The Breakdown
A highlight from Is the SEC About to Go Scorched Earth?
"Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW. It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Wednesday, September 20th, and today we're asking whether the SEC is about to go scorched earth. Before we do that, however, if you are enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us on the Breakers Discord. You can find the link in the show notes or go to bit .ly slash breakdown pod. Hello friends, lots to get through today, so let's dive right in. The SEC is not done going after crypto exchanges, according to David Hirsch, the head of the agency's crypto assets and cyber unit. Speaking at the Securities Enforcement Forum Central in Chicago on Tuesday, Hirsch said securities law violations within the industry extend far beyond existing litigation. Now, keep in mind, the crypto division of the SEC is currently bogged down with complex lawsuits against both Coinbase and Binance, two of the largest crypto exchanges. Hirsch said his unit is investigating similar activity across other firms and believes non -compliant business practices, quote, hold true well beyond any two entities. Hirsch warned, Now, the SEC is apparently also turning its gaze towards DeFi platforms in this crusade against crypto intermediaries. Hirsch said, quote, Now, a common theme of recent comments from SEC chair Gary Gensler is to mock, quote, so -called decentralized finance. This perhaps indicates that the SEC believes underlying most DeFi protocols, they will be able to find a company to sue. All that said, despite outlining an ambitious enforcement agenda, Hirsch did concede that the agency's resources are constrained. Over recent decades, the SEC has largely dealt with regulated financial institutions, with The SEC's campaign against crypto firms has largely presented existential threats rather than manageable fines, leading to a significant number of contested lawsuits. Hirsch admitted during the panel that, quote, Reflecting on that point, Hirsch recognized the scale of the task he was proposing, stating that, And similarly, there are a number of centralized platforms out there, some that are acting as unregistered exchanges. So in some ways here, Hirsch is begrudgingly admitting that the SEC is getting close to capacity, at least when it comes to ongoing litigation. They're dealing with Coinbase, Binance and Ripple, all as major cases, LBRY Library seems to be wanting to go to appeal, then there's Grayscale, which continues to be a legal battle, as well as the two recent NFT cases which settled. So the question is, can the SEC handle five lawsuits at once? Can they handle 10? Even if you think the answer is yes, at what point do you think the answer becomes no? Frankly, this is maybe why people like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong are encouraging the industry to take up arms effectively and actually fight these legal battles out in court. Now, of course, this brings up the other question of whether the SEC can bank on funding for additional resources to expand this endeavor or whether they need to have some alternative approach. This, of course, echoes the talking point from both the GOP as well as from Dems like The SEC's regulation by enforcement approach is reaching the end of its limits to the extent that it ever was successful at all, and that a much smarter pathway at this point might actually be rulemaking and guidance rather than just trying to sue the industry off the face of the planet. Look, crypto companies are fighting back. It's only a matter of time before we see some sort of coordinated defense fund, and it wouldn't be surprising to me if even this beleaguered industry can marshal a heck of a lot more resources than the SEC can on its own. Now, the other side of the coin is how much time the SEC actually has left to bring the industry to heel. Fox Business reporter Eleanor Teret tweeted yesterday, Only 13 days left for the SEC to bring enforcement actions that will count towards fiscal year 2023 enforcement numbers. The agency filed 760 total enforcement actions in FY 2022. I wonder if we'll see a surge of cases in the next two weeks? Now, certainly when it comes to the crypto industry, there is a broad sense of bring it on. Crypto trader Laxman writes, SEC warns of upcoming charges against crypto and DeFi exchanges. Few might think this will kill crypto. I feel like this will kill SEC. Crypto McKenna retweeted the headline, SEC warns more charges against crypto and DeFi exchanges are coming, and added the Latin phrase, if you want peace, prepare for war. Simplest of all, the Gordon Law Group just said, bring it on, Gary. Now, moving to the global sphere, a German regulator has stressed the risks of crypto and called for global regulations to