2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray: Engineering The Everyday Supercar
A special "backbone" lowers the 2020 Corvette Stingray's center of gravity.
The backbone helps make the Corvette more versatile for everyday driving.
Chevy employed a material manufacturing strategy known as "Bedford Six."
The arrival of the mid-engine Corvette Stingray for 2020 is a huge deal. By moving the engine where it belongs, GM has finally stepped onto the world stage of high-end supercars. And they have done so in a manner befitting one of the largest and longest-running manufacturers on the planet. In a way, that it's taken so long is rather puzzling. GM is embarrassingly rich in resources. And not just development cash, although they do have a ton of that. They have test facilities, computer farms, and buildings upon buildings full of whip-smart engineers who would love to get off the chain and show the world what "Yankee Ingenuity" means.
And indeed, GM has shown everyone else how it's done, from the proverbial clean sheet of paper to the final $60,000 starting MSRP.

The 2020 Corvette's structure is built around its backbone: the center tunnel. This is not a particularly new idea. Colin Chapman designed a bunch of Lotuses (and even the DeLorean) around a center backbone design. It creates a light, stiff structure as the foundation for everything else in the car. The engine and transaxle sit solidly in the middle of the backbone, and the suspension system hangs off the ends. The rigidity allows the suspension to perform as it should, and not be burdened by chassis flex. GM says by "removing unwanted body compliance," the new Corvette offers better lateral grip while also reducing vibration at higher speeds or on longer road trips.
The backbone design helps ingress and egress for a mid-engine vehicle too. There's no need for giant rocker panels and sills to handle structural loads, making it easier to enter and exit the vehicle; unlike, say, what you find on a Lambo. Since the backbone lowers the center of gravity, stability should be excellent and handling outstanding.
The 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray benefits from GM's new digital vehicle platform. The electronic architecture minimizes wiring and allows for faster signal transmission between vehicle systems. The platform also offers over-the-air updates. Photo: Chevrolet.
The Corvette's beloved roof panel (standard) even benefits from the new mid-engine design. Just like before, you can store it in the rear trunk. Easy-peasy! Speaking of storage, up front there's a trunk (frunk?) that fits an airline-spec carry-on and a laptop bag. The other trunk out back handles two, fully-loaded golf bags. In other words, the 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray is even somewhat practical.
The backbone structure, combined with some smart packaging, improves cabin comfort. It gets you an additional inch of rearward seat travel and nearly double the reclining angle. The patriotic cherry on top is how the Stingray will be available in both left- and right-hand drive variants, a first for Corvette.
Technical flourishes and cool engineering abound all over the new Corvette Stingray. GM's "mixed-material strategy," something they employed for the new Silverado, is found in key areas here as well. For example, the 2020 Corvette's main structure comprises six, high-pressure diecast aluminum parts, known as the Bedford Six. These six elements come from GM Powertrain in Bedford, Indiana. The point here is to minimize the number of joints within the vehicle, making for a stiffer structure. This, in turn, increases handling and cornering capabilities, while lowering vibrations, noise, and harshness.
Other trick pieces include the carbon fiber curved rear bumper beam, an industry-first according to GM. The front and rear trunk tubs and dashboard are molded from an ultra-lightweight "float" draw, which GM says derives from fiberglass and a proprietary resin. The geeks from Bowling Green call it a "float" because it's light enough to actually float on water. They use it with other fiberglass and carbon fiber components to reduce the 2020 Corvette Stingray's mass.

Gone are the days when the brutish power of a Corvette engine had to compensate for the handling deficiencies. Oh sure, that bestial potential is still there, deliciously so, but thanks to the mid-engine layout, you can now have all you power cake and road-eating handling too. Putting the lump of the engine in the middle allows for shorter, straighter, and stiffer steering; couple that with an updated electronic steering system, and the inputs for the driver should feel instantaneous. The new seating position places the car's center of gravity close to the driver's inside hip, so it feels as if the thing is literally turning around you.
Believe me, I have driven cars like this before. Your perception of vehicle handling and responsiveness is mind-blowing.
Other ride and handling upgrades include a revised steering ratio from 16.25:1 to 15.7:1 and new eBoost brakes. The Michelin all-season tires can corner at nearly 1G (for an all season tire!), which GM says is a first. There is an uber-cool and useful front suspension lift that gets you more ground clearance to the tune of +40 mm at the front bumper. Push a button and whoosh, 2.8 seconds later you're protected against ruts, potholes, steep driveways, and speed bumps. And check this out: the suspension lift works automatically through the GPS to remember up to 1,000 locations in advance.

