The Federal Reserve's rate increases don't appear to have cooled financial markets and may not therefore be having much impact on the U.S. economy, the Bank for International Settlements said Sunday.
In its quarterly report, the club for central bankers said that despite the four increases in short-term policy interest rates since the end of 2015, asset prices suggest that investors are just as willing to take on risk as before, if not more so.
Financial markets are a key channel through which the Fed's changes in policy affects the economy. Usually, central bank rate rises are accompanied by an increase in broader borrowing costs for households and businesses. Equity prices usually fall or at least stall, again making it more costly for businesses to borrow. But the BIS said that hasn't happened yet.
"If financial conditions are the main transmission channel for tighter policy, has policy, in effect, been tightened at all?" asked Claudio Borio, head of the BIS's monetary and economic department.
The worry at the BIS is that companies and households continue to pile up debts that may weigh on economic growth in the future, as well as make the financial system vulnerable to a repeat of the 2008 crisis.
"The longer the risk-taking continues, the higher the underlying balance sheet exposures may become," Mr. Borio said. "Short-run calm comes at the expense of possible long-run turbulence."
The BIS has long warned that interest rates are too low, fueling a dangerous buildup of debt.
The institution, based in Basel, Switzerland, highlighted similarities between the current episode and the Federal Reserve's rate rises from 2004 through 2006. Ahead of the financial crisis, broader financial conditions also eased, a development then Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan described as a "conundrum."
One possible reason for the equanimity with which participants in financial markets have greeted both series of rate rises is that they have been gradual and clearly telegraphed.
"If gradualism comforts market participants that tighter policy will not derail the economy or upset asset markets, predictability compresses risk premia," said Mr. Borio.
Over recent weeks, some international central bankers have warned that future rises in interest rates may not be as gradual as market participants assume. Late last month, Germany's Bundesbank cautioned that a sudden increase in interest rates could "seriously affect" the country's banks.
On the same day, the European Central Bank said it sees the potential for large corrections in global asset prices as investors load up on risky investments even as major central banks dial down their postcrisis stimulus policies.
But such warnings have yet to have a clear impact on risk-taking, and the BIS's report suggests something more dramatic may be needed to shock market participants out of their complacency.


deGrom surrendered just one earned run in Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers [url=http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-frank-white-jersey]Frank White Jersey[/url] , making history in the process.DeGrom has now allowed three or fewer runs in 25 straight starts, tying a modern-era MLB record, per ESPN.com. The 30-year-old right-hander exited after six innings Monday, with his ERA falling to 1.68 for the season.King Cole matched the feat all the way back in 1910.Fittingly,deGromdidn't earn the win Monday despite his best efforts. The game was tied at one when he left, and BrandonNimmohit a three-run home run in the ninth inning to give the Mets a 4-1 lead.Prior to Monday's game, the Mets averaged 3.43 runs indeGrom's 27 starts, which were tied for the second-fewest in baseball, perESPN.com.DeGromleads all pitchers in WAR (7.3) onFanGraphs, yet he's just 8-8 on the year.He took matters into his own hands against Los Angeles, driving Jay Bruce home in the fifth for the Mets' opening run.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Left-hander Alex Wood asked an arbitration panel for a $9.65 million salary on Tuesday and the Cincinnati Reds argued the newly acquired pitcher should be paid $8.7 million.A decision by Dan Brent [url=http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-kelvin-herrera-jersey]http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-ryan-goins-jersey[/url] , Andrew Strongin and Phillip LaPorte is expected Wednesday, when rulings also are likely for pitchers Trevor Bauer and Gerrit Cole.Wood was 9-7 with a 3.68 ERA for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 27 starts and six relief appearances last year, when he made $6 million.

Cole made $6.75 million last year, when he received his second All-Star selection and went 15-5 with a 2.88 ERA.After winning last year's hearing, Bauer requested James Darby, James Oldham and Sylvia Skratek award him $13 million instead of the Cleveland Indians' $11 million offer. The 28-year-old was a first-time All-Star last year and finished sixth in AL Cy Young Award voting after going 12-6 with a 2.21 ERA, second behind Tampa Bay's Nate Snell.Cole and Wood are eligible for free agency after this season [url=http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-alcides-escobar-jersey]Alcides Escobar Jersey[/url] , and Bauer is eligible after the 2020 season.Bauer won a $6,525,000 salary last year in a case decided by Strongin, Wolf and Robert Herzog, who ruled against Cleveland's $5.3 million offer.Players and teams have split six decisions. Astros shortstop Carlos Correa, Oakland closer Blake Treinen and Tampa Bay outfielder Tommy Pham won while Washington outfielder Michael A. Taylor, Nationals reliever Kyle Barraclough and Toronto reliever Ryan Tepera lost.Three players remain scheduled for hearings this week, all starting pitchers: Detroit's Michael Fulmer, Philadelphia's Aaron Nola and the New York Yankees' Luis Severino.

