This will be my weekly training and other ramblings during what I hope is my build up to my long hoped for return to the marathon.

My First Canova Block
About mid way through my first experience with Canova I would attempt my first special Block. I should have been doing a specific block but at the time I couldn't have told you the difference and more over your not going to get through a specific block without doing a special block earlier in the cycle and I hadn't done a Canova base but all these were problems I didn't know I had.
I ran the first session starting at 7am. At the time I was meeting Sammy a 4:00 miler from Texas who had moved up to Massachusetts recently and was working at the same running shoe store I was. Sammy would stop off at my house for the morning run on his way to work in the morning and after the run he would go to work for the first shift at the store. I would take over for him at 1pm and work until 5pm, it was 2 to 7 on thursday and Sunday was 12 to 4 but that is all off topic.
The morning session was 10k with a goal of 34mins and 10k with a goal of 32mins. The PM session was 10k with a goal of 34mins and 10x1k with a goal of 3:00 per k.
Sammy arrived in full awareness of the monstrosity I was to attempt. He had decided he would do the warm-up and the first 10k then he would cool down and go to work leaving me to the hell of my own making. We warmed up 3 miles on the cold winter morning and did some strides on the busy Lowell Boulavard. It was busy but it is FLAT and that I was grateful for. I had pre measured with a wheel an out and back 5k and a 1k stretch for the reps. Garmins and online measurement existed at the time but they were less accurate and I certainly didn't own a Garmin.
After a 3 mile warm up in 23 mins and a few light strides Sammy and I were off. This was not a target workout for Sammy who was just trying to ease himself back into shape and I was nervous as hell, we hit the 5k turn around in 17:10 and closed up both feeling super strong at 34:15. I was still scared but I was super surprised how easy that had felt. Sammy was pumped as well to have knocked out a tempo at under 5:30 pace stayed in a easy talking effort the whole way. Now he was off to work. I did a little light jogging and a few strides and headed out. I had a split at 1k and 1 mile then 2 miles I was running in a large part by feel. I was super happy to hit the turn around and not feel dead, though my legs were quite heavy, at 15:52, I really started to push on the way back and found I was going about as fast as I could. I finished up in 31:39. At that time it was one of the 5 or ten fastest 10k's I had ever done and it was the fastest tempo run I had ever done. I was shocked. This was early in my Canova training and I was improving fast. However my elation was tempered by the knowledge that I would have to do it again that afternoon. It was already one of the longest and most exhausting workouts I had ever done.
At this time I was religious about getting my cool down in, I'm not anymore, but I cut myself some slack and did a little over 2 miles cool down back to the house and got ready for work. At the time I was using chocolate milk as my post workout recovery and I had bought a special half gallon of it just for this day and of course completely forgot about it.
The shoe store I worked at was pretty slow and I basically used to just stand around all day and see only a few customers. This day was much of the same though I snuck a few more sitting moments on the try on benches than usual.
It was dark that evening when I got out of work. I walked my mile home as was my custom at the time and changed up for round two. I headed out for my 3 mile warm up and just felt exhausted. I wasn't tight or sore I was just exhausted and had heavy legs. I was in new territory and I had no idea what to expect. In fact that I wasn't sore or tight was sort of mind blowing to me.
Back on the Boulivard I did my strides and got right to work. I was shocked that although I felt very heavy and tired the slower running felt very easy and I was ahead on my splits right from the gun. I was 16:33 at the turn around and finished up feeling aerobically good but very very tired at 33:03.
I took 5mins rest with a good bit of jogging and strides as it was January in Massachusetts and though the weather was good by those standards it was far to cold to stand around for five minutes. I attacked my first 1k interval not knowing what to expect. I had no set out splits but I had checked my split on the tempos at an intersection and I used this as a ballpark mark to get a sense of how I was doing. There was a light breeze and on the odd reps it was at my back. I hit my finish in 2:59 and I was pumped. I had nice long 2 min rests but it is strange when you have run that much hard mileage it isn't your breathing you are trying to recover. That comes quickly instead your legs are like sand bags and you don't have an ounce of spring. No amount of rest will get that back for you.
Rep two into the wind hurt more and was a 3:01. Rep 3 was my flyer in 2:55 I was pumped up about it but I knew if I tried to keep that up I would be done very soon. On rep 4 all my delusions were gone. I suffered through a 3:01 into the wind.
For the next few reps I ran 2:57, 3:03 and 3:00. Each rep was incredibly hard but I would get it done and feel like this was just how it was going to be. I would have to fight a war with my dead legs but I would finish, one circle of hell rep at a time.
The 8th rep was a 3:05. It felt noticeably worse than the others and I could tell as I was running it that it was slower but I tried to tell myself during the rest that it was the wind that had killed me. Plus I only had 2 reps to go. Every part of my being knew I was done but I only had to go out and back. One more in each direction.
I had exceeded everything I had ever done I was in a whole knew place I leaped into the 9th rep. My legs felt unresponsive and my feet just slapped down I was slow at my split and no amount of will seemed to move my body. 3:07. Really not so bad but I was crushed it was 7 seconds off pace and it was a tail wind rep. The rest seemed to be over instantly and I was pushing back on my last rep!
The top of the mountain was in sight and you would think that would bring out the final reserves for a last great effort. There were however no reserves left they had been brought out and burnt up long ago. I felt like I was barely moving. I ran 3:13 slower by a good bit than the pace of the 10k I tempo I had run in the morning that had felt so easy. Honestly if you told me before I looked at the watch that the rep had been at 6 minute mile pace I would have believed you. It felt that bad.
Honestly my workout was done after 8 reps. I had not done the prep work to be ready for a session like this and frankly it kind of amazes me that I got as far as I did but even with that the last two reps were a bridge to far.
As I stood dazed hands on knees I began to realize just how wiped out my legs were. Shaky, weak, unresponsive. Crushed. I had NOTHING left. I mentioned above I ALWAYS cooled down but now I knew I was done. The quickest way back to my house was a straight mile jog. I painfully struggled through it. I couldn't lift my legs properly. I actually felt fear that I wouldn't make it back to my house but I had no choice. One step at a time I made it back. I nearly fell on my walk across the driveway to the kitchen door. It was after 8pm. I was ruined.
This time I remembered my chocolate milk! I drank straight from the bottle and had in a minute or two finished the whole bottle. At which point I remembered that drinking a half gallon of milk was a bad idea. I had seen enough gallon challenges in college to know that a half gallon could be enough to make you puke. Luckily though I didn't feel so hot I had none of those problems.
After a short while I took a painful shower and dragged myself to bed. I was so exhausted I assumed I would drop into a coma like sleep. I was wrong.
The damage I had wrought on my body had pushed me to a state where I could not settle into a sleep. I lay there. I had cramps. I shuffled to the bathroom. I was dehydrated, I was exhausted. I was wrecked. I knew after an hour or two that no real sleep would happen but I had no desire to get out of bed I would simply lay there in my misery and hope to feel somewhat closer to human when the sun came up.
It would take a while but I would recover. I would however not be the same. A new athlete had been born. My will for the long war had been hardened my endurance had reached new levels. I would find out in my marathon debut that one great session like this alone was not enough to really finish a marathon perfectly but it was enough that I do feel this was the turning point of when I went from a guy who had potential to run a good marathon to a marathoner.

