Pioneer Natural Resources Company (PXD) vs. Hedge Fund Favorites in 2019
It seems that the masses and most of the financial media hate hedge funds and what they do, but why is this hatred of hedge funds so prominent? At the end of the day, these asset management firms do not gamble the hard-earned money of the people who are on the edge of poverty. Truth be told, most hedge fund managers and other smaller players within this industry are very smart and skilled investors. Of course, they may also make wrong bets in some instances, but no one knows what the future holds and how market participants will react to the bountiful news that floods in each day. The Standard and Poor's 500 Total Return Index ETFs returned approximately 31% in 2019 (through December 23rd). Conversely, hedge funds' top 20 large-cap stock picks generated a return of 41.1% during the same period, with the majority of these stock picks outperforming the broader market benchmark. Coincidence? It might happen to be so, but it is unlikely. Our research covering the last 18 years indicates that hedge funds' consensus stock picks generate superior risk-adjusted returns. That's why we believe it isn't a waste of time to check out hedge fund sentiment before you invest in a stock like Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE:PXD).
Is Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE:PXD) the right investment to pursue these days? Money managers are turning less bullish. The number of long hedge fund bets were cut by 1 in recent months. Our calculations also showed that PXD isn't among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds (click for Q3 rankings and see the video at the end of this article for Q2 rankings).
If you'd ask most market participants, hedge funds are viewed as unimportant, outdated financial tools of years past. While there are over 8000 funds in operation at present, Our experts choose to focus on the masters of this group, approximately 750 funds. These money managers command bulk of all hedge funds' total asset base, and by shadowing their highest performing investments, Insider Monkey has identified a number of investment strategies that have historically defeated the S&P 500 index. Insider Monkey's flagship short hedge fund strategy beat the S&P 500 short ETFs by around 20 percentage points annually since its inception in May 2014. Our portfolio of short stocks lost 27.8% since February 2017 (through November 21st) even though the market was up more than 39% during the same period. We just shared a list of 7 short targets in our latest quarterly update .
Phill Gross of Adage Capital Management
We leave no stone unturned when looking for the next great investment idea. For example Discover is offering this insane cashback card, so we look into shorting the stock. One of the most bullish analysts in America just put his money where his mouth is. He says, "I'm investing more today than I did back in early 2009." So we check out his pitch. We read hedge fund investor letters and listen to stock pitches at hedge fund conferences. We even check out this option genius' weekly trade ideas. This December, we recommended Adams Energy as a one-way bet based on an under-the-radar fund manager's investor letter and the stock already gained 20 percent. Now we're going to take a peek at the fresh hedge fund action regarding Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE:PXD).
What does smart money think about Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE:PXD)?
At Q3's end, a total of 47 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey were bullish on this stock, a change of -2% from one quarter earlier. On the other hand, there were a total of 58 hedge funds with a bullish position in PXD a year ago. With the smart money's capital changing hands, there exists a few noteworthy hedge fund managers who were upping their stakes meaningfully (or already accumulated large positions).
Of the funds tracked by Insider Monkey, Abrams Bison Investments, managed by Gavin M. Abrams, holds the biggest position in Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE:PXD). Abrams Bison Investments has a $188.7 million position in the stock, comprising 18.8% of its 13F portfolio. On Abrams Bison Investments's heels is Phill Gross and Robert Atchinson of Adage Capital Management, with a $169.6 million position; 0.4% of its 13F portfolio is allocated to the stock. Remaining peers with similar optimism include Steve Cohen's Point72 Asset Management, Todd J. Kantor's Encompass Capital Advisors and John W. Rogers's Ariel Investments. In terms of the portfolio weights assigned to each position Abrams Bison Investments allocated the biggest weight to Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE:PXD), around 18.84% of its 13F portfolio. Covalent Capital Partners is also relatively very bullish on the stock, designating 13.84 percent of its 13F equity portfolio to PXD.
Because Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE:PXD) has faced declining sentiment from hedge fund managers, it's easy to see that there was a specific group of fund managers that elected to cut their full holdings last quarter. It's worth mentioning that Ken Griffin's Citadel Investment Group dumped the biggest stake of the 750 funds tracked by Insider Monkey, totaling close to $19.1 million in call options, and Israel Englander's Millennium Management was right behind this move, as the fund cut about $14.4 million worth. These moves are intriguing to say the least, as aggregate hedge fund interest dropped by 1 funds last quarter.
Let's also examine hedge fund activity in other stocks – not necessarily in the same industry as Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE:PXD) but similarly valued. We will take a look at AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE:AME), Corteva, Inc. (NYSE:CTVA), Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:TME), and Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZM). This group of stocks' market values are similar to PXD's market value.
AME 29 963376 -2
CTVA 35 457542 -1
TME 15 378566 4
ZM 30 468958 -2
As you can see these stocks had an average of 27.25 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $567 million. That figure was $1014 million in PXD's case. Corteva, Inc. (NYSE:CTVA) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:TME) is the least popular one with only 15 bullish hedge fund positions. Compared to these stocks Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE:PXD) is more popular among hedge funds. Our calculations showed that top 20 most popular stocks among hedge funds returned 41.1% in 2019 through December 23rd and outperformed the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) by 10.1 percentage points. Unfortunately PXD wasn't nearly as popular as these 20 stocks and hedge funds that were betting on PXD were disappointed as the stock returned 15.4% so far in 2019 (through 12/23) and trailed the market. If you are interested in investing in large cap stocks with huge upside potential, you should check out the top 20 most popular stocks among hedge funds as 65 percent of these stocks already outperformed the market in 2019.

