the Rubin Art Museum in New York announced that he would return two relics from his collection to Nepal after they were found smuggled from two religious sites in the Kathmandu Valley.
A memorandum of understanding was signed on Monday by Bishnu Prasad Gautam, acting Nepalese consul general in New York, and Jorrit Britschgi, executive director of the Rubin Museum.
"The Rubin Museum agreed to return the sculptures after identifying them and providing the required proof of their origins," Gautam told Kantipur, the Post's sister newspaper.
"Lost Arts of Nepal", a group working to identify and locate lost Nepal artefacts scattered around the world, in September said he had located the two relics – a Flying Gandharva from the 14th century and another the upper part of a Torana from the 17th century–at the Rubin Art Museum.
Nepalese heritage recovery campaign had then written to the museum for the return of the objects. The Department of Archeology then provided information to determine the ownership and origin of the works of art.
The museum said in a statement that these two relics were the first items in its collection to have been obtained illegally, the The New York Times reported.
According to museum officials, the Torana was lost from the main gate of Yampi Mahavihara / I-Bahi, Patan, Lalitpur. According to museum officials, the artwork arrived at the museum in 2010. The flying Apsara artwork is from Keshchandra Mahavihara, Itum Bahal, Kathmandu, which was lost in 1999 and added to the museum's collection. in 2003.
According to a statement released by the Nepalese Consulate General in New York, Britschgi, upon signing the MoU, said: "As custodians of the art of our collection, the Rubin recognizes that we have an ongoing duty to carefully research the art and objects we collect and let's exhibit. "
"The theft of archaeological objects continues to be a major concern in the art world. Rubin's collection activities adhere to the highest standards of ethical and professional practice related to provenance, "said Britschgi. "We believe it is our responsibility to address and resolve cultural property issues, including helping to facilitate the return of the two objects in question."
Gautam, for his part, expressed his gratitude to the Rubin Museum.
"Rubin's proactive and warm response and thoughtful collaboration have positively contributed to Nepal's national efforts to recover and restore lost artifacts," Gautam said. "I expressed my deep gratitude to the Rubin Museum, its Executive Director, Board of Trustees, academics and museum officials for their initiative and cooperation in returning these artefacts to Nepal."
Gautam also appreciated the support received from the media, civil society and others in the business, the statement said.
The Nepalese Consulate General in New York and the Rubin Museum have expressed their willingness to work closely together to promote art and culture, including Himalayan art, saying these collaborative efforts contribute to the preservation cultural heritage and further strengthen the long-standing people. -the relations between Nepal and the United States of America.
"The Consulate General continues to work on the country's national efforts in repatriating lost cultural property," the statement read.
In December, government officials returned a sculpture depicting the Hindu goddess Lakshmi-Narayan on the pedestal of her temple in Patan after the Dallas Museum of Art returned it.
Gautam called the signing of the agreement a new step in the recovery of lost artifacts.
"The Rubin Museum of Art has agreed to cover the cost of transporting the relics to Nepal," Gautam said. "These two relics have already been removed from the exhibits. "
According to Gautam, the two relics are expected to arrive in Nepal during the third week of May.

The Yass Railway Museum and its team of volunteers are dedicated to telling the story of the small, rugged steam locomotives that were able, and did, for many years, connect Yass Township to the Main South Line.
The bustling town of Yass was frustrated to discover in the 1870s that the railway line to be built between Sydney and Melbourne would bypass the city for five kilometers. Railways were the lifeblood of the community for passengers and the movement of goods to and from market when the roads were so often impassable and slow.
The answer was Yass Town station and a connecting streetcar that opened on Wednesday April 20, 1892.
The busy Yass Town station was manned around the clock to ensure all South Line trains were serviced by the 1301-class steam engine carrying its passenger and freight cars.
District products such as wool, wheat and fruit from the orchards could now reach the market quickly and in good condition.
We compile the most read region stories from the past week and send them straight to your inbox every Thursday afternoon. Membership is the easiest way to keep up with the times, just one click away.
In return, much-needed supplies, equipment and goods arrived reliably to supply bustling Cooma Street businesses and district farms.
Travelers could avoid the tedious horse-drawn carriage ride to Yass Junction on the main line by simply getting on the streetcar car right in the city center.

The Yass Railway Museum offers a comprehensive experience of when rail was king.
Volunteer Bob Frank is happy to share his encyclopedic knowledge of Yass Town station buildings, hangars, freight cars and sidings, shunting engine, guard vans, unusual platform at ground level with classic cast iron moldings around the porch posts and wooden railings so the ladies didn't have to show their ankles to get on the train.
READ ALSO: Yass River is historic road less traveled
There is a beautifully restored 1307 crane and steam engine that all look perfectly at home. The so-called "tap dance" line maintenance trikes are now inactive.
In front of the platform there are four pairs of tracks with dots. It takes little imagination to see how the steam engine and cars maneuvered on these lines to allow trains to enter and exit the station on their busy schedules.
Unfortunately, the line was closed to passengers in 1959 and to freight in 1988. Residents of Dutton Street no longer had to put up with the noise and vibrations of trains steadily ascending and descending in the very center of their street, but lines are still there.
The same goes for the beautiful iron railway bridge at the end of Dutton Street spanning the Yass River.
The wooden approaches are not safe and the whole is closed to the public but the spectacle is impressive.
The line is still visible as you exit town and head towards Yass Junction – heavily overgrown but still there. At Yass Junction, the siding where this little play train stopped for passengers is still apparent.

The volunteers of the museum, open every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., love to tell about the good years of the station.
There are tales of milk cans and groceries being delivered to the freight shed and you can see the truck height platform where local businesses collected their freight until 1988.
The fifth line, which has now been retired, was once the siding where the dental rail van was parked for a week to provide dental service in town before the 1950s or a traveling exhibit in a specially decorated car was parked.
Huge transformers arrived by train to be trucked to the Electricity Commission plant just outside of town.
A line ran past the station and across to Crago's Mill, still standing next to Aldi – grain came in and flour came out.
Later during the Depression of the 1930s, an ice and rabbit freezer factory established in the old mill loaded rabbit carcasses into ice-cooled vans bound for the Sydney market.
Parked next to the wool bale loading lane is the special van dedicated to transporting Arnott's biscuits around NSW and the gasoline tanker that distributed fuel to local service stations.
For young and old alike, a set of model trains lovingly constructed by local John Harmer and donated to the museum are housed in the Old Fuel Room where the platform and signal lights were once filled.
Volunteer Ron Barton laughed, saying, "I've seen kids not wanting to get off the train being dragged along by embarrassed parents."

