Norwegian Airlines have been offering low cost transatlantic flights from Stewart Airport in Newburgh New York since the middle of June. Despite a few set backs the services are up and running to Dublin, Belfast, Shannon and Edinburgh using a mixture of brand new 737 Max and 737 – 800 aircraft. Over the past week the Deal Traveller has tried out both aircraft flying to Edinburgh on the Max and back from Dublin on the older 800 series.
Getting to and from Stewart:
Stewart is located about 60 miles north of Manhattan. Outside of driving there are three ways of getting to and from the airport. 1.) There is a bus service from Port Authority Bus Station which costs $20 each way 2.) Metro North Hudson line between Grand Central and Beacon and a taxi from there. 3.) Metro North Port Jervis Line between Hoboken and Salisbury Mills and a taxi.
The buses leave Manhattan well in advance of flight departures so I opted to take the train to Beacon for my outbound to Edinburgh. This cost $16.50 and took about an hour and forty minutes it was then a $30 taxi ride from Beacon to the airport. (The below number is the local cab firm in Beacon) The view along the Hudson is excellent when taking this route and arriving after the buses meant check in was clear once I got there.
When I arrived back the experience taking the bus was seamless. It left about 30 minutes after the flight landed and got to Manhattan in under 90 minutes. Having already cleared immigration in Dublin arrival was super smooth and probably as good a commute as you can have from any of the NYC area airports.
Stewart is a tiny airport with very little to do or look at. I would not recommend arriving with hours to spare. However on the brightside security moved very quickly and door to gate was probably 15/20 minutes. Pretty cool for an international flight. There is a small cafe and duty free shop but nothing else.
However on arrival this is excellent gate to sidewalk was literally 90 seconds a huge benefit.
My outbound flight to Edinburgh was on the brand new 737-Max. While it was cool to fly on an obviously brand new plane a 737 is still a 737 and there aren’t many differences to report. I chose to book seat 2F based off the original seat plan which was published when the flights went on sale. At that time there was not going to be a row 1 on the right hand side of the cabin. In the meantime they squeezed an extra row in and the lady in front of me looked very comfortable in 1F which had a lot of extra leg room. If row 1 is available it is worth paying th extra. There is no entertainment on board and all food and drinks cost extra.
On the return from Dublin they operated the older 737-800 aircraft as it doesn’t have the range it means they cannot fly with full capacity so I got myself a row of three at the back of the aircraft for the daytime flight the allowed me stretch out a bit and sleep for most of the daytime flight. The captain announced a couple of hours in that we had a very clear view of Greenland and it was great to see and take some photos of for the first time. Unfortunately the ground staff got a little exited about boarding and left everyone wait in the tunnel for over 20 minutes which was unnecessary and very Ryanair like.
Crossing the Atlantic has always been exciting for me. Going to the big airports, travelling on wide bodied planes are part of the experience. While the food, drinks and entertainment in economy on the larger airlines has generally gone downhill over the years, I still find it a bit of an adventure.
What Norwegian are offering kind of takes away from the romance of traveling. Sure this trip cost me under $200 in peak July for a round trip to Europe, absolutely unheard of even a year ago. But unless the savings are similar I don’t think I would use them on a regular basis.
The ability to buy one way tickets is a bonus and a seamless arrival process was great but all in all it was a little disappointing. Bring back the 747….