WTR Project Background Information

Guestbook/Comments
When Thunder Rolled featuring Ed Rasimus is an independent add-for Thirdwire proudly being developed by the WTR Production Team
BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT THE WHEN THUNDER ROLLED PROJECT
NO THREAT OF WAR…
At just 23 years-old, Ed Rasimus finished in the top 10 out of 350 graduates at pilot training school allowing him first choice of aircraft assignments. At a time when there was a deceptive no threat of war, Ed chose only one of nine slots available for the F-105D Thunderchief, a decision that would forever define his destiny. For in May 1966, he was reassigned to the 421st Tactical Fighter Squadron at Korat Royal Thai Air Base to fly the F-105D in the Air War against North Vietnam. Ed flew in combat from May to November of 1966 during Operation Rolling Thunder, at a time when for every five pilots that started the Tour, three would not complete it…
Ed Rasimus survived. Ed was among the few courageous, skilled and lucky souls that went on to complete One Hundred missions during his tour and live to tell about it. Fortunately, those experiences and memories have been chronicled in his riveting memoir, "When Thunder Rolled", a classic "must read" for every enthusiast.
On behalf of the entire When Thunder Rolled (WTR) Production Team
We are pleased to introduce our commercial add-on project currently in-development. The project leverages Thirdwire's Vietnam-based combat flight simulator engine. We aspire to lift the words from "When Thunder Rolled" off their pages and transform them into a unique player experience that allows you to re-live the fear, excitement and experience of Ed's most notable missions.
This add-on has a unique and niche focus; it won't offer an ability to jump into dozens of combat aircraft whenever you want so you can go play mission "hero". Instead, it will offer a unique perspective to get behind the eyes and into the thoughts of a fighter pilot as Ed (in his own words) makes the life changing "…transition from fear to effectiveness." In order to succeed, you need to carry out your orders in your assigned aircraft, and you have to do it the way the real pilots did, overcoming your fear and surviving one mission at a time…
The When Thunder Rolled Production Team is honored to be personally trusted and supported by a decorated Vietnam fighter pilot veteran to take on this opportunity, and have a passion to recreate Ed's experiences to the best of our ability. We sincerely hope our efforts will live up to your expectations, and look forward to continuing to share development updates with you in the near future.
Our Spirit of Development
This release is planned to be "mod friendly", not restricting you to just what we've given you "in the box." We're driven to produce a flexible and exciting experience unlike any other. If you have the time, skills and commitment to help us realize this vision, we'd like to hear from you! Please check the FAQs for more information and contact us if you are interested in contributing - thanks for your consideration...
The When Thunder Rolled Project is currently being developed in proud partnership:
In Memoriam of Major Edward J. Rasimus (USAF, Retired) – Ed Rasimus our personal advisor, supporter, mentor and inspiration for the project, whose bravery and commitment to "completing just one more mission" exemplifies the spirit of all those who put their life on the line in the name of freedom. God Speed with you Always Ed, may you rest in peace and thank you for making a difference in all the lives you've touched....
The When Thunder Rolled (WTR) Production Team – the finest talented damn individuals from all over the world that have come together on this team to support the vision. These are the guys who said they would, kept their word, and then delivered. I am humbled, proud and honored by their support and faith in the project - a project that would be just an unfulfilled vision without them.
The National Technical Information Service Library of Commerce – for their partnership and advisory services allowing us an accessible source of much needed research information and data.
The United States Air Force and the United States Air Force Museum Archives – for providing first-hand veteran accounts and an accessible source of much needed research information and data.
Tsuyoshi Kawahito ("TK") and Thirdwire Productions – for their official project approval and support, directly from the personal developer and creator of the Thirdwire combat engine himself, we salute you!

Dr Tony Parker heads the tissue repair and regeneration program, with research focusing on the biochemical implications of musculoskeletal and skin tissue injury, recovery processes and health-promoting physical activity using state-of-the-art instrumentation and analytical techniques.
The research conducted by this area is focussed on tissue remodelling, especially as it pertains to extracellular environments and in particular, the interactions of growth factors and the extracellular matrix (ECM).
The research activity ranges from basic studies on pathogenesis, the molecular mechanisms underpinning these, through to targeted molecular, biochemical and cellular manipulation of cells and tissue to enable repair and regeneration. This has led to the generation of new devices and therapies, as well as prognostic and diagnostic tools to monitor tissue damage and repair.
Our researchers pursue interdisciplinary research, believing that innovative solutions are found at the interface between disciplines. Researchers have highly productive linkages with mathematical modellers, bio-informaticians, bio-engineers, biomaterials scientists, health economics experts, nurses and clinical specialists, and with biotechnology companies and health care service providers. These linkages have spanned the globe and involve industry partners, universities, hospitals and international research institutes.

Q: ngAnimate 1.2 with ngShow/ngHide I am trying to add CSS3 transitions to my code, but is confused over the meaning of these classes:
.ng-hide-add
.ng-hide-active

and
.ng-hide-remove
.ng-hide-remove-active

I was trying to add a simple ease-in & ease-out with this, but not sure which are the classes that I should add that to!

A: Coplex solution
There is complette solution with animation hide/show (complex example):
https://github.com/mirekh/Todolist_app_bootstrap
or try the example below.
1. HTML file
1.1. Put into the body of file index.html

/* File index.html (body) */

    Click this: <input type="checkbox" ng-model="checked">

        I show up when your checkbox is checked.

        I hide when your checkbox is checked.

Keep in mind 2 lines:
    +
    + <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/animation.css"/>
1.2. Complette index.html
Complette index.html looks like this:

/* File index.html */

    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Todolist AngularJS App</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/app.css"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/animation.css"/>

2. CSS file

/* File: animations.css */

.animate-show {
    -webkit-transition:all linear 0.5s;
    transition:all linear 0.5s;
    line-height:20px;
    opacity:1;
    padding:10px;
    border:1px solid black;
    background:white;
}

.animate-show.ng-hide-add,
.animate-show.ng-hide-remove {
    display:block!important;
}

.animate-show.ng-hide {
    line-height:0;
    opacity:0;
    padding:0 10px;
}

.check-element {
    padding:10px;
    border:1px solid black;
    background:white;
}

A: add the animate-show class on element to show/hide
add ng:show argument with corresponding expression

    My content hide and show.

