About Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands (traditional Chinese: 濱海灣金沙; simplified Chinese: 滨海湾金沙) is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore. Developed by Las Vegas Sands, it is billed as the world's most expensive standalone casino property at S$8 billion, including cost of the prime land.[1][2]
With the casino complete, the resort features a 2,561-room hotel, a 1,300,000-square-foot (120,000 m2) convention-exhibition centre, the 800,000-square-foot (74,000 m2) The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands mall, an iconic ArtScience museum, two large theatres, seven "celebrity chef" restaurants, two floating Crystal Pavilions, an ice skating rink, and the world's largest atrium casino with 500 tables and 1,600 slot machines. The complex is topped by a 340m-long SkyPark with a capacity of 3,900 people and a 150m infinity swimming pool, set on top of the world's largest public cantilevered platform, which overhangs the north tower by 67m.[3][4] The 20-hectare resort was designed by Moshe Safdie Architects. The local architect of record was Aedas Singapore, and engineering was provided by Arup and Parsons Brinkerhoff (MEP). The main contractor was Ssangyong Engineering and Construction.[5]
Originally set to open in 2009, Las Vegas Sands faced delays caused by escalating costs of material and labour shortages from the onset. The severe global financial crisis also pressured the company to delay its projects elsewhere to complete the integrated resort.[6] Although Marina Bay Sands has been compared on scale and development costs to MGM's CityCenter, the latter is a mixed-use development, with condominium properties (comprising three of the seven main structures) being sold off.[7][8]
The resort was officially opened with a two-day celebration on 23 June 2010 at 3.18 pm, after a partial opening (which included the casino) on 27 April 2010.[9] The SkyPark opened a day later on 24 June 2010. The theatres were completed in time for the first performance by Riverdance on 30 November 2010. The floating pavilions are still being built and are expected to be fully completed by 2011. The indoor skating rink, which uses artificial ice, opened to a performance by Michelle Kwan on 18 December 2010. The ArtScience Museum opened to the public and the debut of a 13-minute light, laser and water spectacle called Wonder Full on 19 February 2011 marked the full completion of the entire Integrated Resort.
The grand opening of Marina Bay Sands was held on 17 February 2011. It also marked the opening of the seven celebrity chef restaurants. The highly-anticipated Broadway musical The Lion King debuted on 3 March 2011.[10] The last portion of the Marina Bay Sands, the floating pavilions, were finally opened to the public when the two tenants (Louis Vuitton and Pangaea Club) opened on 18 September 2011 and 22 September 2011 respectively.
About Garden by the Bay
Gardens by the Bay consists of three distinctive waterfront gardens – Bay South, Bay East and Bay Central, spanning a total of 101 hectares. They are set in the heart of Singapore’s new downtown Marina Bay, encircling the Marina Reservoir like a green necklace. The Gardens will complement the array of attractions around Marina Bay.
Gardens by the Bay is an integral part of a strategy by the Singapore government that further transforms Singapore from a ‘Garden City’ to a ‘City in a Garden’, in which the city is woven into a green and floral tapestry. This aims to raise the quality of life in Singapore with a more holistic and all-encompassing programme that enhances greenery and flora in the city. First announced to the public by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during the National Day Rally in August 2005, Gardens by the Bay will become Singapore’s premier urban outdoor recreation space, and a national icon.
An international competition for the design of the master plan was held in January 2006 to elicit the best designs for the Gardens. This attracted more than 70 entries submitted by 170 firms from 24 countries, from which two firms – Grant Associates and Gustafson Porter – were eventually awarded the master plan design for the Bay South and Bay East Gardens respectively.
The Gardens are being developed in phases. Bay South is currently being constructed and is slated to be completed by June 2012. Bay East has been developed as an interim park in support of the Youth Olympic Games 2010, and is scheduled to open to the public in late 2011 or early 2012. The full master plan implementation of Bay East and the development of Bay Central are part of the next phase of development.

THE VETERINARY RECORD APRIL 1st. 1972
Some Observations on the Diseases of Brunus edwardii (Species nova)

Woodcote Avenue, Wallington, Surrey
Vet. Rec. (1972). 90. 382-385
SUMMARY.-The correct specific and generic terminology for Brunus edwardii is discussed, and. the results given of a survey involving 1,599 complete specimens and 539 miscellaneous appendages. These results indicate that primary infectious agents do not occur, and that the species is safe for children to handle. Suggestions as to the future role of the profession in relation to this species are made.
