Okay Now Do The Rest

4. how did your elementary school teachers describe you?

Bright but argumentative. I was never afraid of pointing out things I didn’t feel were fair hfhddh

When we were learning numbers kids would often write 91 for nineteen, just flip them, y’know, and Ms. Potter yelled at the class for it. Baby Generiq went into it about how it was an understandable mix up because you do say the number first. In twenty-three you write the two first, so in nineteen it’s easy to assume you would write the nine first.

6. pastel, boho, tomboy, preppy, goth, grunge, formal or sportswear?

Tired.

8. movies or tv shows?

TV shows. Every book adaptation should also be a series not a movie. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

9. favorite smell in the summer?

Honeysuckle and sunshine

10. game you were best at in p.e.?

Floor hockey! My friend and I used to be brutal and swing at each other’s shins going after the ball. Also it was reminiscent of golf, which I competed in.

12. name of your favorite playlist?

I have an untitled playlist I cycle my current music in and out of, but Newton’s Third Law is my favorite named one!

14. favorite non-chocolate candy?

I don’t- I guess the yellow smarties. Don’t come for me they taste like lemonade.

I assume this means assigned book and not the reports we got to pick for ourselves. Ah, Night was good. Lord of the Flies was fine but way overhyped. Again, don’t come for me.

If I can tuck my legs into the chair I am sitting in that is ideal!

Phone notes and a notebook! Sometimes a blank document but I always find it strangely intimidating

21. obsession from childhood?

Warrior Cats, Percy Jackson, and Maximum Ride were my big three!

22. role model?

Aa I try to straw from people I want to copy, but there are talents I look up to. Rachel Chavkin is a brilliant director, and there are so many artists and authors I look up to and who inspire me.

24. favorite crystal?

Obsidian because it’s black like my hea- I’m kidding, I do love obsidian, but it’s Rose Quartz because it’s a very very pretty, soft pink and makes me happy.

25. first song you remember hearing?

The mobile above my crib played Imagine by John Lennon. My childhood room was themed after it as well!

Photo

Ihiazel Carmichael circa. 1817, June, Blackmore Estate

In which my SPN S/I, Yeiazel, became a muse for young painters who dedicated paintings and quoted poetry at them during the Regency. They had three suitors, Adolphus Egerton, Carew Blackmore and Harcourt Livingston.

This is one of the first portraits of them, painted by Carew Blackmore who they affectionately called “Crow” for his dark hair. They never really threw away the paintings given to them so they have this gathering dust in some storage unit or smth…

Now once Sam sees this… well…

The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning

We live in strange times.

And I am really not making sense of the coronavirus.

Supermarkets are running out of stuff and we can’t buy more than three multi-packs of Golden Wonder crisps at any one time. (You can, of course, go back into the store as many times as you want if you’ve got the time and the money and if Golden Wonder crisps are really that important to you.) Schools and libraries are closed. There’s no football. Everything’s been cancelled. We can’t leave the country, or if we can, we can’t actually go anywhere as every other country has closed its borders and your plane will be told it can never ever land on a proper runway ever again. Those of us who have jobs where we can work from home are working from home. I am supposed to be working from home right now. We’re being told to self-isolate, not shake hands or touch anything and to practise social-distancing. All this is because we may or may not get wiped out by the coronavirus.

I went to sleep last night wondering what would have happened if coronavirus had struck last autumn and the whole country went into an over-the-top mad panic about not being able to get turkey crowns and goose fat for the roast potatoes and oven-ready tin foil trays of glazed root vegetables in a malted salted caramel, fennel and blueberry jus. We’d get John Lewis ads asking us not to buy more sprouts than we really need. We’d gaze forlornly on sad, empty shelves stripped bare by panic-stricken shoppers stockpiling gift wrap and crackers. No mince pies, anywhere. The Queen interviewing a microbiologist on her TV show. The three very wise men bringing the Baby Jesus Gold, Spaghetti and Bog Roll. That kind of thing.

