If you leave me : a novel
\"When the communist-backed army from the north invades her home, sixteen-year-old Haemi Lee, along with her widowed mother and ailing brother, is forced to flee to a refugee camp along the coast. For a few hours each night, she escapes her family's makeshift home and tragic circumstances with her childhood friend, Kyunghwan. Focused on finishing school, Kyunghwan doesn't realize his older and wealthier cousin, Jisoo, has his sights set on the beautiful and spirited Haemi--and is determined to marry her before joining the fight. But as Haemi becomes a wife, then a mother, her decision to forsake the boy she always loved for the security of her family sets off a dramatic saga that will have profound effects for generations to come\"--Provided by publisher.

Stumbling Upon Feminism
In this article, we discuss a case study of a feminist society in a girls’ secondary school in England, highlighting how teenage girls use social media to combat sexism. Considering the recent growth of feminist societies in UK schools, there is still a lack of research documenting how young feminists use social media’s feminist content and connections. Addressing this gap, we draw on interviews and social media analyses to examine how girls navigate feminisms online and in school. Despite their multifaceted use of social media, the girls in our research undervalued digital feminism as valid or valued, in large part because of dismissive teacher and peer responses. We conclude by suggesting that schools need to cultivate social media as a legitimate pedagogical space by developing informed adult support for youth engagement with social justice-oriented online content.

Is Big Oil Ready for Carbon Pricing?
Canada's federal government this year expanded its carbon program by imposing a national tax for fossil fuels. The obvious portfolio adjustment in the face of a carbon tax would be to reduce exposure to fossil fuels. There are funds that invest in stocks and bonds with an eye on greenhouse-gas emissions by either owning clean-energy companies or underweighting the worst carbon offenders.

Neverending ETF Stories
A mutual fund can't convert to an ETF without shareholder approval, says Jeremy Senderowicz, a partner at Dechert. Many mutual funds have multiple classes of shares that accommodate sales channels and tiers of institutional investors; ETFs don't. [...]mass ETF conversion means taking fees away from sales intermediaries that collect on those share classes of mutual funds, possibly disincentivizing them from selling the ETFs.

The Ready-Made Revolution
Exchange-traded funds have steadily brought down the cost of investing and made trading big swaths of the market much easier, and financial advisors are offering services other than stock-picking and investment management. Some 12% of the 350,000 financial advisors in the U.S. are fully outsourcing portfolio construction to model portfolios from the likes of BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Charles Schwab, Vanguard, State Street, Merrill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley. Top providers of model portfolios including Morningstar, Vanguard, BlackRock, and Charles Schwab, use anywhere from 8% to 100% nonproprietary funds, says Cerulli. Because portfolios are each built differently, and advisors can then tweak them, comparing performance across model portfolios is virtually impossible.

Trian Tries Again With Legg
Trian founding partner and CEO Nelson Peltz joined the $770 billion money manager's board of directors on Monday, his second stint in the last decade. [...]there was some frustration among investors when Legg Mason pivoted its cost-cutting strategy to focus just on the holding company rather than across their independent affiliates. \"Cost savings and buying back stock is helpful, but the more important question is whether they have the right mix of affiliates to drive organic growth,\" says Lee, who has a price target of $40.

Fast Starts Guarantee Nothing
BLACKROCK'S NEW SUSTAINABLE EXCHANGE-TRADED FUND JUST collected nearly a billion dollars in inflows overnight, shattering records for ETFs that use environmental, social, or governance criteria to build portfolios. The iShares ESG MSCI USA Leaders fund (ticker: SUSL) had a blockbuster debut, but it will take many more like it for socially conscious investing to really become a force in the exchange-traded fund mainstream. [...]ESG investing seems better suited for direct indexing, through which investors both large and small can get mass customization. ?
