Since 2008, conservative policymakers have prescribed austerity as a panacea to the beleaguered economies of Europe. Wolfgang Schäuble, German Minister of Finance, has largely been the face of the greater Eurozone push for austerity, writing up an op-ed in the Financial Times justifying its merits.
Former UK Prime Minister David Cameron described it as ensuring "sound finances" in an effort to save "money today that you might need tomorrow." The Union for a Popular Movement Party of France (UMP; renamed in 2015 as "The Republicans") under former President Nicolas Sarkozy signed off numerous austerity measures while in power.
Eurozone members struggling with large debt-to-GDP ratios, most notably Greece, were effectively forced into jumping aboard the austerity train as well.
What was the result? Utter disaster. In France, austerity policies were so detested that the UMP lost the 2012 elections to the Socialists, who largely ran against it (never mind the fact that the elected President, Francois Hollande, adopted an austerity agenda two years into office, one of the drivers of his astoundingly dismal 4% approval rating).
In the United Kingdom, now led by Prime Minister Theresa May, austerity has been so despised that her country has gone from confidently being declared a one-party state to the Conservatives losing their Parliamentary majority in this year's elections. The backlash has paid handsomely for Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn, who has brought his party's agenda back to its social democratic roots for the first time in decades.
The Troika (IMF, European Commission, and European Central Bank)'s coerced imposition of austerity in Greece has been so disastrous that they've easily replaced playwrights Aeschylus, Euripides, and Sophocles as the most famed creators of Greek tragedy. They've needed three bailouts, weathered an economic contraction of over 20%, and endured the humiliation of becoming the first-ever country to be demoted from developed nation to emerging market status. Moreover, the anger toward austerity has been a pivotal driver of the rise of far-right nationalist parties. For example, French National Front leader Marine Le Pen drastically improved the performance of her party by garnering the support of young voters, a demographic that has seen their unemployment rates swell from austerity programs.
Austerity has even jeopardized the state of the post-war Western ideal of greater economic, political, and social integration as millions of Europeans turn their economic disenchantment into outrage toward international institutions like the EU, IMF, and World Bank, all of which through their endorsement of neoliberal economics have continued to prescribe more and more austerity, foolishly thinking it will cure their pain. At the end of the day, "austerian" economic policy appears to be tearing apart the continent.

