Yishai Jusidman's 'Prussian Blue' comes to Fresno State with a free exhibition
(Source: Fresno State)
Fresno State's Center for Creativity and the Arts will launch its 2019-20 theme "Art and Identity: Boundaries and Perceptions" with a compelling exhibition that explores the Jewish Holocaust through intentional use of colors associated with gas, mineral and flesh in his series of paintings "Prussian Blue."
The "Yishai Jusidman: Prussian Blue" exhibition will run from Sept. 19 to Oct. 31 in the Phebe Conley Art Gallery at Fresno State during regular gallery hours. Jusidman will deliver an artist talk at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 19 at the Peters Education Center Auditorium inside the Student Recreation Center. An opening night reception will follow at 5 p.m. at the Phebe Conley Art Gallery. All events are free and open to the public.
Organized by the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City, the exhibition has traveled to additional venues in Mexico, the U.S. and China, and is set to show in Buenos Aires in the winter of 2020. Jusidman's work has also appeared in New York, Belgium, Mexico City, Madrid, Venice, Finland, San Francisco, Paris, Miami and more.
German chemist Heinrich Diesbach discovered the color Prussian blue in the early 1700s. Considered by many to be the first modern synthetic pigment to be artificially developed, it was also one of the first to be widely used by painters in Europe. With a high resistance to fading when exposed to light, the pigment was used to color the fabric of Prussian military uniforms in the 18th and 19th centuries.
"There are colors whose historical implications overpower their symbolic connotations and even the changing perception of their optical energy and formal potential. Among such colors is Prussian blue," Cuauhtémoc Medina — an art critic, curator and historian — wrote in an essay about Jusidman's exhibition.
Prussian blue continued to color German history in the early 1940s, once Nazis found a disinfectant and insecticide called Zyklon-B, which was effective at killing large numbers of people quickly. The compound was primarily made up of hydrocyanic acid as the lethal component, infused into mineral pellets that were exposed to air in the sealed chambers.
As the toxic cocktail perpetrated the mechanized genocide, it also combined, through an accidental chemical reaction, with the iron oxide in bricks and mortar -- leaving the gas chamber walls in camps such as Majdanek and Stutthof in Poland with eerie deep blue stains that turned out to be chemically identical to the pigment Prussian blue.
Jewish Mexican artist Jusidman resorts to the colors associated with gas, mineral and flesh in his series of paintings Prussian Blue, which depict spaces, memories and stains of the Holocaust, also refered to as the "Shoa" in Hebrew. Using photographs as source material, Jusidman restricted himself to using only three coloring materials — Prussian blue paint, diatomaceous earth as a translucent filler and flesh-colored paints.
"In my Prussian Blue series, I address the Holocaust in painting by seeking to generate the pictorial impression of a silence as solemn and forthright as it is eloquent, thus furnishing an alternative to the fatalistic strictures that have stifled the production of works dealing with this subject," said Jusidman.
"The emotional rawness of these paintings not only emphasizes an architecture, but also a landscape filtered in equal measure through the emotion of Romanticism and the barbarie of war and genocide," said Medina. He went on to say that the result is a remarkably balanced body of work, which finds relationships and tensions between color and history, perception and materiality, picture and painting.
He goes on to say, "There isn't here a judgment on the Shoah, but a meditative approach to the extraordinary burdens of addressing it with the battered resources of painting. While the materiality and historicity of pigments is the cement that holds together this project, those who pause to behold the whole of 'Prussian Blue' will be rewarded with the emotional and reflexive experiences that these paintings are able to provoke."
Parking is $5 in suggested lot P5 for all events. A limited number of free parking codes are available by contacting Dr. Cindy Urrutia, director of the Center for Creativity and the Arts. If you require special accommodations, please call (559) 278-2516. For questions, email artanddesignsa@mail.fresnostate.edu.

