The Board has established an Audit Committee to assist the Board in performing oversight responsibilities. The Audit Committee is composed exclusively of Independent Trustees. Currently, the Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Reynolds, Wachs and Fertig. Among other things, the Audit Committee makes recommendations to the full Board of Trustees with respect to the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm and reviews with the independent registered public accounting firm the plan and results of the internal controls, audit engagement and matters having a material effect on the Trust's financial operations. During the past fiscal year, the Audit Committee met five times, and the Board of Trustees met four times.
The price of the futures contract can deviate from the underlying price of bitcoin on spot markets, which can vary based on sentiment. But in the end, at expiration of the contract, the contract MUST settle at the price of spot. So you need to watch the main spot market price movements because the futures contracts will track the movements underlying (sometimes leading, sometimes lagging, sometimes simultaneously). There are three Chinese exchanges worth following: OKCoin, Houbi, and BTCC; there are two Western exchanges worth following: Bitfinex and Bitstamp. Other exchanges that are currently less important but still worth keeping an eye on are: ItBit, Coinbase, OKCoin USD, BTC-e, and Kraken (which has the largest BTC/EUR orderbook as of December 2015).
participating in a distribution (as opposed to engaging in ordinary secondary market transactions), and thus dealing with the Fund's shares as part of an "unsold allotment" within the meaning of Section 4(3)(C) of the Securities Act, will be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(3) of the Securities Act.
The promoters of these products promise traders a way to beat the market by arbitraging prices between different exchanges. Don't believe the hype. Bitcoin exchanges often have expensive withdrawal processes and hefty fees for trading bitcoin with fiat currencies, such as dollars or euros. Also, settlement of bitcoin trades can take hours. These factors will eliminate any profits from bitcoin arbitrage and may even lead to losses.
There are also purely technical elements to consider. For example, technological advancement in cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin result in high up-front costs to miners in the form of specialized hardware and software.[105] Cryptocurrency transactions are normally irreversible after a number of blocks confirm the transaction. Additionally, cryptocurrency can be permanently lost from local storage due to malware or data loss. This can also happen through the destruction of the physical media, effectively removing lost cryptocurrencies forever from their markets.[106]

Now there is an open interest in the futures contract created. The simple act of two traders with no open interest, one making a limit order which then gets filled by the other, is what creates this position. The exchange then holds the 0.2 BTC margin of each party and the Profit and Loss (PNL) of the contract seesaws between counterparties based on market movements. If the exchange is liquid and rational, then the market price of the contract will change as the spot market moves. So if bitcoin price starts going up, futures traders will bid the price up.
There are so many hoops to jump through to set up for mining and each coin has its quirks. The power of your machine and graphix card and your power consumption are all important. My friend mined for 8month Eth and only made couple of hundred bucks by time you subtract power useage etc. He already had a powerful machine used in film industry for video graphix just sitting around so he thought he'd put it to use over that time for a laugh and see what happened. It took many hours messing around to set up and occassionally nursing it over that period. Of course he had to use his machine also occassionally which compromised the performance.
If a shareholder is eligible for the benefits of a tax treaty, any effectively connected income or gain will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis only if it is also attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the shareholder in the United States. More generally, foreign shareholders who are residents in a country with an income tax treaty with the United States may obtain different tax results than those described herein, and are urged to consult their tax advisors.
Futures contracts derive their value from an asset and more or less follow the movements of the underlying commodity, in our case: bitcoin. They ultimately settle at price of the commodity in the future on a particular exchange, or an index that represents a basket of prices at different exchanges. So if you have a weekly future's contract and you don't want to sell out of it on the market, then it will expire at the price at a specific time when Friday comes and if you want to maintain your position you must re-open on the new contract period. In the weekly example, if a contract is issued at April 14, 2017, it dies on April 21, 2017. If you buy the contract at a price of $1,100 and you don't sell it for the whole week, and the price ends on April 21 at $1,200, then you profit.