At the end of the day, "austerian" economic policy appears to be tearing apart the continent.
So what is austerity, and why has it produced such dismal results? The answer to these questions requires a return to the economic collapse in 2008, as, without it, there would be no crisis for conservative policymakers to "fix" with austerity programs. In the early days of the crisis, Western economies actually responded with some kind of stimulus – a program in which the government seeks to combat economic recession by increasing national expenditures while cutting taxes.
The general rationale behind this was based on two pillars. First, interest rates across the entire Western world were either at or near zero, making it near impossible to use monetary policy to cure the economy. The essential logic behind this is that when national financial institutions like the European Central Bank and the Bank of England reduce the interest rates on money they loan out, it results in a reduction of borrowing costs. As a result, private businesses and consumers would be encouraged to borrow and invest more, whether it is used for housing, factories, and other forms of capital. By increasing their spending, they would be able to combat a recession, which by definition leads to consumers and businesses to invest way less into the economy (in a crisis, you're more likely to save your money fearful you will lose it all).
As that was clearly not an option, policymakers went toward a stimulus package. The federal government would boost its own spending in the government, including in infrastructure, education, and energy. This investment would be used to combat the shortfall of spending that is seen in a recession.
Moreover, tax cuts would be used to give families and businesses more money so that they could hopefully spend some of it. Before long, we saw the US$831 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in the United States, the €200 billion European Economic Recovery Plan across the European Union, a US$30 billion stimulus package in the United Kingdom, a €50 billion stimulus in Germany, and plenty of other fiscal expansions.
By fall 2009, however, we began to see a surge in right-wing economists becoming fearful of the massive increases in deficits they were seeing in Western budgets. As a result, they called for an end to stimulus and a shift toward austerity – an economic program focused on deficit reduction, completed by reducing spending and raising taxes.
By cutting deficits, they hoped to increase businesses' confidence in the economy. International institutions like the World Bank, European Central Bank, and International Monetary Fund, both of which had seen their ranks grow with neoliberal economists since the 1980s, began to join their calls. By late 2010, almost every European government had ended stimulus programs in favor of austerity.
But why did this happen? It's worth noting that Keynesian stimulus programs have plenty of enemies. For one, right-wingers love to hate them. Remember, stimulus requires an increase of spending and budget deficits, both of which are in complete opposition to conservative agendas. Austerity programs, with their mandatory spending reductions, are very useful in creating public support toward cutting government benefits (a core conservative goal). The problem, however, is that there is very little public backing for this (see the US attempt to cut back on insurance subsidies and single-payer insurance for the poor or the UK's public sector pay freeze), meaning that austerity practically provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure spending cuts.
Moreover, because most voters believe that government spending operates similarly to their own budgets, it's easy for politicians to decry increases in government spending as "reckless" or "dangerous", or in former Prime Minister David Cameron's case, "selfish." It's not their fault – it's easy to think that there is a finite limit to how much the government can spend. Yet that's not the case at all.
Most Western governments can actually borrow almost infinitely at extremely low rates (in July 2016, the 10-year German bond rate was -0.15%!), and countries that borrow in their own currencies (like the United Kingdom) can never run out of money because they can simply print it (within reason). Yet the negative image of stimulus creating dangerous levels of spending worked (and still does).
US President Barack Obama counted cutting the deficit by two-thirds as one of his novel accomplishments. The very first page of the Labour Party's 2015 Manifesto declared that the first line of their first budget would be "this budget cuts the deficit every year." Syriza, a Greek party vehemently opposed to austerity, ended up signing a bailout deal that mandated it. It also didn't help that in many countries, left-wing parties were in power as the economic crisis was raging, making it easier for conservatives to blame them and their policies for the financial crisis.
When even the left is fighting upon the right's terms for economic policy, it's clear what would win out. Even when combined with support from just about every international economic institution (e.g. IMF, World Bank, ECB), however, this force paled in comparison to the woes of one nation: Greece.
Greece was one of the greatest blessings for conservative messaging. As a nation which had been hiding its budget deficits until former Prime Minister George A. Papandreou found out about it, Greece was plagued by a national culture of tax evasion. Since Greece also had no ability to print its own money (it uses the Euro, which is controlled by the European Central Bank), it increasingly found itself needing "bailouts" from the Troika (IMF, World Bank, ECB).
The quotation marks are telling – these "bailouts" were nothing more than short-term payment relief for Greece, as while the Troika paid off Greece's debts to private creditors, the government still needed to pay that amount to them. They were also required to implement austerity. The key here, however, was that the entire fiscal crisis Greece was experiencing was "proof" of what would occur if spending was left out of control. By associating stimulus programs with causing these types of situations, voters were misled to go against them. And so stimulus programs, which were beginning to work but hadn't reached their full potential, came to a halt.
In countries that implemented austerity, disaster struck. This was exactly what happened in the 1980s when austerity was implemented in the Third World (and why South America hates the IMF and World Bank). See, once spending cuts are implemented, a government ends up investing less money into the economy. Less investment equals lower growth, meaning that the economy contracts as a result.
A smaller economy means fewer taxes can be collected, which can yield several different impacts depending on the economy. In some austerity programs, taxes are also hiked, meaning that the deficit is reduced, but your economy is still as a whole weaker. In others, greater tax revenue isn't collected (either there is a conservative push against any increases or pervasive tax evasion), which means that your debt hasn't meaningfully changed (could be higher or lower depending on interest payments or the amount of money focused on deficit reduction), but your debt-to-GDP ratio has gone up because of a contraction.
Even though John Maynard Keynes theorized that a one-time cooling of fiscal policy would only lead to a one-time weakening of the economy, repeated austerity programs make this effect worse.
Unemployment goes up as the government cuts its spending (both as a result of them getting rid of public sector jobs and businesses feeling less confident in investing since nobody else is), which contributes to the horrific youth unemployment rates in European economies today (9 European nations today have youth unemployment rates higher than 20%, with Italy at 37%, Spain at 38.6%, and Greece at 46.6%.
Even the Eurozone average is at 18.9%). Looking at this and it's no surprise the young are most likely to buy into far-right populist agendas. Marine Le Pen, whose home nation of France had a 21.6% unemployment rate, had no trouble getting the support of millions of disaffected French youth by promising the government's help in getting them jobs. Now that the center-left has joined conservatives in increasingly abandoning fiscal expansion and government assistance in reducing unemployment, the far right – which, in their hatred of austerity and promises of providing jobs – is paradoxically the most economically progressive.
We've already seen how Francois Hollande's center-left administration implemented austerity measures, but there's more: the center-left German Social Democratic Party (who is currently in coalition with the center-right Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union) also supports it. It's actually not at all surprising that the center-left is having so much trouble winning elections – they've effectively signed away their base to what is considered the "far left" (think Jeremy Corbyn and Jean-Luc Melenchon) and the "far right."
Remember Jeremy Corbyn-led Labour's shock gains in seats? What about Bernie Sanders' status as the most popular politician in the United States? Both of them, considered part of the "far left" (never mind the fact that our political fulcrum has shifted so much since the 1980s that both of them are around the norm for social democratic parties from 1930 to 1970), gain their popularity away from disaffected members that used to vote reliably for center-left parties. In the 2017 French election, the center-left garnered just 6.36% of the vote, shedding their support almost entirely to the far left and the far right.
Austerity is harmful to health too. Remember all those public spending cuts? Almost every European democracy currently has a universal health care system, ranging anywhere from the government paying most of the health bills to controlling the entire sector.
In 2013, David Stuckler, a leading expert on health economics (with masters in public health from Yale and a PhD from Cambridge), and Sanjay Basu, an assistant professor of medicine and epidemiologist at Stanford University, found that in Europe and North America, austerity program implementation was linked to over 10,000 additional suicides and a million additional cases of depression.
Greece is one of the most, but also serves to show the horrors of when austerity is rammed through: with public health spending dropping by more than 40%, and a 60% rise in "economic" suicides (from one of the lowest in Europe to one of the highest).
By contrast, if this entire experiment was just avoided, and stimulus programs were implemented normally, we could see something similar to the 1930s New Deal in the US – where every $100 per capita led to 20 fewer deaths per 1,000 births, 4 fewer suicides per 100,000 people, and 18 fewer pneumonia deaths per 100,000 people.
Obviously, deficit spending shouldn't continue forever. Spending cuts, just like interest rate hikes, should be used when the economy is doing well. During a boom, it's always important to stay prepared for the next downturn (which will likely result in more deficit spending), so budget balancing is useful there.
These policies, however, should never be used in weak economies, which simply don't have the strength to deal with the economic cooling associated with austerity. The recession might be "over", but for millions of millennials, it's still very real – especially since a substantial segment of them remains ignored by cost-cutting austerity programs.

