Housing Market is Stabilizing
Experts are saying that after a decade of a repeating bubble-and-bust cycle, the housing market is stabilizing with supply and demand. This means that prices are going up at an acceptable rate which is good news because the volatility was not good for the economy.
In 2015, home prices hit numbers last witnessed at the peak of the housing bubble. This was after 4 years in a row of increases. In fact, the median went above $600,000 for the 1st time in 8 years.
Specifically, at the end of 2015, median home prices were up over $187,000 from the worst part of the recession. This helped those who purchased homes 2 or 3 years ago to see gains from the market. In fact, as an example, a 2-bed, 2-bath home in Sane Juan Capistrano that was purchased for $475,000 in mid 2013 would now be worth at least $70,000 more (According to Zillow/Redfin). Even bigger jumps were seen in The City of Orange where the average home increased in value by over $130,000.
Another good sign of stabilization is that foreclosures, short sales, and bank-owned homes have nearly disappeared. In Orange, 1 in 8 homeowners lost their homes during the depression, so this turnaround is very encouraging. Overall, its safe to say that the housing market is doing better and experts predict it will only improve over the course of 2016.
Thank you for reading our latest article. If you, or someone you know, are thinking about buying a home or selling a house, then please do not hesitate to contact us The Wise Team. We can be reached by calling 714-698-WISE (9473).

Appearance: Pale rose gold
Nose: Fresh with an immediate coastal familiarity. The youthful nose has structured malt and honey which mingles with a floral overtone all seemingly pinned down by a cork-wood wrapped in banana leaf with a light drizzling of vanilla infused caramel.
Palate: At first quite creamy then quickly develops some good spice of mace and nutmeg mixed in with the honey found in the aroma. There is a tropical fruitiness mid palate which never becomes too prominent, instead being overruled by well structured vanilla and oak.
Finish: Lots of delicious vanilla and a final hint of sea salt caramels.

Nothing is more comforting that the gift of friendship when the storms of life rage. The concept of a "storm sister" is immediately clear to women, and the response is either the joy of experiencing that kind of relationship or the longing to experience it. Publishing veteran Afton Rorvik paints a beautiful picture of the characteristics of a friendship that is there in all seasons of life, including storms. Through poignant personal stories and the stories of others, Afton covers topics as diverse as resisting the urge to "fix" a friend's problem, rejoicing with those who rejoice, and the fine art of listening well.

Nelson Arriaga ran a red light with his dump truck, colliding with a car driven by 16-year old Hana Poole. Poole was sent to the hospital after becoming entrapped in her vehicle.
GULF BREEZE— A teenage girl was sent to the hospital after her car was hit by a dump truck.
Nelson Rivera Arriaga, 63, of Navarre was driving a dump truck east as he approached the traffic signal at the intersection of U.S. Highway 98 and Nantahala Beach Road.
Arriaga ran through the red light causing the front of his dump truck to collide with the driver's side of a Chevrolet 4D driven by Hana Lynn Poole, 16, of Gulf Breeze.
Poole was traveling northbound at the intersection and became entrapped in her vehicle at the time of the crash. After Poole was removed from the vehicle, she was flown to Pensacola Children's Hospital. She was later released from the hospital with no major injuries.
Arriaga, who was uninjured in the crash, was charged with violation of a traffic control device.

