Min me, when other forms are near, And when my -voice thou dost not hear In answer to thee; When other hands clasp thine, And other eyes than mine Are smiling on thee. Miss me, when morning dewdrops shine Like tears within those eyes of thine, At th is farewell; WheiThirds, and trees, and Hewers rejoice And shag God's praise with joyous voice In mead and shadowy dell. Miss me, when bright and fair on high The evening star lights up the sky, And regards the silent earth ; When joy and laughter fill the air; When moonbeams gild the roses rare, And all is love and mirth. Miss me, when many a mile of land and sea Shall part me, darling one, from thee, As oft before: • 7 And in thy dreams of joy divine Link Love's soft name with mine and thine » For we may meet no more.

On Saturday last, four Granges, almost entire, besides delegations from two or three others, met. in Convention at Johnston's, for the purpose of considering the advisability of organizing a County Council of Granges. These Granges were Lott's, William Lott, Esq* Master; Watson's, Capt. Elzy Forrest,. Master ^ Pleasant Cross, Dr. J. M. Bushton, Master; and Lee, Capt. Tillman Clark, Master. Small delegations represented the Mt. Willing and one or two other Granges. Aud oue of the first objects proposed by the Grangers was carefully attended to on this occasion ; that is, the bringing together, in friendly and intelligent association, that large class of society—the farmers—who have iu all the past lived comparatively isolated. The farmers and planters brought with them to Johnston's on this day their wives, their sons, and their daugh ters, thereby promoting the higher social lished at High Shoals, Anderson county, I culture) wi(h al) its beneficial results.

Mr. Quincy tersely enumerates the advantages to be : Saving of land, fencing, food, better condition of stock, greater production of milk and flesh, and what we so much require in this coun * try. the attainment of manure and improvement of the soil. With Indian corn, our invaluable cow pea and the recently' introduced Japan pea, and turnips, and other plants adapted to Southern culture, we have ample resources for a succession of green toed from January to January. When this system is once adopted here, We can produce the same quantity of cotton on half the land now run oyer, and do it with half the labor, and be independent of the poor labor, of which there is such au universal complaint, and what is palatable truth to us all, we can save money and sell at present prices; for I affirm, and am ready to prove, that the land about Aiken has and can produce three bales of cotton per acre, but is only done by the use of stable manure or its equivalent. And the only way to procure that is by keeping stock, and the only way to keep stock is to soil. If you should deem this worthy of publication, and think it of general interest, I will send you a good way to accomplish this result, with the method of cultivation that experience has demonstrated to be successful. As "nothing in this world succeeds like success," (it being very contagious,) I hope this crude article' will elicit attention, and induce pome of our experienced farmers to give US the benefit of their experience.

SEBI has allowed mutual fund units to be traded through stockbrokers. Does it make sense?
HDFC expects home loan rates to increase by the middle of next year
The Reserve Bank of India...
Banks will not lend below the minimum or base interest rate from today as directed by Reserve Bank of India (RBI), but may continue to give cheaper credit to some preferred clients as per their discretion under existing agreements
Banks will not lend below the minimum or base interest rate from today as directed by Reserve Bank of India (RBI), but may continue to give cheaper credit to some preferred clients as per their discretion under existing agreements, reports PTI.
While public sector major State Bank of India (SBI) has made its intentions partly clear in this regard, industry sources said that some of the top private sector banks might do the same.
RBI's direction on having a base rate—the minimum rate below which banks cannot lend with effect from 1st July—was largely aimed at bringing parity between different classes of borrowers and discourage discounted lending by banks to blue-chip customers, mostly large corporate houses.
However, the banks seem to have found a loop-hole in the whole exercise in the name of loan agreements already signed with their existing clients.
Almost all the banks have announced their respective base rates, being effected from today, which range between 7.0%-8.75%. This means they would have to lend at a rate equal to or above these base rates.
In the previous regime, the banks' interest rates were linked to their benchmark prime lending rates (BPLR) decided by them from time to time.
In the earlier system, the banks could lend at a rate above the BPLR, and even below that for their preferred customers. But discounted rates are not allowed in base rate regime.
However, to honour the existing loan agreements signed with their customers, the banks can give the customer an option to continue with the BPLR system till the facility falls for renewal or review.
If the customers want to switch over to the base rate regime they are allowed to do so on their existing loans also.
A circular to this effect was issued by SBI today, the first day of its base rate regime, wherein it has fixed the rate at 7.5%.
Sources said that some of the leading private sector lenders are also going to follow the same model, where they would allow the existing customers to continue with their existing rates if they desire so.
This is despite, the banks having the right to change the rates or even enforce a renewal or review of the rates as per their convenience in floating rate schemes.
But, they are giving this option as they do not want to lose blue-chip customers, especially large corporate clients.
As such, SBI has also decided to continue its teaser home loan rates, where it offers an aggressive 8% interest rate for the first year and subsequently increase it in later years. The scheme was earlier valid till yesterday. Such offers have already come in for criticism by RBI and government officials.

