Behavioural Economics
Hello there, and welcome to my website. My name is Paul Craven. I am fascinated by decision making, investment and psychology (not forgetting happiness, history, humans and humour). After 27 years working for three amazing firms – Schroders, PIMCO and Goldman Sachs – I decided in 2014, aged 50, to do my own thing and launch Paul Craven Partners Ltd. in order to promote Behavioural Economics in business. Some call it Behavioural Science or Behavioural Finance.
(And if you are from the US, you of course leave out the 'u' and spell it ' Behavioral', which is exactly how we British used to spell it until the nineteenth century. But I digress….)
How can I help you?
What's my objective? I believe that understanding the principles of Behavioural Economics provides valuable insights and a strong competitive advantage to those firms and individuals who embrace it, whether in executive decision-making, investment, sales, marketing or in society at large.
If you are curious to learn more, let me know if I can help you. Maybe we can help each other? Please have a look around the website which highlights some of the things I offer that might be of interest – including coaching, consulting and public speaking. There's some fun stuff dotted around as well, alongside lots of book recommendations and links to relevant twitter feeds and websites.
Oh, and I also love performing psychological magic, but that's another story. Come to think of it, it's part of the same story – how the human brain does, and doesn't always, work. It was therefore a privilege to be asked to do a TEDx talk on the subject.
If you want to find out what I have been doing previously for over a quarter of a century, please look at my business biography (and I have been lucky enough to have always loved my work) and read about some of my interests including magic. It all ends up together, around the back of the circle.
Thank you for visiting my pages. I hope our paths cross, sooner rather than later.