I woke up this morning thinking it’s a good job this didn’t happen in the 80s, because then they’d have to cancel the Radio 1 Roadshow, and for me in my younger and more vulnerable years, that would have been bad. Not that I was ever actually able to go to a Radio 1 Roadshow, but they were always fairly entertaining to listen to in their own strange way. Apart from Smiley Miley’s Mileage Game, which was, leaving aside those phenomenally tedious mystery voice competitions or Radio 4′s Quote... Unquote, the least interesting guessing game on radio. Of course, thanks to the invention of the smartphone and Google Maps, Smiley Miley’s Mileage Game would now be well and truly sunk, as every contestant would now answer, with complete confidence and certainty, that the roadshow truck had travelled exactly 63.2 miles from Seaton Carew to Scarborough using the A171. But I digress.

Perhaps all this is a sort of wake-up call. A message from the planet that our helter-skelter civilisation powered by individualism, want, rampant consumerism and money, money, money isn’t sustainable, and we need to stop. Or at least slow things down a bit. Chill out. Have a coffee. There is a time to surf, and there is a time to wax your board. Take 2020 off like we’re all observing a year-long Sabbath. I often say they should switch the internet off on Sundays so we can calm down, relax and get some fresh air rather than stare at a screen all day and rile ourselves up on social media. Maybe that’s what the coronavirus is here to tell us. That, and how soap is more important than soap operas. Through all the chaos and the uncertainty and the panic-buying of things you don’t normally buy, perhaps the message is to rethink modern life and look at what we have and not worry about what we don’t. It’s like that bit in The Alchemist where the Alchemist gets frisked and everyone has a good old laugh when he tells them he really is carrying the elixir of eternal life and the stuff that turns base metal into gold: we never recognise the great treasures and wonders even when they’re right in front of us.

Who knows? It may well be that the purpose of this particular infectious agent is to remind us that life, and everything, is temporary, and that you can be as rich as Crassus, but if Waitrose ain’t got toilet paper, they ain’t got toilet paper, and when you have to empty your bum you’ll be reliant on pages of the Metro cut up into 7cm x 7cm squares just like the rest of us. It’s already too late and your LinkedIn profile won’t save you.

We live in such strange times that I don’t know how worried I should be yet. As with the Radio 1 Roadshow, there’s a novelty factor, and that’s probably what’s keeping me from fretting about illness and contagion and the worldwide death toll and being, in the grand scheme of things, totally helpless. Thankfully, everyone I know and care for is fine and healthy and that’s what matters.

Now wash your hands.

Stay safe.

100 Documents: Empire State Building (1929-31)

In 1929, a group of industrialists connected to General Motors decided to built the world’s tallest building in Manhattan, to eclipse the nearby Chrysler Building, which was owned by their competitor. The building site was on Fifth Avenue, between 33rd & 34th Streets, where the exclusive Waldorf-Astoria Hotel was located. They tore it down to build the Empire State Building.

The architecture firm Shreve, Lamb and Harmon was chosen to design the building. William F. Lamb (1893-1952) took only a fortnight to do the drawings, using an art-deco style that made the building look like a pencil.

Lamb took inspiration from earlier designs for the Reynolds Building (Winston-Salem, North Carolina) and the Carew Tower (Cincinatti, Ohio). His Empire State Building design would later win several awards, including the Architectural League gold medal in 1931.The 5-story base was broad, covering 2 acres (8093 square metres). It had 102 stories in total, and was 443m in height (up to the top of the antenna spire). This made it the world’s tallest skyscraper. The building also had flush windows, instead of recessed - another distinctive feature.

Starrett Brothers & Eken was the general contractor - they were the recognized leader in skyscraper construction. William A. Starrett (one of the brothers) had recently written the book Skyscrapers and the Men Who Build Them. A quote from it is: “Building skyscrapers is the nearest peacetime equivalent to war...The analogy of war is the strife against the elements.”

In 1930-31, Starrett Brothers & Eken put together a notebook on the project’s construction, called Notes on Construction of the Empire State Building. It had 77 pages of text, typed on blue-lined graph paper, and held in a 3-ring binder. As well as the text, there were black-and-white photos mounted with black corners on 32 sheets of brown pressboard. The notebook gave a detailed step-by-step account of the construction.