You don't want none unless you got buns, hon.
It's the hairdo taking the Instagram beauty world by storm, mostly because it's the easiest thing to do (take that, intricate side braids!). It also has the most adorable name and both girls and guys can rock this precious style so it only makes sense that it's what every person with hair that has long enough to put up has on their head right now. No, really, look around and you'll see it.
The "Hun" is everywhere. It's the best and easiest way to update your updo because you've probably been doing it all along. It's that thing you do with your hair when you're blowdrying or flatironing it and need to get underneath. That's right, the half bun.
Give hair texture with dry texturizing spray like drybar's Triple Sec ($32.50 at Sephora) or Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray ($47 at Amazon). If you don't have any of the above, you can create instant texture by backcombing or from running figures through your hair over and over again.
Create an inverted V on the crown of your hair by sectioning top layers with fingertips.
Lock everything together with a ponytail. Make it loose, cause this is not about neatness.
Take the hair that is coming out of the ponytail, and make it into a circle around the elastic. This is where you can turn it into whichever shape you like. Have a few bobby pins on hand to keep some hairs in place.
The #hun is also a way for you to get some of the heaviness off your neck in these hot summer months but don't want it up all the way. It can be dressed up or down, it can be worn on the beach or at an elegant restaurant. Heck, maybe you've got it up in a hun right now, as you go through Facebook while watching TV.
With the exception of those with short hair (sorry, pixie people), it works on just about any hair length and texture and can be worn so many different ways. Hair life just got a lot easier.
Bangs and a hun? Sure, why not?

Hans Bredow (voller Name: Johannes Carl August Friedrich Bredow, * 26. November 1879 in Schlawe, Pommern; † 9. Januar 1959 in Wiesbaden) war ein deutscher Hochfrequenztechniker.

Er war Vorsitzender des Verwaltungsrates der Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft (RRG) und gilt als einer der Begründer des deutschen Schiffs- und Auslandsfunkverkehrs, des deutschen Rundfunks und des deutschen Fernsehrundfunks. Er prägte 1919 den Begriff Rundfunk und verwendete ihn zwei Jahre später erstmals öffentlich.

Kurzzeitig fungierte er 1945 als Oberpräsident der preußischen Provinz Nassau.

Biografie

Familie, Ausbildung und Arbeit bei Telefunken
Bredow wurde als Sohn von Carl Bredow und seiner Ehefrau Julie Fronhoefer in Hinterpommern geboren und besuchte später das Realgymnasium in Rendsburg. Nach seiner Lehrzeit im Bereich der Elektrotechnik studierte er an der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel und am Friedrichs-Polytechnikum in Cöthen. Während seiner Studienzeit wurde er Mitglied auf Lebenszeit im Corps Baltia Cöthen (Askanischer Senioren-Convent), das später mit dem Corps Albingia Dresden fusionierte. 1903 wurde er bei der AEG in Berlin und in Riga Projektierungsingenieur für den Bereich Starkstromanlagen.

Am 1. Mai 1904 wurde er von der von AEG und Siemens & Halske gemeinsam gegründeten Tochtergesellschaft Telefunken übernommen, die sich damals noch Gesellschaft für drahtlose Telegraphie nannte. Im Jahre 1907 konnte er im Funkverkehr auf deutschen Schiffen mit dem Telefunkensystem das Marconi-Company-Monopol für drahtlose Telegraphie brechen. Am 1. Mai 1908 wurde er technischer Direktor der Telefunken-Gesellschaft, die er zusammen mit dem Grafen Georg von Arco leitete.

Hans Bredow war zweimal verheiratet, zunächst, ab 1906 mit Anna Therese Hirschwald, eine geborene Jüdin und später evangelisch getaufte Tochter von Julius Hirschwald, und nach deren Tod 1923 mit 39 Jahren durch "Lungenschlag" (andere Quellen sprechen von Suizid) mit Elisabeth Pauline, geschiedene Reimer, geborene Hermann. Er überlebte auch seine zweite Frau, welche am 3. Juni 1942 durch Suizid starb.

Funkverkehr auf Schiffen und in der Südsee

1909 gründete er das Unternehmen Australasian Wireless Ltd. in Sydney. Schon ein Jahr später konnte er seine Positionen ausbauen, so dass Marconi das deutsche Telefunkensystem im Schifffahrtsverkehr in einer Vereinbarung als gleichberechtigt anerkannte. 1911 trat Marconi den Funkbetrieb auf deutschen Schiffen an die am 14. Januar 1911 gegründete Deutsche Betriebsgesellschaft für drahtlose Telegraphie (DEBEG) ab. Die Leitung der DEBEG übernahm Bredow selbst.

In New York City gründete er 1911 die Atlantic Communication Company, die den transatlantischen Funkverkehr von der Station Sayville mit Nauen ab 1913 im Bereich des Schiffs- und Überseefunks zwischen Deutschland und den USA organisierte. An der internationalen Funkkonferenz in London 1912 nahm er als Vertreter der deutschen Funkgesellschaften teil. Im selben Jahr koordinierte er die technische Kooperation zwischen der Kabel- und Funktelegraphie. Im selben Jahr baute er mit der Deutsch-Niederländischen Telegraphengesellschaft die Deutsche Südsee-Gesellschaft auf. Diese Gesellschaft konnte in den Jahren 1912 bis 1914 die drahtlose Telegraphie zu der Kolonie Deutsch-Neuguinea in der Südsee an das Weltkabelnetz über die Verbindung Jap–Nauru–Samoa–Neuguinea ankoppeln.

Funkverkehr mit Südamerika und Patentaustausch
1913 erreichte er in New York City eine Vereinbarung, in der die Einrichtung eines Dienstes der Funktelegraphie zwischen Deutschland, Nordamerika und Südamerika über die Stationen Sayville, Nauen und Cartagena beschlossen wurde. Im selben Jahr führten Verhandlungen dazu, dass die deutschen Funkpatente mit den englischen ausgetauscht werden konnten. Diese Vereinbarung führte zur Gründung von zwei Gesellschaften für den Funkbetrieb, der Sociéte Anonyme Internationale de Télegraphie sans Fil in Brüssel und der Amalgamated Wireless Australasian Ltd. in Sydney.