A new law recently passed in Minnesota allows undocumented immigrants residing in the state to receive free college tuition
The eligibility criteria for the program exclude students from households earning over $80,000 per year or those who have attended private schools. The initiative will be implemented starting the 2024-25 academic year and is applicable to colleges affiliated with the University of Minnesota or Minnesota State.
The introduction of this law aims to ensure equal access to educational opportunities for all individuals in Minnesota, regardless of their background or immigration status. Senator Omar Fateh, the Chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee, expressed the state’s commitment to expanding opportunities for all Minnesotans. He emphasized the importance of providing access to education for undocumented residents, highlighting that their immigration status should not hinder their ability to pursue higher education.
This legislation has sparked discussions and debates among various groups
Supporters argue that offering free college tuition to undocumented students promotes inclusivity and provides them with a chance to contribute more to society through education. They believe that investing in the education of undocumented immigrants can ultimately benefit the state as a whole. Critics, however, express concerns about the potential financial implications of this program and its impact on taxpayer dollars.
As Minnesota pioneers this initiative, it joins a small but growing number of states that have implemented similar policies to support undocumented students in their pursuit of higher education. The decision to extend free college tuition to illegal immigrants reflects the state’s commitment to fostering diversity, equality, and educational opportunities for all its residents.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) – President Bush gave an unflinching defense of his war strategy yesterday, refusing to set a timetable for U.S. troop withdrawals and asserting that once-shaky Iraqi troops are proving increasingly capable. Democrats dismissed his words as a stay-the-course speech with no real strategy for success.
Bush recalled that some Iraqi security forces once ran from battle, and he said their performance “is still uneven in some parts.” But he also said improvements have been made in training and Iraqi units are growing more independent and controlling more territory.
“This will take time and patience,” said Bush, who is under intense political pressure as U.S. military deaths in the war rise beyond 2,100 and his popularity sits at the lowest point of his presidency.
Bush’s speech at the U.S. Naval Academy, the first of at least three he’ll give between now and the Dec. 15 Iraqi elections, did not outline a new strategy for the nearly three-year-old war. Rather, it was intended as a comprehensive answer to mounting criticism and questions. Billed as a major address, it brought together in a single package the administration’s arguments for the war and assertions of progress on military, economic and political tracks.
The address was accompanied by the release of a White House document titled “Our National Strategy for Victory in Iraq” – a report that House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi dismissed as “35 pages of rhetoric on old sound bites.” Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass), called Bush’s speech “lipstick” on a failed Iraqi strategy. “If things on the ground in Iraq are as rosy as the picture the president painted today, then we should be able to begin to bring our troops home in 2006,” he said.
Bush spoke to a friendly audience of midshipmen. They welcomed the president by singing him the Navy fight song. At the end, they chanted in unison, “Fire it up! Fire it up!”
The president said the U.S. military’s role in Iraq will shift from providing security and fighting the enemy nationwide to more specialized operations targeted at the most dangerous terrorists. “We will increasingly move out of Iraqi cities, reduce the number of bases from which we operate and conduct fewer patrols and convoys,” the president said.
Still, Bush remained steadfastly opposed to imposing a deadline for leaving Iraq.
“Many advocating an artificial timetable for withdrawing our troops are sincere – but I believe they’re sincerely wrong,” Bush said. “Pulling our troops out before they’ve achieved their purpose is not a plan for victory.”
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada called on the president to release a strategy that has military, economic and political benchmarks that must be met. “Simply staying the course is no longer an option,” Reid said. “We must change the course.”
Bush was ready for that.
“If by `stay the course’ they mean we will not permit al-Qaida to turn Iraq into what Afghanistan was under the Taliban – a safe haven for terrorism and a launching pad for attacks on America – they’re right,” Bush said.
“If by `stay the course’ they mean that we’re not learning from our experiences or adjusting our tactics to meet the challenges on the ground, then they’re flat wrong.”
There are about 160,000 U.S. troops in Iraq. The Pentagon has not committed to any specific drawdown next year beyond the announced plan to pull back 28,000 troops who were added this fall for extra security during the election.

Tech giant Apple plans to slow hiring and spending in some units in 2023 to cope with a potential economic downturn, Bloomberg reported. Thus, fewer people will have a chance to get hired to work at the legendary corporation. In addition, current Apple employees are likely to face a pay cut.
The tech behemoth is always one step ahead of others. So, by slashing employment and expenditure growth, the company is preparing for a future economic slowdown. Every year, Apple allocates a certain amount of money to each major division for spending on research, development, resources, and hiring. Next year, a selected number of teams will get a lower-than-expected budget. Above all else, the company will not backfill the roles of retired employees.
Apple CEO Tim Cook believes the company should be particularly careful during periods of uncertainty. Still, changes will not affect all teams. He also mentions inflation, the negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic, and rising shipping costs as one of the main factors weighing on gross profit and operating expenses.

