A Pursuit of Emotional Intelligence
Che Lingo is the South Londoner taking cues from garage and grime to create his own unique, self-reflective and ultra-personal hip hop sound.
"I'm a thinker, and an over thinker sometimes" says emcee Che Lingo, reflecting on his approach to music – and life, really – in a pub not too far from where he grew up.
Now – opening for the likes of Stormzy and Lady Leshurr, reaching the top 50 in the hip-hop iTunes chart, fronting fashion campaigns, founding his own record label and racking up two EP releases – it seems he's come a long way from his Wandsworth estate.
At just 26, Che (pronounced "Shay", from his family nickname, Ché) has been making waves for the last few years with his poetic – and yes, deeply thoughtful – tracks, drawing influence from his first, very British, musical loves: UK garage and grime. Last year saw the release of "Black Girl Magic", an almost-ballad to black women and girls everywhere; to their beauty and their self-worth, and "Metal and Rocks", an aggressive take-down of the trappings of machismo and consumer culture.
Growing up in Wandsworth, Che immersed himself in music, but it wasn't hip hop (at least at first) but the garage and grime of his young years in the capital, where he first learned to spit, rhyme and appreciate beats. "So Solid who are very lyrical – they're mainly from round here," he tells me, gesturing south, "Actually Romeo is a family friend, he's really supportive. And I listened to a lot of Ms Dynamite, Chip and Wiley, for delivering cadance. I made grime, way back when I was super young between the age of about 13 to 15, it was a hobby, something fun to do, and grime was having its first breath.
"I listened to pirate radio quite a lot, and P Money, Ghetts and Dot Rotten on Myspace – from them I learnt multisyllabic rhyming and complex rhyme schemes, fitting in a million things into like 16 bars. Without them I wouldn't be able to do it, or be what I am now technically and sonically." He remembers going to the local youth clubs trying to emulate his heros with his friends, spitting bars and developing his craft.
This young man so eager to learn and develop his skills also grew up surrounded by the reggae played by his grandmother (who he was brought up by, along with his mum), and soon started devouring music from across the pond. He discovered hip hop (Snoop, DMX, Busta Rhymes at first), neo-soul (Erykah Badu) and the R&B of artists like Marques Houston, Pretty Ricky, Tank and Mario. It gave him the vision to see beyond the restrictions of the 130-140 BPM of grime, it gave him room to breathe. 2016's "Stephanie's Crib" - with its skippy, technically gifted flow but laid back clubby hip hop beat is a great example of this melding of his influences.
"Without learning that BPM first I wouldn't have been able to slow it down when I realised that hip hop was more for me, there were more realms within it to express myself," says Che. "The neo soul introduced me to something more introspective, and I transmuted it into rap – I could express myself that way."
"I was born into a council estate so it could have gone very differently for me. I saw a lot of friends disappear, or went to prison, or they were killed."
And he had plenty he needed to express. Che – growing up on the Surrey Lane Estate – says he found living in this part of south-west London "frustrating", with the super wealthy of Battersea living just across the road. "I started to understand the geography of where I was, the economy of where I was, the sociology of where I was...my environment, my standing in life as a black man, or a black boy back at that time", Che says. "Literally right across the road was Battersea Park, where houses are a million plus, then Battersea Bridge that separates the Chelsea and Kensington borough from the Wandsworth borough.
"It gave me that frustration about how the system is set up for people who are placed and raised by the government, in a council estate. I was born into a council estate so it could have gone very differently for me. I saw a lot of friends disappear, or went to prison, or they were killed. There is a lot of crime and a lot of negative things that happen."
He's quick to defend his ends though – and the friends he had and still has there – as obviously being more than just "hood". A thoughtful man like Che would never be so reductive. But life there can be tough, and years of neglect mean that this endures. In the early 2000s (when Che was just a child growing up on the estate) Surrey Lane and the surrounding area was dismissed by journalists on both the left and the right as a no go area for police; full of "high-rise crime hatcheries". Almost two decades on, last summer, major drug raids and subsequent arrests were reported at the estate, just months after a young man was stabbed to death on Surrey Lane. A few streets away – perfectly highlighting the extent of the dramatic contrast between the different worlds of the area – is the school that Prince George started attending in September.
"What I write now is very introspective...I wanted to utilise what I learnt in grime to tell a story."