The regulation of bitcoin, digital assets and related products and services continues to evolve. The inconsistent and sometimes conflicting regulatory landscape may make it more difficult for bitcoin businesses to provide services, which may impede the growth of the bitcoin economy and have an adverse effect on consumer adoption of bitcoin. There is a possibility of future regulatory change altering, perhaps to a material extent, the nature of an investment in the Funds or the ability of the Funds to continue to operate. Additionally, to the extent that bitcoin itself is determined to be a security, commodity future or other regulated asset, or to the extent that a United States or foreign government or quasi-governmental agency exerts regulatory authority over the Bitcoin Network, bitcoin trading or ownership in bitcoin, the price of bitcoin and the value of the Bitcoin Instruments may be adversely affected, which may have an adverse effect on the value of your investment in the Funds. In sum, bitcoin regulation takes many different forms and will, therefore, impact bitcoin and its usage in a variety of manners. The European Union has recently agreed to rules designed to reduce anonymity of bitcoin transactions, which may impact the supply and demand for bitcoin and bitcoin futures contracts.
Under certain circumstances, a Fund may recognize gain from a constructive sale of an "appreciated financial position" it holds if it enters into a short sale, forward contract or other transaction that substantially reduces the risk of loss with respect to the appreciated position. In that event, the Fund would be treated as if it had sold and immediately repurchased the property and would be taxed on any gain (but would not recognize any loss) from the constructive sale. The character of gain from a constructive sale would depend upon each Fund's holding period in the property. Appropriate adjustments would be made in the amount of any gain or loss subsequently realized on the position to reflect the gain recognized on the constructive sale. Loss from a constructive sale would be recognized when the property was subsequently disposed of, and its character would depend on the Fund's holding period and the application of various loss deferral provisions of the Code. Constructive sale treatment does not generally apply to a transaction if such transaction is closed on or before the end of the 30th day after the close of the Fund's taxable year and the Fund holds the appreciated financial position throughout the 60-day period beginning with the day such transaction closed. The term "appreciated financial position" excludes any position that is "marked-to-market."
Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Parent Funds and the Subsidiaries are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of a Parent Fund and/or its respective Subsidiary to operate as described in this SAI and could negatively affect a Parent Fund and its shareholders. For example, the Cayman Islands does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax on the Subsidiaries. If Cayman Islands law changes such that a Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands taxes, Parent Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns. See "Taxation" below for more information.
DTC has advised the Trust as follows: it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the 1934 Act. DTC was created to hold securities of its participants ("DTC Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among the DTC Participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the DTC Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own DTC. More specifically, DTC is owned by a number of its DTC Participants and by the NYSE and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC agrees with and represents to DTC Participants that it will administer its book-entry system in accordance with its rules and by-laws and requirements of law. Beneficial ownership of Shares is limited to DTC Participants, Indirect Participants and persons holding interests through DTC Participants and Indirect Participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in Shares (owners of such beneficial interests are referred to herein as "Beneficial owners") is shown on, and the transfer of ownership is effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to DTC Participants) and on the records of DTC Participants (with respect to Indirect Participants and Beneficial owners that are not DTC Participants). Beneficial owners will receive from or through the DTC Participant a written confirmation relating to their purchase of Shares. The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such laws may impair the ability of certain investors to acquire beneficial interests in Shares.
Paul Krugman, Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences winner does not like bitcoin, has repeated numerous times that it is a bubble that will not last[110] and links it to Tulip mania.[111] American business magnate Warren Buffett thinks that cryptocurrency will come to a bad ending.[112] In October 2017, BlackRock CEO Laurence D. Fink called bitcoin an 'index of money laundering'.[113] "Bitcoin just shows you how much demand for money laundering there is in the world," he said.
that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions from a pool of mortgage assets. The Funds will only invest in SMBS whose mortgage assets are U.S. government obligations. A common type of SMBS will be structured so that one class receives some of the interest and most of the principal from the mortgage assets, while the other class receives most of the interest and the remainder of the principal. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, each Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities. The market value of any class that consists primarily or entirely of principal payments generally is unusually volatile in response to changes in interest rates.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:
If a beneficial owner of Fund Shares who or which is a foreign shareholder has a trade or business in the United States, and income from the Fund is effectively connected with the conduct by the beneficial owner of that trade or business, such income will be subject to U.S. federal net income taxation at regular income tax rates and, in the case of a foreign corporation, may also be subject to a branch profits tax.
On top of that, the cryptocurrency market travels at lightspeed compared to other markets. New coins enter the market on a daily basis (in 2016, there were about 550 different coins, today there are about 1,500), and each one has news every day. I'm not doubting your ability to consume and analyze news, but that level of information bombardment will always be more effectively consumed as a group. In these communities, you'll see members link news and relevant articles about coins you've invested in and coins you've never heard of. The community will definitely expand your knowledge much faster than doing it all yourself.
Simply, the OBV is a remarkable technical indicator that can show us if the real money is really buying Bitcoin or quite the contrary they are selling. What we want to see when Bitcoin is failing to break above a resistance level or a swing high and the Ethereum already broke is for the OBV to not only increase in the direction of the trend, but to also move beyond the level it was when Bitcoin was trading previously at this resistance level (see figure below). Here is how to identify the right swing to boost your profit.
The portfolio composition file ("PCF") and the IOPV file, which contain equivalent portfolio holdings information, will be made available as frequently as daily to the Funds' service providers to facilitate the provision of services to the Funds and to certain other entities ("Entities") in connection with the dissemination of information necessary for transactions in Creation Units, as contemplated by exemptive orders issued by the SEC and other legal and business requirements pursuant to which the Funds create and redeem Shares. Entities are generally limited to National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC") members and subscribers to various fee-based services, including large institutional investors ("Authorized Participants") that have been authorized by the Distributor to purchase and redeem Creation Units and other institutional market participants that provide information services. Each business day, Fund portfolio holdings information will be provided to the Distributor or other agent for dissemination through the facilities of the NSCC and/or through other fee-based services to NSCC members and/or subscribers to the fee-based services, including Authorized Participants, and to entities that publish and/or analyze such information in connection with the process of purchasing or redeeming Creation Units or trading Shares of Funds in the secondary market.