Funkverkehr mit Afrika und Java

Nachdem seit 1911 unternommene Versuche erfolgreich abgeschlossen werden konnten, Verbindungen der Funktelegraphie zwischen Deutschland und seinen Kolonien in Afrika herzustellen, wurde im Jahre 1914 der Funkdienst von Nauen nach Togo, Deutsch-Südwestafrika und Kamerun aufgenommen.
Während des Ersten Weltkrieges führten Hans Bredow, Egbert von Lepel und Alexander Meißner Versuche mit Sendern durch, die mit Elektronenröhren bestückt waren.

1917 schlug Bredow der niederländischen Regierung vor, eine Funktelegraphie-Verbindung nach Java aufzubauen. Dieser Vorschlag wurde positiv entschieden und führte zum Bau der Station Radio Kootwijk in den Niederlanden im Jahre 1918 und der Station Radio Malabar nahe Bandung auf Java. Schon 1917 wurde Nauen zu einer Großstation für den Weltfunkverkehr ausgebaut, wie es Bredow vorgeschlagen hatte. Den Betriebsdienst übernahm die Firma Transradio-Gesellschaft, die Bredow leitete.

Im Ersten Weltkrieg wurde er zum Offizier (Leutnant) der Funkertruppe befördert.

Funkverkehr mit Südamerika, Wechsel in den Staatsdienst
Auf Bredows Betreiben hin begannen 1919 die Vorarbeiten zu einem Telegraphiedienst zwischen Deutschland und Argentinien, der zu Beginn 1924 verwirklicht wurde. Bredow wurde 1918 zum Vorsitzenden des Direktoriums der Telefunken-Gesellschaft ernannt. Im März 1919 wechselte Bredow als Ministerialdirektor zum Reichspostministerium und begann mit der Einrichtung eines "Reichsfunknetzes". Mitte 1919 konnte der Funkverkehr mit dem Ausland über zahlreiche Stationen aufgenommen werden, insbesondere wieder mit der Station in den USA.

Ausbau des Telegraphendienstes bis 1933

Am 19. November 1919 zeigte Bredow in einer öffentlichen Veranstaltung die Wirkungsweise des Unterhaltungsrundfunks. Der Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger berichtet hierüber:

Bredow verwendete zwei Jahre später in einem Vortrag erstmals den Begriff Rundfunk. Am 1. April 1921 wurde er zum Staatssekretär für das Telegrafen-, Fernsprech- und Funkwesen ernannt und begann mit der Organisation eines öffentlichen Rundfunks. 1922 erfolgte die erste Aufnahme eines öffentlichen funktelephonischen Dienstes, der der Übermittlung von Wirtschaftsnachrichten diente.

1923 wurde der Blitzfunkverkehr für Eilmeldungen mit besonders wichtigen Informationen aufgenommen und die ersten Sendungen zur Unterhaltung im Rundfunk aufgenommen. Da 1925 die Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft (RRG) gegründet wurde, ernannte man Bredow 1926 zum "Reichs-Rundfunk-Kommissar" und zum Vorsitzenden der RRG. Er war damit als Staatssekretär im Reichspostministerium der erste Mann für den Rundfunk in Deutschland und trieb den Ausbau der Senderinfrastruktur massiv voran. Anlässlich der Inbetriebnahme des Westdeutschen Rundfunks in Köln schrieb er in seinem Geleitwort:

Am 30. Januar 1933 reichte Bredow seinen Rücktritt ein. Die NSDAP-Zeitschrift des Reichsverbandes Deutscher Rundfunkteilnehmer E.V., Der Deutsche Sender, schrieb nach Jahren der Stimmungsmache gegen Bredow in ihrer Ausgabe vom 26. Februar 1933: "Staatssekretär Dr. Bredow, der technische Kommissar, erhielt den nachgesuchten Abschied. An seine Stelle tritt Staatssekretär Dr.-Ing. Kruckow." Am 26. Oktober 1933 wurde ihm die Ehrenbürgerwürde der Stadt Rendsburg entzogen, die er erst auf Magistratsbeschluss  vom 16. November 1948 zurückerhielt. Als Bredows engste Mitarbeiter verhaftet wurden, bat er in einem Telegramm an Reichspräsident Paul von Hindenburg und Hitler um deren Freilassung; im Falle der Ablehnung verlangte er, ihr Schicksal zu teilen. Daraufhin wurde auch er verhaftet und verbrachte 16 Monate im Untersuchungsgefängnis Berlin-Moabit. Seine und Hans Fleschs Verurteilung durch das Landgericht Berlin wegen Teilnahme am Parteiverrat wurde im Februar 1937 durch das Reichsgericht aufgehoben, das Verfahren vor dem Landgericht Berlin dann im März 1938 eingestellt.

Nachkriegsaufgaben
Vom 24. April bis zum 4. August 1945 war Bredow Oberpräsident der preußischen Provinz Nassau in Wiesbaden. Von 1949 bis 1951 war er Vorsitzender des Verwaltungsrates des Hessischen Rundfunks. Im Rahmen der Neuordnung der Aufsicht der deutschen Industrie durch die Alliierten wurde Bredow außerdem am 1. Dezember 1945 zum Vorsitzenden des Aufsichtsrates von Buderus gewählt.

Das Grab von Hans Bredow befindet sich auf dem Friedhof Neuwerk (Rendsburg).