Yes, there will be a Z51 Performance Package. Oh, wait, you didn't realize everything I was talking about was for the base model? Indeed that is the case. It gets better and better from here, my young Padawan.
The Z51 Performance Package brings a bunch of goodies to an already great party: performance suspension with manually-adjustable threaded spring seats; larger brake rotors with Z51 logos on the calipers; better cooling and a specific axle ratio; new front brake cooling inlets and a performance exhaust. There's also an electronic limited-slip differential integrated into the transaxle for better torque modulation. The front splitter and open, two-piece rear spoiler give you a combined 400 lbs.of downforce.
And finally, GM's trick Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 is available. In short, this thing is a beast!

Production of the 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray begins at Bowling Green Assembly later this year. Additional pricing and packaging information will be available closer to launch. When it hits the market, the new Stingray will come in 12 exterior colors; offer six interior color themes and seat belt colors, with two optional stitching packages. If you simply cannot wait, a new digital tool, the Corvette Visualizer, lets you design your dream mid-engine Vette in vivid detail.
The 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray will embark on a cross-country dealership tour leading up to its on-sale date. Corvette specialists, along with the vehicle and numerous other displays, will stop at over 125 dealerships nationwide, as well as major consumer events.

Power Finance 2022: More Life Insurance Company Dollars Flowing Into CRE Lending
By Andrew Coen May 5, 2022 10:10 am
Illustration by Britt Spencer
Life insurance companies were alive with commercial real estate lending during the past year and are poised for further growth.
Active commercial real estate origination activity was evident at established insurance companies PGIM, MetLife and New York Life while newer players, namely KKR and Apollo, also joined the party with the addition of life company dollars.
SEE ALSO: 2023 Is a Significant Year for CMBS Multifamily Maturities
PGIM upped its U.S. debt origination to $17 billion in 2021 compared to $16.2 billion the previous year. Its dealbook was diverse, comprising $7.4 billion within its portfolio and core business, $2.2 billion within core-plus and high yield along with $7.3 billion of agency debt.
One of PGIM's notable deals involved $101 million floating-rate bridge financing to Asana Partners for the acquisition and lease-up of a four-property, 168,206-square-foot retail and office portfolio in the Fulton Market neighborhood of Chicago. The deal demonstrated PGIM's versatility to execute a core-plus transaction that aims for larger yields.
MetLife Investment Management also had a big 2021 with its commercial mortgage team originating a company-record 235 transactions last year totaling more than $15.3 billion across traditional as well as alternative property types. These included life sciences, self-storage and student housing. MetLife also launched a closed-end hotel debt fund.
Overall, MetLife recorded $18.6 billion of new commercial real estate debt and equity transactions and achieved a company high of $109.8 billion in gross commercial real estate assets under management.
New York Life Real Estate Investors proved nimble in 2021 with $12.6 billion of transaction volume from core, bridge, construction and mezzanine debt. It exceeded pre-pandemic levels in commercial real estate mortgages with $9.9 billion. Commercial mortgage-backed securities purchases totalled $1.8 billion, and New York Life closed $923 million of equity.
Looking to expand from its transitional lending roots, KKR added insurance capital in February 2021 with the acquisition of life and annuity company Global Atlantic. The move arms KKR with more bandwidth to underwrite longer-term floating-rate and fixed-rate loans in addition to bridge debt.
Acquiring Global Atlantic paid early dividends for Manhattan-based KKR with the firm quintupling its previous lending record, set in 2019, with $14.5 billion in loans from 120 deals. The company expanded the scope of its lending with 60 new institutional borrowers. Around half of its transaction activity last year was dedicated to the multifamily sector while also allocating a sizable amount to industrial deals.
Commercial real estate lending momentum at the life insurance level was also evident at Apollo. The firm closed $14.1 billion of originations last year with $8 billion of that total deriving from its insurance company platform.
As Apollo and KKR further grow their insurance arms in 2022, the insurance company industry presence within commercial real estate lending will only widen.

The cluster-computing environment typified by Hadoop, the open-source implementation of map-reduce, is receiving serious attention as the way to execute queries and other operations on very large-scale data. Datalog execution presents several unusual issues for this enviroment. We discuss the best way to execute a round of seminaive evaluation on a computing cluster using the map-reduce. Using transitive closure as an example, we examine the cost of executing recursions in several different ways. Recursive processes such as evaluation of a recursive Datalog program do not fit the key map-reduce assumption that tasks deliver output only when they are completed. As a result, the resilience under compute-node failure that is a key element of the map-reduce framework is not supported for recursive programs. We discuss extensions to this framework that are suitable for executing recursive Datalog programs on very large-scale data in a way that allows progress to continue after node failures, without restarting the entire job.


