DALLAS, TX
.- In a letter to cartoonist Clare Briggs, Winsor McCay, the artist and animator, explained that he could no more stop putting pen to paper than he could cease filling his lungs with air. I never intended to be an artist, McCay wrote in the earnest missive. Simply, I couldn t stop myself from drawing. I drew for my own pleasure. I never wanted to know whether or not someone liked my drawings. I never thought about the money I would receive for my drawings. I simply drew and drew.

The incoming design and distribution obligations will “intersect” with BID, as lenders examine the “competency” of distribution channels and how conflicts of interest could be managed, according to a law firm.
At a Pepper Money Insights 2021 webinar, lawyer and managing associate in Dentons Financial Products and Services group, Rachel Walker, addressed the incoming product design and distribution obligations (DDO) for financial products.
The new obligations, which were passed by Parliament in 2019 following a recommendation in the Financial System Inquiry, will cover both lenders and brokers from 5 October 2021.
They require issuers and distributors of financial products to have a consumer-centric approach to designing and distributing products.
Milk powder prices in New Zealand are at their highest level since 2014.
The four-month-long winning run of the GDT index finally came to an end this week, after the benchmark dairy auction recorded a near 4% decline in average dairy prices.
This week’s dip in average dairy prices comes as no surprise following the GDT’s recent bull run, particularly for milk powder prices.
However, the GDT index remains in very strong territory and is at its highest level since 2014 – a good omen for milk prices this year.
The fall in dairy prices at this week’s auction was led by a 6% drop in the average price of whole milk powder (WMP) to just over $4,000/t (€3,430/t). The retreat in WMP prices this week is no surprise, following the 21% spike in WMP prices at the last GDT auction.
