Were Latin American & US Offshore Advisor Portfolios Prepared for the 2020 Market Meltdown?
Modest Decrease in Equity Exposure
While average exposure declined to 40.7% from 43.0% at midyear 2019, equity retained its position as the largest broad asset class in the average Latin American & US Offshore moderate model portfolio. Many of the advisors we work with indicated they wanted to take a little risk off the table by rebalancing back to initial allocations as equity markets continued to rally through year-end.
Some went even further, increasing their allocations to fixed income and alternatives. In the Latin American & US Offshore moderate model portfolio peer group, North American and Global Equity allocations increased slightly, to 17.9% and 11.7% respectively, with a preference for growth stocks over value stocks.
ESG-oriented allocations (environmental, social, governance) accounted for about 30% of average equity exposure.2 ESG allocations were highest in Emerging Market Equity, at just over 50%, compared to 20% in North American Equity, where large-cap indexing is more popular.

Source: Natixis Portfolio Clarity® data from July 1 to Dec. 31, 2019. Asset classes are based on Morningstar categories. Real assets represents the sum of commodities, property and miscellaneous.
Equity generally saw an uptick in active management over the year. Financial advisors tended to favor active managers for emerging market (92%), global (93%) and European equities (100%) but felt more comfortable with passive strategies for North American allocations. Active exposure in North American equities declined to 74% from 76% at midyear, amid an ongoing string of record highs in the S&P 500®.
Financial advisors continue to prefer active management for fixed income by large margins. The category remains 94% actively managed, up from 88% at midyear. The preference for active managers was strongest in global and emerging market fixed income (100% and 95% respectively) and weakest in inflation-linked securities (74%) where the do-it-yourself decision may not have seemed as risky.
FIGURE 2: Use of active managers on the rise

Strong performance and continuing accommodative monetary policy generally made fixed income slightly more attractive for moderate model portfolios. USD Diversified Bond was the top Morningstar category within the North America Fixed Income asset class, followed closely by Short-Term and Flexible Bond. Quality paper is still in demand.
We saw a similar trend in Global Bonds, with Flexible Bond and USD Hedged Flexible Bond as the top allocations. This seems to reinforce the anecdotal evidence of advisors having less personal conviction about where to allocate and delegating the decision to professional bond managers who can "go anywhere."
Increased Risk/Return Profile
Advisors started the year on a cautious note following the market plunge in the fourth quarter of 2018. But risk appetite increased as the equity market rebounded. The average 3-year annualized risk for the moderate model portfolios increased from 5.1% at year-end 2018 to 5.7% by the end of 2019. On a one-year basis, risk began to come out of the market, with the average model seeing 12-month standard deviation numbers return to their pre-2018 year-end crisis levels (Figure 3). Every moderate model portfolio we reviewed made a full recovery from the fourth quarter 2018 downturn (Figure 4).

Latin American & US Offshore financial advisors' allocation decisions varied somewhat from those of their US and European counterparts. The portfolios had the second lowest equity allocation behind France, but due to their higher concentration in US equity, performance outpaced the European models. Higher allocations to US equity resulted in the strongest returns for the US portfolios.

Entering 2020, markets appeared resilient amid waning concerns about US/China trade relations and growing worries about coronavirus and potentially slower global growth ahead. Consensus was that US markets would likely be supported until the presidential election in November, but earnings would need to grow to sustain the bull market.
But as we saw in late February 2020, the environment can change quickly. Most portfolios were ill prepared for the market rout triggered by coronavirus fears and plummeting oil prices. Now that volatility has returned and the 11-year bull market has ended, financial advisors will have new opportunities to review their models to better understand sources of return, diversification, and risk.

In Argentina, Dr. Carolina Carrillo, an Eisenhower Fellow in our 2015 Women's Leadership Program, has helped lead the development of a new fast and inexpensive molecular diagnostic test for Covid-19 that the government recently approved for use. Carolina, a senior researcher at the César Milstein Institute for Science and Technology, is one of two leaders of the scientific project that developed a new low-cost, easy-to-use diagnostic kit for Covid-19 that indicates whether a person is infected with the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus in little more than an hour. The team of researchers led by Carolina and Dr. Adrian Vojnov was working on the development of a similar test for other diseases—at first, Chagas, Syphilis and others, more recently Zika, Chikingunya and Dengue--when the Covid-19 crisis began and they quickly shifted their focus towards the new pandemic. With the support of the Argentine Ministry of Science and Technology, this allowed them to develop the test in just 60 days. During development the test was validated with clinical samples and then evaluated by the National Administration of Drugs, Food and Medical Technology, which certified the test and granted marketing registration on May 15. The diagnostic kit is known as NEOKIT-COVID-19. Read the story of how they developed it here.