CREATE VIEW statement is used to create a virtual table in the database.
view_definition : CREATE [OR REPLACE] VIEW view_name [ (column_name_list) ] AS query_expression [ WITH CHECK OPTION ]
This clause forces dropping of an existed table with the specified name and then new empty table will be create as specified. So effectively this is the same as
ATTENTION: 'CREATE OR REPLACE' will destroy all sub-objects of the existed view, such as triggers, constraints. If you need preserve sub-objects, use ALTER VIEW command.
If table do not exists, then nothing happens.
NOTE: 'OR REPLACE' syntax Valentina have take from Oracle/Postgre world.
The IF NOT EXISTS option allows you supress the error message in case if such view already exists. This makes it much easier to perform SQL dumps without interruption.
NOTE: 'IF NOT EXISTS' syntax Valentina have take from mySQL world.
Specifies the name of new view. A view belongs to a database. Tables and Views share the same namespace within a database, so a database cannot contain a table and a view that have the same name.
Views must have unique column names with no duplicates, just like base tables. By default, the names of the columns retrieved by the SELECT statement are used for the view column names. To define explicit names for the view columns, the optional column_list clause can be given as a list of comma-separated identifiers. The number of names in column_list must be the same as the number of columns retrieved by the SELECT statement.
Columns retrieved by the SELECT statement can be simple references to table columns. They can also be expressions that use functions, constant values, operators, and so forth.
Specifies a SELECT statement that provides the definition of the view.
WITH CHECK OPTION clause can be given for an updatable view to prevent inserts or updates to rows except those for which the WHERE clause in the select_statement is true.
CREATE VIEW wMale AS SELECT * FROM tblPerson WHERE fldGender = 'M';

£1K to invest? I'd buy this FTSE 100 income and growth champion today
If you have £1,000 to invest today, but don't know where to start, I think Schroders (LSE: SDR) could be an excellent opening stock for your portfolio.
One of the reasons why I think this business is such a good investment is it's one of the few companies in the FTSE 100 still majority-owned by its founding family. Schroder family's investment vehicles own just under 50% of the company's voting shares
The family's interests are represented on the company's board by Leonie Schroder, appointed after the death of her father in February, becoming the fifth generation to sit on the board since Schroders was founded in 1804.
Growing business
Over the past 215 years, Schroders has grown from a small family business into one of the world's largest asset managers with £424bn of investors' funds under management and administration (FuMA) at the end of 2018.
In my opinion, this wouldn't have been possible without the Schroder families input. The majority ownership of the business means management can concentrate on growing the company for the long term, rather than chasing short-term profit targets.
Thanks to its wider perspective, growth has accelerated over the past six years as investments in areas such as customer service have paid off. Net profit is up 43% since 2013 and management has increased the per share dividend payout by around 100%. City analysts are expecting further growth in the years ahead with net profit expected to grow approximately 20% between now and 2020.
The one negative I see here is the stock's valuation. Shares in Schroders are currently dealing at a forward P/E of 15. However, considering the asset manager's historical growth, substantial brand value and family ownership, I think this is a price worth paying for what I believe is one of the best-managed companies in the FTSE 100 today. At current levels, the stock supports a yield of 3.8% as well.
Business transition
Another City stalwart with a storied history that could be an exciting addition to your portfolio today is Charles Stanley (LSE: CAY).
The business is currently in the middle of a substantial overhaul, moving away from low-margin execution-only share dealing and growing out the firm's discretionary management services, which have higher profit margins.
So far, the results of this strategy have been mixed. All evidence points to the fact that discretionary FuMA are growing, but outflows from other lines of business are offsetting some of the improvement and restructuring costs are weighing on profits.
Indeed, at the end of March, the company reported discretionary FuMA of £13.1bn, up 6.5% year-on-year, although overall FuMA increased just 1.3% to £24.1bn. This trend has continued, according to the firm's latest trading update for the three months to the end of June 2019. At the end of the second quarter, FuMA totalled £24.4bn, up 1.2%. Investment performance of £0.9bn offset net outflows of £0.6bn.
Charles Stanley expects to incur £9.5m of restructuring costs over the next two to three years, which will weigh on profit growth this year. Analysts are expecting profits to remain flat at 16.2p per share, putting the stock on a forward P/E of 17 at the time of writing.
This could be a bit pricy for some investors. But if the firm's restructuring does start to yield results, it could be a price worth paying.