Wandsworth today said it would appeal to the Government to give it the financial freedom to create a "housing ladder" fund for low-income families.
Last year only seven social housing tenants in Wandsworth bought their council house - compared with 274 in 2003. The council said it now hopes to offer residents the new loan from the fund interest-free for five years.
Most London councils have limited financial power to help people into home ownership after the Right to Buy discount was cut from a maximum of £38,000 to £16,000 under the last Labour government.
The council will also appeal to the Government to allow it to give tenants the freedom to use their Right to Buy discount in the private sector. Wandsworth council leader Ravi Govindia said: "Just as Right to Buy inspired a generation of people into home ownership back in the Eighties this is about creating new ideas so that their children can grasp the same opportunities."
Wandsworth's Labour housing spokesman Mark Thomas said he welcomed initiatives to help first-time buyers but they must not lead to a long-term reduction in council and social housing. He added: "That was the problem with Right to Buy and we are still seeing the consequences."
Meanwhile, Boris Johnson announced that developers have secured £20million from the Government's FirstBuy scheme to help Londoners. The project will see low-cost loans offered to first-time buyers purchasing a new home.
London has been allocated only 939 of more than 10,000 homes in the scheme nationwide.
A London Councils spokesman said: "Any money helping Londoners buy their own homes is to be encouraged. However, when you consider that the £20million secured for London will help fewer than 1,000 households to get on the property ladder, this is just a drop in the ocean."

Why the Bengals can cover the spread
Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton returned to duty following last December's season-ending injury, throwing for 366 yards and one score against New York, but was sacked seven times. Cincinnati's defense chipped in with an interception in the final minute to seal last week's win, but had a busy day containing a grinding Jets offense that dominated possession time.
Cincinnati has dropped five of six SU against the Steelers, going 4-1-1 ATS, and has averaged fewer than 16 points per game in its past 12 games against its divisional rival. However, the club's road warrior reputation is well earned after going 7-2 SU and 8-0-1 ATS in their past nine away contests.
Why the Steelers can cover the spread
The Steelers started slow in Washington before exploding for 24 unanswered points, scoring on four of their first five second-half possessions. Pittsburgh has produced mixed results at home against the Bengals, going 2-2 SU in their past four meetings, according to the OddsShark NFL Database, while being held to 10 points on two occasions.
Ben Roethlisberger found the end zone three times against the Redskins, but it is the Steelers' ground game that could give them the edge against a Cincinnati defense that ranked 28th against the rush last season. Plus, the Steelers are 56-35 all-time against the Bengals.
Bengals vs Steelers Live Stream Statistics
The Pittsburgh Steelers will be shooting for a fifth consecutive straight-up win at Heinz Field as they host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday in a Week 2 matchup between AFC North rivals.
The Steelers tallied a 38-16 win over Washington on Monday, covering as 2.5-point road favorites to improve to 8-3 SU in their past 11 games, but they are 1-2 SU in Cincinnati's past three visits.
The Bengals overcame a ferocious Jets defense in last week's 23-22 win in New York, but haven't recorded back-to-back SU wins since Week 13 of last season and are winless against the spread in their past three outings.

From 2010 to 2012, the Steelers won five straight games in the rivalry until the Bengals defeated them at Heinz Field on December 23, 2012. On that day the Bengals clinched a playoff spot for the third time in the last four seasons, while eliminating the Steelers from playoff contention at the same time.
The rivalry has reached unprecedented heights as a result of the 2016 WildCard playoff game. After previously having bad blood between the divisional rival from incidents in the 2015 regular season, the two teams met in the postseason. The contest was rife with physical play and penalty flags on both sides. Ryan Shazier knocked Giovani Bernard unconscious and celebrated the hit on the field riling up the Bengals and their fans as no flag was thrown on the play. The game appeared over after Burfict intercepted Landry Jones, who was in due to an injury to Ben Roethlisberger after being sacked by Vontaze Burfict. But Jeremy Hill fumbled the ball and the Steelers recovered on their 9yd line with 1:36 remaining. Ben Roethlisberger returned and drove the Steelers to the Bengals 47 yard line with :18 remaining. Burfict was flagged for hitting a defenseless receiver, Antonio Brown, on an incomplete pass while Jones was penalized for bumping a referee while going after Steelers assistant coach Joey Porter during the injury timeout. Porter received no flag for his actions. These fouls advanced the Steelers 30 yards with under 20 seconds remaining in the game, allowing Pittsburgh to kick a 35-yard field goal for the victory.
Burfict has been suspended by the NFL for his actions in the games; his appeal is pending. The league has stated that further disciplinary measures against members of both teams may be pending.
Pittsburgh has a 58-35 series lead against the Bengals.
Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers Injury Report
Steelers vs Bengals Live Stream Last Five Matchups
Steelers vs Bengals Live Stream Prediction
The Bengals are 1-5 SU in their last six games against the Steelers.