Europa: Pasajes de Invierno, una instalación site specific de Florentino Díaz comisariada por Carlota Álvarez Basso para el programa de intervenciones Abierto x Obras, en la antigua cámara frigorífica de lo que fue el matadero municipal. La pieza se inscribe además en la programación de PhotoEspaña 2015.
La pieza conformada a partir de materiales de derribo, representa un barracón sobre el que no cesa de caer la lluvia. En su interior, pantallas de video nos muestran las imágenes de vidas anónimas del siglo XX, recogidas de álbumes encontrados en mercadillos, con el Winterreise (Viaje de invierno) de Schubert sonando de fondo. Según la comisaria Carlota Álvarez Basso, son “historias que hablan de los momentos de felicidad ajena que han caído en el olvido, de la fragilidad de nuestra existencia y de la inconsistencia de la memoria, tanto de la individual como de la colectiva”.
“El espectador debe recorrer estos pasajes de invierno a través de estos videos en los que, paradójicamente, no cabe imaginar el trágico destino que aguarda a sus protagonistas, y que nos hacen pensar en el incierto destino que nos espera” señala Florentino Díaz. Respecto al título, Díaz se inspira en El Libro de los Pasajes, el gran proyecto inacabado de Walter Benjamin, fallecido en 1940, que “cuestiona el desarrollo de una historia que hasta ese momento no había cumplido las expectativas de liberación humana, y que en sus ruinas mostraba la imposibilidad de alcanzar sus metas últimas”, explica el artista.
Las obras de Florentino Díaz (Cáceres - 1954) se caracterizan, desde los años 1990, por el uso de materiales e imágenes recuperadas, elementos aparentemente sencillos pero cargados de sentido y de connotación emocional. Desde hace muchos años Florentino Díaz ha ido guardando pequeños tesoros encontrados en el Rastro de Madrid o de las ciudades que visitaba en sus viajes. Objetos, libros, fotografías que a veces nos desvelan y otras se guardan los secretos de vidas e historias de otro tiempo. El artista es además un referente cuyo trabajo ha girado siempre en torno al concepto de lo doméstico, de la casa, concebida como un espacio cada vez más difícil de habitar. Sus instalaciones se han expuesto en centros nacionales e internacionales, como el CAB DE Burgos, MEIAC de Badajoz, Museo Barjola de Gijón, Casal Solleriç Espai 4 de Mallorca, Museo de Cáceres, Salón de los 16, Kunstamt Kreuzberg-Bethanien de Berlín, y en ferias como Art Cologne, MACO-MEXICO, Liste The Young Art Fair de Basel, Art Chicago, Busan Bienal de Corea. Y forma parte de colecciones privadas, museos e instituciones como CGAC de A Coruña, Colección La Caixa, Fundación Coca-Cola España, Colección Banco de España, Museo de Cáceres, entre otras.
Abierto x Obras
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que incentiva el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero. Desde 2007 Abierto x Obras ha acogido las intervenciones de artistas como Daniel Canogar, Jannis Kounnellis, Román Signer, Carlos Garaicoa, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, Jordi Colomer, Los Carpinteros, Cristina Lucas, o Eugenio Ampudia, entre otros. Próximamente se podrá disfrutar del trabajo del artista británico Haroon Mirza.

I honestly don't know what the specific purpose of this smaller shrine is, but it has a nice osaisen-bako (offering box) and lanterns. I didn't pay much attention as I was intent on getting to the torii jungle before the holiday crowds.
Fushimi Inari Taisha is a Shinto shrine in Fushimi, Kyoto. It is the head of all Japan's Inari shrines--famous for its many vermilion torii. There are over 10,000 torii on the property that stretch up the side of the mountain, Fushimi-yama. The gates are donations from people all over Japan. The shrine itself was established in 711 and is dedicated to the Shinto god of rice, Inari (his messenger is a fox). Inari has been depicted as a white fox who governs things such as metalwork, which is why we often see him associated with the great swordsmiths of Japan. Much of the structure was destroyed during the Onin War, but it was re-built as you see today.

