Different approaches to the regulation of new payments technologies is creating confusion and uncertainty for payments companies and consumers within different regions and between countries.
This uncertainty risks impeding innovation and slowing down the acceptance of new systems such as faster payments, or technologies based on open banking initiatives.
The World Payments Report 2018 from CapGemini and BNP Paribas has found significant variations between the regulatory regimes of some regions – even where the goal is to harmonise regulation in that region. While successful regulatory initiatives exist, such as the EU's PSD2 Directive, there are also examples of widespread non-compliance with international regulatory regimes.
One example of variable compliance is the EU's SCT Inst scheme for Faster Payments. SCT Inst aims to facilitate Faster Payments (FP) between European economies and allow for the integration of national FP networks.
Although many national schemes, including those of Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium and the Netherlands are updating their systems to comply with SCT Inst, only 20 percent of the banks in those countries have achieved compliance – a factor which risks impeding faster payments growth across Europe.
According to BNP Paribas and Capgemini, there is an identifiable dynamic between innovation in payments technologies on the one hand, and the attempt to understand and regulate these innovations on the other.
Further complicating the picture is the fact that different regions of the world regulate the same waves of innovation to different levels and with different intent.
To simplify the regulatory landscape for larger corporates and speed up new technology adoption, BNP/Capgemini recommend aligning individual countries' regulatory regimes through the establishment of interoperability standards, while also reducing the number of global and international regulatory initiatives and bodies.
Several Asian markets, including Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, China and Cambodia, have embarked on the harmonisation of those countries' payments standards with a view to improving the systemic efficiency of their markets and safeguarding customers from fraud. This collaborative approach differs from that of the EU, for instance, where standards are typically created centrally then mandated from the centre to individual markets.
The approaches adopted by the US and UK show how a change in emphasis can also affect regulatory outcomes. BNP/Capgemini argue that the UK has successfully emphasised enabling new technologies and innovation via regulatory initiatives such as the FinTech sandbox and the New Payments System Operator initiative.
In the US, by contrast, the focus is on risk reduction and standardisation through AML and financial stability rules. These different approaches have an effect on how rapidly payments innovations are adopted in these economies – although new US regulations for open banking and real-time payments are expected to considerably enhance that country's regulatory flexibility.
To help explain this dynamic, the report's authors have created a graphic showing markets which adopt a "proactive" (i.e. forward-looking) approach to new payments technologies, versus those which react. The graph also demonstrates which markets respond to the need for better regulation before it's required, versus those that respond only when necessary.
The below graph shows both India and China becoming more dynamic in their approach to the regulation of new payments technologies, with Sweden, Singapore, Australia and the UK among those markets most receptive to innovation and new technologies from a regulatory point of view.
Sweden's highly flexible approach may result from its long tradition of non-cash payments, while Brazil's status as a regulatory laggard among major markets stems from that country's attempt to introduce new payments methods on older technology infrastructures.
The biggest challenge for payments arising from this regulatory variation is the time and effort invested in global compliance by the industry – time and effort which, the report argues, diverts resources from focusing on customers and the development of innovative new technologies such as those based on distributed ledger technologies (DLT) or blockchain. (See cover feature, "Out of the Blocks?" page 12).
Finally, this report identifies what it calls "Key Regulatory and Industry Initiatives", or KRIIs, arguing that these can as often be mutually contradictory as they are reinforcing. This happens because intentions overlap, hindering the regulation's clarity and, by extension, the development of the payments ecosystem.
BNP/Capgemini offer examples of where well-considered initiatives can enhance each other – as is the case, they argue, with Europe's PSD2 regulations for open banking and eIDAS for Digital Identification. Taken together, these two sets of regulations help to foster growth in Europe's digital economy.
On the other hand, overlaps in scope can create challenges for everyone. In Europe, the authors identify PSD2 as conflicting with the EU's GDPR legislation, since freeing access to customer data (PSD2) is at odds with the data protection aims of GDPR.
Globally, the study finds regulation relating to crypto-currencies uneven and often conflicting, and points out that this kind of regulation risks reducing clarity in an already poorly-understood area.

With so many social media options available to promote new television programmes, production companies are often spoilt for choice when it comes to finding social platforms to connect with their fans.
It's only to be expected that Facebook and Twitter should be employed in the promotion of products, including TV shows and movies. However, when it comes to the other platforms, Instagram is the clear front-runner for promoting television programmes.
Here we'll look at what the benefits of using Instagram are, how various programmes and production companies are already using the platform, and the kinds of strategies you can employ to make Instagram work for you.
It's worth noting that Instagram is by far the largest photo-sharing platform with 700million daily users, over double that of its closest competitor, Snapchat. Of these, around 68% are female, not a figure to be scoffed at! Instagram also has a predominantly youthful audience with around 60% of under-30s using the platform, while much smaller proportions of age groups over 30 use the app. This is in direct contrast to Facebook and Twitter whose platforms are used by a much more balanced spread of age ranges.
But while Instagram might not have the widest audience, it definitely has one of the biggest. Around 700million people use Instagram compared to only 328million on Twitter. If you can tap into this huge group of people, it's definitely worth it!
Behind-the-scenes content – This can be of huge importance when promoting a television series, especially with ongoing drama, as it provides a bridge to viewers between series of the show, teasing fans with hints about what's to come, while also sharing a sense of fun and camaraderie with the actors and creatives behind the show.
Something different – As Instagram's audience is generally younger than other platforms', there's a huge opportunity for posting quirky and 'unpolished' content to create a sense of fun and immediacy, dispensing with Facebook and Twitter's more professional approach.
Reminders – Poldark uses Instagram is to recap and review the episodes of the series or even specific scenes as they air, providing a community hub for fans of the show to react and share their thoughts on the series. It is worth noting that taking this approach might require occasional reviews of comments and reactions, particularly if an especially divisive episode of the programme has just aired.
Fan engagement – Poldark uses their Instagram account as a call to arms for fans, sharing competitions and encouraging fans to vote for the show when they are nominated for awards. This invites fans to take ownership of the programme and share in its success, as well as promoting the show to a wider audience as fans engage with the Instagram content.
The second example we'll be looking at is the official Instagram account for Game Of Thrones.
Visual Identity – HBO have built up a unique visual identity for their Game Of Thrones' Instagram account. They use their own merchandise (the Funko Pop! line) to inject a sense of fun into their brand, deliberately at odds with the programme's dark tone.
Avoiding Overt Promotion – The Instagram page isn't specifically promotional in its images, instead it is the captions which point viewers towards events associated with the series. This helps fans to engage in the online buzz around the show without putting off a youthful audience who might be wary of advertising gimmicks!
Over the past few years, Netflix has become a huge player in disrupting the television industry. Their use of Instagram to promote their shows has proved just as disruptive.
Showcasing The Fans – While other companies use their Instagram profiles to share their own content, Netflix has shown with their Stranger Things account that it can be just as effective to turn things over to the fans. While their page does, of course, dabble in sharing clips and pictures from the series itself, most of the attention is given to fans' artwork, music, edits, and even memes. Netflix have used the platform to hand their content over the fans, bolstering a real sense of community spirit and enthusiasm around the show.
Building Reach – Encouraging fans to share their work on their personal profiles in the hopes of receiving shares from the official account has other benefits too! As more and more fans share their work on personal accounts the programme's ability to reach new viewers grows and grows.
On the other hand, Netflix's equally massive hit, 13 Reasons Why takes a much more measured, curated approach to Instagram content.
Catching The Eye – As with Poldark, 13 Reasons Why's Instagram account features plenty of clips and behind the scenes content. However 13 Reasons Why has also adopted an eye-catching disruption to the Instagram timeline in the form of video posts designed to look native to the site. This can surprise and intrigue viewers as they scroll down their timelines, preventing them from scrolling past without noticing.
Aimed at a predominantly youthful audience.
Designed with the shows' fans at the heart of their output.
Instagram is a space for fans to have fun with the shows they know and love and see those things in a totally different light.
In contrast to Facebook and Twitter, Instagram viewers are much more unlikely to come across unfamiliar accounts. The followers you gain on Instagram are much more likely to have sought you out for your content.
You don't necessarily have to win over fans on Instagram, they already know and like your show, it's all about giving them even more of what they love in fun, unexpected ways!

