Why Isn't the British Pound Weaker? Ask Trump
(Bloomberg Opinion) — The British pound has been on a losing streak in recent days as the likelihood increases the U.K. will leave the European Union without a trade agreement. Given the potential disastrous economic consequences of such a fractious departure, the question arises as to why traders haven't punished sterling even harder.
The answer probably lies in the fault lines that bedevil the pound's peers. But its resilience may not last.
The U.K. government said this week it's prepared to break international law "in a very specific and limited way," introducing legislation on Wednesday designed to dodge parts of the EU Withdrawal Agreement relating to trade with Northern Ireland. That's the kind of political shenanigans that can sink a currency. But while the pound has duly reversed some of its gains against the dollar after setting a high for the year at the start of this month, it remains higher than its 2019 average and well above the March low.
There are other, less politically charged, reasons why investors might shun sterling. For one thing, the U.K. economic fundamentals look worse than those of its peers. The record 20.4% contraction in gross domestic product in the second quarter was worse than any other major world economy, and about double the shrinkage suffered in the U.S. and German economies.
Moreover, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak is sticking with his timetable to phase out Britain's furlough scheme next month, in contrast with European neighbors such as Germany, Italy and France that have extended their programs to pay the bulk of wages for workers who might otherwise lose their jobs.
Currency speculation, though, is a two-way trade. And there are compelling deterrents for any hedge fund considering shorting sterling and going long of either dollars or euros.
The U.S. currency has been in a downward spiral for most of this year, after benefiting from haven flows in March as the global ramifications of the pandemic first became apparent. With the Federal Reserve perceived to have more firepower to ease monetary conditions than its fellow central banks, and the world awash in dollars, the greenback has been the closest thing to a one-way bet in the foreign exchange market for several months.
The prospect of legal challenges to the legitimacy of the November Presidential election — whatever the outcome — is also providing fodder for hesitation among investors who might otherwise favor a revival of fortunes for the U.S. currency. Its modest bounce in the past few days is attributable to comments last week from European Central Bank Chief Economist Philip Lane, who made a rare verbal intervention after the euro breached $1.20 for the first time in two years.
Now the common currency's gains are threatening to put the chances of the euro region meeting its inflation target even further out of reach, and the ECB is clearly nervous of further appreciation. There's a non-negligible risk that its president, Christine Lagarde, will continue trying to talk the euro lower on Thursday when she explains the outcome of this week's monetary policy meeting.
But there's another potential explanation for sterling's relative resilience, one with a very different endgame. Traders and investors may still be convinced that the U.K.'s current stance is all a bluff designed to wring as many concessions out of the EU as possible. No responsible politician, goes this argument, would seriously contemplate quitting the bloc without a trade deal to defend its economy against potentially ruinous consequences.
If the British government believes its own rhetoric that a no-deal departure is a great outcome for the nation, it may blindside sterling holders by carrying out its threat. In which case, the pound could be in for a nasty surprise before the year is out, setting the scene for a decline that would dwarf its recent losses as the economic and political repercussions of a full-strength hard Brexit start to sink in.
Sterling may yet turn out to be the weakest horse in the currency glue factory.

How much more of this do you think I can take?
This is funny because unfortunately it all-too-closely mimics life. Many of my clients report either having the feelings of jealousy or facing weird manifestations of jealousy from their spouse. Jealousy is a fear, and when we look at it from that perspective, we know that it is something that can be taken through the EFT process.
You may not be the one who is jealous. You may be the one who feels controlled. It doesn't matter. When one of the partners in a relationship poisoned by jealousy makes a shift, becomes calm and at peace within herself, it allows for the possibility of true communication.
If when the man makes an accusation, we can see it as his story, his drama, his fear, the response need not be anger and insult. But just as with sugar cravings, the time to tap is not when you are in the car headed for Krispy Kreme. The time to address your feelings and past memories is during your alone time or with a coach. Use EFT on any and all past times when your mate felt jealous, and choose to be "calm and confident no matter what." This may not be a simple process. Feelings of being distrusted and untrustworthy are often interwoven across many life relationships.
What I am seeing in my practice is that when just one of the partners starts using EFT and other emotional freedom approaches, a sense of clarity and peace starts to move in to replace some of the fear. I don't believe it is possible to truly forgive yourself or anyone else unless you have a sense of safety. Sometimes, that safety comes after we lose the fear of leaving the relationship and move out. Sometimes, the safety comes from seeing our partner in a new light which reopens our heart and brings us closer together.