...trusted, tough minded investors that will support strong management teamsAs compared to who...what? He continues:
There are not many wholly new areas to open up in economic policy. But in recent months there has been a wave of innovative proposals directed at improving economic performance in general, and middle class incomes in particular - not through government actions but through mandates or incentives to change business decision making. The goal is for companies and shareholders to operate with longer horizons and to more generously share the fruits of their corporate success with their workers customers and other stakeholders.When the "benevolent wisdom" of one's political leaders isn't sufficient for mutually shared prosperity, the benevolent wisdom of "tough minded investors" will suffice, I suppose. In this well meaning but misguided article, one also finds "mandates to level the playing field". Ouch...no. Notice also the stated (good?) intention of improving middle class incomes, as opposed to seeking more sustainable economic flows overall. At least Summers was honest. But further mandates for business directives is not what one wants to do even more of.
The recent mandates that already exist in terms of legal and financial requirements, are making business start ups an endangered species in many areas of the U.S. This leaves job seekers everywhere overly reliant on city markets and older firms for most job opportunities. There needs to be more accessible forms of business formation - not less - so that regions with limited access to international markets will once again have a chance to participate. Is this growing desire to "shore up" the middle class going to mean even more threadbare economic regions? Why not generate simpler and more accessible business formation, instead?
Also, much depends on the resources at stake. For the most part tradable goods sectors are already well structured and capable of benefiting from economies of scale. Even so, tradable goods production has to quickly respond to changes in marketplace conditions around the world. Not every bet that CEOs make can turn out well, as should be all too clear. Consequently, tradable sectors are not well positioned to make broad distributional promises over the long run, when marketplace circumstance can sometimes change in an instant. Timing for this sort of discussion on Summer's part must seem odd indeed, for CEOs of commodities whose prices have been gradually declining.
None of this is to suggest that long term investment issues aren't a problem, especially with growing concerns regarding Social Security and Medicare in the U.S. However, the main issues are mostly due to the lack of flexibility for investment options (time, money and other resources) in non tradables sectors. Where long range outcomes matter most - if indeed discussions about long-termism actually apply - are the places where people work and live.
Local economies have good reason to take part in long term planning, because doing so would provide strategies for not just the investment of resource capacity, but also local educational strategies. Non tradable business formation needs a chance to evolve into decentralized forms of organization, which are capable of including more participants at the outset.
Fortunately I wrote most of this post, before reading John Cochrane's response to Larry Summer's article. It was definitely worth the wait, hence I'm hard pressed to choose quotes to include. Here goes:
But just who other than the government is going to mandate mandates, incentivize incentives, alter behaviors, impose "robust minimum wages," enact the tax incentives to spur profits sharing, do the regulating aspects of pay and so on?Oh dear, it just gets better. Cochrane includes the quote where Summers waxes so eloquently about the "cadre of trusted, tough minded investors" that one could easily fall into a swoon. Cochrane responds:
Where is this cadre (!) of investors going to come from? How are these wise people going to impose the long list of things Larry recommends that only governments can do, including minimum wages, tax incentive, and pay regulation? Just who if not the government is this "crucial challenge" for?Before all the Mars creatures show up to bail us out - or at least to help governments "help" businesses, maybe it's time for mere earth mortals to have a place at the table for long term economic growth. Governments will doubtless continue to help themselves. Tradables sectors should still be able to do the same, in spite of a downgraded growth forecast around the world. On the other hand...continued marketplace success on the part of non tradables sectors? Not so much. In this instance, give people the chance to learn how to take care of themselves. Granted, it's not something that governments are willing to do. Just the same - for the sake of long term growth and a more prosperous world - it's time to try.