Santa Fe, New Mexico, January 7, 2022 – The National Emerging Museum Professionals Network (NEMPN), a leading nonprofit organization, has launched its first-ever awards program to "recognize individuals and institutions who have made a exceptional service to emerging museum professionals. "For the Inaugural EMP Awards, the Department of Museum Studies at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) received the award for Best Museum Studies Program. For this category, three diploma / certificate programs Museum studies in the country were recognized for the diversity and inclusiveness of their programs as well as for the quality education and training they provide to new museum professionals. The other two were the graduate program of Cooperstown and the University of Washington Master of Arts in Museology program.
Balzer Contemporary Edge Gallery Director Mattie Reynolds (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma) says national recognition of the award exponentially expands professional networks in museums. "We will not only have more people and organizations exposed to IAIA, but it will also expose our students to NEMPN," Reynolds said. "We are one of the oldest museum study programs in a school in the country. So it's a very well established program. as a competitive program for Indigenous and non-Indigenous museum professionals. Currently, New Mexico is starting its own chapter affiliated with NEMPN through the New Mexico Museum Association (NMAM), according to Reynolds. It will be an extraordinary resource for current students and recent graduates of museum studies programs in New Mexico, and it illustrates the exponential growth of the network Reynolds is talking about.
What sets the IAIA Museum Studies program apart as one of the best programs in the country is its Indigenous approach to learning along with its hands-on and hands-on methods that easily prepare new museum professionals for work. in the field as soon as you exit the program. "Our program focuses on Indigenous ways of knowing and practicing, as well as ethical and moral approaches to museum work," says Reynolds. "It makes us really unique. We teach our students the traditional western way of doing things in the museum, then we tell them to unlearn it all and we teach them a more indigenous approach to museum work. This comprehensive and inclusive methodology gives an advantage to emerging museum professionals, whether they are new to the museum field or looking to broaden their knowledge in the field.
While students in the IAIA Museum Studies program receive their share of theory, the practical applications of the program exceed those of other programs. "We're very logically structured to support museum professionals from the start," says Reynolds. "Working in the gallery, for example, is one of the compulsory courses. Students gain extensive experience in setting up and uninstallation of exhibits. We also offer courses in the maintenance and conservation of collections. This practical and applicable approach to learning museology is quite unique. "
This rewards program is part of the rebranding of NEMPN they underwent earlier this year. As part of their rebranding, they officially changed their title to an acronym, and as that act reminded them of IHOP, the Inaugural EMP Awards trophy will be an engraved maple syrup bottle. "I'm thinking of having a pancake feast so we can use our maple syrup prize," Reynolds says. The announcement of the Inaugural EMP Awards can be viewed on the NEMPN website.

PORT SANILAC – The Sanilac County Historical Society needs the public's assistance in moving the Bark Shanty / Aitkin House from its current location to the Sanilac County Historic Village and Museum.
Owner Julie Fagan said she and her husband would like to preserve the history of the house rather than tearing it down. Built in 1853 at what is now 71 South Lake Street, next to Bark Shanty Marina, this is one of the first homes ever built in Port Sanilac and one of the oldest still standing.
"Tearing it down would be the easy way out," Fagan said. "We love the house. We love the history of the house… It has a ton of history and we want to do everything we can to preserve it."
"It's worth it," added Dawn Malek, administrator of the Sanilac County Historical Society.
The Sanilac County Historical Society is currently running a fundraising campaign to help raise the funds needed to move the house to the museum grounds. The company's board of directors has pledged $ 25,000 of the $ 100,000 needed to move the house.
The company is going to the public for the remaining $ 75,000. The company is currently asking for pledges, or pledges to donate a certain amount of money, to help gauge public interest in the project, as the historical society is currently committed financially to two other projects.
If the company can increase the cost of the project in pledges by February 1, the project will go ahead. Otherwise, the project will not go ahead, the company said. Fagan said they had not yet decided what to do with the house if there weren't enough pledges.
To get involved, visit fs12.formsite.com/gxZYoN/9hcpcgxcai/index.html. As of Friday morning, the company had raised $ 33,725 in pledges, including a $ 12,000 pledge from Fagan and her husband, Dan Fagan.
"It looks like the community is growing; it's important to them," Malek said. "The Historical Society, our mission is to preserve and promote the history in Sanilac County. So hello, it's right here."
If the project goes ahead, the house will be used as an Airbnb style rental. The rental income will be used for the upkeep of the house, the upkeep of one of the other 16 museum buildings and as additional income. This would be of great benefit to the museum and to society since the historical society does not receive any government support for its annual budget, Malek said.
The three bedroom, one bath home could be used for family vacations, weekend getaways, weddings, or even business meetings.
The main features of the house include a beautiful large wraparound porch, fireplace, interior columns and what are believed to be original windows. Fagan said the old house also exhibited a few "quirks," such as a few crooked door frames.
Malek said his favorite feature of the house was the wrap-around porch.
"I'm envisioning bridal showers, baby showers on that porch," Malek said. "I do so much live music at the museum. I think of concerts."
Fagan said the couple bought the house several years ago as a personal or investment home. They have used it for personal use, vacation rentals, and even a few wedding rentals.
However, they discovered that the house did not lend itself to year round living, either on their own or as a long term rental. They considered several options before deciding to donate the house to the museum, where they had their wedding photos 25 years ago.
Learn more about the history of the house
The Port Sanilac area attracted loggers in the early 1800s who harvested hemlock bark used for tanning leather. The lumberjack built a bark hut, which was essentially a lean-to, on the site of the current house. According to the historical society, this area became known as Bark Shanty Point because of the great lumberjack that was visible to sailors on Lake Huron.
William Aitkin was born and raised at home when the area was still known as Bark Shanty, before it was renamed Port Sanilac. He married Hattie Jenks and adopted his four-year-old son, Melvin Jenks.
William Aitkin studied law, was called to the bar, and opened a law firm in Carsonville in 1889 with John Farley, a native of Croswell. Around 1894, the Aitkins moved to Croswell, where Will practiced law until around 1920 and became one of Croswell's principal citizens, the company said.
After Will's death in 1927, the company said his wife and son honored his memory by offering the Town of Croswell a fund to expand and designate the William H. Aitkin Memorial Library, which opened in March 1931.
Hattie Aitkin also left a library trust in her will that will be used to purchase books, which are still used to expand the library's collection.

