FDA Approves Contraceptive Implant
WASHINGTON – Implanon, a rod-shaped contraceptive implanted in the upper arm for up to three years, received federal approval, health officials said Tuesday.
Food and Drug Administration approval clears Organon USA to sell the birth control rod in the United States, agency spokeswoman Susan Cruzan said. Implanon, which can stop menstruation in many women, has been sold in more than 30 countries since 1998.
The matchstick-sized implant releases a low, steady dose of progestin to prevent pregnancy. The rod is inserted by a doctor under the skin of the upper arm. It can be removed at any time, according to the company, a unit of Netherlands-based Akzo Nobel.
Progestin is a synthetic hormone similar to the progesterone made in the ovaries. The hormone typically acts on the body by thickening the mucus in a women's cervix, preventing the union of sperm and egg. It also can prevent ovulation, or the release of an egg from the ovaries.
Organon claims the implant provides 99 percent contraceptive protection.
Its approval comes six years after Wyeth Pharmaceuticals stopped U.S. sales of another implant, Norplant. Norplant worked for up to seven years, or four years more than Implanon, but spawned lawsuits by women injured having its six rods removed or disturbed by side effects.
Another implant, a two-rod product called Jadelle, received FDA approval in 1996 but has never been sold in the U.S.
Use of Implanon can cause irregular bleeding and spotting, as well as no bleeding at all.
Implanon, along with other hormonal contraceptives, is associated with an increased risk of several serious side effects like blood clots. Smoking can further increases those risks.
Other hormonal birth control methods include the pill, patch, vaginal ring and a shot, called Depo-Provera, which provides three months of protection.
Organon did not release the price of Implanon. Spokeswoman Frances DeSena said it would be comparable to the monthly cost of other hormonal methods.
The implant will be available only through specially trained doctors; the company intends to start training in August, DeSena said.

I am delighted to be able to tell you all that we have been awarded Charter Standard Development Club status by the FA.
This is an exciting and very proud moment for the Club as it recognises our commitment to providing a quality playing environment for young people who want to learn and enjoy football and our commitment to the future development of our players, our coaches and our club within the local community. It underlines our desire to encourage respect, fair play and inclusion and that safeguarding and the welfare of our players is at the core of our ethos.
We are now one of only 19 Development Clubs throughout the whole of Sussex (compared to around 80 Charter Standard Clubs).
On behalf of the Club Committee, I would like to thank our Welfare Officer, Laura James, who has been instrumental in bringing this enhanced status to Broad Oak & Horam JFC. Over the past few months she has worked with Sussex FA to make sure we have all the elements in place within the club to ensure the award would be made. Without the work she has done, this would not have been possible.
I would also add my thanks to every one of the committee, all of our managers and coaches, every player and every parent for their commitment to this club. Together we are Broad Oak & Horam JFC… an FA Charter Standard Development Club. That's something we should all be incredibly proud of.

Home Business Economy & Politics Second Presidential Debate: President Trump Refuses to Take Part in Virtual Debate
Second Presidential Debate: President Trump Refuses to Take Part in Virtual Debate
The commission organizing the second presidential debate in Miami on October 15 said it would have to take place remotely after President Donald Trump tested positive for coronavirus.
President Trump has refused to take part in a virtual TV debate with his Democratic rival Joe Biden.
The president's refusal sparked a day of wrangling about how and when any further debates would take place.
At the moment it appears a debate could take place on October 22, although in what form remains to be seen.
The first presidential debate on September 29 had descended into insults and interruptions. The vice-presidential debate, held on October 7 between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris, was a far more measured affair.
Latest opinion polls suggest Joe Biden has a high single digit lead nationally, but the outcome is often decided in battleground states where the races can be much closer.
Six million votes have already been cast in early voting.
The Commission on Presidential Debates announced that candidates would take part in the Miami debate "from separate remote locations… to protect the health and safety of all involved".
This infuriated the president who, in a phone-in interview with Fox Business Channel, said he was "not gonna waste my time" on a virtual debate and "sit behind a computer, ridiculous".
Joe Biden said the president "changed his mind every second" and his campaign team added that Donald Trump "clearly does not want to face questions from the voters".
The Trump campaign answered back, with manager Bill Stepien calling the commission's decision to "rush to Joe Biden's defense… pathetic" and saying President Trump would hold a rally instead on October 15.
The Biden team then proposed the town-hall style debate, set for Miami, should go ahead on October 22 instead.
This brought a brief moment of agreement, on the date at least.
However, the Trump team said there should be a third face-to-face debate – on October 29, just five days before polling.
The Biden team refused. Three dates had been set for debates – September 29, October 15 and October 22. That would be it.
VP Debate 2020: Kamala Harris and Mike Pence Clash over Coronavirus Pandemic
Presidential Debate 2020: Donald Trump and Joe Biden Clash in Bitter Debate
On October 15, Joe Biden will now take part in his own primetime event on ABC answering questions from voters.
Quite what format any Biden-Trump debate takes now is hard to pin down.
The president touched on a number of key matters, including his health and the possibility of movement towards a stimulus package for the economy.
On his health, President Trump said: "I'm back because I'm a perfect physical specimen."
He said he had stopped taking most "therapeutics" but was still taking steroids and would be tested for Covid again "soon".
Although his doctor has said he now has no symptoms, questions still remain about when the president first became infected and whether he could still be contagious.
And although the names of many people who have interacted with the president and tested positive are now known, it remains unclear just how many were exposed at the White House. New Covid safety measures are in place there.
One of the top Republicans, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, said on October 8 that he had not been to the White House since August 6 because its approach to handling Covid with social distancing and masks was "different from mine and what I suggested we do in the Senate".
October 8, President Trump said that "somebody got in and people got infected" but gave no more details.
A gathering on September 26 announcing President Trump's Supreme Court pick has been seen as a possible "super-spreader" event, with several attendees known to have tested positive.

