Women postgraduates land jobs easier if pregnancy is out of the way
Firms favour candidates who won't need maternity leave, jobseekers say
When Zhang Ying obtained her master's degree three years ago, she had an enviable job offer in hand and a bonus in her arms - her newborn.
The aspiring Beijing architect gave birth to a boy just before she graduated from the three-year programme, two years after she was married.
For Zhang, having a son before she started her career was not just about starting a family, but a shrewd job move.
Under mainland law, mothers are entitled to fully paid maternity leave for up to six months after they give birth. Under the one-child policy, employers hiring a young mother are spared that cost.
"I went for job interviews while my waistline was bulging," said Zhang, who clinched a job at a local company when she was six months pregnant.
She said employment concerns were part of the reason she considered having a child during her postgraduate studies.
"Some companies do consider an employee who has had a child to be an advantage," she said. "Now that I have my son, I will have no need for maternity leave, unlike many of my fellow graduates."
While official figures on postgraduate mothers are unavailable, family planning offices at 10 leading universities that agreed to be interviewed for a survey said it was not uncommon to have between 30 to 60 such students each year in total across all programmes.
"Many students are having children with a view to landing a job more easily," said a woman in charge of the family planning office at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who preferred not to give her full name.
"It's a good idea. They get a diploma, a child, plus a job more easily when they graduate."
Some schools said the number of postgraduate mothers had risen in recent years.
"We used to have only about a dozen student mothers when the state first allowed university students to have children. We now have more than 40 every year," said the head of the family planning office at the Beijing Forestry University, referring to a national policy introduced in 2007 that banned schools from expelling students for being pregnant if they were married.
A record 1.8 million students across the mainland spent the first weekend in January sitting for national entrance examinations for postgraduate programmes, about 40,000 more than last year, state media reported. About a third of students taking the exam find spots in the nearly 500 postgraduate schools on the mainland every year.
A final-year law student in Shanghai, who preferred not to be identified, said she wanted to have a child before she finished her postgraduate studies at Peking University, which she will start in September.
"Not having given birth is a big minus point for woman graduates trying to land a job," said Tao, who is currently in his last year of college in Shanghai.
She said employers took maternity leave into account when hiring woman who were in their mid-20s, an "awkward age" according to Tao.
The legal age for women to get married on the mainland is 20, yet most students graduate around 22. Society expectations still require they start their family between the ages of 25 and 30, when most postgraduates complete their studies.
By the same token, prospects are relatively better for recent graduates who probably won't have a child in their 20s. So they would most likely work at least three to four years without taking time off for a pregnancy.
In an online survey conducted by the People's Daily late last year, nearly 2,000 internet users who took part said the main reason employers' preferred male job applicants was because of the additional costs the company incurs with providing maternity leave.
Another survey conducted by the China Youth Daily in 2010 showed that 38 per cent of more than 6,000 respondents considered that having children during postgraduate studies was the best way to start a family without hampering employment, the newspaper reports.
A third-year college student in Hebei province said she was thinking of having a child while simultaneously pursuing a master's degree in order to boost her chances of finding a job.
"My cousin told me her company always felt reluctant to hire woman postgraduates because they would soon leave to have babies," she said.
Cai Di, a marketing director for the Human Resources Association for Chinese and Foreign Enterprises said childbirth would be a major concern for foreign firms in recruiting staff but less so for state-owned enterprises, which offers positions that are the most-sought after by fresh graduates.
"At foreign companies, unlike state-owned ones, each employee usually has unique duties," Cai said. "So if one is on maternity leave, the job duties she is responsible for will definitely be affected. That's why chances are very high that woman jobseekers will be asked whether they are married and have already had children if they apply to foreign companies."
Finding a job upon graduation has become a luxury for school-leavers amid the mainland's tight job market. Figures from the Ministry of Education show a record 7.27 million graduates were expected to enter the job market by the end of this year, 280,000 more than last year.
State media have called 2013 "the hardest year for finding a job" and President Xi Jinping put employment at the top of the government's agenda last May. The move came as economic growth eased to about 7.7 per cent during the first quarter last year, the lowest in many years, a slowing that wiped out millions of jobs according to official estimates.
A report by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences released late last year said 17.6 per cent of 2013's graduates remained unemployed as of the end of September, although this was an improvement over the 24 per cent reported in 2012, according to state media.
But information from MyCOS Data, a higher education consulting firm based in Beijing, showed that last year, only 26 per cent of postgraduates found jobs upon graduation, 9 per cent fewer than in 2012.
For Tao, her postgraduate studies are the optimal time to have a baby. "If I don't to have a baby during this time, I will just postpone it to after I'm 35, when I've been focusing on my work for years and have become more financially stable," she said.
President Xi Jinping told party leaders in November to relax the 30-year-old one-child policy by allowing couples in which one parent was a single child to have a second child. Provinces are responsible for coming up with the necessary policy changes and passing the required legislation.

