How Sir Tristram and King Mark hurted each other for the love of a knight's wife.
SO Sir Tristram departed, and took the sea, and with good wind he arrived up at Tintagil in Cornwall; and when King Mark was whole in his prosperity there came tidings that Sir Tristram was arrived, and whole of his wounds: thereof was King Mark passing glad, and so were all the barons; and when he saw his time he rode unto his father, King Meliodas, and there he had all the cheer that the king and the queen could make him. And then largely King Meliodas and his queen departed of their lands and goods to Sir Tristram.
Then by the license of King Meliodas, his father, he returned again unto the court of King Mark, and there he lived in great joy long time, until at the last there befell a jealousy and an unkindness betwixt King Mark and Sir Tristram, for they loved both one lady. And she was an earl's wife that hight Sir Segwarides. And this lady loved Sir Tristram passingly well. And he loved her again, for she was a passing fair lady, and that espied Sir Tristram well. Then King Mark understood that and was jealous, for King Mark loved her passingly well.
So it fell upon a day this lady sent a dwarf unto Sir Tristram, and bade him, as he loved her, that he would be with her the night next following. Also she charged you that ye come not to her but if ye be well armed, for her lover was called a good knight. Sir Tristram answered to the dwarf: Recommend me unto my lady, and tell her I will not fail but I will be with her the term that she hath set me. And with this answer the dwarf departed. And King Mark espied that the dwarf was with Sir Tristram upon message from Segwarides' wife; then King Mark sent for the dwarf, and when he was come he made the dwarf by force to tell him all, why and wherefore that he came on message from Sir Tristram. Now, said King Mark, go where thou wilt, and upon pain of death that thou say no word that thou spakest with me; so the dwarf departed from the king.
And that same night that the steven was set betwixt Segwarides' wife and Sir Tristram, King Mark armed him, and made him ready, and took two knights of his counsel with him; and so he rode afore for to abide by the way for to wait upon Sir Tristram. And as Sir Tristram came riding upon his way with his spear in his hand, King Mark came hurtling upon him with his two knights suddenly. And all three smote him with their spears, and King Mark hurt Sir Tristram on the breast right sore. And then Sir Tristram feutred his spear, and smote his uncle, King Mark, so sore, that he rashed him to the earth, and bruised him that he lay still in a swoon, and long it was or ever he might wield himself. And then he ran to the one knight, and eft to the other, and smote them to the cold earth, that they lay still. And therewithal Sir Tristram rode forth sore wounded to the lady, and found her abiding him at a postern.

Step Right Up
In the wake of revelations that Donald Trump told Bob Woodward that he, Trump, had deliberately misled the American people about the dangers of Covid-19, White House officials reportedly are scrambling to assign blame. Aides are pointing fingers at each other, asking whose stupid idea it was to have Trump talk to Woodward in the first place.
The truth is, they couldn't have stopped him.
Once upon a time I was a criminal prosecutor. It occasionally happened that I would find myself in trial on a case that looked far better on paper than it did when testimony was given in open court. Many was the time when I said, "Your Honor, the People rest," and thought to myself, This case is a piece of crap. I'm gonna lose. Then the defendant would take the stand and lose the case right back to me. He'd say things that proved his guilt, or were so terrible that they made the jurors want to convict him as fast as they could. I'd win. Afterward, I'd think, Why did the defense put on a case at all? Why didn't the attorney just rest right after I rested, and then argue to the jury that I hadn't proved much of anything—certainly not enough to send a person to prison?
It took me a while to figure it out. The answer was that the defendant wanted to testify. Crooks tend to be people who have spent their lives pulling a fast one on family, friends, and acquaintances. They peddle bullshit, and over the course of time they hone their craft to the point that they think they will always be able to bullshit their way out of trouble. Then they get to court and it doesn't work on strangers, and off to prison they go.
Their attorneys let them do this because it's less hassle. If the attorney keeps the defendant off the stand and the jury convicts, the defendant is mad at his lawyer. If the defendant testifies and convinces the jury to convict him, he has no one to blame but himself. The attorney got paid up front, so who cares? Let the clown testify and convict himself.
Now think about how many decades Donald Trump has been peddling bullshit.
Trump is P.T. Barnum. He doesn't worry about whether what he says is true. He is only concerned with whether what he says is useful. Life is all about—and only about—making a buck. If saying a thing makes him a buck, it's right to say that thing. He thinks all the handwringing over the falsity of his statements is funny. He thinks you're a loser and a sucker for thinking truth matters.
Trump thinks (wrongly) that his utilitarian view of language serves him well because he thinks (wrongly) that he is a successful businessman, and that lying has been one of the engines of his (illusory) success. So why wouldn't he talk to Woodward? Trump didn't talk to him for his last book, Fear: Trump in the White House, and the result was an unflattering portrait. Not this time. No sirree. This time, Trump the con artist was going to bullshit Woodward into writing a paean to the greatest President ever to appear under the Big Top.
No one in Trump's orbit was ever going to stop him. It would be an affront to Trump's ego to suggest that he couldn't put one over on Woodward. Affronts to this President's ego are not well-received. Why put your head on that chopping block? Let the clown testify and convict himself.
It is mildly interesting, I suppose, to wonder whether Trump understands the mistake he made. Does he know how badly he screwed up, or is he confused about all the fuss? If it's the latter, he has come to believe his own bullshit. If it's the former, he will never admit it. Either way, we can expect him to lash out soon at some unrelated target in an attempt to change the subject. The key to sleight of hand, after all, is to distract the mark while the con takes place just out of view. Come one, come all: the circus is in town.

