A large response was received from insurers in the following countries: UK, Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, Morocco, Mexico, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Taiwan and Australia. Significant outcomes • As expected, IFRS 17 compliance was identified as being primarily the responsibility of the Finance department although 47% of the responses suggested that it was a joint Finance, Actuarial, IT, Risk and Underwriting responsibility. • Compliance is managed centrally by almost 70% of the participants with only 28% having autonomy to implement their own local solutions. • 9% of respondents indicated that pure IFRS 17 compliance was their primary goal whilst 36% stated it was a catalyst for a broader Finance Transformation program. • 31% of the respondents reported that their IFRS 17 implementations were underway whereas 39% were still working on the detailed design. • Confidence in achieving IFRS 17 compliance within the current time scales is high with only 9% suggesting it would not be possible. • SAS was identified as the most popular technology for CSM calculation with 17% of the respondents having selected it. • The primary area of concern relates to data with 20% identifying data integration as of greatest concern.

    News update from Nepal, 1 July 2008 News Update from Nepal 1 July 2008 National Security Nepal is facing the condition of statelessness. On June 22, over 200 Armed Police Force (APF) of Banke revolted to protest against poor ration quality and senior official's ill- treatment. They also beat up APF battalion chief and other senior officers. On June 23, the rebelling armed forces reached an agreement with the government and formed a nine-member team to listen their grievances and corruption done by senior officials. A similar event that took place in Parvat district, however, went unnoticed. On June 20, civil servants urged the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) to take strong action against the Minister for Forest and Soil Conservation Matrika Yadav for locking up the Lo- cal Development Officer of Lalitpur, Dandu R. Ghimire, in a toilet for allegedly allowing illegal stone quarries at a community forest in Lalitpur. Frequent robberies in the highways and the rise of extortion, kidnapping and killing by non-state armed actors have weakened the sense of public security. The public life in Bir- gunj has been paralyzed due to the killing of one government official by the cadres of Ta- rai Mukti Tigers. Similarly, in a confrontation between the police and Akhil Tarai Mukti Morcha (ATMM) in Bara four cadres of the latter were killed. A cloth trader was killed in Birgunj while two persons were killed in Butwal. On June 21, Bardibas bazaar remained closed due to the bombing of the petroleum pomp by the cadres of Janatantrik Tarai Mukti Morcha (JTMM).

  • Alpiniste Denis Urubko Part À La Conquête Du K2 En Solo !
    Himalaya : l’alpiniste Denis Urubko part à la conquête du K2 en solo ! Inquiétude et consternation. L’alpiniste Denis Urubko, héros du sauvetage d’Elizabeth Revol, a quitté samedi le reste de l’expédition sans prévenir, pour une attaque imminente du sommet du K2 en solitaire. Source page facebook de l’expédition Polski-Himalaizm-Zimowy-2016-2020. Après de nombreuses dissensions au sein de l’expédition polonaise partie fin décembre dans l’Himalaya avec l’intention de réaliser la première hivernale du K2, sa pièce maîtresse, Denis Urubko, a fait faux bond à ses partenaires pour atteindre le sommet en solo. C’est par un message laconique que le chef de l’expédition, Krzysztof Wielicki, a informé de la situation : « Denis Urubko a quitté la base, sans en informer la direction de l’expédition, pour tenter d’atteindre le sommet du K2 avant la fin du mois de février. L’expédition se poursuit conformément au plan prévu prévoyant la préparation d’une attaque au début du mois de mars ». L’alpiniste a quitté le camp de base du K2 samedi, sans sa radio ni sans prévenir son équipe. Il aurait été frustré par des décisions et par le rythme du reste de l’expédition, selon certains de ses membres qui ont témoigné à l’Agence France-Presse. « Il essayait de persuader l’équipe d’attaquer le sommet en février », a affirmé un porteur à l’AFP (en anglais). « Je ne pensais pas qu’il ferait ça » Krzysztof Wielicki n’a pas caché pas sa déception : « Je connais Denis depuis de nombreuses années, nous sommes amis.

  • The First Winter Ascent of Nanga Parbat
    Pakistan Everest from Rongbuk Glacier, Tibet. Rob Fairley, 1987. (Watercolour. 36cm x 55cm. Private collection.) 21 SIMONE MORO The First Winter Ascent of Nanga Parbat The Diamir face of Nanga Parbat. Moro switched from the Messner route to the Kinshofer due to unusually risky conditions on his favoured line. (All photos courtesy of Simone Moro) t was a cold dream, one almost 30 years in the making, on an epic moun- Itain, the biggest in the world even if it isn’t the highest. In the course of those three decades I spent a whole year either under or on the slopes of Nanga Parbat before finally realising my ambition of climbing to the summit in winter, and with a unique group of people. To realise big dreams you have to accept long waits and numerous defeats; rework strategies, teams and tactics. In a nutshell, you have to be willing to be mentally very strong as well as physically. A winter expedition to an 8,000er is not the cold version of a spring or summer expedition. It’s another world, a way of doing alpinism that’s com- pletely different; one that has to be learned, understood and experienced. Cold is certainly one of the elements with which you have to cope, but there is also the constant wind, freezing and damn loud, a wind that can force 23 24 T HE A LPINE J OURN A L 2 0 1 6 T HE F IRS T W IN T ER A SCEN T O F N A N ga P A RB at 25 many technical details and protocols that must be respected when climb- ing an 8,000er in winter.

  • Nanga Parbat: First Winter Ascent Pakistan, Western Himalaya at 3.17 P.M
    AAC Publications Nanga Parbat: First Winter Ascent Pakistan, Western Himalaya At 3.17 p.m. on February 26, Simone Moro (Italy), Muhammad Ali Sadpara (Pakistan), and Alex Txikon (Spain) stepped onto the summit of Nanga Parbat (8,125m) to make the long-awaited first winter ascent. Before the 2015-’16 winter season, which in the Northern Hemisphere conventionally runs from December 21 to March 20, a total of 31 expeditions had attempted Nanga Parbat in winter. Six more teams arrived for this winter season, and two of these eventually combined forces to make the successful ascent. Although more of a reconnaissance than a serious attempt (Nanga Parbat had not been climbed at that time), the first foray onto the mountain in winter conditions occurred in 1950, when a three-man team of British mountaineers established a couple of camps on the Rakhiot Face in December. When he started to suffer frostbite in the toes, Robert Marsh descended, leaving his companions William Crace and John Thornley in a tent at about 5,500m. They were never seen again. The Poles, those doyens of Himalayan winter mountaineering, started the ball rolling again in the 1988-’89 season. This and most subsequent expeditions failed to get above 7,000m. The best effort until this year came in early February 1997, when a Polish team led by the father of high-altitude winter mountaineering, Andrzej Zawada, established four camps on the standard Kinshofer Route, from the highest of which two climbers made a push for the top. Zbigniew Trzmiel reached a point only 250m below the summit before turning around.
