BRICs lose weight in MSCI index
August 21, 2006
Haresh Soneji , TNN
Slowly but steadily, the much-hyped BRIC (Brazil, Russia, China and India) nations appear to be losing their sheen compared with other emerging market economies. A pointer in this direction is the reduced weightages for these countries in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) emerging market index. At the end of September '05, these countries cumulatively had a 35.2% weightage in the MSCI Emerging Market index. That has now shrunk by roughly 15% to 29.9% BRIC economies'...
Brazil's political crisis will test BRICS capability: China
June 13, 2016
BEIJING: Brazil's interim President Michel Temer's major policy shift has posed a test to the capability of BRICS as the new government has relegated cooperation with the five-nation bloc to "secondary place", Chinese state media said today.

BRICs nations shift in growth pattern

Mythili Bhusnurmath , ET Bureau
In 2000 when Goldman Sachs clubbed Brazil and Russia together with India and China as the BRIC economies that collectively represented the emerging world economic (and political?) order, China and India were clearly the poster boys. Brazil and Russia were seen as also-rans. Both had a history of economic instability, and in the case of Russia at least, dodgy politics. Today things could not be more different. While the broad picture presented by Goldman Sachs, that...

While all the four countries have seen a sharp rise in their currencies against the US dollar, the pace of rupee appreciation is only next to Brazilian real since the beginning of this year. Rupee has appreciated 11 per cent from Rs...
Will BRIC lead the world economy?
June 15, 2005
Debiprasad Nayak , INDIATIMES NEWS NETWORK
Recently international bank loans recorded one of the strongest growths in three of the four BRIC economies, according to the latest report released by the World Bank. While it doubled in India from $3.5 bn in 2003 to $7 bn in 2004, in Russia it went up from $4.9 bn to $8.2 bn during the period. In Brazil it also more than doubled from $3.8 bn to $8.9 bn. According to investment banker Goldman Sachs, over the next 50 years, the BRIC economies could become a much larger force in the world economy.

Turgor pressure provides a sensitive indicator for irrigation scheduling. Leaf turgor pressure of Musa acuminate was measured by using the so-called leaf patch clamp pressure probe, i.e. by application of an external, magnetically generated and constantly retained clamp pressure to a leaf patch and determination of the attenuated output pressure Pp that is highly correlated with the turgor pressure. Real-time recording of Pp values was made using wireless telemetric transmitters, which send the data to a receiver base station where data are logged and transferred to a GPRS modem linked to an Internet server. Probes functioned over several months under field and laboratory conditions without damage to the leaf patch. Measurements showed that the magnetic-based probe could monitor very sensitively changes in turgor pressure induced by changes in microclimate (temperature, relative humidity, irradiation and wind) and irrigation. Irrigation effects could clearly be distinguished from environmental effects. Interestingly, oscillations in stomatal aperture, which occurred frequently below turgor pressures of 100 kPa towards noon at high transpiration or at high wind speed, were reflected in the Pp values. The period of pressure oscillations was comparable with the period of oscillations in transpiration and photosynthesis. Multiple probe readings on individual leaves and/or on several leaves over the entire height of the plants further emphasised the great impact of this non-invasive turgor pressure sensor system for elucidating the dynamics of short- and long-distance water transport in higher plants.

By Richard Loth (Contact | Biography)
As mentioned previously, a mutual fund's risk-return profile is important for a number of reasons:
- Common sense tells us that a fund investor should get a return equal to or better than the fund's risk rating.
- A risk-return profile helps an investor to make individual fund choices that are consistent with the over all risk profile of his or her portfolio.
- A risk profile is a handy screening device to determine whether a fund's investment advisor is chasing risky investments to boost fund performance.
As is always the case with any financial indicator, fund risk-return ratings should not be looked at in isolation. It would be prudent to correlate these findings with the long-term (five to 10 years) total returns and the management costs of the fund. For example, in comparing two funds with equal performance records, the one with less risk would warrant a higher investment quality rating than the other.
It is worthwhile to look at the risk-return relationship of some mutual funds to see this fund criterion in action. Morningstar's fund report provides an easy-to-use rating, which is the one we will apply here to a selection of stock and bond funds.
After perusing the following fund information, which fund do you think goes to the head of the class for the best positive risk-return spread?
|Large-Cap Stock
|Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX)
|Janus (JANSX)
|Vanguard U.S, Growth (VWUSX)
|Marsico Focus (MFOCX)
|White Oak Select Growth (WOGSX)
|Pioneer High-Yield (TAHYX)
|Fidelity Intermediate (FTHRX)
If you chose the Davis Appreciation & Income Fund, you have grasped the concept behind fund investment quality. In general, most mutual funds will have but one positive "notch," or spread, between their return and risk rating spread. The Marsico and Fidelity Intermediate funds are examples of this status, while the stellar Fidelity Contrafund has a two "notch" positive spread. The Janus, White Oak, and Pioneer funds all show negative spreads, which is a circumstance that should raise some serious concern for fund investors.

