SEAD: Secure Efficient Distance Vector Routing for Mobile Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
by Yih-Chun Hu, David B. Johnson, Adrian Perrig , 2003
"... An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless computers (nodes), communicating among themselves over possibly multihop paths, without the help of any infrastructure such as base stations or access points. Although many previous ad hoc network routing protocols have been based in part on distance vec ..."

Negative interest rates could be coming. What would it mean for borrowers and savers?
By Harry Scheule
The Reserve Bank considered it, the big banks hated it, so could negative interest rates actually work? Professor of finance Harry Scheule from the University of Technology Sydney explains.
There's a row brewing in the corridors of financial power. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) recently advised the trading banks that the official cash rate might move from the barely positive into the negative.
Right now the RBNZ is holding off such a move in favour of other monetary stimulus measures. But the big banks strongly oppose negative rates, arguing they've had limited success overseas and that the country's banking technology isn't up to it.
For the central bank, however, it remains an option to stimulate spending, investment and employment as part of the Covid-19 recovery. By reducing the cost of borrowing, economic activity picks up – or so the theory goes.
Those turning to unconventional monetary policy include Japan, Switzerland and the European Union. Negative rates range from –0.1% to –0.8% for selected tiers of central bank deposits.
In the past, cash rate changes have fed through to changes in loan and deposit rates. For example, a 25-basis-point drop in the cash rate may result in an annual interest saving of $2,500 on a $1 million loan.
At the current low-interest rates, however, these changes are no longer passed on – significantly limiting the powers of the RBNZ.
Yes, the bank pays you to borrow
It might sound crazy, but if the lending rate is negative and you borrow an amount on interest-only terms, the bank actually pays you interest every period. For example, Jyske Bank in Denmark is offering negative interest payments by effectively reducing the repayment period.
Banks should be comfortable offering negative rates to borrowers if, in turn, the banks themselves have savings and other funding at even lower rates.
But this is the issue: why would savers pay banks to accept deposits? First, they can hold their investments in cash at a zero-interest rate rather than pay a bank. Second, they can choose to invest in riskier assets with positive interest rates.
Because of this, only very large depositors (with limited ability to store cash) tend to leave their money in banks offering negative rates, while ordinary depositors receive a rate of zero or more.
But do negative rates work?
Arguably, the era of monetary policy as a tool for stimulating economic investment and activity has come to an end. Negative rates don't necessarily translate into productive investment and growth.
Countries that have gone negative have not delivered the expected increases in spending and investment. Furthermore, the difficulty of passing negative rates on to depositors means lending and deposit rates no longer follow the cash rate.
This is also evident in Australia, where a cash rate drop from 0.25% to 0.15% has not been passed on to mortgage borrowers, except in isolated areas such as fixed-rate loans.
The chart below compares the average variable rate on mortgages with the New Zealand cash rate, with the gap growing over time. Charts for Australia and other developed economies would be comparable.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has advised borrowers to change lenders if they don't pass on rate cuts. But there is little central banks can do to offset what is a systemic problem.
Negative interest rates are unlikely to be the right response to the current Covid-19 shocks. Rather than leading to higher spending, we tend to see the opposite — more saving.
In the long run, however, depositors will seek greater returns and move their funds to riskier asset classes, including housing markets, which will push up prices and reduce affordability for new buyers.
Most economists agree inflation is not a concern for now. But what about the medium term? If interest rates climb again, highly leveraged mortgages may be difficult to service.
Either way, negative rates are not a long-term solution to current economic challenges. We need to find ways to make the national economy more flexible, requiring fewer rescue interventions.
The fragility of supply chains and the still limited movement of labour, goods and services should be priorities. New technologies may become key — innovations that enable working from home and organising activities online have already saved whole industries.
Also, the banking system itself needs reform. Banks work on an assumption of once-in-a-thousand-year shocks — but we have seen two in the past 13 years!
After the 2008 global financial crisis, safety buffers in the financial systems were put in place. For example, bank capital requirements were set high, to be run down in economic downturns. Would now be the right time to run them down rather than insisting they be maintained?
Beyond reaching for negative rates, the need to rethink economic fundamentals and create systems that are more resilient to global shocks should be the lasting lessons of Covid-19.