Thank you for adjusting camera angle. Now I could see people on hike and even passing by minibus. Wow! Great!
Lots of geothermal activity today!
To G. Miller: Eureka ! Here is how to : Just above the picture, on right side click "Locate". After the map opens, In the left upper corner of map click on "View larger map". After larger map opens, give to it little time till Google puts on their adds and so, then with the right button on mouse click on map (anywhere) and it shows dialog box with offerings of miscell. useful info. On the bottom of this dialog box is "measure distance". This feature will measure distance between any places you click on. Happy measuring!
G. Miller: I checked a map (under locate above the picture), with little "fiddling" you can find both cameras location. Unfortunately, there is not any scale.
BTW - they have switched maps. Piano map is shown on Summit craters camera picture and Summit craters map is shown on Piano camera picture.
Hello to all I have a question does anyone know or can give me any idea on how many miles away from this cam to the other on the piano provenzana . I love the storm clouds moving across the top just giving the sun a beam or so to come and shine thanks .
Feb.2nd, 3pm, beautiful day but obviously very windy, both cameras are shaking, cable is not running no one to see. Yes, camera on summit craters is shooting more up to the sky then it was previously.
Oh, it was the light, I can see the sign, but it has changed a bit I think?
The angle of the camera has changed - pointing at more sky, can't see the sign.
27.01.19. First time i've seen a child tobaganing! Is that a ladder on the extreme lower left of the screen?
1/27/2019: Is all that grey color, ash? Just a day or so ago, it was all white!!


What is a SRSLY Safe Home?
A "SRSLY-Safe Home" is a home in which the family has committed to providing a safe and substance-free environment for their children, and any other youth who spend time there. Kids and adults can be confident that minors under the age of 21 will not be offered or allowed to use drugs or alcohol while they are in these families' homes.
Families who sign up to be a Safe Home have their name listed on this page and are offered a Safe Home sign to put in their yards.
Practically, the Safe Homes list and yard signs let youth and parents know which homes are safe for them to hang out and have fun at without worrying about kids using drugs or alcohol.
Safe Homes send a message to the community that parents in Stockbridge want their kids to grow up safe and substance-free, and kids want to hang out and have fun with their friends without being pressured to use drugs or alcohol.
Safe Homes are encouraged to display their yard signs at least twice per year - during homecoming week in the fall and right before prom in the spring.

