Perseverance is on her way to Mars, launched on a United Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. It will take about 7 months for Perseverance to reach Jezero Crater on Mars.
Several projects are planned for its arrival, with goals to search for extraterrestrial signs of life, explore the Red Planet’s geology, bring back the sounds of the planet, use two small slices of Martian meteorites being brought back to the planet as part of an experiment, test suit materials for future travel of our astronauts, launch Ingenuity – Mars Helicopter – to test powered flight on another world, and drill for Martian rock samples and then blast them into orbit by a rocket. A new Airbus satellite will then grab the packaged samples and send them back to Earth. This part of the mission will serve to determine whether life has ever existed on the Red Planet.
In order to achieve all of this, Perseverance will need a strong power source. So, NASA equipped the rover with a plutonium nuclear power source – called Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG) – capable of providing power for 14 years. Nuclear power sources of other varieties have also traveled to deep space on missions like the Curiosity Rover, launched in 2011, the 40-year old twin Voyager probes and the Cassini spacecraft that dived into and through Saturn’s rings.

Fresh Sweet Onion and Corn Chowder from Southern Farmers Market
Cookbook by Holly Herrick
One of the things I get most excited about in spring, at the first
blush spring and early summer, are the pearly-white bulbs of sweet
onions with their glorious crowns of grass-green stems. Pulled fresh
from the just warmed earth, they ooze spring freshness that belies the
dormancy of winter though which they’ve tenaciously grown while the rest
of us have mostly slept. They are put to good use in this delicate,
sweet chowder, in which onion flavor is layered with pungent notes
throughout. Look for the Silver Queen variety. Its crunchy texture pops
in each creamy bite.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup pancetta (or substitute bacon), cut into 1/4” cubes
3 medium fresh sweet onions, trimmed, halved and thinly sliced
(reserve the green stems from 1 of the onions for garnish)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons sweet or dry vermouth
1/4 cup dry white wine
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups fresh corn, cut from the cob of 2 to 3 ears of corn
1 to 2 tablespoons half-and-half
1 tablespoon butter, optional
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter together in a large
saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add the pancetta cubes; toss to coat.
Cook, stirring, about 5 minutes or until lightly browned on all
Add the onions; stir to coat.
Season generously with salt and pepper.
Reduce heat to medium.
Cook until softened, stirring from time to time, or about 12 minutes.
Add the fresh thyme, vermouth and wine. Bring up to a boil and reduce
Cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Add the stock and corn.
Bring up to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
Cook until corn has softened, about another 15 minutes.
Add the half-and-half and remaining tablespoon of butter.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve with a sprinkle of freshly cut thyme and some of the reserved
onion greens, lightly chopped.

Fans of UK duo Bondax have been waiting for approximately three years with bated breath, and finally, the group are ready to deliver exciting news. Their debut album is coming soon, with a teaser arriving in the form of a new single called 'Neo Seoul'.
Soulful and undeniably funky from the get-go, 'Neo Seoul' lands with a video accompaniment shot during Bondax's touring days in Seoul last year. "'Neo Seoul' is the most club-oriented track we’ve ever made," Bondax said of the track in a release. "It stands alone in stark contrast to our album. The inspiration for the track is also a contrast in its own right - it was originally inspired by our memories of touring Asia, but the track truly came into being when we returned from a brief visit to Uganda."

A Birmingham school has come under fire for hosting a ‘secret’ visit by the Israeli Ambassador and accused of ‘screening’ questions.
The acting Ambassador Eitan Na'eh held a 30 minute-long question and answer session with sixth formers at King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Girls , on Wednesday.
A total of 182 past and present pupils has put their names to a letter complaining to the school and the secrecy and asking why questions were screened beforehand.
Linda Johnson, the head of the Kings Heath school , confirmed the visit but denied the questions were ‘screened’, explaining they were chosen using a ‘Question Time style’ format to avoid repetition.
She also confirmed that the students were told about the visit just before his arrival because of “security concerns” and rejected claims that there were armed bodyguards on site. All parents were emailed after the visit.
Mrs Johnson said: “The sixth form students that had been invited to meet with the ambassador had the option not to meet him.
“I think it was an interesting view of the diplomatic service and the situations they deal with. If you never talk in a conflict, you never resolve it.”
The ambassador had also visited Newman University and the University of Birmingham the same day.
The open letter which has been posted on Facebook read: “What is truly shocking, for a school purportedly values its students, is how it actively prevented us challenging the Israeli Ambassador on the Israeli state’s record.
“This invitation could have provided the space for students to interrogate the Israeli state’s foreign policy. Instead it was a purposefully sedated affair.
“To have hosted this event without informing all students, to have screened the questions beforehand, may have spared the Israeli Ambassador his shame but is a disgrace to the open spirit of debate that this school is supposed to cultivate.
“In the future, the School should never prevent students from challenging the powerful and to achieve this, give all students the ability to protest invited speakers by informing all students beforehand.
The school aims to ‘provide the fullest range of quality experiences in a forward-thinking and supportive Grammar school environment,’ according to their website.

Rural Hospitals In Illinois Face Staffing, Transfer Problems As COVID-19 Surges
As hospitalizations due to COVID-19 remain at record levels, hospitals that serve small towns and rural areas in Illinois are facing unique challenges.
When patients in rural hospitals need more intensive care to treat COVID-19, physicians often move them to larger hospitals, which may be better equipped to care for them.
Pat Schou, executive director of the Illinois Critical Access Hospital Network – an association of more than 50 rural hospitals, said as larger hospitals fill up, transfers are getting more difficult.
“It takes calling two, three, four or five places before you can find an open bed,” Schou said. “And it worries the family members, it worries staff.”
Hospitalizations in Illinois due to COVID-19 remain at higher levels, at around 6,000 people every night, than in recent months.
Schou said rural hospitals are having to keep patients longer while waiting for a bed to open up in a larger hospital. They still provide quality care to the patient, said Schou, but it strains staff.
Meanwhile, like larger hospitals in Illinois, rural hospitals are having a hard time finding enough nurses, doctors and other staff to treat an influx of COVID-19 patients.
Schou said the smaller hospitals are often at a disadvantage when it comes to hiring staff.
“It's become a bidding war, and salaries have gone for an agency nurse instead of... $50 an hour, it's $150 an hour,” she said. “There's some real challenges.”
Schou said hospital leaders are focusing on being able to care for COVID-19 patients over the next two to three months, as the surge continues. But they also are worried about the long-term financial fallout of pandemic.
About half the patients in small hospitals serving small towns and rural areas in Illinois are sick with COVID-19.