[David Burroughs] wrote in to share this dial telephone museum exhibit he built and we're glad he did because we love interactive museum hacks. He mentions that it's not really tied to the theme of the Roads and Rails Museum in which it's installed. But when we think of railroad history we also think of telegraph. And that's just a hop, skip, and a jump from telephones.
The display allows museum goers to play with the rotary dial on the phone. The box next two it contains a 10-position relay increment switch. So each pulse from the dial increments the switch. There's a satisfying click, a moving arm, and different colored LEDs which highlight the inner workings. An Arduino board monitors the phone, displaying the dialed number on a seven segment display then incrementing the relay.
We figure the interesting part is to see that telephony used to use mechanical switching like this. But the video below includes a story about the kid who asked how you carried this phone around. This brings to mind the phrase "hang up the phone", which doesn't have the same literal meaning it used to.
[Niklas Roy] calls it his Perpetual Energy Wasting Machine, but we know it for what it truly is: a building-sized most useless machine. You'll remember that a most useless machine is a bobble that uses clever design to turn itself off once you have turned it on. This does the same thing with the elevator of the WRO Art Center in Wroclaw, Poland. The one difference is that it continually turns itself on and off.
He rigged up a pulley system that travels through the stairwell of the building. Whenever the elevator door on the top floor opens it causes the call button on the bottom floor to be pressed. The same thing happens when the elevator reaches the ground floor. But he didn't stop there. Since the device is just wasting electricity whenever the elevator moves without passengers in it, he added a meter to track the loss. It's the guts of a printing calculator strapped to the inside of the car. Every time the doors open it adds to the total.
You can see the installation in the video clip after the jump.
For those who are unfamiliar, "Freeze Frame" is the name of a common display in science museums. It is a small dark room with a single wall covered in phosphorescent material. Opposite of this wall is a flash on a timer. You enter the room, strike a pose and wait for the flash, then view your shadow preserved on the wall behind you.
[Bill] was saddened to see the display at his local science museum had been decommissioned long ago. All that was left was a dark room with a phosphorescent coated wall. Some industrious employees had rigged up some LED pens for people to "draw with light", but in [Bill's] opinion this wasn't as impressive. He promptly volunteered to rebuild the display himself and we commend him, both on the fantastic job he did as well as his service to his local community. Great job [Bill], keep up the good work.
[Bill Porter] continues finding ways to help out at the local museum. This time he's plying his skills to fix a twenty-year-old exhibit that has been broken for some time. It's a laser spirograph which had some parts way past their life expectancy.
He started by removing all of the electronics from the cabinet for further study in his lair. He examined the signal generator which when scoped seemed to be putting out some very nice sine waves as it should. From there he moved on to the galvos which tested way off of spec and turned out to be the offending elements.
A bit of searching around the interwebs and [Bill] figured out an upgrade plan for the older parts. But since he was at it, why not add some features at the same time? He rolled in a port so that just a bit of additional circuitry added later will allow shapes and logos to be drawn on the screen. One of his inspirations for this functionality came from another DIY laser projector project.
Take a look at the results of the repair process in the clip after the break.
A few common components come together to make this interactive museum exhibit that teaches about the sun (translated). It uses three main physical components to pull this off. The first is a custom projection surface. It's a hemisphere of the sun with a slice cut out of it. This is presumably coated with the paint you'd use to turn a wall into a projection surface. Software translates a projected image to map correctly on the topographic surface, resulting in what you see above, with a Kinect for user input.
Take a look at the video embedded after the break to see how the exhibit works. It instructs patrons to stand on a pair of footprint markers on the floor. This positions them at the proper range from a Kinect depth camera, which translates their outline into cursor commands. By moving a hand around they can explore the different parts of the sun.
We're in love with how easy this type of interaction is becoming. Granted, there's a fair amount of work that goes into to the coding for the project, but the physical build is quick and relatively inexpensive.


Students from Amenia, NY's Maplebrook School visited the farm last week, eager and engaged throughout the day's programs. Eighteen kids -- ages twelve to fifteen -- with a range of learning differences, came to the farm ready and engaged to participate in the day's programs. They journeyed together beneath the vines and umbrella leaves to look for squash and cucumbers. By the end of the day, they harvested fruits and vegetables including: kale, tomatoes, summer squash, basil, raspberries, and mint. The experience allowed the students to view their vegetables in a whole new way. One student, Bella, said: "I liked the way onions look when they are growing, I've never seen that before."
By the end of the day, when asked if they tried something new, most of the students raised their hands, which demonstrated the rich array of new experiences by a single group in a single day.
In NYC, classes in Long Island City are in full swing. Last week, students ventured into the art of creating quesadillas and guacamole. Young students learned about the range of ingredients guacamole and quesadillas have, all while learning the technical skills necessary to create the delicious foods. When it was time for them to start cooking, they were hard at work, using the knife skills and techniques they learned previously. The class was also a family affair as two twin sisters worked side by side, mincing ginger and garlic together for the meal. The class was engaged, and thrilled with the result, ready to add a new food to their repertoire of potential meals and snacks they can make with their families at home.
In the Bronx, our recently graduated Teen Apprentices Halima and Isatou also led a class of younger kids featuring guacamole and quesadillas. They both were natural leaders, calmly leading a class of younger kids. When the class was asked what a quesadilla is one student called it a "sandwich" which gave both the students and the teachers a new perspective on the delicious snack.
After preparing the ingredients, the students became engaged with what they were cooking. They instantly started making connections between what was happening in the classroom, to their experiences with food in everyday life.
Overall, it was a delicious week for our kids at the farm and across the boroughs!


