The VBC’s first national director was Althea Warren. She took a leave of absence from her job as head librarian of the Los Angeles Public Library to oversee the campaign. Warren contacted librarians across the country to volunteer with her. #WomensHistoryMonth @USArmy @TRADOC
Warren created specialized committees to handle the VBC’s publicity, book collection, and book distribution. She got other organizations to participate in the VBC, including book publishers, universities, the Works Projects Association, and the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.

Today in UFO History - Mystery at Sea
November 20, 1963 - nr. Blythe, UK
1/6:00 p.m. Capt. J. Murray and three members of the crew of the Aberdeen collier Thrift see a flashing red light as they are traveling south in the North Sea from Aberdeen to
2/Blyth, Northumberland, England. It passes within a mile of their port side, 15–30 feet above sea level and suddenly disappears 3 miles astern, presumably into the water. The collier, which puts about and makes for the object’s vanishing point, has 2 radar contacts on its
3/screens, but they disappear as the ship approaches. They search for 3 hours but find no wreckage. [Eberhart]
(1/N) El Gob. no puede contarle a la ciudadanía los #costos asumidos para el proceso de #vacunación debido a las cláusulas de confidencialidad exigidas. Sin embargo, sí es posible saber cuál es el monto total de los #recursos destinados. A la fecha, vamos en $3 billones de pesos.
(2/N) El Gobierno nacional creó el Fondo de Mitigación de Emergencias (#FOME) con el objetivo de centralizar los recursos necesarios para atender las necesidades causadas por la #pandemia. Lo hizo mediante el #Decreto444 de 2020 (bit.ly/2Nelprw).
(3/N) El uso de los recursos de este fondo se presenta en el portal "Medidas Covid" (bit.ly/39zAXxd) de la página de @MinHacienda. Allí se expone cuántos recursos se han destinado, comprometido y pagado en cada uno de los sectores (agricultura, comercio, industria,...)
FUTURES #STRIP: "Vadeli şerit", bir vadeli kontratın 12 farklı vadesini tek parçada alıp-satmaya denir. Yaygın kullanılan enerji sektöründe; Petrol vs Petrol fonu olayına bakalım:
Son 5 haftada:
Spot WTI: $12⇒$36 (+%300)
Temmuz vade: $18⇒$36 (+%100)
"Strip": $25⇒$38 (+%50)
Son 5 haftada:
Spot WTI: $12⇒$36 (+%300)
Temmuz vade: $18⇒$36 (+%100)
"Strip": $25⇒$38 (+%50)
Olayın özeti: $12'den $36'ya çıkışı bekleyen bireyler fon aldılar. Halbuki akaryakıt tankeri sahibi olmadıkları için #spot petrol değil; farklı vadelileri (kabaca tüm şeridi) satın alan fonları almış oldular...
Strip'le kıyaslayınız:
#USO: $17⇒$27 (+%59)
#AES: 566⇒756 (+%34)

Teknik not:
En büyük fon USO, tarihi boyunca "en yakın kontratı" alırdı. 1 gecelik eksiye düşen (zaten satmış olduğu) kontrat korkuttu ve uzun vadelere atladı.
AES ise "suyunun suyu" olarak bunu yapan fonlardan yüksek maliyetlenmişti; yükselişten strip kadar bile nasiplenemedi.

If May WTI Crude went negative -$40, and June WTI Crude is currently down $8 to $11 (on its way to negative), can US exchange listed oil ETFs go below Zero? If I were a major counterparty after yesterday’s session, I would demand more than 100% collateral. #USO #usoil
Exchange listed oil ETFs represent about a third of all contracts in June WTI crude. They must be sold given current market dynamics from May 11-may 15th. What do they do if oil goes negative before May 11th? Do they stop at Zero?
Or does “management” go into capital preservation mode and try to sell a third of open interest before it hits Zero and send what’s left of retail investor’s money back to them as a consolation prize for not losing everything? #usoil
Dispose of #MTNL immediately, before it sucks out more funds from the stomachs of the poor, and convert #BSNL into a utility supplying digital connectivity to every village in India, which govt & private sector can use by paying user charges: timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india…
2/p If MTNL was privatized in 2003, decade of losses cld hv been avoided. MTNL service was so bad in 2013 that I switched to a private provider. Only usefulness of BSNL is its rural network, which cn b converted into a public utility(digital India). Rest cld hv been sold yrs ago.
3/p MTNL was formed out of BSNL in the hope that it could compete with the private sector in the two most profitable areas(metros) for telecom sector. It was an abject failure, despite the fact that private players had to pay for spectrum, while MTNL & BSNL got spectrum free!