The United States government established a draft board during World War II. The purpose was to establish which men were or were not qualified for military duty. Males were required to register and complete a physical and a written exam as part of their screening. After testing was completed, men were placed into various “categories.” Category one was the best-qualified while Category four indicated a male disqualified for one of many reasons, such as too many children, flat feet, or poor education. The draft board issued notices to report for classification, medical exams, and induction.

En Silencio es una instalación site specific realizada por la artista brasileña Sandra Cinto y comisariada por David Barro para el programa Gran Escala de Matadero Madrid. Un programa que propone a una serie de artistas abordar un espacio de naturaleza industrial y grandes dimensiones, ahora resuelto por Sandra Cinto como un paisaje imaginario, íntimo y rotundo, aunque se estructure desde lo frágil. Si por un lado se reivindica el silencio en una sociedad invadida por el ruido, por otro esa tentativa, silenciada, individual, se resuelve expandida, rotunda, colectiva. La experiencia es física, pero sobre todo psíquica, mental.
El espacio abismal de Matadero se convierte ahora en una habitación dominada por una mesa donde Sandra Cinto, escenifica un sentimiento, el de la dificultad de la creación, de componer, de manifestarse. En Silencio hace que el tiempo se pare como cuando estamos ante una fotografía antigua. Como cuando la música no suena, la creación es un callejón sin salida, igual que cuando una escalera no conduce a ningún lugar o cuando los libros no se pueden abrir.
Sandra Cinto. Nacida en Santo André (Brasil) en 1968, Sandra Cinto vive y trabaja en São Paulo, donde codirige el espacio-taller de artistas Ateliê Fidalga. Además de las habituales muestras en las galerías que la representan, como Casa Triângulo en São Paulo y Tanya Bonakdar en Nueva York, ha realizado exposiciones individuales en el Museo de Arte Moderna de São Paulo, Seattle Art Museum, Instituto Tomie Ohtake o, actualmente, en el Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno de las Palmas de Gran Canaria, así como colectivas como las celebradas en Museum of Contemporary Art de Miami, Museum of Contemporary Art de San Diego o el Centre Georges Pompidou. Seleccionada en importantes proyectos editoriales como Vitamin D (Phaidon), su obra se encuentra en colecciones como la Fundación ARCO, Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea, Museo de Arte Moderna de São Paulo, Centro de Arte Contemporânea de Inhotim o The Philips Collection.

West Norwood Cemetery, London.
From Wikipedia:
In 1830 George Frederick Carden, editor of The Penny Magazine, successfully petitioned Parliament about the parlous state of London's over-full church burial yards. In response they passed a number of laws that effectively halted burials in London's churchyards, moving them 'to places where they would be less prejudicial to the health of the inhabitants'. In 1836 a specific Parliamentary statute enabled the South Metropolitan Cemetery Company to purchase land from the estate of the late Lord Thurlow in what was then called Lower Norwood and create the second of the 'Magnificent Seven' cemeteries. Architect William Tite was a director of the cemetery company and designed the landscaping, some monuments, and was eventually interred there himself.
The new cemetery was consecrated by the Bishop of Winchester on 7 December 1837, receiving its first burial soon after, and was the first cemetery in the UK to be designed in the new Gothic style. It offered a rural setting in open countryside, as it lay outside London at that time. Its design and location attracted the attention of wealthy - and not so wealthy - Victorians, who commissioned many fine mausoleums and memorials for their burial plots and vaults.
The cemetery was built on the site of the ancient Great North Wood, from which Norwood took its name. Although many trees had been cleared, a number of mature specimens were included in Tite's original landscaping. A tree survey of the cemetery in 2005 identified one oak which is thought to date from 1540-1640. Fourteen more oaks, a maple and an ash tree were identified that predate the foundation of the cemetery in 1836. In the first years of the cemetery's operation, these were joined by coniferous trees and evergreen holm oaks.[2]
The site originally included two Gothic chapels at the crest of the hill, but these were badly damaged by bombing during World War II. The Dissenter's chapel was rebuilt as a Crematorium while the Episcopal chapel was levelled, to be replaced by a memorial garden over its crypt. In 1842 a section of the cemetery was acquired by London's Greek community for a Greek Orthodox cemetery, and this soon filled with many fine monuments and large mausoleums. Grade II*-listed St Stephen's Chapel within the Greek section is attributed to architect John Oldrid Scott. Another section in the south-east corner was acquired by St Mary-at-Hill in the City of London for its own parish burials.