Throughput 'steady' at co-op marts in 2016 as more dairy stock comes on stream
During 2016, ICOS marts throughput were steady compared to 2015 and nationally the number of cattle traded in the marts was up by 1.5pc to over 1.79 Million animals, according to the organisations Annual Report.
It says most of this increase has been in the dairying strongholds as more cull cows and calves are been sold in co-operative marts.
ICOS also cites the removal of the requirement for pre movement brucellosis testing in 2015 saw increased trading of all cow types in the marts in 2016.
"2016 will be remembered by all dairy farmers as being a difficult milk price year and many depended on the good prices achieved for their calf sales in the co-operative livestock marts to enhance overall income.
"It was a positive year for all store and calf prices even with the decrease in beef prices that slid from €4.15 to €3.70 over the course of the year," it said in the report.
Co-operative marts in the south and east of the country in particular saw significant increases in dairy bred livestock of all classes, but especially calves coming through the auction process.
The significant decrease in live exports of calves was mainly due to buoyant sales prices being paid by Irish farmers and exporters could not compete.
Meanwhile, sheep numbers grew during 2016 by a modest 1pc but prices increased by 4pc. Sales of factory finished lambs continue to fall in most marts but breeding stock and store lambs increased slightly in many marts.

Canterbury Ballet Christchurch New Zealand
I would first like to say a massive thank you to Katie Haines and the volunteers and scholarship sponsors who are involved in the renowned Alana Haines Awards for the golden opportunity to train for one week at Canterbury Ballet in Christchurch New Zealand. I learned a great amount of new technique corrections from this experience and I’m very thankful that I was able to receive this scholarship.
During my time there I participated in a typical full-time week, which included Classical class, Repertoire, Pointe, Pas de Deux, Conditioning and Jazz. My favourite class was Classical. I enjoyed the challenging work that made me stretch beyond my boundaries. I would also like to say a heart-felt thank you to Ms Taisia, Ms Lily and all the teachers at Canterbury Ballet. I learnt so much and was able to take away some very valuable tips from these wonderful instructors.
It was a pleasure being part of the Alana Haines Awards in 2015 and I am very grateful to have received a scholarship. I loved every minute in Christchurch, meeting new people and making life long friends. Because of these awards students like me are able to take part in such learning experiences. Thank you to everyone involved. Because of you I now feel more determined and have greater knowledge in the art I love.

Be careful what you wish for your citizens of Rarotonga and I say this after my own experience with chlorine in Christchurch over the last few years since it was put into our water supply, against the wishes of the citizens of Christchurch.
Briefly the following effects took place:
1. You could smell the chlorine.
2. You could taste the chlorine.
3. Many parents reported that children who had skin issues, their conditions worsened.
4. Most of the citizens were forced to buy bottled water.
5. Thousands of hot water cylinders had to be replaced at huge expense to the home owner due to a chemical reaction between the chlorine and the copper tanks, which caused the cylinders to fail.
The citizens of Christchurch were outraged over this and still are. So do be careful of what you wish for and remember chlorine gas was used in World War 1 to kill soldiers.

Century-old drug approved for sleeping sickness may help treat autism: Study
Washington: A new study has revealed that a well-known drug that was first synthesized in 1916 and used to treat African sleeping sickness can reverse autism-like symptoms in mice and it might help humans eventually.
The findings fit neatly with the idea that autism is caused by a multitude of interconnected factors: twenty percent of the known factors associated with autism are genetic, but most are not. It's wrong to think of genes and the environment as separate and independent factors. Genes and environmental factors interact. The net result of this interaction is metabolism.
Robert K. Naviaux, MD tested the effect of suramin, used to treat trypanosomiasis or African sleeping sickness, a parasitic disease and found that suramin blocked the extracellular signaling pathway used by ATP and other mitokines in a mouse model of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ending the cell danger response and related inflammation. Cells subsequently began behaving normally and autism-like behaviors and metabolism in the mice were corrected.
However, the biological and behavioral benefits of suramin were not permanent, nor preventive. A single dose remained effective in the mice for about five weeks, and then washed out. Moreover, suramin cannot be taken long-term since it can result in anemia and adrenal gland dysfunction.
Naviaux said that correcting abnormalities in a mouse is a long way from a cure in humans but it is believed that this approach, antipurinergic therapy, is a new and fresh way to address the challenge of autism.
The study is published online in the journal Translational Psychiatry.

Select Honda car models have a “replay attack” vulnerability that allows an attacker to unlock said cars and even remotely start the engine from a short distance. The vulnerability was discovered by computer scientist Blake Berry and University of Massachusetts professors Hong Liu and Ruolin Zhou, and Cybereason CSO Sam Curry.
The attack involves a threat actor capturing RF signals from your key fob to the car and resending these signals later to unlock the vehicle at will. The vehicles impacted by this bug majorly include the 2016-2020 Honda Civic cars, including the LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, Si, Type R models.
The vulnerability is currently being tracked as CVE-2022-27254 and is a Man-in-the-Middle type of attack. A video published by the researchers on GitHub demonstrates the unlocking and remote engine start aspects of the hack; however, a working proof-of-concept hasn’t been published yet.
In the News: Cybercriminals take advantage of the Ukraine crisis to target Europeans
Keeping key fob secure is the way to go
The researchers have also mentioned some preventive measures for consumers and manufacturers to help reduce the risk of the key fob signals being captured in the wild. Since most of the vulnerable vehicles are older models, it’s unlikely that Honda will push a security update at the moment.
So, consumers can use a Faraday Pouch for their key fobs, keeping nearby devices from capturing the output RF signal. The researchers also suggest using Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) over Remote Keyless Entry (RKE). PKE makes it harder for the attacker to capture the RF signal considering the proximity required.
On the other hand, manufacturers are advised to implement Rolling Codes, also called hopping codes. This method sends a new code for each authentication cycle of a PKE or RKE system.
The researchers, however, also advise that these measures aren’t foolproof and if users suspect being a victim they should get their key fobs to reset at the dealership.
This isn’t the first flaw of its kind, either. In 2020, Berry reported a similar flaw to Honda tracked as CVE-2019-20626. Honda, however, ignored his report and continued with its zero-security measures approach. Some of the affected cars were as follows:
- 2009 Acura TSX
- 2016 Honda Accord V6 Touring Sedan
- 2017 Honda HR-V (CVE-2019-20626)
- 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback
- 2020 Honda Civic LX

