Entries in Budget Control Act (2)
White House Details Looming 'Doomsday' Budget Cuts
Comstock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) -- The Obama administration Friday laid out on paper -- 400 pages of it -- the details of $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts that would take effect at the end of the year unless Congress strikes a deal. The picture is not pretty.
Billions of dollars would be slashed from defense operations and maintenance programs, says the administration. Medicare would take a two-percent hit, trimming millions in payouts to health care providers. Scientific research programs would be gutted. Aid for the poor and needy would be sharply curtailed.
More than a billion dollars would even be wiped from the State Department's diplomatic and consular program, including $127 million for embassy security, construction and maintenance and $2 million for the protection of foreign missions and officials, according to the document.
"The report leaves no question that the sequestration would be deeply destructive to national security, domestic investments and core government functions," the administration writes in the report, which was submitted to Congress as required by law.
"Sequestration" is the technical name for the across-the-board spending cuts that were agreed to by bipartisan majorities in both chambers of Congress last year as a penalty for failing to achieve a deficit reduction plan. They take effect on Jan. 2, 2013, unless lawmakers come up with a different plan totaling $1.2 trillion.
"It was intended to drive both sides to compromise, it was never intended to be implemented," a senior administration official said.
In releasing the report the White House emphasized that it had no discretion in deciding what programs would be cut or by how much. Those details were specified by lawmakers as part of the debt ceiling deal reached last year, officials said.
However, the document immediately provided fresh political fodder for Republicans, who have accused Obama and Democrats of being willing to stomach the deep cuts. The critics do not mention, however, that many Republicans also voted for the plan, including House Speaker John Boehner and GOP vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan.
"This report confirms that the president's 'sequester' is a serious threat to our national security and must be replaced," Boehner said in a statement. "But with only a few months before they're scheduled to go into effect, President Obama and Senate Democrats have taken no action whatsoever to avert these cuts."
House Republicans have passed a measure to avoid the drastic cuts, but Democrats have balked because their plan includes no new revenue (tax increases). To resolve the standoff, both sides will need to compromise on taxes.
"I want to be very clear that the administration does not support the indiscriminate, across the board cuts detailed in this report," a senior administration official said. "We believe, the administration believes, that these cuts should never be implemented."
Should lawmakers fail to reach a deal, some budget items will be spared: Veterans benefits, military personnel, and salaries for members of Congress, among other exempt categories.

Paul Ryan Blasts the President for Defense Cuts
Steve Pope/Getty Images(WEST CHESTER, Pa.) -- Standing next to two Sikorski helicopters, Paul Ryan had the perfect setting to talk about the looming issue of $500 billion in defense cuts, also known as sequestration, blaming the president for the cuts.
"President Obama's reckless defense cuts that are hanging over our cloud, hanging over the horizon, could put almost 44,000 jobs at stake right here in Pennsylvania. We are not going to let that happen," Ryan said to thousands of people at the American Helicopter Museum.
Ryan cited his Pennsylvania colleagues in Congress as well as "national defense" being "the first priority of the federal government" as reasons sequestration won't happen.
"We already passed spending cuts and other wasteful parts of government to replace those irresponsible and devastating cuts of the president through his lack of leadership … " Ryan said. "You see, here is what happens. When these budget negotiations went down the pike, the president insisted that these irresponsible defense cuts be a part of this package. Then, he insisted if you want to undo them, we need a trillion dollar tax increase on successful small businesses. So you either lose defense jobs in Pennsylvania or put small businesses further in a competitive disadvantage to compete in the global economy and lose small business jobs."
"I've got a good idea," he added. "Why don't we take away President Obama's job and create jobs for everybody no matter what industry they are in? That's a good stimulus project."
The vice presidential candidate simplified the reasons behind the cuts, which are part of a political battle that began brewing last summer. They are mandated by the Budget Control Act, which was signed into law last August by President Obama in exchange for a $2.4 trillion increase in the debt limit.
House Speaker John Boehner insisted that any increase in the debt limit be matched dollar-for-dollar in spending cuts and reforms, but as the federal government ran critically low on cash, Congress had only agreed to about $1.2 trillion in savings. Still, the debt limit was increased under an agreement that called on a "supercommittee" to negotiate an additional $1.2 trillion in savings, or face sequestration -- meaning the automatic cuts that include those defense cuts and items unpalatable to each party.
After the supercommittee failed to strike a deal, the country was left with sequestration. The Obama administration, including Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, has warned what the cuts would mean for the military.
Romney has also hit the president over the cuts on the campaign trail.
Dressed in a blue polo shirt and khakis, Ryan also struck a populist tone at the rally, hitting both Republicans and Democrats while talking about the "you didn't build that" line of attack that has been the Republicans' focus since the president uttered the words last month in reference to government help for small businesses.
"It reveals this side of a government-centered society, of an economy driven by government; it reveals this idea that we need to tax more money from families and small business," Ryan said. "Take that money to Washington and then spread it around to your cronies. … Look, Republicans have been guilty of this in the past, as well. Let's not forget that both political parties touched this idea of getting Washington to pick winners and losers in the economy."
Pennsylvania hasn't voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1988, but the GOP is hoping to turn the state red in November. Ryan spent the day campaigning in West Chester and Carnegie, Pa.
Ryan will hold a fundraiser in the heavily Democratic city of Philadelphia Tuesday evening.

New Zealand starts to bury mosque attack victims
Video Credit: Reuters Studio - Duration: 02:34s - Published on March 16, 2019 < > Embed
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Saturday promised to reform the country's gun laws, a day after at least one gunman attacked worshippers in two mosques, killing 49 and wounding 42 others.
Jane Lanhee Lee reports.
New Zealand began burying its dead a day after at least one gunman attacked worshippers in two mosques in the city of Christchurch-killing 49 people and injuring over 40 others.
The shooter broadcast footage of the attack on Facebook which was quickly shared by users on other social media platforms. He also posted a manifesto online denouncing immigrants and calling them quote "invaders".
Three people have been arrested, including one man, an Australian in his late 20s, charged with murder.
He appeared at court on Saturday (March 16).
SOUNDBITE: NEW ZEALAND PRIME MINISTER, JACINDA ARDERN, saying: "None of those apprehended had a criminal history either here or in Australia and as I said last night, they were not on any watch list either here or in Australia.
(FLASH) Given global indicators around far right extremism, our intelligence community has been stepping up their investigations in this area." New Zealand's prime minister added that the gunman had a license for the weapons and had five guns including two semi automatic riffles, and called for a change in gun laws in her country.
The victims hailed from India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Egypt, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Turkey.
Leaders around the world expressed sorrow and disgust at the attacks, with some deploring the demonization of Muslims. Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said in a social media post: "I blame these increasing terror attacks on the current Islamophobia post-9/11." U.S. President Donald Trump, condemned the quote "horrible massacre".
The gunman's manifesto posted online praised Trump as "a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose".
WHILE Trump said he had not seen the manifesto...he did add- that he does not see white nationalism as a rising threat around the world.
SOUNDBITE: U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, Saying: "I think it's a small group of people who have very very serious problems. I guess if you look at what happened in New Zealand perhaps that the case, I don't know enough about it yet." Meanwhile, the broadcasting of the shooting on social media raised calls for more regulations on tech giants.
Hours after the attack, copies of the video were still available on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, as well as Facebook's Instagram and WhatsApp.
Democratic U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Mark Warner, criticized the companies as being too slow in taking down the post.
Facebook, Twitter and YouTube all said they were taking action to remove the videos.