"I was raised in the hood but not BY the hood," says Che, remembering how his grandmother kept him busy with after school clubs and activities as a kid, and encouraged him to get into the top sets at school, always mindful that education and skill would bring more opportunities. He says this meant he was a fairly sheltered child and was bullied as a kid, with an inner voice, an inner critic, self-chastising. "That's why what I write now is very introspective," says Che. "It's about me, talking about my feelings rather than talking about how much better I am than you, or how many girls I've had sex with, or how much change I have. It's either about me and how I feel, or about my surroundings. I wanted to utilise what I learnt in grime to tell a story."
"Metal & Rocks" is a good example of this, combining Che's slick, aggressive flow – the grime influence of his early years is really evident here – with a darkly slick, sinister beat, frantically and frenetically building pace to spin an urban yarn. "It's about the people around me." he says, "selling drugs, running up on people…I'm vicariously telling their stories." The track examines a society that can sometimes seem obsessed with acquiring objects – clothes, cars, chains, money – rather than focusing on what's truly important: "They got us really deadin' over metal and rocks / Got us incarcerated over metal and rocks / Selling your soul for metal and rocks / My brudda please remember it's just metal and rocks."
The accompanying video is ominous too: Che is bathed in a spotlight surrounded by darkness – reminiscent of a Caravaggio painting – at first seemingly luxuriating in the jewellry and furs on his body, but later appearing to be trapped by them, consumed by them, in that darkness. It serves as a cautionary tale to those who might be sucked into a world devoid of anything but the stuff they want to own. "Know the worth is within you, not the material items you own," he spits.
Tracks such as "Letter to a Dealer" showcase his storytelling skills too. "They're fabricated stories made up from from real life stories," he said. "You could start out as a guy like me….and then you end up in a cage with a prison officer feeding you." On "The Trap" he spits about the potential trappings of life in an estate like the one he grew up in: "The people that have managed to get out I could count on one hand," he says.
As well as embracing more a more imaginative lyrical approach to many in the grime and hip hop spheres, Che's also embraced singing. "I'm an emcee in my head but a singer in my heart," he smiles, and he used this new skill to beautiful effect on "Black Girl Magic".
"Nan taught me the intellectual side of things, creativity, drive and ambition," he says. "My nan's a G. She's literally a G. And my mum taught me life lessons. Without her I wouldn't be able to hold down a flat, pay bills, taxes, how to talk to women, how to maneuver through work...all the things they should teach you at school but keep out of the curriculum to keep you down. She taught me how to operate as an adult. Those two strong women is where 'Black Girl Magic' came from."
The track features smooth, soothing, almost louche, delivery, but lyrics full of awe, love and admiration for those he's speaking to. "Look at that black girl, look at that black girl / Queen (...) got a glow unlike any other I've seen / Chalk that up to the melanin / Chalk that up to your elegance (...) Passionate / Soul of an African / And I can't help tryna grab a bit / Of that black girl magic."
As well as being inspired by the women who raise him, it came from an anger at the treatment of all black women. "I read a statistic that said socially, black women being the most underappreciated human beings on the earth," Che says, shaking his head. "It's mad. To me that's crazy."
This social consciousness is what makes Che Lingo a really exciting voice in the UK rap scene: he's making rap for the woke generation and it's an approach to life, not just to songwriting. "I'm always trying to unlearn certain aspects of misogyny. I want to learn new habits," he says. "Because of how my music career is going, I'm coming into contact with more and more new people – like feminists, black Afrocentric feminists – and I won't ignore it, I want to be as emotionally intelligent as a possibly can.
"I want to be able to interact and speak to everyone – even if I don't agree with where they're coming from I can accept it and acknowledge it – not just one type of person. I'm a thinker, and an over thinker sometimes."
"I'm not bitter, but I only want to prioritise the people that've been there for time. That's just the way the energy is set up now."
Che speaks about wanting his rap to be universal rather than appealing to just one set of people, in one specific place. "I like being in a realm where noone knows me," he says. "I actually prefer it. There are no constraints in what I can write about – it's me or it's my imagination."
His second EP, Charisma, drops today and the opening track "Freedom is Scary" is a freestyle exploring the feeling Che had when he first came into a bit of money, leaving his job and "realising I am an artist" as well as theand the sense of fear and the unknown that comes with it. In keeping with his independent-mindedness, it's released – like all his music so far – on his own label The Risk is Proof – named after the belief that all he's gained has come from taking risks: "It's like, yeah bruv – you're taking risks, it's exciting, but scary...but I will always be able to do exactly what I want."
