China A Equity Strategy
China A Equity Strategy

China A Equity Strategy

The Morgan Stanley China A Equity Strategy is a concentrated strategy focusing on seeking stocks with high secular growth and tactical positions in cyclical stocks with attractive valuation and/or good fundamentals and dynamics. To achieve its objective, the strategy combines top-down sector allocation with bottom-up stock selection and disciplined risk management.

Investment Approach

The investment team believes that there are inefficiencies in the China A-share equity market that it can systematically take advantage of through a disciplined investment process. The team believes that over the next decade China is likely to embark upon long-term change to its economic growth model. Some of the team’s long-term themes are based on this. These long-term themes act as anchors and provide a framework upon which we structure our strategy. We seek to generate alpha as these themes develop.

Our investment philosophy looks for multiple drivers of investment ideas that can outperform by identifying the macro drivers and company fundamentals that have the potential to drive out-performance. The investment team focuses on stocks that have a sustainable growth profile and a high or increasing return potential to the shareholder and looks for sectors/themes that consensus may overlook, but where we believe positive change may yet occur.

China’s domestic market has unique macroeconomic characteristics that require experienced and dedicated professionals who can provide first hand knowledge of China’s domestic market and the companies that operate there. Morgan Stanley Investment Management’s (MSIM) China investment team has a solid institutional history and good track record and is committed to the long-term success of China A-share investing. The diversity, experience and intense interaction of our Asian Equity and Global Emerging Markets investment team is a significant factor in our process.

MSIM is a pioneer in China A-share, Asia and emerging markets investing and has demonstrated expertise and commitment to the investment universe through all market cycles. Having been investing in Asia since 1986 and in China A Equity since 2006, we believe that our time-tested investment philosophy and investment process can help deliver attractive performance.

Due to Morgan Stanley’s global presence, reputation and extensive resources, the strategy’s investment team is able to access company management and senior government leaders. Such access helps the team perform original research and rigorous analysis, gain insights into country, industry and business fundamentals, and establish long-term relationships on behalf of the strategy.

Investment Process

The team follows a disciplined investment process that integrates both top-down and bottom-up perspectives.

  1. TOP-DOWN ANALYSIS: We focus on dynamics such as macroeconomic indicators, social and political trends, fiscal and monetary policy and currency movements. This is combined with an in-depth analysis of market sentiment and valuation analysis (based on price/book (P/B) value, price/ earnings (P/E) and price/cash flow (P/CF) ratios as well as intrinsic value models such as discounted cash flow (DCF) and Sum of the Parts). This process provides a framework for thematic/sector analysis.

  2. BOTTOM-UP STOCK SELECTION: At the stock level, our bottom-up fundamental analysis based on dynamics, valuation and sentiment is integral in understanding the companies in which we invest. We focus on companies with what we consider strong management and good earnings visibility. Interviewing company management gives us important information about their ability to execute, their integrity and the risks inherent in their business models. As a result, the China Equity team conducts approximately 400 company visits/meetings with corporate and government entities as well as sector and industry specialists each year, spending at least a week per month on the ground throughout China.

  3. We spend, approximately, 30% of our time on top-down macro (including macro-economic analysis and macro portfolio themes) and sector analysis and 70% on bottom-up security selection and analysis.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. There is no assurance that a portfolio will achieve its investment objective. Investment in this strategy involves a high degree of risk, including the risk that the entire amount invested may be lost. In general, portfolios are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the portfolio will decline. Market values can change daily due to economic and other events (e.g. natural disasters, health crises, terrorism, conflicts and social unrest) that affect markets, countries, companies or governments. It is difficult to predict the timing, duration, and potential adverse effects (e.g. portfolio liquidity) of events. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this portfolio. Please be aware that this portfolio is subject to certain additional risks. Emerging market securities. Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic, and market risks. The risks of investing in emerging-market countries are greater than the risks generally associated with investments in foreign developed countries. The portfolio’s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of the investment will fluctuate with the U.S. dollar exchange rates. To the extent hedged by use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the precise matching of foreign currency forward exchange contract amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible because the future value of such securities in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the date on which the contract is entered into and the date it matures. There is additional risk that such transactions reduce or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken and that foreign currency forward exchange contracts create exposure to currencies in which the portfolio’s securities are not denominated. Frontier emerging markets. The risks associated with emerging markets are magnified when investing in frontier emerging market countries, accordingly, investments in the portfolio must be viewed as highly speculative in nature and may not be suitable for an investor who is not able to afford the loss of the entire investment.Derivative Instruments/Strategic Transactions. Derivative Instruments/Strategic Transactions involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of the such instruments and the underlying assets, possible default by the other party to the transaction, illiquidity of the derivative instrument and, to the extent the Adviser’s prediction as to certain market movements is incorrect, the risk that the use of such Strategic Transactions could result in losses greater than if they had not been used. These losses may have a potentially large negative impact on the strategy’s performance. Equity securities are more volatile than other investments. Nondiversification.Nondiversified Portfolios often invest in a more limited number of issuers. As such, changes in the financial condition or market value of a single issuer may cause greater volatility.