apply consistently without exception. On Monday, Rupert Schaefer, executive director of strategy, policy and control at the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, Baffin, published a blog post on the importance of united global regulation on crypto. He warned of the dangers of unregulated crypto firms using a fairly labored analogy to airspace regulation. Schaefer likened the crypto regulation to air traffic control regulations, which are relatively uniform throughout the world. In this analogy, some crypto assets and DeFi projects were UFOs. He stated then that it would be negligent to simply ignore them. Schaefer warned that FTX was a major crash and there would be many more like it to come. Now, the regulator praised the recently passed MICA regulations in Europe, but argued that further steps need to be taken. He produced a long list of global proposals from the Financial Stability Board, the International Association of Securities Commissions, the Financial Action Task Force and the Basel Committee, and this he claimed was enough to establish a global consensus, stating that quote, the international regulatory principles have been adopted and the framework has been set. Now, the common principles must be implemented consistently and consistently worldwide. There should be no white spots in the flight radar. The global rules should also apply to niche financial centers. Now, this blog post comes a little over a week since the conclusion of the G20 summit, which was pitched as an opportunity to discuss global synchronization of crypto policy. G20 leaders did manage to produce an endorsement of the latest set of policy recommendations published by the Financial Stability Board. And in her article previewing the meeting, Noelle Acheson highlighted that the adoption of FSB recommendations was quote, very likely since the recommendations don't actually say anything interesting. Noelle noted that the FSB recommendations are more around notational international cooperation and vague platitudes about enforcing risk management rather than firm policy outlines. At the same time, none of the recommendations mentioned by Schaeffer actually achieved consensus approval at the G20, calling into question how the regulator can claim that there are any common principles whatsoever. Moving over to the UK. The UK House of Lords have passed a bill which would grant authorities the power to freeze and seize crypto assets associated with crime. Currently, UK authorities cannot apply for crypto assets to be frozen unless there has been an arrest or conviction. This bill would allow them to more quickly apply for freeze orders. Hundreds of millions worth of crypto linked to crime have been seized by local authorities, but experts say this new bill could help deal with situations that aren't easily dealt with under the current legal framework. Phil Aris, Director of UK Public Sector Relations at TRM Labs said, A government fact sheet suggested even more broad use, stating that quote, The creation of a crypto asset's specific civil forfeiture power will mitigate the risk posed by those that cannot be prosecuted, but use their funds to further criminality or for terrorist purposes. Isabella Chase, Senior Policy Advisor at blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs suggested that the measure could assist with police funding, stating that quote, Corker Bining was less enthusiastic about the fundraising prospects, noting that as the UK cracks down, quite, they might find that the pool of available targets quickly dwindles as suspected criminals move their assets offshore to less enthusiastically policed jurisdictions. The bill has already been passed in the House of Commons once, so will now return for a second vote before it can be given royal assent to become law. Now, I don't know what sort of free society we're dealing with here. With the big caveat that I am not a lawyer, the discourse around this is pretty wild to me. It seems like they're talking effectively about on -chain asset forfeiture without the requirement to charge anyone with a crime. This is the digital equivalent of police being able to take what they find in your trunk if they search your car and not have to give it back to you. That's an insane policy and so is this. And I hope not just for the sake of the crypto industry, but for the sake of the UK itself, some real, real limits are put around this. Staying in the UK, however, for just a moment, on Tuesday, UK lawmakers passed the controversial online safety bill. The bill requires companies to assess the likelihood of customers encountering illegal content and of children encountering harmful content. Proponents of the bill say it will be used to protect younger internet users and make the web a safer place. The government