The Ottawa Senators have played better defensively in the last two games and hope that continues with the acquisition of a veteran blueliner ahead of the trade deadline.
Dion Phaneuf is expected to debut for the visiting Senators as they try for a third consecutive victory Wednesday night against the Detroit Red Wings.
Though currently out of playoff position in the Eastern Conference, Ottawa (25-23-6) has reason to feel good with back-to-back wins following a 1-5-0 stretch. The Senators held a players' meeting after their third straight defeat, 7-2 to Edmonton at home Thursday, then responded by outscoring Toronto and Tampa Bay 11-2.
''You're at the point in your schedule and in the season where there's no margin for error here,'' coach Dave Cameron said.
Ottawa hasn't won three straight since a four-game run Nov. 19-25, but the outspoken Phaneuf appears ready to help. He was acquired Tuesday from Toronto for defenseman Jared Cowen, forwards Milan Michalek, Colin Greening, Tobias Lindberg and a second-round 2017 pick. Ottawa also will receive forwards Matt Frattin, Casey Bailey and Ryan Rupert, and defensive prospect Cody Donaghey.
"From our point of view it's a trade that will give us a little more security on the back end," Senators general manager Bryan Murray said. "(Phaneuf is) a real good person. He competes. He wants to win ... We don't expect him to be a savior. We expect him to be the player he is."
Despite the presence of two-time Norris Trophy winner and leading scorer Erik Karlsson, the Senators rank near the bottom of the league allowing 3.07 goals per game and are last while killing off 74.6 percent of their penalties. Though the 11-year veteran is a minus-15 since the start of last season, Phaneuf's experience provides an upgrade and another possible mentor for talented young defenseman Cody Ceci.
A three-time All-Star, Phaneuf has 424 career points and was tied for the Maple Leafs' lead with 21 assists this season. In a move that should also allow both clubs to shed some salary, the 30-year-old former Toronto captain has five years left on a contract that draws a salary-cap hit of $7 million.
"We're excited to have him," injured forward Clarke MacArthur, who played with Phaneuf in Toronto, told the Senators' official Twitter feed.
The Senators look to continue their defensive improvement after killing all seven penalties in two contests to follow a three-game stretch in which their opponents went 6 for 10 on the power play. Craig Anderson posted a 5.63 goals-against average during a three-game skid, but has stopped 57 of 59 shots in the last two.
"If you let your foot off the pedal and get back on your heels, you put your confidence in jeopardy again because your play will be in jeopardy," Cameron told the NHL's official website. "It's just a matter of sticking to it now."
Mark Stone, meanwhile, has five goals and three assists in four games after going without a point in the previous eight.
''Once you get that little confidence, that little swagger back you feel comfortable every night,'' said Stone, who had two goals and an assist in Monday's 5-1 rout of Tampa Bay.
Bobby Ryan had a goal and an assist in the Senators' 3-1 win at Detroit on Oct. 30, but the Red Wings (27-18-8) totaled nine goals to win the next two at Ottawa.
Looking to improve its playoff position in the East, Detroit has followed a season-worst 0-4-1 home slide by outscoring the New York Islanders and Florida 8-1 to win the last two at Joe Louis.
''Hopefully, this is a sign of things to come,'' said Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill, whose team last won three straight at home during a four-game run Dec. 1-10.
Pavel Datsyuk has four points in two games after scoring twice in Monday's 3-0 victory over the Panthers.
Petr Mrazek, who made 23 saves for his second shutout in five starts, has won nine of 12 and owns a 1.18 GAA with a .955 save percentage in his last 11. He stopped 33 shots during a 5-3 victory at Ottawa on Halloween.
Teammate Henrik Zetterberg had two assists Monday, and has two with a goal against Ottawa this season.
Stone has a goal and three assists against the Red Wings in 2015-16.
Anderson, however, has a 3.93 ERA during an 0-2-2 slump against Detroit.

About T. Boone Pickens
During the span of his long career, T. Boone Pickens created thousands of jobs and made billions of millions of dollars — for others as well as himself — and he wasn't timid about spreading it around.
His view: "I like making money. I like giving it away — not as much as I like making it, but it's a close second."
The breadth of his philanthropy — more than $1 billion during his career — included health and medical research, treatment and services; entrepreneurship; kids at risk; education and athletics, with a particular focus on his alma mater, Oklahoma State University; corporate health and fitness; and conservation and wildlife management. While many donations involved millions of dollars and attract headlines, there are hundreds more ranging from hundreds of thousands to several hundred. Each is important in its own way.