Small-business lending has long been in the wheelhouse of community bankers.
The argument has been that small banks have a knack for delivering the personal service craved by entrepreneurs and other mom-and-pop operations, making it a reliable line of business.
However, community bankers have lost a surprising amount of ground to larger competitors in the last few years.
A recent study by the Federal Reserve and the Conference of State Bank Supervisors found that loans to small businesses fell by 2.2% from 20014 to 2016 at banks with less than $10 billion in assets. At the same time, larger banks were able to increase the size of their portfolios by roughly 11%.
As a result, banks with under $10 billion of assets have gone from a healthy lead in this category to a notable deficit.
The heads of small banks are determined to stay competitive and seemed confident about doing so. Three of those CEOs — Luanne Cundiff at First State Bank of St. Charles in Missouri, David Hanrahan at Capital Bank of New Jersey in Vineland and Pat Hickman at Happy State Bank in Texas — shared their plans during a panel discussion at American Banker's recent Small Business Banking conference in Austin, Texas.
Here is an edited transcript of the discussion.
How do you view your bank's role in small-business banking?
DAVID HANRAHAN: While I'm never going to be on the leading edge of the best technology or the newest data collection, I think community banks have such a competitive advantage in terms of our flexibility and nimbleness. Our small size, believe it or not, is a strength. We can run circles around the sometimes bureaucratic processes of larger organizations.
I hear some of my colleagues at larger organizations talk about the need to standardize the way credit is underwritten across a multistate footprint, and I have to tell you that, competitively, I love to hear it. When big banks standardize things and make rigid rules, that's where little people like me shine. We can be flexible and treat every customer individually. We lend to imperfect business owners. Not one of them is going to tick off all of the boxes. We're really good at bobbing and weaving and adjusting to individual customer circumstances.
I think technology is important, though. We have to keep up with the technology that is out there because our customers are going to demand it as time goes on. … But I don't think we have to be on the leading edge of it. Our smallness is a big competitive advantage.
LUANNE CUNDIFF: One of the benefits we have in our industry is the fact that we bring such diversity from the perspective of the size and structure of our institutions. … There are great benefits to having large organizations to provide the services we can't provide. The niches we have are so different. That's what makes our industry so great.
In terms of technology and millennials … I used to hear growing up that my generation would never talk to people or go to a bank branch. I think the millennial group … needs human interactions, particularly as they're growing up, whether they're entrepreneurs or taking over a family business. We can provide that relationship. At our bank we try to find people that like that human touch. From a small-business banking perspective, we have a core group of customers that want and need that.
With that said, one of the important elements for banks of our size involves keeping up with technology, particularly as it pertains to the payments system. I think that is an area that, regardless of who you're working with, the real-time payments, bill pay and ACH are what they will demand. That will be a critical element for community banks.
PAT HICKMAN: I make my officers write letters to the CEOs of Chase, Wells Fargo and Bank of America every year to tell them what a wonderful job they're doing and not to change a thing. We love competing against the big guys. ... When we moved into Dallas-Fort Worth five years ago some people urged us to change our name from Happy State to something more bank-like. Instead, we have found that people like relationships. Today, we have $500 million of loans in Fort Worth. We haven't bought anything. We like spending time with our folks. Whether it is a small town or a large city, we like relationships. When we talk about their money, [customers] like to know the people who will be standing next to them when times get rough.
How do you take relationship-building to the next level?
HICKMAN: You have to get out on the streets and knock on doors. There's no greater compliment to someone than to ask them about their business. To them it is like their baby. Ask them about it sincerely. People love to tell their story.
Our officers will, one to three times a year with their better customers, invite their attorney, accountant and insurance agent over to the bank for a lunch meeting with the client. Let's take the thumb off the clock and not charge them any money. Let's just talk about how to help them do better. The customers love having the focus on them.
CUNDIFF: The St. Louis metropolitan area is very entrepreneurial. Whether it is a millennial entrepreneur coming in to try and get started, or someone looking to take over a family business, we try to make a connection. Sometimes the communication is different. I get messages on Facebook sometimes, which is strange but it happens. We're seeing that you can use technology, but you must also have that personal conversation. … We try to build relationships with lawyers and our clients to get a 360-degree view of the client. You use different tools.
HANRAHAN: Accountants are a tremendous source and influence for referrals. That's why we have three CPAs on our board. … They don't refer us business because we have the best online platform. They refer us because they think we're good people who are flexible, trustworthy and can be a reliable source of credit for their client.
The vast majority of our small-business customers are with us primarily because of the credit component of the relationship. Even for those who have more money in the bank than what we lend them. Having that line of credit and a partner that they believe is going to be there for them in great times and not so great times is the primary driver of attraction and stickiness for our relationships.
At the same time, you're trying to deepen those relationships, right?
HANRAHAN: Of course we want to do that, but we're not ashamed to say no, we're not the right organization for that. For example, if somebody calls me about a credit card for their company, I'm going to tell them to call Amex because they do a great job with that. If somebody wants a residential mortgage, I'll call Luanne or someone in my market because that's just something I'm not good at.
We're not ashamed to just stick to the couple of things that we're really, really skilled at. Those things are lending to small businesses and providing a very friendly hometown feel in our branches. There's a lot of talk in our industry about maximizing share of wallet, and I get that. But I still want to be great at what I do with my customer and not leave a bad taste in their mouth over one piece that I'm not necessarily the best at.
CUNDIFF: Sometimes you can't be everything to everyone. We're not ashamed to refer clients to another financial institution that can do a better job with something that we don't focus on. That being said, we have a pretty large mortgage lending division. We're great at small-business lending. But our platforms are vastly different in that we are relationship-based on our business platform and more transactional on our mortgage platform. That doesn't mean we don't build relationships [in mortgages], but we had to make it very standardized because of the compliance burden imposed on residential lending.
HICKMAN: We know you have to have strong technology. One of the real beauties of mobile banking is that once you get a customer to like [your bank], you never have to lose them. No matter where they move they can take advantage of your services. We see a lot of that. We try to stay up to date. … We're competing with the Chases, the Bank of Americas and the Wells Fargos of the world.
Any thoughts on hiring and retaining talent?
HANRAHAN: It's a big issue. The big banks don't have the credit training and management training programs that they once did. That was a feeder for our industry. And given the black eye that the industry gave itself in the aughts, there aren't as many younger people who aspire to be a commercial banker. Of course, the incumbent banks have their arms wrapped tightly around the best people, and it is hard to pry them loose.
We're dealing with it by, to some extent, growing our own [talent]. If we have a good, young, smart person we can bring into our organization as a relationship manager — we've had some success with that. Also by building a reputation as a bank where lenders can get stuff done for their customer. That's what lenders want to do. They want their customers to feel like they were there for them. They can't always do that in certain organizations.
CUNDIFF: Not only did we receive a black eye during the financial crisis, but we continue to feel those ramifications. Baby boomers are leaving a big hole as they start to retire. There are other banks that are having even bigger problems than we are because people in their towns don't want to work at a bank or, if they do, they aren't skilled enough to do it just yet. So they're having to grow their own.
The American Bankers Association is working on a program to try and figure out how to get banking curriculums back in the universities. For instance, the university I graduated from had a banking curriculum. I don't think they have one today, whether it is for budget reasons or the students coming to college don't know that banking is a great profession. The movies that they see about the financial crisis are all about the big, bad banks. That sways their opinion on what they want to do for a living.
We need programs at the college level, and even the high school level, to try and plant the seed that a banking career is a good career. That's the only way we can address the problem. It has to be done from a grassroots level.
HICKMAN: We have a very strong credit training program. We really have made good use of that. One of the markets we're in has about 800 people, but we've got good bankers there. We've done some unique things. We found an eighth grade math teacher who had been teaching math for 20 years and gave him a new career. … We like to find those kind of folks.
Let me share a story from Drayton McLane, who used to own the Houston Astros before they won the World Series. At one time he was the largest stockholder in Walmart whose last name wasn't Walton. … He gave me the greatest advice for getting people to come to Amarillo. First, you have to pay them what they're going to earn in the big city. That's how Walmart attracted the best talent in the world to Bentonville. He also told me to cast a job as being too big for the candidate you're talking to. People who are worth their salt like a good challenge. I have used that tactic and I will tell you that it works well.

Martin is a young straight lad who is comfortable enough with himself to test his boundaries for the Rate These Guys members. In this video he naively attempts to finger his own tight hole without any lube, and actually does a good job of getting his arse juicy enough to fit two fingers deep inside. Look at the concentration on this lad's face. He is so eager to please!