That is a great read Nate, what was the mileage for that day & how did you feel the next day?

I'd have to look back in my old training log to be sure but based on memory I think I did 5 or 6 miles the next day with the Umass Lowell female distance crew. I believe they dropped me. I was completely wiped out. I didn't do a quality workout for at least 10 days.
- January 15, 2015 at 2:23 AM
I know you're marathon focused, but what would a special block look like for a 10k or half-marathon? How would you use it? What's the advantage of a special block for those events over simply running an over-distance road race?
I know the marathon is a bit of a different animal, so I can see the obvious advantage to something like this for that event. I couldn't find much in the way of examples for other events by searching Canova posts on Letsrun.

Craig- you do approach blocks for other events somewhat differently. The big picture is the same two hard, but not super hard, workouts in the same day. I agree it is harder to find. I have a document on with a few examples someplace I'll try to track it down and get it in some form to be posted this weekend. The one I can think of is for the 5k in the AM you do a longish warm up and then a 4 mile tempo at about half marathon pace. PM You do 6x400 very fast mile to 3k pace with 200 jog. That would be a special block not a specific block but it gives you an idea. The volume is much lower and the systems targeted are different.

This is mind-blowing! So somewhere in the range of 35 miles that day?! Sometimes I wonder if Canova is a little too crazy. I realize this workout is once in a blue moon, and it builds mental toughness, but at what cost to your body?
- January 12, 2016 at 3:38 PM
- email@example.com said...
electron1661- It isn't first day shit. This is not a workout that 99% of people should do. However if you are a serious national class or so marathoner who has a history of heavy training it is a great session. The price your body pays is huge. But not as huge as it pays for racing a marathon.

"Mala peruviana" or "bad Peruvian" was a name given to the tomato by Europeans when it was introduced from Latin America, because they saw this new fruit with suspicion. Today it is hard to imagine Greek cuisine without it. The producers of "Mala Peruviana" tomato juice strongly believe in respecting the seasonality of each product of the earth. Therefore, tomatoes are carefully picked from outdoor crops at the right time and they are pasteurized with care so that they remain fresh as if they were picked today. All this in a wonderful and very unique packaging. Enjoy!
A gold reddish honey with smooth sweetness and the feeling of wild island flowers and thyme nectar. It is unfiltered and extracted below 35 degrees without any pasteurization. It is not submitted to any heating which destroys aromas, yeast enzymes and phenol. Packaged and sealed by hand using hologram seal, with no machine involved in the production process. We guarantee the excellence, and the unique flavor of island wildflowers with thyme until the last drop.
It is hard to imagine that a paper envelope can be hiding such tastefulness. When you unwrap it you can feel the smell of mastic tickling your nose. Then it only takes a bite or two, all soft and crunchy at the same time, before you completely surrender to this unique tasting experience. The whole almonds really don't make it any easier to resist the temptation. However you can feel less guilty if you think about the nutritional value of mastic: among other things, it protects the digestive system, it contributes to good mouth hygiene, it has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect.
A great sauce that will boost the taste of your plates, pasta or salads. It can also make a great starter if you spread it on toasted bread. You can also try it with chicken or in other vegetarian plates, for example poured over freshly baked potatoes or other vegetables. The aubergines contain fibers, vitamins and minerals. They help the good function of the digestive system and have antioxidant effect. This sauce is made with extra virgin olive oil, which enhances the aromas and tastes of it ingredients.
This organic thyme is naturally cultivated on a sunny hillside which overlooks the Olympus mountain. It is hand picked and naturally dried in a shady and well aired space before being packed with care so that it maintains all its benefits. And indeed thyme has a lot more to offer: antibacterial, fungicidal, it soothes coughing, helps fight the flue and indigestion. Moreover it counteracts acne and other dermatological problems, it enhances the immune and nervous system. And, of course, it makes our food much more tasty!

posted on January 16, 2018 by Scott A. Breen
by Scott Breen, Real Estate, Corporate & Business Law
Most people have heard that Congress recently passed extreme tax reform laws (commonly referred to as the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act") that will significantly reduce "corporate" tax rates (from a maximum graduated rate of 35% to a flat tax of 21%) beginning in 2018. This tax reduction applies to "C corporations," which is the type of entity most often used by larger (often publicly traded) corporations. Most small business entities are created as limited liability companies (LLCs), S corporations, partnerships, or sole proprietorships. These four types of entities are each considered "pass-through entities" that may also qualify for relief under the new tax reform laws.
Under the new laws, an individual taxpayer who is an owner of a pass-through entity may generally deduct 20% of that taxpayer's "qualified business income." Qualified business income does not include W-2 wages or various investment incomes that the taxpayer may receive from the business enterprise. Qualified business income is generally thought of as the ordinary net income that is allocated to the owners on a K-1 at the end of each year.
As with most laws, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is complicated. There is much more involved in determining your deduction than simply multiplying qualified business income by 20%. At a minimum, you must also consider the following questions:
Depending on the answers to these questions (as well as others), you may want to pay more in W-2 wages, change your business structure (e.g. from an LLC to an S corporation), or restructure your business in a number of other ways to minimize taxes.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provides some significant tax savings to many types of large and small businesses. As with any tax issue, business owners should plan as early as possible to make sure that business operations are properly structured during 2018 and beyond.
For additional guidance on these tax matters or other legal inquiries, please contact attorney Scott A. Breen at Willingham & Coté, P.C. Scott is an attorney with a Master of Laws degree (LL.M.) in taxation and specializes in corporate and partnership taxation.