In 2007, Pickens brought his innovative entrepreneurial approach to the philanthropic sector, announcing $50 million each for two University of Texas health care institutions: UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Under unique agreements, the gifts created special funds at the institutions, requiring that they grow to $1 billion ($500 million each) within 25 years from earnings on the original principal and/or from new outside donations solicited by the institutions. Under the terms of the agreement, once the institutions had met the $500 million marks, they were free to distribute the funds as they deemed fit.
In OSU's $1 billion Branding Success fundraising campaign, he challenged other alums to be generous by agreeing to match donations up to $100 million. Pickens was one of the most generous university benefactors of all time, having so far contributed more than $652 million to his alma mater, divided nearly evenly between academics and athletics.
In many ways, Pickens was a record-setting philanthropist: His $165 million gift to OSU in 2005 was the single-largest gift for athletics in NCAA history, and the $7 million donation to the American Red Cross in 2005 was the largest individual contribution in the 150-year history of that organization.
And at the end of each year, but especially successful ones, he urged his employees to consider philanthropic giving as they received their bonuses.
"I firmly believe one of the reasons I was put on this Earth was to make money, and be generous with it," according to Pickens. "And that's what I've continually tried to do."

"Your mama brought you up in a woman's world," Old Dominion singer Matthew Ramsey sings in the band's new song, "Be With Me." "You could be anything." The latest song to be revealed from the Nashville band's upcoming LP, Happy Endings, "Be With Me" is, on a macro level, a love letter to a woman. But it's also a love letter to women in general – and for the band's new video for the song, women get to stand front and center.
The video starts off with a series of women, young and old, talking about themselves and what it means to be a woman: their hopes, their dreams, their role models. One woman reveals that she was a member of the first all-girl bluegrass band, Buffalo Gals, while another chokes up as she remembers her mother, who's passed away. Each of them carries out a dance routine and lip syncs to "Be With Me" for the camera, being as goofy and carefree as they please believing that they're only taking part in an audition. But then Ramsey reveals the truth: They're filming for the video itself, and all these women get to be a part of it.
While the release of Happy Endings is still weeks away, Old Dominion have already been in the process of one-upping themselves with the music videos to go with the album, which is the follow-up to their 2015 debut Meat & Candy. "Be With Me" is the third video to be released for the album, following the Nintendo-inspired "No Such Thing as a Broken Heart" clip and the fashion-forward love song "Shoe Shopping." All three have been directed by their director of choice, Director Steve.
Happy Endings comes out August 25th on RCA Nashville. Old Dominion play the Clark County Fair tonight in Ridgefield, Washington.

Your recovery after a motorcycle accident will depend on the quality of your coverage, so choose insurance that is right for you. Whether you're purchasing motorcycle insurance for the first time, or planning to switch to another provider, it is important to know the ins and outs of specialty insurance coverage. For help with making an informed decision, use the information contained in this FAQ provided by the knowledgeable motorcycle accident lawyers at Wilshire Law Firm.
You don't really have a choice. You must have a policy taken out on your motorcycle in order to operate it legally. That being said, you have a wide range of coverage options available. While it's recommended that you purchase a policy with adequate coverage limits, it's certainly not required.
What Are the Different Types of Motorcycle Insurance Coverages?
Liability Insurance covers injuries and property damages suffered by others in an accident you caused.
Collision Insurance pays for damage to your motorcycle, less your deductible, regardless of who is at fault.
Comprehensive Coverage covers non-accident related risks, such as fire, theft, and vandalism.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage protects you if you're in an accident with an at-fault driver who doesn't carry liability insurance, or whose liability limits are too low to cover your damages.
How Much Will My Motorcycle Insurance Be?
It depends on multiple factors including the type, style, and age of your motorcycle, as well as the number of miles driven per year and storage used.
Can I Customize My Motorcycle Insurance Policy?
Yes, most insurance companies allow customers to tailor their own policies to their own specific needs. You may want to consider adding certain types of coverage to your policy according to your age, budget, type of motorcycle, and riding frequency.
When Do I Know I've Found the Right Motorcycle Insurance Policy for Me?
When narrowing down the list of potential candidates, take into consideration your own needs. Don't be stingy – after all, it's your health and financial well-being on the line here. However, don't go overboard either – you may not need everything a policy has to offer. The basic rule of thumb is to select the policy that both meets your requirements AND is reasonably priced.
