(Via RE) - Dr. Jonathan Binstock, whose thesis work in Philly was about DC artist Sam Gilliam, will be leaving his post as the Curator for Contemporary Art at the Corcoran in Washington, DC in order to join the corporate world at the Art Advisory Service at Citi (nee Citibank), where he will work as a senior vice president.
For almost 30 years, Citi has helped some of the Citigroup's customers find and collect art (since it's investment and banks and Samolians... I guess for investment goals) and a whole lot of other art services.
Their website implies "access" as a mean to penetrate the inside and outs of collecting artwork for fun and profit.
As a sideline, I advise and then buy artwork for two collectors, and have a $20,000 monthly budget to buy artwork for those two folks. This is not as easy as one would have imagined, and actually quite an arduous (but still fun) process.
What Citi does is a billion times harder, because they are somewhat promising investors a payoff and payback and return on their purchase price on artwork.
Jonathan Binstock is a sharp, hardworking and savvy dude, and DC and the Corcoran will miss him, but he's got a tough job in front of him, and I wish him the best of luck.
It will be fun to see if Jonathan pushes any DC artists. This will be somewhat difficult, as I suspect that this level of collecting seldom concerns itself with discovering artists who have not yet made it to the ranks of the secondary art market (only about 5-6 DC area artists (as far as I know) have done so... of those only 2-3 are alive.


Be part of something amazing.
An event on the scale of Cycle Greater Yellowstone requires a small army of volunteers to pull off – and our volunteer crew routinely is one of the driving forces behind the event's success.

"Larderet delivers a personal and well-crafted performance of Images Book I, choosing unusual voicings which produce admirable clarity from start to finish. Further in his performances of the second Book of Préludes, he shares unique interpretative ideas, sculpting every texture and layer as if painting a picture and telling a story with his sound. [...] Where this disc truly shines, however, is in Larderet arrangement of the Caplet transcription of Debussy Symphonic Fragments of Le Martyre de saint Sébastien. [...] On this disc, one hears two masters at work : Debussy for harmony and style, and Larderet for flair and appeal."
" This is a stunningly played recital of two of Debussy's most familiar cycles and a world premiere of pianist Vincent Larderet's expansion of André Caplet's piano reduction of Debussy's incidental music to Grabriele D'Annunzio's Le Martyre de saint Sébastien. Reviews in these pages of Larderet's previous work have been unanimously positive. Peter Burwasser recently (40:4) grouped him with Pollini, Brendel, and Badura-Skoda as 'masterful technicians and intellectual[s].' John Bell Young wrote (39:3) that Larderet 'has blossomed into a great pianist indeed.' And Colin Clarke (35:5) described his playing as 'gripping and multitimbred.' I will add that it is full of vivid colors, subtle rubato, and an equal affinity for the contemplative and the virtuosic aspects of Debussy's writing."
"It can be said that it is a wonderful performance combining playfulness and polished poetry."
5 stars "Coup de cœur"
"A stone at the Debussyst edifice"
"Klarheit schafft Debussy hier immer wieder dadurch, dass er einzelne Stimmen in einem dritten System notiert. Die Gegenüberstellung von Einzelstimmen und Akkorden, die höchst differenzierte Dynamik und das parallele Spiel der Farben erfordern vom Interpreten ein Höchstmaß auch in den Bereichen der Agogik und der Pedalisierung. Larderet besitz in dieser Hinsicht Großen Feinsinn."

Apollo's Fire: being a fly on the wall at early rehearsals of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo
April 12, 2018 by Daniel Hathaway
by Daniel Hathaway
Admirers of Thomas Forrest Kelly's 2000 book First Nights: Five Musical Premieres probably wish they could have been physically present to witness the very first performances of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, Handel's Messiah, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, and Stravinsky's Le sacre du printemps.
Me? I wish I had been able to attend the rehearsals — which often prove as interesting as the performances themselves. Rehearsals are where artistic philosophies get established, deals are made between directors and performers, and kinks get worked out. When the piece in question is a staged work, the rehearsal process becomes more complex: the ideas (and egos) of more than one director need to be melded into a single product, and there's much more that can go awry.
Apollo's Fire will produce three semi-staged performances of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo in the next week: two in Kulas Hall at the Cleveland Institute of Music on Friday and Saturday, April 13 and 14 at 7:30 pm, and one at St. Raphael Church in Bay Village on Wednesday, April 18 at 7:30 pm. [Read more…]

fp Creative with Theresa May at Snap House Studios (Jan. 23)
by Nicholas Stevens
Much like genres, names of arts organizations constitute a sort of contract between artist and audience: mislabel something at your peril. The shouting that greeted The Rite of Spring at its debut offers an example. Patrons had paid for a nice evening at the Russian Ballet, and instead watched as dancers stamped all over the floorboards — and their expectations — to an insistent beat. All this to say that when the founders of fp (fresh perspectives) Creative named their classical and new music venture, they implicitly promised that their offerings would represent the best kind of break from convention. Last week, the call of a trumpet heralded a fulfillment of terms.