SALT LAKE CITY — Francis Bernard's first practice in pads with the Utes went well. The junior linebacker, who transferred from BYU, is adjusting to his new surroundings.
Even so, Bernard's role on the team has yet to be determined.
Seniors Chase Hansen and Cody Barton topped the depth chart going into camp. Junior Donavan Thompson and redshirt freshman Devin Lloyd were listed as the backups.
Since camp started, junior college transfer Bryant Pirtle and Bernard joined the linebacker group.
"Really, it's about managing their reps right now and what's going to be productive for them versus what's going to be counterproductive," said defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley, who explained that the late arrivals are being coached up on the defense.
Whittingham said that Bernard's conditioning wasn't bad, although it's not where it needs to be. Bernard played several reps in a row and didn't get tired. Whittingham added that he looked very fluid and very athletic.
"He's in better shape than I projected he would be," Whittingham said.
EXTRA POINTS: The battle for No. 2 quarterback between Jack Tuttle and Jason Shelley is "shaping up," according to Whittingham. They should have an answer Monday, but Whittingham added that it will not be announced publicly. A depth chart, though, is expected to be released later in the week ... Wednesday's practice was the 13th of 25 before the Aug. 30 opener against Weber State ... Captains will be elected Friday night.

Q: Stacking datasets by creating new variables I have two datasets that need to be stacked on top of each-other. Think of them as two subsets of one data-set. The issue is that they have completely different variables other than the "record_id" and one more variable
ds_app <- data.frame(record_id, a, b, c, d, e, f)
ds_vo  <- data.frame(record_id, g, h, i, j, k, l , m, n, o, p, q)

Is there an easy way to stack these other than having to create dummy variables that don't exist in the other datasets; variables with assigned NA values.
Thanks so much!

With an aesthetic that playfully merges the art and fashion world, multi-media artist Quentin Jones has become a rising star with a repertoire that includes cut and paste collages, fashion film, illustration, stop motion animation, magazine covers and more. The artist, in collaboration with talented set designer Robert Storey, debuted her new and first major solo exhibition The Fractured and the Feline at London's Vinyl Factory.
Though the inspiration behind Jones' work spans from Robert Motherwell's abstract mark-making and Keith Haring's graffiti hearts to Dennis Hopper photography and Grace Jones' album artwork by Jean Paul Goude, Jones' thick, painterly ink illustrations are responsible for her signature element of surrealism and humor. In her notable body of work, she's covered herself in layers of paint, tongue-tied Miley Cyrus in a fashion short film and has done ad campaigns for brands like Kenzo and Louis Vuitton.
Jones enlisted Robert Storey, who is known for combining the art of sculpture and architecture in his set designs, to build the space for her exhibition. "The film rooms we are building will play animations that will reflect around the room on mirrors so the viewer really walks into the film, with the sound that Peter Duffy has edited together for me echoing around them in 3D space," explained Jones in an interview with Dazed Digital.
We're pretty excited for this one. For those in London, The Fractured and the Feline: Quentin Jones with Robert Storey will be on display at The Vinyl Factory until December 13th.

West Nile outbreak could be worst in U.S. history
By Mike Baldyga
American College of Emergency Physicians
Special to The SUN
With the West Nile Virus outbreak set to be the worst in U.S. history, the nation's emergency physicians urge the public to take precautions now to protect from being infected.
"Right now, the CDC is seeing cases in practically every state in the country," said Dr. David Seaberg, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. "This is a problem that affects everyone, everywhere.  But simple steps can stand in the way of a person being infected with West Nile."
West Nile Virus, a disease spread by mosquitos, causes only mild, flu-like symptoms in 20 percent of cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Most people (about four out of five) who are infected show no symptoms at all. But, in rare cases, some will develop severe symptoms that can include high fever, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, vision loss, along with several others. It can cause permanent neurological damage and even death.
So far in 2012, 47 states have reported more than 1,100 West Nile cases, including 41 deaths, according to the CDC, with 75 percent of the cases reported in Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Dakota and Oklahoma.
The easiest and most effective way to avoid West Nile is to prevent mosquito bites.
• When you are outside, use insect repellent that contains an EPA-registered active ingredient, such as DEET. Never use DEET on infants under 2 months old. Young children should not apply DEET on themselves, and do not apply to their hand, eye or mouth areas or on any wounds. Use caution and use lower concentrations of DEET (such as 10 percent) especially on young children.
• Mosquitos are most active when it is darker such as during dawn or dusk. Wear long sleeves and pants during that time or consider staying indoors during those hours.
• Put screens on any windows or sliding doors to keep mosquitos out.
• Get rid of standing water near your house or in your lawn, such as puddles, flower pots, buckets, barrels and child wading pools when they're not in use. These are mosquito breeding sites. Keep fountain waters flowing if possible and maintain clean gutters around your property.
• Don't handle dead birds. Mosquitos become infected when they feed on infected birds. Contact your local health department for instructions on reporting and disposing of the body.
"Always take precautions and go to your doctor or the nearest emergency department to get checked out if you feel you have some of the symptoms associated with West Nile," said Seaberg. "It's always better to be cautious."
ACEP is the national medical specialty society representing emergency medicine. ACEP is committed to advancing emergency care through continuing education, research and public education. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, ACEP has 53 chapters representing each state, as well as Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. A Government Services Chapter represents emergency physicians employed by military branches and other government agencies.