How Can I Get Discounts on Motorcycle Insurance?
The key to bringing down motorcycle insurance premiums is to show that you're a low-risk rider. One way of accomplishing this is to take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation rider course – this may land you up to 15% off your motorcycle insurance premium!
Have you been in a motorcycle accident caused by another party? If so, call Wilshire Law Firm at (800) 522-7274 to learn about your rights and legal options in a FREE case evaluation. Let us help you get started on the road to recovery!

As we discussed last week, the table has been set (again) for positive earnings surprises. And we'll see more this week, as Q1 earnings kick into gear.
The tone has already been set, with the big surprises reported on Friday from two of the four biggest banks. The market was looking for earnings contraction from JP Morgan and Wells Fargo. Instead, we had 7% yoy growth from JPM, and 12% yoy growth from Wells.
Today we heard from Citi, the third largest bank in the country. Citi beat expectations with 11% earnings growth in the first quarter, compared to the same period a year ago. And tomorrow we'll hear from Bank of America, the second largest bank in the country.
In our Billionaire's Portfolio, we followed him into Citigroup, the highest conviction position in his $16 billion portfolio. Citi is the cheapest of the four biggest U.S.-based global money center banks — still trading at a 30% discount to peak pre-crisis market value, despite being far better capitalized, better regulated and a more efficient business than it was in the pre-financial crisis days. With that, not coincidentally, as the banks have beaten expectations, Citi has been the best performing big bank year-to-date (up 29%).
We talked about the coming catalyst of Q1 earnings season. Two of the big banks kicked it off today.
As we discussed, the bar has been set low, very low. Wall Street and corporate America have set expectations for a contraction in S&P 500 earnings in the first quarter (compared to the same period a year ago). Good for us, because this has set the table for positive surprises.
And two of the biggest U.S. based global money center banks started the ball rolling today. JP Morgan reported $2.65 against a $2.32 estimate. And Wells Fargo reported $1.20 against a $1.08 estimate.
Remember, the economy was solid in Q1. The Atlanta Fed estimates 2.3% growth for the Q1. We added 173k jobs a month. PMIs reflected an expanding economy. And we had the biggest quarter for stocks in a decade in Q1. As I said yesterday, with that backdrop, that's a recipe for solid earnings growth, not earnings contraction.
Has the tone already been set today? In the case of Wells Fargo. The market was looking for earnings contraction, relative to Q1 of 2018. We got 7% growth. For JP Morgan, the market was looking for a 2% contraction in earnings (qoq). Instead, we got 12% growth.
With that fuel, the stock market making new highs for the year, and just 1% from the October 3rd all-time highs.
As we end the week, let's revisit this chart that we looked at last month, comparing the current market to 1995 — the last time the Fed flip-flopped after doubling rates into a low inflation, recovering economy.
As we came into the week, the economic, political and corporate calendar was relative light. With that, I suspected markets would be relatively quiet.
Of course we have had an ECB meeting and minutes from the Fed. Often, these would be market moving events. Not this week. As we discussed yesterday, we clearly know where they stand.
After 20%+ earnings growth in 2018, following a historic corporate tax cut, anyone would expect earnings growth to be less hot than last year. Some were even predicting that the hot numbers of last year would be a peak in earnings growth. After all, under ordinary circumstances (in a stable economic environment) we're very unlikely to see the U.S. stock market grow earnings by excess of 20%. That's not much of a story .
But the media loved the shock value of the phrase "peak earnings" last year, and ran it in headlines, conveniently excluding the word "growth." Peak earnings is very different than peak earnings growth.
Still, the broad market sentiment on future corporate earnings eroded through the end of 2018, and has continued to erode through 2019.
And both Wall Street and corporate America are more than happy to ride the coattails of lower sentiment by lowering the expectations bar on earnings. When sentiment is leaning that way already, there is little-to-no penalty for lowering the bar. That just sets the table for positive surprises. They did it for Q4 2018 earnings. And they beat expectations. And they have set the table for positive surprises for Q1 2019 earnings.
Just how low has the bar been set for Q1?
Before stocks unraveled in December, Wall Street was looking for 8.3% earnings growth for 2019. Now they are looking for less than half that. Moreover, they have projected earnings to contract in Q1 compared to the same period a year ago (i.e. at least a short-term peak in earnings).