From Trump's aggressive rhetoric against China, to the escalating trade war with tit for tat responses, and China's 2025 initiative that threatens the US global leadership in advanced technologies, tensions between the US and China (the two dominant forces of today's world) have never been higher.
This book provides a timely analysis of the US-China relationship. Each model is deeply rooted in their respective histories and cultures, with both models highly successful in achieving their main goals and highly resilient over time. It explores the core misconceptions on governance, economic, social and military issues, and the root causes of these misconceptions. If China and US could close the gap by each understanding those differences and their implications, the author argues, they could work together to overcome global issues to the benefit of all.
Author: Peter B. Walker

This book provides a simple and practical guide to planning your daily and long-term finances by understanding your objectives and motivations. In doing so, it offers respite from the anxiety and stress caused by money problems. The author, an experienced financial adviser, argues that the key to financial wellbeing is to "know thyself" in order to allow decisions to be made, and to ensure those decisions are the rights ones for you. This is underpinned by having control of your daily finances, the ability to cope with a financial shock, to be able to have options in life, to have identifiable goals and a clear path to achieve them, and to ensure clarity and security for those we leave behind.

Pax Japonica
Japan, the world's third largest economy and its largest creditor nation, has been in crisis for more than two decades. Its economy has been depressed or in recession in much of that period, its banking sector in a critical state, and its public sector burdened by recurring fiscal deficits and mounting debt. Today, the hegemonic role in global trade and financial markets has been assumed by the USA and China. Yet, this book argues that a possible future Pax Japonica - one in which Japan will overcome its paralyzing debt and once again play a leading role in global finance - can become a reality. Leading international strategist Takeo Harada provides new and astounding insight into Japan's hidden role as designated controller of large - often secret - funds kept for the purpose of rescuing humankind from ultimate disasters. For this reason, Japan's role in the global economy can never be under-estimated and remains critical to its progress.

I Was a Teenage Space Reporter
"That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind," were the words spoken by Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong as he stepped off the footpad of the Lunar Module Eagle. This was the first and most famous manned mission to land on the Moon. As a 19-year-old college journalist, author David Chudwin covered the launch from Florida in July 1969. Chudwin was the only journalist with official NASA press credentials representing the college press and had extraordinary access to the astronauts, rocket scientists, launch pads, rockets, and control centers. 2019 will be the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 -- a time to look back to celebrate that mission, and forward to our future in space. Divided into three parts, this book provides: the author's account of covering the first landing on the Moon in 1969; lessons learned from the Apollo program and their relevance to future space activities; and our future in space including new rockets, space stations, and trips back to the Moon and to Mars.

The Rise of Bacardi
Current Affairs, Economics and Finance, Entrepreneurship and Business Biographies, Management and Leadership, Marketing and Communication, Wellbeing and Personal Development
In 1862, in the city of Santiago de Cuba, a family-owned business purchased a distillery, producing the first bottle of what would become known as BACARDÍ rum. In the years that followed, Bacardi expanded to become a globally recognized household name, renowned for its premium quality white rum. The Rise of Bacardi tells the story of the Bacardi company, from its origins in the mid-19th century to its expansion in the early 20th to its international acclaim as the world's leading manufacturer of spirits today. This is the story of a company, but it is also the story of a family who has faced political and societal upheaval, from the Spanish American War to American Prohibition and the Cuban Revolution, and has continued to go from strength to strength over the last 150 years. As a member of the Bacardí family and former employee of the company, Jorge Del Rosal provides a unique insider's point of view in parallel to his own story as the company expanded in the latter half of the 20th century to today.

The New Local Economy
Current Affairs, Economics and Finance
Apple, Starbucks, Zara, McDonald's – these are some of the brands and companies that are at the forefront of today's global economy. They are embedded in virtually every city and town. But when the global economy goes wrong (as in 2008), it can leave local communities vulnerable in the form of unemployment and bankruptcy.
This forward-looking book argues for the creation of local economies as a means of resisting the seismic changes that globalization often brings, especially in times of crisis. Moreover, research shows that for every £100 spent in a local shop, 45% will remain in the community (compared with only 15% if spent in retail chains such as Tesco or Aldi). As part of the design of the future, Elmark argues for the need to break up the global economy into local economies, so that communities can regain their independence and be less exposed to the tide of globalization.

The Power of Capitalism
"The market has failed, we need more government intervention." That's the mantra politicians, the media, and intellectuals have been reiterating ever since the outbreak of the 2008 financial crisis. By taking the reader on a journey across continents and through recent history, Rainer Zitelmann disproves this call for greater government intervention, and demonstrates that capitalism matters more than ever. The author provides compelling evidence from across the world that capitalism has been the solution to a number of massive problems. He compares developments in West and East Germany, North and South Korea, capitalist Chile v. Socialist Venezuela, and analyzes the extraordinary economic rise of China. For many people, "capitalism" is a dirty word. This book provides a timely reminder of capitalism's power in enabling growth and prosperity, and in alleviating poverty. Author: Rainer Zitelmann
The Green Bubble
The fact is, we are hopelessly addicted to energy. It is the thin glue that holds our civilized world together and life without it would be unthinkable.
Per Wimmer, Owner of Wimmer Financial, Wimmer Family Office and WimmerSpace.com, is releasing his book The Green Bubble this November. The Green Bubble offers an analysis of the current financial bubble being created in the energy sector, by governments subsidizing renewable energy investment. He argues that these investments are not sustainable, and makes a case for investment in gas and, controversially, nuclear power.
Alongside the pressure to reduce greenhouse emissions, there is a challenge to find new, renewable energy sources. Many of the current ideas, Wimmer argues, are politically driven. The book also offers an engaging and intelligent analysis of the different energy issues that the world is facing, and how politics has led us in the wrong direction.