The Bengals are 5-14-1 ATS in their last 20 games against the Steelers.
The Steelers are 4-0 SU in their last four games at home.
The Steelers will have a quick turnaround for a game both sides have been waiting eight months to play. The most physical yet least penalized team wins. Surprisingly, the league decided to schedule these two for when Vontaze Burfict served a three-game suspension. The loss of Burfict, coupled with changes in the secondary and lack of wide-receiver depth, doom the Bengals late in the fourth quarter. The Steelers revel in the perceived little-brother edge over Cincy, for now. Record: 2-0 [ Steelers vs Bengals Live Stream ]

Inspired by such visionaries, the college was established to bring out the innate potential of the rural poor of Zaheerabad, a small town in Medak district, surrounded by a number of hamlets where people live cultivating land and struggling to eke out a living, deprived of higher studies; to endow students with creative intelligence and to help them walk in the footsteps of eminent personalities. The college aims at giving its best to the students and at helping them become role models. Government Degree College, Zaheerabad was started in August 1991, on a 2.35 acre campus with a meager strength of 60 students. Gradually it has grown to 757 students.Our collective efforts towards better academic standards and discipline on the campus, and the efforts of the Internal Quality Assurance Cell have yielded good academic dividends.The college has achieved above 59% results in the university examinations for the academic year 2012-2013. The results are above the university average. The satisfying feature of the university results is that every department in the college has achieved greater than 50 % results and has won acclaim from everyone. I am extremely delighted to inform you that none of the departments of the college is listed in the Commissionerate website for poor performance. However, we are certainly not complacent and we continue working towards further improving our results.

56. The New War
56. The New War
Lionel Amity is, of course, no stranger to déjà-vu. His life often feels like an endless cycle that he is powerless to stop, especially over the past few days, what with his daughter making her reappearance after ten years. But right now, he is being overwhelmed with a creeping sense of familiarity that seemingly has no reason or purpose. The woman seated at the kitchen table with him and his wife is a stranger, and yet he can't help but wonder if he's seen her before.
"So, just to confirm…you're the leader of the Uniters?" he asks for the second or third time.
"Yes," she answers patiently. "I formed the group, and I've been leading it from behind the scenes. I sent Squadron 3 here to ask you nicely about your daughter, and I was unhappy to hear that you two were quite uncooperative."
"Well, you had our daughter all along," retorts Lionel testily. "It isn't our fault that you didn't know who she was."
The woman – Lady T, she calls herself – raises an eyebrow. "On the contrary, I think that itisyour fault. Both of you should be ashamed of yourselves. What sort of parents would give up on their child and abandon her for ten years?"
"Now, wait just a minute!" protests Loretta. "You don't know anything about why we…"
"Don't I, though?"
Something about the commanding timbre of her voice stops the Amitys up short. Her pleasant tone has suddenly become reinforced by steel fangs.
"Consider the audacity," she continues, "of allowing a nimp to mingle with the ordinary humans and imps! There are so many things that could have gone wrong. Imagine if she'd suddenly started remembering, hmm? What would have happened if she'd recollected who she was and had started telling people that she was actually a nimp? The conspiracy theorists would have swarmed out of the woodwork, I can tell you that much, and they'd suddenly have so many new recruits for their cause. Too many for comfort. And that might have compromised everything."
"All the better, if people would start believing the truth," declares Loretta self-righteously. "They should see the immoral things that the government does to people!"
"And it seems that there is a conspiracy theorist in our midst right now." Lady T's lip curls back. "Don't bite the hand that feeds you, Mrs. Amity. I'm so sick of people like you who only see things as transparently 'good' or 'bad.' The World Gov is a complex institution comprised of many people with many different ideas. There's no malevolent dictator at the center of it all, rubbing their hands together and laughing evilly as they enslave all of humanity. What would be the advantage of that? Without people, the government has no power. And obtaining power isn't even our ultimate goal. Our job is to make sure that everything stays organized, to define normality."
"Then why do you artificially create imps and condition them to do your work?" demands Loretta. "Why don't you let them do what they want…or better yet, get rid of them entirely and just allow humans to populate the world, like it was meant to be?"
"We first created imps to show that it was possible; now they're all a part of the system. We couldn't get rid of them, because the entire economy depends on them now. And it's not as if we're brainwashing them into doing our bidding. They have free will, they have their opinions, and they're free to develop their own personalities and interests once we let them go. We design them for certain jobs because if we didn't, then a lot of vital work would never get done well, or get done at all. Imps aren't unnatural, you see. They and humans both have their places in the world." Lady T folds her hands on the tabletop in front of her. "That's why your precious Pandora is such an outlier since you abandoned her. She's a nimp. Too much of a human to fit in with the imps, but too improved to be comfortable with the humans. Even before she knew who she really was, she was always aware of her differences."
Lionel narrows his eyes. "Now it's starting to sound like you always knew she was a nimp, even when she didn't…"
Lady T smiles, but it isn't a comforting expression, or an innocent one.