Between 1978 and 1993 the cemetery achieved several levels of official recognition by being included in the West Norwood Conservation Area, while the entrance arch, the fine railings and 64 monuments were listed as Grade II and II* - more listed monuments than any other cemetery.
However, space for new burials ran out in the inter-war years, and, deprived of this regular source of income, the cemetery company was unable to properly afford its upkeep. Lambeth Council compulsorily purchased the cemetery in 1965, and controversially claimed ownership over existing graves. Lambeth changed some of the character of the grounds through "lawn conversion", removing at least 10,000 monuments (including some of the listed monuments) and restarted new burials by re-using plots. Southwark Diocesan Consistory Court cases in 1991 and 1995 found this to be illegal and brought about the cessation of new burials, and forced the restoration of a handful of the damaged or removed monuments. In addition it required Lambeth to publish an index of cleared plots so that the current entitled owners can request restitution. As a consequence of the courts' findings Lambeth now operates the cemetery in accordance with a scheme of management under the joint control of all interested parties that includes Lambeth, the Diocese, the local Friends of West Norwood Cemetery and conservation bodies such as English Heritage.

SUMMARY.-The correct specific and generic terminology for Brunus edwardii is discussed, and. the results given of a survey involving 1,599 complete specimens and 539 miscellaneous appendages. These results indicate that primary infectious agents do not occur, and that the species is safe for children to handle. Suggestions as to the future role of the profession in relation to this species are made.
Europa: Pasajes de Invierno, una instalación site specific de Florentino Díaz comisariada por Carlota Álvarez Basso para el programa de intervenciones Abierto x Obras, en la antigua cámara frigorífica de lo que fue el matadero municipal. La pieza se inscribe además en la programación de PhotoEspaña 2015.
La pieza conformada a partir de materiales de derribo, representa un barracón sobre el que no cesa de caer la lluvia. En su interior, pantallas de video nos muestran las imágenes de vidas anónimas del siglo XX, recogidas de álbumes encontrados en mercadillos, con el Winterreise (Viaje de invierno) de Schubert sonando de fondo. Según la comisaria Carlota Álvarez Basso, son “historias que hablan de los momentos de felicidad ajena que han caído en el olvido, de la fragilidad de nuestra existencia y de la inconsistencia de la memoria, tanto de la individual como de la colectiva”.
“El espectador debe recorrer estos pasajes de invierno a través de estos videos en los que, paradójicamente, no cabe imaginar el trágico destino que aguarda a sus protagonistas, y que nos hacen pensar en el incierto destino que nos espera” señala Florentino Díaz. Respecto al título, Díaz se inspira en El Libro de los Pasajes, el gran proyecto inacabado de Walter Benjamin, fallecido en 1940, que “cuestiona el desarrollo de una historia que hasta ese momento no había cumplido las expectativas de liberación humana, y que en sus ruinas mostraba la imposibilidad de alcanzar sus metas últimas”, explica el artista.
Las obras de Florentino Díaz (Cáceres - 1954) se caracterizan, desde los años 1990, por el uso de materiales e imágenes recuperadas, elementos aparentemente sencillos pero cargados de sentido y de connotación emocional. Desde hace muchos años Florentino Díaz ha ido guardando pequeños tesoros encontrados en el Rastro de Madrid o de las ciudades que visitaba en sus viajes. Objetos, libros, fotografías que a veces nos desvelan y otras se guardan los secretos de vidas e historias de otro tiempo. El artista es además un referente cuyo trabajo ha girado siempre en torno al concepto de lo doméstico, de la casa, concebida como un espacio cada vez más difícil de habitar. Sus instalaciones se han expuesto en centros nacionales e internacionales, como el CAB DE Burgos, MEIAC de Badajoz, Museo Barjola de Gijón, Casal Solleriç Espai 4 de Mallorca, Museo de Cáceres, Salón de los 16, Kunstamt Kreuzberg-Bethanien de Berlín, y en ferias como Art Cologne, MACO-MEXICO, Liste The Young Art Fair de Basel, Art Chicago, Busan Bienal de Corea. Y forma parte de colecciones privadas, museos e instituciones como CGAC de A Coruña, Colección La Caixa, Fundación Coca-Cola España, Colección Banco de España, Museo de Cáceres, entre otras.
