If the UK leaves the EU without a transition period, we expect firms, trading venues and ARMs to make reasonable steps to comply with their requirements under the Transaction Reporting Regime by exit day and any requirements they have to submit instrument reference data.
Update: 31 January 2020
The UK has left the EU. It has now entered a transition period which is due to operate until 31 December 2020.
During this time EU law will continue to apply and firms and funds will continue to benefit from passporting between the UK and EEA. Consumer rights and protections derived from EU law will also remain in place.
All MiFID systems will remain connected to ESMA during the transition period. Our new Financial Instruments Reference Data System (FCA FIRDS) will continue to publish in parallel to ESMA's systems, but should only be used by firms for testing purposes. The FCA's version of ESMA's Financial Instruments Transparency Reference System (FCA FITRS) will be suspended until further notice (we will resume FCA FITRS as appropriate closer to the end of the transition period).
This information is designed to sit alongside our statement Brexit – what we expect firms and other regulated persons to do now.
It gives a high-level overview of what firms need to do now to comply with the onshored MiFID regime as it applies to transaction reporting. It also gives more detail about our internal project timetables (including IT build) and the industry testing schedule. Check our Brexit pages for further information as it becomes available.
Except where stated otherwise, all the following information relates to a scenario where the UK leaves the EU without a transition period.
Replacing the ESMA FIRDS system for the UK
FCA FIRDS has been built to replace ESMA FIRDS in the UK.
ESMA's FIRDS system records all those instruments reported by EU trading venues as being traded on them (TOTV) and helps firms, amongst other things, determine their reporting obligations.
We will begin feeding our new FCA FIRDS with live production data from early March to ensure that we have a full database of instruments by exit day. We also intend to publish an extract of ESMA data in FCA FIRDS, given that the scope of the UK transaction reporting regime includes instruments traded on venues in the EU27, regardless of whether they are also traded on UK venues.
Firms will be able to test submitting data to the new FCA FIRDS system in the Industry Test Environment (ITE) from 21 February 2019.
Read FCA FIRDS: Instructions on access and download of full and delta reference files (PDF).
From 14 March 2019, firms will be able to test FCA FIRDS's publishing solution, which enables firms to download full and delta reference files. Find out more.
How FCA FIRDS will work
FCA FIRDS is built on the new ESMA schema. However, to take account of possible changes in ESMA's implementation timetable, the system has been built in such a way that, should ESMA's schema change be delayed, firms can continue to submit under the old schema until the new schema is introduced by ESMA. This means firms will not need to report against two different schema; for ESMA and the FCA. If ESMA moves over to its new schema for FIRDS after the UK leaves the EU, we will change our schema to coincide with ESMA's change.
Our aim is to help firms by making our system as similar as possible to ESMA's. The schema for the two systems will be identical on day one. However, some fields within the system will not work in the same way as currently. The most important of these are:
- Relevant Competent Authority (RCA) – will no longer be meaningful. The RCA field for instrument reference data submitted to us will default to GB.
- FCA FIRDS Master Data (the record of the most relevant market) is likely to be different from ESMA's, given that ESMA will use master data from EU venues.
The functionality of the search engine is comparable to ESMA's, but we will be using a different search engine, Amazon's Elastic Search.
We have considered suggestions made by firms to improve the ESMA FIRDS system by changing some fields or the reporting logic. In most cases the benefit of introducing these changes is outweighed by the uncertainty it would cause, given short timeframes. However, we will give firms more certainty around the timing of issuing delta files and full files. This will improve firms' experience of the system without deviating from ESMA's approach.
Mechanics of the switch-over and timing
Were the UK to leave the EU without a transition period, we would switch off our feeds to ESMA FIRDS on exit day. We will give more information about the switchover from ESMA FIRDS to FCA FIRDS in due course.
In the event that there is a withdrawal agreement that includes a transition period, we will publish further information on whether FCA FIRDS will be used during this period.
Were an transition period to be agreed that allowed UK firms and venues to continue to be subject to the EU transaction reporting regime, we would envisage that we would not switch over to FCA FIRDS. In this scenario, firms would continue to use the ESMA FIRDS system.
Transaction reporting
In CP18/28 we outlined some of the main changes to firms' reporting obligations under the transaction reporting regime that arise because of Brexit. For example, UK trading venues will have to report transactions carried out on their venue by EEA members except for UK branches of EEA firms; EEA firms with a UK branch operating under the temporary permissions regime will have to report relevant transactions to us under the transaction reporting regime.
We expect that firms used to transaction reporting in the UK will see very little change to the underlying mechanics of reporting or the reporting logic, which is key to achieving as smooth a transition as possible.