Find parking with Pavemint. Whether you need long term airport parking or just a night out for a show, we've got you covered! In this new update, we're introducing some new designs for checking out, creating accounts, and searching. We've also updated bugs relating to creating listings, entering vehicle details, and updating payment methods.
Pavemint takes away a lot of the hassle and headache associated with finding parking in heavily populated areas. You can also find some great deals for long term parking as well. I used to keep my car in one of those large garages near LAX, but now I find that it's a lot cheaper to find a host on Pavemint and then Uber to the airport. Not only is the price for parking very reasonable, you also have peace of mind knowing your car is safely tucked away in a private garage, not just a parking lot where your vehicle is vulnerable to door dings and the hot sun.
We love that you love Pavemint! Our goal is to create the easiest, most convenient parking experience for you. Thank you so much for your words and insight, we truly value you!
I was driving around Venice Beach yesterday looking for parking. Per usual, I couldn't find anything, so I downloaded this app as I remember it being recommended to me as a great parking alternative. Literally in minutes I was able to reserve a spot at a private, covered parking spot. I didn't have to set an alarm for my meter, I didn't have to worry about dropping a pin to remember, and on top of that, it was more affordable than lot parking. This is what we need folks, this is where parking is headed.
This is a phenomenal depiction of what we're all about and we really appreciate the words of kindness and success!
The app is nice to look at and easy to use, but my review really comes down to the quality of the parking spots I was able to find it, especially in West Hollywood, which can be a nightmare. I'm not exactly sure why other apps don't have the same parking spots, but this is clearly the one I will use moving forward.
We aim to please and provide our users with the best experience possible. We truly believe in quality over quantity here at Pavemint and we're so glad that you got to enjoy that firsthand!

Serving parents and a little bit 'Moore'
Mike Probst Editor & Publisher
As I get older I cherish the times with my parents. This past weekend I had another opportunity to be of service to them.
Usually, my wife and I are gone somewhere for our anniversary the first part of December. My schedule didn't permit such a trip this year, so we attended my sister and brother-in-law's Christmas party in New Braunfels this past weekend.
When we got into town we dropped by the nursing home to pick up my parents. They were dressed to the hilt. My mother even demanded that my father use his bulkier "Cadillac" walker.
After barely squeezing my mother's wheelchair and dad's walker in the trunk (the "Cadillac" walker is much bigger) we headed around town for a quick spin to see a few Christmas decorations.
Watching my mom smile, as we passed decorated houses, and the courthouse and gazebo in the traffic circle bathed in bright lights, I caught myself thinking back five-plus decades when I was a kid experiencing the same wonderment.
It's a bit different this change in roles, but I'm so blessed to have the opportunity to still spend time with my mom and dad.
My sister and brother-in-law always hire a good friend who is a piano player, vocalist, and well-known entertainer in New Braunfels.
He sits at my sister's baby grand piano and plays Christmas Carols like no other person I've witnessed.
Sitting back, watching my parents hold hands, and sing as if they were in one of my father's churches years ago, wetted the ol' eyes.
Last year they didn't have the party because of COVID. At the tail end of the February deep freeze, my sister was admitted to the hospital with COVID. My brother-in-law, addressing the crowd about a third of the way into the evening, opened his heart and shared a message about almost losing the love of his life, and recognizing those in attendance who had not been as lucky with their loved ones.
My sister, tears rolling down her face, thanked everyone for being at the party … one she thought might not occur again.
My parents stayed as long as they could, even though that moment came suspiciously close to when the piano man started belting out Billy Joel tunes on the ivories.
My parents know I love Billy Joel music, so we stayed for an extra 15 minutes or so.
There's always one song that ends up being played/sung multiple times each year – Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline."
After it was played the first time, we loaded up my parents' wheels and headed back to the nursing home.
We had to wait a bit for an employee to open the front door, again, a reminder of some of the times when I was a kid and my parents were waiting up for me.
"I got them home by 10:30 as promised," I told the employee who eventually let them in.
Driving home, I flipped through the recordings of my parents' singing, taking it all in through our vehicle's audio system.
I'm not going to say my dad still has "it" at 92, but what I heard was my dad singing in church again.
The saga that began with a verbal altercation between Aransas County Navigation District Commissioner Tommy Moore and me during a recess at the Sept. 7 ACND meeting has come to an end – or maybe not.
Moore filed a bogus complaint against me for assault-physical contact, and I was issued a citation (Class C misdemeanor) Sept. 22 by the Rockport Police Department, which is standard procedure after such a complaint is made.
I pleaded not guilty and asked for a jury trial.
Fast forward to Thursday, Dec. 2, the date of my pre-trial hearing.
It was at that hearing I learned Moore had withdrawn his complaint, via a letter dated Nov. 29.
He said he was withdrawing the complaint because, "It has become apparent that the Rockport Police Department and the City Prosecutor will not hold Mr. Probst responsible for his unlawful actions."
He later said, "I will pursue justice through other available lawful methods."
I have no idea what Moore means, but as far as I'm concerned, his decision to withdraw the complaint says it all.
The Pilot rarely publishes stories about Class C misdemeanors, and the only time I publicly addressed this matter was in my Sept. 29 column.
Moore, on the other hand, was featured in at least two YouTube interviews, one in which he admitted threatening me.
A video clip, apparently from security footage at the ACND office, showed my interaction with Moore. It was provided to a Corpus Christi television station, which aired a report.
This incident never should have gone this far, but unfortunately, it has.
I did not file a complaint against Moore regarding his threat of physical violence because I recognize the situation for what it is.
As I wrote Sept. 29, any elected official or other public figure who makes a real or implied threat will not intimidate me or anyone else at The Pilot. We owe that to our readers and to Aransas County.
I hope this is the end of this saga, but that is in Moore's hands.