LOWELL – Literary icon Jack Kerouac, born and raised in Lowell, may soon have a museum established in his honor in the church he visited as a child.
The newly created Kerouac Foundation seeks to establish the Jack Kerouac museum and performance center in the former Saint-Jean-Baptiste church on rue Merrimack. The church was built in 1896 and served the neighborhood's French-Canadian population, and was also the site of Kerouac's funeral mass in 1969.
"Who doesn't know the writer Jack Kerouac? said Jim Sampas, CEO of the foundation. "Although there have been monuments built in Kerouac, there is no museum or performance center to celebrate the artistic talent of this singular author. There is a strong case to be made that no author in history has been more influential in the musical arts than Jack Kerouac and the performance center will celebrate this legacy. "
Sampas, who is also the literary executor of the Kerouac estate, said the idea of the museum and the performance space has been around for some time. Sylvia Cunha, the domain's marketing director and now the foundation's CEO, came up with the idea, he said.
When approached by Dave Ouellette of the Acre Coalition to Improve Our Neighborhood, known as Action, with the idea of pursuing the church building as the home for the museum, they immediately knew it was the right choice.
They contacted TMI Property Management and Development, owner of the vacant building, and hope to purchase it soon to make this dream come true.
"Memorize Jack in the place where his brother Gerard was baptized, where he himself served for a time as an altar boy and where he formed a deep bond with the priest who conducted his funeral, Father Spike Morissette, would be incredibly appropriate, "said Ouellette. .
Sampas said the church will contain a wide variety of artifacts related to Kerouac's life.
"The idea is to create a space that is very welcoming for everyone, as they would like, I'm sure," Sampas said. "What we're trying to do is have a museum that's going to have Jack's artifacts, lots of visual artifacts, and something very visually stimulating. It will be original editions, letters and manuscripts, of course, but there will also be things created by artists that help engage audiences.
He noted that Kerouac's writings influenced a wide variety of writers, visual artists and musicians, which inspired the project to include a performance center in the museum complex.
"I have had the great pleasure and the wonderful experience of working on several entertainment projects where we have had famous rock'n'roll artists, like Eddie Vedder, Michael Stipe, Patti Smith, Tom Waits and others, who love his job and were very excited to be part of anything to do with him, "said Sampas." The performance center will be celebrating that legacy in a way. "
A centenary celebration of the 100th anniversary of Kerouac is planned this year. As part of the celebration, the original scroll from the writer's best-known novel, "On the Road", will be featured in an exhibit titled "Visions of Kerouac" at the Lowell National Historical Park Boott Cotton Mills Galley, among other events .
Sampas said he expects the creation of the museum and performance space to take at least a year and a half, but it's still too early to tell. However, he said the foundation had already heard from many people interested in helping the project.
"We hope the excitement surrounding this will not only bring money to this project, but also to Lowell's economy," Sampas said. "As it is, people come from all over the world. … A lot of people have made a pilgrimage to the grave, so that's going to speed it up. "

The STORIES of modern painting conventionally begin with Paul Cézanne (1839-1906); and yet its relationship with later avant-garde artists is fraught with contradiction. The Budapest exhibition "Cezanne to Malevich" (the gallery and the artist's descendants prefer the spelling of the artist's name without the conventional accent, reflecting its own use of the dialect) reminds us that it is less he who influenced them that they or they who reinterpreted it.
The story of an appropriation (diversion) is usually told in terms of jarring visual philosophies. Where Cézanne freely dialogued with classical tradition in paintings of classical Arcadia, such as The great swimmers (1898), later modernists simply ignored it. Where Cézanne used geometric accentuation to anchor the perception of real objects, Cubists used real objects to celebrate geometry, and Mondrian got rid of external referents entirely in favor of mathematical abstraction.
The exhibition captures Cézanne's familiar revisionist tale well, while expanding it geographically to cover the less familiar subject of the artist's reception in Central and Eastern Europe. The exhibition ends with an exploration of the work of the Russian "supremacist" painter Kazimir Malevich (1879-1935).

Cezanne's enthusiastic reception at the start of the avant-garde in Moscow was characterized by Malevich, who wrote that "In Cézanne's personality our history of painting reaches the peak of its development. In Self-portrait and Portrait of Piotr Konchalovsky, (1910), Ilya Mashkov (1881-1944) placed a work entitled Cezanne next to the Bible on the shelf behind him.
Nonetheless, for others, the response to this new stimulus from France was, paradoxically, a diversion from Western pictorial tradition – and even from Cézanne himself. "Long live the splendid Orient! . . . Long live nationality! We are against the West. . . Today it is Cézanne and Picasso against whom we must fight! thundered Mikhail Larionov (1881-1944) in a 1913 manifesto.
Larionov and his supporters set out to dig deep into the traditions of Russian decorative art and Orthodox iconography, provocatively drawing the vernacular into the gallery and the sacred into the secular sphere. These currents combine in that of Larionov Venus from 1912, where, shockingly, the erotic mythological subject appears against a background of a golden yellow icon, while the decor is suggested using sparse motifs from Russian folk tradition.
There is a certain irony here. Larionov sought to escape Cezanne by unwittingly following his own path of renunciation. The exhibition reminds us that Cézanne was also inspired by the domestic ecclesial tradition. His in-depth study of figurative patterns in medieval parish churches in Aix-en-Provence shaped his own reshaping of facial representations, as evidenced by the portraits of his son Paul (1885) and his wife Hortense (vs. 1890).
Malevich, on the other hand, remained closer to Cézanne in his proclaimed sympathy, but, ironically, moved away from him in the loosening of conventions of representation. His work testifies to a complex negotiation with both Cézanne's legacy and Christian belief.
In White square and dissolution plan (1918), the subject appears to be a tomb, and the upper dissolving rectangle extending beyond the edge of the sheet could (as the catalog suggests) "be taken for a mystical substance, as if it were was about a soul leaving a body ".
Collection Stedelijk Museum AmsterdamKazimir Malevich (1879-1935), Mystic Suprematism (Red Cross on black circle), 1920-22, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam
Mystical suprematism (red cross on black circle) (1920-22) suggests the death of faith itself more than that of a believer. Leaning crosses are a familiar sight in Orthodox cemeteries, but the violent red is reminiscent of the Soviet revolution of 1917, the force of which detached the minor crossbars, which are scattered all around. The black halo suggests the eclipse of metaphysical belief itself.
What the exhibition could have explored in more depth is the contrast between Cézanne's vision of art as a gateway to the spiritual (in the literal sense of the term iconic) and the tendency of his performers and disciples to consider the artistic process and its fruits as spiritual in and of themselves.
In his pioneering 1913 study Cézanne and Holder (cited in catalog), Fritz Burger wrote of Cezanne in terms that speak of a spirituality beyond theism, arguing that he "shows us everywhere the grave and solemn face of the cosmos behind the insignificant details", and even speaking of "a darkening veil of mystery extending over the luminous freshness of vitality." The Dutch abstractionist Van Doesburg went further in 1915, asserting: "The new style… represents the absolute, the absolute. Eternal, God As such, the new practice of art is a priesthood in the universal sense of the term.
These interpretations, however, ignore Cézanne's own biography. He first learned to draw under the guidance of his high school teacher, the Spanish monk Joseph Gilbert. Although Cézanne's adult Catholic practice was intermittent, he returned to it from 1891 with sustained ardor throughout his last 15 years.
The importance of these facts to understanding his art is evident from his own claim. "When I judge art, I take my painting and place it next to an object created by God like a tree or a flower. If it collides, it's not art.
Contemplating this context will help us better understand why Cézanne himself never completely crossed the line from Arcadia to abstraction.
"Cézanne to Malevich: from Arcadia to abstraction" is in the Museum of Fine Arts, 1146 Budapest, Dózsa György út 41, Budapest, until February 13. www.mfab.hu