Fiat Chrysler plans to spend more than 5 billion euros ($5.7 billion) on new models and engines in Italy over the next three years to try to make better use of factories and boost jobs and margins. The plans are intended to deliver on a strategy outlined by FCA's late boss Sergio Marchionne in June, in which he made a commitment to keep converting Italian plants to churn out higher margin Alfa Romeos, Jeeps and Maseratis and hybrid and electric versions of its vehicles to protect jobs and lift profitability. The company will launch a total of 13 new models or restylings of existing models in the 2019-2021 period and ensure that all plants in Italy reach full employment, FCA's new European head Pietro Gorlier told unions and journalists in Fiat's hometown of Turin on Thursday.
Home Stocks Today FCAU Fiat Chrysler to spend 5 billion euros in Italy to fill plants,...
this is a very good example as I have said before about FCA they are looking to keep their auto plants open while GM is shutting all theirs down. This company seeks to grow, GM seeks to profit through less costs by making employees pay with redundancy
fca is very good for trying to grow their business, gm is looking to stable profits

Earlier this evening I had the opportunity to lie back, close my eyes, and listen to some music. No videos, no distractions, just the music. As I lay there, it occurred to me that simply enjoying music (or art, for that matter) is not something that we do often.
The very next thought that popped into my head was "That almost sounds profound! I should post it on Facebook!" Then I realized that this was a rather odd compulsion- why did I feel the need to blast out every event in my life to my friends? I'm not yet that old, but I'm old enough to remember a time before Facebook, and I don't recall life working quite this way.
The third thought was that my second thought had proven more profound than the first, so I decided I should write a blog post. This behavior is insidious.
Regardless, now that I'm here, I want to think a little about why we do what we do on Facebook. A while back, a friend posted a link to a very interesting article in Business Insider on keys to lasting relationships. One of those keys is the idea of "bidding" for your spouse's attention, as described below:
For example, say that the husband is a bird enthusiast and notices a goldfinch fly across the yard. He might say to his wife, "Look at that beautiful bird outside!" He's not just commenting on the bird here: he's requesting a response from his wife — a sign of interest or support — hoping they'll connect, however momentarily, over the bird.
The wife now has a choice. She can respond by either "turning toward" or "turning away" from her husband, as Gottman puts it. Though the bird-bid might seem minor and silly, it can actually reveal a lot about the health of the relationship. The husband thought the bird was important enough to bring it up in conversation and the question is whether his wife recognizes and respects that.
This article is very interesting to me because I see a form of this occurring outside of marital relationships.
I used to see this all the time when hanging out with my friends. We'd talk, play games, and have a good time. One thing however that I noticed is that we'd play this weird little social game of "one-upsmanship" in our conversation. For example, I would mention something new that I was excited about. My friend would acknowledge what I had said, but then change the subject to something new that he was excited about.
In Gottman's terms, I had made a "bid" for attention- I had brought up something that I was excited about, and given my friend an opportunity to join in that excitement. Instead, they chose to offer their own "bid" and invite me to join in what excited them. Don't get me wrong, I did this too, and I doubt there was anything malicious or intentional about it (we weren't the most thoughtful bunch)- it was just a pattern I observed, and it was uncomfortable.
Perhaps if we both had been less selfish the relationship would have been deepened. C'est la vie. It now serves as a reminder for me to keep an eye on my own selfishness as well as an illustration of how these "bids" can be made amongst friends.
Now armed with this understanding of social "bidding", or "bids for attention", I think we can apply the same concept to Facebook. People such as you or I who post status updates are making bids for our friends' attention in the form of comments or "likes." I don't think that this is necessarily a bad thing. Requesting (and reciprocating) attention is an important part of relationships.
But why seek attention on Facebook instead of in person? Surely the attention from someone you're with is worth more than a count of how many people "liked" your bid- unless that's the only way.
I don't want to go into too much detail on this tonight, but recently I've woken up to the fact that much of my life has been and is still spent alone. I live alone, I work alone, many nights I relax alone. Back in college, aside from hanging out on Saturdays, most of my time was spent working or studying- alone. When I feel the need to cry out into the void of aloneness, Facebook offers the hope that someone might hear that cry.
I wonder if we Facebook so much because we're lonely?
I wonder if that's why some people write blogs?


text: Cape Town - Proteas speedster Dale Steyn has equalled Shaun Pollock as the highest wicket-taker in South African Test history.LIVE: Sri Lanka v Proteas - 1st Test, Day 3The 35-year-old took one wicket on the first day of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle on Thursday, taking his total tally to 420 wickets. Playing in first Test since injuring his heel against January, Steyn struck in the 32nd over when he had Kusal Mendis (24) caught by Kagiso Rabada at mid-on. That, though, was his only success in Sri Lanka's first innings. The milestone wicket came on Day 3 when he had Lakshan Sandakan, the final Sri Lankan wicket to fall in their second innings, caught by Temba Bavuma at point for six, to reach the magical 421 mark.Steyn now needs one more scalp to make the record his own, but will have to wait for the second Test which starts in Colombo on Friday, July 20.Steyn is playing in his 87th Test, while Pollock played 108 Tests for South Africa.

