Silicon Valley Bank (SVB)
"It has been estimated US banks are sitting on $630bn of losses on these investments. This only becomes an issue where they have to sell those bonds and realise the loss.
This is what happened to SVB. It stuck $91bn of customer deposits into long-term securities which have now fallen in value. A run on the bank forced it to sell some of those bonds at a loss, which triggered a need to raise new capital. It failed to do this.

John Boyne - Yes, I am gay but don’t call me ‘queer’ – it's derogatory and traumatising
Good column in The Indo today originally published in The Telegraph about something I have wondered about occasionally over the last several years. It's good to know that there are gay people who don't like being called 'queer'. How anybody could subscribe to 'queer culture' is way beyond me.

I starting following Nicole on Twitter recently and I highly recommend following her! She is uncommonly wise I believe and she shares her knowledge!

Trauma and suffering teaches us valuable lessons. The alchemist is the person who transcends their trauma and then shares their gifts and new knowledge with others. It’s through the generosity of sharing that we heal ourselves.