Humanity's Lucky Clover
Why do some states and societies thrive while others do not? What awaits us in the future? Is there a universal model that can guide our success? Vadim Makhov believes there is and that it can be found by means of careful analysis of the past. In this truly big-idea book he presents his 'lucky clover' theory in which, when four critical elements – science, society, innovation and wealth – are present, interacting and developing simultaneously, culminate in success. Having studied hundreds of sources, scrutinised numerous tangled intricacies in world history, and found interesting correlations between various events and phenomena, the author sets out to demonstrate that, through careful analysis of the past, we can find the right path to success.

Desire, Identity, and Chaos in Twelfth Night
This module focuses on Shakespeare's understanding of human psychology, especially the experience of desire. Twelfth Night dramatizes the folly associated with love, and also—as with all of Shakespeare's comedies—revels in the tumult love creates. The world depicted in this play is characterized by a kind of collective madness that grows ever more chaotic as it progresses.

All drama involves chaos. Theater presents its audiences with stories about people in communities experiencing confusion and turmoil of one kind or another. In Shakespearian comedy, that chaos derives mostly from erotic desire. Shakespeare was a great student of human psychology, as a careful observer of what people think about and how they react to the world. He's especially concerned with how desire works, how this phenomenon affects the mind, and how it impacts the lovers' relationships with other people. Twelfth Night, as with all of Shakespeare's comedies, foregrounds desire as a basic aspect of the human experience, central to who we are. But desire is also risky in that the experience of falling in love is something we can't really control and because we can't help when or with whom we fall in love, Shakespeare frequently depicts love as a deeply threatening experience. As we'll see in this module, Twelfth Night is a study of how desire disrupts people's lives and the social worlds in which they're immersed. The play opens with a portrait of Duke Orsino, the ruler of Illyria, who has fallen in love with Lady Olivia. In the next video, our panel of faculty members discusses act 1, scene 1, and considers how and why Shakespeare begins his play with a lover whose affections are not returned.

A new reality every day
Posted on March 22, 2014 by catforehead
As construction proceeded we looked forward to observing the progress, so much so that we didn't necessarily want it to be done that quickly. It was only going to happen once in our life so it seemed like something we should savor. Our apartment was only a 5-10 minute bike ride away from the property, so we could visit it every day and see what had been done, what small increment toward a full realization of our image had been accomplished since yesterday. By the same token, we knew we might be disappointed in the changes taking place, since we'd never done this before and so far weren't convinced that there was a meeting of minds between us and A-1 as to the final results. Would we have the courage and wherewithal to rectify quickly something we weren't happy with? Was the house's fate already set in stone, its future manifestation irrevocable?
As it turns out it wasn't quite that momentous. Though we had reluctantly gone along with the ritual of feting the carpentry crew to lunch and gifts, they didn't show up every day, and never in the numbers initially reported. Sometimes nobody appeared for five straight days, and when someone did it was usually either the head carpenter or his main assistant, and rarely both. We knew from media reports that Japan is suffering a serious shortage of construction labor owing to various factors, not the least of which was the building rush to head off the consumption tax rise in April, but A-1 never admitted to that and when we timidly queried if the original completion date could be met at this pace young N hinted that it probably wouldn't but still tried to avoid anything definite. At first we took his reticence as a way of avoiding the issue, but we soon came to realize that he actually didn't know. As the architect he was nominally in charge of the building process, but he seemed to have no control over the activities of the people who were doing the actual building. If there was rain or strong winds, he had an excuse, but otherwise he didn't explain these lacunae of absences, and we assumed it was because he couldn't. It became something of a joke. After having scoffed at the whole custom of gifting the carpenty crew, we automatically bought snacks for the workers in that time-worn tradition whenever we went over to check on things only to discover no one there or only one person, who, as a result, could feast on a whole package of dango that was supposed to feed five. Eventually, we wised up and brought less and less to the worksite, until we arrived where we started and stopped bringing anything.
But that isn't to say progress wasn't being made, only that it wasn't going ahead at anything that could be called a stready rate. Sometimes two weeks would pass without any visible changes, and then in the course of a day or two the whole place seemed transformed. It was almost surreal. Another factor that sometimes made it difficult to gauge how far along things were was that we didn't have access to the house. For insurance purposes we probably shouldn't have been allowed inside during construction, but in any case once the frame was finished the front door was the first thing installed, which meant the place was locked when there was no one there. We didn't have a key. There was a box attached to the utility pole on the property with a combination lock, and we correctly assumed that the key to the front door was inside it, but young N didn't give us the combination. Nevertheless, when either of the two main carpenters was working he would allow us inside to look around, and though our main excuse for snooping was to measure nooks and crannies so that we could start ordering those things that we declined to pay for through A-1, we simply just wanted to see what the place looked like. Once the walls were up we'd never see the insulation again, or the ceiling beams, or the space underneath the floors. This was going to be our home. We wanted to know as much about it as possible. Like any potential lover we wanted to see it naked. Sometimes the carpenter would explain a point of design to us, but everything was startlingly simple, a realization that prompted second thoughts. Should we have spent more money on the windows? Was this insulation really the best that money could buy? Should we have opted, at much greater expense, for a metal staircase rather than the wooden one that seemed bulkier-looking that we expected? Would we be able to get the refrigerator and the washing machine up the stairs to the second floor?
These second thoughts hit a peak when they finally put up the siding. A-1 had to hire a specialty company to do the job, and it took them three days. After they finished we inspected the results and at first were disappointed. When we had discussed siding at our first meeting with A-1 after deciding to build the house with them, we struggled with the choices. We didn't want conventional compound siding, which tends to mimic natural materials like brick or wood and, thus, looks doubly fake. Real wood would have been preferable but besides being very expensive and not necessarily a wise choice (termites, fire, humidity), Chiba Prefecture had regulations that would have made a wood exterior even more expensive. For that matter, our first siding choice was enameled galvanium, but metal exteriors were also regulated in Chiba, meaning specially treated boards had to be affixed between the frame and the siding, thus making it cost more. At the time we were fretting about every additional cost and opted for regular compound siding but in the corrugated style of the galvanium kind–alternating dark gray and dark blue–which was cheaper and looked the same, at least from afar. What we didn't know was that this kind of siding was attached with nails, and it looked cheap, at least when you walked up to it. Should we have ordered the galvanium, which, on second thought, wasn't really that much more expensive? (When we voiced our concern about cost during that first meeting, the salesman, N, laughed derisively: "It's not that expensive.") It was the first thing about the house we felt was a mistake, though the feeling passed a week or so later when the siders completed the sealing of the panels and spackled over the nail heads. You could still see them but they weren't as prominent.
But those rare times we gained access were pretty thrilling, and it was because it wasn't what we expected or imagined. The OSB we chose for the walls of the office and the walk-in closet went up before the rest of the walls did, and the crazed randomness of the pressed-wood fiber pattern was startling: Who had walls like that. We had been told we could easily paint over the OSB but the pattern was beautiful. And while at first we had worried that we got carried away with the windows, when we stood in the middle of the unfinished rooms and looked out at all that bamboo and, on the second floor, all that sky, we felt a thrill of accomplishment. It was OK to be extravagant with choices that didn't have to do with money.
But many of the times we visited we had to be content with peering in through the windows to see what had been done since the last time we visited. Often enough it seemed nothing had been done, but we stood there and looked and looked, climbing up on the scaffolding to make sure we didn't miss a thing, as if we still couldn't believe that the people who would be living in this place were us.