We were fortunate to walk with giraffes whilst in Africa and also to witness "necking" or "play fighting" between 2 males. It was fascinating to watch them bending and swaying and entwining their necks around each other.
This was taken in the middle of the day where you don't as a rule get to see much as the animals tend to rest out of the sun. We were very fortunate to come across these 2 juvenile elephants that were tussling and playing together. We had to reverse back several times as they headed our way.
I have to say that Thornybush Private Game Reserve on the edge of Kruger NP was a fabulous experience. FAR better than Kruger as we got to see so many more animals, went bush when the trackers thought they saw something worthwhile which was a LOT of fun and we even did a coupe of private safaris here.

Q: How to determine $\partial_x f(x(r,\Theta),y(r,\Theta)) = f(r \cdot \cos(\Theta), r \cdot \sin(\Theta))$? Is the derivative even expressible? I can't really simplify the expression, unless saying it's equal to: $\partial_x  f(r \cdot \cos(\Theta), r \cdot \sin(\Theta))$.
Or do I have to apply some chain-rule?
I could also be equal to $\partial_x x(r,\Theta) \cdot \partial_xf + \partial_xy(r,\Theta)\cdot \partial_yf$. But doesn't make a lot of sense to me since no x really occurs in the expanded equations.

Our Role in Ensuring AI is a Force for Good
Photo Credit: Jess Galvez
AI for Good series kicks off with three unique perspectives on the ethical considerations and implications of artificial intelligence.
By Izzy Pirimai Aguiar
The kickoff session of the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME)'s seminar series, AI for Good, walked the balance of being challenging yet accessible, focused yet interdisciplinary, controversial yet fair, grounded yet thought-provoking.
The opening seminar of the series, Is AI a Force for Good? was a panel conversation moderated by Scott Penberthy, the head of Applied AI at Google. The panel consisted of Rob Reich, Professor of Political Science and Director of the McCoy Center for Ethics in Society, Margot Gerritsen, Professor of Energy Resources Engineering and Senior Associate Dean of the School of Earth, and Sharad Goel, Founder & Executive Director of the Stanford Computational Policy Lab and Assistant Professor in Management Science & Engineering. Each of the three panelists brought to the discussion a unique perspective on the implications and responsibilities surrounding the ethics of Artificial Intelligence.
Reich's training as a Philosopher influenced his thoughtful, eloquent, and philosophically challenging remarks surrounding the issue. Reich described how the ethical and moral problems presented by Artificial Intelligence are those which travel beyond personal ethics ("how do I be a good person?") and into professional and social ethics. Drawing upon the equivalent standards in medicine and biological sciences (e.g. the Hippocratic Oath, Institutional Review Board), Reich provoked the necessity of professional standards in the AI community. He questioned how in political and social decisions regarding AI one will referee problems surrounding privacy, targeting, and other ethical considerations. While he noted that there is not one correct answer, he cautioned the urgency of addressing these questions.
"AI scientists are now extremely powerful social actors making ethical decisions which affect all of us." --- Professor Rob Reich
Reich added that AI is a tool used to make processes more efficient, more optimal, and that we need to question if the ends to which we are applying our tools are independently worthwhile. "We are relying on the AI scientist or the company using AI alone to decide what is good and what is not good, and we need to be able to do it ourselves."
Gerritsen in turn brought ethical considerations and perspectives informed by her experiences working in the engineering and data science fields. Throughout her career Gerritsen has always been interested in the robustness, accuracy, and trustworthiness of the models and methods she's used, and it's these considerations which she sees lacking from the wide implementations of AI. When AI started gaining traction, it promised the ability to do what experts had spent years developing and studying, but without knowing the underlying physics, science, or models. Gerritsen saw a very rapid adoption of these techniques, and without the understanding of the liability or trustworthiness of the models they produced. "We are in a period where AI is being used by everybody for everything, sometimes without understanding what the question is." This, to Gerritsen, is an ethical dilemma, one that in practice can be addressed by teaching people what AI can and cannot do, what can and cannot be understood, and by developing tools to more robustly understand solutions.
"This is my big call to everybody here," Professor Margot Gerritsen appealed to the audience, "study more than just the algorithm."
In the world today, so many decisions are based on AI or other algorithms, and it's critical for researchers and implementers to not only understand the algorithm they're using, but the subject to which it's applied, as well. To aspiring engineers in the audience, Gerritsen added that given the wealth of resources and class options at Stanford, "there is no excuse" not to pursue a holistic, liberal arts education. These different perspectives and ways of thought will help future engineers make ethical decisions regarding AI.
Perfectly bridging the perspectives of Reich and Gerritsen, Goel's experience is in designing and deploying algorithms to aid public policy decisions. Goel described his current project being implemented in the District Attorney's office in San Francisco which makes prosecution decisions less impacted by implicit bias. Goel has built a platform which masks racial words and racial proxies which might influence an implicitly biased prosecution decision from the police report. Whereas this project is one which is inherently socially responsible, Goel added that it is also technically interesting and challenging. Goel's research group is also working on designing platforms which facilitate a door-to-door rideshare service for people who are likely to miss their trial date due to transportation issues. "These could change the lives of tens of thousands of people who are affected by our byzantine criminal justice system."
When discussing the potential for AI, Goel noted that "being humble is very, very important in this area, but very hard to do." Instead of understanding the technical material and thinking that they can do anything, AI scientists must remain humble, ask questions, gain additional perspectives. AI scientists, now, are among a small population of the world who can understand and implement this technical material.
"Just because we can do this thing that nobody else in the world can do, doesn't mean it's best for the world." --- Professor Sharad Goel
The panel this week left the audience excited and thoughtful about the wide range of ethical considerations surrounding artificial intelligence. Regarding the term, AI for good, Goel cautioned that these words tend to exclude those not interested or fluent in AI, and that we need to inclusively bring a range of expertise into the conversation. As we prepare for a new decade, a new year, a new quarter, and next week's session of this series, let us remember that this conversation is not only about how AI can be a force for good, but about how we can all do good, together.

