Tulovsky describes Russian nonconformist art movement
BY SCOTT THOMPSON '16
Arts & Entertainment Editor
Julia Tulovsky, associate curator for Russian and Soviet nonconformist art at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, gave a lecture entitled "Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union" Monday, April 8. The talk focused on the history of the Nonconformist Art Movement, which spanned from the late 1950s to the late 1980s.
Tulovsky mentioned many Russian artists whose influences are still felt, but not recognized as much as they should be -— something Tulovsky cares very deeply about. Because of this, everything she said about the artists was presented in a heartfelt manner, making the talk feel more like a conversation than a lecture.
Tulovsky was born in Moscow and raised in a family of artists, which helped her develop a love and appreciation for art. This appreciation led her to attend Moscow State University, where she received a doctorate in art history after writing a dissertation on the avant-garde artist Liubov Papova. Upon obtaining her doctorate, Tulovsy began working in the position she holds today at the Zimmerli Art Museum, one of the largest and most distinguished university-based museums in the country. Tulovsky has only helped improve that image while being in charge of the largest collection of nonconformist art in the world.
The nonconformist art at the Zimmerli, which provided the basis for Tulovsky's lecture, is from the Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection, which Tulovsky explained to be a collection of art composed of over 20,000 pieces by over 1,000 artists, all of which was collected by Norton Dodge, an economics professor at the University of Maryland. Dodge was working in Russia in the '50s and '60s when he fell in love with the art. This love took over his life and its effect will be felt for a long time, just like the art that comprises his collection.
According to Tulovsky, the movement started in Russia with the death of Stalin in 1953. "When Stalin was in power, he sent anyone with a creative spark to labor camps," Tulovsky said. By 1956, the structures he imposed on Russia were removed, and artists were once again able to express themselves. "[In this time] people who could think differently were released." However, a great deal of their predecessors' art was lost to Stalin's regime, leaving very little to influence their new works.
Without a guide, artists had to work together to develop a new artistic style, leaving behind Social Realism, a form of art that depicts Soviet accomplishments in a realistic manner, while glorifying their leader, an artistic style that Tulovsky believes to be very restricting. This led to the foundation of different groups of artists, such as the Lianozovo group, which Tulovsky cited as one of the most impressive groups of this movement.
The Lianozovo group was based around Oscar Rabin, who painted "Barracks," the first painting of freedom after the fall of Stalin, and included the artists Vladimir Nemukhin, his wife Lydia Masterkova, and Evgenii Rukhin. This group of artists used a predominantly abstract style and very quickly made a name for themselves.
However, Nikita Khrushchev, Russia's new leader, felt threatened by the artists and their work. As a result, he refused to give them a venue to display their work. This led to one of the most famous moments in art history, the Bulldozer Exhibit, in which the Lianozovo group decided to have an art show outside after they were denied venues. The Russian government did not approve of this and tried shutting it down, eventually resorting to running over the exhibit with bulldozers.
This is the perfect representation of the relationship between government and art in Russia, which is always a struggle. Tulovsky thought it should also be noted that, even after all of this, Ernest Neizvestny, one of the artists who stood up to the government, still sculpted Khrushchev's tombstone.
"I think this shows the relationship between the government and artists," Tulovsky said.
The impact of the nonconformist movement can still be felt today, all over the world.
"It's a huge part of the historical landscape, but it's not recognized enough," Tulovsky said.
This is something Tulovsky wants to change, as she spreads awareness through giving lectures and curating the Zimmerli Art Museum. To her, the museum provides the most rewarding aspect of her career, as she gets to work with original works of art from this movement.
"Working with original pieces, I believe, is the most rewarding part of my job."
Although, when asked if she had a favorite painting, she stated: "I do not think I'm allowed to [have a favorite]. They're all very good."
"[Working with the art still presents challenges, but I] believe it's very rewarding to overcome them," Tulvosky said.
The results of Tulovsky overcoming these challenges, as well as the Nonconformists overcoming the obstacles they faced, can be seen in the history and artwork on display at the Zimmerli Art Museum.

Anees Merchant, Senior Vice President – Digital, BlueOcean Market Intelligence talks to Social Samosa about the discomforting term big data, its application for start-ups and SMEs and effective use of data insights in India.
Anees, the phrase 'big data' often causes faces to scrunch up in discomfort. Big Data = Simple Solutions. What has your experience been in this regard? Have you had to 'convert' people to this school of though?
Data has been in existence for quite some time now, it is the technology which has made it big. Organizations are still trying to grapple with the introduction of technology and subsequently manage data. Analytics practices and outputs are going to be key differentiators for organizations in the next 15 to 20 years. However each and every organization is not at the same analytics maturity stage of evolution. Many organizations are trying to chew a lot at the same time to embark on the analytics journey.The failure or dissatisfaction from big data and analytics practices stem from the fact that there is no ROI immediately and they would need to wait for some time.
In my experience and working with clients at Blueocean Market Intelligence, we are continuously advising clients to embark on this journey with a focus to chew small and manageable programs. The nirvana stage of analytics can only be achieved if you have a defined path to reach there and while walking through the path organizations realize many wins which ensure there is confidence in the overall program.
Blueocean Market Intelligence has been very successful, with some Fortune 500 clients in your trophy cabinet. How do you find the opportunities overseas to be different from those at home, in India?
The biggest difference has been with an intention to experiment and break through the norms. It has been changing for sometime now, but the two worlds are very different when you compare it. For example many organizations in India don't yet have a focussed analytics practice or organization and this been sporadic ownership. Where as in West, there are now formal organization structures with designations and offices of CAO (Chief Analytics Officer), CDS (Chief Data Scientists), etc, whereas the analytics practice are driven either by CIO / CTO or CMO (very few) organizations in India. I am not saying the current organizations are not equipped to make the decisions or buy the services, it is just about the focus and organization structures.
Additionally in India with many organizations, analytics outcomes or practices are still a question mark, predominantly it is due to lack of data or I should say quality of data which stems of adopting right technology to capture, retain and process data.
Do you find there to be a variance in embracing decision engineering across industries?
Definitely there is a variance, however there are exceptions in each industry. So rather than naming an individual industry or vertical, I would say organizations and industries who are gearing towards digital activities or have major presence online are much more advanced then who are not. Additionally organizations who have started with online as a predominant business model are more advanced in the approach and leveraging analytics as key differentiators.
Now this doesn't correlate that organizations only who have online as a strategy can embrace analytics. Many organizations like some of the large FMCG brands have been leveraging analytics to drive the marketing and customer strategies.
How can start-ups and SMEs benefit from the intelligence Blueocean provides?
Blueocean has suite of services which it offers to SMEs and Start-ups where our solutions are focussed towards specific marketing or customer objectives. We are currently today optimized our solutions to drive 3 tiered approach based on organization appetite and ability to stay focussed on analytics solutions. In addition to this we do offer consulting services currently and in the past to SME and start-up organizations on how they can embrace new sophisticated techniques and technology to create differentiated stories for themselves.
Blueocean, tech tools, and organisations such as NASSCOM, promote the enormous business value add brought by the effective use of data insights in India. In your expert opinion, what predictions can you share about this dynamic space in the next 2- 3 years?
Government and Other institution participation: The HRD and other academic bodies would come together to see how analytics and big data education and grooming can be incorporated as main stream something which has already initiated like IIMs and IITS having diploma programs. Additionally Statistics and Mathematics courses would gain more importance in undergrad programs and education.
Employee engagement: more and more individuals would want to start and focus on analytics and big data as career option.
Mergers and Acquisitions: Initial mergers and acquisitions events would be seen in the next couple of years. In the last 5 years there has been many start-ups and ventures have been setup as analytics and big data specialists firms. These events would improve the consolidation and create distinguished providers who specialise certain niche areas of analytics value chain.

