Kevin McCarthy's ouster as House speaker is more than a momentary detour into dysfunction for the Republican Party, said David Leonard in The New York Times. It's "the latest sign of its drift toward radicalism." For the first time ever, a party deposed its own speaker mid-term, all because hard-right members were outraged that McCarthy engaged in bipartisan spending negotiations "inherent to democratic governance." The GOP has become the primary "source of chaos" in a nation that feels increasingly "unmoored" -and democracy scholars are alarmed. "In my lifetime, this is the greatest challenge that I've seen coming at us," Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Joseph Ellis said of Republicans' revolutionary fervor.

Throwing the House into turmoil is "a continuation of the MAGA riot Donald Trump incited" on Jan. 6, 2021, said David Rothkopf in The Daily Beast. "The rationale was the same": If the system doesn't deliver what we want, we'll just break it.

Our democracy's "downward spiral" could accelerate, said Will Bunch in The Philadelphia Inquirer, which would delight "a small but influential gaggle" of far-right thought leaders. Supposed intellectuals at Hillsdale College and the Claremont Institute see the spreading rot as proof of the need for a "Red Caesar": an authoritarian who will suspend democracy, root out the liberal "deep state," and "impose order." That a growing number of conservative academics and billionaire donors are embracing an

"explicit plea for dictatorship" is deeply alarming. Especially because "we all know who the actual 'Red Caesar' is-even if he is, technically, orange."

If you think that's hyperbole you're not paying attention, said Doyle McManus in the Los Angeles Times. Trump has laid out a terrifying " authoritarian vision" for a second term. He's promised to prosecute political opponents, send the National Guard into high-crime cities, and "purge the federal civil service of anyone who questions his views." Meanwhile, his rhetoric has grown increasingly violent, said Margaret Sullivan in The Guard-ian. He's called for shooting shoplifters, suggested former Joint Chiefs of Staff chair Gen. Mark Milley should be executed, and exhorted followers to "go after" New York Attorney General Letitia James for filing a fraud case against him. Many shrug off such words as "Trump being Trump." But voters must understand exactly what he'll do if he wins in &

Nathaniel C. Wyeth (1911-1990) was an American mechanical engineer and inventor. Son of N.C. Wyeth, an illustrator and painter, and brother of artists Andrew Wyeth, Carolyn Wyeth, Henriette Wyeth Hurd, and Ann Wyeth McCoy, also a composer, Nathaniel C. Wyeth deviated from the "family business" and was known for his work as a mechanical engineer and inventor.

He joined DuPont in 1936 as a field engineer and by 1963 he was the company's first engineering fellow. When he retired in 1976, he had risen to the company's highest technical position. Wyeth is best known for creating a variant of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to withstand the pressure of carbonated liquids. Wyeth's invention is used widely today for both carbonated and non-carbonated drinks.

This image was used for a newspaper publication's announcement of his death. The original portrait of Wyeth was taken in 1986, and this print ran in 1990.

The Economy (Taylor’s Version)

See how much money Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour actually made

Posted October 13, 2023 - The Washington Post

Call it a gold rush: Taylor Swift is adding billions to the U.S. economy.

Swift’s record-shattering Eras Tour is set to be the most lucrative concert run in American history. But the massive production not only provided a jolt of money to sold-out stadiums — it also infused the American economy with a trickle-down flow of cash.

Now, as the show heads to movie theaters this weekend, millions more will experience — and shell out cold, hard cash for — a moment with Swift.

As she hits the silver screen, here’s a look at The Economy (Taylor’s Version).

The biggest windfall is headed straight to Swift, who stands to make as much as $4.1 billion from the Eras Tour, according to estimates from Peter Cohan, an associate professor of management at Babson College.

Ranking in the dollars

$4.1 billion - Estimated personal earnings from the Eras Tour.

That’s assuming the pop star ends up keeping the standard artist’s share of roughly 85 percent of her tour’s revenue, with average ticket prices of $456. Swift’s earnings would be the most from a single tour for any musical act to date — and more than the yearly economic output of 42 countries, including Liberia, which has more than 5 million people.