There is no guarantee that any investment strategy will work under all market conditions, and each investor should evaluate their ability to invest for the long-term, especially during periods of downturn in the market. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

A separately managed account may not be appropriate for all investors. Separate accounts managed according to the Strategy include a number of securities and will not necessarily track the performance of any index. Please consider the investment objectives, risks and fees of the Strategy carefully before investing. A minimum asset level is required.

Meetings are a crucial aspect of any business, as they allow to exchange ideas and bring up any issues that might exist. Because meetings are so crucial to a company you want to ensure that you are making them as engaging as possible and allow attendees to freely express themselves. By making meetings as engaging as possible, and allowing for easy feedback and participation, you can increase meeting efficiency.

Are your company meetings as effective as they should be? Probably not, because not all participants will provide feedback or ask questions in an open setting for any number of reasons. However, your meeting will never be as efficient as it should be if your attendees do not provide any feedback at all. You need to come up with a way to allow everyone to speak their mind, and encourage them to provide feedback. This method of providing feedback also needs to be easy to use, inexpensive, and not time-consuming.

Text messaging is the answer to the question “how to have an effective meeting” because it helps attendees provide their feedback instantaneously and anonymously. Essentially, text messaging gets rid of two issues: Time, and Comfort level. If you have large meetings, not everyone will always have a chance to say their piece, especially if they need to wait in a line or go up to a podium. Likewise, not everyone is comfortable providing their feedback in a setting where all eyes are on them either. Therefore text messaging not only allows everyone to have their say but also allows those that aren’t comfortable being in the spotlight an outlet which doesn’t make them uncomfortable.

Now, that isn’t to say that everyone who texts in some feedback or a question will have it answered right then and there. As mentioned before, some meetings are rather short, and it wouldn’t be possible to field 100 to 150 different questions or concerns. However, those questions, concerns and feedback can be stored for later use, rather than have them not be received at all.

Every business or company should use text messaging in order to make their meetings more effective. Some companies and businesses may choose to go with a complete ARS (audience response system) but those can be costly to set up, and time-consuming to get everyone using correctly. If you want a low cost, easy to use way to get more people to participate in meetings, then you will definitely want to consider text messaging.

4 of the Most Expensive Car Problems

Mechanic repairing a car

Most of us are no strangers to car troubles. These troubles may result from bad luck, poor manufacturing, or improper maintenance. According to data published on Bankrate, the total cost of accidents caused by neglected vehicle maintenance was $2 billion in 2004. This amount has likely increased over the past 10 years, as during economic downturns, people simply don’t have the money to spend on car maintenance that they don’t feel is an immediate cause for alarm.

According to a AAA press release, the cost of maintaining your vehicle is around 5 cents per mile for a sedan owner. If you drive the average of 15,000 miles per year, your maintenance costs are $750 annually, or $62.50 monthly. This is less of a monthly cost than many of us spend on going out to lunch.

These maintenance costs are a worthwhile expense. While neglecting your car’s maintenance can cause an accident, it can also result in a larger financial problem down the road. Failing to perform the essentials, like regular tune-ups, oil changes, and tire rotations, can lead to a catastrophic mechanical failure. Some of these failures can come at such a high cost that the cost of the repairs exceeds your vehicle’s value, rendering your vehicle totaled.