Posted on October 24, 2017 September 9, 2018 by theartist — 1 Comment
I can never forget the sensation of being at a newsstand and seeing for the first time my photograph transformed into the Rolling Stone cover.
Anne Leibovitz is renowned for her quirky and dramatic iconic portraits of a great variety of celebrities. She has created some of the most controversial and popular images of the last 40 years. Iconic figures spanning creative, celebrity and intellectual circles have sought to work with Leibovitz in admiration of her interpretative perspective.
Possessing an ability to celebrate and critique mainstream culture in equal measure, her signature style is crisp and well lighted. She is influenced by the documentary tradition, but also comfortable with theatrical staging. The blending of fine art and pop contexts lends her work a unique cultural cachet.
Anna-Lou Leibovitz was born on October, 2, in 1949, in Connecticut and grew up in an idyllic, middle-class family. Her parents were of Jewish and Eastern Europe descent; the mother, Marilyn, was a modern dance instructor who instilled in little Anne a passion for art, music and dancing, and the father Sam had a military career, as a lieutenant colonel in the US Air Force.
The Leibovitz moved around frequently and her family credits her success as a photographer to growing up seeing the world through a car window.
In 1967, Annie Leibovitz attended the San Francisco Art Institute, began studying painting with the main intention to become an art teacher. Meanwhile, in her second semester she took a photography workshop, and became engrossed in medium.
The photography workshop was based on the ideas of famous modern photographers, especially Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank. Both photographers were known for their documentary style, their engagement with quotidian and famous subjects, and both of them were influential for Liebovitz.
In 1970, while still in school Annie showed Jann Wenner, the creator of Rolling Stone magazine, her photograph of a poet Allen Ginsberg smoking pot at an anti-Vietnam march. She was immediately hired to be a contributing photographer and her image was used as the cover for the magazine.
At the time, Rolling Stone was a new, experimental, magazine focused on the counterculture that emerged from the bohemian thinking of the late 1950s and rock music.
Three years later, Leibovitz had become the chief photographer for the Rolling Stone (by the time she was 23 years old) and had been given absolute artistic freedom to experiment with her work. She directed her energies toward a unique presentation of the major personalities of contemporary rock music.
She made some of the publication's most iconic images, including the most influential musicians of the 20th century.
After having building her reputation as a skillful rock'n'roll photographer, in 1975 she documented the Rolling Stones' six-month North American concert tour during which she shot several widely reproduced photographs of lead singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards.
Mick Jagger (Buffalo, NY, 1975), captures one of these moments and has become an emblematic image from the historic tour.
The black and white photo depicts Jagger standing in an elevator wearing a white robe and turbaned towel on his head. The image was taken immediately after one of his last performances; Mick stares directly at the camera, reflecting exhaustion that comes with performing and partying every night.
This piece along with others from this very tour has come to show how Annie approached her subjects, early in her career. She would spend days, weeks, or even a year with her subject in order to get familiar and revealing shots.
She was so successful at integrating herself into new environments that subject eventually became comfortable with her presence, even forgetting she was there. The result of these immersive interactions led to drug abuse problems; she became addicted to cocaine.
Capturing Moments
Annie enjoyed the collaborative and social environment by the magazine; it was a mix of personalities that led to some original work. She particularly enjoyed working with the legendary journalist and creator of gonzo journalism, Hunter S.
Thompson, whose erratic and fast paced lifestyle became legendary as his writing. The two shared a kindred spirit and affinity for hard partying.
Working on assignment for Rolling Stone with Hunter S. Thompson, Leibovitz captured the moment when president Nixon left the White House for the last time.
The expressive photos (Untitled; Guards rolling up carpet after Nixon, 1974) captured an extraordinary documented event in American history in a novel way. Leibovitz herself attributed this to her ability to capture moments either before or after' the moment' .It was the moment after the helicopter carrying Nixon had taken off, and the three men are packing up the last vestiges of ceremony, the carpet where Nixon would appear as president for the last time.
It is both mundane and theatrical; the guards could be stagehands or porters, but the presence of the carpet and the White House setting evokes the pageantry of the State.
Her work for this very magazine introduced her to some of the most famous creative figures of the time. Perhaps her most famous work from this period is a portrait of John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono (Yoko Ono; John Lennon, 1980).
She depicts the couple in an intimate embrace with a naked Lennon curled around fully clothed Ono. Annie requested them to be pose nude together; Ono refused to remove her clothes, but Lennon did not.
The clash between clothed woman and naked man subverts the conventional art historical canon which often exalts the nude female form. The image was taken a few hours before Lennon was shot outside his Upper West Side apartment by crazed fan Mark David Chapman.
It was first published on the cover of Rolling Stone in 1981, and would become iconic for its timing and the manner in which it immortalized the couple's devotion to each other.
The year 1983; it was a huge risk for the famous rock photographer to move to a glossy mainstream magazine, Vanity Fair. During her 13 years tenure at the Rolling Stone her work interfered with her extensive drug use; she had overdosed twice and was rumoured to have hawked her photograph equipment to pay for cocaine.