He feels profoundly uneasy about the direction that this conversation is heading in. "It's not like you have to reveal to the whole world that she's a nimp. Only a few people know. If you're that worried about the consequences, I'm sure that she could just continue pretending to be an imp, and no one would think anything of it…"
"I'm afraid that won't work," Lady T sighs remorsefully. "Secrets are like organic fruits. They're rare, delicious little things, but they never last too long. You might try to put them in the refrigerator so that they'll keep longer, but it doesn't work. Eventually, one of two things will happen: you'll either take them out and eat them, or they'll spoil and cause quite a mess."
He sets his jaw. "Do you have to beat around the bush? What are youreallysaying?"
"I'm saying that one way or another, the truth will eventually come out about Pandora. That's why I think that she'll be going away for a while. Perhaps the revelation of her true origins will simply be too much for her, and she'll run away, leaving her entire life behind her…a sad situation, but not an entirely uncommon one. These disappearances do happen from time to time…"
Lionel and Loretta exchange a horrified glance.
"Disappearances?" gasps Loretta. "You don't mean that you're going to…"
"…kill her? I wouldn't dare," responds Lady T coolly. "She's much too valuable for that. But she'll need to be transported to a safe place, preferably a place where she can be properly studied. And while she's there, all evidence that she ever existed will suddenly vanish, and she never will have been." She peers through her glasses at them. "I'm not here to reassure you two. I'm here to warn you. By the order of my superiors, you're being given a chance to keep living normal lives. You are to return to Earth immediately and forget all about this, or you'll be disappearing along with your daughter…and if that happens, then you won't be valuable enough to warrant being kept safe. Are we clear?"
"Crystal clear," squeaks Loretta, a gulp of air travelling down the length of her pale throat.
Lionel stares down at where his clenched hands are resting on the table. He knows that he shouldn't resist Lady T, that it would be so much easier for him to brush all of this aside and continue the charade that he's maintained for the past ten years. And yet somehow, he can't bring himself to do that anymore. Imprinted into his visual memory, like the after-burn of a camera flash, is the image of Lai as she shouted at him yesterday, her face livid but still desolate, her tense muscles juxtaposing her overall slumped posture. She looked exactly like someone who had just learned that her parents abandoned her, someone who didn't know whether to be angry or sad. And for the first time, he feels a surge of protectiveness towards her. She's still his daughter, by god, and if Lady T was expecting him to sit here quietly and let this happen…
"We're clear," he agreed calmly, raising his eyes. "And if you're going to make us vanish, then go ahead, do your worst. But leave Pandora alone."
"Excuse me?" demands Lady T, as if unable to comprehend that someone would ever challenge her.
"I said, don't you dare do anything to our daughter," he repeats. "This isn't her fault, it's ours. She never asked for any of this to happen to her. If anyone deserves to be punished, then it's me and Loretta."
"Lionel!" cries Loretta. "We don't deserve to be punished! We didn't do anything wrong!"
He shakes his head silently. Is his wife really deluded enough to genuinely believe that what they did to Pandora was therightchoice?"
"Oh, sonowyou've decided to play the noble parent?" Lady T's teeth and glasses flash at them. "Too late, you've already missed your chance. In case you hadn't noticed, I don't take orders from you. If you try to interfere, then I'll personally see to it that you're no longer a threat. And that is a promise."
"Why should we listen to you?" Lionel's voice is rising. "Why should we just stand by and make yet another bad decision while you take our daughter away to god-knows-where?!"
"Because this is no longer about your daughter," replies Lady T sharply. "It's about the stability of the entire world. Even this very orbital could come crashing down if my endeavor fails. Pandora is merely one piece of a very large machine, and I can't worry about her anymore. I have to think about the greater good. And if you make any attempt to stop me, Mr. Amity, then I'll make you regret it.Do you understand?"
Lionel swallows and leans back against his chair. "Yes," he says quietly. "I understand."
"That's more like it." She stands abruptly, and her chair scrapes against the linoleum floor, making a raspy and discordant sound. But then there's another sound, as well: a sort ofthump-thump-thumpcoming from above their heads, barely audible, like the heartbeat of a gentle lullaby.
Loretta's head darts up nervously. "What was that?"
"How should I know?" mutters Lady T. "There's maintenance ducts between each floor. Some janitor is probably up there making noise." She strides over to the door and pauses for a moment longer before she leaves, her eyes glimmering challengingly behind the lenses of her glasses. "Remember what I said. And don't think that I won't know it if you disobey me."
The door slides shut behind her, and the thumping sound retreats into the distance.

When will interest rates move? Inflation respite forecast to be brief but no rate rise until 2018, say economists
Inflation stuck at 2.3 per cent in March, while employment remains healthy, figures revealed this week.
After the last Bank of England rate setting meeting saw one member of the monetary policy committee vote for a rise, all eyes will now be on whether that reoccurs or more follow suit in the next decision.
A move up is still considered unlikely, but a hike would only take rates back to the 0.5 per cent they were at before the Brexit vote.