When our house was built in Kamakura (in 2005), on most days there was just one guy (the same guy). He'd bring in other people for plumbing, etc., but as far as the structure itself, for the most part, as far as I saw, he did it all himself.

Yeah, that became clear soon enough. What confused us was that half the people who showed up for the jotoshiki we never saw again; plus, there was a billing item on the contract for multiple workers that wasn't clarified. But what was perplexing was that the architect didn't really know what was going on from day-to-day.

Whats the pitch on the staircase? looks to be around 45 degrees (or 1 to 1). Is that normal? All I know is that my in-law's (in suganami-ku) has around 45 degrees but at the top because it turns a right angle to the left it gets really steep, and that is causing a concern at their advancing age (and also while carrying our kids up it to bed is quite challenging).

What insulation did you choose and what's the thickness? Worried about this myself.

Major League Baseball announced the start times for the two Wild Card games and the Division Series games through Saturday.
The takeaway: if you're a fan of the Red Sox or Astros and you work a typical day job, be prepared to either take off work or else wait until Game Three to see any action, as both of the first two games of that series will begin in the afternoon. If you want to watch Game One of the Dodgers vs. NL Wild Card winner game on Friday and you don't live on the west coast, boil some coffee and prepare yourself for a long night.
As the for Sox and Astros daytime games, Fox and Major League Baseball apparently felt that not having two playoff games going on at the same time was preferable to a larger audience being able to see the early game. I suppose they know what they're doing as far as TV ratings and things go, but this will no doubt annoy some folks in Boston and Houston. As for the Dodgers first game: it's a large country, time zones are a thing and, really, it's way better for the folks in Los Angeles and either Phoenix or Denver to be able to see those games at a reasonable time than it is for east coasters, so I'm cool with that decision.

The Menahan Street Band announce their new album for February 29th 2021
'The Exciting Sounds Of Menahan Street Band' is their first new album in 9 years which will be released via Daptone Records
Menahan Street Band, a veritable supergroup of some of today's most prolific songwriters, arrangers, and producers return with this beat-forward, cinematic masterpiece.
Their unique brand of instrumental soul has not only been the foundation for some of modern hip-hop's most successful beats, it has also become the perennial soundtrack and veritable vibe-generator for countless parties, art shows, and restaurants throughout NYC and abroad.
While this album carries the aesthetic torch that MSB has skillfully woven into the tapestry of their DNA, it also delves deeper into the experimental, exotic sounds that fill many of the coveted Sound Library and Soundtrack LPs of the late sixties and early seventies - an amalgamation of moog synths, electric pianos, drum machines, and a bevy of analog instrumentation, that ebb and flow in lush swells of Morriconian grandeur.
Menahan Street Band Bio is an amalgamation of various musical disciplines spanning years of collective musical exploration by its individual members: Thomas Brenneck (Budos Band, The Expressions, Los Yesterdays), Dave Guy (The Roots, Late Night House Band, The Dap-Kings), Nick Movshon (Lee Fields and the Expressions, The Black Keys, The Avalanches), Leon Michels (Big Crown Records, El Michels Affair, The Black Keys) and Homer Steinweiss (The Dap-Kings, Holy-Hive, Lee Fields and the Expressions) - each contributing a unique perspective and approach to their highly cinematic and majestic compositions.
The group masterfully bridges the gap between jazz and soul music; harnessing the energy of freeform, improvisation and sculpting it into clearly defined and regimented grooves. This process, set against the backdrop of their home base of New York City, has yielded a signature sound that has been the foundation for some of modern hip-hop's most successful beats; their music has been sampled by the likes of Eminem, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, 50 Cent, Curren$y, to name a few.
By the time of their inception in 2007, Menahan Street Band's lineup had already been heralded separately as innovators in their respective fields. As active members and founders of various projects at Daptone Records, they discovered a shared love of hip-hop, rock & roll and the eccentric subgenres within that would inspire a departure from the soul and funk music they had become best known for. The mission became to create music that cast a wider net; encompassing the influences that better represented their eclectic tastes, ideas, and versatility, which culminated in their critically acclaimed, 2008 debut, Make the Road by Walking.
A new day is upon us all. The elusive undercurrent of urgency evoked by the group's music has never been more relevant. In 2021, MENAHAN STREET BAND rises to meet this new world with the beat-forward, cinematic masterpiece, The Exciting Sounds Of… Menahan Street Band: A milestone that reveals new dimensions in tone and timbre, as well as mood and design. World-renowned artist, Ariana Papademetropoulis lends her imaginative style to help create the striking cover art; a visceral visual that pairs well with the arsenal of analog instrumentation employed in the making of the album.

Jeffrey Chand, RAc. Dipl. TCM is a Registered Acupuncturist and has been in practice since 2000. He is a licensed member of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of BC (CTCMA).
Jeff was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta and began his education at the University of Northern BC in the biology program. He then studied at the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and completed a four year Diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2000. Jeff was exposed to eastern philosophy from a young age though years of study in Tai Chi, martial arts, and Qigong.
Jeff spent time in Taiwan where he worked in a hospital that integrated Western and Eastern medicine. Here, he furthered his study of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and traditional Chinese Medicine.
While in Taiwan, he had the opportunity to study with very high level Qigong masters. He spent several hours every morning learning and studying Qigong with various teachers in the peaceful city parks.
While some teachers were hesitant to teach a "foreigner" Jeff won their favour in time, mostly because he learned to speak Mandarin and was always willing to be a volunteer for their demonstrations!
During this time he focused his study of Qigong on the medical applications for preventive health and treatment of chronic illness. Through this experience, Jeff was inspired to shift his own approach to health care.
Jeff uses Traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, modern integrative medicine, and Qigong to find a blend of healthcare and healing that is two things – effective, and enjoyable!
He wants people to feel empowered and proactive about their health and well being. Jeff provides his patients and Communi-Qi members with health information and 'tools' they can use in their own daily lives. Of course, one of his favourite 'tools' is Qigong!
Outside of his clinic work, Jeff helps people to improve their health through Qigong workshops and health-related lectures. He believes in sharing the concepts of TCM and has taught continuing education courses to other health professionals. He is known for his comprehensive knowledge and ability to encourage and inspire! He created this website to spread the word about Qigong and make it accessible to more people.
In his spare time Jeff is an avid runner. He has completed several marathons including a six day 250 km ultra-marathon across the Sahara Desert through an international event called 'Racing the Planet.' When there is no one in close proximity Jeff has been known to sing and play guitar, and piano! He creates some of the music that is in the background of the Qigong videos!

