Regulating the Regulator: The FCA and the Collapse of London Capital & Finance By Rhys Rosser
The world of 'mini-bonds' is one which has not found itself in the limelight before. That changed in January of last year when London Capital & Finance entered into administration leaving over 11,500 investors out of pocket. The estimated loss so far is around £236m.
One of the unexpected consequences of the collapse is the scrutiny that the Financial Conduct Authority has faced for their role, or lack thereof. The 'mini-bond' product is largely unregulated; they are very different to Corporate/Institutional bonds due to both their size (with trading starting at around £1,000), and the absence of any need for rating. They are also different to retail bonds as they are not tradable; mini-bonds are held to maturity regardless of the performance of the underlying company. This means that the safeguards offered by rating companies such as Fitch and Standard & Poors is worryingly absent.
The lack of regulation allowed London Capital & Finance to promise returns of between 6.5% and 8%. The mini-bond was available in the Innovative Finance ISA wrapper, approved by HMRC, and London Capital & Finance was regulated by the FCA. This led to investors feeling that their funds would be safe. When one considers where the funds went, such as on a £58m commission payment to Surge Financial (Oil Exploration in the Faroe Islands) and a private Helicopter, the financial returns were clearly a myth and the confidence of investors was misplaced. One can draw similarities between the structure of London Capital & Finance and the Collateralised Debt Obligations that led to the downfall of Lehman Brothers in 2008.
The impact is already starting to be apparent with Junior Finance Minister John Glen writing to lawmakers, stating that there will be a consideration as to whether the current regulatory regime for these securities issued by companies to consumers is appropriate. The SFO, working closely with the FCA, are also taking a very close interest in London Capital & Finance's conduct, with five individuals already arrested and released under investigation including Paul Careless: the founder of 'Surge Financial' that marketed the mini-bonds to investors and who took the commission referred to above.
The more striking effect may well end up being that on the FCA. Serious concerns have been raised over the fact that the FCA had been warned about the activities of London Capital & Finance as early as 2015. Neil Liversidge, a financial advisor based in Yorkshire who had become aware of London Capital & Finance through a client, had written to the FCA warning them about the safety and promotion of the bonds as investments, stating that the bonds were worth "the square root of bugger all" and that the investment was unsuitable. Despite this warning, no action was taken until a month before the collapse when the FCA warned London Capital & Finance to withdraw their marketing as it appeared misleading. It took until 13th December 2019 for the FCA to freeze assets due to concerns about the running of the business.
An investigation has now been ordered by the Government and is well underway. The investigation is being led by Dame Elizabeth Gloster and is expected to focus on what led to the FCA's failure to act and the changes that ought to be made in light of this. The investigation will also consider the regulation of mini-bonds and the associated marketing that was permitted.
The current guidance on the FCA regulation of mini-bonds is limited to say the least. This is partly because they represent such a small volume, individually, of trades and investments that they have not posed any serious issue. The main rule change will likely relate to the 'packaging' of unregulated products in a regulated form; this will result in much greater scrutiny of what forms the makeup of a product. It is doubtful whether we will see the introduction of ratings, simply due to the sheer level of resources required to manage such an exercise.
The FCA have already taken some steps by issuing advice to investors on the nature of mini-bonds and the need to seek investment advice, and the internal and external reviews may result in changes to the regulatory landscape. The consequences may also be far reaching for products such as P2P lending and e-currencies (particularly in light of Facebook's recent launch of 'Libra' currency). There have been concerns since the rise of Blockchain over the high volatility of the trading price and the absence of any physical asset that underlies the transaction. If Blockchain's value were to crash, there would be no asset offering any form of security. There are further similarities between mini-bonds and e-currencies due to their accessibility, which means that 'residential' investors are able to gain profits or make losses.
Whilst there has been no clear indication as to what changes are being considered, the reviews may well result in the introduction of regulations as to the providers of trading platforms, in addition to requirements of the products themselves. These may not only be financial, but also consider the security of the platforms' technology, both in respect of the hardware and software on which they operate.
It is worth noting that the only previous inquiry that was carried out into the FCA was when the FCA subjected itself to an independent external investigation following the Co-operative Bank scandal. This led to a review of the prudential supervision of the Co-operative Bank, by the FSA, between 2008 and 2013. This had far reaching consequences which were preceded by the establishment of the Prudential Regulation Authority ("PRA"), which the investigation ultimately recommended. It may be that the FCA takes a similar step following this investigation, by introducing an 'Innovative Finance Regulator' which would deal with those products which are driven by the technological changes of the past 20 years.
Beyond the FCA, HMRC's decision to grant ISA status will likely come into question. Administrators considering London Capital & Finance have already stated that they view the qualification process as having "fairly limited" requirements and that the application process is "not rigorous". There may well be wholesale changes that follow, both in the way that ISAs are initially considered for qualification and how they are reviewed on a continuing basis. The exact nature of this remains to be seen, but it may well be that metrics which operate in a similar way to Risk Weighted Assets (i.e. the value of an asset balanced against the risk of such an asset) are introduced.
12 months on, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme ("FSCS") declared on 9th January 2020 that London Capital & Finance had 'failed'. As of 17th February 2020, a total of just under £2.7m had been paid by the FSCS to consumers. This is scant compensation for those customers who invested prior to LCF being authorised to carry out financial services business.
The FCA meanwhile have provided a limited update. They confirm they are continuing to investigate alongside the SFO ensuring that all reasonable lines of enquiry are being pursued. This clearly provides limited comfort to both investors and those with an interest in the future legislative scheme for alternate financial products.