Darknet markets present challenges in regard to legality. Bitcoins and other forms of cryptocurrency used in dark markets are not clearly or legally classified in almost all parts of the world. In the U.S., bitcoins are labelled as "virtual assets". This type of ambiguous classification puts pressure on law enforcement agencies around the world to adapt to the shifting drug trade of dark markets.[94]
EDIT: #10 Bonus (Suggested by @kerstenwirth ) — always check the ticker symbol. Ticker symbols are not universal, and may vary from exchange to exchange in rare cases. Those cases, though, can come back to bite you. For example, Bitcoin Cash trades on some exchanges as BCH, while it trades on others as BCC. BCC is also the ticker symbol for BitConnect, which was recently outted as a Ponzi Scheme. If you bought BCC under the impression was Bitcoin Cash, you would've lost a lot of money.
form, number and at such place as such DTC Participant may reasonably request, in order that such notice, statement or communication may be transmitted by such DTC Participant, directly or indirectly, to such Beneficial owners. In addition, the Trust shall pay to each such DTC Participant a fair and reasonable amount as reimbursement for the expenses attendant to such transmittal, all subject to applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
Daily Position Limit Risk - Many U.S. futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made that day at a price beyond that limit or trading may be suspended for specified periods during the trading day. In addition, these exchanges have established limits on the maximum amount of futures positions that any person may hold or control on such exchanges. These limits may restrict the amount of assets the Fund is able to invest in bitcoin futures contracts or have a
CORPORATE DEBT SECURITIES. Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses to finance their operations, although corporate debt instruments may also include bank loans to companies. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most common types of corporate debt securities, with the primary difference being their maturities and secured or unsecured status. Commercial paper has the shortest term and is usually unsecured. The broad category of corporate debt securities includes debt issued by domestic or foreign companies of all kinds, including those with small-, mid- and large-capitalizations. Corporate debt may be rated investment-grade or below investment-grade and may carry variable or floating rates of interest.
A Precautionary Note to Purchasers of Creation Units — You should be aware of certain legal risks unique to investors purchasing Creation Units directly from the fund. Because new shares from the Fund may be issued on an ongoing basis, a "distribution" of the Fund's shares could be occurring at any time. As a dealer, certain activities on your part could, depending on the circumstances, result in your being deemed a participant in the distribution, in a manner that could render you a statutory underwriter and subject you to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). For example, you could be deemed a statutory underwriter if you purchase Creation Units from the Fund, break them down into the constituent Fund shares, and sell those shares directly to customers, or if you choose to couple the creation of a supply of new shares with an active selling effort involving solicitation of secondary market demand for shares. Whether a person is an underwriter depends upon all of the facts and circumstances pertaining to that person's activities, and the examples mentioned here should not be considered a complete description of all the activities that could cause you to be deemed an underwriter. Dealers who are not "underwriters," but are
A Fund will be a personal holding company for federal income tax purposes if 50% or more of the Fund's shares are owned, at any time during the last half of the Fund's taxable year, directly or indirectly by five or fewer individuals. For this purpose, the term "individual" includes pension trusts, private foundations and certain other tax-exempt trusts. If a Fund becomes a personal holding company, it may be subject to a tax of 20% on all its investment income and on any net short-term gains not distributed to shareholders on or before the fifteenth day of the third month following the close of the Fund's taxable year. In addition, the Fund's status as a personal holding company may limit the ability of the Fund to distribute dividends with respect to a taxable year in a manner qualifying for the dividends-paid deduction subsequent to the end of the taxable year and will prevent the Fund from using tax equalization, which may result in the Fund paying a fund-level income tax. Each Fund intends to distribute all of its income and gain in timely manner such that it will not be subject to an income tax or an otherwise applicable personal holding company tax, but there can be no assurance that a Fund will be successful in doing so each year.
These are fundraising mechanisms for newly launched cryptocurrencies. Investors in ICOs receive tokens in the new venture. Investors have poured billions of dollars into more than 1,000 ICOs over the past year. While many ICOs are legitimate, the vast majority have no real business plans or technology behind them. Many get launched with nothing more than a whitepaper by individuals with no technology or industry experience.
Jordan Kelley, founder of Robocoin, launched the first bitcoin ATM in the United States on 20 February 2014. The kiosk installed in Austin, Texas is similar to bank ATMs but has scanners to read government-issued identification such as a driver's license or a passport to confirm users' identities.[60] By September 2017, 1,574 bitcoin ATMs had been installed around the world with an average fee of 9.05%. An average of 3 bitcoin ATMs were being installed per day in September 2017.[61]
State the general effect of any contract, arrangements or statute under which any director, officer, underwriter or affiliated person of the registrant is insured or indemnified against any liability incurred in their official capacity, other than insurance provided by any director, officer, affiliated person, or underwriter for their own protection.
Cryptocurrency is based on knowledge sharing on a distributed platform. The entire transactional history is for everyone to see. One blockchain is one thread of transaction. One unit or one block stores many transactions. The size of the block is 1MB and generally stores around 1000 to 2000 transactions. The data entered cannot be altered, nor can it be removed, enabling a system of complete transparency and trust. The entire money flow for the working model is beyond the traditional practices of controlling tax rates, credit usage, and money supply in the market.
negative impact on the price of such contracts. In order to comply with such limits, the Fund may be required to reduce the size of its outstanding positions or not enter into new positions that would otherwise be taken for the Fund. This could potentially subject the Funds to substantial losses or periods in which the Fund does not accept additional Creation Units.
of the calendar year, and (3) all such ordinary income and capital gains that were not distributed in previous years. For purposes of the required excise tax distribution, ordinary gains and losses from the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of property that would be properly taken into account after October 31 are generally treated as arising on January 1 of the following calendar year. Also, for these purposes, the Fund will be treated as having distributed any amount on which it is subject to corporate income tax for the taxable year ending within the calendar year. The Funds intend generally to make distributions sufficient to avoid imposition of the excise tax, although the Funds reserve the right to pay an excise tax rather than make an additional distribution when circumstances warrant (for example, the payment of the excise tax amount is deemed to be de minimis).
ProShare Advisors, pursuant to a separate Management Services Agreement, performs certain administrative services on behalf of the Funds, such as negotiating, coordinating and implementing the Trust's contractual obligations with the Funds' service providers; monitoring, overseeing and reviewing the performance of such service providers to ensure adherence to applicable contractual obligations; and preparing or coordinating reports and presentations to the Board of Trustees with respect to such service providers as requested or as deemed necessary. For these services, the Trust pays to ProShare Advisors a fee at the annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets for each of the Funds. ProShare Advisors has entered into an Advisory and Management Services Fee Waiver Agreement that waives this management services fee for the Morningstar Alternatives Solution ETF through at least October 31, 2018. Prior to this date, ProShare Advisors may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board.
The CME considers a hard fork of the Bitcoin Blockchain where both forks continue to be actively mined and traded but may not be fungible with each other, as an unusual and extreme circumstance. As such, CME provides that Crypto Facilities Ltd. (CME's administrator) shall be responsible for recommending the necessary actions and responses to ensure the relevance and integrity of the Bitcoin Pricing Products.
Currently there are a several digital asset trading platforms that provide investors with forms of derivative products such as futures, so one could estimate and synthesize the discrete futures curve from the averages of various curves. MVIS research used BitMEX, OKCoin, CryptoFacilities, and BTCC as sources, to construct and approximate bitcoin futures curve based on non-U.S. bitcoin futures trading on these exchanges.
Options give the holder of the option the right to buy (or to sell) a position in a security or in a contract to the writer of the option, at a certain price. There may be imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between price movements of an options contract and price movements of investments underlying an options contract. Lack of correlation (or tracking) may be due to factors unrelated to the value of the investments being hedged, such as speculative or other pressures on the markets in which these instruments are traded. Consequently, the effectiveness of bitcoin options in providing exposure to the price movements of options will depend, in part, on the degree of correlation between price movements in the derivatives and price movements in underlying bitcoin markets. Exchanges can limit the number of positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Sub-Adviser, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund's strategies. Options are also particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, each Fund is susceptible to operational and information security risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber attacks include, but are not limited to gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites. Cyber security failures or breaches of a Fund's third -party service provider (including, but not limited to, index providers, the administrator and transfer agent) or the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. The Funds and their shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result. While the Funds have established business continuity plans and systems to prevent such cyber attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Funds cannot control the cyber security plans and systems put in place by issuers in which the Funds invest.
The consideration for purchase of a creation unit of a Fund may, at the discretion of the Advisor, consist of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities ("Deposit Securities") constituting a representation of the index for the Fund, the Balancing Amount, and the appropriate Transaction Fee (collectively, the "Portfolio Deposit"). The "Balancing Amount" will be the amount equal to the differential, if any, between the total aggregate market value of the Deposit Securities (or in the case of redemptions, the total aggregate market value of the Fund Securities as defined below) and the NAV of the Creation Units being purchased and will be paid to, or received from, the Trust after the NAV has been calculated. The Advisor may restrict purchases of Creation Units to be on an in-kind basis at any time and without prior notice, in all cases at the Advisor's discretion.
For purposes of the diversification test described in subparagraph (b) above, the term "outstanding voting securities of such issuer" will include the equity securities of a qualified publicly traded partnership. Also, for purposes of the diversification test in (b) above, the identification of the issuer (or, in some cases, issuers) of a particular Fund investment can depend on the terms and conditions of that investment. In some cases, identification of the issuer (or issuers) is uncertain under current law, and an adverse determination or future guidance by the IRS with respect to issuer identification for a particular type of investment may adversely affect the Fund's ability to meet the diversification test in (b) above.