I thought I was going overboard this season with 9 varieties (well, 10 if I count the volunteer Red Cherries that qualify more as a weed than a Tomato,) but "Tomatoes got headache?" takes the prize!
This year I grew Taxi (almost certainly the same as Rebsie Fairholm's "Yellow Taxi" – a very fine cooking Tomato, but not as nice fresh, I thought – Ida Gold, Gold Nugget, Red Kaki, Black Krim, Lime Greed Salad, Cherokee Purple, Tigerella and my pride and joy, Brandywine (which ought to start ripening over the next few days.)
As related elsewhere, the Cherokee Purple's got (mostly) nailed by blight, which spread to the Lime Green Salad Tomatoes. I started another batch of LGS which are about to get planted out this weekend. Its very late, I know, but we may get lucky with the weather, so what's to lose? I was also lucky with a couple of volunteer Cherokee Purple's that appeared beneath the Rattlesnake Bean tepees, so I've been able to save fresh seed, clean of any suspicion of blight again this year.
Currently I am being threatened with consequences dire and dreadly should I dare to bring another load of Tomatoes into the kitchen... and the Brandywines and Black Krim have barely started ripening...! :-)

Firstly, lets tackle that issue of the '12,000 person waiting list' that seems to be popping up in every magazine, newspaper and online article around. I hate to burst the bubble, but this is no doubt actually the quantity of bulk pre-orders YSL retailers have made to stock the product, rather than eager women putting their name down on a list. Unfortunately it's become common practice to manipulate numbers and facts for media stories, because it works; you've seen the articles and read the hype! This drives me insane and I think the ASA should tackle the issue industry-wide to prevent consumers from being sucked into hype that's really the result of a clever PR story.
Now for the NASA-inspired technology. According to YSL, lipophilic actives were first used to capture stellar dust particles in outer space (who knows why,) and are now being used within the foundation formula to absorb four times their weight in sebum. This theoretically keeps your face looking fresh and your makeup as if it's just been applied, negating the need for powder touch-ups throughout the day. The formula absorbs the naturally occurring sebum from our face without turning cakey or streaky, which is a godsend for those that suffer from an oily complexion or greasy t-zone. I can testament to the fact that the foundation does stay in place and is mattifying without removing any radiance from the skin - often the compromise we make.
So how does it apply? The texture is incredibly lightweight and non-greasy, being comparable to the Bare Minerals BareSkin foundation but without the oiliness the inclusion of serum brings. Although it can appear streaky upon first application (it has a tendency to stick to my foundation brush bristles,) once you layer it up and buff into the skin it creates a pretty good finish. Although it's not the best foundation I've ever tried, nor does it provide serious coverage, it's perfectly pleasant and definitely evens out skintone. I normally apply a dusting of powder over my base to fix it in place and prevent slippage, but with the Fusion Ink Foundation that wasn't really necessary - I can definitely get away with wearing it solo.
The feeling on the skin is incredibly comfortable, although it doesn't feel 'invisible'. It's light enough for daily use, for taking on holiday or even for those that aren't traditionally fans of foundation. Importantly, it's available in 16 different shades that cover the majority of the skintone spectrum - ensuring it's a foundation that pretty much everyone can buy into. (I know how frustrating it can be when there are only five or six shades available!) Basically, the Fusion Ink Foundation is pretty good and definitely delivers on most counts... But it's definitely not the best one I've ever tried, nor does it really justify the hype that has been built.
I often find that brands that hype a product launch often do themselves a disservice, building expectations to such a level that they can never be met - the customer will always be disappointed when they don't walk out with the complexion of Cara Delevingne. It's definitely worth checking out (especially as you can get colour matched and walk away with a free sample from YSL counters right now,) but just be cautious of the hype you're buying into. It's not a wonder product, it won't change your life and you won't drop ten years after the first application. Fusion Ink Foundation is a great little product, but it won't work miracles.
The YSL Fusion Ink Foundation is available now from Debenhams and online, priced £30.50 and available in 16 different shades.

Happy New Year everyone!!!
Well my dear blogland friends, I'm afraid I am going to be saying goodbye for a while.
Unfortunately the past 6 months have shown me that i have few too many things to juggle, and posting on here has become more of a chore to try and keep on top of!
This isn't really a massive suprise as my lack of posting since starting full time work is evident!
So I shall be on hiatus for the next few months until my situation changes :) I will still pop by and post a little something when I have the time, and will still check out all of your lovely blogs :)
Thank you all for being so awsome :D