Statement by the Leader of the Official Opposition on Rosh Hashanah
The Leader of the Official Opposition and Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Andrew Scheer, issued the following statement on Rosh Hashanah:
"This evening, Jewish families in Canada, Israel and around the world will gather with their friends and families to mark the beginning of Rosh Hashanah and the High Holy Days.
Through prayer and celebration, and the sweetness of apples and honey, Jewish communities across the world will greet a new year.
Rosh Hashanah brings a new beginning, a time for serious contemplation. For many, this is a chance for personal reflection, growth and renewal.
This year, I hope that Rosh Hashanah can act as an inspiration to reflect upon ourselves and find ways to build a more prosperous and welcoming Canada.
I would like to extend my best wishes to Canada's Jewish community as you begin your celebration with some of the most cherished traditions of the holiday.
Shana Tova u'Metuka!"

Ericsson has objected to new rules introduced by India's Department of Telecommunications (DOT) last month, which among other things require equipment vendors to give the Indian government the right to inspect software source code and designs of their equipment.
"We deeply respect and support the steps taken to beef up security of the ICT (information and communications technology) network in India," an Ericsson India spokesman said in an e-mail on Friday. "However we feel that some of the clauses are unprecedented," he added.
Ericsson has requested a dialogue to ensure that security concerns can be balanced with good international practices, the spokesman said.
A local newspaper, The Economic Times, reported on Friday that Ericsson had sent a letter to the DOT, asking that it be excluded from the requirement that source code of its equipment be kept in an escrow account with the government. The Ericsson spokesman confirmed the letter, but did not discuss its contents.
Ericsson is also insisting that that the responsibility for security should not be vested completely on foreign vendors, according to the newspaper.
Under the new rules, equipment vendors will be required to allow service providers and the DOT or designated agencies to inspect their hardware, software, design, development, manufacturing facility and supply chain, and subject all software to a security threat check at the time of procurement and at specified instances thereafter.
Vendors can also face stiff fines and get blacklisted as equipment suppliers if a security breach is detected at a later stage after the deployment of the equipment. It would be unfair for the DOT to blame equipment providers if some third party introduces malware or spyware by hacking or some other means, a spokesman for Huawei Technologies said on Friday.
The new rules may not really achieve the security objectives of the Indian government, said Kunal Bajaj , director for India at telecom consultancy, Analysys Mason. The source code for equipment usually runs into hundreds of thousands of lines of code and investigating that for spyware, malware and security holes is not a trivial task, he added.
On the flip side, new rules such as the potentially unlimited liability on vendors and the escrow account for source code will come at a cost for the industry, such as costly insurance policies, which will have to be absorbed either by the vendors or the service providers, Bajaj said.
The Indian government would have been better off with an earlier plan to get equipment vendors to get their equipment certified for the absence of security issues by an independent certifying agency, he said.
The rules were introduced after Chinese vendors like Huawei and ZTE said that orders placed by telecom service providers since February did not get security clearance from the DOT. The rules requiring security clearance for equipment imports were introduced in December.
A DOT official however said that there wasn't a ban on equipment suppliers from any specific country. India and China went to war in 1962, and still have a border dispute.
A number of vendors who sell to Indian service providers have in private expressed reservations about the new rules. Huawei said its officials were meeting over the weekend in China to discuss the new rules of the Indian government, and take a decision.
Vendors are however unlikely to pull out of India in protest against the new rules, according to Bajaj. "The market runs into billions of dollars, and we would not give it up easily," said an official at a large equipment company. The proposed investments by telecom service providers on the rollout of 3G services, and on expansion of their current networks in the country is an obvious attraction for equipment vendors.
But vendors may modify their ways of operating in the country, including perhaps delaying the introduction of state-of-the-art products in the country, Bajaj said. The new rules will also add to the perception that policy making in the country's telecom sector tends to be unpredictable, he added.