- Overpressure Methods
The equipment to be tested is pressurized with a gas, search gas, or a search gas mixture. Between the two methods there exist many variations depending on the particular application.
- Pressure Drop Method.
The test object is filled with a gas (for example air or nitrogen) until the testing pressure is reached. Precision gauges are used to detect a possible pressure drop during the testing period. This method is simple to implement, it is suitable for the determination of gross leaks and can be improved upon by using differential pressure gauges.

For months, people most would describe as tinfoil hat wearers have been predicting the cancellation of the November 4th election. And gun ownership supporters have been fighting for their right to bear arms to protect themselves from a police state. Are they crazy?
There's something coming down in Minneapolis-St. Paul that looks very menacing-- real "Can't Happen Here" fascist, gestapo tactics that look they are coordinated from on high-- with FBI and Homeland Security participation.
Preventive strike forces by police have invaded homes of people planning protests, or even planning to protect protesters by video-taping police. The victims of these raids have been forced to lie face down on the floor, have been handcuffed, and then their computers, records and some money has been taken from them. This frightening abuse of constitutional rights has been done using vague claims that the police are preventing riots. Here's what Glen Greenwald report s:
Protesters here in Minneapolis have been targeted by a series of highly intimidating, sweeping police raids across the city, involving teams of 25-30 officers in riot gear, with semi-automatic weapons drawn, entering homes of those suspected of planning protests, handcuffing and forcing them to lay on the floor, while law enforcement officers searched the homes, seizing computers, journals, and political pamphlets. Last night, members of the St. Paul police department and the Ramsey County sheriff's department handcuffed, photographed and detained dozens of people meeting at a public venue to plan a demonstration, charging them with no crime other than "fire code violations," and early this morning, the Sheriff's department sent teams of officers into at least four Minneapolis area homes where suspected protesters were staying.
In the house that had just been raided, those inside described how a team of roughly 25 officers had barged into their homes with masks and black swat gear, holding large semi-automatic rifles, and ordered them to lie on the floor, where they were handcuffed and ordered not to move. The officers refused to state why they were there and, until the very end, refused to show whether they had a search warrant. They were forced to remain on the floor for 45 minutes while the officers took away the laptops, computers, individual journals, and political materials kept in the house. One of the individuals renting the house, an 18-year-old woman, was extremely shaken as she and others described how the officers were deliberately making intimidating statements such as "Do you have Terminator ready?" as they lay on the floor in handcuffs. The 10 or so individuals in the house all said that though they found the experience very jarring, they still intended to protest against the GOP Convention, and several said that being subjected to raids of that sort made them more emboldened than ever to do so.
Several of those who were arrested are being represented by Bruce Nestor, the President of the Minnesota chapter of the National Lawyers' Guild. Nestor said that last night's raid involved a meeting of a group calling itself the "RNC Welcoming Committee", and that this morning's raids appeared to target members of "Food Not Bombs," which he described as an anti-war, anti-authoritarian protest group. There was not a single act of violence or illegality that has taken place, Nestor said. Instead, the raids were purely anticipatory in nature, and clearly designed to frighten people contemplating taking part in any unauthorized protests.
Live from the I-Witness Video Residence
This is Eileen Clancy, one of the founders of I-Witness Video, a NYC-based video collective that's in St. Paul to document the policing of the protests around this week's Republican National Convention.
The house where I-Witness Video is staying in St. Paul has been surrounded by police. We have locked all the doors. We have been told that if we leave we will be detained. One of our people who was caught outside is being detained in handcuffs in front of the house. The police say that they are waiting to get a search warrant. More than a dozen police are wielding firearms, including one St. Paul officer with a long gun, which someone told me is an M-16.
We are suffering a preemptive video arrest. For those that don't know, I-Witness Video was remarkably successful in exposing police misconduct and outright perjury by police during the 2004 RNC. Out of 1800 arrests, at least 400 were overturned based solely on video evidence which contradicted sworn statements which were fabricated by police officers. It seems that the house arrest we are now under and the possible threat of the seizure of our computers and video cameras is a result of the 2004 success.
We are asking the public to contact the office of St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman at 651-266-8510 to stop this house arrest, this gross intimidation by police officers, and the detention of media activists and reporters.
That report was followed by this one:Some Released: Some Detained

Scientific Reports 7, Article number: 17427(2017)
Abstract: We explore the use of orbital-angular-momentum (OAM)-multiplexing to increase the capacity of free-space data transmission to moving platforms, with an added potential benefit of decreasing the probability of data intercept. Specifically, we experimentally demonstrate and characterize the performance of an OAM-multiplexed, free-space optical (FSO) communications link between a ground transmitter and a ground receiver via a moving unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV). We achieve a total capacity of 80 Gbit/s up to 100-m-roundtrip link by multiplexing 2 OAM beams, each carrying a 40-Gbit/s quadrature-phase-shift-keying (QPSK) signal. Moreover, we investigate for static, hovering, and moving conditions the effects of channel impairments, including: misalignments, propeller-induced airflows, power loss, intermodal crosstalk, and system bit error rate (BER). We find the following: (a) when the UAV hovers in the air, the power on the desired mode fluctuates by 2.1 dB, while the crosstalk to the other mode is −19 dB below the power on the desired mode; and (b) when the UAV moves in the air, the power fluctuation on the desired mode increases to 4.3 dB and the crosstalk to the other mode increases to −10 dB. Furthermore, the channel crosstalk decreases with an increase in OAM mode spacing.