The CFE has determined that if the Bitcoin Network is forked and a new blockchain is created, the form of bitcoin on which CFE bitcoin futures contracts and their final settlement values will be based is the form of bitcoin in U.S. dollars traded on the Gemini Exchange. The Gemini Exchange has indicated that it will support the network that has the greatest cumulative computational difficulty for the forty-eight hour period following a given fork. If the Gemini Exchange is unable to make a conclusive determination about which network has the greatest cumulative computational difficulty after forty-eight hours, or Gemini determines in good faith that this is not a reasonable criterion upon which to make a determination, the Gemini Exchange will support the network which it deems in good faith is most likely to be supported by a greater number of users and miners. The Gemini Exchange has indicated it will consult with CFE in the event of a fork. If the Gemini Exchange were to offer trading in multiple forms of bitcoin in U.S. dollars, the CFE would designate the form of bitcoin traded on the Gemini Exchange that would serve as the basis for CFE bitcoin futures contracts and their final settlement values.
5.	Borrow money, except that the Fund (i) may borrow from banks (as defined in the 1940 Act) in amounts up to 331/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), (ii) may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes, (iii) may obtain such short-term credit as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities, (iv) may purchase securities on margin to the extent permitted by applicable law and (v) may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. The Fund may not pledge its assets other than to secure such borrowings or, to the extent permitted by the Fund's investment policies as set forth in the Prospectus and SAI, as they may be amended from time to time, in connection with hedging transactions, short sales, when-issued and forward commitment transactions and similar investment strategies.
FOREIGN SOVEREIGN, SUB-SOVEREIGN, QUASI SOVEREIGN AND SUPRANATIONAL SECURITIES. The Funds may invest in fixed-rate debt securities issued by: non-U.S. governments (foreign sovereign bonds); local governments, entities or agencies of a non-U.S. country (foreign sub-sovereign bonds); corporations with significant government ownership ("Quasi-Sovereigns"); or two or more central governments or institutions (supranational bonds). These types of debt securities are typically
ProShare Advisors, from its own resources, including profits from advisory fees received from the Funds, also may make payments to broker-dealers and other financial institutions for their services and expenses incurred in connection with the distribution and promotion of the Funds' Shares. In this regard, the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor, may directly or indirectly make cash payments to certain broker-dealers for participating in activities that are designed to make registered representatives and other professionals more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Funds, or for other activities, such as participation in marketing activities and presentations, educational training programs, conferences, the development of technology platforms and
When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, a Bitcoin Fund may sell the expiring bitcoin futures contract at a lower price and buy a longer-dated bitcoin futures contract at a higher price, resulting in a negative roll yield (i.e., a loss). When rolling futures contracts that are in backwardation, a Bitcoin Fund may sell the expiring bitcoin futures contract at a higher price and buy the longer-dated bitcoin futures contract at a lower price, resulting in a positive roll yield (i.e., a gain).
The tables below shows performance examples of an Ultra and UltraShort ProShares Fund that have investment objective to correspond to two times (2x) and two times the inverse (-2x) of, respectively, the daily performance of an index. In the charts below, areas shaded lighter represent those scenarios where a Fund will return the same or outperform (i.e., return more than) the index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund's investment objective; conversely areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund will underperform (i.e., return less than) the index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund's investment objective.
The Fund will issue and redeem shares only to Authorized Participants (typically, broker-dealers) in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of assets (securities and/or cash) in large blocks, known as Creation Units, each of which is comprised of [ ] shares. Retail investors may only purchase and sell Fund shares on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer. Because the Fund's shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount).

The Board oversight of the Trust and the Funds extends to the Trust's risk management processes. The Board and its Audit Committee consider risk management issues as part of their responsibilities throughout the year at regular and special meetings. The Advisor and other service providers prepare regular reports for Board and Audit Committee meetings that address a variety of risk-related matters, and the Board as a whole or the Audit Committee may also receive special written reports or presentations on a variety of risk issues at the request of the Board or the Audit Committee. For example, the portfolio managers of the Funds meet regularly with the Board to discuss portfolio performance, including investment risk, counterparty risk and the impact on the Funds of investments in particular securities or derivatives. As noted above, given the relatively small size of the Board, the Board determined it is not necessary to adopt a complex leadership structure in order for the Board to effectively exercise its risk oversight function.
Additions such as Zerocoin have been suggested, which would allow for true anonymity.[54][55][56] In recent years, anonymizing technologies like zero-knowledge proofs and ring signatures have been employed in the cryptocurrencies Zcash and Monero, respectively. Cryptocurrency anonymizing implementations such as Cloakcoin, Dash, and PIVX use built in mixing services, also known as tumblers.[57]
Under normal market conditions, each Fund intends to invest substantially all of its assets in Benchmark Futures Contracts. The contractual obligations of a buyer or seller holding a futures contract to expiration may be satisfied by settling in cash as designated in the contract specifications. Alternatively, futures contracts may be closed out prior to expiration by making an offsetting sale or purchase of an identical futures contract on the same or linked exchange before the designated date of settlement. Once this date is reached, the futures contract "expires." The Funds do not intend to hold bitcoin futures contracts through expiration, but instead to "roll" their respective positions. "Rolling" refers to a process whereby futures contracts nearing expiration are closed out and replaced with an identical futures contract with a later expiration date. Accordingly, the Funds are subjects to risks related to rolling.
Credit Default Swaps ("CDS"): In the case of a CDS, the agreement will reference one or more debt securities or reference entities. The protection "buyer" in a credit default contract is generally obligated to pay the protection "seller" an upfront or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract until a credit event, such as a default, on a reference entity has occurred. If a credit event occurs, the seller generally must pay the buyer: a) the full notional value of the swap; or b) the difference between the notional value of the defaulted reference entity and the recovery price/rate for the defaulted reference entity. CDS are designed to reflect changes in credit quality, including events of default. The CDS Short North American HY Credit ETF will normally be a "buyer" of CDS (also referred to as a buyer of protection or a seller of risk). The CDS Short North American HY Credit ETF will primarily invest in centrally cleared, index-based CDS that provide credit exposure through a single trade to a basket of reference entities. The CDS Short North American HY Credit ETF may also invest in single-name CDS. Single-name CDS provide exposure to a single reference entity and are not centrally cleared.
But… it's also possible that the institutional investors that are negative on bitcoin's prospects (and there's no shortage of those) may use the futures markets to put money behind their conviction. It's much easier to sell a futures contract with a lower-than-market price than it is to actually short bitcoin. These investors may well send signals to the actual bitcoin market that sends prices tumbling.

Two days prior to parliamentary elections in Georgia, the European Union and UNDP unveil the results of election media monitoring.
The 2016 Parliamentary elections in Georgia are the first when the Association Agreement with the European Union is fully in force. Elections are always a test and Georgia has a great opportunity to consolidate the democratic gains achieved during the previous years.
"EU-UNDP media monitoring is a valuable tool to measure and highlight the media's contribution to this process. I am happy to note that the results show more balanced and informative media than in 2012," said Janos Herman, Ambassador of the European Union to Georgia.