In an interview with the Georgetown Public Policy Review in 2011, former Sen. Chuck Hagel indicated that he opposed President Barack Obama's policy in Libya, arguing that "Libya was a mistake" and that President Obama been wrong to declare that then-dictator Muammar Gadhafi "has to go."
The interview has apparently not been reported previously during the extensive debate over Hagel's confirmation to be Secretary of Defense.
Hagel's position was consistent with his general skepticism about U.S. military action abroad. His concerns also echo those of some conservatives at the time, as well as the views of then-Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.
One possibly inconsistency, however, is Hagel's argument that Americans should question the government's policy. As Hagel put it in the interview, warning that Libya could be a long conflict like the Afghanistan war:
We're skirting with this situation in Libya. Point being: question the government. Question the policies. Question why society is being asked to give up a right. Question whether monitoring phone calls or bank accounts really keeps us safer. Let's be careful there, let's take a look. Those are issues that are still playing out.
At his confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Hagel took a different view, at least as regards the role of Secretary of Defense, assuring the committee that he would carry out whatever President Obama's policy was, because it "doesn't make any difference what I think."
The relevant sections of the interview, which appeared in Volume 16 of the Georgetown Public Policy Review, are included below:
GPPR: Is there a conflict between improving our security and maintaining our liberties? Have we sacrificed freedom to improve our safety?
Chuck Hagel: That is very big issue that I don't think the American people nor the Congress in the past ten years have paid enough attention to. I was one of four Republicans that put a hold on the Patriot Act Reauthorization [in 2005]. It's not that we four Republicans or any of the Democrats were any less committed to the security of this country, but as I have often said, don't ever give up one freedom in a tradeoff for security.
This was a big debate between the Bush White House and the Congress. President Bush felt that as commander in chief, he could make all the decisions about what was or was not important for protecting our country. So we had some pretty interesting exchanges with the Bush White House on these issues. But I think early on Congress abdicated much of its responsibility on these issues. I think history is not going to be kind to either the Bush Administration or Congress on these issues. I don't think Congress did their job of asking the tough questions on how we got into these wars, and why, and how long we were going to be there. Some of us did ask questions, but they weren't answered. Now ten years later we have more troops in Afghanistan than we ever did, we're spending more money and we have more casualties. And we still don't know how to get out of Iraq after eight years. We're skirting with this situation in Libya. Point being: question the government. Question the policies. Question why society is being asked to give up a right. Question whether monitoring phone calls or bank accounts really keeps us safer. Let's be careful there, let's take a look. Those are issues that are still playing out.
GPPR: In your book, you mention the economy as a critical factor in our national security. You also discuss how economic inequalities help contribute to the growth of terrorism. How are those issues related?
Chuck Hagel: …Back to your point, it's vitally important that we factor in all our instruments of power as we take positions in this part of the world that are vulnerable to terrorism. You've got to figure out what the cause of this or you never can fix it. We're seen as oppressors and occupiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. The American people are shocked by that; how can that be? We've lost 6,000 Americans, tens of thousands have been wounded, all because we're trying to help them. Yes, but we didn't assess this very carefully because these are worlds that are so different from ours. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be involved, but we have to understand it better. And we can't fix it all.
This is part of the debate on Libya — why get involved in Libya and not Sudan or the Ivory Coast? Their people are being massacred by their tyrants. Actually, there has not been a massacre in Libya. [President of the Council on Foreign Relations] Richard Haass testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee two days ago and said that the whole premise of Gadhafi going east and massacring his people was flawed. [See Footnote 1, below] There was never any evidence of that. Some of the president's people said it might happen and so we can't let that happen.
But we have to do a better job of how we are seen as well — reversing the optics. We have to consider how we're viewed by this next generation of citizens in this region. They are combustible because 60 to 70 percent of these countries are under the age of 20. Where are they headed? What are they going to do? They have no education and no prospects. We're only at the beginning of these problems.
GPPR: One of your criticisms of the war in Iraq was that we didn't have our goals laid out at the outset. With Libya, it seems like we're seeing that problem again. How do we define success in Libya? Are we in a position to meet with success?
Chuck Hagel: We can't view this as a question of win or lose. There are too many cultural, ethnic, and religious dynamics at play for us to control. I told Secretary Gates the other day, it seems to me if there was ever a clear early 21st century case of the limitations of American power, it is our situation in Libya. And you can extrapolate from this situation in Libya across that entire area. After ten years in Afghanistan and eight years in Iraq, we still haven't done whatever we were supposed to do. Great powers really do have limitations. We are very limited in what we can do in Libya.
One option being put forth by Lindsay Graham, John McCain and Joe Lieberman is that we ought to go into Tripoli, put boots on the ground, and go after Gadhafi. That's one option. I don't agree with it, though, because what will that get us? Ten years in another war? As Colin Powell said, it's the Pottery Barn rule: you break it, you own it. We broke Iraq so we own it. Now people say, "We can't just leave them." Well, why didn't we think about that? Why didn't someone answer some of these questions about who is going to govern, how they will govern, what it will cost the U.S., how long are we going to be there, and what coalitions are going to come together? Now we're living it.
We can't go around the world and dictate and interfere and say we don't like a certain leader like [Libyan ruler Moammar] Gadhafi. Someone will have to come into power after Gadhafi. Look at Iraq and [Prime Minister Nouri] Maliki (sic). We may end up with another dictator there. Someone will replace Gadhafi, but there's a vacuum. There's a vacuum in Egypt and Tunisia too, but those were different. Those were revolutions that were inspired by young people and driven by technology. It wasn't anti-American or anti-Israeli.
We have very limited options on what we can do. Secretary Gates said to Congress three weeks ago, there's a lot of loose talk about taking out air defense systems. Let me explain what that means. It means going to war. It means attacking another country. It's complicated, it means resources — he went through the whole thing. What do you want to accomplish with that? Now we're all befuddled. President Obama said Gadhafi must go. Is that our policy? Regime change? Well then, what are we going to do to fulfill our policy of no boots on the ground? Now the rebels are upset with us and with NATO because we're not doing enough. This is all part of the complications and limitations. In my opinion, Libya was a mistake. The first mistake we made was the president saying Gadhafi has to go. When the president of the United States speaks, it echoes around the world. So what happens if Gadhafi stays? Do we lose face? Have we disappointed people saying that the U.S. and NATO didn't fulfill what we said we would do?
The same questions I asked about Iraq and Afghanistan, you have to ask these.
I don't know about Libya. You always have to be hopeful. In Libya, the rebels, we really don't know who they are. We do have intelligence that says there is a combination of a lot of dangerous elements in that crowd, which is obviously why we're not arming them. We know that there are unsavory characters that want to take Gadhafi down. These are good examples about how you can get yourself into a lot of trouble. This goes back to my point about limitations — we're very limited in what we can actually do there. And this also goes back to my point about alliances. There's not a situation in the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, or that entire arc that is going to be resolved without enough members of an alliance coming together to work these things through.
[Footnote 1]
In testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 6, 2011, Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, said, "It is not clear that a humanitarian catastrophe was imminent in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi. There had been no reports of large scale massacres up to that point, and Libyan society (unlike Rwanda, to cite the obvious influential precedent) is not divided along a single or defining fault line. Gaddafi saw the rebels as enemies for political reasons, not for their ethnic or tribal associations. To be sure, civilians would have been killed in an assault on the city — civil wars are by their nature violent and destructive — but there is no evidence of which I am aware that civilians per se would have been targeted on a large scale."