"Same Energy" is another track from the EP and its tight bars flow hard, expressing feelings about those who did - and more importantly didn't - have his back at the very beginning. "It's about empty promises," he says. "I'm not bitter, but I only want to prioritise the people that've been there for time. That's just the way the energy is set up now. You just aired me."
This ability to tell it how it is without bitterness comes from a deep-rooted self-belief, Che knows where he's going and knows that he can make it happen. "I don't walk round with a big chest or anything, I walk around with a steady chest," he says. "Knowing that there is no one more capable. I'm not 'better' than you, but I know that if I want to do something then at some point it will happen."
His career so far and the loyalty of his fan base speak to that determined self-assurance – and just sheer work ethic - whether it's the fact that it was fans and not a PR agency that emailed COLORS to let them know he would be in Berlin and that they needed to get him in the studio for a session. Or that until a few months ago he did all his own press releases and radio plugging.
It was only recently that he left his job working for a community enterprise that helped people who'd recently come out of prison to find jobs and training; he made music alongside that. One of the stars of the "Black Girl Magic" video – Sandra Lambeck, a German actress – was a fan of the song and posted about it on social media, so Che's fans let him know and the two connected.
"Put me in front of anyone in the world, any province, favela, village...I don't think I even need a mic – i can make people understand me."
Despite already having an international fanbase, he's still a regular visitor back on the Surrey Lane Estate, catching up with old friends. Che says because he's operating in a slightly different world now it means they can sometimes open up to him about issues they might not be able to with those they see every day. It helps keep him connected not just with his mates but with the world he grew up in, and to the emotions so central to his work. "I'm not trying to pull them up, there's no ego, no hierarchy," he says. "It's not about pity, it's just conversation. Feelings come out of these conversations and I retain them...somewhere along the line they come out. "
With a headline date coming up at East London's Old Blue Last next month alongside his new EP, the future's looking pretty exciting for the young man from Wandsworth. He clearly can't wait to get his music out to as many people as possible, in as many places as possible: "I might put out a long mixtape, I might just put out ten singles," he says. "I'm excited. Put me in front of anyone in the world, any province, favela, village...I don't think I even need a mic – i can make people understand me."
Fans should be excited too, Che's future dream collabors list is a pretty great one. Little Simz – for "her level of integrity" as much as anything, he says – producer Kaytranada (who's worked with the likes of Odd Future's Syd Tha Kyd, and even Craig David), Shaka, west London's Angel, Boogie, Tiffany, Kendrick, GoldLink, Giggs, Retch...lack of ambition is not an issue for Che Lingo.
As he puts it, Che is on a sort of intellectual, artistic, musical mission: "I don't care about being the most famous," he says. "It's about a pursuit of emotional intelligence."

Notice in the second hop that the tender cookie has been set. This feels like the redirect is occurring on the Tender end and is a consequence of the SSO.
Please acknowledge.
do you have a redirect string encoded in the SSO?
Hi Courtenay,
Thank you for investigating this.
I have confirmed that we are *not* including the "to" field as outlined here:
Here are two examples of the information encoded in the SSO:
{"email":"[email blocked]","expires":"Fri, 01 Jun 2018 11:54:37 -0400","name":"Marc Guyer","product":"Unit Test Product (UNIT_TEST)"}
{"email":"[email blocked]","expires":"Tue, 22 May 2018 18:38:56 -0400","name":"Mark Baltzegar"}
I have also confirmed that the issue only occurs when the sso query string is present.
I've made some changes, try now! :)
Hi Courtenay,
I saw a new alert message that the Multipass token was expired. However, I'm still having the issue.
While logged in (with a fresh browser), clicking the "View Knowledge Base" button here still exhibits the issue:
the issue before was that tender wasn't set to allow your site to use custom/arbitrary ssl; which is just a flag i set on your site. this should have fixed the issue. do you know what hostname cloudflare is sending? and when it redirects, is it the same url as before? i added an extra url parameter for some redirects that has extra debugging info in it.
I was able to look at some logs and reproduce - it looks like cloudfront isn't sending the right host header, compared to what we normally expect and receive.