Q: View Perl Variables as Bytes/Bits Disclaimer: It's been ages since I've done any perl, so if I'm asking/saying something stupid please correct me.
Is it possible to view a byte/bit representation of a perl variable?  That is, if I say something like
my $foo = 'a';

I know (think?) the computer sees $foo as something like
0b1100010

Is there a way to get perl to print out the binary representation of a variable?
(Not asking for any practical purpose, just tinkering around with a old friend and trying to understand it more deeply than I did in 1997)

A: The place to start if you want the actual internals is a document called "perlguts".  Either perldoc perlguts or read it here: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlguts.html

A: After seeing the way that Andy interpreted your question, I can follow up by saying that Devel::Peek has a Dump function which can show the internal representation of a variable. It won't take it to the binary level, but if what you are interested in is the internals, you might look at this.
$ perl -MDevel::Peek -e 'my $foo="a";Dump $foo';
SV = PV(0x7fa8a3004e78) at 0x7fa8a3031150
  REFCNT = 1
  FLAGS = (PADMY,POK,pPOK)
  PV = 0x7fa8a2c06190 "a"\0
  CUR = 1
  LEN = 16

$ perl -MDevel::Peek -e 'my %bar=(x=>"y",a=>"b");Dump \%bar'
SV = IV(0x7fbc5182d6e8) at 0x7fbc5182d6f0
  REFCNT = 1
  FLAGS = (TEMP,ROK)
  RV = 0x7fbc51831168
  SV = PVHV(0x7fbc5180c268) at 0x7fbc51831168
    REFCNT = 2
    FLAGS = (PADMY,SHAREKEYS)
    ARRAY = 0x7fbc5140f9f0  (0:6, 1:2)
    hash quality = 125.0%
    KEYS = 2
    FILL = 2
    MAX = 7
    RITER = -1
    EITER = 0x0
    Elt "a" HASH = 0xca2e9442
    SV = PV(0x7fbc51804f78) at 0x7fbc51807340
      REFCNT = 1
      FLAGS = (POK,pPOK)
      PV = 0x7fbc5140fa60 "b"\0
      CUR = 1
      LEN = 16
    Elt "x" HASH = 0x9303a5e5
    SV = PV(0x7fbc51804e78) at 0x7fbc518070d0
      REFCNT = 1
      FLAGS = (POK,pPOK)
      PV = 0x7fbc514061a0 "y"\0
      CUR = 1
      LEN = 16

A: And one more way:
printf "%v08b\n", 'abc';

output:
01100001.01100010.0110001

(The v flag is a perl-only printf/sprintf feature and also works with numeric formats other than b.)
This differs from the unpack suggestion where there are characters greater than "\xff": unpack will only return the 8 low bits (with a warning), printf '%v...' will show all the bits:
$ perl -we'printf "%vX\n", "\cA\13P\x{1337}"'
1.B.50.1337

A: Sure, using unpack:
print unpack "B*", $foo;

Example:
% perl -e 'print unpack "B*", "bar";'
011000100110000101110010

The perldoc pages for pack and perlpacktut give a nice overview about converting between different representations.

A: You can use ord to return the numeric value of a character, and printf with a %b format to display that value in binary.
print "%08b\n", ord 'a'

output
01100010

Plans call for it to be located just south of the baseball and softball concession stand, he said.
The amount approved by council is for the purchase of the equipment and the installation by GameTime, said Borton.
"Then there's money left in the budget for a concrete pad, which will be done locally here," said Borton.
Council also issued a purchase order for $92,950 to National Fitness Campaign LLC, of San Francisco, for a fitness court and National Campaign Resources.
"We discussed both of these items at length during the budget process," said City Administrator Mike Beazley.
The fitness court is a comprehensive outdoor circuit training system that supports 28 simultaneous users on 30 separate pieces of equipment. The fitness court provides seven minute training modules for adults of all ages and fitness levels. The system is integrated with a sports floor to simulate an indoor gym.
The fitness court is supported by National Campaign Resources, a digital ecosystem that includes a mobile app, the campaign's social media support team, promotional materials and programming to assist public agencies.
The program includes a $30,000 grant, which is deducted from the funds required for the fitness court and National Campaign Resources from sponsors of the National Fitness Campaign.


My 3,5y old son was recently diagnosed with social anxiety. At home he is a very outgoing kid, that loves to play and basically do anything a 3y old does. At school he is shy and does not engage with peers. I'm looking for a preschool (Berkeley/Albany/El Cerrito) that has experience with kids with social anxiety or kids that have difficulties warming up. Any recommendations or suggestions are more than welcome.
Hi! We went with a co-op preschool, ECPC, which I realize not everyone can do. My daughter was absolutely terrified and spend the first several months glued to one particular teacher, who kindly and patiently waited for her to become comfortable with her friends and surroundings. The photos tell the whole story - in her first year class photo, she's standing off to the side, glaring at the camera; in her second-year class photo, she is front and center, sitting criss-cross applesauce with her gang of "jungle girrrrrls!" The nice thing about a co-op is that a parent can be on-site without being in the kid's face all the time. I'm very grateful that we had this opportunity. She's still shy! But she very bravely deals with it.