President Trump On Whether He Holds Vladimir Putin Responsible For Election Meddling! "I Would, Because He's In Charge Of The Country"
President Trump told "CBS Evening News" anchor Jeff Glor Wednesday it's "true" Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election, and he "would" hold Russian President Vladimir Putin responsible for interference. The president's comments come after his widely criticized press conference with Putin in Helsinki, Finland, on Monday, in which Mr. Trump appeared to say he had no reason to believe Russia interfered.

A lack of trained skin specialists is having a huge impact on acne patients, says a leading dermatologist.
Dr Tamara Griffiths says out of 800 positions, more than 200 are unfilled and it's been getting worse over the past decade.
She says it's causing long waits for people wanting to get treatment.
Newsbeat has also been told that financial pressures on the NHS are making it harder for those with acne to get seen by a dermatologist.
"It is extremely frustrating that we can't serve our patient population as well as we would like," says Dr Griffiths.
BBC Advice has help and information if you are affected by acne.
Watch the Radio 1 iPlayer documentary, Me, My Spots and I
Speaking on behalf of the British Association of Dermatologists, she says the lack of skin specialists is part of a bigger problem.
"If you look at the wider workforce crisis in the NHS, there are more unfilled GP posts and more unfilled acute medicine posts.
"Dermatology doesn't live within a bubble because we're connected to the rest of medicine and these are huge issues."
Dermatologists are trained to be able to prescribe stronger treatments such as Roaccutane, as well as detect signs of the psychological impact of acne.
"The real issue with skin disease, acne included, is that it may not be life-threatening but it certainly can be life-ruining," she says.
Katie Snooks, 28, says she has suffered with acne for 10 years and it dominated her life.
She's a YouTuber and she's made many videos about dealing with the condition.
"I tried five different antibiotics, I even tried light therapy but none of them worked," she explains.
For her, effective treatment only came when she was prescribed Roaccutane.
"The success rate is high but it's also hard to get because you can't get it from a GP and it took me a couple of years to get referred to a dermatologist," says Katie.
Official figures reveal the number of patients with acne being sent to see a dermatologist in England has more than doubled over the past five years.
It has gone from 2,436 cases in 2010-11, to 6,383 in 2015-16.
Similar data isn't available for Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales.
Dermatology outpatient cases have risen in Wales over a similar time frame, with 181,156 in 2015-16, up from 169,815 in 2011-12.
Dr Griffiths says that "public awareness" and a desire for skin "perfection" are some of the reasons as to why England's dermatologists have seen this increase.
"More people are aware of skin disease and it's something everyone can see on themselves," she says.
Jessica Taylor has had acne since she was 12 and she's now 22.
"It's worse on my shoulders and it does go down my back as well," she says.
"It means I have to be careful about what tops I wear because I don't want to reveal it too much."
Acne symptoms range in severity from person to person.
"If your acne is relatively mild, or it's not affecting you psychologically that much, you could see the pharmacist, try some of the over-the-counter treatments," says Dr Griffiths.
She acknowledges there could be a "long wait" for someone with more severe symptoms, who wants to see a specialist.
"My message to the individual acne patient is stand up for yourself and get yourself treated," she says.
What the devolved UK health regions say
Health Education England
"We are aware that employers report current shortages in this specialty. The dermatology consultant workforce is growing steadily as a result of investment decisions made prior to the creation of Health Education England."
Scottish Government
"We recognise that acne can be a distressing condition for many young people. There is a range of support and treatments available on the Scottish NHS."
Welsh Government
"We are working with the NHS to improve dermatology services in Wales, to ensure that all young people who need it can access high-quality dermatology services when they need them."
Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Board
"The majority of positions for consultant dermatologists in Northern Ireland are currently filled and we continue to provide the full range of dermatology services to patients across Northern Ireland."