CM interacts with fifty students from the northeastern states
Chief Minister Vijaybhai Rupani interacted with 50 students from north eastern states who are on a trip to Gujarat under National interactive tour. The Assam Rifles, the oldest regiment of the Indian Army, has organized a National Interactive Tour this year for about 50 students from rural schools in Gujarat. While interacting with students at his residence in Gandhinagar, Chief Minister expressed the belief that the culture of unity in diversity and 'Ek Bharat, Shreshth Bharat' gets new impetus from the cultural tours of students between different states.
In an interesting dialogue with these children, the Chief Minister highlighted the cultural and historical ties between the two regions by giving the role of Gujarat being the land of Lord Krishna while the northeastern state is the land of Rukmani. He also briefed the children about importance places of Gujarat including Porbandar, the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi, the world's tallest statue of Sardar sahib-the Statue of Unity. These children also expressed their happiness that this trip to Gujarat has become a real experience for them to know about states development.
The main purpose of this tour is to give in-depth knowledge of the development and plans of other states of the country to the students of the hinterland villages of the underdeveloped regions-states children of various inland schools of North-Eastern States like Mizoram, Manipur, Meghalaya, Tripura, Assam and Nagaland. Led by Major Rohan of Assam Rifles, students will also visited places like Porbandar, Okha Coastguard Center, Dwarikadhish Temple during their Gujarat tour and then return to Guwahati after completing their journey.

With a melodious sound akin to that found in an orchestra's percussion family, it seems our planet could be teaming up with Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn to belt out tunes to the rest of the Solar System, as new research has shown that when struck by powerful impulses such as plasma jets, the protective magnetic bubble surrounding our planet sounds like a enormous drum.
Theoretically proposed over 45 years ago, scientists have long thought that the abrupt boundary between Earth's magnetic field and the solar wind – the magnetopause – acted much like the top of a drum head when so-called magnetosonic waves pulsed along it.
The waves act essentially like sound waves and move through a medium in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of propagation of the wave. If you think of how the coils in a stretched slinky toy increase and decrease as you pull it apart and let it go, the effect is pretty much the same.
In the case of our planet, the slinky's two ends represent the Earth's magnetic poles and they act as the rim or edge of the drum to keep the wave vibrating back and fourth along the surface of the magnetopause (or drum head). The resulting sound though is less like a drum and more like the noise a giant jelly might make as it wobbles around and you stuck your head inside to listen. Or what you might hear if you jumped up and down on a large water bed or on a trampoline underwater.
However despite knowing that the world's biggest drum is the Earth itself, it has been very hard to listen out for this peculiar sound in the last several decades. "Given the lack of evidence over the 45 years since they were proposed, there had been speculation that these drum-like vibrations might not occur at all," said Martin Archer, space physicist at Queen Mary University of London and lead author of the new paper.
But, with the well-placed alignment of five satellites from NASA's Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms, or THEMIS, mission, which just happened to be in the right place at the right time, eventually scientists were able to record the drum-like oscillations after a strong isolated plasma jet slammed into the magnetopause. The data helped solidify the theory and rule out all other possible explanations for the oscillations and the sound it created.
"The authors make great use of observations from a time early in the mission when the spacecraft followed each other along their mutual orbit like pearls on a string," said David Sibeck, THEMIS project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "In this fortunate case, the THEMIS spacecraft were in just the right place to see the drumstick and hear the drum."
This discovery is key to understanding the mechanics of Earth's protective bubble, as while the wave itself remains on the magnetopause's surface, the vibrations ultimately work their way down into the inner magnetosphere triggering ultra-low frequency waves, which affect things like radiation belts, the aurora, and even the ionosphere, said Archer.
Though it goes without saying that we have a lot on this planet that the magnetopause protects – it helps keep our satellites safe on the edge of space and it also helps preserve our planet from the harmful radiation of the solar wind.
Understanding all that is does and how it behaves will not only benefit our planet but it may also help researchers spot this phenomenon on other planets with magnetospheres, like Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury, and what effect the waves may have in those systems.

The USMLE program recommends a minimum passing level for each Step examination. The USMLE Step Committees are responsible for establishing and monitoring these standards, and are asked to complete an in-depth review of each examination every three to four years.
The Step 2 Committee is scheduled to review the minimum passing level for the USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS) examination at its meeting on December 18, 2012. In addition to meeting the requirement of a periodic in-depth review of standards, this effort is prompted by previously announced changes to the exam, which include a redesigned Communication and Interpersonal Skills subcomponent as well as a redesigned Patient Note.
Score precision and its effect on the pass/fail outcome.
The decision of the Step 2 Committee will be published on Medicalopedia after the meeting. If the Committee determines that a change to the minimum passing level is appropriate, the new recommended minimum passing level will become effective for all examinees who take a Step 2 CS examination on or after January 1, 2013.
The USMLE Step Committees have already changed the minimum passing score for USMLE Step 2 CK and USMLE Composite Committee divided Step 3 into two parts earlier this year.