SA signs deal for 20 million Pfizer Covid-19 doses
SA has signed an agreement with Pfizer Inc for 20 million dual-shot Covid-19 vaccine doses, a government official told Reuters on Tuesday, boosting plans to start mass vaccinations from April.
The deal is another fillip for the country worst hit by Covid-19 infections in Africa, as it adds to the 31 million single-shot doses from Johnson & Johnson (J&J) which the government approved last Thursday.
The first batch from Pfizer is expected to arrive late in April, deputy director-general at the department of health Anban Pillay told Reuters, but he did not comment on the price.
The government is buying the J&J vaccine for $10 (about R145) per dose.
After the Pfizer deal, the government will have enough to vaccinate roughly 41 million people out of its total population of 60 million.
The country has also been allocated 12 million shots under the World Health Organisation’s Covax scheme and is likely to get doses for 10 million people from the African Union’s Avatt initiative.
It is not clear whether the Covax and Avatt doses will be a single shot, dual shot or a mix of both.
Health experts have urged the government to scale up its vaccination programme in light of speculation that Africa’s most industrialised country is likely to be hit by a third wave of infections in the winter months of June and July.
SA’s vaccination campaign was dealt a blow in early February when it put on hold a plan to start inoculations with AstraZeneca’s vaccine after a small trial showed it offered minimal protection against mild to moderate Covid-19 caused by the dominant local coronavirus variant.
The government then switched to the J&J shot in an “implementation study” to start protecting front-line health-care workers with limited doses.

With global mobile connections expected to hit 9.7 billion by the end of 2017, data from the World Bank shows which regions and countries are currently leading the way.
According to a recent report by the GSM Association (GSMA), global mobile penetration in terms of connections is fast-approaching 100%, and is expected to blast past the world population by the end of 2013.
The GSMA makes a distinction between mobile “connections” (number of SIM cards on a network) and mobile “subscriptions” (number of individual people on a network).
In its Mobile Economy 2013 report, the GSMA indicated that global connections are expected to reach 7.4 billion by the end of 2013, hitting 9.7 billion by the end of 2017.
The GSMA says that in Q4 2012, South Africa’s mobile penetration stood at 138% in terms of connections. In terms of subscriptions, however, the figure is significantly smaller at 66% of the population.
According to the World Bank, mobile cellular subscriptions are subscriptions to a public mobile telephone service using cellular technology, which provide access to the public switched telephone network. Post-paid and prepaid subscriptions are included.
For the data presented below, we have used the GSMA’s distinction between connections and subscriptions.
Leading the way
According to the World Bank, the Macao region of China has the highest penetration of mobile connections in the world, with 284 subscriptions per 100 people.
Hong Kong, also in China, is has the second highest penetration with 228 connections per 100 people.
When looking at mobile connections, globally, it comes as no surprise that Asia dominates the networks.
With a population exceeding 4.1 billion out of the global population of over seven billion people, Asia has by far the largest base of mobile users.
Top 10 countries by mobile cellular connections
|#||Country/State||Connections per 100 people (2012)
|1||Macao SAR, China||284|
|2||Hong Kong SAR, China||228|
|3||Antigua and Barbuda||199|
When looking at the countries with the lowest mobile connections, north-east African state, Eritrea, sinks to the bottom the chart with only five mobile connections per 100 people, according to the World Bank.
Eritrea has a population of six million people.
Myanmar, where mobile giants recently bid for a lucrative mobile operating licence, is also sparcely penetrated by mobile connections, with the World Bank indicating only 11 connections per 100 people.
Bottom 10 countries by mobile cellular connections
|#||Country/State||Connections per 100 people (2012)|
|199||Korea, Democratic Republic||7|
|193||Central African Republic||23|
The World Bank lists 213 countries and states, 12 of which show no data, hence totalling 201
SA versus the world
According to the World Bank’s data, South Africa has the 41st highest penetration rate, with 135 subscriptions per 100 people.
In its report for 2012, the GSMA reported similar findings, showing that South Africa has a connection penetration rate of 138% – while mobile subscriptions were at 66%. These figures are expected to be 171% and 79% by 2017, respectively.
Comparing like-on-like data from 2011 for Sub-Saharan Africa (53 subscriptions per 100 people) and the Middle-East and North African region (100/100), South Africa (2011: 127/100) shows a mobile connection rate far higher than the global average of 85 connections per 100 people.
|#||Region||Connection Penetration (2011)
|2||Middle East and North Africa||100%|
The global mobile industry brought in US$1.6 trillion in 2012, with mobile network operators contributing over 62% – $1 trillion – of the total amount, the GSMA said.

Just about a week ago, Qasim Rashid (a Democrat running for Congress in Virginia’s first district) was speaking at an outdoor campaign event to about 30 supporters in the beautiful setting of Aquia Harbor in Stafford, Virginia. As you would expect, it was obvious to all in attendance and passers-by that this was a campaign event as the candidate was holding forth with a microphone while standing in front of a campaign banner.
Shortly after the event got underway, Mr. Rashid noticed (as did his supporters) a small gathering of folks nearby who were energetically waving Trump flags. Mr. Rashid reported that he wasn’t quite sure how to respond. Should he just ignore them? A reasonable response, to be sure. As he pointed out in his account of the event, they were exercising their first amendment rights. That is good for all of us.
But then he got an idea. How about inviting them to join his event? What might that look like? Would they accept his invitation? How would they react?
To their credit, it turns out that they did! Standing among Mr. Rashid’s supporters, they asked questions and posed challenges to Mr. Rashid.
One of their concerns was that if Biden was elected he would pack the Supreme Court. In response, Mr. Rashid reviewed the history of court appointments over the last 6 or so years and how it was actually the Republicans who have been packing the court. He reviewed the facts—that it was Mitch McConnell and the Republicans in the Senate who denied President Obama his constitutional responsibility to appoint a replacement on the court when Justice Scalia died. They did so on the grounds that it was an election year and voters should decide who got to replace the Justice.
One man from the Trump flag-waving group admitted (to his credit) that Mr. Rashid had a point. More than that, he admitted that what the Republicans were doing to force the confirmation of (now Justice) Amy Comey Barrett just days before the 2020 election was hypocritical.
What is so interesting about this whole encounter is that it exposes the lie of culture war discourse. In my estimation, the crucial rhetorical work that cultural warriors are obliged to do is prop up the notion that the enemy is so other as not to be worth engaging.
That may be putting it too lightly. It may be that the enemy is so horrible just on the face of it (in the sense of a prima facie case) as to not only not warrant a hearing but to be understood as evil.
What is truly remarkable about this story of Mr. Rashid (a Muslim—which only makes the story richer) and a group of Trump supporters is that he actually managed, by way of a gesture of hospitality and his humble and informed manner of engaging them, to give them pause.
This blog post is not firstly about a Democratic candidate enticing a Trump supporter to think otherwise. That’s impressive, to be sure! But that is not my point.
My point is about the reckless animosity that we are all invited (strongly urged by some folks) to partake in. Through such reckless animosity, we are encouraged to demonize the other to the point that Mr. Rashid’s decision to extend an invitation to his apparent adversaries can seem to be nonsensical.
It turns out, despite the incessant claims to the contrary, that the binaries don’t hold. Sure, we can all point to folks who simply can’t hear. William has had the patience to remain engaged with an AiG apologist (for a total of 68 emails) who can’t seem to get beyond AiG talking points. I don’t know how William does it.
But there are others. William has also had surprisingly productive conversations recently with fundamentalists who wanted to let him know that he has it all wrong. And then, after some dialogue over email, had to take a step back and think about things they had been taught. Two of his interlocutors even apologized for making unwarranted assumptions about his religious commitments.
I don’t know what the answer is to the terribly divisive place that cultural warriors have worked so hard to get us into. And I must say that Mr. Rashid is definitely onto something.
On this eve of the election, when Trump supporters in pick-up trucks displaying Trump flags and American flags endeavor to block traffic and force a Biden campaign bus traveling down an interstate in Texas to slow to 20 miles per hour before trying to force it off the road, Mr. Rashid’s intervention into the culture wars seems not nonsensical, but downright miraculous!
Perhaps folks in the Christian Right could learn something from this Muslim.