Like other nonfiction writers, the Literary Journalist seeks to convey information, but her approach to craft results in a far deeper sense of enjoyment for the reader. The prose entices us to see in a new way, to grasp meaning beyond the story itself.
In her narrative, the Literary Journalist delights in selecting just the right word or metaphor that will entertain, while providing unexpected illumination. We agonize over sentences, but our struggle is never exposed to the reader.
Literary Journalism combines good research with character-driven storytelling. Then we kick it up a notch by engaging the reader's senses, providing cinematic details and orienting the story's time, space and circumstance. Our reader becomes invested, stitched into the very fabric of the narrative.
Tools used by the Literary Journalist – sequence, arc, engine, tension, character-defining elements, suspense, pacing and voice – are carefully calculated to captivate the reader's imagination. The quality of syntax and diction are distinguishing features of Literary Journalism.
Our fact-based storytelling is so compelling that it keeps the reader reading, but not only for the usual purpose, which is often to find out what happens next. The mark of success is that the reader truly does not want the experience to end.
Literary Journalism's primary purpose is informed pleasure.
I received a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Nonfiction from Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland (2013), and a master's degree in Creative Writing (2009) and bachelor's degree in Communications (1983) from Florida State University. I'm currently working on two commissioned projects as well as a collection of essays. When I'm not writing, you may find me in stride on one of my hometown's canopied greenways or practicing Pilates on my new "Yogo" mat.
My husband, Jim, and I live in Northwest Florida with our yellow Labrador, Lily Belle.

A Lecture by Julia Adeney Thomas: The Historian's Task in the Anthropocene
Date: 5:00pm PDT March 19 Location: Albany Quadrangle, Smith Hall
Julia Adeney Thomas, Associate Professor History, University of Notre Dame
Alan Thomas
Albany Quadrangle, Smith Hall
The Historian's Task in the Anthropocene
If our future looks nothing like our past because of climate change, why bother with history? That's the central question of this talk. Earth System scientists are saying that we've entered a new geological epoch, an unprecedented condition, they're calling "the Anthropocene." Thomas explores what this means scientifically and the challenge it poses to historical practice. Then, turning to Japan, she will propose a new form of critical history as we move from modernity's promise of freedom and abundance to the more modest goal of sustainability with decency.
Julia Adeney THOMAS grew up in the coal country of southwest Virginia where the mountains now suffer from strip-mining and mountaintop removal. Because of her love of those mountains, even as an intellectual historian she has retained a sharp interest in environmental and aesthetic questions. She writes on concepts of nature, political theory, historiography, and photography in Japan and comparatively. Her publications include Reconfiguring Modernity: Concepts of Nature in Japanese Political Ideology (winner of the AHA John K. Fairbank Prize), Japan at Nature's Edge and Rethinking Historical Distance as well as more than forty essays including "History and Biology in the Anthropocene" and "Photography, National Identity, and the 'Cataract of Times'" in the American Historical Review. Her current projects include Visualizing Fascism: The Twentieth-Century Rise of the Global Right (forthcoming, Duke), The Anthropocene (co-authored with geologists Jan Zalasiewicz and Mark Williams, under contract, Polity) and The Historian's Task in the Anthropocene (under contract with Princeton University Press.) Educated at Princeton, Oxford, and Chicago, she taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Wisconsin–Madison before joining Notre Dame's history department.
This lecture is financially assisted by the Japan-US Friendship Commission and the Northeast Asia Council of the Association for Asian Studies. It is co-sponsored by the History department and Asian Studies program.

Q: Panda.qcut inside logic of binning I am experimenting with different methods of binning a continuous variable. two methods that I used - qcut and entropy_based_binning method bin_sequence. For testing I created a data with 100 values. I made the data skewed by putting value = 1 for first 50 records, 2 for next few records, 5, 12 for few records and then randomly few numbers.
When I tried to run it with number of bins = 6 it created only 3 bins with qcut method. from pandas documentation it is not clear how it behaves with skewed data. Also, there is very limited information available on entropy based binning. Would appreciate if someone can share details. Pros and cons of each method

A: When using qcut(), it will sort the array, and create bin boundaries based on the values at positions data[(len(data)*index / bin].
In your case, a lot of those values are equal. You should have gotten a warning about that, unless you explicitly told it to "drop" duplicate values by calling pd.qcut(age, q=6, duplicates='drop').
For entropy-based binning, you need a class label. You get bins with boundaries based on age, such that the class in each bin is (ideally) as uniform as possible. In your example, we only have age, so we can't use entropy-based binning.
For your particular setting, I would use qcut(), set the number of bins high enough, tell it to drop duplicates, and see what bins come out of it. One of the bins will have a lot of data in it (the first one), but that can't be helped, since our data is so highly skewed.