Is Your Battery Storage Capacity Enough To Power Appliances?
Panasonic Life Solutions
Home solar systems are just one way to improve the energy efficiency of your home. When the sun goes down, during power failures, or during a period of peak rate use on the electrical grid, battery storage allows homeowners to tap into stored energy to power their homes. Home batteries let you collect and save the excess energy for use when you need it most, and pairing your solar panel system with intelligent energy storage transforms your home into a sustainable dwelling.
Read on to learn more about assessing your home's energy storage needs.
How much battery storage do I need?
When thinking about purchasing a battery storage system, you might ask the question: Will your battery storage system power your appliances?
Homeowners gravitate toward the idea of powering all of their appliances—no matter what's happening outside. However, Panasonic Sales Engineer Dan Glaser says it's essential to understand a battery storage system's opportunities and limitations. That way you'll have realistic expectations once you put it to use.
"Many homeowners assume that by installing a home battery storage system, they'll be able to power their whole house," Glaser says. But unless homeowners are building a genuinely off-the-grid system, that's not usually the case.
Glaser helped dispel some of the common misconceptions associated with home battery storage and offered guidance for purchasing a system that meets your desired battery storage applications. Here are five questions to consider as you explore battery storage ideas for your home.
Do you really need backup power for your entire home?
The idea of "whole-home backup" is mostly a myth, Glaser notes. Very few homeowners are backing up their entire home—meaning they're storing enough power to serve all of their electrical needs in the event of a grid outage. The typical service level for a home is 400 amps. "There's not an energy storage system that would provide that amount of power within a typical budget," Glaser says. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule. But overall, most homeowners have more specific power needs during emergencies.
What are your specific backup power needs?
Most likely, you'll be relying on backup power for a short period of time. In these cases, the most affordable and common option is home battery storage that serves as emergency backup power. Such a system would store enough energy to fuel emergency-related power needs, including lighting, outlets to charge mobile devices, and garage door openers. In these cases, one Panasonic EverVolt system more than fits the bill. "It's a basic emergency kit for power," Glaser says.
If you have additional power needs, such as maintaining a 240-volt outlet (perhaps for a refrigerator) or a well pump, then you may require two EverVolt systems. "Some of it depends on your geography," Glaser noted. For example, in hot climates like Nevada, you may need to power your air conditioning not just for comfort, but safety. "It all boils down to the specifics of the home and your budget," Glaser adds.
How do you manage which appliances can pull from your battery capacity?
Glaser says that automating load management is the best approach. To do so, homeowners select which rooms of the house they'd like to back up or which electrical circuits. The installers then create a separate load center and program the backup system to service those areas or appliances. This way, the homeowner doesn't need to manage their electricity use or avoid certain appliances. They can simply use the power available.
How do "smart load control" devices come into play?
These devices make managing power storage that much easier, Glaser says. During an outage, smart load control devices automatically turn off specific circuits for both safety and power savings. Homeowners can use a smartphone app to monitor stored power usage and how much remains available. The app also notifies homeowners about maintenance issues and allows for a host of programmable tasks. You can choose to bundle smart load control devices with your EverVolt purchase.
Are there any ways to save money on battery storage?
As Glaser noted above, determining the minimum battery storage capacity you need to store will ensure you get a system that meets your needs—and that you don't over-purchase on storage. What's more, some states such as California provide incentives for homeowners in areas threatened by wildfires to buy storage. The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) provides subsidies that cover a residential solar storage system's upfront costs. "There are funds still available for people in fire zones," Glaser says.

Cam Newton Will Make NFC East Team 'Contenders': Says Fox Analyst
Heavy on Patriots
By Brian Mazique
Updated Mar 8, 2021 at 10:03pm
Getty Cam Newton
If the New England Patriots don't re-sign Cam Newton, one Fox Sports analyst believes the 2015 NFL MVP could be the piece that pushes the Washington Football Team into contention status.
Former NFL All-Pro and current Fox Sports analyst Marcellus Wiley says he thinks Newton would be a major upgrade over Kyle Allen and Taylor Heinicke. He states his case to co-host Emmanuel Acho on an episode of Speak For Yourself:

Too Harsh on Cam Newton's 2020 Season?
Newton has been pelted with criticism by critics, fans, and others, cutting him no slack for his and the Patriots' performance in 2020. Case in point:
Bill Belichick is contemplating running it back with Cam Newton, this would be a great way to fart in the face of Patriots fans, they need to upgrade, Cam has lost his fastball. pic.twitter.com/pk2IFlvugC
— Ben Maller (@benmaller) March 6, 2021
Newton had virtually no training camp, caught COVID, had no real weapons in the passing game, and was handcuffed by a gameplan that wasn't designed to take advantage of his strengths.
Still, many are resorting to simple hot takes and dismissing him as a non-option for the Patriots in 2021. We know Bill Belichick marches to the beat of his own drum, but it remains to be seen if he'll bring Newton back to New England.
By all indications, Belichick loves Newton's leadership, work ethic, athleticism, and attitude. However, a recent report suggests he has some concerns about his arm strength. It won't be a surprise if Newton's recent pledge to drop weight is something he's doing to decrease the muscle and bulk around his shoulder, which some may believe is a hindrance to his throwing motion–especially after suffering injuries to that part of his body.
Can Newton bounce back and have a much better 2021?
Absolutely, especially considering all of the aforementioned hurdles that impeded him in 2020 don't figure to be there. It should also be noted Newton wants to be in New England, which isn't something that can't be said for some of the other big-name quarterbacks in the NFL.
Newly acquired Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford reportedly didn't want to be traded to the Patriots.
Allowing Newton an opportunity to improve upon his performance from 2020 might be the best way for New England to regain some of the mystique it lost when Tom Brady left and won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Better Situation for Cam: Washington or New England?
If you're looking at this from Newton's perspective, it isn't easy to assess which situation is best. He obviously has a history with Washington's head coach Ron Rivera from both of their time with the Carolina Panthers. They went to Super Bowl 50 together, and Rivera was Newton's head coach when the latter won the NFL MVP in 2015.
WFT also has a stud young running back in Antonio Gibson, a nasty defense led by Chase Young, and a true No. 1 receiver in Terry McLaurin. You could argue the supporting case there is already stronger than in New England, and perhaps, they need an identity, swagger, and the leadership that Newton brings to every room he enters.
The NFC East looks like an easier division to win than the AFC East with the emergence of the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins' steady improvement.
However, Newton seemingly has unfinished business in New England. He wants to prove the challenge wasn't too great and that he can thrive under the greatest head coach in NFL history. He would be in his second year with the offense and with the same offensive coordinator in Josh McDaniels. That level of continuity and stability shouldn't be dismissed.
The Patriots will almost certainly have better weapons than they had last year, thanks to $68 million in cap space (per Spotrac) and the NFL Draft to use as a talent farm. WFT might be the easier route for Newton, but the competitor in him seems to want to tackle the Patriots challenge again.