But the impact of the Eras Tour extends far beyond what Swift takes home. In one of the few efforts to assess spending by concertgoers, software company QuestionPro quizzed 592 Swifties who responded to an opt-in online survey. Based on their answers and average concert attendance, the company estimates that Swift’s fans spent about $93 million per show — yes, on tickets, but also on merchandise, travel, hotels, food and outfits.

Add all that up, and by the end of the U.S. tour, you’ve got a $5.7 billionboost to the country’s economy. That’s enough to give $440 to each person in Swift’s home state of Pennsylvania. Or almost enough to send every American a $20 bill.

(Technically $17.10 per person)

(Sorry, we don’t know how many cats personally received a $20 bill from Taylor. But it’s enough to give each of her three cats $1.9 billion.)

...Ready for it?

The mania began months before the March kickoff of the Eras Tour. Presale tickets went on sale in November — sending millions of fans into a frenzy and causing Ticketmaster to crash. A class-action lawsuit and a congressional inquiry followed, as did the ire of many Swifties.

Tickets, which started at $49, sold for many multiples of their face value on resale sites like SeatGeek.

$1,611 - Average ticket resale price on SeatGeek.

That burst of spending has revived the entertainment industry after a years-long pandemic slump.

“Swift and her ‘Eras’ tour have redefined entertainment economics,” said Chris Leyden, director of growth marketing at SeatGeek.

The loudest woman these towns have ever seen

The tour’s economic boost spread far past the walls of Swift’s stadium venues, as fans traveled from near and far to any show they could get their hands on. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia even put the Swift effect in a report — saying concertgoers provided a sizable boost to hotel revenue in May.

Hotels, restaurants and shops around the country felt the upswing, with millions of dollars flowing into the 20 U.S. cities Swift visited this summer. Cincinnati estimated that it would see about $48 million in additional economic impact, according to Visit Cincy and the Cincinnati Regional Chamber’s Center for Research and Data.

Cincinnati $48 million

Denver $148 million

Los Angeles $320 million

Kansas City $48 million

In Los Angeles, where Swift performed six shows, the California Center for Jobs and the Economy predicted a $320 million boost to the county. Kansas City tourism organization Visit KC said the region got an estimated $48 million impact from the tour’s July stop.The Common Sense Institute, which studies the state of Colorado’s economy, predicted the boom from Swift’s Denver performances would add up to $140 million statewide.

“The [Eras Tour] was a shot in the arm to a part of the regional economy that’s really been lagging,” said Mike Kahoe, chief economist for the California center. “It brought some much-needed dollars to the tourism industry.”

Hotel analytics group STR calculated tour cities produceda $208 million bump in hotel room revenue, over and above normal seasonal levels.

$208 million - Estimated additional room revenue

In Seattle, Swift set a record for single-day revenue for downtown hotels — notching $7.4 million, about $2 million more than the record set during a Major League BaseballAll-Star Game earlier the same month, according to Visit Seattle and STR.

“To put the impact into context, $208 million is basically the combined room revenue generated in New York City and Philadelphia in one week,” STR senior research analyst M. Brian Riley wrote. And that’s just for the actual nights of the tour, not including fans who arrived early orstayed longer.

Best believe they bejeweled

Swift’s fans want to embody their favorite Era — and that means splurging on elaborate outfits and costumes.

“Is there anyone here who put a lot of work, thought and preparation into lyric memorization and/or what you were going to wear?” Swift asked the crowd to loud cheers at a Los Angeles show in August.

A core accessory for any Swiftie is a few — or a few dozen — friendship bracelets to grace their wrists and to trade at shows. The jewelry, inspired by a lyric in Swift’s song “You’re On Your Own Kid,” is often handmade or bought online and boasts popular Swift lyrics.

Three million dollars in friendship bracelets sold on Etsy between April and August

One Etsy seller, Kara White, started making the bracelets with her mom earlier this year, when the tour began. They got orders for 1,500 bracelets in a single day as fans prepared for the Los Angeles shows. White and her mom have made about $15,000 this year selling bracelets.

“It just shows how much she makes her fans go crazy,” White said.

Coveted tour merchandise that were hard to nab had fans turning to internet resale sites. One of the most popular items: a $65 blue crewneck with the Eras Tour logo.