UPDATES ON COVID-19 – 26 May 2020
Ten News Network
Government of India along with the States/UTs is taking several steps for prevention, containment and management of COVID-19 through a graded, pre-emptive and pro-active approach. These are being regularly reviewed and monitored at the highest level.
The focus of the administration continues to be on prevention and containment measures so as to limit the spread of infection. Following of required hand hygiene, respiratory hygiene and effective sanitation of frequently touched surfaces are critical to avoid getting the infection. There is a need to ensure COVID appropriate behaviour to tide over this crisis. This also includes regular use of the masks/face covers and working towards protecting the elderly and vulnerable. Maintenance of physical distancing in public is the social vaccine the world currently has against the novel Coronavirus.
India has rapidly increased its testing capacity and is on track to meet the emerging requirements. India is now testing an approximate 1.1 lakh samples per day. Capacity has been increased by augmenting number of labs, shifts, RT-PCR machines and manpower. As of today, India has 612 total labs, 430 run by ICMR and 182 in the private sector to test the population for COVID-19 infection. Guidelines have been issued to States/UTs advising immediate testing for symptomatic and home quarantine for asymptomatic migrant workers. Most States/UTs have been working with National Tuberculosis Elimination Program (NTEP) to deploy TrueNAT machines for COVID-19 testing. Indigenous manufacturers of RT-PCR-kits, VTM, swabs & RNA extraction kits have been identified and their production facilitated in the last few months.
Recovery rate in the country continues to improve and presently it is 41.61%. A total of 60,490 patients have so far recovered from COVID-19. The case fatality rate in the country is also showing a downward trend from 3.30% (as on 15th April) to around 2.87% at present which is amongst the lowest in the world. The global average for case fatality is presently around 6.45%.
An analysis of case mortality per lakh population indicates that India has about 0.3 deaths per lakh population which is amongst the lowest in the world against the statistics of 4.4 deaths per lakh population for the world. The relatively low death figures, both in terms of mortality per lakh population and case fatality rate, represent timely case identification and clinical management of the cases.