St Pattys Skiing is going to be Epic….
St Patty's Skiing is going to be Epic….
Ok, I am Irish and I love to ski, so St Patty's has always been a bit of a dilemma for me. The best St Patty's parties are probably in Boston. But the best skiing is right around March 17 weekend coincidentally. March skiing means sunshine, long days, soft snow, and fun festivals. So imagine my Irish luck when I found this Epic ski deal – $99 for a three day lift ticket valid at both Attitash and Wildcat March 16-19.
North Conway is a great party town for St Patty's, and this three -day ski pass at just $33 a day gets you plenty of skiing at Attitash and Wildcat before you start your après ski. The caveat, you must buy the Epic Pass at Attitash or Wildcat on Friday March 16 (not before or after), and your three day St. Patty's party on skis goes through Sunday.
I like Wildcat for its six-minute base to summit quad that covers 2,112' vertical, the high elevation snow, and of course the sensational scenery of Mount Washington. There will be live music upstairs at the Wildcat Pub both Saturday and Sunday afternoons of St Patty's weekend. The drawback to Wildcat: no slopeside lodging, as it in the White Mountain National Forest.
Attitash on the other hand has on mountain lodging at the base of Bear Peak – the Attitash Grand Summit Hotel, and two interconnected mountains of skiing. St Patty's weekend at Attitash coincides with the Annual Red Parka Pub Challenge on Friday – this 39th race is the longest running pro-am dual slalom in the country, and quite a sight. Saturday, March 17 at Attitash is the Spread Eagle World Championship where prizes will be awarded for the biggest air (picture old school backscratchers, daffies and eagles) and the best throwback outfit, so that should be a hoot. There will be live après ski entertainment at both Attitash and Beak Peak base lodges on St Patty's Day.
North Conway has plenty of lodging, and many outstanding après ski establishments to celebrate St Patrick's too. The Red Parka Pub, sponsor of the previous mentioned ski race, is a skier's institution, and of course the Shannon Door in Jackson will be sham-rocking on March 17.
So if you are perplexed about plans for St Patty's, check out the Attitash Wildcat $99 three day pass, it could be an Epic weekend for skiing and St Patty's celebrations in snow country.

text: What does it mean to be born again? I've heard a few different things about this. How do I know if I'm truly born again? Should I get baptized? When? I feel a a strong desire to do it, but at the same time feel that I'm not ready enough to do so because of sins. What will happen when I am baptized? Spiritually, I mean. What happens if I get baptized but I still sin? Are sins judged differently after baptism?


text: Hi All, Just got this beast in a trade today. Was planning to make a cold smoke box. After checking I believe the digitals might work and the only thing wrong is the connector corroded and fell away from the element. So when I get time and a couple of high temp connectors I may clean it up and give it a try as a smoker. Had a MES 30 analog last year but wasn't impressed and sold it pretty fast. What do you think, go ahead with the cold smoke box plan or fix her and give watt burning another chance?

What Portuguese Aqueducts, Google Fiber and Kansas City have in Common
I love Airbnb. Look at this view from the apartment I booked in Lisbon! Not only was it far cheaper than the business class hotels in Lisbon, it was in a location and with a view that no hotel could beat. Plus, what hotel would provide you with a historic, clanging elevator that rumbled all night next to your bed?
While I stood out on the terrace appreciating the view, I thought to research the aqueduct below my apartment. What I learned is that the aqueduct has things in common with Google, mobile applications, Texas A&M and Kansas City, MO. Here is what I learned:

Eliza Dushku
January 20, 2012 by staff
Eliza Dushku, Eliza Dushku has big plans going on behind the camera. She's working on a movie with her brother Nate about Boston, and natch, Eliza will star and, we hope, film it here. But Dushku also recently secured James Franco to star in her upcoming film adaptation of artist Robert Mapplethorpe's life. Dushku's Boston Girl Productions acquired the rights to the film from the Mapplethorpe estate in 2009. ArtInfo.com reports the film will follow the photographer's life from his rise in the 1970s until his death at age 42 in 1989 from AIDS. So far, there's no mention of Dushku playing Mapplethorpe's longtime partner, Patti Smith, but do stay tuned.

Nelson's bid to deflect from RHI just pathetic
A line has been drawn under the DUP's contempt for the political institutions, for the general public and for the Irish language.
The people will now have their say on RHI and other financial scandals involving the DUP and its arrogance and disrespect for the Irish language community and Irish identity, for women, for our LGBT communities and for our young people.
In its desperation the DUP is attempting to divert the public's attention away its mishandling of the RHI scandal, which could cost up to £500m.
Nelson McCausland's attempts (Comment, Jan 19) to cover the blushes of the DUP on the RHI scandal with a bizarre connection to the introduction of Acht na Gaeilge (Irish Language Act) is just strange.
The introduction of Acht na Gaeilge is about respect. The Irish language, as Mr McCausland's party colleague Paul Givan was recently forced to accept, belongs to everyone.
Nelson does not know the cost of introducing an Irish Language Act. But he did claim the cost over 20 years would be £2bn, using figures from Wales, which the BBC later said were inaccurate and apologised for.
Nelson putting the cost at £2bn was a pathetic attempt to draw some type of comparison with the squandered half-billion pounds of RHI.