Well, the Atlanta Fed's real-time model for estimating GDP has Q1 GDP coming in at 2.3%. The economy added on average 173,000 jobs a month over the first quarter. Both manufacturing and services PMIs expanded in the quarter, and stocks fully recovered the losses from December. That's a formula for earnings growth, no contraction.
The minutes were released from the March Fed meeting today. But we already know very clearly where they stand.
Remember, they spent the better part of the first three months of the year marching out Fed officials (one after another) to give us a clear message that they would do nothing to kill the economic recovery.
Just in case there was any question, Jay Powell stepped in just ahead of the March Fed meeting with an exclusive 60 Minutes interview, where he spoke directly to the public, to reassure everyone that the economy was in good shape, and that the Fed was there to promote stability (i.e. rates on hold and even prepared to act if the environment were to turn for the worse).
As expected, the ECB echoed that position today, following their meeting on monetary policy. As we've discussed, the major global central banks have again coordinated both messaging and policy to ward off an erosion of confidence in the global economy. No surprises. And I'm sure managing the U.S. 10-year yield has been part of that coordinated response. In addition to the speculative flows that have pushed yields lower, I suspect there has been a healthy dose of central bank buying (Bank of Japan and others through sovereign wealth funds).
With that, even though stocks have bounced back, commodities are on the move, and we've had improvements in global economic data, we still have European 10-year yields (Germany) at zero and U.S. yields at 2.50%. That is promoting the global central bank stability plan.

A key piece in the continuation of the global economic recovery will be a weaker dollar. It will drive a more balanced U.S. and global economy, and it will reflect strength in emerging markets (i.e. capital flows to emerging markets).
To this point, as we've discussed, higher U.S. rates have meant a stronger dollar. With global central banks moving in opposite directions in recent years, capital has flowed to the United States. But the emerging markets have suffered under this dynamic. As money has moved OUT of emerging market economies, their economies have weakened, their currencies have weakened, and their foreign currency denominated debt has increased.
But now we have a retrenchment from the Fed. And we have coordinated global monetary policy (facing in the same direction).
This sets up to solidify a long-term bear market for the dollar.
Let's take a look at a couple of charts that argue the long-term trend is already lower, and the next leg will be much lower.
First, here's a revisit of the long-term dollar cycles, which we've looked at quite a bit in this daily note.
Since the failure of the Bretton-Woods system, the dollar has traded in six distinct cycles – spanning 7.6 years on average. Based on the performance and duration of past cycles, the bull cycle is over, and the bear cycle is more than two years in.
With this in mind, if we look within this current bear cycle, technically the dollar is trading into a major resistance area – a 61.8% retracement. The next leg should be lower, and for a long period of time.
Trump wants a weaker dollar, and I suspect he's going to get it.
As we discussed on Friday, the overhang of risks to markets, to the Trump administration and to the economy are as light as we've seen in quite some time.
With this in mind, we have a fairly light data week – which means the likelihood of a disruption in the rise in stocks and risk appetite remains low.
We get some inflation data this week, which should be tame, justifying the central bank dovishness we've seen in recent months. The ECB meets this week. They've already walked back on the idea that they might hike rates this year. Expect Draghi to hold the line on that. The Chinese negotiations have positive momentum, with reports over the weekend that talks last week advanced the ball. And we have another week before Q1 earnings season kicks in.
So, expect the upward momentum to continue for stocks. Just three months into the year and stocks are up big, and back near record highs in the U.S.. The S&P 500 is up 15% year-to-date. The DJIA is up 13%. Nasdaq is up 20%. German stocks are up 13%. Japanese stocks are up 11%. And Chinese stocks are up 32%.
Remember, we've talked about the signal Chinese stocks might be giving us, putting in a low on the day the Fed did it's about face on the rate path, back on January 4th.
The aggressive bounce we've since had in Chinese stocks appears to be telegraphing the bottoming in the Chinese economy. That's a big relief signal for the global economy. Commodities prices are supporting that view (sending the same signal). Oil is now up 42% on the year. And the CRB industrial metals index is up 24%.
As we end the week, the overhang of risks to markets, the Trump administration and the economy are as light as we've seen in quite some time.
With that, stocks are back within sniffing distance of record highs. And I suspect it's just getting started.
Remember, we've talked a lot about the comparisons between today and 1995. But we should also acknowledge how things played out through 2000, after the Fed backtracked on errant policy in the mid-90s.