Anheuser Busch President Explains Why New NFL Deal Makes Sense
In May, when it became clear that Anheuser-Busch had won the rights to be the official beer of the NFL, I ripped the deal as a "lazy buy."
My rationale was that Anheuser-Busch would better doing the stealth type of marketing that craft beers were doing instead of the mainstream deals, which I argued would get less of a bang for their buck.
The deal, reported at six years and $1.2 billion, did include the right to the NFL shield and the use of all the logos. What didn't it include? Well, team deals are separately negotiated and there is no advertising exclusivity for any game except for the Super Bowl.
The package did include a two-year extension (through 2014) on exclusive beer rights for the Super Bowl broadcast. The folks at Anheuser Busch promised me they would respond to my criticism when the time was right. Since the deal actually began today they did so. Here's my conversation with Anheuser Busch president Dave Peacock.
Darren: Tell me why this deal makes sense for Anheuser Busch?
Peacock: Well, for us, we already had 28 of the 32 teams. What it did is allow us to expand our NFL marketing in about a third of industy volume where we weren't leveraging it before because we were limited to a 75-mile radius just around those teams that we sponsored.
Note: When a brand signs a team deal, the territory rights extend to a 75-mile radius around that market. So if A-B has a deal with the Denver Broncos they can't sell Broncos packaging on a retail display in Casper, Wyo. The NFL deal buys that "white space," something that I did not account for in my column. If you don't have the entire NFL deal, you can't use any NFL marks in markets that aren't within 75 miles of an NFL team.
Darren: So you now you have 28 of 32 teams? Is that correct?
Peacock: We have 28 of 32 and we obviously have the national deal with the NFL that we're very excited about.
Note: MillerCoors owns four teams exclusively — the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys. Anheuser-Busch owns at least advertising rights of all the other teams, though all those deals aren't exclusive. MillerCoors says it also owns non-exclusive rights to 17 other NFL teams.
Darren: Let's talk about the potential lockout here. Obviously, in order to say that this is the first day of the deal, you had to cut some sort of check. What happens if there's no NFL season? What happens to that contract? Does that roll over at all?
Peacock: We don't disclose the detailed terms of our contract, but there is money that will come back overall in our NFL investment. We have plans to re-invest if there isn't an NFL season. But we're confident that the NFL and the NFLPA will work it out.
Darren: Why go with the bigger brand Bud Light (as the official beer of the NFL)?
Peacock: Bud Light is the biggest beer brand in the country, biggest beer brand in world and over half of our consumers are avid NFL fans based on our research.

Addictions can be addressed through the union peer-to-peer support that Labor Assistance Professionals (LAP) can provide. Individuals facing addiction find recovery more successful when they have equals to talk to about their challenges. The labor movement wants to support these brothers and sisters so that they can maintain their employment and successfully provide for their families.
Please join the Connecticut AFL-CIO and the Labor Assistance Professionals on June 22nd from 9am-11am and consider training an existing union member as a LAP Representative for your organization.
The Labor Assistance Professionals (LAP, EAP, MAP, etc.) are worksite based programs designed to benefit both employers and employees. A LAP program is an innovative successful solution to helping members and their families who are struggling with lifestyle issues—their mission involves labor helping labor. Many industries and organizations already have someone doing this work; why not make it formalized by joining an ever growing organization to help further education, training and getting your members the help they need, successfully.
The CT Chapter will host an educational forum on June 22nd, to explain why LAP is crucial, and beneficial to every organization. The event will be held at the IUOE Local 478, 1965 Dixwell Avenue in Hamden. A continental breakfast will be served.

On July 1, 1983, a North Korean Ilyushin II-62M jet en-route to Conakry Airport in Guinea crashes into the Fouta Djallon mountains in Guinea-Bissau.
On October 9, 1983 there is an attempted assassination of South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan during an official visit to Rangoon, Burma. Chun survives.
In Sans Soleil, a space object jettisons in outer space.
Alexandra Stewart's voiceover mentions Kamikaze Pilots.
Krasna's letter mentions an earthquake that occurred the previous night.
Paradoxically, Marker's images of Guinea-Bissau include broken statues of Russian revolutionary leaders; Lenin and Stalin (timestamp 00:30:28).
Stewart reports: "The Korean catholic opposition leader Kim D. Jeung kidnapped in Tokyo in '73 by the South Korean gestapo is threatened with a death sentence. A group has begun a hunger strike. Some very young militants are trying to gather signatures in his support."