has claimed the bill would make the UK, quote, the safest place in the world to be online. Critics, however, have warned that depending on how the bill is enforced, it could require companies to do away with encrypted messaging and essentially any notion of online privacy. WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram have all threatened to exit the UK if the bill was passed. Earlier this month, regulators attempted to appease encrypted messaging apps by promising to only implement text scanning if it was technically feasible, but WhatsApp head Will Cathcart appeared unconvinced, tweeting last week that, quote, the fact remains that scanning everyone's messages would destroy privacy as we know it. That was as true last year as it is today. WhatsApp will never break our encryption and remains vigilant against threats to do so. Signal President Meredith Whitaker was a little bit more hopeful that the implementation would be thoughtful. She said, quote, while it's not everything we wanted, we are more optimistic than we were when we began engaging with the UK government. It matters that the government came out publicly clearly acknowledging that there is no technology that can safely and privately scan everyone's communications. At this point, it is imperative that we press regulators to incorporate the government's safely and privately scan end to end encryption communications and push them to clearly and publicly commit to not using the unchecked and unprecedented power vested in them to undermine private communications infrastructure. Whitaker confirmed that Signal would remain available in the UK for the time being. But for content and messaging platforms, the enforcement of the bill is a high stakes issue, with the maximum penalty being up to 10 percent of global revenue. Lastly, today, an update from a story earlier in the week. We have recently talked about JPX, a crypto exchange that has come under fire from Hong Kong authorities. At the time, withdrawals were effectively halted and one influencer had been arrested for promoting the platform. Reporting on Monday morning stated that authorities had received 83 complaints related to assets worth $4 .3 million. Since then, the case has dramatically escalated. Authorities have now received over 1 ,600 complaints involving over $150 million worth of assets. Eight people have now been arrested with the expectation that more arrests are coming. Police have now stated that the arrests are in relation to conspiracy to commit fraud rather than merely promotion of an unlicensed exchange. Twenty locations have been raided across Hong Kong with police seizing cash, jewelry, computers and phones worth around $1 million. Police have frozen around $2 million held in bank accounts owned by arrested suspects, alongside about $5 .5 million in property. Authorities are currently considering the confiscation of around $8 million in criminal proceeds. On Monday, JPX blamed the Securities and Futures Commission and their counterparties within the industry for causing an illiquidity crisis. They said in a statement, When other cryptocurrency exchanges announced their entry into the Hong Kong market and began extensive promotion, JPX was subjected to continuous unfair treatment. The SFC sent letters to all of our partners requesting the cessation of cooperation with the platform. On Tuesday, however, Elizabeth Wong, director of licensing at the SFC, confirmed that the regulator had asked counterparties to step away from the unlicensed exchange. The regulator had been monitoring the platform for months and issued numerous warnings to users. She said that since those warnings were issued, JPX went from bad to worse. The events surrounding JPX could be seen either as a sign that Hong Kong authorities are serious about enforcement of new crypto regulations or an indication that the city still has a long way to go in cleaning up the industry. As we discussed before, given Hong Kong's role as a bellwether for Chinese authorities' attitudes towards crypto, this is a story that we will continue to watch. However, for now, that is going to do it for today's breakdown. I appreciate you listening, as always. Until next time, be safe and take care of each other.

The FAA wants to govern it as much as possible using the regulations it has for helicopters and other low -flying aircraft. Service could begin as soon as 2028, but first... They'll have to devise requirements for pilot training. Companies that operate them will have to start airlines and then the aircraft themselves also have to be approved. The industry hopes to operate like Uber and Lyft with service on demand. To help make that possible, FAA does say that they would like to create corridors for these new aircraft, giving them more freedom to operate at will.