Chicago drivers will soon be spared from having to feed parking meters on Sundays, but they'll make up for it with longer meter hours during the rest of the week, under changes to the city's unpopular parking privatization contract that the City Council approved on Wednesday.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel's tweaks to the much-hated privatization plan passed the full Council by a vote of 39 to 11, even as a cadre of aldermen remained concerned the changes could hurt local businesses, and possibly lead to profit windfall for Chicago Parking Meters LLC, the private firm that runs the meters.
But a comfortable majority of aldermen nonetheless backed the mayor's proposal, and praised him for negotiating a deal that the Emanuel administration claims will save the city about $25 million a year in penalties it would have had to pay to the meter company.
"I have true respect for opening up the wound and cauterizing it the best you possibly can," said 33rd Ward Ald. Dick Mell, a staunch Emanuel ally.
Wednesday's final vote is the culmination of months of fighting between City Hall and Chicago Parking Meters LLC.
The company had billed the city about $49 million for meters that were taken out of service during the last two years for things like street festivals and construction. But as part of the agreement, the city will pay only $8.9 million for those years, and will end up paying about $1 billion less in penalties over the remaining 71 years of the parking meter lease, according to the mayor's office.
The second part of the deal is what's become known as the "Sunday swap": In exchange for free Sunday parking in most Chicago neighborhoods, drivers will have to start feeding the meters longer beginning sometime this summer. Hours for non-residential meters outside the central business district will extend from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m., while meters around the River North nightlife district will now operate until midnight.
The mayor has said repeatedly that, with his changes, he's "trying to make a little lemonade out of a big lemon."
But speaking before Wednesday's vote. Ald. Bob Fioretti turned that talking point on its head.
"Some lemons shouldn't be made into lemonade," Fioretti said. "Some lemons should be returned to the store for a refund."
It was the Sunday swap - which some aldermen say was shoe-horned into the deal by Emanuel to score political points with voters - that plagued some aldermen.
Fioretti was one of a handful of aldermen who led the charge against Emanuel's proposal during four days of painstakingly detailed City Council hearings. But an effort to separate the two parts of the deal failed in committee on Monday, after the Emanuel's administration warned that tinkering with any part of the negotiated settlement would sink the deal entirely.
Aldermen also questioned the administration's math that CPM stands to lose about $8.4 million in revenue each year as a result of the free Sundays, while it will make only about $7.4 million from the extended hours. Emanuel's staff hired an outside firm to corroborate those estimates - a study that could cost the city about $250,000.
But the possibility of giving any more revenue to the meter company was too much for some aldermen, who still feel burned by the original 2008 meter privatization that led to dramatically higher parking rates across the city, after former Mayor Richard Daley crammed the deal through the City Council in just three days.
The city got $1.15 billion in the deal, but drivers got saddled with some of the highest parking rates in the country.
Free Sunday parking will kick in mid-summer, at the earliest. But some aldermen are already talking about reinstating paid Sundays, as some small businesses say parking pay boxes help keep customers moving through high-traffic retail areas.
"Meters are for economic development, okay? They were never thought of as a revenue source," said Ald. Tom Tunney, who said he plans to fight for paid Sunday parking in some areas of his North Side ward. "Sunday is the first- or second-busiest day in our neighborhoods. Give free meters on Tuesday."
Language allowing aldermen to scale back free Sunday parking was not part of the ordinance that passed Wednesday. But the mayor's office has said those changes can be made later, on a ward-by-ward basis.

Why did I agree to do it then? Well, for one thing, I give in to Magdalen easily. She also went for the old trick of giving me lots of options about which book I could read, while making it clear I had to read something. Plus I had a certain curiosity about the bodice-ripping world into which Magdalen immerses herself. And, although thinking what to say isn't easy, I love choosing the pictures for a blog post.
The heroine Elly Dinsmore also starts out as a relatively unsympathetic character, seemingly still half-crazy after a childhood in which she isn't allowed out of the house (and then when forced to, to go to school, is of course teased mercilessly). She advertises for a husband (did that really happen??), as follows, which is how she meets and comes to marry Will (only falling in love with him after he proves himself in the early months of the marriage):
WANTED--A HUSBAND. Needhealthy man of any age willingto work a spread and share theplace. See E. Dinsmore, top ofRock Creek Road.
The lurching gyrations in the hero and heroine's life towards the end of the book are I gather par for the course for the romance genre: things seem to be going along swimmingly until Will is wrongly accused of murder and in a moment the relationship falls apart - admittedly Elly soon changes her mind about her husband's guilt, but Will goes to pieces in jail and imagines his wife couldn't love him. A few pages later, Will is cleared of the charges and the couple are back to normal just in time for the book to end.
Some of the other minor characters are less believable to the point of being clichéd: I've never come across anyone quite like Lula Peak, the town floozy who has the hots for Will; and the sadistic foreman Harley Overmire seems reminiscent of many movie villains.
Here are some random things I learned from the book:
To sum up, I enjoyed reading Morning Glory, but less for the romantic story than the picture it paints of the time and place, and the comic aspects. Clearly it is a well-regarded romance, winning a Romance Writers of America RITA Award. It's just not my fav genre and when I get a chance to read fiction, I'll stick to my preference for comedy (Wodehouse, Waugh et al) and classic fiction from Dickens onwards.

Dear Jim: What happened to the XMSR/SIRI merger calendar? This is what the FCC wants, for everybody to forget about the merger without having to come to a decision!
Cramer says: It's an outrage that the deal between XM and Sirius , now one year and 63 days overdue according to the calendar, is still being held up by the FCC even after the Department of Justice gave its blessing. It has reached the stratosphere of benign neglect.
Dear Jim: You tell us to do our homework, what about yours on Google ? You have missed big and have probably cost your viewers a lot of money. Wouldn't it be a lot nicer to say "I really am uncertain about Google," instead of saying you didn't like Google and calling it dead money? $90 up is not dead money. –Ed
Cramer says: I blew it. While I'm not a total moron, considering I recommended Google back when it was at $90, I was wrong on it here. I listened to the data provided by comScore, like a lot of shorts did, and it sent me in the wrong direction.
Dear Jim: A stuttering, digitally enhanced, Rushmore state Booyah! I've been holding Coca-Cola since the beginning of April, and so far I've been in the house of mild discomfort. House of pain? Not yet, but getting there. Curious, I checked the recent activity of Pepsico and the two seem to be doing the same thing. Why? --Erik
Cramer says: Defensive stocks aren't doing well because a lot of investors are betting that the recession, which has not even formally been declared, is over. The companies, however, are not doing poorly, so use the weakness to buy more of stocks like KO.
Questions for Cramer?