Inflation held steady at 2.3 per cent in March, above the Bank of England target and defying expectations of a fall
Rising food costs were the biggest upward contributor to today's inflation figure. Transport costs fell sharply, partly because of the very late Easter impacting air fares
The break from rising inflation is only likely to be brief and economists forecast the cost of living to continue to rise through this year.
The Bank is still not expected to raise rates due to Brexit uncertainty, however, if the economy continues to fire on all cylinders the mood could shift.
Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Global Insight, said: 'Looking through Easter-related distortions, we expect inflation to continue to trend up to reach 3 per cent by the end of the year and to likely peak around 3.3 per cent early in 2018 as sterling's weakness continues to feed through.
'This will be uncomfortable for both consumers and the Bank of England.
'Consumers are facing a serious squeeze as higher inflation is occurring in tandem with muted earnings growth - and this looks set tobite even harder over the coming months
'It is evident that the Bank of England has recently become more concerned about the potential inflation overshoot but we still expect interest rates to remain at 0.25% through 2017 and 2018 at least.
'We suspect that any Bank of England temptation to raise interest rates will be tempered by mounting evidence of a slowing UK economy as consumers rein in their spending and business caution mounts.
'Likely ongoing muted earnings growth is also seen encouraging the Bank of England to sit tight on interest rates.'
One thing that could hold the MPC back is that banks are indicating that they will cut back on consumer credit. With wage rises still low and inflation rising, a crimping of credit should apply the brakes in a similar fashion to a rate rise.
The latest credit conditions survey by the Bank of England shows that the amount of unsecured credit made available to households in the first quarter has already decreased - and they expect it to diminish further in the second quarter.
Oliver Kolodseike, CEBR senior economist, said: 'The last time the unemployment rate stood at 4.7 per cent (in August 2005), total wages grew 4.7 per cent and real income growth (adjusted for inflation) was 2.4 per cent.
'We therefore expect the BoE to tolerate higher inflation in the short term and to keep interest rates at their current level until early-2018.'
Gloomy outlook: The Bank of England governor Mark Carney finally delivered a move in interest rates with the 0.25% cut last summer.
The cut to 0.25%
Bank rate was cut in August to 0.25 per cent from its already record low level of 0.5 per cent, where it had remained for more than seven years.
The Bank also rolled out £60billion more quantitative easing, £10billion of corporate bond-buying and a £100million Funding for Lending-style scheme.
The widely-expected rate cut was voted for unanimously by the monetary policy committee and should deliver a boost to borrowers through cheaper mortgages and loans but will hit savers who are already suffering from historically low rates.
Policymakers also decided to pump extra money into the economy through the Bank's government bond-buying quantitative easing programme and buy up to £10billion of UK corporate bonds.
A new Funding for Lending style scheme worth up to £100billion was also announced. This may deliver more effect than the rate cut.
Laying out its interest rate decision in August, the Bank of England said the following, Simon Lambert explains what it means.
On lower interest rates
BoE: 'The cut in Bank Rate will lower borrowing costs for households and businesses. However, as interest rates are close to zero, it is likely to be difficult for some banks and building societies to reduce deposit rates much further, which in turn might limit their ability to cut their lending rates.'
Translation: We are cutting rates because lower costs will encourage households and businesses to borrow more, encouraging banks to create more money for loans and keep money flowing into the economy. As rates are so low, the effect may be limited.
On its new Term Funding Scheme (which looks like Funding for Lending 2)
BoE: 'In order to mitigate this, the MPC is launching a Term Funding Scheme (TFS) that will provide funding for banks at interest rates close to Bank Rate.
'This monetary policy action should help reinforce the transmission of the reduction in Bank Rate to the real economy to ensure that households and firms benefit from the MPC's actions.
'In addition, the TFS provides participants with a cost effective source of funding to support additional lending to the real economy, providing insurance against the risk that conditions tighten in bank funding markets. '
Translation: To encourage banks to lend more we will supply them with ultra-cheap funds, which they can pass on to businesses, homeowners and individuals. This worked with Funding for Lending and we think it will work again.
On £60bn more QE
BoE: 'The expansion of the Bank of England's asset purchase programme for UK government bonds will impart monetary stimulus by lowering the yields on securities that are used to determine the cost of borrowing for households and businesses.
'It is also likely to trigger portfolio rebalancing into riskier assets by current holders of government bonds, further enhancing the supply of credit to the broader economy. '
Translation: By buying government bonds from financial institutions we will drive up the price of gilts and push down their yields, which heavily influence rates on mortgages and other loans. By paying financial institutions for safe haven government bonds we give them money that we hope will be invested in more risky assets, such as company bonds and shares and encourage borrowing and lending.
On buying up to £10bn of corporate bonds
BoE: 'Purchases of corporate bonds could provide somewhat more stimulus than the same amount of gilt purchases. In particular, given that corporate bonds are higher-yielding instruments than government bonds, investors selling corporate debt to the Bank could be more likely to invest the money received in other corporate assets than those selling gilts.