Breckenridge Creative Arts to receive $100,000 grant from National Endowment for the Arts
Breckenridge Creative Arts, also known as BreckCreate, has been recommended to receive one of 60 grants awarded nationwide through the National Endowment for the Arts' Our Town projects.
The $100,000 grant will go to support "Ecoventions Breckenridge," a project done in a partnership with the town that employs the arts to achieve a series of ecological goals related to watershed health and wildfire prevention.
Our Town is the NEA's primary creative place-making grants program, according to the organization, which seeks to drive money to projects contributing to the livability of communities that place the arts at their core. Altogether, the NEA chairwoman Jane Chu announced 60 awards totaling $4.1 million in support of projects across the nation, according to a Wednesday news release.
"The variety and quality of these Our Town projects speaks to the wealth of creativity and diversity in our country," Chu said in the release. "Through the work of organizations such as Breckenridge Creative Arts, NEA funding invests in local communities, helping people celebrate the arts wherever they are."
Beginning in spring 2019, the BCA project will feature three site-specific public commissions created by an environmental artist or team of artists during a residency at the Breckenridge Arts District.
"We are grateful that the NEA has chosen to support our project, and humbled by this recognition," said Robb Woulfe, president and CEO of BCA. "This work will allow for education and awareness-raising not only around issues that concern our natural environment, but also places where the arts and community issues can intersect for mutual benefit."
The installations will target local topics of ecological and public safety concern, including watersheds degraded by historic mining activities and the threat of wildfires amplified by beetle kill, according to the BCA.
A watershed sculpture designed to restore equilibrium to an adversely impacted ecosystem by San Francisco-based artists Daniel McCormick and Mary O'Brien will stand as the centerpiece of the local project. The artists accomplish this by using locally sourced natural materials, such as willow or beetle kill pine, and weaving them into large basket forms that are then live staked onto the site. The forms will be allowed to grow into silt traps, erosion control implements and fish habitat before eventually disappearing into the environment they were created to improve.
"The watershed sculpture in particular is unique in that it goes beyond art for art's sake," Woulfe said. "It combines the talents of artists with town planning expertise and that of ecological restoration experts to tackle an environmental problem affecting our community."
Additionally, "Ecoventions Breckenridge" will be bolstered by two supporting projects — an indoor and outdoor installation that raises awareness about the threat of wildfires, produced by Rotterdam-based Sicilian artist Giuseppe Licari, along with a solar-powered video installation that accumulates data from diverse information sources by New York-based artists Leila Nadir and Cary Peppermint of EcoArtTech.
For a complete list of projects recommended for Our Town grant support, go to Arts.gov. For more about the BCA, check out BreckCreate.org.

Do you remember?
At 9:32 a.m. EDT on July 16, 1969, with the world watching, Apollo 11 took off from Kennedy Space Center with astronauts Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. After traveling 240,000 miles in 76 hours, Apollo 11 entered lunar orbit. It was July 19.
The next day, at 1:46 p.m., just over 100 hours into the mission, the lunar module Eagle, manned by Armstrong and Aldrin, separated from the command module, where Michael Collins remained. The Eagle began its descent to the lunar surface two hours later, and at 4:18 p.m., it touched down on the Sea of Tranquility. Armstrong radioed to Mission Control, "The Eagle has landed."
At 10:39 p.m., Armstrong opened the hatch and made his way down the lunar module's ladder as an estimated 530 million people on Earth watched in great anticipation. At 10:56 p.m., Armstrong spoke his famous quote (which he later said was slightly garbled by his microphone) "that's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." He planted his left foot on the surface, took a cautious step forward, and walked on the moon.
"Buzz" Aldrin joined Armstrong on the moon's surface at 11:11 p.m., and together they took photographs of the terrain, planted a U.S. flag, ran a few scientific tests, and spoke with President Richard M. Nixon via Houston. By 1:11 a.m. on July 21, both astronauts were back in the lunar module and the two men slept that night on the surface of the moon.
After spending nearly a day on the moon, at 1:54 p.m. the Eagle began its ascent back to the command module. Among the items left on the surface of the moon was a plaque that read: "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot on the moon—July 1969 A.D—We came in peace for all mankind."
At 12:56 a.m. on July 22 Apollo 11 began its journey home, safely splashing down in the Pacific Ocean at 12:51 p.m. on July 24.
Did You Know? Interesting Moon Landing Facts
The astronauts were surprised by the strong odor of the lunar dust which they were only able to smell when they got back inside the Lunar Module. While conducting experiments on the surface of the Moon the astronauts' spacesuits gathered the moon dust in its creases. After coming into contact with oxygen for the first time inside the Lunar Module, the four billion years old moon dust produced a pungent smell. Neil Armstrong described the scent as similar to wet ashes in a fireplace.
After landing safely on the moon, Buzz Aldrin radioed to Earth asking anyone who was listening to reflect on that moment in history. Aldrin gave thanks for the opportunity and produced a small chalice and a piece of bread which he then consumed whilst reading from the Gospel of John. So Buzz Aldrin became the first and only person to participate in the Christian ritual of Communion on the Moon.
The U.S. flag was later knocked over when Armstrong and Aldrin launched the Lunar Module back into lunar orbit. After Aldrin hit the button to begin the launch he looked out the window and watched as the flag was blasted away with the rest of the material left behind on the lunar surface.
As the Apollo 11 team arrived safely on the Earth, the crew was brought to Hawaii. Despite being the three most famous men at the time, having just traveled to the moon and back, they were still asked to fill out a customs and declarations form at security. In the section asking "Departure From:" the Apollo 11 crew had to write "The Moon."

