How much progress have schemes made with GMP equalisation projects over the last two years? John Harney talks to Lauren Ramsey, Associate Partner at Aon, to find out the key insights from Aon's Global Pension Risk Survey and understand how schemes can best navigate the challenges that can arise when completing GMP equalisation. The data and analytics from our recent survey are now available here. We would be happy to talk to you about the findings, and to put them into context for your own pension scheme. We can also help you to understand where you need to take action to ensure your scheme achieves its target. If you would be interested in receiving a benchmarking report for your scheme, contact your Aon consultant or email us at talktous@aon.com.

2022.06.29 – 0545 – Equalisation, Compressors and De-EssersEqualization – or EQ – is a form of audio processing which allows you (or rather the studio engineer) adjust the volume level of a frequency (or range of frequencies) within a sound. As everyone's voice is different, this can to a certain extent, cure a sound of its imperfections. Compressors control the loudness of the signal by dampening the ‘peaks' such as ‘puh' and ‘tuh' sounds in words, laughs, and particular ambient sounds. Compression is a complex process, and there are multiple parameters that you can adjust, but overall it can make a vocal sound fuller, tighter, and more well-defined. De-essers reduce the sibilance (the frequency made by ‘ess', ‘t', ‘shh') in a vocal recording. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The mouthfill technique is an advanced method of equalisation that allows the freediver to dive much deeper than they might be able to achieve without it. On today's episode we invite some leading freediving athletes, coaches and educators to share their experiences on using and teaching the mouthfill technique. We explore the nuances of this complex technique and the different approaches to its utilisation. Joining us today: Aharon Solomons, Federico Mana, Andrea Zuccari, Sara Campbell, Marco Nones, Julia Mouce and Enchante Gallardo.

If you've been paying attention to the discussion about equalising the distances in men's and women's cross country then you will know that the debate is quite polarised. I was interested to discuss the subject with women's athletics historian, Katie Holmes. We were coming from slightly different standpoints but highlighted the arguments from both sides. I also have a story about a woman beating all the men in the field It was also the Kenyan National Cross Country Championships this weekend so I took a look at the results.

Growing up, she spent summers on the lake and winters in the pool, becoming certified in lifesaving, rescue, and swimming instruction. As an adult, shedabbled in many activities, including martial arts, circus, and running, but none of them stuck. She eventually took up scuba diving and fell in love with the sea, which led her to leave the chilly prairies and a career in design and communications behind. Her search for sunny weather and good diving brought her to Utila, Honduras, where she enrolled in a beginner freediving course—and got completely hooked!A few years (and a couple of skipped flights) later, Sheena is an Apnea Total Master Instructor and AIDA Instructor who has helped hundreds of students of all levels discover their aquatic potential. Strong and tireless in the water, she has also served as a primary safety diver during the 2017 AIDA World Depth Championships.The 2018 Caribbean Cup International Freediving Competition was Sheena's first foray into competitive freediving. During the Cup, she broke the long-standing Canadian national record in Free Immersion—twice! With big smiles and a lot of laughter, Sheena became the Female Overall Winner of the Cup.This experience motivated Sheena to continue competing. To date, she has set five national records and one continental record in Free Immersion (FIM), two continental records in Constant Weight with a monofin (CWT), and one national record in Constant Weight with bi-fins (CWTB).While she loves the challenge of diving deep, Sheena believes that freediving is firstly about enjoying your time underwater, be it on the line, in the pool, or on the reef, and she strives to share this mindset—and plenty of smiles—with fellow divers. In this episode we discuss:The Canadian ladies are getting deep!Sheena is from Edmonton, Alberta in Canada.Sheena has a background in martial arts.Sheena discovered freediving while on Utila for scuba diving.Initial sinus problems and a long road to master equalisation.Equalisation is the best problem a freediver can have!The best times in Sheena's career so far.A learning experience at the Caribbean Cup with a first samba and blackout.Great experiences in Dominica.The potential benefits of a structured training programme.The true motivation for doing this sport.Thoughts on nutrition.Supplementary training for freediving.Sheena's discovery and development of BTV (hands-free) equalisation.Article on hands-free equalisation.Has Sheena had any experiences with barotrauma?Sheena's recommended books are In Oceans Deep by Bill Streever and Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.Shout-outs to important people.Why does Sheena freedive?