Two historical events that need to be mentioned even though these events do not correlate to specific images in the film include:
May 20, 1983, is publication date of discovery of the HIV virus in Science journal.
June 13, 1983, 'Pioneer 10' leaves the central Solar System when it passes beyond the orbit of Neptune. Pioneer 10 was NASA's first mission to the outer planets; its last signal was received in January 2003.[1] Neptune, the farthest known planet of our solar system is known as the darkest and coldest. Only about one thousandth of the sunlight received by our planet reaches Neptune.[2]
The title, Sans Soleil, is an allegorical reference to insurmountable / impossible distance. The title is also a metaphorical reference to ontological states that potentially hinder clear sight and connote un-observance or un-perception.
Krasna writes about numerous Japanese ceremonies. Stewart notes how in one ceremony:
"dolls are piled at the temple of Key Mitsu, consecrated to canon – the goddess of compassion and are burned in public. I looked at the participants. I think that the people who saw off the Kamikaze Pilots had the same look on their faces."
This is an interesting Japanese ritual in light of Jacques Rivette films: Joan the Maid 1: The Battles (1994) and Joan the Maid 2: The Prisons (1994).
A similar theme to Harun Farocki's Eye-Machine 1, is represented in Sans Soleil – in a form to capture space on the vertical axis as opposed to an inclined trajectory. A submarine shoots a rocket from depths at sea. The camera follows the rocket's upward movement until it encounters atmospheric air pressure.
Marker makes an explicit reference to memory and media in the following excerpt. He alludes to the notion of historical memory in year 4001. Although, the film comprises the historical memory in context of year 4001 – release date of the film is historical memory for year 4001:
"I remember the images I filmed in the month of January in Tokyo. They have substituted themselves for my memory. They are my memory. I wonder how people remember things who don't film, don't photograph, don't tape. How has mankind managed to remember? […] As we await the year 4001 and its total recall, that's what the oracles would take out of their long hexagonal boxes that new year may offer us. […] A little more power over that memory that runs from camp to camp – like Joan of Arc.?
"The Garden of Forking Paths," by Jorge Luis Borges, is a fictive account of abstract spaces of historical memory.
The Algerian War (1954 – 1962) and the Cold War (1947 – 1991) affect the figurative landscape(s) – not as devasting as the World Wars. Virilio mentions 'broken faces' which are bound to affect identity. Rosa Menkam cites Paul Virilio:
"Because the war disfigured, destroyed, and mutilated reality, as much as it did human bodies and outdoor spaces, realist conventions (formerly/formally understood) were no longer reproducible. Thus, many artists could only use some (destroyed or mutilated) form of figuration."[1]

A gift to newlyweds from the state in the late 1930s, Mein Kampf (My Struggle) is now illegal to copy or print in Germany. But in 2016, 70 years after Hitler's death, the book will enter the public domain. One publication is already slated to hit the stores: a heavily annotated version designed by the Institute of Contemporary History (IfZ) in Munich to set the record straight.
Christian Hartmann, the historian heading up the project, took a clinical approach to the hate-filled text, but still found the language and violence "nauseating". He told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung that although the original book was "full of errors and poorly written, with substandard editing," it must be taken seriously, as "one of the most important sources for understanding Hitler and his worldview."
The new edition will offer fact-checking, rebuttals, context and clarification that will give the reader more than an understanding of Hitler's worldview: the ammunition to refute it will run right alongside. The original text will no longer stand in the foreground; by enclosing it within the commentary, the IfZ aims to highlight the truth, which more often than not stands in stark contrast to Hitler's claims. Each of the over 3500 footnotes was heavily researched--references to Jews as "maggots" actually led to conversations with parasitologists--and even technically true statements were subject to intensive examination and elucidation. In many cases the commentary is longer than the actual text to which it refers.
Refuting Hitler's fear mongering and hate with pure facts brought Dr. Hartmann tremendous satisfaction, and he believes that offering an edition that challenges the polemics of Mein Kampf--as well as any uncritical versions that may appear on the market--is a national duty that is well worth a lifetime of finding his name linked to Hitler's on Google.
This is a curious time of year. July often passes in a flash, but August tends to feel like a bridge we have to trudge over to reach our real destination. A new season is just around the corner, but not quite close enough, and there's a collective sense that we're all just waiting for something. But what? To welcome in a month that truly epitomizes our complicated relationship with time, today we're giving you Kahlil Gibran's take on the passage of time.


If you're new to the idea of lead scoring, no doubt you're starting to get excited by this concept. Imagine being able to tell which leads are ready to buy, which ones are only in a holding pattern perhaps doing research, and which leads will likely remain cold forever. Lead qualification is an important part of lead management technology.
1. Explicit information scores help ballpark a lead.
Any lead may provide factual information about the company size, industry segment, job title, etc. This data can be misleading—either over inflating the company or undervaluing their potential—but likely gives you enough information to know whether or not they could be a hot lead.
2. Implicit information scores help refine the temperature assessment of a lead.
Explicit, self-supplied information can fudge the overall picture, but actions never lie. Does the lead visit the company's website numerous times? Do they click on links in emails? Do they respond to emails? In other words, do they behave like hot prospects?
3. Sales no longer spins their wheels on unqualified leads.
With the right combination and weighting of explicit and implicit scores, only the truly hot leads are sent to sales. Let's give a B2B example. The junior manager who is fishing for information to impress their VP may be a warm or even a cold lead. They may only visit the website once and may never answer any emails. The mid-level manager who is tasked with research and acquisition, on the other hand, will be making a decision and needs to gather as much information as possible in a short period of time. Their behavior is quite different.
4. Warm and cold leads are nurtured toward hot lead status.
Sales is not equipped to spend a lot of time lead nurturing. With quotas and deadlines looming, who can blame them for ignoring such lackluster potential? Having a separate business unit keep tabs on the warm and cold leads is a distinct advantage, and if you apply demand generation techniques, these undesirables can be converted into tomorrow's hot prospects.
5. Sales forecasting gets a boost in accuracy.
By segregating your leads into various categories of warmth, you can know just how full your pipeline really is. Your quotas will prove to be more realistic and achievable, and your sales force will thrive.
6. Lead scoring can be outsourced.
Imagine that. You can have all of the benefits of lead scoring, lead qualification and demand generation, and not be burdened with the infrastructure overhead. You don't have to do it all in-house.