1,600% increase in blue Eras crewnecks sold on eBay from March to July

At the venues, merch lines were long — inside and at trucks parked outside. Justin Paul, a DJ, producer and creative director who teaches music business courses at UCLA Extension, came up with a conservative estimate — $864,000 for each show — for Swift’s merch sales inside venues by using the number of people at each show and an average of how much concertgoers typically spend on merch. Still, Swift is a special case.

$1,279 - Average amount each Eras Tour attendee spent:

Food/drinks: $106

Tickets: $396

Travel/lodging: $384

Merch: $159

Outfits: $234

“You look at how much consumers are spending to see Taylor Swift, and it is quite an astonishing amount,” said Dan Fleetwood, president of research and insights at QuestionPro. “And not only are they spending this money, but in a lot of cases, they’re saying they would gladly do it again.”

Judging by the QuestionPro survey respondents, the average fan spent nearly $1,300 on outfits, travel, tickets and extras for the concert.

One for the money, two for the show

All of that Swiftie spending meant restaurants, shops and security firms had to keep up. One solution: hiring temporary workers while the tour is in town.

“When Taylor Swift comes to town, she brings a surge of economic activity,” said Daniel Altman, chief economist at Instawork, which allows businesses to employ workers by the hour.

1,000% increase in demand for hourly workers within a half-mile of Swift’s Boston-area shows

Not only are there more jobs in and around Eras stadiums, butthey pay better, too: The average hourly rate offered on Instawork within a five-mile radius of Swift’s May 13 show in Philadelphia was $20.57, $2 higher than usual.

There have been longer-term lifts in employment, too. In Los Angeles, Swift’s six-day stop was estimated to generate enough revenue to fund 3,300 new jobs, according to the California Center for Jobs and the Economy. That would be enough to staff every bookstore and news stand in the L.A. area.

3,300 jobs enough to staff every bookstore and news stand in L.A.

Swift also passed on some of that karma — and cash — to her employees.

She gave every truck driver on the tour an extra $100,000 this summer, and she gifted bonuses to sound technicians, caterers, dancers and other staff, People magazine reported in August.

Look what Swift made them do

Swift may have been the main event, but fans shelled out for days of related festivities, with plenty of small businesses happy to bask in her afterglow. There were tour-inspired ice cream flavors in Pennsylvania, bonbons in Colorado and lattes in New Hampshire.

In Washington state, Neko Cat Cafe hosted feline-friendly “Taylor listening parties” at its two locations to commemorate the tour’s arrival. The small business made over $3,000 from the event, with ticket sales at its Bellingham location — almost 90 miles north of Seattle — 140 percent higher than on a typical Friday night.

Forty cats, all available for adoption, wore Swift-themed bandanas while humans drank glittery wine and ate “Lover”-themed cookies. Tickets, at $40 a pop, promptly sold out.

140% increase in ticket sales at Neko Cat Cafe in Bellingham, Wash.

That Midas touch extended around the country: In California, Susie Cakes sold $50,000 worth of Swift-themed cupcakes. Seattle’s Japonessa Sushi Cocina dished out $10,000 in “Reputation” sushi rolls and glitter-filled cocktails. And in Kansas City, Donutology filled orders for 20,000 Eras-themed donuts, which became a staple at “Tayl-gating” parties in the parking lot before Swift hit the stage.

In Minneapolis, Inbound Brew Co. racked up twice as much money than on a normal weekend when it hosted three nights of Eras-related festivities this summer, including trivia games, live-band karaoke and a dance party, according to general manager Emily Elmer.

“This was bigger for us than when the Super Bowl came to town in 2018,” she said.

If this was a movie

The first leg of her North American tour may be over, but Swift can’t stop, won’t stop moving … this time into movie theaters and football stadiums (when athletes are actually on the field). She has become a recognizable figure at Kansas City Chiefs games to watch her rumored paramour, tight end Travis Kelce. Her appearances have caused sales of Kelce’s jersey to jump and,in at least one case, NFL ticket prices to rise after rumors Swift would be in attendance, according to NPR.