If you are thinking of buying or selling land or property in the Yucatan, I would like to recommend Mr. Jorge Semerena and his team. I met Mr. Semerena in 2004 when I was attempting to buy my first house here in Chicxulub Puerto. I had met other realtors buy I was extremely disappointed with their services. The houses I had seen on the internet were sold, they were not showing me what I wanted, not very attentive to my needs. Long story short, I went back home empty handed and very disappointed. This is when I decided that, even though I did not speak spanish, I would use a mexican realtor. I found Mr. Semerena on the internet and after reaching his office, I was very pleased to find out he spoke perfect english.
He was attentive to my needs and ended up recommending me a listing that was not his because we could not come to an agreement with the seller of his listing. He then proceeded to negotiate an extremely good price for me. I could not be happier. This was the beginning of a great friendship. He is always there when I need advice and I have had the pleasure to buy and sell other properties through him and he and his team always go beyond what you can expect.
The team at Yucatan Properties is professional, experienced, attentive, honest and trustworthy. You do not have to worry about anything, they will take care of your every need. They answer your questions and make you feel very safe and secure buying property in a foreign land. They have your interest at heart.
It is a true pleasure for me to recommend Yucatan Properties and to make myself available to anyone who may have questions. You can reach me at YSylvain@aol.com.

Besides the three articles in the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, Brazilian data also appears in the latest issue of the American Economic Review.
We study the evolution of trade liberalization's effects on Brazilian local labor markets. Regions facing larger tariff cuts experienced prolonged declines in formal sector employment and earnings relative to other regions. The impact of tariff changes on regional earnings 20 years after liberalization was three times the effect after 10 years. These increasing effects on regional earnings are inconsistent with conventional spatial equilibrium models, which predict declining effects due to spatial arbitrage. We investigate potential mechanisms, finding empirical support for a mechanism involving imperfect interregional labor mobility and dynamics in labor demand, driven by slow capital adjustment and agglomeration economies. This mechanism gradually amplifies the effects of liberalization, explaining the slow adjustment path of regional earnings and quantitatively accounting for the magnitude of the long-run effects.