'In addition, by increasing demand in secondary markets, purchases by the Bank could reduce liquidity premia; and such purchases could stimulate issuance in sterling corporate bond markets.'
Translation: We know that the trickle down effect of buying government bonds is disputed, so by also buying corporate bonds we hope to push some money into the system quicker, as those we buy them from are more likely to invest in things that will help the real economy.'
Brexit has rocked the markets and led to suggestions of a fresh UK recession
Interest rate essentials: a quick guide to things you need to know
Slack, wages, forward guidance and Brexit, a potted history
Having initially formed its forward guidance on interest rates around unemployment, the Bank of England switched tack when this fell far faster than expected.
The UK interest rate outlook underwent a transformation with this initiative from Mark Carney in summer 2013, which was launched alongside his first quarterly inflation report as Bank of England governor.
He pledged that rates will not go up as long as the unemployment rate remained above 7 per cent.
The Bank initially projected a very slow recovery that would not see it fall below 7 per cent much before late 2016, this was then changed to 2015 as unemployment fell swifter than expected.
Unemployment actually dropped below 7 per cent in January 2014 - by November 2015 it was at 5.1 per cent and by June 2016 it was 4.9 per cent.
It identified the somewhat nebulous concept of slack in the economy as one of the new deciding factors on when rates would be ready to rise.
It is also keeping a keen eye on wage growth and the global economy.
The Bank's 2013 August Inflation Report unveiled Forward Guidance Mark 1, which said the bank would not consider raising rates until unemployment fell to 7 per cent or lower. At that point unemployment stood at 7.8 per cent. It promptly dropped like a stone yet rates remained on hold.
Forward Guidance Mark 2 arrived in February 2014. It put slack on the agenda, identifying that spare capacity in the economy meant that it could grow at a faster rate without requiring rates to rise.
The Bank says that some of this slack had been used up, but there had actually been more of it than first thought.
It now also looks keenly at wages, which although having risen at a faster pace than in recent years, remain some way below where they would be expected to be at this point in a recovery.
Brexit added an extra element to all of this, however, and led to an emergency rate cut rather than the expected hike. There is now little forward guidance on where rates are headed beyond the usual pronouncements. The Bank says the next move could be up, or down.
QE vs Funding for Lending
The Funding for Lending scheme overtook QE in 2012 and 2013. This was designed to allow banks and building societies to take cheap cash from the Bank and pass it on to mortgage borrowers and businesses.
The Bank later switched off the taps on more funding for mortgages through this, although lenders could still tap into their existing allocation.
The jury is still out on whether Funding for Lending was a winner.
It pushed mortgage rates down substantially, albeit with the best benefits delivered to those with big deposits, but banks are still being accused of hoarding cash and shunning small and medium-sized businesses.
Figures were skewedby mammoths Lloyds Banking Group and Royal Bank of Scotland winding down their historical loan books and Spanish giant Santander easing back on its former mortgage expansion policy.
One group undeniably hit very hard by Funding for Lending has been savers. Returns on savings accounts have dived since its launch in a race to the bottom that has seen big cuts in the best deals on offer.
We can't - no one can. But we look at overnight swap rates to work out roughly when money markets forecast the Bank Rate will start to rise from the rock-bottom level of 0.5 per cent.
This is very far from a precise business - not only do financial traders make wrong predictions all the time, but swap rates are only a snapshot of their views at a given moment in time.
The overnight swap rates move substantially. Take a look at the following chart, which appeared in the May 2013 Bank of England inflation report and illustrates interest rate projections in May compared with February. There is almost a two year gap between the outlook just a few months apart.
Please note this chart is used to illustrate market movements and is not the up-to-date outlook for rates.
Outlook: The Bank of England's May Quarterly Inflation report mapped out the market's expected path for Bank Rate.
Like the Bank of England, we use the overnight index swaps curve to look at what the money markets are predicting for interest rates, and importantly how this is shifting.
Economists also make predictions of when rates will go up, which are often quite different from those signalled by the money markets.
We frequently quote their views here too if they help shed light on the issue for readers.
You can then consider all the available information and make your own best guess on when interest rates will rise.
Swap rates and money markets vs mortgages and savings
When markets move a decent amount - and the move holds - it can affect the pricing of some mortgages and savings accounts.
When swaps price a rate rise to come sooner, fixed rate savings bonds tend to marginally improve in the weeks that follow. But it also puts pressure on lenders to withdraw the best fixed mortgages.
As for using swaps as a forecast, we've consistently warned on this round-up that they are extremely volatile and should be treated with caution - they should be used more as a guide of swinging sentiment rather than an actual prediction.
> Read the Council of Mortgage Lenders' guide to swap rates
Important note: Markets, economists and other experts haven't had a great record of making the right calls in recent years.
This is Money has always advocated caution with any sort of prediction (including our own!). There's no guarantee that those who have made correct calls in the past will make them in the future.