James Brown III: LIFE Magazine's Face Of Ivy, 1954
The name James M. Brown III may not be familiar to you, but every trad web surfer knows his face, the face of an undergraduate of 60 years ago. Brown is pictured above in a shot from LIFE Magazine's 1954 article "The Ivy Look Heads Across US," which was much seen when the LIFE archives were put on the web several years ago.
James Brown may have been destined to be the poster boy for J. Press and the new collegiate look that would sweep America in 1954. He was born in New Rochelle, New York, and raised in Mamaroneck and Darien, Connecticut. Brown was in the Kent school class of 1952. While at Kent he played football and hockey and rowed crew. Brown was in the Yale Class of 1956, where he was a member of Fence and Haunt (America's oldest drinking club). He majored in American Studies and minored in visiting the prominent girl's schools.
Ivy Style caught up with Brown via his yacht club. The octogenarian, who still possesses a warm smile and bright eyes, was interested in revisiting the article again and graciously shared with us his memories of how he became the face of Ivy (in profile, at least).
It was the fall of 1954 when a simple errand put him on a collision course with Ivy style history. "J. Press, or J. Squeeze as we called it, was the New Haven substitute for Brooks Brothers," says Brown. "Best I can remember was that I had walked in to check on tails they were making for me." When Brown entered the shop he was initially unaware that LIFE was shooting the New Haven portion of the article. "Somebody asked if I would change and then come back for some pictures. My residential College, Davenport, was next to J. Press, so it was easy."
The photographer was Nina Leen, a Russian-born, self-taught vagabond who emigrated from Germany in 1939. She became one of LIFE's first female photographers with more than 50 covers to her credit. Her photograph shows Brown being fitted for a sportcoat by a veteran J. Press salesman Herman Racow. This was a little bit of artistic license, Brown explains: "My salesman was George Feen, a short fellow, and you stuck with one salesman. George was the go-t0 guy for fixing parking tickets."
Many Ivy devotees have mooned over the jacket he is wearing in the photo. "I don't think I bought that jacket," Brown recalls. "As I remember, they wanted to feature it and it fit."
The tailcoat he'd commissioned was another matter. It saw plenty of action during the debutante season. "There were a lot of great coming-out parties with lots of alcohol, legal then," he recalls. "I remember rolling down the hill of John Nicholas Brown's daughter's coming-out in those tails, to the breakfast tent at 2 AM. That house is now Harbour Court, the New York Yacht club station in Newport."
Being featured in LIFE was a footnote in what has been a full life. After college, Brown served two years as an officer in the navy before heading to Wall Street. "The floor was very white shoe/old school tie while I was there. There were some incredibly unsharp members, sons of partners and guys who had the money to buy a seat. Going rate was $165K at the time. I have to admit, many of the clerks I worked with were sharper than I. Eventually firms got smart and bought seats for many clerks. They made great brokers." Brown spent 11 years as a member of the New York Stock Exchange and a partner at Goodbody and Co. "It was a good life and I was lucky for the opportunity," he says. "I hung in there until things got untenable."
As far as hobbies go, Brown's first love was actually being on the other side of the camera. "My grandfather introduced me to photography when I was 12. His dark room, where I learned, was featured in the 1928 Leica manual. While in the navy I won a couple of international awards for my photos." Brown eventually became a commercial photographer. "I shot everything from fashion to candy," he says. "I had a natural bent for marine photography after a lifelong love affair with boats." That's a bit of an understatement, considering Brown has captained or crewed in most of the major Eastern Seaboard races over the years. "What I loved about commercial photography was the challenge of lighting and solving problems," he continues, "even to the extent of making some of my own gear. There was no Photoshop back then. It was film and you had to get it right the first time."
Now happily retired in Florida, Brown still enjoys photography and sailing. — CHRISTOPHER SHARP

Great piece C. Sharp! Very interesting to learn more about the man in the picture.
Chandler | September 12, 2014 at 1:12 pm |
Outstanding. If the opportunity arises for more content like this, please take it – these stories are so wonderful.
GetTicketstotheDance | September 12, 2014 at 1:50 pm |
Wonderful story C. Sharp, very nicely done. I agree with Chandler, I would love to see more stories like this on the site.
Also I may be mistaken, but based on the more current photo it looks like he's still wearing J. Press. I have a very similar polo, in a very similar shade of pink, that's from J. Press.
Boston Bean | September 12, 2014 at 2:17 pm |
Young followers of Ivy Style would do well to notice the authentic ivy fit of Mr. Brown's polo shirt. That's how we wore them in the heyday, and continue to wear them today. This is the opposite of what some commenters have called the gigolo or narcissist look.
David Wilder | September 12, 2014 at 3:34 pm |
Terrific! So wonderful to see the layers of the Ivy onion peeled away for all to savour.
A.E.W. Mason | September 12, 2014 at 4:06 pm |
Wonderfully written and wonderful reading! Thank you. Nothing more life-affirming and uplifting than reading about a life well lived.

Thank you for another interesting story!

Christopher, thanks for the wonderful article which quenches the curiosity that more than a few of us surely must have had about the interesting Mr. Brown.
On a connected subject, I would be very interested to know the current status of the grain-painted J. Press fitting rooms from 262 York Street. Were they carefully and painstakingly disassembled prior to demolition, to be reconstructed with all of their history and patinated surfaces? Were they merely photographed for the future "inspirational" purposes of the architects/interior designers? Or did they end up in a dumpster?
A.E.W. Mason | September 13, 2014 at 1:24 am |
On the other hand, see Exhibit 2.