Vienna Coffeehouse Conversations
2 h 15 mins

Café Ministerium, Georg Coch-Platz 4, 1010 Wien

ionicons-v5-o eugene@whoosh.wien
At Vienna Coffeehouse Conversations, strangers sit down to eat or drink together, with a menu of questions to ask each other. The questions lead to stories among participants, and the evening is an adventure in storytelling. We want to revive the spirit of debate that existed in the coffeehouses 100 years ago.
The events are in English to allow people from all over the world to take part. After a brief introduction from us at Whoosh, you meet someone and enjoy fine Viennese food in a relaxed atmosphere.
Questions range from 'What was your best-ever mistake?', to 'Who has been your mentor?'. They are easy to understand, but difficult to answer. Previous dinners have led to weeks of email exchanges, where the pair continued to discuss the ideas presented. Other questions explore travel, friendship, work and inspiration.
Our aim is to sit down visitors with locals, one to one. For us, visitors - or outsiders - include musicians, conference attendees, resident diplomats and cultural travellers.
Look at the Tischgespraeche page on our site to learn more about the concept of a conversation meal, which we first staged in April 2012 (in German, at the Wien Museum).
The Vienna Coffeehouse Conversations build on Oxford University professor Theodore Zeldin's Conversation Meals, which have taken place as part of street festivals, in art galleries from London to Singapore, and at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The Guardian visited this event in 2018, and wrote some lovely analysis of their experience. Over 70 international publications have reported about the concept, with the latest Conde Nast Traveler, in December 2021.
Reviews of Coffeehouse Conversations on Trip Advisor
'I never wanted the evening to end.'
'This man, in two hours, expanded my world view in ways I'm still processing.'
'So refreshing to do away with the "small talk" and talk freely with nothing off the table. Wish we had it where I live in NYC.'
'The idea of the coffeehouse meeting between "locals" and "strangers" is truly unique and very worthwhile.'
Vienna Coffeehouse Conversations At Café Ministerium
Georg Coch-Platz 4, 1010 Wien
The Café Ministerium is a plush local favourite just off Vienna's Ringstrasse. Voted the most popular coffeehouse in the city centre, civil servants from the surrounding ministries love to lunch there on red velvety seats and marble tables. The Ministerium also serves as the 'extended living room' for a few regulars' tables and club meetings.
The café is on the Ring, just up the road from the Museum for Applied Arts (MAK). You can choose what to eat or drink on the evening.
Please register by sending Eugene an email, saying which date you will attend, and where you are from: eugene@whoosh.wien
Cost: €11. Please bring cash, since the cafe does not accept cards.
Couples and small groups are welcome.
This idea can be adapted for birthdays, conferences or office parties. Please call Eugene for more details.

Q: problems building python distribion containing netcdf4 I am trying to create a python distribution using pyinstaller, without success.  The command line used is:
pyinstaller ^
     --paths="C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages" ^
     --hidden-import="C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\netCDF4_utils.py" ^
    "C:\Users\...\Code\python\NCTSutil\NCTSU.spec"

The spec file used is:
# -*- mode: python -*-
a = Analysis(['C:\\Users\\...\\Code\\python\\NCTSutil\\NCTSU.py'],
             pathex=['C:\\Users\\...\\Code\\python\\NCTSutil'],
             hiddenimports=[],
             hookspath=['C:\\Users\\...\\Code\\python\\NCTSutil\\hooks'],
             runtime_hooks=None)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure)
exe = EXE(pyz,
          a.scripts,
          exclude_binaries=True,
          name='NCTSU.exe',
          debug=False,
          strip=None,
          upx=True,
          console=True )
coll = COLLECT(exe,
               a.binaries,
               a.zipfiles,
               a.datas,
               strip=None,
               upx=True,
               name='NCTSU')

