Warwickshire host Monaghan on Saturday at Pairc na hEireann knowing victory will ensure them progression to the semi-finals of the Nicky Rackard Cup.
This follows last Saturday afternoon’s comprehensive nine-point win over Louth in Dowdallshill, and Monaghan’s hammering of Longford by 4-19 to 2-10 in Inniskeen.
Level, 1-9 apiece, at the end of an entertaining first-half, Tony Joyce’s Warwickshire seized the initiative after the break with goals from Garry Lennon and Kelvin Magee, alongside the fine marksmanship of Niall McKenna and Paul Hoban, allowing them to run-out comfortable victors.
Minus the Arthur brothers, Niall and Gerry, from their attack, the Wee County’s comeback hopes weren’t helped by Warwickshire ‘keeper Conor Robins’ save from Ronan Byrne’s penalty.
Although, had Byrne converted, the likelihood of anything but a win for the reigning Lory Meagher Cup champions was slim with the visitors impressing with the strong wind-element in the away sides’ favour.
Louth opened the scoring through a fine effort from captain Shane Callan and they remained that point ahead by the 12th-minute mark as the teams shared six points.
However, a fortuitous goal in the expats’ favour put them into the lead and, thereafter, they trailed only twice. A long-range free was flicked to the net by Shane Caulfield as the green flag was raised.
To their credit, Louth rallied with David Kettle finishing neatly to the net in between points from himself and Gerard Smyth as the home side went ahead by two, 1-7 to 1-5.
The next four points would go Warwickshire’s way with Paul Uniacke scoring the pick of them from a sideline cut. But Louth closed the stronger as Byrne (free) and Seaghan Conneely sent them to the dressing rooms on level terms.
And when Donal Ryan and Callan put Louth in front on two occasions early in the second-half, Philip O’Brien’s men led as their bid to avenge March’s league final defeat gathered pace.
They would score on only five further occasions, however, all through Paddy Lynch frees, as Warwickshire stepped it up a notch.
Lennon found the net on 40 minutes having escaped the Louth cover before Magee capitalised on hesitancy in the Reds’ full-back line to divert a third major past Stephen Hackett, who had earlier denied Niall Kennedy with an incredible save.
Hoban, brother of Dundalk FC striker Patrick, found the target four times in the second half, registering 0-3 in a period of 2-7 to Louth’s no-reply as the outcome of this round one encounter was determined long before the finish.
Free-taker Paddy Lynch was sharp from placed-balls throughout, but, whereas Warwickshire failed to miss any of their eight scorable frees, Louth had neither enough territory or possession to match these efforts.
Monaghan’s comprehensive defeat of Longford should have Louth heading to the Midlands in a positive frame of mind next weekend. It is, however, a must-win game and that will apply pressure in itself.
Warwickshire, meanwhile, look serious contenders to add to the National Hurling League Division 3A silverware they claimed earlier in the year. For them, Hoban, McKenna and Domhnall Nugent were most impressive.
Subs: Pádraic Crehan for Uniacke (60min), Tom Kelly for Michael O’Regan (61min), Breen Fallon for Lennon (63min), Robbie Curley for Donncha Kennedy (65min), Ian Dwyer for Magee (68min).
Louth: Stephen Hackett; Stephen Kettle, Mike Lyons, Mark Wallace; Feidhelm Joyce, Ronan Byrne (0-2f), Andrew McCrave; Donal Ryan (0-1), Mark Molloy; Paddy Lynch (0-6, 4f), Shane Callan (0-2), Seaghan Connelly (0-2); John Crosbie (0-1), David Kettle (1-1), Gerard Smyth (0-1).
Subs: Darren O’Hanrahan for Crosbie (48min), John Martin for Joyce (65min).