"Congrats!" "So awesome!" These are words I've heard many times over the past few weeks, when I announced I left my corporate consulting job. My honest initial thoughts were, "Ok, now what?" and "Congrats on willingly leaving any stability I've ever known, behind?". It was a tough decision and it was 1000% the right choice for me but along with doing what you love and creating your own freedom and future, comes anxiety. Anxiety with the unknown.
In the corporate culture there is a more linear path on where your career will go. You're some variation of an associate, a manager, a senior manager, a director, all within your given industry. As an entrepreneur there's an unknown path that can lead to nowhere or can lead to everything you've ever wanted. There's so much excitement and potential in that but it's not an honest answer to say there's no downfall or anxiety with all of that as well.
Just for a little bit of background on me, the last time I was my own boss, I was 22, newly graduated from college and I sold clothes on eBay. It was sustainable and fun for me because at the time I lived at home and had no real financial pressure. I would go to designer discount stores, purchase designer jeans at a fraction of the cost and mark them up and sell them on eBay for a profit. This was sustainable for me for a while until I felt perhaps I should get "real world" experience. The first job I applied for was a job that said "telecommute option available" – work from home? Yes. So I've always had the desire to have flexibility in my life.
Now, as someone who is no longer 22, and has way more financial responsibility (Hi mortgage, car payment, utilities, etc), selling clothes on eBay is just not going to sustain the lifestyle and future I want to lead. So now as I venture 100% into the world of blogging, creating content on Instagram, and creating an online shopping destination, Shop Your Element, my hope is that these endeavors will lead me to my dream lifestyle. But what if it doesn't? That "what if" is what leads to some anxiety, for me. Below are some tips on how I've slowly started to lessen the anxiety, and increase the joy in my life.
As an entrepreneur, being in the right mental head space is a necessity. I can question myself ALL DAY with what I'm not doing right, what others are doing right, what I should be doing, or could be doing. Ultimately though, these are thoughts that are taking away from the actual doing and execution of my future. Dreams don't happen with wondering thoughts.
Dreams happen with action and execution.
Analyzing and thinking up plans can be all encompassing in your head. When I'm in my head all day, that's when I tend to get a bit anxious and my thought patterns become circular. I find that when I'm actually executing on my dreams though, that's when the anxiety seems to lessen. I'm a strong believer in a "Do more, analyze less." mentality.
That being said, we can only do so much as one person. We all have the same amount of hours in a day and we can only do the best we can. Our "best" is different for each day and that's something that I am learning along the way. Some days I knock out my to-do list in a few hours and I feel like Superwoman. Other days, I feel lethargic, unmotivated, and maybe get one thing done. And that's ok. There's no reason to beat yourself up inside if you aren't perfect and performing at your highest caliber. Tomorrow is another day and you have another opportunity to reset your mind and mood. Let go of the idea that you need to push yourself to max capacity at all times. Be kind to yourself and know that you are doing the best you can at that moment.
The days when I don't get an exercise break in, are the days I don't feel the greatest – mentally or physically. Exercise could be a boxing class, HIIT, running, or it could also just be a long walk. Whatever type of movement fits into your day, do it. It will help clear your mind and also help you be more productive when you get back to your to-do list.
You can't write a post about reducing anxiety and not mention the benefits of yoga and meditation. Yoga sometimes gets grouped into "exercise" since you are moving your body but it's a much more mental state of being. You are learning how to be still and lessen the clutter that's going on in your mind. As a part of yoga practice, try incorporate a few minutes, I mean maybe even two minutes if you can!, and be still. It always takes me a few moments to get settled in, noticing where my body feels tense, how my body just wants to fidget, but if you are patient with yourself and find your stillness, it will do wonders for your mental state.
When I don't have a list or schedule laid out, my brain feels like a jumbled hot mess. At the start of each week or at the beginning of each day, create your master schedule and stick to it. As an entrepreneur, it can get easy to use your freedom to have long lunches, do errands, etc but that eats into the prime day light hours where you can get a lot of work done. Treat your schedule as an entrepreneur as a regular work day in the office. This will also help you procrastinate less and we all know procrastination can lead to stress and feelings of anxiety.
There's so much strength and comfort that comes when someone says "Same here!". You feel a little less alone in your endeavors. A little less out there on an island. After speaking to entrepreneur friends of mine who have gone through similar feelings of anxiety, I know that this is a real feeling. Even just doing check-ins with others to see how we're all feeling does wonders. Everyone needs an outlet of some sort to express themselves.
The comparison game to others in your field can be very detrimental to your mental state. Rather than getting anxious and annoyed with seeing the success of others in your field, view them as your mentors or collaborators. If you see success in others, learn from them so you can grow with them. The minute you start to view others as a competitor, that's the minute you have lost. Why create unnecessary anxiety and stress in your life by adding in the element of competition?
I find that when I focus on a paycheck, an individual project, or viewership, my brain goes a bit on overload. However, when I refocus my energy on my WHY, my purpose, and my desire to help others – I think less about the minutiae in my day and more about how I can serve others in the most impactful way possible.
I am a huge fan of journaling and gratitude journaling is real. I find my mind becomes a lot more clear when I have the right perspective. If you haven't started this practice yet and are unsure how, I wrote a how to gratitude journal post to help get you started.