The Best Breakfast for Weight Loss, According to Your Lifestyle
We asked the experts to choose the best breakfast for you, no matter what your day looks like.
By Rebecca Strong
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and if you're trying to slim down, that's especially true. The question is, what foods should you be eating to kick-start your day—and your metabolism? Ultimately there really is no one-size-fits-all breakfast. Experts say that your ideal breakfast will largely depend not only on your unique dietary restrictions and preferences, but also on your lifestyle—including your activity level, your work schedule, and other factors as well.
While research has provided conflicting information about the link between breakfast and weight loss, a 2020 study published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism revealed that people who eat a big breakfast (and smaller dinner) may burn twice as many calories as those who eat a small breakfast and larger dinner. Researchers concluded that people who fill up at breakfast can not only reduce their overall body weight but also ward off metabolic diseases.
Breakfast not only helps you to maintain a healthy weight, but it also keeps your appetite in check and supplies your body and brain with energy to carry you through your morning demands. It's also an important opportunity to meet your daily recommended values of certain nutrients.
The truth is, what makes one person feel satisfied at breakfast time might not meet the needs of another. Since there's no one-size-fits-all formula for this meal, we talked to two experts to get their recommendations for a variety of different lifestyles. And for more healthy eating tips, check out our list of 21 Best Healthy Cooking Hacks of All Time.
If you're super active or have a physically demanding job.
Mitch Mandel and Thomas MacDonald
Whether your work is physically taxing or you regularly engage in high-intensity exercise, experts say that it's important to opt for a breakfast that contains both protein and carbs—protein will help you to rebuild muscle from the day before, while carbohydrates build up your storage of glycogen to fuel you through today's physical demands.
"If you're really active but still trying to lose weight, you want to balance controlling your calories while still replenishing your body before or after a workout," says Amanda A. Kostro Miller, RD, LDN, a member of the advisory board for Smart Healthy Living. "Don't be afraid of carbs!"
Sean Allt, a nutrition coach with Innovative Fitness, agrees that someone who's physically active needs more carbs than the average person who's more sedentary.
"Slow-digesting carbs like whole grains or steel-cut oats are best for you since they help provide a steady supply of energy for hours after consumption, as opposed to the spikes and crashes that come with more refined and sugary carbs," he adds.
Allt suggests making a homemade breakfast sandwich on whole-grain toast, or an omelet with a small side of steel-cut oats. Allt also highly recommends incorporating a serving of vegetables into your breakfast—ideally two different colors at each meal (for example, tomatoes and spinach in the omelet).
If you're a busy mom who's constantly on the go.
Busy moms need a breakfast that will enable them to keep up with the kids—as well as drive them to baseball practice, power through grocery shopping, help them with their homework, and take care of their countless other responsibilities.
"Easy, quick breakfasts would be great for this group," says Miller. "It has to be something that gives them both quick and lasting energy to battle fatigue."
Allt suggests a well-balanced smoothie—which you can sip on while getting the kids ready for school and take on the go while running errands. His go-to recipe includes 1 cup of frozen or fresh fruit, 2 handfuls of greens, 1 to 2 tablespoons of nut butter, 2/3 cup of Greek yogurt (or protein powder with no more than 5 grams of carbs), and 1 cup of low-calorie liquid (like water, iced green tea, or almond milk).
Miller says you can also whip up some oatmeal with nonfat milk (or a non-dairy alternative), and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of nuts or seeds and fresh fruit, or you could even add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt with 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey. Feel free to wash it all down with coffee or tea, too—Miller says there's no shame in a little caffeination given your hectic lifestyle.
If you sit at your desk all day.
Having a desk job can pose many challenges to weight loss—like the temptation to constantly snack at your desk.
"When you're preoccupied with other things (like working away on your computer) it's easy to consume a bunch of extra calories without realizing it if you have food handy," explains Allt.
That's why, even though your job is somewhat sedentary, experts agree that it's still super important to eat enough protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats—as this combination will ensure you feel full up until lunch.
"These nutrients give you sustainable energy to stay focused and will digest slowly throughout the morning," adds Miller.
If you have enough time to cook in the morning, Allt recommends combining scrambled eggs with mixed veggies and 1 tablespoon of guacamole (or avocado) on a whole wheat wrap. Or, if you're more pressed for time in the morning, Miller says you can pack a breakfast power box to take with you to work. While you can definitely customize this option to fit your preferences, Miller proposes including 2 tablespoons of nuts or seeds, one hard-boiled egg, and 1 to 2 servings of fresh fruit for fiber (banana, apple, or 1 cup of blueberries).
Here are 91+ Best Healthy Breakfast Recipes to get you started.
If you rarely get a lunch break.
People who work long days with little break time to eat in the afternoon need a breakfast that will stick with them for as long as possible. According to Miller, the answer is combining protein, fat, fluid, and fiber.
For example: consider a serving of low-fat Greek yogurt (for protein) with chia seeds (for fat and fiber).
Or make oatmeal (for fiber) with low-fat milk (for protein) and 1 to 2 tablespoons of nut butter or nuts (for fat). Then, add a serving of fresh fruit for minimal calories and lots of satiating fiber and fluid.
Feel free to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee with your breakfast, as Miller notes that caffeine can have slight appetite-suppressing effects. Still, she says it can also be dehydrating—so be sure to wash everything down with a large glass of water, which will also help to fill you up.
"If you need a meal that will help you feel satisfied for an exceptionally long period of time, lean protein and healthy fats are your best friends," says Allt. "They are slower to digest than carbs and help keep you feeling full for longer."
Allt's top choice for this lifestyle is a three-egg omelet or tofu scramble with 3-4 ounces of another protein (such as leftover chicken sausage or ground turkey), a couple of handfuls of vegetables, and an additional fat source (like half an avocado or about 15 to 20 grams of cheese).
If you don't have an appetite in the morning.
If you don't have much of an appetite in the morning, Miller says it's fine to hold off on eating until your natural hunger cues in—unless you take prescription medication that you need to take with food. Once you feel ready to eat, she advises making a well-balanced meal that includes 20 to 30 grams of protein, 1 handful of slow-digesting carbs (or 1 slice of whole-grain bread), and a serving of veggies and healthy fats.
However, if you need to have breakfast before work because you know you won't have time to eat for a while, Miller says it's best to opt for something small and easily digestible. For example, you could try a hard-boiled egg with 1 slice of whole-grain toast or 1/2 an avocado, a banana with nut butter, or a veggie and fruit smoothie.
If you work out in the morning.
Whether you like to go for a morning run or you regularly hit an early yoga class at your local gym, it can be difficult to figure out whether you should have breakfast before or after exercising. There's no right or wrong strategy here, but when you choose to eat will inform which foods you should go for.
If you fuel up prior to your workout, Miller advises eating at least 45 minutes to an hour beforehand and making sure your meal consists primarily of easy-to-digest carbs. Ideally, it should be low in fiber as well as fat so you can avoid feeling crampy or gassy during the workout. With that in mind, she suggests an English muffin with a little jam or a fruit smoothie.
"Fruit can be good to eat before you work out," Miller explains. "It contains natural sugars for energy and water to keep you hydrated. If you're sensitive to FODMAPs (plant-based substances that can cause gas and GI symptoms in select people), opt for low-FODMAP fruits like bananas, grapes, blueberries, and raspberries."
On the other hand, if you'd rather wait to eat breakfast after a workout, Miller says your breakfast should be full of foods that can replenish glycogen stores and rebuild damaged muscle fibers. Within 30 to 90 minutes of exercising, your carb-to-protein ratio should be 3:1 or 4:1—so, if you had 20 grams of protein, pair it with 60 to 80 grams of carbs.
"Some people find that they perform at their best on an empty stomach, while others feel that their workouts are lackluster without a decent amount of fuel to get them going in the morning," says Allt. "It's about figuring out what works best for you."
If you're new to exercising in the morning, Allt recommends blending up a well-balanced smoothie (with protein, fruit, veggies, and healthy fats), and sipping half of it before your workout followed by the other half post-workout. You could try one of our 27 Best Immune-Boosting Smoothie Recipes to get you started.
"This is a pretty safe strategy in that it will help prevent the feeling of having zero energy while simultaneously preventing you from feeling weighed down by a full stomach during your workout," he says.