Milwaukee Armenian Community Center
Mikhail Loris-Melikov
THIS WEEK IN ARMENIAN HISTORY
(Prepared by the Armenian National Education Committee)
Birth of Count Mikhail Loris-Melikov
Among many Armenian soldiers who served the Russian Empire, the name of Mikhail Loris-Melikov was also relevant for his political labor.
His actual name was Mikayel Loris-Melikian. He was the scion of an ancient noble family from Lori, which owned the province in the Middle Ages. They later entered the aristocratic society of Georgia, and the princely family of the Loris-Melikovs was approved in 1832 as part of the Russian nobility.
Mikhail Loris-Melikov was born on November 2, 1824, in Tiflis (Georgia), and was educated in St. Petersburg, first at the Lazarian Institute of Oriental Languages and afterwards at the Guards' Cadet Institute. In 1843 he joined a hussar regiment and was sent to the Caucasus in 1847. He would spend some thirty years there and make a career both as a distinguished cavalry officer and an able administrator, working to ensure a transition from military to civil administration. He was governor of the region of Terek (nowadays the northeastern Caucasus) from 1863-1875.
Loris-Melikov, who reached the rank of cavalry general in 1875, commanded an army corps on the Ottoman frontier in Asia Minor during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878. He took the fortress of Ardahan and was rebuffed by Ottoman general Ahmed Muhtar Pasha at Zevin, but he subsequently carried a conclusive victory over his opponent at Alaja, took the impregnable fortress of Kars by storm, and laid siege to Erzerum. His distinguished military service in the war earned him the title of Count, and he was awarded the Order of Saint George of the second degree for his service in Alaja in October 1877.
In 1878 Loris-Melikov was transferred to the region of the Lower Volga as temporary governor-general to combat an outbreak of the plague. His effectiveness at the work earned him another transfer, this time to the provinces to Central Russia to combat the terrorist activities of nihilists and anarchists.
He was successful in his task, and he was appointed chief of the Supreme Administrative Commission created in St. Petersburg after an assassination attempt against Czar Alexander II in February 1880. He showed his preference for the use of ordinary legal methods rather than exception extralegal measures, believing that the best policy was to strike at the root of the evil. He recommended a scheme of administrative and economic reforms to the Russian emperor with the aim of alleviating the causes of social discontent. Alexander II, who was not convinced of the efficacy of police repression, dissolved the Supreme Commission in August 1880 and appointed Count Loris-Melikov Interior Minister with exceptional powers in November.
The scheme of reforms was never carried out. On March 13, 1881, the very day that the emperor signed a decree creating several commissions to prepare reforms in various branches of government, he was the victim of a conspiracy by nihilist terrorists. His son and successor Alexander III adopted an anti-reformist policy and started to undo the reforms promulgated by his father. This led Loris-Melikov to resign in May and retire from active life. He wrote several historical and political works, living in Germany and then in Nice (France) until his death on December 24, 1888. His remnants were moved to Tiflis and buried in the courtyard of the Armenian monastery of Tiflis.

Ears inevitably perk up when caffeine is mentioned. For many, caffeine plays such an important daily role that people feel a sense of dependence upon it. The World Health Organization estimates that 47% of the public has at least one headache a year.1 As the preferred stimulant of the global population, caffeine sits in a curious, somewhat dichotomous spot in the arena of headaches. On one hand, caffeine has long been recognized as an effective adjuvant for pain relief. On the other hand, caffeine has been implicated in inducing headaches in people of all ages.
Caffeine's seemingly contradictory effects on headaches is based on its varied metabolic pathways and the causative mechanisms behind the headaches themselves. Caffeine's stimulant action results from it crossing the blood-brain barrier and acting as a competitive inhibitor to adenosine receptors. Adenosine normally suppresses neural activity and increases blood flow to vascular smooth muscle during times of stress. Caffeine blocks this action, allowing neural activity to continue.
The mechanisms of caffeine's inhibitory effects are well understood. As a methylated xanthine, caffeine acts as a competitive nonselective phosphodiesterase inhibitor, raising intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), activating protein kinase A (PKA), inhibiting tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and leukotriene synthesis, and reducing inflammation and innate immunity. However, caffeine also has disinhibitory effects on the brain that are not yet completely understood.2
Caffeine is a common adjuvant ingredient in some of the common OTC analgesics. Examples include Extra Strength Midol®, Anacin®, Excedrin®, and Bayer Select Maximum Strength®. A multicenter study comparing ibuprofen to a combination of acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine found the combination to be more effective than ibuprofen alone.3 It was also noted in this study that at least 65 mg of caffeine were needed to achieve its potentizing effects in combination with analgesics. In contrast, a Cochrane review of 19 comparable studies determined that caffeine at a dose higher than 100 mg produced a slight increase in pain relief that was important to the study participants.4
Caffeine, in amounts varying between 30 mg and 100 mg, has been added to less commonly used prescription medications, such as Cafergot® for migraines, orphenadrine (in combination with aspirin) as a muscle relaxer, and butalbital (in combination with acetaminophen and codeine) as an analgesic.
There is some evidence to suggest that the frequency with which one consumes caffeine may have an effect on headache prevalence. In one study, those who consumed caffeine on a daily basis were more likely to have chronic migraines and analgesic rebound pain than those who did not.5 Another study found that out of 100 children experiencing chronic headaches, approximately one-third of them drank large volumes of soft drinks and were receiving approximately 200 mg of caffeine per day. When the children stopped drinking the soft drinks, the headaches disappeared.6
There is some regulation with regards to caffeine in manufactured drinks. The US Food and Drug Administration limits the maximum caffeine content in a 12-oz soft drink to 71 mg.7 A report in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology examined the caffeine content of 36 drinks that were classified as energy drinks, soft drinks, or "other." All of the soft drinks were within the allowable caffeine range, whereas, not surprisingly, the energy drinks contained approximately twice the amount of caffeine as the soft drinks.8
Another aspect of caffeine's variable effects on individuals involves genetic differences that affect cytochrome P450 enzymes. Caffeine has, on average, a 5-hour half-life and is broken down by the CYP1A2 pathway in the liver and large intestine.9 A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on the CYP1A2 gene (rs762551) can greatly affect a person's tolerance to caffeine, depending on whether they carry the slow metabolizer *1F allele, or the fast metabolizer *1A/1A genotype.10 The frequency of this SNP is not well known but it is good to keep this variable in mind when piecing together our patients' histories and effects of caffeine.
As a clinician, it is also helpful to remember that headaches are not always reported by patients during office visits unless they are the chief complaint. When headaches do occur, patients often self-medicate. Caffeine intake should be watched particularly carefully during pregnancy, where there is an increased risk of spontaneous abortion and incidence of small-for-gestational-age infants born to women consuming more than 150 mg of caffeine a day.8 For any patient, an encouraged awareness of caffeine intake, as well as an educated view of the possible effects of caffeine, will help them navigate a discovery process of the relationship between their headaches and caffeine.
The soft drink industry has found that the average person in the United States consumes 4 mg/kg of caffeine daily. For an average sized 60-kg person, this is 240 mg coming from a variety of sources.10
The average cup of coffee contains between 60 mg and 150 mg of caffeine.
Hershey's Special Dark® chocolate bar contains 20 mg of caffeine.
Two Excedrin Migraine® tablets (the recommended dose) contain 130 mg of caffeine.
A Starbucks Light Frappuccino® with espresso also contains 130 mg of caffeine.
Some foods also contain added caffeine, such as Morning Spark® instant oatmeal and Perky Jerky®, which have hopefully been named appropriately enough to alert those who are sensitive to caffeine to look more closely at the labels.