Tender is receiving
cheddargetter.tenderapp.comas the hostname, which will always retain and override for the request. What you want to do is send
support.getcheddar.comas the hostname. I know there are a few possible headers and ways to do this.. i THINK the way to do it is outlined here - https://serversforhackers.com/c/cloudfront-and-your-app - by adding 'host' to the forwarded headers whitelist
It looks like the CloudFront interface has changed since that article. I tried adding a custom host, but was unsuccessful. I've attached a screenshot of the message from AWS and the relevant section from their documentation.
Is there another custom header that Tender could read from for this purpose?
Thanks again for your help!
- aws_error.png 44.2 KB
- aws_docs.png 60.9 KB
I THINK this is the solution, but I'm setting up my own cloudfront distribution right now to try and figure it out: "whitelist headers" in the cache section
if this doesn't work, you might also try X-Forwarded-Host header
Awesome! Whitelisting the cache headers appears to have worked. We'll continue to test on our end.
Thank you!!
OK great, I'll stop smashing my head on this awful aws UI :) Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

An hCG or pregnancy hormone diet can help aid weight loss easily and without side-effects.
Several diet programs advertise the use of the hCG hormone in congruence with a low calorie diet. Advocates of such diets suggest that the hormone, medically termed human chorionic gonadotropin, reduces hunger and tells the body to burn fat in specific areas, such as thighs, buttocks and belly. The critics of such diet programs say that hCG is not approved by the Federal Drug Administration for weight loss.
Meal Planning
Food plan that is on an hCG diet is limited to vegetables, fresh fruits and lean proteins. When you are on a pregnancy hormone diet, you will be encouraged to avoid eating food sources rich in carbohydrates, such as pasta, bread, rice or cereal. Apart from carbohydrates rich food, an hCG diet proscribes the consumption of packaged foods, such as chips, baked food products and processed meats; these contain high fat and sugar content. A typical hCG diet plan includes one serving of turkey or chicken along with green vegetables such as asparagus or broccoli. Some breakfast options included in the pregnancy hormone diet include lean protein sources, such as egg white and fresh fruit. Beverages that you may consume include water, tea and coffee.
Restrictions on Calorie
hCG diet programs put strict restrictions on the calorie limits. A person on an hCG diet should incorporate a daily calorie intake that is between 500 and 800 for about 21 days. Advocates of the hCG diet plans suggest that hCG stimulates the metabolism of fat, thereby providing energy and inducing the desired weight loss.
Side-Effects of hCG Diet Plans
Few users of the hCG diet plan may experience unfavourable side-effects, such as depression, headaches and fatigue. Several incidents of stroke and blood clotting have also been reported. It is therefore, important that first-time users consult a health care provider before beginning an hCG diet program. It is also very important to monitor the side-effects and report such to the health care provider.
According to a report by MayoClinic, there is very little scientific proof supporting the effectiveness of hCG for weight loss and dieting. The rapid weight loss that occurs in a person on an hCG diet may be because of the low calorie composition of the diet plans. Experts warn that once the diet program is over, there is a high chance that one experiences a sudden increase in the weight lost when he/she returns to a high-calorie diet.

2Selecting the right pup for your family requires a little leg work, but we'll show you how to choose a puppy that's perfect for you. The worst thing to do is to run out and get your pup just by looking at him. There is much more to choosing a dog than seeing how energetic and friendly she is. Also, don't pick a dog breed because your neighbor/best friend/cousin has a dog of that breed and they are a wonderful dog. More than likely, your requirements for a dog will be different from theirs. And definitely, do not pick out a puppy because it looks cute or the parents are beautiful. In doing that, you may have a beautiful dog, but what is beauty if you have a dog you can't control?
Issues to address
Get out a piece of paper and pen, then go through each of the sections below. Jot down your answers and any notes to the questions in each section. Answer as honestly as you can and when you are finished, you will have a profile of your ideal dog.
Dog Jobs
Are you looking for a watch dog, guard dog or just a family pet? Do you need your dog to herd animals on your farm or watch over flocks? Are you looking for a dog that can retrieve your game or track animal scents while hunting? Do you need a dog that will retrieve your game from the water? Or would you like your dog to work in assistance? From retrieving to sled pulling, there are dogs that are specifically bred for all of these functions and more. For example, a Lab will be excellent at retrieving your game for you, but will make a lousy guard dog due to their overly friendly temperament. A German Shepherd will make an excellent guard dog, but may not do as well with retrieving.