The Speech That Should Be
"My fellow Americans:
"On this Memorial Day we remember the many thousands of American men and women who answered the call of their country and gave their lives to preserve and defend the greatest experiment in self-government the world has ever known. We recall and honor their ultimate sacrifice, and as we do so we cannot help but also recall the sacrifices made on the home front by those who were not directly engaged on the front lines, but who nevertheless felt themselves part of a great struggle in which they were called upon to do everything in their power to support the men and women fighting on the field of battle.
"Today we are engaged in another great struggle that tests our character as a nation and as a people. Our adversary does not hate us—for it is not human—and thus it cannot be made to abandon hatred or change its ways. It has no flesh and no face, and thus does not care how similar are the pigments of our skins or the features of our faces. It does not think, and thus cannot be deterred by any rational calculation. The adversary we face today exploits a fundamental characteristic of the human condition—our need for the company and society of other human beings. That need makes us vulnerable to a virus that exploits our social nature to propagate and to kill its hosts.
"It is precisely because we are being attacked at a point of such vulnerability that we must now summon a strength and unity that eludes us in happier, more pacific times. For this virus can only be defeated if we have the strength to persevere in the measures necessary to allow our front-line health care workers to do their jobs without being overwhelmed with new patients. It can only be defeated if we act with the unity of purpose that ensures we Americans not only keep ourselves safe, but that we protect the safety of our neighbors and our communities, as well. It can only be defeated if we understand that we all stand together or we all fall separately.
"Whatever differences we have in happier times do not matter now. Those differences are a luxury of sorts. A people secure in their health and wellbeing may squabble over economic policy or public morality. But a people engaged in a life or death struggle must be singularly focused on survival—their own, that of their neighbors, and that of their larger communities. When the battle for survival is won, we may indulge our grievances and resume our arguments. But for now, we must give meaning and effect to the name our founders gave us. We must be the United States of America.
"Memorial Day calls upon us to remember that our wars were most often fought by people who were not professional soldiers. Often they were not volunteers. Yet, in every conflict, they summoned the courage to overcome the hardships they were called upon to endure, and to surmount the challenges they faced. Not for one moment do I doubt the courage and dedication of our health-care workers who serve on the front lines of our current struggle day in and day out. Often they do so at the cost of their own wellbeing—sometimes at the cost of their lives. Yet they do not falter.
"Americans on the home front have always rallied to support those on the front lines. We have sacrificed our creature comforts and conveniences so that resources could be dedicated to the fight. We have done without because we knew the sacrifice was temporary—but also because we knew that success was vital.
"It is no less vital now. Americans are no less dedicated to victory and no less committed to the proposition that a free and fractious people will close ranks and stand as one when a threat appears from over the horizon. We may gripe about our desire for a haircut, or a manicure, or an evening out. But we know that these are small sacrifices to make so that weary doctors and nurses can end their shifts and return to their families. We may complain about having to wear a face mask, but we know that it is far easier to do so than to keep our national economy closed. We know that we can do these things for each other and for our nation. We know that when we tell our children about the Pandemic of 2020, we want to be able to tell them we did our part.
"I believe in the resolve and compassion of the American people. I believe that as our health care professionals and our state leaders decide how much we can reopen our country, and how fast, we will listen carefully. Together, we will ensure that all are safe and prosperous. Together, we will win this struggle and emerge stronger than before. On this Memorial Day, let us consecrate the sacrifices made by those whom we honor today by rededicating ourselves to the American experiment with a renewed spirit of national purpose and an unflinching commitment to this common cause. Thank you."

Few items in my store are closer to my heart than John Kirslis' "Fantasy Insect Pins". After graduating from college majoring in jewelry making and several decades working in high-end costume jewelry houses, John designed his own collection of fantastical insects. They are magical! The most basic outfit will be transformed with one of these tender creatures nested on shoulder and nothing I wear brings more compliments. Limited edition pins available.


It's November. Not a doubt of it. I can tell, because of all the usual clues.
I can see my breath. There's a skim of ice on the pond. I need mittens in the morning, because the steering wheel is like ice. The trees have bare branches.
And the grass is emerald green.
It's the oddest thing about November, I find, the combination of brown shrivelled flowers, barren tree branches, and bright green grass.
Grass, you see, is hard to kill. The leaves of many species of grass and lots of other low-lying plants, like clover, are highly resistant to frost. It's hugely to the plants' advantage, of course, that the leaves stay green as long as possible. If they're green, they're filled with chlorophyll, churning away at photosynthesis and maximizing food production. Many plants can photsynthesize even when the temperature is below freezing.
That's because they are able to create a protein that functions like the antifreeze in your car. It disrupts the formation of ice crystals and lowers the freezing temperature of the fluids in the leaf.
Every leaf is made up of cells. If it gets cold enough, the water that fills the leaf between the cells will freeze. But as long as the actual cells don't freeze, the leaf lives on. Photosynthesis continues. Some plants, of course stay green even under the snow. An insulating and hydrating blanket of snow can keep grass green all winter.
But if the temperature drops so low that the fluid inside the cells freezes, that's it. The leaf is dead. Brown grass. But of course the grasses and the clovers live on, as a dense network of roots under the soil. Biding their time till spring.