Q: Application for wall-mounted information display Does anyone know of an app to manage a wall-mounted display? I'm looking for something that can show a couple web pages side-by-side, and periodically refresh them, or flip back and forth between a couple of pages. It should show in full-screen on start up, and have all this configuration saved so if the system reboots someone doesn't have to fiddle with it.
This would display things like build status, network traffic, performance stats, service availability, etc.
I've looked around, and there are "digital signage" application for high-end markets (eg, running airport flight info screens), and "video display wall controllers" that can do some of this but are really designed to run a matrix of 16 big displays, often with networking capabilities, and the price tag to match.
On the low-end all solutions I've found seem to be one-offs: people are just using screens that some application happens to provide, and rarely, using a web browser in a kiosk mode on startup to display the page (seems like most people don't automate this). This just seems like a primitive way to go - surely someone has written this app? Am I using the wrong terms?
(And in case it isn't obvious, I'm on the low-end market here, I just have a single big display I want to show stuff on).

A: You should check out Xibo
http://xibo.org.uk/
Open Source, Runs on Windows or Unix and works quite well. I had it deployed in a system with single server and 4 displays throughout the building.

A: Have Xorg start up a browser in fullscreen/kiosk mode instead of a window manager. You can even run the web app on the same machine, pulling data from the remote location.

RESTON, US: comScore, a leader in measuring the digital world, today reported holiday season retail e-commerce spending for the first 46 days of the November-December 2012 holiday season.
For the holiday season-to-date US$35bn has been spent online, marking a 13% increase versus the corresponding days last year. The most recent week achieved record-setting levels of online spending, eclipsing US$7bn in sales for the first time ever. Four individual days surpassed US$1bn in spending, led by Green Monday at US$1.275bn.
"We expected this past week to be record-setting and it clearly was, with an impressive spending total of more than US$7bn - an average of more than US$1bn in spending per day," said comScore chairman Gian Fulgoni. "This current week, which kicked off with Free Shipping Day on Monday the 17th, will be critical in making up some ground on a season-to-date growth rate that remains below initial expectations at 13% following a prolonged post-Cyber Monday lull. With many retailers extending their free shipping offers into Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, we just may see the sort of late-season jolt needed to push growth rates back into the mid-teens."

Helicopter Hungaro Copter. Specifications. A photo.
Home » Blog » other » Helicopter Hungaro Copter. Specifications. A photo.
Hungaro Copter - Single private helicopter developed by the Hungarian company Aircraft «Hungaro Copter» in 2011 year.
Designing single aircraft model Hungaro Copter Hungarian aircraft manufacturers started in the late 2000-ies. As a basic design aviarazrabotchiki used a number of American ultra-light aircraft, adapting their technical parameters and improved flight characteristics, thus, to date model Hungaro Copter is very popular in Hungary.
The helicopter Hungaro Copter has a fairly narrow focus of its application, in particular, this aircraft is only suitable for private flights, and, with some restrictions. Nevertheless, the helicopter has proven itself as a private aircraft and continues to be actively used to this day.
Suffice it to compact and lightweight design provides frame-type helicopter aircraft high maneuverability and good governance, which in turn allows you to secure flights over distances of several hundred kilometers.
The first flight tests of the helicopter model Hungaro Copter been in 2011 year, and, in two years of work on the design of this aircraft aircraft manufacturers were able to provide him a very acceptable flight performance, in this connection, all test test project and were successfully completed was admitted to series production, which was launched in the same year.
Hungaro Copter helicopter does not have its own cabin, as such, in particular, it uses only a single pilot's seat and simple aircraft controls, which in turn allows very efficient to operate the aircraft. Due to the small size, Hungaro Copter helicopter can not be used for the carriage of passengers on his board and any cargo, which largely limits its possibilities, however, are quite acceptable cost of one copy clearly contributes to the popularization of the aircraft.
The Hungaro Copter helicopter is equipped with a power unit consisting of a single piston aircraft engine of the brand Subaru J22, capable of developing traction power in 135 hp, which in turn, with the ease of construction of this aircraft, provides the helicopter the possibility of dispersal to cruising speed of flight at 110 km \ Ch., With the possibility of acceleration to the maximum speed of 135 km / h. The lack of a cabin as such, to some extent, affects the discomfort of making long flights, however, this factor does not at all affect safety. The maximum range of the flight of the Hungaro Copter is 205 kilometers.

