first_imgWho’d have ever thought collards had an interesting history dating back to prehistorictimes? That’s right. Washed down, cooked up, piled up by the side of a slab of cornbread:collards.One of the most primitive members of the cabbage group, these leafy, nonheadingcabbages originated in the eastern Mediterranean. They are much like the wild forms ofcabbage in Asia Minor first used for food in prehistoric times.Collards were cultivated by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and either the Romans or theCelts introduced them to Britain and France. They reached the British Isles in 400 B.C.The first mention of collards in America was in 1669. But they may have been here muchearlier.Collards (also known as tree cabbage or nonheading cabbage) are cool-season vegetablegreens rich in vitamins and minerals. They grow better in warm weather and can toleratemore cold weather in the late fall than any other member of the cabbage family.Popular substitutes for cabbage in the South, collards can also be grown in northernareas because of their tolerance to frost. They’re close kin to kale.Two good varieties grow especially well in Georgia.The first, Georgia, takes 75 days to mature. It has large, crumpled, blue-green leaves,is tolerant to heat and cold and offers good yields.Vates also takes 75 days to mature. It has large, crumpled, dark green leaves, holdscolor in cold weather, resists bolting and offers good yields.Plant collards in early spring for summer harvest and again in midsummer for fall andearly winter harvest.For best results, sow seed one-quarter to one-half inch deep. Thin seedlings to 6 to 12inches apart to allow enough space for the plants to mature. You can eat the thinnedplants.Allow at least 3 feet between rows, because the plants become quite large. For earlyproduction in fall or spring, use transplants.If you keep the soil moist enough during hot spells in the summer, collards willproduce an abundant harvest.All green parts of the plant are edible. You may harvest them anytime during thegrowing season. Plants grown 6 inches apart can be cut to the ground when they get 6 to 10inches tall.As an alternative way to harvest, pick the large leaves when the plants are 10 to 12inches high. This allows the younger leaves to develop for later use.Some gardeners prefer the young, tender leaves and cut the inner rosette of younggrowth. You can blanch this “loose head” by tying the outer leaves together tokeep out the sun.Don’t worry about fall frost. It only improves the flavor.last_img read more

Clinton Hails Cholera Progress in Haiti

first_imgBy Dialogo February 01, 2011 Touring a cholera clinic on 30 January, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hailed the news that the wave of cholera that has killed more than 4,000 Haitians since October is receding. “I want to first of all express my great appreciation and admiration for everyone working to stem and then reverse the cholera epidemic,” Clinton said in baking heat outside the tent-like structure. She reiterated the US commitment to Haitians’ health needs “and other needs that are present and in many ways exacerbated by the continuing efforts at reconstruction and redevelopment following the earthquake.” “It’s a good news story to the extent that the numbers are diminishing but it’s by no means over. They are still admitting patients, as they did today,” the chief US diplomat said during her 15-minute tour. “Thankfully we are better equipped to be able to save lives and limit the fatalities but we have a long way to go, just as we have a long way to go with our work in Haiti,” she said. Steven Smith, a health official at the US embassy, told Clinton that “we’re seeing a decrease in the number of cholera cases. Even more important, we’re seeing a decrease in the number of fatalities.” But he said there were still hundreds of new cases a day countrywide. The number of new patients at the Cholera Treatment Center, managed by US government grantee Partners in Health, has been reduced by half to about 40 per day since the start of the epidemic, a State Department official said. Five patients have died at the clinic, the official said. The death toll from Haiti’s cholera epidemic is 4,030, the Haitian health ministry said on 20 January, while the number of cholera cases totaled 209,034 as of the 24th. The severity of the epidemic has diminished, but the ministry’s figures show that Haitians are still dying from the bacterial infection, which can strike swiftly with intense diarrhea and vomiting leading to dehydration.last_img read more

UK insurance industry commits £25bn to domestic infrastructure

first_imgSix of Britain’s largest insurance companies have committed £25bn (€30bn) to domestic infrastructure projects, an allocation made possible due to clarity over the implementation of Solvency II regulations, according to the UK government.Publishing a revised National Infrastructure Plan (NIP), the UK Treasury outlined a £375bn pipeline of potential projects, with chief secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander saying the insurance sector’s commitments marked a “massive vote of confidence” in the domestic economy.The Association of British Insurers’ director general Otto Thoresen noted that the sector had a key role to play as a provider of long-term capital.“Providing capital for infrastructure projects will help drive a competitive, healthy and resilient UK economy,” he added. The government said Aviva, Friends Life, Legal & General, Prudential, Scottish Widows and Standard Life had agreed to invest “at least” £25bn over the next five years.“Suitable projects will include, but not be limited to, those included in the National Infrastructure Plan 2013 and can include major infrastructure projects led by private sector sponsors,” the Treasury said in a policy document released alongside the NIP.The document, ‘The UK Insurance Growth Action Plan’, also said that, in the wake of concluded negotiations at the European level over Solvency II – a likely reference to the recent agreement over the Omnibus II Directive – the industry now had sufficient clarity to make long-term commitments.“In line with the government’s broader transposition policy,” the document continued, “and given that Solvency II is maximum harmonising, implementation will be fully consistent with the Directive and not go beyond it – implementation will be through a direct copy-out approach where possible, avoiding gold plating.”To coincide with the publication of the NIP, the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) confirmed it was in final negotiations with an asset manager to assume responsibility for the equity portfolio of its Pensions Infrastructure Platform (PIP).The manager, Dalmore Capital, currently advises and manages £430m in UK assets, the NAPF noted.Its statement added: “Following significant interest, and a rigorous selection process, asset managers were shortlisted for a number of investment mandates. “Discussions are still ongoing regarding the appointment of investment managers for the remaining mandates.”The PIP launched its manager selection process in May, having attracted tentative commitments of £1bn from 10 UK pension funds.,WebsitesWe are not responsible for the content of external sitesLink to the UK National Infrastructure PlanLink to ‘The UK Insurance Growth Action Plan’ policy documentlast_img read more