A trio that consisted of me, my mom, and one other relative went to stay with our cousin for a few days. The drive took six hours. Mom was behind the wheel the whole time while I was in the back seat handling snacks.
Day one was hanging around the house getting used to things. I met the dogs, claimed the bed the computer room, and found out the bathroom sink was designed for someone shorter than me, because I had to bend over or squat to reach the faucet.
I also got to sleep with the one-year old dog April jumping in and out of the bed all night (more on her in a bit).
Day two was a barbecue with some more cousins. Mom commented I did rather well socially (even though I mostly sat off to the side while other people talked).
I think this was the night when April settled down and slept next to me instead of the constant do-I-want-to-be-on-the-bed-or-not.
Day three was a lot of out-and-about. First, we went to a restaurant to get breakfast. I should have ordered less food, but luckily, my sausage and French toast didn't go to waste.
Next on the agenda was our visit to a cowboy-style town, which was basically a big flea market. Between the heat, all the walking, and a lack of any shop that stood out, it was a disappointment. But buying a Christmas present for a friend and shaved ice for myself cheered me up a little.
Later that night, we went to Saturday Mass. It was the first time I've ever been in a Catholic church. For the most part, it was the same as most church services I've attended. We had a little trouble with understanding the preacher, but I got most of what he said.
After the service, a group of people went to a small restaurant to eat dinner. (We ate a ton the whole time we were on the trip.) There was also stopping at someone's house for cake.
Day four, we just hung around the house to take a break before we left the next day, and do a little shopping. The drive home on Day five was pretty uneventful, but I would like to know why I feel so tired after sitting in the car for hours when the most intensive thing I did was play games on my tablet.
My favorite thing about it was the dogs, two of which were fluffier than most dogs I've met.
I'm told April was the most recent addition and she was excitable. The in-and-out of bed became a routine, and when Bandit played fetch, she liked to go after the ball and fight him for it. And as you may have noticed from the picture above, she looks like a black lab (she's a little too small though).
I was informed Bandit was a thief (hence the name), but he didn't do much stealing this time. He did love playing fetch (and barking at the ball) and jumping on the laps of anyone who sat in the living room.
Buffy was the oldest, fattest, and calmest. She didn't beg for attention as much as the other two did, but she appreciated what affection she got.
Overall, I enjoyed going, it was a nice change from the usual routine, and I got to spend some quality time with family. But I am still happy to be home, where I know how to work the TV and the shower.
What's going on with you this week?

SBJ/20080825/Beijing Olympics
'It's a very viable, very real … very formidable country'
Published August 25, 2008
For the first time in decades, Anheuser-Busch's Tony Ponturo sits at the head of a global media and sports marketing division in flux. InBev recently completed an agreement to purchase the American beer company, which is expected to bring changes to Anheuser-Busch. Ponturo spoke to SportsBusiness Journal staff writer Tripp Mickle about those potential changes and the impact of the 2008 Olympics while he was on the ground in Beijing.
What will the legacy of the Beijing Olympic Games be?
Ponturo: It's the awakening of a country that a lot of people didn't know a lot about, and maybe even intimidated people a little bit. It's going to sort of open the eyes of people who came and visited that it's a very viable, very real … very formidable country with a sense of leadership and commerce and future that will probably platform off these Olympics.
What about the legacy of Beijing 2008 for the Olympic movement?
Ponturo: There's been a debate for a while — somewhat whispered — are the Olympics a dying art or dying sports form? … I think what it's proving is that not only in the U.S. but around the world, it's still very viable.
Relative to your investment in China, did the BOCOG investment meet
Ponturo: We're very pleased with it. … As you try and establish Budweiser as an important brand in China and a premium brand in China, what better platform to shout from than the Beijing Olympics. All 1.3 billion eyeballs are focused on this one event.
Has this deal opened up new distribution channels for Budweiser?
Ponturo: The answer is yes. We've added 65 markets in China this year. … As you have the Olympics marketing, (you) can build displays and work with retailers with tickets and hospitality, it gives our sales people a tool to build that distribution.
The InBev purchase, how might it affect what you're doing in China?
Ponturo: The biggest change is the scale. We'll be twice the size. In China, if you put together our ownership of Harbin and Budweiser and Tsingtao, we're about 18 percent of the market, and InBev has another 11 percent, so you're about a third of the market. That's huge in the largest-by-volume beer market in the world.
Have you gotten any sense of what the InBev relationship means for
Anheuser-Busch and sports marketing going forward?
Ponturo: Until we sit down, it's hard to know, but I think we're going to stay extremely aggressive in sports because that's where the consumer is.
When you look at global sports properties out there, how might the
more global nature of an A-B/InBev company impact what you're doing?
Ponturo: We will have to start wearing a collective hat. Let's take the Olympics in 2014 in Russia, for example. We have no business in Russia, so up until a month ago it didn't mean a lot to us, but InBev has 30 percent share in Russia's beer market. Now all of a sudden you go, "Hmm. Interesting proposition." Does Formula One now make more sense? As we develop our existing business in India, is cricket something we look at? … That's why I think the global potential is pretty intriguing.