Tribunal Cases Against Ihedioha, Exercise In Futility, Says Okewulonu
Former Secretary to the Government of Imo State and Chairman,2019 Governorship Inauguration and Handover Committee ,Chief(Barr) Chris Okewulonu has expressed confidence that all litigations against the election of the in -coming governor of Imo State, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha will end in futility. He said that Ihedioha's election was the collective decision of Imo people which cannot be thwarted by any individual.
He stated that it is not the wish of Imo people to go back to the horrible period when the state was held down to whims and caprices of one man, noting that the election of Ihedioha marks the restoration of the people's government and a clear departure from nepotism and lack of due process in the conduct of government affairs.
Chief Okewulonu spoke on the heels of the inauguration of the committee to organize the ushering in of the new PDP administration in the state with him as the Chairman of the Committee. He posited that that Ihedioha has "from the beginning, consistently defined an ambitious agenda for his administration that is anchored on high standards of procedure, rigorous adherence to due process, and excellence in the delivery of results." He assured that the committee will work hard "in line with the high standards which are expected to constitute the defining hallmarks,in all ramifications of the Emeka Ihedioha administration in Imo State "
The former SGI contended that with the "calibre and pedigree of members of the Inauguration Committee, Your Excellency has once again demonstrated your unwavering commitment towards restoring sanity, pragmatism and the spirit of thoroughness in the affairs of government, " adding that the committee's composition has further confirmed Ihedioha's avowed disposition towards inclusiveness and excellence in the way the in-coming administration will be operated.
Chief Okewulonu assured that despite the the difficulties the committee may encounter as a result of the anticipated non-cooperation from the outgoing administration, the committee will approach it's assignment with all sense of responsibility and in line with the high expectations of Imo people. "Your Excellency's meticulous selection of the committee's membership from diverse backgrounds, with persons who have distinguished themselves in respective fields of endeavour, will indeed make our assignment less cumbersome, "Chief Okewulonu opined.
It would be recalled that the in-coming Governor, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha had last Tuesday , April 9,2019, inaugurated the Governorship Inauguration and Handover Committee headed by the former SGI, Chief Barr Chris Okewulonu. The committee has 13 sub-committees with membership drawn from various strata of
human endeavours, a development which has been applauded by Imolites because of its all inclusive nature.

Reaching portfolio objectives in changing markets
Strategic portfolio hedging in the new market environment
Exploring a broader approach to diversification.
By Jared Gross, Head of Institutional Portfolio Strategy
Fixed income likely won't be able to deliver the same level of portfolio protection as it has in the past. Where de-risking is not an option, it may be worth considering other forms of diversification.
Effective portfolio diversification has been underpinned by long-held assumptions about correlations between stocks and bonds, but conditions have changed: With bonds' potential gains limited and opportunity costs high, we suggest new ways of thinking about building in downside protection.
To protect against inflation while maintaining returns, assets—such as real estate, infrastructure and transportation—with higher return potential and inflation sensitivity may deserve a larger allocation.
First rule of investing: Diversify. Second rule of investing: Stay invested.
A prudently diversified portfolio should balance return and risk effectively, generating long-term returns with limited downside risk. Further, long-term returns on risk assets should exceed inflation by a comfortable margin, leading to gains in real value over time.
But close examination of these assumptions is warranted in the current environment:
Diversifying fixed income is unlikely to deliver the same degree of protection against equity market volatility as in the past.
Where outright de-risking is not an option, given the need to generate returns, then traditional portfolio strategies may be running more potential risk for less potential return.
If liquid markets are expected to deliver lower forward-looking returns, then the margin for error with respect to an upside inflation surprise may be lower than expected.
Under these circumstances, it may be worth considering other forms of portfolio protection, including more direct means of managing equity risk exposure and higher returning core real assets to offset inflation.

Beyond traditional fixed income duration: Hedging the tails
Return-seeking assets show a high degree of equity factor risk and corresponding exposure to the rare but-painful "left tail" scenario of a severe market draw-down. Additionally, in many market downturns the correlations across asset classes can rise, narrowing the scope of portfolio diversification to only those assets with a reliably negative correlation to equity risk. History shows that the duration risk factor in a bond portfolio has been an effective hedge to equity risk if held in sufficient size to meaningfully offset losses.
However, the current market environment poses a challenge to the traditional role of fixed income duration as a portfolio hedge, in a number of ways:
Correlation assumptions may not hold. While the correlation of equity and duration has been reliably negative in recent years, across history this relationship was positively correlated for extended periods of time. In general, this has been in environments in which rates were rising on the back of rising inflation expectations and, in particular, when accompanied by low nominal growth. Should such an environment recur, the duration hedge could actually make a difficult situation worse.
Bonds may provide less protection going forward. Treasuries are trading at or near record low yields across the curve, and globally a significant portion of government bond yields are negative. While it is a truism that U.S. rates could always fall further, the reality is that the hedge potential of most U.S. fixed income is constrained by low yields. Further positive returns are less likely going forward and almost certainly smaller in magnitude.
Investors should consider opportunity costs. The most significant cost of the hedge portfolio is the opportunity cost associated with placing capital in a strategy that, based on forward-looking return expectations, is unlikely to deliver returns much in excess of 1%–2% over a long horizon.
Improving the hedge solution
How can investors improve portfolio protection, given that a traditional fixed income hedge's effectiveness is uncertain, the potential gains are limited, and the cost is high? Potentially by:
Not abandoning the fixed income hedge entirely. A concentrated position in long-duration Treasuries takes advantage of the higher yields available further out on the yield curve and still has the potential to register meaningful gains in a market sell-off.
Looking to reduce exposure to equity beta at the portfolio level. Consider shifting some equity exposure to other return-focused investment categories across public and private markets (Exhibit 2). Asset classes such as securitized, high-yield and emerging market debt; preferreds; private credit and infrastructure are among those that currently can offer reasonable higher yields with lower volatility than equity.
Lowering hedges' volatility. Consider moving some equity exposure to lower volatility strategies or to hedged equity strategies that use options to avoid the more extreme moves in the market.
If you're paying for the insurance, use it. Portfolios with more direct hedges can maintain a higher level of equity risk. Portfolios with larger allocations to less volatile equity alternatives need smaller fixed income allocations to serve as a counterbalance. Either way, the long-term goal of return generation should not be lost amid concerns about the current environment.