I recently had the opportunity to attend a breakfast event hosted by C4ISR and sponsored by SES Government Solutions entitled, “Assured Communications 2016.”
The morning conference brought together senior military decision-makers—such as Winston Beauchamp, the Deputy Undersecretary of the Air Force for Space, Dr. Jeremy Palmer, the Project Manager for DARPA’s Tactical Technology Office, and Eron J. Miller, the Chief of DISA’s SATCOM Division and Peter F. Hoene, President and CEO of SES Government Solutions—together with industry experts to discuss challenges confronting our military in space. The forum provided everyone another opportunity to discuss ways that our military and private industry can work together to overcome those challenges.
The event kicked off with a keynote address by Mr. Beauchamp who began his remarks by detailing the increasingly contested environment that the US faces in space, as well as the sheer importance and pervasiveness that space capabilities have in our war fighting and military operations.
According to Mr. Beauchamp, “Not a plane flies, not a ship sails, not a vehicle moves out without space—whether it’s for communications or if it’s for position and navigation, or with the fore-knowledge brought to us by ISR from air and space. It’s key to every part of military operations.”
Unfortunately, our adversaries have noticed our reliance on space—and have acted accordingly. Countries have put a lot of effort and resources towards replicating US space technologies and capabilities for themselves. Scarier yet, those same countries are actively working to deny our military advantage by negatively impacting our spacecraft and satellite communications.
Mr. Beauchamp illustrated this shift in space when he said, “The decisive advantage that space brings to military operations has been the deciding factor in every military operation conducted to protect our interests around the world—or protect our allies when they’re in need. There are those around the world that have realized how we use space in our military operations and have taken steps to develop capabilities that would both replicate the significant advantages that space brings to the US and its allies, as well as potentially deny those advantages to us as well.”
This increasingly contested environment is new to our nation’s military and requires a new approach to the way the federal government has traditionally approached satellites and space. According to Mr. Beauchamp, “We’ve largely designed and built our systems for efficiency…in an environment where technology is expensive and launch costs tend to dominate. The result is…over the past few decades we’ve aggregated more and more functionality on larger and larger systems. If we’re going to have to launch it anywhere, might as well put more capabilities on it.”
That approach worked for the uncontested space environment of the past. After all, what was possibly going to happen to these large, high capacity satellites? Threats were relatively easy to define.
However, today’s contested space environment presents a different challenge and requires a much different approach. As a result, the Department of Defense (DoD) is actively assessing how they should address future satellite architecture needs.
As Mr. Beauchamp stated, “We have operated for many years under the premise that space was a free good for all and that access to space is an important priority. As others develop the means to deny US space capabilities, we have to start thinking differently about how we design and develop these systems and cooperate with industry to exist and survive the potential contested environment.”
How do we think differently in these areas? First, we shift the focus away from aggregating all military space communications and capabilities onto as few satellites as possible for the sake of efficiency and, instead, focus on resiliency. This means proliferation of satellite capabilities over many more satellites that are harder to identify and target.
When discussing the potential for kinetic and jamming incidents, Mr. Beauchamp said, “…in that environment, I’d like to be able to proliferate capability and spread out my requirements over multiple nodes. I’d rather be a five percent owner in 100 satellites than a 100 percent owner of five satellites.”
Leveraging commercially hosted payloads and the wide array of global SATCOM capacity, the military can effectively distribute their satellite capabilities over a wider number of satellites instead of concentrating these capabilities onto a few satellites, thus complicating a potential adversaries targeting calculus.
Another solution that the SATCOM industry brings to the contested environment is a new satellite technology that many satellite providers are either in the process of launching, or will soon be launching—High Throughput Satellites (HTS). These next-generation satellites either eschew wide beams entirely for smaller, spot beam, or offer a combination of both types of beams.
The smaller spot beams, along with digital technologies, provides baked-in, anti-jamming capabilities that can help ensure communications even in the face of sophisticated jamming attempts. These spot beams are smaller, making it more difficult to jam from inside the beam.
Multiple beams can also be steered to create an area of connectivity around a malicious actor who is working to jam communications. These abilities, coupled with the increased throughput, make HTS another viable commercial option that could increase the security and resiliency of the DoD’s space efforts.
Mr. Beauchamp elaborated on the potential for jamming and how HTS can help when he said, “In DoD, interference is called jamming, and adversaries have become very good at it. We’ve seen a couple of events just recently where folks that had previously kept those jamming capabilities under wraps have unveiled them to make a point. And it’s widely understood that many potential conflicts in the future…[that] the United States and its allies will face a contested jamming environment. So, we want to make use of the commercial capabilities to use small beams, digitally form those beams and potentially use multiple beams to null out sources of jamming.”
It’s quite clear that space is no longer a benign environment. It’s also clear that Mr. Beauchamp is actively looking to leverage the commercial industry in a way that harmonizes the best available commercial and military satellite technologies for our warfighters.
During the panel discussion, Mr. Miller and Dr. Palmer laid out their organization’s current work and mission as such pertains to space and also spoke to some of the exciting ways in which the military is evolving and changing its acquisition process.
Traditionally, the DoD has leased—primarily via DISA—transponder bandwidth from large SATCOM providers as the way to meet its satellite communication needs in theater. Importantly, DoD continues to lease significant amounts of bandwidth to help support military operations around the world.
According to Mr. Miller, “Historically, we’ve leased between seven to ten gigahertz worth of bandwidth per year to support the [Department of Defense]. We had steady growth from 2001 to the high water mark of 2011. And we’ve had a slight tail-off but it’s been holding steady between six and six and a half gigahertz of capacity per year.”
This year-to-year leasing of capacity is not the most effective or efficient way to purchase SATCOM services. As has been discussed in previous articles, leasing this way comes at a premium, as the SATCOM operators effectively have to reserve that bandwidth for government use, whether it’s utilized or not. This model is short-sighted and doesn’t allow the military to realize efficiencies of scale that would come with longer term leases.
Fortunately, these inefficiencies haven’t gone unnoticed by DoD leadership, including DISA’s Mr. Miller as well as supporting Congressional oversight committees that acquire and provide oversight of SATCOM services for the military. A new path forward must be identified.
DISA, in concert with DoD, is exploring what those paths forward might be through the use of SATCOM Pathfinder programs, which are effectively allowing the military to pilot innovative acquisition and management strategies for COMSATCOM services.
As Mr. Miller said, “…what we’re trying to accomplish with the Pathfinders is to better understand our requirements, ensure efficient utilization of what we’re buying, investigate alternative means to acquire, and lastly, investigate alternative management strategies.”
Although they may seem like an unnecessary step—especially with an analysis of alternatives (AoA) rapidly approaching in the near future—these Pathfinder programs are essential at a time of significant change in the industry. The industry is increasingly moving toward managed services as a way to deliver SATCOM to customers, and new technologies—including HTS—are being adopted that are drastically changing the way SATCOM is delivered. This change is forcing the military to reconsider how it was traditionally doing business.
As the SATCOM Pathfinders and the AoA continues, the satellite industry has one request—a seat at the table.
According to Pete Hoene of SES GS, “I would like to see more industry-government interaction, quite simply. I’d like Eron’s team to interact more with the owner-operators. I’d like Jeremy’s team to interact more with the owners-operators and even manufacturers for that matter…It’s absolutely critical, as we move forward, to look to commercial interaction to drive the technology improvements and innovation.”
As the military looks to different ways to purchase and manage their SATCOM resources, Mr. Hoene challenged the government to bring its problems to the satellite industry so that they could find innovative answers:
“We would like to see some bold initiatives. So, say you need an advanced package in Southeast Asia, or over the southwest Pacific. We would step up to the plate and do that in a heartbeat. We can do some experimentation and prototyping and then get these capabilities out to the field.”