The Pop Art Museum in Saint angel salutes "folk art" in a former roofless bowling alley.
The art style mastered by people like Andy warhol and Pierre Max during the 1960s has a comedic appeal that satirizes popular culture while transcending socio-economic boundaries. You can question the artistic value of pop art, but you have to admit, it's fun and controversial.
Opened in 2019, the open-air museum is part of the Art in unusual places mission to keep San Angelo weird. The nonprofit arts organization has also sponsored a series of nearby murals known as "brush alley"and donated artwork to local parks.
The Pop Art Museum occupies the space where the Bowling center opened in 1946. Lightning (literally) closed it in 1952. The tracks were reopened but fell into disuse, and eventually the abandoned building became an eyesore.
The hollowed-out brick building with walls shared with the buildings on either side has no doors. Horizontal metal beams define the location of the roof.
Over 30 local artists have contributed to incredibly creative panels depicting the city's vast reservoir of talent in West Texas. Among the open-air museum is an original piece of James francis gill, a native of the region who was a contemporary of Warhol.
All art panels include a QR code that visitors can use to find out more on their phone about the art and the artists.
The Pop Art Museum is located at 125 W. Twohig in downtown San Angelo. There is no entrance fee and the exhibition is open all the time. To learn more about the Art in Uncommon Places beautification program, visit artinuncommonplaces.com.

As the highly anticipated Academy Museum of Motion Pictures opens in Los Angeles, we take a look at the place in cinema history of one of its main supporters, Rolex, as well as the brand's long-term commitment to the cinema art.
The opening of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on September 30 marked a major milestone in the history of cinema. According to Hollywood journalist, the last industry giants such as Walt Disney, Louis B Mayer, Mary Pickford and Gloria Swanson were keen for such a museum to be created. Now, finally, alongside other tributes to America's contribution to the cinematic arts – including Universal Studios theme parks and a plethora of museums housing Hollywood costumes, props, posters, and memorabilia – comes a institution up to the task.
Dedicated to the history, science and cultural influence of cinema, the Academy Museum is the first and largest of its kind in the United States. The 300,000 square foot campus stands proudly on the corner of Fairfax Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. Its location is well placed to welcome visitors from around the world to explore exhibits, screenings, programs and collections that shed light on the past, present and future of cinema.
Rolex James Cameron Testimonial
Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano, the museum was built over six years, on a budget greater than any blockbuster ever made. There are two buildings on site. The main one was a heritage monument that underwent a major restoration and expansion to become the Saban Building, which houses six floors of state-of-the-art exhibition and event spaces, an Art House-style theater, an education studio, a conservation studio and public spaces. Connected to it by a glass bridge is the new Sphere Building, which houses a 999-seat auditorium and particularly spectacular with its domed top, on which a terrace offers panoramic views stretching from Westwood to Hollywood sign.
As the institution's founding patron, Rolex has a permanent room on the third floor of the museum. Called the Rolex Gallery, it is an experiential space showcasing film stories in which installations tell about the impact of technology, artists, history and societal issues on filmmaking. The Cosmograph Daytona, famous property of the late actor and racing enthusiast Paul Newman, is also on display.
Rolex and the Academy of Cinema Arts and Sciences did not formalize their relationship until 2017, when the Swiss brand became the exclusive watch and a proud sponsor of the Oscars. However, the watchmaker's long-standing ties to the cinema go back much further.
The Greenroom 2021, hosted and designed by Rolex
Attached to the wrists of some of the greatest actors, Rolex watches have appeared in countless films in the past. At that time, actors wore the watches not for sponsorship reasons, but out of admiration for the brand, as well as the power and notion of success that watches brought to their roles.
For example, Marlon Brando wore a Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 1675 without its bezel in Apocalypse now (1979). Although Newman is most closely associated with the Daytona, he put a stainless steel Datejust in The color of silver (1986). In the epic of James Cameron Titanic (1997), Bill Paxton wore his own yellow gold Submariner as he descended towards the famous wreck of a submersible.
Alec Baldwin had a Rolex Day-Date President on his wrist in Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), while Matthew McConaughey accessorizes the Rolex Datejust in the The wolf of Wall Street in 2013. As for Ryan Gosling, he wore the Rolex Bubbleback and a Submariner in 2011 Crazy, stupid, love. Clint Eastwood and Dustin Hoffman are also known to wear their own Rolex watches in different movies.
Rolex Martin Scorsese testimonial
Rolex maintains that it has never put a watch in a movie as product placement, and never will, although the brand clearly welcomes a director's choice to use the brand to use the brand for. represent the courage of a particular character.
Today, Rolex continues to actively support filmmakers, whether they are established authors or emerging talents. He still maintains close ties with two great figures in cinema, Scorsese and Cameron, and also heads the prestigious Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative, which pairs young artists with masters in their discipline for creative collaborations. Scorsese has previously sponsored this program, as have directors Alfonso Cuarón and Spike Lee, demonstrating the commitment of Rolex and the masters of cinema to the pursuit of excellence and the development of the next generation of filmmakers.

The museum is not Disney World
In response to Connor Finley's December 28 letter regarding his visit to the United States Olympic and Paralympic Museum, I would like to respond.
Mr. Finley, I don't think I know you, but if I did, we might be friends. And as a friend, I should tell you how narrow your take on your visit to this wonderful local attraction was.
What I learned from your letter is that you don't like spending money on parking; the "games", as you call them, did not live up to your expectations; and touch screens required you to read 2-3 sentences instead of watching a video. Oh, and the exterior signs asking that no skateboards be practiced on sidewalks (so as not to destroy property or run over customers) was contrary to what you thought was more appropriate.
Having visited the museum three times myself so far, and from what you have written I wonder if your experience could have been any different if first you had parked on the street where you are paying a meter per hour (much less than the $ 39 you ended up paying). Second, if you had read one of the 2-3 sentence descriptions next to one of the beautiful photographs depicting the hundreds of athlete experiences, you might have been inspired instead of so disappointed with "clumsy and banal" virtual tests. After all, it's not Disney World.
A quote from one of the exhibits expresses the theme of the museum: "Everything about the Olympics is great, especially its values and ideals. The Games bring the world together and reflect a vision of peace, equality, excellence and, above all, the joy of participating.
As the games progressed, their scope widened, both in terms of geography and idealism. And more than all athletics and spectacle, the Olympics produce a spectacularly human feeling. As figure skater Scott Hamilton said: "Most other competitions are individual achievements, but the Olympics are something that belongs to everyone."
I could go on and mention all the things I learned from my visits. I look forward to a fourth visit so that I can read more of the 2-3 sentence accounts of those who have experienced the joy of participating in the Games.