Brussels must revise rules for long-term savings, think tank says
fofabvlic|September 29, 2020|by admin|0
The solution to poor returns on pension savings is simple – create a pan-European fund to facilitate savings and investments based on long-term results, according to Karel Lannoo, president of the Brussels-based think tank Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS).At a press conference in Paris organised by Carmignac Gestion, Lannoo told IPE the European Commission would need to revise its proposals on long-term legislation.He went on to say that the protection of the interests of private savers for their future pensions required four elements.These, according to the results of a study sponsored by Carmignac in September 2012, require the harmonisation of markets to enable access to long-term products, the creation of a "portable" European product and the easing of investment in illiquid infrastructure investments across Europe. Lannoo told the press conference of the dismal returns being achieved by third-pillar pension funds.He slated the present status quo, referring to deficiencies observed in terms of governance, liquidity profile, asset allocation, investment practices, risk management and communication.He also noted that the study, 'Promouvoir l'épargne européenne et long-term', highlighted that, at present, the debate was "confused".What is needed, according to Lannoo, is a fund structure that ensures transparency and allows for efficient scale and the optimal bundling of services.While any development would be aimed primarily at individual savers, he told IPE, it could also be supported by funds managers holding occupational pension investments, on a fund-of-fund basis.In an earlier statement, Carmignac emphasised the need for retirement savings that would stimulate capital markets as a driver for growth in Europe.Lannoo said at the conference that long-term funds should achieve 2-3% in returns, before inflation.He added that the study was now being considered by the European Commission, and had so far been received warmly be senior officials. read more
European Court throws out UK challenge to financial transaction tax
ivpqr|September 29, 2020|by admin|0
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has dismissed a case brought by the UK government challenging the 11 countries looking to implement the financial transaction tax (FTT).The UK took the case to Europe's highest court after arguing that the implementation of the tax, which will not be levied within the UK, would still affect the City of London's activities.Eleven countries, led by Germany and France, have been pushing for the FTT, also known as the 'Tobin Tax', which is being promoted by the European Commission and Parliament.The UK used its veto on tax regulation in the European Union, as the 11 supporters of the tax, known as the EU11, formed an enhanced cooperation agreement allowing implementation in their respective economies. The UK then went to the ECJ looking to annul the European Council's decision to allow the enhanced cooperation agreement, over fears of an impact on investments in London.However, the ECJ today dismissed the case, arguing that to annul the Council's move would be irrelevant, as all it allowed was the cooperation.It added that the impact of the tax could not be understood until details were created. "[The case] does not contain any substantive element on the FTT itself," the court said."The contested decision contains no provision on the issue of expenditure linked to the implementation of enhanced cooperation. That issue can, therefore, not be examined before the introduction of the FTT."That being the case, the Court considers that the two arguments put forward by the UK are directed at elements of a potential FTT and not at the authorisation to establish enhanced cooperation, and consequently those arguments must be rejected, and the action must be dismissed."The UK Treasury said that despite the case's dismissal, it could still challenge the final proposal for the FTT.However, it runs the risk of not being able to do so without this initial challenge. A UK government spokesman said: "The government is determined to continue to ensure the interests of countries outside the single currency but inside the single market are properly protected as the euro area continues to integrate."Responding to the decision, a spokesman for the European Commission said it was always confident its case was "legally sound" and gave legitimacy to the EU11."The Court's decision gives full legitimacy for the decision to allow 11 member states to proceed with the FTT," she said."We carried out a thorough analysis to ensure all the conditions were met [for the cooperation agreement], among which are no negative impact on the rights of non-participating member states."We have already confirmed the UK would not be negatively affected by a common FTT."The UK's National Association of Pension Funds argued that the FTT was "not the best way to reduce excessive risks or tackle bad behaviour in the markets".The organisation's policy lead for EU and international matters, James Walsh, added that the UK government was right to challenge the legality of the proposed tax.He added: "The ECJ is not saying the UK's challenge is wrong, only that it is premature because the details of the tax are not year clear. By challenging the FTT's legality now, the UK Government has protected its right to make a more detailed challenge later, once the full proposal is available."The FTT has been a hotly contested issue in recent months, with the Commission and the EU11 frustrated by delays to the formation of the tax through blockages.European tax commissioner Algirdas Šemeta, in a speech earlier this year, urged Parliament to push on with the tax and fight interventions from "vested interest groups". read more
Texas Teachers targets co-investments with new London office
rfoka|September 29, 2020|by admin|0
Vaughn Brock, former director of special projects for investment management, will run the office.Brock has overseen energy and natural resources for the fund.Executive director Brian Guthrie said the pension fund's presence in London would be small, with a staff of just three.But he added that Texas Teachers was "ready to hit the ground running to identify new investment opportunities in real time"."By opening a London office," he said, "we will redeploy existing resources so they are closer to where the action is."This will also help reduce unnecessary travel back and forth from Austin."Two staff members will be relocated from Austin, with one additional European investment professional in London.Board chairman David Kelly said: "We are confident our new London office will give [us] a strategic advantage in terms of identifying investment opportunities in the UK and Europe that can deliver greater returns at a lower cost to our members."Texas Teachers said it looked at London as part of an initiative led by deputy CIO Jerry Albright. The Teacher Retirement System of Texas is planning to open an office in London as part of its increasing focus on co-investments.The US pension fund said the office, which it expects to open by November, would be its first outside the US.Texas Teachers said it hoped to increase its access to investment opportunities in Europe and the UK, particularly through co-investments, as well as improve its knowledge of the markets.Infrastructure and real estate are likely to form part of the new office's remit. read more
North Yorkshire Pension Fund to join East Riding LGPS pool
rfdvt|September 29, 2020|by admin|0
The move comes after the £1.6bn Lincolnshire Pension Fund agreed in early January to join as a founding investor and, as IPE reported in December, the £1.6bn Warwickshire local government pension scheme (LGPS) said it would submit a joint proposal with the other local authorities.The discussions come ahead of the Department for Communities and Local Government's (DCLG) initial 19 February deadline for English and Welsh LGPS to lay out proposals for a half dozen asset pools.Warwickshire has only agreed to back Border to Coast Pensions for the first consultation being conducted by the DCLG, and said it could still join a different pool ahead of the second consultation set to finalise pooling arrangements.Emerging asset poolsOther collaborations to emerge so far include a so-called Northern Powerhouse pool, named after the UK government's policy to reinvigorate Northern England, that has seen discussions between England's largest LGPS, the Greater Manchester Pension Fund, West Yorkshire and Merseyside, create a partnership worth an estimated £40bn.Eight other funds, predominantly in the Midlands, have joined with the West Midlands Pension Fund to pool £35bn in assets, and nine funds worth £19bn are in talks to form a South West England pool.Talks among eight funds in the South East, including Norfolk Pension Fund, are set to create a £26bn asset pool, and the eight funds in Wales are also expected to submit a joint proposal.Including the already launched London CIV and the previously announced partnership between the London Pensions Fund Authority and Lancashire County Pension Fund, this would bring the number of pooling vehicles to eight.Because no other funds have publicly declared their support for the £10bn LPFA/Lancashire partnership, however, it is unclear whether it would gain approval from the DCLG, falling well short of the £25bn asset target imposed.After the London CIV, which has invested in a number of equity sub-funds on behalf of members, it is the most advanced of the partnerships, last year naming Michael O'Higgins as its chairman. According to figures compiled by the LGPS Scheme Advisory Board, 81 funds have either declared their intention or are close to declaring their intention, leaving only eight schemes yet to decide. The South West pool is set to be joined by two further schemes, bringing membership to 11, and Border to Coast Pensions is expected to see membership grow to eight, or £25bn in assets, according to the board. North Yorkshire Pension Fund is backing the asset pool being launched by East Riding, boosting the number of participating schemes to six.The £2.3bn (€3.1bn) fund decided late last week it would join the East Riding, Surrey and Cumbria asset pool – christened Border to Coast Pensions – which, since launching in November, has attracted the support of two further funds.Gary Fielding, North Yorkshire County Council's corporate director of strategic resources, recommended that the council pension committee support "in principle" the idea of joining the asset pool.A spokesman for the council confirmed the committee had followed Fielding's recommendation. read more
Cometa shifts to active management, tenders up to 14 mandates
aqkar|September 29, 2020|by admin|0
Fondo Pensione Cometa – Italy's biggest industry-wide pension fund, with €9.6bn in assets – has announced a major investment shift in which it is taking an active approach for most of its assets and tendering up to 14 mandates.The fund said that, apart from getting the best return for its members, it was also important the assets be managed along responsible investment lines and contribute to Italy's development.Annamaria Trovò, president of the fund, said: "The role of the Cometa fund has always been to invest the assets entrusted to us by our members in the best way to guarantee them the greatest pension cover."But at the same time, she said, the fund believes it should not limit itself to this but rather become a guide in the definition of responsible investment parameters, while also contributing the the development of the country. The Cometa pension fund, which has 402,000 members and covers the engineering and related sectors, said it would publish details of the mandates in the first few days of April.Applicants will then have 30 days from that date to submit their bids.The mandates will be for €8.3bn of Cometa's €9.6bn of overall assets, and involve the management of assets in three portfolios: monetary plus, income and growth.The only assets not included in the tender are those backing the two guaranteed pension portfolios, a spokesman said.Up to now, the three portfolios in the tender have been managed using a mix of passive and active investment, but the mandates to be offered will all be for active management.In an interview in Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, shown on Cometa's website, Trovò said: "We are moving from investing according to a benchmark to active investment with controlled risk."We have discussed this at length in the council, and, in the light of current markets, we have come to the conclusion the moment has come to change."The mandates will run for five years.Within the monetary plus portfolio, a minimum of two and maximum of three bond-type mandates will be granted, with this portfolio underpinning pension savings for members close to retirement.At least four – but as many as eight – multi-asset total return mandates will be granted within the income portfolio, which aims to provide a yield in line with the TFR (trattamento di fine rapporto, or severance pay).Within the growth portfolio, Cometa said it envisaged granting at least two and at most three active multi-asset mandates with controlled risk.This portfolio targets pension scheme members with a risk/return profile and time horizon suited to profiting from the higher volatility of these instruments, the pension fund said. read more