Riviera Maya Film Festival is a inclusive film festival aimed at inspiring the participation and integration of people into the events, locations and films on display. With locations all across the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, the festival is one of a kind in its active mission to promote not only film and arts, but also ecotourism in the region.
The objective was to create an identity that relate to the film industry in harmony with tourism and the place where it is developed.
Since the festival is an advocate for many things, including its location and it's pre-hispanic heritage, the environment, and the international film industry and community, our inspiration for the logo was drawn from all those properties and more, giving it a deep and well-rounded symbology.
The logo is a comprehensive visualization of a wreath, of two intertwined snakes, of a mayan necklace and of the shape of the sun and its irradiating heat. Staying true to the festival's mission, we designed the stationery and distinct design pieces with eco-friendly and recyclable materials in mind.
The use of color conveys the vitality and energy of the region's natural treasures.

ASL Review – Make Your Voice Heard!
27/11/2019 oaklandsadmin	Leave a comment
A review of the implementation of additional support for learning (ASL) in schools was announced in January 2019.
The review is founded on a continued commitment to a presumption to mainstreaming and on the need to ensure that children and young people's additional support needs are met. This will enable them to reach their full potential, with learning provision that best suits their needs.
The review will be led by Angela Morgan.
She will consider current evidence and engage with a range of people and groups to identify good practice and areas for further improvement in the ways that children and young people with additional support needs progress in their learning.
The review will consider:
how ASL works in practice, across early learning and childcare centres, primary, secondary and special schools (including enhanced provision, services and units)
where children and young people learn within the balance of the provision set out above, recognising that not all authority areas have all of those provisions
the quality of learning and support, including overall achievement and positive destinations achieved post-school
the different approaches to planning and assessment to meet the needs of children and young people
the roles and responsibilities of support staff, teaching staff, leadership role, education authorities and national agencies
the areas of practice which could be further enhanced through better use of current resources to support practice, staffing or other aspects of provision
Review timescales
Angela will gather views and experiences from October to December 2019. It is anticipated that a report with recommendations for next steps will be available in spring 2020.
Angela Morgan's background
Angela brings vast knowledge and experience to this role. She was born in London and has spent over half her life in Scotland. After social work training at the University of London she decided to pursue her profession in the third sector; initially in mental health (in Scotland with SAMH) and later working with children and young people.
She was the Chief Executive of Includem until 2018, and has remained involved in a range of, mostly voluntary activity focused on improving lives. She is a member of the workforce journey group for the Independent Care Review.
Feedback to the review
You can contact Angela to tell her about your own experiences of ASL.
She is particularly keen to hear of examples – small or large – of where things do work well.
If you've had a difficult time, what by contrast has made the difference?
What would you like to see more or less of ?
Where should we best focus efforts for positive change?
All contributions to the review will be treated and respected as anonymous – whether positive or otherwise.

7.75" Saint Teresa Religious Statue Made in Portugal
Hand Painted and Hand Decorated
Measurements: 7.75"H
Two separate miracles of healing were credited to Mother Teresa after her death, which made it possible for her to be canonized as Saint Teresa. The two miracles attributed to Mother Teresa were ones of healing. But the Vatican requires more than someone shouting, "I'm cured!" and thanking Mother Teresa to believe that a miraculous recovery has taken place.
Under Vatican law, the first miracle attributed to a candidate for sainthood means beatification can be conferred. If a second miracle follows, canonization and entry into sainthood can take place. Recognition of her first miracle resulted in Mother Teresa's beatification in 2003. She was canonized on September 4, 2016, as Saint Teresa of Calcutta.