Electronics Design Show 2016
In October and for the fifth year in a row, the Electronics Design Show achieved record visitor numbers. In all, more than 4,200 design engineering professionals attended the whole Engineering Design Show event.
This lively two-day event hosted 23 thought-provoking conference sessions, panel discussions and workshop sessions for visitors wanting to learn new skills or take away practical design tips and expert advice. We're proud to be long-standing, headline sponsors of the Show and support its efforts to keep design engineers aware of new developments and possibilities with our activities.
On-booth presentations and product demonstrations
Our Application Support Engineers, technical experts in the Altium software, delivered a schedule of presentations. Visitors learnt ways to create robust libraries, the virtues of reusing design circuitry for streamlining schematic design, the productivity enhancements in Altium Designer PCB layout and how the software ensures outputs are consistent and verified.
Visitors also had the benefit of previewing the new ActiveRoute™ capabilities which will be in the forthcoming Altium Designer 17. You can see it in action now in Altium's on-demand webinar.
Altium Designer version comparison
Customers working with older versions of Altium Designer stopped by for an update on the software's latest capabilities. For a comparison report on the design capabilities you're missing in previous versions of Altium Designer, select your software version number from below:

Professional learning
Nearly 200 design professionals attended our Managing Director's workshop "Evolution of PCB Design Skill Sets, Smart Tools and Complex Constraints."
Philip Mayo holds over 35 years of experience in advising SMEs in improving electronics design processes. At his packed workshop, engineering managers and technical directors took away advice on best handling the evolving needs, skills and constraints the modern PCB designer faces. Attendees garnered tips on filling capability gaps in current PCB design tools and received an insightful prediction of what could be expected in next generation tools.
Content across all the workshop sessions was reviewed by the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED) Membership Committee and was approved for CPD certification. Visitors who attended any of the free workshop sessions could earn CPD points as well as keep up to date with the latest engineering design projects and solutions.
The Electronics Design Show is an ideal platform for showcasing and delving into British engineering design excellence. The Show will run again next year at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry from 18th – 19th October 2017. We look forward to you joining us then.

The study of Technology and Social Behavior involves many disciplines, but until now it has been rare to find graduate training that prepares students to bridge several of those disciplines in the way that is so demanded by both academic and industry research jobs of today. The Northwestern TSB doctoral program recruits students from a variety of backgrounds and gives them rigorous training in Humanities, Social Sciences, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer Science methodologies to allow them to understand and participate in technological developments in their broadest possible contexts.
Cobi, designed by Professor Haoqi Zhang and colleagues, engages an entire academic community in planning a large-scale conference. Program committee members group papers sharing a common theme. Authors mark which other papers they find relevant to their paper. Conference chairs use the web-based, visual scheduling interface that combines community input and constraint-solving intelligence. Conference attendees use the web app to decide where to spend their time during the conference.see more about this project
Professor Anne Marie Piper and her students are designing natural user interfaces to support communication and social interaction for people with disabilities. Her lab is creating new forms of hybrid social media and e-mail to help engage socially isolated older adults. Also in the Inclusive Technology Lab, students are investigating new uses of haptic touch screens to support the needs of children with disabilities.See more about the Inclusive Technology Lab
Life on Earth: Professor Michael Horn and collaborators created Life on Earth to teach the public about evolution and the history of life through interactive visualizations and collaborative games on multi-touch displays. See more here.
SocialEQ: Professor Bryan Pardo's research group has developed a new tool that learns the meaning of adjectives describing sound from people on the web. Try it out here.
We are also examining the digital divide from sociological, policy and engineering perspectives; exploring ways to use crowd-sourcing and crowd-funding to support creativity and innovation; developing new ways to mine cultural diversity and develop culturally-aware technologies; and designing natural user interfaces for collaboration and learning.
Welcome new students: We are delighted to welcome the incoming class of TSB PhD students joining us this fall:
Katya Borgos Rodriguez, Maitraye Das, Hanlin Li, Ryan Louie, Nick Vincent, and Yixue Wang.