Do you ever have those times when you think of a blog idea and then that wise voice inside your heads say, "Uh, bad idea…better not."? But the idea nags and nags and eventually you find yourself at your laptop typing it out in spite of the wise voice? That would be this post.
I've been hearing a lot lately about righteous anger. And I'm a little tired of it to be honest. I understand where Christians get this from. Ephesians 4:25 says (quoting Ps.4), "Be angry and do not sin: do not let the sun go down on your anger." And so you hear often about how you can be angry and not sin and I even heard today how sometimes we are commanded to be angry. People will use Christ as an example and talk about how he cleansed the temple and how God gets angry.
I find it really interesting that immediately after saying, "Be angry and do not sin" the Bible warns us that anger gives the devil an opportunity in our lives. It further tells us to put anger and bitterness away from us and to be tenderhearted (not an American trait for sure) to each other.
That being said, I really do understand what believers mean by righteous anger. Being angry at the things that anger and grieve Christ. But I think we use it as an excuse WAY too often. Anger can easily lead to sin and bitterness which is why Ephesians says that all anger should be put to rest at night.
Why all the angry talk? Most of my good friends have been really angry recently. New York's decision to allow abortions up to birth has blown fuses in believers around the country. And they haven't been shy about expressing it.
Before I continue, let me outright declare that I am pro-life. I despise abortion and it kills me to no end. I volunteer with my local pregnancy center. I believe all life is God-given, is precious, and worth fighting for.
But I DO NOT believe in hating those that believe otherwise. I have been utterly shocked by my friends' responses to New York. The sarcasm, bitterness, and rage has been rampant on social media. A good friend of mine commented on Facebook about a New York senator, "There will be a place in HELL for you!" and I sat there in shame as I read it.
This is not righteous anger. This is rage leading to sin. This is hatred and bitterness, all of which the Bible clearly condemn. How we have responded to this event tells unbelievers whether there is hope in the church (and in Christ!) for them or not.
Hello, New York. Hello, abortion-minded women. Hello, post-abortive women. Hello, men that have been hurt by abortion. My name is Kimmy. I am a believer in Christ and I stand on the truth of his Word. I am pro-life and therefore I believe every. single. life. is precious. You might not agree. You might be hurting from a decision made in your past or you might be contemplating a big one right now. Whatever the case is, YOU need Christ as much as I need him. He gives the hope and life that you are so desperately missing. And I am sorry if Christians have ever made you feel unwelcome. You are welcome here, with me. Let's talk.
My Sunday School class has been doing an in depth study on the conscience recently. Which is fascinating- I don't think I've ever really studied it before. We've talked about things your conscience can be, things it can do, how it can be misguided or aligned to truth. And all throughout the study, one particular topic keeps coming to my mind. Rarely does politics ever enter the stage of this blog, so here goes.
Last election, I did not vote for Trump. Now before all my conservative, Republican friends whip out their phones to call my parents and ask what kind of daughter they raised and all my Democrat friends starting cheering, ya might want to hold your horses. The reason I determined, after much thought and prayer, that I couldn't vote for him, was a matter of conscience for me. It literally would have gone against my conscience to do so. Now I completely understand that is NOT the case for everyone and, while I challenged my friends to think about it, I cheerfully told them that if their conscience allowed them to vote for Trump, then go for it!
I did not vote for Clinton either. I did the unpardonable sin (apparently) in the voting world and I voted third party. Actually I did worse- I did a write in because the candidate I wanted to vote for was not on the ballot in my state. But I did it with a completely clear conscience. And yes, I heard every single argument about how that is wasting your vote and not being a good citizen and all that. Can I just say I have actually never felt as "persecuted" (I hesitate to use that word) in my whole life for a choice based on faith as I did during that time? And all the mocking was actually coming from believers and close friends of mine. Many times it brought me to tears. Really sad. Please don't ever make fun of someone who is honestly doing something out of conscientiousness. Even if you think they are misguided. Come alongside them and talk things through, but don't mock them.
-Do you talk more about the president or about Jesus?
-Do you get more upset/offended when someone talks trash about your favorite politician or when someone misuses God's name?
-Are you more more passionate about your gun rights or loving others with different opinions?
-Would you be more upset if someone came to take your gun away or your Bible away?
-Do you brag more about our country or about our Lord?
-What would your FaceBook/Instagram show?
These are just a few of things that I've thought through myself that determine where my heart is at. Yes, I am thankful to live in America. It is a blessing. But I am a believer in Christ FIRST and my heart belongs to him above everything else.
As usual, feel free to share your thoughts, but if you are going to rant, it probably won't ever appear in the comments. 🙂 Weird how that works, huh?