Nobel awarded to Charles Rice for hepatitis C discoveries at Washington University School of Medicine
The 2020 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded Monday, Oct. 5, to three scientists for groundbreaking research that led to the discovery of the hepatitis C virus, an insidious and deadly blood-borne virus. One of those scientists – virologist Charles M. Rice, PhD – conducted his seminal work while on the faculty of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis from 1986 to 2001. Rice, now at Rockefeller University in New York City, was awarded the prize along with Harvey J. Alter, MD, of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Michael Houghton, PhD, of the University of Alberta in Canada.
In announcing the prize, the Nobel Assembly said the hepatitis C discovery had "made possible blood tests and new medicines that have saved millions of lives."
Rice remains an adjunct professor in the Department of Molecular Microbiology at the School of Medicine.
He described his surprise in getting a phone call at 4:30 a.m. notifying him of the award. When the phone rang, Rice assumed it was a prank call and let it go. But when the phone rang a second time, he answered. "… [T]here was a voice with a Swedish accent on the phone…When he mentioned that my friends and colleagues Harvey Alter and Mike Houghton were also being recognized with this prize, it started to sink in that it might actually be real," Rice said.
An estimated 71 million people have chronic hepatitis C virus infection, according to the World Health Organization. A significant number of those who are chronically infected will develop liver cancer or cirrhosis, scarring of the liver caused by long-term liver damage.
"Charlie is an absolutely brilliant scientist and a wonderful human being who has made a deep impression on all those who have worked with him," said David H. Perlmutter, MD, executive vice chancellor for medical affairs and the George and Carol Bauer Dean of Washington University School of Medicine. "His work on hepatitis C has improved the lives of so many people, and he represents the best of what Washington University stands for."
Before the discovery of the hepatitis C virus, physicians and researchers were concerned by unexplained cases of chronic hepatitis that developed years or decades after blood transfusions. Other forms of hepatitis had been ruled out as the cause. Hepatitis A does not spread through the blood, and while hepatitis B does, a blood test and vaccine had been developed to prevent such cases. Still, the majority of blood-borne hepatitis remained unexplained.
According to the Nobel Assembly, Alter's methodical studies demonstrated that an unknown virus was a common cause of chronic hepatitis, and Houghton used an untested strategy to isolate the genome of the new virus, which was named hepatitis C virus. Rice's critical studies provided the final evidence showing that hepatitis C virus alone could cause the unexplained cases of hepatitis following blood transfusions.
The Nobel Laureates' discovery of hepatitis C virus is a landmark achievement in the ongoing battle against viral diseases, the Nobel Assembly said in a statement. "Thanks to their discovery, highly sensitive blood tests for the virus are now available, and these have essentially eliminated post-transfusion hepatitis in many parts of the world, greatly improving global health. Their discovery also allowed the rapid development of antiviral drugs directed at hepatitis C. For the first time in history, the disease can now be cured, raising hopes of eradicating hepatitis C virus from the world population. To achieve this goal, international efforts facilitating blood testing and making antiviral drugs available across the globe will be required."
Added Rice: "Winning a prize is one thing, but the prize for all of us working in this field…is just to have been a part of going from, basically, a mystery virus to having cocktails of drugs that can eliminate the virus without any side effects in more than 95% of people. At least in my case, anything we can contribute to this comes from an intrinsic curiosity about viruses… and the chance opportunity of having an important human pathogen land in your family of viruses that you happen to be studying and go from, basically, the beginning to where it can be successfully treated. It's a rare treat for a basic scientist."
Rice is the 19th scientist associated with Washington University School of Medicine to be honored with the Nobel Prize.
"Charlie Rice is an amazing person, a spectacular scientist, and a wonderful colleague," said Scott J. Hultgren, PhD, the Helen L. Stoever Professor of Molecular Microbiology. "He did work that led to the Nobel Prize here in the Department of Molecular Microbiology, creating the first infectious viral genome for in vitro replication. He was a phenomenal leader and colleague here at Washington University."
Added Washington University collaborator Michael S. Diamond: "Dr. Rice for many decades has been a pioneer in the field of molecular biology and genetics of many emerging RNA viruses including flaviviruses, alphaviruses, and hepaciviruses," said Diamond, MD, PhD, the Herbert S. Gasser Professor of Medicine. "His seminal studies on hepatitis C virus directly led to the screening and identification of direct-acting antiviral drugs that have resulted in a cure for so many people around the world. His creative research on cellular host defense responses to viruses have triggered the development of new classes of host-directed antiviral agents. Moreover, he has mentored and trained a generation of virologists who are now at the vanguard of the field. This is truly a deserving honor for a visionary scientist."
Born in Sacramento, Calif., in 1952, Rice received his PhD in biochemistry in 1981 from the California Institute of Technology, where he was a postdoctoral research fellow from 1981 to 1985. After his 14 years at the School of Medicine, Rice moved to Rockefeller, where he now is the scientific and executive director of the Center for the Study of Hepatitis C, an interdisciplinary center established jointly by The Rockefeller University, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, and Weill Cornell Medicine.
He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His previous awards include the 2007 M.W. Beijerinck Virology Prize, the 2015 Robert Koch Award, the 2016 InBev-Baillet Latour Health Prize, and the 2016 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award.

The new phrase at OTC is "Graduate with 8". The meaning behind it is for students to get the most of their education and apply themselves to get ASE certified with the goal of achieving eight certifications by graduation.
Ohio Tech expect students to achieve a higher level than just that of a basic automotive mechanic school, we strive to see our students achieve career success in a professional technician and that includes gaining many certifications and recognitions while in their program. OTC places a high value on these certifications and will reimburse its students for any ASE certification tests taken and passed.
OTC's Evor Kerr of THE AT207 automotive training class officially finished his training this week and has successfully passed his A1-A8 ASE certification tests. Evor started taking the tests back in March of this year and took his last one on July 21st.
He says the hardest one for him to pass was Engine Performance and the easiest one was Steering & Suspension.
OTC congratulates Evor on his successful completion of OTC's Complete Automotive Technology program, his 8 ASE certifications, and being an outstanding student and role model while at Ohio Technical College. His presence will be missed.
We wish him the best of luck in his career as an automotive technician and openly welcome him and all of our August graduates, into the OTC Alumni family.


On October 28, the IRS released its annual revenue procedure making inflation adjustments for various credits and other tax items (Rev. Proc. 2010-40). However, unlike in past years, the guidance does not include updated tax rate tables or updated amounts for the child tax credit, Hope scholarship and lifetime learning credits, earned income credit, standard deduction, overall limit on itemized deductions, qualified transportation fringe benefits, personal exemption, or interest on education loans. The IRS says it will address those inflation adjustments in future guidance.
The IRS also released the 2011 pension plan limitations on the same day (IR-2010-108).
Because inflation has been minimal, many of the inflation-adjusted numbers are unchanged from 2010 or have been adjusted only slightly.
The revenue procedure includes updated amounts for the kiddie tax, the adoption credit, the low-income housing credit, the annual gift tax exclusion ($13,000 for 2011), and 25 other items. The adjusted amounts are generally effective for tax years beginning in 2011.
The elective deferral (contribution) limit for employees who participate in Sec. 401(k), 403(b), or 457(b) plans and the federal government's Thrift Savings Plan remains unchanged at $16,500. The catch-up contribution limit under those plans for individuals aged 50 and over remains unchanged at $5,500.