PizzaExpress gate-crashes ASK battle
THE financiers behind PizzaExpress today gate-crashed a cosy table for two occupied by rivals ASK Central and City Centre Restaurants.
TDR Capital said it may offer more than £169m for ASK, which has recommended a friendly offer of that amount from City Centre.
Having bought PizzaExpress for £278m last July, TDR said it was 'evaluating a possible offer' for ASK, which owns 171 mid-market outlets under the ASK, Zizzi and Jo Schmo facias.
The prospect of a battle sent ASK shares 6p higher to 186p. TDR said its putative offer would beat City Centre's 177p cash-and-shares bid.
ASK chief executive and major shareholder Adam Kaye said: 'Pizza Express is our archrival.' But an offer would be judged on its merits, he said, adding that ASK continued to recommend the City Centre offer.
ASK and City Centre, which owns the Garfunkel's and Frankie & Benny's chains, said they were in talks in November and cemented a deal last month. The first closing date is next week.
City Centre said today its offer was worth more than 177p because of the rise in its own share price.
TDR is fronted by former Deutsche Bank heavyweights Manjit Dale and Stephen Robertson. They bought Pizza Express in conjunction with Nando's chicken chain, which is not involved in this move.

The Lancet reports that the development of cardiovascular diseases on the background of stress may be associated with changes in the brain. Stress causes increased activity of subcortical brain structures – the amygdala, and this leads to increased release of platelets in the blood and the development of inflammation in the vessel walls.
The relationship between the risk of heart disease and prolonged stress has long been known, but to understand its cause have not yet succeeded. Previously identified increased activity of the amygdala in people with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, high anxiety.
The study lasted 4 years, it was attended by 293 patient. As a method of diagnosis, the researchers used a combined scanning, PET/CT, they were also conducting monitoring activity of the bone marrow, spleen and condition of the arteries.
In the result, it was revealed that patients with increased activity of the amygdala have a higher risk of heart attack and stroke, and they have a high risk for early development of cardiovascular problems. Scientists also confirmed that the high activity of the amygdala correlated with an increased number of platelets in the blood in humans – earlier in animal studies have already provided data on the emissions of platelets and the development of inflammation in the blood vessels during chronic stress. Also confirmed the increase in the concentration in the organism on the background stress C‑reactive protein, which under conditions of prolonged psychological stress has reached the same level as in inflammation.
Thus, overwork and bad emotions have a more tangible negative impact on our health than previously thought.
Scientists believe that the results of this work can help more effectively treat diseases of the heart and blood vessels, induced by stress. Currently the most effective method of combating heart attack and stroke is prevention, in particular – maintain a calm emotional state.
Cardiologists recommend in any stressful situation to take drugs that help to reduce nervous tension. Most often, this is prescribed Glycine – the amino acid that is a natural body substance and has no contraindications and side effects.

21 December will mark Panic Thursday the day when consumers traditionally abandon online purchases in favour of bricks and mortar shops, in a bid to finish buying presents before Christmas Day.
In the final run up to Christmas, footfall on the high street is expected to peak on ‘super Saturday? the last Saturday before Christmas Day which this year falls on 23 December. On that day, UK high street footfall is expected to reach up to 63 per cent on the daily average.

Data from retail sector analysts ShopperTrak also predicted average high street footfall figures for other popular shopping days this coming Christmas period.
Due to Sunday trading, high street footfall is likely to be lower on Christmas Eve than on Super Saturday this year. The data predicts that on Christmas Eve, in-store footfall will be up 35 per cent against the daily average.
Commenting on the statistics, ShopperTrak director for the UK and MEA region, Steve Richardson, said: Panic Thursday marks the start of the steady build-up of in-store footfall as we head towards the big day, with shopper traffic on Frenzied Friday? (December 22) up 37 per cent on the daily average and Super Saturday (December 23) up 63 per cent on the daily average.

with fears that online orders will not reach consumers before Christmas Day, shoppers will step out from behind their screens and take to the high street to finish off their festive gift buying in physical stores.
Taking place on 21 December, the high street will see a 60 per cent increase in footfall on Panic Thursday, as shoppers swarm in to stores.
interestingly, the day of this online to off-line shift has changed, moving from Panic Tuesday last year to Thursday this year, as consumers have become more confident about retailers? ability to fulfil online deliveries and click-and-collect orders.
indeed, some retailers are offering to fulfil click-and-collect deliveries in time for Christmas Day for orders placed as late as 9pm on 23 December.