Q: JSON/PHP script and callbacks I have a JSON script for my testing site on localhost.
What I am trying to do is get it to display different content, depending on the name of the radio station.
<?php
  header('Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8');
  header("access-control-allow-origin: *");

  $dsn = "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=myradio";
  $username=test;
  $password=test;
  $pdo = new PDO($dsn, $username, $password);
  $rows = array();
  $stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(start, '%d/%m/%Y %H:%i:%s') AS start,
                                   DATE_FORMAT(end, '%d/%m/%Y %H:%i:%s') AS end FROM londonradio");
  $stmt->execute();
  $rows = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

  echo '{"success":true,"error":"","data":{"schedule":';
  echo json_encode($rows);
  echo "]}}";
?>

The code does work, but I still have a bug to iron out; I wanted to be able to select between stations, so that this kind of URL is possible:
http://www.mylocalhostradio.co.uk/schedule.php?callback=?&name=London+FM
http://www.mylocalhostradio.co.uk/schedule.php?callback=?&name=Birmingham+FM
The actual site's domain is http://mylocalhostradio2.co.uk
How can I fix my PHP/JSON so I can do a callback, and when the name variable changes, it displays different content (this is from a MySQL database, not a PHP array)?
I am part of the way there, and would appreciate some help in fixing my script; it does the first thing - displays MySQL as JSON.
Now I just need to get it formatted similar to here and be able to change the data displayed in the name bit after the callback.
All advice is appreciated.


Unprocessed field note material exists for this structure (FN-11).
Significance: Neshanic Station Lenticular Truss Bridge is significant because it was built by a prominent 19th century bridge building company; the lenticular truss, of which it is an example, is an unusual truss type compared with other more common trusses such as the single intersection Pratt; and it is the only bridge of its type left in the State of New Jersey. Berlin Iron Bridge Company was the exclusive builder of the elliptical or parabolic truss. Though the design was patented in 1878 by an American, William O. Douglas, the truss form was used as early as 1857 in Germany and 1854 in England. Douglas may have developed this design without knowledge of the German or English bridges. Nonetheless, it was his patent and the Berlin Iron Bridge Company that introduced this type of bridge to the United States. In 1889, the company claimed to have built over 90% of the iron highway bridges in New York and New England during the ten previous years. In the same illustrated catalog, it lists 664 bridges that were erected in twelve states. Neshanic Station Lenticular Truss consists of two 140'-7-1/2" spans. Plans for stiffening the bridge were proposed by the Board of Freeholders in 1932. This altered the appearance of the portals and added new steel sections to other structural members, but did not significantly change the bridge's appearance. The present proposed rehabilitation will not alter the appearance either.