Outrunning inflation
Protecting a portfolio against inflation is a long-term goal – avoiding the slow erosion of value as well as the negative impact of higher nominal interest rates. Today, this risk is compounded by the exceptionally low level of current interest rates, which provide little or no margin for error for fixed income portfolios and have at the same time been broadly supportive of higher equity prices. So, while the probability of an inflation surprise might be low, the consequences could be severe.
In an inflationary environment we can generalize about the performance of various asset classes: Fixed rate bonds will perform poorly, stocks will likely be volatile and real assets will do best. For a portfolio to outearn inflation, investors have a few opportunities:
Adjust fixed income positioning. Traditional fixed income portfolios might pivot to lower duration or floating-rate strategies, and to those with a higher spread content. (Long-duration bonds may be retained for hedging purposes, as discussed above.) Active management can play a key role in terms of curve positioning and identifying credits that could benefit from rising prices.
For equity strategies, it may be best to leave active discretion with portfolio managers who have the capacity to understand individual firms' exposure to the components of price inflation and (presumably) higher interest rates. Broad passive cap-weighted benchmarks that have enjoyed a tailwind from disinflation and lower interest rates could be a concern.
Real assets likely deserve a larger allocation. However, selection among real assets is key. The opportunity cost is high for large allocations to very low-yielding assets such as TIPS, commodity indices or gold. REITS may play an interesting role, as they can deliver higher levels of inflation-linked return (though with some correlation to the broader equity market). Core real assets1—such as core real estate, infrastructure and transportation—offer the prospect of significantly higher returns alongside business models that directly embed price-level resets.
Bending the rules (a little)
The rules of investing hold that maintaining a diversified portfolio across time is likely to provide the best long-term outcome. But the long term is actually a sequence of specific market environments that must be taken as they come. When conditions pose unusual risks to the traditional approach, we recommend adjusting accordingly.
The need for returns has not diminished, though it will be more challenging to realize them. The risk of volatility has not diminished, though it will be more challenging to manage. Fortunately, investors are not forced to remain passive in the face of changing markets; they can apply balance and common sense to improve the chances of making good on their objectives.
When the environment warrants broadening your hedge—with fixed income likely unable to deliver the protection it has in the past and de-risking not an option—it may be worth considering other forms of portfolio protection. And with liquid markets expected to deliver low forward-looking returns and upside inflation a risk, it can make sense to add inflation-sensitive assets.
The steps outlined here can help a diversified portfolio manage through a challenging market environment—not by tossing out the basic rules of investing but by applying them in a more thoughtful manner.
1 We consider core alternatives to be alternative investments that offer a stable source of income at a meaningful premium to core bonds, with yields ranging from 5%–9%-plus, and that at the same time reduce equity beta, improving overall diversification, albeit at a cost of less liquidity.

Isabel and Alfredo Aquilizan will be participating in the Gangwon International Biennale, previously known as the PyeongChang Biennale, in Chuncheon, South Korea. This year's theme The Dictionary of Evil focuses on historical, political, and social issues that have taken place in the past 100 years, and the recovery of the value of being human. The biennale will take place in conjunction with the upcoming 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, and will be the main event in its cultural programme.
The Aquilizans will be presenting a large-scale installation titled "Bounds: Project Another Country", consisting of trucks, various domestic objects, rope and canvas. The work depicts two trucks from opposite directions colliding and coming to a stop. Within the continuous history of emigration and immigration, people have moved to avoid different types of conflicts, including ideological ones, and find harmony, solidarity, and peace in places that can accommodate them. The trucks, filled to the brim with objects and individual belongings, show the individual experiences of the artists. It continues the duo's exploration on the narratives of place, settlement and disruption through visual signification of domestic objects such as suitcases.
The Gangwon International Biennale will be held from 3 February to 18 March 2018.