Hitting the treadmill, weight room or spin class for the first time in...a while? Follow these rules and avoid being THAT person.
"There is no better way to show you're a newbie than to be on a piece of equipment talking or texting; it will annoy the other members around you," says Pete McCall, San Diego-based ACE-certified personal trainer. "Think of your exercise time as a chance to "disconnect" and be device-free for an hour or so." Listening to music? That's a go. Need to take a call? Most health clubs have dedicated "cell phone" spots you can use. If the temptation is too much to bear, opt for a music-only device, like an iPod shuffle, so you won't be tempted to message while you work out. Side note: Texting and running is really hard.
Many gym memberships come with additional perks, especially if you sign up around the first of the year, when they're hyper-competing in the local market. Most health clubs provide one or two complimentary personal training sessions, and some offer spa and gear discounts. "This is a good opportunity to learn about everything the facility has to offer and meet a member of the fitness staff who can be a good resource for your fitness needs," says McCall. If your gym doesn't provide extras, try to negotiate something like one free personal training session if you sign up that day. Smaller gyms will be more likely to work with you.
Well-fitted clothing will boost your confidence and make you less self-conscious. And, of course, ensure you avoid this-that-and-the-other slip. "You may not end up pulling a Janet Jackson, but there are plenty of ways your old, ill-fitting gym clothes can let you down," says Jessi Kneeland, a certified personal trainer at Peak Performance NYC. "As tempting as it is to just throw on some old rags—and, yes, I'm talking about that T-shirt you've had since the ninth?grade—it's worth investing in a few key gym pieces." Kneeland also warns about trying to pass off your regular bra as a sports bra. Trust us, not a good idea. Support your girls!
Setting your goals high and committing to getting fit is great—but going to the gym every single day until your legs give out or lifting too-heavy weights isn't the way to start your new regimen. "It's not a competition," says Kneeland. "It's your life." Getting into great shape takes time, consistency and patience. "It will require you staying committed to your goals even during your less-motivating-but-equally-important rest days. And it will definitely require a lifestyle shift to make fitness, recovery, and healthy eating a regular part of your life. You can't speed that process up, so embrace it."
As with anything new, it takes some time to acquaint yourself with the gym and those weird pieces of equipment. Instead of avoiding them, ask the front desk if there is a trainer that can show you how to use the equipment and machines. That's what they are there for. It's better to learn how to do it right than become injured by trying it on your own!.
Circuit workouts are incredibly effective. When you can dash between the rowing machine, a kettlebell station, the treadmill and a medicine ball you can do an efficient workout. But Gunnar Peterson, a Beverly Hills-based personal trainer, says that gym members should avoid monopolizing multiple stations or pieces of equipment all at once. It's a courtesy to other gym members and you'll be thankful when others do the same.
Think that just because you're only staking claim to one spot on the gym floor that you're not bugging anyone else? Not necessarily. Don't do big movements in tight spaces, says Peterson. Jump roping and big kicking or stretching movements should be reserved for less populated areas of the floor.
Maybe you're stuck in line for a treadmill, or over set after set of hand weights. Talk to a trainer and you'll find there are plenty of other machines in the gym that can get you a killer workout, whether you're looking to strength train or sculpt muscle. Some may take a few tries to master, but once you do, this type of cross-training will do you good.
Many classes are complimentary with your membership. However, make sure you are aware of the rules before you go. Are sign-ups required? Do you need to wear any special clothing? Then, arrive early so you can speak with the instructor if it's your first time.
Don't prance around the locker room naked sans towel, says Jennifer Oppenheimer, group fitness instructor at New York Sports Clubs. You don't have to keep every inch covered, but keep in mind that the locker room is not your own personal bathroom and no one needs a full frontal.

The previous night's vote by House Republicans to delay Obamacare for a year in their budget proposals -- making even more likely a government shutdown -- dominated the Sunday shows.
Meanwhile, on "Fox News Sunday," Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Ca., vowed that even in the likelihood that the bill voted through by House Republicans fails in the Senate, they will draft another bill that will also take aim at Obamacare. He said a few options remain on the table to avoid a government shutdown and blamed the president should negotiate more with the GOP (at the same time as vowing continued Republican intransigence).

