NEW DELHI — Seven friends drowned in the western Indian state of Maharashtra after taking an abandoned boat to the middle of a natural reservoir, the police said Monday. A group of men ages 18 to 23 were celebrating a birthday on Sunday evening with a picnic in a remote village in the Nagpur district when eight of them decided to climb into the boat, using a stick to row to the middle of the 10-foot-deep reservoir, said the district police chief, Arti Singh. As they were taking selfies, the boat started leaking and eventually capsized. One of the men was saved by friends who remained on shore. The bodies of the seven others were dragged from the reservoir on Monday morning by the district police.

Positive Effects of a Brief Session of Aerobic Exercise for Sedentary Children
At a symposium at the 2019 meeting of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, researcher Benjamin I. Goldstein reported that a single 20-minute session of aerobic exercise (achieving 70% of maximal heart rate) was associated with improvement in cognition and in abnormalities seen on brain imaging in young people. Goldstein urged clinicians to do motivational interviews with sedentary children in their care, emphasizing the positive cardiovascular and cognitive effects of exercise. He indicated this would be more effective than a focus only on weight loss, which is much more difficult to achieve.
Inflammation Associated with Cognitive Deficits
At the 2019 meeting of the International Society for Bipolar Disorders, researcher Katherine E. Burdick and colleagues at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School reported that in 240 patients with bipolar disorder who were not currently having a manic or depressive episode, markers of inflammation were associated with cognitive deficits.
Inflammation was associated with cognitive deficits in general, and there were also some relationships between specific inflammatory markers and types of cognitive processing. They found that the inflammatory markers TNF-alpha, TNFR1, and TNFR2 influenced cognitive flexibility. The inflammatory marker VEGF influenced reward processing, while IL-6/IL-6r influenced spatial processing. IL-1beta and IL-1RA influenced social cognition.
Burdick and colleagues found it was important to include both primary and secondary mediators of inflammation in their research "as the effects of the primary pro-inflammatory cytokines can be blocked by a number of decoy receptors and soluble antagonists." Elevations in these can provide additional information about the function of the immune system.
Editor's Note: Targeting inflammation with the anti-inflammatory treatments minocycline and celecoxib has been shown to improve depression. Now the role of anti-inflammatory drugs in improving cognition deserves further attention.
Links Between Mixed Depression, Insulin Resistance, Inflammation, and Cognitive Deficits
At the 2019 meeting of the International Society for Bipolar Disorders, researcher Roger McIntyre discussed links between obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular problems; increased inflammation; and decreased functioning of the neural networks involved in cognition.
He and his colleagues analyzed 121 studies that included empirical research and meta-analyses. McIntyre and colleagues found that patients with higher levels of inflammatory markers have more insulin resistance and cognitive dysfunction. A meta-analysis revealed that the inflammatory markers IL-6, TNF alpha, and CRP were significantly elevated in people with bipolar disorder compared to normal controls, while IL-1B was not.
People with depression who had a few manic traits (mixed depression) were particularly likely to have insulin resistance and elevated levels of pro-inflammatory markers.
People with mixed depression have increases in inflammation and increased incidence of cardiovascular disorder. People experiencing a first episode of mixed depression who are overweight show increased signs of brain aging.
In studies McIntyre and colleagues analyzed, diabetes or pre-diabetes occurred in 50% of depressed patients, and these patients had the greatest amount of cognitive dysfunction.
McIntyre noted that taking the antipsychotic drug lurasidone for bipolar depression worked best in both adults and children who had elevated levels of CRP at baseline. The fast-acting antidepressant ketamine also works well in those who show baseline inflammation .
The anti-diabetes drug liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda) improves mixed depression symptoms and cognition in obesity, diabetes, and mixed depression. Liraglutide belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists or incretin mimetics. They work by increasing insulin release from the pancreas and decreasing excessive glucagon release.
McIntyre now routinely uses liraglutide for cognitive deficits in patients with obesity or diabetes, including patients with mixed depression. It is injected under the skin at 0.6 mg daily, then the dosage is increased to 1.2 mg and then 1.8 mg. Victoza reduces major cardiovascular events in those with type 2 diabetes. The higher-dose Saxenda (3mg) can be used for weight control.
Another anti-diabetes drug, pioglitazine, has also been reported to be helpful in bipolar depression.
McIntyre found that the antibody infliximab, which can be used as an intravenous treatment for chronic inflammation and works by blocking the effects of TNF-alpha, did not improve depression, but did improve cognition.
McIntyre also supports the use of acetyl-L-carnitine, a potential adjunctive treatment that can reverse the insulin resistance that often occurs with obesity and thus could theoretically improve cognition.