What firms need to do
The three main categories of firms that will need to take action to prepare for exit day are:
- All firms who want to access FCA FIRDS to support their transaction reporting obligations will need to connect (either directly or via a third party) to FCA FIRDS publication tool. The timetable for industry testing is outlined above.
- UK trading venues will need to prepare to transaction report for transactions on their venues by their EEA members (who are not operating through a UK branch), who report to their home state within the EEA and who will become third-country firms as regards the UK after the UK leaves the EU.
- EEA firms who operate through a UK branch, and who enter the temporary permissions regime, will need to begin preparations to either connect directly to the MDP or use an Approved Reporting Mechanism (ARM) to be able to transaction report to the FCA by exit day. Some firms may need to change their ARM, if their current ARM is not planning to make use of the temporary authorisation regime for EEA Data Reporting Service Providers (DRSPs) or is not connected to the FCA's Market Data Processor by exit day. A list of all ARMs authorised by us can be found on our DRSP webpage. We will update this list for EEA DRSPs that have notified us of their intention to use the temporary authorisation regime and that have onboarded to the MDP system. However, if a firm is unsure whether its ARM intends to operate in the UK after the UK leaves the EU it can also contact its ARM directly, as the ARM may be in a better position to give their clients timely information about their intentions. We would remind firms that connecting to an ARM can take several weeks so if firms are looking to make a change to comply with their UK reporting obligations they should make contact with ARMs in good time.
Firms are best placed to understand their own needs and requirements. The above list is not exhaustive of the circumstances in which actions will be needed. Each firm will need to consider whether, in the light of their own specific business model, there are actions they need to take.
We are conscious of the scale, complexity and magnitude of some of these changes and consequently intend to act proportionately. This means that, in the event that there is no transition period, we will not take a strict liability approach and do not intend to take enforcement action against firms and other regulated entities for not meeting all requirements straightaway, where there is evidence they have taken reasonable steps to prepare to meet the new obligations by exit day. Firms who are not able to comply fully with the regime at the time of the UK's withdrawal from the EU will need to be able to back-report missing, incomplete or inaccurate transaction reports as soon as possible.

"The Addams Family" by United Artists Releasing.
America's favorite creepy family returns just in time for this Halloween season with The Addams Family by United Artists Releasing. The film centers around Gomez & Morticia Addams trying to prepare for a large family event that they intend to host. If you're familiar with the characters, then you already know that madness and funny gags take form for cheap laughs. While the movie has its endearing moments, sadly there isn't enough laughs during this very thin run time.
Charlize Theron plays Morticia and Oscar Isaac plays Gomez. Both actors portray their respective roles well but unfortunately their characters play more of supporting roles to the children played by Chloe Grace Moretz & Finn Wolfhard. Chloe steals the film with her interpretation of Wednesday. Thankfully, the creators gave her character funny memorable one-liners and moments. The antagonist of the film is where the film begins to fall apart. Once her character came into the story, the film suddenly began to pull elements from Tim Burton's cult classic 'Edward Scissorhands'.
In that film we see what it feels like to be an outcast and integrate into a community. However, 'Edward Scissorhands' succeeded while this one struggles to capture that same creepy magic. Despite these issues, The Addams Family does provide fun entertainment for the whole family during this Halloween season. Be sure to stay during the end credits for a fun surprise sing-a-long of the iconic theme song.

To get at this concern, let's have a hypothetical conversation.
Scenario One:
You say, "I'm angry with God."
I say, "Hmm. What are you doing about your anger with God?"
Your answer: Silence.
I rest my case. Angry at God and doing nothing about it. That is hazardous to your heart and souring to your soul.
Scenario Two:
Let's try it again.
You say, "I'm angry with God."
I say, "Hmm. What are you doing about your anger with God?"
You say, "I am ruminating on it, fixating on it, getting more and more irritated with God about it. I am rehearsing over and over in my mind how God let me down."
I say, "That is what I am concerned about. Anger against God rarely fades away. It doesn't dissipate. It doesn't disappear. It intensifies. Because that is what anger does. If you don't bring other spiritual energies to bear against your anger, it will only grow worse. And you'll want little or nothing to do with God."
You say . . . Well, what do you say?
Scenario Three:
One more time.
You say, "I'm angry with God."
I say, "Hmm. What are you doing about your anger with God?"
You say, "I don't know what to do about my anger. Nothing seems to work."
I say, "I understand. It will take some time. You will need a renewed mind about God. You will need an enlightened heart about your experience of suffering. You will need faith, hope, and love. You'll need to learn new lessons of trust. You'll need a few good friends who will be a part of how you gain what you need. God will give you those things." Are you ready?
You say, "Okay…I think so."
In this last scenario, your anger can now become a stepping stone for spiritual growth. Depending on how dense and dark your anger is, the journey may be long, slow, deep, and difficult. But that is life in general. It is pretty much standard operating procedure for growing in maturity.