In order to guard against error on so holy and delicate a theme, we should hold fast the truth of Christ's holy humanity as God has revealed it. God is jealous that the Saviour's unspeakable grace in being a man should not expose Him to dishonor.

Thank you for letting me breathe you.
Your cleansing ocean air filling my lungs with your negative ions- accelerating my ability to absorb your oxygen, your life.
Thank you for your power.
The roar of your waves evoking the power that lies within me.
Your giant salt-water body, bigger than my mind can fathom, sinking my small way of thinking.
Thank you for your mystery.
The mysterious draw of your sounds and sensations beckoning me in the strangest of ways. Reminding me that some things are not meant to be ‘under’stood for that is ‘under’ you, beneath me.
Your ability to communicate with my body and unlock the code to my physical, metaphysical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
Thank you for your balance.
With one glance of you, you balance my energy, my serotonin levels, my mood and my life.
Thank you for your happiness.
Your reminder to me that happiness is my natural state- as it is yours.
A presence that cannot be described to those who haven’t felt it, but a presence that exists within us all.
Thank you for your connectedness.
Reminding me that I am connect to you, to the universe, and to those around me.
Thank you for your safeguard.
Your safeguard from the overstimulation of this current world. Giving my mind, body, heart and soul a break from navigating the crowds, the machines, the unimportant.
For allowing me to focus on what matters and inspiring me to do what I’m designed to do- Move. Shift. Flow.

It's pretty simple: you get hurt at work, and your employer's insurance carrier steps in and helps you out. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work that way. If you are encountering problems either with your employer or the workers' comp carrier it can mean that your ability to have your medical bills and partial salary paid is being impacted. If you are too hurt to work it only follows that your financial situation is worsening by the day. Read on to learn what you can do to get things righted and get the workers' comp benefits you deserve.
Did it happen at work? An allegation of an injury that was not work-related can crop up sometimes, particularly if you have a preexisting condition or you were injured away from the physical workplace. To get your claim back on track you will need to prove the circumstances of your injury by locating witnesses, video footage or by educating your supervisor. Many don't realize that the worsening of a preexisting condition does qualify you for workers' comp coverage. Proving that your work made your condition worse can be challenging, however.
While traveling for business, from your door and back again and all points in between.
Are you dealing with a potentially permanent injury? Everyone hopes to recover and return to their job, but some types of injuries are slow to heal and never allow a worker to get back to work. Sometimes you may be looking at a catastrophic injury like a severe burn or amputation, or it might be a back injury that fails to heal properly. No matter what type of permanent injury you have, you may encounter some roadblocks along the way to getting what you deserve. Your workers' comp carrier should be offering you an enhanced level of benefits that may include the following.
Both of the above situations call for more support than you are likely getting from work or the carrier. Speak to a workers' compensation attorney about what you need to do to get the benefits you need.