Absolutely nailed the problem
Thank you for publishing Glenn Loury's article in the Sunday Gazette as part of the Benson Center Lecture Series at the University of Colorado at Boulder. This black professor fully understood the black problem in America and its solution. His last paragraph says it better than anything I could do. Here it is again:
"So here is my last unspeakable truth, which I now speak in defiance of 'culture cancellation'. If we black people want to walk with dignity, if we want to be truly equal, then we have to realize that whites cannot give us equality. We actually need to earn equal status. Please don't cancel me just yet because I'm on the black side here. But I feel obliged to point out that equality of dignity, equality of status, equality of honor, equality of security in one's position in society, equality of being able to impose respect for others – it is not something that can just be passed on. Rather, it is something to be wrenched from a cruel and indifferent world with hard, bare-handed work, inspired by the example of our enslaved and newly liberated ancestors. We must make each other equal. No one can do it for us.
Erik Lessing
The "left madness" continues
The left-wing madness continued in December with the guilty verdict of Jussie Smollett, who created and practiced the hate crime hoax that two guys wearing MAGA hats attacked him and tied him in a noose around the neck.
Let's not forget Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' rush to judgment bolstering Smollett's hate crime hoax while almost simultaneously calling Kyle Rittenhouse a "white supremacist" for his innocent acts of self-defense.
Then Chicago State Attorney Kim Foxx tried to cover up Smollett's crime and not charge him by telling Smollett's sister, "Your brother should be fine as long as he stays consistent." just before a retired judge successfully files the petition as a private citizen to have a special prosecutor assigned to the case. It is shameful how these Democrats try so hard to create lies, divide America on race, and then attempt to cover up their own crimes.
Speaking of tampering with evidence, the Jan.6 committee now admits Congressman Adam Schiff forged text messages and even displayed them onscreen during his statement to create the illusion that councilors and lawmakers of Donald Trump colluded with those in the so-called insurgency on Capitol Hill. . No media outlet wants to mention Antifa organizer John Sullivan, who colluded with CNN in the planned riot on Capitol Hill or the 534 nationwide Antifa riots in 2020. Schiff should be thrown in jail with the rioters of Antifa.
Two Democrats who pushed for "Defund the Police" – one is robbed at gunpoint in Pennsylvania while the other is hijacked in Illinois. And what did they do afterwards? Yes, they called the police they want to reimburse. If you are a Democrat who wants to fund the police, please do not call the police. They are necessary for Americans who appreciate our police officers.
Oh, and by the way, the Chicago Dem's husband had a gun and used it during the hijacking. Amazing how the same Democrats, who want to ban guns and fund citizen policing, use them for themselves.
A Democratic rights group wants more female models for "greater equality" in model testing, claiming the models are male-dominated.
If you didn't know any of these stories, there's a good chance you're watching "fake news" and that's just part of the left-wing madness for December 2021.

In response to the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes, the Noguchi museum in Long Island City launched its first open call for artist banners and honored the finalists at an opening reception, where the banner made its debut.
The event held in November brought together artists and their guests, museum partner organizations, elected officials and staff, including Museum Director Brett Littman, who opened the reception.
In an effort to raise awareness and amplify local AAPI voices, emerging AAPI artists based in Queens were invited to submit designs for the museum's outdoor banner space to advocate for the fight against racism, where one artist would earn an honorarium of $ 1,000 and two finalists would each receive $ 500.
The initiative was created to show solidarity with the Japanese heritage of museum founder Isamu Noguchi and to act against the Asian hatred that has circulated information since the start of the pandemic.
"Amid the escalation of violence against the AAPI community and across the United States, staff felt absolutely compelled to prove that we are allies of these marginalized communities," Littman said in his speech to 'opening.
According to the media coordinator of the Noguchi museum, Justin Baez, the artist applications were assessed by a jury made up of the museum's organizing committee, an interdepartmental and intergenerational group of volunteers, including himself, and representatives. two local partner organizations, Queen's Arts Council and Asian-American Arts Alliance.
After receiving and narrowing down more than 20 entries, the museum selected Chemin Hsiao as the first winner and Woomin Kim and Mo Kong as the finalists.

Featured through six outdoor banners, Hsiao's work, titled "Dandelions Know" (2021), was chosen for its powerful message of anti-racism, solidarity and hope in response to the growing wave of violence and fear facing Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders across the United States.
"What attracted us to Hsiao's work is his ability to capture a lot of personal emotions towards the subject, doing it in a way that is aesthetically translatable by the banners," Baez said. "We also appreciated the way he approached not only anti-racism, but the current political landscape in a narrative way."
Hsiao, an Elmhurst-based Taiwanese visual artist, was initially reluctant to submit a banner proposal, struggling to figure out how to approach the heavy topic.
What ultimately drove him to participate was how much he admired Noguchi's experience as Nisei, a second-generation Japanese American, especially during WWII.
In his essay, "I Become a Nisei", Noguchi wrote that the Nisei are "an intermediate people with no common ground." This particular quote, Hsiao said, is the essence of the central dandelion.
"Overall, the banner should be about Asian hate crimes and violence, but this specific piece is about Mr. Noguchi himself and how he feels and how I relate to the fact that he's from Taiwan." , Hsiao said. "I just took that perspective and thought, as a Taiwanese and a member of the AAPI community living in New York City, how do I feel? "
When you arrive at the entrance to the museum, the banners are presented in sequential order: 1) "Surrounded", 2) "Fear", 3) "Cut the loop", 4) "Dandelions know (as they float too ) ", 5)" Heal and forgive (if possible) ", 6)" We are only humans. Keep communicating.
"Each of them serves a different purpose, but if I had to choose [my favorite], it's the happy accident at the center of the series, the dandelion, "Hsiao said. "When I planned the six drafts, this one was the hardest to come out because it's not really related to Asian hate crimes, but ultimately it's the one that people identify with the most. "

Hsiao's hope is that the public aspect of the artwork will pique the interest of all passers-by and make them stop, look, and be curious.
Inside the museum, there is a description of the banner, as well as descriptions and visuals of the proposed banners by the two finalists.
Kong, a Chinese multidisciplinary artist and researcher residing in Sunnyside, created his works in the midst of the pandemic, preserving objects, such as food and trinkets from childhood, in the tradition of classical art to the inside their refrigerator.
Whether the pictures act as some sort of puzzle or a familiar ensemble, Kong hopes people can always relate to the pictures.
"What I'm trying to do is use [this project] like a mirror to reflect and verify our personal history, where we came from and why certain things are important to us, "Kong said. "I also want to show, especially to immigrant children and children, the possibilities of creating works of art. You don't have to have high access to start making art, but it can be anything around you.
The next finalist, Kim, a South Korean artist based in Ridgewood, wanted to change the inaccurate and xenophobic narrative surrounding shijang, or street markets.
"I just wanted to create the shijang narrative in a way that I know is more accurate to me, which is very colorful and festive and full of energy and vibrancy," Kim said. "This is an organic conservation of material that might not make sense in Whole Foods or Trader Joe's."
The museum was drawn to how Kim's aesthetic combined with the theme, especially with his use of textiles and materiality. "The way she created the banners kind of speaks to and elevates the day to day nature of Asian American life," Baez said.