Angela McCaskill was placed on administrative leave after she affirmed marriage after signing a petition for a referendum on Maryland's law that redefined it. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, says the school violated anti-discrimination provisions of the D.C. Human Rights Act.
Supporters of keeping marriage defined as it always has been – one man and one woman – are being threatened in state after state. Opponents are seeking to silence their voice from the public square. We must continue to fight for our freedom of speech on this issue and others.
Currently in our own state legislature, there is legislation to write discrimination into our anti-discrimination laws. By adding "sexual orientation" and "gender identity or expression" to these laws, Christians like Angela McCaskill could be punished for their views on marriage.
Contact your Representative and Senator and ask them to oppose House Bill 300 and Senate Bill 300.


I have a Pale Ale that's been 9 days in primary. I had a good and uneventful brewday and pitched Nottingham Yeast (my goto) on 6/21. It is still kinda milky/cloudy looking with a thin Kroussen on the surface. I smelled it last night and it smells fine. This is my first time using rye in a batch. I have Maris Otter (70%), smoke(5%), Crystal 60(5%), and rye (20%). Is it normal for rye beers to be this way? Usually my beers are clear-ish and ready to rack by now.
I doubt it's the rye malt, I have had haze issues with some varieties of MO, nothing a little gelatin couldn't fix.
9 days is way too early to be concerned about beer appearance/clarity at this stage of fermentation. Let your beer sit for at least 2 wks total prior to packaging. During that second week after fermentation has died down, the yeast will still continue to clean up after themselves (conditioning), improving the beer, as well as allowing the yeast to drop out of suspension resulting in a clearer final product.

