The agreed financial guidelines are annexed to the Financing Agreement(Annexe 4. 02). These impose the following restrictions on the CMSF [Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation] Currency restriction : all investments must be in Canadian dollar assets. Hence non-Canadian dollar assets of Canadian institutions are off limits to the CMSF. Timing restrictions : The CMSF must have at hand at all times short term financial instruments covering 12 months of spending. Also, the average length of investment held must be within one year of predicted spending. No securities shall have a term of more than 12 years as of 1999 except for Government of Canada securities. Finally, in any given year, the next three years of spending must be protected against fluctuating interest rates. 1, record 1, English, - financial%20guidelines

Medical instruments frequently bear the name of their inventor. We didn’t find any important surgeon bearing the name "Bunt". But we found two important surgeons bearing the name "Bunts". We know that in medical eponyms, the possessive form, such as "Bunts’ forceps", often disappears over the years. In this specific case, it seems that the ending "s" of the patronym disappeared and the written forms "Bunt" and "Bunt's"remained. Frank E. Bunts, first president of the Academy of Medicine in Cleveland and one of four co-founders of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and his son Alexander T. Bunts, specilaized in neurosurgery. 6, record 2, English, - Bunt%20forceps%20holder

The Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System(CERES) experiment is one of the highest priority scientific satellite instruments developed for EOS. CERES products include both solar-reflected and Earth-emitted radiation from the top of the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. Cloud properties are determined using simultaneous measurements by other EOS instruments such as the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS). Analyses of the CERES data, which build upon the foundation laid by previous missions such as the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment(ERBE), will lead to a better understanding of the role of clouds and the energy cycle in global climate change. 3, record 4, English, - Clouds%20and%20Earth%26rsquo%3Bs%20Radiant%20Energy%20System