Through her panels, Kim hopes she can provide visitors from Asian communities with moments of familiarity and recall their own memories in a festive way, as well as being a voice for Asians' daily experiences for those unfamiliar with them.
"We are really proud of our finalists and the artists who submitted," Baez said. "We hope that this will serve as a precedent and that we can continue this series in the following years, adopting different tones and requirements, while maintaining this fundamental vision and this desire to amplify the voice of local artists."
The banners are displayed outside the entrance to the museum.

Radiotherapy's Role in Metastatic Prostate Cancer Clarified
— Men with three bone lesions and no visceral metastases see clear benefit
by Ian Ingram, Deputy Managing Editor, MedPage Today February 18, 2021
Adding radiation therapy to standard treatment improved failure-free survival (FFS) and overall survival for prostate cancer patients with only a few bone metastases, an exploratory analysis of the multi-arm, multi-stage STAMPEDE trial found.
Among the nearly 2,000 men in the study, adding radiation to mostly androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) improved both FFS (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.47-0.70) and overall survival (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.46-0.83) in those with only non-regional lymph node metastasis or with fewer than three bone lesions and no visceral metastases, reported Noel Clarke, MBBS, of the Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester, England, and colleagues.
Patients either with visceral metastasis or four or more bone lesions still had improved FFS (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.76-0.99, P=0.002 for interaction) with radiation, but no overall survival benefit (HR 1.08, 95% CI 0.91-1.28, P=0.003 for interaction), according to the findings in JAMA Oncology.
Primary findings from this part of STAMPEDE, as previously reported, showed that men with "low metastatic burden" had improved 3-year overall survival with the addition of radiation to standard of care (81% vs 73%).
"Currently, the definition of low metastatic burden is not agreed upon internationally; it includes a range of definitions based on metastasis number (<3 to <10), various sites (bone, lymph node, and/or visceral metastasis), and different imaging modalities," wrote Clarke and colleagues. "In our study, we built upon these prognostic criteria to evaluate systematically the predictive nature of metastatic burden based on conventional imaging using bone scan and computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging."
In an accompanying editorial, Bridget Koontz, MD, of Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina, and Thomas Hope, MD, of the University of California San Francisco, said the findings help clarify which metastatic patients should be offered radiation, but noted that a recent meta-analysis showed a survival benefit in patients with fewer than five lesions.
"While the utility of prostate RT [radiation therapy] can be debated for a man with castration-sensitive prostate cancer and four bone metastases, the overall take-home message is that local RT matters most in men with few metastases and good systemic control and that local RT should be applied more cautiously as the burden of disease increases," they wrote.
Koontz and Hope added that number of metastases is a "rough surrogate" for disease volume on imaging, which has also been associated with prostate cancer outcomes in this dataset.
"This approach has advantages compared with counting lesions owing to the high interreader variability in bone scan interpretation," they wrote. "We do not know if it is the number of metastases or the volume of metastatic disease that matters or if both are equally important."
The distinction, argued Koontz and Hope, will be of greater importance in the highly-sensitive prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET era, when many more bone lesions are likely to be detected on imaging. "Instead of counting metastases, decision-making may instead migrate to volume-based risk assessment of disease to determine who is likely to benefit from prostate RT."
STAMPEDE randomized 2,061 men (median age 68) to standard of care with or without radiation (55 Gy in 20 daily fractions over 4 weeks, or 36 Gy in 6 weekly fractions over 6 weeks). Standard of care predominantly involved ADT, but the trial was amended to allow docetaxel (about 20% received the chemotherapy).
The current analysis included 1,939 patients with evaluable imaging using conventional bone scans. In all, 82% had any bone metastases (plus or minus non-regional lymph node involvement), 9% had only non-regional lymph node metastasis, and 9% had visceral or other sites of metastasis.
Among the 577 patients with three or more lesions, 3-year overall survival improved from 75% to 85% with the addition of radiation (HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.46-0.89) and FFS improved from 33% to 53% (HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.45-0.71). In the 1,010 patients with four or more lesions, overall survival was unchanged (53% without vs 52% with radiation), nor was it improved among the 171 patients with visceral or other metastasis (56% vs 53%, respectively).
In the 181 patients with only non-regional lymph node metastasis, FFS at 3 years significantly improved from 29% to 51% with radiation (HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.42-0.94), while overall survival showed a trend toward favoring radiation (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.33-1.09).
Limitations cited by the authors included the retrospective nature of the study and the fact that radiation's role has not been established with docetaxel or newer classes of agents in this setting.
Ian Ingram is Managing Editor at MedPage Today and helps cover oncology for the site.
The study was funded by Cancer Research U.K., Medical Research Council, Astellas, Clovis Oncology, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer, and Sanofi Aventis, as well as by the National Institute for Health Research Biomedical Research Centre at the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust and the Institute of Cancer Research.
Clarke disclosed relationships with Astellas, AstraZeneca, Ferring, and Janssen. Co-authors reported various industry relationships.
Koontz reported fees from Blue Earth Diagnostics and Myovant Sciences, as well as grants from Janssen Scientific Affairs and Blue Earth Diagnostics. Hope disclosed fees from Curium Pharma, Blue Earth Diagnostics, and Ipsen, and grants from Advanced Accelerator Applications.

