Me and My Yard
I have been riding for over 20 years in a number of disciplines.
I first started off with my pony at the Woodland Pytchley Pony Club, quite often out competing in teams and area events.
I then began hunting with the Woodland Pytchley and found myself out every Saturday with them until I then began hunting with the Fernie. This is when I started riding and bringing on young, unexperienced horses. Along side hunting, I also progressed in British Eventing up to Novice Level on a horse I produced myself. I have experience with racehorses as I have pre-trained a number of clients and trained my own.
Having been based in Brigstock for four years I am now based in Pipewell, with a yard providing me with excellent facilities, and great access to the local hunts.
I can provide any number of references from previous clients and non-clients.

The reason for choosing Printful was to be able to deliver products in a timely fashion and also deliver a quality product that I could be proud of.
Kirsten TrancheffVastitch
Our demand outstripped our ability to produce
Previously, in many cases, our demand far outstripped our ability to produce and we found ourselves either with insufficient supplies of blank shirts or prints that resulted in significant delays. Printful has allowed us to tap into economies of scale we wouldn't have access to without significant investments in stock and machinery.
Dean MalkaSwish Embassy

Printful puts it all in a one-stop shop that really gets it done and allows you to have that freedom to start and hit the ground running.

Recent articles about the roles and relationships of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 and transforming growth factor-beta I in various types of normal tissues and malignancies give rise to the question: 'Is there a relationship between them with regard to malignant melanoma progression?' In the light of many references, it seems to be highly probable that the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, - being a multifunctional protein functions as a growth factor with possible stimulation by transforming growth factor-beta I in progression of malignant melanoma, rather than Its other existing functions in many different normal and cancer tissues (e.g. inhibition of the matrix metalloproteinases or functioning as an insignificant inhibitor of angiogenesis).

Syria Inks Deal to Maintain Iranian Military Presence, Disregarding Israeli Warnings
Syria and Iran have signed a new military cooperation deal which will see the continued presence of Iranian troops within Syria, despite warnings from Israel.
The "defense and technical agreement" provides for the continued "presence and participation" of Iran in Syria, Radio Free Europe reported on Monday. Iranian Defense Minister Amir Hatami traveled to Damascus to ink the pact with his Syrian counterparts.
"Syria is moving out of crisis and entering the reconstruction phase," Hatami said, explaining that the agreement lays out the grounds for defense cooperation between the two Middle Eastern nations moving forward, according to Iran's Tasnim News Agency.
Iran has backed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, as has Russia, against rebel fighters supported by Europe, the U.S. and Turkey. Iranian-backed militias such as the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah were considered instrumental in turning the war in Assad's favor.
As Iran and groups it supports moved closer to Israel's borders with Syria in their fight against rebel groups, the rival nation reacted preemptively in order to take out potential threats to its security. In recent months, Israel stepped up attacks on Iranian and Iranian-backed groups operating in Syria.
Israel also warned that it would not allow Iran to set up a permanent military presence so close to its territory. Israeli Energy Minister and Cabinet member Yuval Steinitz appeared to threaten Assad over the issue in May, saying, "If Syrian President Bashar Assad continues allowing the Iranians to operate out of Syria, it would be the end of him, the end of his regime."
Meanwhile, Russia has attempted to mediate the tensions.
"As we took into account the Israeli concerns, we managed to attain the pullout of Iranian units 85 kilometers [about 53 miles] from the Israeli [-Syrian] border," Alexander Lavrentyev, Russia's presidential envoy to Syria, said at the beginning of August.
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly said in July that his country "will not allow the Iranians to establish themselves even 100 kilometers [62 miles] from the border."
Meanwhile, Iranian leaders previously said they would stay in Syria despite warnings and agreements made by other nations. Russian Ambassador to Israel Anatoly Viktorov defended the presence of Iranian troops in Syria.
"They are playing a very, very important role in our common and joint effort to eliminate terrorists in Syria. That is why, for this period of time, we see as nonrealistic any demands to expel any foreign troops from the entirety of the Syrian Arab Republic," the Russian envoy said last month.