This N.Y. Times video of the Bedouin inhabitants of Al Araqeeb, chronicles the violent extinction of their village and their struggle to revive it. I've posted here on the deeply moving story filled with the barbarity of 1,500 Israeli soldiers with helicopters and other advanced weaponry being deployed to roust 400 poor Israeli Bedouins from the ancestral land. But the dogged determination of the victims not to accede to the thief attempting to steal their inheritance from them, is riveting.
In 1948, Israel disappeared anywhere from 700,000 to 1-million Palestinian residents in the Nakba. Afterward, they systematically erased their villages and any sign of their former existence. As if this wasn't bad enough, the Bedouin actually have always been loyal citizens, never viewed by the State as a threat. Those who enlist in the army are known as some of its best trackers, protecting Israel from terrorist infiltrators. And this is how a grateful state repays their loyalty. It steals their land, sending them to live in official Bedouin "reservations," in which they are divorced from everything they hold dear.
What clearer use of the term ethnic cleansing can there be but in this stem and branch uprooting of this indigenous population from its lands by the Israeli government? A shande fahr di Yidn ("a shame in front of the Jews").
Who do they think they're foolin', Richard? What indication is there anywhere, that they even care? The Israeli government lies because it's never held to account for what it does; there's a tacit understanding that the lies are recognized as lies, but no one seems to care. Obama doesn't care, neither do the Arab leaders. The Israeli people don't care, either. So who's left?
so richard, you accept when the british occupied the land, and therefore land sales during that occupation are valid?
btw, how did the leader become wealthy? is it not true that he owns land (recognized by israel) in another part of the negev?

Voigt poised to entertain the crowd in California
"It's not only my job to ride my bike but to entertain the crowds and the people," Voigt said. "I will definitely try to go out and be great, and spectacular. Hopefully it all works out for me this week."

TOUR OF CALIFORNIA
13.05.2014 @ 22:55 Posted by Aleksandra Górska
Everyone's favorite Jens Voigt never denies that racing in North America is close to his heart, and rather unsurprisingly the German veteran plans to go on the attack during one of the upcoming five Tour of California stages, once again trying to please the crowd and satisfy sponsors while riding in a breakaway.
Voigt rode a good time trial yesterday, finishing ninth, 1:24 down on the unattainable Bradley Wiggins (Team Sky), what should be considered as a sign of an increasing form of the 42-year old German.
The Trek Factory Racing rider made it clear that stealing a show and, with some luck, a stage victory is his main intention in the Californian event. Voigt didn't pinpoint any particular stages, claiming that he will try to ride aggressively throughout next five days, but he hinted that today's mountaintop finish on Mount Diablo is not the most promising opportunity to make a good use of his strengths.
"I will definitely go for stage opportunities during the last five stages," Voigt told Cyclingnews. "I have looked at some of the stages that could present an opportunity for me; however, we always have to take it day-by-day."
With two team-mates places ahead of him in the general classification, including capable climber Markel Irizar, the 42-year old German claimed that despite his ambitions to ride aggressively and go for a stage victory, he intends to strongly support Trek Factory Racing leaders in their quest to finish high in the Tour of California overall standings.
"Stage 3 is the first hilltop finish, so I would need five minutes at the bottom of the climb in order to make it," Voigt said. "If I have the freedom to ride in a breakaway, I will, but it depends on whether or not the team wants me to stay with our captain or just go out there and have fun."
"It's not only my job to ride my bike but to entertain the crowds and the people," Voigt said. "This is a professional job and our sponsors are happy when they have their names and logos on national TV. I will definitely try to go out and be great, and spectacular. Hopefully it all works out for me this week."

Liem still in 11th place in Skilling Open rapid chess
By Dang Khoa &nbspNovember 23, 2020 | 07:33 pm PT
Grandmaster Le Quang Liem scored 2.5 points on the second day to remain in 11th place in the Skilling Open rapid chess tournament.
The Vietnamese (Elo 2,744) played with black pieces in the first match of the day against Hikaru Nakamura, the champ of the 2020 Speed Chess Championship Grand Prix. The American attacked right from the start but the 29-year-old defended accurately and gradually took the upper hand to score a win.
A screen shot of the online match between grandmaster Le Quang Liem and American player Hikaru Nakamura during the ongoing Skilling Open.
But the Vietnamese grandmaster lost his second game to Frenchman Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, earned 0.5 points after a tie game with India's Vidit Gujrathi and lost again to the U.S.'s Wesley So.
Liem garnered his second win for the day by edging out Russia's Peter Svidler to bag another point.
He is currently ranked 11th place in the 16-player Swiss league, the same standing as his first day, with a total of 4.5 points which is 0.5 points lower than 8th place player Azerbaijani Teimour Radjabov.
The second day on Tuesday morning Hanoi time wrapped up with the Netherlands's Anish Giri continues to top the chart with 6.5 points while Norway's Magnus Carlsen, the world champion, in third place with 6 points.
There are still time for Liem to make it to the top eight to qualify for the knock-out round. On the third day, he will face Russia's Ian Nepomniachtchi, Carlsen, Radjabov, Spain's David Antón Guijarro and Iran's Alireza Firouzja.
According to the tournament format, the time control is 15 minutes per player for the whole game. The players get 10 seconds added to the clock for every move they make.
The event, which ends December 1, is part of a series of 10 online tournaments in the Champions Chess Tour featuring the world's elite players and has prize money of $1.5 million

HSBC'S announcement that it is seriously considering shifting its global headquarters out of the UK is subtle as a sledgehammer. The statement coming from the bank's Scots-born chairman Douglas Flint a fortnight before a general election could be seen as the banking giant wanting to get some things off its chest.
And, if down the line, HSBC does relocate back to its original Hong Kong roots, the bank is cleared of any suggestion it made its decision because it was unhappy with the election result.
Flint cites regulatory and structural reforms in the UK as partly driving the corporate HQ review, but also the bank's concerns that the UK may quit the European Union.
His talk about HSBC having suffered reputation damage for recent scandals, such as suitcases of wonga leaving its Swiss operation in tax avoidance operations, is less relevant to the issue.
That reputational damage would have stuck wherever the bank lays its global head. In truth, HSBC may just have decided the game is not worth the candle in the UK as far as group domicile is concerned because the global centre of economic gravity is moving steadily eastwards and it should be where that action is.
The announcement of the review may be more about managing political and public expectations for a view the bank is already instinctively leaning to.
Its recent decision to relocate the head office of its UK retail bank to Birmingham by 2019 could also be interpreted as a move to soften the public relations blow of the bigger decision.
For sure, a global HQ switch would be a blow to the UK Exchequer, with the hefty tax take it has got used to from the group since it moved here with the acquisition of Midland Bank in 1992.
But that is not HSBC's problem. Perhaps another tipping point for the group's thinking is the coming implementation of the key recommendation of the Vickers review into banking – the call to "ring-fence" banks' retail business from their riskier investment operations.
HSBC has the biggest investment banking presence of any of Britain's big five banks. As such, with hindsight the financial crash of 2008 may have set the seeds for the UK and HSBC to eventually have a less close relationship.