Dominant Social Theme: The economy is perched on a precipice. Let's stimulate. We've stimulated too much. Let's stop. Well, let's slow down anyway. The markets are doing fine.
Free-Market Analysis: Every central bank of note in the world is printing money faster and faster. We don't think this is any coincidence. The world's top bankers seem to want a huge stock market explosion that will make current averages look fairly tame.
What comes after the punch bowl is taken away is a deeply concerning question. But don't think about that now. Just let the good times roll!
This is a Wall Street Party to end all such parties. And you can watch those behind this particular sub-dominant social theme justify it any one of a number of ways.
In Japan, the government suddenly started printing money because it is a new one with "new ideas."
In England, the BOE still prints money in great gouts, and BOE governor Mark Carney has utilized the new "tool" of forward guidance to assure interested parties that the BOE intends to continue its easy money policy for as long as necessary.
In the US, the Fed is supposed to be slowing money printing with a "tapering," but this is a highly questionable pull-back, as Fed officials have signaled, at the same time, that they have no intention of letting markets deflate.
In China, as we can see above, the central bank is once again engaged in a money-printing exercise.
In its annual report, published on Sunday, the Bank for International Settlements based in Basle, Switzerland, warns that with unprecedented stimulus already in place, fresh action from central banks to kick-start growth may do more harm than good, by distorting financial markets and jeopardising stability.
"Unfortunately, central banks cannot do more without compounding the risks they have already created. Monetary stimulus alone cannot put economies on a path to robust, self-sustaining growth, because the roots of the problem preventing such growth are not monetary," said Stephen Cecchetti, head of the bank's monetary and economic department, presenting the report.
On Monday one important benchmark rate rose to its highest level since June, the height of China's credit crunch. The seven day bond repurchase rate hit 8.93% but fell back to 6.56% after the central bank added funds to the banking system.
Analysts are blaming China's current cash crunch on a number of factors. In a process known as "window dressing" banks typically conserve cash at the end of the year to keep their balance sheets looking healthy. However this year they have been doing that in a different financial environment.
Chinese authorities have been trying to discourage excessive lending by curbing official credit lines and slowing government spending. "The banks are being forced to adapt to regulatory changes – so they are being forced to hold additional capital.
Banks that have been used to operating on very easy and loose conditions are now finding that those conditions are starting tighten," said Jeremy Stretch, market strategist at CIBC.
"Authorities are fearing that this is causing a scramble for cash and that is pushing up the rates and so they are being forced to inject some money into the system," he said. In June banks suffered a more serious credit squeeze and the benchmark interbank lending rate jumped to a record 13.4%.
The window dressing is actually being constructed by central bankers themselves in conjunction with the mainstream media. The idea seems to be that central bankers do not want to be too clear about their plans.
The mainstream media is constantly sounding concerns about the looseness of money, and lately, in the West the financial reporting has focused relentlessly on tapering – which simply means that the US Fed will purchase fewer government bonds.
But, in fact, the US central bank along with the other big ones referred to above is not REALLY reducing money flows a great deal.
The tightening talk we're listening to is just for public consumption. The whole system of recovery is based on equity appreciation stimulating employment (which it does ineffectively at best). But if top Western bankers seek this sort of recovery, stimulate they must.
Constantly, we hear they are not. But they are. Always, they are.
The big central banks around the world are all pumping money in unison. The media continues to write about "tightening."
What is being planned are higher market highs. We will always be told that bankers are concernedly moderating money flows. But then, at the first sign of trouble, the taps are turned back on.
In fact, they are never REALLY turned off. And there will always be a reason to push the volume of money even higher.
They are planning a big Wall Street Party. The top men always seem to find reasons to print more. Until the world is swimming in currency.
That's the plan, or so it seems.

Big Opportunity Likely Awaits CB Kelvin Joseph
Nick Eatman

FRISCO, Texas – There's always a silver lining to every situation, especially when your team is in the playoffs and knowing it will host a playoff game either way.
But as the Cowboys prepare for Saturday's game with the Eagles, more Covid-19 news keeps popping up.
On Thursday, the team added two more players and have two more guys miss practice with illnesses. Of those four players, two of which are the starting cornerbacks – Trevon Diggs and Anthony Brown.
For Diggs, missing the game would mean he'd miss out on a final chance to surpass Everson Walls' 40-year-old record for most picks in a season with 11.
But Brown is definitely out for the game, and with that, it means the Cowboys will have a chance to see some young cornerbacks in extensive situations.
Heading that list is rookie cornerback Kelvin Joseph, the Cowboys' second-round pick who has played more here in the last two games.
Joseph started two weeks ago vs. Washington and also played considerably more last week against the Cardinals. In fact, of his 120 defensive snaps this year, 106 have occurred in the last two weeks.
According to his defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, Joseph has taken advantage of these situations before.
"A few weeks ago with Jourdan (Lewis) being out, I thought it really showcased and highlighted Kelvin putting the work in to be ready," Quinn said. "So that moment, you really get a chance to prove yourself. To say 'Alright, in this moment, how's it going to go down, how are you going to be ready?' I thought the work that he's put in allowed himself to say 'When the moment comes, I'll be ready.' It's not the easiest thing to do. You're wanting to go, you're wanting to go, and all you're doing is practice. You're not getting the chances to go. So he had some playtime in the dime packages and others, but having that moment I guess proved the work that he put in about getting ready and playing, and it paid off. He'll get some opportunities for that on Saturday."
And he may not be the only one, especially if both Diggs and Brown are out. While Lewis will likely play and Maurice Canady should get more reps, rookie Nahshon Wright should also get some extra snaps.
Wright has played just 17 of a possible 1,076 defensive snaps this season, and 12 of them occurred two weeks ago in a blowout win vs. Washington. The third-round pick from Oregon State, who does have a touchdown on special teams this year, is another player who could benefit from the extra work in a game that may or may not matter to the Cowboys' playoff seedings.
But as the Cowboys always say, the evaluation process is 365 days a year, and for some of these young corners, Saturday night could be a big step in that very process.