Abierto x Obras
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que incentiva el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero. Desde 2007 Abierto x Obras ha acogido las intervenciones de artistas como Daniel Canogar, Jannis Kounnellis, Román Signer, Carlos Garaicoa, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, Jordi Colomer, Los Carpinteros, Cristina Lucas, o Eugenio Ampudia, entre otros. Próximamente se podrá disfrutar del trabajo del artista británico Haroon Mirza.

📓 Sun Tzu - The Art of War:
Describes the nine common situations (or stages) in a campaign, from scattering to deadly, and the specific focus that a commander will need in order to successfully navigate them.
📝 Type: eDucational book
🎨 Style: Military Art
️ Read by Moira Fogarty
㊗️ Translator by Giles, Lionel
👩🏫 The Art of War (孫子兵法) is an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the Late Spring and Autumn Period (roughly 5th century BC). The work, which is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu ("Master Sun"), is composed of 13 chapters. Each one is devoted to a different set of skills or art related to warfare and how it applies to military strategy and tactics. For almost 1,500 years it was the lead text in an anthology that was formalized as the Seven Military Classics by Emperor Shenzong of Song in 1080. The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare and has influenced both Far Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy, politics, sports, lifestyles and beyond.
The book contains a detailed explanation and analysis of the 5th-century BC Chinese military, from weapons, environmental conditions, and strategy to rank and discipline. Sun also stressed the importance of intelligence operatives and espionage to the war effort. Considered one of history's finest military tacticians and analysts, his teachings and strategies formed the basis of advanced military training for millennia to come.
The book was translated into French and published in 1772 (re-published in 1782) by the French Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot. A partial translation into English was attempted by British officer Everard Ferguson Calthrop in 1905 under the title The Book of War. The first annotated English translation was completed and published by Lionel Giles in 1910. Military and political leaders such as the Chinese communist revolutionary Mao Zedong, Japanese daimyō Takeda Shingen, Vietnamese general Võ Nguyên Giáp, and American military generals Douglas MacArthur and Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. are all cited as having drawn inspiration from the book.

Countries in specific regions very often have similar challenges and opportunities related to flour fortification. FFI’s network of partners frequently hosts regional workshops to address these concerns. Pictured here at the first regional workshop for Asia in 2007 are Dr. Mohd Nasir Azudin, now retired Global Technical Director for Interflour Holdings, and Grace Chang, Quality Assurance Manager from Interflours' Prestasi Flour Mill in Malaysia.
The patrol race, specific to the cadet program, is tailor-made for cadets, because it puts more emphasis on teamwork, and on the interdependence between both teammates. Although they have to cover the ski loop at the same pace, they can also take advantage of each other's strengths on the shooting range and in the penalty loops. Indeed, the teammate who has the most difficulty to hit targets, can count on the other to complete the work by hitting his or her targets in crossfire. In addition, if they must ski penalty loops because of missed targets, the one with the greater physical endurance can perform loops, thus giving a break to the other teammate. Or they may share the task. Real teamwork!
♥Details about this Specific Listing:
Attention all lovers of oranges and yellows.
This necklace is bold, textural, vivid and quite a statement piece.
It was designed using strong orange nylon cording, and then I hand strung an array of beads, some gorgeous mussel shell coin shaped beads (average about 15mm across), a large amount of cube and round painted wooden beads (ranging from about 10mm-14mm across), as well as an assortment of glass beads ranging from 3mm to 8mm, along with some lucite floral beads.
By beading and connecting the two nylon strands at random points, creating one chunky, bold strand that can be worn as a single strand or wrapped (depending on the size of the wearer's neck) and worn as a double or triple (colour/choker) strand necklace. As well, it can be wrapped multiple times around your wrist, creating a super wide cuff wrap bracelet.
This piece is full of textural and visual elements from matte finishes to shiny iridescence and loads of whimsy, bold, hot colours!