CANT Z.1007 «Альціоне» («Рибалочка» ) — італійський середній бомбардувальник та торпедоносець, тримоторний моноплан дерев'яної конструкції. Розроблений конструкторами фірми CRDA під керівництвом Філіппо Цаппата.

Z.1007 пізніших модифікацій можна вважати кращим італійським бомбардувальником часів Другої світової війни, але дерев'яна конструкція погано підходила для масованого серійного виробництва і тому він використовувався паралельно з SM.79 «Sparviero».

Історія створення
В 1935 році на фірмі CRDA під керівництвом інженера Філіппо Цаппата почалась розробка перспективного дерев'яного бомбардувальника. При цьому новий літак будувався в двох варіантах — двомоторний, який отримав позначення Z.1011, і тримоторний з позначенням Z.1007. Обидва мали використовувати 12-ти циліндрові двигуни водяного охолодження Isotta Fraschini Asso XI RC 15 потужністю 840 к.с. Двомоторний варіант був завершений швидше і вже в березні 1936 року піднявся в повітря. Але його льотні характеристики були надто низькі і від двомоторної схеми відмовились.

Через рік, 16 березня 1937, в повітря піднявся і тримоторний Z.1007, при цьому двигуни були замінені на Asso XI RC 40 потужністю 900 к.с. і кращими висотними характеристиками. Ще до завершення тестів CRDA отримали замовлення на серійне виробництво, оскільки новий літак мав кращу аеродинаміку ніж SM.79 і потужніші двигуни.

Серійне виробництво почалось в січні 1939 року і тривало до серпня 1943. За цей час було виготовлено 580 літаків.

Основні модифікації

 Z.1007 — оснащувався двигунами Asso XI RC 40 потужністю 900 к.с. Захисне озброєння складалось з 12,7 мм кулемета в верхній турелі, і 7,7 мм в нижній. Маса бомбового навантаження — 800 кг. Екіпаж — 5 осіб. (34 екз.)
 Z.1007bis — оснащувався двигунами Piaggio P.XI RC40 потужністю 1000 к.с., а з літак 1941 року покращеними P.XIbis RC40. Збільшено розмах крил і фюзеляж, а з квітня 1940 року хвостове оперення замінене на двокілеве, ще пізніше додано бронювання і покращено бомбовий приціл. Захисне озброєння складалось з двох 12,7 мм кулеметів (в верхній і нижній турелях), і двох 7,7 мм кулеметів в бічних вікнах (з 1942 року теж замінені на 12,7 мм.). Маса бомбового навантаження — 1200 кг. (з березня 1941 добавлено нові точки підвіски бомб, що дозволило збільшити масу до 2200 кг.) (468 екз., з них 94 однокілеві)
 Z.1007ter — оснащувався двигунами Piaggio P.XIX RC45 потужністю 1160 к.с. Захисне озброєння — 4 12,7 мм кулемети (по одному в верхній, нижній і двох бічних турелях). Маса бомбового навантаження — 2200 кг. (68 екз.)

Тактико-технічні характеристики

Історія використання

Першою серією Z.1007 в 1939 році була оснащена 16-ий стормо (50-а і 51-а групи), але доволі швидко їх було замінено на Z.1007bis. До вступу Італії в війну було оснащено ще 47-й стормо (106-а і 107-а групи), але екіпажі все ще освоювали новий літак і перший бойовий виліт Z.1007 відбувся тільки 29 серпня 1940 року, коли 10 літаків 106-ї групи завдали удару по аеродрому на Мальті.

Для нападу на Грецію було виділено 47-й стормо і 50-у групу (загалом 44 Z.1007bis), а після початку бойових дій ще 41-у і 85-у групи. Таким чином Z.1007 став найчисельнішим бомбардувальником Італії в цій кампанії. На початку Z.1007 діяли порівняно великими групами: в нальоті на Салоніки було задіяно 27 літаків. Бойові втрати Z.1007 були мінімальними, швидкість і захисне озброєння захищали літаки від потенційного противника, але були проблеми з постачанням запчастин і матеріалів, тому до 40 % наявних літаків не були боєздатними.

6 квітня 1941 року Італія разом з Німеччиною напала на Югославію, італійські бомбардувальні загони залучались до бомбардувань аеродромів і портів. В перший день операції 49 Z.1007bis завдали удару по аеродрому Мостар. Після завершення операції, 50-у і 85-у групу було переведено на Родос, звідки вони прикривали десант на Крит, зокрема 21 травня 1941 року 5 Z.1007bis завдали удару по британському флоту і потопили есмінець «Джуно».

Одна ескадрилія Z.1007bis в середині жовтня 1940 року була переведена в Бельгію для нальотів на Британію, але був проведений тільки один такий виліт — 11 листопада, після чого ескадрилію було повернуто в Італію.

З червня 1941 року основною цілю для італійських бомбардувальників стала Мальта і конвої союзників, які її підтримували. Проти міста діяли 15-й стормо з Італії, і 50-та група з Сицилії. 51-а група базована на Сардинії перешкоджала конвоям які йшли з Гіблартару. Z.1007bis залучались до денних і нічних нальотів, останні були значно безпечнішими, оскільки висота польоту Z.1007bis була недосяжною для більшості британських нічних винищувачів. Але нічні рейди могли бути ефективними тільки проти стаціонарних цілей.