Festival season comes to Northumberland on the weekend of 19-21 July for the Northe East Climbing and Walking Festival. This is an opportunity for local climbers and walkers to welcome newcomers to the outdoors, and to showcase 'the County' to people from further afield.
For climbers, Northumberland boasts world class crags to rank with the best in Yorkshire and the Peak District, including rare sandstone gems. For walkers, it's the best kept secret in Britain, with many miles of beautiful and sparsely-trodden open country.
The North East Climbing & Walking Festival aims to celebrate the best of both worlds. Festival HG is the Blue Bell Hotel, Belford, which will offer a warm welcome and undoubtedly some refreshing ales. With crags such as Bowden and Kyloe on the doorstep, as well as the Cheviot and Simonside Fells not far away, there is much to do for both climber and walker alike. Local guides will also be on hand, offering to run taster sessions for those who have never been outdoors before, advise newcomers to the area on crags nearby, and lead walks on the surrounding hills.
Evening entertainment on the Friday will take the form of a pub quiz, courtesy of Mark Anstiss, and a talk entitled 'From North Wales to the North Face of the Eiger' from BMC officer Rob Greenwood. On Saturday night there will be Ceilidh by the Wall Star Village Band and a raffle in aid of Regional Air Ambulance Services, with prizes from the BMC, Scarpa, La Sportiva, Berghaus, Rockworks, Petzl, Newcastle Climbing Centre, and Sunderland Climbing Centre. Rain will not stop play!
The closest campsite is South Meadows Farm, a few minutes' stumble from festival HQ. If you're looking for something a little more upmarket then it is worth contacting the Blue Bell Hotel, or alternatively go to Visit Northumberland for more information. Apart from that there's nothing to book, just join us in the pub on Friday - we look forward to seeing you there![Missing photo!]

The Transportation Security Administration restricts liquid products in carry-on bags to containers that are 3.4 ounces or less each, as of 2015. The containers must go in a quart-sized plastic bag with a zip top. Medications, breast milk, formula and baby food can exceed the limit within reason, according to the TSA. Liquids deemed flammable or explosive, such as fuel, lighter fluid, flammable paint products, tear gas and chemicals are not allowed in either carry-on bags or checked luggage.Continue Reading
The liquid restriction applies to any items in the form of gels, creams, aerosols, liquids and pastes, per the TSA website. Each traveler may only have one quart-sized bag, as of 2015. When a traveler reaches the security checkpoint, they must remove the plastic bag of liquids from their carry-on and place it in a bin. This allows the TSA agents to inspect the contents easily.
Passengers must declare the liquids allowed in larger quantities at the security checkpoint, which means letting the screen agent know about the liquids. The security agents may inspect those liquids individually, states the TSA. These items don't need to go in a plastic bag.
There are no restrictions with regard to the amount of allowable liquids in checked baggage, as of 2015. Passengers who want to bring full-sized toiletries should pack them in checked luggage to avoid problems at the security checkpoint, recommends TSA.Learn more about Law Enforcement

Gerald goes to live with them, but he soon learns that all is not well. Jordan works sporadically and is abusive towards Angel and Monique.

(Bloomberg) -- U.S. senators Jack Reed and Charles Grassley introduced a bill to authorize the Securities and Exchange Commission to impose bigger sanctions after the agency said it didn't have adequate tools to deter financial fraud.
Under the proposed legislation, fines against individuals would be capped at $1 million per violation instead of $150,000 and penalties for firms would be limited to $10 million from $725,000 for each misdeed, according to a joint statement today by Reed, the Rhode Island Democrat who leads a subcommittee that oversees the SEC, and Grassley, the Iowa Republican.
The proposals reflect a November request by SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro that Congress authorize the agency to seek penalties based on the scope of investor losses. Schapiro made the request the same day as U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff rejected a proposed $285 million settlement with Citigroup Inc., aimed at resolving claims the Wall Street bank misled investors in a $1 billion financial product linked to souring mortgages. Rakoff said the agreement was "a very good deal for Citigroup" that represented "a mild and modest cost of doing business."
Reed said the bill, which he titled the Stronger Enforcement of Civil Penalties Act of 2012, would help the SEC deter individuals and firms from repeatedly violating securities laws.
"If they look at the bottom line and see they can break the law, get caught, pay a nominal fine, and still profit, the cycle of misconduct will continue," Reed said in a statement.
Grassley said the SEC should use all of the penalties at its disposal.
"If a fine is just decimal dust for a Wall Street firm, that's not a deterrent," Grassley said in a statement. "A penalty should mean something, and it should get the recidivist's attention."