"Last year (2018) was the first year since 1994 that cash was the best producing major asset class (among stocks, real estate, bonds, gold). The culprit for such an anomaly: An overly aggressive Fed, tightening into a low inflation, recovering economy.
So, just as people are arguing that the expansion cycle of the past decade is coming to an end, we may very well see that the real boom is just getting started.
We continue to have tailwinds of fiscal policy, deregulation and structural reform still working through the economy. And the Fed has now given us the greenlight, with policies designed to fuel higher stock prices!
These are the moments when real wealth can be created in stocks. I want to make sure you are acting, not watching from the sidelines.

The slowdown in China spooked global markets late last year, and have since spooked global central banks.
Given the current recession-like growth in China (6%ish), and the prospects that it could keep sliding, especially if a U.S./China trade deal doesn't materialize, the major central banks in the world have positioned for the worst case scenario.
In the process, we may have discovered the real drag on the Chinese economy.
Here's the latest look at the Shanghai Composite, up 33% since January 4th (which not so coincidentally is the day the Fed walked back on its rate hiking path).
Maybe the easiest message to glean from this chart, and that turning point, is that the biggest culprit in the China slowdown has been the Fed, not tariffs.
Higher U.S. rates has meant a stronger dollar. With the economy moving north, the dollar moving north and rates moving north, global capital flows to the U.S. — and away from riskier emerging markets. It's not that the U.S. economy can't handle a 3.25% ten-year yield or a 5% mortgage rate in the domestic economic environment. It's the EM world that can't handle it (at the moment).
China has responded to the growth slowdown with an assault of monetary and fiscal stimulus. But the most powerful stimulus appears to have been the move by the Fed to stand-down.
We've talked about the prospects that Lyft and Uber, dumping shares on the public at a combined $140 billion plus valuation, may mark the end to the Silicon Valley boom cycle.
This uber-exuberant valuation reflects the regulatory and policy advantage Silicon Valley has enjoyed for the past decade (which is ending). It shows the displacement of capital from Wall Street to Silicon Valley (as a result of those advantages). And arguable, it shows the euphoric stage of a bull market for internet 2.0.
Bull markets are said to be born on pessimism, grown on skepticism, mature on opitimism and die on euphoria. For the euphoria stage, as Paul Tudor Jones describes it, there's typically no logic to it and irrationality reigns surpreme. Given that markets have bought the notion that a hand full of apps would destroy enduring industries, millions of jobs, and life will be great (?) — It's fair to say that irrationality is (and has) reigned supreme.
With this in mind, we talked about the beginning of the end, last year, when the regulatory screws began to tighten on the untouchable tech giants (namely, Amazon, Facebook and Google).
In short, they are too big to manage, and Zuckerberg said just that in his Op-Ed this week, calling for global regulation. Remember, the irony is, regulation only widens the moats for these companies. The higher the cost of compliance, the smaller the chances that there will ever be another Facebook developed in a dorm room.

TT: Howard Kissel, R.I.P.
Howard Kissel was a familiar face on the New York theater scene for well over thirty years. Best remembered as the longtime drama critic of the New York Daily News and the biographer of David Merrick, he had an extraordinarily wide range of cultural interests, and in recent months he had been displaying them to excellent effect on his Huffington Post blog, to which he made his final posting mere days before he died.
He was the best of all possible colleagues, forthright, funny, and exceedingly, unfailingly kind, not only to me but also to Mrs. T, who adored him. His last years, alas, were difficult, both for professional and personal reasons, and when he underwent a liver transplant, it was widely feared that his career was over. Incredibly, he was back at it a few months later, and though he was visibly weakened by his trials, he seemed never to lose his gusto.
Howard was the first critic in New York who went out of his way to befriend me. When I started writing about theater for The Wall Street Journal, he warned me of the dangers of burning out, and it pleased him greatly that I never showed any signs of doing so, any more than he did.
I cannot imagine never again seeing Howard's unmistakable features in a Broadway theater. For me, there will always be an empty seat on the aisle.
Howard Kissel recites a Shakespeare sonnet for Michael Riedel at the Players Club:
UPDATE: Howard's New York Daily News obituary is here.
TT: The right end of the telescope
My drama column in today's Wall Street Journal is devoted in its entirety to Classic Stage Company's revival of Galileo. Here's an excerpt.