McIntyre described preliminary literature suggesting the effectiveness of drugs such as statins, calcium channel blockers, and biguanides such as the diabetes treatment metformin in reducing inflammation.
Bariatric surgery to reduce the size of the stomach was another option discussed by McIntyre. He said the intervention is safe for patients with bipolar disorder and can help them recover cognitive function.
McIntyre noted that offspring of a mother with obesity have decreased response to sensory cues, reward preference, cognitive control, and motor control. Obesity and the inflammation that goes along with it apparently affect offspring via epigenetic mechanisms, meaning obesity may change the structure of inherited DNA (without changing its sequence).
Vitamin D3 Improves Depression in Older Adults
Researcher Negin Masoudi Alavi and colleagues reported in the journal Clinical Nutrition in 2018 that compared to placebo, 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 taken weekly for eight weeks improved depression in depressed patients over the age of 60.
Although the literature about vitamin D3's effects on depression are mixed, a 2014 meta-analysis by Simon Spedding in the journal Nutrients found that in studies of vitamin D-deficient depressed participants whose vitamin D levels were restored to normal levels by the end of the study, vitamin D significantly improved depression. (Spedding attributed earlier mixed results to studies that did not clearly correct a vitamin D deficiency.) A 2013 study by Nayereh Khoraminya and colleagues in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry suggested that a 1500 IU dose of vitamin D3 combined with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant fluoxetine improved depression more than fluoxetine plus placebo in depressed patients who were not necessarily deficient in vitamin D. Another study by Jacqueline A. Pettersen in the journal Experimental Gerontology found that in healthy adults, 4,000 IU of vitamin D3 improved cognitive functioning (namely visual memory) more than 400 IU.
Editor's Note: Given these promising studies, the safety of D3, and fact that psychiatric patients are often deficient in vitamin D3, taking vitamin D3 supplements to improve depression might be worth trying.
Using Light to Improve Sleep and Depression
At the 2018 meeting of the North Carolina Psychiatric Association, researcher Chris Aiken described the phenomenon of sleep inertia, when people are awakened from deep sleep by an alarm, rather than waking at the end of a sleep cycle, and are groggy for 15 minutes. Depressed people may stay groggy for 4 hours. A dawn simulator may help. These lights turn on gradually over the course of 30 to 60 minutes, reaching 250 lux while the patient is still asleep. Dawn simulators have worked in eight out of ten controlled clinical trials to help people with seasonal affective disorder, adolescents, and normal adults wake up more easily. They range in cost from $25 to $90 and some brands include PER2LED or LightenUp. Aiken says dawn simulators can improve depression, sleep quality, and cognition.
Evening and nighttime light: Bright lights and blue light, like the light that comes from electronic screens, can shut down the body's secretion of melatonin, making people awake and alert in the evening when they should be getting sleepy. Dim light or glasses that filter out blue light allow increases in melatonin secretion in the evening, while bright light suppresses it. Missing this early melatonin pulse creates "night owls" who have delayed sleep onset.
Because light still reaches our eyes through our eyelids as we sleep, even low-level light during the night impairs sleep, cognition, and learning, and increases the risk of depression by a hazard ratio of 1.8 (about double the risk). A 2017 study by Kenji Obayashi in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that bedroom light above 5 lux elevated rates of depression in older adults after two years of followup. Living room light averaged around 50 lux and increased depression further.
The treatment is turning off TVs, electronic screens, and cellphones in the evening or wearing blue-blocking glasses, which can be found for less than $10. Blue-blocking glasses can increase calmness and reduce anxiety, and even are effective in treating mania. Then, during sleep, wear an eye mask or get light-blocking blinds or curtains for windows. For a complete blackout, use blackout curtains, aluminum foil over windows, electric tape over LED lights, or try sleeping in the basement.
Aiken suggests that to re-instate healthy sleep patterns, people should institute virtual darkness from 6pm to 8am, including wearing blue-blocking glasses when out of bed. Then they should institute total darkness or wear an eye mask when in bed. When symptoms improve, this routine can gradually be shifted to begin later in the evening, such as two hours before bedtime.
Blue light filters are also available for smartphones and tablets including Apple Nightshift mode, Kindle BlueShade, and Android Twilight and Blue Light Filter.
Glasses that filter out blue light include Uvex Ultraspec 2000, 50360X ($7 on Amazon) and Uvex Skyper 351933X ($7-10 on Amazon). The website lowbluelights.com sells blue-blocking glasses from $45 and a variety of other blue-free lighting products such as lightbulbs and flashlights.