The Group of Transcarpathian truck drivers detained in Kazakhstan without valid reasons. One of the Uzhgorod families for the second week is living like in a bad dream. Their 29-year old breadwinner, the truck driver Yurii, is detained by Kazakh police. He and 6 more Transcarpathians carried to this country equipment for wine making, but instead of gratitude to the representatives of friendly people they are kept for 15 days already on one of the parking lots without valid reasons.
Yurii has been working as a truck driver for 5-6 years already and has never got in unpleasant situations like this before. He and another six colleagues from Irshava, Mukachevo and Uzhgorod delivered equipment for wine making from France in the Kazakh city of Shymkent. And in the city of Aktobe, which they were passing, they got in trouble. There all 7 CAMION were detained by transport police on July 19.
'At first they checked whether the bilateral agreements are real. It took several days for them to raise concerns about the absence of tripartite agreements, which they cannot have: for trucks of 'Eueo-2' standard such documents have not provided for 1.5-2 years. Still because of it Transcarpathians has been held in the parking lot for a long time. What is interesting, for each day 'of staying' they should pay $45. It's just humiliation! - Outraged Oksana. - They are forcibly detained there and have to pay for this. Living conditions are simply terrible. Son sleeps in the car and spends the whole day on 40-degree heat. Local people bring them water. I don't want even to tell about the absence of toilet and shower...'.
According to his mother, the boys turned to various authorities. But nobody can help in reality. In particular client of wine making equipment (by the way, its cost - 100 thousand dollars), said the detention of drivers - is their problem. The employer of dwellers is the company 'Glory Cargo Service' states that does everything necessary for their salvation, but nothing comes out. Now am negotiating with the inspector, who delayed our carriers. 'Now I am negotiating with the inspector, who detained our carriers. He promised to give a concrete answer, what to do - said Susanna Yossayi'.
In short, the capture of Transcarpathians in hot Kazakhstan may take more than one day. Oksana Yuriivna tearfully begs for help of all the concerned. She is terribly concerned about the fate of Yurii and his wife Alina.

The output from the factor analysis is displayed in Figure 37.1 through Figure 37.5.
As displayed in Figure 37.1, the prior communality estimates are set to the squared multiple correlations. Figure 37.1 also displays the table of eigenvalues (the variances of the principal factors) of the reduced correlation matrix. Each row of the table pertains to a single eigenvalue. Following the column of eigenvalues are three measures of each eigenvalue's relative size and importance. The first of these displays the difference between the eigenvalue and its successor. The last two columns display the individual and cumulative proportions that the corresponding factor contributes to the total variation. The last line displayed in Figure 37.1 states that three factors are retained, as determined by the PROPORTION criterion.
Figure 37.2 displays the initial factor pattern matrix. The factor pattern matrix represents standardized regression coefficients for predicting the variables by using the extracted factors. Because the initial factors are uncorrelated, the pattern matrix is also equal to the correlations between variables and the common factors.
Figure 37.3 displays the proportion of variance explained by each factor and the final communality estimates, including the total communality. The final communality estimates are the proportion of variance of the variables accounted for by the common factors. When the factors are orthogonal, the final communalities are calculated by taking the sum of squares of each row of the factor pattern matrix.
Figure 37.4 displays the results of the VARIMAX rotation of the three extracted factors and the corresponding orthogonal transformation matrix. The rotated factor pattern matrix is calculated by postmultiplying the original factor pattern matrix (Figure 37.4) by the transformation matrix.
However, using 0.5 for determining a salient variable-factor relationship does not take sampling variability into account. If the underlying assumptions for the maximum likelihood estimation are approximately satisfied, you can output standard error estimates and the confidence intervals with METHOD= ML. You can then determine the salience of the variable-factor relationship by using the coverage displays. See the section Confidence Intervals and the Salience of Factor Loadings for more details.
Figure 37.5 displays the variance explained by each factor and the final communality estimates after the orthogonal rotation. Even though the variances explained by the rotated factors are different from that of the unrotated factor (compare with Figure 37.3), the cumulative variance explained by the common factors remains the same. Note also that the final communalities for variables, as well as the total communality, remain unchanged after rotation. Although rotating a factor solution will not increase or decrease the statistical quality of the factor model, it can simplify the interpretations of the factors and redistribute the variance explained by the factors.


BANGKOK — Tuesday marks International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia. To celebrate sexual diversity Cho Why, an art space near Chinatown, is hosting a special event a few days in advance.

Industry leaders try to fix IT's value creation problem with IT-CMF
by David Cliff 4 June 2009
The Innovation Value Institute (IVI), the two year-old collaboration between some of the world's most prominent CIOs, CFOs, IT vendors and high-tech academics, yesterday demonstrated how they hope to address IT's most fundamental and longstanding challenge: to ensure investment in IT consistently delivers value to the business.
Gathering for the European launch of IVI's IT-Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF) at Maynooth University near Dublin, early adopters – which include BP, Chevron, Lloyds TSB, Intel, Microsoft, SAP, Xilinx, Logica – outlined the concrete benefits they have already seen by adopting the model within specific areas of their operations.
IT-CMF identifies 36 processes that are critical to IT – from Sourcing and Service Provisioning to Enterprise Architecture Management and Investment Analysis & Performance. By drawing on shared member experience and wider industry expertise, it seeks to define best practice in each of these. By mapping the framework onto their IT department, implementers score their organisation's maturity for the different processes across five levels, setting improvement targets and approaches to optimising these for value creation.
According to Stacy Smith, CFO and a former CIO of Intel, "We need an integrated and standardised framework for systematically improving IT capability and making IT investment decisions strategically from a holistic perspective. IT-CMF does exactly this."
"It address the fundamental problem of business value derived from IT spending by providing an end-to-end integrated framework to help the CIO manage the complexities and trade-offs required to continuously evolve the IT capability [so it] delivers measurable value."
IT-CMF is the latest in a series of initiatives that have been launched over the years – CobiT, CMMI, Val-IT, ITIL and others, that attempt to raise the rigour and professionalism of IT delivery, with the ultimate aim of improving IT's track record in creating business value. However, while it draws on those efforts, IT-CMF is being viewed as more comprehensive in scope, a perception that might explain the rapid build up in momentum behind the initiative.
Participants have been impressed by the breadth and depth that underpins the processes and sub-processes created by IT-CMF's working groups. At a high level, Peter O'Shea, CIO of Ireland's largest utility provider, ESB, outlined how his organisation's assessment of its core processes produced a scoring of mostly twos and threes, prompting him to attack areas where it is below par.
At a more granular level, Fabrice Locke, head of innovation at the technology services unit of insurance giant AXA, told the audience of 120 how his organisation found shortcomings in its Technical Infrastructure Management process. By drilling into server management within its data centre sub-process, AXA Technology Services found its provisioning practices for new servers were in many cases at IT-CMF Level 1, with some parts of AXA taking half a day to bring a new server on-stream. By focusing on raising that standard, while drawing on other IVI members' experiences, it has attained Level 3, with new server provisioning reduced in many cases to 10 minutes.
IVI, which has extensive input from both industry and academia, received a further boost yesterday, when the Irish prime minister, Brian Cowen, joined the launch event to announce details of a €1 million grant that will support IVI's on-going developments at Ireland's Maynooth, Limerick and Galway universities.