Although not all large repairs will render a car totaled, many major repairs still cost a few thousand dollars. Car Problems Zoo analyzes data on vehicle repairs, and it indicates that since 1996, some of the most commonly reported mechanical failures are powertrain problems, problems with the electrical system, and issues related to the brake and steering systems.

To find out the most expensive car problems, we called and asked a Pelzer, South Carolina-based auto servicing business called Heatherly Bros. Auto Parts & Towing. The company said a “blown motor” is the worst news a car owner could hear in terms of cost, adding that problems with the “transmission, a blown head-gasket, and certain air conditioning problems are [also] really expensive.”

1. Blown motor

Engine issues are among the most commonly reported car problems, with 64,456 reported cases since 1996. According to Motorera, a blown engine is one that “has suffered some internal damage and will need extensive repair or replacement.”

A blown engine can occur as a result of problems such as a broken rod, a damaged valve, or leaking oil. If you need an engine replacement, a new one costs between $1,000 and $4,000, depending on your vehicle, the type of engine, and the shop where you get your car repaired.

Oftentimes, cars that need new engines have high mileage. When a car has more than 150,000 miles, The Car Connection suggests considering your options in terms of replacing other parts, as well. Vital parts, such as your power steering, radiator, and transmission, also have high mileage. If you only replace the engine, your car may be right back in the shop in a short amount of time. It’s wise to consider the whole picture, including your car’s value, with a large fix like an engine replacement.

2. Transmission replacement

Around nine out of every 10 automatic transmission failures occur as a result of problems with transmission fluid, according to Auto Service Online. In some instances, the transmission fluid does not get proper attention. This occurs because transmission fluid does not need to be changed as frequently as other fluids like oil, so it may slip an owner’s mind. In other cases, transmission fluid may overheat. To prevent this, you should change your fluid every two or three years.

With manual transmissions, improper driving habits like “riding the clutch” may cause the transmission to wear. The cost of a new transmission can be devastating. On average, you are looking at a cost of between $1,800 and $3,500 for a replacement. If you opt for a repair instead of a replacement, your cost is a bit lower. You car have a transmission or clutch repaired for between $1,000 and $2,000.

3. Head gasket

A head gasket is essential to an engine’s proper functioning. Aiding in the compression process, a gasket seals an engine’s cylinders and stops coolant and oil from leaking. A blown gasket is is often caused by problems with timing, cooling, or manufacturing errors. When a head gasket blows, it causes mayhem within an engine. Coolant may leak, the engine can overheat, white smoke may come out of the exhaust pipe, and the oil may become discolored.

If your head gasket blows, you are looking at a serious cost.  Although the gasket itself is not the most expensive part in the world, the labor costs are high. According to estimates by The Engine Guy, you should pay between $1,200 and $1,600 for head gasket repair.

4. Air conditioning compressor

An air compressor allows air to cool inside of a car. It separates high and low pressure air to foster an environment where freon can do its work, cooling down you car. A compressor can malfunction because of a parts issue. A rod or valve inside of the compressor can break, causing the compressor to stop performing. Or another part within your car, like an engine belt, may cause a ripple effect that results in a malfunctioning compressor.

A new compressor may cost anywhere between $200 and $600, depending on the cause of the malfunction, your car make and model, and your repair shop. If you need additional services, such as freon charging, you will have to pay an additional cost of around $100.

ferrari at the 2018 revival

Vintage Ferraris are a bit of an obsession of mine, so it's perhaps not surprising that I've created another Ferrari - only Goodwood Revival gallery in the same vein as the one I generated last year. Whilst Friday's Kinrara Trophy brought a host of 250 SWBs to Goodwood, there were earlier drum - braked examples to be found in the Fordwater & Freddie March Trophy races, plus a smattering of other cars across other grids. The Revival continues to be the premiere event to catch these cars in action in the UK...

Starring: Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, Meryl Streep, Brendan Gleeson, Anne-Marie Duff, Ben Whishaw, Romola Garai, Samuel West

Drama which was inspired by the early-20th-century campaign by the suffragettes for the right of women to vote, centering on Maud (Carey Mulligan), a working wife and mother who comes to realize that she must fight for her dignity both at home and in her workplace.

Realizing that she is not alone, she becomes an activist alongside other brave women from all walks of life, galvanized by the outlaw fugitive Emmeline Pankhurst (Meryl Streep), risking their very lives to ensure that women’s rights would be recognized and respected.