In Search of Milton's Story
A carpenter when about completing a job of work, does what he calls "squaring up," that is, he goes around and fixes up all the "odds and ends" that may require his attention. Now, we do not want our readers to become surfeited with camp meeting news, but we want to do a little "squaring up," and then we shall have done with the camp meeting until another season. On last Sunday, two weeks after the last Sunday of Lavinia's camp, we, as a usual custom, walked out to view the scene where many had been a fortnight before. Alas! how changed. Quiet and desolation reigned around. Our mind was led back to the historical account of the abandoned huts of the five aboriginal tribes of New York[i], in the primitive days of this country. "Carlyle's Description of Desolation in the Arctic," rose before us, and led to a contemplation that was anything but pleasant. There was no claiming of icebergs, no scream of the sea gull, no sly polar bear trying to catch the innocent seal, but there was a solitude peculiarly adapted to this place. The foliage of the trees drooped as though weeping over departed glory, and two little birds chirruped over our head as a doxology to the vision of the past. It is all gone now, yet some of the reminders linger in the memory of many who were there, and who will probably never be there again—this is the aged, and most likely others.
Last week we saw six dogs come from Lavinia's Woods in single file. I turned around to watch them. They were of different sizes, colors, and perhaps nationalities. One was lame, and walked with a limp; another was merely a pup. They were without muzzles; and my impression at first was, they had come without the town limits where they could engage in friendly discourse, "none daring to molest or make them afraid." They continued their way south, and we lost sight of them.
"There is $2 thrown away!" said a man, as he came front the post office with two local papers in his hand. "I get more information from your letter in the MILFORD CIIRONICLE than from all of the papers I take; and I don't see any use of me taking any other."
We saw something last week that led us to think the days were come "when the lion and the lamb shall lie down together, and a little child should lead them." We will not elucidate, as others saw it, also.
It begins to look as though the Lewes Life Insurance agents are getting the better of the Milton agents: they are here every week hustling, while the Milton men are around the branch practicing.
Mrs. Ray lrvin nee Ray Wilkins, formerly of Milton, after spending a week at Lewes, stopped over with Mrs. Emma Johnson, at Milton, on Wednesday evening and returned to her Baltimore home on Thursday.
Mr. Al Thomas left on Thursday for Chicago, where he has the prospect of engaging with the Q. C. R. R. Co.
Peaches on one day of the past week were hauled from the Milton station to Ellendale, on account of no cars to be had.
Col. John Wainwright, pension attorney at Wilmington, was in town on Thursday, and met many old veterans of the Civil War at the office of the Trust, Title, Safe and Deposit Co, for the purpose of having their pensions increased, original ones granted, or reissues made.
Quite a quantity of squared-up lumber is being hauled on the dock, for the purpose of shipment to Camden, N. j., where it will be used for ties along the wharf, and for other purposes.
Clerk-of-the-Peace Wright was in town on Thursday, at which time he issued licenses to the Milton merchants and others requiring the same.
Mr. A. Prettyman and wife, after spending some time with Mrs. Prettyman's parents, Prof. P. P. and Mrs. Atkins, returned to Baltimore on Friday.
Mr. Abel Pettyjohn, of Philadelphia, is visiting his parents as is also Mr. Hollis P. Betts visiting friends.
On Saturday the schooner James A. Carey, of which Charles Mason is captain, and Captain C. H. Atkins owner, was successfully launched at Scull's shipyard. The vessel had been hauled out some time ago and has been overhauled, repainted and re-rigged. She is now considered a first-class vessel.
The Milton shirt factory labors under difficulties on account of the scarcity of employees. Operators and learners are wanted.
Six mail sacks filled with public developments—averaging thirty each—were received at the Milton office last week. Some of these are addressed to persons, living, who will take them from the office and kindle a fire with them. Some of them are addressed to persons who have been dead ten years, and still others to persons whom no one in this township ever heard of. The only use these public documents are in this locality, is to give the postmaster work, as it is presumed that is for what they are intended. "That's the way the money goes!" But what's the difference, "Jones pays the freight."
George Burris, the overseer of the road leading to the saw mill waste gates, has nicely widened the passageway leading to the bridge, and made it possible for teams to pass. It needs to be seen to be admired.
Captain George Bailey and family, of near Seaford, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Bailey, the former's parents.
On Thursday evening Mr. Marvie T. Warrington, and Miss Mamie Dorman, both of Harbeson, were united in wedlock by the Rev. Frank A. Holland. The ceremony was performed at the residence of Mr. Charles B. Davidson, of the same town.
A young man after delivering his girl at Zoar camp last Sunday, yelled out "trout! trout!" He is thought to be a fish dealer.
On account of the dry weather and the sandy condition of the roads, G. W. Atkins left his teams at Queenstown on Friday last and returned home by rail. After transacting needed business in Milton, he returned to Queenstown on Monday to resume his business trip on the Eastern Shore.
Last week the "Argus eyed" town fathers concluded they had more money in the treasury than they could manage; and they decided to haul more dirt on the hill on Federal Street. They went to work and put on the hill, and above, and on the decline, dirt; or more correctly, earth of an argillaceous consistency. Travel, the hot sun, and dry winds, have made of this deposit a powdered mass; and the citizens on Federal Street near this nuisance, are compelled to keep their front screens out, their windows closed, and their shutters shut, to keep this yellow dust from their beds, and from permeating every nook and corner of their habitations. Yet these men who have this work in charge know it all (?).
Dr. W. J. Hearn's launch was removed front Milton to Broadkiln Beach last week.
The evening services at the M. E. Church, which have been held during the summer at 6 o'clock, were discontinued last Sabbath evening. Evening services will hereafter begin at 7.30.
Peaches are about done at Milton.
Tomatoes are now bringing 20 cents and baskets returned to the seller.
One of the tubes of the boiler at Anderson's cannery blew out early on Tuesday morning, necessitating the stoppage of work until it can be replaced.
The utility of the air gun when used by small children was demonstrated on Tuesday, when Walter Crouch's little son sliced a portion of one of his thumbs longitudinally while using one. The wound proved not to be so bad as at first thought, and Dr. J. A. Hopkins soon made it comfortable.
[i] Conner is probably referring to the initial five tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy in New York State: Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and Seneca. A sixth tribe, the Tuscarora, was added to the confederacy later.