Bright light therapy for unipolar and bipolar depression: 30 minutes of bright light (7,500 to 10,000 lux) in the morning can help treat depression in unipolar and bipolar disorder and seasonal affective disorder. The effects usually take 3 to 7 days to set in, but they only last while a patient continues using the bright light in the morning. Researcher Dorothy K. Sit and colleagues found that bright light therapy in the morning sometimes caused hypomanic reactions in people with bipolar disorder, and reported in a 2018 article in the American Journal of Psychiatry that midday light therapy (from noon to 2:30pm) was also effective without this unwanted effect. However, a 2018 article by Ne?e Yorguner Küpeli and colleagues in the journal Psychiatry Research suggested that a half hour of morning light for two weeks was sufficient to bring about improvement in 81% of patients with bipolar disorder and did not cause serious side effects.
Melatonin regimen for sleep onset delay: Melatonin can be used to treat severe night-owls with a very late onset of sleep (for example, going to bed at 2 or 3am and sleeping late into the morning). Melatonin can help with sleep onset to some extent when used at bedtime, but in those with an extreme phase shift, researcher Alfred J. Lewy recommends a regimen of low dose priming with 400–500 micrograms of melatonin at 4pm and then a full dose of 3 milligrams of melatonin at midnight. The 4pm priming dose helps pull back the delayed onset of the body's secretion of melatonin toward a more normal schedule.
Grape Extract May Improve Cognition
Polyphenolic compounds in colored fruits and vegetables are thought to improve memory and cognition. Extracts from Vitis vinifera, the grape species that includes almost all well-known varieties of wine, have been found to have many beneficial effects: antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic effects, in addition to protective effects on skin, the heart, the liver, and neurons.
For about a decade, researchers have known that polyphenolic compounds from grapes could improve cognitive impairment and reduce neuropathological lesions in the brain in animals with a model of Alzheimer's disease. New research suggests that the same compounds that protect the plant against damage, fungus, or UV rays may also protect the human brain against damage.
Researchers led by Gioacchino Calapai tested a trademarked nutritional supplement called Cognigrape, which includes extracts from Vitis vinifera, in healthy adults between the ages of 55 and 75 in Italy. One group of 57 participants received 250mg of Cognigrape per day while the other group of 54 received placebo once a day for twelve weeks. Several weeks after the supplementation period, the group taking Cognigrape showed significant improvement in cognitive function compared to baseline and compared to the group taking placebo. The Cognigrape group also showed significant reductions in depression symptoms, improvements in somatic symptoms, and improvements in attention, language, immediate memory, and delayed memory. This is the first study to find an improvement in cognitive performance in humans after supplementation with a Vitis vinifera extract.
The study by Calapai and colleagues was published in the journal Frontiers in Pharmacology in 2017.
High-Dose Vitamin D May Improve Cognition More Than Low-Dose Vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with dementia and cognitive decline, but supplements may help. In a study of 82 healthy individuals with low vitamin D levels, high-dose vitamin D supplements (4000 IU/day) improved visual/nonverbal memory more than did low-dose vitamin D supplements (400 IU/day) over 18 weeks.
The 2017 study took place in Canada, where short winter days can make it more difficult to get sufficient levels of vitamin D from sunlight. The higher-dose supplements raised blood levels of vitamin D compared with the lower-dose supplements.
Those who received the higher doses performed better at tests of visual memory such as the Pattern Recognition Memory Task and the Paired Associates Learning Task, but their performance on tests of verbal memory was not significantly different from those in the lower-dose group. This suggests that higher vitamin D levels are particularly important to visual/nonverbal memory.
The study by Jacqueline A. Pettersen was published in the journal Experimental Gerontology.
Antipsychotic Drug Pimavanserin Seems to Reduce Psychosis in People with Alzheimer's
The antipsychotic drug pimavanserin was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration last year as a treatment for hallucinations and delusions in Parkinson's disease. Now it looks as though it may also help people with Alzheimer's disease. Pimavanserin works differently than other antipsychotic medications—a selective serotonin inverse agonist, it acts at serotonin HT2A receptors to produce effects opposite to those that serotonin would produce at the same receptor.
In a trial of 181 patients with Alzheimer's and psychotic symptoms, those who received 34 mg/day of pimavanserin had a significant improvement in psychotic symptoms in six weeks compared to those who received placebo.
Over 12 weeks of treatment, pimavanserin did not impair cognition, as atypical antipsychotics can do.
Pimavanserin was well tolerated. The most common side effects were falls, urinary tract infections, and agitation. Like other atypical antipsychotics, the drug carries a box warning from the FDA that there is an increased risk of death when the drug is used to treat older people with dementia-related psychosis.
The FDA has designated pimavanserin a breakthrough therapy and is giving it priority review. These designations can speed up the development and review of a drug and are granted when a drug looks like it will be substantially better or safer than existing treatments for a serious condition.