Maryland Mall
Maryland Mall has fondly been coined 'THE BIG BLACK BOX' and is now a fond landmark in the City of Lagos. Our design intent was to make the building a silhouette backdrop to the LED screen and all brand signage. The screen, which is 60meters long, was at the time of build, the longest in West Africa, which also ensures our building is a Cartesian revenue generator across the vertical plane. Horizontally, we used design and programme to ensure a viable and sustainable retail hub for the 40 shopping outlets, banks, restaurants, a supermarket, a state of the art 4-screen cinema located in the building.
In contrast to the Brutalist-minimal exterior, the interior opens up to a warm light pallet with all the 'pomp and pageantry' for a shopping experience. We have also used this platform to celebrate local Artist Dudu Emmanuel, who produced the sculpture 'give and take' the art of commerce' at the pedestrian entrance and Jade Folawiyo, a product designer who created the feature lighting in the Artium by the celebrated entrance.

Well, technically novelette or novella, depending on the length, but it definitely should not be as long as Nocturna (hopefully).
It's a prequel to Nocturna, so it's about a big event that is mentioned in Nocturna that happens before the book begins.
It takes place a couple centuries ago (I might have already said when on another post, but I'm not gonna say it here).
It contains two sections, each section being from a different character's point of view during that time.
I do not know the book's title yet, so that won't give you any clues. Sorry! (Hahaha, I'm so bad with titles).
After the book is published and people have actually read it, feel free to put your guesses on the characters below! I would love to see how close you get.


There's a new Nintendo Switch model on the horizon and it should be coming to a store near you this fall. Despite the September release date, this will most likely continue into the holiday market as well.

My oldest baby basset needs to read 27 points worth of books by the end of the month. I am not a fan of this system, but I decided to take the bull by the horns and asked the teacher to give him a 50 point book, so we could knock out the whole semester all at once. She wasn't having it. Drat. She did suggest that we read a 6 point book together and handed me The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis. I would have argued with her, but I really like the Chronicles of Narnia series, and it's not often that I get a moment of peace to read, so I jumped at the chance. My oldest hates reading, and that just breaks my heart. Every time I make him do his nightly reading he asks me every ten seconds if he is done. I think this time, with us alternating between reading to each other, he is finally experiencing immersing yourself in a good book, and is loving it. YAY!

Mozilla has enjoyed a decade long arrangement with Google whereby the Firefox browser has shipped with Google search as default search engine.

WHEN THE WORLD ENDS
Delhi will have more
than the usual pandemonium:
the crush of mechanical and human traffic
will surge into a terminating collision.
In Paharganj drug dealers, backpackers,
touts and beggar kids try to ignore chaos
of rickshaws, bicycles, dogs and holy cows
as the enhanced confusion of street aroma
from flowers, curry, urine, incense, chai,
spices, traffic fumes and unwashed fear
assault the senses one last time.
At Gandhi Smrita the poignant memorial
of concrete footprints, representing Gandhi's
last steps, disappear into the abyss
and the Mahatma's final words, Hey Ram *
echo over the devastation of Delhi.
*Hey Ram - Oh God

Climate Change Hopes Vanish into Thin Air
By Andrea Vento*
ROME (IDN) – The great hopes for a historical understanding to contain global warming in the wake of the proclamations of world leaders prior to the recent UN climate change conference in Bonn have evaporated.
The 'climate' of confidence surrounding the conference – held in Bonn from November 6 to 17, officially known as the 23rd session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 23) and presided over by Fiji – soon disappeared into thin air as environmental experts looked at what, if anything, had been achieved.
Criticism has centred on the failure to establish either a "compliance control committee" or a "sanctioning mechanism" against countries which do not respect the commitments they have entered into.