When increasingly aggressive police action forces Maud and her dedicated fellow suffragettes underground, they engage in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with the authorities, who are shocked as the women’s civil disobedience escalates and sparks debate across the nation.

Best Quotes   (Total Quotes: 15)

Maud Watts: All my life I’ve been respectful, done what men told me. Well I can’t have that anymore.

Emmeline Pankhurst: For fifty years we have labored peacefully to secure the vote for women. We’ve been ridiculed, battered, under ignored.

Emmeline Pankhurst: Never underestimate the power we women have to define our own destiny. We have been left with  no alternative. Defy this government.

Emmeline Pankhurst: We do not want to be lawbreakers, we want to be lawmakers.

[to Maude]
Emmeline Pankhurst: Never surrender, never give up the fight.

[after catching Maude and the rest of a group of Suffragettes]
Inspector Arthur Steed: Don’t bother arresting them, let their husbands deal with them.

Violet Miller: You want me to respect the law, then make the law respectable.

David Lloyd George: The finest eloquence is that which gets things done.

[after the police drop her off at her home]
Maud Watts: Sonny, I’m sorry.
Sonny Watts: I took you on, Maude. I thought I could straighten you out.
Maud Watts: What if you don’t need to?
Sonny Watts: You’re a mother, Maude. You’re a wife, my wife. That’s what you’re meant to be.
Maud Watts: I’m not just that anymore.

Maud Watts: Are you a suffragette, Mrs. Ellyn?
Edith Ellyn: Yes, but I consider myself more of a soldier, Mrs. Watts.
Maud Watts: These women’s testimonies make a difference?
Edith Ellyn: Maybe, but as Mrs. Pankhurst says, “It’s deeds not words that will get us to vote.”

Maud Watts: My job is to enforce the law.
Inspector Arthur Steed: It all means nothing to me, I’ve had no say in making it the law.

Maud Watts: We break windows, we burn things because war’s the only language men listen to. Cause you’ve beaten us and betrayed us and there’s nothing else left.
Inspector Arthur Steed: There’s nothing left but to stop you.
Maud Watts: What are you gonna do? Lock us all up? We’re in every home, we’re half the human race, you can’t stop us all.
Inspector Arthur Steed: You might lose your life before this is over.
Maud Watts: We will win.

Maud Watts: I’m worth no more, no less than you. We will win.

Emmeline Pankhurst: I would rather be a rebel than a slave.

[last lines]

Character Actor James Rebhorn Writes His Own Obituary

james rebhorn obit

People die – we all know it. However, it makes us stop for a moment and think. We then move on with our lives as best we can. Sometimes people make lasting impressions, more so in the world of cinema and television where people, moments live on forever.

Character actor James Rebhorn passed away on Friday from melanoma – he was 65 years old. Rebhorn was a great actor, propping up movies and shows with small but powerful performances (he had a notable role in David Fincher’s The Game). He’ll be missed by people who care about the little moments in movies. However, he even managed to impress us in death – writing his own (rather moving) obituary:

James Robert Rebhorn was born on Sept. 1, 1948, in Philadelphia, PA. His mother, Ardell Frances Rebhorn, nee Hoch, loved him very much and supported all his dreams. She taught him the value of good manners and courtesy, and that hospitality is no small thing. His father, James Harry Rebhorn, was no less devoted to him. From him, Jim learned that there is no excuse for poor craftsmanship. A job well done rarely takes more or less time than a job poorly done. They gave him his faith and wisely encouraged him to stay in touch with God.

He is survived by his sister, Janice Barbara Galbraith, of Myrtle Beach, SC. She was his friend, his confidant, and, more often than either of them would like to admit, his bridge over troubled waters. He is also survived by his wife, Rebecca Fulton Linn, and his two daughters, Emma Rebecca Rebhorn and Hannah Linn Rebhorn. They anchored his life and gave him the freedom to live it. Without them, always at the center of his being, his life would have been little more than a vapor. Rebecca loved him with all his flaws, and in her the concept of ceaseless love could find no better example.