Never-before-seen photograph of Wills and Kate shows their excitement at engagement
With wide smiles, they can barely conceal the excitement of their newly-announced engagement.
In this never-before-seen photograph, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge appear close and relaxed – thrilled by thoughts of their impending big day.
The photograph, taken by Mario Testino, graces the July cover of Vanity Fair.
Relaxed and looking forward to their big day, the Mario Testino portrait of Prince William and Kate Middleton, as she was then
It includes further portraits by Testino, such as the iconic picture of Princess Diana in 1997.
The Peruvian photographer took William and Kate’s engagement pictures at St James’ Palace last November.
Though William, Prince Harry and the Prince of Wales have all turned to Testino for pictures to commemorate milestones, the celebrated fashion photographer had never before captured Miss Middleton.
But speaking the Mail On Sunday's Katie Nicholl for the accompany interview in U.S. Vogue, he said he already felt ‘very confident’ she would be an ‘easy sitter’ because of her natural grace.
And last week, speaking at a gala in his honour in New York, the 56-year-old said he understood why he was chosen to take the photographs.
Testino, a close friend of Diana’s, said: ‘I guess it was a way for them to keep William’s mother in the whole process of it.’
Despite the pressure of the shoot, Testino said the Duchess ‘looked fabulous’ and that the couple exuded ‘sheer happiness’.
He added: ‘They are a young couple in love.’
Portraits: Mario Testino (left) took Prince William and the then Kate Milddleton's official engagement picture (right) in 2010
The edition will lift the lid on the couple’s house-hunting and who does the chores around their Anglesey home.
It describes the pair’s giggles as they watched their nuptials back on television, and recounts the moment Michael Middleton realised the relationship was serious – when Prince William arrived at his Berkshire home by helicopter.
It also recalls the rather surprising requests the pair had for their honeymoon suite – including Philadelphia cream cheese and Brussel sprouts.
The July issue of Vanity Fair will be on news-stands on June 3, ahead of the newly-weds’ trip to Canada and California in July.

So So awesome! Congrats! side note…I love Dave Navarro. lol
I like his work. Ends up, i was working in the same (large) room with him for~ 3 hours yesterday and did not realize who he was until after I had left.
Risk, having his roots in graffiti, has adopted the rustolium spray can as a sort of logo/ handle. It can be found in many of his pieces in various degrees of bold or subtle including some really big cans.
I think that’s awesome! I’ve been a huge fan from music to tattoos. Lol.
Wonderful news! Good for you!

By Gabriel Olawale
Irked by the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nation’s health system, the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, has called for immediate implementation of the annual 15 percent budget allocation to the health sector agreed in 2001 by African heads of state in Abuja.
President of the NMA, Professor Innocent Ujah who made the call during NMA Physician’s Week in Lagos, regretted that 18 years after the Abuja Declaration, the Nigerian government has failed to implement the agreement despite huge challenges in the health sector.
Ujah who also noted that the current pandemic calls to question, the historic pledge the Nigeria government made with other African governments said the pandemic has exposed the acute shortages of critical and lifesaving equipment such as ventilators and intensive care beds in Nigerian hospitals.
“Precisely on the 27th of April 2001, African governments made a historic pledge in Abuja, Nigeria to allocate at least 15 percent of their annual budgets to the health sector. As COVID-19 spreads and wreaks havoc across the world, the question must be asked: what has become of this vow of allocation 15 percent national budget to health?
“At the heart of the fragile health systems is the perennial failure of governments at all levels to prioritize health and allocate adequate resources to it. Nigeria’s allocation to health in 2020 was a mere 4.16 percent of the budget and it is unpredictable how much of the fund would be released of the care of the people of Nigeria.
Ujah further called on the government to adequately invest in healthcare system, adding that, the scary statistics of health indicators in the country has been further worsened by COVID-1 and unacceptable to the Nigerian Doctors.
“We hereby call for more strategic, focused planning and actions as no meaningful development can take place in a society where disease and deaths are ravaging the potential leaders and hopes of our tomorrow.
“For Nigeria to achieve this objective of improved health care, it will involve health strengthening using six core components of service delivery, health workforce, and health information systems, improving access to essential medicines, paying more attention to healthcare financing and ensuring good governance in leadership at all level”
He further called on the Federal government to review upward the current abysmally poor hazard allowance paid to doctors and other frontline health workers in public service.
Corroborating his views, the First Lady of Lagos State, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, who was the Special Guest of Honour at the event, admonished states across the federation to build its health emergency system in a way that it will be able to tackle any form of disease outbreak, “as a state we should not wait for another pandemic outbreak before we build our health system.
“Every state needs to have paramedic that is trained on regular basis so that at every outbreak they will be prepared. Nigerians also need to be vigilant, people think COVID-19 is over, that is our prayer but we should not relent, we need to continue to educate, create awareness and not relent.”
Speaking, the State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi said that post-COVID-19; government at all levels must build quality health systems that people and communities’ trust.
“Strengthen basic public health capacity, protect other essential services alongside the pandemic response, and address health workforce shortages as well as skills mix. We also need to sustain public financing and harmonize health investments.”
The Medical Director, Krown Hospital, Dr. Olukayode Akinlade advocated the creation of health Banks with 2 percent interest rate. “25 years ago, India established something that looks like health bank with 2 percent interest rate. A lot of doctors in Diaspora from India took advantage of it to come together and established high rise hospital with state of the art equipment.
“Ebola came five years ago, thank God Lagos did very well then, but now that Lagos becomes epicenter of COVID -19, it’s what Lagos State gain then that is helping them now. Can we say the same of other states of the country? The answer is no.
“It is projected that in the next 10 years, Europe will need 250,000 health workers and where do you think they will get it from? The majority will be from Nigeria, how then do will prevent our own from travelling abroad?”