Cowboys Make Plenty Of History In Big 2nd Half
It's hard to keep track of all the different ways the Cowboys hit the record book on Saturday night.
Dak Focused On Playoffs More Than Records
As he jogged to the bench with five touchdown passes under his belt, Dak Prescott figured his coaches and teammates were simply congratulating him on one nice night.
Running Wild: 3 RBs Score, Zeke Hits Milestone
Three running backs scored touchdowns against the Eagles, and that doesn't include Ezekiel Elliott, who rushed for 87 yards.

The Cowboys had three goals heading into Saturday's game and they were able to accomplish all of them.

Tiger Woods needs to deal better with his pain
By David Whitley
Woods, 41, was discovered sitting in his black 2015 Mercedes-Benz at 4:22 a.m. in the 2900 block of Military Trail, apparently unsure of where he was, according to an arrest report released Tuesday morning.
The big news on Day 2 of the latest Tiger Woods crisis was that he was not drunk when he got pulled out of his car and charged with DUI.
"Alcohol was not involved," Wood said in a statement.
That's good, but what was involved?
As usual, we don't truly know. Woods remains a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside a .000 breathalyzer test.
That's what he blew when police woke him up from behind the wheel of his car early Monday morning. Woods said a cocktail of four prescription drugs rendered him a zombie. If you're one of the 2.1 billion people who've seen his mugshot, you probably believe him.
What remains unanswered is the bigger question.
Is Woods addicted to painkillers, or was his Memorial Day misadventure just an unfortunate one-off?
"He needs our help," Jack Nicklaus said.
That's the prevailing sentiment this time around. Unlike the fire hydrant collision that launched the first Great Tiger Crisis, Tiger is not morphing into an international laughingstock.
People feel sorry for him, and that's OK to a point. There is a difference between getting drunk and inadvertently falling under the influence of prescription drugs.
That distinction is lost on a Mercedes AMG S65, of course. All it knew Monday was the driver was in no shape to operate any kind of machinery, whether it was due to Vicodin or Jack Daniels.
Woods is darned lucky he didn't kill himself or somebody else. But saying Woods needs help assumes what happened wasn't a freak occurrence.
That might not be a bad assumption.
"I didn't realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly," Woods said.
That's odd considering he's probably been taking them for months, if not years. He knows the proper dosages and how to avoid turning into a blubbering basket case.
Frankly, if Woods is addicted I wouldn't blame him. The guy is 41 going on 87.
He's had four knee and Achilles surgeries and four back surgeries. He was in such pain before the last one that he couldn't stand for more than 10 minutes.
And he would hardly be the first person rendered helpless by painkillers. Forget high-timers like Steven Tyler and Elvis. Rush Limbaugh and John McCain's wife became addicts, both after back surgery.
Then there's emotional pain. Tiger Crisis No. 1 brought worldwide humiliation. Then he lost the ability to do what he loves.
It's not hard to imagine Woods wandering the halls of his $60 million mansion talking to paintings of Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer deep into the night.
I know, this is really getting into dime-story psychiatrist territory. But real shrinks look at Woods and see an obvious patient.
"Tiger Woods needs a really good psychotherapist," Dr. Keith Ablow wrote Tuesday.
He's a Fox News contributor and says he's treated plenty of celebrities and athletes with Woods' symptoms. He said Tiger hasn't decided whether he's worthy of adulation or derision, probably due to some childhood trauma.
He's always run from that conflict and pain. The relief came through scores of women the first time. Now it's coming through bottles of Torix, Viox, Vicodin and Soloxer.
Woods will never find true relief unless he stops running and faces the problem.
"Eventually, Tiger Woods will have to decide which it will be, for him," Ablow wrote.

We seem to have arrived at that tipping point, though Woods has merely acknowledged that he did something terribly irresponsible and is sorry for it.
"I will do everything in my power to ensure this never happens again," he said.
Only Woods knows how much help he really needs, from Nicklaus on down.
The rest of us can only see that Woods is obviously in pain. And drunk or not, he's not handling it very well.