Skip the line Eiffel Tower Tours – Don't waste time on line
We don't like to spend our valuable time standing in line in Paris. That's why we book skip-the-line tours every time we can. The Eiffel Tower is the world's most visited monument with some of the longest lineups— something more than 9 million people go up the tower a year. It's better to sign up for a skip-the-line trip rather than spending hours in a queue.
Contents Index
Eiffel Tower Skip-the-Lines Tours
See what we mean by looong lines? Instead of standing in it, imagine meeting your guide at the base of the tower, walking right past the long line, and catching the elevator up the Eiffel Tower. There you have plenty of time to take great photos of the breathtaking cityscapes from this vantage point.
At the end of the guided part of the tour you'll be on Level Two. On tours that include summit access your guide will hand you a ticket to the other elevator that takes you to the top of the tower, Level Three, although for many people getting to Level Two is all they want.
Once at the summit you can spend as much time on Level Three as you like. Take in the view and admire your new favorite city while sipping on a glass of champagne. That's right, there's a champagne bar at the top of the Eiffel Tower! Is it any wonder we love Paris?
With the Eiffel Tower being so popular, skip-the-line tours tend to sell out and the availability varies. The best way to make your skip-the-line plans is to peruse the two lists of Eiffel Tower tours (links below) to find one that available for your dates. Another thing to keep in mind is that the Eiffel Tower only makes tickets and passes available three months in advance. So you many have to wait until March 1 (for instance) to book a skip-the-line tour for June 1.
Even Better! VIP Tour + Champagne Cruise
Out of all the activities we've done that include the Eiffel Tower, this is one of our favorites. Imagine yourself at sunset, on a Seine River cruise, sitting in reserved seats at the front of the bateaux, sipping champagne, watching the magical lights of Paris glide by.
Then you disembark near the foot of the Eiffel Tower for a guided, skip-the-line VIP tour of the first two levels. Your guide leads you directly to the priority access and up the elevator. Finish the evening viewing the lights of Paris for as long as you like. Man, it was worth it!
Eiffel Tower Illuminations Tour
You may like this nighttime illuminations tour even better. Here's how it goes —
- Step 1: meet your guide at the base of the Eiffel Tower at dusk, as the sun is setting.
- Step 2: with your priority tickets you skip the line as your guide takes you to the first level while telling you Insider stories about the 130-year-old tower.
- Step 3: take in the magnificent view of the lights of Paris from the second level.
This tour is only available one or twice a week, so you really need to plan ahead to book it.
Eiffel Tower – How to get in there
Boat, bus, bike or Metro — there are many ways to get to the Eiffel Tower. Here are a few Metro tips:
- Metro: Bir-Hakeim. This line runs above ground so you get another view of the tower as you cross the Seine.
- Metro: Alma-Marceau. You arrive on the Right Bank next to Princess Diana's de facto memorial flame and cross the Seine on the Pont d'Alma. It's a short but breathtaking stroll along the Seine to the Tour Eiffel — especially at night when the tower is lit up.
- Metro: Trocadero. Arrive across the river at the Trocadero plaza where you get the best view of the Eiffel Tower. Then cross the bridge and you're there.
Where to Stay in Paris
There's a massive choice, and prices are generally reasonable considering this is a capital city. We'd advise picking somewhere within easy walking distance of a metro so that you can easily get around all the sights in this itinerary.
Our favourite way to find the best deals on accommodation is to book directly on the hotel website. usually have the best rate available thanks to our collaborators that feeds us with Exclusive and live Promo and deals.