His children made him immensely proud. Their dedication to improving our species and making the world a better place gave him hope for the future. They deal with grief differently, and they should each manage it as they see fit. He hopes, however, that they will grieve his passing only as long as necessary. They have much good work to do, and they should get busy doing it. Time is flying by. His son-in-law, Ben, also survives him. Jim loved Ben, who was as a son to Jim, especially through these last months. His aunts Jean, Dorothy and Florence, numerous cousins and their families, and many devoted friends also survive Jim. He loved them all, and he knows they loved him.

Jim received his BA at Wittenberg University and his MFA at Columbia. He was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha Nu Zeta 624, a life-long Lutheran, and a longtime member of both the AMC and ACLU.
Jim was fortunate enough to earn his living doing what he loved. He was a professional actor. His unions were always there for him, and he will remain forever grateful for the benefits he gained as a result of the union struggle. Without his exceptional teachers and the representation of the best agents in the business, he wouldn’t have had much of a career. He was a lucky man in every way.

–Jim Rebhorn, March 2014

Signs you need to replace your bike tyres

The bicycle tyres wear out after sometime because it gets into contact with different types of surfaces each day. It’s crucial to have your tyres changed as soon as you notice severe signs of damages. Below are some of the key signs that you need to replace your bicycle tyres:

- Recurring flat tyre issue - Do you frequently have flat tyres? Chances are you need to replace your tyres or bike inner tubes. Small punctures are mostly caused by pointy debris on the road as well as faulty rim tapes and pointy bike spokes.

- Worn out tread - Check the shape and depth of the tread patterns. Does the surface still feel intact? Is it smooth? If your tyre feels and looks a bit different than before then you may need to install a new one. Pay close attention to how your tyres look like when you first install them so you can easily determine when you should replace them.

- Bubbles and bulges - Do you often feel a bump while you’re riding your bicycle even on a smooth terrain? We highly recommend replacing your tyres as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might suffer from bike crashes.

- Exposed casing - This is one of the most obvious signs that you must replace tyres. After riding your bicycle for months, you’d notice exposed casing on either the front or rear tyres.

École Centrale de Nantes: an advanced business-oriented education

28 Oct 2013

Each year, the 370 new student engineers recruited to the École Centrale de Nantes (ECN) begin studying the technologies and issues of the future, including the marine renewable energies. But the ECN is also a research and development centre that is open to industry, offering supervision for companies’ innovative projects, and playing its part in the economic development of the region.

The École Centrale de Nantes in figures:

  • 5 CNRS-endorsed research laboratories
  • 22 business partners
  • 250 lecturers from industry
  • 1950 students (1240 student engineers + 300 work placement students and apprentices, 200 masters candidates and 210 PhD candidates)
  • 11 000 graduates (of whom 9 000 have engineering degrees)

To continually increase production with maximum efficiency, while preserving natural resources: that is the 21st century challenge for which the ECN aims to prepare its students. Of course its 1 950 multiskilled engineers study science and technology, but also the humanities, social sciences and economics. In total, more than 70 innovative courses are offered, whose high standards have lifted the ECN into the ranks of the top fifteen best engineering schools in France.

Research and development for industry

Beyond its role of offering education and training of high reputation, the ECN also sustains close links with the local economy, notably by supporting industrial research and development. Airbus, Areva, DCNS, ALSTOM, STX, Veolia and RTE are among the companies who have already benefited from the ECN’s research facilities, including the five laboratories which the ECN places at the disposal of companies to add value to their existing work. Each of these facilities is unique in its field, enabling the delivery of cogent responses to current and future technological challenges.

ecole-centrale-nantes-etudiants-etrangersThe hydrodynamic, energy and atmospheric environment research laboratory (Laboratoire de recherche en hydrodynamique, énergétique et environnement atmosphérique, LHEEA) has been active in its pursuit of knowledge in the marine renewable energies for more than twenty years. The laboratory’s 28-strong team makes both of its research tanks available to researchers and professionals, who share a 148m tank for refining hull designs, and a 50m tank whose giant fans and wave generators simulate ocean wind and wave conditions, making realistic testing of 50:1 scale models possible. It was in this tank that France’s first floating wind turbine, the Winflo, was developed by a consortium formed by Nass&Wind, DCNS and Vergnet. Subsequent testing of a full-size prototype was then performed at the newly developed SemRev marine research site (see box). There are high hopes for the future of SemRev, whose development is overseen by the ECN within the framework of the 2007-2013 regional investment fund. More than 18 million euros have been contributed to the fund by the EU, the Pays de la Loire Region, the Loire-Atlantique Department and the French national research body, the CNRS.