Originally, I built the installable using only the hook path specified for the pubsub module (which I got off a web site).  When I tried running the executable I recieved the error
"Import error: No module named netCDF4_utils" when executable is run

Which I assumed was caused by the installer not being able to find some NetCDF4 dependencies. (the original package import is  "import netcdf4").
To try and solve this I tried specifying the hidden netCDF4_utils file both in the SPEC file and on the command line when running pyinstaller.  The variations of the spec file and command line and the associated errors are as follows:
1) the hidden path/file was specified in SPEC file, and the was path also given on command line.  This resulted in the error "Import error: No module named netCDF4_utils" when executable is run
2) the hidden path/file was specified on the command line but not in spec file.  This resulted in the 'compilation' error "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has not attribute 'split'"
3) the hidden file (but no path) was specified on command line, and the path was given separately on the command line (the hidden file was not given in spec file).  This results in the error  "Import error: No module named netCDF4_utils" when executable is run
     .
4) The hidden file(without path) was specified on the command line (and not in spec file) which results in the error "Import error: No module named netCDF4_utils" when executable is run
5) The hidden file was specified in SPEC file and the path to the file was given on command line.  This gave a compilation error of: "NameError: name 'netCDF_util' is not defined"
I have not tried writing a hook file as I cant figure out how to write them.
If anyone has any detailed advice on how to make pyinstaller find dependent files so that they can be included in the distribution that would be greatly appreciated.
This is being done on a win7 machine using python 2.7, and pyinstaller 2.1

A: Try to:

*

*remove the current pyinstaller: pip uninstall pyinstaller

*clone and install pyinstaller from the python3 branch (https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller)

*modify your .spec file from hiddenimports = [] to hiddenimports = ['netCDF4.utils', 'netcdftime']
This worked for me.

A: *

*It seems that there is a syntax error inside the file: hook-netCDF4.py

*This file is usually located inside python folder (according to your pyinstaller version):

C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller-3.4.dev0+3c87c135a-py2.7.egg\PyInstaller\hooks

*You have to open the file with a text editor and change "netCDF4.utils" in "netCDF4_utils"
The correct line inside the file should be:
hiddenimports = ['netCDF4_utils', 'netcdftime']

This solution worked for me solving the same problem.

Jodie L. Lutkenhaus es Profesora de Ingeniería Química en la Universidad de Texas A&M. Desarrolla polímeros activos basados en reacciones de reducción-oxidación para el almacenamiento de energía y recubrimientos inteligentes. En 2019 Lutkenhaus y Karen L. Wooley descubrieron la primera batería de péptidos biodegradables del mundo. Lutkenhaus es una joven científica del Foro Económico Mundial.

Biografía
Su familia inspiró a Lutkenhaus a estudiar ingeniería.  Su madre estudió química y su padre estudió física.  Lutkenhaus estudió ingeniería química en la Universidad de Texas en Austin y se graduó en 2002. Se mudó al Massachusetts Institute of Technology, donde obtuvo su doctorado en 2007. A continuación trabajó bajo la supervisión de Paula T. Hammond en la Universidad de Massachusetts Amherst. En 2008 Lutkenhaus se unió a la facultad de la Universidad de Yale.

Trayectoria científica
Lutkenhaus se unió a la facultad de la Universidad de Texas A&M en 2010, y fue ascendida a Profesora Asociada (Associate Professor) en 2015. Desarrolla nuevos materiales para el almacenamiento de energía y recubrimientos inteligentes, incluidos polielectrolitos y polímeros activos en reacciones de reducción-oxidación. Busca desarrollar fuentes de alimentación suaves y flexibles para dispositivos electrónicos portátiles que sean duraderos, sostenibles y eficientes.