Cadillac is planning to extend its XT lineup of crossovers. While there is Escalade variation dominating in full-size segment, the company will try to downsize it and make it somewhat less elegant, as well as costly. The 2019 Cadillac XT6 might be the reaction to the growing competition. This would be a 3-row crossover that will take a position just above the existing Caddy XT5. Whatsoever, rumors about 2019 XT6 as a hybrid are making this SUV even more appealing. With such big additions, the US carmaker plans to revive interest from old fans and younger population.
The base system for the 2019 Cadillac XT6 will be a petrol engine. It is still unidentified which one. Nevertheless, it doesn't stop us to follow info from rumors and professionals viewpoints. A 3.6-liter V-6 seems to be a preferred to take the position under the bonnet of the upcoming Cadillac XT6. The drivetrain is going to be capable to deliver 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. Engineers will probably use an 8-speed car transmission. We can discover this transmission on Escalade.
The same gas unit might be utilized as the base engine for the hybrid mix. In addition, there are 2 electric motors to help 2019 Cadillac XT6 achieve much better outputs. Mileage, horsepower, and torque, all will get higher numbers with the plug-in drivetrain. However, it is more crucial that Caddy will enter this market in the SUV segment. Some services might be the like for the Cadillac CT6 sedan. This car currently has the hybrid engine, and its success made chiefs considering a launch of a plug-in crossover. If rumors come to life, the 2019 Cadillac XT6 will be the first SUV in the household with such powertrain.
The 2019 Cadillac XT6 will utilize the exact same platform as the smaller sized XT5. That implies we will see the existing vehicle as a bigger SUV. However, Caddy XT6 will have special design options, in addition to the hybrid drivetrain. Spy shots captured a screening mule, and specialists think it might be the XT6 crossover. The appearance of this vehicle, although heavy covered, ensure us we will see it soon.

Did all the clock and watchmakers joined the Clockmakers' Company?
There were "great (large) tower clocks of iron" made in England from the 13th century (see Beeson- English Church Clocks 1280-1850). Old St Paul's Cathedral had a clock made in 1286 by Bartholomew, the clockmaker. In 1344 another clockmaker, Wauter Lorgoner of Southwark, was engaged to make a dial for inside the church and restore the old clock. Southwark was the area where a number of the later turret clockmakers settled in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Most of the metal workers in London were freemen of the Blacksmiths' Company (BC) which had been formed in the 14th century but did not receive its charter until 1471. The Goldsmiths had formed their own company in 1180 and the Armourers' Company was founded in 1422. Although the Founders broke away from the BC to form their own company in 1614, there were brass founders who chose to stay in the BC and worked through the 17th century.
It was a natural progression for the blacksmiths working with iron to make iron Tower (turret) Clocks, and they became known as the "great clockmakers".
Fig 1: Great tower clock at Middle Temple - William Clement 1667
There were a number of clockmakers working in the BC when the watchmakers arrived from Europe in the middle of the 16th century. The watchmakers were drawn to the BC because of the presence of clockmakers in that company, since watchmaking was similar to clockmaking. By the end of the 16th century there were English watchmakers working in the BC, craftsmen like John English, Piers Powell and Robert Grinkin were established before the end of the century.
A further influx of foreign craftsmen, who settled outside the City boundary and practiced their trade without any restrictions, antagonised the watchmakers in the BC at the beginning of the 17th century. Robert Grinkin, a warden of the BC by 1617, together with his former apprentices decided to petition the King in order to form their own company so that they could regulate and control the watchmaking trade in and around London.
They were joined by John Smith, a former apprentice of John English and James Vautrolier, son Thomas a denizen watchmaker from France, who was freed by patrimony in 1610. These freemen of the BC together with one or two other watchmakers from other companies signed a petition in 1622 to form their own company of watchmakers.
They were unsuccessful at that time but the BC tried to accommodate the watchmakers in a joint company and enrolled the foreign watchmakers in 1628. No agreement could be reached so the watchmakers tried again to purchase their own charter from the King and were successful in 1631.
Fig 2. Dover Castle clock movement
It was the former apprentices of Robert Grinkin – Sampson Shelton, John Willow, Richard Morgan, John Harris and Robert Grinkin junior who were responsible for running the new company in its early years, together with John Smith and James Vautrolier. While Robert Grinkin's first apprentice, Edmund Bull, his last apprentice Richard Crayle and the apprentices of John Willow and Richard Morgan were responsible for the continued success of watchmaking in the BC.
Robert Grinkin's trade descent can be traced right through the 17th and 18th centuries culminating with watchmakers who were also making chronometers as well as watches in the early 19th century. (Note: You can find the trade descents of Robert Grinkin and many other 17th and 18th century clockmakers in my book Early clock and watchmakers of the Blacksmiths' Company).
Fig. 3: An early lantern clock - Anon
Unfortunately, the new company was called the Clockmakers' Company but the great clockmakers wished to remain in the Blacksmiths' Company – the mother company, so the result was a second company of clockmakers was formed. The Common Council in 1636 had stipulated that the watchmakers could only invite watchmakers and the makers of domestic clocks to join the new company. The Clockmakers' Company (CC) obeyed this rule until the Fire of London in 1666 but after the Fire they started to enrol the 'great' clockmakers, and so craftsmen like Daniel Quare and Thomas Tompion were enrolled as great clockmakers in the 1670s.
Although the watchmakers had gained their independence by forming the Clockmakers' Company, they struggled to survive during the 17th century. While the clock and watchmakers in the BC continued to prosper. Most of the Wardens and Masters of the BC throughout the 17th century were in fact clock and watchmakers. So one could argue that the BC was the first Company of Clockmakers and the new company formed in 1631 was actually the second Company of Clockmakers.
By the third quarter of the 17th century the clockmakers in the BC were supplying clock movements to the clockmakers in the CC.
You can read more about the struggles between the two companies in "Early Clock and Watchmakers of the Blacksmiths' Company" and also the progress made by the clock and watchmakers in the BC as they spread to other parts of England.