3 Makeup Looks Inspired by My Favorite Albums of 2016
Since I'm a visual person I hardly ever remember the album title but I just remember what the album art looks like.
I'm a huge movie person. I'd rather watch a movie than live real life any day. I love being immersed in a film that allows me to totally forget all my stresses and woes.
While I am by no means the hugest Wes Anderson fanatic around, I can admit that all his films allow the viewer to leave their lives at the door and live within the fantastic stories and visual brilliance and detail.
The last Wes Anderson movie I watched was Moonrise Kingdom (for the second time), and I was once again engrossed by the vibrant offbeat love story, and especially by the two main characters and their distinct physical attributes. Suzy and Sam's outfits were so amazing that I wanted to be them for Halloween last year. Unfortunately, my boyfriend doesn't have a boy scout's outfit lying around in his closet.
I'm glad I get to become Suzy in a small way--her beauty look--and I have worn my makeup like this on more than one occasion, and always with a Françoise Hardy song playing in my head.
Kara Hayward did her own hair and makeup for the film, and she was 13, so I'm sure we've got this. All we need to accomplish here is youthful skin and the Suzy eye.
Suzy is 12 and, while we can't become that young with makeup alone, we can get a youthful glow with the right cosmetics.
Use your normal foundation, making sure to blend properly. To banish any dark circles and telltale lines, I'm using Benefit Fake Up concealer, which is really hydrating and is the only concealer that really gets rid of my sinus-related dark circles.
Because Suzy's look is quite natural, barring her eyes, we're not using any blush or bronzer, but we will be using a touch of eyebrow pencil, because everyone knows that voluminous brows = youth.
I'm using Essence Eyebrow Designer pencil and filling in my brows the way I normally do, which is to say that I plump them up a bit without overdoing it and looking like they're drawn on or cartoony.
Now for the eyes.
The look is a bold blue shadow with '60s flair. My blue eyeshadow of choice is Essence 3D Eyeshadow in Irresistible Blue Sky, which I'm applying with a wet eyeshadow brush in order to make it more opaque.
The eyeshadow should reach up to your crease only. Once you've done this, soften the edges with a blending brush.
Next, I'm using MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack to line my top lids, making not-too-thick a line and extending a little bit out to create an almost cat-eye effect (so, like, a kitten eye?).
Finish the eyes with one coat of mascara. I love Maybelline mascara forever and ever, and I'm using their Great Lash Lots of Lashes mascara.
For the lips, a natural gloss is key. I'm using MAC's Tinted Lip Conditioner in Petting Pink for the "my own lips but better" appearance.

Wednesday 18 November, the Sodalitas Social Innovation event, will discuss innovative and productive partnership between companies and non-profit organizations.
But how does this collaboration between such different worlds work? What are the actual advantages of this partnership both for the Voluntary Sector and for the businesses?
We talked about it in this interview with Carlo Antonio Pescetti, Managing Director of Fondazione Sodalitas, who deals with these issues on a daily basis.
Sodalitas Social Innovation has been our response to the demands that we have collected both from businesses and from Non-profit Organizations with which, for over 20 years, we have been communicating and collaborating: the former had expressed their will to cooperate with the Voluntary Sector not as mere donors, but as partners that can contribute to the development of innovative social projects; the latter were looking for tools and ways to improve their design skills and become, in the eyes of companies, mature interlocutors with which to build impacting partnerships.
Last October we presented, as part of the CSR and Social Innovation Fair, the results of the research "From Stakeholder Engagement to Multi-stakeholder Strategy", which we conducted in collaboration with Gfk Eurisko on a sample of 141 Organizations. The survey showed that the identification of possible solutions to economic, social or environmental problems is not possible without a collaborative approach, which brings different subjects to work together for a common goal.
Businesses, in particular, have felt the positive impact in terms of stakeholders confidence, corporate reputation and social reporting; non-profit organisations have noted improvements especially in terms of visibility and quality of social relations. In other words, the profit-non-profit partnerships allow those who build them and participate in them to promptly and effectively respond to the needs of the community and of the people, to gain visibility with stakeholders and be perceived by them as more credible and to feed their own relationship network. On the other hand, the results of this survey have encouraged us with respect to the perceptions that we have gathered over years of relationship with both stakeholders: when they manage to set up collaborations which feature shared objectives and, especially, shared ways of working together to achieve them, they benefit not only in terms of quality of the relationship between them, but also in terms of a greater operational effectiveness of the individual organizations.
The Italian Non-profit sector is one of the few sectors that have grown during the economic crisis, thus coming to play a leading role in the redesign of the Welfare system and leveraging social innovation to meet the needs of the people and reduce the areas of hardship. In this scenario the partnerships with the business world - based on the equal sharing of expertise, goods and services - have emerged as a privileged way to process timely and effective responses.
In the last five years the Voluntary Sector, in other words, has experienced an important evolution in terms of design, digitalization, communication - with a more structured approach in the use of social networks - and in impact measurement. This latter is becoming increasingly popular in our Country too, although the distance that separates us from the more advanced countries, such as the UK, is still significant.
At the same time, we must not ignore the fact that today the Voluntary Sector as a whole needs to make a significant leap forward in terms of design effectiveness: the increasing contraction of public resources, greater attention, by private donors, to the quality of non-profit organizations require this sector to open-up to changes which are certainly challenging but which provide interesting opportunities, such as the social enterprise model'.
Our observatory tells us that the contents of the Companies-Non-profit Organizations partnerships are quite diversified.
At the same time in recent years, in light of the economic crisis from which the Country only now seems to be recovering, partnerships engaged in fighting new types of poverty and in supporting the inclusion of the most vulnerable groups, particularly women and young people seeking employment, have gained greater importance, not only in terms of numbers, but also of social effectiveness.
We certainly hope so. The law is going precisely in the direction of facilitating profit-non-profit collaboration in contexts - territorial and social - in which each partner can network its resources and expertise for projects of great importance.
Fondazione Sodalitas, besides following all legal procedures, has involved a group of companies and NGOs in the development of useful criteria to qualify businesses in the renewed system of international cooperation, and is ready to contribute to the drafting of guidelines for the development of effective partnerships between businesses and NGOs.