Extraordinary piece of detective work as well as an absorbing story! Two sentences into the article I knew who the author was – and was all atwitter to read the whole thing!
You are a tremendous asset to the world of Ivy style, Mr. Sharp.
Billax | September 13, 2014 at 9:24 am |
Ensiferous, In response to your question about the grain-painted panels, I was assured by Jim, the store manager in New Haven, that the panels were carefully removed and have been stored in anticipation of being used again in the dressing rooms of the new J. Press building. Keepin' my fingers crossed!
Billax, I am glad that your report from Jim Fitzgerald of J. Press is in accord with what he has also told me. I don't doubt him at all, but I do hope he was given the correct info, and that the preservation actually happens. Thanks, and my fingers are also crossed as I remain cautiously optimistic!
Robert | September 13, 2014 at 5:38 pm |
Great piece on Mr. Brown. Not only does he have true Ivy Style, but he is an inspiration to us who hope that we will age as gracefully and well as he has. Trim, hair not colored and a face filled with character reflecting his 80 years of a life well lived. Best wishes for the continued good life!
Grissino | September 13, 2014 at 11:13 pm |
Apparently some readers think that a life spent on Wall Street is "a life well lived".
Alden Pyle | September 13, 2014 at 11:34 pm |
A life on Wall Street can be a life well-lived, as can be the life of a social worker. Both may also be lives horribly lived.
One thing, however, is for certain, some readers didn't actually read Mr. Sharp's excellent piece.
Robert | September 14, 2014 at 8:00 am |
Grissino's anti-Wall Street bias condemns all who work there. Mr. Brown, by his own admission, left Wall Street when it became :untenable." My comment on Mr. Brown's well-lived-life is based on his broad interests (photography, sailing), having worked in a demanding professional environment and — last but not least — having served his country as a Naval officer.
Oxford Cloth Button Down | September 14, 2014 at 12:29 pm |
I will also add that while he was the poster boy for the Ivy League look the last pic looks to me like he might now be labeled as trad.
S.E. | September 14, 2014 at 3:49 pm |
"…the New Haven substitute for Brooks Brothers." A revealing turn of phrase.
Nicely written piece. Some seriously superb sleuthing indeed.
Not to turn attention away from the biographical to the purely sartorial, but, well, take a look at the jacket and shirt. The longish button down collar, the not very narrow lapel, the jacket length that extends well below the thumbnail.
@S.E.
Regarding the sartorial, I'd say you're exactly right. If fact, the dimensions you cite remind me exactly of those offered by Press in the 80's some 30 years ago.
Speaking of which, I hope Press has dropped S. Cohen as a manufacturer.
Concur totally, Mr. Mason.
I feel sure the better jackets in the fall lineup are Southwick (Brooks Bro.), as are the better suits.
Now that Southwick is offering shirts (Brooks by Garland), maybe J. Press should carry mostly, uh, Brooks.
Wow, as I wrote that I noted the weirdness. Brooks has outlasted them all, eh?
Philly Trad | September 14, 2014 at 10:59 pm |
If I remember correctly, during the heyday, gentlemen of Mr. Brown's current age buttoned the top button of their polo shirts.
MAC | September 15, 2014 at 12:26 am |
"the jacket length that extends well below the thumbnail"
But, if one goes to all the trouble to wear slim cut shirts to show off their "athletic" body why not buy short jackets to show off one's junk? 😉
Philly Trad
It depends on the occasion and the weather.
lm | September 15, 2014 at 1:53 am |
@MAC,
Some of us don't need a short jacket to achieve the effect of which you speak.
@Grissino,
In a previous life (right after the dot-com crash), I owned a company that did financial consulting. I'll admit that the industry definitely attracts people that might charitably be called "unpleasant," but the work was rewarding in ways that went well past the money. The modern world and all its conveniences exist because of modern money and capital markets, and helping make them function is something that you probably have to experience to understand. On the other hand, it's also one of the few places where you can honestly say that moving to a Silicon Valley start-up is a way to *decrease* the stress in your life.
C. Sharp | September 15, 2014 at 7:31 pm |
Wanted to say thank you to everyone. Also to Bill, If you like it I know I am on the right track.
Jeffrey Lee Puckett | April 3, 2017 at 2:15 pm |
When used in reference to the armed services, Navy should always be upper-case. Same for Army, Marines, and Air Force.

Looks as though Mr Brown passed in fall of 17.


In Lyric Philosophy, Jan Zwicky presents a way of thinking that challenges the model that currently prevails in academic philosophy. In this essay I deal primarily with one aspect of lyric thought: its relation to time. I examine whether beauty's relationship to time is like that of lyric thought, for Zwicky tells us that the "experience of beauty is the experience of some form (or other) of relief from time." She also describes lyric thought as being more spatial than temporal in structure. I question whether the style of timelessness of beauty is like the style of timelessness of lyric thought.