Vladek experiences the atrocities that Jews in Germany facedbecause they were replicated by Germans in Poland. An example is arequirement for all Jews to wear badges that identify them as such.The government took over all the businesses belonging to Polish Jewsand also seized a lot of their property. They were compelled to livein ghettos under strict laws that controlled their movement andexposed them to brutal treatment. Vladek comes across in Mausasboth the hero and the villain as depicted by his characterization byArt Spiegelman through his own eyes and those of his son, and hisstrengths and weaknesses as the main character. The story ofholocaust comes out through the experiences of a single individual ina manner that invites varied judgment from the reader. AlthoughVladek's deceptive and survival skills are apparent in the story,the reader also notices that he effortlessly assumes the position ofthe gallant male protagonist, who fits impeccably into the amusingnarrative tradition.
Artdepicts the youthful Vladek as a protagonist who experienceslife-threatening trials, separation, and adversity but gets by usinghis wits and eventually finds a contented ending in his reunion withAnya. The younger Vladek is unbelievably ingenious and in an extentlarger than life, but the older Vladek is overly real, irritable,miserly, and his faults apparent, which shows that it is well withinthe right of the reader to classify him as a hero and a villain. Artviews Vladek as a superhero in the magnitude of classic superheroesas the Iron Man. In Maus,II Vladeksays, "I remember arguing with him…. And being told that I couldnot do anything as well as he could…No matter what I accomplish, itdoes not seem like much compared to surviving Auschwitz" (II.2.34).These words depict Vladek as unique, intelligent, resourceful,ambitious, and dashing. He has the ability to fit and survive all thepredicaments inflicted by Germans in Poland. In Art's eyes, he isthe voice of hope that trumps the wave of despair that sweeps acrossPoland during the war period. As conditions become worse for Jews inPoland, Vladek is able to shift roles as an astute businessman to anillicit trader that deals in everything that comes his way. Auschwitzis a symbol of oppression, but Vladek attitudes embody an individualwith the resilience to deal with the challenges that all Jews face inPoland. He looks for as many opportunities as possible to barter theskills he has and makes some savings in a place that literally lacksanything to live on. When Vladek's wife, Anja, wants to commitsuicide upon learning of her son's death, he prevails on her toface life rather than be an escapist. He sounds philosophical when hesays, "To die is easy….but you have to struggle for life". Atno given point does Vladek exhibit, a trait that comes out as hisprominent characteristic that gives him the determination to livethrough the horror of the Holocaust.
Spiegelman'sportrayal for the survivor
Spiegelmanportrays the survivor as a symbol of resilience and determination.The most striking aspect of the portrayal is that Vladek does notmention anything about the sufferings he experienced in the camps.Art juxtaposes old Vladek with Vladek. They are a direct contrastdespite facing the same circumstances under Germans in Poland. OldVladek is physically and psychologically frail. He suffers fromvarious ailments that emanate from the inhumane treatment in thecamps. He talks about the experiences quite overly until he begins tosound neurotic with an obsession with perfection. Other survivorssuch as Vladek find it quite unusual, but it aids in portraying thesurvivor as a symbol of resilience and the determination to deal withthe challenges of the Holocaust. Vladek's weakness is that he isreserved about sufferings he experiences. While he comes across asdetermined and resilient, it is quite difficult for the reader toknow more about his experiences through his words. Being reserved isa character weakness because the reader lacks the opportunity tolearn a lot of from the main character whose prominent role should bethe source of hope for the Jewish community. Vladek is also mean. Hehoards the things he sells during the struggle unless everything ispried out of him in one way or the other. Vladek also has somedictatorial tendencies, which are evident in his relationship withAnja. His dictatorial behavior washes away his positive qualitiesthat help him survive the Holocaust such as being resourceful. Hesays, "I told her if you want me you have to go my way…." (31).
AJewish caricature as depicted through Vladek
Artieis right to be worried that Vladek is simply a reproduction of theracist caricature of the miserly old Jew. For a person with a lifeexperience in the hands of Germans at the camps and ghettos, it isunfathomable for him to scold Artie for helping a black hitchhikerget up. It would be expected that the oppression in the hands of theGermans gave him the experiential empathy to propel him to stop anysort of oppression, especially against minorities. The fact that hekeeps hoarding things unless it is all in his favor makes himperfectly associated with the character of a miserly old Jew.Vladek's experience during the Holocaust seems to have crippled hisemotions reducing to a "caricature of the miserly old Jew" (133).Mala also confirms this perspective about Vladek by saying that theexperiences made him become more concerned with "things thanpeople!"(133). He subconsciously wants to constantly be resourcefuland pragmatic to keep surviving even when the Holocaust is no longerthere.
Inconclusion, Vladek is both a hero and villain. He is a hero becausehe depicts the survival ideals and aspects of a war victim when theGermans invade Poland. As a young Vladek, he is ingenious and wittyand gets by decently well despite the separation, severe trials, andhardship he undergoes, but as he ages he becomes exceedingly real,prickly, and stingy. He is the villain because he fails to separatehimself from the oppressive nature of his oppressors. Spiegelmanjuxtaposition of various timelines shows that the past, the present,and future in a manner that brings out the effects of the Holocaustto the victims. Interestingly, the experiences of a single individualcan be the mirror through which to understand the plight of millionsof victims the suffered in the hands of the anti-Semitic Germanregime in Poland and Germany during World War II.