COP23 Finally Provides a Platform for Indigenous People on Climate Talks
By Stella Paul
BONN (IDN) – Patricia Gualinga has been coming to the UN climate change conferences for several years. She usually receives 2-3 minutes on a panel of a side event on indigenous issues during which she tells about the struggles of her community – the Kichwas of Ecuador.
The struggles are, typically, of surviving in an environment where water is fast depleting, air is polluted, land is taken away and tribe members are evicted from their homes – all in the name of development. Sarayaku – where Gualinga comes from – is an Amazonian province in which the degradation is often caused by large oil explorers.

Further, Faster, Together On Climate - From Bonn To Katowice
By Ramesh Jaura
BONN (IDN) – The two-week long intensive and multilevel talks concluded in Germany's former capital city in the early hours of November 18 tasking the negotiators to focus on 'Where are we, where do we want to go and how do we get there?' before they meet in Poland in December 2018.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Secretariat said the Bonn Climate Conference – officially known as COP23, the 23rd session of the Conference of Parties to the Convention – had become "launch-pad for higher ambition".

Climate Change Impact in Asia-Pacific Needs Innovative Finance Solutions
By Jaya Ramachandran
BONN (IDN) – While global estimates range between US$55 trillion and $93 trillion to stay within 2 degree Celsius of temperature increase by 2030-2035, developing countries in Asia alone need an estimated US$3.6 billion per annum up to 2030 to transition toward net zero emissions and increased resilience, according to ESCAP News.
If finance is to be scaled-up to these levels, it is essential to use lending and capital market channels to shore up resources to effectively tackle the impact of climate change, according to countries in Asia-Pacific which gathered on November 16 on the sidelines of global climate talks in Bonn to discuss opportunities to raise ambition to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement through innovative finance solutions. It was acknowledged that additional support from the international community was required to support this effort.

Inaction is Not an Option in the Face of Climate Emergency
By John Scales Avery*
John Scales Avery is a theoretical chemist noted for his research publications in quantum chemistry, thermodynamics, evolution, and history of science. Presently an Associate Professor in quantum chemistry at the University of Copenhagen, he is working on a book with the title 'THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY: Two time scales'. A first draft of the book can be downloaded from: http://www.fredsakademiet.dk/library/climate.pdf. The following are excerpts from introduction to the book. – The Editor
COPENHAGEN (IDN) - Quick change is needed to save the long-term future. The central problem, which the world faces in its attempts to avoid catastrophic climate change, is a contrast of time scales. In order to save human civilization and the biosphere from the most catastrophic effects of climate change, we need to act immediately. Fossil fuels must be left in the ground. Forests must be saved from destruction by beef or palm oil production.
Rich Countries Criticised For Lack of Serious Action on Climate Change
BONN (IDN) - As the UN climate talks in Bonn (COP23) drew to a close, Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) bashed the rich countries for once again showing poor leadership by not taking serious action on climate change – despite new evidence showing emissions are on the rise.
FoEI's Dipti Bhatnagar said: "Rich nations, including those calling themselves 'climate leaders', have brought crumbs to the table on pre-2020 climate action. But this is meaningless, as they continue to push dirty energy at home and overseas, and fail to support energy transformation in the South. As we learnt this week, emissions are set to rise again for the first time in three years. If nothing changes, then these so-called leaders have booked their spot on the wrong side of history."
Fijian Presidency Lends New Dimension to Climate Negotiations
BONN (IDN) - Twenty-five years ago, governments came together at the Earth Summit in Rio driven by the idea that the world needed to change the way it was treating its environment.
From that idea, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was adopted – "and a movement began. A movement that, two years ago, resulted in the Paris Agreement," said UNFCCC Executive Secretary Patricia Espinosa in her opening speech at COP23, the 23rd annual UN Climate Conference.
Building a Secure World and a Healthy Planet for All
By António Guterres, UN Secretary-General
Following are extensive excerpts from UN Secretary-General António Guterres' remarks on November 15, 2017 at the Opening of the High-level Segment of COP23, the 23rd session of the Conference of the Parties (COP23) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). – The Editor
BONN (IDN-INPS) – It is fitting that this year's conference is led by Fiji, a nation on the frontlines. Last month I visited other small islands facing the impacts of a warming world: Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica. The hurricane damage was beyond belief.
The catastrophic effects of climate change are upon us. Floods, fires, extreme storms and drought are growing in intensity and frequency. Atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide are higher than they have been for 800,000 years.
107 Countries Call for Tangible Progress in Implementing the Paris Climate Accord
BONN (IDN) - The 28-nation European Union and 79 countries of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group have reaffirmed their commitment to the implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement, which entered into force on November 4, 2016. They also urged all member states to ensure concrete progress at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP23).
COP23 is an abbreviation for the 23rd session of the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in the former West German capital city Bonn, from November 6 to 17.
Both the EU and the ACP Group acknowledge the importance of this year's conference to ensure the achievement of key milestones for the full implementation of the Paris accord.
Climate Scientists Warn of Unprecedented Risks to Humanity
BONN (IDN) – Scientists are warning of a profound impact on human health and migration, leading to civil unrest and conflict. In a new statement to national representatives meeting in Bonn for the annual climate talks widely known as COP23, scientists said that Earth is approaching tipping points that threaten human security.
The warning that Planet Earth is coming close to a critical situation – when a series of small climate changes would become significant enough to cause havoc – comes as global emissions are projected to rise after three stable years.