for Allergies
Allergy Link is specialised in Allergy & Intolerance Testing since 2004 and has helped more than 20,000 people throughout the UK, Europe, Scandinavia and Japan.
The Testing Service is used by individuals and professional alike, but is mainly employed by practitioners and health clinics.
Allergy Links aim is to deliver high quality service offering an alternative, pain-free and affordable allergy testing service by post – presenting a solution that doesn't compromise on quality.
Allergy Link was founded to meet the growing needs and demands of people affected - experiencing intolerances, allergic reactions and related health problems. The rise in awareness that the foods we eat and the substances we are exposed to, actually do play a role in our overall health, lead to the rise in the demand for testing. Many clients have expressed their dissatisfaction that doctors dismiss the possible link to foods as cause or contributing factor of their symptoms.
Conventional allergy testing does not recognise intolerances, or any other allergy-like reactions such as sensitivities or energy toxins. Allergy testing is not yet a standard procedure within the NHS, as the margins of a 'true allergy' are set tightly by the medical profession.
But some medical doctors are becoming slowly educated, that there are other solutions, one of whom is Dr. Mehmet Oz who said: ''The next big frontier in Medicine is Energy Medicine''. Which Chinese Medicine has established already thousands of years ago.
Allergy Link adopts an 'Vibrational or Energy Medicine' approach to Allergies, recognizing that a person can be affected by any substance and in various ways.
The specialism of the testing service is influenced by the pioneering work from NAET®- 'Nambudripads Allergy Elimination Techniques' and Allergy Antidote™, Two cutting edge energy medicine techniques that not only detect 'allergies' and substance sensitivities, but offer treatment options.
Ute Eden specialised in Allergy Testing in 2002 and founded
Allergy Link in 2004.
Her training includes NAET Nambudripads Alllergy Elimination techniques and ALLERGY ANTIDOTE, both to advanced level.
She further trained as an EFT practitioner.
Born in Germany 1961, her prior background includes
training as a Goldsmith (Zeichen Akademie Hanau 1978-82)
and Educational Nurse / childcare worker.
A health crisis in the late 80's lead her to investigate self-help and healing techniques, and she decided to train as a Radisthesia practitioner & teacher (Germany 1994-98).
Ute has been a holistic health adviser & practitioner since 1997.
She has been living in the Uk since 1997 and worked for several years in a healthfood store.
The growing request from clients, as well as her own experiences made the health - food - link and any disturbances thereof quite clear. Answers to unexplained symptoms were needed. The scope that substance sensitivities, allergies and intolerances can have on our health had to be investigated.

Australia's sheep flock is forecast to fall to 65.8 million head by June 2019, down 6.8% year-on-year and the largest year-on-year decline since 2008, according to the June 2019 update of Meat & Livestock Australia's (MLA) 2019 Sheep Industry Projections.
The contraction is being driven by ongoing drought in all key sheep production regions and heightened sheep slaughter, with many producers now running significantly reduced flocks.
MLA's Market Intelligence Manager, Scott Tolmie, said the combination of generally low lambing rates and a poor weather outlook for winter is expected to disrupt lamb supply in the coming months.
"Throughout 2019, rainfall has been insufficient in all key sheep production regions, compounding the effects of an extended two-year period of rainfall deficiencies," Mr Tolmie said.
"On the whole, NSW remains the worst affected with 99% of the State still drought-declared and many producers relying solely on supplementary feeding programs to maintain flocks.
"Elsewhere, very few regions across South Australia, Western Australia and Victoria have been immune to the poor conditions. Forming a crucial component of Australian sheepmeat production, the absence of winter rain in these states may lead to a disruption in spring lamb supply, similar to what was experienced in 2018.
"The dry conditions have led to sheep slaughter remaining elevated so far in 2019. However, there has been an easing trend through autumn and a slow-down is expected in the second half of the year as producers look to maintain their core breeding flocks.
"Overall forecast annual lamb slaughter remains unchanged from the January (2019) projections, at 21.2 million head, down 7% on 2018, while annual sheep slaughter has been revised slightly upwards and is now expected to fall 11% year-on-year, to 8.5 million head.
"Lamb production is expected to be 477,000 tonnes carcase weight (cwt), down 7% year-on-year, and mutton production is now forecast to be 12% lower than 2018, at 199,000 tonnes cwt."
Focusing on demand, Mr Tolmie said the outlook remains positive for the industry.
"Despite the drought, both lamb and mutton prices have reached record highs in the last 12 months," Mr Tolmie said.
"This has been underpinned by strong demand for Australia's sheepmeat exports, which continue to push new highs, bolstered by a declining Australian dollar and limited competition.
"The growth in demand, particularly from China and the United States, has translated into strong domestic farmgate prices, with the national mutton indicator breaking through 600c/kg cwt in May for the first time and lamb prices quickly closing in on the record highs of August 2018.
"The national saleyard trade lamb indicator opened the year at 657c/kg and has since advanced to 888c/kg, 40% above year-ago levels."
Mr Tolmie said the forecast drop in sheepmeat production in 2019 should keep lamb and mutton prices historically high throughout the year, with an additional upside possible if improved seasonal conditions spark restocker activity.
"Sheepmeat exports have grown across most markets during the first four months of 2019 with Australian lamb exports to China increasing 22% year-on-year, to 21,000 tonnes shipped weight (swt) while mutton shipments surged 99%, to 22,000 tonnes swt," Mr Tolmie said.
"Despite an elevated start to the year, exports are forecast to contract throughout the remainder of the year as supply tightens.
"Lamb exports are forecast to finish the year (2019) 6% below 2018 levels, at 254,000 tonnes swt, and mutton to contract 9%, to 160,000 tonnes swt."

"I've developed a great appreciation for the writings of Monsignor Luigi Giussani, founder of Communion and Liberation, a mostly lay movement that began in Italy. I meet regularly with people in this area who are interested in following its charism. It's based on the encounter with Christ that one has by the very fact that Christ took on our flesh and became one of us to show us the way back to God."

Gaylord, MI
This past week the Holy Father appointed Father Steven John Raica, priest and Vicar General and Chancellor of the Diocese of Lansing, MI, as the fifth bishop of Gaylord, MI. The Diocese of Gaylord is one of the newer dioceses in the USA having been established by Pope Paul VI on July 20, 1971.
For several years Father Raica, 61, has been following the ecclesial movement of Communion and Liberation and the various gestures of CL, including the annual gathering called the New York Encounter.
All of us are full of joy with the news of Father Raica being made a bishop, and a brother who makes the journey of faith in the companionship of Communion and Liberation.