World Series of Poker not likely to see sports bettors
Jul 10, 2012 3:03 AM
Ted Sevransky
Even the sharpest bettors in the world don't spend 100% of their time focusing on sports. This week in particular is arguably the lightest sports betting week of the entire year.
However, in the four decades since its inception, the WSOP has grown from a tiny tournament attracting only a small handful of bettors into the modern behemoth at the Rio. It's a true spectacle even for seasoned pros. The 2012 edition features a whopping 61 different bracelet events over a more than six week span.
This week's article discusses how the sharpest sports bettors in the world approach the WSOP, and what makes the Main Event so special compared to any of the other bracelet tourneys.
I've written before about some of the similarities and differences between poker and sports betting, so I don't intend to re-hash that here. But there is a fairly wide gap between the mentality of the typical professional sports bettor and the typical tournament poker player that merits some discussion.
By definition, professional sports bettors understand the concept of value. Sports bettors understand a significant portion of the profits they make come from what poker players would call "grinding" – slowly, methodically looking for small mathematical edges with their wagers.
For example, sports bettors look to be on the right side of a high percentage of line moves, gladly laying six points in a game they expect to close (and their numbers show) in the range of -8.
Sports bettors can and do look for longshot scores, but only as a small percentage of their overall portfolio. You'll see an occasional 10-team parlay from a Vegas Wiseguy, but only in a situation when the parlay card offers a real overlay compared to straight bets.
Tournament poker players, on the other hand, are constantly seeking that longshot score; looking to turn a relatively small investment into a six or seven figure payday in just a few days. Not to say there aren't legitimate overlays in the poker world as well – particularly in the Main Event. For WSOP events, every player knows they'll have to be extremely lucky as well as extremely good in order to cash big.
The WSOP offers numerous non-bracelet events every day in addition to the major tournaments. The smallest buy-in for a bracelet tournament is $1,000, but many professionals eschew those smaller buy-in events, focusing instead on the smaller buy-in, non-bracelet events on a daily basis throughout late spring and early summer. Here's why:
In a $1,000 bracelet event last Wednesday 4,620 people signed up. The ninth place winner needed to wade through all of those people, all the potential bad beats and incorrect decisions to reach the final table. The payday for four days worth of hard work was just over $53,800.
With only $3,000 in starting chips, facing blinds and antes that rise every hour, players faced a Herculean task. They were forced to make moves early and often throughout the event, as opposed to "grinding it out" or waiting for the rare "I flopped the nuts and I've got two callers" type of situation.
On the same day (like they do every day), the WSOP offered a "deep stack" tournament with a $235 buy-in (along with other deep stack tourneys with even smaller buy-ins). The levels are shorter, only 30 minutes long, but players start with $15,000 in chips, offering more time and frankly, more play for their money. Some 1,700 players signed up for the $235 deep stack, and the first place winner earned approximately $60K.
As a group, professional sports bettors are much more likely to play in the smaller buy-in, deep stack events than the smaller buy-in bracelet events. For the pros, it's not about ego and bracelets; it's about positive expectation opportunities. With a relatively weak field in the deep stack tourney's, and the opportunity to cash in for a similar score 16 hours later, it's a no-brainer which tournament opportunity sports bettors prefer.
And it's not just sports bettors who have this mentality. I recently witnessed a $110 buy-in event with a WSOP Main Event Champion from this century, a guy who became an instant multi-millionaire (who asked not to be named in this article). He played in this small buy-in tournament not because he was broke, but because he preferred the deep stack structure it offered.
The former champ said he had only played in half a dozen bracelet events this year, concentrating on events with that rare combo of relatively weaker fields and relatively high buy-in's. He scoffed at the idea of playing a $1k bracelet event: "You get no play for your money."
There's also a different mentality between sports bettors and poker players when it comes to running bad early. There isn't a serious sports bettor in the world who hasn't started out on an NFL Sunday by going 0-3 in the early games on occasion.
The mentality of those bettors isn't panic – they're grinders. They'll have the opportunity to win their money back in the late start games, or the Sunday Night game or the Monday Night game, or even next week, next month or next season.
Poker pros tend to have a very different mentality for smaller buy-in events. If they lose their first three hands in an event, dropping half their stack in the process, you'll often see a win or go home approach very early in the event.
Rather than slowly grinding their way back to an average stack size, these players tend to get the rest of their chips into a pot rather quickly. With so many tournaments taking place every day, their thought process is to build up a stack or move on to the next opportunity for a big score.
The Main Event is a very different story. Besides the instant fame and celebrity the November Nine final table participants receive, the Main Event pays out more players than some bracelet events have in their entire field. And there is no "micro" payout in the Main Event.
Last year, each of the 693 players who cashed received a bankroll boost of at least $19,359 – the type of payout that is a very good day even for many professional sports bettors. Eight of the nine players who were good enough and lucky enough to reach the Final Table cashed out with a million dollars or more.
In addition, the Main Event field is as weak as any in the entire WSOP. Rich guys like to play this event – athletes, actors, celebrities and just your run of the mill multi-millionaires. There are thousands of amateurs who manage to win their way into the event, via the bevy of "satellites" (smaller buy-in tournaments) here in Vegas, in the offshore poker world and in local clubs and casinos around the globe.
While amateurs can and do reach final tables and even win the Main Event on occasion (Chris Moneymaker and Jeremy Gold stand out in that regard over the past decade), in general, there is an enormous amount of "dead money" in the Main Event.
That gives professional tournament players and sharp sports bettors who understand the mathematical aspects of poker a huge edge in the Main Event. But even the best pros don't always pony up the full $10,000 buy-in for this chance at riches and glory.
They'll often sell off pieces of themselves to investors. The best players can "sell off" enough to get a virtual free-roll. Indeed, there are players who are good enough to get investors to spring for their entire buy-in for only 70-80% of the total payout, should they find a way to cash.
Sports bettors who play in the Main Event don't generally get offered that level of return if they sell off their entire buy-in – only the top pros receive the best opportunities. But sports bettors tend to hedge quite a bit in these events, buying pieces of other players while selling pieces of their own tourney. That keeps the grinder mentality alive and well, offering a much higher probability of at least some small return on their investment.