"Jinx things by saying this. But it feels like inflation is maybe starting to come down a little bit, at least it's not accelerating. Yeah. Let's put it that way. Well, here's how here's what I've been thinking about, which is that for the last year and a half, we've done all of these episodes on supply chains and disruptions for this or that reason. And all of the various times we've used the term perfect storm to describe certain things in certain industries. Perfect storm of purpose. My guess right now, you know, in January 2023, is that 2020 threes episodes will be a little less dominated by these topics. That would be my guess. I'm guessing that this year we do a few fewer perfect storm episodes. I think that's right. But I think, you know, we spoke a lot about what it was that people didn't see coming when it comes to inflation. Why did a lot of economists get it wrong? Why was the inflation that was supposed to be transitory, you know, maybe it was transitory in the sense that it was narrow, you know, not a big sort of macro unleashed inflation, but it definitely stuck around longer than a lot of people expected. And so every time we have these big questions, like why aren't we better at forecasting inflation? It provides an opportunity to maybe learn something and start thinking about it in a slightly different way. Well, yeah, absolutely. And I would say there's really two things that I feel are unanswered by all of the conversations that we've had in the last year. So one is, still, is inflation like a macro or a micro thing. Did it happen because if you categories really had some disruptions and then spilled elsewhere and therefore it's not really about fiscal or monetary policy specifically. And B, what are the tools that are best to address that? Because it is important to get inflation down, but on the other hand, there's a pretty good argument that if the issue is some sort of disruption at the ports or whatever, that sort of like strict blunt instruments like raising rates. Raising rates. Aren't necessarily the best approach to dealing with that kind of thing. Or raising rates won't grow more trees to turn into lumber. That's right. Or more births at the ports or anything like that. So I'm so glad you said that because today we are going to be speaking with one of our odd lots favorites and she has just written a new paper which she says is inspired by some of the conversations that we've had on odd lots. But it's also just really interesting because it presents a new sort of third way potentially. I'm thinking about inflation. Not transitory, not persistent, a new more interesting third option. And that maybe could help us think about ways of accepting yes inflation is real. It is a problem, but that some of these blunt instruments that just treat inflation is a function of there's too much money in the economy. We need there to be less. Maybe there are better approaches than just this sort of like blunt monetary approaches to addressing them. Absolutely. So without further ado, we are going to be speaking today to Isabella Weber. She is of course an economics professor over at the university of Massachusetts Amherst and you might remember her from some previous episodes. So Isabella, thank you so much for coming back on odd lots. Thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure. Thank you. So the paper is called inflation in times of overlapping emergencies. Systemically significant prices from an input output perspective. But I just want to get you to say on camera that this is inspired by awful. It is. I mean, I have to be listening to your podcast or through the pandemic and as you were just saying, obviously you have been tracing all these price shocks that have been rippling through the economy. So this paper is trying to come up with a framework to trace these shocks and ripple effects in a somewhat more aggregate and possibly less fine print, but maybe a little bit more formal. Kind of fashion. I love that. The most self serving first question we've ever asked on an interview. What is an input output approach mean? Because my understanding is that this is actually like a very old idea in economics, but that is some kind of it's actually been forgotten is my understanding and that the sort of various versions of monetary thinking. And you see this paper seems to be like going back to like an older tradition in economics. Can you talk a little bit about what this is? Yeah, so as you said, we tend to think about inflation as a macro phenomenon, right? It's basically just about the movement of aggregate measures. Whereas what we are trying to do here is to think of prices as kind of an interconnected network where since one sector is output is another sector's input and therefore one sector's output prices are the cost of another sector. You can kind of trace the price movements across the whole production network, which input output tables allow you to do. So these tables basically like register the relationships of input and outputs across the whole economy. Historically, input output tables really had a breakthrough during the wartime, where the question was, how can we hit the enemies economy in ways that we kind of like with the minimal number of bombs to create maximum damage to really undermine the enemy economies ability to even fight a war. I mean, concretely, of course, this is mainly about the German economy. So therefore, it really is a method of identifying points that are of particular systemic significance for the economy as a whole back then the idea was to identify these points of vulnerability to, as I said, create the structure. The idea of our paper is to say, if we can identify these points of vulnerabilities, then we can actually kind of know what the potential sources of these record effects that can create macro outcomes could be. So if some prices matter more than others, we want to know what these prices are and input output is what method of trying to identify these systemically significant sectors. It's so funny because, you know, of course, and we talked about this the last time you were on late last year, you took a lot of heat for saying, well, maybe there's a time for having some discussion about price controls. Everyone freaked out about that. And yet they're like, okay, now let's control the price of money as if that isn't a form of price control and yet, of course. Central banking, the ultimate price