В квітні 1942 року 35-й стормо оснащений Z.1007bis було перекинуто в Киренаїку для підтримки наземних військ, але нестача запчастин і часті поломки значно обмежували кількість боєздатних літаків. В листопаді 1942 року, коли союзники проводили висадку в Марокко і атакували під Ель-Аламейном, в Північній Африці було тільки 40 боєздатних Z.1007, на Сицилії і Сардинії десять груп мали тільки 39 повністю боєготових літаків. Союзники почали захоплювати перевагу в повітрі і Z.1007 почали частіше використовувати для розвідки, а не бомбардувань.

Єдиним стормо, що дальше продовжував активні бомбардувальні місії був 30-й розташований на Родосі. Оснащений останніми модифікаціями Z.1007bis і Z.1007ter він завдавав ударів по складах і аеродромах в Лівані і Палестині. Проте після втрати Тунісу і висадки союзників на Сицилії його було переведено в Італію.

9 липня 1943 року Regia Aeronautica мала 85 боєздатних Z.1007 і активно використовувала їх проти військ союзників на Сицилії. Z.1007 здійснили приблизно три чверті всіх бомбардувальних вильотів італійської авіації, але понесли значні втрати — 16 серпня, коли острів було втрачено в строю залишалось тільки 19 Z.1007.

Після капітуляції Італії всі Z.1007 були переведені на Сардинію де ввійшли в склад 88-ї групи новостворених італійських ВПС. Група здійснила декілька бомбардувальних вильотів проти німецьких військ, але грудні 1943 її перевели на транспортні місії, зокрема місії постачання припасів югославським партизанам. Після війни Z.1007 ще деякий час використовувались як навчальні.

Німеччина захопила 22 Z.1007 коли окупувала Північну Італію, ще 17 Z.1007ter було виготовлено протягом окупації на заводі CRDA. Ці літаки використовувались як транспортні.

HomeIndia NewsDrama, Show Of Strength Ahead Of Congress Meet On Himachal Chief Minister
In a video, the workers were seen surrounding Mr Baghel's car and raising slogans in favour of Pratibha Singh.

Workers were seen surrounding Mr Baghel's car and raising slogans in favour of Pratibha Singh.
Shimla: After its victory in Himachal Pradesh, the Congress tackled chaos today as its workers raised slogans and blocked a party leader's car in an aggressive show of support for state chief Pratibha Singh, who is a frontrunner for Chief Minister.
Here are the top 10 points in this big story:
Going into a meeting of top Congress leaders and newly elected MLAs to decide on the next Chief Minister, senior leader Rajiv Shukla told reporters: "There is no divide".
Pratibha Singh's supporters gathered outside the meeting venue, the Oberoi Cecil in Shimla, and stopped the convoy of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, one of the central leaders sent by the party as an observer.
In a video, Congress workers were seen surrounding Mr Baghel's car and raising slogans in favour of Pratibha Singh, the wife of former Chief Minister Virbhardra Singh, who died last year. Pratibha Singh was appointed the party's state chief earlier this year.
There are at least three more candidates for the top job - Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, Mukesh Agnihotri, and Harshwardhan Chauhan.
Supporters of Sukhvinder Sukhu also gathered outside the hotel to push for their leader. Mr Sukhu is a five-time MLA who has often angled for the post of Chief Minister in the past.
This morning, Pratibha Singh sought to remind her party that the elections were fought and won in the name of her husband Virbhadra Singh and his family could not be neglected.
"I think I can lead the state as the Chief Minister since Sonia ji and the High Command gave me the responsibility to lead the party ahead of the elections. They should command me to take over as Chief Minister and I will do that work too with dignity and to the best of my responsibility," she told NDTV.
"It won't be right to sideline Virbhadra Singh's family when the election was fought and won in the name of Virbhadra Singh. We won 40 seats only because people have a strong emotional connect with Virbhadra Singh," Ms Singh asserted.
Asked about the different claimants for the top job, she said the highest priority was to "keep our flock together".
Yesterday, the Congress scored a victory in Himachal Pradesh by winning 40 of the state's 68 seats. The BJP won 25 seats and independent candidates won three seats.

Description:Portal Login Swap Tactic Lets You Defer Capital Gains Tax If you're a savvy investor, you probably know that you must generally report as income any mutual fund distributions whether you reinvest them or exchange shares in one fund for shares of another. In other words, you must report and pay any capital gains tax owed. But if real estate's your game, did you know that it's possible to defer capital gains by taking advantage of a tax break that allows you to swap investment property on a tax-deferred basis? Named after Section of the tax code, a like-kind exchange generally applies to real estate and was designed for people who wanted to exchange properties of equal value.

The concept is kind of there in the name, the chefs come up with lots of weird and wonderful dishes that they test out, then ask for feedback on what works and what perhaps doesn't. They then take the comments and adapt the menu accordingly, in the meantime building up a huge bank of data with which to build the ideal restaurant after the 12 month pop up is over.
I popped in for lunch and kicked off with salt-baked swede with blackberry, cocao nibs and finely grated goat's cheese in a little heap on top. It was gorgeous, really light and perfectly salted, with the edges of the cheese heap just melting on the swede.
Next up was a dish of broad beans in a pine broth, with morels and delicate little curls of onion. I'm not normally a fan of onion but this was perfect as little bites of crunch, not too strong and not taking over anything else. The broth was gorgeous, made in a pressure cooker with onions and pine needles.
Mullet finished the feast, raw and covered in tomato granita, paper-thin slices of green strawberries, rocket foam I think (!) with batons of green tomato and slices of peeled almonds. The fish was fab, really tender, and perfect with the sharp green strawberries and bright, fresh granita.
On being persuaded by lovely GM Tom to try dessert, I went for roasted yellow peaches, raspberries and sorrel, with lovely fresh sorrel sorbet. It was as good as it looks.
The Test Kitchen is small, 23 seats around the open kitchen and you watch the chefs do their thing, and you can then chat as you eat – whether they appreciate this or not is yet to be decided but they were all so friendly and keen to answer questions that if it was really annoying, it wasn't evident at all. True professionals!
If Adam, the man himself, is there when you go (he probably will be, he's seriously determined to make it a resounding success) have a natter with him, he's lovely and keen to chat about the concept.
Dishes are reasonably priced, up to about £13 so I guess if you had a huge number then the bill could rack up, but it's not cheap, crappy food. The ingredients are seriously good on their own, and the recipes are well thought out, with every element complimenting the rest.

