Box 2600, V22 Valley Forge, PA 19482 Via Electronic Submission [email protected], File Number 4.606 July 2, 2013 Re: File Number 4-606, Duties ofBrokers, Dealers, and Investment Advisers To: Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, DC I am the founder (in 1974) of The Vanguard Group oflnvestment Companies (all of which are open-end funds registered under the Investment Company Act of I 940), serving as chief executive from 1974 to 1996; the creator of the first index mutual fund in 1975; the President (since 1999) of Vanguard's Bogle Financial Markets Research Center; and author often books focused largely on the mutual fund industry. I am writing on my personal behalf in support of establishing a uniform standard of fiduciary duty for brokers, dealers, and investment advisers, including advisers to mutual funds. My views do not necessarily reflect the views of Vanguard's present management. I am well aware that SEC Release No. 34-69013 is focused on investment advisers "providing personalized investment advice about securities." But as paragraph I.4. of the staffs discussion notes, in paragraph two, "all investment advisers are fiduciaries to their clients." The amounts of assets advised for clients (shareholders) ofmutual funds are nearly ten times the assets advised ($12 trillion vs. $1.5 trillion) by firms providing personalized investment advice. To focus on the latter group to the exclusion of the much larger former group would leave a yawning gap in SEC regulation that would ill-serve fund investors.

  • Virgil, Aeneid 11 (Pallas & Camilla) 1–224, 498–521, 532–96, 648–89, 725–835 G
    Virgil, Aeneid 11 (Pallas & Camilla) 1–224, 498–521, 532–96, 648–89, 725–835 G Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and commentary ILDENHARD INGO GILDENHARD AND JOHN HENDERSON A dead boy (Pallas) and the death of a girl (Camilla) loom over the opening and the closing part of the eleventh book of the Aeneid. Following the savage slaughter in Aeneid 10, the AND book opens in a mournful mood as the warring parti es revisit yesterday’s killing fi elds to att end to their dead. One casualty in parti cular commands att enti on: Aeneas’ protégé H Pallas, killed and despoiled by Turnus in the previous book. His death plunges his father ENDERSON Evander and his surrogate father Aeneas into heart-rending despair – and helps set up the foundati onal act of sacrifi cial brutality that caps the poem, when Aeneas seeks to avenge Pallas by slaying Turnus in wrathful fury. Turnus’ departure from the living is prefi gured by that of his ally Camilla, a maiden schooled in the marti al arts, who sets the mold for warrior princesses such as Xena and Wonder Woman. In the fi nal third of Aeneid 11, she wreaks havoc not just on the batt lefi eld but on gender stereotypes and the conventi ons of the epic genre, before she too succumbs to a premature death. In the porti ons of the book selected for discussion here, Virgil off ers some of his most emoti ve (and disturbing) meditati ons on the tragic nature of human existence – but also knows how to lighten the mood with a bit of drag.

  • BASE SIZES December 2019
    ® BASE SIZES December 2019 BASE SIZES IN MATCHED PLAY GAMES In Warhammer Age of Sigmar, most distances are measured from one model’s base to another model’s base. In the vast majority of games, the actual size of the base is not terribly important, and you can use bases of whatever size or shape you prefer. The only possible exception to this is matched play games. This is because matched play games are intended to be evenly balanced contests, and in these circumstances having the same model on a different sized base can become an issue. To address this, on the following pages you will find a set of suggested matched play base sizes for all of the models in the Warhammer Age of Sigmar range. Don’t worry – you don’t have to rebase your model if it is not on the suggested base unless you want to (that’s why these are suggested base sizes rather than mandatory ones). If you prefer not to rebase your models, just assume that the model is mounted on a base of the appropriate size when setting the model up, moving it, or measuring any distances in a matched play game. For example, if you are a veteran player using an old unit that is mounted on 25mm square bases instead of the suggested 32mm round bases, you should set the unit up, make any moves, and measure all distances as if they were mounted on the larger 32mm round bases when you play matched play games. Although this may sound a bit complicated, in practice it is actually very easy to do.

  • Charles Darwin Ben Jonson Voyage of the Beagle Ii Love Freed from Ignor
    PEOPLE MENTIONED IN WALDEN THERE WAS SOME RISK OF CHARLES ROBERT DARWIN’S 1 TURNING OUT AN IDLE MAN “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY 1. In the year that the Beagle sailed, Darwin was regarded as a budding geologist. His geology mentor, Woodwardian Professor of Geology at Cambridge Adam Sedgwick, would write while this young protégé was sailing around the world that: [He] is doing admirable work in South America, and has already sent home a collection above all price.... There was some risk of his turning out an idle man, but his character will now be fixed, and if God spares his life he will have a great name among the naturalists of Europe. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF WALDEN: CHARLES ROBERT DARWIN PEOPLE MENTIONED IN WALDEN “WALKING”: A tanned skin is something more than respectable, and perhaps olive is a fitter color than white for a man — a denizen of the woods. “The pale white man!” I do not wonder that the African pitied him. Darwin the naturalist says “A white man bathing by the side of a Tahitian was like a plant bleached by the gardener’s art compared with a fine, dark green one growing vigorously in the open fields.” Ben Jonson exclaims,— “How near to good is what is fair!” So I would say— How near to good is what is wild! Life consists with Wildness. The most alive is the wildest. Not yet subdued to man, its presence refreshes him. One who pressed forward incessantly and never rested from his labors, who grew fast and made infinite demands on life, would always find himself in a new country or wilderness, and surrounded by the raw material of life.

It's the kind of comic that fans of independent publishing and the experimental nature of that field will enjoy immensely. LJY rated it did not like it Oct 18, Other Editions 1. Wonder of wonders, Erik Larsen actually loves all the dumb crap that comes with superhero comics! Following an attack on the police station and the murder of Cyberface who is later resurrected , the Dragon led a SWAT team to finally take down the Overlord. Big, stupid, 90's fun. Don't miss out on these great deals. Now, years later, I've decided to read the series in its entirety in these inexpensive archive editions. Remove from wishlist. Despite being the founding member of the team, the Dragon spends little time as a member. While he was gone, the Vicious Circle had taken control of the city. No trivia or quizzes yet. Categories : Comics characters introduced in Image Comics superheroes Fictional police officers Works about dragons Image Comics titles Extraterrestrial superheroes Fictional characters with superhuman strength Fictional warlords Fictional characters with accelerated healing Characters created by Erik Larsen Comics adapted into television series Comics adapted into animated series.