Oh, well wasn't March an eventful month for me?! I have bought my own domain, updated my blog, did many collaborations with some amazing brands, went to a fashion show where I won the 'Best Dressed' award, got good grades from uni, and got rid of horrible people from my life! I can honestly say that March this year has made me stronger as a woman and I'm very grateful for all your support.
Moving on, March wasn't my best month for beauty favourites therefore I will say that the events mentioned above are a part of my monthly faves, but I did fall back in love with a couple of items I've had for a while.
First up, MAC's Paint Pot in the shade Painterly. I have previously reviewed this product here, but I started to reach for it more throughout the month to make my eyeshadow last longer. I really love the shade of this paint pot as it's very close to my natural skin tone so it makes it easy to blend any eyeshadow colour on my lid. I also have 3 more shades of these, would anyone like an updated MAC makeup collection? Please let me know!
The other product I've been loving this March is the glorious Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Eau de Parfum - 100 ml . I wanted to get this perfume for so long, and one of my closest friends bought me a bottle for Christmas last year! I was so happy when I opened it up - you should have seen my face! It smells great, it's suitable for all ages (especially teens and young adults, and anyone who loves sweet scents!). And can we just sit back and appreciate the packaging? It's so bloody gorgeous that I think I'll keep the bottle on display after I use the product up!!

What have you been loving this March? Have you tried any of the products mentioned above?

TUE AM News: MMAC survey finds tempered optimism among business leaders; State exceeds diversity contracting goals
— The latest MMAC business outlook survey finds company leaders "more tempered in their optimism" due to inflation and persistent labor shortages.
Bret Mayborne, economic research director for the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, said business leaders in the region expect local economic growth to continue through the second quarter and rest of the year.
But he added that "levels of optimism expressed on sales, profit and employment are all modestly lower than first-quarter expectations in our previous survey."
Top business concerns highlighted in the survey include historically high inflation and low unemployment rates, while supply chain problems were ranked as a "moderate" concern and office reopening plans were "of least concern" among all respondents. But manufacturers ranked supply chain issues as one of their top concerns.
Of the 77 surveyed firms that employ over 21,000 workers, 70 percent predict real sales gains in the second quarter of 2022, compared to this time last year. That's down from the 75 percent who predicted first-quarter sales gains in the prior survey.
And 54 percent of respondents expect higher profits in the second quarter, compared to 63 percent for the first quarter.
Meanwhile, 49 percent said they expect year-over-year jobs growth this quarter, down slightly from the 53 percent who predicted employment to rise in the first quarter.
The report shows jobs growth in metro Milwaukee has been "slow and steady in 2022's early months." Job numbers have increased at a 1.6 percent average year-to-date rate compared to the prior year, with the best numbers seen in leisure and hospitality and manufacturing.
MMAC notes variations in employment expectation by industry and business size are small. Among manufacturers, 52 percent predict job gains over the year in the second quarter, compared to 48 percent for all other businesses. Larger employers are "slightly more likely" to predict employment growth than small employers, with 51 percent compared to 47 percent, respectively.
Report authors note "Price inflation and labor shortages are likely driving potential future wage and salary increases." Average per-person wage and salary increases are forecasted at 5.7 percent for the next 12 months, marking "a considerably higher rate than that predicted in recent years."

— Wisconsin has again exceeded its diversity contracting goals, with 6.34 percent of spending in fiscal year 2021 going to minority-owned enterprises and disabled veteran-owned businesses.
That's according to a release from the Department of Administration, which shows the state's goal of spending 5 percent of state dollars with minority-owned enterprises has been reached for the second year in a row. Last year's diversity spending level was the highest it's been since the Wisconsin Supplier Diversity Program began in 1983, the release shows.
This percentage has varied slightly in the past five years, from 4.39 percent in FY 2016, to 4.87 percent in 2017, 4.57 percent in 2018, 3.95 percent in 2019 and 5.4 percent in 2020.
Entities certified through the program can get a 5 percent bid preference for state contracts, DOA says.
Program director Tondra Davis says working with diverse companies is "a key component of economic equity, job and wealth creation" in Wisconsin.
"Not only have we met the MBE spend goal two years in a row, we have also reached a new record high of 6.34% and record $192M spend with diverse businesses, while expanding education and other opportunities for business owners across the state," she said in the release.

— Wisconsin AFL-CIO says it "stands in solidarity" with United Auto Workers members striking in Racine and Burlington, Iowa.
Over 1,000 workers at two CNH Industrial plants in Racine and Burlington went on strike after a breakdown in labor contract discussions, the Associated Press reported. The company makes agricultural and construction equipment.
According to the AFL-CIO release, over 600 members of UAW Local 180 work at the CNH facility in Racine.
"UAW members are holding the line to strengthen our American middle class by standing together for a good union contract that establishes fair work rules with good wages and the ability to retire with dignity," Stephanie Bloomingdale, president of the Wisconsin AFL-CIO, said in a statement. "We send strength and solidarity to the striking workers and urge CNHi to negotiate in good faith to reach a mutually agreeable contract."

— Milwaukee's Department of City Development is seeking developer proposals for the Homes MKE initiative, which will renovate vacant city-owned residential properties.
A release from the city shows the Milwaukee Common Council last year allocated $15 million in American Rescue Plan Act dollars to the initiative. The effort aims to sell, renovate and reoccupy at least 150 foreclosed houses while providing job opportunities for the construction effort and benefitting the surrounding neighborhoods.

— The Governor's Health Equity Council has released a list of 20 recommendations aimed at addressing health disparities in the state.
The recommendations, released yesterday as an executive summary ahead of its full report, are organized into the following categories: health and community services; education and housing; taxes, wages and wealth; justice; and governance.
Along with backing previous suggestions from state task forces on broadband and climate change, other recommendations include: providing health services for immigrant populations; offering reimbursement for various dental health and community health services through the state's Medicaid program; providing tuition waivers for members of tribal nations; boosting Wisconsin's minimum wage; expanding eligibility for the state's earned income tax credit; creating an Interagency Council on Transgender Health and Safety and more.
"These proposals, if enacted, will have significant positive effects on our ability as a state to combat historic and pervasive health disparities across race, economic status, education, geographic location, and history of incarceration," said council Chairperson Gina Green-Davis, director of the Center for Community Engagement and Health Partnerships at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health.
The council is also urging the state to "make permanent the work and purpose of the Governor's Health Equity Council," by creating an advisory body to the Department of Health Service's Office of Health Equity, establishing the council in state statute or other methods.
Gov. Tony Evers created the council in March 2019 through an executive order, tasking members with improving health outcomes in the state with a comprehensive strategy taking into account "all determinants of health."
The council's recommendations were released as it shifts to drafting its final report, slated for release early this summer.
Members include DHS Secretary-designee Karen Timberlake, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, tribal leaders and health officials, health system executives, analysts and advisors to various health entities both public and private, diversity specialists and others.