"The 5th round is the special team's grand for the Patriots. Maybe they take Annie Isabella and 5th round pick for Nikhil Harry. Maybe you even get something a little bit better than that. I don't think he will, but maybe you can get two day three picks or something like that for Nikhil. That's the way that I look at that trade. I think Nikhil Harry brand Isabella straight up the Patriots are giving up a little bit too much there. In my opinion. I'm with you, a 110%. When you watch the kill Harry's tape, another team is not gonna say, oh, snap, that's about a thousand yard receiver that we can get from the Patriots because they're not using them correctly. But they are looking at them and saying, he's a big body guy. He can block, we can use them in the red zone, maybe a little bit. I think that they have more tape to back it up, like you said. There is something a little bit more there for you to sink your teeth into. If the Patriots traded for Andy Isabella today, the only thing that I could pull up to be optimistic about bringing him in is his college tape. There is no tape for him against from Arizona. Maybe I could look in pre season. Maybe there's some pre season Arizona tape that you could pull up and he Isabella. So that would be an interesting move for the patrons, though. Isabella coming back to the New England area. Nikhil going back out to the Arizona state of Arizona. Both going back to their college programs. I know Nikhil Harry lives in Arizona for most of the off season. So I think he'd be pretty happy about going back out west. I think that would be something that he would welcome as well. So we'll see. I think that that's a possibility, but I wanted to get to that quickly. All right, let's go watch the drills. Go watch the combine. Alex and I will be back on tomorrow. We will recap what we see tonight out of the wide receivers will also talk about offensive line and running backs, apparently, too, where you're talking to me into the freaking come on. You know it's important. In minutes important. The third down back roll is important. That's all I'm looking for. But that's who's working out tomorrow. That's just working out tomorrow. That's all I'm saying. All right, so Alex and I will be back tomorrow. We'll keep it right here on patriots beat and on patriots press pass all weekend long during the combine.

The Domestication of the Potato
"How many foods that we eat today. All around the world simply didn't exist in the old world of africa asia and europe corn chocolate vanilla peppers green beans pumpkins. Tomatoes and squash are all foods that were completely unknown to the peoples of the old world. Perhaps the most important neural food. However was the humble potato. The potato was originally native to south. America it was first domesticated impro- anywheres from five thousand ten thousand years ago. It's really hard to tell because potatoes aren't very well preserved in the archaeological record. But we know that they were being grown. Probably when studies were first being built in mesopotamia specifically they were probably first domesticated around the area of lake titicaca high in the andes mountains. The first confirmed evidence in the archaeological record comes from the year. Thousand five hundred. You're the coastal city of n con just north of lima peru. The potato was the primary food stuff for the incan empire. Potatoes cooked by ancient peruvians. We're not too dissimilar to how they're cook today. They were baked or boiled and might have been mashed. Potato is pretty much have to be cooked in order for the starches in them to be digestible by humans. Some potato varieties had toxic compounds that required soaking and clay and water to leach out the toxic substances one popular way of processing potatoes in the andes was to make this involved repeatedly leaving them outside to freeze and then thawing them. The next day this freeze drying would go on for three to five nights then they would be laid out and stomped on to remove any remaining water. The result would be white. Rock looking thing not too dissimilar from appealed potato but because it was dehydrated it could last for years. Potatoes had been domesticated all the way down the andes mountains to southern patagonia. In what is today chile prior to the arrival of europeans. The first spanish explorers to the region led by pizarro in fifteen thirty to recognize the value of the potato but when they brought them back to europe it was mostly for consumption by the south american people they brought back with them supposedly and i know this because i actually paid a visit. The first place in europe to grow potatoes was the garden at the monastery in guadalupe spain. It was a place that queen isabella frequently visited.