The latest forecast from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that flu activity is likely to increase in the next two to four weeks and that the highest flu activity will likely occur in the next two months.
The weekly forecast, part of an initiative to predict outbreaks and encourage vaccination, says there is "about a 65 percent chance that the highest flu activity for this season will occur by the end of January and a greater than 95 percent chance that the highest flu activity will occur by the end of February."
According to the CDC's weekly flu report of Jan. 12, outpatient visits for flu symptoms are at or above baseline levels in all regions of the country and the flu is geographically widespread in 30 states, including Massachusetts.
However, rates of hospitalization and numbers of pediatric deaths are far below figures for last year's severe season at this time and laboratory tests of submitted flu viruses show similarity to this season's flu vaccine.
The Jan. 12 report indicates that the majority of laboratory-tested influenza viruses between Sept. 30, 2018 and Jan. 12 appear to be "similar to the cell-grown reference viruses representing the 2018-2019 Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccine viruses."
Last year's flu season was a severe one across the country, and overall vaccine effectiveness was below the general range of 40 to 60 percent but this year's may result in better protection during a season where different influenza A viruses - the H1N1 and not the H3N2 - have predominated so far.
This year's common trivalent formulation vaccines were modified to contain an A/Singapore/INFIMH-16-0019/2016 (H3N2)-like virus to better match circulating H3N2 strain viruses and a B/Colorado/06/2017-like virus (B/Victoria lineage).
This B strain is a change from last year's B/Brisbane/60/2008-like (B/Victoria lineage) virus and done to compensate for mutations detected in the antigenically drifted B/Victoria lineage virus.
The vaccine also has the A/Michigan/45/2015 (H1N1) pdm09-like virus as did the 2017-18 vaccine.
The quadrivalent influenza vaccines contain the same three strains as well as the B strain - B/Phuket/3073/2013-like virus (B/Yamagata lineage).
The modifications appear to be a fairly good match thus far with the circulating influenza A(H2N3)/Singapore and A(H1N1)/Michigan-lineage viruses and influenza B/Yamagata-lineage viruses.
According to part of the Jan. 12 report,"136 A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses were antigenically characterized, and 134 (98.5 percent) were antigenically similar (analyzed using HI with ferret antisera) to A/Michigan/45/2015 (6B.1), a cell-propagated A/Michigan/45/2015-like reference virus representing the A(H1N1)pdm09 component for the 2018-19 Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccines."
CDC has antigenically or genetically characterized 562 influenza viruses collected Sept. 30, 2018 through Jan. 12, and submitted by U.S. laboratories, including 341 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses, 163 influenza A(H3N2) viruses, and 58 influenza B viruses.
"Antigenic and genetic characterization of circulating influenza viruses," according to the CDC, "gives an indication of the influenza vaccine's ability to induce an immune response against the wide array of influenza viruses that are co-circulating every season."
More people are vaccinated it seems, perhaps helping to make for a more moderate flu season as well.
According to figures released in November by the CDC, more people at that time had received their recommended annual flu shot than a year earlier.
Flu vaccination coverage among children aged 6 months through 17 years was 45.6 percent, according to the mid-November estimate, an increase of 6.8 percentage points compared with the same time period last flu season.
Flu vaccination coverage among adults aged 18 years of age and older was 44.9 percent, an increase of 6.4 percentage points compared with the same time period last flu season.
Coverage increased for children aged 6 months through 12 years and among all adult age groups.
The overall effectiveness of last year's vaccine against influenza A and influenza B virus infection was about 40 percent. This means overall the seasonal flu vaccine reduced the risk of getting sick and having to go to the doctor from flu by about one third.
Its effectiveness against the A(H3N2) viruses - the predominate strain last year - was about 25 percent. H3N2 viruses are said to change more frequently between the time the vaccine is composed and when it is delivered, according to the CDC.
The vaccine was about 65 percent against A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses, and was 49 percent against influenza B viruses, according to the CDC.
During the 2017-2018 flu influenza like illness activity was high in January and February and remained elevated through the end of March. It peaked at 7.5 percent, the highest percentage since the 2009 flu pandemic caused by novel H1N1 viruses, which peaked at 7.7 percent.
Influenza-like illness activity was at or above the national baseline for 19 weeks, making the 2017-2018 season one of the longest in recent years, according to the CDC.
The CDC has estimated 48.8 million people got sick with influenza during last year's flu season with some, 22.7 million people going to a health care provider, 959,000 related hospitalizations, and some 79,400 deaths - including those of 185 children - from influenza.
The CDC estimated Jan. 11 that to date this season between about 6 million and 7 million people have been sick with flu, saying up to half of those people have sought medical care for their illness, and between 69,000 and 84,000 people have been hospitalized with flu between Oct. 1 and Jan. 12.
There have been 19 pediatric deaths so far.
The CDC has noted that these figures mean the flu "is still taking a serious toll this season" even if 2018-2019 is proving to be less severe.
The CDC recommends vaccination even late in the flu season as viruses continue to circulate.
Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can put young children and the elderly as well as individuals with underlying medical conditions at risk for severe complications.