My third concern is the balance and perspective needed by the one who is angry. It isn't there with the standard advice. It is lacking. The potentially destructive energy of the darker emotions needs to be addressed, but it isn't. Anger with and at God needs to be answered with love and firmness, with wisdom and encouragement, and with the expectation of personal responsibility and social support.
The very stuff you need to encounter God is what your anger prevents. That's my concern.

Working in conjunction with Holland Landscapes we installed a 5m x 3m Onda in an Essex garden. With relatively short lead times and an installation done by lunchtime this was the perfect end to the week! Featuring a white frame and orange roof, this is set to make a statement over fantastic porcelain tiles. We can't wait to see the finished garden
Happy birthday to all at Outside Structure Solutions as we turned 10 this weekend. It has been an amazing first ten years and thank you to all our customers – past, present and future
We were approached by the Hyatt Group to supply and install two retractable canopies for a new-build residential project in Surrey. Due to the available height, it was decided that the Med Isola retractable canopy would be the best product. By choosing the side leaning option, the canopies both feature a wall mounted track and they retract from side to side leaving a large opening and un-cluttered look. The roofs are electrically operated and have been integrated into the full-house automation system by KNX. Once the roofs had been set up using a hand-held controller, operation was taken over by the KNX system which is operated using flat screens within the house. The Med Isola is part of a larger range of Gibus retractable canopies available from Outside Structure Solutions.
We will be exhibiting at IOG Saltex show again this year. Stand J29 at the Windsor Racecourse event will see us displaying three canopies. Exciting new products will be on show as well as the best-selling Med Elite retractable structure. Come and see us @the-iog 2nd to 4th September and see what we have to offer.
We are very pleased to have played a small part in the refurbishment of Coastal Bite cafe on the seafront at Southend. New owners James and Amy asked us to come and discuss some options for replacing their ageing awning which covered the outside eating area. Following discussions and a site survey they chose a Med Elite structure with a retractable roof. With vibrant colours they have managed to transform the outside of the cafe into a fantastic place to be. The inside of the cafe has had a similarly bold refurbishment and it is now the talk of the area, offering good quality food and a great atmosphere. The Med Elite has an electric roof and it is in constant use as the roofs must be retracted over-night.
Outside Structure Solutions are pleased to announce that with effect from Monday 17th March we will be moving to new premises in Sawtry. We have outgrown our current offices in Houghton and now will have all the space we need, with combined offices, storage and workshops. The new address is: Unit 16 Brookside Industrial Estate Sawtry PE28 5SB Our phone numbers will all remain the same. Don't worry if you forget the new address, all post will be redirected.
Outside Structure Solutions are exhibiting at Farm and More Stand C9 26th February at Stoneleigh Park. Please come and see us on stand C9 and discuss how we can help you make the most of your outside space.
Many thanks to all who came to visit us at the IOG Saltex exhibition at Windsor Racecourse. What a great week in the sunshine, where we showcased a Mendip and a Redwood Canopy as well as our soft-play toys. We also showcased a really exciting new partnership with KSIL play equipment.

From humble beginnings in a house basement, owners Pat McGuire and Rick Masrud have built Scenic Concepts Inc. into one of the largest companies in the nation to specialize in taking and selling aerial farm photos.
In fact, McGuire, 45, and Masrud, 48, believe it is the largest company of its kind in the United States. Since starting in 1978, the company has expanded its market to 34 states.
Scenic Concepts operates from the Scenic Center building at 115 Fifth Ave. S. in downtown La Crosse. Masrud and McGuire own the building, which was occupied by the J.C. Penney Co. department store until Valley View Mall opened in 1980. They also rent out office and retail space in the building.
Scenic Concepts has 12 pilots, 90 sales people and about 20 support people, Masrud said. Of those, three pilots, 15 sales people and the 20 support people work from the downtown office. The rest are scattered throughout the states the business covers.
The company owns some of its airplanes and leases the rest.
"We're in all the heavily populated states, all the way from New York to California, with a focus on the Midwest," Masrud said. The company doesn't send aerial photo-graphers to sparsely populated states, such as Nevada or Arizona, because there are fewer buildings to take pictures of there.
"In the future, we'll increase our pene-tration in the states we're already in," rather than go into more states, Masrud said. "That's where the expansion is coming from." Scenic Concepts has been in 34 states for the past five years.
McGuire and Masrud both graduated from Aquinas High School and have been friends since they were teens - their families had known each other for a long time. Their first business venture was painting houses when Masrud was in college and McGuire was attending Aquinas.
Before they started Scenic Concepts, McGuire was a salesman for Collins Outdoor Advertising and Masrud was a salesman for Low Motors.