We'd also urge consumers not to gamble with their personal finances when it comes to predicting rate swings.
What decides rates?
The BoE's Monetary Policy Committee meets once a month and sets the bank rate. Its government-set task is to keep inflation to a 2% target (and nowadays also maintain financial stability). So if inflation looks likely to pick up, it raises rates.
Forget unemployment or the property market, it may actually end up being inflation that guides rates – low inflation that is.
Britain may suffer from a persistent inflation problem but it might be easing for now. And the US, Europe and Japan are all more worried about deflation than inflation.
With wages falling in real terms and cheap mortgage cash through Funding for Lending being cut, the Bank may decide the medicine of low rates needs to be prescribed for longer.
The Bank's move to hack back at Funding for Lending for mortgages has made it clear that switching off the cheap money being pumped into the economy is a higher priority than raising interest rates.
The fear has always been that all this cheap money will send inflation soaring above 5 per cent and then it will stick there. But while property prices and the stock market have certainly done well off the back of it, that hasn't happened in the overall economy.
There is a chance we will manage to see a better than expected recovery and low inflation at the same time.
Companies grateful for the end of the consumer recession can make more money from simply selling more stuff to more people - and may feel less pressure to raise prices than in a normal strong upturn.
An end to rising energy costs will take the heat off businesses, while a stronger pound will reverse imported inflation.
Meanwhile, very slow wage increases in the past will make even a 2 per cent pay offer look reasonable for many and slack in the employment market may discourage workers from demanding more money or companies from having to pay it.
The Bank of England is looking for any possible reason to keep rates lower for longer. Low inflation might just be it.

Australia have arrived in Nottingham with their batting order for the first Test still to be finalised. It is an unfamiliar position for a side that was once the best in the world and whose top order was pretty much set in stone.
The one certainty now is that there will be a new pair of opening batsmen. Ed Cowan, opener for the previous 17 Test matches, has been relegated with Darren Lehmann, the new coach, stipulating that Shane Watson and Chris Rogers will be at the top of the order. Cowan is pencilled in at the blue riband position of No 3, although it is not yet thought to be a done deal.
Cowan is a fascinating subject as a Test batsman, hardly in the modern mould. He finished his university education in England, worked as an investment banker and is a writer and thinker on the game who has already published a tour diary.
So far he has made 987 at an average of 32.90 and built a reputation for failing to capitalise on solid starts. Put bluntly, Cowan would have been nowhere near the Australia side that dominated world cricket during the 1990s and early 2000s.
But that should not be mistaken for a lack of ambition in the Baggy Green. He is an assiduous left-handed operator who left New South Wales for Tasmania where he flourished, hitting four hundreds in as many matches at the start of the 2011-12 season, forcing the hand of the selectors.
Cowan's opening partner in those 17 matches was David Warner and though they got on it was a fascinating combination, the one cerebral, the other rough and ready, the philosopher and the visceral.
When Cowan scored a diligent hundred against South Africa in Brisbane last November it seemed a significant breakthrough had come at last. But it has been followed by more of the same that came before – 11 scores above 20 in 17 innings, none above 86.
"It's a hard game," he said. "I think the more you play at this level the more you realise it is harder than it looks. You learn because of the variation in conditions.
"I have played in the West Indies and in India, they have been my two away trips and they're so far removed from what I am used to that your game experience explodes.
"There is now a lot less fear involved in my game plan to spin. Having not faced a lot of it in Australia I feel a new man, post-India.
"I am 31 now and I was saying to Matthew Wade in the nets 'Why didn't I learn this when I was 18?' I am still learning, albeit under pressure and intense scrutiny, but that makes the journey more enjoyable."
With this sort of character it is always interesting to hear what they plan on doing when their careers are over. "I think I'd feel guilty going back to investment banking," Cowan said. "I don't know if I have the lack of morality to shift wealth around the world. I don't know what I'll do, I plan on scoring a few more Test runs."
Cowan may well turn his hand to writing. He finds the exercise therapeutic and has pages of notes in his phone of topics he wants to cover.
"When I was writing my diary, some days I was walking on to the field, I could stop and wonder what I would get to write about today," he said.
"I would start describing my hundred before I got out. It's important when you're batting to bat, have the moment with the ball and then think of what to write. That was sometimes a nice feeling, finding descriptions of how you're feeling, then you're back batting and then you'd drift back again."
Intellectual or not, he is plainly thrilled to be in England on the verge of an Ashes series. Whether he plays or not is probably exercising his every waking moment. His experience of having already played at Trent Bridge for Nottinghamshire this season may tilt the balance in his favour.
Cowan said: "It's a cliché unfortunately but it would be a dream come true. You dream about playing in the Ashes. For me to hang on to a place for nearly two years is a dream in itself.
"Pre-tour, I spoke to Ricky Ponting and Mike Hussey, they said there's Test cricket and there is Ashes cricket. They spoke of the intensity, the atmosphere and not just for two or three days, but five days throughout a Test match and then turn up to the next venue and five days again. They said it's relentless, you will love it."