Five Tips for Building a Reputation and Standing Out
Amanda Williams shares her tips for PR success at the Making Headlines Workshop.
In the lead up to the 2013 Federal election, I was introduced to an icebreaker called the 'assumption game' at a political campaign training session at Parliament House.
To this day I continue to put it to good use (we've had four Prime Ministers since then!)
In a former life, I spent six years as a political media advisor before moving on to start my own communications agency Yellowpanda. These days I keep busy between serving my clients, starting a swimwear company and facilitating workshops and training for start-ups and SMEs.
I start every workshop and training session with the assumption game.
What is the assumption game?
I ask the people in the room to sit next to a complete stranger and write down the answers to the following questions:
- What car do they drive?
- Did they go to University?
- Where were they born?
- Are they single or in a relationship?
- What's their favourite food?
When everyone starts to share their answers, we find out the room is full of mind readers… well not exactly.
You see, the whole time they thought they were playing a guessing game. They were trying their hardest to get maybe one or two things right about the stranger next to them.
The thing is, despite the odd fluke, most people have no idea who the person is sitting next to them.
I use this to highlight the importance of telling your story – it prevents people from just making it up!
What does this have to do with PR?
Public Relations is the professional maintenance of your brand's positive public image. A strategic PR campaign can, (and often does), support the entire guest journey from a pre-prospect through to a happy and loyal brand advocate.
The tools of the marketing and PR trade have changed. The lines have now blurred. Success comes from thinking like a journalist and publishing amazing content that brands you as an organisation or person you would want to do business with.
A well-placed editorial piece, a targeted blog post, a special event or a social media campaign can all help generate a 'need' for what your brand offers; it also has an important role to play in the discovery phase of a customer who has started doing their own research and due diligence.
My top 5 Tips
1 – Identify your "key messages" and use these messages consistently – it doesn't matter if you feel like a broken record repeating yourself, chances are your audience is hearing them for the first time.
2 – Create your own content for self-publishing as well as pitch newsworthy story ideas to targeted media contacts – It's 2018, you are the CEO of your own media company, gone are the days when you only had a newspaper to get in front of people!
3 – Come up with unique publicity stunts and events to build awareness about who you are and what you do – at the same time this gives you the opportunity to build your own community.
4 – Commit to a monthly editorial plan and stick to a consistent post schedule to build trust with your audience.
5 – Be yourself, it's your biggest asset – if you feel like you're lacking confidence, just remember the one thing that you know that no one else knows is between your own ears, you have something special to share with the world so don't hold back!

Rainhill Sixth Form uses the Gatsby Benchmarks as a guide to plan our Pathways and Enrichment programme – The Supercurriculum.
We understand that from January 2, 2018 the Baker Clause, inserted within the Technical and Further Education Act, came into enforcement meaning it is now statutory for all local authority-maintained schools and academies to allow education and training providers the opportunity to talk to pupils about approved technical qualifications and apprenticeships.
Rainhill Sixth Form has close relationships with employers, apprenticeship providers and establishments which provide technical qualifications post 18. Over the past two Academic years, we have welcomed the following providers to work with our students:
- Balfour Beatty Construction;
- Barclay's Bank;
- Mercers Actuaries;
- United Utilities;
- Manchester Metropolitan University to discuss Degree Apprenticeships;
- St Helen's Chamber;
- Apprenticeship Hub – Liverpool;
- Waterside Training;
- BAE systems;
Alongside this, annually, we extend the offer to all Year 13 students to attend the National Apprenticeship Exhibition (in Manchester or Bolton) where they can access a number of apprenticeship providers in a careers fair set up. This trip is run in the October of Year 13.
Clear Arrangements in place to allow providers access
Further, the Baker Clause states that schools must have clearly stated arrangements in place to ensure that all pupils have opportunities to hear from providers about post-18 options at, and leading up to, important transition points.
Rainhill Sixth Form annually publish a calendar for CEIAG and also the Supercurrciulum via the website and in paper form which allows for pupils, parents, local and national employers and the public to access this information at any point in time. The CEIAG plan follows the Gatsby benchmark framework and the Supercurriculum plan further supports this.
The stable careers programme is planned in advance of the Academic year and over the past two Academic years has seen partnerships/opportunities with:
- Balfour Beatty Construction;
- Barclay's Bank;
- Mercers Actuaries;
- United Utilities;
- Manchester Metropolitan University to discuss Degree Apprenticeships;
- St Helen's Chamber;
- Apprenticeship Hub – Liverpool;
- Waterside Training;
- BAE systems;
The current Gatsby framework CEIAG plan can be accessed at: https://www.rainhillsixthform.... note, as this plan is published in the September of the Academic year, it is subject to change as providers needs or students' needs evolve throughout the year.
Policy statement outlining how providers can access, rules and what to expect
The Baker Clause also states that all schools must also publish a policy statement outlining how providers can access them, the rules for granting and refusing access, and what providers can expect once granted access.
Our policy for this is outlined below:
How providers can access Rainhill Sixth Form
In the first instance, requests by providers should be sent to the Key Stage 5 Progression Mentor, Miss Joanne Morrell via email: email@example.com Providers must allow for 6 weeks lead time where possible.
The rules for granting and refusing access:
All requests from providers will be considered by the Progression Mentor, the Director of Sixth Form and Rainhill High School SLT. The plans will be evaluated in light of:
- Staffing availability to support the activity;
- Clashes with other planned activity, trips or visits;
- Value for money and added value to the students involved;
- Interruption to preparation for examinations;
- Rooming and space availability to host the activity.
- What providers can expect once granted access:
Providers can expect:
An assignment to, and regular contact with, the Progression Mentor to arrange and confirm plans before the day;
The use of the Sixth Form Study Area, appropriate classrooms or the Conference room;
Access to the Sixth Form's AV and other specialist equipment to support provider presentations plus technical support from our ICT technicians if needed. This will all be discussed and agreed in advance of the visit with the Progression Mentor;
To have their literature displayed in the careers library if they wish post-the event and also support to follow up if needed via the Progression Mentor.