"We were looking for another business to get into and decided to try this," Masrud said. "At the time, I had a hobby farm and wanted to have a picture of it. Pat would do the photography, and I would sell" the aerial photos to farm families. "We would work until midnight building frames in my dad's basement," where the business was based, Masrud said.
"Photography was a hobby for me," McGuire said. "I had enjoyed taking pictures since high school," and took a photography class at Western Wisconsin Technical College.
"We tried it and it worked," Masrud said. "We've been expanding ever since." Today, both men work full time at the downtown office. McGuire was an aerial photographer for only the first year of the business.
Scenic Concepts' customer base has changed over the years as the number of farms declined. When the business began, farms accounted for almost all of its sales. Today, farms represent about 65 percent of sales, and rural homes and businesses account for the rest.
When the company's pilots are taking pictures in a given area, they look for well-maintained properties whose owners might like to have an aerial photo. Each pilot will photograph about 200 places a day, Masrud said.
About 90 percent of the pictures are taken during the summer and fall. Most of the pilots work for Scenic Concepts for six months a year. Three pilots take pictures during the winter, when snow cover creates a different appearance.
Pilots take the pictures themselves with a hand-held camera.
The film is sent to the La Crosse office, where 16-inch-by-20-inch prints are made and put into red oak frames that are assembled there.
The framed pictures are delivered to the area's salesman, who calls on about 30 people a day. The salesman shows the framed print to the property owner and offers to sell it on the spot.
The number of people who buy the framed pictures ranges from about one in three to one in six, depending on the area, McGuire said. The salesmen don't use high-pressure tactics, he said.
Customers also can buy photo Christmas cards and photo business cards from Scenic Concepts.
"We also offer computer enhancement," Masrud said, displaying an original picture and an alternate version that showed changes made by computer. For the second picture, the paint color on a building had been changed and a strip of corn that had been harvested was put back in place to make it appear the field was untouched. "We can also close doors on buildings" through computer enhancement, Masrud said.
Scenic Concepts depends on good weather - its pilots don't take pictures when skies are overcast.
"I enjoy dealing with people," McGuire said. "We've overcome a lot of things like weather. It's nice to work with people and overcome challenges like that."
"It's something different every day," Masrud said of the business. "There's always something unique or a little different every day."

If you want a payday loan direct lender then you will have to meet some other conditions in order to still be able to get a loan. You can then quickly borrow a small amount that you must repay within a maximum of 45 days. If you want to be eligible without a payslip, it is possible to take out insurance on the application so that the company that provides the loan is sure that you can repay the amount. But there is another solution- someone guarantees you if you do not pay back the loan amount. If you have no one who can do this for you or you do not want to ask someone, then you are dependent on the guarantee that you must take out at the same time as you apply for your mini loan. There are costs involved.
As mentioned above, there is another solution to get a payday loan direct lender, you have to check out https://green-touch.org/ here. In this way, you can borrow money quickly.
If you want to take out a mini loan but you do not have a payslip then you choose the guarantee, this is an insurance policy that comes into effect when you do not pay the amount yourself. You, therefore, enter into two agreements when applying, the first is the amount you are requesting and the second is insurance. They are different companies and you have to pay two companies after approval, the mini loan and the insurance separately.
Many people wonder if they can get a mini loan if they have a negative registration with the bkr, which you can incur if you have not paid on time at a mail-order company, for another loan or your credit card. In the case of a mini loan, borrowing money without a credit card is not a problem, however, the assessment at the Credit Registration Office is not carried out. Please note that you can repay the borrowed amount on time, otherwise you will not be able to return there next time and it will then be very difficult to be able to borrow anything anywhere else.

In an attempt to bring some consistency to my blog, I'm transferring some old recipes from their own pages into blog posts. Bear with me while I get this all sorted out. Perhaps they will inspire you (or maybe me) to try these old recipes out!
The following recipe was originally posted on March 1, 2009
I came up with this recipe to create a biscotti flavour just for my sister for Christmas 2008. It turned out really well, and received rave reviews from my sister, who loves everything mint & chocolate. I've based my recipe off the biscotti recipes in the cookbook cookbook One Smart Cookie by Julie Van Rosendaal.
Double Chocolate Mint Biscotti
Makes 2 dozen biscotti
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup mint chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 2 tsp water
- 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- 2 tbsp milk
- green food colouring (optional)
- 1/2 cup min chocolate chips, melted for drizzling
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
- In another bowl, combine eggs/white, peppermint extract, and water.
- Add egg mixture along with toasted almonds to the flour mixture. Stir by hand until just combine – dough will still be a bit crumbly.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into two 8" logs. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2-3" apart. Flatten each into a rectangle approximately 3" across.