Work began in the early years of the Great Depression, and employed up to 3,400 construction workers on any single day. Many of them were European workers, and there were also 100′s of Mohawk iron workers. At least 5 workers died during the construction.

The whole project took 20 months in total - the first architectural contract was signed in September 1929, and the building had its formal opening on May 1st, 1931. The construction itself took only 410 days.

The final cost was US$40,948,900 - US$635,021,563 in 2015. As of 2007, it was still the 2nd-largest single office complex in America (after the Pentagon).

Why the economy isn’t lifting Trump

Editor’s Note: This edition of Morning Money is published weekdays at 8 a.m. POLITICO Pro Financial Services subscribers hold exclusive early access to the newsletter each morning at 5:15 a.m. To learn more about POLITICO Pro’s comprehensive policy intelligence coverage, policy tools and services, click here.

Why the economy isn’t lifting Trump — I write with Victoria Guida this morning about how the economy and markets are showing remarkable resilience after dire predictions of a sharp slowdown this year. That should be helping lift President Donald Trump’s re-election chances. But he can’t escape the Mueller report tractor beam and or shake his penchant for focusing on Twitter tirades and attacking his enemies.

Story Continued Below

Money quote from Brendan Buck, who served as a top aide to former House Speaker Paul Ryan: “The economy is an important issue for him because it’s the one issue that allows him to break out of his base. … And there aren’t a lot of those for him. He’s got solid support in the upper 30s and lower 40s but you have to have something to push you over the top and if the economy isn’t it for him, I don’t know what is.”

Here comes Q1 GDP — Expectations are for growth of 2.3 percent but many analysts expect a higher number closer to 2.6 percent thanks to a strong contribution from net foreign trade.

But RSM’s Joe Bruselas warns MM: “If you are someone who works in politics you are going to want to scream about the top line on first quarter growth and privately worry that it may not look so good when the next quarter comes around

“Volatile inventory and trade numbers and a one-time boost to public construction from the 2018 fiscal year budget agreement will boost the first quarter number. None of those three are sustainable.”

GOOD FRIDAY MORNING — Hope to catch some of you in L.A. next week. Your regular M.M. host while I’m there will be the great Victoria Guida. Email her on [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @vtg2. Email Aubree Eliza Weaver on [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @AubreeEWeaver. And don’t forget to sign up for Morning Money at Milken!

President Trump speaks to the NRA in Indianapolis at 12:30 local time … Joe Biden appears on “The View” … First estimate of Q1 GDP at 8:30 a.m. expected to show 2.3 percent growth and inflation at 1.3 percent … University of Michigan consumer sentiment at 10:00 a.m. expected to dip to 97.0 from 98.4 in March.

MORE GDP PREP — Pantheon’s Ian Shepherdson expects 2.6%: “In the 10th year of an economic expansion, and especially given the fading push from fiscal easing, a 2.6% growth rate is very respectable. … Most of the first quarter distortion reverses in the second, but small boosts are visible in the third and fourth quarters too.”

BIG BANK MERGER FACES DEM SCRUTINY — Our Victoria Guida in Charlotte, N.C.: “The biggest proposed bank merger since the 2008 financial crisis is drawing flak from Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other key Democrats, who warn that it could create another institution so large that its failure would threaten the economy.

“The potential deal between BB&T and SunTrust, which would create the nation’s sixth-largest retail bank, has also sparked fears about branch closings and whether the marriage will reduce consumers’ access to credit, concerns that were voiced on Thursday at a public hearing in Charlotte.” Read more.

GOLDMAN AND 1MDB — The Better Markets report we previewed yesterday is here.

And not everyone is thrilled with it. From an MM reader not at Goldman Sachs: “I read the ‘big new report’ from Better Markets on Goldman teased in MM. It’s not new, and it’s not a report; it’s a collection of news stories and a lot of bluster.”