Treatment with Hormone EPO Improved Cognition in People with Unipolar and Bipolar Disorder
People with unipolar depression and bipolar disorder may experience cognitive difficulties, even when they're not currently depressed. In a study published in the journal European Neuropsychopharmacology in 2016, researchers led by Caroline Vintergaard Ott determined that treatment with the hormone erythropoietin (EPO) may help. EPO is produced in the kidney and increases the production of hemoglobin and red cells.
Seventy-nine participants with unipolar or bipolar disorder were randomized to receive infusions of either EPO or a saline solution once a week for eight weeks. By the end of the study, those who received EPO showed significant improvements in the speed of their complex cognitive processing compared to those who received saline. EPO is known to induce the production of red blood cells. The improvements in processing speed lasted for at least another six weeks after red blood cell production would have normalized.
Those participants who received EPO not only had improved scores on tests of processing speed, they also reported fewer cognitive complaints. The EPO treatment was most likely to be effective in participants who had more impaired cognition at the beginning of the study.
In previous research by the same research group presented by Kamilla W. Miskowiak at the 2014 meeting of the International Society of Bipolar Disorders, EPO also improved sustained attention and recognition of happy faces.
Inactivity in Young Adulthood May Worsen Cognition Later in Life
The couch potato lifestyle common in the US may have consequences later, in the form of deficits in memory, executive functioning (including planning and execution) and processing speed.
At the 2015 Alzheimer's Association International Conference, researcher Kristine Yaffe and colleagues reported that low levels of physical activity and high rates of television viewing in young adulthood may reduce cognitive capabilities in midlife.
The Centers for Disease Control report that less than 50% of adults aged 18–64 get the recommended minimum of physical activity each week. The guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity (such as walking briskly) and two or more days of muscle-strengthening activities that work all major muscle groups.
Yaffe says that physical activity can protect against cognitive decline or dementia later on.
Participants in the long-term study who reported burning fewer than 300 calories per 50-minute session three times per week during two-thirds of their followup visits had worse cognition at year 25 than those participants who were more active. Those who watched more than four hours of television per day also had reduced cognition in midlife.
Yaffe stresses that exercising regularly is not just important in keeping weight down and protecting the heart, but also in protecting the brain. Regular physical activity may even prevent illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease.

The 35-year-old insurance worker had been diagnosed with a low-grade brain tumour in July 2010. But when he was admitted to the hospital's A&E department in August the following year, after falling ill on a night out, staff failed to take the condition into account and treat him appropriately.
His was one of thousands of deaths that might have been avoided, were it not for basic failings in care at 14 hospital trusts.
The figures make grim reading, but on Tuesday Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, the medical director of the NHS, will concentrate not on the figures, but on the failure of the health service to solve the problems that they made clear.
His review of hospital performance was conducted on the instruction of the Prime Minister in the wake of the Stafford Hospital scandal, where as many as 1,200 patients died needlessly amid "appalling" conditions.
In February, on the day a public inquiry into Stafford exposed appalling failings, Sir Bruce was asked to review the quality of care and treatment at 14 NHS trusts that had higher than expected mortality rates in the past two years.
This week he will show how excess deaths at the hospitals, which serve 5.5 million people, go back far further than two years, and deep into Labour's time in government.
His report, an overarching one on the state of the NHS as well as a detailed examination of each of the 14 trusts, will show that the rot could have been stopped long ago.
Evidence that there were far too many deaths at the hospitals was available when the extent of the scandal of North Stafford Hospitals was emerging in 2009.
However, the failures at Stafford were repeatedly dismissed as an isolated case. In March 2009 Gordon Brown, then prime minister, told MPs: "I am assured by the Healthcare Commission [the then regulator]... that there is no equivalent case in all the other NHS hospitals across the country."
Sir Bruce's report will be seen by critics as evidence this was wrong, and add the names of 14 trusts to Stafford's as a roll of shame: Basildon and Thurrock; Colchester; Burton; Northern Lincolnshire and Goole; Sherwood Forest; George Eliot; Tameside; Dudley group; North Cumbria; Medway; United Lincolnshire; Blackpool; Buckinghamshire healthcare; and East Lancashire.
It will also raise profound questions about Labour's handling of the NHS.
None of that will bring succour to Mr Day's family. He had been in London with friends when he started vomiting and suffering head pains, and was taken by ambulance to Basildon hospital, where A&E staff failed to make regular observations of his condition. No neurological assessments were carried out and his airways were not checked, despite the hospital staff being told of the tumour by paramedics. When his tumour haemorrhaged, Mr Day went into cardiac arrest, suffering irreversible brain damage.
Caroline Beasley-Murray, the Essex coroner, said that if Mr Day had been examined sooner and neurological observations taken there was an opportunity to stall his cardiac arrest. Although she acknowledged that even with appropriate treatment, he may still have died, she said: "There were very serious failings in the care he received in the A&E department."