Excerpt from Research Paper :
Canada International Trade
International trade accounts for a dominant share of the Canadian economy, led by exports of natural resources. Exports accounted for approximately 25% of Canada's GDP in 2010. Agricultural, energy, forestry and mining exports accounted for about 58% of total exports. Machinery, equipment, automotive products and other manufactured goods accounted for a further 38% of exports. The United States is by far its largest trading partner, accounting for about 75% of exports and 51% of imports (followed by China 11% and Mexico 5%.) Canada's combined exports and imports ranked 8th among all nations. Canada recorded a positive balance of trade overall in 2010: exports C$407B and imports C$ 406B. Canada enjoyed a substantial positive balance of trade with the United States in 2007 and 2008, but slipped into the red in 2009 and 2010. (See Exhibit 1) (CIA, 2010)
Among the world's wealthiest nations, Canada has the ninth largest economy, and is a member of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and Group of Eight (G8). The Canadian economy is dominated by the service industry (71%), which employs about three quarters of the working population (2010 estimate: 19 million people). Canada's unemployment rate in 2010 was 8% of the workforce, compared to 9.7% in the United States. Canada is unusual among developed countries in the importance of the primary sectors, with logging and oil extraction being the two most significant. These primary industries are dwindling in importance to the overall economy. Only about 4% of Canadians are employed in these fields, and they account for 6.2% of GDP. Canada is alone in the world of rich nations as a net exporter of energy. (CIA, 2010)
Government Influence on Trade
The Canadian government supports the expansion of foreign trade through international treaties and agreements. In 1989, Canada and the United States signed the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) which eliminated many tariffs and taxes on goods that were traded between the two nations. As a result, trade increased by 50% before NAFTA superseded the FTA in 1994. (Encyclopedia of the Nations, 2010)
Owing to the success of the FTA and NAFTA, Canada entered into similar agreements with other nations, namely Costa Rica, Israel, and Singapore. In 1997, it initiated a version of the FTA with Chile. This agreement was designed to prepare Chile for eventual entry into NAFTA. Canada is a member of a number of international economic organizations including the WTO, the Free Trade Area of the Americas, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum. (Encyclopedia of the Nations, 2010)
Canada v. United States
Although generally friendly on the trade front, the United States and Canada have disagreed on a number of areas. When disputes arise between the two nations, they are usually submitted to international bodies for resolution, usually the WTO and NAFTA. A major fisheries dispute, centered on the Gulf of Maine, was settled by the International Court of Justice in 1984. In 1990, the United States and Canada signed the Fisheries Enforcement Agreement that was designed to discourage illegal fishing. This was followed by the 1999 Pacific Salmon Agreement that settled disagreements over salmon fishing. (Encyclopedia of the Nations, 2010)
The Canadian government has erected significant barriers to free trade in the form of restrictions on the ownership of companies headquartered in the country. Foreign individuals and companies are limited to 25% ownership in Canadian airlines and 20% ownership of telecommunications companies. They are also restricted to 49% stakes in commercial fishing ventures. (Encyclopedia of the Nations, 2010)
Owing to the potential dominating influence of American culture, Canada tries to preserve its traditions from being overwhelmed by the United States. For instance, the Canadian government kept cultural industries such as movies, music, or literature out of the NAFTA agreement. In addition, the provincial government of Quebec requires that all products marketed in the province be labeled in French, and throughout Canada both French and English are used in packaging and labels. While 90% of all imported goods enter Canada without any form of tax or tariff, certain products face tariffs that range from 0.9% to 13%. The highest level of tariff is applied to goods such as vegetables, cut flowers, sugar, wine, dairy, poultry, textiles, clothing, footwear, and boats. These tariffs apply to 35 different countries. (Encyclopedia of the Nations, 2010)
Daniel Trefler, of the University of Toronto (1999), has assessed the impact of the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement on Canadian manufacturing during the period 1989 -- 1996. For the most impacted industries, the tariff eliminations reduced employment by 18%, output by 12% and the number of firms by 12%. For all manufacturing the respective numbers were four percent, two percent, and four percent. The tariff cuts raised labor productivity at a compounded rate of 3.2% per year for the most impacted industries and at 0.6% per year for all manufacturing. Trefler concluded that "the effects of the FTA tariff concessions are smaller than one would imagine from the heat of the debate." (Trefler, 1999)
Impact of NAFTA
The North American Free Trade Ageement (NAFTA) is a trilateral free trade deal that came into force in January 1994, supplanting the FTA. Lee Teslik (2009) of the Council on Foreign Relations saw that the main theme of the agreement to be the elimination of the vast majority of tariffs on products traded among the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The terms of the agreement called for these tariffs to be phased out gradually, and the final aspects of the deal weren't fully implemented until January 1, 2008. The deal swept away export tariffs in several industries: agriculture was a major focus, but tariffs were also reduced on items like textiles and automobiles. NAFTA also implemented intellectual-property protections, established dispute-resolution mechanisms, and put into place regional labor and environmental safeguards. Trade relations among Canada, Mexico, and the United States have broadened substantially since NAFTA's implementation, though experts disagree over the extent to which this expansion is a direct result of the deal. According to data from the office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), the United States' chief negotiator in foreign trade and a major booster of NAFTA and other free trade accords, the overall value of intra-North American trade has more than tripled since the agreement's inception. The USTR adds that regional business investment in the United States rose 117% between 1993 and 2007, as compared to a 45% rise in the fourteen years prior. Trade with NAFTA partners now accounts for more than 80% of Canadian and Mexican trade, and more than a third of U.S. trade. (Teslik, 2009)
Canada has experienced economic growth since NAFTA's implementation. In fact, Canada has seen the strongest gains of the three partners, though Teslik finds it difficult to attribute direct causation, particularly given that Canada and the United States had the FTA before NAFTA. Canada's GDP has grown at a faster rate than either Mexico's or the United States' since 1994. Between 1994 and 2003, Canada's economy showed average annual growth rates of 3.6%, compared to 3.3% in the United States and 2.7% in Mexico. Canadian employment levels have also shown steady gains in recent years, with overall employment rising from 14.9 million to 15.7 million in the early 2000s. Even Canadian manufacturing employment held steady, despite the "productivity gap" between the Canadian and U.S. economies. U.S. labor productivity has consistently outpaced Canada's, and the gap has broadened since NAFTA was put in place. (Teslik, 2009)
The Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada team offers another view of the impact of NAFTA. They note the already impressive growth of Canadian exports since the FTA came into effect on January 1, 1989. But then, Canadian exports to the United States increased by 80% in the NAFTA's first five years, rising from $151 billion in 1993 to $271 billion in 1998. As shown in Exhibit 1, in 2010, Canada exported $361 billion to the United States, down from the $438 billion in 2009. Trade in machinery and transportation equipment continues to be at the core of the commercial relationship between Canada and the United States. Since the FTA and subsequently the NAFTA were implemented, Canadian exports to the United States for manufactured and industrial goods, with their higher value -- added components, have steadily increased. Similarly, Canada continues to be the main destination of exports from the United States, with Canadian imports from the U.S. reaching $365 billion in 2010, having increased 78% during the first five years of the NAFTA. (Foreign Affairs, 2011)
Factor Mobility
Labor Mobility
Steven Globerman of Western Washington University (April 1999) discussed and evaluated the relationship between trade liberalization and the migration of skilled professional and managerial workers in the Canadian context. In particular, he considered whether and how the Canada-U.S... Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) may have affected bilateral flows of permanent and non-permanent immigrants between Canada and the United States. (Globerman, 1999)
Globerman referenced classical economic theory, which predicts that trade and…

Image Source: news in Germany
Given that Pelé was one of the best international football players, it makes sense that his death and what caused it are topics of interest for fans.
Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pelé, was born in Três Coraçes, Minas Gerais, Brazil, on October 23, 1940. When he began playing for Santos Futbol Clube at age 15 and the Brazilian national team at 16, he was a teenager just beginning his professional international football career.
The soccer icon Pelé, who motivated the entire nation on and off the field, passed away on Thursday after a battle with colon cancer. He was 82.
In September 2021, a tumor was removed from Pelé, who has received chemotherapy since. His daughter claimed he was admitted to a hospital in late November to manage his medicines. But in previous weeks, his condition deteriorated, and a few days later, he was placed in palliative care.
In response to "kidney and cardiac dysfunctions," Pelé was put into "elevated care" last week, according to a statement from the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo. His agent informed The Associated Press of his passing.
After winning his first FIFA World Cup trophy in 1958 with Brazil's national side, Pelé was given the moniker O Rei, which translates to "The King" in Portuguese. He won his third FIFA World Cup in 1970 after taking home his second in 1962. At the height of his career, Pelé owned the Guinness World Record for the most scored, with 1,279 goals in 1,363 contests. Pelé is credited for coining "The Beautiful Game" about football. In 1977, Pelé declared retirement from professional international football after 20 years in the game.
Pelé, a member of three World Cup-winning Brazilian teams, is recognized as the strongest soccer player of all time and is frequently credited with coining the phrase "the beautiful game" to characterize the game.
Pele's Journey: From Street Urchin to big screen