MORGAN STANLEY TO PAY $150M OVER MBS — Our Patrick Temple-West: “Morgan Stanley will pay California $150 million to settle allegations that the company hid risks concerning mortgage-backed securities sold to the state’s pension funds.

“From 2003 to 2007, Morgan Stanley was aware of misrepresentations it made and failed to correct its statements when selling the securities to CalPERS and CalSTRS, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said.” Read more.

HUD WILL DELAY DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE MOVE — Our Zachary Warmbrodt: “The Department of Housing and Urban Development will delay plans to rein in government entities that offer down payment assistance for mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration, following litigation challenging the policy.

“HUD agreed to a 90-day stay postponing the changes announced last week, according to a court filing. HUD is delaying the plan after being sued by the Cedar Band of Paiutes, which said the new policy unlawfully targeted American Indian tribes and bands by prohibiting them from participating in home purchasing assistance programs.” Read more.

ICYMI — Bloomberg’s Katia Porzecanski and Max Abelson on Cantor Fitzgerald’s Lee Stowell, who says she was bullied and harassed and wants her day in court. Read more.

CUOMO ALL IN FOR BIDEN — CNBC’s Brian Schwartz: “New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has raised billions of dollars during his campaigns over the years, has indicated to associates in recent days that he will be opening his vast and powerful fundraising network exclusively to Joe Biden, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.” Read more.

GET TO KNOW JOE — Our John F. Harris: “There are ample reasons to doubt whether 2020 will at long last reward Biden with the prize he has craved for decades. But, after months of waiting, it’s now clear that no rival on the long roster of Democratic contenders will make history without first surmounting the one whose singular combination of achievements and setbacks has already invested him with historic stature.” Read more.

S&P 500 DIPS LOWER — Reuters’ Sinead Carew: “The S&P 500 closed just barely lower on Thursday, as a dive in industrial stocks and concerns about slowing global growth eclipsed gains in Facebook and Microsoft.” Read more.

IT’S NOT JUST RECORD-HIGH STOCKS FEELING THE FED EFFECT — AP’s Stan Choe: “It’s not just the stock market at a record high that’s feeling the Fed effect. Jewelry shoppers, home buyers, retirees and many others are feeling the ramifications of the Federal Reserve’s decision earlier this year to halt raising interest rates, at least temporarily.” Read more.

BIG TECH STOCK MARKET MAKING A COMEBACK? — NYT’s Stephen Grocer: “Apple got there first, then Amazon, and on Thursday, Microsoft became the third American company to reach a market valuation of $1 trillion. It was a brief achievement (Microsoft was valued at about $990 billion by the end of the day), but it underscores the remarkable recovery in technology stocks since their precipitous decline late last year.” Read more.

CENTRAL BANKS NERVOUS ABOUT TIGHTENING POLICY — Bloomberg’s Michelle Jamrisko: “Three months since the Fed … put U.S. interest rates on a prolonged pause, more and more central bankers around the world are getting nervous about tightening monetary policy.

“Policy makers across Asia, Europe and North America shifted their tones, with Sweden and Canada among them. The caution came in a week of fresh pessimism on the global outlook as trade and electoral uncertainties linger.” Read more.

ICYMI: NOW HIRING EXECS TO STAFF FAILED BANKS — WSJ’s Rachel Louise Ensign: “The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is assembling a stable of executives who could be installed in top jobs at failed banks, taking advantage of a calm spell in the business to better prepare for the next downturn. The regulator has interviewed dozens of bankers over the past two years or so in search of people qualified to serve as board members or executives at banks seized by the agency in the future, FDIC officials said.” Read more.

WORLD TRADE VOLUMES PLUNGING — Bloomberg’s Fergal O’Brien: “The global trade funk is dragging on, with new data on Thursday showing volumes are falling at the fastest pace since the depths of the financial crisis. Calculations by Bloomberg based on the Dutch statistics office’s trade monitor show a 1.9 percent drop in the three months through February compared with the previous three months. That marks the steepest drop since the period through May 2009.” Read more.