Mr Day's death followed a report by the Care Quality Commission the previous November which described bad hygiene, blood-spattered equipment and mould on the walls at Basildon A&E.
The trust was ordered to improve, but critics noted that the CQC disclosed failings at Basildon only after the trust's high death rates were exposed by this newspaper. Until then, the health watchdog had said the trust was providing good care.
Andrew Lansley, then shadow health secretary, raised fears that Basildon was not an isolated case. "It is unacceptable that inspectors can score hospitals as 'good' when many patients could tell them that the opposite is in fact true. A number of other hospitals also have high death rates, including Colchester, United Lincolnshire, Dudley and Tameside," he said.
Each of those hospitals is among the 14 in Sir Bruce's review, but when the issue was raised in the Commons in 2009, Andy Burnham, the then health secretary, suggested that figures on death rates could not be trusted and that the public should put its faith in the new health watchdog, which Labour had set up and which began work fully in April 2009.
"The authoritative voice on these matters is the CQC," he told Parliament. "The report [on death rates which Mr Lansley raised] … analysed a more limited set of clinical and quality data than the CCQ. The CQC … takes a wider view."
Last month the watchdog's "wider view" was exposed as a culture of cover-up, with allegations that senior figures were determined to suppress evidence of poor performance at hospitals. Accusations have been made that regulators acted as they did because they were bowing to government pressure.
Other warning signs were there if those overseeing hospitals had looked. When it came to paying out compensation, for example, Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals was one of the worst.
Between 2009 and 2012 it spent £19 million on settlements, compared with the average of £3.2 million among English trusts. That was not the largest total for an individual hospital. East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust and Tameside Hospital, in Ashton-under-Lyne, each paid out £30 million.
Data collected for Sir Bruce's review, and seen by The Sunday Telegraph, make disturbing reading. The investigation examined not just mortality rates but infection levels; the number of patients suffering from preventable and potentially fatal signs of neglect; and the numbers harmed by "never events" such as operations on the wrong part of the body, or surgical instruments left inside a patient.
At United Lincolnshire, there were 12 such events in three years, with seven at Basildon and Thurrock and five at Buckinghamshire.
Lorraine Brewin had to have her lower leg amputated following routine surgery at Grantham Hospital to remove varicose veins (PAUL TONGE)
It was at Grantham hospital, part of United Lincolnshire Trust, that Lorraine Brewin, 46, underwent a routine operation on varicose veins in January 2009. However, she suffered a dangerous build-up of blood in her leg and was transferred to another hospital. Delays and a lack of physiotherapy meant her lower left leg had to be amputated 12 months later. The trust apologised, said it had given its staff extra training to avoid a repeat and paid compensation. Another test was being failed: at North Cumbria University Hospitals Trust only 35 per cent of staff said last year that they would be happy for a relation or friend to be treated there, compared with a national average of 60 per cent.
Another key measure is the ratio of qualified nurses to patients measured in terms of "productive hours" spent on patients by a qualified registered nurse per month. At all but one of the trusts this fell short of the national average.
Tameside Hospital has paid out £30 million in settlements for negligence in the past three years (CAVENDISH)
At George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust last year only 15.5 hours were spent by each qualified nurse per month directly benefiting patients, compared with the average of 85.6 nationally. The picture at Tameside hospital, was little better, with just 17.4 hours, and 25.5 hours at the Dudley Group of Hospitals.
It was at Tameside in January 2009 that Brian Wade, 69, died in agony after lying on a ward for five days while his stomach condition went untreated. Killed by blood poisoning caused by colitis, a severe but treatable inflammation of the colon, his last words were begging his daughter to get help.
A month later, Liz Degnen's mother Betty Dunn, 79, died after contracting the superbug Clostridium difficile at the hospital in February 2009. Describing visiting her mother the day after she was admitted, Mrs Degnen said: "She was slumped across the bed with blood seeping out of her arm. Her eyes were rolling around in the back of her head and she was squirming and trying to climb over the rails of her bed. That image is planted in my mind for ever."
Later that year the CQC rated the hospital's services as "good", based on a system which allowed NHS trusts to rate themselves.
Then, in February last year, a 12-year-old disabled girl lay dead in a bed at Tameside without anyone noticing for so long that rigor mortis set in. Emma Stones, who suffered from cerebral palsy, was admitted with flu-like symptoms in February last year and died 16 hours later from blood poisoning.
John Pollard, the Manchester South coroner, said she might have survived with better care, adding: "The nursing and medical care of Emma fell below the standard that most people would consider satisfactory."
A spokesman for Tameside said it had acknowledged failures in the case of Emma and Mrs Dunn and reached an out-of-court settlement of £40,000 with Mr Wade's widow.