·	The SMC Theatre Arts Department continues a streak of distinction. This year, their production of “Quartet: Four Short Plays by Samuel Beckett” was selected to participate in the Kennedy Center/ American College Theatre Festival Regionals to be held in Mesa College, Arizona in February. Fundraising performances were held on January 27-29 on campus. Originally performed at SMC in October/November 2016, “Quartet” is one of only six plays selected from productions judged at colleges and universities throughout the western region: Southern and Central California, Southern Nevada, Arizona, Utah, and Hawaii. “Quartet” is SMC’s fifth full-performance production selected for competition at the regional festival in the past six years. In addition, “Slavery” (2002) and “Once on this Island” (1997) went on to the finals in Washington, DC, at the Kennedy Center.
·	SMC Police Chief Johnnie Adams is proud to share that SMCPD Officer Summer Samano was honored with the 2016 Officer of the Year award for SMC. The award was given to Officer Samano at a banquet held at the Santa Monica Elks Lodge at which several agencies—including the Santa Monica Police Department, the UCLA Police Department, LAPD (West Los Angeles), and California Highway Patrol (West LA)—also honored their respective Officers of the Year. Chief Adams called Officer Samano “…cheerful, engaging and ready to assist in any task [the community] required.” She was also commended, among many other things, for helping students who have survived sexual assault, and for her compassion. Congratulations, Officer Summer Samano—and thanks for all you do!
·	While we were drinking hot chocolate and watching Netflix, the SMC STEM program was busy! Here’s a taste: The very first annual STEM “Finals Stress Relief Week” was held Dec. 5 - Dec. 12. Tutors, snacks, coffee, and a yoga workshop all helped students get through the stress of finals. The program also held a first-ever Study STEM-a-thon the weekend of Dec. 10-11. 90 students made use of the study spaces, quiet rooms, snacks and coffee, and friends who could help them with last minute revisions. And, on October 27, the STEM Program also held its third annual Transfer-Coach-Ella open lab session—students from STEM, EOPS, Adelante, and Black Collegians were helped with their UC/CSU/Common Applications and personal essays.
·	Communications instructor Rosalyn Kahn went to Vail, Colorado to train a Tedx speaker, Doron Gazit, who is using his art—specifically a multi-site installation called The Red Line Project—to bring attention to global warming, climate change and human misuse.
·	Earth Science professor Dr. Alessandro Grippo took fifteen of his Geology students to Catalina Island for an entire weekend, virtually all expenses paid, through a grant he obtained from the University of Southern California. It was a first for many of them! On the island, they learned about the natural world in the field, lab, and water.
·	Ish Shabazz, SMC Network Engineer and (in his spare time) Indie iOS developer, has created and launched several apps—the latest being Stamp Pack. He was recently interviewed on a podcast about the process of building and selling an app, and more.
·	Sheela na gig, The Dark Goddess of Sacred Power (Inner Traditions) is a book that’s been in the making for over a quarter of a century. The author is Starr Goode, Adjunct Professor in the English Department. Over 150 illustrations is featured in the book, which traces the origins of the Sheela na gig from Medieval times to Paleolithic cave art. It is now available on Amazon.com.
·	Professional mezzo soprano and SMC Music Professor Dr. Janelle DeStefano presented a workshop with her husband, Dr. Joe DeStefano, licensed acupuncturist, for the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) National Winter Workshop, January 5-7 in San Diego. Voice professionals from across the US and Canada attended the workshops on Holistic Options for the Singer’s Mental and Vocal Health and Beyond the Breath: Taiji & Qi Gong Exercises for the Singer & Studio.
·	English professor Carol V. Davis has a new poetry book out: Because I Cannot Leave This Body. This book crosses cultural and geographic boundaries to explore her family’s history as outsiders, as immigrants. She probes the boundaries between faith, folklore and superstition, trying to find her own way in landscapes that both beckon and threaten.
·	English Professor David Burak wrote a prose poem—in the form of an email—in the “wee hours of an early December morn” about the significant role that the late Fr. Daniel Berrigan—an American Jesuit priest, anti-war activist, and poet—played during the peace movement era and beyond. Professor Burak’s tribute has been posted on a memorial site for Fr. Berrigan.
·	Art professor Marc Trujillo has a solo show “Urban Ubiquity” at the Bakersfield Museum of Art. The show runs through May 7th, and was covered by John O'Hern in the February issue of American Art Collector.

[Note from Antonio, TMS editor:] I met Anywar Ricky Richard in Seoul, South Korea in Sep 2014 at the World Alliance of Religions Peace Summit. He is doing an extraordinary, pioneering work with ex-child soldiers in Uganda, himself being one of them. I was deeply impressed as were those in attendance. Anywar is a remarkable human being and deserves all support we can give to his cause.