After some time in rehabilitation, clear and good, Annie was ready to start a new chapter in her career. The timing was right; Annie became the first magazine's chief photographer. Vanity Fair envisioned Leibovitz as a continuation of grand tradition of portraiture and also gave her full artistic freedom.
Unlike Rolling Stone, budgets at Vanity Fair were not a problem, and Leibovitz could be more experimental. Her portraiture work transitioned from simple black and white images to extravagant, rich colour staged production full of drama.
In 1987, Annie Leibovitz captured the Pop and graffiti artist Keith Haring naked and squatting on top of a coffee table with a surprised expression of his face; his entire body was painted, camouflaging him against the mural he painted (on the Salvation Army furniture and walls of the room).
Haring's boldness and oneness with his work are made literal. The image also marks the beginning of Leibovitz's transition to the more concept –driven and staged photography that would come to define her work; it was the beginning of the conceptual photography.
In 1989, Annie met Susan Sontag, a critic, writer and political activist, and the two developed a long lasting intimate relationship. They were partners in every sense. The intellectual writer was 16 years older than pop culture photographer, but the two complement each other's strengths; Susan Sontag, a celebrated critic of media and photography, introduced new dimension to Leibovitz's work, while Leibovitz introduced Sontag to the world of celebrity.
Annie admired Sontag despite the fact that she was interested in her work, but criticized it. Sontag could be tough on her at times, but Leibovitz attributes Sontag with helping her discover and seriousness and intellect in her photographs.
When actress Demi Moore was featured on the cover of Vanity Fair, in 1991, Leibovitz's staged portraiture earned a reputation as being intentionally provocative. Wearing only a 33-carat diamond earrings and a ring, the seven months pregnant star stands in profile, one hand covers her breasts while the other tenderly cups her pregnant belly; the star proudly displays her naked body.
The cover image was seen as an unprecedented provocation from a mainstream publication the Culture Wars. When the issue was released, the backlash and controversy was immediate; the celebrity on a cover of a magazine, completely naked was considered obscene and grotesque.
The photograph started a nation-wide discussion on propriety, femininity, and what it meant to be a good mother. Critics deeming Moore unfit for motherhood for posing nude, while advocates celebrated her celebration of the natural state of pregnancy.
As a result of its controversy, the image has become one of the most iconic ones of the past two decades and was named as one of the most iconic images of all time by Time Magazine.
However, in the same year, Leibovitz had her first museum exhibition and became the first woman and second living photographer to show at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C. A companion book Photographs: Annie Liebovitz 1970-1990 was published in 1991.
In 1992-1994, Annie traveled with Susan Sontag to Sarajevo to document Bosnia's bloody war. The image "Fallen bicycle of teenage boy just killed by a sniper, 1994", depicts the aftermath of the death of an innocent boy trapped in the midst of the conflict.
The picture of the bicycle and the blood was taken just after the boy on the bike had been hit by mortar that came down in front of the Leibovitz's car. They put him in the car, but the boy died on the way to the hospital.
Annie documented the boy's traumatic final moments; his absence is an unsettling reminder of the fragility of life.
The early 2000s brought transformative shifts for Leibovitz. In 2001, at the age of 51, she gave birth to her first daughter, Sarah. During this time, Susan Sontag had been battling acute leukemia off and on, but in 2004, she learned that it had returned.
The same year Sontag succumbed to her illness a few days after Christmas. In addition, Annie's father passed away from lung cancer a few weeks after Susan Sontag. Three years later, Leibovitz's mother died, too.
Leibovitz was notoriously bad at managing money and her poor financial decisions culminated during the period of her mother's death; she found herself $24 million dollars in debt. In order to pay the debt, she secured a large loan, using the right to her images as collateral.
When she was unable to pay back the loan, she was sued, and her work was jeopardized. After a legal battle, in which she filed for bankruptcy and sold numerous artworks and properties, eventually, she was able to pay the debt and regain the rights to her work.
Despite these difficulties, this period was also full of incredible highs for Leibovitz.
In 2000, she was deemed a Living Legend by the Library on Congress and awarded The Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship. In 2009, Leibovitz began working on a personal project, photographing objects and places that were meaningful to her; the image were collected in the book named Pilgrimage, published in 2011.
In 2005, with the help of a surrogate, she was welcomed twin girls, whom she named Sam and Susan in honour of her father and her lover.
In 1995, Vanity Fair started the tradition of devoting its March issue to celebrating the stars deemed to have made an impact in film the previous year; Annie has photographed each issue. The grouping changes annually but Annie's composition are strikingly similar; the cover images speak to glamour and elegance, but also the interchangeability and ephemerality of the industry and the careers of the subjects.
The relevance of the work of art is often not about what is reveals or exposes about the subject, but what it reveals about the cultural moment in which it was created.
Over the past four decades of her career, Annie Leibovitz has become one of the world's best known portrait photographer, now rivaling the legacies of forebears like David Bailey and Richard Avedon.
A master of capturing popular culture icons in dramatic and innovative ways, Annie has become just as famous as the people she photographs.