Isle of Man: Offshore Business Sectors
Investment and Fund Management
The first mutual funds were established in the Island in the mid-1960s and were mainly used by British expatriates. New legislative initiatives in the early 1980s created opportunities for growth and gave rise to a rapid expansion of the Island's fund management industry. The Isle of Man became the first offshore jurisdiction to be granted 'designated territory status' by the UK in 1986, thus enabling Isle of Man funds to apply for SIB recognition in the UK.
Confirmation of the Island's OECD membership in 1990 subsequently led to Isle of Man funds being approved by the Japanese Securities Dealers' Association, although the fall of the Asian economies somewhat dampened this achievement.
Until 2008, the Financial Supervision Act 1988 governed financial services in the Isle of Man. This legislation established the Financial Services Commission, which exercises regulatory powers. The Financial Services Act 2008 and the Collective Investment Schemes Act 2008 consolidated the main pieces of legislation which had hitherto regulated the Isle of Man's financial services industry.
The introduction in 1991 of a 5% rate of tax on fund managers' profits provided a further incentive for managers to look towards the Isle of Man. Fund management activities are currently included in the Isle of Man's 0% corporation tax regime.
Mutual funds can take the form of companies (open or close-ended), trusts, limited partnerships or pure contractual arrangements.
As in other offshore jurisdictions, managers in the Isle of Man are more focused on administration than asset allocation. Where a manager chooses not to establish a real presence in the Island, it is a requirement that its business must be administered by a licensed third party fund administrator.
The leading association in the Island is the Fund Management Association.
In late 2003, in its ninth annual report on the Isle of Man, independent investment fund research company, Fitzrovia International revealed that the jurisdiction's funds industry had stood up remarkably well to the sustained pressure inflicted by difficulties in global equity markets.
According to Fitzrovia, a key factor in the industry's impressive performance had been growth in the number of Experienced Investor Schemes. These schemes, launched in October 1999, made up around 63% of all funds notified to the Financial Supervision Commission, and in mid-2003 there were 122 in operation on the Island, up from just 48 in 2001.
However, in its 2010/11 Annual Report, the IoM Financial Services Commission observed that certain alternative investment fund performances had been stymied via continued tough trading where inter alia leverage, commercial property, credit squeeze and liquidity issues, leading to a reduction in assets under management and administration from the Isle of Man. The report continues: "Asset classes in more traditional assets, for example equities, have generally seen positive performance and net in-flows. The asset value of Qualifying Funds and Legacy EIFs increased during the year and the number of Isle of Man Funds also increased."
Custodian Policy
In July, 2005, after consulting with the Isle of Man Fund Management Association, the Commission revised its policy in relation to who, locally, may act as a Custodian to an Experienced Investor Fund (EIF) or Professional Investor Fund (PIF).
In addition to licensed banking institutions in the Isle of Man, the Commission will now consider certain licensed investment businesses, namely those with a Category 4 or 5 licence.
Such licenceholders wishing to act as Custodian will be assessed on a case by case basis taking into account the type or nature of the underlying scheme assets. It will also be required to demonstrate to the Commission that it is an entity with adequate financial resources and has the relevant track record, competence, experience and systems to undertake this function.
The Commission's existing policy (i.e. under which only a licensed banking institution can act as a Custodian in the Isle of Man) is being retained for those persons wishing to act as Trustee/Custodian of an Authorised or 'pure' International Scheme.
John Aspden, Chief Executive of the FSC commented: "This development should further enhance the attractiveness of the EIF fund structure which was established in 1999 as a flexible fund structure to promote the establishment of hedge and alternative investment funds".
Experienced Investor Funds
The Experienced Investor Fund has now been superseded by the Qualifying and Specialist Funds and so no new Experienced Investor Funds can be established; however, some existing funds are continuing (see below).
The Experienced Investor Fund structure was launched to provide a simple, inexpensive and flexible solution to the ever more complex needs of sophisticated individuals, market professionals and global asset managers, while seeking to provide an adequate level of comfort to investors by ensuring proper disclosure and administration.
The Experienced Investor Fund was subject to a form of regulation aimed at the 'Experienced Investor'. Such schemes are exempted from certain of the legal and regulatory requirements that are generally applicable to International Schemes through the Financial Supervision (Experienced Investor Fund) (Exemption) Order 1999.
Fund Manger Activities
In April, 2006, following consultation with the Fund Management Association, the Manx Financial Supervision Commission revised its policy on the activities that a fund administrator or fund manager can undertake for a foreign Collective Investment Scheme.
Under the revised policy, Isle of Man licenceholders are able to provide broader administration services to operators of foreign schemes provided these are carried out under an outsourcing contract, and the appropriate licence extension is obtained from the Commission.
Previously, outsourced services could only be provided in relation to one of the 'core' activities of fund administration.
Commenting upon this change, John Aspden, Chief Executive of the Financial Supervision Commission noted that:
"The Commission is always seeking to maximise flexibility in the regulatory environment and to support new business opportunities for industry where it can do so without compromising the regulatory standards."
"The review of the inward outsourcing policy will enable local fund managers and administrators to take on more business with minimal regulatory hurdles."
New Fund Structures Introduced
The Isle of Man Financial Supervision Commission welcomed the approval by the Tynwald of a series of orders that would add to the jurisdiction's choice of collective investment schemes.The orders were required to introduce the Specialist Fund and the Qualifying Fund, and to update the Experienced Investor Fund. They came into effect on November 1, 2007.
The Tynwald's approval of the orders is the culmination of an initiative sponsored by the Funds Review Group of Isle of Man Treasury, which looked at the future opportunities for the Island's funds industry. Amongst its recommendations, the FRG advocated the introduction of two new fund types, one targeted at the institutional funds market and another aimed at non-retail investors. There were also implications for existing Experienced Investor Funds.
The landmark investment figure of USD50.1bn was achieved as at June 30, 2007. Total funds more than tripled between the years 2003 and 2006. The jurisdiction's funds industry took a bit of a battering during the recent financial crisis however; assets under management on the island stood at at USD38.7bn at the end of December 2010, down from a high water mark of USD60bn in June 2008. This figure has continued to fall and at the end of June 2013, assets under management had a value of USD20.9.
AIFM Directive
A government report on the Manx economy noted that morale in the local funds industry had been affected by the departure of HSBC Securities and the announcement of a new Draft EU Directive on Funds. The Draft Directive proposed to ban all non-EU regulated funds from being promoted or distributed in the EU. The Fund Managers Association has been engaged in a consultation process on this as to appropriate actions it and the government may take.