Blame the media. The self image obsessiveness that the media as caused in women is now effecting men. The six pack abs, gel hair, hot body obsessiveness is causing a rise in male binge eating. Binge eating is directly related to emotional well being and the media has a large influence on emotional well being in today's culture. One solution is to turn if the television, this leads to great healing emotional and mentally.
Binge Eating in Men
Understanding a Widely Misunderstood Eating Disorder
Posted Oct 02, 2012
Today, men are catching up with women in body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. Some are going to dangerous lengths to slim down, others spend hours in the gym bulking up and others find themselves drowning their emotions in food. In short, men are struggling with the same eating disorders that have for too long been categorized as "women's diseases."
An Invisible Problem Comes to Light
While men make up about 10 percent of patients with anorexia and bulimia, both sexes struggle almost equally with binge eating. According to the Binge Eating Disorder Association, 40 percent of the estimated 10 million Americans who binge eat are men. In a recent study of 46,351 men and women ages 18 to 65 published in The International Journal of Eating Disorders, roughly 11 percent of women and 7.5 percent of men struggled with binge eating.
Binge eating is defined as consuming large amounts of food within a two-hour period at least twice per week, combined with loss of control. Those struggling with this disorder often consume thousands of calories in one sitting, followed by an overwhelming sense of shame and self-loathing, which leads to further binging.
The causes and underlying mechanisms of binge eating are similar to other eating disorders. Binge eaters may suffer from low self-esteem, past trauma or weight-related bullying, or use food to numb emotions and cope with stress. The symptoms of binge eating disorder are similar in men and women, and include:
- Repeatedly eating large amounts of food in short periods of time, without purging
- Feeling out of control around food
- Eating in secret or hiding food
- Eating regardless of hunger and until uncomfortably full
- Eating to relieve difficult feelings
- Feeling shame, self-hatred, disgust or despair after overeating
- Frequently dieting or taking other measures to control weight and eating habits
Underrepresented but Highly Impacted
One factor that differentiates binge eating in men and women is that it is more likely to go unnoticed in men. Even if they are overweight or obese, as an estimated 70 percent of people with binge disorder are, eating more and carrying more weight are more socially acceptable for men than women.
Because eating disorders still carry a stigma, especially among men, the risks of binge eating are great. Heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and other weight-related health conditions are common, as are mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Binge eating, like other eating disorders, can impact a man's career, relationships and every area of his life.
Compounding the problem is the reality that many men do not seek treatment for fear of appearing weak, strange or like less of a man. Even when they do, there is no distinct listing for binge eating disorder in the current DSM, the diagnostic manual for mental health professionals (though it has been approved for inclusion in the next DSM). As such, therapists may not be experienced in diagnosing or treating binge eating disorder in men.
Although men may not reach out for help as often, treatment is equally effective for men as it is for women. Treatment for binge eating disorder typically includes cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, nutritional counseling as well as other approaches. There are also support groups and eating disorder treatment programs, some of which have specialized tracks for men.
We Can't Heal What We Don't See
So why is it important to know that binge eating disorder is prevalent among men? A man who binge eats needs treatment and support just as a woman does. Until more health care providers understand the symptoms of binge eating disorder, screen for eating disorders in both men and women (particularly when working with obese patients, or individuals struggling with depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses), and recommend appropriate treatment options, men will continue to hide in the shadows – at great cost to themselves and their loved ones. With a growing body of research and expanding awareness, there's no longer an excuse to overlook men who are so clearly in need of help to live longer, healthier lives.
Male binge eating
I agree the media is a large part of what shapes our culture today. Also agree that we have to take individual responsibility to turn off TV or do other things to stay healthy. This is a problem women have been facing for generations. Perhaps now that men are also being bombarded with these pressures to look a certain way, we can join together to make things change. I was very moved by the Maine teenager who sued Seventeen magazine about their digitally modified images. Seventeen has now vowed not to "significantly" alter images in its magazines. That's a start.

Mandatory Funniest Tweets to Finish the Week 12-13-2019
It may be Friday the 13th, but there's nothing scarier than a week without funny tweets. If you missed our last Tweets of the Week, how dare you! Between the endless impeachment, dick fish washing up onshore and Epstein definitely not killing himself, we could all use a few laughs. Thank goodness we have this sweet tweet video above to get us through! Now catch up on all the Twitter insanity here, then follow us on Twitter @Mandatory.
But first: Today's Mandatory Funny Photos
10. Man Steals Electric Shopping Cart From Walmart to Avoid DUI, Gets Arrested Anyway
Brice Kendell Williams thought he'd outplayed the cops when he stole an electric cart from Louisiana Walmart to go bar hopping. Unfortunately for Williams, someone at the bar called the cops because they're a narc. Anyway, don't drink and drive anything. It's not worth it.
9. Man Eats $120K Banana at Art Basel
Speaking of weird, the powers that be in the art world (aka Art Basel Miami Beach) declared Maurizio Cattelan's banana taped to the wall real-life art and gave it a price tag of $120,000. Instead of letting it rot there, a man (who may or may not have been a performance artist) stopped by and ate it, proving that late-stage capitalism is stunning but delicious.
8. Dog Steals a Car and Drives in Circles For an Hour
A Florida Labrador retriever named Max needed to scratch some stuff of his bucket list earlier this year and he started with boosting a vehicle. Since this happened in Florida, the dog drove around in a circle for an hour before the cops arrived and stopped him.
7. The Government Confirms UFOs Exist Thanks to Tom DeLonge
Although it sounds weird, the government finally confirmed the existence of UFOs thanks to the detective work of none other than dick and fart joke master of the 2000s, Tom DeLonge. After he quit being the frontman of Blink 182, he put all his money into proving aliens are real, which is easily more than the rest of us have ever done.
6. Refueling With the Blood of the Young
When it comes to staying young, people will do almost everything, which is why a startup called Ambrosia now exists. What it does verges on vampirism, as it takes the blood of the young and gives it to the decrepit or whoever will pay $8,000 for "baby blood." Anyways, this is an Alex Jones conspiracy theory come to life, which is why it made this list.
5. Cowboy Hats on Pigeons
No, we don't know why someone in Las Vegas was attaching cowboy hats to pigeons. The most logical explanation is that the rodeo was in town.
4. Company Hires People to Smoke Pot For $3,000
They told us the future would be flying cars and peace on Earth. They were obviously wrong, but we can't argue with the fact that weed is so mainstream that a company has been hiring people to smoke weed and eat their fill of Cool Ranch Doritos. And you don't even have to pay them, they pay you $3,000, just like God intended.
3. Man Parks His Smart Car Inside His Home
The best stories always start with Florida man and this one is no exception. This Florida man parked his smart car inside his home during Hurricane Dorian so it wouldn't blow away. Any why wouldn't you park your Hot Wheels car indoors if it fits?
2. The Storming of Area 51
Never in our wildest X-Files fantasies did anyone believe they'd get access to Area 51, but that didn't stop them from trying. It all started with a Facebook event titled "Storm Area 51, they can't stop all of us," which went viral with over 2 million RSVPs. Those who went to Area 51 were denied access, but thankfully, we have thousands of beautiful memes to remind us how a chance at peeping aliens made people come together.
1. Jeffrey Epstein Didn't Kill Himself
Honestly, no one with any sense believes convicted child peddler Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. What makes this the weirdest new story of 2019 isn't that the coroner says he killed himself. It's how the general public reacted, which includes a Clovis brewery printing "Jeffrey Epstein Didn't Kill Himself" on the bottom of beer cans because...why not?