Looping the music/ambient tracks

We really enjoy playing the board game with the music/ambient track and we just set it on repeat when we are playing. Can you put an option in to loop one or all the tracks for the app version of the game?
Jason Hidden Achievement last edited by
It should already be looping or playing the audio on shuffle based on the settings in the options during play. We'll look at that to make sure it's correctly restarting the audio (or starting a new track if it's set to shuffle) after the current track finishes.

If it helps, I'm playing on the iOS app on a new iPad Pro.

A Call to Russia: Glimpses of Missionary Life
A Call to Russia: Glimpses of Missionary Life
Hopeful and heartbreaking, sobering and exultant. A Call to Russia captures missionary life as experienced by a mission president, his wife and daughter, and the sisters and elders who served under him. But above all, this book is an invitation to reflect upon our own lives. Some glimpses from President Rogers:
"Our senior district president recently asked me, 'What are your greatest impressions since coming here?' I answered, 'Faith and love. Love and faith.' And the way things seem to fall apart on at least a weekly basis before they're somehow put back together."
"In our quest to see God's face, what most matters in mortality is how we face one another--with what patience, tenderness, mercy, and good humor."
"Another great blessing—a mission makes us more aware than otherwise of our personal inadequacies."
"A friend wrote me, 'You've certainly changed.' It's good others can see how the gospel has indeed changed us—how we have repented. As a great assistant to the president put it, 'The best missionary is a repenting missionary.'"
"We all confront, all the time, a choice between two paths. One is higher, with steeper terrain, where you often strain to catch your breath or to reach a handhold. The other lies well below it and tends if anything toward a gradual and easy descent."

Lithium Chile Updates Turi Drilling Program and Announces Rig Mobilization
Mr. Steven Cochrane reports:
Lithium Chile Inc. anticipates that construction of the first drill pad on its Turi exploration prospect will be completed this week and that mobilization of the drilling rig contracted with Big Bear Drilling out of La Serena, Chile, will also commence toward the end of the week. Lithium Chile expects to collar and begin drilling its first reconnaissance hole on Turi early the week of Nov. 25, 2019. The first drill hole will test the greater-than-300-metre-thick core of a large well-defined high-conductivity TEM geophysical anomaly underlying at least 63 square kilometres of the Turi property. Near-surface brine samples taken by Lithium Chile from the area above the TEM anomaly contain lithium values ranging up to 590 milligrams per litre and moderate to low magnesium to lithium ratios of 7.8.
Lithium Chile has contracted Montgomery and Associates Consultores Ltda. from Santiago to assist with both the drilling and sampling program on Turi based upon its extensive experience in lithium exploration. Montgomery and Associates has developed most of the current resources and reserves definitions used for lithium brines in National Instrument 43-101 reports. It will assure quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) control in its sampling techniques.
Steve Cochrane, president and chief executive officer of Lithium Chile, comments: "We are extremely pleased that we are finally able to commence our exploration program on our Turi prospect. With the challenges facing our industry today, the initiation of our second exploration project in Chile is a major success for Lithium Chile. I am proud of our team in Chile and we see this program as a significant opportunity to add shareholder value."
About Lithium Chile Inc.
Lithium Chile is advancing a lithium property portfolio comprising 166,150 hectares covering sections of 14 salars and two laguna complexes in Chile.

Lets break it down.
|14th Panzer Division
|23rd SS Panzer Division
Clearly Not the 23rd SS division.
in East Germany (1945).
First clue is that these tanks are Panzer Grey. In 1945 I doubt there were any tanks still in panzer grey in 1945. And now knowing that this is the 14th Panzer Division, they never made it back to Germany. They were trapped in the Courland Pocket, in the Baltic states.
Based on the colour and type of tank (which I'll get to) and the lack of leaves on the trees, my guess puts these tanks some where between Kiev and Rostov in the Fall of 1941. Maybe, near Stalingrad in 1942.
The ones in the background are definitely not Panzer III N's. I believe they are Panzer III J late. Although the middle one looks like a Panzer III hull with a T-26 turret. That could just be the light and shadows playing tricks.
Very cool picture, but the guy who posted obviously didn't do any research.
Which is a great lesson in FoW Modeling as well. I've found decal sheets with the wrong unit designations on them.
So, what lesson have we learned? Always, always do your research.
If you wish to contest my theory on this picture by all means.

Skip to 0 minutes and 16 seconds The story of Romeo and Juliet takes place in Verona in Italy. Two families– the Montagues and the Capulets– hate each other so much that they fight on the street whenever they meet. One of these families, the Capulets, organises a big party so that they can introduce their daughter, Juliet, to a rich nobleman– Count Paris, who has asked to marry her. Juliet is nearly 14, and her parents are keen for her to marry soon. Romeo is the son of the Montague family. Romeo and his friends decide that it would be exciting to go to the Capulet's party, too.
Skip to 1 minute and 2 seconds But they agree that they must go in disguise, because if they are recognised at the party by the Capulets, they might be killed. That night at the party, Romeo meets Juliet, and they fall in love at first sight. However, Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, recognises Romeo, knows he is from the Montague family, and wants to kill him. Romeo hides in the garden, and talks to Juliet when she appears on her balcony. They realise that they are perfect for each other, and decide to get married. The next day, they go to a priest called Friar Lawrence, who marries them in secret. Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, gets angry very easily. He starts a fight with Romeo's best friend.
Skip to 1 minute and 59 seconds When Romeo steps in to break up the fight between the two men, his best friend is accidentally killed. Romeo runs after Tybalt in anger and kills him. Romeo is sent away from Verona. But Friar Lawrence, the priest who organised the secret wedding between Romeo and Juliet, arranges for them to spend one night together as husband and wife. Meanwhile, the Capulets decide that Juliet must marry Count Paris immediately. When she says that she doesn't want to, her parents are very angry with her, and her mother says that she will never speak to her again. Of course, they do not know that she is already secretly married to Romeo.
Skip to 2 minutes and 50 seconds Juliet asks Friar Lawrence to get her out of this difficult situation, so that she can see her beloved Romeo again. Friar Lawrence has an idea. He gives Juliet a drug, which will make everyone think that she's dead. When in fact, she is only in a long, deep sleep. While Juliet is sleeping, Friar Lawrence sends a message to Romeo to tell him to come to her tomb and take her away. When the guests arrive for Juliet's wedding the next day, her lifeless body is discovered. Believing she is dead, her family puts her in their tomb. Tragically, Romeo never gets Friar Lawrence's message that Juliet has taken a drug, and is really alive. He only hears that she is dead.
Skip to 3 minutes and 45 seconds Romeo returns to Verona and goes to Juliet's tomb. There, inside the tomb, he meets Count Paris, who has also come to say goodbye to Juliet. The two fight and Romeo kills him. Romeo still believes that Juliet is dead, so he drinks poison and dies. But soon after this, Juliet's drug stops working, and she wakes up. She sees that Romeo is dead, takes his knife, and kills herself, too. When the Capulets and the Montagues discover both their children, dead, they are united in their sadness. The two families decide to make peace with each other, and promise to build a monument to the memory of both Romeo and Juliet.