$37 million in tickets sold for the Eras Tour concert film in the first day of pre-sales at AMC, Regal and Cinemark theaters

Eras, too, is onto its next phase. In November, the pop star will take her 146-show tour international, with stops in South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. But first, Swift heads to the movies — where global pre-sales have already surpassed $100 million, according to AMC. Fans, the movie chain said, are turning up “from the largest cities to the smallest towns.”

Long story short: Swift’s economic dominance is about to begin again.

About this story:

The following songs are referenced in this story:

gold rush - The Man - ...Ready For It? - the last great american dynasty - Bejeweled - You're On Your Own, Kid - champagne problems - Karma - Look What You Made Me Do - If This Was a Movie (Taylor's Version) - Shake It Off - long story short - Afterglow - Begin Again (Taylor's Version).

Abha Bhattarai became a Swiftie during the pandemic, when she listened to “Evermore” and “Folklore” on repeat.

Rachel Lerman managed to get tickets for Swift’s Munich show, where she will be embracing her “1989” era.

Emily Sabens became a Swiftie at age 10 while performing songs from the debut album in her basement with her cousin. She was blessed with “Haunted” as a surprise song at the Eras Tour in Detroit.

Editing by Karly Domb Sadof (who is still trying to get her Eras Tour tickets), Betty Chavarria (who has a song named after her), Jennifer Liberto (mom of a Swiftie), Mike Madden (who is not a Swiftie — yet), Paola Ruano (who is going to the Eras Tour for a second time in London) and Haley Hamblin (who promises to finally listen to 1989 soon).

Delaware: A Fertile Ground for Food and Agriculture Businesses

Delaware, the second smallest state in the United States, is making a big name in the food and agriculture sector. Despite its modest size, Delaware offers a remarkably fertile environment for food and agriculture businesses to thrive. This success can be attributed to favorable geographic conditions, supportive state policies, advanced research institutions, and a robust infrastructure. These factors create a dynamic ecosystem where food and agriculture businesses can flourish.

Geographic and Climatic Advantages

Delaware's geographic location on the eastern seaboard gives it a unique advantage. The state enjoys a temperate climate with four distinct seasons, which is ideal for a wide variety of crops. The fertile soil, especially in the southern part of the state, supports the growth of vegetables, grains, and fruits. Moreover, Delaware's proximity to major urban centers like Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., ensures that agricultural products have easy access to large markets.

The state's diverse microclimates allow for cultivating an array of crops and raising livestock. This diversity reduces the risk associated with agricultural production and provides multiple avenues for business ventures. The variety of products grown and produced in Delaware ranges from corn and soybeans to poultry and dairy, offering vast opportunities for food processing, distribution, and retail businesses.

Supportive State Policies and Programs

The government has consistently firmly committed to supporting the Delaware agriculture industry. The Delaware Department of Agriculture offers various programs and services to assist farmers and food producers. These include financial incentives, technical assistance, and marketing support aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of Delaware's agricultural products.

One of the key initiatives is the Delaware Agricultural Lands Preservation Program, which helps to protect farmland from development and ensures that it remains available for agricultural use. This program preserves the state's rural character and provides long-term security for farming businesses.

Furthermore, Delaware has implemented policies to encourage sustainable farming practices.