BRAD COLE THE ADVOCATE North-West Thunder chairman Tony Barker hopes basketball in the south of the state can rebound quickly after the shock withdrawal of the Southern Huskies and Hobart Huskies from the New Zealand NBL and NBL1 competitions.
With all the NBL1 clubs to meet at a forum in Melbourne in a fortnight, Barker said it wasn't a good look for Tasmanian basketball to have another drama unfolding.
The Hobart Huskies took over the NBL1 licence from the Hobart Chargers, who went into recess last year following disagreements over affiliation with Basketball Tasmania.
"It's going to be almost embarrassing I think to be there and have Tassie fall off the wagon again after we got ourselves sorted last year," Barker said.
"That's what will make the NBL1 guys nervous again so something needs to happen pretty quick to settle things down.
"Whether it's a disaster or a challenge, there is always opportunity that goes along with it and that opportunity now is to get the structures right to be sustainable moving forward.
"I think there will be a few people feeling a bit jaded about it all after jumping on the Huskies bandwagon and I don't know how the Chargers' community would be feeling about it all as well.
"We've also got the NBL Blitz coming up and the NBL1 participation in that – you want it to be really successful and be a real positive for Tasmania and not clouded by something like this."
Behind a seemingly well-financed operating group, the Huskies made a big splash on the Tasmanian basketball landscape and made their intentions clear that their ultimate goal was to get a team in the NBL.
They began that process by entering a team in the NZNBL which featured North-West Coast product Mason Bragg and was coached by Anthony Stewart.
But Barker believes operating costs may have also been part of the reason for Friday's announcement, especially after they received a $200,000 interim support package from the Tasmanian Government back in June.
"It seems that the Huskies went out on a limb to get something going at all costs," Barker said.
"They were certainly out of pocket compared to the rest of the New Zealand league teams and maybe it wasn't sustainable?"
With NBL owner Larry Kestelman currently in exclusive negotiations to buy the Derwent Entertainment Centre, Barker doesn't think Tasmania's chances of having its own team again will be damaged.
"Kestelman will do what he wants to do and I don't think any of this will be a surprise to him," Barker said.
"There was a comment in the media release about all their creditors getting paid, and we had heard all season about things that alerted us to that – I'm sure those stories would have been getting back to the NBL1 and Kestelman."

If its develops a fault in the first year, I guess you've got that whole year of to return it (?). I know the frustration of waiting for an exchange having had 2 failed 270's but I think if you're unhappy with it you should maybe call them up and return it???Originally posted by nora
When I got the 600 I tried syncing it right out of the box to OS9.2. Didn't work, however I didn't think it would until I installed the cd software that came with it. I was reluctant because of the hot sync manager issue posted, but knew that I had to. So I installed the software, and did a sync. Worked beautifully!!!!
However, one thing I failed to mention before is that I am not syncing my datebook, calendar, memo and to do to the Palm Desktop software. I am syncing all that to Entourage (email / calendar) program. I forgot that a while back I quit using the Palm Desktop software because I had issues syncing with it way back when I owned a Handspring Prism. I have been sycing to Entourage instead since than and I like it's features much better anyway.
I've done several syncs. All connected immediately and were very fast and the best thing is I still get to stay in OS9.2 (no upgrade to 10 needed!)
I'm wondering if part of some of the problems are related to the Desktop Calendar software since I have not had a problem yet after about 10 syncs.
Not sure what to do about the pixel issue? It's so small, but this is such an expensive device, you know. I hate to have to wait such a long time for a new unit. Any idea what Handspring's return policy is (14 days, 30 days, etc)?
Glad to hear your synching is OK. Yes maybe not using the palm desktop helps.
I'm happy enough for now if everything except installing new applications is working for me (beamed a few apps over from my 270. Can live without other new apps until there's a workaround or fix or I get a new mac with OSX - which I am planning to do next year sometime rather than putting finances into upgrade my ageing G3)