Risk is a mantra at Det Norske Veritas (DNV), and to be fair, at every major classification society. By their very nature, the identification, management and mitigation of risk runs through every aspect of class. Sitting atop DNV – and if the recently announced merger goes through, the combined DNV & Germanischer Lloyd (GL) – is Henrik O. Madsen, CEO, who shares with Maritime Professional his insights on managing risk in the maritime and offshore sectors.
While DNV is adept at steering its clients through risk, the organization itself is embarked on a venture – the proposed merger of DNV with German classification society (GL) – that comes with its own brand of risk. "First of all, during the negotiations we did agree on a business plan for the next three years, as well as an integration plan," said Madsen in a recent interview from his office. "Some of the important elements that we have agreed on are for the vision of the company; we have agreed on the values and leadership principles. So the foundation on which we build this is really very strong."
So while the organizations file mountains of paperwork globally to the specification of the various national competitive authorities, the fine details of what could be a classification behemoth – more than 17,000 employees globally with expertise in the oil & gas, renewable energy and power sectors, maritime and among the global top three within management system certification – takes shape.
"Also, we were very similar in opinion on the importance of technology, technology leadership and the need to invest in that to support our industry, to support our customers. So I think some of these risks were mitigated very well from the outset. Personally, what I see is the biggest risk is during the integration period is to ensure we really keep focused on our customers. We can't take the eye off of our customers and their needs." And it is the customers that ultimately benefit from the collaboration, according to Madsen. "If you are a ship owner you will see the combined DNV & GL with an even denser station network around the world, ready to support you anywhere in the world in a better way. And these stations, which number more than 300, will have a wider and deeper competence of expertise."
Technology to the Lead
While human factors are routinely cited as the leading cause in maritime accidents, Madsen has a strong adherence to technology advances as the path to rationalizing maritime operations to optimal safety standards. "In DNV we always had the commitment to invest 5 to 6% of revenue on R&D and innovation. And in the joint plan (the combination of DNV and GL) we are committed to invest 5% in R&D and innovation," said Madsen. "So in terms of money, that will be about $150m of our own money invested every year in R&D and innovation. This is a huge commitment." While technology advances in the maritime field have evolved rapidly in the past decade, driven both by the speed of business (ie. computing and communication technologies) ashore as well as by regulation, the reluctance of the maritime masses to embrace and incorporate new products and systems is, at times, maddeningly slow.
"Sometimes I'm surprised how long it takes to take up new requirements on board. I think those who wait until the last minute do run a risk. (For example) if you look at sulfur requirements coming in 2020, 2020 is coming very fast. It just seems that some are slow in understanding that they must have a plan. There are different options, but it is necessary to have a plan. The same goes for ballastwater treatment systems: of course the convention has not yet been ratified but owners and operators should have a plan for how to do it when it does come. And it will come," Madsen said. "I come from the R&D arm of DNV; we tell all of our customers that technology can solve many problems whether related to Safety or reliability. We are big believers that if we continue to invest into technology and innovation, it can help to better manager risks."
The Global Economy
Arguably, there has been no greater risk to international business in the past five years than a sluggish global economy, and while a 'down' market is often a ripe one for mergers and takeovers, Madsen said this was not a factor in the decision to merge DNV and GL. "From our side we have tried to make this happen for the last six years and we have tried several times before that too," Madsen said. As proof, he said that when results for both DNV and GL come out, the hallmark will be solid growth. "We had good organic growth rates of 8-9%; in the oil and gas there is a growth of about 15%, while the shipping part is also growing but at a slower rate, slowing down a bit, as will deliveries in the coming few years. In the merger, there are of course going to be some duplicates, redundancies of function that will have to be addressed, but really the merger is a story of growth; we have separately been growing 8 to 9%, and together I think we can grow even better."
"In 2000 we had actually negotiated an alliance type of agreement which eventually fell through. Then in 2006 GL came up for sale and we gave what we thought was a very competitive bid but we didn't succeed. Then we have been talking with the family that did win the bid ever since. The fit between two class societies is by far the best between DNV and GL in all respects. GL are strong on marine warranty, marine operations, jack up technology, they have a good presence in the Middle East; and these were four areas where we wanted to strengthen ourselves. We are very strong on floaters, deep water technology, harsh environment, Arctic and pipelines."
The Changing Role of Class
As class continues to consolidate into fewer, larger and more powerful organizations, debate will rage in many circles regarding the implication to the industries as a whole. But in Madsen's view, it really boils down to clarity of purpose. "Our purpose is to safeguard life, property and the environment. That is the purpose of DNV. It's a very motivating purpose, but we have to be careful to not always end up in a policing role, because all of the competence and expertise that we have should be delivered to our customers in a more proactive means," he said. "We've been trying to bring the competence, our innovation and industry knowledge on a broader scale. But still staying within our roles. We are very clear on our roles. One of the first things that we tell all of our own staff is that we don't certify our own work. Second we don't design, build or operate our customer's structures or management systems."
While DNV has been progressive in recent years to challenge industry, pushing the envelope on the environment and fuel efficiency, amongst others, Madsen maintains that the real power of ascertaining risk and reward lies with industry.
"We have challenged the maritime industry quite a bit, with a challenge in energy efficiency, with a challenge on environmental requirements and to look to alternate fuels like LNG. I think that's also our job because we have so much technical competence to really challenge the industry and bring new technology forward, and then it is up to the industry to use it or not."