Marketing Is Much More than Simply Engaging Popular Celebrities
Content-Marketing, Digital Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Social-Media 社交媒體
Brand Marketing, Divine Intervention, Latest Trends, Marketing Proposals, MIRROR
Every digital advertiser in Hong Kong is willing to concede defeat when faced with the creativity of LIHKG's citizens. Recently, rumors are circulating on TVB about the return of a veteran children's show host. However, this report has not yet been confirmed. Many people have already posted suggestions online. One of the suggestions is to change the tile of the show into "閃電平安鐘", "至叻小人瑞" and "430呼吸機". The public mock TVB's lack of creativity as supposedly new shows turned out to be recycled scripts. If TVB wholeheartedly focuses on a topic, it could be successful in its execution. Besides, several veteran program hosts are very well-experienced. The question is whether TVB utilizes talents that resonate with the audience.
1 Marketing Proposals Are Penalized if MIRROR Members Are Included
2 If There Was Divine Intervention in Brand Marketing
3 Apart from the Latest Trends, Think About What Else Would Work
Marketing Proposals Are Penalized if MIRROR Members Are Included
Typically, teachers need to mark their students' digital marketing proposals in a digital advertising course. A digital marketer and lecturer, Bernie Wong, had a joke about his scoring matrix. If MIRROR music boy band members are recommended in the plan, there will be a single point deduction for each member on the scoring matrix with a maximum of 12 points. If the plan features ERROR members, the maximum deduction is 4 points. If the plans propose that all 12 members of the MIRROR group represent 12 constellations and 12 personalities, he would triple that deduction to a maximum of 36 points. Regardless of whether they are featured in academic homework or marketing campaigns, MIRROR and ERROR have recently been on the leaderboard.
First, Bernie said that he genuinely appreciates the hard work of these two boy bands. He also appreciates how their managers have painstakingly managed the groups. But what he wants to challenge is for all students and marketing teams to think strategically. That is, instead, simply focusing on the popularity of these celebrities or KOLs when it comes down to recommending them in campaigns.
If There Was Divine Intervention in Brand Marketing
Classic brands like Bigen have engaged Kenneth Tsang Kong to shoot commercials for its products. When enlisting Kenneth Tsang to endorse products, at the very least, one would think it reasonable that he should sport some gray hair at that time of filming to reach the target audience. Marketers may be on the lookout for celebrities or KOLs to endorse or participate in marketing campaigns. Fundamentally, the celebrity or KOL chosen corresponds with the target customer group. But the genuine relationship between the celebrity and the product, or with the brand's values, will determine how well the collaboration resonates with the audience.
Of course, teen idols Keung To, Anson Lo, and Ian Chan are seemingly all-powerful. Any product or brand can instantly increase affinity with its customers by engaging these celebrities, especially within the female market. But brand marketers have to think carefully because this is just a short-term strategy. Executing a method like this is similar to simply sticking the celebrity's face onto your product. If the sticker is removed one day, will the value of your marketing plan for the brand plummet to zero? If stickers of this celebrity's face have the same effect when used on other products, what would be the value of the celebrity to your brand?
Apart from the Latest Trends, Think About What Else Would Work
In recent corporate training and digital marketing discussions, Bernie often played jokes with marketers that the reason they engage MIRROR for their campaigns is that they want to get up close and personal with their idols. MIRROR and ERROR, as well as the group of veteran children's show hosts, are all very high-quality artists. Only when marketers plan to use them appropriately and when they resonate with the values of the brand and products can they truly help to maximize the outcomes of marketing campaigns.