Denmark's giant labour market supplementary pension fund ATP posted a 15% return on its investment portfolio in 2016, with almost a third of the return coming from the strong performance of just two of its private equity investments.However, the fund made an overall loss of DKK649m (€87.2m) in 2016, largely due to hedging losses and the fact it added an extra DKK9.9bn to its coverage of guaranteed pensions to account for longer average lifespans seen in the country's population.ATP's new chief executive Christian Hyldahl said: "2016 was a satisfactory year for ATP – and for our members."Even though it had been a turbulent year, he said, ATP had nevertheless managed to produce a good investment return. The 15% gain compared to its 2015 return of 17.2%. "The results have enabled ATP to further prolong the lifelong pension guarantees, as the life expectancy of the Danish population is increasing more than expected," Hyldahl said.Hyldahl started his new job at the helm of ATP at the beginning of January following Carsten Stendevad's departure.The pension fund singled out private equity and corporate bonds as having made particularly positive contributions to the investment return, producing profits of DKK6.6bn and DKK3.8bn, respectively, towards the overall DKK15.3bn investment portfolio gain.During the year, ATP said it made a profit of around DKK5bn on just two private equity investments — DONG Energy and payments firm Nets."Real estate, bonds, domestic listed stocks, commodities, and infrastructure also contributed positively to the return," it said.However, within the investment portfolio, the statutory pension fund's long-term hedging strategy against inflation increases had been the largest detractor from returns, suffering a DKK1.2bn loss, it said.ATP divides its assets — which amounted to DKK759bn at the end of December, up from DKK705bn a year before — into a large hedging portfolio, which backs the pension guarantees it gives, and the smaller DKK100.5bn investment portfolio. Returns achieved on ATP's investment portfolio are not directly comparable with those of most pension funds because of the leveraging effect from the hedging portfolio's assets.ATP's larger-scale hedging activity — its hedging portfolio to back pension guarantees — dealt a DKK4.1bn loss last year, mainly because of the effect of a break in the yield curve the fund uses to discount pension liabilities. This break in the curve results from the change ATP made three years ago in the way its guarantees are structured, which was aimed at lessening its sensitivity to prevailing interest rates and boosting its investment flexibility.ATP fixed the interest rate on the discount curve at 3% after the 40-year mark, using market rates before this point.Before the yield curve break, the hedging activity loss was only DKK100m for 2016, it said.Falling interest rates over the course of 2016 inflated the value of ATP's guaranteed pensions significantly to DKK659bn, with its liabilities increasing correspondingly, the fund said. read more