The last Article IV Executive Board Consultation was on May 9, 2022. Listed below are items related to Republic of Mozambique.
On May 9, 2022, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund concluded the 2022 Article IV consultation and approved a 36-month Extended Credit Facility for an amount equivalent to SDR 340.8 million (about US$456 million) for the Republic of Mozambique. The Board's discussion was based on a staff report prepared by a staff team of the IMF, following discussions with the officials of the Republic of Mozambique on economic developments and policies underpinning the Extended Credit Facility.
Under Article IV of its Articles of Agreement, the IMF has a mandate to exercise surveillance over the economic, financial and exchange rate policies of its members in order to ensure the effective operation of the international monetary system. The IMF's appraisal of such policies involves a comprehensive analysis of the general economic situation and policy strategy of each member country. IMF economists visit the member country, usually once a year, to collect and analyze data and hold discussions with government and central bank officials. Upon its return, the staff submits a report to the IMF's Executive Board for discussion. The Board's views are subsequently summarized and transmitted to the country's authorities. The authorities have requested more time to consider the publication of the staff report.

Medieval Spin-Offs of the Roman de la Rose
Over the past year, many critics have noted the dominance of 'spin-offs', new releases which are sequels to or take place in the same imaginary worlds as already-popular blockbusters. But popular spin-offs are not a modern phenomenon. Take the example of 'satellite texts' of the Roman de la Rose, one of the most famous poems in the French language. The medieval equivalent of a best-seller, it survives in more than 300 manuscript copies, and was composed in two sections, written decades apart: the first part was written by Guillaume de Lorris (c. 1230) and it was continued by Jean de Meun 40 years later. In many manuscripts, the Roman de la Rose was copied with other texts attributed to Jean de Meun, which are often described as 'satellite' or spin-off texts. Although the Roman de la Rose tends to overshadow some of these other texts, they were nevertheless popular in the Middle Ages.
Image of Jean de Meun, from a copy of the Roman de la Rose, Northern France (Artois or Picardy), c. 1340–1350: Royal MS 20 A XVII, f. 35v.
The Testament
In many manuscripts, the Roman de la Rose is followed by a text entitled the Testament de maistre Jehan de Meun. It acts as a morally edifying conclusion to the famous allegorical poem, opening with the lines:
''Li peres et li filz et li sains esperis/ Un dieu en trois personnes adoures et cheris'.
The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit/God in three persons, loved and adored
Attributed to Jean de Meun, the Testament was composed at the end of the 13th century and comprises 544 alexandrine quatrains. The author explains to the reader that he wants to apologize for the works he wrote during his youth just to achieve success: is this remorse a reference to Meun's work on the Roman de la Rose? Some of Jean de Meun's leitmotivs are present in this poem, especially his criticism of women and mendicants.
A miniature in grisaille of the Trinity with a finely-worked coloured background, from the Testament, 1380–1390: Yates Thompson MS 21, f. 143r.
The Testament is described by its author as a moral treatise inspired by God and charity. It was elaborated as a spiritual journey for the discovery of Truth and Good in which the author confesses to the reader his awareness of the vanity and finite nature of human life. The poem focuses on the themes of death and on the utility of prayers to the dead as well as the living.
The construction of the poem is inspired by disputation, the exercise commonly practised in medieval universities. The author combines the rigour of university culture with the traditions of vernacular literature. The success of the Testament was significant, probably due to its attribution to de Meun. It was widely disseminated throughout the late Middle Ages, though rarely alone: its transmission was closely linked to that of the Roman de la Rose, especially during the 14th century.
The Trinity with a full bar border with zoomorphic decoration, the Testament attributed to Jean de Meun, last quarter of the 14th century: Additional MS 42133, f. 145r.
The Codicille
The Testament is often accompanied by two other texts attributed to Jean de Meun: the Codicille or 'petit Codicille' and the 'Grant Codicille', also known as the Sept articles de foi. The 'petit Codicille' is sometimes considered to be an appendix to the Testament and is sometimes even entitled 'petit Testament'. It includes 88 lines of eight syllables per line. Composed at the end of the 13th century, it takes the form of a prayer, beginning:
'Dieux ait l'ame des trespasses/ Car des biens qu'ilz ont amasses/ Dont ils norent oncques assez'.
God keep the Soul of the dead/ because of the goods they amassed/ they did not get never enough of these.
Framed initial in colours on gold and blue grounds with partial foliate border with rinceaux, the Codicille, last quarter of the 14th century: Additional MS 42133, f. 143v.
The Sept articles de foi
The final bestseller attributed to Jean de Meun is the Sept articles de foi, also called Trésor de la foy or, confusingly, just Codicille (see, for example, 'Cy commence le codicille maistre Jehan de Meun': Royal MS 19 B XII, f. 181r). However, although for a long time this work was attributed to Jean de Meun, it has now been established that it was composed by Jean Chapuis around 1300.
Tinted drawing in colours showing the Trinity, 1st half of the 15th century, the Sept articles de foi: Royal MS 19 B XII, f. 181r.
This is a devotional and eschatological poem advocating contempt for the world and the necessity to praise God, Christ and the Virgin Mary for the salvation of the soul. It deals with the symbolic number seven such as the seven virtues and the seven liberal arts in opposition to the seven deadly sins.
Although it is now accepted that Meun did not write this poem, in 1401 this poem was at the centre of an attempt to clear Jean de Meun's reputation in a tumultuous debate involving Christine de Pizan. One of Jean de Meun's defenders, Gontier Col, secretary to Charles VI, sent her a copy of the Sept articles de foi to try to persuade her to renounce her condemnation of Jean de Meun. In response, Christine de Pizan, with irony, denounced people who attributed any works to Jean de Meun. Her answer shows that the poem's attribution to Meun was already disputed at the beginning of the 15th century.
Detail of Jean de Meun writing the opening words of this poem: Yates Thompson MS 21, f. 69v.
The above three texts gained popular success during the 14th and 15th centuries, partly because of their close association with the Roman de la Rose and Jean de Meun, and because they seemed to show the presumed author's repentance. It is tempting to draw parallels with modern spin-offs, which are often framed as responses to earlier criticisms of franchises and whose popularity is sometimes attributed to their association with other well-known subjects and creators. But the satellites of the Roman de la Rose are also worth analysing as examples of the popularity of devotional literature aimed mainly at lay people.