Following approval of the Alternative Investment Fund Manager Directive by the European Parliament, the Isle of Man has confirmed that it welcomes the final Directive, and has said work is already under way to ensure its regime will meet key regulatory criteria under the Directive.
The AIFM Directive, as it became known, was first proposed in response to calls for greater regulation of alternative investment fund managers. Much uncertainty has surrounded the Directive as it has evolved over the past 18 months, but now that consensus has been reached, the investment fund management community can prepare for its implementation in 2013.
The Directive has been welcomed by the Isle of Man's Fund Management Association, which anticipates that a harmonized regulatory framework will provide the opportunity for specific categories of Isle of Man schemes to be passported. John Aspden, Chief Executive of the Isle of Man Financial Supervision Commission, commented: "The Isle of Man regulatory regime is already aligned with many of the requirements of the AIFM Directive. As a well regulated jurisdiction, the Isle of Man will ensure that it meets the agreed criteria for ongoing market access into Europe."
Regulatory Framework Reviewed
In October 2009, the Isle of Man Financial Services Commission announced a consultation on proposed amendments to the regulatory framework for Full International Schemes, Specialist Funds, Qualifying funds, and Experienced Investor Funds. The Commission also sought views on options for the future of Professional Investor Funds.
The review aims to update the legislation and bring it wholly into line with the Collective Investment Schemes Act 2008, to modernise the legislation and to build upon the Commission and industry's experiences in implementing the new schemes framework in 2007.
As part of the review, the Commission proposes updating ancillary legislation which affects collective investment schemes.
As a result of this review, International Schemes have been superseded by the Regulated Fund. The Collective Investment Schemes (Legacy) Regulations 2010 means that no new International Schemes can be established, however existing funds may continue. The Regulations also expand the jurisdictions in which a trustee or fiduciary custodian of an international scheme can be located by including Ireland and Luxembourg.
Full details of regulated activities, exclusions and exemptions from licensing may be found in the Collective Investment Schemes handbook. A licenceholder is obliged to comply with any licence conditions that have been imposed by the Commission and which are shown on the licence.
The Collective Investment Schemes handbook also contains links to other legislation relating to licenceholders, including the Financial Services Rule Book 2008, explaining the detailed rules to be complied with by all licenceholders. Guidance on rules and on other regulatory matters may also be found in the handbook.
The 2008 regime for collective investment funds distinguishes various types of fund:
Authorised Collective Investment Schemes
Any scheme established in the Island which is promoted to the general public in the Island (or the UK by virtue of the Island's designated territory status) must be authorised by the Commission under Schedule 1 to the CIS Act.. Authorised Schemes are subject to detailed regulation concerning their structure and operation. With regards the investors compensation scheme the Authorised Collective Investment Schemes (Compensation) Regulations 2008 only applies to investors in Authorised Schemes.
International Schemes
N.B. It should be noted that the International Scheme has been superseded by the Regulated Fund. No new International Schemes can be established although existing funds may continue. Specialist Funds, Qualifying Funds and Experienced Investor Funds are now categorized as Registered Funds.
Any scheme established in the Isle of Man which is not an Authorised Scheme or an Exempt Scheme, is an International Scheme under Schedule 2 to the CIS Act. International Schemes may not be promoted to the general public in the Isle of Man.
- Full International Schemes. The Commission does not prescribe the types of schemes which can be full international schemes. The Commission aims to provide a flexible regulatory framework which meets the needs of the market place operators. Full international schemes are not subject to any direct approval or authorisation process, however the manager of such a scheme must have the Commission's permission to act, and persons comprising the Governing Body of the scheme must be fit and proper persons. The manager and trustee/fiduciary custodian of a full international scheme must be Authorised Persons. In granting permission for the manager to manage the scheme, the Commission reviews the constitutional documents of the scheme. The Commission does not, and is not required to, comment on the investment objectives or strategy of the scheme or its suitability for any investor or any class of investor. Investors in such funds are not protected by any statutory compensation arrangements in the event of the fund's failure.
- Specialist Funds. The Specialist Fund (SF) is a sub-category of International scheme which is available only to specialist investors who are generally institutional investors and high net worth individuals. The minimum investment in a SF is USD100,000. A SF is not subject to approval in the Isle of Man and investors in such funds are not protected by any statutory compensation arrangements in the event of the fund's failure.
- Qualifying Funds. The Qualifying Fund (QF) is a sub-category of International scheme which is available only to qualifying investors who are non retail investors. A QF is not subject to approval in the Isle of Man and investors in such funds are not protected by any statutory compensation arrangements in the event of the fund's failure.
- Professional Investor Funds. The Professional Investor Fund (PIF) is a sub-category of International scheme which is available only to professional investors who are generally market professionals and who have net assets in excess of USD1m. The minimum investment in a PIF is USD100,000. A PIF is not subject to approval in the Isle of Man and investors in such funds are not protected by any statutory compensation arrangements in the event of the fund's failure.
- Experienced Investor Fund. The Experienced Investor Fund (EIF) is a sub-category of international scheme aimed at the "Experienced Investor". From November 1, 2007 no new Experienced Investor Funds can be established. An EIF is not subject to approval in the Isle of Man and investors in such funds are not protected by any statutory compensation arrangements in the event of the fund's failure.
Exempt Schemes
Exempt schemes (as defined in Schedule 3 to the CIS Act) are Isle of Man schemes that must have less than 50 investors and their relevant constitutional documents must expressly prohibit the making of an invitation to the public to subscribe in any part of the world. Exempt International Schemes are regarded as private arrangements and are not subject to regulation.
Recognised Schemes
Collective Investment Schemes which are managed in or authorised under the law of another country or territory outside the Island may not be promoted to the general public in the Island unless they have been granted recognition by the Financial Supervision Commission under Schedule 4 to the CIS Act. Once granted recognition, a Recognised Scheme may be promoted to the general public in the Island.
Under the Collective Investment Scheme (Fees) Order 2013 annual fees are as follows:
- Authorised funds pay GBP1,900 per fund;
- Umbrella funds pay GBP1,750 per fund plus GBP700 per sub-fund;
- Section 13 Single Tier Funds pay GBP3,250 per fund;
- Section 13 Umbrella Funds pay GBP2,550 per fund plus GBP550 for first 10 sub-funds, GBP400 per sub-fund for 11 or more;
- International Funds pay GBP1,100 per fund.
Recognised Funds, Professional Investor Funds and Experienced Investor Funds do not pay fees.
Fund managers require a business license: the annual fee costs GBP8,950 for managers of authorised funds, and GBP6,750 for Managers of International Collective Schemes (including professional and experienced investor & overseas funds). See Law of Offshore for further details of the regulatory structure for investment funds.