The use of CRM is often a sales rep's least prioritized activity. Your sales reps may be putting their sales reporting off until the end of the week or until they have free time, while your sales manager struggles to find the data they need to make decisions.
The CRM outlook is improving, however, with the introduction of mobile apps. Sales reps are no longer required to spend tedious hours updating sales reporting fields on a computer, but instead can quickly enter information in the minutes following a sales meeting.
Another factor affecting CRM outlook is the preference for a user-friendly system over other considerations like stability and security. No matter how secure a CRM tool is, for instance, it is a wasted investment if the sales reps find it too cumbersome to use. CRM software is increasingly easier to use, making it possible for sales reps to enter information within 30 seconds and for sales managers to receive it within 60 seconds.
Get your sales team involved in defining the objectives for a CRM tool. Many sales management teams make the mistake of choosing a CRM tool and then trying to make it meet their needs. Instead, talk with your sales team about what tools are most needed and then choose a system based on your priorities.
Keep your sales team involved. Your CRM outlook is improved when your sales team has buy-in on the CRM app you use. Sales teams should be involved for design, training and implementation to make sure that they feel like they have had an active role in choosing the tool.
Prioritize the usability of the CRM app you choose. Every function in your CRM should be completed within three clicks. You should choose only the fields that you use in reporting and forecasting and leave the rest out of your sales reporting process. Views can be customized for each sales rep, but be sure to clean up the areas that are only used in your finance department, for example.
Keep making adjustments. You will want to continually improve the measures that you use for sales reporting and improve the process for your sales reps. You may want to turn features on and off for reporting to see how your sales process is affected by various activities.
Make sure your CRM tools are benefiting your sales reps. Train your sales reps in how to maximize the benefits of your CRM, and talk with them about which features they most use. They may have complaints about certain features that can be related to your software company for improvements.
If your company is considering the ways that mobile CRM apps can launch your sales growth, give Front Row Solutions a call. We can customize the features and sales reporting tools in our CRM to help you refine your sales process and help your sales reps grow their territories.