4 min readPreparations for Next Moonwalk Simulations Underway (and Underwater) This staged scene and illustration represents what you might see when NASA’s University Innovation project awards teams of students with funds to conduct real-world aeronautical research that will help the agency transform aviation for the 21st century. NASA /Lillian Gipson / Getty Images NASA has selected another five university teams to participate in real-world aviation research challenges that could help transform flight in the skies above our communities. Research topics range from safeguarding automated aircraft from cyberattacks to finding ways to help aircraft operations across the nation more quickly recover from delays due to major storms or technical problems. “The idea is to give students, faculty and their partners the chance to conduct research – both physical and digital – that helps us realize our vision for 21st century aviation that is sustainable and offers more diverse air travel options,” said Koushik Datta, University Innovation project manager for NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. The University Innovation project includes two efforts through which universities are invited to submit research proposals and from which teams are then selected: the University Leadership Initiative (ULI) and the University Student Research Challenge (USRC). A key ULI goal is for faculty-led student teams to gain experience by participating in aeronautics research on a multidisciplinary team made up of partners from other universities and industry, including faculty and student populations who are underrepresented or have not applied their skills to aviation problems. Meanwhile, in addition to conducting technical research, student-led USRC teams help them develop skills in entrepreneurship and public communication. Each team of students selected receives a USRC grant from NASA – and the additional challenge of raising funds from the public through student-led crowdfunding. ULI makes selections once a year, while USRC manages multiple selection cycles each year, with proposals for the next selection cycle due by 5 p.m. EDT on March 21. Visit the NASA Aeronautics Solicitations page for more information. For ULI, three teams were selected resulting in a total of $18 million in awards during the next three years. For each team, the proposing university will serve as lead. The new ULI selections are: University of California, Berkeley The team will test ideas for improving the ability of the National Airspace System to become more resilient to reduce the disruptive impact major storms, facility outages, and other technical issues can have on airline flight operations. Team members include University of Maryland, University of Michigan, Morgan State University, University of Pennsylvania, Elizabeth City State University, United Airlines, Patty Clark Aviation Advisors, ATAC Corporation, Mead and Hunt, American Airlines, Vaughan College of Aeronautics and Technology, The Federal Aviation Administration, Lansing Community College, Community College of Philadelphia, and City College of San Francisco. Ohio University The team will seek to solve technical challenges associated with the ability of large drones to safely taxi, take off, and land at airports using automated navigation systems. Team members include Illinois Institute of Technology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Tufts University, Stanford University, Veth Research Associates LLC, Reliable Robotics Corporation, Boeing, and Virginia Tech Transportation Institute. The George Washington University The team will investigate measures that can be taken to safeguard autonomous aircraft flying in high-density urban airspace from cyberattacks that could disrupt safe operations. Team members include Vanderbilt University, Purdue University, Tennessee State University, University of California, Irvine, The University of Texas at Austin, Collins Aerospace, Northern Virginia Community College, Cyber Security and Privacy Research Institute at The George Washington University, Skygrid (a Boeing Company), and the Secure Resilient Systems and Technology Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. For USRC, NASA selected two new university student teams to participate in this cycle with a USRC grant that can be up to $80,000. The new USRC selections are: Cornell University The team’s project is titled “Learning Cooperative Policies for Adaptive Human-Drone Teaming in Shared Airspace” and will work to enable new coordination and communication models for smoother, more efficient and robust air traffic flow. The student team members are: Mehrnaz Sabet (lead), Aaron Babu, Marcus Lee, Joshua Park, Francis Pham, Owen Sorber, Roopak Srinivasan, and Austin Zhao. Faculty mentors are Sanjiban Choudhury and Susan Fussell. University of Washington, Seattle The team’s project is titled “Investigation on Cryogenic Fluid Chill-Down Time for Supersonic Transport Usage” and will investigate using vortex generators to reduce the  boil-off of cryogenic fluids in pipes. Student team members are Ryan Fidelis (lead), Alexander Ala, and Robert Breidenthal. The faculty mentor is Fiona Spencer.

PHL / Martin's End

Martin’s End Ryan Scails & Andre Yvon Curated by Curatorial Fellow Charlotte G. Chin Greene September 14 - October 21, 2023 Opening Reception: September 14, 6-9pm

Tiger Strikes Asteroid Philadelphia is pleased to present Martin’s End, an exhibition of work by Ryan Scails and Andre Yvon that ponders image-making in the wake of the 2016 election and growth of generative artificial intelligence. Working with opacity, structure, and density, Scails and Yvon critique the primacy of technological frames in the perception and construction of engineered things. Elements of control and hyper-reality meet in the multi-layered airbrush paintings of Yvon and Scails’s rendered drawings and fiber-based sculptures. Yvon elaborates their deconstructive manual technique within a range of source images, such as lawn grass, spiderwebs, an orchid, and a mugshot of NSA whistleblower Reality Winner, who served a prison sentence for leaking an intelligence report on Russian interference in the 2016 US elections. Engaging the act of looking through exacting renderings of speculative technical objects and “anti-exposure units,” Scails’s modular soft sculptures resist institutional imposition at their seams. His dye bath carriers invite the viewer to consider life in a world without industrially-manufactured colors, a ready-to-hand proposal for a provisional, survivable future, beyond images. The work of both artists opens discussion around what 20th-century philosopher Martin Heidegger deemed “the end of philosophy” - namely, the cybernetic quality of research that measures, analyzes, and modifies the physical and social world. What do images initiate? Where do they end?