This is a great help. I've checked the bbfc site and there's lots of information. I don't want to quote the entire letter of the law (I've only got 2000 words to play with) but a few "for instances" should show the required application. Thank you very much.
As regards the UK releases you have to have a BBFC certificate on the front and supposedly (I think) on the spine, but some releases (most notably tin boxes such as "Zatoichi" ) do not have this. Have you tried the BBFC website (www.bbfc.co.uk)? Or a local video store such as HMV or Virgin, as the people there may well have an idea?
Legal Restrictions on DVD Covers I've got to write an essay on multimodal texts and I've chosen to analyse a DVD cover. I'd like to know what legally needs to be included, what is optional and what cannot be included on DVD covers distributed within the UK. Google has let me down so I hope that someone can point me in the right direction on this.

8 Winter Tips for Healthy Living
Holidays, stress, post-holidays, even more stress -- who has time for taking care of ourselves?
You do! Resolve to follow these eight diet, exercise, and lifestyle tips, and you can be good to yourself this winter - and all year long.

Stop Hiding Behind Social Media
By Jenn La Lima Are you in social solitude? If your social life has gone mostly digital, you might be. Social media certainly helps us keep in touch, despite our busy lives. But on some level, many of us are in hiding. Don't let these excuses keep you stuck in a life of increasing social solitude! But... I don't have time to socialize face-to-face. Hey, I hear you. I keep very busy with work, and I spent years feeding my friendships with online oxygen. But relationships are less fulfilling...
Read the Stop Hiding Behind Social Media article > >
1. Enjoy the Benefits of Yogurt
It's creamy smooth, packed with flavor -- and just may be the wonder food you've been craving. Research suggests that that humble carton of yogurt may:
- Help prevent osteoporosis
- Reduce your risk of high blood pressure
- Aid gastrointestinal conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and constipation
Ready to take home a few cartons of yummy yogurt? When buying think low-fat, make sure the yogurt contains active cultures and vitamin D, and keep tabs on sugar content.
2. Help Holiday Heartburn
Getting hit with heartburn over the holidays? Help is at hand! Try these hints and you can stop the burn before it starts:
Nibble: Enjoy your favorite foods -- but in moderation. No need to heap on the goodies (or go back for seconds and thirds!). Packing your stomach with food makes heartburn much more likely.
Know Your Triggers: Certain foods feed heartburn's flame. Typical triggers include foods full of sugar and fat -- think pumpkin pie slathered with whipped cream. Instead reach for complex carbs like veggies and whole-wheat breads -- or at least share that dessert!
Get Up: Stretching out for a nap post-meal is a great way to guarantee you'll get reflux. Instead, keep your head higher than your stomach -- or keep right on walking, away from the dinner table and out the door. Light exercise is a great way to prevent heartburn.
3. Kiss Holiday Cold Sores Good-bye
Holidays: That busy time for toasting the coming year, savoring seasonal sweets, staying up late -- and cold sores?
If you find you're more prone to cold sores (also called fever blisters) during the hectic holiday season, you may be your own worst enemy. That's because lack of sleep, too much alcohol or sugar, stress, and close physical contact (think auntie's smooches) can all contribute to outbreaks.
So, to help keep your kisser cold-sore-free this year -- or to keep from passing your cold sores to others -- try these tips:
- Don't overdo the holiday goodies -- maintain a healthy diet.
- Get plenty of rest.
- Wash your hands.
- Don't share food or drink containers.
- Discard used tissues.
- Don't kiss on or near anyone's cold sore -- and don't let them near yours!