Comment by Joseph Wheeler, IALPG:
Asia Pacific Aviation Liability
Joseph has kindly allowed his review of the recent Asia Pacific Aviation Liability event in February 2016 to be reproduced here.
This inaugural event, jointly organised by IALPG and Aeropodium and hosted by Maurice Blackburn Lawyers in Sydney, provided a forum for the exchange of ideas, analysis of novel issues going forward, and for all attendees to get an appreciation of how and why aviation liability in respect of particularly recreational remotely piloted aircraft, is something that requires both policymaker, and community attention in Australia and further afield through Asia Pacific.
The myriad issues which emerge given the easy misuse and dangerous applications of remotely piloted aircraft are readily moderated by the fact that Australian safety regulators, and now more recently, many other states, are recognising the real level of risk carried by quickly developing technology.
Unlike model and radio controlled aircraft, which are notoriously difficult to learn how to fly, and have a well-established, historically responsible, and organised community of participants, remotely piloted recreational and aircraft come straight out of the box with exceptionally good stability controls, a variety of privacy-challenging features, and are thus affordable and accessible to those with diminished responsibility, children, and those who would purposefully (and successfully) use them for malicious or criminal purposes.
The seminar heard about recent statistics which put laser attacks on pilots as the number two cause for pilot incapacitation events in Australia in respect of high-capacity air transport operations. It is only with comprehensive federal, state and local level policy consideration that these fun but potentially dangerous aircraft will not join that list.
Presentations by Michael Nas, and Aidan Bruford, presented some surprising, but perhaps sobering realities in respect of drone misuse, and their frailties. For example Mr Nas presented statistics recently taken from the United States, that suggested the majority of incidents which could cause injury with drones happened above 400 feet above ground level. Four hundred feet is the regulated ceiling of unmanned aerial vehicles under Australia's current regulations. It is the same case in the United States.
Furthermore, Mr Bruford from the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development showed a YouTube video wherein a teenage boy demonstrated how he could use his iPad to assume third-party control of an operational drone, and disable it. The liability consequences of these matters are frightening, and laws which purport to restrict flight to certain altitudes, away from crowds, or even prevent flight in public spaces can only prevent misuse in a fraction of potential instances.
What is needed is more pervasive control and education, together with a different attitude towards remotely piloted aircraft from a variety of perspectives. For example, laser pointers are restricted imports in Australia, depending on their power. This recognition of their ability to be used as weapons, and the fact that much of the more "dangerous" hardware is available off the shelf as an import from other nations, goes some way to mitigating the risks of non–hobbyists taking to the skies with aircraft more powerful than their capability or responsibility level.
Additionally, the airworthiness standards issue in relation to these aircraft is a difficult, though not insurmountable challenge. In the defence realm, Wing Commander Andrew Bannister discussed how a risk framework was developed in order to inform various aspects of airworthiness. It is this outcome-oriented approach which may well be a key, if not the key, to ensuring the enormous diversity of remotely piloted aircraft are able to conform to a suitably reliable standard of airworthiness.
The problems of evidence in respect of drones that crash, causing injury or death, and the question of identifying the operator for the purposes of Australian compensation legislation for damage by aircraft are also difficult but not impossible to resolve. The FAA registration system, although arguably only regulating the already-compliant, demonstrates how operators themselves can and should be monitored by the overarching national airspace regulator, at least for the purpose of disseminating information/education material, and advice or counselling.
In fact, as CASA has a legislated mandate to foster education about the safe use of aviation, not just within the aviation industry, but within the community as a whole, it is uncertain why a registration system is not more broadly lauded locally as a good step forward. Certainly, as raised in the context of the seminar this week, the Australian government's red tape reduction policy applies to even this area, such that more prescriptive regulation will only be considered if absolutely necessary. That is admirable, and forces Australians and the world to look outside black letter law to other ways of modifying and controlling behaviours which present a danger in the air and on the ground.
The seminar was a small step forward to making the conversation in respect of controlling the negative consequences of recreational remotely piloted aircraft use better appreciated for why it is important. This is certainly not, given our "corporate knowledge" of the adverse consequences of aviation such as fatal accidents, a discussion we should be having in the aftermath of a preventable disaster.
Our day to day focus, and certainly the focus of IALPG, is on aviation law, but to us that term is inextricably linked with social justice and aviation safety as an exercise in prevention rather than just cure.
I would like to thank all our speakers and sponsors for making the event a reality, and contributing to a valuable, enthusiastic, and eye-opening day of aviation law and policy discussion.