Women We Love 2022: Sam Kirk
June 23, 2022 Lauren Emily
Sam Kirk
by Tamara Hijazi
"As a public artist, I have this amazing opportunity to make a statement that thousands of people will see," Sam Kirk tells GO. When Kirk was young, her family moved around to a variety of Chicago neighborhoods, which inspired her fascination with the human experience and informed her own identity as a biracial queer woman. Now her award- winning multidisciplinary art, which includes 2D and 3D works, fabricated and experiential spaces, and over 60 murals and installations all over the world, continues to explore how life's experiences affect personhood. "When I was a teenager, I used [art] as a tool to navigate my identity and explore how to communicate about it," says Kirk, whose first children's book, The Meaning of Pride with author Rosiee Thor, was released in April. "The value I found during those moments continues to be a key element in my practice as a visual storyteller." As a woman on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, Kirk relishes the opportunities to think creatively. "In many ways [my identity has] forced me to create a path that is very non-traditional in an industry that loves prerequisites and standards," she says. "I've avoided playing by the rules and created my own route." Kirk's route now includes collaborations with well-known brands, higher education institutions, non-profits and cities, and features in O Magazine, Forbes, and Travel + Leisure. A surprising fact about the Chicago-based artist: "I'm afraid of heights, but l have this crazy desire to paint multi-story murals," she confesses. "The bigger the better!" –LE

How Long Does Banana Bread Last in the Fridge?
Refrigerating / By Robin
Banana bread is a great way to use up those overripe bananas.
It is also easy to store and keep in the fridge in case you have leftovers.
But how long does banana bread last in the fridge?
Banana bread itself, without any extras like nuts or chocolate chips, lasts for about five to seven days in the fridge. Banana bread with the added ingredients can be stored for about three to four days.
The low temperature slows down the growth of mold, bacteria, and yeast that cause food to spoil.
If you have any leftovers, it's best to store them in the fridge so they can be enjoyed later on.
Banana bread can be wrapped tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap to keep the freshness in.
Banana bread that has been cut also tastes better when eaten within two days because the oils of the banana seep into the bread and it gets moister.
You can wrap it in aluminum foil or plastic wrap for three to four days, or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for about two to three days.
How do you make banana bread last longer?
There are a few tricks you can use to make banana bread last longer.
The most important thing is to store it in the fridge. Banana bread will last in the fridge for a few days.
If you want to make it last even longer, you can freeze it. Banana bread will keep its freshness for 2 to 3 months in the freezer.
Banana bread is a healthy treat, so you can enjoy it every day. It contains potassium and Vitamin B6, healthy fats, carbs and protein.
How do you store banana bread in the fridge?
Banana bread MUST be stored in the fridge after you've baked it. However, it doesn't taste nearly as good if you store it at room temperature.
It's ok to store banana bread at room temperature for a day, but after that, it should be at the very least be place in the fridge.
Refrigerating banana bread is simple and only requires a few steps.
When you're done baking your banana bread, let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing it.
Banana bread has a tendency to stick to the knife if you cut into it right away, so make sure you allow it to cool.
Banana bread that has been slightly cooled is much easier to cut into neat pieces.
After it has cooled for around 10 minutes, you can put it into a container and place it in the fridge.
Banana bread is best stored in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
Do you refrigerate banana bread after baking?
Although refrigerating is a good way to store banana bread, it is not advisable for banana bread to be refrigerated right away.
This is because banana bread is a non-fussy type of bread.
Banana bread does not need to be refrigerated right away after baking because it contains no dairy products.
In fact, the banana bread will last for a few days at room temperature without going bad.
If you want to refrigerate it, wait until it is completely cool.
How to tell if banana bread is bad?
Like other bread, there are many indicators when banana bread has gone bad.
If it is covered in mold, has a sour smell, or has been stored at a temperature over 40°F for more than 2 hours, the banana bread is no longer safe to eat and should be discarded.
In short, if there are any signs of spoilage, such as mold or a sour smell, it is best to discard the banana bread immediately.
Banana bread that has been stored at a temperature under 40°F for more than 2 hours is still safe to eat, but should be discarded if it has been left out for more than 6 hours.
To preserve banana bread, place it in the refrigerator until it is needed.
How long does banana bread last at room temperature?
Banana bread lasts up to 7 days when stored at room temperature.
If you want to store it for a longer period of time, put it in the fridge. Banana bread can last in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
If you want to freeze it, put it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Can I leave banana bread out overnight to cool?
The answer to this question is a resounding yes!
Banana bread can be left out overnight to cool without any adverse effects. In fact, doing so may even improve the flavor and texture of the bread.
If you are not going to eat the banana bread right away, it is best to store it in the fridge.
This will help keep it fresh and prevent it from going stale. Banana bread will last in the fridge for up to five days.
To sum up, banana bread can last in the fridge for up to five to seven days.
But if you plan to eat it later, you do not need to refrigerate or freeze it.
You can just leave it at room temperature and enjoy it later.

rough sheds, sydney london
Tinshed by Raffaello Rosselli
Amy Frearson | 21 June 2013 ● Dezeen
Australian architect Raffaello Rosselli has repurposed a corroding tin shed in Sydney to create a small office and studio apartment. Rather than replace the crumbling structure, Raffaello Rosselli chose to retain the rusty corrugated cladding of the two-storey building so that from the outside it looks mostly unchanged. The project embraces that it will continue to change with time through rust, decay and repair.
"The humble tin shed is an iconic Australian structure," he explains. "As the only remaining shed in the area it is a unique reminder of the suburb's industrial past."
The architect began by taking the building apart and replacing its old skeleton with a modern timber frame. He then reattached the cladding over three facades, allowing room for three new windows. The frames of the windows are made from sheets of Corten steel that display the same orange tones as the retained facade.
"The materials have been left raw and honest, in the spirit of its industrial economy," adds Rosselli. In contrast with the exterior, the inside of the building has a clean finish with white walls and plywood floors in both the ground-floor living space and the first-floor office.