- Bake for 25 – 30 min, until firm and cracked on top. Transfer to wire rack to cool for 15 min. Reduce the oven temperature to 275 degree F.
- Slice the cooled logs diagonally into 1/2 – 3/4" tick slices with a serrated knife. Place biscotti cut side down on cookie sheet. Bake for 20 min, then turn over biscotti and bake for another 20 min. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- To make glaze, combine icing sugar, extract, milk, and food colouring (if using) in a bowl. Drizzle or brush over cooled biscotti.
- Once glaze is dried, drizzle with melted mint chocolate. Allow to harden, then enjoy!

These Chocolate Walnut Brownies are so fudgy, dense, and chocolatey that you won't believe they are sugar free, low carb and keto-friendly!
My husband, dubbed peanutbutter♥ in this blog, loves donuts. Whenever he sees these round sweet delicious things, he couldn't resist buying and having it with his coffee. Actually, he loves anything sweet with his coffee, he just loves donuts a little bit more. .. And I, well, I have a sweet tooth. Since we decided to go on a low carb, sugar free, way of eating from now on, I thought I should make more sugar-free dessert to satisfy our cravings.
Hence this Low Carb Sugar Free Chocolate Walnut Brownies.
It's my first time to try this and all I can say is that even though it's not yet perfect, I kind of liked how rich and fudgy it turned out. You may want it a bit sweeter though, and for that, you can just add a little bit more sweetener (around ¼ cup) or if you may want it more chocolatey, just add a bit more dark chocolate chips.
I used almond flour to make this brownies in order for it to be low carb and replaced sugar with Equal Gold. It's granular and it's okay to use in baking. Plus it doesn't have a bitter aftertaste. For it to be Sugar-Free, you have to use Sugar-Free chocolate chips like Lily's . I couldn't find any sugar-free chocolate chips but since I like the taste of dark chocolate, I just used Guittard extra dark chocolate chips (This is the reason why it has 3 g of sugar). The Extra dark chocolate chips worked for me because I like anything bittersweet.
Anyway, I have a new feature on the blog. I added a nutrition label on each recipe which can serve as a guide when we're trying to track down what we're eating.
- 1⅓ cup almond flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅔ cup butter
- ¾ cup sugar alternative
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup warm water
- ½ cup extra dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF and prepare a square non-stick baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix well and set aside.
- Using a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar alternative. When this has been well-combined, slowly add the almond flour mixture.
- Then add the eggs on a time. When it's mixed well, add the vanilla extract.
- The mixture will be a bit dry at this time, so add your warm water ¼ cup at a time on low speed.
- Turn off the mixer and fold the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts by hand. Transfer to your baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Do the toothpick test and if it isn't done yet, bake for 5 more minutes. Let this cool before slicing.
- In my opinion, these brownies are best served when chilled. It's more fudgy.
**Use a sugar-free chocolate chips or just omit the extra dark chocolate chips for it to have 0g of sugar
** More chocolate chips used means more melted chocolate texture

Got mussel? 1400+ inspections over Pioneer Day weekend on Lake Powell
More than 5,800 boats inspected over Pioneer Day weekend to prevent the spread of quagga mussels
SALT LAKE CITY — Law enforcement officers, biologists, and technicians for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and Utah State Parks had a busy Pioneer Day weekend working to prevent invasive quagga mussels from spreading.
A total of 5,892 boats were inspected at various water bodies and inspection stations around the state on July 27-28. More than 25% of those inspections took place at Lake Powell and its surrounding areas. Lake Powell is still the only waterbody in Utah with quagga mussels, and the increased inspections are focused on keeping the invasive species from spreading to Utah's water-delivery infrastructure and other local waterbodies.
During the inspections at three Lake Powell stations, 11 dead quagga mussels were found on boats leaving the lake. Of the 1,582 inspections done at Lake Powell and the Kanab Port of Entry stations, 138 full decontaminations were performed and 11 citations were issued. The individuals towing boats received the citations for either not stopping at the inspection stations or for transporting their boats with drain plugs still in.
"We'd like to remind everyone that this is an issue that affects every Utahn — not just boaters," Scott Dalebout, the DWR statewide operations lieutenant said. "Everyone who uses water and electricity will be impacted if these aquatic invasive species get into Utah's water infrastructure and pipelines. We need everyone to understand why quagga mussels pose a threat so they can help their friends and family members comply with these inspections."
Boaters should remember that they must receive a boat inspection before leaving Lake Powell. Visit the DWR website for a list of all the decontamination stations around the state.
Why are quagga mussels so bad?
- They plug water lines, even lines that are large in diameter.
- If they get into water-delivery systems in Utah, it will cost millions of dollars annually to remove them and keep the pipes free, which would likely result in higher utility bills.