As reported by the Grocery Trader last month, award-winning Indian food brand, Geeta's has enjoyed a 4.4% increase in chutney sales this year, against a market decline of 2%, with particularly strong growth recorded for its flagship Premium Mango Chutney.
"The increased demand for premium products in the grocery market, illustrated by the above average performance of Waitrose and M&S food, has been reflected in some categories within World Foods, including Indian", says Sally Campbell, Geeta's Category Manager. "We have a fiercely loyal consumer base for our flagship product, Geeta's Premium Mango Chutney, which has been established in the UK for over 20 years and become a heritage product".
Geeta's chutneys and pickles are made in India and as consumer demand for real authenticity and provenance has continued to build, the company has seen an increase in demand for the products. "Our distributors help tailor the range to fit each store's consumer base", says Campbell "Geeta's Mango & Chilli Chutney is now our no. 2 line, ahead of Lime & Chilli Chutney, in line with the ongoing trend for spicier flavours. We predict that traditional Indian varieties such as Tamarind Chutney and Lime Pickle, and new twists on the market-leading Premium Mango e.g. Pomegranate and Mango will grow in 2017".
In 2017 Geeta's plans to further increase brand awareness, and will focus on increasing distribution for it's distinct range of Indian curry pastes, cooking sauces, spice mixes and new cooking sauce kits, all of which feature the vibrant turquoise packaging, instantly recognisable as Geeta's and giving strong shelf stand-out.
Meal kits are an established feature in some ethnic cuisines e.g. Mexican and Thai, and are beginning to see growth in other areas, such as Indian, where traditional cook-in sauces have stagnated in recent years. Indian meal kits are valued at £2.8m, with value predicted to be over £10m by 2018.

When a group of kids get together to form a team, nothing motivates them more than having the proper gear and uniforms. This is the case in Chan Pine Ridge. The students of the Chan Pine Ridge Gov't School are rated among the best upcoming athletes in the Orange Walk District.
This school boasts one of the best volleyball and football teams in Orange Walk but what they possess in talent they lack in resources. They are in dire need of sports jerseys and equipment and this need was conveyed to the area representative who didn't hesitate to respond.
On Wednesday May 3, Hon. Elodio Aragon visited the Chan Pine Ridge Government School laden with goodies for the young athletes. These gifts included uniforms for the teams and also footballs. These were well received as the kids expressed their gratitude to the Honorable Aragon for his kind gesture.
"It warms my heart in a special way, and I am overjoyed to know that I can impact your lives in a positive way. This encourages me to continue assisting you – our greatest assets – our children – our future." remarked Honorable Aragon.
Aragon has contributed significantly to the development of sports in Orange Walk as he is of the belief that sports is a surefire way to stem criminality in any community.

Is Jeep Compass good for long drive?
Is the Jeep Compass a decent choice for extended road trips? Despite significant technical investments, a cutting-edge suspension system, and the use of high-quality materials, the Jeep Compass does not provide a particularly comfortable ride.

Furthermore, the Compass offers two rows of seats that are both comfortable and well-designed, as well as an intuitive entertainment system.
Which Jeep is best for long drive?
The Jeep Compass is a terrific choice if you require a bigger Jeep for long road trips and are on a budget. Despite the fact that it has greater storage room than the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, it is still capable of going off-road with relative ease. Its design makes it a suitable long-distance and camping vehicle, with features that are both entertaining and useful in their own right.
Is Jeep Compass a good SUV?
Is the Jeep Compass a Good SUV to Buy or Not? The Jeep Compass is a competent but unexceptional small SUV. Aside from having below-average fuel efficiency ratings, one of the shortest load capacities in the class, and fewer basic safety features than many competitors, this tiny crossover has a number of other flaws. However, there are some positive aspects about this car.