He owned and operated Jay Bee Radio on Lancaster Avenue in West Philadelphia for 34 years and served as a church leader at Unity Temple Worship Center and Restoration Station Christian Fellowship. Leonard M. Minus, 75, of Philadelphia, prominent business owner for more than three decades, church leader, teacher, and mentor, died Monday, Dec. 12, of pulmonary hypertension and heart failure at Lankenau Medical Center. The owner and operator of Jay Bee Radio on Lancaster Avenue in West Philadelphia from 1985 to 2019, Mr. Minus, affectionately called JayBee by friends and fellow business owners, was a mainstay on the busy 4400 block of Lancaster Avenue. He not only sold, installed, and repaired TVs, sound systems, car radios, computers, and other electronics for 34 years, he collaborated with other entrepreneurs regarding neighborhood development and employed many young people in the city’s summer work program. His affable personality, open-door policy regarding business opportunities, and dedication to his church and community made him popular in whichever circle he was moving. “I’ll always hold onto those conversations you would have with me about life and love,” a friend said in a Facebook tribute. He advocated integrity and personal independence, and his motto was: “Be your own boss, and you can make your own rules.” His daughter Arlene Minus-Johnson said: “He wanted people to figure things out for themselves. Get a book. Go online. Do it yourself.” Mr. Minus first worked for Jack Broad, the founder of Jay Bee Radio, as an 18-year-old in 1965. He bought the business when Broad retired in 1985 and later purchased two more properties on the block that operated over the years as a restaurant, water ice store, gift shop, computer store, and other enterprises. Drawn to young people and anyone who wanted to improve, he also worked as a computer and electronics instructor at Lincoln Technical Institute and elsewhere. “He encouraged everyone to be at the table and be a leader,” said his daughter Tracy Wilcox. “He was a problem solver who also wanted to make it happen for someone else.” Minus-Johnson said: “He wanted to impart the importance of working hard.” Mr. Minus joined Unity Temple Worship Center in 1993 and served as deacon, trustee, and on the board of directors. He became a member of Restoration Station Christian Fellowship in 2011 and was a deacon and building manager, and involved with several committees and the youth fellowship. “Plain and simple, Deacon Minus was one of a kind,” one of his pastors at Restoration Station said in a tribute. Another pastor said: “You were so humble, hardworking, and willing to show up. … You had so much wisdom and advice for me, and I appreciate the small talk and the laughs.” Born March 5, 1947, Leonard Monroe Minus grew up in North Philadelphia and graduated from Murrell Dobbins Career and Technical Education High School. He later earned an associate degree at Community College of Philadelphia and a bachelor’s degree in business management from Temple University’s night school. He grew up next door to Doris Louis, and they married in 1965, lived in West Oak Lane, and had daughters Arlene and Tracy and son Leonard II. He also had son Keith Thompson. A tireless volunteer, Mr. Minus served holiday meals at local nursing homes and directed Easter egg hunts and other activities for neighborhood children. He liked to host big dinners on Thanksgiving, and his family always expected something to be overcooked as he tended to doze off during preparations before they arrived. He was a championship bowler and longtime member of a citizens band radio club. He liked jazz music and line dancing, traveled nearly every year to visit family in North Carolina and South Carolina, and enjoyed getaway trips to Las Vegas and Atlantic City. He was robbed and shot at his store in 1997 but refused to abandon his customers and fellow business owners. He finally retired and sold his properties in 2019. In a tribute, his family said: “Leonard always imparted life lessons to all he met.”

In addition to his wife and children, Mr. Minus is survived by eight grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, three brothers, a sister, and other relatives. Three brothers and a sister died earlier. A celebration of his life was held Dec. 21. Donations in his name may be made to Restoration Station Christian Fellowship, 4313 Route 130 S., Park Plaza, Suite A-6, Edgewater Park, N.J. 08010. source