For WordPress sites, installing plugins is not only essential, it's easy. For almost every type of functionality that you could need, there's a plugin that will do the job.
Choosing plugins
You can choose from free or paid options when you install plugins. For someone just starting out, free plugins will do the job just fine. If you can afford the paid options, then you may want to go this route. These will generally come with added features and a lot more support.
Your choice will depend on what you need done, and how much you need the extra features. Once again, doing your research is key. If a plugin is developed by a reputable developer, does what you need it to do, and is free, then why go for the paid version? But if it is free, check that it is a good option, that some form of support is available and that it is well-reviewed.
Luckily for WordPress users, plugins do come with a rating. When you install a plugin on your site, you'll see what options are available, their star ratings and how many Active Installs they have. So simply search for what you need, hit the Install Now button, and Activate.
Plugins you need
There are all sorts of plugins that you'll want to install, and many of these will depend on your individual requirements. But here are some that you should install from the get go. We've listed our top choices below.
Yoast SEO
This is an awesome plugin that helps you write content for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). It gives you hints to improve the readability of your content, while helping you tweak your posts for SEO. The description given by the plugin itself: The first true all-in-one SEO solution for WordPress, including on-page content analysis, XML sitemaps and much more. Find out more at Yoast.
Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights
This is another good plugin to install. It gives you a rundown of what's working on your page, and what isn't, using Google Analytics. Here's what the plugin says: The best Google Analytics plugin for WordPress. See how visitors find and use your website, so you can keep them coming back. Visit MonsterInsights for more info.
Coming Soon Page & Maintenance Mode by SeedProd
This is a landing page plugin that allows you to customize your landing page – set up is easy and you can capture leads before you even launch your site. It also comes with a Maintenance Mode, so you can let visitors know that your page will be up and running again soon. A free version is available, but without the flexibility of your paid options. Get more details on SeedProd.
For images, image galleries, or video galleries, this is a great option. It's easy to use, and allows visitors to your page to view your images in a responsive lightbox. Free and Pro versions are available, ensuring that you get the right image gallery for your budget. Find out more at FooGallery.
Google Analytics Dashboard for WP
This is also an analytics plugin (similar to Monster Insights). With this plugin, you can access your analytics from your dashboard. There's a drop down menu that allows you to select which view you would like to see, including Users, Sessions, Page views, Pages, Traffic sources and more. You can find out more here.
As soon as your plugins are installed and working, you can move onto the next stage: creating good content with good SEO.

TRAINING for both staff and councillors is a big focus of the recommendations for improvement, as inadequate training underpinned many problems leading up to the suspension.
The inquiry report says a lack of staff training contributed to illegitimate voters being registered, candidates with no right to run being accepted onto the ballot, improper reimbursements being given to councillors, and complaints being dismissed without proper investigation.
The lack of training was confirmed by a 2018 independent report by Tower Human Capital Group that surveyed hundreds of staff.
One question asked staff: "Have you undertaken non-compliance training on (council's online training website) City Learn and only 109 out of 247 said they had.
Dozens gave "don't know" responses including:
• "What is non-compliance training?";
• "What is non-compliance?";
• "Do not understand this question";
• "I don't understand what this means";
• "I don't know what this is";
• "Non-compliance for what? I don't know what this is"; and
• One respondent said they "do not get City Learn as we don't have computers".
Some training has already been completed in areas including risk management and financial management, and future annual reports will have to include the percentage of staff being trained about the city's code of conduct.

When is a "fact" not a "fact?" When a "truth" becomes so commonly believed, despite the fact that it is actually incorrect, that "truth" can be labeled as an "urban legend." Sometimes these legends take the form of commonly believed stories or commonly believed "truisims." Forttunately, the internet provides resources for "debunking" these myths, including, http://www.list25.com/25-popular-myths-debunked/.
Viking helmets have horns-Although there have been findings of Viking helms with horns, these were worn as a ceremonial feature, and Viking helmets used in battle did not have horns.
Bananas grow on trees-Actually, banana "trees" don't contain wood-like features, so therefore it resembles a plant more than a tree.
Humans have only five senses-Although we have five primary senses, we also have secondary senses like equilibrioception, nociception, proprioception, thermoception, and so on.
Hydrogen peroxide heals wounds-It doesn't heal wounds at all. The bubbling effect is just the hydrogen peroxide attacking the skin.
Tomatoes Are Legally Vegetables-They are still fruit. The supreme court never ruled that tomatoes are vegetables.
All bats are blind-Many people believe all bats are blind, but they are just colorblind. They see much better than humans at night. It is still true that some bats are blind and use echolocation, but not all bats.
Chameleons blend in to their surroundings-They can change color to their surroundings, but the soul purposes of this trait is to regulate their temperature or for mating purposes.
Seasons are caused by the distance of earth from the sun-Seasons are caused by the 23.45 degree tilt of the earth, not the distance from the sun.
Goldfish have a three second memory-Goldfish have a fairly decent memory, especially when they can be taught to react to different sensory clues.
Chewing gum will stay in stomachs for seven years-Gum may not digest, but it does "leave the system".
A duck's quack doesn't echo-On the contrary, ducks' quacks do echo, just bring one under a bridge or in a tunnel to find out.
Dropping a penny off the Empire State Building can kill someone-Pennies weigh about one gram and when dropped, the air resistance is greater. The terminal velocity would be about 100mph and its force would be that of a pound. It would hurt.
0.999… does not equal 100-1/3 is equal to 0.333… and 2/3 is equal to 0.666… 3/3 as a fraction should equal 1, just as 4/4 or 5/5 would equal 1. When the decimals 0.333… and 0.666… are added, it equals 0.999…
The Great Wall of China can be seen from space-This is false, considering that it cannot be seen from the International Space Station. The ISS is at 133 above sea level, which is considered a low Earth orbit. However, the Great Pyramid of Giza can be seen.
Irregardless is not a word-As much as everyone says it is not, it is on Google's dictionary entry, just search "what does irregardless mean" on Google and the definition will come up as regardless.