The theme that all of these quotes share is that it is human nature to prefer a familiar environment, even to the point of imagining that one exists where it does not and to over-rely on familiar tools.
The way this connects to option trading (no, I haven't forgotten that that is the subject here) is that some people tend to stop adding tools after the first hammer. That is, they hear about a particular option strategy, and then try to apply it all the time. They try to use those roller skates even when the sidewalk leads into a buffalo herd.
For example, let's say you see an ad for a seminar on Iron Condors. You take the seminar, and are dazzled by the possibilities. You race home and start applying Iron Condors left and right. Some work out as you'd planned. But some of them stubbornly refuse to. After a couple of nasty surprises, you realize that one trade gone bad can wipe out the profits of several perfect trades.
This experience is not limited to Iron Condors, by the way. There is a whole cult, and mini-industry, built around almost every option strategy. There are people who sell the idea that Double Calendars are that easy road to riches. Likewise Diagonals, Verticals, and just about everything else. Somebody somewhere is able to convince people that each of these is the One and Only Answer. Of course, none of them is. Anyone who tries to apply any strategy all the time soon finds this out.
The problem is not with the strategy. Each one has its place and can be profitable when used correctly. But we must know when to use it.
What is your outlook as to future price movement? Up, down or sideways, and a little or a lot?
What is your outlook as to changes in Implied Volatility? Do you expect it to increase, decrease, or neither; and do you expect a little change, or a lot?
With these two pieces of information in hand, you can choose a strategy. Here are some general guidelines.
First, If you are bullish, use a bullish strategy; if bearish, a bearish one. If you believe that prices will move in a range for a while, use a price-neutral strategy.
This sounds trivial. But it actually knocks out whole classes of strategies. If you strongly believe that the price of a stock is going up, for example, then you should not use a price-neutral strategy. Those Iron Condors we talked about earlier fall into this category.
Iron Condors are a short strangle (short an out-of-the-money put and short an out-of-the-money call), enfolded by a long strangle (long an even further OTM put and a further OTM call). They make their maximum profit when the stock price remains in a range between the strikes of the short strangle, so that all four of the options expire worthless. They are hurt by too much movement, either way. If that movement happens, they can lose far more than they can make.
Another neutral strategy is also sold as the end-all of strategies, the Double Calendar. Like the Iron Condor, the Double Calendar is a price-neutral strategy that makes its maximum profit when price remains in a range.
Using either of these neutral strategies is just the wrong thing to do when you believe that price has a chance to make a big move. If you believe that a big move is likely or even probable, then a better choice would be a directional strategy, such as a single-legged option, a vertical spread, or a diagonal spread. The same is true in reverse – if you believe that price will be range-bound, then a neutral strategy will be the right choice, and a directional strategy will be the wrong one.
Even if you do believe that price is going to remain in a range, so that you consider only price-neutral strategies, these are not all created equal. In fact, any situation that would be appropriate for an iron condor would be wrong for a double calendar, and vice-versa. If a range-bound situation is correctly identified by the seminar-goers of both camps, and both apply their neutral strategies, only one of those two groups is going to win big. If the Iron Condors work out well, the Double Calendars won't, and may even lose money. And vice-versa.
This leads to our second rule, buy implied volatility low and sell it high.
This is every bit as important as rule one. Along with actual price movement of the underlying in the present, option prices are also affected by expectations of what that movement will be in the future. The measure for the degree of those expectations is what is called Implied Volatility (IV). When expectations for the amount of future movement are high, people pay more for options, even if little, or even none, of that movement has happened yet. When no one expects a stock to move, they will not pay much for its options. And when expectations change, option prices will change, again regardless of any actual price movement in the stock (or lack of movement).
Of our two neutral strategies, the Iron Condors involve selling a great deal of time value, while Double Calendars involve buying time value. Time value is high in price when crowd expectations are high, as shown by the level of implied volatility. When IV is high, we get paid a lot for selling the iron condors, which makes them a good bet. For the same reason, Double Calendars would be a bad bet at that time – we'd be paying too much. In a low-volatility situation the opposite would be true – then the Double Calendars would be a good way to go.
Implied Volatility changes can sometimes overwhelm the changes brought about by actual price movement. We can be right about the direction a stock will take, and still lose money. For example, say that we know a company is releasing earnings tomorrow. We think this stock will move big, one way or the other, since it has a history of doing that on earnings dates. So we buy a Straddle – an at-the-money call together with an at-the-money put. If the stock moves either way far enough to pay us back for both options, we win, and our potential profit is unlimited. What could go wrong?
Next morning earnings are announced. Sure enough the stock races higher. We check our position and find that we have not made a lot of money; in fact we have lost money! Not only did our losing put option lose almost all its value, but the price of the "winning" call option has barely budged. What happened?
What happened is that the uncertainty regarding the earnings announcement has now been resolved. That uncertainty was at its peak just before the announcement, and both of the options we bought had already priced in a big movement. Now that the announcement has been made, expectations for further movement are now a great deal less. As a result, the value of every option that exists on that stock is pushed down to some degree today by the reduction in expectations. We violated rule 2: we bought implied volatility when it was already high. Now that IV has crashed, we are left holding the bag.
Use directional strategies when your outlook is for a big price move (even if your "favorite" strategy is neutral).
Buy volatility when it's cheap, and sell it when it's expensive. When IV is cheap, use a strategy that is long time value. When it's expensive, use a strategy that is short time value. And when it's neither, use a strategy that is relatively unaffected by IV changes (more on that one next week).
Using these rules means that you do not have a favorite strategy. You simply use the one that will work best in the current environment.