- They remove plankton from the water, which negatively impacts fish species in Utah.
- Mussels can clog your boat's engine cooling system and damage the engine.
- When mussels die in large numbers, they stink. The sharp shells of dead mussels can cut your feet as you walk along the beaches.

Powdery shades of pink, blue, yellow and sea foam green no longer resonate as sweetly candy-coated, and demure. This season's pastel styles are clean, simplistic and sophisticated.
Boldly blazoning the runway scene as both spring and summer 2014's latest "it" color, these ice-creamy hues are the go-to palates for designers like Jason Wu and Rebecca Taylor. Saturated in pretty pastels, sharp blazers, boxy dresses and pencil skirts are nothing short of refreshingly modern. From crisply professional to tranquilly casual, be apprised that these looks are serenely polished.
The debut of airy pastel styles undoubtedly portrays a dramatic departure from the clunky weight of winter's dark woollen layers. A testament to our survival of this year's ruthless winter chill, we've certainly earned a fashion revamp that's softer on the eyes.
Despite the fact that this picture was snapped in the bitter cold of downtown New York City's early April, this Big Apple resident felt competent and eager enough to trudge out amidst the dank, heavy colors of everyone else's thick woolen coats, fully embracing calmer tints of lavender and eggshell white.
Though a bit "rough around the edges," this fellow's sartorial pastel ensemble, brilliantly contrasted by a burnt orangey leather messenger bag, conveys the sophisticated and professional role that we can anticipate pastels to play in the sweltering months of May, June and July ahead. A pristine example of how pastels are no longer to be associated with your childhood play things, this outfit is strictly made for grown-ups only.

Company Profile
The first Dean Gera salon was launched in 2007. Today, the company has established itself as the industry leader. With its headquarters and training academy situated in Malta's capital city, Dean Gera Hair Care operates through 7 salons and a day spa and boasts a team of over 40 individuals. The company's strategy is built on the foundations of teamwork and always delivering the five-star Dean Gera experience from all salons. In order to achieve its long-term vision for the brand to expand overseas and ensure its successful implementation, three strategic priorities have been identified: Train – Inspire – Outperform.
Dean Gera's Hairdressing Biography
Dean was born in 1985 into a family of hairdressers. His mother, aunt and uncle all hold prestigious names among the Maltese locals. While he was still at school, he spent his Saturdays assisting at his mother's salon, sweeping floors and offering clients teas and coffees.
At the tender age of 16, Dean took up hairdressing professionally and worked alongside his mother for four years. After developing a solid skills set, he pursued his childhood dream of working in London with a global leader in the industry. In 2005 Dean furthered his training under Trevor Sorbie in his prestigious Covent Garden salon. During this time he regularly featured in Trevor Sorbie's backstage team for international shows and seminars, working alongside Angelo Seminara, creative director for Trevor Sorbie International.
The Dean Gera brand was launched in 2007 through the Radisson Blu salon, initially operating as a sole trader with one assistant. For the next three years Dean focused on building a strong reputation and client base. The high demand for Dean Gera services propelled the opening of two new salons at the Corinthia St George's Bay and the Corinthia Palace Hotel and Spa, Attard, and by the end of 2010 the Dean Gera company was incorporated.
Since then, Dean has taken the company and the brand to new heights, becoming an industry leader and innovator.

Via Petroleum Economist:
Vitol warns on LNG production shut-ins
The trading house fears that US liquefaction plants may join the list of capacity on the side lines next year
A market's price is the function of the cost of the most expensive supply required to meet demand. A low price should indicate at least the potential that some of the highest cost supply is 'out of the money' and should either shut-in to balance the market or—if it continues producing—utilise storage infrastructure to wait for an oversupplied market to rebalance.
So, what is happening in the LNG and global gas markets, where consistently low prices suggest the highest cost producers may be facing this choice? Petroleum Economist spoke to Pablo Galante Escobar, global head of LNG trading at commodity trading heavyweight Vitol, to get his view.
We currently have low prices, but we are not seeing widespread shutdowns of production trains. So, is the market currently over-supplied? And, if so, when will it rebalance?
Galante Escobar: Obviously, the market balances through demand or supply. This year, we have had most of the balancing coming through demand. LNG arrivals in Europe are set to increase by 35mn t on last year and, in several European countries, gas has largely replaced coal. Basically, gas in Europe—aided by emissions prices—has been the preferred source of power.
But this year, we were very close to shut-ins in the US. And it is not right to say there were no shut-ins. The Indonesian government reduced exports this year on the back of low prices. In short, some of the prices that they were paying to some of the PSAs and PSCs were not good enough to justify producing those molecules.