Originally from Tres Coracoes, Brazil, Edson Arantes do Nascimiento spent his formative years in the impoverished town of Bauru in Sao Paulo. His father was a failing soccer player. Although his parents chose to omit the "I" & call him Edson, he was given the name Thomas Edison in honor of the American inventor. His relatives dubbed him "Dico."
But the moniker "Pelé" made the world aware of him.
Its beginning is unknown; Pelé admitted he had no idea how it started. According to urban lore, his schoolmates awarded it to him after they heard him mispronounce the name of his favorite soccer player, goalkeeper Bile of Vasco da Gama.
When promoting the movie "Pele: Birth of a Legend," a movie of his early years, he admitted to Fox News Latino in 2016 that he disliked the moniker as a small child but later grew to love it as admirers all over the world began repeating it more and more.
Pelé claimed at the time, "I could not change it.

How did Pele start playing Soccer?

As a young child, Pelé started playing Soccer and frequently used a grapefruit or a sock filled with newspaper and connected with a string. He participated in several amateur teams and helped the local junior Bauru Athletic Club squad win two Sao Paulo state juvenile championships.
Waldemar de Brito, a former player for the Brazilian national soccer team and Pelé's childhood coach, persuaded Pelé's parents to allow their son to try out for the Santos professional club when he was 15 years old.
Pelé, a legendary Brazilian soccer player, attends the 2018 World Cup draw on December 1 at Moscow's Kremlin.
After being signed, the teenager started having an effect. Before he reached 16, he scored his first professional goal. In his first complete season, he scored the most goals in the Brazilian soccer league.
The 1958 World Cup in Sweden served as the phenom's official debut to the world. The 17-year-old Pelé, who had exceptional speed, athleticism, and field vision, grabbed three goals in a 5-2 semifinal victory over France before scoring two more goals in a 5-2 championship victory over the host nation.
How was Pele motivated by his father's tears following Brazil's last World Cup final?
The teenage superstar has later designated a national treasure by the country's president at the time, Janio Quadros, which made it more difficult for him to play lawfully abroad. Pelé nevertheless continued to participate in lucrative exhibition games with teams worldwide.

A highly protective moisturizer that helps prevent skin cancer and combats the tell-tale signs of aging. A triple defense mechanism defends against UV rays, while a specialized blend of Hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C work in concert to help the face obtain a more youthful appearance – tighter and firmer with fewer discolorations.
Piasecki MD Anti-Aging Day Cream with SPF 30 hydrates, nourishes, rejuvenates and protects skin with its effective hypoallergenic formulation. Water evaporates quickly from skin, our day cream helps to hold moisture in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, creating a barrier in which helpful oils can't escape. In parched circumstances, and especially when the sun is involved, unprotected skin can turn dry resulting in cracks and fissures that may invite infection and inflammation.
UVA rays penetrate skin and damage tissue, thus accelerating the aging process and increasing the risk of skin cancer like melanoma. UVB rays damage the epidermis layer of the skin, harming the DNA structure of skin cells resulting in sunburn. Should this occur, normal cells could transform to malignant cells leading to basal or squamous cell cancer.
Zinc Oxide is considered the safest and most protective ingredient available in guarding the skin from the harmful effect of ultraviolet (UV) rays. SPF 30 blocks out 97% of UVB rays. An advanced organic chemical agent acts as the second line of defense, absorbing any rays that penetrate the Zinc Oxide. A precise combination of antioxidants act as a third mechanism to neutralize reactive oxygen intermediates that are biproducts of UV rays and can also damage cells.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural ingredient and one of the most powerful moisturizers available. It works with the elastin and collagen already present in the skin to add elasticity and suppleness while stimulating new cell growth and hydrating skin. Hylauronic acid can hold 1,000 times its weight in water, making it an ideal humectant that can plump skin and minimize the appearance of wrinkles and because of the unique formulation, give the entire face a tighter and more lifted appearance.
Vitamin C helps improve the appearance of pigment irregularities (melasma) commonly known as sun damage, age spots and "pregnancy mask". A powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C is an ascorbic acid that has shown to help counteract wrinkle formation by increasing collagen production, stabilizing skin's natural loss of elasticity.
Piasecki MD Anti-Aging Day Cream SPF 30 works to moisturize and protect skin in a non-greasy, non-comedogenic formula. Can be applied to all skin types.
To enhance your product experience, try cleansing first with Piasecki MD Sericin Silk Cleanser.
This moisturizer was a miracle for me. Not only did it reduce the redness I had been experiencing, my skin seemed to maintain its moisture throughout the day and had an overall feeling of increased resiliency. I haven't worn make-up foundation in weeks as I haven't had to hide the usual redness/irritation in my cheeks. It's been wonderful having such a quick response by following a very simple skin care regime!
Great SPF coverage! No runny moisturizer, no burning, and most importantly, no sunburn.
After 5 days of use my face glowed and I noticed improvement in my complexion.
This is the best moisturizer I have ever used!!
I have been using this Day Cream for about a year and love it. I have combination skin that is prone to breakouts and many moisturizers either do not adequately soothe my dry areas or they lead to more acne. This one leaves my skin moisturized and clear!
I use this every day after shaving and it is wonderful. And provides SPF protection. Couldn't ask for more.