Fires Force the U.S. Forest Service to Close
"For the first time in forty five years the us forest service has closed the boundary waters canoe area is wilderness in northern minnesota includes one million acres of lakes and rivers and forests many of which are now on fire. Minnesota public radio's dan crocker. Reports many of the fires here are burning within the boundary waters. But the largest is just south. It's the greenwood fire and it scorched more than thirty square miles of forest and it's forced the evacuation of nearly three hundred households. I met one of those evacuees. Doug landy at a recent public information meeting. He lives in the woods near the tiny town of isabella. That's a summer for mao for watching the forest to get compromised. He says the forest is tinder-dry from extreme drought and unusually hot weather earlier this week. Gusty winds sent the fire roaring through a chain of lakes surrounded by dozens of homes and cabins mike birdman and his wife got a call from the county sheriff telling him their cabin is still standing. But he's afraid at the forest surrounding it will look like a moonscape we're approaching seventy and it's not going to grow back in our lifetime and yeah there's just so much uncertainty it just like a slow motion disaster happening just to the north in the boundary waters wilderness rangers have paddled into warren campers that they have to leave. The original closure order was set to expire today but it since been extended at least another week. That's a big blow for the many businesses that count on these few months to outfit those campers. We have people from all fifty states who come here every summer to experience the boundary waters jason's aboard ski runs the outfitting company in the small town of ely which bills itself as the canoe capital of the world in august. It's usually packed with visitors. Canoe strapped to the tops of their cars. But not now and you know to have sort of this immediate closure and have to tell somebody who's traveled from texas or california and are like standing in front of us ready to go out for a week in the woods that actually everything's changed and your boundary waters vacation is off is really difficult. The forest service is encouraging tourists to canoe and camp in areas outside the wilderness. Ends aboard. Ski is trying to stay positive.

"To the one that had when i was in my thirties when i as i started the business graham children came along quickly. I have my elderly mother in poland. Had to keep an eye on. And so i started to really basically take an interest in older entrepreneurship water. The issues and i think what the experience i think at the age of sixties you you do get to a point in your life you the news year identity and a little bit of your confidence that things and i could no longer go out and sell to the same people i used to do because they were about thirty years younger than me. Basically you become a little bit invisible when you're exactly whereas i just powered through my life. I suddenly became aware of my age. So that got me going. And i had a conversation with professor mark to actually business school and he said why. Don't you come do some research on this doctoral research on this issue because it's the i hate the term. They call it in all the research. Paper senior entrepreneurship. I hate to as entrepreneurship in late in life. Which i think is anyone over the age of fifty and so i thought that's really interesting. So that's what i did. And what my research was was looking at the gender desk paychecks or first of all. Why would you want to become an entrepreneur in in later life and you know i found there were issues that were you know. There were a lot of commonalities between the men and women. I interview to sort of same amounted men as women all over the uk. And you know yes. There were many commonalities but there were also very distinct differences. I mean for example quite astonishingly. The men i interviewed. What'd reasons why they wanted to set up in business was because they were concerned about their mental and physical health. They solve it. Setting up in business would suit to preserve them a bit longer basic. Abbas women didn't have any issues like that. So i looked at why and then i look to societal attitudes norms which was really interesting. Because what you see is in general again. Common to older man women is that is just exactly what you said. This entrepreneur identity is usually associated with people much younger. And you know people. Don't think about an older person as a business person or setting up a business. While i saw when i interviewed all these people is that it's sort of regarded into slightly deviant. He knows it what you want to set up a business unit. You should be putting your feet up on Is multiplied by a number of times in the attitude towards women where the such a perspective of their gender roles in society. That once you reach your sarah today geragos looking after grandchildren or you're looking. After elderly relatives. I would enact. Would you in wanting to set up a business for you know. Your role is to support everyone else. And that came across very s told me and then i look to a third dimension was around watson the barriers there are to get such resources that will people need. For example. Common issue was the fact that they all saw that the business support out there was absolutely unsuitable for them. They feel that it really address their specific needs and some of the issues. You know as i mentioned around confidence the fact the question of whether their skills are transferable and whether they can be used in the new business and the needs to be a bit more support on the way before you actually get to the point of business planning and cash flow forecast and so forth. Yeah it is fascinating. Actually i think this business of what you said about men wanting something to do women never are short of anything