Q: Split Date from .CSV file: 1/16/2016 to Year: 2016, Day: 16, Month: 1 I have a .csv file that contains columns: NAME, DATE, INFO, STATS, MORE_INFO
I want to import the .csv file (either with Python 3.6 code, or Pandas)
Then I need to filter the columns: NAME, DATE, INFO
Here's where I am having trouble, I need to take the 'DATE' column of my .csv file which lists a date as 1/16/2016 and separate it so I can select only the MONTH for my filtered .csv output file.
My final columns to read like NAME, MONTH, INFO
The entire 'DATE' column is split by two years - 2016 and 2017. I need to take the NAME, MONTH, INFO for 2016 and save it to a new .csv file, and the same thing for 2017 so each year is separated by grouped months.
averageData = pd.read_csv('Data.csv', sep = ',', parse_dates=True)
df1 = averageData.loc[:, ["DATE", "NAME", "INFO"]]
df1["DATE"] = pd.to_datetime(df1["DATE"])
stripdate = datetime.datetime.strptime(['01-01-2016'], '%Y-%m-%d')

The variable stripdate where datetime.datetime.strptime() is supposed to rearrange the date in the right format is where I am misunderstanding something. How do I just group everything by MONTH of the dates listed under the 'DATE' column from my .csv file. Then further group them by year in new .csv files?

A: import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'date':['01-16-2016','06-24-2016','04-30-2016','07-09-2016','03-21-2017','01-13-2017'],'Parameter':[10,420,60,10,21,33]})

df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'], format='%m-%d-%Y')

If you would like to add columns to your data with Year: 2016, Day: 16, Month: 1, then try:
df['Year'] = df['date'].dt.year
df['Month'] = df['date'].dt.month
df['Day'] = df['date'].dt.day

After that, you can locate dataframes based on year and save to csv.
df.loc[df['Year'] == 2016].to_csv('2016.csv')

If you would like to group your data per month:
df=df.set_index('date')
df1=df.resample("M").sum() # Mean is another option.

or
df1 = df.groupby(pd.TimeGrouper("M")).sum()

I have something very exciting to share today. Over the past nine months I have been planning my second European trip and today the adventure begins.
Since deciding on the destinations, France, Italy and Switzerland, I have been drawn to anything relating to these places and a 30 page itinerary in very small font is what I have to show for my curiosity!
I came across these dreamlike images by Jessica Backhaus , a photographer from Germany, and just had to share them with you. These photographic reflections are part of a series called 'I wanted to see the World.' The images are reflections of the canals of Venice and Burano which are unlike any I have ever seen before. They are so far from the typical canal images you generally see of Venice that I was instantly intrigued.
A little while ago, before I found these stunning images, I was walking my grandparent's dog, Bonnie (whom I often babysit), and was mesmerised by the rippling reflections cast in the Bay. It was a clear day and the water was soft and rippled. I caught the reflection of the cliffs and trees, which loomed above, and found the pattern, texture and distortion quite interesting. You can make out the subject but it is not simply given to you. I even posted an image to Instagram . It was the abstract nature of the image that fascinated me.
I am drawn to these unique images through the intense rippled colour, reminiscent of abstract-like paintings.
Currently, I am learning how to use a digital SLR and am looking forward to attempting something similar in Venice and Paris and the Cinque Terre and all the other amazing places I am going to visit!
So I realise I have been very quiet on the blog since beginning, but I intend to bring to you some good content on return from this trip. I have a lot of architecture and landscape touring planned that I think will make for some good content, which I cannot wait to curate and share with you all.
A while ago I went to Darwin to visit a dear friend. During my visit I was lucky enough to take a ride in a helicopter where I was able to experience the landscape from an aerial perspective and take these photographs. Unfortunately I did not get as many clear images as I would have liked but the joy ride was full of dips, dives and sharp turns (I was also desperately trying to catch a glimpse of a croc!).
To me, the first few images of Australia's top end evoke thoughts of a Fred Williams landscape painting. And during the entire ride I was reminded of his work. Fred Williams is my favourite landscape artist and his Australian works represent our vast land in a unique perspective – literally. Fred Williams is perhaps most known for his landscapes where there is no horizon line, where he represents the landscape fully parallel to the picture plane as if seen from the air. A compositional technique also used by Aboriginal Artists.
The undeniably flat land pierced and dotted with trees is so "Australian" and Fred Williams was able to capture such character through abstract markings.
My design professor at university, Prof. Des Smith, introduced me to the Australian artist. He always said that if we were lucky enough to view the top end of Australia from above then we would truly understand Fred Williams' work. He was right.
The last few photos are unlike the work of the artist, however they show the contrast and change in the landscape. The flora around the river is much more dense and vibrant but it quickly disperses into the type of landscape represented in the first photographs.