Movie explores Jonathan Tuckey's home in a 19th-century workshop 14 years on
Filmmaker Tapio Snellman has documented the ageing process of architect Jonathan Tuckey's home, 14 years after he overhauled a 19th-century London workshop to create it. The architect, who is the founder of London-based firm Jonathan Tuckey Design, renovated and extended the steel fabricator's workshop in 2002 to create a unique home for his family and their dog. He left the bare brick walls tarnished with black marks and chose "simple and everyday" materials to rejuvenate the character of the building, but also because they would weather well. Snellman, who shot Collage House in 2016, captures the ageing of these materials – including nicks and scratches on a series metal fixture and doors by splitting the screen into four – a trick he repeats throughout his film. "The split-screen sequences talk about the occupants and about the way architecture is integrated seamlessly with family life and personal expression," Snellman told Dezeen. "The four simultaneous views create one strong spatial impression without any single image dominating the effect," he told Dezeen. Both moving and fixed larch plywood panels clad the exterior, while beach plywood sheeting used as a floor lining inside the house, along with a concrete covering. Douglas fir stud work was planed and left exposed to partition spaces. This enables zones of activity to be defined, while also maintaining openness throughout.

Eleanor Gibson | 13 February 2017 ● Dezeen
This photography taken by James Brittain when the project completed in the early 2000s shows how Tuckey overhauled the industrial building by partially demolishing walls to create a central courtyard. "Plywood has weathered beautifully on both the interior and exterior and the scuff marks of 15 years use now tell the personal story of the family," Tuckey told Dezeen. "The concrete floors have patinated and subsequently become more beautiful," he continued. "The exposed brick was already there but continued to age gracefully as it was used to hang pictures and the kids used it to draw on it." A space that forms a central part of Snellman's film is the open-plan kitchen-cum-dining room, which occupies the former workshop. Here, he captures diagonal patterns of light that floods in through the long skylight between the original wooden bowstring beams restored by Tuckey. Snellman contrasts colour footage with black and white in the film, as well as tracking members of the family through the house. "The very controlled track shots try to eliminate the viewers awareness of the presence of the camera, as if the space would be seen at its most intimate, when no-one is present," the filmmaker told Dezeen.
Ground floor plan [click to enlarge]
When renovating the building, Tuckey's aim was to maintain as many of the building's existing features as possible, while also creating plenty of playful spaces that catered to his then-young children. He divided the long and narrow building, which widens at the southern end, into three parts. He also demolished one of the existing buildings to create a courtyard and a small pond. The entrance hall and living area occupy the northern end with a mezzanine above, while the kitchen-cum-dining room occupies the central space. A walkway links these spaces to the two-storey structure added to the southern side, which houses the bedrooms and a bathroom. Since the original renovation, Tuckey has reconfigured the arrangement of the bedrooms, as his now teenage daughters needed more space. The children's bedrooms have moved upstairs from the downstairs, while the single room used by the parents was divided into two interconnected rooms. A pair of hatches in the bedrooms open to the rooftop terrance, which was also only recently completed by the designer.

541-559 Castle Street
Architects: Parker Warburton Team Architects
Structural and Fire Engineers: Stevenson Brown Ltd
Main Contractor: Amalgamated Builders Ltd (ABL)
The university is building a new childcare centre in Castle Street, opposite the historic Selwyn College, on sites formerly given to a row of timbered bay villas. The facility will provide room for 140 equivalent full-time (FTE) children – boosting childcare capacity at the university by 50%. Years ago, the houses together with others like them were mooted for demolition to provide new lecture theatres. Along came work on the Campus Master Plan to change that and what is now the decision to save the 'appearance' of the villas to the street – with a 'small-person village' tucked in behind. It's facadism, and it's terribly thin. The villas weren't listed for protection in the district plan.
On completion, the new childcare centre will probably collect one or more NZIA Southern Architecture Awards based on ingenuity, subtle(?) mixing of 'kiwi' Disneyland veneer, concept, scale, well-programmed function, urban design, and finishing. After all, the university has spent $200,000 on the design and used award winning architects. But is it kosher to slice the bays off period villas and 'reconstitute' them by nailing onto new buildings? Not sure, will wait until the opening in March to finally pronounce.
In the meantime there's no debating that scale and proportion are correct, and the design has sensitivity on many counts. Will the built linkages, with under-roofs, between buildings read correctly and convincingly to the street? Does it matter anyway, given the facility replaces buildings the university fudged and devalued over many years for temporary use? The landscaping to street and within the block will be superior. What's not to like?
Possibly, the 'what's not to like' is that others in the building design trade will try to mimic (badly) the facadist tactics – the 'chainsaw precedent' having been set – as they gormlessly, constructively, work to erode historic heritage values of individual buildings and townscape values within some of our better but neglected Victorian/Edwardian era residential streets. Like streets in the North Dunedin campus area where tight sections and medium building density are found; places where developers having landbanked aren't of a mind to fully demolish. Whether this turns truly bad, like all building fashions, will depend on the number of occurrences and scale of endeavour. When you do something (was it) cutting edge, it's the followers you should worry about.
In its favour, this 'academic' dalliance with facadism, chainsaw-massacre or whatever it's called – and alright, the institutional client has a reasonably high standard of architectural design and heritage-retention – is aesthetically far superior to the 'piss-poor' gouges and severe ghetto-esque rebuilds now going on in former working cottage character streets, like Grange and Leith.
Otago Bulletin Board
Uni News: Site of new Childcare facility blessed
The new state-of-the-art facility will offer places for significantly more children than the existing centre in Great King Street, and will include a bilingual centre, landscaped external play space, dining and quiet sleep rooms, as well as non-contact and administration areas. All 11 buildings on both the Castle Street and Montgomery Avenue sides of the project will be demolished, with the exception of the period Edwardian facades of the five villas on Castle Street which will be restored. Property Services Project Manager Christian German says "The condition and arrangement of the existing buildings, as well as the need to carry out seismic strengthening, means that re-building is the most cost-effective option. However, by retaining and restoring the villa facades, the view on Castle Street will be improved without changing significantly." The facility will provide 140 full-time equivalent (FTE) child places, including 28 nought- to five-year-olds in the bilingual centre. There will also be two nurseries and two whānau units each catering for 40 two- to five-year-olds.
*restored is a loaded word
Otago University Childcare Association
The OUCA has four new childcare centres under construction on Campus, opening April 2014. They will sit alongside Te Kaupapa ō Rōpu Tiaki Tamaiti (College Centre) 137 Union Street East. All children enrolled at the existing Nursery, Preschool and Fulltime Centres will transfer to the new centres. Link