Imma let you finish, but Taylor Swift had a pretty good year. Not only did she come out of it making bank, she also became known for her friend-making skills and proved she's pretty much the nicest person who also happens to have four consecutive No. 1 albums. Still, could it be argued that someone -- two someones, in fact -- had an even more exciting year than Swift? Perhaps two someones who could enjoy all the spoils of a pop-star lifestyle while spending the majority of their day napping?
Yes, we're talking about Swift's two cuddly compatriots, her cats Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson. Throughout the year, they made appearances on tour, on her Instagram, even on her boyfriend's Instagram. Let's review the last 12 months through the eyes of some of the year's most famous felines.
Late 2014: Here, we see Taylor Swift's cats facing some limitations. There's video evidence that they appear to be lacking opposable thumbs, which would come in handy for opening treat bags. Mere days later, we see Meredith and Olivia in their new carriers -- quite chic, but highlighting their lack of agency in their own lives.
Later that same day, TayTay shares a snap of Olivia using her owner as an expensive private plane seat. Things are looking up. 2015 might hold promise after all.
February 2015: Olivia is shown finally getting her treat. (Though, it is likely this is not the first treat she finagled from Swift's hands, opposable thumbs or not.) A few weeks later, we see Olivia and Meredith hanging out together. A nice life, to be sure, but nowhere near the delightful cat pictures that would follow in the months ahead.
March 2015: "I woke up like thissss," Swift writes. "(With a cat on me.)" It's pretty much a portrait of cat-human bliss. But not all is purr-fect: just over a week later, Swift shares a snap of her leg, freshly mauled by Meredith. Here, we learn the greatest truth of this year: pop stars bleed when faced with a cat's claws, multibillion dollar recording artist or not.
Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes cat scratches -- oh, never mind, they totally do.
At the tail end of March, we see that Olivia has clearly used Jedi-like mind control to win the favor of a young human, sending a clear message to Swift: we will scratch you, and still be able to make you love us with overt displays of cuddliness.
April 2015: It seems that the species of Meredith and Olivia is called into question. First, Swift discovers an uncanny meerkat-cat connection in her pets. (Could you possibly even call them meercats?) Then, she records a video in which Meredith and Olivia can be heard offscreen, captioning it, "Living with Roosters: A Documentary."
There is, however, a stunning breakthrough: Swift's confirmed beau, Calvin Harris, shares a photo of Meredith and Olivia (who, it must be said, is tipping the scales more toward meerkat than cat). When Bae acknowledges your cats, you know it's real.
May 2015: The cats have different reactions, it seems, to their cat-hood being questioned. Meredith is, understandably, displeased, while it looks like Olivia is willing to overlook any misidentifications in order to receive a treat from her namesake -- Detective Olivia Benson, aka actress Mariska Hargitay, aka a new pal of Swift's.
Let us pause in our year-in-review for this close-up of Meredith drinking water, captured by Harris.
August and September 2015: The end of the summer is spent in exquisite chairs and even more meerkating (henceforth a real word).
October 2015: Swift expresses extreme devotion to her pets, hugging a cardboard cutout of one when they weren't able to be present on the international legs of her tour. Olivia, for her part, seems to be more satisfied by her love for fancy chairs than her excited pop star owner. Way to stay on brand.
And Halloween was not to be overlooked, as Swift herself revealed Olivia as a "melting snowman" -- which Swift then tried to replicate as a non-melting snowman on stage. Close, but Olivia is the clear winner of this costume contest.
November 2015: "Olivia Benson chewing on Olivia Benson's moon man because she is disrespectful," Swift writes on Instagram. It is unsurprising that Olivia believes Hargitay's MTV moonman to be hers. In Olivia's eyes, all awards are hers.
Thankfully, it is quite clear who this pie is for (baked by none other than Blake Lively). No question there.
December 2015: The year ends with a well-deserved purring session. A pretty good 12 months, indeed.