Name a card, any card. Your opponents are now locked out of that card Meddling Mage-style, and you get a two-mana-off coupon for that card. Sound good?
Think about it for a little while, and you'll realize that for both halves of this card to be relevant, you have to name a card that is in both your deck and your opponent's deck. It also has to have at least two colorless mana in its cost-- it won't help you cast New Prahv Guildmage at all. So name a card... but not just any card.
To maximize the Council's clout, you need to be running it in a mirror match, against another Azorious deck. That means it's effectively sideboard material. Otherwise, when you cast the Council, you pretty much have to choose whether to Meddle or minimize mana. As a Meddler, it's not amazing-- it comes down turn four. Time enough for you to see what your opponent's up to and make an educated guess what you don't want him playing, but also time enough that he may have already played it. It makes a decent enough blocker against an aggro deck, to be sure, but aggro strategies are among the most Meddling-resilient, as they don't hinge their plans on a specific card. As a mana coupon, it still hits the board too late, unless the card you're trying to get a discount on is prohibitively expensive without a Council mandate.
In Limited, I'd only run it if I had somehow snagged three or more copies of something of dubious value, like Armored Transport. Or if I'd somehow cornered the market on Cluestones. Otherwise, it's sideboard material. Oddly specific sideboard material.
I do so love this "late-block hoser" style of design. Not even because of the impact on the metagame, mind you, but because it's getting closer and closer to calling out individual cards by name. I suppose Council of the Absolute isn't going to be addressing Sphinx's Revelation 100% of the time, but it'll be doing so enough to raise hard questions for deck designers (and, for that matter, for R&D). I complain, but the fact is that almost every guild has an X spell, so regardless of which color or colors you may be splashing in your Azorius deck, you can get a significant advantage from this card.
Welcome back readers todays card of the day is a sideboard card through and through. In control mirror matches naming Sphinx's Revelation with this card could provide a potent discount on yours and prevent the opponent from casting a game altering spell. In standard I foresee this card seeing a limited amount of sideboard play as it allows a player to surgically pinpoint a card appearing in both decks that provides a powerful but limited sideboard tool. In other competitive formats modern, legacy and vintage I don't see this card making much of a splash outside of narrow circumstances. In casual and multiplayer this card is near worthless due to the unlikely event you and an opponent have the same cards in your decks and you need to lower the casting cost of the aforementioned card. Otherwise its an overpriced Meddling Mage that has a bit more defense which doesn't warrant its inclusion in the majority of decks.. In limited the chances of this card having an effect are neglible but the solid body could be worthwhile but unexciting also stopping opponent's bomb cards is not irrelevant. Overall an extremely narrow card tailor-made for the sideboard and not as impressive as cards in a similar vein.
Today's card of the day is Council of the Absolute which is a four mana White and Blue 2/4 that has you name a card that isn't a creature or land which then can't be played by opponents and costs two less mana for you to cast. In an Azorius, Bant, or Esper deck this can shut down an opponent's key card or boost your own, but it really shines in a mirror match making it at least a sidedeck choice for many metagames. The prevention effect is versatile enough for maindecking, barring the one-shot benefit it'd give in Commander, and is very likely to see play across formats.
In Limited the chances of the effect working on more than one card in either deck is fairly slim, which weakens it dramatically and in a similar vein to Commander. Alongside a card that sees your opponent's hand or as an accelerator to a card in your hand it has some value, but as a mythic is doesn't compare to most other rares. Not being able to target creatures is crippling in the first game of a match and calling out the opponent's bomb from game one is a gamble at best. It is probably worth playing in an Azorius build for Sealed, though first picking it in Booster depends on what else is in the pack.


During her first week on campus, Sarah Dalgleish visited Kendal at Oberlin for Oberlin College's annual day of service.
"A cool place with amazing people," she thought.
Sarah's interest in Kendal continued to grow, and as she looked for a topic for her Winter Term 2018 project, she decided to combine her interest in radio journalism with older adults.
Ask a roomful of people to describe today's young adults and you're apt to hear words like impatient, entitled, self-centered and fun-focused.
In 2004, the year after Robert Taylor and Ted Nowick moved to Kendal, an Oberlin College professor offered a fall course on death and dying that involved matching first-year students with Kendal community residents. The couple signed up and liked it so much they continue to participate when their schedules permit.
At a recent gathering in Heiser Auditorium, a couple hundred Kendal residents and staff gave Oberlin College President Marvin Krislov a warm welcome and a heartfelt send-off.

