Praise The Lord , Hallelujah Chelsea's Husband to Close Greek Hedge Fund After Losing 90% of Value 8:12 AM, MAY 11, 2016 \| By DANIEL HALPER Chelsea Clinton's husband is reportedly closing his Greek hedge fund. The news from Marc Mezvinsky comes after the fund is said to have lost 90 percent of its value. "It was a hedge fund portfolio pitched by Hillary Clinton's son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky, as an opportunity to bet on a Greek economic revival," the New York Times reports. "Now, two years later, the Greece-focused fund is shutting down, after losing nearly 90 percent of its value, according to two investors with direct knowledge of the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity "Investors were told last month that the fund would close. The fund, Eaglevale Hellenic Opportunity, had raised $25 million from investors to buy Greek bank stocks and government debt. "Eaglevale Partners, a Manhattan hedge fund firm founded by Mr. Mezvinsky and two former Goldman Sachs colleagues, raised money for the Hellenic fund at a time when some on Wall Street had hopes for a revival in the Greek economy. For a time, Mr. Mezvinsky appeared at hedge fund conferences promoting the Greece investment thesis." The fund failed despite high profile boosters. "Some of the firm's earliest investors were Goldman partners, including Lloyd C. Blankfein, Goldman's chief executive officer, who let Eaglevale use his name in marketing the flagship fund. "It is not clear why Eaglevale waited until this year to close the Hellenic fund, which already had lost about 40 percent of its value by early last year." ry Clinton: Crisis in Greece "a tragedy" Reuters

chickens through their assembly lines at a rate of 140 birds per minute, How do they get those chickens moving that fast, and all in the same direction? And "assembly" line, do they start with the feet and add the body then the wings and beaks and feathers last?

My Mom worked in a poultry processing plant from 1957 till early 1980's. On the line. Pulling goozles and other assorted parts from the chickens as the line of chicken carcasses flashed past her. She often complained that management sped the lines up so fast that workers couldn't keep up. When the plant started, there were government inspectors, actually veterinary doctors, who oversaw the operation. She would talk of days that the plant management would speed up the lines, and the government doctors would pull dozens, hundreds, of chickens they considered inappropriately processed. Pull them off the line and throw them into garbage bins. And management would slow the lines down. The doctors disappeared as the government deregulated everything. I wonder do people in all countries have to take the same salmonella precautions we have to take when handling poultry bought from groceries.