Classic Stage Company, long one of New York's most impressive Off-Broadway troupes, has been hitting the bull's-eye with rousing consistency this season. Having just mounted a "Cherry Orchard" that topped my list of revivals in 2011, CSC has now gone on to crack an even tougher nut, Bertolt Brecht's "Galileo." Brian Kulick's staging, in which F. Murray Abraham plays the Italian scientist who dared to pit the evidence of his eyes against the dictates of faith, is a profoundly and comprehensively satisfying achievement, the kind of show that sends you home feeling disinclined ever again to waste your time seeing anything less good.
Mr. Abraham is not, however, the star of the show. That honor belongs to Charles Laughton, whose translation of "Galileo" is being used in this production. Prepared in the closest possible collaboration with Brecht himself for the 1947 American premiere in Los Angeles, in which the star of "Mutiny on the Bounty" and "The Private Life of Henry VIII" played the title role, this English-language rendering of the second version of "Galileo" (there are three) is a wonder, a translation that is both speakable and memorable….
Why is so great a play so rarely performed in this country? Because Brecht conceived of "Galileo" as a grand pageant requiring a huge cast. In 2010 I saw a large-scale production of "Galileo" at Sarasota's Asolo Repertory Theatre that was outstanding in every way, and it fielded a budget-busting cast of 24. The original 1947 staging, which transferred to Broadway later that year, used 34 actors. Mr. Kulick, by contrast, is presenting "Galileo" in CSC's 180-seat black-box performing space with just nine actors, most of whom play multiple roles. While this intimate approach inevitably deprives "Galileo" of its cavalcade-like aspect, it also allows Mr. Kulick and his cast to enact the play with Shakespearean speed and directness. You feel as though you're watching far-off historical events through Galileo's own powerful telescope, an impression reinforced by Adrianne Lobel's amazing set, which turns the theater into a miniature planetarium.
Mr. Abraham gives us a lean, sardonic Galileo (he looks almost like one of El Greco's famished saints) whose avowals of the joys of the flesh never quite ring true. That, however, is the only false note in his performance, which conveys Galileo's hope and anguish with absolute authority….
"Small-town people manage to endure the inexorable proximity of their lives only by deceiving themselves into thinking that nobody knows what they couldn't not know."


Wandsworth has retained its position as inner London's safest borough with current crime levels on target to reach a five year low.
Over the past 12 months the borough has seen significant reductions in robbery, residential burglaries, gun crime and vehicle crime. There has also been a big fall in the number of complaints about anti-social behaviour, while violent crime also fell.
Overall reported crime levels were down by more than 11 per cent compared to the previous year.
" There is encouraging news concerning crime on the borough, but no room for complacency. We can only achieve these reductions with the support of the public and our partner agencies whose support I value. I am confident that I have an enthusiastic and professional team behind me and that we are making a difference for the better".
"These are encouraging numbers that show that efforts to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour are delivering positive results.
"Violent crime is down, burglaries are down and robberies are down. Wandsworth remains the safest borough in inner London with overall crime levels on a firm downward trend and set to hit a five year low. This is welcome news for residents and businesses.
"The council works extremely closely with the Met to tackle and prevent criminal activity and bring offenders to justice. This support ranges from providing a highly effective CCTV network to paying for a special safer parks team to patrol local parks and open spaces.
The latest crime figures show that robberies were down by 15.4 per cent, compared to the previous 12 months to reach their lowest levels for five years while domestic burglaries fell by 12.6 per cent.
Gun crime saw a year-on-year fall of 35.4 per cent, while motor vehicle crime was down 16.3 per cent and racist and religious hate crime was reduced by just over 18 per cent. Violent crime fell by three per cent.
Thefts from the person, which cover handbag snatches and pickpocketing saw a 3.5 per cent reduction, while detection rates in the borough for this type of offence were nearly two and a half times higher than the Met's London-wide average.
Detection rates for domestic violence were the second highest in London while the borough also had the highest arrest rate. This means that offenders are more likely to be detained and prosecuted in Wandsworth than almost anywhere else in the capital.
Reports of anti-social behaviour, including complaints about rowdy and inconsiderate behaviour, noise and vehicle nuisance were down by 5.9 per cent.
Most town centres also saw lower crime levels. In Clapham Junction offences were down 12 per cent, while in Balham they fell 17 per cent, in Tooting by 12 per cent and in Putney by eight per cent.