Facebook Inc. is planning to rebrand the company with a new name. The Verge, citing a source with direct knowledge of the matter, reported that Facebook is planning to change the name of its company next week. CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to speak at the company’s annual Connect conference on October 28 about the name change.
Facebook Plans to Change Its Name: Report
According to the report of The Verge, there is going to be a Facebook conference on October 28 in which Mark Zuckerberg can announce the new name of Facebook. A Facebook spokesperson, however, declined to comment, saying the company “does not comment on rumors or speculation.”
Let us tell you that Facebook founder Zuckerberg said in an earnings call in July that the future of the company is in the ‘metaverse’. What Facebook is targeting is an Alphabet Inc-like holding company — one of several social networking apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus and Messenger — under one organization.
On October 18, Facebook said that it plans to hire 10,000 people in the European Union over the next five years to help build the metaverse. Metaverse – A new online world where people exist and communicate in a shared virtual space. Facebook has invested heavily in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) and intends to connect its nearly three billion users across multiple devices and apps.

Money managers under the microscope
Back in rude health
The hedge fund industry, it seems, has come out of intensive care and is doing laps around the block again.
After last year’s turmoil, funds are seeing assets flow back, performance pick up and confidence return.
Polar Capital joined the jogging party with net sales of $248 million in the three months to September, more than cancelling out of the net outflows in the previous three months and helping lift assets by 28 percent over the six months. Both the hedge funds and the long-only funds are seeing net inflows.
Meanwhile performance and currency movements have also boosted assets. Hedge fund may still try to sell themselves as a means to smooth the market’s wrinkles, but performance tends to reflect overall movements in equity and credit markets and in turn, sales tend to follow performance.
Polar had pointed to a change in sentiment in its last update, and today felt confident enough to say it is “reasonably comfortable that … continued strong relative and absolute performance should result in a more extended period of investor inflows”.
Should the economy follow the dreaded W-shaped recovery and markets head south, then hedge fund returns — at least on an aggregated basis — are likely to follow and investor money will head back out the door.
But then why dwell on the potential relapse round the corner just when the industry is once more in rude health?

Humans aren't meant to spend all their time in office blocks, surrounded by concrete. A journey to places like Margo Dodd Park isn't just good fun, it's essential to our lives.
It's just one of several reasons that many wanderers choose to visit the marvelous city of San Luis Obispo every year.
The 14 hotels that lie within 2 miles (3 kilometers) of Margo Dodd Park are ideal for travelers who are a bit short on time. A lot of travelers have had a good experience at the Dolphin Bay Resort And Spa, 1 mile (2 kilometers) away, the Pismo Lighthouse Suites, 1 mile (2 kilometers) away, and The Cliffs, 1 mile (2 kilometers) away.
Reserve a room at the Palomar Inn if you’re after a low-priced hotel but don't want to go too far. It's only 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers) away.
It might be the perfect time to spend your cash on something really special. Treat yourself to a lavish experience at one of the high-quality establishments in the area. You might want to check availability at the Avila La Fonda Hotel and Avila Beach House.
If you are feeling a bit worn out from all your adventures, treat yourself to a much-needed caffeine hit at Zorro's Cafe & Cantina, just an easy walk away. If you plan to eat out for dinner, stay in the vicinity and book a table at Del's Pizzeria & Italian. Sharing a bottle of the local draught at Shell Beach Brew House could be just the thing after a busy day.