A large midseason crop of exceptionally sweet, sky-blue blueberries follow the profusion of showy pink-tinged white flowers. Fall foliage is a colorful combination of yellow, bronze, orange and red. An excellent hedge or specimen. Deciduous.
Reaches 2 to 3-1/2 ft. tall and 2 to 3 ft. wide.
Average landscape size:Reaches 2 to 3-1/2 ft. tall and 2 to 3 ft. wide.
Design IdeasThis blueberry need not be limited to orchard or kitchen garden. Makes a useful accent shrub in borders, against fences and foundations. Great in acidic soils of transitional conifer canopy driplines or openings in natural woodlands. Line up a beautiful and fruitful hedge. Share with birds by planting in habitat gardens.
Companion PlantsCombine with other half-high blueberries such as Northblue Blueberry (Vaccinium x 'Northblue') and Northcountry Early Seasonal Blueberry, (Vaccinium x 'Northcountry'). Blends well with other Ericaceous plants such as Sneezy Rhododendron, (Rhododendron x 'Sneezy') and Aphrodite Scotch Heather, (Calluna vulgaris 'Aphrodite').
Blueberries love the acid soils typical of all members of the Ericadeae which share the small bell-shaped flowers. The genus includes about 150 species of shrubs found in the Noarth America and eastern Asia. This is a hybrid between the swamp blueberry, V. corymbosum and V. angustifolium. It is a hybrid introduced by the University of Minnesota in 1983.

Our third stay at Marsa Shagra with Red Sea Diving Safari, place where divers can really enjoy their passion. Beautiful landscapes and marine life. A site run by a professional team. Spirit, friendliness and peacefulness are all waiting for you. Thanks to Cyril our guide, and all the staff.
During our stay in Marsa Shagra at the beginning of November, I made a small video for anyone wondering how diving is in Marsa Shagra in November: pristine reefs, stunning visibility and fantastic marine life encounters (like the huge friendly Manta in Elphistone). Enjoy!
During our stay in August 2013, we have created a cave diving on Dolphin house this captured on video, of course, it was a beautiful dive. The water was very clear and there was a light flow. Directly under the boat, we saw a large moray eel. This is a dive that must be repeated, and a true must for everyone.
Marsa Shagra, October 2013. Such a nice place to dive!In this video, some of the best pictures of the dives we did during a week. Maybe the turtles are the best, and the night dives, of course! Hope to come again very soon!
My husband and I had our first ever diving holiday at Marsa Shagra. We had an amazing time! Here are some of our video clips edited together... Thank you Red Sea Diving Safari for an experience of a life time, with special thanks to Cyril, Essam and Mustafa on the boat!
A short video of my diving at Elphinstone. The video is made of the footage I shot on two dives during my stay at Marsa Shagra Village in Marsa Alam in July 2013. It is 100% shot with a GoPro Hero3. I used a stick mount and a home made handheld mount. All underwater footage is from a single dive.

Well-known top seiyuu Hirano Aya, known for her roles as Haruhi in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Konata in Lucky Star, etc., made an appearance on the Fuji TV program Gout Temps Nouveau where the young idol's love life became a topic of discussion. Speaking of her experiences in past relationships, it was a grave subject for an idol to talk about so openly, and unsurprisingly, fans' reactions weren't positive.
Fans became enraged in front of their TVs and took to 2ch, where they wrote abusive messages towards Hirano and, allegedly, even began planning her death. As Hirano herself had never said in front of her fans that she'd been in a relationship until now, amongst her core zealous fanbase, the majority seemed certain that she'd never had a boyfriend. Therefore, the appearance on this program was the very first time Hirano had ever spoken of any such romance like those she described, and the fans' rage in response to having watched the program was uncontrollable.
Even though it was merely the ordinary girl's talk commonly seen on and expected from Gout Temps Nouveau, Hirano's fans, who had truly believed in her supposed lack of a boyfriend, were full of tearful, anguished comments. Not stopping at just those, however, their outrage spiraled out of control as some users began planning for the assassination of their former idol, one comment reading, "I'm glad I didn't record [the program]; I'm going to kill Hirano Aya." Even on the seiyuu's Wikipedia page, a string of characters reading "die" was written approximately 67,000 times (as of now, the article has been restored to its original form). Meanwhile, in a slightly less extreme reaction, fans in possession of her CDs and posters have been destroying them and uploading pictures of the ruined merchandise to the Internet. This upset towards Hirano seems like it won't die down for a very long while.