The chief executive, Christine Green, and her medical director, Tariq Mahmood resigned 11 days ago, after fresh disclosures that patients were having to wait up to four days to see a consultant, or were left in corridors for hours.
For thousands of families Sir Bruce's review may provide some answers about what went wrong for their relations; for everyone else they must provide a way of rebuilding faith in the NHS.

There's rarely a week that goes by without a press release landing in my inbox informing me that yet another young fintech (financial technology) startup has been backed by new investors with millions of pounds.
Much of this money is coming from venture capital corporations like Index Ventures and Balderton Capital. Index, one of the largest venture capitalists in Europe, has made 12 fintech investments in the past 12 months, while rival Balderton Capital has also been on a fintech spending spree of its own lately, backing Credit Benchmarck and Revolut within the last two weeks. But they're far from the only ones. Camilla Dolan, an investment director at MMC Ventures, told me today that professional footballers and other high net worth individuals are entrusting her and her firm to make calculated risks with their millions on everything from fintech to foodtech.
In a nutshell, money seems to be pouring into fintech from all angles. Supporting this is a report published earlier this year by IT outsourcing and consultancy firm Accenture showing global investment in fintech firms tripled from $4.05 billion (£2.6 billion) in 2013 to $12.2 billion (£7.8 billion) in 2014, with Europe the fastest growing region in the world.
Investors are optimistic that the shares they buy in fintech companies today will be worth considerably more down the line, with some hoping to cash in quickly when one of the companies they back opts for a public listing on a stock market or gets aquired by a larger firm.
The same investors are spoilt for choice and often overwhelmed by the number of fintech companies out there, particularly in London where there's already a very well established financial services industry.
The sheer variety of fintech firms has boomed as the sector has matured to the stage it's at today. The first innovations came in the form of business to consumer (B2C) services like peer-to-peer lending, remittance and foreign exchange but today there's innovation occurring everywhere, with clever cofounders with experience working for the likes of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley developing services around fraud detection, cybersecurity/threat detection, back end financial services and exchange platforms.
TransferWise, Nutmeg, Crowdcube and Funding Circle are just a few of the big name UK fintech firms that have been on the receiving end of large investments over the last couple of years; their disruptive platforms going head-to-head with some of the world's biggest banks, forcing them to innovate or go into decline, possibly even die.
Personal banking is ripe for disruption and companies like Starling and Mondo are doing their best to revolutionise the way we bank by digitising the entire experience. Mondo is now in talks with the Bank of England after applying for a licence earlier this year. It has also received £2 million from investors to get the business up and running, according to reports, and will be seeking further investment to meet capital requirements.
But why are angel investors, venture capitalists and Westminster so keen to get behind these digital businesses looking to change the way we pay for things, exchange currency and send money to one another?
Continues on next page.
Osborne's fintech friend
Venture capitalist Eileen Burbidge is arguably the most qualified person to answer this question, having been appointed the UK's "special envoy for fintech" earlier this month by chancellor George Osborne.
I asked Burbidge an 11-word question: "Why is fintech such a good place to invest right now?" She replied the same day with 1,234 words of her own, painting a very clear picture on the UK fintech scene and, at the same time, illustrating why Osborne is entrusting her with making the UK the fintech capital of the world.
First and foremost, the fintech sector has a huge market opportunity which ties in directly with the amount of money that flows into financial services from consumers, enterprises and financial institutions themselves.
Add to that the fact that banks spend more than £10 billion per year on their technology (with Barclays having disclosed that it spends £3 billion per year alone) and you quickly see why it's big business. "Supplying these existing incumbent institutions is a massive market opportunity in itself," said Burbidge. "Trying then to also displace their services grows the market by multiple orders of magnitude.
"Unlike e-commerce, music or publishing sectors, the financial services sector has yet to really feel the impact of digital and technology innovation of the last 10 years so the opportunity and massive value-creation lies ahead of us."
The simplicity of fintech business models also helps investors to get on board, as does the fact that most fintech firms generate revenue from the off. "Fintech business models tend to be straightforward and cash generative from day one, whether they are commission-based or otherwise," said Burbidge, who worked in Silicon Valley for several years and was head of product at Skype at the time it was sold to eBay for $2.6 billion (£1.67 billion).
Advances in other areas of technology are also helping fintech companies to thrive. Big data, machine learning, cloud-based computing, algorithmic-based decision making, real-time data ingest and analyses, mobile systems, security, blockchain. These are all technologies that have matured significantly in the last few years, and fintech entrepreneurs are harnessing many of them in their products and platforms today.
Why so many fintech companies?
Advances in the aforementioned fields of technology have set things up nicely for entrepreneurs but there's more to it than that.