These are really great tips. I particularly like #2. Lot of people mistakenly believe that they can accomplish more by multitasking, however focusing on one thing at a time boosts your productivity and helps you accomplish more in less time.
I would also add one more tip - Learn to delegate. Those who successfully master the art of delegating can accomplish lot more and are able to focus on those tasks that are important.

Austin Hedges is a native of Southern California, but he's still working on adopting a Californian mind-set at the plate.
"I'm trying to be more free and easy and relaxed up there," he said.
MLB.com's No. 65 overall prospect appeared sufficiently relaxed Monday. Hedges doubled twice, stole a base and collected four RBIs in Class A Advanced Lake Elsinore's 9-5 win over Rancho Cucamonga.
Hedges was picked by the Padres out of a San Diego prep school in the second round of the 2011 Draft, and his family lives in nearby San Juan Capistrano. After hitting .279 in the Class A Midwest League his first full season, the 20-year-old catcher is happy to have landed in the Cal League.
"It's been awesome," he said. "My family has been out to almost every game, and I get to go home on off days."
Hedges' two-hit game was his third since returning to the team after missing most of May with a bruised bone in his hand he suffered after getting hit with a pitch. He was batting .229 when he went on the disabled list, and after his performance Monday his average stands at .271.
"Ever since I came back, I'm trying to get more consistent," he said. "I tend to press too hard, so I'm trying to put in less effort during my at-bats."
The Quakes put up two runs in the top of the first, but in the bottom half Hedges made the score moot against Rancho Cucamonga starter James Campbell. With the bases loaded, he smacked a two-run double to left field. Robert Kral, who bats ahead of Hedges, scored on a groundout by next batter Travis Whitmore.
"After giving up two runs in the first, it was great to clear the bases," Hedges said. "That got the momentum turned around for us."
The next inning, Hedges stepped to the dish with Kral on first and Padres' No. 11 prospect Jace Peterson on second. After a six-pitch at-bat, he again ripped a double to left. It plated both runners.
"[Campbell] started me off with two off-speed pitches," Hedges said. "I was able to battle and get the pitch I was looking for."
With Whitmore batting, Hedges stole third. After working a two-out walk in the sixth, he tried for another stolen base but was thrown out.
Peterson tripled and also reached base three times, and San Diego's No. 20 prospect Travis Jankowksi doubled, singled, stole a base and scored a run.
Jon Garcia homered and doubled and Sweeney scored twice for the Quakes, .
Moving forward, Hedges hopes to stay loose and mentally flexible.
"I think for me it's just about making adjustments day by day and trying to get better at something every day," he said. "Whether it's my approach during the game or getting ready before, I'm working on making adjustments as I go."
The Padres prospect's hometown is halfway between San Diego and Los Angeles, and he made a confession some of his club's fans might not want to hear.
"I actually grew up a Dodgers fan," he said.
But now?
"I'm just glad to be part of this organization," he said.

UK: Comment - Interbrew: yet more competition concerns
By Datamonitor | 16 October 2001
The EU antitrust authorities have raised concerns over Interbrew's acquisition of Beck's. Just weeks after the Bass saga was finally resolved, Interbrew's UK strength is causing regulatory problems again.
Interbrew's archrival Scottish & Newcastle has the UK rights to distribute Beck's until 2012, but nonetheless the regulator is concerned about potential monopolistic or collusive behaviour. An investigation could delay the acquisition for months.
Only weeks after the final resolution of the Bass/Whitbread saga, in which Interbrew was forced to sell the Carling brand to reduce the company's share of the overall UK beer market, the Belgian company's acquisitions may once again spark an antitrust investigation.
In August this year, Interbrew agreed to pay £1.2 billion for Brauerai Beck's, as international brewers begin to enter the previously closed German market. Indeed, the Beck's deal represents the first major international purchase in the German beer market.
Interbrew is now in a strong, first-mover position within the German market, with key local brands in the premium lager and specialty beer categories, in addition to Interbrew's vast international portfolio.
However, the EU's competition authorities have raised concern that
Interbrew's ownership of both Stella Artois and Beck's, two of the most popular premium beer brands in the UK, may give the company excessive monopoly power in the UK premium beer market. The concerns come even though Scottish and Newcastle currently holds the distribution rights for Beck's in the UK
Even though S&N will keep the distribution rights until 2012, the regulator has given indication that the potential for price fixing by Interbrew, or duopolistic behaviour by the two leading brewers, is sufficient to spark a four month investigation. Interbrew confirmed that it had offered "limited concessions" to the Brussels regulator but added that it was normal practice for rival brewers to work together under licensing agreements.
The EU has two weeks to decide whether to let the deal pass or launch an investigation. After a year of regulatory uncertainty over Bass, Interbrew's investors may have to hold their breath a little longer.