fans became enraged in front of their tvs and took to 2ch, where they wrote abusive messages towards hirano and, allegedly, even began planning her death. as hirano herself had never said in front of her fans that she'd been in a relationship until now, amongst her core zealous fanbase, the majority seemed certain that she'd never had a boyfriend. therefore, the appearance on this program was the very first time hirano had ever spoken of any such romance like those she described, and the fans' rage in response to having watched the program was uncontrollable.
even though it was merely the ordinary girl's talk commonly seen on and expected from gout temps nouveau, hirano's fans, who had truly believed in her supposed lack of a boyfriend, were full of tearful, anguished comments. not stopping at just those, however, their outrage spiraled out of control as some users began planning for the assassination of their former idol, one comment reading, "i'm glad i didn't record [the program]; i'm going to kill hirano aya." even on the seiyuu's wikipedia page, a string of characters reading "die" was written approximately 67,000 times (as of now, the article has been restored to its original form). meanwhile, in a slightly less extreme reaction, fans in possession of her cds and posters have been destroying them and uploading pictures of the ruined merchandise to the internet. this upset towards hirano seems like it won't die down for a very long while.

Never had seen such piercing stare.
Makes me wonder what you have in there.
In the hollowness of your words.
In the weight of your silence.
In the limits of your ideals.
In the truth of your misery.
I’m willing to accept you.
A place only we know where.
A moment only we could share.
A maybe that we know for certain.
A truth only our feelings can explain.
Twilights we spent tighten the screw.
On time for our rendezvous.
The us we cannot eschew.

Bring potatoes to a boil in large pot of cold water that's been liberally salted. Reduce the heat to medium high or a lightly rolling boil and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a pairing knife. Drain and let cool until just able to handle.
Peel the skins from the potatoes and cut into large diced pieces. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the white vinegar and stir. Allow the potatoes to cool, about 15 minutes. Add the celery and green onions. Chop 4 of the hard boiled eggs and add to the potato mixture.
In a medium bowl, mix the Miracle Whip or mayonnaise, yellow mustard, celery seed and salt and pepper. Mix well into the potato mixture and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Slice the last egg into thin slices and place the slices on top of the salad. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight before serving.

Late yesterday, the California First District Court of Appeal ruled in Citizens for a Eureka v. California Coastal Commission that the Commission has Coastal Act appellate jurisdiction over the Balloon Track nuisance abatement. PLF attorneys represent the Citizens, and had argued that the Coastal Act's provision exempting nuisance abatements from Coastal Commission jurisdiction means that the Commission had no say in the Balloon Track cleanup.
The court of appeal disagreed, holding that the Coastal Act's exemption for nuisance abatements only applies to abatements that are narrowly tailored to abating the nuisance. Here, the court found that there was substantial evidence supporting the conclusion that the nuisance abatement went beyond what was necessary to abate the nuisance, because the abatement required site remediation and wetlands creation. Perhaps the only silver lining to the court's decision is its implicit assumption that the determination of whether a nuisance abatement is excessive or not is properly made in the first instance by the court, not by the Commission.
Curiously, the court declined to rule on the Commission's objection that the Citizens' case is unripe because the administrative process surrounding the Balloon Track cleanup is ongoing with the Commission. The court's refusal to address administrative exhaustion is peculiar because the exhaustion requirement is jurisdictional. The hard and fast rule is that a court is not allowed to reach the merits of a dispute if it does not have jurisdiction to begin with; and a court cannot presume jurisdiction to reach the merits. But that appears to be precisely what the court has done here.
As for next steps, review in the California Supreme Court is an option. That decision will likely be made in the next several weeks.