Banks supporting Unite Union – or do they?
Matt Mccarten's Unite Union has finally filed their overdue accounts with the registrar…except they haven't. I have engaged the Owl for a once over lightly so as to not impinge on his holiday with the kids.
There are serious questions as to whether or not Unite union should actually be a union given their poor adherence to the law. Their repeated failure to meet statutory requirements should preclude them from acting as a union. If I was McDonalds or Burger King or SkyCity I'd be applying to have them struck off the register.
Unite Union has filed their 2011 and 2012 Accounts – seriously late and after some enormous pressure by all involved.
There is a loss which is then matched by a surplus. The Union is insolvent and should be closed down except there is a major issue with the accounts. They are not audited therefore there is zero qualification of its viability as a going concern.
There is a note to the accounts which says that the overdraft is secured by a private residency. (Note 4).
Well MUNZ seem to be still on summer holiday as they have only filed their revised accounts up to 2009. I could appreciate a small delay on not filing the 2010 and 2011 updated accounts but he only problem is that they have missed the deadline on filing their 2012 accounts.
Earlier I posted a meme regarding bringing government accounts down to the level of the household budget so people can understand.
All sourced from the Treasury Website.
I couldn't get a true estimate of what the Government's net assets were – the SOEs are valued at $29 Billion (Down $3 billion due to rail in the last 12 months) and there is $50 billion in assets held by Crown Entities (Think this will be mostly Hospitals, Schools and State Houses) and $29 Billion owned by Core Crown. While some of this would be prime commercial property in various cities, most would be impossible to sell like Highways, National Parks and historical locations, Parliament and Waitangi. While nowhere as dire as the US, we're probably close to debt being 100% of government assets.
Either way, it's not looking bright for the next few years until we are back in surplus and from there only disciplined governments will keep us afloat.
Why is a settlement required?
What event happened in as $340,000.00 is a very substantial amount?
Remember First Union hit with a $250,000.00 IRD audit bill as well.
A number of people have been working very hard on your behalf to ensure you receive the best information available from your unions. We have received major criticism for our persistence in these matters but we are now able to provide you with your correct financial information.
We are not looking for a thank you or anything – we just want you to have the best. For the Owl I believe in process and a great advocate for members. Just like you pay money into kiwi saver there is governing laws around protecting your investment. Unions are incorporated societies and your investment needs to be protected as well. Failure to disclose is a serious matter.
The Owl has tabled a comparison of what was originally filed by your Union in 2011 and what the actual true figures were.
Please note that your Union auditors have stated that in their report "Also we have not been able to obtain sufficient audit evidence regarding revenues and expenses relating to Hawera Sub-Branch and 2010 comparatives of Otago Southland Branch". These are not our words but your auditors.
The Owl does not dig around in rubbish bins for scandals and only uses information freely available in the public domain. I suggest members write to their Union and seek clarification on any matters.
What is worse – A privacy breach or a failure to disclose?
The EPMU is defending delays in establishing a trust for Pike River mine disaster families after questions were raised about its accounts.
The country's largest private sector union was one of many organisations to take donations after the November 2010 disaster, in which 29 men were killed.
EPMU communications director Neale Jones told NBR ONLINE it had raised $750,926 by the end of last year, and money is still trickling in.
Payments totalling $344,745 were made to the Grey District Council's fund early last year, but the balance of $406,181 is still on its accounts to December 31, 2011, published on the Societies and Trusts Online website this month.
That money had been earmarked for an educational fund for the killed miner's families.
Questions were raised on the Whale Oil blog about the union's lack of transparency and, at worst, whether the EPMU was using the money to boost its accounts.
Mr Jones says the union has applied to the Charities Commission to register the EPMU Pike River Family Education Trust.
Money should be dispersed within a few months, he says – likely before the two-year anniversary of the disaster.
"It's quite a complex process having to work out how that's all distributed and then seeing who's eligible," Mr Jones says.
While left-wingers are ranting at finance company directors let us have a look at the union who it appears are cooking their own books.
Even Rod Petricevic didn't use funds donated for dead workers to make himself look better on paper than he was.
Has the Union borrowed money from thrid parties based on these padded accounts?
Mr Jones says the union is holding the Pike River money in a separate bank account and the interest is going back into the fund. The union's auditors insisted if the money was being held it had to appear on its accounts.
And a good thing too the accounts are public, because we can see that the EPMU is basically presenting dodgy accounts.
The fund was started prior to 2010 balance date so if the unions auditors insisted on the fund showing on the balance sheet then they should have corrected the 2010 accounts as well and not show the net balance in 2011. Maybe the prior period error of $1m is part of it?
But the bottom line is this, the treatment of the fund is wrong. The auditors can insist on showing on their books all they like but why haven't they shown the liability for the payment out which would reduce the balance sheet. It is known as a contingent liability. To not show this is materially affecting the position shown in the accounts.
There can be only one reason to show only one side of the ledger in properly accounting for those funds and that is to make the accounts look better than they really are.
As regular readers will know I have been focusing on dodgy unions and their lackadaisical financial records.
One union which I highlighted was the Meatworkers and Related Trades Union in which I found over $4 million of members funds missing.
As a result of my investigations one of the meat companies laid a complaint with the Serious Fraud Office who declined to investigate. Perhaps they should have not been so hasty in dismissing the complaint. Perhaps Helen Kelly might like to apologise to AFFCO after labeling their complaint as "hatred".
I have learned yesterday that the Meatworkers and Related Trades Union has been ordered by The Registrar of Incorporated Societies to comply with the law and has required the Union to re-do their latest financial statement to include the figures for the unincorporated branches.
This means that the union claims that it was all above board for them to not issue consolidated accounts and essentially hide members monies in subsidiaries was based on poor advice and they are now being required to properly file audited accounts.
This also means that the unincorporated societies are essentially breaking the Employment Relations Act and operating as illegal unions.
Perhaps Helen Kelly might like to apologise to AFFCO after labeling their complaint as "hatred". It turns out that their complaint certainly looks like it had a great deal of merit but for the lack of focus of the regulator, more intent on looking for corporate fraud rather than fraud against working people. All AFFCO wanted was for members money to be properly accounted for, something you would have thought Helen Kelly and the CTU would have wanted for workers.
Perhaps too the Accountants Society should re-think their ignoring of wilful disobedience of legal requirement for unions to file full and proper accounts.
I await the new accounts that properly record the financial activities of the Meatworkers and Related Trades Union. Once they are filed we can then get a better picture on the true state of the union finances rather than the dodgy accounts filed thus far.
I believe it would be reasonable for the past few years to be likewise corrected so that a proper trace on funds can be completed.
Other unions are in a similar position, either with incomplete financial records as required by law, or with improper consolidation. They would do well to comply with the law.
Union's seem to have an awful lot of trouble with filing things properly. The Owl has noticed some more dodgy paperwork.
The following Unions have shares in the following privately listed company.
The New Zealand Amalgamated Engineering Printing & Manufacturing Union Inc.
New Zealand Public Service Association Te Pukenga Here Tikanga Mahi Inc.
Central Amalgamated Workers Union Inc.
Meat and Related trades Workers Union of Aotearoa Inc.
The Service and Food Workers Union Nga Ringa Tota Inc.
The Owl has no problems with Unions having shares in privately listed companies and this one in particular was incorporated in 1963.
However the National Distribution no longer exists.
The Central Amalgamated Workers Union Incorporated has not files their statutory returns since 2009…why not? But in their 2009 account said they advanced money to the above Company.
The Service and Food Workers Union have reported $250k worth of losses and spent $196k on "building activists and building solidarity".

Can DECT predict the future?
Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) can be used to differentiate between haemorrhage and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption after intraarterial recanalisation (IAR). This study evaluates if DECT can be used to predict future infarction development.
• The IM series (DECT) can predict future infarction development after IAR.
• Later haemorrhages can be predicted using the iodine map (IM) and the weighted "brain window" dual-energy (BW) series.
• The volume of definable hypodense areas in VNC correlates with infarction volume.

JK Rowling's free-speech hypocrisy
Having rightly complained about cancel culture, the author is now using her financial muscle to silence her critics.
Topics Free Speech Politics UK
Just weeks after signing an open letter warning about the 'restriction of debate', JK Rowling has used the threat of legal action to restrict debate. Rowling threatened children's news website The Day with legal action after it defended her 'cancelling' and criticised her views on trans people. It has agreed to pay damages.
Children's news website apologises to JK Rowling over trans tweet row https://t.co/tMdN4WwY7Y
— The Guardian (@guardian) July 23, 2020
In an article entitled 'Potterheads cancel Rowling after trans tweet', readers were asked if it was still possible to enjoy the artistic works of 'deeply unpleasant people' like Rowling.
Rowling was compared to Pablo Picasso, a man who sadistically beat women, and Richard Wagner, an anti-Semite promoted by the Nazis. Apparently, these are the historical equivalents of thinking sex is a biological thing.
In discussing Rowling's comments about transgender people, the article said the civil-rights movement in the US 'used boycotts to take money and status away from people and organisations harming minorities' – implying the same action towards Rowling would be justified.
The Day has now apologised and agreed to pay a fee to a charity chosen by Rowling. It said in a statement: 'We did not intend to suggest that JK Rowling was transphobic or that she should be boycotted.'
But there should never have been the threat of legal action. The article was certainly wrongheaded. Rowling is not a transphobe and has not caused any 'harm' to trans people by airing her views. Comparing a boycott of JK Rowling's books to the actions of Martin Luther King is laughably self-righteous. But nobody should be sued for publishing a daft opinion.
The wealthy should not use their position to threaten people into silence. Given the size of Rowling's platform, she could easily have ridiculed the article and won public support instead. As someone who has been targeted for cancellation, Rowling should know better.