We have been onto Optus to get our internet to work.
They have tried everything online and still no internet.
Telstra have fixed the phone and that works fine but we still cannot get our internet, it just won't connect on DSL.
What do we do now ? We are new tenants and the previous tenants had internet so why can't Optus give us internet.
Every time we call we get passed from one person to the next and still no Internet. We had the Optus technician on the phone at last and he couldn't get us online either.
So what do we do now ? Does this mean we can't have Internet here ? Or is it just an Optus issue ? ?
We are so baffled to what we are to do. We were Optus customers in Sydney and went with Optus again but I think this is a big mistake as it's been weeks and still no internet.
Is there anyone there at Optus that can help us get connected and follow through.
We are suppose to be with you for two years and was told we'd have to pay an exit fee if we left, he'll we can't even get online and Optus want to charge us to leave when you cannot even get us online.
We are so disappointed and we are list to what we are to do. Anybody at Optus can actually fix the problem for us ? Please !
Hi Allan, very sorry for the late reply to your post.
Can only imagine how frustrating that this would've been for you 😞
Is it now up and running? If not, please PM me with your username/account number so I can run a few tests on our end - alternatively, if you have any fault ref #'s I'd be happy to chase it up for you.
Hi, you have no idea of the problems I've had with Optus. The call centre people put me through person after person, nothing ever got done, everyone said they would call me back, no one ever did. They promised I'd have internet, never did get it, they promised to send out technicians but they never showed up, yes never showed up, was promised between 7am-12midday but sat here all day and no one showed up, no phone call, nothing ! I called Optus to complain and was put through from person to person, still no one at Optus could tell me why the technician didn't even show up. The Optus operator again said he could book a technician to come to see me in 4 working days time, I said this is not good enough, I have been waiting for internet 3 weeks and your technician didn't show up and you want me to wait another 4 working days
and what if he don't show up ? The operator said he can't confirm whether he will show up ? ? really ? you ask me to wait again for a technician in another 4 working days and he again may not show up ?
I had enough I said, so unprofessional ! In Sydney where we were your loyal customers of Optus never had this kind of treatment, moved to Qld and treated So bad ! Very disgusting customer service ! I think any customer of Optus moving to Qld is going to have the same problem, don't go with Optus, they promise the world but cannot deliver simple internet when you move.
So we never got internet, gave up ! So we don't have any internet at all, looking for a new provider that can give us internet. We are not in the outback, just down the road from Surfers Paradise so why Optus can't get their technician to come here blows me away. Optus you are loosing great customers with your terrible customer service !

