The disease has led to disruptions to transportation, including buses, subways, trains and airplanes, and the imposition of quarantines around the world. The Commission has heard from industry representatives that COVID-19 may present challenges for boards of directors of registered management investment companies and business development companies (“BDCs”) to travel in order to meet the in-person voting requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act” or “the Act”) and rules thereunder. In addition, we recognize that registered management investment companies and unit investment trusts (together, “registered funds”) may face challenges if, as a result of COVID-19, personnel of registered fund managers or other third-party service providers that are necessary to prepare these reports become unavailable, or only available on a limited basis, in: (i) preparing or transmitting annual and semi-annual shareholder reports; and/or (ii) timely filing Forms N-CEN and N-PORT. We also understand that due to recent market movements certain registered closed-end funds (“closed-end funds”) and BDCs may seek to call or redeem securities and may face challenges in providing the advance notice required under Rule 23c-2. Finally, we appreciate that there may be difficulties in the timely delivery of registered fund prospectuses.

    The Impact of Fair Trade Coffee on Economic Efficiency and the Distribution of Income

    The Impact of Fair Trade Coffee on Economic Efficiency and the Distribution of Income Gareth P. Green Matthew J. Warning Dept. of Economics Dept. of Economics Seattle University University of Puget Sound Introduction Fair Trade Certified™ coffee is receiving increasing attention both by the public and by academic researchers. Fair Trade1 emerged as a response to the adverse conditions faced by small-scale coffee producers in developing countries. Individual small-scale producers have no direct access to international markets and must sell their coffee to local intermediaries. These intermediaries are widely perceived to have monopsonistic2 power in the coffee market at the level of rural communities. The weak bargaining power of producers results in the producers receiving prices below market value, an amount which is ultimately as little as two to four percent of the final retail price of coffee (Transfair, 2007). In addition to these difficult local conditions, coffee producers must also contend with the vicissitudes of the highly volatile global coffee market as illustrated in Figure 1. Coffee prices respond to many variables including weather conditions (particularly frosts in Brazil), pest infestations and the actions of traders and speculators in global coffee commodity exchange. This price instability results in dramatic income fluctuations for 1In this paper we follow the convention of the academic literature, capitalizing Fair Trade when used in reference to coffee certified under the Fairtrade Labeling Organizations International system, and using lower case when discussing more general issues of fairness in the international trading system. 2 Monopsony is analogous to monopoly but concerns the buyer’s side of the market.

He worked hard, worked fast, and was headed for the top. At least, that was his plan. Joe was an ambitious young man, aiming for the stars. 4 Still, sometimes it felt as if the harder and faster he worked, the further away his goals appeared. For such a 6 dedicated go-getter, it seemed like he was doing a lot of going but not a lot of getting. 8 Work being as busy as it was, though, Joe didn’t have 9 much time to think about that. Especially on a day like today—a Friday, with only a week left in the quarter and a critical deadline to meet. A deadline he couldn’t afford not to meet. Today, in the waning hours of the afternoon, Joe decided it was time to call in a favor, so he placed a phone call— but the conversation wasn’t going well. “Carl, tell me you’re not telling me this . .” Joe took a breath to keep the desperation out of his voice. “Neil Hansen?!

    Cluster Analysis for Gene Expression Data: a Survey

    Cluster Analysis for Gene Expression Data: A Survey Daxin Jiang Chun Tang Aidong Zhang Department of Computer Science and Engineering State University of New York at Buffalo Email: djiang3, chuntang, azhang @cse.buffalo.edu Abstract DNA microarray technology has now made it possible to simultaneously monitor the expres- sion levels of thousands of genes during important biological processes and across collections of related samples. Elucidating the patterns hidden in gene expression data offers a tremen- dous opportunity for an enhanced understanding of functional genomics. However, the large number of genes and the complexity of biological networks greatly increase the challenges of comprehending and interpreting the resulting mass of data, which often consists of millions of measurements. A first step toward addressing this challenge is the use of clustering techniques, which is essential in the data mining process to reveal natural structures and identify interesting patterns in the underlying data. Cluster analysis seeks to partition a given data set into groups based on specified features so that the data points within a group are more similar to each other than the points in different groups. A very rich literature on cluster analysis has developed over the past three decades. Many conventional clustering algorithms have been adapted or directly applied to gene expres- sion data, and also new algorithms have recently been proposed specifically aiming at gene ex- pression data. These clustering algorithms have been proven useful for identifying biologically relevant groups of genes and samples. In this paper, we first briefly introduce the concepts of microarray technology and discuss the basic elements of clustering on gene expression data.

  • Unfree Labor, Capitalism and Contemporary Forms of Slavery

    Unfree Labor, Capitalism and Contemporary Forms of Slavery

    Unfree Labor, Capitalism and Contemporary Forms of Slavery Siobhán McGrath Graduate Faculty of Political and Social Science, New School University Economic Development & Global Governance and Independent Study: William Milberg Spring 2005 1. Introduction It is widely accepted that capitalism is characterized by “free” wage labor. But what is “free wage labor”? According to Marx a “free” laborer is “free in the double sense, that as a free man he can dispose of his labour power as his own commodity, and that on the other hand he has no other commodity for sale” – thus obliging the laborer to sell this labor power to an employer, who possesses the means of production. Yet, instances of “unfree labor” – where the worker cannot even “dispose of his labor power as his own commodity1” – abound under capitalism. The question posed by this paper is why. What factors can account for the existence of unfree labor? What role does it play in an economy? Why does it exist in certain forms? In terms of the broadest answers to the question of why unfree labor exists under capitalism, there appear to be various potential hypotheses. ¾ Unfree labor may be theorized as a “pre-capitalist” form of labor that has lingered on, a “vestige” of a formerly dominant mode of production. Similarly, it may be viewed as a “non-capitalist” form of labor that can come into existence under capitalism, but can never become the central form of labor. ¾ An alternate explanation of the relationship between unfree labor and capitalism is that it is part of a process of primary accumulation.

    Adoption Tax Benefits: an Overview

    Adoption Tax Benefits: An Overview Updated May 18, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44745 SUMMARY R44745 Adoption Tax Benefits: An Overview May 18, 2020 The federal government supports adoption in two primary ways: federal grants to state governments and tax benefits for individual taxpayers that help offset the costs of adopting a Margot L. Crandall-Hollick child. This report focuses on federal adoption tax benefits, which consist of an adoption tax credit Acting Section Research and an income tax exclusion for employer-provided adoption assistance. Manager The adoption tax credit helps qualifying taxpayers offset some of the costs of adopting a child. Although the credit may be claimed for nearly all types of adoptions (excluding the adoption of a spouse’s child), there are some special rules related to claiming the credit for international adoptions and for adoptions of children with special needs (generally children whom the state child welfare agency considers difficult to place for adoption). In 2020, taxpayers may be able to receive an adoption credit of up to $14,300 (this amount is annually adjusted for inflation). The credit is reduced for taxpayers with income over $214,520 and is phased out completely for taxpayers with more than $254,520 in income (these amounts are subject to annual inflation adjustment). The adoption credit is not refundable. However, the credit may be carried forward and claimed on future tax returns for up to five years after initially claimed. In addition, taxpayers whose employers offer qualifying adoption assistance programs as a fringe benefit may not have to pay income taxes on some or all of the value of this benefit.