Uno de los desafíos para el uso de polímeros en baterías es que típicamente los polímeros no son buenos para almacenar e intercambiar electrones. Lutkenhaus ha demostrado que los polímeros con radicales orgánicos son electroquímicamente activos, permitiendo una transferencia de carga durante las reacciones de reducción-oxidación rápida. En dispositivos electrónicos portátiles, estos polímeros con radicales orgánicos podrían permitir una carga rápida. Lutkenhaus ha caracterizado la velocidad de transferencia de carga en estos sistemas utilizando una microbalanza electroquímica de cristal de cuarzo. Lutkenhaus espera que las baterías futuras estén libres de materiales metálicos y que sean orgánicas y reciclables. Actualmente, solo el 5% de las baterías de iones de litio se reciclan. Lutkenhaus y Wooley demostraron que el ácido glutámico podría usarse para fabricar baterías, dando lugar a la primera batería de proteínas completamente biodegradable. Los péptidos de estas contienen compuestos activos en reacciones de reducción-oxidación, el radical estable Tempo en el cátodo y la bipiridina viológena en los ánodos.

Lutkenhaus ha estudiado el comportamiento de las películas de polímeros cuando se depositan en espacios confinados. Está desarrollando nano-láminas bidimensionales de transición carbono-metal (MXenes), hechas a base de cerámica repartida en capas. Pueden incluir distintos compuestos y grupos funcionales. Lutkenhaus está investigando cómo la estructura química y el empaquetamiento molecular influyen en las propiedades electrónicas de estos materiales. Ha demostrado que un dispositivo que combina MXene y polielectrolitos puede usarse para detectar la humedad y la presión, ya que el agua facilita la relajación de los conjuntos moleculares cargados al reducir la atracción de Coulomb.

NEW ZEALAND - Environment Canterbury is inviting discussion on coastal areas where people believe aquaculture activities (eg mussel farms) should be excluded.
Coastal areas to be excluded from aquaculture - NEW ZEALAND - Environment Canterbury is inviting discussion on coastal areas where people believe aquaculture activities (eg mussel farms) should be excluded.
This is part of the councils ongoing work on the allocation of water space for aquaculture. It follows on from recent changes to the Resource Management Act, stemming from aquaculture reform legislation.
Under the new system, aquaculture can only be established within areas specifically identified in regional coastal plans as aquaculture management areas or AMAs. Areas that have existing aquaculture operations are deemed to be aquaculture management areas under the legislation.
Environment Canterbury has been investigating which areas could or should be excluded from aquaculture as a first step in this process, said Cr Bob Kirk, chairman coastal portfolio committee.
Areas of significant natural value, identified in the current Regional Coastal Environment Plan.
Areas of Banks Peninsula to be retained in their present natural states. These are also specified in the Regional Coastal Environment Plan and include many of the Peninsulas bays.
Navigation channels and port operational areas.
Council wastewater outfalls and associated mixing zones.
Coastal water quality areas. These are areas managed to improve water quality to a particular standard. These standards include water suitable for aquatic ecosystems, contact recreation (eg swimming) and shellfish gathering. There may be areas of the coastline where water quality is not good enough to support aquaculture production, which requires relatively pristine, clean water.