While the number of older drivers is growing, it is not likely that these graying baby boomers will cause greater carnage on America’s roads, according to a new study by the Highway Loss Data Institute, which is affiliated with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Both are financed by the insurance industry.
Concerned about the impact of changing demographics on claims rates, the institute wanted to see what the nation’s crash trends would look like in 2030. To do that, researchers looked at collision insurance claims rates from the 2010 calendar year by age group. They combined that information with predicted demographic changes in the insured driver population, then estimated what the overall claim frequency would be some 20 years in the future.
The study concluded that the frequency of collision claims over all will remain essentially flat.
“We don’t expect changing demographics to have an impact on crash rates,” said Matt Moore, vice president of the Highway Loss Data Institute. “Other things might change to move the crash rates, but shifts in demographics won’t contribute to a change in the overall crash rates.
It isn’t that older drivers — who do have higher collision claim rates than drivers in their 50s and 60s — become better drivers as they age. Read more…

A rivalry is brewing over which city will dominate the growing activity of REITs in Asia. The stakes are high as both Singapore and Hong Kong attempt to become the preferred means of REIT investment in the region and in mainland China, which has no REIT structure of its own.
“There are about 15 REITs in the pipeline this year,” says real estate attorney Christine Kim, a partner in the Hong Kong office of Jones Day. “Singapore and Hong Kong compete, as to who is better to host these REITs,” adds Kim.
Singapore is clearly the frontrunner with its booming economy and status as a center of international trade. “Singapore has been pushing the REIT concepts hard,” says John Kriz, managing director of real estate finance at Manhattan-based Moody’s Investors Service. “You will find REITs domiciled in Singapore that have many or most of their assets outside Singapore,” he says.
Since its inception in 2002, Singapore’s REIT market has grown to include 16 REITs with a capitalization of nearly $20 billion. Singapore’s REIT market has also become more sophisticated. Just this year, for example, Singapore amended its REIT legislation to allow mergers and acquisitions, including language to protect shareholders. That opens the door for accelerated growth through takeovers, which some market watchers say is imminent. “Singapore is positioning itself as a regional financial center, with REITs as one arrow in its quiver,” Kriz says.
In the other camp is Hong Kong, which currently lists seven REITs and has a market capitalization around $9 billion. Hong Kong just launched its first REIT in 2005, or three years behind Singapore. Unlike Singapore, however, Hong Kong doesn’t enjoy much positive investor sentiment these days, due to a recent emphasis on dividend yield. Recent REIT offerings promised guaranteed yields, but did so by hedging those dividends through swaps and then passed the swap fees on to shareholders. Investors quickly caught on and those REITs have suffered as a result. Shares of Prosperity and Champion – two Hong Kong REITs launched late last year – have been trading below their IPO prices.
“That tainted the market, and investor sentiment in Hong Kong has soured,” says Steve Carroll, managing director of CB Richard Ellis Global Real Estate Securities, referring to the swap arrangement situation.
Carroll isn’t alone in his prognosis. Steve Buller, portfolio manager of the Fidelity International Real Estate Fund, says Hong Kong’s REIT market has been slow to recover from its recent weak IPOs because Chinese investors are more interested in achieving higher returns in the broader equities market. Says Buller: “I would deem Hong Kong a failure so far in introducing REIT-like structures.”
Even so, Hong Kong is a strong financial center and has a geographic advantage over Singapore as the two markets jockey for position in regard to the mainland. “One of the issues for Hong Kong going forward is real estate activities on the mainland and how they will participate,” says Kriz of Moody’s.
REITs seem destined to take a stronger hold in Asia, with the number of non-Japanese REITs projected to double in the next two years. Japanese REITs, while more of a passive investment than their western counterparts, have a capitalization of around $50 billion and number 41. Malaysia and South Korea have 11 and 6 REITs, respectively. Australia, with 72 trusts and a market capitalization of $124 billion, is the largest REIT market outside of the United States, which has a $344 billion market cap.
“Securitization of real estate is growing very rapidly in Asia, following the trend of the U.S. REIT market,” says Chris Leophard, REIT portfolio manager in the Sydney office of The Principal Financial Group. “The Australian REIT market is quite mature and sophisticated, having been through several structural changes over the past 10 to 15 years,” he says.
REITs invariably become part of a maturing real estate market, according to Kim, the Jones Day attorney. While mainland China presents plenty of development opportunities today, developers will demand efficient exit strategies in coming years, she says. If China doesn’t answer that demand by creating its own REIT structure, then other markets will be happy to provide that liquidity.
Says Kim: “Somewhere, there will be major listings of Chinese property companies, or if they don’t, there will be more cross-boarder listings in Singapore or Hong Kong.”

Several domestic and international health institutions such as The World Health Organisation (WHO), the Brien Holden Institute and the British Association of Optometrists (AOP) have published recommendations for the use of myopia control contact lenses. Even though research into peripheral refraction in connection with myopia control is still ongoing , multiple studies have clearly indicated that multifocal contact lenses, as well as orthokeratology contact lenses, have a positive effect on the slowing of myopia progression. Walline reviewed the peer-reviewed literature of studies which used the currently available standard lens geometries and found that the progression of myopia can be reduced by up to 50%.
Aller’s research  however, shows a success rate of over 70% in myopia reduction. A closer look into Aller’s work shows that it is important to not only test the binocular vision when fitting multifocal or orthokeratology contact lenses, but to take this into account in order to improve this success rate and this is borne out in other studies too[7-10].
Aller’s research however, shows a success rate of over 70% in myopia reduction. These studies raise the questions: Why do not all children and adolescents respond positively to these products? How can we improve the products so that myopia prevention has a positive effect on everybody?
Binocular vision investigations which influence the success rate would include measuring the AC/A ratio, accommodative lag and any heterophoria together with an assessment of its compensation.
A high accommodative convergence movement occurring with the accommodative effort (a high AC/A ratio) or a decompensating ‘phoria deserves special attention. A Malaysian study showed that children with a significant near esophoria are more likely to develop myopia and this can be tested with the Schober Test, or a fixation disparity test, at the habitual reading distance. The aligning sphere can be used to indicate which near addition would be optimal for myopia control. Furthermore, an accommodative lag has also been shown to trigger myopia progression and seems to be more prevalent in myopes than in emmetropes. In accommodative lag, the image shell would not be formed on the retina but would be relatively hypermetropic (i.e. behind the retina) and this has been shown to be a stimulus for a progression of the myopia. By having a relatively hyperopic power in the periphery of the contact lens, the effect of the accommodative lag can be overcome. Further aspects which influence the progression of myopia include aberrations caused by both the pupil itself and the size of the optical zone of the contact lens in relation to the pupil diameter . They describe how the pupil diameter also influences which lens design might be more beneficial and this is taken into account in our individualised lens designing.
SwissLens provides an online calculation tool available at www.swisslens.ch/toolbox where you can enter additional measurements in order to obtain the ideal parameters needed for a customised near zone, maximizing the opportunity to achieve the best possible hyperopic defocus control result.
The Relax soft contact lens has been on the market for 9 years with proven effectiveness and the feedback from our customers has been extremely positive. This product is available in spherical as well as toric options, with an almost limitless choice of diameters and base curves to ensure a perfect fit. Depending on the quality of the tear film, we offer different materials, including Definitive74 Silicon, and you can choose between 3 or 6-month replacement schedules. Since 2015, our Relax contact lens has also been available in RGP materials and at the moment we are also developing an orthokeratology version. The combination of our online tool, additional test recommendations and our Relax products will allow a more precise myopia management.
Ongoing studies will also lead to a better understanding of the relationship between binocular vision, the pupil size, the prescription variations and the mechanisms of the longitudinal growth of the eye.

