The Covid-19 Pandemic and the Consumer Staples Sector: A Test of Market Efficiency
On Wednesday March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the covid 19 outbreak a global pandemic (Cucinotta, 2020). How efficient is the consumer staples market reaction to the announcement of a global pandemic? The purpose of this study is to examine the risk adjusted returns on and around the pandemic announcement to test the semi-strong form market efficiency hypothesis using the standard event study methodology in the finance literature. Will returns in the consumer staples industry show larger than expected gains on and surrounding the WHO’s COVID-19 pandemic announcement? The finance literature offers little evidence supporting the link between pandemics and the stock market. The announcement of a pandemic by the WHO should significantly and quickly affect the market. According to Eugene Fama (1970), if the market is semi-strong form efficient, all public information is immediately factored into the market and no investor can use this information to achieve an above normal return when adjusted for risk. To study this relationship, data for the S&P 500 and 10 consumer staples sector firms were collected for the event period surrounding the announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study tests the global pandemic announcement for semi-strong form market efficiency (Bacon &Howell 2021). Evidence here supports the expected positive signal associated with the sample of consumer staples sector firms in reaction to the announcement of the pandemic. Likewise, the study results support the semi-strong form efficient market hypothesis and suggest the possibility of trading on this information up to 15 days prior to the announcement consistent with the behavioral finance literature (Bacon & Howell 2021)

Real time simulation using position sensing
An interactive exercise system including exercise equipment having a resistance system, a speed sensor, a controller that varies the resistance setting of the exercise equipment, and a playback device for playing pre-recorded video and audio. The controller, operating in conjunction with speed information from the speed sensor and terrain information from media table files, dynamically varies the resistance setting of the exercise equipment in order to simulate varying degrees of difficulty while the playback device concurrently plays back the video and audio to create the simulation that the user is exercising in a natural setting such as a real-world exercise course
Mll-AF4 Confers Enhanced Self-Renewal and Lymphoid Potential during a Restricted Window in Development.
MLL-AF4+ infant B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is characterized by an early onset and dismal survival. It initiates before birth, and very little is known about the early stages of the disease's development. Using a conditional Mll-AF4-expressing mouse model in which fusion expression is targeted to the earliest definitive hematopoietic cells generated in the mouse embryo, we demonstrate that Mll-AF4 imparts enhanced B lymphoid potential and increases repopulation and self-renewal capacity during a putative pre-leukemic state. This occurs between embryonic days 12 and 14 and manifests itself most strongly in the lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitor population, thus pointing to a window of opportunity and a potential cell of origin. However, this state alone is insufficient to generate disease, with the mice succumbing to B cell lymphomas only after a long latency. Future analysis of the molecular details of this pre-leukemic state will shed light on additional events required for progression to acute leukemia.Core facilities at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research are supported by Strategic Award WT100140 and equipment grant 093026; core facilities at the Edinburgh MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine are supported by centre grant MR/K017047/1.