Unfortunately this downward trend was not repeated in Wandsworth town centre which saw an eight per cent increase. The council will now be working with the police to quickly identify measures to tackle this discrepancy.
Recent survey data also shows that a majority of local residents feel that the borough is safer now than it was two years ago.
A study involving nearly 1,600 Wandsworth residents found that 55 per cent felt that the borough was a safer place compared to two years ago while 42 per cent agreed that there was "less trouble generally" compared to only 18 per cent who disagreed.


When all the negative news and hierarchical societal oppression in life gets you down, it's good to take the time to recognize some of the good that goes on as well. For every contact sport that won't allow trans people to play in its women's league, there's a hetero member of the patriarchy who wants to jump off a bridge.
We don't blame him for despising his very existence, since he is DIRECTLY and PERSONALLY responsible for thrusting terrible violence upon every other gender (all of them), race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and religion (did we mention he's a Christian?? UGH!) that has ever existed since the beginning of time, even though by all accounts he's a good guy who works hard, takes care of his family, tries his best to love his neighbor as himself, and all that other stuff that doesn't matter because we only regard him as part of a collective group to which we assign blame.
This is progress. We can only hope for more straight white males to begin loathing the fact that they exist. Onward!


After successful careers in the corporate world, Hong and Jan Chen were drawn to something new involving their passion for child development. Opening a Discovery Point Child Development Center was the perfect way to do so. Their two boys were their motivation towards this change. The youngest, Victor graduated from the Discovery Point Pre-K class in 2016. Both Felix and Victor still enjoy the center for aftercare and Track Out. The Chen's international experiences have allowed them to appreciate and understand the diversity of culture and family background. They believe this is essential for a child's unique development.
Hong was born and raised in China. She moved to Denmark and lived there for three years before moving to North Carolina. Jan was born and raised in Denmark. He has lived abroad twice – Venezuela for a year, and China for close to three years. Hong and Jan moved to the Heritage area in Wake Forest, North Carolina in 2009 where they now reside with their family. The Chens were extremely excited to be opening the first Discovery Point Child Development Center in North Carolina and believed that Heritage is the perfect community for a top-notch facility. Community involvement is very important to the Chens and they are excited to strengthen this community with a positive impact on children's lives and education.
The Chen's belief in the Discovery Point experience drove their decision to open and operate their own Discovery Point. Their goal is to make an impact on children in the early stages of their lives by creating a loving, educational, and nurturing environment.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user patterns, in order to optimize the operator's web offerings and advertising. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.
For analysis with Matomo we use IP anonymization. Your IP address is shortened before the analysis, so that it is no longer clearly assignable to you.
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers so that all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.
To measure conversion rates, this website uses the visitor activity pixel of Facebook. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook's statement the collected data will be transferred to the USA and other third-party countries too.
This tool allows the tracking of page visitors after they have been linked to the website of the provider after clicking on a Facebook ad. This makes it possible to analyze the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising campaigns.
For us as the operators of this website, the collected data is anonymous. We are not in a position to arrive at any conclusions as to the identity of users. However, Facebook archives the information and processes it, so that it is possible to make a connection to the respective user profile and Facebook is in a position to use the data for its own promotional purposes in compliance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy. This enables Facebook to display ads on Facebook pages as well as in locations outside of Facebook. We as the operator of this website have no control over the use of such data.
The use of these services occurs on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. You may revoke your consent at any time.
Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum und https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.
In Facebook's Data Privacy Policies, you will find additional information about the protection of your privacy at: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
You also have the option to deactivate the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" in the ad settings section under https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. To do this, you first have to log into Facebook.
If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate any user-based advertising by Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
Newsletter data
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we will need from you an e-mail address as well as information that allow us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and consent to the receipt of the newsletter. No further data shall be collected or shall be collected only on a voluntary basis. We shall use such data only for the sending of the requested information and shall not share such data with any third parties.
The processing of the information entered into the newsletter subscription form shall occur exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke the consent you have given to the archiving of data, the e-mail address, and the use of this information for the sending of the newsletter at any time, for instance by clicking on the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place to date.
The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose has ceased to apply. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if such action is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
8. Plug-ins and Tools
YouTube with expanded data protection integration
Our website embeds videos of the website YouTube. The website operator is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in the expanded data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. Nevertheless, this does not necessarily mean that the sharing of data with YouTube partners can be ruled out as a result of the expanded data protection mode. For instance, regardless of whether you are watching a video, YouTube will always establish a connection with the Google DoubleClick network.