MAN THE LIFEBOATS: DOLLAR DISASTER IMMINENT!
by Lior Gantz | Personal Finance
Today, we're sharing an important update from WealthResearchGroup.com, which is paramount for understanding what comes next:
Since the November 3rd elections, the dollar has been pushed to a corner that is actually a double-edged sword for gold. Because of the anticipation that a super-weak dollar will cause bond yields to rise, gold has become weak, right alongside the dollar. This correlation has been recently cut off.
From November 6th, when Pfizer's announcement altered the way investors priced in Covid-19 risk of bankruptcy for pandemic victim sectors – reasoning that with a vaccine far fewer companies will go under – the dollar has sold off hard, gold has crashed to below its 200-DMA and rates have been rising, in turn.
A few days ago, Mitch McConnell basically called (and caused) the bottom for gold, when he said that Washington must pass the stimulus bill, in order to avoid a complete Main Street meltdown in January. Gold prices began to price a fiscal aid program, a monetary QE support policy and an inflationary recovery in 2021.
When I wrote that I personally bought gold-backed ETF shares, it was literally two days before the bottom. We nailed it!

Our five watchlists, published in April, June, August, September and a pre-election one in October, have delivered the research necessary to conduct due diligence on over fifty companies; the appreciation of said companies has been remarkable, when compared with their respective index benchmarks.
In April, we published THIS. Within it, AXP (which I'm a shareholder of) has appreciated by 60%. VFC (which I'm a shareholder of) has appreciated by 73%! SWK (which I'm a shareholder of) has appreciated by over 80% and trades even above its Pre-Covid-19 price. I don't believe the company will ever trade for $100/share, which was the limit order noted in the report. It was a stunning entry point, in my opinion. The S&P 500 has appreciated by 31% in the same timeframe, so these companies have delivered a significant Alpha. Spirit Aerosystems (SPR), which I stressed recently as a company that one must look at, when it was trading for around $20/share in the beginning of November, has doubled in one month, thanks to the anticipated recovery in the airline industry.
This was only the first watchlist. It contained 27 companies, it total. Then, in June, we published the 2nd watchlist HERE! It featured an additional 10 new companies. Sysco (SYY), which I'm a shareholder of, has appreciated by 53%! Axis Capital (AXS) has appreciated by 36%, Trane Technologies has appreciated by 68% and Booz Allen Hamilton (which I'm a shareholder of) has appreciated by 22%.
In August and in September, we published watchlists 3, 4 and TECH. Within these, we profiled 20 additional companies, with only CHKP (which I'm a shareholder of) trading below its limit order; the rest have been on fire.
Now, though, I'm warning that euphoria is unsustainable. I feel much like I did when my friend's maid/cleaner asked him how to buy Bitcoin, when it traded for $12,000/coin in 2017, on its way to $20,000. In other words, I'm not calling the top, but I'm cautioning that it's near, unavoidable and would usher in a period of sideways and downward selling.
We are about to publish a 6th watchlist, so stay tuned!
The dollar weakness has caused this record inflow into emerging markets and the vaccine risk-on trade has caused gold to brutally crater, but the stimulus surprise, which was uncalled for, has reversed the trend in commodities.
The commodity index is the CHEAPEST it has been since 1990 and some measures show it is the cheapest since 1942; the recovery in global trade and manufacturing in 2021, as the economy opens up, will potentially serve as an inflation catalyst and we are positioning not only in commodities, but with a number of the most compelling companies I've come across in my career, which started when my folks signed a waiver to let me trade as a minor (16 years of age) in June 2000. I'm excited!