Donald Trump's Twitter campaign is persisting despite allusions that he might curb his onslaught of posts. Mr. Trump is showing no signs of slowing down on Twitter in the days before his inauguration, and his numerous jabs at China have garnered a stern response.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly criticized China via Twitter, and each time China has roundly condemned both the form and the content of these posts. Today was no exception; both China's state newspaper and Foreign Ministry retaliated against Donald Trump's "Twitter foreign policy." Despite most forms of social media being banned in China, this has not stopped Chinese officials from being infuriated by Mr. Trump's Twitter posts.
China's state news agency, Xinhua, had enough of Mr. Trump's incessant Twitter activity, running a stern headline on Tuesday stating that "an obsession with 'Twitter foreign policy' is undesirable." As reported by the New York Times, China is infuriated with Mr. Trump's constant jabs, culminating in a tweet on Monday insinuating that China is not doing enough to assist with North Korea.
China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U.S. in totally one-sided trade, but won't help with North Korea. Nice!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2017
Responding to this veiled accusation that China is not assisting in containing North Korea's nuclear ambitions, the article in Xinhua exclaims, "Anyone with common sense recognizes that foreign policy is not child's play, and is not at all like running a business."
In the commentary, China's frustration with Mr. Trump's unorthodox approach to foreign policy is obvious.
"Twitter shouldn't become an instrument of foreign policy," the article continues, insinuating that Mr. Trump is addicted to social media.
Earlier in the day, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson likewise responded to Mr. Trump's "Twitter foreign policy" and the deterioration in China-U.S. relations, stating, "We hope that instead of saying or doing anything that may escalate tensions, all parties should take joint actions to move the issue back onto the track of dialogue and negotiation at an early date."
"International relations have to be handled delicately. A poorly considered statement can cause [offense] or even spark a conflict. Trump may enjoy the way he is empowered by social media, but it is not a platform for a leader to conduct foreign policy."
Apart from Mr. Trump's recent tweet regarding China's seeming lack of participation in containing North Korea, China was also concerned with his unconventional approach to Taiwan. After accepting a congratulatory phone call from Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, Mr. Trump posted to Twitter and has recently alluded to the possibility of meeting the president on U.S. soil — a serious departure from the status quo.
This has infuriated China and exacerbated tensions. While Tsai maintains that she wants to keep the peace with China, her support of Taiwanese independence has concerned Bejing, and Mr. Trump's amiability has raised Chinese suspicions.
The President of Taiwan CALLED ME today to wish me congratulations on winning the Presidency. Thank you!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2016
For decades, the U.S. has eschewed official diplomatic relations with Taiwan in support of the "One-China" policy. As explained by BBC News, this policy reflects an acquiescence to the Chinese position that Taiwan is a part of China. This policy "is not only a key cornerstone of Sino-US relations, it is also a fundamental bedrock of Chinese policy-making and diplomacy." Mr. Trump's move away from this policy, as insinuated in multiple posts on Twitter, has rattled U.S.-China relations and raised fears that Taiwan is being emboldened in their pursuit of independence from China.
As China's Foreign Ministry stated in yesterday's briefing, "We keep stressing that the Taiwan question is the most important and sensitive one in China-US relations."
"We urge the US side to fully recognize the sensitivity of the question, stick to the one China policy and the principles of the three China-US joint communiqués, cautiously and prudently approach Taiwan-related issues, and refrain from having any official contacts and exchanges with Taiwan. This position is very clear and explicit."
This warning from China regarding Mr. Trump's Twitter remarks on Taiwan and North Korea is the latest effect of his unorthodox approach to foreign policy, but it may not be the last. While Mr. Trump's campaign was unconventional and focused on social media, he shows no signs of slowing down ahead of his inauguration at the end of this month.
Incoming white House press secretary Sean Spicer spoke to ABC News on Sunday, saying that Mr. Trump will continue with his Twitter policy statements.
"You know what, the fact of the matter is that, when he tweets, he gets results. So whether it's Twitter, holding a news conference, picking up the phone, having a meeting, he is going to make sure that he continues to fight for the American people every single day."
Donald Trump currently has 18.3 million followers on Twitter, 16.8 million on Facebook, and 4.5 million on Instagram. He has tweeted more than 34,000 times since joining the social media platform in 2009 and shows no signs of slowing down.
While Donald Trump's "Twitter foreign policy" may have infuriated China, they may just have to get used to the incoming "Twitter President." Mr. Trump's most recent tweets hinted at major changes in nuclear policy, withdrawal of U.S. support for the United Nations, and a blatant disregard for the intelligence community. As Donald Trump's inauguration draws near, China's infuriation with the president-elect's activity on Twitter has only grown, raising questions about the future of U.S.-Chinese relations under Mr. Trump.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Wednesday said the luxury presidential jet he plans to sell would return to Mexico later in the day, more than 1-1/2 years after he sent it to the United States in search of a buyer.
Mexico has struggled to sell the opulent Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which the leftist Lopez Obrador has cast as a symbol of excess and corruption under previous governments in a country where around half the population lives in poverty.
"It will arrive today," Lopez Obrador said during a regular press conference. "It will arrive at the presidential hangar, the plane is coming."
The jet was acquired by former President Enrique Pena Nieto in 2012 and fitted with marble-lined bathrooms. Reconfigured to fly only 80 people, the plane has a "presidential suite" and a private bath.
The sale has been hamstrung in part by Lopez Obrador's unwillingness to accept offers below a United Nations-backed valuation of $130 million, even as the plane was potentially losing value as it sat unused in southern California.
Lopez Obrador's unorthodox plans to sell the plane included a raffle, where the plane was going to be the prize. Later he said the raffle would be a lottery-style event, with 100 winners getting about $1 million each rather than the plane.
Earlier this month, the government said Mexico was considering a $120 million bid for the jet after an unidentified prospective buyer offered to pay part in cash and part in medical equipment.
Mexico has been badly hit by the coronavirus pandemic, with hospitals running short on medical supplies and the country suffering the world's fourth highest death toll from the virus.