The proposed Wall Street bailout is the ultimate lipstick on a pig. Progressives should oppose it, no matter the cosmetics. I speak as a 20-year veteran of electoral politics, not an economist, when I say there is no way this Congress and the White House can agree on any reforms commensurate with the scale of the $700 billion theft.
This is a plan that Mussolini could have written.
What Barack Obama himself should do is a different matter. He has a track record of proposing greater regulation of Wall Street starting before the current crisis. He would like to appear “responsible” during and let McCain’s long record of deregulatory mania going back to the Keating scandal speak for itself. But Obama, in being too cool, may allow McCain to reinforce his “maverick” status by taking the more populist position.
This is about the presidency, not only the economy.
Progressives should say No to this deal and begin a new phase in building a real progressive movement and more populist Democratic Party in the direction of economic democracy.
On Iraq, progressives have succeeded in discrediting the neo-conservatives, centrist Democrats, and humanitarian hawks. Public opinion in general, and 85 percent of Democratic voters, are with us.
For those same five years, we have had a harder time winning the economic argument. But we have succeeded in blocking the momentum of the WTO, especially towards Latin America, and turned many Democratic politicians against corporate trade policies. The public is with us on protecting Social Security and repealing tax cuts for the rich as well. The trouble has been challenging the core notion behind privatization and deregulation, that is, the myth of the “free market”, trusting private banks and corporations, the geese that lay the golden eggs, to invest in the common good. Everywhere you look today, the trend is towards private financing of schools, colleges, economic development, political conventions, sports teams, even thousands of non-governmental organizations, including progressive ones. Treasury Secretary Paulson, for instance, just became chairman of the board of the Nature Conservancy, threading their futures together. The public sector declines while inequalities grow. Regulations are stripped away.
Many have lost the way from the principles of the Populists, Progressives, Socialists and New Dealers. Those political ancestors saved capitalism in their own ways, but at least they believed in a strong, growing public sector to assert the public good where markets failed. They put more than lipstick on the pig. Collective bargaining, social security, public utilities, regulation of banks and corporations, and the direct election of senators were a few of the reforms that resulted in those eras.
Today the Democrats are looking for the minimum concessions that will help them cave. Since the Clinton era, or perhaps really the Carter era, progressive economic thinking in the Democratic Party has been narrowed to the choices of lipstick again and again. They are incapable of saying No, even to the greatest stick up in the history of our economy. This is the “shock treatment” explained by Naomi Klein, in full view.
Bush and McCain will be satisfied this week if the Democrats win Congressional oversight, modest re-regulation, and perhaps limits on compensation for the executives who are to blame for the catastrophe.
But given the political situation, there is no possibility of any package of concessions that comes near the magnitude of the theft.
For the moment there is little that serious progressives can do, unless – and this is my hope – people unexpectedly go into the streets. But we should realize and drive home the argument that free markets are a faith-based lie, that privatization is greed without fetters, that the public sector must be restored to the role of defending the public interest. The two grand strategies of the empire – militarization and privatization – are failing everywhere from Pakistan to Bolivia. The space is wide open for a populist, progressive, anti-war agenda, rising from below.

Our favorite time of year is upon us: the World Series. Whether your team is in it or not, questions annually swirl around the championship like autumn leaves: Will a team that's never won it all finally hoist the trophy? Will an upstart finish off an improbable run through the playoffs? Will a player make up for past failures and get a shot at redemption?
The sport's inherent drama is a big part of why we originally created Out of the Park Baseball, so we want to celebrate our favorite time of year by offering OOTP 12 for 50% off Oct. 18 through Oct. 27, the end of the World Series. (That date assumes the Series goes seven games, but even if it's a sweep, that price will remain in effect through the 27th.)

The Prime Minister and Chancellor will be speaking to business leaders in Leeds today before visiting businesses across Yorkshire to set out the long-term economic plan for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.
Highlighting what has been delivered and what is underway as part of the ongoing work to build a Northern Powerhouse, the Prime Minister and the Chancellor will also talk about what more can be done across the region. This will include getting 100,000 more people across the region into work by 2020, improving transport connectivity, and backing science, local tech start-ups and creative industries.
Since 2010, employment is up by over 100,000 across the region, over a quarter of a million apprenticeships have been started and there are 22,000 more small businesses. The Prime Minister and the Chancellor will be talking about how to build on this.
Prime Minister David Cameron said:
Our long-term economic plan for Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire, which will create more jobs and financial security for hard-working people across the region, is a key part of our work to build a Northern Powerhouse that can take on the world. The north is growing and by ensuring we have world-class infrastructure, backing business and supporting the industries of the future, we are determined to go even further.
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said:
We want a truly national economic recovery. The evidence is that this is happening. Yorkshire is growing and creating jobs and on many measures doing so more quickly than the rest of the country. Now we need to sustain this and remove the decades old north and south divide. That is why the Prime Minister and I are here today setting out how we will build a Northern Powerhouse. Our long term economic plan for Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire will create 100,000 new jobs, boost the region’s growth by up to £13 billion and significantly improve the quality of life.