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation.My eyes must be turned toward the things that are eternal. The things of this earth will be burned up someday. One of the guys at church who has some really nice guitars often reminds me that it is just "firewood". What a great reminder that is. The stuff of this world is all going to be burned up... so in light of the end, what is at the center of my attention? Praying that I would grow in Christ-likeness and that my heart would be turned continually toward eternal things.

In Light of the End
I have been really challenged the last several days by 2 Peter. Tonight, I was reading in chapter 3 and verses 10-15 really caught my attention.

What should my ketone reading be? Ketone Chart
According to Dr's Jeff S. Volek Phd, RD and Stephen D. Phinney MD, Phd , authors of The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living, the optimal zone for nutritional ketosis is between 0.5 to 3.5.
We like to test our ketones first thing in the morning before breakfast, as generally, they are at their lowest, and that gives you a baseline for the day. The second time for testing is just before our evening meal when generally they are at their highest. In addition to those times we do curiosity testing, that is before a meal and at 30, 60 and 120 mins after eating to see what foods might be affecting our ketone level.
We find that glucose testing is good for identifying food triggers as blood sugar changes far more rapidly than ketones (ketones are slow to move and sometimes it's what happened the day before that matters most). In such, when investigating foods our go-to sleuthing tool is the glucose test. Same protocol as before. That is before a meal and at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after eating to see what foods cause a significant glucose spike (more than 30 mg/dl).

GOP hopefuls jockey for North Dakota's lone US House seat
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer's shift to the North Dakota Senate race sets off a Republican scramble for the state's lone congressional seat, including familiar names and a political newcomer.
Cramer's announcement was expected to push state Sen. Tom Campbell, one potential GOP candidate, into the House race instead.
But the wealthy potato farmer, who has said he'd be in lockstep with President Donald Trump, has failed to energize much support from party faithful, despite digging deep into his own pocket in recent months to buy advertising to raise his profile statewide. Almost three-quarters of the more than $1 million he has raised has come from himself, Federal Election Commission filings show.

The only other declared GOP candidate in the race is Tiffany Abentroth, who only recently entered the public arena but brings a resume to the race likely to impress voters in the largely agricultural red state.
The single, 32-year-old former U.S. Marine and Iraq war veteran, whose family has farmed in North Dakota a decade before statehood in 1889, believes she will bring a "refreshing change of pace" to Congress.
"I believe to truly have a functional, bipartisan democracy, you have to be able to work with both sides to pass legislation," said Abentroth, who announced her candidacy before Cramer veered to the Senate race. "I believe in honesty and transparency and I think the voters of North Dakota are looking for the same."
The GOP's wild card is state Sen. Kelly Armstrong, a former defense lawyer who heads the state party. Armstrong confirmed Friday that he was "considering" a bid for Congress.
Armstrong also has strong ties to North Dakota's oil industry. His father, Mike, is a longtime oil driller, who has been a competitor, colleague and bird-hunting buddy for decades with billionaire Harold Hamm, considered the godfather of North Dakota's oil industry.
Hamm is the chairman of Oklahoma City-based Continental Resources Inc., which is one of the oldest and biggest oil drillers in North Dakota. The oil tycoon also endorsed Trump and will served as Cramer's finance chairman in his run against Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp in November.
Another potential GOP candidate is Bismarck businessman and former North Dakota Republican Party Chairman Gary Emineth who withdrew his U.S. Senate bid after speculation of Cramer's run for that seat. Emineth said this week he hasn't ruled out a run for House.
Democrats have one declared candidate, Ben Hanson, a commercial real estate broker from Fargo and one-term state representative who lost his seat in 2016.
Hanson said Friday that he did not expect any more Democrats to enter the race. Former Democratic Rep. Earl Pomeroy served as North Dakota's lone congressman for 18 years before losing in 2010 to Rick Berg in his bid for a 10th term in the House. Berg was defeated by Heitkamp in the Senate race two years later by less than 3,000 votes.
Berg said Friday he also hasn't ruled out a run.