Many of the bankers that lost their jobs during the financial crisis of 2007-2008 decided to become entrepreneurs.
"We saw entrepreneurs emerge from the financial sector with less job security and therefore a greater willingness to take risks and start their own companies," said Burbidge. "These same entrepreneurs had witnessed years and years of inefficiencies at larger institutions and were poised to exploit those vulnerabilities. The regulatory environment understood that the economy shouldn't be so dependent on just a small number of financial institutions - and therefore sought to encourage new competition and be generally more progressive in catalysing new innovators."
What's more, these same entrepreneurs were able to receive mentoring and advice through dedicated fintech accelerators like Level39 in Canary Wharf - a space headed up by former Tech City UK CEO Eric Van der Kleij. Banks like Barclays and RBS have also established their own accelerator programmes with help from the likes of startup accelerators TechStars and Entrepreneurial Spark respectively.
Continues on next page.
London loves fintech
London is arguably at the front of the global fintech race, beating the likes of New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
Last month, a survey conducted with the global fintech community by accelerator Startupbootcamp FinTech found that 63 percent of entrepreneurs perceive London to be the world's leading fintech city, up from 51 percent in 2014. And they'd be right to do so.
A separate study carried out by London & Partners, the Mayor's promotional company for London, found that in the year leading up to last November, fintech companies in London attracted more than $539 million – triple the amount raised in 2013 – and an amount representing more than half of all fintech investment across Europe.
There's good reason London's fintech companies are doing well when it comes to fundraising, according to Burbidge. "I genuinely believe true disruption is going to come from London and the UK," she said. "There are inherent advantages here for entrepreneurs and investors."
Advantages Burbidge refers to include the GMT time zone that allows the UK to transact with the Americas and Asia in the same business day, something no other financial hub can do. There are also 100,000 "knowledge workers" in London's financial services sector and the headquarters of 300 world banks.
In addition, Burbidge believes the UK Government and UK banking regulators are keen to encourage competition, open up banking data and call for reviews of new technologies such as digital currencies.
Supporting these statements is the fact that the Treasury has announced "The FinTech benchmarking exercise" in a bid to identify emerging areas of fintech opportunity, consider the UK's performance against other countries, and identify best practice from around the world that might be applicable to the UK. The results of the exercise will be published in the Autumn.
There are still areas where the UK government can do more to support fintech though in Burbidge's eyes. Namely, she wants the government to: continue pushing forward regulation around crypto or digital currencies, boost transparency in banking fees; and accelerate the delivery of banking APIs and access to bank data across the industry.
Levelling the playing field
When these steps are taken, new platforms will flourish that fundamentally change the way we do things.
Fintech investor and Index partner Jan Hammer claims the founders behind many of these new fintech startups are creating opportunities for the public that weren't there before. "Fintech companies often open up financial services to individuals and businesses who were previously locked out," he said, before going on to tout several of the fintech firms that sit alongside Facebook, Dropbox and last.fm in the star-studded Index portfolio. "Funding Circle allows you and I to lend money to small businesses who can access financing not available through banks, Property Partner provides access to the property market from as little as £50, so even those who can't afford to buy a flat or a house can participate; and Adyen makes it easy to expand internationally by accepting 250 payment methods, something that would keep businesses busy for months."
Fintech firms are ultimately out to make consumer banking easier, cheaper and more transparent. They're helping businesses to gain insights that weren't previously possible and they're opening up doors and opportunities for people that were once locked out. As a result, I expect the press releases from fast-growing UK fintech startups will continue coming.

A person did not pay zakat for four years; what is incumbent upon him?
Answers: As all Muslims should know, zakat is a duty that will not end until it is executed. The delay in paying zakat mostly either because of the loss of wealth or maybe because of own ignorance.
This person has sinned by delaying the payment of his zakat because it is incumbent upon a person to pay zakat as soon as it becomes obligatory, and not to delay it, because the basic principle regarding obligations is that they are fulfilled immediately.
There is also no disagreement among scholars that the person must settle the payment of zakat that is delayed for every expiration year whether is one or four haul (year). Anyone who has accumulated-delay in his wealth of four zakat payment while his condition is still alive must then be paid off all zakat by yearly at the required rate (depends on the type of wealth; if its zakat on money then the rate is 2.5%).
According to Shaikh Mohammad bin Salih Al-'Uthaimeen in Fatawa Arkanul Islam; this person should repent to Allah, the Almighty, the All-Powerful for this act of disobedience and he must pay the zakat for all the previous years, and nothing is omitted from that zakat; rather he must repent and pay it quickly, so that he does not increase his sin by delaying further.

Saranya went to 10am kids' BJJ class. Rolling with Payton, she bent her left wrist back and sprained it. Ouch!