She enjoyed sewing, quilting, crafting, cooking, traveling, flower gardening and arranging. She played in several bridge clubs every month and golfed in a women's league until her mid-eighties. She worked the newspaper crossword puzzle every day and was an avid reader.
She and Jack enjoyed dancing in Mr. and Mrs. Dance Club, playing couples bridge, traveling extensively, happy hours with friends, bird watching, and working in their yard. She took each grandchild on a special trip when they turned 12. Some of those trips were to Europe, spelunking in Kentucky, boating in Mackinaw Island, shopping in Chicago, and Put-in Bay, Ohio to share her heritage. She was blessed to live in the same town as three of her grandsons and was so proud to be able to attend their sporting and school activities. She loved having family and friends for her Fourth of July barbeque and watch the Morton fireworks from her yard. Christmas Eve was a fun gathering at her house with family, food, gifts, and always church to follow.
She loved spending time with her family and friends. She was quite the ambassador at Prairie Village and the Villas of Holly Brook, meeting potential and new residents and making them feel welcome.
Jeanne will be remembered for her young at heart attitude, friendliness, creativity, love and care for her former students, love for her family, faith in God and her church, and undying devotion to Jack.
Cremation rites will be accorded. A Celebration of Life service will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, June 4, 2021, at Morton United Methodist Church in Morton, with Pastor Gabe Wanck officiating.