DIMON, DALIO WORRY ABOUT FUTURE OF CAPITALISM — WSJ’s Greg Ip: “James Dimon and Ray Dalio are among the most successful capitalists in the U.S. today. So when they worry aloud about the future of capitalism, it’s worth listening. ‘I believe that all good things taken to an extreme become self-destructive and that everything must evolve or die.

“This is now true for capitalism,’ Mr. Dalio, founder of hedge-fund manager Bridgewater Associates, writes on LinkedIn. Mr. Dimon, chief executive of JPMorgan Chase & Co., writes in his annual letter to shareholders: ‘In many ways and without ill intent, many companies were able to avoid — almost literally drive by — many of society’s problems.’” Read more.

GLENCORE UNDER INVESTIGATION — Bloomberg’s Jack Farchy and Elena Mazneva: “Glencore Plc said it’s under investigation by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission for possible corrupt practices, the latest legal headache for the world’s biggest commodity trader.

“The probe comes after the London-listed company was subpoenaed last year by the U.S. Justice department for documents relating to its dealings in Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Venezuela since 2007.” Read more.

The Best Dressed Men Of The Week

http://fashion-trendin.com/the-best-dressed-men-of-the-week-14/

The Best Dressed Men Of The Week

Who: Macklemore

Where: KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball, Los Angeles

Despite the bashful stance, Macklemore has little reason to be shy. The rapper made an MVP look out of old-school sportswear classics, with the monochrome jacket and Converse keeping the outfit from straying into ‘season ticket holder’. Factor in the flecks of gold to cuffs and collar, and the 30-year old scored a home run.

Who: Kevin Hart

Where: Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle Premiere, Berlin

Sorry Kevin, nobody born pre-1998 wants a sequel to the all-time classic that is Jumanji. What they do want however, is a tonal masterclass like this. The stateside funny man combined a symphony of neutrals for a look that’s stylish and simple in equal measure. Consider yourself almost forgiven, Kev.

Who: Niall Horan

Where: KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball, Arrivals, Los Angeles

Colour needn’t fade in winter. As Niall Horan proved at the KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball, one primary hued piece – in this case, an overshirt – can lift the simplest of looks for some Yuletide cheer. That doesn’t give you carte blanche to flex Santa’s full-look red, though.

Who: Tom Glynn-Carney

Where: Evening Standard Theatre Awards, London

Turns out you can wear a cummerbund without looking like Pavarotti. Tom Glynn-Carney – best-known for his role in Dunkirk – hit a high note with all the black tie classics. No novelty, no gimmicks: just a well-fitting tux and a reasonable body mass index to fill it.

Who: Isaac Carew

Where: The British Fashion Awards, London

If regular red carpets are a daunting task, consider the British Fashion Awards The Hunger Games: a catty melting pot of industry top brass and semi-famous names. That didn’t stop Isaac Carew clinching victory however, countering a memorable checked two-piece with a black tee and kicks. Follow the same rule, and the odds will be ever in your favour, too.

Who: David Gandy

Where: Aspinal Of London Store Launch, London

Aspinal’s aren’t the only ones worthy of a royal warrant. At their latest store launch, David Gandy (king of the male models) layered a deep brown coat over a classic blue suit in a look that’s majestic and classic.

Who: Harry Styles

Where: Tokyo

Like all would-be rockstars, Harry Styles is big in Japan. Big trousered, that is. As a keen advocate of the seventies maximalism trend, the former Directioneer pitted some tricky pink flares with failsafe staples up-top, resulting in a daring but balanced look that deserves to go platinum.

Who: Sebastian Stan

Where: I, Tonya Premiere, Los Angeles

Whoever said all-black is boring should speak to Sebastian Stan. The Avengers: Infinity War star made monochrome memorable at a recent premiere, using texture to the lapels and tie to add depth to a tailored look. Get us on that blacklist.

Who: Robbie Rogers

Where: Ermenegildo Zegna Couture XXX Collection Launch, Los Angeles

Events hosted by the likes of Ermenegildo Zegna demand top threads, and LA Galaxy star Robbie Rogers didn’t disappoint. The 30-year-old used Pantone’s Colour of 2018 (ultra violet, in case you were wondering) to break-up overarching darkness, then added texture with a tonal, patterned jacket.