Publishers are frustrated with the lack of monetization of Apple News. Although this source drives even more traffic than Facebook to some publisher sites and has experienced tremendous user growth, monetizing traffic remains a challenge. Find out how much ad revenue publishers are earning from this traffic source, what their biggest challenges are and why they seem to struggle to monetize all their traffic.
Subscribe to our YouTube channel for weekly video updates!
In 2018 Apple News offered publishers a high-quality and engaging audience with fantastic growth.
The problem was that ad revenue was low, yet publishers hoped it would change.
Now, most publishers report that they are still waiting on ad revenue to pick up.
Lack of advertiser interest and low remnant ad fill rates seems to be the reason for this.
Some publishers have claimed to earn low five-figures or even less than $1,000 per month in ad revenue.
Publishers are having trouble selling their Apple News ad inventory directly.
Limited user targeting doesn't allow tracking of IP addresses.
Apple also prohibits programmatic selling of ad inventory.
Instead, some publishers sell Apple News inventory as a value-add to the rest of their ad inventory.
They position it as premium, in-app inventory which some advertisers demand.
The NBCUniversal sales team started selling remnant inventory directly for publishers since 2017 and have been able to achieve $3-$4 CPMs.
However, publishers state that not much of their remnant ad inventory gets sold.
Some claim the remnant ad inventory fill rate for Apple News is around 15-25%.
Referral traffic seems to have remained flat for some publishers ranging between 4-6 million views per week.
Publishers, however, did experience audience growth and claimed Apple News drives more traffic than Facebook.
Others are turning toward selling subscriptions and are seeing some success.
However, they have to give Apple a 30% cut and ownership of the customer.
Publishers need to get creative with their monetization techniques.
Some plan to drive podcast downloads, send users to a subscription paywall or even grow their email list.

Here's the course that 300+ pubs used to scale their ad revenue.

The Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Prince Clem Agba said the federal government had earmarked the sum of N126 billion in the Economic Sustainability Plan (ESP) to upgrade health infrastructure across Federal Medical Centres (FMC) and teaching hospitals with intensive care units.
Also to benefit from the funding are laboratories and isolation centres in the 36 States of the federation including the Federal capital Territory (FCT).
Speaking at the 21st anniversary of the Temitayo Awosika Help Foundation (TAHF), which was held via web conference, over the weekend, he said the government was committed to making progress in the health sector by upgrading and developing its health infrastructure and operationalisation of the National Health Act 2018.
He pointed out that he had already he had already inaugurated 26 Technical Working Groups (TWGs) for the development of Nigeria Agenda 2050 and the Medium-Term National development Plan (MTNDP 2021-2025).
He stressed that the plans were to succeed the current Nigerian Vision 20:2020, and the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP 2017-2020) respectively adding that they are expected to address development challenges in all aspects of the country's national life including healthcare, within the agreed time horizon.
However, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Sufuyan Ojeifo, the minister said: "As part of the improvement to our health sector, it is necessary to implement most of the research findings that are beneficial to the development of our people especially in this era of COVID-19, where health has taken the primary position as it always ought to be, in the affairs of national development."
The minister also said the government will explore impact investment as additional financing option to drive institutional financial support for implementation of research planning outcomes towards improving the health of the 'weak'.
According to him:"Impact investment is a blended finance aimed at reducing the barriers to private sector participation in social investments and financing of Sustainable Development Goals' (SDGs) implementation in the county."
In his presentation, he said:" In order to build resilience in our health system, we have provided N126 billion in the Economic Sustainability Plan to upgrade health infrastructure across Federal Medical Centres and teaching hospitaÐls across the country with intensive care units, labs and isolation centres in 36 States and FCT.
"In this period of COVID-19, we still require more collaboration with the international community to tackle health challenges in our country."
"The Act established the Basic Health Care Provision Fund to increase the fiscal space and overall financing to the health sector to assist Nigeria achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through revitalisation of Primary Health Care (PHC) and other schemes.
"The goal is to ensure that quality basic health care services are delivered to the majority of Nigerians irrespective of their location in the country."