Sogavare Criticizes Government on RAMSI
Wednesday, 01 October 2008 08:44 AM
The Parliamentary Opposition leader, Hon. Manasseh Sogavare has criticized the Prime Minister, Derek Sikua's recent statement on the CNURA Government's future partnership plans with the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI).
According to Hon. Sogavare, the statement delivered by the Solomon Islands Prime Minister to the United Nations General Assembly was premature and a blatant disregard of Parliament directives.
Mr Sogavare says it was unreasonable for the Prime Minister to make such statement to the General Assembly while the review of the partnership is still in progress in the country.
The Opposition Leader says the statement by Dr. Sikua undermines the Parliament's authority in setting up the Foreign Relations Committee to review the status of RAMSI as provided for under the Facilitation Act.
He says it was never the intention of the Pacific Islands Forum to make RAMSI another aid agency in Solomon Islands.
He continued to say that Solomon Islanders should decide whether RAMSI's continued presence in the country should be formally recognized as an aid agency
According to Hon. Sogavare, RAMSI's role should effectively end at the completion of the restoration stage.
Mr Sogavare says it would be unnecessary to allow the mission to continue to operate with unfettered powers within the legal framework.

Astron GPS Solar. Performance, precision and Novak Djokovic.
Baselworld Press Release
The new Astron Big-Date caliber. SSE149
Chronograph, Dual-Time, World-Time and now Big-Date. The range of Astron GPS Solar calibers continues to grow in line with the ever-widening demand for this most intelligent and useful of watch technologies. The new 8X42 brings to four the number of active GPS Solar calibers in the Astron range and adds a new note of relaxed elegance to the Astron design. This new series will be released in September 2017.
The Astron dress watch has arrived.
Like all Astron GPS Solar calibers, 8X42 offers the remarkable ability to adjust to local time, anywhere in the world, at the touch of a button and using just the power of light. With the addition of the big date window, the inclusion of a dual-time dial at the six o'clock position and new, slimmer hands, the new designs have a refinement that makes them as perfect for an evening out as they are for international travel. With several versions featuring roman numerals for the first time in any Astron design and with more components having mirror-finished surfaces, the Astron dress watch has truly arrived.
If there are changes in the region / time zone, manual time zone selection may be required.
The 8X42 core collection comprises four models in stainless steel and three in titanium, but all offer a remarkable level of scratch resistance thanks to their ceramic bezels, sapphire crystals and the super-hard coatings that they all share. Indeed a new coating technology allows even the rose gold tone designs to be highly resistant to scratches, ensuring that the luxury look of every Astron 8X42 watch lasts as long as possible.
The Novak Djokovic Limited Edition
The Novak Djokovic Limited Edition. SSE143
The 8X42 collection is completed by a very special limited edition made in honor of one of the great sporting achievements of our time. By winning the 2016 French Open, Seiko's partner Novak Djokovic joined the small and very select group of players to have won a Career Grand Slam in tennis. In fact, Novak held all four titles at once, an even rarer feat. We are delighted to use the new caliber as the base for a design that celebrates Novak's remarkable achievement.
Novak recently renewed his trust in Seiko for another four years.
The design is sleek and sophisticated and has a sports feel that reflects Novak's passion for tennis. The names of the four tournaments' host cities, London, Melbourne, New York and Paris, are picked out in yellow on the bezel, the stripe pattern on the dial offers a discreet echo of the way a grass court is mown and the tennis scores of 'Love, 15, 30 and 40' surround the dual-time sub-dial in a discreet and witty design accent. The watch is as durable as it is smart. The bezel is made of zirconia ceramic and the silicone strap is strong and supple; whether Novak is travelling, training or resting, his new Astron will be there, keeping him on time with a precision of one second every one hundred thousand years. The case back proudly bears Novak's signature and individual serial number.

T cell targets

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC)

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc.
BOSTON—A three-year research collaboration between global pharmaceutical company Sanofi and Brigham and Women's Hospital, a teaching and research affiliate of Harvard Medical School, will focus on the immunology of type 1 diabetes in an attempt to analyze and develop new drug targets.
"Because diabetes is a major focus of our company, we are always seeking opportunities to develop new medicines for both type I and type 2 varieties of the disease," explains Dr. Srideran Natesan, scientific site head of research and development at Sanofi in Cambridge, Mass., and head of external innovation and partnering for the U.S. northeast region. "Now that we have become a significant presence in the Cambridge area, we are looking for ways to collaborate with top researchers and invite them to make presentations to our diabetes management team."
Sanofi was impressed with the work of Dr. Vijay Kuchroo, a veterinarian and pathologist who serves as professor of neurology at the Harvard Medical School and Wasserstrom professor of neurology and associate immunologist at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, according to Natesan.
"Vijay is a key leader in immunology in type 1 diabetes and has validated several targets in his laboratory," Natesan says. "Eventually, through this collaboration, we will look for new targets and develop them."
Kuchroo's laboratory has made several transgenic mice that serve as animal models for human disease. The major focus of research in the laboratory is to study the autoimmune T cell response, role of costimulatory molecules and their receptors in the induction and differentiation of T cells and identification of cell surface molecules differentially expressed on T cell subsets. Kuchroo's research interests are studying the autoimmune diseases, particularly the role of costimulation, the genetic basis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis or experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, an animal model of brain inflammation and type 1 diabetes and cell surface molecules and regulatory factors that contribute to susceptibility and resistance to autoimmune diseases.
"Brigham and Women's Hospital is excited to engage in this important research collaboration," said Dr. Barbara Bierer, the hospital's senior vice president of research, in a press release. "This strategic collaboration brings further recognition to the outstanding research of Dr. Kuchroo and his colleagues, including Drs. Terry Strom and Maria Koulmanda from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and the importance of the translation of fundamental discoveries into routine clinical practice."
According to the terms of the collaboration, Sanofi and Brigham and Women's Hospital will share knowledge and apply their respective expertise in basic and applied research regarding diabetes and drug target and candidate development. Researchers from both organizations will undertake proof-of-concept, safety and functional studies for a novel immunomodulatory approach to treat type 1 diabetes, and Sanofi will have an option to exclusively license intellectual property emerging from the collaboration. There will be "milestones on one or two targets" and then "a decision on whether to expand the program," Natesan says.
Internationally acclaimed for its patient care, biomedical research and healthcare professional teaching capabilities, Brigham and Women's Hospital is a 793-bed teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. With roots dating back to 1832, the hospital formed in 1980 with the merger of three Harvard teaching hospitals.
Sanofi, which discovers, develops and distributes therapeutic solutions, has established a number of partnerships to offer diagnostics, therapies, services and devices for the prevention and cure of diabetes. After two years of discussions with leaders in universities and research institutions, Sanofi has made plans to ally with other researchers to enhance its own offerings of insulin products. The global and diversified healthcare company recently announced a collaboration with the Joslin Diabetes Center, a clinical, teaching and research affiliate of Harvard Medical School that has 47 affiliated clinics in the United States.
Natesan believes that diabetes is moving toward more personalized medicine and hopes the collaboration between Sanofi and Brigham and Women's Hospital will bring about "a comprehensive strategy to address immunomodulation, which we believe to have a lot of value."
Sanofi and Regeneron launch Phase III cholesterol trial
PARIS—Sanofi also announced last month, along with partner Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc., that several trials within ODYSSEY, the Phase III clinical program of SAR236553/REGN727, have initiated patient enrollment.
SAR236553/REGN727 is a potential first-in-class, subcutaneously administered, fully human antibody that lowers low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by targeting proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), an enzyme which binds LDL receptors, leading to their accelerated degradation and increased LDL-cholesterol levels.
ODYSSEY, a global program to evaluate SAR236553/REGN727, will consist of more than 10 clinical trials and will include more than 22,000 patients. The studies will be conducted in clinical centers around the world, including the United States, Canada, Western and Eastern Europe, South America, Australia and Asia.
SAR236553/REGN727 is administered as a single injection every two weeks in multiple treatment strategies and patient types, such as those who are at elevated cardiovascular risk, are unable to tolerate statin therapy or have familial hypercholesterolemia.