It's only January and I'm all set with snow and cold. I'm already thinking ahead for spring with fun, tropical colors. Take this Bright Guava Silk Chiffon Scarf with Metallic Silver Hearts as an example. One look at this scarf and you'll completely forget about the 2 feet of snow outside your window!
My scarves are all cut by hand and hand-rolled, with a nice clean stitch on the ends. Unless otherwise noted, my scarves are about 20 in. x 20 in. Please let me know if you should need a larger or smaller size.
It looks even better than the photo. Really nice fabric. Stitch work is top notch.
Beautiful scarves. Thank you very much.

The longest word in the English language has 45 letters and is an artificial word.
It’s a lung disease caused by inhaling ash and sand dust.
I always thought the longest word was: ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM or maybe SMILES because it has a mile between the first and last letters.
Have a wonderful word-filled week!

Shying away from commenting on contentious issues is a bad look for fintech.
You might think that fintech firms – as unabashed usurpers of financial services – wouldn’t shy away from a controversial comment or two. You’d be wrong.
On matters such as Brexit, regulation, politics and competition, talking to fintechs is about as illuminating as the now defunct event series P2P Heroes (not hypocritical, see?).
Nowhere is this more evident than in the frankly tepid response we’ve seen to our ‘Trust the Investor’ petition. The petition is an attempt to persuade the FCA to reconsider its proposed marketing restrictions for peer-to-peer lenders, which if passed would limit ordinary investors to allocating a mere 10 per cent of their net investible portfolio to P2P loans. Or, in other words, which would seriously restrict access to the asset class and damage the very ethos of peer-to-peer.
The petition currently has a pathetic 137 signatures. It needs 10,000 to elicit a response from government and 100,000 to be considered for debate in parliament.
There are far, far more than 100,000 investors in peer-to-peer loans in the UK. The world’s original P2P platform Zopa had more than 50,000 active investors on its platform as long ago as the summer of 2014 – and the industry has grown substantially since then. I’m not saying that every single one of the UK’s P2P investors will care about these rule changes, but I’m quite certain there’s enough interest out there for our petition to get considerably more traction than it currently has.
So why hasn’t it? Timidity.
Peer-to-peer lenders (and other fintechs) have become overly timorous in their old age. A few have tweeted the petition or softly shared it in newsletters. But few platforms have thrown their full weight behind the initiative. Their excuses range from not yet having submitted a formal response to the consultation, to ‘compliance-says-no’, to straight-up radio silence. My guess is their reluctance in truth stems from not wishing to upset the regulatory apple cart.
RateSetter has, to be fair, slightly bucked this trend. The platform sent a blog post out to its investors a week after the consultation landed, laying out its views in explicit detail. The company's CEO Rhydian Lewis wrote that he and his company 'fundamentally disagree' with the proposed marketing restrictions. The industry needs more of that.
I ought to say at this point that AltFi has no axe to grind here. It’s not us that will suffer if the petition fizzles out; it’s peer-to-peer platforms and their investors. As I’ve written before, the most likely outcome of the proposals is that the peer-to-peer industry will become increasingly reliant on institutional capital and less and less bothered by the hassle of retail money.
There are some bad eggs in P2P and they should be cracked down on individually. The industry as a whole should not be. The industry’s biggest and best platforms have established strong track records over the course of five years or more, as our friends at AltFi Data will tell you.
It’s utter, utter absurdity that ordinary investors should be mostly barred from accessing these reputable sources of return while they remain free to splurge as much as they want on crypto-investing, gambling, the lottery or whatever other means of money-chucking that takes their fancy.
Peer-to-peer founders, however, won’t quite say this.
Our petition is far from the only thing fintech firms are zip-lipped about. Brexit, Bloody Brexit, is another.
I recently wrote a piece for WIRED about a curious trend in fintech: UK-headquartered firms setting up engineering hubs in Europe or elsewhere. Many companies have done this as a perfectly sensible means of mitigating the double whammy of tightening immigration rules in the UK and the simple fact that the UK is becoming a less attractive place for Europeans to relocate to. A high percentage of engineering talent in UK fintech comes from overseas. Ergo, companies are setting up engineering hubs overseas in order to continue to attract top tech talent. We know this is happening because online lenders, digital banks and the like are happy to tell you it’s happening. But try to get them to link their overseas operations to Brexit? Dead end.
There are exceptions of course. LendInvest’s Christian Faes was pretty forthcoming about the whole issue, as were representatives of Tandem Bank and Lending Works. Banking challenger Revolut is always good for a frank conversation. But generally speaking, firms are reluctant to talk on the record about Brexit, often blaming uncertainty around what the final deal will look like.
This has been the case as far back as the referendum itself. I distinctly recall how refreshing it was to hear Angus Dent, co-founder and CEO of peer-to-peer lender ArchOver, call the result of the vote ‘a disaster for this country’. Conversely, the message from his peers was all about balance – but it all came off a little hollow-sounding given what was said off-the-record.
Shouldn’t fintech firms – punchy disruption in their blood – feel free to speak boldly and openly about what they want from politics, how they’re handling change, and about the regulations that govern them?
Perhaps I’m being naïve and they’re better off keeping their heads down. Having said that, naivety isn’t so very far away from idealism, and there was a time when fintechs were bracingly naïve too.