Last week however, saw a major development that at least attempts to create a stimulus for European securitisation. The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agreed on a package that set out criteria for "simple, transparent, and standardised securitisation" (STS).The parties are hoping that a swift implementation of the securitisation package could unlock up to €150bn of additional funding for the real economy. The deal is seen as one of the cornerstones of the Capital Markets Union (CMU), the Juncker Commission's pivotal project to build a single market for capital in the EU. The intention is to aid the transfer of risk from the banking sector, as securitisation enables banks to transfer the risk of some exposures to other institutions or long-term investors, such as insurance companies and asset managers. This would allow banks to free the capital they set aside to cover for risks of those exposures and hence allow them to generate new lending to households and small businesses. The STS designation attempts to solve a key issue for institutional investors such as pension funds and insurance companies: how to differentiate the more questionable deals that may have complex risks hidden in them from the straightforward stuff? For the more questionable stuff, the capital charge should be punitive, but the problem is how do you differentiate? How do you define what is good? The STS designation provides that seal of approval.As the EU Commission is keen to emphasise, the new legal framework bears no relation to the securitisation of sub-prime mortgages created in the US that contributed to the financial crisis. They are anxious to ensure that opaque and complex sub-prime instruments are not bought unwittingly by unsophisticated institutional investors.This (alongside a business strategy by financial firms of originating securitisations purely to distribute the whole product to third parties) was arguably a key factor in the global financial crash. By imposing high risk retentions on issuing banks together with a badge of comfort in the STS designation, regulators hope to avoid a repeat of the excesses seen in the US securitisation markets pre-2007.European ABS participants have been frustrated by the slow progress in reopening these markets. European ABS never suffered from the losses seen in the US and, to that extent, market participants believe EU authorities have overreacted.Global risk retention rules had suggested that sponsors/originators should retain a minimum of 5% risk exposure to align interests with investors. The European Parliament, however, had decided to increase this to 20% for all European deals. Such a figure would have dramatically reduced the efficiency of ABS as a funding tool relative to alternatives such as covered bonds.It now looks as though agreement has been made to adhere to global standards, at least in this respect. However, the new regulations restrict participation in EU markets only to EU regulated financial institutions. That rules out US companies and also European corporates from securitising trade receivables.More intriguing for the future may also be the question of how the EU's securitisation markets will develop post Brexit, given that the UK has always had the largest ABS markets in Europe. Securitisation in Europe should be a key financing tool for generating growth in the European economy.Unfortunately, the global financial crash in 2007-08 was induced by sub-prime losses in the US, which tarred securitisation across the globe. Regulators in Europe clamped down heavily on securitisation by imposing onerous capital and risk retention requirements. Total issuance shrank from €419.2bn in 2007 to €96.4bn in 2016, according to the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME).Europe has always suffered from a less enthusiastic perception of asset-backed securities (ABS) compared to the US. As one ABS expert recounted, in the 1990s there was a strong feeling that it was an asset class that only institutions in trouble would utilise. The view was often that strong entities didn't need such assets.It appears that underlying sentiment remained in place throughout the growth of the market. When the crisis hit and the poster child for the disruption was the US sub-prime market, it was not difficult for those holding that view to tar the whole European ABS market with the same brush. This has been a major contributor to the punitive regulatory environment seen over the past decade. read more
New research 'quantifies' long-term investment premium
mwlyu|September 29, 2020|by admin|0
Investors with a long-term investment horizon could reap a premium of between 0.5% and 1.5% a year, according to new research – but a major shift in mindset and expanded skillsets are needed to do so.The size of the net long-term investment premium depends on investors' governance, asset size, mindset and investment processes, according to the Thinking Ahead Institute.Tim Hodgson, head of the Thinking Ahead Institute, said: "In the investment world, where there are very few universal truths, it would be hubristic to claim that we and our members have proven the existence of the long-term premium."However, we are more certain than ever that the costs of developing the mindset and acquiring the skillsets to address long-horizon investing challenges are substantially outweighed by the return enhancements. As such we believe this is ground-breaking research because it provides sufficient evidence to answer – with a confident 'yes' – this perennial, billion-dollar investment question." Liang Yin, senior investment consultant at Willis Towers Watson and lead author of the report, said capturing the benefits of long-horizon investing would probably require "a major shift of mindset and significantly expanded skillsets by investors"."It is reasonable to assume the long-horizon premium exists precisely because it is so hard to capture," he said. "In fact, 80 years ago, Keynes wrote a whole chapter on how hard long-term investing was and clearly nothing much has changed since then."The institute came up with the net premium from long-term investing on the basis of a case study of two hypothetical pension funds using a combination of what it identified as eight "building blocks" of long-horizon investment value.It split these into strategies that provided return opportunities and those that led to lower long-term costs and/or mitigated losses.The return opportunity strategies are:active ownership and investing in long-term oriented companies;liquidity provision;capturing mispricing effects via smart beta or factors;capturing an illiquidity risk premium; andthematic investing.The institute attributed potential gains to the strategies, for example arguing that engagement on average generated positive abnormal returns of 2.3% in the year following the initial engagement with an investee company.The strategies or actions that could create a drag on returns are:firing and replacing managers ("round-trip decisions");forced selling; andtransaction costs.The institute again quantified the costs entailed in these strategies, for example saying that forced selling could reduce returns by 1.5% to 2% per annum.Not all of the building blocks were independent, and some were contradictory, it said.In the case study, the smaller pension fund focused its long-horizon efforts on avoiding costs and mistakes, while the larger pension fund, with better governance and financial resources, was able to consider all available options for capturing premia.The institute's next phase of research is to find out how to successfully implement a long-term investment orientation across the industry.The Thinking Ahead Institute was set up by Willis Towers Watson.The research can be found here. read more
One Planet Summit: Investors, regulators 'raise their game'
Asset managers and asset owners have a requirement to take into account risks related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, the European Commission plans to clarify. Presenting its "Action Plan for the Planet" on the occasion of the high-level climate change summit in Paris this week, the Commission foreshadowed a series of measures it planned to take to place the financial sector "at the service of the climate".The summit coincided with the two-year anniversary of the signing of the Paris Agreement.The Commission's measures were intended to provide incentives for investors to invest in the green economy. In addition, although Climate Action 100+ was explicit about including emissions from the use of a company's product, Preventable Surprises said the methodology was underweighting energy utility companies. This sector accounted for around 42% of global emissions, according to figures cited by Preventable Surprises, and was "the low hanging fruit for reducing greenhouse gases".Hayman said investors needed to quickly come to a view about what stewardship activity would lead to the biggest reduction in the shortest timescale, and Climate Action 100+ was the perfect initiative for experimenting with "different theories of change".Lastly, Preventable Surprises called upon asset owners joining the initiative to report on how they were changing their mandates for investment consultants and fund managers to incentivise action on climate-related systemic risk.This was a prerequisite for "real manager commitment and participation in this initiative". In March the Commission would present a plan with these initiatives, it said, which would include "integrating sustainability considerations into the duties that asset managers and institutional investors have towards those whose money they manage, to clarify the requirement to take into account risks related to environmental, social and governance factors".One Planet SummitFrench president Emmanuel Macron hosted a 'One Planet Summit' in Paris this week. Held two years to the day after the UN climate change agreement was reached in the same city, it brought together people and organisations from different walks of life, from those engaged in making a clean economy a reality, to those whose primary power lies in their capacity to finance this transition. An appreciation that action was now needed more than words seemed to pervade at least some of the many announcements made in connection with the summit. But some stakeholders still saw the need to hold to account those making new commitments or launching new initiatives.IPE reported on some initiatives and views expressed in connection with the summit earlier this week.Valdis Dombrovskis, Commission vice-president for financial stability and financial services, said in a speech in Paris that the EU executive would propose to integrate sustainability factors into investment mandates. This would clarify institutional investors' legal obligation to factor sustainability risks into capital allocation decisions. Commission vice president Dombrovskis during the One Planet SummitThis essentially means the Commission is taking forward one of the recommendations of the sustainable finance expert group it has established.The other well-trailed measures included the creation of a "common language and classification system for what is considered green and sustainable", said Dombrovskis. The goal is a EU classification system for sustainable finance.Lower capital charges for banks on qualifying "green" assets may also be forthcoming. The Commission was looking favourably on a European Parliament proposal to that effect, according to Dombrovskis.Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said: "The time has now come to raise our game and set all the wheels in motion – regulatory, financial and other – to enable us to meet the ambitious targets we have set ourselves."This is a necessity dictated by our current living conditions as well as those of future generations. This is the time that we must act together for the planet. Tomorrow will be too late." AXA IM implements new climate policyAXA Investment Managers has brought in a new climate policy that will apply to all of its responsible investment open-ended funds and other products and mandates on an opt-in basis, from the end of January.According to a spokeswoman, AXA IM planned to divest from companies that derived 30% or more of their revenues from coal. The new policy also covered divestment from any companies with significant exposure (30% or more of revenues) to tar sands activities.In April, the asset manager sold its holdings in companies deriving more than 50% of revenues from coal-related activities. Fixed income and equity holdings worth €177m were sold.Climate Action 100+ investors urged to aim highThe advocacy organisation Preventable Surprises has issued a challenge to investors involved in the Climate Action 100+ engagement initiative that was launched in Paris this week.Carolyn Hayman, board member and climate lead at the organisation, said the initiative had set itself apart because investors were saying what they would do as stewards of capital, instead of telling governments or companies what to do."Investors need to quickly come to a view about what stewardship activity would lead to the biggest emissions reduction in the shortest timescale."Carolyn Hayman, Preventable Surprises"Potentially this could be a big shift," she said.Although applauding the initiative, Preventable Surprises raised the question of whether it could actually help reshape the current global warming trajectory by 2020.It highlighted that many major US fund managers – including BlackRock, State Street, Fidelity and Goldman Sachs – did not appear on the list of participating investors."Well before the next anniversary, we hope that climate-aware asset owners and investment consultants will have been able to persuade all major global managers, wherever they are headquartered, to come on board," the organisation said. read more
LD hires Nykredit, JP Morgan for investment admin services
hiezs|September 29, 2020|by admin|0
The pension fund described the bidding round that took place as "intense", and said the quality of bids was very high, with offers including new services.Bidders had changed both the price and the quality of their offerings in comparison with those seen in the previous tender in 2010, the fund said.Charlotte Mark, LD's finance director, said: "We have very high confidence in the cooperation partners we have chosen.""The parting from Nykredit as depositary and BNY Mellon as global custodian is a result of the intense competition and in no way an expression of dissatisfaction on our side," she added.LD is preparing to receive as much as DKK80bn of new assets as a result of amendments made to holiday entitlement rules in order to comply with EU law.In November, a consortium of Danish pension funds bought a 10.9% stake in Nykredit. Denmark's Lønmodtagernes Dyrtidsfond (LD) has hired JP Morgan and Nykredit to provide investment administration services for the next few years for its fund subsidiary Kapitalforeningen LD (KLD).Following a tender process launched last July, LD announced Nykredit Porteføljeadministration had been re-appointed for investment administration services to the subsidiary. KLD holds DKK40bn (€5.4bn) in its investment portfolio, or the bulk of LD's DKK42bn of assets.Meanwhile JP Morgan was appointed as the new depositary and global custodian, replacing Nykredit Bank and BNY Mellon, LD said.It said it had made savings of up to around 30% with the new services compared to the current level of costs. read more