It would be a pity if Australia cannot find room this summer for this intriguing philosopher.

Green Coconut Smoothie
This product is currently sold out.
This coconut smoothie is one of the sweetest, creamiest green smoothie I've ever made. If you're new to healthy eating and want to get into green smoothies, this is the perfect place to start. The ripe banana means it doesn't taste overly green and healthy, while the coconut yoghurt makes it wonderfully thick and milkshake life. I then add spinach to up the green goodness, coconut water as a base and a little bee pollen for a delicious flavour – but if you don't have been pollen, don't worry, it will be delicious without it and you can always add a little raw honey instead.
Serves 1
– 2/3 of a mug of coconut water (200ml)
– 1 tablespoon of coconut yoghurt (I use a brand called Coyo)
– A big handful of spinach
– 1 ripe banana
– 1 tablespoon of bee pollen (optional)
Simply peel the banana then place everything into a blender and blend until smooth.

Jeremiah 29:1-2
Jeremiah 29: 1-2 Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon; 2 (After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)
Jeremiah 29:4-7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; 5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; 6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished. 7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
Jeremiah 29:10-14 For thus saith the LORD, that after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and performs my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

With their new album Random Access Memories, Daft Punk, the visionary dance-floor duo with the serious visors, has achieved the obvious and the counterrevolutionary: Dance music that is danceable and humanistic. As a comment on the record's retro fetish, someone posted on YouTube an early-seventies Soul Train moment set to the sounds of Daft Punk's sublime new single. Not that we needed the visuals to compare the Pharrell Williams-falsetto-y sex song Get Lucky to Curtis Mayfield's falsetto-y sex song Get Down, but the beat fits.
Which is really no big deal, except that the (African-American) Soul Train performers are actually moving their feet and bodies – a delighted boogie parade. Compare that to (mostly white) fans of modern EDM, who in tents and arenas pump fists and energy drinks, but whose hips remain still.
Or compare Daft Punk's disco-ball manifesto Lose Yourself to Dance to the so-called dance pop of Lady Gaga, who like so many others of her kind attaches a hard, bullying four-by-four beat to her material. If I am moved to dance to the latter, it is in the same way I might lift my feet at the prompting of a cowboy's bullets.
"The music of today is a lot of different styles, a lot of different genres generated by computers," Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, one half of the helmet-wearing Frenchmen, told National Public Radio. "And what was really lacking to us is the soul that a musician can bring." And so now we have de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, two of the original laptop auteurs, squeezing blood into the machine – their use of the dehumanizing Vocoder and talk-box effects, for example, suddenly seem quaint and ultra-human when placed next to the soulless, rampant Auto-Tune shenanigans of today.
This isn't the genre's first reboot. (If we can even call it that; young EDM audiences likely won't even hear Random Access Memories as dance music.) We should probably look back to 1996 for Fatboy Slim's Better Living Through Chemistry and his You've Come a Long Way, Baby from 1999. That latter record's chant was "right here, right now," and it sure felt that way at the time.
It wasn't just Fatboy Slim's big beats that made dance music fun. At work were classic song-writing techniques, including the affecting use of harmony. We hear the same with Random Access Memories, particularly on the parts contributed by Chilly Gonzales, one of the flesh-and-blood musicians brought in for collaboration. Gonzales, the Canadian expat pianist-producer and friend of Feist, composed and plays the elegant F-chord crossing between the album's first three songs (which are in the key of A minor) and the second three songs (B flat).
"The fact that they were asking for this musical bridge to happen just shows that they have absorbed a lot of what classical composers were obsessed with," Gonzalez says in one of a series of online videos (The Collaborators), "which is that musical key dictates so much of what someone feels."
Other humans involved are the Chic guitarist and disco super-producer Nile Rodgers, the star jazz-fusion drummer Omar Hakim, the pedal-steel guitarist Greg Leisz, and Paul Williams, the seventies songster who lends voice to the album's weird, sprawling epic Touch.
The disco vibe is suspended for the album's sore-thumb track, Fragments of Time, a tepid-but-tuneful Steely Dan jam apparently meant to invoke a Southern California/Fleetwood Mac feel. It's second-rate, in any case, but humans do make mistakes.
Other humanistic tricks include a voice-over by the Italian disco-music pioneer Giorgio Moroder (I Feel Love), who speaks about freed minds and no preconceptions on the popcorn-synthed Giorgio by Moroder. On the summer-funk glide of Give Life Back to Music, party-people chatter is dubbed, a winking nod to Lionel Richie, who used to go at it all night long.
Make no mistake, this is a party album. It is also two electronic musicians in anonymous headwear telling a story about a pair of robots trying to feel the passion of humans. It's a little cheesy at times, but the mission has to be judged as successfully completed. And if nothing else, the disco-era cliché of the abrupt and inflexible Robot should now be put into the closet. Dance music, at least for the summer, has been unstiffened.Report Typo/Error