City of Eugene knew about Kesey Square deed
News by Alex V. CipollePosted on 02/29/2016
[EW will be updating this post as new information becomes available. Last update at 5:40 pm Monday, Feb. 29.]
Did the city of Eugene truly forget or were city officials just hoping the public wouldn't remember?
The city of Eugene was aware of the 1971 deed restriction on Kesey Square well before City Manager Jon Ruiz brought to the City Council a private offer to purchase the public parcel, which is "forever dedicated to the use of the public," in October 2015.
One of Eugene Weekly's observant readers pointed out the obvious in an email this morning. In the Register-Guard article "Revival on the Ropes" dated Dec. 1, 2013, Sherri Buri McDonald writes:
"Because Kesey Square is designated by the city as a public space not a park, it is not subject to the more restrictive park rules," [Sgt. Larry] Crompton said.
The area's designation as public space dates back at least to the early 1970s when the downtown pedestrian mall was built, said Laura Hammond, spokeswoman for the city's planning and development department. In 1971, Eugene's Urban Renewal Agency officially transferred ownership of the site to the city. The site was 'forever dedicated to the use of the public,' according to the deed."
The full article can be found here. Hammond, however, tells EW the following:
"The first sentence of the second paragraph is attributed to me – which sounds right. To my knowledge, the following sentence regarding the deed was not provided by me. Sherri must have found that information on her own. While I probably read the article back in 2013, I didn't remember the deed information from that time. It came to my attention most recently when the Register-Guard asked about it."
In the past few weeks, many councilors did not respond to requests of whether they knew the deed existed. In a Feb. 16 email to EW, Mayor Kitty Piercy responded to the question of whether she was aware of the deed:
"It would have been good if we had received a memo on this prior to it being discovered by the R-G and actually prior to council deciding to take a look at the merits of the application for development." (See full story, "Kesey Square: Forever dedicated to public space?" here)
Piercy was quoted in the R-G with a similar statement Feb. 16:
"It certainly adds a new twist to the discussion," she said. "It would have been helpful to have had that information earlier, and I am glad we have it before any council deliberation occurs."
So what exactly is going on here?
This morning, Feb. 29, EW asked for the mayor's comment once more on this "revelation" that the city actually was well aware of the deed.
Mayor Piercy responded:
"Yes I was unaware or did not remember any council discussion of the deed, but of course we had not even begun discussion where it would have been brought up. I do remember the park discussion although council never moved forward with the park idea."
It should be noted that EW asked the mayor if she was aware of the deed prior to Feb. 16, not if there there had been any City Council discussion on the deed. When EW asked for clarification on this point, the mayor responded:
"Sometimes I think I must be speaking another language. I will try again.
1. I did not know about the deed.
2. It is likely that when we had a work session, staff would have shared the information about the deed and it is likely that council would have asked.
3. I stated I would have liked to have known this before it broke in the RG.
4. I think the deed restrictions change the discussion.
I cannot think how I could be clearer. "
Yet EW found a public Facebook post Piercy made on Dec. 1, 2013, sharing the R-G article that discusses the deed restriction on Kesey Square. See screenshot below. Piercy responded to EW about this Facebook post saying: "That's interesting. I don't recall it but as you see the information was out there."
Did City Manager Jon Ruiz know of the 1971 deed restriction when he recommended City Council look at a proposal to privatize Kesey Square and put a building in its place and not inform the council? Did the City Council know? It's clear that city employee Laura Hammond — a communications and policy analyst for the city and spokesperson for city planner Nan Laurence — knew of some of the history of Kesey Square since 1970.
Additionally, if the city knew about the deed as early as 2013, why did the city issue a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEIs) in late November including the option of "sale or lease for private development"? Three separate, private groups submitted proposals, investing time and money, for a piece of public land that had a deed restriction that it seems they were not informed about.
[Above: City Council, Mayor Kitty Piercy and Denny Braud, the city's community development division manager, discuss Kesey Square publicly for the first time during a work session Feb. 22.]
As the deed states that Kesey Square is forever dedicated to the use of the public, the public has a right to know who knew what when about the 1971 deed restriction and why the city of Eugene would consider private proposals for the space when at least some of its staff were aware of the restrictions in place.

Cape Town rolls out free Wi-Fi in public buildings
Sixty-one public buildings in the City of Cape Town will have free Wi-Fi by the end of June 2015, the executive mayor of the city, Patricia de Lille has announced.
Wi-Fi will be provided inside public buildings via the City's 102 SmartCape computer facilities and externally via 61 public access hotspots in places where the public usually queue for services, according to De Lille.
The external public amenities include clinics, administration buildings, traffic departments, fire stations and public transport interchanges in areas such as Langa, Nyanga, Uitsig, Valhalla Park, Athlone and Atlantis.
In a statement De Lille said each access point will cost the City between R60 000 and R100 000 to install. "Our 102 internal public access facilities are situated inside the City's libraries, where we currently have 679 729 registered users,' she said.
The public will be able to access free Wi-Fi at the Bellville, Robbie Nurocklinic and Khayelitsha Site B Youth clinics by the end of December this year. Members of the public visiting the Hillstar and Plumstead administrative buildings and the Mitchells Plain and Nyanga switching centres will also be able to enjoy free Wi-Fi by the end of this year as well.
De Lille said the city of Cape Town is partnering with three commercial service providers – MWEB, Internet Solutions and Orange – to expand internet connectivity to previously disadvantaged communities across the city.
"The partnership with Orange is a first for the Paris-based international telecommunications giant in South Africa; they will offer a free 200 MB data bundle per day. Internet Solutions will offer a free data bundle of 50 MB per day, while MWEB will provide an uncapped data bundle for the trial period,' said De Lille.
This digital inclusion project forms is part of the City's R1.3-billion seven-year broadband network strategy. The City has a vision to become "the first truly digital city in Africa', according to De Lille.
"Our brand new Wi-Fi provision has been made possible by the City's investment in broadband fibre optic networks in line with its City's Universal Broadband Network strategy, which is geared towards rolling out broadband infrastructure throughout the metro,' said De Lille, adding that by expanding broadband infrastructure, the City is well on the way to realising its vision of facilitating access to high-speed internet in order to support economic development and expand opportunities to residents.
In addition, the City is mulling providing Wi-Fi on MyCiTi buses and, already, the City is in the process of conducting a pilot project with an external service provider. "We will also be accelerating the digital inclusion project by providing broadband access through the Bandwidth Barn at Lookout Hill,' added De Lille.
The public Wi-Fi project demonstrates the City's commitment to provide broadband connectivity to all citizens, opening up opportunities in the process, according to De Lille.
"Broadband connectivity and digital inclusion are fundamental to creating an enabling environment for business development, economic growth and social cohesion. Our new public Wi-Fi provision is a prime example of how the private sector, government and the public can make progress possible, together,' said De Lille.

BOLD-100 Significantly Outperforms Remdesivir Head-to-Head in SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Model
Bold Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, recently generated additional data supporting rapid clinical development of BOLD-100 as a novel antiviral. In a series of experiments conducted by Dr. Stephen Barr, Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Western University, both BOLD-100 and remdesivir were tested head-to-head in a cytopathic effect assay against a live Wuhan strain of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in Vero E6 cells. Consistent with prior experiments, BOLD-100 showed low nanomolar IC50 values, a magnitude lower (1/10th) than the IC50 values of Gilead's remdesivir, the only currently approved therapeutic for COVID-19. This data clearly demonstrates that BOLD-100 is a highly potent antiviral agent.
BOLD-100 is a first-in-class ruthenium-based small molecule drug which selectively inhibits stress-induced upregulation of the chaperone protein GRP78. In cancer, GRP78 plays a critical role in resistance, survival and proliferation, whereas in viral infections, GRP78 plays a critical role in host recognition, viral entry and viral replication. There are now more than two hundred independent academic articles highlighting the critical role that GRP78 plays in viral infections (e.g. Ha DP, Van Krieken R, Carlos AJ, Lee AS. The stress-inducible molecular chaperone GRP78 as potential therapeutic target for coronavirus infection. J Infect. 2020 Sep;81(3):452–82.).
This empirical data on BOLD-100 as an antiviral is supported by additional work carried out by Bold Therapeutics' other COVID-19 Consortium members including Franois Jean, PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology and founder of the UBC Facility for Infectious Disease and Epidemic Research (FINDER); Ted Steiner, MD, Professor and Division Head, Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of British Columbia; Marc-Andr Langlois, Faculty Professor of Medicine at the University of Ottawa and Canada Research Chair in Molecular Virology and Intrinsic Immunity; and Len Seymour, PhD, Director of Clinical Pharmacology at the University of Oxford. Bold Therapeutics is also collaborating with international researchers at McMaster University, the University of Southern California, the University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown University, Queens University Belfast, the University of Vienna, and the Medical University of Vienna, among others who are collectively advancing our understanding of both the GRP78 pathway and BOLD-100's selective inhibition of stress-induced GRP78.
"Bold Therapeutics' ongoing collaboration with some of the top virologists in Canada continues to produce independent data supporting BOLD-100 as a novel antiviral