Windows 8 sets its new Mail app as the default email client. When working on the Desktop on a traditional PC, being bounced into the modern UI is annoying.
Windows 8 sets its new Mail app as the default email client. This is annoying when you click an email (MailTo) link on a webpage and you're bounced into the new UI. Here's how to change it to a different desktop email program like Outlook.
Changing the default client from the Mail app to something else is similar to making PDFs and Photos open on the Desktop, or preventing videos and music files from opening in Windows 8 apps.
Open Control Panel on the Desktop and click Default Programs.
Then click "Associate a File Type or Protocol with a Program" link.
Next in the Set Associations screen, scroll down the list until you find Protocols, and under that you'll see MAILTO. It's set to Mail – double click it.
A windows will pop up asking how you want to open the (mailto) link. Select one from the list or check the Windows Store for one. Here I'm sticking with Outlook 2013 for mailto links. Old habits are hard to break! I've been using Outlook since 97 and still prefer it today. It's definitely better than the current version of the Mail app.
Using the method above will set your default email for all of your browsers. But you might want to drill down and customize it for each browser, and you can.
In Chrome you'll probably want to set Gmail as your default email handler.
Or if you're a Firefox user, it's easy to set the default email client to Gmail or another web based client.
Thanks for this article. However, when I open Control Panel–>Default Programs and look at Mailto, the only options are "Mail" and "Search the Store." I don't have Google Chrome installed, and would prefer not to install it, as I'm a Firefox user. want to use Gmail via Firefox for Mailto, but I can't find an answer anywhere online as to how to get Firefox to show up as an option in the list. Any ideas? Thanks for any help you can offer.
Craig, go to Firefox Options, Applications, and change mailto: to Gmail.
Thanks, Jason. Unfortunately, I've already done that and it doesn't solve my problem. Your suggestion will work for Mailto: links I click on in Firefox, but not globally. For instance, if I click on a MailTo: link in MS Word, or my contact database, it looks for the default option set in Control Panel, and Firefox is not listed as an option there. For now, I've had to install Chrome to avoid using the Win8 Mail app for these situations, but it's not ideal. Perhaps there's no way to do this without a coding solution by Mozilla or an add-on developer. Thanks for trying to help me out here.
I had problems forever trying to get a default mail program that I could use the "send to" option to work for me. Finally I downloaded Windows Live and it became my default and no more problems. You need to have Windows Essentials also.
When you request an "uninstall list" and click on Windows Essentials, it give you the option to repair all or any one of the components without uninstalling them. I've done that to Windows Live several times.
This did not work for me either! I am trying to change Outlook to Chrome (Gmail), but I end up with 2 listings for Outlook and none for Chrome. Very frustrating!
Well, I'm upgrading to Windows 7 over Christmas (when hopefully the workload will diminish). I would have done it months ago, but I haven't had the time and I stupidly held out for v8.1 expecting it would cure all of its predecessor's ills. It's slightly less slack-jawed, but still to dumb.
I went through your instructions but get to MAILTO and just seen the options of Outlook, Mail and Apps.
I already selected Outlook and my Outlook (Outlook 2010) is not recognized. Is there any way to get WIndows 8 to use my Outlook 2010 client?
Every time I turn around there is something that does not work correctly or is inaccessible with WIndows 8. I think it is designed to get you to buy all new software.
I found the solution on another forum.
Go to the Windows Essentials site and download the program. Then go to the Control Panel, Set Defaults, Set Program Access and computer defaults, Custom…..and there will be another option (Windows Live) which is now Outlook.
I already had a Live/Outlook account, so you might want to go to Live.com and get one first. After you install it as the default, you can click the Read Mail icon in IE and get a link, and all the previously greyed out "Send link by email" etc. can now be used.
Thank you for this suggestion. Got a new computer with Windows 8 for Christmas and am slowly chipping away at getting it to work how I want it to (NOT how some total techie envisioned people would want). This is one small step. Thank you!!!
Can anyone help? I signed up on jy hew laptop using my gmail account. My gmail sends and recieves mail just fine. But I cannot send my word documents as attachments and im pretty sure I cant send any attachments. It says I need to associate them. Why I dont know. But whenbi go look for it I dont want to mess anything up and I need to send these word docs so I am loosing it! I already cant use my printer cause its a hp for windows 7 then I go to the ho website and find the download for windows 8 only to get pop ups saying that the file is corupt and cant be downloaded! So just what I need I get a new laptop for school I am doing EMT classes and need my printer and my gmail to send word docs and I cant do either! Anyone with some advise would be really helping me become sane again.
Dexter, Had the same problem with my home laptop, took it to best by, they tried loading wordperfect 4.1 (free download Microsoft doesn't advertise), It did not work my older laptop so I downloaded chrom, this took awhile with help it works. It is cumbersome to use in my opinion but I at least am able to get my documents out. I just set up folder on my desktop and save them there for quick east. Hope this helps.
I can't find the MAILTO icon under protocols. Now what?
While the graphics didn't look exactly like what I had on my Windows 8 Control Panel I was able to follow the gist, make the change, and now email opens in Outlook (13) for me instead of the Windows email. Many thanks for sharing this. It was so nice to actually be able to win a battle for once.
thank this- this was incredibly helpful, but I still cannot change the send mail or webcal or few other protocaols and programs away from being outlook, I should simply be able to select calendar from the app store or from my programs to open .hol right? so, when I click on a link on a site and need to send an email that way, it still defaults to outlook for sending mail…. ical doesn't give an option for calendar….. any suggestions?
Thank you. It is helpful.
If only we had these options in Windows 8.1. I have tried everything to make Outlook my default or anything that will allow me to click on a photo and have the option to send to an email recipient like in Windows XP. I have Yahoo Mail, AT&T Mail, and Outlook and I keep getting the message "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install a email program or if one is installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel. When I go there, click on the icon Mail, it gives no other option to change, correct, add, or delete. Disgusting.
Wow… looks like there are many of us sharing the same frustration. I too just bought a computer with Windows 8.1 and am having the same issues with trying to send a picture, receiving the message, "Create an E-mail Association in Default Programs Control Panel." without luck of it actually changing. I am sure there is a solution out there and hope we can all have this issue resolved soon. Someone? Thanks!!
Melanie,this is what I would love to do and have tried to do, but when I click on "Mail To", it does not list Outlook at all. It only lists, Mail, Google Chrome, or the Store. I do not want Google, and when I go to the Store, everything that has the name Outlook on it, is not the email program and when I type in the search for Outlook Email, it does not come up. I spent a long time on the phone just today with Microsoft, and they did not solve this problem but kept giving the alternatives of how to "Send To", and that was to forward your photos and files to a mail recipient. I got tired and gave up on the call. From reading other replies above, I see others have the same problem. I cannot imagine why MS does not list Outlook for an option to make it your default. At least it doesn't on my Windows 8.1.Thank you for you input, however, and I have tried it over and over and does not work for me.
action. Please install an email program or if one is installed, create an association on the Default Programs Control Panel. This is what I tried to explain to MS on phone today that I could not use the "send to" option because none of my email programs worked as a default even tho I have tried all the steps as listed above to create an association. As stated, I want Outlook as default but it is not listed as an option.
01.) I did a search on I.E. for Windows Essentials. I then downloaded Windows Essentials 2012.
02.) Then went to Start>Control Panel>Programs>Default Programs>Associate a file type or protocol with a program> Double Click on MAILTO> Choose Windows Live Mail.
03.) I have a GMail Account, so went into Tools and made sure that I had enabled IMAP for that account.
06.) The Pictures sent out! It took longer for the recipients to receive them, than before, but they sent.
I hope this helps and I hope I didn't forget something, as I didn't write everything down as I went, which I wish now I had, so that I don't misguide anyone in the steps I took.
Whew!! Glad you have got this working for you. That is a headway. I plan to go through these steps and see what happens and will let you know. I have noticed on my programs list that I do have Windows Essentials. Thanks so much for all this info.
Doesn't work for me. It is as if I do not have an email program installed. One problem, when I went to IE>Tools>Compatibility View Settings, that required a website address, not an email account. I did add Outlook.com thinking that may make outlook email available but it didn't. I already had Windows Essentials 2012 listed in my programs, so did not download it again. I can use all 3 of my email programs just fine, but still cannot use the "send to" option.
This is the easiest and most simple instructions as to add a default program as I have seen and have tried it many times.
My problem is when I go through all the steps and come to the options of the programs, (Mail, Google Chrome, Windows Mail Live, Outlook), my option window shows only three and the one I want, Outlook, is not listed. I don't know how to get it listed as an option. I use it all the time for my email, but not option to click on and there is no browse option either. I have used the Office repair and that makes no changes.
Mail Live and outlook are the same thing now. Click Mail live and see what happens.
I have windows 8 and I am trying to set yahoo has my default. I followed the step and when I click on pdf file that I want to email, it brings up outlook 2013. any other suggestions?
Yahoo isn't set up with that capability. It's independent of Windows. You have to use Outlook/windows live after installing windows essential.
I have Yahoo set as my home page, so that I can check it as soon as I open explorer. But you'll never be able to use it to email outside web page links or pdf files .
In my laptop the "People" and "Mail" Apps are pulling up the default account of a temporary user. I am not able to configure my personal accounts to these apps.can someone suggest how I can disable the existing default and enable my intended default accounts?
Pay no attention to the article. The solution is in the comments. I'll repost.
Thanks for this!! Worked great!!!
How do I put the option of seamonkey into that box that pops up?
I think I'm too old to answer that. Never heard of it. haha….
I think you have to use an Outlook email address to send web pages from IE. Other email apps aren't set up for that capability. Use seamonkey for everything else.
I use a private email service. I use Chrome as my browser. I have set the default to Chrome. Still I can't send mail from any program. I get the the sign: " Associate a mail protocol " it demands.
You have to select a program in the protocols that it will use everythime. I don't know anything about chrome, but if you scroll back up to the article, it says there's a separate protocol for Chrome. If your private email service isn't on the list to select (to associate) you can't use it. You'll have to pick another one. I think they suggest gmail (of course), so just make a gmail account to send links etc. and use your private one for other things.
I thank you for your help. I have a windows live email (Hotmail) and had to download windows essentials for it to appear in protocols. I then set up live with my Hotmail account and walaa. it works. I currently have open office which will not link to email but if I use a different format, it works fine. again thanks for your assistance.
Lorna, as you can tell from my many previous comments, I really had a problem to establish a default email in order to use the benefits of the "send to " menu to quickly send photos and documents even though I had windows essentials from day one of Windows 8.1. However, once I downloaded Windows Live Mail, I was able to use it as my default email program immediately. No more problems in that area.
You can't. Live/Outlook is the only app that will allow you to send links to web pages, etc. I use Yahoo as my main email, and have that as my home page. But Windows 8 is not set up to have Yahoo as the defult.
Could this be the reason that my yahoo email locks ups or runs really slow? I have windows 8 on my laptop and everytime I go and check my email it says yahoo is not responding recover page/or quit, or just freezes up? I thought about going to chrom and still using my yahoo as my email becasue I have had that for years and I don't want to change that. Soooooo my question is if I do change to chrom will I have to reset all my passwords on everything on my laptop? Will this even work??? I'm not very good with this kinda stuff so I need as much help as I can get, this is very frustrating as sometime it take like 10 or 15 mintues just to send an email or anything, Can someone help me please? Thanks.
Thank you for this!!!! I couldn't figure it out on my own.
I want to use OE Classic and Windows 8.1 does not want it.
I guess no one has an answer for this scenario? OE Express….
Thanks for the tip. This is just another example of Microsoft being sleazy, sneaky and arrogant with these bait and switch tactics to get you stuck in their products, instead of allowing users to simply choose for themselves.
I was going nuts this am trying to use a link online to bring up a NEW email form to send to the site I was at…using miserable WIN8–boohiss.
I finally got my windows live mail preference to launch from the link click, but no new "preaddressed" email form appeared. I sort of went thru things kind of backward as it happens. I use Firefox so I went to OPTIONS and found the "mailto" under applications…but NO live mail was listed so I somehow used "use other" and "application details/browse" and found my live mail application on my C drive and entered it.
That brought up live mail instead of the stupid win8 mail app which doesn't support my POP3, and I'm used to live mail anyway and try my BEST to avoid win8's silly app frenzy…but I still got NO new mail form! A bunch of searching later, I found the instructions for changing defaults on my computer AND in Firefox and then went BACK to OPTIONS/Applications/MailTo…and NOW there was a different looking icon for Windows Live Mail so I selected that and now it WORKS! New preaddressed email form to use.
As further advice, I used the instructions above to set defaults for BOTH of the top 2 "categories" listed in the window…the top one set my default for my computer and the 2nd set the default for my MAILTO…that step was ALSO a biggie. I hope I got everything here…and thanks for the helpful steps here.
Welcome to the other side! You fought well….
And you're such a ……..droonfang……..I've been alerted for the last couple of years every time someone posts, and I am so amazed that people still find this old thread, that they read the comments (because that's where the real answers are) and that Windows 8 is still a piece of crap and hasn't fixed this yet (still the same for 8.1). Plus you actually put in new information! It will be here forever…..
I didn't read all the comments, but I had two choices when trying to install default email in Win 8.1.
Look for an app in the Store.
when you click on a link for email, copy & paste the target email address into Gmail, and send it from Chrome. You cannot configure Windows 8.1 to accept ANYTHING except Outlook (which I never use).
As in most things in Windows 8.1, there seems to be no alternative to using an MS product unless it is in the "Microsoft Store." So if you are using well liked email program, forget it!