This piece is weighty because of the incredible amount of spectacular beads.
The clasp was created making a loop with the bead cord, with a large wooden bead to loop it onto (see photo 4). Because of that clasp, it can be wrapped around your wrist and neck how ever many times you want. Again see the photos.
Versatility!
1. wrapped cuff bracelet
2. wear it as a single long strand
3. Wrap twice as a double strand necklace
4. Wrap it three times and for some it can be a choker/collar statement piece.
5. Wear it as body jewellery
Spectacular!

curadoria Bruno de Almeida
A Galeria Leme apresenta o terceiro site-specific comissionado para o projeto SITU, curado por Bruno de Almeida, dando continuidade a uma pesquisa mais ampla sobre formas de pensar e discutir a produção do espaço (urbano) através de um diálogo entre arte, arquitetura e cidade.
SITU convida o artista Venezuelano Ricardo Alcaide a conceber uma obra que resulte de uma reflexão sobre o contexto urbano entendido como ampla matriz físico-social, e que se relacione simultaneamente com o exterior do edifício da galeria e com o espaço público contíguo.
Ricardo Alcaide projeta um grande volume geométrico negro que ocupa quase a totalidade do pátio externo da galeria. A face que se apresenta para o transeunte se desenvolve em rampa desde o chão, mais próximo à calçada, se elevando até ao topo da parede ao fundo do pátio e chegando a seis metros de altura. O volume disseca diagonalmente as fachadas da galeria, anulando o espaço externo e bloqueando quase inteiramente as duas entradas para o edifício. Para a construção deste elemento monumental o artista usa uma madeira vulgarmente utilizada na construção civil como estrutura para moldes de concreto in loco, o mesmo processo de construção das paredes da galeria.
Devido à obstrução do acesso habitual ao edifício, Alcaide desloca a entrada para a fachada oposta, utilizando uma porta que se encontra habitualmente fechada. Este novo acesso faz referência à entrada original do primeiro projeto da galeria, do arquiteto Paulo Mendes da Rocha, construída em 2004 e depois demolida em 2011 para dar lugar à sua réplica, a estrutura que existe hoje. Com a realocação e a reorientação do edifício, o projeto inicial foi readaptado e consequentemente a inversão da entrada foi incorporada.
Através da ocupação e quase inutilização de um espaço (semi)público e da consequente adaptação do percurso de entrada, Ricardo Alcaide induz a um reexame da relação física do visitante com o edifício e subverte o funcionamento normal da instituição. Criando uma circunstância espacial que se localiza no limiar entre conflito e uma espécie de institucionalização da provisoriedade, o artista tira partido da fricção entre rigidez e improviso institucional que está frequentemente presente na nossa experiência da cidade, se materializando comumente no encontro entre a arquitetura “oficial" e as construções improvisadas que cumulativamente se acoplam a esta e são resultados de pactos territoriais paralelos à própria ordem jurídico-normativa oficial.

Informal Order
curated by Bruno de Almeida
Galeria Leme presents the third site-specific commissioned for SITU, curated by Bruno de Almeida, giving continuity to a broader research on ways of thinking and discussing the production of (urban) space through a dialogue between art, architecture and city.
SITU invites Venezuelan artist Ricardo Alcaide to devise a work that results from a reflection on the urban context understood as a broad physical-social matrix, and that simultaneously relates to the exterior of the gallery’s building and to the adjacent public space.
Ricardo Alcaide designs a large black geometric volume that occupies almost the entire outdoor patio of the gallery. The face that presents itself to the passersby develops in ramp from the ground, closer to the sidewalk, rising up to six meters until the top of the wall at the back of the courtyard. The volume diagonally dissects the gallery facades, nullifying the external space and almost entirely blocking the two entrances to the building. For the construction of this monumental element the artist uses a wood that is commonly used in construction as a framework for molds of in situ concrete, the same construction process of the gallery’s walls.
Due to the obstruction of the normal access into the building, Alcaide displaces the entry to the opposite facade, using a door which is customarily closed. This new access refers to the original entry of the gallery’s first project, from architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha, built in 2004 and then demolished in 2011 to make way for its replica, the structure that exists today. With the relocation and reorientation of the building the initial project was readapted and consequently the reversal of the entrance was incorporated.