What's really in store for Malaysia's IT industry in 2017?
Also present, PIKOM Research Committee Chair Woon Tai Hai (pic above) also noted the impact of the recent depreciation of the Ringgit against the US Dollar and the imminent changes in US policy especially on trade related matters, which may have far reaching dampening impact; depressing an earlier expectation of a more positive outlook for 2017.
According to the ICT Strategic Review 2016/2017, the total ICT value in Malaysia for 2015 of RM155.2 (US$34.77) billion, based on the Average Annual Growth Rate (AAGR) of 8 percent for the period 2010-2015.
"The share of the overall ICT industry to the economy expanded from 16.5 percent in 2010 to 17.6 percent in 2015 and is on track to reach 20 percent by 2020," he said.
Woon said that "the underlying growth in the industry arises from the ICT services (ICTS) sector clocking an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 11 percent at RM70.2 (US$15.73) billion in 2015 and projected to reach RM77.5 (US$17.37) billion in 2016."
"The ICTS sector alone contributed up to 6.6 percent of GDP in 2015 and is projected to reach 7 percent by end of 2016," he said, adding that it was "important that business and government leaders keep themselves abreast of all these disruptive technologies including the new ones that are coming in the near future.
"While you may not necessarily rush in to adopt them, it is important that you are aware of the impact and implication should you or should you not adopt them," Woon said.
Key disruptors
In addition, the Global Business Services sector (a local positioning of the Outsourcing and Shared Services industry) is also now taking a more prominent place in ASEAN. Also, for the first time in its eight year history, the ICT Strategic Review report writes about the growth journey of young and established startups who are making a mark in the industry and perhaps one day in the world.
He said PIKOM has focused on several key technology disruptors in the 11-chapter report, which also covers a broad range of topics such as Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT) and Digital Governance.
"Obviously there is no perfect answer to this and hence, realising that dilemma, PIKOM has decided to adopt this theme - Age of Disruptive Technology for this year's ICT Strategic Review publication," Woon said.

Pusha T Samples Biggie on His New Song, Continues to Be 'Untouchable'
Pusha delivers once again.
Big day for Virgina hip-hop: First we got a new banger from Missy Elliott and Pharrell, now we have the return of King Push. Pusha T has debuted the Timbaland-produced "Untouchable," the first new song from his forthcoming sophomore solo album, King Push. And he's done it as the new president of G.O.O.D. Music, a title Kanye West passed on to his longtime friend this week. Already, Pusha's celebrating: "The president of G.O.O.D. Music has been announced / A quarter million a year and that don't bounce," he brags over an ominous keyboard-heavy beat that samples Biggie's ferocious verse from Pudgee's "Think Big."
This is the first new solo music we've heard from Pusha T since 2013's acclaimed My Name Is My Name, but it's not the only thing we've heard from the former Clipse lyrical giant. He's expanded his reach this year, collaborating with Skrillex on the ubiquitous "Burial" and with Axwell and Ingrosso on "This Time." But Pusha hasn't abandoned his rap sensibilities for the EDM world; on "Untouchable," he once again proves that he's got nothing but bars: "I drops every blue moon to separate myself from you kings of the YouTube / I am more U2, I am like Bono with the Edge / In Mexico, fuck Donald and his pledge." Yuugh!

Carson McCullers Quotes About StruggleQuotes about: Struggle
For in a swift radiance of illumination he saw a glimpse of human struggle and valor. Of the endless fluid passage of the humanity through endless time. And of those who labor and of those who - one word- love. His soul expanded. But for a moment only. For in him, he felt a warning, a shaft of terror.
The dimensions of a work of art are seldom realized by the author until the work is accomplished. It is like a flowering dream. Ideas grow, budding silently, and there are a thousand illuminations coming day by day as the work progresses. A seed grows in writing as in nature. The seed of the idea is developed by both labor and the unconscious, and the struggle that goes on between them.

Hmmm, my location defaulted to Australia (so I took it off since I couldn't change it), and that's only partially true as I was born there, but I am pretty much now described as being a Kiwi from New Zealand. I like it here.
Me? I like to write WAT fic, especially Jack and Sam and all the complicated dynamics they have. It may take me a while to update my stories, but I get there in the end. It's good to nag me.
And Anthony LaPaglia is one of the most sexiest, most talented actor ever. So there.

Chanel's 2007 Campaign ~ Keira Knightly

I am so glad Chanel decided to go with a fresh face for this campaign. Keira Knightly won me over--young and tres chic.