Egypt’s Opposition Calls Massive Demonstrations
After a controversial decree made by the Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi, liberal party’s and the rest of the opposition groups made a calling today to massively protest in Tahrir square.
The more popular groups, who are being led by the leftist nationalist Hamdeen Sabahi, former presidential candidate in the elections of June, also joined the demonstrations. Despite the protests, a spokesmen of the Egyptian presidency, Yasser Ali confirmed that “there won’t be any modifications” of the constitutional act that protects the decisions of the leader before justice.
This decree has caused a wave of protests in Egypt, in which there’s already one dead and over 440 people wounded, according to the data of the Egyptian Ministry of Health. To calm the demonstrators, Morsi met with the chief of the Superior Council of Justice, Mohammed Metuali, along with six more judges, who assured that their objective was to lead a transition to promote the country into a stage of constitutional and legislative stability as soon as possible.

Zucchini or Ligurian courgette (Cucurbita pepo L.) is a species of the Cucurbitaceae family whose fruits are used immature.
It is an annual plant with a flexible creeping or climbing herbaceous stem. It was imported into Europe around 1500 after the discovery of America.
Zucchini have a very low caloric value and are made up of 95% water. They contain many vitamins A and C and carotenoids, which bring a consistent anti-tumor action. They are recognized as very useful for asthenia, urinary inflammation, kidney failure, dyspepsias, enteritis, dysentery, constipation, heart disease and diabetes. In addition to all that already listed, since ancient times they were used to promote sleep, relax the mind, and it was particularly suitable for those who felt exhausted.

Continuing my Blue Monday post this week, I also picked up this brilliant juicer set-thing. Part of their SODA series, I was first stuck by the clean and ultra modern white/translucent orange combo. (next to blue, orange is my next color downfall) Anyways- I’m also a sucker for packaging, and the way this kit is put together in this nifty white box was just irresistable. The kit contains two sizes of bottles with caps (for longer storage) and two removable spouts, plus a juicer/funnel adapter and all for $9.99- I suppose you could also use it for other liquids.. would even look great as a container for dishsoap!

text: Orienting responses to audiovisual events have shorter reaction times and better accuracy and precision when images and sounds in the environment are aligned in space and time. How the brain constructs an integrated audiovisual percept is a computational puzzle because the auditory and visual senses are represented in different reference frames: the retina encodes visual locations with respect to the eyes; whereas the sound localisation cues are referenced to the head. In the well-known ventriloquist effect, the auditory spatial percept of the ventriloquist's voice is attracted toward the synchronous visual image of the dummy, but does this visual bias on sound localisation operate in a common reference frame by correctly taking into account eye and head position? Here we studied this question by independently varying initial eye and head orientations, and the amount of audiovisual spatial mismatch. Human subjects pointed head and/or gaze to auditory targets in elevation, and were instructed to ignore co-occurring visual distracters. Results demonstrate that different initial head and eye orientations are accurately and appropriately incorporated into an audiovisual response. Effectively, sounds and images are perceptually fused according to their physical locations in space independent of an observer's point of view. Implications for neurophysiological findings and modelling efforts that aim to reconcile sensory and motor signals for goal-directed behaviour are discussed.