Live: Postmodern Procedures at Princeton
By Matt Shaw • December 5, 2015
Post-modern Procedures poster by Kevin Pazik for Princeton SoA.
Postmodern Procedures is a two-day conference at Princeton School of Architecture that offers an alternate history of Postmodernism. The goal is to find something that is less about signs and symbols or historic references, and more about longer-form processes that produced the visual syntax of some of the most interesting projects in architectural history. Follow along as AN will be posting updates all day on Saturday, December 5.
(Matt Shaw/AN)
9:25 James Wines gets day 2 started off with a series of stories about 1970's New York and a group of architects and artists who lived near each other on Greene St. in Soho, many of which worked in between architecture and art. He calls this Arch-Art, drawing upon the interdisciplinary contributions made by his firm SITE, as well as artists like Beuys and Henry Moore. There was a comment about rejecting "Plop Art" or "The Turd in the Plaza," favoring a process, such as in his Ghost Parking Lot, a public art project where SITE paved over a parking lot full of cars.
Wines calls big box stores the ultimate found object that everyone recognizes. Wines used the BEST Stores to put art where you would least expect it. "It was a transformation," he said, explaining that the stores were a process of making the usual shopping center into something new and fantastic, through process. As for the Indeterminate Facade, the first BEST store, "There was alot of 'not getting it," he said, "Saying that this store was about destruction was like saying that a Giocometti sculpture was about starving people."
"Not getting it" became his theme as he showed how many of his ideas became Pomo tropes, such as "tilting" and "falling apart." Some other highlights of his career were shown, including the process behind Shake Shack and the bookstore at MAK Vienna, both of which pushed the limits of building codes, legal contingencies, and historic landmark rules.

10:15 Amale Andraos of WORKac is giving a presentation of their work, with clear echoes of many of the issues that Wines introduced. Slicing, peeling, and the relationship of interior and exterior become organizing principles. "Collage Garage" is a facade for a parking structure in Miami. A four-foot wide ant farm for people includes circulation functions as well as environmental features like ventilation and water collection. The thickness produces a new way of inhabiting a facade, through a process of pushing the limits of the thin slice of space.
10:31 Mark Lee of Johnston Marklee remarks that he saw Wines speak at Sci-Arc 25 years ago when he was young and impressionable. "Seeing him speak again today made me feel young and impressionable," Lee said. Collage and layering are just a couple of the processes that Lee sees as valuable takeaways from Wines' work.

Lee showing examples from photography and film to illustrate his concept of "loose fit," including John Baldessari's experiments with throwing balls in the air to approximate geometries. Their Vault House is a beach house that uses this concept to arrange a series of vault-like sections into a long passage of ill-fitting vaults. this process creates a long series of overlapping forms in a complex whole.

10:44 Panel starting off with Lavin asking Wines about living in Soho in the early days with artists like Bob Smithson and Alice Aycock. There were complex relationships between art and architecture, and the lines were not always clear. Wines speaks of it in a very pragmatic way, saying that on Greene St., artists were simply trying to see what they could get away with. Andraos makes the connection that this is probably how SITE shifted the boundaries of what could be considered architecture. "If it looks normal, you have something that is really avant-garde," said Wines.
"Deforming" Panel with James Wines, Amale Andraos, Mark Lee. (Matt Shaw/AN)
11:48 And we're back with Diana Agrest, architect and urbanist. She is tracing the procedures that lead to retention and transference of ideas, both in her own work, and in the academic world, especially at the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies, where a group of non-commercial young architects were trying to find themselves and figure out how to engage with the city and their own practices.
12:27 Erin Besler takes the podium to discuss her intellectual project that deals with problems of construction and participation, a term that she is suspicous of. In her practice, Besler and Sons, she and her husband Ian Besler work with the conventional tools and resources of the everyday architect. At the Chicago Architecture Biennial, they looked at BIM as an open platform of participation that the public can engage with by sketching a wall that is produced by software in 3D. Studfindr.org is a kinkily-named platform that displays the creations of Biennial-visitors.
Besler and Sons, "The Entire Situation. (Joshua White)
Parallel to the open BIM project, a physical constructed light steel-framed wall system interrogates the space within the pedantic construction we might find in a big box store. Each step of the process is reflected upon. The unusual construction produced a set of operational follies along the way, The end project is a hand-scale sight gag—a set of off-kilter details that act visually much like Wine's Best Stores, but at a small scale.