Through the occupation and almost obliteration of a (semi)public space and the subsequent adaptation of the entrance route, Ricardo Alcaide induces a reexamination of the visitor's physical relationship with the building and subverts the normal functioning of the institution. Creating a spatial condition that is located on the threshold of conflict and an “institutionalization” of provisionality, the artist takes advantage of the friction between rigidity and institutional improvisation that is often present in our experience of the city, commonly materializing itself in the clash between the “official” architecture and the makeshift constructions that are cumulatively coupled to it, being the result of territorial pacts that are parallel to the official legal-normative order.

To be more specific, it's the Northern Reflecting Pool...
Madison Square is formed by the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway at 23rd Street in the New York City borough of Manhattan. The square was named for James Madison, fourth President of the United States and the principal author of the United States Constitution. The focus of the square is Madison Square Park, a 6.2 acre public park.
The park and the square are at the northern end of the Flatiron District neighborhood of Manhattan. The use of "Madison Square" as a name for the neighborhood has fallen off, and it is rarely heard. The neighborhood to the north and west of the park is NoMad ("NOrth of MADison Square Park") and to the north and east is Rose Hill.
Notable buildings around Madison Square include the Flatiron Building, the Toy Center, the New York Life Building, and the
Met Life Tower. Another bit of trivia about the park, is that from 1876 to 1882, the torch and arm of the Statue of Liberty were
exhibited in the park in an effort to raise funds for the building of the pedestal of the statue.
Every good Western movie has a good, old-fashioned showdown. First, there is an issue or a conflict, then, the next thing you know, everyone is out in the street and it ends with dramatic results. While this is a good formula for cinema, the last thing we look forward to in global economics is a showdown. Economic showdowns can negatively impact growth, stock prices and inflation.
Today, a number of economic issues and conflicts could lead to a showdown. Some of these showdowns have a short-term impact, while others have a longer-term impact – and they’ll ultimately lead to an economic slowdown in the U.S.
Trade tensions
As we start 2019, trade tensions dominate the headlines. Will the trade showdown lead to a trade war? A history lesson may give us clues as to what a trade war looks like and the impact it would have on the economy.
Tariffs, which protect specific industries, have been part of U.S. history since our nation was founded. The most punitive tariffs were put in place in 1930 when President Herbert Hoover passed the Smoot-Hawley Act. This act placed an approximate 60 percent tariff on a broad basket of products and caused dozens of countries to retaliate. U.S. exports and imports to and from Europe declined by 66 percent between 1929 and 1932. Tariffs added to the already strained economy and prolonged the depression.
Today, U.S. tariffs are among the lowest in the world. Consider the following points of comparison:
•According to the World Bank, the average U.S. import tariff across all products is 1.6 percent.
•China’s average tariff is 3.5 percent.
•Mexico’s average tariff is 4.4 percent.
•The U.S. has only a 2.5 percent duty on imported automobiles from Europe and China.
•Europe has a 10 percent duty on automobiles imported from the U.S.
•China recently cut the tariff on U.S. cars from 25 percent to 15 percent.
With these numbers in mind, it can be difficult to see free trade or even fair trade – let the showdown begin. This showdown may lead to a slowdown in global growth. In addition, if not resolved, tariffs will increase prices, leading to margin pressure on corporate America and inflation for the consumer.
Tight labor market
Another showdown looming is the challenge that a tight labor market brings. According to the National Federation of Independent Businesses, two of the top concerns small business owners have are finding workers and the quality of workers. With unemployment at 3.9 percent, the labor market is tight and if businesses can’t find workers, economic activity may slow while wages will continue to increase.
Over the past nine years, business has been good. The economy has expanded at an average growth rate of 2.2 percent. The economy can continue expanding if there is labor force growth and productivity gains – but neither of these are increasing significantly. Labor force growth in the past year is a paltry 1.3 percent and productivity gains are up a mere 1.3 percent. If businesses can’t find workers and there are limited productivity gains, economic growth will slow.
Average hourly earnings are up 3.2 percent year-over-year. This is good for workers, as they have more discretionary income. However, it can be challenging for companies as the rising wages also increase their costs. If wages go up in stagnant to slowing economic activity, it becomes difficult for companies to cover costs, let alone grow. Wage inflation can be a significant driver of overall inflation, something the Federal Reserve (Fed) is watching closely.