What exactly is Home Ministry doing: Rahul Gandhi slams Centre over Nagaland incident
Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader in Nagaland, has once again blamed the Central government for the deaths of 14 people who were killed by security forces. Rahul has even described the episode as "heartbreaking." 'This is a tragic situation,' he says in a tweet. The central government must take action. Military officials, on the other hand, claim that the event occurred in Oting, Myanmar's Mon district.
"The actual number of people killed in the incident has still to be determined," a police official said of the tragedy. "Eleven people died on the scene." Moreover, numerous badly injured people died as a result of their injuries in hospitals in Assam, a neighbouring state. The Army, on the other side, expressed sincere remorse for the situation that occurred today, i.e. In addition, the Army established a 'Court of Inquiry into the matter.
"This event and what transpired subsequently is very regretful," the Army stated in a statement. The case is being looked at at a high level by the Court of Inquiry, and necessary legal action will be taken. Furthermore, a police official stated that the event occurred between Oting and Tiru villages on Saturday evening while some daily wage workers were coming home from a coal mine in a pickup van. He recently claimed that army forces in the vicinity opened fire on the car after militants from the Yung Ong faction of the proscribed National Socialist Council of Nagaland-K (NSCN-K) were reportedly engaged.

Breaking Into The Business World
Through vocational apprenticeships and business mentorship, young women like Emily Ahebwa are creating new sources of income in Uganda.
Standing on stage at her recent graduation, 20-year-old Emily Ahebwa beamed with pride. A single mother, Emily was unemployed and living with her parents outside of Kampala, Uganda, a year ago when she decided to join TechnoServe's Girls Apprenticeship Program. Nine months later, she was recognized as one of the top five graduates in the program and well on her way to becoming a successful businesswoman.
The Girls Apprenticeship Program (GAP) provides critical support to youth like Emily who face unemployment rates as high as 63 percent. A pilot sponsored by the Citi Foundation, the program worked with 60 vulnerable young women ages 18 to 24 to build the necessary skills and resources to start their own businesses or obtain paid employment. Each young woman was linked to a successful businesswoman who mentored and trained the participant in practical vocational skills, such as tailoring, hairdressing and agriculture, for three to five months. In less than a year, 75 percent of the young women participating in GAP began to earn income with their new skills, and 50 percent have started saving money.
Emily Ahebwa distributes her baked goods to supermarkets in Kampala.
When Emily joined GAP, she dreamed of owning a bakery that would enable her to support herself, her 2-year-old son and her parents, but she didn't know where to start. Emily was assigned a mentor, Phiebi Kandegaire, who had extensive experience in baking and catering.
After receiving intense training, Emily was able to build her own business supplying local supermarkets and retail shops with cookies and cakes. With TechnoServe and Phiebi's support, Emily improved the quality of her products and packaging and started working on formalizing her business in order to supply other big prospective supermarkets. With her regular earnings, she is now able to save money and invest in expanding her business.
TechnoServe President William Warshauer (center) and representatives from Citi presented Emily with a baking oven for her excellent performance.
At the graduation ceremony of the Girls Apprenticeship Program in November, Emily expressed her gratitude on behalf of all the women who participated. She noted that girls in her community face many challenges when they lack the means to support themselves. Many of her peers married and gave birth at a very early age due to their poverty. The graduation gave her hope for a new future.
Robert JJagwe, Executive Director of Citibank Uganda, also spoke at the ceremony. "[These women] provide a great example to us and others of what is possible when young people are given the opportunity to reach their full potential and contribute to the vibrant economic centers where they live."

Saddam Hussein was hospitalized and fed with a tube yesterday, the 17th day of a hunger strike, to ensure he was healthy enough to continue with his trial, the chief prosecutor said. The procedure came as the former leader's troubled trial nears a verdict that could lead to his hanging.
The hunger strike was launched to demand better security for the defense team. The defense rejected an offer of the same security provided to the judges and prosecution lawyers.
Forcing a man to stay alive and trying to hang him at the same time? That is surely reflective of the overall logic of absurdity which is so sadly so common these days.


Have you ever looked at a train number printed on your railway ticket carefully?
If your answer is -Yes! Then next question is what you know about it, apart from the fact that it consist of 5 digits? and that you can use it for doing railway enquiry, like to check PNR status or seat availability.
The 5 digits are not there just to make a number. Each digit in a train number has a special meaning knowing the secret of which you can get complete information about the train.
First digit could be anything between (0-9).
'0' - means it is a special train (summer special, holiday special or other special train like festival special train which railway runs from time to time to clear the extra rush of passengers).
'1' and '2' - If first digit is any one of 1 or 2, it represents that train is a long distance train. It could be of type Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Jan Sadharan,Sampark Kranti, Garib Rath, or Duronto Express train.
'3' - it is a kolkata suburban train.
'4' - it shows that a train is a suburban train of New Delhi, Chennai, Secunderabad, or other metro city train.
'5' - shows it is a passenger train.
'6' - means it is a MEMU train.
'7' - means it is a DEMU train.
'8' - means it is a reserved train.
'9' - means it is a Mumbai Suburban train.
Second digit and digit after it is related to first digit.
When the first digit of train number is anyone among 0, 1, or 2, the the remaining four digits shows the railway zone and division to which train belongs.
'0' - means train belongs to Konkan Railway zone.
'1' - means train is from central railway, west central railway, north central railway.
'2' - here it actually shows Superfast, Shatabdi, Jan Shatabdi trains. In this case, the remaining digits shows train zone code.
'3' - shows that train Zone is eastern railway or east central railway.
'4' - is used to show Northern railway, north central railway, north western railway zones.
'5' - means north east railway, north east frontier railway.

Shipping a car from the USA to Nigeria can seem like a daunting task, but with the right information and guidance, the process can be relatively smooth. In this article, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of how to ship a car from the USA to Nigeria, including what you need to know about Nigerian customs regulations, cost comparisons, and common mistakes to avoid.
Step 1: Research Shipping Companies
The first step in shipping a car from the USA to Nigeria is to research different shipping companies. There are several companies that specialize in international car shipping, and it's important to find one that has experience shipping to Nigeria and a good reputation. You can ask for recommendations from friends or family members who have shipped a car to Nigeria, or you can search online for reviews of different companies.
Step 2: Prepare Your Car for Shipping
Before your car can be shipped, it needs to be properly prepared. This includes cleaning the car inside and out, removing all personal items, and disabling the alarm system. You should also take pictures of the car and make note of any existing damage. This documentation will be important in case there are any issues with the car upon arrival in Nigeria.
Step 3: Get a Shipping Quote
Once you have selected a shipping company, you will need to get a quote for the cost of shipping your car. The cost will depend on factors such as the make and model of the car, the port of departure in the USA, and the port of arrival in Nigeria.
Step 4: Schedule the Shipping
Once you have a quote and have agreed to the terms and conditions, you can schedule the shipping of your car. The shipping company will provide you with a schedule and instructions on how to deliver your car to the port of departure.
Step 5: Clear Customs
When your car arrives in Nigeria, it will need to clear customs. This can be a complex process, and it's important to work with a shipping agent who is familiar with the regulations and procedures. They will be able to guide you through the process and help ensure that your car clears customs without any issues.
Step 6: Pay Taxes and Duties
When your car clears customs, you will need to pay taxes and duties. The amount you need to pay will depend on the value of the car and any applicable import tariffs.
Step 7: Pick Up Your Car
Once all taxes and duties have been paid, you can pick up your car from the port of arrival. It's important to inspect the car thoroughly and document any damage that may have occurred during shipping.
Shipping a car from the USA to Nigeria can be a complex process, but by following these steps and working with a reputable shipping company, you can ensure that your car arrives in Nigeria safely and without any issues. Keep in mind that it's important to stay updated on the import tariffs, taxes and duties, and regulations in Nigeria as these can change over time.
In conclusion, shipping a car from the USA to Nigeria may take some time, but it is doable with proper planning, research, and a good shipping agent. The key is to stay informed and to follow the proper procedures to ensure that your car arrives in Nigeria without any issues.

