When Australian supervisors speak about American number plates ... we have a great speech:"The centrepiece of the story can be summed up by just six letters embossed on a personalised number plate: "FUND EM" was written on the number plate of a car belonging to Angelo Mozilo, the CEO of Countrywide Financial.Prior to the Global Financial Crisis, Countrywide Financial was the biggest mortgage originator in the United States.It's an unusual number plate. What do you suppose it means?Well, for all intents and purposes, it was a mission statement. It is saying that Countrywide is in the business of providing funds to home borrowers."David Lewis, General Manager, Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, continues with interesting remarks:"Many countries define 'supervision' to be the enforcement of prudential rules (capital adequacy, liquidity, large exposures and so forth).We do not.To us, 'regulation' can be defined as the application of rules and 'supervision' as the oversight of the effectiveness of a firm's risk management.The difference is more than merely one of nomenclature; it is one of regulatory mission. At APRA, we do both regulation and supervision.At APRA, we do not see our supervisory mandate as being constrained by the rules.To us, a prudential supervisor's mandate extends beyond the rules to ensuring the effective management of risks by regulated institutions - wherever those risks might arise, and regardless of whether or not those risks are described by prudential rules or standards. A compliance-based regulator stays in the blue circle; a risk-based regulator operates in the pink one."Interesting!He continues:"We are strong believers in 'meta-regulation'.By this, we mean encouraging regulated institutions to 'internalise' regulatory goals by having in place sound internal risk management and governance processes."Read more at Number 8 below.…

"Trust in the Force, Ben. That's all you need." Luke said gently, glancing at his son's work."I'm trying. I got it. It's just... Mmm..." Ben grew frustrated, closed his eyes and breathed. He felt his father's force presence inside of himself, then another presence filling him... he breathed. "Mom?" Ben opened his eyes and couldn't believe what he was seeing.He saw a woman on the top of the water, focused on him, her hair red, curly and flowing among the mist. Luke looked over too, sensing his sons' sudden awareness and curiosity in the force. He caught Ben glancing back in his direction. "I think it's a-- I know it's a trap," Ben said, his face paling a bit. Lukes hadn't changed a shade. He just stood there watching with his usual training face he always had on, telling Ben nothing. "Well, what is the Force telling you, Ben?"Ben walked closer to the figure cautiously. "I... I'm not sure just yet." The force was very strong in the woman. She glanced away as he came closer. He came about a step more to get a better look at her face, but he saw darkness.She turned to glare at him; her hair turning grey, her eyes hollow black holes, her face wrinkling with darkened skin. The water had turned red under her, she smirked looking at Ben but somehow beyond him. Ben stood there, filled with horror, his brow furrowing trying to understand or even try to comprehend what was really going on. He took a step back, sizing her up. Luke crossed his arms casually, observing his son.Ben tilted his head. "Who are you?", he spoke to the woman. She didn't answer and just stared off in the distance, bringing a lightsaber up towards him. She seemed to be looking somewhere at the moment, but she ignited it, advancing towards him with pure hatred...pushing him into the utter darkness with her. Ben fell into the consuming darkness, surrounded by hate.…

The year is 1879, and even as the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution subsides, a new kind of revolution has taken Old Europe by storm-a revolution that has brought the power of steam, coal, and electricity to inconceivable heights. The greatest cities in the world-from the narrow, crowded alleys of London, to the mountain strongholds of Greater Christchurch and the seaside steeples of Mastaille-find themselves capsized by the Kinetic Revolution, a movement that will change the course of history forever. But even as technology surges, morale drains with each passing day as the British Archipelago finds itself falling headlong into a full-on civil war, sparked by the Empirical States's unrest against the political figureheads hell-bent on restricting a newly emerging source of power-a dangerously volatile substance of mysterious origin known only as Fairy Dust, the meanest traces of which hold the energy equivalent of a thousand steam-powered engines.Deep in gloomy east London, Bernadette Tryst, a disgraced Royal Air Force Captain wanted on faulty charges, finds an unusual ally in the chipper Ms. Salvania Pol, a scrappy explosives expert-turned con-woman fresh from Jardin-de-Leon, the known headquarters of the Revolutionist Cause. After a series of misadventures, the unlikely pair sets out across Old Europe to unravel the mystery behind Bernadette's false incrimination, pursued by the Hands of the Law (agents of public peace, commonly called 'hollies') as well as a number of Pol's old acquaintances, some of whom may not have completely forgiven her desertion to the Revolution's Cause. But the deeper they dig, the closer they come to discovering a secret that could mean the difference between single-handedly preventing a war...or causing it.…