Dogs Were Bred to Work
Keep in mind that our domesticated canine friends are man-made creations. Every dog breed has been bred to enhance certain traits and characteristics that humans found useful in some way shape or form to assist with everyday life. Some dogs were bred to be guard dogs, which means they were bred to be be more aggressive than others. Other dogs were bred to be working dogs, which meant they were bred for long lasting energy and stamina, which means they require a lot of exercise. Others are good at hunting while others are good at chasing mice away. Some dogs demand a lot of your time and others are more relaxed. Some dogs will do very well with strangers, others are protective and wary. Still other dogs require a job to do such as retrieving or herding, otherwise they become bored and destructive.
Due to our modern world, there is less need for dogs to be used as working animals and now mostly find themselves as (hopefully) pampered pets. However, just because you no longer need your dog to pull carts on the farm or chase rats out of the barn doesn't mean that they don't still have those characteristics that originally made them good at those jobs. If you don't address all of these aspects, you may find you end up with a dog that you can't manage and she quickly becomes an annoyance. And these are the things that lead to people giving up on their dogs. By choosing the breed of your new pup carefully, you'll ensure that you have a best friend that fits your life perfectly.
Determine how much time and money you are willing to spend on grooming your dog. Some breeds need to have their coats clipped on a regular basis, while others only need to be brushed. The frequency with which you need to brush also varies between breeds. Some require daily brushing, others you can get away with once per week. All dogs will need their nails clipped. If you are planning on doing it yourself, a dog with light-colored nails will be easier to clip than one with dark nails. All dogs have a vein running through their nails called the quick, which will bleed if cut. In light colored nails this is easier to see.
How much shedding are you willing to put up with? Some breeds hardly shed at all, but will require regular grooming. Others shed constantly, meaning you will have to sweep and /or vacuum daily to keep your house from looking like a fur pit. Even if you don't choose a heavy shedding dog, at least twice a year you'll have to deal with your dog losing it's summer or winter coat. Most dogs are in between, but are you willing to have dog hair all over your house and all over your clothes? Inevitably, with a dog that sheds, you're going to find dog hair in some pretty interesting places.
Do you or someone in your household have allergies to pet dander? If so, you are going to want to pick out a pup that is hypoallergenic, which means they do not shed or shed very little. But the flipside to this is regular trips to the groomer.
Where You Live
Do you live in a house with an average sized yard, an apartment or smaller house or on a farm? Do you live in the city or country or suburbs? Giant breed dogs will do best on farms or large properties, smaller dogs or toy breeds are ideal for smaller apartments. Some breeds need to have lots of room to roam around or need jobs such as herding or guarding to keep them busy and happy. Others are content to romp in your yard, then curl up by the fireplace.

Brett Oaten Solicitors | Debtor Daddy
"When I'm chasing bills… it's very easy to find excuses to not chase. But Debtor Daddy gives you a list who to chase unless I specifically remove them."
Last year Brett Oaten, the principal of Brett Oaten Solicitors, took a five-week holiday. How many people who run businesses can say that?
Brett Oaten Solicitors is one of the top entertainment law firms in Australia. Nestled in Sydney's entertainment hub, Newtown, they have a wide range of clientele within the music industry, from bands to individual artists, to independent music labels, as well as film, TV, technology and new media clients.
Over the past few years, there has been a concerted shift for the firm to become a cloud-based business – ultimately meaning that if needed, work can be done from anywhere, at anytime
From out of control debtors
Lawyers are far better suited to giving legal advice than chasing up bills, and Brett was spending too much of his time, chasing clients for payment and chasing his other lawyers to chase up their client bills.
The shift to a cloud-based business operation is where the journey for Brett Oaten Solicitors began to change. They began using Xero, sending their finances online, and then recently discovered Debtor Daddy through the add-on marketplace, after an accountant friend mentioned it over lunch.
To massive time saving
"The first day I sent reminders I got paid four times what I normally get paid…
Over the first week and a half, I got well over double."
For Brett, Debtor Daddy's integration with Xero is definitely making things happen. Before, it was so easy to come up with excuses to justify not chasing debtors. Now, Debtor Daddy gives a list of everyone that needs to chase, making it so much more simple.