Lavin asks, "Who and What is communicating?" She says that in the original Postmodernism, there was architecture communicating with broader audiences, while today, it seems like the work is attempting to communicate with a smaller cadre of people. Agrest says that the work of Venturi and Scott Brown among others was looking for more direct communication, while Besler and Sons' project is communicating both inside and outside and outside of the profession.
2:09 Andrew Holmes explaining how he made a drawing of The Pompidou Center in 1972 while at Piano Rogers Architects. The competition-winning, 36-foot long drawing was made entirely by hand with multiple mediums. Rapidographs, blueprint machines, and a host of other now-arcane drawing techniques came together for the intensive representation. This live blogger is fascinated, but utterly lost in the process of this drawing. Is that ok?
Ok, now talking about the relationship of line weights and the finished project. A .8 Rapidograph produces a thicker piece of metal, for instance, while a thinner one is nearly invisible in the final table.

During high school, Jimenez Lai got a co-op placement at an animation studio. This was nearly 20 years ago. This is where he developed his relationship to ink, which is the topic of the pairing of Lai and Holmes. This is a thinkpiece about ink. From more recent copies of Noguchi and Tschumi, to living in a gallery in London, Lai is always pushing the boundaries of drawing in social contexts. There are not only physical boundaries in the galleries, but also limits on the audiences and spectators that might enter the space.
I remember that London project in 2012 where Lai asked the gallery to buy him a robe. I was there, man.
Lost&Found-Jimenez Lai. (Mimi Zeiger/AN)
"Yes, I do do sloppy work," he said, referencing Norman Kelley (NK) and Speedism. On one end of the spectrum is NK's immaculate craft of incorrect compositions, while Speedism's fast and dirty accelerationist collages thrive on sloppiness as a political stance within internet culture.
Holmes is promiscuous and boring to watch draw, while Lai is "very committal," and more fun to watch draw, as his practice of spectacular public drawing. Holmes says that his drawings are love objects for him, that have supported him throughout his life.
3:10 Wondering what it means to liveblog an event if no one is watching. Will people read it later? Is it still a live blog? Wonder what James Wines is thinking right now.
3:45 Chad Floyd up next. He is going to mix it up with some urbanism.
Talking about the components of making a design process work for multiple parties. Floyd worked with Charles Moore to facilitate public TV programming that included a general population in the design process. They even built a storefront office that gave them a presence in Dayton for meetings.

As ideas would come in, they would write down ideas on large papers on the wall. They also had a TV Show that broadcast the plans, while accepting calls from the public. Concepts, zoning plans and models were on TV throughout the communities where they were developed. Roanoke Design 79, Riverdesign Springfield, and were the most robust program. "This is not avant-garde architecture. It is bringing back a city that has been down, and doing it in a real way that people appreciate," Floyd said.
This is one of the babies that was thrown out with the bathwater of Postmodernism. The engaged process of including local agencies and publics is a lost art. There are examples of firms doing it today, most notably FAT and the AOC in London.
Philip Johnson rummaging through a trashcan of history. (Matt Shaw/AN)
4:16 Andrew Kovacs takes the stage to talk about making architecture from architecture. First, there is a two-part process, which I will reductively describe as collecting and editing. An analysis of Jencks's charts led into Kovacs's own analysis of internet searches and file management. The searching an browsing is compared to persistence hunting, a technique of outlasting your opponent. It leads him to libraries and trashcans and dollar stores.
Andrew Kovacs (Matt Shaw/AN)
By scanning books and objects in the same scanner, it levels them all out, and allows the Photoshop arrangements to become the narratives (or lack thereof) that animate the work. Appropriating objects becomes a way of animating space. Although it is very Postmodern, "the dogs don't know the difference."

Michael Meredith sits facing the screen to scroll through his website. "This is a little wierd for me too." The talk is called "Indifference as a Posture." The talk scrolled slowly through the website while describing the connections he sees through Pop and minimalism that make his practice.
4:58 Final discussion has Denise Scott Brown talking about participation and her experiments with including inner city people in the process.