Tuesday poem: Sausage haiku
November 19, 2012
This poem was written on the spot at a recent event at my daughter's school, where the students presented their explorations on themes of social inequality and discrimination to the assembled masses. As at most things I go to these days, there was a sausage sizzle. As a vegetarian, I feel somewhat redundant at these things, even where vego items are provided. All weak and salady and wilting. But give me something to write on, and I'll write.
I recently saw a wonderful poet who composed a much more impressive and less sausagey poem on the spot, based on words called out from the audience. Khairani Barokka, known as "Okka", is an Indonesian writer, performer, artist, producer and researcher. She is definitely one of the most exciting performance poets I have ever seen, and her appearance at the ANU School of Music, organised by the group of poets who meet there and by Australian Poetry Limited, was something I will remember for a long time. Particularly her poem about being asked to rate pain on a scale of 1 to 10. She combines the highly personal and historical and political aspects in her work, without any of the seams showing.
Here she is at the recent Canberra performance. Not the best photo, but I'll blame Okka for not standing still!
Local poets also read their work, and Indonesian Butet Manurung spoke about her experiences with marginalised jungle-dwelling people in Indonesia. She read from her non-fiction book The Jungle School. The book is already available, but will be launched in Australia and New Zealand next year.
All round, it was an exciting event. And not a sausage to be seen. Or smelt!
Click this feather for further poems. Go on. Click like a clicky thing.