- Maryam in Marrakesh said...
Very lovely! And I do so want one of those deer, too.
- March 8, 2008 at 6:21 AM
- Things That Inspire said...
I often wonder what Keira Knightly is like in real life. She looks so very cool and remote.
Lovely post!
- March 9, 2008 at 5:26 PM
- Rob @ I Love Substance said...
Is the Chanel influence from the last episode of Lipstick Mafia?
Or maybe it was 2 episodes ago..?
Either way, Keira is a great model to have for Chanel.
That silhouette shot is fabulous.
- March 9, 2008 at 9:35 PM
- Alkemie said...
Brilliant Asylum - I so agree. I thought Keira was great pick for the campaign.
Maryam - I really got a kick out of the deer myself. Definitely eclectic but somethine very neat!
Things That Inspire - That's a good point about her. And it's probably what they wanted to capture about her as well in the campaign. Great observation.
Rob - I actually have never seen an episode of Lipstick Jungle. My newest series I really like is actually Cashmere Mafia. I may need to check out Lipstick Jungle as well from the sound of it.

These images are great! I think Chanel also does great tv ads too, although I didn't care for the one with Nicole Kidman.
- March 10, 2008 at 9:07 AM
- emily@designsmack said...
I didn't like the ones with Nicole Kidman, either. Something about those spots felt very fake.
Things that Inspire - I think Keira seems a bit aloof, but in some of her print interviews she seems very funny and normal. Hard to tell.
Alkemie - I love the red dress. Also, the choice to have Joss Stone cover "L-O-V-E" for the commercials was really smart, because it gave a very chic label a youthful more attainable vibe.

Kiera Knightly is stunning in these shots! Also a fan of Irina Lazareanu--who's superhot these days.

anthropolgie has a trio of coco books and they are lovely. i will never get tired of your posts on coco chanel.

Kiera really has a glamorous air about her. She's gorgeous without looking common or boilerplate. And I have yet to find a bad angle anywhere on her. I agree, she is divine in this campaign. Lucky woman to have romped about in Coco's apartment for a full day!!!
- March 11, 2008 at 1:46 PM
please maximise your photos thank you.
- March 12, 2008 at 9:31 AM
- Alkemie said...
ATB&B - I can't seem to get away from the trilogies and Long features. It's the OCD-ness, I'm telling you.
I like Nicole Kidman but I agree she wasn't a good choice for Chanel. I feel Keira is much better suited as well for their campaign. I've been seing much more of Irina as well these days.
A Cali Gurl - I 'll have to check out those books.
Franki - I totally agree. Lucky woman to have romped around the apartment the whole day and I've also yet to find a bad shot or angle of her as well!

Indigenous peoples of the Arctic have been making art for thousands of years. In this exhibit, we will look at an ancient artifact fashioned by unknown hands, the work of the first generation of Inuit artists, and two contemporary Inuit artists whose work has become part of the international art world.
For most contemporary art critics, the term "decorative" is pejorative, implying that a work, while perhaps pretty, lacks content and depth. The decorative arts, it is commonly assumed, have two features that are at odds with what we think of as fine art: decorative art is typically associated with function – glasses, plates, bowls, jars, carpets, clothes – and its purpose is to project a style or mood rather than to transmit meaning and incite dialogue.
This Collection explores visual arts in Canada through articles, photo galleries, Heritage Minutes and more, and is presented in partnership with Charles Bronfman's Claridge Collection. Above image: Untitled. Acrylic on canvas, painted by Max Johnson. Courtesy of the Charles Bronfman's Claridge Collection.
Since the Stratford Festival is the model for the Atlantic Theatre Festival, Bawtree invited Michael Langham, former Stratford artistic director, to direct Kentville native Peter Donat in the Festival's first performance of Shakespeare's The Tempest, which opened on 16 June 1995.
On 3 February 1916 fire broke out on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The following morning all that remained of the Centre Block (1859) was the famous pinnacled library and a few walls of rubble. Canada was at war with Germany, its citizens in uniform, but replacement began almost immediately.
The Alberta Ballet Company was founded in Edmonton in 1958 by Ruth Carse as an amateur troupe under the name of Dance Interlude. It was incorporated in 1961 as the Edmonton Ballet Company and reconstituted in 1966 as a professional dance ensemble under its present name. Carse retired in 1975.

In Review :: Branded!
How do you introduce sustainability into a powerful, well-established industry? That's a question I was pondering in 1994 as I watched forest communities torn apart by wars between timber companies and environmentalists.
At the time, I was working at the Ford Foundation, and the newly formed nonprofit Forest Stewardship Council caught my attention. The Council planned to certify sustainable forestry practices, thereby providing consumers with the tools to choose sustainably harvested wood. It seemed to me a powerful idea, and I got deeply involved in making this idea into a reality.
The forestry story is just one of the successes Michael Conroy recounts in Branded! He tells how fish, apparel, coffee, gold, and tourism are all sectors where the certification revolution is taking hold—with more to come.
Conroy draws on his insider knowledge from his work at both the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund to tell of campaigns that force brand-conscious corporations to become more socially and environmentally responsible. In reading this book, you'll find yourself cheering the people who use the marketplace to confront these giant corporations—and win.
Certification cannot solve all the devastating impacts of the global economy, but Conroy's well-researched account shows it to be a valuable tool in building a just and sustainable world.

He sets the stage by discussing how the private sector was the engine of growth in China and India, and shares how some of the lessons have been applied to Africa. He talks about where the growing markets are in the African continent, and the promising future for entrepreneurs there. Gibian spoke at the 2011 Stanford Africa Forum on entrepreneurship and development.