Hot topics taken from the Global Pensions Risk Survey, in this episode we look at GMP Equalisation

Rachel Pinto, Pensions Partner, Herbert Smith Freehills discusses the implications of GMP equalisation for bulk annuity transactions with Uzma Nazir, Head of Origination Structuring, Pension Insurance Corporation. In the discussion, Uzma shares her views on: - how insurers are approaching the issue of GMP equalisation - how GMP equalisation and the different implementation methodologies may impact insurers' pricing - the potential benefits of GMP conversion, and - whether GMP equalisation is causing difficulties for bulk annuity transactions that are currently in progress.

The post Episode 10: GMP Equalisation: Implications for Trustees appeared first on Wedlake Bell.

For many years, the pensions industry has deliberated whether guaranteed minimum pensions had to be equalised between male and female members and, if so, how. In the latest edition of our pensions podcast series, the team considers the recent Lloyds Banking Group judgment, which confirms that equalisation must be carried out - but the issue remains complex, with many unanswered questions.

Discrimination: Sex Key Points This note is primarily focussed on the sex discrimination issues which have arisen in relation to occupational pension schemes (rather than personal pension schemes), because this is where most of the sex discriminatory practices have been identified. The Equality Act 2010 (the "Act") applies to both employers participating in occupational pension schemes and the trustees of such schemes. The Equality Act 2010 also inserts an overriding non-discrimination rule into occupational pension schemes if they do not already contain such a provision. Under the Act, persons (including trustees of pension schemes) are prevented from directly or indirectly discriminating, victimising or harassing someone because of their sex. The key cases of Barber v Guardian Royal Exchange and Coloroll Pension Trustees Limited v Russell established that pension schemes had to equalise pension benefits between men and women, with effect from 17 May 1990 (i.e. the date of Barber decision), and outlined how they should equalise them. Specifically, men and women were required from this date to build up benefits by reference to the same normal retirement age ("NRA"). Before this, women typically had an NRA of 60 and men an NRD of 65. This difference in NRA meant that, in broad terms, men were required to work for longer than women in order to build up an equivalent pension. Many pension schemes have a gap between the 17 May 1990 (when they were legally required to equalise benefits for both sexes) and the date that a legally valid equalisation of the pension benefits was actually effected. This is known as a 'Barber window'. The main reason many schemes have a 'Barber window' is because there was a lack of clarity for a number of years as to how pension schemes were required to validly equalise. Equalisation of Guaranteed Minimum Pensions ("GMPs") was not addressed in the Barber case and remains a difficult area. Much of the case law and legislation referred to in this note involves European directives and rulings by the European courts. The requirement to equalise pension benefits between the sexes it is not expected to materially change following the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. Discrimination: Marital and Civil Partnership status Key Points The Equality Act 2010 (the "Act") applies to both employers participating in occupational pension schemes and the trustees of such schemes. The Act also inserts an overriding non-discrimination rule into occupational pension schemes if they do not already contain such a provision. Under the Act, persons (including trustees of pension schemes) are prevented from directly or indirectly discriminating or victimising someone because the individual is married or a civil partner. Harassment protection does not apply in relation to marital or civil partnership status. Same-sex partners have a right to any dependents’ pensions provided by pension schemes once they enter into a civil partnership or marry. An exemption allows pension schemes to restrict this right to benefits that accrued from 5 December 2005 (i.e. when legislation permitting civil partnerships came into force). The exemption was the subject of a government review published in June 2014. The government is yet to make a final decision on any legislative changes to the exemption.

EQ is short for equalisation (American: equalization). A bunch of audio frequencies you can adjust to improve or degrade sound quality. I can enhance a poor quality voice over by increasing or taking away different EQ bands to improve clarity or eliminate a background noise. The main EQ bands are high range, mid range and low range. Radio imaging producers use EQ to get voices to really pop out of music and sound effects.