Q: Finding a principal element in an ideal in a cubic extension I am struggling with how to find a principal element for each of $(2, 1 + \sqrt[3]{5})$ and $(2, \sqrt[3]{25} - \sqrt[3]{5} + 1)$ in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt[3]{5}]$. Working with norms here seems ugly. The main aim is to prove it is a PID via factoring $(2)$, $(3)$, $(5)$, $(7)$ and the Minkowski bound.
Any help appreciated!

Bellfort es una localidad española perteneciente al municipio de La Baronía de Rialb, en la provincia de Lérida, comunidad autónoma de Cataluña.

Descripción
El pueblo y parroquia de Bellfort forman parte del el histórico Rialb Jussà, es decir, de la parte más baja del valle del Rialb, si bien el núcleo de la población está alejado del río. Bellfort es un término que se extiende a mediodía de El Palau de Rialb, desde la cresta, donde pasa la carretera que va de Gualter, bordea la Sierra de Rialb y alcanza los Pallars (C-1412b), hasta el fondo de la riera de Torreblanca, en un terreno escabroso de torrentes, bosques y algún plano. La capilla, dedicada a Sant Serni, y algunas casas agrupadas se encuentran en una llanura, a unos dos kilómetros de la carretera mencionada.

Historia
En esta parte del Rialb, el conde de Urgel Ermengol VII y su esposa Dulce de Foix hicieron diversas donaciones a los monjes militares de la orden de San Juan de Jerusalén, entre las que se cuentan una de 1164, que consistió en el pueblo de Bellfort junto con otros lugares que cobijaban bajo la alcaldía de Gombau de Ribelles, en otro documento la donación comprende San Salvador de Isot, que parece que debía de formar parte de este lugar, en el término vecino de Gavarra hay un topónimo similar, que es la Fuente de Esopo, como dice la gente del país. Más adelante Bellfort perteneció a la iglesia de San Juan de Berga y de Santa María de Costoja; durante el siglo XIV pasó al dominio de Susterris (Talarn) hasta el tiempo de la desamortización.

No se formó en este lugar ninguna comunidad monacal y fue regido por un castellano o alcalde. Más tarde en 1449, los hospitalarios tuvieron que pleitear contra los hermanos Arnau Guillem i Gispert de Ponts, que se querían hacer dueños de este castillo.