Global sampling of the ocean below 2000 m is limited to a number of repeat oceanographic transects, many occupied only in the last few decades (Figure 3.3b), and several time-series stations, some of which extend over decades. This sparse sampling in space and time makes assessment of global deep ocean heat content variability less certain than that for the upper ocean (Ponte, 2012), especially at middepths, where vertical gradients are still sufficiently large for transient variations (ocean eddies, internal waves, and internal tides) to alias estimates made from sparse data sets. However, the deep North Atlantic Ocean is better sampled than the rest of the globe, making estimates of full-depth deep ocean heat content changes there feasible north of 20ºN since the mid-1950s (Mauritzen et al., 2012).
Based on the limited information available, it is likely that the global ocean did not show a significant temperature trend between 2000 and 3000 m depth from about 1992–2005 (Figures 3.2b and 3.3a; Kouketsu et al., 2011). At these depths it has been around a millennium on average since waters in the Indian and Pacific Oceans were last exposed to air–sea interaction (Gebbie and Huybers, 2012).
Warming from 1992 to 2005 is likely greater than zero from 3000 m to the ocean floor (Figures 3.2b and 3.3a; Kouketsu et al., 2011), especially in recently formed Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW). South of the Sub-Antarctic Front (Figure 3.3b), much of the water column warmed between 1992 and 2005 (Purkey and Johnson, 2010). Globally, deep warming rates are highest near 4500 m (Figure 3.3a), usually near the sea floor where the AABW influence is strongest, and attenuate towards the north (Figure 3.3b), where the AABW influence weakens. Global scale abyssal warming on relatively short multi-decadal time scales is possible because of communication of signals by planetary waves originating within the Southern Ocean, reaching even such remote regions as the North Pacific (Kawano et al., 2010; Masuda et al., 2010). This AABW warming may partly reflect a recovery from cool conditions induced by the 1970s Weddell Sea Polynya (Robertson et al., 2002), but further north, in the Vema Channel of the South Atlantic, observations since 1970 suggest strong bottom water warming did not commence there until about 1991 (Zenk and Morozov, 2007).

With our rubber stoppers for lab glassware you can be sure of the experimental integrity as they provide a tight fit thus avoiding any leakage, spills or evaporation of liquid chemicals and reagents.
These stoppers are generally used in medical laboratories and testing facilities to seal bottles, test tubes, and other lab flasks and containers. Their tapered shape allows for neck openings varying in sizes, though there are rubber corks with a wide, rounded top. Theoretically, the cross section of the middle of the stopper and the opening should match.
For their manufacturing usually natural rubber is used since this material is durable, flexible and water-resistant. Those made of neoprene are used when additional resistance against some reagents and solvents is needed. Rubber stoppers remain resilient even after multiple autoclaving.
We offer a wide array of rubber stoppers that come in different sizes to fit any lab container and ensure sealing integrity. In this category you will find stoppers in three types: solid, one-hole, and two-hole for glass tubing to be inserted into the flask through the stopper.