No one can afford to run a business when their clients won't pay their bills on time, Brett realised this and now with Debtor Daddy, he and the team can focus on creating better relationships with those clients that do.
And that holiday?
"I took a five-week holiday to America last year, and during that time I did almost no work. Xero, Harvest and Dropbox allowed me to do that."

How will the rate rise affect DB pension funds?
Key points:
- Bank is taking gradual baby steps on a path towards higher rates
- Small but limited reprieve for some DB schemes affected by ultra-low gilt yields
- Outlook is very uncertain due to Brexit, which could scupper future rises
The Bank of England has raised rates for the first time in 10 years on a gradual path towards normalisation. Stephanie Baxter explores whether this will give schemes a reprieve from low yields
Many defined benefit (DB) pension schemes have come under pressure from ultra-low gilt yields since the financial crisis, as a result of extreme monetary policy.
So the Bank of England's (BoE) announcement on 2 November that its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) had voted to raise the base rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 0.50% for the first time in 10 years has been widely welcomed.
Governor Mark Carney has stressed the "gradual pace" of future interest rate increases, with the central bank's forecasts based on two more hikes over the next three years.
Slowly as she goes
This "baby steps" move towards normalisation should be welcomed by those who believe that asset prices have been distorted by an over-extension of quantitative easing (QE) over the last few years, says Hermes Investment Management group chief economist Neil Williams.
"The $15trn (£11.4trn) of liquidity poured in by the big four central banks (including the BoE) since the end of the last recession has now started to contribute to the problem rather than the solution. This is partly because it's distorted financial markets and asset prices, and caused extra tensions on pension funds because of ultra-low yields.
"This tightening cycle is very different to any in our lives, which is because of increased balance sheets that banks have held during QE, they now have skin in the game. If they take us off guard by for example hiking rates too aggressively, they will inevitably feel some of that pain themselves. So it's in their own interests to continue on this gradual slow baby steps path towards nudging rates higher."
Schroders senior European economist Azad Zangana adds that Carney's expectation of two more rate rises over the next three years is "very limited" and "we've never really seen such a slow pace of rate rises probably anywhere in the world".
Last week's move also only brings the base rate back to where it was last August when the central bank cut it by 25 bps to 0.25% in response to the EU referendum result.
This 'slowly as she goes' approach combined with strong communication with the markets ahead of action may however mean limited reprieve for DB schemes that have seen funding deficits increase on the back of low yields.
Scheme funding levels are affected by what happens to long-term yields and also whether there are more rises in the base rate and if those surpass what the markets expect.
Punter Southall's investment consultant Nick Harvey says: "Whether it's largely symbolic or good news for pension schemes will depend on what happens to long-term gilt yields, which won't necessarily react in the same way as there are different drivers."
This is because there will continue to be high demand for long-term gilts from investors such as insurers and pension funds to match their liabilities, which will help keep prices high and yields low.
Lincoln Pensions managing director Alex Hutton-Mills adds that the central bank's move will only "marginally improve" the funding position of some schemes, as it has been expected and priced in for some time. "Any improvement in funding will be modest as many schemes still contain significant levels of investment risk."
Nothing is certain
Interestingly, the markets seem to have moved away from the BoE's own guidance, as since the announcement they are now pricing in the next rate rise for Q1 2019 rather than Q3/Q4 2018, and the second one not until 2021.
"The market has looked at the current conditions and the statement provided to them, and concluded the BoE wouldn't be able to follow through with the guidance," says Zangana.
As a result, some of the pension schemes hoping for more hawkish guidance decided this was not going to come so they went in and bought bonds, which depressed the yield curve in the 24 hours following the MPC's announcement, he adds.
"If the BoE does decide it wants push the market higher, you would expect yields to rise a bit further from here but not dramatically so. I'd say on the 10-year gilt yield there could maybe another 10 to 15 bps at most, so nothing too dramatic, but there's probably a bit of upside left for pension funds hoping to get a better yield."
Hermes' Williams suggests in tandem with nudging rates up slowly, the BoE could tighten by effectively doing nothing and allowing the balance sheet to gradually wind down. "This could be done by following the US Federal Reserve in stopping the reinvestment of gilts that mature on its own balance sheet, which may exert some gentle upward pressure on gilt yields, while at the same time allowing them to peak out at a far lower bank rate than we're used to."