IPE Views: Hedge fund fees

2020-09-29

first_imgIPE contributing editor Joseph Mariathasan explores whether hedge funds can justify their feesHedge funds have always been a controversial area for pension fund investment. Quite apart from the opaque nature of many strategies and the esoteric nature of where the returns are supposedly coming from, the traditional fee structure of 2% management plus 20% performance hits you in the face.It should be a worrying time for the hedge fund industry. Last year saw the largest US pension scheme, CalPERS, pulling out of all hedge funds, and this year has already seen PFZW, the second-largest pension scheme in the Netherlands, following suit. In both cases, high fees were a major factor, and they were amongst the first pension funds in their markets to invest in hedge funds.But the obvious question to ask is why did they only just recently realise the fee rates were unacceptable? The answer must be that is because hedge fund performance in recent years has lagged the equity markets by a long way – in 2013, the S&P 500 returned 30% whilst the HFRI, a well-known hedge fund benchmark index, had just a 9% return. Can hedge funds justify the fees? The answer appears to be many certainly don’t whilst a few may. Many sources of hedge fund returns are systematic, such as momentum and volatility, and these are easily accessible via approaches that can be described as ‘alternative beta’. With an increasing acceptance of these return drivers behind many hedge fund strategies, there is also an increasing reluctance to pay high fees for accessing them. Indeed, companies such as Metzler Asset Management are offering access to such strategies at conventional fee rates. It is not surprising that there appears to be a strong downward trend in fees.Perhaps the question a pension fund needs to ask is how much should they be prepared to pay for specific hedge fund strategies in their portfolios. There are two ways a pension fund can look at this, though. One is to ask how much effort and cost is incurred by a fund manager in offering a specific strategy, which should be reflected in the base management fee. On this basis, quantitative market neutral and systematic global macro strategies should deserve higher fees because of their higher cost base arising from the high level of technology and data required.The other approach is to take the view that what matters to a pension fund is gaining access to asset classes that are less correlated to the traditional ones. Aberdeen Asset Management’s hedge-fund-of-funds team makes this case and argues that, when the hedge fund industry was small and less competitive, managers generally generated absolute returns. The dramatic increase in size of the industry has meant many strategies now have a high beta with respect to traditional asset classes, and Aberdeen would not be prepared to pay high levels of fees for them.  For a pension fund, fee levels are ultimately a function of how useful a hedge fund strategy is in terms of its ability to offer diversification from its traditional asset classes and the relative bargaining power of investors versus the managers. The actual resources required are just a bargaining chip managers can use, but for a pension fund, that is someone else’s problem! What should be addressed, though, is against what benchmark comparisons performance should be judged against to justify the fees. Hedge fund strategies usually do not claim to be able to outperform equities at the height of a bull market, but often the claim is made that the strategy can match equity performance with lower volatility. A short-term performance comparison would therefore be an invalid approach.Aberdeen has undertaken some analysis on costs versus performance and correlations with traditional asset classes, and it argues that it really can be beneficial to pay for access to some higher-cost products. It finds that discretionary global macro, fixed income relative value and multi-strategy offer relatively attractive risk/return profiles, while the profiles of long/short equity quantitative, systematic global macro and event-driven equity are less so.It has also found evidence that more costly funds in certain strategies are, on average, producing better risk-adjusted results than their cheaper peers. This applies to global macro, fixed income relative value, quantitative and multi-strategy. What it concludes is that, for these strategies, it really can be beneficial to pay for access to higher-cost products in contrast to other strategies such as the equity-orientated event-driven and long/short equity, where its analysis suggests there is less value added by the more expensive managers. Whilst the more sophisticated pension funds may take heed of this analysis, I suspect for many wishing to invest in hedge funds, it may be cheaper just to invest in an alternative beta index product.Joseph Mariathasan is a contributing editor at IPElast_img read more

We’ll keep an eye on the issue in NZ.“”The issue is no longer about term-time holidays,” he said. “It is about the state taking the rights of parents away from making decisions about their children.”Parents who take their children out of school for term time holidays can be prosecuted, the Supreme Court has ruled as a “stubborn” father lost his landmark case on Thursday whilst appealing to parents not to follow his example.Delivering their verdict, the judges ruled that Jon Platt, a businessman from the Isle of Wight who took his six-year-old daughter on a seven-day family trip in Florida in April 2015, should have paid a £120 fine for his daughter’s unauthorised absence.The judges said he had shown a “blatant disregard of school rules” and that his approach had been a “slap in the face” to “obedient” parents who abide by the law.Their ruling means that parents who take their children out of school on holiday – even if their child has regular attendance – can be prosecuted if they do not receive permission from the head teacher.Speaking in Parliament Square after the ruling, Mr Platt apologised to his wife for his stubbornness, adding that he was “not at all surprised” by the verdict.READ MORE: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/2017/04/06/term-time-holidays-supreme-court-rule-parents-can-legally-take/last_img read more