Dow Plunges Into Bear Territory, S&P 500 Barely Misses

The bear has arrived for the Dow.
With a drop of 5.9%, or 1,465 points, to close at 23,553.22, on Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down more than 20% from its all-time closing high on Feb. 12., which officially ended the 11-year bull market.
The S&P 500 fell 4.89% to close at 2,741.38 — off about 19% from its recent high. The Nasdaq ended the day down 4.70%, to close at 7,952.05.
"Brutal session for US #stocks with the three major indices ending the day 4.7 to 5.9% lower. Government #bonds, the traditional risk mitigator and diversifier, did not provide relief. The yield on the 10-year ended the day higher (at 0.85%). A bunch of margin calls are going out," said Mohamed A. El-Erian, chief economic advisor for Allianz, late Wednesday on Twitter.
"It happened in just 19 days. Officially the fastest bear market ever," Tweeted Michael Batnick, director of research for Ritholtz Wealth Management, who shared a Dow chart on other bear markets illustrating the development.
The markets have weakened out of growing concern that federal action at the fiscal level and other steps may not be enough to limit the economic effects of the spreading coronavirus.
"The S&P 500 finished -4.89%, the 7th close of at least +/- 3% in last 10 trading sessions. In post-WW2 era, it happened in 2008 and 1987. Historic volatility. Further, today marked 6 closes of at least +/- 4% in 10 sessions, something only seen in 2008, 1987, 1933, 1932, 1929," explained TD Ameritrade Institutional's Michael McKerr in a Tweet.
President Trump is set to address the nation at 9 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, several hours after the World Health Organization said the virus has reached pandemic levels. According to Johns Hopkins University, confirmed cases now top 121,560, with more than 4,370 people having died from the virus.
Charles Schwab Chief Investment Strategist Liz Ann Sonders said on Twitter: "# of cases of #coronavirus growing exponentially in U.S.; since February 20 cases have been doubling every 3 days; if testing continues as promised, # of cases in U.S. could reach almost 25k by March 21 @biancoresearch, @Johns Hopkins."
"There is rarely such a *perfect* example of why "those who fail to study the past are doomed to repeat it"," said finance history blogger Jamie Catherwood on Twitter, referring to an image of a parade after World War I in Philadelphia which contributed to the spread of the Spanish Flu.
"We have no idea when the coronavirus, the spread, is going to subside. That uncertainty is going to continue to create a lot of volatility," David Spika, the president of GuideStone Capital Management, told Bloomberg. "We have no idea how to model it, we have no idea what to expect from it."
According to research reports and early survey responses from six financial firms compiled by Bloomberg News, the U.S. economy could contract at an annualized rate of 0.1% to 2% in the second quarter.
"Given the extreme market volatility and growing number of cases of the virus in the U.S., we're seeing states declaring states of emergency," BMO economist Jennifer Lee told the news service Wednesday. "It's becoming a demand issue — all these fearful consumers, people canceling cruises. It's going to feed back to the business side as well, with business investment holding back."
As campuses from coast to coast, such as UCLA and and the University of Virginia move to online-only classes, the NCAA says its March basketball tournament will be played without fans. New York has postponed its St. Patrick's Day Parade this year, while cities like Chicago and Boston have cancelled theirs.

Camping with my dad and little bro' involves a certain element of "roughin' it", with a touch of class. We shower outside, behind a trailer. There is a private porter potty just up the road and it's a feat to reach in the middle of the night with a weak flashlight. We drive ATVs all day on mountain trails that run through what once was a colliery, and cover ourselves in dirt and coal dust. We build a roaring fire and play classic rock and drink beers and tell stories. We encapsulate ourselves in sleeping bags inside of a pop-up camper.
We cook over an open fire. We use an old Le Creuset pot, which my dad stumbled upon in my great-grandmother's old collection of "junk". Though considered a high-end piece of kitchen equipment, it is sturdy enough to have survived not only decades of kitchen abuse, but campfire destruction.
There's something about camping that transforms the simplest foods into a four-star meal. And the open fire seems to take hold of even the most culinary adverse, turning them into seasoned cooks. My brother, who rarely cooks and seems emotionally drained after enduring a multi-course meal with my parents and myself, made chicken wings which were beautifully charred on the outside with a juicy interior.
And there's nothing quite like a complete pancake breakfast in the chilly morning hours of a summer day. Good old Aunt Jemima: just add water.
Pancakes and bacon are definitely camping favorites! Make me want to hit the road and head for the woods.
"..something about camping that transforms the simplest foods into a four-star meal." So true!! One of many reasons camping is so great. 🙂 I can't wait to go on my first camping adventure in NY!