We need all the food groups, including carbohydrates, in our diet. The question is how much and what kind of carbohydrate works best for us?
All carbohydrates are not processed the same way by the body. Carbohydrates from grains seem to be harder to digest than those from root vegetables and other starchy vegetables. Food sensitivity tests are recommended to see which carbohydrates your body can tolerate and cannot tolerate.
My experience and the experience of other practitioners indicate that some people are intolerant to grains but are able to tolerate carbohydrates from other sources. Some people are especially sensitive to gluten-containing grains as opposed to grains that are gluten-free. There are plant proteins that affect different people differently. Some people tolerate some grains better than others. For example, I have a client who does not tolerate oats but tolerates wheat very well. Someone else can tolerate rice but not corn. Food sensitivity tests are important, so you know which carbohydrates your body can tolerate.
It is best to test one's sensitivity to determine which form of carbohydrate is tolerated by an individual. For those that tolerate grains well, it is healthier to eat whole grains rather than processed grains that have been stripped of fiber and vitamins.
We also need to be aware of the fact that all carbohydrates are digested and broken down into sugars. Whole grains are converted slower to sugar and do not cause the level of insulin spike that occurs after a highly processed carbohydrate meal. The problem with having a large amount of sugar dumped into the body's circulation at once is that it elicits the release of high amounts of insulin that is needed to metabolize the sugar.
Excess insulin will decrease sugar levels quickly and may cause low blood sugar soon after a carbohydrate meal. The person becomes hungry again and craves more carbohydrates and the cycle continues. Insulin increases transport of glucose to muscle cells and fat cells. It also inhibits the breakdown of fat and increases production of triglycerides. Even though insulin is necessary for the metabolism of various macronutrients, excess sugar and insulin produce a metabolic profile that may precipitate obesity and high triglycerides.
We need carbohydrates for energy production. However, too many carbohydrates may negatively affect our overall health and wellness. Food sensitivity tests are important to help each person know which carbohydrate, especially grains, that they may not tolerate well.

2014 Award Finalists Announced Tomorrow!
Our 4th National Annual Awards in association with Ideal Weight are about to reveal over 20 Finalists in the 2014 Awards.
We have received thousands of votes for those companies, organisations and individuals providing the very best lifestyle and "Me Time" activities, classes, events and support for adults across the UK!
Our What's On 4 Me 2014 Awards recognise the great work that your activity providers do, especially the ones who you feel go above and beyond the call of duty, and our Awards will give them the praise they deserve at our fabulous Awards Ceremony hosted on the catwalk stage at the Ideal Home Show at Christmas!
At Ideal Weight we see things differently. We believe that losing weight isn't the hardest part – it's keeping it off that's tricky. That's why learning the skills for long term weight management is at the heart of what we offer.
Unlike most weight loss plans, we don't believe 'one size fits all'. Your ideal weight is personal to you, and only you should decide what it is. We offer a range of eating plans to kick start your weight loss journey combined with weekly weight management sessions with one of our Ideal Weight coaches. This means that when you reach your ideal weight you'll have all the tools and skills you'll need to stay there.
We use the Body Mass Index to accurately measure if you are overweight or obese and your Ideal Weight coach will use this calculation to help you choose which of our plans is suitable for you. The Body Mass Index calculation is a basic and widely accepted way to measure if you're overweight or obese. Medical professionals use BMI to assess health risks. For example, the higher your BMI the higher your risk of certain diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing problems and some cancers.
We know the only way to successfully maintain your ideal weight once you've reached it, is to change your relationship with food. Our coaches are trained weight management experts who'll not only support and listen to you through the usual ups and downs of your weight loss journey, but more importantly, they are there to help you build a positive relationship with food for the future.
Our range of weight loss plans have been developed to fit in with your lifestyle. Ideal Weight offer three eating plans to help you kick start your weight loss journey. On the 4 Plan, all your meals are replaced with four nutrition packs a day and you will have a daily milk allowance. Because this is a very low calorie eating plan and your long-term health is important to us, not everyone who comes to us can do the 4 Plan, and those who are able to, can only stay on this plan for a maximum of eight weeks. Your coach will discuss whether this is an option for you.
The 3 Plan and 2 Plan consist of nutrition packs (you can choose from our range of delicious shakes, soups, meals and bars which are all suitable for vegetarians), plus meals which you'll prepare for yourself from our list of every day food options, which includes a daily fruit and milk allowance. Using this you'll be able to prepare yourself meals like creamy salmon, pork stir-fry, curries and casseroles.
You'll have a weekly session with your Ideal Weight coach to have a better understanding of why you have gained weight in the past and what behavioural changes you can make to manage your weight better in the future.
Once you've lost weight and are close to your ideal weight, you'll have already started putting into practise the skills you'll need to help you maintain your weight in the future. When you reach this stage your coach will introduce you to our weight management eating plans. The 1 Plan is the first step towards weight maintenance. This plan includes one nutrition pack a day alongside three meals which you'll prepare for yourself from an extended list of every day foods, plus you will still continue to attend your weekly session with your Ideal Weight coach.
Once you've finished the 1 Plan, and are ready to start maintaining your ideal weight, you'll start experimenting with food choices, portion sizes and new recipes, and fully put to use all the new skills you developed during your weight loss phase. And of course, the support of your coach and group will also continue throughout this time.
Our coaches are at the heart of Ideal Weight, so finding the right people to work with us is crucial to our success. We recruit people from all backgrounds, however, there's one common thread – you must have excellent people skills and empathy. We recruit against a competency framework to ensure that all Ideal Weight coaches offer the best possible service to our clients. If you think you have the skills to help our clients reach their ideal weight and stay there, contact us now, we'd love to hear from you!
Come and visit the Ideal Weight stand located in the Woman's section for your free BMI check, and enter our competition where one lucky winner will win a spa break voucher for 2. Ideal Weight will also be offering free membership to all new joiners at the show, details of which can be found by visiting the stand.
Ideal Weight will also be returning to the catwalk this Christmas with a new show every day at 12pm and 1pm. They have a great show planned this Christmas, with some festive fun and a few surprises.
Our What's On 4 Me 2013 Awards in association with Ideal Weight, recognise the great work that UK activity providers do to provide us with an Ideal Lifestyle ~ especially the ones who go above and beyond the call of duty.
Our Awards will give them the praise they deserve at our fabulous Awards Ceremony hosted on the catwalk stage at the Ideal Home Show at Xmas!
Our 3rd National Annual Awards in association with Ideal Weight are now open for votes for your favourites and we have been overwhelmed with the response to nominations! We received over 1500 nominations for companies, organisations and individuals providing the very best lifestyle and "Me Time" activities across the UK.