With football season starting back I have had fun appetizers and snacks on my mind. This beauty comes from a new cookbook I am kind of obsessed with, Thug Kitchen. If don't have their cookbook, you can check out their tumblir here where they share some recipes. All their recipes are vegetarian and always look amazing.
It has become my go to now that we are eating primarily meat free because their recipes are so creative and full of flavor. This is kind of a spin on buffalo chicken but with cauliflower with an Asian Twist. I absolutely loved the cauliflower, I could not stop eating it. The flavors of the spicy cauliflower paired with the peanut butter sauce is amazing.
Frances Moon could not wait to dig in. Surprisingly the kids loved this dish too- although please note they are spicy so beware if your kids don't like spicy foods. Both my kids seem to love spicy foods probably because Matt and I cook spicy things often. If you want this dish more kid friendly I would only use the 1/3 hot sauce as opposed to 2/3. The kids also loved dipping the cucumber in the peanut butter sauce.
1 cucumber cut into sticks.
1) Heat oven to 450 degrees. Grease a baking sheet or use parchment paper or foil to line.
2) Whisk together the flour and water until there are no lumps. Toss cauliflower with the flour water mixture and mix until all the pieces are coated. Spread the cauliflower on baking sheet and roast 15 minutes. Stir once about halfway through.
3) Make the hot sauce. In a small pan mix oil, sririacha, vinegar and soy sauce. Heat over low heat til warm.
4) Make peanut sauce. In a bowl whisk together peanut butter and water creamy and smooth. Add in all other ingredients and stir til combined.
5) After 15 minutes in the oven, dump the cauliflower back in a big bowl and toss with hot sauce mixture. Make sure it all is coated. Pour them back on the baking sheet and cook about 5 more minutes.
6) Serve hot or room temperature with sliced cucumber.
The Kate Spade private sale started yesterday and it is filled with some great buys. Most items are 75% off. If you need a purse now is the time to buy one. I am talking $600 purses for like $130.
Scroll through to see my favorites. I have this one and this one sitting in my cart.
Just happened to have the ingredients on hand so I made this last night and it was delicious! And so easy! Thanks Natalie. I have also really enjoyed your salad recipes, please keep them coming!