Next year I would expect production shut-ins to continue and to spread to the US—unless we have a major issue between Russia and Ukraine on gas transit renewal when their deal expires in December. We believe that very high stocks in Europe will continue, and we may hit tank tops in the very near-term. Unless a major supply failure is seen, we do not think that even a cold winter will be enough to rescue the market next year.
I would say that the balances for LNG look very strong for the medium to long-term, but they definitely look very weak for the short-term.
We see a potential global oversupply of some 32mn t in 2020 and that will have to be balanced out by a combination of coal to gas switching and supply response. We may have production shut-ins from the US next summer, because the arbitrage economics will not justify flowing those molecules. Of course, those arbitrage economics are different for every company—some firms will see the marginal cost including shipping, some of the companies will not, and that is the same for regasification.
Given that LNG is a perishable cargo, given that storage is a challenge and given that it obviously needs more specialist infrastructure than crude and most oil products, is it fair to assume that the LNG spot market will remain a smaller part of overall movements than is the case in oil markets?
Galante Escobar: The restrictions you mention are changing. Technology is advancing, for example boil-off is being reduced significantly. Even in the last three years, technology has evolved quite a lot. There are ships now which have very close to zero boil-off because they are using the boil-off as fuel and they have re-liquefaction facilities. Most of the ships now have very insignificant boil-off numbers."Next year I would expect production shut-ins to continue and to spread to the US"
And the market always adjusts. You can see it in the current market, October to November, it pays to float. If the market is in contango, if it is asking for molecules to be stored, the spread will open to a level to pay for storage. This level might be different to crude, fuel oil, gasoline or gas, but the dynamic is exactly the same.
Will LNG spot trade remain a small niche market? I think it is quite the opposite. The world is moving into cleaner energies and LNG is the cleanest of the fossil fuels. Particularly as the world moves carbon taxation, gas should take more of a share in the power generation sector from more polluting fuels like coal, fuel oil or other liquids. Obviously, renewables have an advantage over all fossil fuels. But the technology to properly store renewables is still being developed, so gas will play a role for a long, long time. I see LNG, and gas in general, growing as a tradeable market in the next five to 10 years.
With technology advances and gas demand growth, you see no reason why LNG spot trade could not become as big a market as in other commodities?
Galante Escobar: I think it will continue to grow, definitely. Every prediction you see will tell you, just with the plants already under construction, the market will continue to grow at a very healthy rate—probably around 10pc year-on-year for the next five years. This year, even with the low prices, we have had a record for FIDs. We have already FIDs on close to 65mn t/yr of production capacity. I would bet that another 15-20mn t/yr will take FID from now to the end of the year.
I have every confidence that LNG and gas markets will be more important in the future rather than less. We see a lot of macro-funds and other financial market participants now taking a keen interest in gas in general, and LNG in particular. This is reflected in the extremely fast pace of liquidity growth in JKM derivatives—since 2015, volumes of JKM swaps being traded has more than trebled every year.
Do you think that the vulnerability of the LNG market to boom and bust cycles will decrease because each new supply or demand source that emerges will have less of an individual impact on an overall market that is expanding?
Galante Escobar: I think that is a very good point. As the market grows, the impact of one particular event, either long-term or short-term, is reduced. So, yes, those cycles should now perhaps be shallower and shorter. And we will see the same thing for small disruptions. A few years ago, the disruption of one plant was quite important on the spot market. With time, we will see disruptions becoming less important and infrastructure, storage, volume on the water, etc. will play as important a role as it does in other commodities.
Do you think that the idea that the market will just get bigger and there will be more demand is one of the things which is perhaps giving confidence to these FIDs to go forward, even though, as you say, we are in a relatively low current price environment?
Galante Escobar: There is a bit of that, and a bit of inertia as well. A lot of these projects were developed when the prices were significantly higher. However, independently of the short-term view, I think that most agree that gas is taking a bigger role and will continue to do so. People are, rightly, demanding more responsible actions [on climate challenges] from the energy industry, and gas will play a very important role.
What advantages do you think that a trading house can bring to bear on the LNG market?
Galante Escobar: First of all, we like to think that we are not only a trading house. Vitol has evolved over the last 53 years to something which some might call a 'mini-major', others would call a portfolio player, and others still would call a trading house. Perhaps we are a mix of all of those."I have every confidence that LNG and gas markets will be more important in the future"
We are producers of crude and gas in west Africa—Ghana and Nigeria— and in the former Soviet Union as well. We have six refineries with close to 500,000bl/d of refining capacity. We have 6,500 fuel stations. We have oil storage around the world. That is our model in crude and products, and I do not expect it to be anything different in LNG.
With that in mind, I see our role as a portfolio player, similar to that played by all portfolio players which are investment-grade and can manage long-term contracts. Not all companies which get called 'trading houses' are investment-grade and have the ability to move into a long-term space.