According to the newly released 2012 Safety Ranking from Europe's Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre (JACDEC), Finnair is the world's safest major airline, with a safety index of 0.005. The top-ranking U.S. airline, Southwest, is in 21st place, with an index of 0.019.
The indexes, which were calculated by JADEC, a German-based center for aviation center information, were computed using 30-year historical statistics about fatalities, hull losses, serious accidents, and other safety benchmarks. You can take a look at either an English-language summary or a full table in German.
There is no reason to doubt the number crunching. But the big question is whether these safety index numbers are of any use to travelers in choosing an airline. Do they accurately predict the likelihood of a crash or serious accident on any future flight? The answer seems to be no. Just about all the airline safety experts agree with this basic conclusion: No historical data can predict which airline or which airliner will suffer the next significant crash; that's because of the way developed countries oversee aircraft manufacturing and airline operations.
Safety is a primary concern in both design and operation of airliners. The cause of each accident is determined afterwards, and whatever the problem, it gets solved before it can happen again. As a result, each major new accident is almost always due to some new and unexpected problem.
Over the last 30 years, the main common thread linking more than one major accident is poor communication between aircraft and ground control. For several reasons, air traffic control is conducted in English almost everywhere in the world, and misunderstandings or lack of clarity between crew and control tower apparently caused or contributed to several major crashes. Beyond that, crashes are generally one-off occurrences and inherently unpredictable from historical data.
The only time you have to worry is when an airline or airplane is under investigation by a safety agency. And, in those cases, airlines either clean up their problem quickly, or the agency shuts down the offending airline until it improves. Take the current Boeing 787 situation as an illustration. The plane has exhibited some problems; as a result, the FAA is undertaking a comprehensive review. Although the airplane is undoubtedly safe to fly, you would encounter a slightly higher risk of delay on a 787 flight than on another airplane. But whatever the risk, it's tied to the airplane, not the airline that flies it.
So use the safety index numbers however you choose. But don't figure you'll be safer with a low-index airline on your next trip.