The facades of period villas in Castle St were being removed for repair and restoration. These facades would be retained as part of the new development in their original positions opposite Selwyn College. Link
18.7.13 University child-care site cleared
University plans to build a $6.25 million child-care centre in Castle St are moving closer to reality as demolition work continues. Eleven buildings, in Montgomery Ave and Castle St, will be demolished to make way for the project, although the facades of five Victorian villas in Castle St will be retained. The new centre would include landscaped internal play space, as well as dining and quiet sleep rooms. Link
13.6.13 Blessing for childcare centre
The childcare centre would integrate three current centres into one. "The concept is a village for children on campus with lots of trees and natural materials." Demolition of existing buildings on the site is scheduled to begin on June 24, and the centre is scheduled to open next March. Link
4.4.13 University plans major building projects
The only large new project on which the university has publicly committed to begin construction this year is a $6.254 million childcare centre in Castle St. The draft design for the centre was almost complete and construction was to begin in June. Link
22.12.12 New daycare centre
The university plans to build a new "state-of-the-art" childcare centre on Castle St next year. The centre would be located on Castle St opposite Selwyn College and retain the Edwardian facades of existing villas. The need for earthquake strengthening and the condition and arrangement of the existing buildings meant rebuilding was the most cost-effective option. $200,000 was spent on the design of the new centre, but the construction budget was under wraps. Once the new centre was built, the facility on Great King St would revert to accommodation or academic use. Link

Rearranging the street furniture
By Peter Entwisle
Dunedin is adopting a new generation of street furniture. It's happened before with varying results and we should try to do better this time.
Free Parking – for Cycles
This item was published on 19 Jun 2012.
The rollout of 56 new cycle stands around the city is almost complete. The sites are high demand and high profile areas that were identified in consultation with community boards and cycling groups.
There are two types of stand – 46 basic U-shaped stainless steel stands, and two sets of five stands that, when installed, spell 'cycle'. The stands were designed in-house and manufactured by local business Identimark with some parts of the manufacturing process undertaken in Auckland.

Moderna Museet Malmö by Tham & Videgård Arkitekter
By Rose Etherington
Stockholm studio Tham & Videgård Arkitekter have completed a museum in Malmö, Sweden, adding an extention clad in perforated orange metal. Called Moderna Museet Malmö, the project involved renovating the existing building and adding a new entrance hall, cafe and upper gallery.
The following information is from the architects:
A starting point was that a new art museum, a public and cultural building, represents a rare opportunity to create a new node within the city, the urban balance is changed and the neighborhood develops.
In Malmö, in the south of Sweden, there was also the possibility to, starting from the industrial architecture of the former Electricity plant dating from the year 1900, create a new art museum with an informal and experimental character that would complement the main museum in Stockholm.
The greatest challenge posed by the project, (in addition to the demanding eighteen-month time limit from sketch-design to inauguration), was the need to adapt the existing industrial brick building to current climatic and security requirements to comply with the highest international standards for art exhibition spaces.

First-graders have short attention spans, so outdoor games provide a much-needed break. They teach cooperation, team play, conduct skills (standing in line) and can reinforce educational subjects. Furthermore, they hone gross and fine motor skills. There are many outdoor games suitable for first-graders.
"Captain's Crew" is an active whole-class game that reinforces following directions. Tell students a crew must do different jobs and activities, and people who don't follow orders will be out. The captain (teacher) will call out orders as follows: clean the deck (kids must pretend to push an imaginary broom), mess hall (kids sit down and pretend to eat), dance around the deck in twos, threes or fours (whichever is called), and rowboats of twos, threes or fours (that number of students sit in a straight line and pretend to row). Students who have the wrong number in their group are out. Practice commands a few times before playing.
Sight Word Jump reinforces frequently used words. Draw a hopscotch board, but put a sight word in each square. The teacher calls out different sight words and students must hop to the correct word. Once a student lands on a word, he changes it with chalk.
In dodge ball, students are divided into two teams. One team makes a circle and the other stands inside. The outside team throws balls trying to get inside members out. To avoid injuries, require students to throw the ball below the knees. As a child is hit, he moves outside the circle. The winner is the last child not to be hit.
There are many versions of tag. Give teams of four colored practice jerseys, with one team designated as being "it." Members of that team must tag as many people as they can within a specified time period (five to seven minutes). Each team gets a turn to be "It," and the team that gets the most people out wins.
In red light, green light, one student is "it" and stands 20 feet from the other students who are lined up shoulder to shoulder facing him. He turns away from the other students as he calls out green light. Students run toward him at green light, but must stop on red light."It" turns to face students when calling out red light and students still moving are out. Play continues until a student touches it."
Relay races, such as wheel barrel races or short walks requiring students to balance something in their hands while moving (a ball), promote coordination and movement.
Play a "letter race" with any number of children. Each child gets a piece of chalk and an area of asphalt. The teacher calls out a letter and students must write it. Each correct letter gets a point, and students can make their own tally marks to keep track of scores. This game can also be modified to reinforce sight words.