Q: Trying to do an OR test with JSTL inside my jsp template i have the following code from my JSP which doesn't quite work:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" prefix="fn" %>

<c:set var="contextPath" value="${pageContext.request.contextPath}" />
<c:set var="requestURI" value="${pageContext.request.requestURI}" />
<c:set var="isPeople" value="${fn:contains(requestURI, '/People/')}" />
<c:set var="isJobs"   value="${fn:contains(requestURI, '/Jobs/') || fn:endsWith(requestURI,contextPath+'/')}" />

Basically, isPeople is working fine - it checks to see if the user is on any of my pages that have '/People/' in the url, and uses that later on down to show the appropriate submenu.
Now i wand the isJobs to be true if they are at either '/Jobs/*' or the application root, but my simple || doesn't compile, it gives me this error:
An exception occurred processing JSP page /sitemesh/main.jsp at line 7

Please help, thanks!

A: Indeed, string concatenation doesn't work that way in EL.
The following should work:
<c:set var="contextPath" value="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/" />
<c:set var="requestURI" value="${pageContext.request.requestURI}" />
<c:set var="isPeople" value="${fn:contains(requestURI, '/People/')}" />
<c:set var="isJobs"   value="${fn:contains(requestURI, '/Jobs/') || fn:endsWith(requestURI, contextPath)}" />

Note that I moved the trailing slash from the fn:endsWith to the <c:set value>.


Building secure, efficient, and converged financial networks.
The data volume and switching requirements of banks are increasing. However, traditional network architectures, with their primitive fault location measures and unreliable DR mechanisms, are slowing down the development of banking services.
Huawei's Financial Agile Network Solution is an intelligent solution based on a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) framework. This solution has two architectural innovations: quality awareness and smooth evolution. It allows networks to provide financial services quickly and flexibly. This agile network solution adapts a flattened network architecture that integrates production and office networks to efficiently transmit large amounts of data. It helps customers construct smart financial networks that are physically converged but logically isolated.
Traditional network architectures face challenges such as "tree-structured" networks suffering from low data transmission efficiency and new services introducing more access terminals to financial networks. Other challenges are Big Data applications requiring larger network bandwidths and more efficient data transmission between production and office networks, and the application of cloud computing technologies requiring ICT infrastructure sharing and cross-data center VM migration.
The integration of multiple physical networks reduces the TCO of the network by 50 percent.
United security collaboration uses Big Data Analytics to improve network security.
Flattened network architecture and high-speed cores improve efficiency and facilitate process-based banking.

The project is investigating the broader implications of the lived experiences of apartment residents and owners for the social sustainability of cities. The project aims to raise awareness of the unique challenges of apartment ownership and apartment living and provide proposals to support better outcomes for apartment residents and for the broader community. The research will provide information that will help us to understand how the needs of different people living together in strata schemes can best be accommodated and what can be done to make strata properties attractive places to live for everyone. It will open new opportunities for inter-disciplinary and international collaboration and provide evidence to inform planning and urban development policy nationally and internationally.
Why is it that some strata schemes seem to run really well – they are well managed and the people who live them are content – while others are not run so well and the people who live there are less happy?
Does this have anything to do with the mix of people who live in a scheme and the relative control different people have over how the scheme is run?
What can we learn from those strata schemes that are actively tackling specific management issues? Can we use this information to provide tools and resources to assist people who live in and manage schemes to make their schemes better places to live?