California's Green Insurance Products: What They Mean, What They Can Do
While 2020 has been a tumultuous year for risk managers domestically, California has seen more than its fair share of difficulties.
Stay informed. Our Insights Newsletter highlights the latest news and analysis on global strategy, policy and risk. Subscribe to Insights
Economic ramifications for small businesses mounting as a result of the pandemic, more than 650 wildfires scorching millions of acres, and the growing debate over California's passing of AB5, a labor law requiring many gig economy employers to classify workers as employees instead of independent contractors.
There is a bright spot that has been overshadowed by these crises, and it will allow Californians to breathe easier.
Promoting Resiliency: It Is Easy Being Green
On July 14th, The California Department of Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara launched the first database of green insurance products. The database showcases over 400 eco-friendly insurance products promoting ideas such as reduced premiums for low emission vehicles, discounts for green energy use and energy certification, and even offering products that protect low-income communities and natural ecosystems.
The establishment of the database, which is geared towards both consumers and businesses, is important because it empowers users to learn about what environmentally-friendly products are available, which in turn promotes resiliency for the state and the user.
For example, a residence utilizing the green database that chooses to use energy efficient appliances saves money on both monthly utility bills and annual homeowners insurance premiums, while also promoting a cleaner environment by using fewer resources like electricity and water.
As more homes and businesses are encouraged to use energy efficient appliances, assets such as water treatment plants, power plants, and energy grids will be better-equipped to respond to emergencies like a sudden surge in electricity demand due to excessive heat or the decrease in water reservoir levels due to drought- conditions exacerbated by climate change.
As we learned from the past California wildfires caused by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) equipment, resiliency is a more cost-effective strategy than unpreparedness. As of August 2019, PG&E tallied more than $17 billion in charges related to wildfires, a figure greater than its market capitalization and subsequently forcing it into bankruptcy.
A 2019 Wall Street Journal investigation found that PG&E failed to upgrade aging power lines over the years which, in combination with failed efforts to secure tree branches interfering with equipment, contributed to 18 wildfires in 2017. Initial investments in resiliency by upgrading power lines and implementing a consistent tree-trimming initiative would have saved money, valuable firefighting resources, property, and most importantly lives.
A major part of promoting resiliency is rethinking the principle of indemnification. Traditionally, indemnification is a process by which insurers provide payments for covered losses, placing the insured back to where it was financially prior to a loss without rewarding or penalizing them.
In the face of climate change, this model only creates a circuitous cycle where both insureds and insurers end up losing. In 1895, as electricity became more common, and fire risks grew, insurers discussed how they could mitigate this new fire risk.
As a result, fire protection acts and building codes were implemented in the U.S. Insurers must now pursue this same course of action to combat climate change risks.
To limit future losses, insurers need to evolve the principle of indemnification to allow insureds to build back better and upgrade properties for resiliency against extreme weather events, thereby reducing property damage and limiting claims payouts. California's green insurance database is a viable mechanism by which insureds can find the resources to build back better.
Following California's Lead
Commissioner Lara's innovative database encapsulates consumers' increasing interest in pursuing environmentally friendly initiatives. Last year, a scientist from Australia sued his pension fund for failure to disclose the impact of its investments on climate change.
Mastercard recently partnered with Doconomy to create a mobile banking app allowing users to monitor and reduce their carbon footprint by selecting products and services having smaller carbon footprints.
As more states and municipalities emulate California's novel approach to resiliency, the entire country will benefit from transparent solutions leading to a cleaner environment.

The primary reason to buy a pair of shoes is to keep your feet protected. Well, this is ideally the most common thought possessed by people. In fact, there are more to it. Right pair of shoes will influence the way you walk, health of your feet, and in fact your overall wellbeing. Wearing improper shoes will cause a lot of pain in your heels, ankle, calf, knees and even your brain. Therefore, irrespective of your age, you will need to buy a good pair of shoes that should support your feet as well as your walk in just the way it is desired.
As you grow older, there will be a lot of changes in your feet conditions and walking styles. You will lose the fat protection at the bottom of your feet meaning your heels will press even more firmly on the floor causing pain. If not pain, your feet will surely feel stressed, tired and irritated easily. This means you will need a more solid pair of shoes.
Buying shoes for seniors must be done after considering a few specific points. It should ideally reduce if not eliminate all these discomforts. Otherwise, even a minor irritation can cause a heel spur and several other issues, minor or chronic.
To make sure that you buy the right pair of shoes for you or even for your parent, you will need to consider the benefits as well as the features in the shoes.
Reducing injuries and falls: As people get older, they tend to lose their balance. This often leads to falls and injuries. If you buy a sturdy pair of shoes it will keep their feet firmly grounded making them feel properly balanced when they walk. Moreover, the feet often changes in shape as people grow old. These changes lead to issues such as flat feet and several other issues due to the weakened muscles making the seniors feel imbalanced and making them more vulnerable to falls and injuries.
Keep active: The pair of shoes worn should help the seniors to stay more active providing their feet with proper support and comfort. They must be able to move around easily. This will also keep their heart health improved as well as prevent them from experiencing other medical issues such as diabetes and obesity which are common issues among seniors. Therefore, in short, investing in a good pair of shoes is highly productive as far as good health is concerned.
Weak feet will surely lead to host of other problems which is why a food pair of shoes is required. If the feet are weak, other parts of the body will have to compensate that deficit of the feet's functionality. This will result in severe and chronic issues such as back pains, knee problems, and pain in other joints. A good pair of shoes will therefore help the whole body to reap the several benefits.
As for the features to consider before buying shoes for seniors so that they follow the recommendations for senior shoes, you must look beyond the appearance of a shoe. Though this is the first thing you will tend to consider, it should not be the only factor that you should consider. This does not mean a sturdy shoe does not look great.
It makes good sense to buy Resident Essentials velcro shoes instead of shoes with laces as these are easy to wear and fasten. Velcro shoes will not require bending down for lacing and unlacing the shoes especially when balance is a critical issue.
Examining the soles: Flip the shoes and look at its soles. Find out whether or not it has enough cushioning to prevent impact or even to protect the feet from sharp objects. It must be non-slip having proper grip on the floor irrespective of the fact that it is wet or dry. Soles should be soft, light and shock absorbent to ensure low impact on your heels and ankles.
The fit: To make sure that the shoe fits well in your feet wear it and walk around because most shoes look great while sitting down but it may be hard on your toes when you stand up or walk. Look whether or not it has enough room for the balls of the feet, whether it is too tight or whether your feet slip out of the shoe when you walk.
Shoe material: Look at the material used to build the shoes. It must be breathable with no constrictions and tightness. It will not be practical to buy a shoe of any other material that will be uncomfortable on your feet or to walk while wearing it.
High back: A pair of shoes with a high back will provide ample support to the feet and prevent it from slipping out of it. It will also support the ankle as well.
Heels: You may choose a pair of shoes with either a flat or low heel. Ideally, heels should be less than one inch tall because if it is taller you may end up twisting your ankle.
Opening: Your shoes should have a wide opening so that you can not only put in the foot easily but it will accommodate it even if your foot is swollen up. Shoes with wider mouths are more comfortable and roomier.
All these checks will take some time. Therefore, make sure you visit the store with much time to spare. Also visit the store in the afternoon when the rush is low and your feet has expanded naturally to find the right fit.