List z domu (ang. A Letter From Home) – komiks Dona Rosy z 2004 r.

Historia po raz pierwszy była wydana 20 lutego 2004 r. na łamach duńskiego czasopisma Anders And & Co. Pierwsze polskie wydanie pochodzi z lipca 2005 r.

Fabuła
Sknerus, w towarzystwie Donalda i siostrzeńców, udaje się do zamku McKwaczów na Ponurych Wzgórzach w Szkocji. Wierzą, że może być tam ukryty skarb templariuszy, nad którym opiekę sprawował skarbnik zakonu, sir Simon McKwacz (historię tego odkrycia Don Rosa opisał w komiksie Korona krzyżowców).

Na miejscu okazuje się, że zamkiem opiekuje się Matylda McKwacz, siostra Sknerusa, z którą nie rozmawiał od 25 lat (tj. od wydarzeń opisanych w tomie Kapitalista z Kalisoty). Ujawnia bratu, że ich zawsze wiedziała o istnieniu skarbu templariuszy, ale nie ujawniono tego faktu Sknerusowi, obawiając się, że zwycięży w nim chciwość.

Niezrażony McKwacz wspólnie z męskimi krewnymi kontynuuje poszukiwania. Ich poczynania pilnie obserwują Maurice d'Naturat i Molay z Międzynarodowej Rady Pieniężnej, którzy mają swoje własne plany co do skarbu.

Kaczkom udaje się pokonać liczne przeszkody (w tym z pomocą wiedzy z Poradnika Młodego Skauta), ale brakuje im ostatniej wskazówki. Tę ostatnią zapewnia Molay, który ujawnia się jako przedstawiciel Zakonu Syjonu i który ma ze sobą koronę krzyżowców, zapewniającą instrukcje co do zdobycia skarbu. Biorąc Matyldę jako zakładniczkę, zmusza McKwacza do otwarcia skarbca. Gdy kaczory próbują obezwładnić napastnika, ten mierzy do Matyldy z pistoletu. Sknerus osłania siostrę własnym ciałem, a Donald, używają Świętego Graala, pozbawia Molaya przytomności.

Sknerus wyznaje siostrze, że nie utrzymywał z nią kontaktu od ćwierć wieku, ponieważ wstydził się tego, w jaki sposób się rozstali i jak wzięła nad nim górę chciwość. Pozwolił, by wszyscy uważali go za bogacza bez serca i nie chciał przyznać, że zazdrościł Donaldowi posiadania rodziny. Najbardziej żałował jednak, że nie miał okazji porozmawiać ze swoim ojcem przed jego śmiercią i dowiedzieć się, czy rozumiał jego zamiłowanie do przygód, czy też widział w nim jedynie groszoroba.

Okazało się, że Fergus McKwacz pozostawił w przedsionku skarbca list do syna. Szukając zajęcia po śmierci Kaczencji, zaczął studiować historię rodu i wytyczać drogę do skarbca. Nie udało mu się do niego dotrzeć, ale wierzył, że pewnego dnia może się to powieść Sknerusowi. Zataił przed synem istnienie skarbu, ponieważ zdał sobie sprawę, że więcej satysfakcji sprawi mu zdobycie bogactwa ciężką pracą. I on, i jego żona zawsze byli dumni ze Sknerusa i wszystkiego, co w życiu osiągnął.

TICONDEROGA, N.Y. (AP) – The first Christmas at Fort Ticonderoga under the newly formed United States was a riot — literally.


Sometimes I wish I were living in a simpler time, like maybe the years B.C. Before Cables, that is.
Still, life in those days had lots of advantages, the chief one being that folks seemed to get along quite nicely without having a single cable running anywhere in the house. I know this seems incredible. I mean, back then, women's hair would dry all by itself, without the need of any mechanical assistance whatsoever! Compare that to modern times, when my wife needs a separate piece of luggage when we travel, just for her blow dryer.
Today, the average modern household has hundreds of different types of cables running around, over, under, and through it, and that's just so we can make toast. We have USB cables, HDMI cables, serial cables, parallel cables, perpendicular cables, and all sorts of other cables—each one made for a very specific use. And the number of different cables increases exponentially with each passing year. Think about it. Back in the sixties, your average television required only two cables—one for the power, and one for the antenna. Today, the back of a typical home entertainment center resembles the switchboard at a Fortune 500 corporate headquarters.
Consider just power cables for a moment, but not any longer than a moment, lest you become driven to wrap one around your neck and pull tightly. That's about all that most of the power cables in my house are good for at this point. I have them collected in a large bin in a closet under the stairs. It used to be that when you bought something like a hi-fi, the power cable came permanently attached to it. This was a novel idea, in that there would be no mistaking what cable went to what device. But, somewhere along the line, the device makers, in league with the powerful cable-industrial complex, deemed this as way too simple a concept for the modern age.
And so now, virtually all electronic devices come with detached cables, all of which are physically incompatible with any other item except the one it came with. This is what let to the bin under the stairs. In it are enough cables to power a Super Bowl halftime show, if I could only figure out what any of them go to. Most are probably for things that I'm sure I'd discarded years ago, but still, I can't bring myself to toss any of them. It's like maybe, by some miracle, one or more of them will be happily re-united with its master, thus to live happily ever after, as if life happened just like it's portrayed in one of those boy-and-his-dog movies.
But life is not really like that. No, it's more like a country song where the cowboy goes looking for his long lost love, only to end up in some big city, arrested by police who have mistaken his belt buckle for a stolen manhole cover.
Yet still, I hold onto these cables, believing that someday I'll find a good use for them. Anybody got any ideas, hopefully before a camera crew from "Hoarders" shows up at my door?