The Fed
The Fed may get a bad rap. It is blamed for ending economic expansions by increasing interest rates too fast or too much. In late 2018, data showed the economy was slowing, but the Fed communicated a steady-as-she-goes policy. As a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average sold off sharply on Oct. 10, down 831 points and again on Dec. 19, tumbling 348 points – all due to the threat of higher interest rates.
However, in January 2019, the Fed said it will be patient and data-dependent. This sent the stock market up 747 points and the risk of a showdown dissipated. It is quite clear that the uncertainty around the Fed’s monetary policy continues to be a risk.
In previous economic cycles, the Fed raised rates well over the neutral interest rate, which is the rate at which real gross domestic product (GDP) is growing at its trend rate and inflation is stable. Many think raising rates over the neutral interest rate is what ended previous economic expansions. In 2019, we expect GDP to grow very close to trend GDP. And in the last half of 2018, inflation—using Consumer Price Index as a barometer—decreased. The Fed suggests that the neutral rate is around 2.8 percent. Therefore, we forecast a one-and-done Fed hike in 2019. If this happens, the current economic expansion will continue through 2019.
Pennsylvania Avenue
We will experience several politically based showdowns this year. Hopefully the first one is over by the time you read this. The government has been shut down for almost four weeks. Government shutdowns are not new, as Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Obama all had periods of government shutdowns. Perhaps it has become a political pawn.
Economic activity slows down when the government is shut down. We estimate that GDP is reduced by 0.10 percent each week the government is closed. As I write this, we are in week four, with no end in sight. First quarter GDP growth could be cut in half or reduced to zero if the shutdown lingers, which may cause us to reduce our annual GDP forecast.
Another potential showdown in Washington, D.C. is the expanding fiscal deficit and our national debt. Typically, the budget deficit is going down late in an economic cycle, which makes sense. Business is good, unemployment is down and tax revenue is up, so the deficit shrinks. But not this time around. Business is good, unemployment is down, yet the budget deficit is getting larger—and that means our national debt continues to grow.
This showdown will likely be political rhetoric this year, but becomes a very serious economic showdown in years to come. Academic research looks specifically at the relationship between net debt, which is total debt minus intra-government owned debt, and GDP. Studies argue that if a country has more than 90 percent net debt to GDP ratio, it cannot experience economic growth greater than 2 percent. This appears to be true for Japan and Italy, which each have well over 100 percent net debt to GDP ratio. Both countries have grown their economies approximately 1.3 percent annually over the past three years. Today, the U.S. has 78 percent net debt to GDP ratio. It’s getting larger and may be a future showdown to keep an eye on.
Showdown to Slowdown
Economic Forecast
The global theme has changed, moving from synchronized global growth to synchronized global slowdown. The fundamentals in the U.S. are slowing, but only back to trend growth. We expect GDP growth to be between 2.0 and 2.4 percent in 2019, a slowdown from 2018. This is not a negative theme – if directionally correct, the U.S. economy will set the record for the longest expansion in history in July 2019. In addition, 2.0-2.4 percent growth will allow companies to be profitable and individuals to increase consumption.
Equity Expectations
An expanding economy should provide a positive backdrop for revenue and earnings growth. We forecast 7 percent earnings growth in 2019. The dramatic market sell-off in the fourth quarter created an oversold posture. Because of this opportunity, we anticipate 10-12 percent total returns in equites and the S&P 500 ending the year at 2800. Keep in mind, the market climbs a wall of worry. Today, there are plenty of things to worry about.
Fixed Income Outlook
We expect the Fed to hike rates only once in 2019, moving short rates to 2.75 percent by year end. Due to the lack of inflation expectations, we anticipate the yield curve will remain relatively flat and the 10-year Treasury yield should finish the year around 3.10 percent.
Riding into the Sunset
As these showdowns escalate, confidence weakens and may have a temporary impact on economic activity. However, history tells us that many of these showdowns are not new. Often, they are resolved and the impact on the economy is manageable. No doubt there will be volatility due to these showdowns, but overall, current data suggests another year of moderate GDP growth.