We have been in this market for 20 years and what we can add is an ability to optimise flows in a way that not all producers—who may be restricted by their supply coming from one particular location—can do; or the consumers or utilities—which have their demand in one particular place—can do. Our global portfolio allows us to optimise in a different way, similar to the way that a portfolio player like Total or BP can optimise.
We also have a good ability to manage risk. Risk in LNG could mean performance risk or credit risk. We are used to managing different types of risk and we can bring the skills that we have used in crude oil products for many years.
There is a real current enthusiasm for lots of natural sellers and natural buyers to say that they are portfolio players as well. Does that tread on your toes in terms of a business model, or is it complementary and good for the market in general?
Galante Escobar: It is a trend which is not only happening in LNG. If you look at what is happening in crude and oil products, national oil companies are setting up trading teams, so you have companies like [Saudi] Aramco or Adnoc developing trading organisations. And you have the companies which were oil traders, like Glencore, who have moved very much into having an asset base, or indeed Vitol, as I just mentioned, that now has some significant assets on our balance sheet.
I think those very definitive lines that used to exist between producer–either private or national company—consumer on the other side, and traders in the middle have become blurred, and everybody is looking to optimise.
In terms of that optimisation play, are the advantages that you, in particular, have because of your long experience magnified as the market gets more liquid? Or are there any challenges that greater commoditisation of LNG poses?
Galante Escobar: LNG moving more towards a commodity market is definitely beneficial to our skills. Not all the companies participating in the market have those skills. Other companies, though, have long-term positions and we were missing that. So that is what we have been busy with in the last three years–building a long-term portfolio.
We have now signed long-term deals with Cheniere, and with Petronas for LNG Canada. We have been supplying Komipo on a long-term basis and have recently renewed that. We have long-term positions to supply into the Indian sub-continent via different deals. We have announced long-term deals with Tellurian and Novatek.
We are catching up on the portfolio side and perhaps some of those companies which were on one side only, they are catching up on some of those trading skills and ability to manage the risk of derivatives, on the ability to optimise physical cargoes quickly. So, I think that we are all learning from each other, and the market is becoming a more tradeable, more perfect market as it evolves.
Shut-ins do not happen at low prices. They happen at really low prices for the reason that you only have to cover the cash cost of the gas, not any amortised capex cost.
In short, expect bowel shakingly low LNG prices in 2020 and the same for thermal coal.
Except in Straya, of course, where the gas shortage will persist.

Although I am obsessed with travelling and adventures, a hobby known to involve facing heights at one point or another, I'm a total heights phobe. I can't go on the Brighton i360 and haven't changed tube trains at Westminster underground station in years as the futuristic-like escalators scare me to death.
Oh, and I once had to be rescued by a sympathetic tourist as I froze to the spot, white-faced and sobbing in the middle of the Millennium Bridge. Crossing bridges, my heart pounds, my legs turn weak, I go dizzy, and feel the urge to lie down in case I involuntarily throw myself off. Irrational, I know. Sometimes I'll have to hold my friends' hands; I've even asked strangers to help me across when I'm caught out with no other option!
So you can imagine my reaction when when I saw this terrifying video of people crossing a glass-bottomed suspension bridge in China. OMG! Dan told me not to watch it but curiosity got the better of me…
Pssst. Fancy dinner in the sky? (I'll watch from below…)

*Use a white noise machine - White noise machines can be very helpful at drowning out the noise from the outside world. Barking dogs, street noise and loud household appliances can all wake a sleeping child in the early morning hours when he is in a lighter stage of sleep.
*Keep your child's room dark - Keeping out the bright morning sun is very helpful in ensuring your little one is not waking with the roosters.
*Make sure your child's crib/bed is conducive to sleep - If your child's crib/bed is filled with fun toys she is likely to start playing vs. try to soothe herself back to sleep.
*Make sure your child's bedtime is not too late - Going to bed overtired is the number one reason little ones wake up early. Try moving your child's bedtime earlier in small increments (say 15 minutes) and see what happens.
*Make sure your baby is not hungry - If you have a little one under 12 months and you are in the process of night weaning you want to make sure you are giving your little one time to adjust & you also want to make sure that she is taking in more milk during the day. It is always a good idea to consult your pediatrician when weaning for individualized support.
*Try to not overstimulate your little one - Unnecessary early morning check-ins with your little one can end up being more disruptive than helpful. Try to keep interactions to a minimum at this time.
*Your child is going through a developmental milestone - If your child is in the middle of a developmental milestone, he may have some minor sleep interruptions. These interruptions should be temporary if you stay the course. Allow your child plenty of time during the day to work on his new skill.
*Use a wake-up light - If you have an older toddler you can consider using a wake-up light to let him know when it's time to get out of bed.