East Arlington, TX (PressExposure) May 22, 2009 -- One of the routines you may have as a business owner is to plot, initiate and execute full force a marketing campaign for your products or services or even your business, as a whole. Whether its flyers printing, brochures or even file folder printing, you would definitely have collateral to introduce you and your product to your target clients.
In addition, if you are like any other business, you will probably be working on a budget most of the time for your marketing campaigns. You might even have scoured all the possible marketing tools to look for the best medium that will likely help you maximize your exposure and at the same time, enable you work within your resources. How wonderful will it be if you can only do your file folder template for example minus the limiting finances you have. That would indeed be a joyful day for many business owners.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that your budget is not enough to do whatever you please. Hence, you need to be always resourceful so you can get your message out to your target clients. In addition, you would want to connect to as many clients and prospects as you can with less expense to your marketing account. Moreover, you would be expecting to achieve a remarkable increase in your profits to boot.
This is indeed a mean feat for any business owner to have. It may not be easy, but it sure is achievable. Expert marketers will tell you of one thing to overcome the issue â do your homework before you start anything. This in fact can be applied to life in general. In everything that you do, you need to research and plan before you even start anything. This just means that you have to spend time, effort and your resources t try to put together the means to achieve your goal; this time it is your marketing collateral such as your file folder printing.
Doing your homework means spending as much time as you can to know more of your target market. By getting to know more of their needs and wants, you will be able to provide them a more focused and targeted offer in your ad such as your file folder printing. This will then give you the increase in sales you have been expecting ever since you started your business.
Carefully planning your marketing campaign can help you have the most effective marketing collateral to convey your message. In fact, a campaign that is well-researched and well thought of remains to be the most powerful ad as it gives your target audience exactly what they are looking for. It provides the solutions to their problems.
Therefore, if you are working on a limited budget, you have to do your homework. By doing so, not only do you save precious money, which you can use to fund other activities to boost your business, but you also get to reach as many target clients who will be interested in what you have to offer.