Q: CRTP with Derived templated class failed to compile with error "has already been initialized" EDIT: As suggested, I reformat all the question to be much shorter and straight to the point, if you want all the code, check the edit.
Im trying to explicitly instantiate a CRTP template in a .cpp for 2 reasons,

*

*Enable only specific types of Pixel (mostly arithmetic)

*Speed up compilation time using a .cpp

But by using the following, I have problem with the explicit instantiation at the end of the .cpp, here the code:
Pixel.h
#include <cstdio>               // std::size_t
#include <initializer_list>     // std::initializer_list

template<typename T, std::size_t N, template<typename> class Derived>
struct Pixel
{
    // Friend the derived class to allow it to use current ctor.
    friend Derived<T>;

public:

    T ch[N];

    void print() const;

    // Ctor are protected to avoid instantiation of Pixel object
    // but they are needed to create the array object at the end.
protected:
    Pixel();
    Pixel(T val);
    Pixel(const std::initializer_list<T>& list);
};

template<typename T>
struct PixRGB : public Pixel<T, 3, PixRGB>
{
    // Create an alias for an easy accessor over the base class.
    using Base = Pixel<T, 3, PixRGB>;

    PixRGB();
    PixRGB(T val);
    PixRGB(const std::initializer_list<T>& list);
};

Pixel.cpp
#include "Pixel.h"

#include <algorithm>    // std::copy
#include <iostream>     // std::cout
#include <string>       // std::to_string

template<typename T, std::size_t N, template<typename> class Derived>
Pixel<T, N, Derived>::Pixel() {}

template<typename T, std::size_t N, template<typename> class Derived>
Pixel<T, N, Derived>::Pixel(T val) { for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) ch[i] = val; }

template<typename T, std::size_t N, template<typename> class Derived>
Pixel<T, N, Derived>::Pixel(const std::initializer_list<T> & list)
{ std::copy(list.begin(), list.end(), std::begin(ch)); }

template<typename T, std::size_t N, template<typename> class Derived>
void Pixel<T, N, Derived>::print() const {
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        std::cout << std::to_string(ch[i]) << " ";
}

// PixRGB
template<typename T>
PixRGB<T>::PixRGB() : Base() {}

template<typename T>
PixRGB<T>::PixRGB(T val) : Base(val) {}

template<typename T>
PixRGB<T>::PixRGB(const std::initializer_list<T> & list) : Pixel<T, 3, PixRGB>(list) {}

// Explicit instantiation
template struct PixRGB<float>;
template struct Pixel<float, 3, PixRGB>;

Main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "Pixel.h"

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Sizeof PixRGB<float> : " << sizeof(PixRGB<float>) << std::endl;

    PixRGB<float> a = { 1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f };
    a.print();

    return 0;
}

The compilation error
Pixel.cpp(42): error C2614: 'PixRGB<float>': illegal member initialization: 'Pixel<float,3,PixRGB<float> >' is not a base or member
Pixel.cpp(42): note: while compiling class template member function 'PixRGB<float>::PixRGB(const std::initializer_list<T> &)'
        with
        [
            T=float
        ]
Pixel.cpp(45): note: see reference to class template instantiation 'PixRGB<float>' being compiled
Pixel.cpp(41): error C2437: 'Base': has already been initialized
Pixel.cpp(41): note: while compiling class template member function 'PixRGB<float>::PixRGB(T)'
        with
        [
            T=float
        ]
Pixel.cpp(40): error C2437: 'Base': has already been initialized
Pixel.cpp(40): note: while compiling class template member function 'PixRGB<float>::PixRGB(void)'

Note that I tried to change Base(list) to Pixel<T,3,PixRGB>(list) for testing purpose, and the error message change (as shown above), if I put back Base(list), the error is similar to other two ctors.
The above compile/execute well if I change the template of Pixel to be:
template<typename T, std::size_t N, class Derived>

But I need to know typename such as Derived to support function as this one:
template<typename T2>
Derived<T2> convert() const;

Procedures for applying for support for activities that foster and advance important and significant research within a wide range of academic disciplines and interdisciplinary fields.
A financial subvention to supplement funding from other sources.
A departmental or College commitment to cover teaching in order to provide a tenured or tenure-track faculty member with a course release for work as an editor.
Clerical, graduate student, or editorial support negotiated according to the needs of the journal.
When the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides support for an outstanding journal, the letter of commitment will specify a term, typically not to exceed five years and/or the term of appointment of the editor. A request for renewed commitment may be made; however, College support is extended with the expectation that the editorial appointments for most scholarly journals have specific terms and that journals may relocate with a change editorship. Support will normally be provided only for Editors-in-Chief of journals and for journals that clearly indicate a connection to the University of Kansas. In some cases, Associate Editors or "action" editor roles with significant editorial responsibility and authority may be considered.
(1) A letter of application (not to exceed 500 words). The letter of application should indicate with evidence the stature of the journal within its fields and explain how support for the journal fulfills the research mission of the College. Information about the editorial board and the referees of submitted articles should be included in the letter. If a course release is requested for the faculty member to serve as editor, the role and responsibilities of the editor must be specified.
(2) A summary of basic information about the journal (not to exceed one page). The summary should include the following information, in addition to other factual items about the journal; founding date; list of former editors and institutions publishing the journal; number of issues published each year; average number of articles in each issue; average page length of an issue; number of articles submitted for review each year; number of articles accepted for publication each year; circulation; annual subscription prices for individuals and institutions; prices or awards extended to the journal.
(3) A one-page budget statement. This budget may be presented as a spread sheet and should include information about journal income from all sources; journal costs for production, mailing, supplies, and salaries; and the portion of financial subvention that is being requested from the College. Ideally, journals will receive the majority of their income from a national scholarly organization, a major publisher, or through subscriptions. In general, College support will depend in part on the level of support and commitment provided by the organization or publisher.
(4) A brief letter of endorsement from the chair or director of the unit(s) where the journal is located. This letter should comment on the letter of application and the qualifications for the faculty member to undertake professional service as an editor.
09/29/2015: Policy uploaded to the policy library.
12/01/2006: Approved by the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