There is of course the possibility the bank has gotten the timing wrong. The economy's outlook is very uncertain especially due to lowered growth expectations and Brexit, which could scupper its planned rate rises.
Zangana explains: "It has assumed a range of Brexit outcomes based on several scenarios and it hopes for a smooth transition to one of those scenarios. If, for example, we move towards a no-deal scenario, which it has excluded from its analysis, it may end up cutting rates again or at least not raising rates for a while."
Conversely, if the UK ends up with a favourable Brexit scenario, this could prompt the BoE to speed up the rate rise process.
How to react?
Faced with continued uncertainty about the future path of interest rates and Brexit, how should schemes react?
Harvey believes it is still very valid to take a significant proportion of interest rate risk off the table through hedging as rates both short and long term are incredibly difficult to predict.
"There is so much unpredictability out there," he says. "No one can say with certainty whether this rate rise is just a reversal of the rate cut we had in August 2016, in which case we're just back to where we were for most of the decade, or whether we've turned a bit of a corner and rates will rise from here."
Hutton-Mills says schemes should focus on managing risk and think about the sponsor covenant. He is concerned about the impact of the interest rate rise on sponsors' business models (as it rate rises hurt unhedged borrowers), as well as the Brexit uncertainty.
"Because there are still factors like Brexit uncertainty over the hill, the sponsor covenant for some schemes is still very uncertain, so trustees need to keep an eye on how businesses will develop and how they're thinking about investment decisions in the context of the current environment."
At any rate, the path towards normalisation will only be slow and steady, which will mean little nirvana for DB schemes in the short term. Schemes should tread with caution as the BoE's plans could be scuppered by the lurking uncertainty of Brexit.

They are encouraged to save so they will be able to move into their own apartment within a 6 months period. We had three graduates serving as interns; these men are given limited responsibility. Three students completed the twelve months program since January and graduated in the last graduation on March 1. Five men are slated to complete in the next two months.

"If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done." ~Author Unknown
Procrastination, I really should let you go, except that there's this one little thing between us – we've managed to develop a very comfortable, albeit dysfunctional, relationship over the years. You whisper in my ear "there's still plenty of time, no need to rush", and "you know you always slide in under the wire and get it done". And it's true. I DO get it done.
I have a confession to make – I get a little thrill when I've backed myself into the corner that is a pressured, compressed deadline and then have to scramble to show that I'm good for my word. That's messed up, isn't it?
Procrastination, you're like my charming husband smiling up at me from the sofa imploring me to join him for just a little while and then we will do that work together. Except then he falls into a sound sleep just before the work is to start. But there must be something about this cozy relationship of ours that's working for me, or else I wouldn't let you hang around like I do.
But I'm turning over a new leaf. Procrastination, your time has come. I am dumping you starting now. Okay, now. I mean now. Maybe tomorrow morning, first thing.

Looking for an easy St. Patrick's day dessert that looks impressive but doesn't take all night? Look no further. These end of the rainbow cupcakes don't require any special skills and they're sure to be a hit with your kids, at a St. Patrick's Day party, or at a potluck.
Start by making your favourite white cupcake recipe, and add 1/4 cup of sprinkles to the batter for some extra rainbow fun. The sprinkles will dissolve, but you'll be left with a cute rainbow touch to your cupcakes.
Easy Rainbow Icing Tutorial
Next, make a batch of buttercream icing (I'll share the recipe down below) and divide into three bowls. Use yellow, red, and blue gel food colouring for vibrant colours. If you're going for more of a pastel look, the liquid colours give beautiful results too.
Next, take a piping bag and spoon in your colours 1 heaping teaspoon at a time, alternating colours as you go. Don't worry about getting it perfect. That's the fun of this method and what keeps it from getting too complicated.Calling all leprechauns! You'll love these easy St. Patrick's Day cupcakes.Click To Tweet
This is what your piping bag should look like when you're done. You can use any icing tip you like, but I like the large cupcake size for best results.

Ta-da! The Easiest St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes
Pipe the icing on to your cupcakes, and top with a gold coin. I love how every cupcake ends up unique. The downside? Your kids may take FOREVER to pick out which rainbow cupcake is their favourite.
I've made these a couple of times for my music recitals, and they're always the first thing to go. Will you give them a try? Let me know in the comments how it worked out for you, or pin the image at the bottom for later.