Adult class started with TJ's standard warm up. I had to step out briefly to hand Saranya off to Sangeeta and recommend urgent care. Then I paired up with Shabbar to do the spider guard drills.
Shabbar does not like it when I try to coach him. Also, he has bad breath, he cheats during drills, and he's big and strong and skilled and he wrecks me. Still, he's a nice enough guy. I like him. He had real trouble with the spider guard break, but he could just smash me anyway. One time he told me "Really try to sweep me, so I get a real look at what's going on here" so I swept him. He scrambled out and my stupid spider guard grips twisted my fingers as he violently pulled away.
Anyway, the techniques.
First we learned how to establish the spider guard, and how to use it to sweep. From the closed guard, get double sleeve grips. Open your guard while pinching at the knees still. Hip out to the side to get the opposite side foot on the hip, and tuck your same side knee under the arm to get that foot on the hip as well. From this position you have a decent open guard, but for real spider guard control you need to move your foot or feet from the hip to the crook of the elbow, then rotate on your side so you can put that leg high up. Pulling their opposite sleeve while elevating the top elbow, you pull them over you while tipping them over, coming on top. As you do so, keep that grip on the top hand, as an advantage toward submission and control.
The spider guard pass we learned first was to grip the pants at the knee so you have control of him too, tip the bottom guy onto his side, and step out so that he doesn't have that vertical advantage anymore. At range, the spider guard isn't very dangerous or effective. So you line up their top heel (which is inside your elbow at this point) with your knee (you step out farther than your knee for base and stability) and peel the foot off your arm enough to circle under and plant that leg on the ground, breaking their grip on your sleeve. You then staple that leg to the mat and commence your passing.
We also learned a counter to the lasso guard, which was to stay heavy on it, pull your hand back, then circle it under toward their butt, outside, then up toward their knee to break the grip. Then press the knees to the ground and pass.
That done, we had a spider guard drill. Four guys down, the rest along the wall, filling in as guys became available. I started on Greggo. Spider guard, pass or sweep. Well, Greg went easy on me, and I ended up passing! Then I was down, and I swept two guys with the move of the day, before Shabbar came up and smashed me. Back in line, I was paired up next with TJ. I passed his guard and then Andrew passed mine. Next was Matt. I passed his guard and then Shabbar passed mine again. Lesson learned – I suck at guard retention, but I'm better at guard passing.
Then we rolled. My first round was with Sean, who went very easy after rehabbing a 50% tear of his patella tendon. He tried his mounted triangle on me but I scooted out the back.
Next round was with Ray, who was able to pass my guard like butter, but I was able to keep him from properly mounting me by building the elbow-knee cage and hiding in it.
After that I rolled with Greggo, who slowly and methodically passed my guard, mounted me, and arm triangled me. He showed me that by separating my arm, while maintaining mount pressure and a wide base, he was able to advance to a high mount where I was unable to escape or defend.
Next I rolled with Corey, who had just gotten 2 white belt stripes. He started in my guard, and I managed to tip him to the side and take his back like Greggo showed me on Thursday! He recovered enough so I was just mounting him, but I was eventually able to secure a collar, threaten an arm, and then finish the collar choke for the tap. That was thrilling. My only tap of the day.
Then I rolled with Andrew. He passed my guard, mounted me, and got a high mount that I again couldn't get out of. I tried the two-on-one arm trap, but I didn't have the leverage or angle to tip him over. I should have snuck out the back, but on well.
Last roll was with Matt. He started in my guard, so we were both in shitty positions we need to work on. He was able to pass, but I got to my knees and blasted him back. He recovered guard.
I came away with just a little mat burn on my right foot.

I know I go on and on about Disney/Pixar movies but I can't help it. They deserve it.
I watched Finding Nemo, one of my top 5 all-time favorite movies, last night and was just completely amazed by it, again.
Ellen Degeneres is hilarious as Dory and Pixar's animation and story is just unbeatable.
I watched the making-of documentary included on the DVD and cannot believe every single little thing that went into making this movie. You can tell how dedicated the cast and crew was to making this a wonderfully-told visually-stunning story.Cool fact: everyone working on the film had to be certified in SCUBA before they could begin so they would all have a better idea of what life is like in the ocean.
I KNOW all those people that made Shark Tale didn't do that.One of my favorite quotes:
DORY: Oh don't worry. Whales don't eat clownfish. They eat krill.
KRILL: Swim away!
DORY: Oh look! Krill.
It's just, an amazing movie.
And that's all.

In war films, notice the marked tension between those who give the orders and those who carry them out. Common war motifs include military training, the platoon, civilian casualties, espionage, aviation, the prisoner-of-war and daring escapes.