As soon as you start to play a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers will be established. As a result, the YouTube server will be notified, which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account while you visit our site, you enable YouTube to directly allocate your browsing patterns to your personal profile. You have the option to prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, after you have started to play a video, YouTube will be able to place various cookies on your device or comparable technologies for recognition (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way YouTube will be able to obtain information about this website's visitors. Among other things, this information will be used to generate video statistics with the aim of improving the user friendliness of the site and to prevent attempts to commit fraud.
Under certain circumstances, additional data processing transactions may be triggered after you have started to play a YouTube video, which are beyond our control.
The use of YouTube is based on our interest in presenting our online content in an appealing manner. Pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this is a legitimate interest. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

An inspiring story of overcoming obstacles to receive her CDA.
The reason I wanted to get my Child Development Associate (CDA) certificate was to learn how to help children and how I could benefit them professionally. It was a difficult process, but I was determined to reach my goal. Some of the factors that made it a really difficult process was my limited English, my eight children, and the birth of my son during this process. That was hard for me, but I received a lot of help from Patty Scott. This was our process: I would write my assignments in Somali, my daughter would help me translate them into English and Patty would check the grammar. She pushed me when I felt like giving up and she played a big role in me receiving my CDA certificate. Also, my daughters helped me write my papers in English and helped me find the children-related books from the library.
"The reason I wanted to get my Child Development Associate (CDA) certificate was to learn how to help children and how I could benefit them professionally. I am so happy that I reached my goal."
In addition, I received help from my friends at work, Sandra, Adrianna, and Veronica and also the CDA Council for speeding up my paperwork. I wanted to complete the observation before my son was born. We completed the observation on December 22, and my son was born December 27, 2017. The process seemed fun with the help from my friends. I am so happy that I reached my goal.
I want to thank Patty, Maryam, Amina, Sandra, Adrianna, Veronica and Centro de la Familia for contributing to my happiness.

Each year, the IFLA Professional Committee approves the funding of a number of projects proposed by the IFLA Professional Units. Applications for funding can only be accepted from the Officers of an IFLA Section, or from the Committee on Standards on behalf of IFLA Standards Review Groups. After evaluation of 60 projects, we are pleased to announce that our project "Implement a methodology to identify and register information about projects to support the Sustainable Development Goals by libraries from LAC Region" has been selected.
We are inviting all librarian associations or colleges from every Latin American and Caribbean country to participate in this project that aims to integrate all of our regions as we did in 2016. We would be very pleased if your institution plays an active role in this project, assuming the task of analyzing the situation in your country, compiling examples together with national, public, university and specialized libraries and updating the "Directory of Latin American and Caribbean libraries activities in support of the National Development Plan - Agenda 2030" that we are building in IFLA LAC.
The IFLA Standing Committee for Latin America and the Caribbean (IFLA LAC) is conducting a project called "Impact of the copyright legislation on libraries in Latin America and the Caribbean" which aims at identifying and recording the main difficulties, problems and situations that libraries are facing in the work situation and when offering quality services in the digital era. For this integrated project we are inviting the Library association, or a college of librarians or the National Library from each country of the region (in this sequence).
We would like that all LAC National Libraries Associations play an active role in this research, by conducting the analysis of your country's situation, and finding examples, together with the national, public, university and specialized libraries, in order to present a report that summarizes the field research findings. If your Association does not have a Copyright Committee, and no member is proficient in the subject, you can invite an expert from outside your association to work with your team, or to completely take over the task.

The bill, which would have helped Ireland meet its climate change responsibilities by keeping oil and gas in the ground, is now stalled with no clear way forward.
"Despite dire warning from climate scientists and reports showing we are the worst in the EU, we still see this Fine Gael government brazenly stop clear measures that would help us meet our climate change responsibilities.
"By stopping this bill moving forward they are holding future generations, who will have to deal with this growing crisis, in contempt.
"It is utterly irresponsible not to react to this growing crisis. Climate experts say we have just 12 years to tackle climate change yet Fine Gael are again sitting on their hands.
"This action is clearly morally bankrupt but it is also economically damaging as it keeps investment in fossil fuels when it should be moving to renewable energy. We need to signal to investors that the way forward is in renewable energy. Our communities and businesses need to be supported to make that change.