The Dodd-Frank Act responded to public criticism that the federal consumer credit protection laws were not vigorously enforced by the banking regulators, by creating a new independent watchdog for that purpose housed within the Federal Reserve. It was widely believed that the banking regulators had not provided sufficiently vigorous enforcement of consumer credit protection laws, and that it was this lack of oversight that led to the explosion of subprime mortgages and ultimately to the collapse of the housing market. With the goal of eliminating risk in the financial system and improving consumer protection, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is charged with oversight of financial products and services providers, including banks and non-banks, as well as mortgage and student loan lenders, captive finance companies, payday lenders, and credit card companies. Notably excluded from the CFPB's oversight responsibility are auto dealers, real estate brokers, and financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion.
The CPFB will have supervisory powers as well as broad rule-making powers with the responsibility to protect consumers against unfair, deceptive, or abusive financial products, acts or practices, and to enforce compliance with existing consumer protection laws such as TILA, ECOA, RESPA, EFTA, GLBA, HMDA, the SAFE Act, and others. Its responsibility extends to data privacy and information security issues in connection with financial products and services. It was Congress' intent for the CFPB to act swiftly to curb emerging practices it believes may be harmful to consumers. It has been charged with closely monitoring the financial services markets, and has been given broad rulemaking authority to regulate and prohibit products and services before they spread throughout the country or become large enough to adversely impact the economy.
The concept of "unfair and deceptive acts and practices" mirrors Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and the CFPB will likely look to the FTC's precedent for rulemaking and enforcement activity. However, the additional concept of "abusive" acts is new and has no actual precedent in the realm of financial products and services regulation. One point of guidance may be the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule which prohibits not only deceptive telemarketing practices but also those that are "abusive." The Rule describes particular practices it deems abusive, such as requesting or receiving payment of any fee in advance of obtaining a loan or other extension of credit when the seller or telemarketer has guaranteed or represented a high likelihood of success in obtaining the loan.
It is expected that the CPFB will closely mirror the FTC's use of its Section 5 authority to regulate the consumer finance market. The CPFB will not interfere with state consumer protection efforts, and individuals, state Attorneys General, and state legislatures may still pursue measures to provide protection in the area of financial products and services.
As with any legislation of this magnitude, the devil is in the details. The regulations as ultimately finalized will establish the extent to which the CFPB will control the future development and delivery of financial products and services. It is incumbent upon large and small institutions, nonbank financial services providers, and consumers to engage in the rulemaking process to be certain that the views of all constituencies are aired as this national debate on the future of the financial services industry takes place.

Shortly after being named the app of the year by both Google Play and the iOS App Store, Prisma Labs announced plans today to launch Prisma Feed, a location-based way to view photos that functions inside the Prisma app.
"A shared artwork can only be seen by people nearby," said a statement shared with VentureBeat by Prisma. "Every like spreads the post further increasing its range of appearing on people's feed. Theoretically, a user can post a picture, get likes, and watch his or her post spread and cover the whole world."
Photographers who take popular photos will get more reach for future photos, allowing the most popular photographers to gain in reputation. A map can be used to check trending or recent photos from around the world.
Other changes coming to the Prisma app include full-screen photography and the ability to publish photos in dimensions beyond a 1:1 square.
Prisma uses artificial neural networks to manipulate photos to look like a Picasso painting or other unique style.
Since its launch on iOS in June, Prisma has been downloaded more than 70 million times, and it has evolved from just a photo app to being able to manipulate videos and Facebook Live video. (Live for Prisma was shut down by Facebook — after the launch of Facebook Live on Prisma last month, Facebook revoked access to the Live API.)
Prisma Labs has faced competing video products from Google, Facebook, and Artisto. Last month Algorithmia released tools for developers to create their own neural network-driven styles.