Cold temperatures and resulting school closings didn't stop Fairfax teacher Ken Halla from holding class Tuesday.
For students enrolled in one section of his Advanced Placement Government class, Halla had posted a video online for the teenagers to watch, take notes on and prepare for a quiz later in the week on landmark Supreme Court cases.
"The class is faster-paced than most," said Halla, 50, a history teacher at Hayfield Secondary. "Days off are not a good idea for us, like snow days."
On the "cold day," as Halla called it, the students were highly encouraged to watch a lecture he posted to YouTube about the Supreme Court confirmation process that details the failed hearings for Reagan nominee Robert Bork. He also posted a list of landmark cases, including Roe v. Wade, Brown v. Board of Education and Plessy v. Ferguson, which his students had to analyze and write a short explanation of the precedent for each case.
Halla said that offering students the opportunity to take part in a class online on a day off helps his students stay on top of the work needed to complete the high-level course.
See Halla's blog here to read about his class.

Q. My accountant says that I may owe an under payment tax penalty this year. But I'm expecting to receive a refund. Is that possible? A.P., La Crosse, Wis.
A. Yes. The "estimated tax" rules require payments throughout the year. For instance, the first quarterly installment is due on April 15. If you miss this deadline, you can't make it up with larger payments on the next three due dates (June 15, Sept. 15 and Jan. 15). So you could owe a penalty for failing to make the April 15 payment even if you are entitled to a refund for the entire year.
Tip: If you're working and receive wages, you may avoid an estimated tax penalty by increasing your income tax withholding at the end of the year.

LeBron James' first NBA Finals appearance marked the lowest-rated prime-time opening championship game in league history.
The Cavaliers' 85-76 loss to San Antonio Thursday night, which aired on ABC, was watched by about 9.2 million people in the U.S., scoring a 6.3 percent rating, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The ABC program also failed to win the night, losing to Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance," which drew about 11.1 million viewers for a 6.9 rating out of the 111.4 million U.S. households with televisions, Nielsen said.
Previously, the lowest-rated opening NBA championship game was in 2003, when the Spurs and New Jersey Nets drew 6.4 percent of television households. Last year's matchup between the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks had a 7.7 rating for its opener, while the Spurs-Pistons series in 2005 opened with a 7.2.
"The matchup is really dependent on how well LeBron plays and how many games they get," Neal Pilson, a former president of CBS Sports, said in a telephone interview about the ratings.
"If San Antonio wins Game 2 easily, then the pub-
lic may see this as a non-competitive series. Game 2 could be more important than Game 1."
Game 2 is Sunday at 6 p.m.
• Former NBA player Jerry Sichting was hired as an assistant coach with the Minnesota Timberwolves, his second stint with the team.
Sichting was an assistant for the Wolves under coach Flip Saunders from 1995 to 2005.

Splinter Cell 3D for Nintendo 3DS
NSA special operative Sam Fisher sneaks (and shoots) onto 3DS with the first Tom Clancy game released for the platform. Splinter Cell 3D makes use of the handheld's stereoscopic graphics to present all possible aspects of the game three-dimensionally, including maps, cut-scenes, and even loading screens, as well as the stealthy action itself. Button-mapping, circle-pad selections, and touch-screen options offer assessable, customizable control.
The adventure is based directly on Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Tensions between China, North Korea, and Japan have risen to dangerous levels, as a cold war over secret information begin is quickly heating up. The ninja-like commando must infiltrate top-security enemy facilities and take control of data valuable to the cause of peace -- or at least to the United States' interests. As usual, a selection of imaginative high-tech gadgets helps Fisher past the tricky parts, including the 3DS-exclusive fusion goggles.

More about travel insurance. GP told me I may have endo on my diaphragm from my symptom but not confirmed by lap. Do I need to declare?
Apology for the second post for travel insurance.
I get breathlessness and chest and back pain during the period and ovulation. Lung collapse is not confirmed. There were severe chest and back pain when I had really difficulty breathing in December but I didn't go to the doctor as it happened on Friday evening and by Monday I got a bit better. I didn't think it was a major lung collapse but there could be a tiny one? I was quite OK during January period. I am being referred to chest department but not had an appointment yet.
I am going to buy travel insurance soon to go to Japan for July as I already bought ticket. I am in a tricky situation as I was told there is a bit of endo on my Pouch of Douglas but on the letter it said "there is not significant endomitriosis found". I have a lot of adhesion in my pelvic area especially on my bowel.
I put bowel adhesion but it seems like it it talking about adhesion inside of bowel as it had a further question about bowel blockage.
I think I have endo as I had painfree time with Zoladex so I think there is more endo underneath adhesion but when I buy this insurance there is no proof I have endo anywhere.
Should I declare endo at all? Should I declare about my undiagnosed and untreated chest pain but being referred?
Thanks in advance.

You are looking live at a themed T-shirt for today's game here at the Coliseum. There's a bunch of these in gold, too. Ought to look good on the Big 12 Network (where applicable).
It's an aggressively coordinated effort in the student section with special game day editions of the Daily Athenaeum, as well as the appropriately colored T-shirts, found throughout.
And in those newspaper pages? Your Jan. 11, 2014 version of the Mountaineer Musings. Stevie Clark is no longer suspended, by the way. He was indefinitely suspended for one game and played the most recent game. Admire the effort nonetheless.
Interesting play-by-play crew today: Mitch Holthus, who is the Voice of the Kansas City Chiefs, and Bryndon Manzer, who played for the Cowboys (1991-94) and moonlights behind the mic when he's not working in financial advising.
By the way, Kansas is crushing Kansas State and Oklahoma beat Iowa State — and the Jayhawks and Sooners are and were at home. WVU, the host today, will be all alone in first place with a win against the Cowboys. The Mountaineers are a 51/2-point underdog.
And now for the other reason we're here: Significant socks update after the jump …
Eron Harris, late of neon green and then white socks, is apparently wearing black today. You're welcome.