Outdoor Fun on a Warm Winter Day
The calendar may be the middle of February, but the weather this week is definitely spring like. Yesterday I was reviewing my activity reviews from the summer looking for outdoor ideas. Unfortunately, many outdoor activities are closed for the season. However, I do have a number of great outdoor suggestions for the next few days.
Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Matthaei Botanical Gardens is open year round. The Children's Garden offers fun outdoor activities for kids. While there won't be many flowers to explore, kids can still have fun wandering and with the activities in the Children's Garden.
Leslie Science Center
Exploring the grounds at Leslie Science Center is a great way to spend a day outdoors. However, be warned that they have Camp on Presidents Day. Monday is probably not the best day to visit.
Visit a Playground
Playgrounds are great outdoor fun year round. Last summer we profiled various playgrounds around Ann Arbor.
Toledo Zoo
We love visiting the Toledo Zoo. When my daughter was a toddler/preschooler we had a membership to the zoo and visited several times a year. Once she started school, we were not able to visit as often, but still enjoy our trips.
Upcoming Sponsored Events
Randazzo Dance Company's The Nutcracker
Holiday Nights
Warm winter days are a great day to visit the Toledo Zoo. Admission is half-price through March 3rd with the coupon available on their website. Admission is free for Lucas County Residents on Presidents Day Weekend, February 17-20. The Zoo will likely be less crowded another day this week.
Buhr Outdoor Ice Rink
The refrigeration system at Buhr Park Outdoor Ice Rink allows the rink to operate at temperatures over 50F. With extended temperatures over 60F, I am not sure if the rink is still open this week.
Indoor Pools
Yesterday morning, my daughter said that she'd like to swim since the weather's warm. While outdoor pools aren't open, there are several indoor swimming options.
Other Suggestions
Do you have other suggestions for outdoor fun on warm winter days?

To John Adams from Charles Lee, 31 October 1799
Trenton 31 october 1799
I have the honor to enclose you my sentiments upon two of the topicks mentioned in your letter of the 28th. They being the most important I have lost no time in bestowing my attention on them. I shall endeavour to obtain some information relative to the insurrection in a part of Pennsylvania and the St. Domingo business, and I shall as soon as possible express to you my ideas on those and other matters that may be inserted in your speech. I take the liberty now to observe that what is stated relative to the interruption of the board of commissioners, is predicated on the <
[. . .]> expectation that Mr. King will be instructed to obtain an explanation of the 6th. article of the treaty of amity; and if this step is to be taken I submit to your consideration whether the secretary of state should not be directed to prepare the instructions to our minister at London, so that they may go by the next packet.
With the highest esteem and most perfect respect, I am Sir your most obedient humble Servant
Charles Lee

Book Description
A wonderfully whimsical debut that proves ordinary people can do extraordinary things In the mountain town of Remarkable, everyone is extraordinarily talented, extraordinarily gifted, or just plain extraordinary. Everyone, that is, except Jane Doe, the most average ten-year-old who ever lived. But everything changes when the mischievous, downright criminal Grimlet twins enroll in Jane's school and a strange pirate captain appears in town. Thus begins a series of adventures that put some of Remarkable's most infamous inhabitants and their long-held secrets in danger. It's up to Jane, in her own modest style, to come to the rescue and prove that she is capable of some rather exceptional things. With a page-turning mystery and larger-than-life cast of characters, Lizzie K. Foley's debut is nothing short of remarkable.

3 inspirations to adopt the trend of the long and ample blazer
After the boyfriend jeans and the larger shirt, here our jackets are lengthening and are also doing the way "borrowed from the boyfriend", long and ample version.
Although the blazer is already longer and upright for some seasons, fashionistas are pushing the note and adopt oversized styles, shoulders, single or double buttoned, cut in fabrics reminiscent of a British men's wardrobe.
In terms of silhouette, this tendency to flavor 80s may seem difficult to wear at first, because it is off the beaten track. A few tips:
- To emphasize the size, you can simply add a belt on the jacket or opt for a double-breasted model that follows more closely the line of the body.
- Wide masculine styles can be paired with more fitted outfits or ultra feminine pieces to play the contrasts.
- Blazers with more classic proportions are always in order, but they are a bit bigger and longer than too much bent and cut short: why not try one size more than your usual size?
- If you are rather small (5'4 "and under), be careful not to overweight the silhouette with thick and very long blazers. Choose lighter fabrics (cold wool for example rather than felt or tweed) and make sure you have a maximum length just below the buttocks.
To illustrate, here are 3 inspirations to adopt the trend of the long blazer:
1- In business suit
A classic way to adopt the trend by focusing on the combination pants and jacket. The new proportions add a daring and modern touch to the traditional tailor.
2- Urban style
Amalgamate ample jacket and jeans for a sport chic look simple and trendy. Whether with skinny and waders or short straight leg jeans and booties, the combination is perfect for city outings.
3- Mix of genres
The loose jacket is perfect on a dress, playing the masculine / feminine contrasts.