Listening as I write to the Best Years compilation. I passed the test CDs a few weeks ago, but the real thing is a pleasure to hold and play. It's a sharp, bright, clean and sympathetic cut by one of Abbey Road's master mastering engineers, Andy Pearce (Andy, it's brilliant, flawless, thank you). Check the backing vocals and horns on Panorama. Sensational.
It will surely make a splendid project for next year: the entire album, in sequence as half of a Live show. But Make Me Smile coming in at number 6 on the set-list? Maybe I'll play the slow blues version, the way I first aired it in the studio that winter's morn in '74. The real thing really ought to come a little later, didn't it? We were so young. But those guys could play. And Yvonne with Liza Strike and Linda Lewis and Jim and George: that's a backing vocal choir! Alan Parsons was (probably still is) a gifted studio engineer. Make Me Smile is one of his classic achievements. The whole album is. Listen to that guitar sound on Back To The Farm, Cregan and Parsons in inventive tandem. I can't wait to hand one of our Promo copies to both Jim and Stuart at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday. They can be proud. Cregan and Mackay in harmony parts on that solo in 7/4 time. We were on fire with crazy, daring ideas. "We was angry – " Bits of 9/4... "Putting new coaches on the train..." Slowed-down tape, sped up tape. Stuart on Chinese cymbals and cross-tempo snare fills that owed more to the playing of great jazz drummers (Buddy Rich et al) his dad, a pro drummer, would have fed him as a boy than to rock music.
And dear George's voice, "And we mustn't laugh at the end..." Bless his soul.
Another Journey: "Yes, I'd give everything to be free – (would) sit in (through) a million trials to be free; there's motivation, obviously – it's coming to nothing, nothing. You'll see." The harmonica is always a lonesome sound.
Rough voice track on Make Me Smile – well, now you know. It don't come in an instant very often! Takes a few cracks at it. There were probably a dozen attempts after the one we've included here. Took a while to acquire the right attitude. But that guitar solo was sorted by then, and how good does that sound? Jim? Out there.
The Best Years Of Our Years acoustic demo (why do I allow this to reach your ears? WHY?) is proof if needed that all songs start and finish as just that, as a song– not productions, not records. The song comes first. On this original, I attempted to invert the "tragic" and "magic" or was I just tired? That demo was played just to Alan and our tape operator in the early hours when the long day and night had been wrapped. I just told Alan I had something new for tomorrow but didn't fancy going home yet (I would have been alone at Landward Court, Marble Arch, and was slightly Martini-ed up).
I might watch the DVD tonight, Live at Hammersmith Odeon, April 1975. We exploded in musical mayhem. We were fearless. Many have been asking for this for a long time. Here it is. At Amazon. Hope you enjoy it, guys. More to come....

James Franco talks Oscar flub with David Letterman
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: What do James Franco and David Letterman have in common?
Outside of being cogs (albeit very different cogs) in the sprawling entertainment machine, both Franco and Letterman received mixed reviews for their Oscar-hosting gigs. Letterman looked uncomfortable in a West Coast setting, while Franco looked stoned.
The Oscar nominee, who was up for a Best Actor trophy for "127 Hours," will be on Letterman's talk show Friday night to discuss his controversial Oscar turn, so be sure to tune in or set your DVR. In a preview clip (posted below), Franco says that he has thought about why people considered him to be under the influence, and he deflects some of the blame to his co-host, Anne Hathaway.
"I love her. But Anne Hathaway is so energetic, I think the Tasmanian Devil would look stoned standing next to Anne Hathaway," Franco jokes. "She has a lot of energy!"
He elaborates in this clip. I hope Dave digs even deeper tonight. I'm really looking forward to this:
Franco, meanwhile, will be in "Your Highness," which opens Friday, April 8.

An IMG could soon be set up as the government wants to consider implementing at least some of the proposals submitted by Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC) chairman C Rangarajan, if not all. At least those proposals which can be implemented by the Centre alone could be looked into, a senior government official told FE.
The IMG may comprise ministers of finance, food, commerce and new and renewable energy, he added.
The Rangarajan panel, set up by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in January, suggested in October that mills be freed from the obligation of supplying subsidised sugar for the public distribution system (PDS). The committee also pitched for the scrapping of the release order mechanism through which the government controls sugar sales in the open market and sought to link the price of sugarcane to its byproducts, among others.
The panel suggested the linking of sugarcane price to the rates of its byproducts, and that 70% of ex-mill prices of sugar and each of its three major by-products bagasse, molasses and press mud be paid to farmers for cane supplies. The benchmark price fixed by the Centre also called the fair and remunerative price (FRP) be the minimum price for cane purchases, it added.
It has also suggested a stable export and import policy on sugar and appropriate tariff in the form of a moderate duty on imports and exports, not exceeding 5-10% ordinarily, as opposed to outright ban or quantitative restrictions, should be used to meet domestic requirements of sugar in an economically efficient manner".
Apart from linking cane prices to the byproduct rates where states have a role and cane are de-reservation, all other major recommendations, including on levy sugar and release order mechanism, can be implemented by the Centre, industry executives said.
At present, mills are mandated to sell 10% of their output to the government for the PDS, known as levy sugar, at cheaper rates that cover just around 70% of their cost of production. The government also fixes the quarterly quota of sugar that mills are required to sell in the open market, aimed at discouraging hoarding and keeping supplies steady. Moreover, while the Centre fixes the minimum benchmark price of sugarcane, some states notify much higher prices of the commodity, which, mills complain, bleed their balance sheets when sugar price remains subdued.
The food ministry has already sought responses from key cane-producing states regarding the Rangarajan panel report, submitted last month. If implemented, the scrapping of levy burden alone would leave an additional Rs 3,000 crore a year with the cash-starved sector, but it will also raise the Centres food subsidy burden accordingly.
Efforts at lifting government control twice in the 1970s met fierce political resistance, mainly on concerns that domestic sugar prices would shoot up, and the issue was dropped. The benefits of liberalisation have also not been extended to the sugar industry, while the government has shed control over sectors such as telecom and cement over the years. Moreover, recommendations of panels, including the Mahajan committee, Tuteja committee and Thorat committee, set up in the past to consider decontrolling the sugar sector, were hardly implemented.
However, last month, food minister Thomas had said the government would take a time-bound decision on the committee's recommendations on decontrol and won't relegate them to the background.

MEN take twice as many selfies as women, according to a new survey.
The research by mobile firm HTC found men in Britain, on average, take 3.02 selfies a week while the figure for woman stands at just 1.68.
Only 24% of those taken by males were of their face while 20% of pictures were of chests and 17% showing off six packs.
What the remaining 39% of mobile pictures depicted researchers have left to the imagination.
Women were much more likely to be taking a selfie of their face – with the 55% of their selfies focused there.
However 12% admitted to sharing a boob selfie and 6% of have shared shots of their rear end.
The infamous holiday 'hot dog' leg shot appears to be as popular as ever with 11% of ladies having indulged in that particular pose.
Just last year the British 18 to 30-year-olds took more than one billion selfies.
Self-portraits aren't new but it was the front-facing smartphone camera that really caused them to take off.
And it seems new technology has changed our relationships with celebrities forever.
Of those surveyed 55% would chose a selfie with their favourite star over anything else while just 22% would want an autograph with their celebrity crush.
And in case you were wondering, Jennifer Lawrence and David Beckham are top of the lists of the ultimate selfie shot.
Mobile company HTC, commissioned the study to promote a new smartphone to take a more "flattering" selfie.
The tech company believe the craze to be so wide spread they have even included editing and beauty tools to enhance snaps.