Data from: Recognizing cross-ecosystem responses to changing temperatures: soil warming impacts pelagic food webs
Cite this dataset
Fey, Samuel B. et al. (2015). Data from: Recognizing cross-ecosystem responses to changing temperatures: soil warming impacts pelagic food webs [Dataset]. Dryad. https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.k3j13
The energy and materials that move across ecosystem boundaries influence food web structure and key ecosystem functions. Despite the acknowledged importance of such ecological subsidies, surprisingly little information is available regarding the role of environmental temperature in influencing subsidy quality and the response of the recipient ecosystem. We evaluated the impacts of temperature-mediated changes in leaves from deciduous trees, an important subsidy from terrestrial to freshwater ecosystems, on both the producer-based and detritivore-based components of a pelagic pond food web in a field mesocosm experiment. We hypothesized that variation in leaf chemistry driven by increased soil temperature would alter both the quality of leaf subsidies and the pond response. We collected red maple Acer rubrum leaves from heated and ambient temperature plots from the long-term soil warming experiment at the Harvard Experimental Forest and added them to 167-l field mesocosms containing established plankton communities, creating ‘no leaf’, ‘ambient leaf’ and ‘heated leaf’ treatments during autumn 2012. We then monitored physical, chemical, and biological responses to treatments until the mesocosms froze six weeks later. Experimental soil warming altered the chemical composition of deciduous leaves, the physical and chemical environment of the aquatic ecosystems to which leaves were added, and the pelagic pond food webs as measured by community composition. Compared to leaves from ambient-temperature soils, leaves from warmed soils initially resulted in lower water column phosphorus and dissolved organic carbon, reducing bacterial densities. However, the diminished carbon and phosphorus resulting from soil warming also increased light availability that ultimately stimulated cladoceran zooplankton relative to ambient-temperature leaves. Our results suggest that changes in temperature can alter ecological subsidies in unanticipated ways, and suggest that accurately predicting the potential consequences of climate change will require conducting research across ecosystem boundaries.

Carbonyl anti-(α-Amino)allylation via Ruthenium Catalyzed Hydrogen Autotransfer: Use of an Acetylenic Pyrrole as an Allylmetal Pronucleophile

- Lewis bases, aldehydes, alkynes, allene, allylation, catalytic activity, chemical structure, diastereoselectivity, hydrogen, isomerization, isopropyl alcohol, ruthenium
- A single ruthenium complex catalyzes two discrete transformations resulting in the net conversion of an acetylenic pyrrole and alcohols to products of carbonyl anti-(α-amino)allylation. An initial catalytic process enables isomerization of an alkyne to a kinetically more reactive allene. A second catalytic process promotes alcohol-to-allene hydrogen transfer to form an aldehyde-allylruthenium pair that engages in regio- and diastereoselective carbonyl addition. A related reductive coupling of aldehydes mediated by 2-propanol also is described. The present catalytic processes represent rare examples of the use of alkynes as nucleophilic allylmetal precursors.

There have been several items of interests to anglers floating around halls of the legislature this past week. Most notably is the conversation around a public works “Jobs Creation” proposal. This is significant to Washington anglers because the House proposal authored by Representative Hans Dunshee, distributes over $43 million to Fish Hatchery and Fish Passage Way improvements and looks to improve marine access by investing in projects like $2 million for a new ramp at Point No Point.
The Dunshee proposal presents us with a tremendous opportunity to rehabilitate our fish hatcheries in a manner that is consistent with the science. With this revenue, we can make significant environmental improvements to to our hatcheries by improving water quality and runoff issues that will eventually lead to increased fish production through better survival rates. The Dunshee proposal identifies / funds numerous WDFW projects that touch virtually every community around the State.
$43 million is not chump change my friends. Not only would this create a large number of construction jobs for our State, the end product will exponentially drive millions more in revenue into the economy as a result of the additional opportunity for anglers to catch fish. After all, that is what it’s all about!!! Additional opportunity also translates into more fishing licenses sold, this benefits the Wildlife Account, which in turn takes pressure off the General Fund. It will also stimulate the economies of many rural communities in our state as anglers from Puget Sound flock to these areas to spend money on gas, lodging, food and restaurants.
All this seems so simple to me, but still many legislators just don’t understand that “Recreational Fishing Is Good For The Economy”. We need to continue to remind legislators of this fact. Recreational fishing is is a “Life Style”. We work so we can play. Fishing is where we spend our money. Just go to the boat show…. When you fork over $30k – $500k for a nice fishing boat, you are paying 8% or 9% just in sale tax. I am no economist, but those are serious dollars that go to support our schools, social services and other important programs. Fishing is a multi-billion dollar industry in our State. Think of what our fisheries would be like if everyone understood the economics of recreational fishing as well as Representative Dunshee!!!
Contact your legislators now and urge them to support the Dunshee “Job Package” as it relates to investing in our State’s fisheries!! Follow this link to find your legislators http://apps.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFinder/Default.aspx

Citigroup Inc. (“
Citigroup”) announced today that it has increased the maximum aggregate principal amount of specified series of notes (the “
Notes”) that it will accept (each, a “
Maximum Series Tender Cap”) pursuant to its previously announced cash tender offers (each, an “
Offer” and, collectively, the “
Offers”), as set forth in the table below.
These Offers are consistent with Citigroup's liability management strategy, and reflect its ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency of its funding and capital structure. In 2013, Citigroup redeemed approximately U.S. $12 billion of securities reducing its overall funding costs. Citigroup will continue to consider opportunities to redeem or repurchase securities, based on several factors, including without limitation, the economic value, potential impact on Citigroup's net interest margin and borrowing costs, the overall remaining tenor of Citigroup's debt portfolio, capital impact, as well as overall market conditions.
The previously announced Early Tender Date for the 4.750% Notes due 2015, 4.700% Notes due 2015 and 2.250% Notes due 2015 has been extended to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 16, 2014, which is the current Expiration Date for the Offers. Holders of these Notes that are validly tendered prior to such time pursuant to the Offers and accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the applicable Total Consideration, which is inclusive of the Early Tender Premium. The Early Tender Date for the remaining series of Notes (the "
Unextended Series") has now passed (such date being 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 2, 2013). Holders of Notes of the Unextended Series that were validly tendered prior to such time pursuant to the Offers and are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the applicable Total Consideration, which is inclusive of the Early Tender Premium. Holders of Notes of the Unextended Series that are validly tendered after such time pursuant to the Offers and accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the Tender Offer Consideration, which equals the Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium.
The Expiration Date for the Offers continues to be 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 16, 2014 (unless extended or earlier terminated). The Settlement Date is expected to occur promptly thereafter on June 19, 2014. Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Settlement Date, for such Notes.