Behind the growing demand for 'unbreakable' bamboo bikes
Known for its strength and durability, bamboo has been used to make items across Asia for centuries, from chopping boards in Japan to firecrackers in Malaysia to the scaffolding of today, so why not bicycles? Southeast Asia Globe looks into how these rigid weeds become a viable means of transportation
Claire Baker-Munton
A bamboo bike.
Belgian-born bicycle designer and founder of Mekong Creations Bernard Kervyn isn't afraid to put his "unbreakable" bamboo to the test: "Take a piece of 20mm gauge bamboo, drill it with 10mm holes every centimetre, place the bamboo between two concrete blocks and invite two people to dance on it. It will bend, perhaps split but never break."
It's this structural "softness" that gives bamboo the edge over its high-tech, highly rigid rival, carbon fibre. "When you ride on bumpy roads, the bamboo absorbs vibrations – it's a natural shock absorber," says Bernard.
Bamboo's secret lies in its woody fibre: microscopic tubes in the stem give the plant its strength, which is comparable to light steel, while considerably heavier than carbon fibre. The frames average three kilograms, but the synthetic epoxy resin joins account for much of the total. Bernard's company then wraps the joins in hemp grown in northern Vietnam to keep the design aesthetic. "They are really striking, beautiful objects," Bernard says.
Part of the grass family, bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth, with some of its 1,400 species able to shoot up almost one metre in 24 hours. Bamboo has been touted as one of the most sustainable and environmentally friendly crops, in part due to its proliferation, plus its ability to sequester C02 and reverse soil degradation, which make it a good candidate for reforestation efforts.
The tamvong species, which translates to "steel" in English, is used for building bicycles, but it's not strong enough until it's at least 3 years old, according to Bernard. The synthetic resin in Bernard's bicycles may not align with the green credentials of the bamboo which it holds together, but it does make repairing frames easier: "Even when a frame has split ten or 20 centimetres long," Bernard explains, "you just need a little bit of resin or glue in the split, and that's it."
History of bamboo bicycles
Globally, there are over a dozen organisations making bamboo bicycles today, but their legacy extends back much further: the first patent was taken out by British Bamboo Cycle Company in 1894. Its unveiling at the London Stanley Show caused a sensation, but the effect on the bicycle-riding public was not lasting.
Bamboo bicycles didn't hit production lines again until over a century later, led by American professional frame builder extraordinaire Craig Calfee. Calfee was the brains behind the first carbon fibre frames to enter the Tour de France, which he correctly predicted would one day constitute 100% of bicycles in the race.
While watching his dog play with a bamboo stick in the mid-1990s Calfee was struck by the reed's strength. Still buoyed by the success of carbon fibre cycles racing in the Tour de France, he built a prototype bamboo bike as a gimmick for a trade show. It wasn't until 2005 that Calfee's first-class bamboo frames hit the road to great fanfare, inspiring Bernard and others to go into production.
"There's nothing revolutionary about making bikes out of bamboo," Bernard notes. "Although, of course, the techniques have evolved over time."
Nowadays, demand for bamboo bicycles is increasing, with a number of purveyors in recent years even offering people the chance to learn how to build their own frames.
Like Calfee, Bernard does not foresee bamboo displacing carbon fibre bicycles in the Tour de France. They are occasionally seen in races in the US however, such as the 2014 Red Hook Criterium held in New York where a custom bamboo build was the first over the finish line.
"Sure, they are heavier than carbon fibre bikes," says Bernard "but for off-road riding they're ideal."
6 steps to make a bamboo bicycle
Source your bamboo – ideally tamvong species, at least 38mm thick and 3 years' maturity
Soak the bamboo in a solution of boric acid for a few days to treat the bamboo
Leave the bamboo to dry in the sun for up to 1 week
Cut your bamboo to size for your frame
Prepare materials for your joins: soak hemp fibres in a solution of epoxy resin for durability
50 hours of workmanship go into every frame, with half a day for assembly

It's not unusual for us to get a call from a frantic pet owner: "My poor cat is stuck at the top of a tree! The Fire Department won't help us. Can you get it down?"
We understand that you're upset. And most of the time, we can help you. Over the years, we have gladly rescued many cats from the treetops. If the tree is large enough and safe to climb, we'll hang a rope, climb up to get the cat, and lower it down in a bag specially designed for scared kittycats. It often takes a while to get the job done, but we're usually successful.
Did you know that cats in trees have many personalities? Above all, they are unpredictable, and most of the time they are very different than their normally sweet and loving selves. Their reaction to the approach of a human defines their treetop character.
"Sitters" wait for you to climb up to get them.
"Greeters" climb down to you as you're climbing up.
"Runners" go further out on the branch to get away.
"Pissers" start spraying to keep you away.
"Jumpers" leap from the tree when you get close.
It's pretty stressful to have to learn who your cat is when it's high up in the treetops.
Many people think they can rescue a cat themselves by propping a ladder against a tree and going up to to get it. Please don't try this — it's dangerous! What will you do if the cat walks out on a branch beyond your reach or climbs higher into the tree? Are you willing to take a chance on a ladder falling over with you on it? The cat is safer coming down on its own.
Call us or a local tree service to rescue your cat! Our fee starts at $250.

Today the nurses went to Canaan to do a mobile clinic. It is such a desolate tent camp, it left the volunteers feeling a little discouraged.