Recently I had a chance to ask Mike Olszewski, veteran media personality and author of Radio Daze: Stories from the Front in Cleveland's FM Air Wars, a few questions about what Mr. Jingeling means to Cleveland.
Cleveland Area History: What exactly was it about Mr. Jingeling that made people love him so much?
After a month of Mr. Jingeling segments WEWS would usually have a long-form Mr. Jingeling special and that was always an event. Also, those paper keys were status symbols. It showed you actually interacted with Mr. Jingeling and everyone had one.
CAH: Did you know any of the actors who played Mr. Jingeling? What were they like?
MO: I met Max Ellis as Mr. Jingeling and he was a smiling soft spoken character who made you feel important. He was an adult that spoke to kids like they were equals but also very special. I actually met Earl Keyes a number of times in and out of costume. In real life he was a very kind and funny man with a million stories about early TV at WEWS. But when he was Mr. Jingeling he was dramatic and had a real presence that filled the room. He would become possessed by the power and spirit of Christmas. What these men had in common was their ability to show us a reason to celebrate and offered us memories that would last forever.
CAH: Earl Keyes acquired the rights to the Mr. Jingeling character after Halle's and Higbee's went out of business. Do you think he felt personally responsible for keeping a local tradition alive? Or did he just like being in the spotlight and dressing up?
MO: There is no question that Earl Keyes loved the character and Christmas and it came up in just about every conversation I had with him. I firmly believe he wanted to call attention to the holiday season and the character. There was no Earl Keyes when he put on the costume. He truly became Mr. Jingeling. Remember that Keyes also produced TV segments for other Mr. Jingelings at WEWS. I do believe he thought it was an honor and duty to continue that character. I don't know what he was paid to do it, and frankly, I don't think he did either or if he even cared. Keyes loved Christmas, and kids loved Mr. Jingeling.
CAH: Sometimes children find supposed-to-be-lovable characters a little scary. Was this ever the case with Mr. Jingeling?
MO: I would guess some kids were scared of Mr. Jingeling, but they cry when they sit on Santa's lap, too. The thing was that you saw the same Mr. Jingeling on TV every night and then saw him in person. You were more in awe than fear. He looked weird, but so did Bozo the Clown, Ghoulardi, Barnaby and Woodrow and we all loved them.
CAH: Was there ever the kind of cynicism surrounding Mr. Jingeling that often surrounds other ad-based characters that "sell" to children, such as Ronald McDonald? For instance, was there ever the general feeling that we shouldn't feel so sentimental about an advertising gimmick?
MO: I honestly do not recall anyone criticizing Mr. Jingeling for commercialization. Captain Penny plugged Bosco, Barnaby and Woodrow talked about products and on and on. Mr. Jingeling had toys but he also plugged Christmas and Cleveland....and you got a free key and a balloon when you went to see him!
CAH: People who are new to Cleveland, especially younger people, have never heard of Mr. Jingeling. Why should they know about him? How does knowing about Mr. Jingeling help Generation X/Y Clevelanders understand Baby Boomers a little better? Or is a Christmas elf really just a Christmas elf?
MO: Every city has its unique characters. New York had Officer Joe Bolton, Chicago had Garfield Goose and Bozo, Boston had Major Mudd and on and on. Those were the days when there was very little TV compared to today, and kids now have computers, cell phones, ipods, video games and other stuff to occupy them. But we were the lucky ones to grow up in the times we did! We look at Mr. Jingeling and the others the way Gen Xers would look at the Mario Brothers or Sid and Marty Krofft's creations. Lots of cities had kid show personalities. Cleveland just had the best. We always had the best! If you want to see what the baby boom was all about just look at its popular culture. Movies, comic books, radio, music and, of course, TV. That pretty much tells it all.
Really cool that you got this interview! Do you have any pictures/scans of memoribilia/YouTube clips to share? It would help younger readers and those of us who aren't natives get a better feel for what Mr. Jingeling was all about. In Search of Mr. Jingeling Part 3!

Are you going to the western part of Norway this summer? Why not have a pitstop at Patina café in Evanger near Voss? Here you can enjoy homemade cakes or lunch and have a stroll through their second hand shop. This year you can even stay overnight. They have two lovely apartments for rent. See you there!
Ynskjer deg ein god sommar vidare og hjarteleg velkomen til Evanger ein dag !