OnlyFans – the online platform dominated by 'sexfluencers' – isn't slowing down even with the tech downturn. But it is private. Here are 3 high-growth stocks that you can buy
Adult entertainment platform OnlyFans appears to be beating the rest of the tech sector. The number of creators and subscribers alike has grown in recent months, according to company CEO Amrapali "Ami" Gan.
"We're not seeing any slowdown," Gan told Axios.
OnlyFans launched in 2016, but its popularity has exploded during the pandemic, when celebrities and bored regular people alike stuck in quarantine started creating their own accounts and pushing content.
But the rise of "sexual influencers," or content creators who focus on sex and relationships, offers an interesting lesson in market dynamics.
sin economics
Fictional mobster Tony Soprano once said there were only two companies that were against a recession: adult entertainment and "our thing." Turns out he was right. According to researchers at the LSE Center for Economic Performance, recessions push more people into criminal activities. They also boost demand for all forms of adult entertainment, including pornography, alcohol, gambling, and tobacco.
The phenomenon is so well understood that investors and researchers have a term for it: "false stocks." Sen stocks such as Anheuser-Busch (NYSE: BUD) and British American Tobacco (NYSE: BTI) have outperformed the S&P 500 in 2022 by wide margins.
Meanwhile, OnlyFans seems to have avoided much of the pain that is spreading across the tech sector. The company has announced only one small round of layoffs in 2022, while media giants like Twitter and Netflix have lost up to 50% of their workforce.
In fact, OnlyFans is profitable. Since 2020, the platform has provided at least $500 million in net profits to its owner, Leonid Radvinsky. Gunn says the number of content creators has expanded to 3 million this year. These "sexual influencers" combine sexual content with traditional online influencer models to generate up to $900,000 per month.
Unfortunately, retail investors are missing out on this amusing growth story as OnlyFans remains a private company. That is unlikely to change as Jan says the team is "happy to be privately owned". However, there are other ways that investors can bet on the adult entertainment sector in 2023.

RCI Hospitality (NASDAQ:RICK) operates more than 40 strip clubs across the country. CEO Eric Langan said the company is "recession-proof" and that "business is very, very good and we continue to generate record revenue quarter after quarter."
Nearly half (45%) of the company's revenue is derived from sales of alcoholic beverages, which tend to be marked up in strip clubs. Simply put, the company has pricing power in the midst of a recession and record high inflation.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the company reported a 29.9% growth in revenue and a 71.6% growth in net free cash flow. The stock is up 95.8% since July.
Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc. (NASDAQ: GLPI) is a professional real estate investment corporation that owns 57 casinos across 17 states. These casino properties are occupied by well-known brands such as Penn Entertainment, Caesars Entertainment, Boyd Gaming Corporation, Casino Queen, Bally's, and Cordish Companies.
All contracts are 'triple net' leases which puts the company in a favorable position. GLPI stock is up 8.5% over the past year, trades at 21 times earnings per share, and offers a 5.6% dividend yield.
ETF vice
If you'd rather not pick individual stocks to sin, there is a fund that makes it easy to bet on this phenomenon. AdvisorShares Vice ETF (NYSEARCA:VICE) has more than $8.5 million in assets under management and holds wrongfull stocks like Heineken, Monarch Casinos and MGP Ingredients.
The stock is up 6.5% over the past six months.

Honoring Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2015
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), an opportunity to pause as a nation and collectively reflect on the dynamics and impact of interpersonal violence; to recognize the lived experiences of women and men who have been victimized at the hands of an intimate partner; and, to celebrate the strength and will of survivors.
DVAM, however, is more than a time to spread awareness.
Domestic violence affects millions of Americans, including 1 in 4 women in their lifetime. With a problem of this scale, the month of October is a reminder of the work that's been done – and which still remains – to end the violence and to prevent future generations from experiencing its harmful effects. DVAM is a call to action. Indeed, in the 2015 National Domestic Violence Awareness Month Proclamation, President Obama affirms:
"Safeguarding and opening doors of opportunity for every American will remain a driving focus for our country – and we know that crimes like domestic violence inhibit our Nation from reaching its fullest potential. This month, let us once again pledge our unwavering support to those in need and recognize the advocates, victim service providers, and organizations who work tirelessly to extend hope and healing to survivors and victims every day."
Over the last 20 years, the Justice Department's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) has supported the efforts of those on the front lines to answer the call. After the enactment of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) on September 13, 1994, OVW was created the following year and tasked with leading the Federal government in helping communities to implement this groundbreaking legislation. Specifically, OVW administers grant programs and provides training and technical assistance for criminal justice agencies, victim service organizations, and other state, local, and tribal entities to combat not only domestic violence, but also sexual assault, dating violence, sex trafficking, and stalking.
Highlights from this past year alone demonstrate the unique ways in which OVW's financial and technical assistance offer opportunities for communities to develop, strengthen, and sustain their anti-violence efforts:
In honor of VAWA's 20th anniversary, last October OVW embarked on a year-long national tour, meeting with advocates, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, healthcare professionals, and other leaders across the country to learn more about their initiatives to curb domestic and sexual violence. OVW gathered vital information about the impact of VAWA funding as well as both victories and challenges communities experience in addressing violence.
The tour inspired robust dialogue with stakeholders on a wide range of issues, including the importance of assessing and improving the coordinated community response – a cornerstone of effective violence prevention. In addition, persistent service needs were identified, such as: safe and affordable housing options for survivors, more victim-centered legal services, trauma-informed approaches within healthcare settings, and culturally-specific services with an understanding of the distinct ways in which domestic violence impacts vulnerable populations, such as women of color, those living in poverty, LGBT individuals, and women with disabilities.
Momentum around implementation of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA 2013) accelerated over the last year, prompting a need for additional OVW response.
In April, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) proposed a rule to implement the VAWA 2013 protections in nearly all HUD programs. The final rule will more adequately support victims desiring to leave their abusers by reducing fear of homelessness and housing discrimination. OVW has provided input on the proposed rule and will collaborate with grantees and other stakeholders to support effective implementation of the final rule.
In March, another VAWA 2013 provision took effect that increases protection for Native women by recognizing a "special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction" over persons who commit this crime in Indian country. Tribes now have the authority to charge and prosecute all offenders who commit acts of domestic violence on their lands. In DOJ's upcoming Violence Against Women Tribal Consultation in November, this critical provision and related topics concerning violence against Native women will be discussed.
OVW funding supported the development of several comprehensive online resources for advocates, service providers, policymakers, and others this year.
This summer, OVW announced The Center for Changing Our Campus Culture [external link], a clearinghouse on domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking for institutions of higher education. The website provides the latest information, materials, and resources for administrators, faculty and staff, law enforcement, victim service providers, students, parents and others invested in improving campus safety and the wellbeing of college and university students.
Just last month, the Vera Institute of Justice unveiled the first website dedicated to ending abuse against people with disabilities [external link]. Through various tools and guidance, the site seeks to raise awareness of these often "invisible victims," enhance services for survivors with disabilities, and connect those advocating for this population.
Finally, OVW grant support is playing a key role in realizing an improved criminal justice response to crimes like domestic violence and sexual assault. OVW released a $2.8 million funding opportunity for a Sexual Assault Justice Initiative to improve prosecutions and the justice system's overall handling of sexual assault cases. Additionally, over $26 million in OVW grants were recently awarded to strengthen arrest policies, enforcement of protection orders, and partnerships between criminal justice agencies and community-based organizations striving to improve victim safety and offender accountability.
As the President reminds us, "Though we have made great progress in bringing awareness to and providing protections against domestic violence, much work remains to be done." This October, OVW joins its Federal and community partners in looking back at our successes while also marching forward to continue the momentum. Month to month, step by step, we can change our culture and break the cycle of violence for good.