1 Supplier Code of Conduct 2012
2 1 P age
3 The Hudson s Bay Company and Lord & Taylor Supplier Code of Conduct A. Expected Ethical and Business Standards Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) and Lord & Taylor (L&T) intend to conduct business in an ethical and socially responsible manner. We are determined to build our business together with our suppliers based on the highest ethical principles of trust, teamwork, honesty, and respect for the rights and dignity of others. We seek suppliers who demonstrate a commitment to contribute to the improvement of community working conditions and who strive to meet our requirements as stated in this code. This code applies to suppliers of HBC/L&T and their respective banners, which include the Bay, Zellers, Home Outfitters, Fields and Lord & Taylor stores. Suppliers are also expected to ensure that their suppliers and subcontractors are aware of and comply with the code. Suppliers authorize HBC/L&T or its designated agent to conduct unannounced inspections of Suppliers facilities, during which all premises may be inspected, workers interviewed, and books and records reviewed. If HBC/L&T determine that a supplier has violated the code, the supplier will be required to implement a corrective action plan and to achieve compliance within a specified time. Alternatively, HBC/L&T reserve the right to cancel orders and/or terminate the relationship. B. Compliance with legal requirements and industry standards Suppliers must comply with all legal requirements as well as the standards of their industry, in the countries in which they do business. Where industry standards are more rigorous than legal requirements, there must be compliance with the higher standard. C. Confidentiality Suppliers must hold all information (other than that in the public domain) concerning the affairs of HBC/L&T which may be communicated to them or to which they may have access, in trust and confidence for HBC/L&T and not use such information other than for the benefit of HBC/L&T. D. Zero Tolerance for Corrupt Practices HBC/L&T have a zero tolerance policy for corrupt practices, including bribery or any other practice intended to reward, or otherwise encourage non compliance with our requirements and/or legal requirements. E. Compliance with Privacy Legislation Suppliers must comply with all privacy legislation, and also ensure that its actions (or lack of them) do not result in non compliance by HBC/L&T. F. Suppliers Must Not Solicit HBC or L&T Employees Suppliers must not directly or indirectly solicit, offer employment to, or in any manner encourage employees of HBC or L&T to leave their employ. 2 P age
4 G. HBC/L&T Accounting and Auditing Complaints Policy ( Whistle Blowing ) Suppliers must comply with the HBC/L&T Accounting and Auditing Complaints Policy, as fully set out in Complaints can be made anonymously to the Hotline by calling TIPS from Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time). H. Employment Standards No Forced Labor Employment must be voluntary, and respect the right of employees to decide to work or not. Suppliers must not use forced labor, whether in the form of prison labor, indentured labor, bonded labor or otherwise. No Child Labor Child labor is not permissible. Workers must be at least 15 (or 14 where the law of the country of manufacture allows), or the age at which compulsory schooling has ended, whichever is greater. In jobs with hazardous working conditions, workers must be at least 18. We support the development of legitimate workplace apprenticeship programs for the educational benefit of younger people as long as they are not being exploited or given jobs that are dangerous to their health or safety. Children may not be employed during school hours; and the combined time at school and work (including transportation) cannot exceed 10 hours a day. No Harassment or Abuse Every employee must be treated with respect and dignity. No employee may be subject to any physical, sexual, psychological or verbal harassment or abuse including the use of physical punishment. Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining Management practices must respect the right of employees to free association and collective bargaining where allowed by law. No Discrimination Employees must not be subject to discrimination in employment, including with respect to hiring, salary, benefits, advancement, discipline, termination or retirement, on the basis of gender, race, religious or personal beliefs, age (other than normal and legally allowed hiring or retirement limitations), disability, sexual orientation, maternity or marital status, nationality, political opinion, union participation, social or ethnic origin or membership in any legal organization. Employment decisions must be made solely on the basis of knowledge, skill, efficiency and ability to do the job and meet its requirements. 3 P age
5 Health and Safety Suppliers must provide a safe and healthy work environment. Factories producing HBC/L&T merchandise must provide adequate ventilation, first aid supplies, fire exits and safety equipment, well lit workstations, clean washing facilities and an adequate number of toilets for both men and women, access to clean drinking water; and Supplier must ensure that all are well maintained and in good working order. Worker housing and dining facilities, where provided by the supplier, must meet a reasonable standard of health and safety. $ Wages and Benefits We are committed to the betterment of wage and benefit levels that address the basic needs of workers and their families so far as possible and appropriate in light of national economic conditions. Suppliers must pay the higher of, the prevailing industry wage, the minimum wage, or a wage that results in a decent living. Suppliers must provide all legally mandated benefits. Hours of Work/Overtime Suppliers must maintain reasonable work hours. HBC/L&T define a standard work week to be not more than 48 hours (unless the local law provides for a shorter period), and considers all additional hours to be overtime. Suppliers must compensate for overtime at the greater of the regular hourly rate and such higher rate as required by law, regardless of whether workers are compensated hourly or by piece rate. In the absence of exceptional circumstances, HBC/L&T will favor Suppliers who utilize less than a sixty hour work week. Unless exceptional circumstances exist, employees must be permitted at least one day off in every seven day period, and also leave privileges. Resolution of Disputes There must be a dispute resolution process to allow employees to voice workplace grievances without the fear of reprisal. Environmental Requirements HBC/L&T will favor suppliers who conduct their business using progressive environmental practices and take active steps to preserve and protect the well being of the environment, including complying with all applicable laws and regulations in respect of protecting the environment and maintaining procedures for notifying local authorities in the event of an environmental accident resulting from Supplier s operations. In jurisdictions in which a supplier is required to participate in an environmental stewardship program, it will provide HBC/L&T with written proof of participation, and its registration number(s); in other jurisdictions it will provide HBC/L&T with detailed packaging information formatted as requested, and promptly inform HBC/L&T of any changes to such packaging. HBC/L&T will calculate environmental stewardship fee(s) and where such fee(s) are not collected at point of sale and supplier is not a participant of the applicable environmental stewardship program(s), these fees will be payable forthwith by supplier to HBC/L&T. 4 P age