Good conditions for business creation

 The SemRev site, test tanks, an atmospheric thermal test facility, a crash simulator, a high-speed machining platform, and a virtual reality platform—add up to as much advanced equipment as any business might wish for in developing a competitive edge—and attracts the best ideas and projects to the ECN. The ECN also makes an effort to help startups. It is a founding member of the Atlantopole, the Loire-Atlantique’s hi-tech business park developed with the University of Nantes, offering personalised mentoring to developers of innovative projects, and more recently has also participated in the Audencia business school’s startup incubator, Symbiose.

Two innovative start-ups, HydrOcéan and Innosea, both recognised for their high competence in the marine renewable energies, had their origins at the ECN, doing computer simulations for marine engineering design.

The network of the school continues to strengthen, which also has a positive impact on the employability of its engineering graduates. Four out of ten graduates commence employment immediately at the conclusion of their studies, and more than eight out of ten have found work within two months of graduating.

SemRev: the easy access marine experimental site

Bertrand Alessandrini, directeur du développement de l’École Centrale de Nantes

Bertrand Alessandrini, directeur du développement de l’École Centrale de Nantes

As with all of our facilities, the SemRev marine experimental site is open to industry. This site is the only one of its kind in France, and the only one to be connected to the European national grid. SenRev is linked by cable to the EDRF network, and all our test systems can connect to this. So as we study and improve our prototypes, we produce electricity!

At SemRev, our industrial partners benefit from a turnkey tool, free from the administrative hassles which can make obtaining authorisation for marine experiments long, difficult and unpredictable. Our first tests of floating wind turbines will begin in 2014, along with some wave power generators. We welcome around ten industrial partners to our laboratory, working with them on technological developments in the marine renewable energies.

Many of these projects are suitable for subsequent testing at the SemRev site, whose presence is a real competitive advantage for the region..

Watch Video: Patapaa and AY Poyoo link up for the remix of “PUTUU”.

Patapaa and AY Poyoo have met to combine their lyrical prowess on what is believed to be the remix of Stonebwoy’s viral song “Putuu”

The video was sighted on the Facebook page of AY Poyoo and we saw the two most talked about Artistes in the country standing outside and dropping some gibberish bars on a beat with a phone.

The intro was done by Patapaa with his popular “scopatumana” terms and AY Poyoo also entered with some lines taken from Stonebwoy’s Putuu.

Fans are already in high anticipation as they hope it’ll be a remix to the song which they can’t wait to listen.

Msc Cruises adds Tampa as new year homeport

MSC Armonia By courtesy of FINCANTIERI S.p.A.; All rights reserved

• Following an extensive dry-dock refresh, MSC Armonia to become the first MSC Cruises ship to homeport in Tampa as of November 2020

• Winter 2019/20: four MSC Cruises ships dedicated to the Caribbean region for first time, as further evidence of the Company’s focus on the region

Geneva, Switzerland, 12 September 2019 – MSC Cruises today announced that, following an extensive dry-dock refresh for the ship, Tampa, FL will become the new year-round homeport for MSC Armonia from November 2020 as the cruise line continues to develop its presence in the North American market.

Guest demand for cruise options from Tampa has led to MSC Armonia’s move from Miami next year and the first sailing from her new homeport will be on 1 November 2020 when she begins a 4-night Caribbean mini cruise to Cozumel in Mexico. MSC Armonia will offer 4- to 5-night short cruises for the 2020/21 winter season and for summer 2021 week-long cruises will be available.

A major highlight in all of MSC Armonia’s itineraries from Tampa will be calls to Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, the new breathtaking private island destination in the Bahamas that opens in November 2019 and will be exclusive to MSC Cruises guests. The ship’s new itineraries will also feature MSC Cruises’ exclusive partnership with U.S. home and lifestyle expert Martha Stewart, including exclusive culinary and discovery experiences on board and ashore.

MSC Meraviglia will join MSC Seaside, MSC Divina and MSC Armonia in North America for winter 2019/20. As a result, MSC Cruises will have four ships for the first time serve this market in another tangible measure of its expanding presence in the region.