The Civil Rights Movement Songs in the performance at the White House
and their role in our every day lives
" In Performance at the White House: A celebration of Music from the Civil Rights
Movement" is a concert that took place at the White House East Room on February 10th 2010 in honor of Black History Month and in celebration of 50 years of Civil Rights Movement. This concert consisted of number special selected songs, which were performed by the famous artists like Yolanda Adams, Joan Baez, Natalie Cole, Bob Dylan, Smokey Robinson and many others.
All these songs were sung at the civil rights rallies in the early 1960s and inspired many people to resist inequity. Let`s find out more about these protests called the Civil Rights Movement.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, American civil rights movement was a
nonviolent protest movement against "racial segregation and discrimination in the southern
United States of the 1950s and`60s, which was victorious". Through nonviolent protests, which were inspired and supported by many African American entertainers, this movement "broke the pattern of public facilities' being segregated by the race and achieved the most important
breakthrough in equalrights legislation for African Americans since slavery times"(" American civil rights movement"). That is why Mr. Obama, the first AfricanAmerican president, who hosted that evening, in his opening remark said: "The civil rights movement was a movement sustained by music". The music, he said, "was inspired by the movement and gave strength in return" (Pareles).
Also, to participate in the concert a legendary folk singersongwriter Bob Dylan was
invited. He wrote and sang many Civil Rights Movement`s songs for example: "The Ballad of
Emmet Till," "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll," and "Only a Pawn in Their Game".
There were other musicians who regularly sang at civilrights rallies in the early 1960s, and who presented their songs from that period such as: Bernice Johnson Reagon with the Freedom
Singers, Jennifer Hudson, the Blind Boys of Alabama and the Howard University Choir.
That day at the White House Joan Baez was with the song "We Shall Overcome" that
was the anthem of the movement during 1960s. Joan Baez a folksinger, songwriter, musician, activist, who sang this song at rallies, used very emotional and hopeful words and phrases to express the depth of her feelings, such as: deep in my heart, I do believe, some day, we'll walk hand in hand, we shall live in peace, we shall all be free, we are not afraid, etc. In Jon Pareles`s opinion, a music reviewer for The New York Times, she "called for a sing along from the invited audience, and got one. She recalled the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King`s deciding to protest the

text: Dear all: The following info is provided in the category Rare Plants of this site Chileflora that is being promoted here. "These are plants which are rare and/or endangered in Chile. You can help preserve rare plants by planting and propagating them, so as to create a genetic pool back-up in case the Chilean wild populations go extinct.. " In other words., you can help preserve these plants from extinction by purchasing seed from them. These are very local and rare species and the world is upside down if one helps prevent the extinction of a species by making money out of their precious and invaluable seed. Along this, have you ever heard of Jane Goodall selling chimpanzee meat or Diane Fossey trading gorilla skins to fund their research? Or to help preserve "these species from extinction". This is not serious. Reputable bulb seed tradespeople like the Saunders or the McMasters among others state clearly that they DO NO SELL seed of rare or endangered species. It seems doubt is cast on Osmani Baullosa's seed business. Many of us have tried their seed or seed grown bulbs. Quality of the seed is superb, with a 100% germination, a situation only possible when seed is very fresh. And there have been no problems others than those caused by postage problems that are outside Mr. Baullosa or any other's sphere of action. For instance. a letter from England to France takes 4 days to reach here, Argentina. A letter from such neighboring countries as Chile or Brazil has taken 40 days! From the States it can take from 6 to 35 days. These circumstances are beyond possible solution and the only resource is patience. Material from Mr. Baullosa was always received in due course and the delays were of course not in his power. I know others have enjoyed a similar satisfactory service from him.