Is your child ready for overnight camp?
It's no secret that participating in camp can prepare children for lives filled with success, friendships and confidence. But not all children are ready to leave home and spend weeks at an overnight camp. How do you know if your child is ready?
The American Camp Association (ACA) recommends that children age 7 and over may be ready for the overnight camp experience. To know if your child is prepared, first, ask yourself one question: Is your child actually interested in going to camp? If he or she seems excited about the opportunity, move forward with finding a great camp. If there is evident fear, consider a day camp option to get the child accustomed to the camp environment.
If you are unsure or your child is ambiguous, it can be useful to gauge if your child has had positive experiences sleeping away from home in the past. If your child enjoys sleepovers with friends and family or has enjoyed longer periods away from home, there is a good chance he or she would be comfortable for a sustained period at an overnight camp.
Talking to other parents who have had positive experiences sending their children to camp may help.
"I always suggest referrals from other parents and of course visiting the camp and asking specific questions about their children," Mike Kernan, camp director for Great Times Day Camp said.
Andy Pritikin, owner/director of Liberty Lake Camp and incoming president of the ACA NY/NJ said sending your child to camp helps them develop a sense of self they don't find at home, school or on sports teams. "At camp, children learn that they are able to accomplish a whole lot for themselves, without the help of their parents. They gain real confidence and learn that they are capable of creating their own destiny."
Give your child a taste of camp independence by encouraging him or her throughout the year to try new things at appropriate times. For example, allow your child to ride his or her bike around the block by themselves or, if they are slightly older, permit him or her to see a movie with friends and no parents.
If your child seems enthusiastic about an overnight camp, build on that excitement by explaining all the benefits of camping. But make sure you and your child's expectations of an overnight camp are realistic.
Whether your child is ready to attend an overnight camp this summer or not, remain positive about the camp experience and open to trying again next year. Don't forget — sharing stories about your own fun at camp is contagious.
What to pack
Many day camps provide the tools for success for your children. Most camps offer lunch, drinks and snacks – but depending on what your child's camp activities include, some extra supplies are essential.
If your child's camp has swimming, don't forget to pack a bathing suit, towel and change of clothes. Comfortable shoes for playing sports are essential and clothes that are easy to move in are key.
Overnight camps present a different challenge. If your child will be away for a few weeks, pack enough t-shirts and shorts to get him or her through hot days, but don't forget a sweatshirt or jacket for chilly summer nights and long pants to project from bugs, poison ivy and sharp rocks on hikes.
Home basics at an overnight camp can help your child ease any feelings of homesickness and make him or her feel comfortable while spending down time in a cabin or while sleeping. A blanket, pillow, pillow case, sheets and mattress pad can help your child get a good night's sleep while a laundry bag, towels, shampoo, conditioner and other bathroom essentials will keep him or her clean and ready to take on the day.
One key item that each child should come prepared with no matter what camp they attend? Sun block. It's essential to keep children healthy and prepared for a long day in the sun. A hat can help, and aloe is all important for healing any burns that do occur.

MILAN (Reuters) - Banca Carige CRGI.MI said on Tuesday the European Central Bank (ECB) had made no reference to a possible "resolution" of the Italian bank in rejecting its latest capital plan, dismissing a risk flagged by Moody's ratings agency following a downgrade.
Resolution is a procedure that ensures the orderly liquidation of banks and involves a series of measures used by the authorities as an alternative to bankruptcy proceedings.
Boardroom conflicts have thrust Carige, Italy's last remaining large problem bank, into the spotlight, putting at risk a turnaround which was just starting to bear fruit.
The lender is facing a management crisis after its chairman, deputy chairman and several board members resigned in disagreement over the leadership of Chief Executive Paolo Fiorentino.
In July, the ECB had given the Genoa-based lender until the end of the year to close a capital shortfall, or to start seeking a merger with a stronger peer.
Earlier on Tuesday, Moody's downgraded Carige and placed it under review for further downgrade, citing governance tensions which it said were "an impediment to the bank's effective restructuring".
It also said there was "the heightened risk that Carige could be placed in resolution" after the European Central Bank rejected the lender's capital conservation plan last month.
However, Carige said the ECB's decision "does not contain any reference to a possible resolution".
Fiorentino is overseeing a balance-sheet clean-up demanded by the ECB and last year managed to pull off a capital increase needed to keep Carige in business.
But its failure this year to issue a hybrid bond that would have boosted its lower-quality capital means Carige's total capital ratio lags a 13.1 percent threshold set by the ECB.
Carige said the ECB had rejected the bank's latest capital plan and had asked for new measures by Nov. 30 that would allow the lender to comply with mandatory capital levels by Dec. 30.
Italy's 10th largest bank is betting on asset sales to boost its total capital ratio to 13 percent, up from the current 11.9 percent and close to a 13.125 percent threshold set by the ECB.
In a separate statement on Tuesday, the lender said it would enter exclusive talks with Bain Capital until Oct. 15 regarding the sale of an unlikely-to-pay loan portfolio with a gross book value of up to 400 million euros ($464 million).
Carige added its board had approved the text of its reply to the ECB, which it would send to the European authorities within the prescribed timeframe.