Who will you be talking to? The NHS POD service is provided, on behalf of your GP practice, by NHS High Weald Lewes Havens and Brighton and Hove Clinical Commissioning Group. Your call will be answered by a dedicated, experienced and fully trained prescription co-ordinator.
How does the NHS POD work? You will be asked which GP practice you belong to and if you consent to your medical record being accessed to process your prescription request. You will then be asked to confirm your identity by giving personal details such as name and date of birth. Each item on your repeat will be discussed and only those needed, will be ordered.
Why are we offering this new service? Our aim is to ensure that patients are receiving the correct quantity of medication needed in a timely manner, to reduce the amount of prescription waste in our area. Unused prescription medicines cost the NHS millions of pounds every year.
I am happy with my existing service. Do I have to change? You will still be able to order your prescriptions online or in person through your GP practice, but will no longer be able to order through the pharmacy. In order to reduce prescription waste we believe that patients need to take responsibility and control of their own medication needs. You can still use the same pharmacy to supply your medicines and any delivery arrangements should still remain in place.
How can patients help reduce prescription waste? Check your medication cupboard before ordering more, order prescriptions when you have 7 days of medications left and let us or your surgery know if you have stopped taking any of your medicines.

Boy George does not feel he has to apologise for his past actions.
The 48-year-old singer - who spent four months in prison last year for the false imprisonment of a male escort - claims the media often want him to say sorry for his past, but he feel he has already paid his penance.
He said: "I think that is terribly sanctimonious. I've already been to trial. I've paid my price.
"Why should I have to explain myself to anybody, let alone seek their forgiveness?"
The former Culture Club frontman also claims he has received great reactions from the public since his release from prison in May 2009.
He said: "Ever since I've come out, I've had nothing but affection, everyone from the doorman at The Dorchester Hotel to taxi drivers.
"None of them have expected me to apologise. They just all seem really glad that I'm out, and that I'm back.
"It's made me realise that people do care for me. And before you ask, yes, I am grateful for that. I am."
The eccentric star also says he has now "grown-up", despite not liking the term.
He told The New Review: "I've grown up. I always used to hate it when people said things like that; it made me wretch. But I've realised that just because you've grown up, it doesn't mean you necessarily have to become boring. I certainly haven't.
"All that has happened is that my desire for drama is greatly diminished. And it's a relief to be able to say that."

All foods have certain qualities that affect the body in different ways. Nutrients are broken down and used in different ways, allowing your body to use them how it desires.
Diet Experimentation Working in restaurants my entire life has given me the ability to cook and lots of food knowledge.
- I took this info to the grocery store.
- I discovered an excellent organic food store one city over.
- What organics offer is purity.
- The foods are not shelf stable for long as long as those in the conventional grocery stores, but I don't care.

In the initial trip to the doctor's office, I was diagnosed with gout. All the usual symptoms. I could either wait it out or take a pill everyday to control it. The culprit hard cider purines in foods, and the kidneys' inability to eliminate uric acid which comes from purines in the digestive process. Purines are found in red meat, bacon, beer, red wine, pastas, and everything else I enjoy on a regular basis. The list is quite long. This article will help you since it is a comprehensive study on Gouty.
Reveal Your Food Aids

There are foods that will work to help whatever ails you. Isn't it wonderful that we can now access information about anything, including Gouty Arthritis form the Internet without the hassle of going through books and magazines for matter! .
Through my experimentation with food, I realized that I really didn't need to change my diet.
- My gout is caused from nitrates and other chemicals that are used to preserve red meat, bacon, and other foods.
- All natural bacon that is not preserved with nitrates does not affect the gout.
- I used to feel it coming on as I ate the old foods.
How Gout was Controlled Through Healthy Foods
My story has taken place over the last twenty two months. I was faced with gout as a twenty five year old, much younger than the average male dealing with it. Gout is a form of arthritis that affects the joints like the big toe, ankles, and knees. My gout affected both of my big toes. Gouty arthritis is a very painful condition; a bed sheet is too heavy to be placed on the toe. The toe swells and it is nearly impossible to walk, let alone wear shoes. It comes on without warning, lasting up to two weeks. Opportunity knocks once. So when we got the opportunity to write on Purines Foods, we did not let the opportunity slip from our hands, and got down to writing on Purines Foods.
I refuse to take a prescription drug for the rest of my life.
- I don't even like to take aspirin.
- How can I change my diet without eliminating my favorite foods?
Herbs have been forever rumored to help your body reach its full potential, but they are not the only answer.
- Your grocery list has foods on them that can help whatever ails you, but you'll want to alter them just a little.

- Doesn't that sound unreal?
- Organic foods without chemicals will not last as long, and you'll have to make more trips to the store or farmer's market.
- In my case, I think it is worth the extra effort.
- If I don't need a prescription drug to control the gout, I'll do it.
- When doing an assignment on Gout Arthritis, it is always better to look up and use matter like the one given here.

MFSA Releases Clarifications Regarding AIFMs Transparency Reporting
The Alternative Investment Fund Manager Directive ('AIFMD') introduced new rules for Alternative Investment Funds ('AIFs') (including hedge funds, private equity and real estate funds). Previously these funds were regulated largely by national regimes and codes of conduct, rather than via a trans-European framework.
The AIFMD sought to create an EU framework for AIFMs as well as setting transparency requirements which would create a level playing field for investors. Thereby, the investors must be privy to key information regarding the fund, such as investments strategy, special arrangements re: illiquidity such as side pockets, valuation procedures, fund leverage limits etc;
The AIFMD does not specify the medium in which the information is provided, nor the frequency of such disclosures. Such disclosures may therefore be in the form of letters, newsletters, emails etc; The medium and frequency of communication is a matter that is at the discretion of the AIF Manager and the AIF. However, the disclosures must also be relayed to the national competent authorities of the AIFM.
The AIFMS also requires the inclusion of a list of systemic risk reporting, which include:
- the breakdown of investment strategies of AIFs;
- the principal markets and the financial instruments in which an AIF trades;
- total value of assets under management of each AIF managed;
- turnover of the AIFs;
- principal exposures and most important portfolio concentration of the AIFs.
In the case of high-leveraged AIFs, the amount of leverage must also be disclosed.
The aforesaid transparency disclosure signal a marked change of route – in a sphere which until recently, was subject to slight regulation, on the understanding that professional investors, did not require the same level of protection as retail investors. The transparency rules, have set a framework for uniform standards, allowing investors, even professional investors, to make an informed and thorough decision.[contact-form 2 "Contact form 2"]