Tesla Model X Range Increased?
While most of the attention on Tesla's vehicle lineup today was on the Model S due to a $3,000 price cut, there may be an interesting development happening for the Model X as well. Tesla Motors Club forum member ColdWeatherEV recently took delivery of a brand new Model X and shared some details about the vehicle in a post on the forum.
"I just took delivery of a 2021 Model X, VIN 308XXX, and I was surprised to see that the EPA Monroney sticker lists the range at 371 miles," writes the user. The Monroney sticker is a required label in the US for all new vehicles and contains official information about the car.
On Tesla's website, the currently-listed EPA range for the Long Range Plus Model X is just 351 miles, 20 miles lower than the range listed on the Monroney sticker of this new delivery. While this is just one source, the user did share images of the Monroney sticker.
Tesla has a history of rolling out updates without announcement, so a longer range Model X is not outlandish. If 371 miles of range is accurate, it would represent a nearly 6% gain. Tesla's online design studio will be closely watched over the coming days, especially as updates to the Model 3 trickle out.
For more on Tesla, including a rating upgrade by the S&P and the company's entrance into India, please see the included video and be sure to follow Tesla Daily on The Street.

Computer model uses virus 'appearance' to better predict winter flu strains — ScienceDaily
Combining genetic and experimental data into models about the influenza virus can help predict more accurately which strains will be most common during the next winter, says a study published recently in eLife.
The models could make the design of flu vaccines more accurate, providing fuller protection against a virus that causes around half a million deaths each year globally.
Vaccines are the best protection we have against the flu. But the virus changes its appearance to our immune system every year, requiring researchers to update the vaccine to match. Since a new vaccine takes almost a year to make, flu researchers must predict which flu viruses look the most like the viruses of the future.
The gold-standard ways of studying influenza involve laboratory experiments looking at a key molecule that coats the virus called haemagglutinin. But these methods are labour-intensive and take a long time. Researchers have focused instead on using computers to predict how the flu virus will evolve from the genetic sequence of haemagglutinin alone, but these data only give part of the picture.
"The influenza research community has long recognised the importance of taking into account physical characteristics of the flu virus, such as how haemagglutinin changes over time, as well as genetic information," explains lead author John Huddleston, a PhD student in the Bedford Lab at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Molecular and Cell Biology Program at the University of Washington, Seattle, US. "We wanted to see whether combining genetic sequence-only models of influenza evolution with other high-quality experimental measurements could improve the forecasting of the new strains of flu that will emerge one year down the line."
Huddleston and the team looked at different components of virus 'fitness' — that is, how likely the virus is to thrive and continue to evolve.
A Look At The Micro-Fulfillment Model And The Future Of Grocery Retail
CMO of PULSE, the robotics and technology company. Recognized Thought Leader in strategy, retail, e-commerce and micro-fulfillment.
In an effort to more cost-effectively fulfill online grocery orders for its customers, Amazon has opened a "dark store," which is more of a warehouse than a store. Located in Brooklyn, New York, Amazon's dark store will be a good test of the concept to determine how big of a role the stores will play as the company accelerates investment in the grocery ecosystem.
Amazon is confronted with many of the same challenges as its grocery competitors, like Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons and Ahold Delhaize. Among the challenges is how to meet the increasing demand for online grocery ordering and delivery.
On the surface, fulfilling online grocery orders appears to be a fairly simple and straightforward process. It's not. Consumers purchase a wide variety of products, resulting in a mixture of small, medium and large orders, ranging from a few products to 50 or more items.
Prior to Covid-19, 4.3% of grocery sales were online. Online grocery sales currently account for 10.2% of all grocery sales. The increased volume of orders, when combined with the large variance of products that need to be picked to fulfill each individual order, has significantly increased costs and complexity.
The Costs And Complexity Challenges
Unlike other industries where economies of scale decrease the cost per unit with increasing scale (volume of orders), the cost to fulfill online orders remains constant when using a store's staff or third-party labor to fulfill an order. Based on my own research, and research from consulting firms that specialize in analyzing the grocery industry, the cost to pick, prepare and deliver an online grocery order is between $10 and $25, with most deliveries averaging $11 to $12.

While most of the men got down to work on the wireless mast, the irrepressible Frank Hurley had other ideas.
Mawson, perhaps disingenuously, wrote in The Home of the Blizzard that Hurley had accidentally left an indispensable cine lens at Caroline Cove and had to journey overland to recover it. Archibald McLean felt it was a 'rather fortunate accident'. Hurley later admitted he had left his lens there, carefully wrapped in a waterproof cloth, to provide an excuse to revisit this photographer's paradise.
En route to and from Caroline Cove, in an arduous three-day 80-mile walk in fog and rain, Hurley and his companions observed and recorded much of the island. They returned laden down with scientific trophies, including king penguin eggs and a wandering albatross. And a priceless collection of photographic images.