Defendant Convicted of Three Counts of Murder in Indian Country
Today, a man was convicted of three counts of murder in Indian country after a week-long jury trial, announced Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Justice Department's Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Mark F. Green of the Eastern District of Oklahoma.
David Brian Magnan, 53, was convicted in the shooting deaths of three victims, James Howard, Karen Wolf and Lucilla McGirt, who were all members of the Seminole Nation. U.S. District Court Judge Ronald A. White of the Eastern District of Oklahoma presided over the trial.
The evidence presented at trial established that the victims were celebrating a birthday on the evening of March 1, 2004, at Howard's home. In the early morning hours of March 2, 2004, Magnan arrived at the home with two other men. Armed with a pistol, Magnan confronted an individual outside of the house and a fight ensued, after which Magnan shot the individual in the abdomen. Magnan then entered the home where he found the three victims asleep. He first confronted Howard, who he shot multiple times in the chest as he lay in bed. Magnan then moved to a bedroom where he found McGirt and Wolf sleeping. Magnan shot Wolf in the head and shot McGirt in the shoulder and head. McGirt survived that evening and identified Magnan as the shooter, but she ultimately succumbed to her wounds and died two weeks later. Following the shootings, Magnan and the two other men fled the scene and hid the murder weapon, which police subsequently recovered.
This case was investigated by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, the Seminole Nation Lighthorse Police and the FBI. The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Mike Sheckels of the Criminal Division's Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward Snow of the Eastern District of Oklahoma. Trial Attorney Richard Friedman of the Criminal Division's Appellate Section handled an interlocutory appeal.

Peter B.DiFabio left a message on November 4, 2011:
I was so sad to hear of Larry&s passing. I spent a couple of years working for Larry at his gas station in West Lafayette during high school. He taught me more than how to pump gas. He gave me confidence by allowing me to run his business at certain times at such a young age. He taught me that precision is not only important in the tune up of a car but one must precise when dealing with your business as well. I can&t help but think that those lessons many years ago have stayed with me to this day, I own and operate two businesses of my own.
Thanks Larry
God bless you and your family in this most difficult time.

The Minister of National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, denounces "Islamo-leftism" which "is wreaking havoc at the university"
"Our society has been far too permeable to currents of thought. What is called Islamo-leftism is wreaking havoc," the minister said on Europe 1 Thursday morning.
In particular, he targeted the student union UNEF, as well as rebellious France. The Minister of National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, denounced Thursday, October 22 "Islamo-leftism" who "wreaks havoc on the university", during an interview with Europe 1.
"Our society has been far too permeable to currents of thought. What we call Islamo-leftism is taking its toll," said Jean-Michel Blanquer. "It wreaks havoc at the university, it wreaks havoc when the UNEF gives in to this type of thing, it wreaks havoc when in the ranks of France Insoumise, you have people who are of that current and are displayed as such. "
These people favor an ideology which then, from time to time, leads to the worst.Jean-Michel Blanquer, Minister of National Educationto Europe 1
Calling for "fight fanaticism", the Minister of National Education pointed out all forms of "intellectual complicity" crimes such as the assassination of Professor Samuel Paty, killed near his college in Conflans Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines) for showing caricatures of Mahomet.
These comments follow a political escalation since the attack on Friday. The Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmanin, sparked a controversy on Tuesday, saying to himself "shocked" by sight of the rays "community" supermarkets.

As I mentioned in my last post, I went with a bit of a muted and natural color scheme with our Christmas decor this year as a way to mix things up and make decorating for the season fun. I think it all started with the addition of magnolia, which naturally encouraged more brown tones since the back of their leaves are brown. I'm sure red return in our Christmas home in future years, but it's nice to take a little break now and then too. I thought it would be fun to share some of the images that inspired me this season. This feels a whole lot like a blog post I would have done about 6 years ago, before pinterest and instagram changed the way we all share inspiration. These images (at least most of them) and links to their sources can be found on my Christmas Pinterest Board too.
Now I'm off to trim our tree. Literally, trim the tree, because it is taking over our family room. And smells quite heavenly too! Happy Sunday, friends!
So many great looks. I really am drawn to the brown and green, especially if some checked material is thrown in!