The Conservative Portfolio is appropriate for an investor with a low risk tolerance or a need to make withdrawals over the next 1 to 3 years. Conservative investors are willing to accept lower returns in exchange for lower account drawdowns in periods of market volatility.
To be compatible with most retirement plans, this Portfolio does not include our Maximum Yield Strategy and leveraged Universal Investment Strategy. If you are using a more flexible account you can choose from our unconstrained portfolios in the Portfolio Library.
We also offer a version for 401k plans which do not allow individual stocks. See details here.
'Total return, when measuring performance, is the actual rate of return of an investment or a pool of investments over a given evaluation period. Total return includes interest, capital gains, dividends and distributions realized over a given period of time. Total return accounts for two categories of return: income including interest paid by fixed-income investments, distributions or dividends and capital appreciation, representing the change in the market price of an asset.'Which means for our asset as example:
'Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is a business and investing specific term for the geometric progression ratio that provides a constant rate of return over the time period. CAGR is not an accounting term, but it is often used to describe some element of the business, for example revenue, units delivered, registered users, etc. CAGR dampens the effect of volatility of periodic returns that can render arithmetic means irrelevant. It is particularly useful to compare growth rates from various data sets of common domain such as revenue growth of companies in the same industry.'Using this definition on our asset we see for example:
'Volatility is a rate at which the price of a security increases or decreases for a given set of returns. Volatility is measured by calculating the standard deviation of the annualized returns over a given period of time. It shows the range to which the price of a security may increase or decrease. Volatility measures the risk of a security. It is used in option pricing formula to gauge the fluctuations in the returns of the underlying assets. Volatility indicates the pricing behavior of the security and helps estimate the fluctuations that may happen in a short period of time.'Using this definition on our asset we see for example:
'Downside risk is the financial risk associated with losses. That is, it is the risk of the actual return being below the expected return, or the uncertainty about the magnitude of that difference. Risk measures typically quantify the downside risk, whereas the standard deviation (an example of a deviation risk measure) measures both the upside and downside risk. Specifically, downside risk in our definition is the semi-deviation, that is the standard deviation of all negative returns.'Using this definition on our asset we see for example:
'The Sharpe ratio (also known as the Sharpe index, the Sharpe measure, and the reward-to-variability ratio) is a way to examine the performance of an investment by adjusting for its risk. The ratio measures the excess return (or risk premium) per unit of deviation in an investment asset or a trading strategy, typically referred to as risk, named after William F. Sharpe.'Using this definition on our asset we see for example:
'The Sortino ratio improves upon the Sharpe ratio by isolating downside volatility from total volatility by dividing excess return by the downside deviation. The Sortino ratio is a variation of the Sharpe ratio that differentiates harmful volatility from total overall volatility by using the asset's standard deviation of negative asset returns, called downside deviation. The Sortino ratio takes the asset's return and subtracts the risk-free rate, and then divides that amount by the asset's downside deviation. The ratio was named after Frank A. Sortino.'Which means for our asset as example:
'Ulcer Index is a method for measuring investment risk that addresses the real concerns of investors, unlike the widely used standard deviation of return. UI is a measure of the depth and duration of drawdowns in prices from earlier highs. Using Ulcer Index instead of standard deviation can lead to very different conclusions about investment risk and risk-adjusted return, especially when evaluating strategies that seek to avoid major declines in portfolio value (market timing, dynamic asset allocation, hedge funds, etc.). The Ulcer Index was originally developed in 1987. Since then, it has been widely recognized and adopted by the investment community. According to Nelson Freeburg, editor of Formula Research, Ulcer Index is “perhaps the most fully realized statistical portrait of risk there is.'Using this definition on our asset we see for example:
'A maximum drawdown is the maximum loss from a peak to a trough of a portfolio, before a new peak is attained. Maximum Drawdown is an indicator of downside risk over a specified time period. It can be used both as a stand-alone measure or as an input into other metrics such as 'Return over Maximum Drawdown' and the Calmar Ratio. Maximum Drawdown is expressed in percentage terms.'Applying this definition to our asset in some examples:
'The Maximum Drawdown Duration is an extension of the Maximum Drawdown. However, this metric does not explain the drawdown in dollars or percentages, rather in days, weeks, or months. It is the length of time the account was in the Max Drawdown. A Max Drawdown measures a retrenchment from when an equity curve reaches a new high. It’s the maximum an account lost during that retrenchment. This method is applied because a valley can’t be measured until a new high occurs. Once the new high is reached, the percentage change from the old high to the bottom of the largest trough is recorded.'Which means for our asset as example:
'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Avg Drawdown Duration is the average amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs), or in other terms the average of time under water of all drawdowns. So in contrast to the Maximum duration it does not measure only one drawdown event but calculates the average of all.'Which means for our asset as example:

National League Game Summary - Milwaukee at Cincinnati
(Sunday, April 3rd)
Final Score: Cincinnati 12, Milwaukee 3
Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Ryan Hanigan tied a career-high with four
hits, including a pair of homers and four runs batted in, as the Cincinnati
Reds routed the Milwaukee Brewers, 12-3, to complete the three-game sweep at
Great American Ball Park.
Hanigan hit a three-run and a solo homer, while Brandon Phillips added three
hits, including a three-run shot for Cincinnati, which resumes its season-
opening six-game homestand on Tuesday against Houston.
Jonny Gomes chipped in with a 2-for-4 effort at the plate, including a solo
homer in the win. The Reds started the season 3-0 for the first time since
"When we're swinging the bats like we swung them today it's a beautiful
thing," Phillips said. "We're very entertaining."
Bronson Arroyo (1-0) went seven strong innings, yielding three runs on six
hits with five strikeouts. He also went 1-for-2 with a double. The 34-year-old
right-hander went 17-10 with a 3.88 earned run average in 33 starts over 215
2/3 innings last season.
Rickie Weeks had a solo homer and RBI double, while Ryan Braun also went yard

series on Monday.
Randy Wolf (0-1) was touched for six runs on 10 hits and two walks in four
innings of work. He finished with five strikeouts. The lefty posted a 13-12
record to go with a 4.17 ERA in 34 starts in 2010.
Weeks opened the game with solo homer to left, the second time in the series
he accomplished the feat. He also hit a leadoff shot on Thursday.
However, Gomes' one-out blast to left-center in the second tied things. Then
later in the inning, with runners on first and second and still only one out,
Paul Janish slapped a run-scoring single to right. Phillips struck out
swinging with the bases loaded to end the inning.
Milwaukee pulled even at 2-2 on Weeks' RBI double in the third, but the Reds
responded with a four-sport in the fourth.
With runners on second and third, and two down, Drew Stubbs' infield single
plated one and Phillips followed with a towering three-run homer to left for a
Hanigan launched a slider into the left-field seats in the fifth, but Braun
hammered a solo shot to left-center in the sixth.
Scott Rolen's sacrifice fly and a three-run blast by Hanigan put the Reds up
by a comfortable 11-3 margin in the sixth. Miguel Cairo added a pinch-hit,
run-scoring single in the seventh.
Logan Ondrusek threw a scoreless eighth inning and Aroldis Chapman came in and
worked a perfect ninth to end the game.
"When [the Reds] are locked in for three games, you can get beat," Brewers
manager Ron Reonicke said. "If we aren't on top of our game against a club
like this, then they're going to beat us."
The Reds were 11-3 against the Brewers last season, going 7-1 against them in
Cincinnati...Arroyo improved to 10-7 in 22 career appearances against
Milwaukee...Despite taking the loss, Wolf is still a respectable 10-4 in 21
games versus Cincinnati.

Villa dos Pescatores is a fisherman’s village on the bay, just north of Maputo. In the old LM days I watched craftsmen build boats from raw timber here, in the bush, with nothing but basic hand tools. Things have changed, but not much. Follow the Costa do Sol to get here.
Great North Road. The En1 is the main road that runs all the way north. Every few km there’s a town or a village where traders try to make a living by selling all sorts of things – a lot of it locally grown or -made - to passing traffic.
Zeka Saia makes and sells his concrete sculptures in Manhica along the main road. Little Adriano thinks his dad is cool. I thought so too.
Not cool, and certainly not Green. Charcoal sold by the roadside and carted into the city by the truckloads - product of the notorious slash-and-burn practice that leaves natural habitat denuded and unbalanced.
THIS is Green! Brickmaking kilns; right next to where the clay is dug by hand, the wood for firing it grows, and the customers drive by. No electricity, no machines, no nothing. Just plain old effort and enterprise.
Mozambique’s famous cashew nuts sold by the roadside - in plastico these days.
Bilene, on one of the many coastal lakes near Macia. It’s another place I remember from my youth, but then it was called Sao Martino and the road there wasn’t tarred.
Bagdad Café? Yep, that’s it in the background.
Here’s a tip: Avoid travelling in rural areas in the late afternoon. That’s when the homu herds are driven home for the night - invariably along the road.
The Madonse river crossing on the road to my camp. At the peak of the recent floods (caused by cyclone Dando) the water level was above where my wheels are parked on the high bank – 6m deep!
Even elephant got stuck when things got wet. One of these tracks on the bank of the Madonse is more than a metre deep. (No; Franqui – all dressed up in the background - is not a waiter or the drummer in a jazz band; he’s a scout. I picked him up at church in Massingir.)