Markdown and Sublime are not immediately a perfect match, but using three packages and some fiddling the results are quite satisfactory indeed!
In Markdown Preview: change the markdown css to a nicer theme (see links for an example) and I'd deactivate the build panel display. Also very recommended: change the paths from absolute to relative to make the rendered HTML portable.
The adapted theme in the links already contains some tweaks for TOCs. You can also find the original there.
You should use the adapted MarkdownTOC.py in the links in this configuration. It fixes correct iteration of same titles and adds umlaut-support for German titles.
Update: There's a usable dictionary package available, you should probably use when writing natural language: it's appropriately named "Dictionaries".

La Convención de Instituciones Republicanas (CIR) (en francés Convention des institutions républicaines) fue un partido político creado por François Mitterrand en 1964 a partir de la unión de diversos clubes políticos situados en la izquierda republicana y socialista (Atelier Républicain, Citoyens 60, Front démocratique européen, Mouvement Démocratique Féminin...). Esta federación relativamente precaria se fue consolidando poco a poco y convirtiéndose en un verdadero partido político, en particular con motivo de las elecciones presidenciales de 1965. La CIR se constituye entonces como el elemento central de la coalición que sostiene la candidatura presidencial de François Mitterrand bajo la denominación de Federación de la Izquierda Demócrata y Socialista (Fédération de la gauche démocrate et socialiste). En 1971, la CIR se integra en el Partido Socialista en el Congreso de Épinay. Los clubs miembros de la CIR permanecen, en algunos casos, encuadrados en el PS como estructuras asociadas. En la CIR, diversos hombres y mujeres cercanos a François Mitterrand empezaron su carrera política, como Pierre Joxe o Édith Cresson.

I have a new family member to introduce you to! It's my new Singer, which is older than I am.
I got it from eBay Singerman12, who fully refurbishes and tests the machines he sells. It's adorable and tiny and extremely heavy. That's because it is made of all metal, in a they-sure-don't-make-'em-like-the-used-to kind of way.
It's an industrial strength machine, which means it can handle thick, heavy fabric in a way my Kenmore can't.
It's basic. It can only do a straight stitch. It came with lots of presser feet to do gathering, piping, zippers, etc., but no zig-zag, overcast or blind hem. But that's fine, because I can use my Kenmore for that. I was having some trouble doing free-motion quilting because the fabric was catching on the face plate. Then I noticed the metal was all chewed up, I guess from the needle striking it. The sewing machine repair shop said it was from sewing too-heavy fabric and forcing it through, thus bending the needle slightly out of whack.
Now I can get my Kenmore fixed up and use my Singer for heavy-duty work!

Oregon regulators recommend strategies to decarbonize electricity
Zach Baker
Capping off close to a year of stakeholder engagement, the Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) submitted a report to the Legislature on actively adapting to the changing electricity sector. The report's top recommendations are to allow the PUC to better address the electricity sector's role in quickly reducing greenhouse gases and improving equity and access in the energy system.
Report Background
The PUC is the state agency charged with using economic regulation to ensure that regulated utilities make safe and reliable electricity available to everyone in their service territories at reasonable, non-discriminatory rates. When the authority for the PUC was first established at the turn of the 20th century, the primary concern was to bring electricity service to all residents, with an emphasis on affordability and reliability. In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the regulated electric system's role in climate change, and its opportunity to reduce greenhouse gases as well as achieve other critical societal objectives such as social equity.
In 2017, the Oregon Legislature passed Senate Bill 978, requiring the PUC to take a holistic look at the future of the electricity sector. SB 978 required the PUC to "establish a public process for the purpose of investigating how developing industry trends, technologies and policy drivers in the electricity sector might impact the existing regulatory system and incentives currently employed by the commission" and to consider changes to the regulatory system and incentives.
The PUC organized a robust stakeholder process that invited many new participants and perspectives into the utility process. Six priority action areas ultimately emerged: climate change; affordability, equity and environmental justice; customer options; utility incentive alignment; regional market development; and participation.
PUC's Role in Climate Action
Having Oregon's utilities more urgently address climate change was "one of the most critical issues" identified by an overwhelming number of participants in the SB 978 process, and is featured as a top priority for action in the report (full report, executive summary). The utility system has a crucial role to play in rapidly decarbonizing the electric grid as well as electrifying end uses, especially the transportation sector.
The PUC currently lacks a clear mandate and authority to address greenhouse gas reduction except as an economic risk in utility resource planning, or to achieve legislative mandates like a renewable portfolio standard. SB 978 stakeholders made it clear that the utility system barriers to rapid decarbonization need to change, and quickly.
Climate Solutions participated in a sub-group of stakeholders – the Low Carbon Future group – which offered recommendations for the PUC to consider, and other stakeholders provided support for climate action throughout the process. The SB 978 report captures the tenor of the discussion well, as stakeholders "emphasized the important and central role the electric sector should play in meeting the state's greenhouse gas emission goals, both by reducing the electric sector's carbon emissions and helping to reduce emissions from other carbon-intensive sectors."
Climate Strategies, including Cap and Invest
To enable rapid, efficient decarbonization of the utility sector under the PUC, a diverse set of stakeholders supported a mandatory economy-wide cap on greenhouse gas emissions to reach an 80% reduction goal below 1990 levels by 2050. Municipalities, utilities, ratepayer advocates, environmental and energy organizations alike agreed that a mandatory cap would enable utilities to more ably achieve their share of the state climate targets – demonstrating just how strong the alignment was on this point. Some of the stakeholder comments in support of an economy-wide mandatory cap on climate pollution are highlighted in our written comments to the PUC. Climate Solutions is committed to passing cap and invest legislation in the 2019 session that would establish a strong, mandatory cap on greenhouse gas emissions.
We, along with other participants, also supported utility action to reduce emissions in other carbon-intensive sectors such as transportation, including increasing investments in transportation electrification, which the PUC included as an area for further action in the report. At the urging of Climate Solutions and other stakeholders, the PUC also noted it would explore performance-based ratemaking mechanisms, which would reward utilities for based on outcomes such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Performance-based ratemaking can incentivize utilities to achieve climate policy objectives, reduce GHG emissions, and make deeper investments in decarbonization and transportation electrification.
High level climate recommendations in PUC's report include:
Work with the Legislature and stakeholders towards an appropriate role in greenhouse gas mitigation;
Work with the Legislature and stakeholders to appropriately define the electric sector's role, if any, in reducing emissions from other carbon-intensive sectors, such as transportation;
Continue to consider economic costs and risks associated with climate change and greenhouse gas regulation to ensure that utility systems are designed to accommodate cost-competitive, low carbon technologies
Equity and Environmental Justice
Equity emerged as the other top issue in the SB 978 process. The discussion focused on whether and how to increase the affordability of electricity for low-income customers and how social equity and environmental justice are integrated into the PUC's decision making practices. A sub-group of stakeholders – the Access Group – discussed these issues in depth, offering a number of recommendations for consideration in the SB 978 process.
Recommendations for further PUC and legislative action on equity include:
As part of the Low Income Utility Program Working Group, make recommendations to the Governor's Carbon Policy Office in December 2018 to address energy burden of low-income Oregonians
Assist, as requested, in legislative consideration of new ways to mitigate energy burden of low-income Oregonians, including changes to ratemaking laws that currently limit the Commission's authority
Explore differentiated service classifications (e.g. establishing a different rate for those in multifamily housing or who are low-income) that may indirectly address energy burden with the Commission's current authority
Engage external resources to develop and host annual PUC staff training on social equity and environmental justice
Integrate environmental justice impact analysis into applicable rulemaking processes, and consider extending to other processes and continue to participate on the Environmental Justice Task Force
More work lies ahead to shape and implement the specific actions the PUC and Legislature take on climate change and equity. We look forward to working with the Legislature and SB 978 participants to accelerate our state's energy and transportation sectors' transition to an equitable, low carbon future.