Cornwall: Carew's Survey 1

Cornwall: Carew’s Survey 1

Carew’s Survey of Cornwall is an interesting little book, filled with useful material and much quoted by my more modern sources. It was written in 1605, and the version I’m using, which is copied from Internet Archive, has the linguistic quirks of the time. It uses the f for long s, and has the letters U and V reversed to the modern sounds. I spent a good minute wondering who the Lord of the…

Old-guard retail back in the cross hairs

By Chuck Mikolajczak | NEW YORK

NEW YORK A glance at the U.S. stock market’s main degree for the health of retailers suggests all is well among those companies in the commerce of peddling stuff directly to consumers.

After all, the $1.16 trillion S&P 500 retail index .SPXRT has climbed nearly 13 percent this year to a record high, roughly double the 7 percent gain by the full S&P 500 .SPX.

That stalwart performance, however, has been delivered nearly entirely by a clutch of new ‘retailers’ that now account for more than half of the value of the index: Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O), Netflix Inc (NFLX.O) & Priceline Group Inc (PCLN.O). Moreover, it masks a broad slump in shares of traditional retailers having their lunch eaten by disrupters like Amazon in particular.

In fact, when the retail index’s huge three gainers are excluded, the group’s aggregate value has gained a lackluster 1.3 percent this year & is some 8 percent shy of its high-water mark two years ago.

Against that backdrop, next week brings a fresh look at how that old guard of retail is holding up & whether a turn-around in their flagging share performance might be in the offing.

First-quarter earnings reports from Macy’s Inc (M.N), Nordstrom Inc (JWN.N), Kohl’s Corp (KSS.N) & JCPenney Co Inc (JCP.N) are expected to be sobering, yet could shed some light on whether wrenching turn-around plans launched by some of them, including thousands of layoffs, are starting to bear fruit.

Overall corporate earnings for the first quarter have been strong, with growth for the entire S&P 500 pegged at 14.7 percent from a year earlier, the best since 2011, according to Thomson Reuters data. But the consumer discretionary sector .SPLRCD, which includes the department stores, is expected to show just 3.9 percent growth, albeit that is up from an estimated 1.4 percent a month ago.

“The consumer for the most part seems OK. Not everywhere,” said Tobias Levkovich, chief U.S. fairness strategist at Citigroup.

But sales are expected to be middling for the department store chain names. Analysts caution, however, that traditional retailers may no longer be a true degree of consumer health as people have new ways to spend.

“There will probably be a knee-jerk reaction the wrong way when we hear some of those larger retailers come out & say foot traffic in the mall is terrible,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Wunderlich Securities in New York.

“Hopefully we don’t start assuming that because people aren’t going to Macy’s the consumer is dead.”

Far from it. The government’s main degree of the health of consumer spending, the monthly retail sales report due out Friday, is expected to show overall retail sales snapped back in April after two straight declines.

Of the huge four retail names set to report next week, only Nordstrom is forecast to post an increase in earnings per share, & that by just 2.8 percent, according to estimates from Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Macy’s profit per share is seen sliding 13.5 percent & Kohl’s is expected to drop 6.4 percent. JCPenney, which posted its first quarterly profit in three years in final year’s fourth quarter, is seen sliding back to a loss.

“There’s a lot of headline risk attached to retailers so we’re not a huge fan of owning a lot of the brick & mortar mass retailers right now,” said Nathan Thooft, senior managing director, at Manulife Asset Management in Boston.

Indeed, all four of those reporting next week have lagged both their own peer group & the wider market so far this year. While Nordstrom is at least in the black with a modest 2 percent gain, Macy’s & Kohl’s have both tumbled approximately 19 percent. JCPenney, no longer a member of the S&P 500 retail group, has plunged 34 percent.

As Manulife’s Thooft puts it: “The valuations are starting to obtain interesting, yet at the same time you can’t dismiss the fact you have the Amazons of the world & the shift of the consumer to be able to purchase more & more items online.”