running my fingers over the colours all lined up so perfectly straight like an extended rainbow. I'd forgotten that big part of my childhood – the colouring. Absorbed in colour. I don't remember anyone trying to get me to do that. I would then draw circles and colour in segments, not so dissimilar to what have been doing now. That was a spontaneous remembering. We don't consciously live our lives remembering do we? I wouldn't thread it through like that. You just keep living.
I'm an outsider in art. By which I mean, I haven't been trained. I haven't been to art school for a degree. I'm
Cambridge and Oxford educated and I have another degree in creative writing. All that I left behind when I took up painting. I believe the brush marks I make are basic marks we have done ever since the human spirit has picked up pigment. It is satisfying visually – whatever that means – and has been for centuries and thousands of years if you go back to cave and rock art. I'm talking spirals, circles, dots, elliptical marks. Where do they come from?
I used visual process to work out my black spots. As my friend Cornelius went through his cancer, in those three weeks he spent in a flat in Hammersmith slipping ever more from this world – I painted him going towards the light. He got further and further away and as he did so I kept painting portals, tunnels, light, energy. I'm not sure I was even aware of it, truly.
Then Cornelius died, and I kept painting. I painted a series of portals – like yonis, like squares – something so satisfying about that shape – again, mystically speaking perhaps they are I suppose like meditative shapes, like the mandala. By the end of the year I was playing with collage and triptych. With my work you need to ask why does it please you, why is it satisfying? There's something going on with the eye, the visual encounter, my spirit meeting the viewer. This last piece that I painted consciously mourning Cornelius was a triptych. It is abstract on one level but has entry points. There's a lot of metallic paint – by association metal paint – gold and bronze pigment – is religious, and religion, it's the church, it's Byzantine, it's icons. Lustre and gold is always God. The painting is contemplative. It is quiet but boom-booming at the same time. It has a presence.

Hello, everyone! Am I the only one who is glad the holidays are over? Even my apron strings are exhausted. I hope you all had a wonderful season that was even better than expected, and all hangovers are done and over with.
Did you eat your black-eyed peas and cabbage at the local watering holes? Boy, that cabbage was good; I'm glad Beano was available as needed.
Many times you have read in this column, "Get out the old iron skillet!" But how many of you know how to season and maintain one? I know my mom and grandmother would throw a hissy fit if I "worsted" her skillet in soap, or left it to soak. Here's how to properly season your cast iron skillet. Stay with me, now.
Preheat oven to 300 to 325 degrees. Place a cookie sheet or a large piece of foil on the bottom rack of your oven to catch drippings. On top of the stove, warm skillet over medium heat. Using paper towels, lube that skillet up, inside and out, with a very thin coat of vegetable oil, shortening, lard, or bacon grease. Place in the oven. After about one hour, turn off the oven and let it cool down. Then repeat the entire process.
Next, wash the skillet in hot water with a stiff sponge. If that does not do the trick, put some coarse Kosher salt in the skillet and scrub around with sponge. No metal, and no dishwasher. If you buy a skillet and it says it is already pre-seasoned, that's the only time you should wash it like your other pots and pans. But not in the dishwasher! Rinse very well. Dry the skillet very well every time to avoid rusting.
So easy! And the more you use your skillet, the better it will get.
Now you deserve a treat. Here's a recipe for an old-fashioned snack cake that has been around for generations. It also makes a great on-the-run breakfast.
8 tablespoons butter
½ cup of sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
¾ cup slivered almond
3 eggs, beaten
1½ teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon rum
½ cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously coat a standard muffin tin or a couple of the mini pans with cooking spray. Melt butter in a small saucepan until it foams and turns nut-brown in color; set aside to cool. Place sugars and almonds in a food processor or blender; chop up for approximately one minute, place in a medium-sized bowl. Add eggs, extract, rum, and browned butter; stir until combined. Fold in egg mixture, then flour, salt, and baking powder. Beat with a whisk or an old wooden spoon. Scoop a couple of tablespoons of batter into the muffin tins, filling them about three-quarters full. Jiggle the pan gently to settle batter. Bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes until just browned, or until it passes the toothpick test.