Gianni Onorato, MSC Cruises’ CEO, said: “The introduction of Tampa as a homeport is another important milestone as we continue to grow our presence and profile in North America to meet the growing demand for our product.

“MSC Armonia’s short cruises will be perfect for first time U.S. guests to experience our European heritage and I’m sure that our seven-night product will appeal greatly to families. With every sailing from Tampa including our exclusive Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve private island, all of the ship’s itineraries should also be extremely attractive for large U.S. groups and charters.”

For winter 2021/21 MSC Armonia will offer a variety of destinations, including Key West in Florida and the Mexican resorts of Cozumel, Costa Maya and Progreso, as well as the Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.

Following its inaugural season in Tampa, from May 2021 MSC Armonia will then switch to 7-night sailings with calls at Key West, Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Cozumel and Progreso.

With options for guests to book back-to-back cruises with new destinations on each sailing, travelers also have the ability to extend the length of their holiday to 9 or 10 nights.

Can solar energy research survive the White House

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The White House will ask Congress next month for a 72 percent cut to research programs on solar energy and energy efficiency in fiscal 2019, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing draft budget documents.

The Trump administration is pursuing a so-called energy dominance policy that seeks to boost production and exports of oil, natural gas, and coal.

The Department of Energy had asked the White House for more modest spending cuts to the programs on advancing wind and solar power and efficiency technologies, but the executive branch’s Office of Management and Budget wanted deeper cuts, the report said.

The White House and the Energy Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the report.

The budget is primarily a political document and is not likely to be embraced by Congress, but it represents a starting point for the administration on negotiations.

Spending at the DOE’s energy efficiency and renewable energy was set at $2.04 billion in the 2018 fiscal year. The Trump administration had asked the spending to be cut to $636 million, a request that Congress did not approve.

8 servings (serving size: 3 pork slices and 1/4 cup onion mixture)

"I used this recipe to teach my college-aged sons about the ease of cooking with pork tenderloins because they are so versatile," Clancy says. "Now they prepare the dish on their own, experimenting with different beers and dried fruits." As with any dish that incorporates alcohol, this is intended for students who are of legal drinking age.

How to Make It

Step 1

Sprinkle pork with 3/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 6 minutes, browning on all sides. Remove pork from the pan. Add onion to pan; reduce heat, and cook for 8 minutes or until browned. Remove onion from pan; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and set aside. Add beer to pan; cook 1 minute over high heat or until reduced to 1/2 cup.

Step 2

Return pork and onion to pan; add broth, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes. Stir in cranberries; cover and cook 30 minutes or until pork is tender. Remove from heat. Place pork on a cutting board; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Cut each tenderloin into 12 slices. Serve with onion mixture.

OtteratC's Review

December 10, 2009
This was a delicious dish with great flavor. We just had it for a weekday meal, but it could do well for company, too. It takes time to cook, but it isn't that much work. I only did one tenderloin, but did the whole recipe otherwise. There was enough pork for two meals for us, and we ate all the onion and cranberries, too! We had it with a green salad and rice. A green veggie would have been nice, too. Definitely making this again.

An emergency children's shelter to serve Guadalupe County is set to open soon.

Board secretary Kari Cato said the Guadalupe County Children's Lodge, funded by local donations, is expected to open next month at an undisclosed rural location after contracts with the state are completed.

Cato said the lack of an area shelter made it hard to serve youths 5 to 17 who have been removed from homes because of abuse or neglect.

“There's a high need for it,” Cato said of the shelter, which has more than a dozen beds. “There was no place for (children in) Guadalupe County to go; the nearest place was New Braunfels. It was hard for a parent's visit or court date.”

Cato said the shelter, a renovated home south of Seguin, still needs donations and funds to care for the children. Needed are new clothes including undergarments, toiletries, first-aid items, rugs for bedrooms, bedside table lamps, school supplies and gift cards.

Community relations coordinator Eloise Hudson from CASA of Central Texas, a partner agency, said their volunteers deal with child welfare in the area.

“We'll be working with the same children, so we felt supporting that shelter is going to support children in that community,” Hudson said. “There are so many children that need a safe place to be, and this is going to be one stop for them on their path for permanency; we want to help make that stop as easy as possible.”

For more information about the lodge or donating, call (830) 372-KIDS.