Mlive recently reported that Inc. Magazine lists five of the top 500 fastest growing companies in America as Michigan-based:
On a per-capita basis, this is not a strong performance for a state of nearly 10 million people, but a company's growth relies on more than just the population of its home state. More interesting is that none of the companies listed appear to have been selected by the state's economic development agency for special favors. None have been granted selective MEGA tax breaks or subsidies, for example.
Over the last decade, Michigan politicians went on a binge of picking corporate winners and losers for special state tax breaks and/or cash handouts (they passed 280 new laws categorized as "economic development"). But as these five firms demonstrate, who wins in the marketplace has little to do with who does or does not get selective government favors.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria -- More than 60 Nigerian girls and women abducted two weeks ago by Islamic extremists have managed to escape, officials said Monday, though more than 200 girls kidnapped in April still remain missing.
Nigerian security forces and federal officials have denied reports of a mass abduction June 22 from three villages in the northeastern state of Borno. But Chibok government chairman Pogu Bitrus said Monday he had verified that about 60 women and girls escaped last week by sending a representative to meet with some of the escapees and their families at a hospital in Lassa.
Civil patrol leader Abbas Gava in Maiduguri, capital of Borno state, said he was told 63 women and girls escaped Friday while their captors were engaged in a major attack on a military barracks and police headquarters in the town of Damboa.

The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), a leading gastrointestinal medical society, has granted a three-year renewal recognition for quality and safety to Galen Medical Group Endoscopy, Chattanooga, as part of its program specifically dedicated to promoting quality in endoscopy in all settings where it is practiced in the United States. Galen Medical Group Endoscopy is one of more than 450 endoscopy units to be granted the recognition since 2009. The ASGE Endoscopy Unit Recognition Program honors endoscopy units that have demonstrated a commitment to patient safety and quality in endoscopy as evidenced by meeting the program's rigorous criteria, which includes following the ASGE guidelines on privileging, quality assurance, endoscope reprocessing, CDC infection control guidelines and ensuring endoscopy staff competency.
Galen representatives stated, "Galen Medical Group Endoscopy is honored to be recognized once again by ASGE for our efforts to enhance quality and safety in our endoscopy unit. Through ongoing education and continued compliance with the ASGE Endoscopy Unit Recognition Program requirements, we demonstrate our dedication to the delivery of high-quality patient care."
To be recognized by ASGE, a unit, through a peer-reviewed application process, must attest to the continued competence of all staff relative to their roles, demonstrate the adoption of unit policies specific to ongoing assessment of performance relative to key quality indicators, and attest that the unit has an established infrastructure and personnel dedicated to infection control and prevention. The program is applicable to all settings in the United States and Puerto Rico where endoscopy is practiced, including office-based endoscopy units, hospital-based endoscopy units, and stand-alone ambulatory endoscopy or surgery centers. An important component of the program is an educational course entitled, "Improving Quality and Safety in Your Endoscopy Unit," that thoroughly reviews related guidelines. Upon completion of the program, successful applicants are awarded ASGE's Certificate of Recognition of Quality in Endoscopy. The certificate is granted for a three-year renewable period.
"We are proud to acknowledge these endoscopy units through our Endoscopy Unit Recognition Program for their commitment to promoting the highest standards of safety and quality," said Jonathan Cohen, MD, FASGE, chair, ASGE Quality Assurance in Endoscopy Committee. "By ensuring infection control principles are adhered to, continually assessing the competency of staff, and monitoring patient satisfaction, ASGE-recognized units contribute to the public's confidence in endoscopy, a life-saving technology."