Anyone can receive end of life training to know more about the time period, what to do, how to be helpful and to feel more comfortable assisting others. But not everyone who seeks this out has the 'calling.' The calling is that powerful desire deep in your bones that you knoow you are meant to offer yourself in this way in service to others as they die.
When people reach out to me, they talk about this and it is interesting that so many feel strange for having the calling to serve others at the end of life. They are told that by family and friends who don't understand them. For the first time, often people tell me they finally feel understood and don't feel like a weird person.
Hospice professionals and end of life doulas alike talk often about how people look at them when they say what they do and how they feel about thier work. It is profound to carry this calling. Most people respect it.
In this week's podcast I discuss the calling.

A Look Inside Barneys New York New Downtown Flagship Store
Editorial Teamon February 17, 2016 /Comments closed
The opening of the new Downtown flagship is a unique homecoming for Barneys New York.
Inside the newly opened BARNEYS Chelsea, New York.
Luxury specialty retailer Barneys New York announced the completion of its new downtown flagship. The opening in Chelsea on 7th Avenue between 16th Street and 17th Street marks the return of the store to the same block that the company was founded on in 1923, and where it maintained an iconic presence through the late 1990's. The store will occupy almost an entire city block.
Designed by award-winning New York-based architectural firm Steven Harris Architects, the new 55,000 square foot flagship, spanning five floors, will include men's and women's RTW, footwear, accessories, cosmetics, a Blind Barber barbershop, and a Freds restaurant.
The Downtown flagship will carry the curated and discerning edit of merchandise for which Barneys New York is known, and will reflect a neighborhood luxury shopping experience. Top designers such as Dries Van Noten, Givenchy, and Saint Laurent will be available, as well as XO "Exclusively Ours" brands such as Baraboux handbags, and fragrances from Douglas Little. The Downtown flagship will also launch exclusive capsule collections from Valentino, Alexander Wang, Elder Statesman, and Sidney Garber, among others.
The exterior of the Downtown flagship store is defined by the 170 foot stainless steel marquee running along the 7th Avenue façade and wrapping the corner of 16th Street. The striking store front provides ample space for Barneys' world-renowned window displays, with two feature windows on 7th Avenue, and three additional windows providing views into the store.
The Madison Avenue flagship will maintain its presence as the largest Barneys New York store.
In conjunction with the Downtown store opening, the iconic Freds at Barneys New York will also open its first ever downtown location on the third floor of Barneys. Traditionally known as a power lunch destination, Freds at the Downtown flagship will also boast a menu of light bites and cocktails.
To celebrate the longstanding bond between Barneys and New York City, Barneys launched a Spring 2016 campaign entitled "Our Town." shot by Bruce Weber, the campaign features both portraits and short films highlighting iconic New Yorkers spanning from notable faces such as Bobby Cannavale, Cyndi Lauper, Lady Gaga, Yoko Ono, and Patti Smith, to local characters like iconic Italian restaurant Rao's owner, Frank Pellegrino, and nightlife icon Ladyfag.
To further pay homage to the history of its original location, Barneys is taking inspiration from its iconic 1986 "Denim Jacket" event and updating it with a modern twist through a unique online charity auction with Christie's auction house this March. "The Black Leather Jacket" will benefit two iconic New York nonprofit institutions: The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual &
Transgender (LGBT) Center, and art-space White Columns. In 1986 Barneys partnered with prominent designers and artists including Keith Haring, Jean Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol and Yves Saint Laurent to put their spin on a deconstructed denim jacket to be auctioned off for an AIDS charity at an event with Madonna, Debbie Harry, Iman and more.
For a modernized spin on the denim jackets, Barneys is partnering with top artists and designers to create one of a kind leather motorcycle jackets that will be available for browsing and bidding at Christies.com/TheBlackLeatherJacket starting March 1st through March 22. Jackets from designers Joseph Altuzarra, Alexander Wang, Isabel Marant, Dries Van Noten, Tim Coppens, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, Azzedine Alaia, and artists Helmut Lang, Ella Kruglyanskaya, Dan Colen, Anicka Yi, Borna Sammak, Glenn Ligon, Kim Gordon, Lisa Yuskavage, Marilyn Minter, Nate Lowman, Rob Pruitt, Sterling Ruby, Susan Cianciolo, and Ugo Rondinone, will all be auctioned with Christie's New York, with proceeds benefiting White Columns and The Center.

A Closer Look at the Tax Incentives in the Amazon Deal
November 29, 2018. This article discusses further Amazon's decision to put a corporate campus in Long Island City/Queens after a public year-long search and the subsequent skepticism and outrage that followed the decision. Many activists and elected officials oppose the process by which Amazon got its $3 billion deal, feeling that despite the strong overall city economy with low unemployment, it will undoubtedly impact affordable housing, public housing, and the current transportation crisis. The Fiscal Policy Institute and other advocates weighed in whether it makes sense to offer Amazon such hefty incentives in light of major issues like housing and transportation.
That in turn raises the issue of where New York should actually invest, in businesses or in infrastructure, according to Jonas Shaende, the chief economist at the Fiscal Policy Institute. "Should we just give [companies] tax subsidies outright or should we invest in what makes New York so attractive and so vibrant and so great? In the things that that are the real factors in in their decision making, things like the transportation system, the affordable housing the access to to labor, to education facilities those kinds of things."
Shaende wasn't alone in that line of thinking, as redirecting state subsidies from corporations towards local infrastructure was a centerpiece of the Marc Molinaro and Stephanie Miner campaigns for governor.
Here is a link to the Gotham Gazette.