to. We're always busy and we're always doing things never released it still whereas men when they retire often just completely deteriorate. Yeah such a thing. Is that the answer. The possibly setting up such a businesses in means of of maintaining their mental and physical health. And so there is apart from obviously the economic benefits because water also came across strongly was the the women. China interviewed more often. Wanted to set up in business out of necessity because their retirement incomes were just not sufficient because the man most of them have pensions because they have no uninterrupted work. Been just gone through. their lights. working accumulated wherever they had their pensions. whereas most of the women didn't have that and so in some ways they were also less risk averse. They have nothing to lose. I mean one lady remember. She's runs this really successful. She's set up to catering outlets and runs them very successfully brought to her family to help and she said that her first loan from the bank she didn't know how to write a business plan didn't know how to figures together so she went and asked for a car loan. She got power alone and use that to set your business. You know it's just fantastic. Had another lady who's running this really successful downsizing company either. She helps people to with size and at the time she was nearly retired so she's probably retired now but she used to say that would be running this company sitting in the evening doing it. Oh getting hold things together and her husband would come home and still expect us to your that. Made me was that. She said he never got to give so. We know they're not. None of these. Women were victims. They negotiated the whole environment and today in such a way. It was just really inspiring. They knew they had to negotiate these conflicts but the did it and got their own way in the end. Which is great. You come over to me isabella as somebody who says yes to things that come along that you don't shy away from from challenges. Would that be true. I think so. I think so. I think you just have to keep going. I mean i'm going to be m seventy three and a couple of months time if that next month. That's the challenge of doing something new. Just getting it down. And once i saw from these women to is that they just acted unites the passion. It's the drive. It's the interest that keeps you going in life. i think you would awarded a c. b in two thousand and four the new years honours list for services to industry and languages. How'd you feel well. It was a fantastic honour. Couldn't believe it was just fantastic. I went to the palace to my husband and my mother with me. And i just was very very tribe but i must say my greatest achievement was doing this doctorate. I managed along to along the way a had a honorary doctor maston from sheffield hallam and that was great and i was very pleased. Actually doing this was for me. One migrates in a field that that i'm not going to be doing anymore qualifications anymore to pasture. I'm setting up. You know i. I want to set up a foundation that will support older women in business. And that's the. That's what i'm in the process of organizing now. I've really really enjoyed talking to you isabella.

"The spanish position one of the goals of the inquisition was to use catholicism as a unifying force in spain the primary targets of the inquisition were jews and muslims. Eventually all of the jews in the country were expelled. And those who had converted. We're still the subject of the inquisition. The reconquista which had been slowly pushing the muslims back for centuries was finally completed in fourteen ninety two. This was big news throughout europe. It was the first time that christians had actually gained ground against muslim sense. Constantinople had fallen if you ask people in europe back then what was the most important thing that happened in fourteen ninety two. This is what they probably would have mentioned and speaking of fourteen ninety two. The thing which isabela is best known for is funding. The expedition of columbus this really was mostly isabella's call. Columbus had pitched the idea to several other countries but they passed on the idea because they thought he vastly underestimated the distance to asia when traveling west which ironically enough they were correct. Isabella convened a committee that came to the same conclusion that columbus calculations we're way off however they concluded that it was still probably worth the risk. If he was wrong and never returned they would have lost little but if he was right it could make them fantastic fortune. It was really one of the first instances of venture financing. It resulted in the capitulation of santa fe which gave columbus financing titles and ten percent of any money derived from the venture. The result of this decision eventually led to the creation of the spanish empire. Which would eventually at one point become the largest empire in the world in addition to these really big things which he oversaw. She also took the lead in reforming the laws and finances of the country as well. Isabella and ferdinand had five children who survived to adulthood the eldest daughter. Isabella became the queen of portugal. John became the prince of asturias a title. Which is now the spanish equivalent to the prince of wales and is given to the heir-apparent. Joanna became the queen of casteel after her mother died and married into the habsburg dynasty which is how spain became part of the holy roman empire. Maria married another king of portugal also becoming queen and finally the youngest child katherine went onto marry a guy named henry. The eighth of england in their marriage and subsequent divorce sparked the creation of the church of england. Isabella passed away. In fifteen o. Four at the age of fifty three she unquestionably had an outsized impact. On the world the voyages of columbus the completion of the kista and the spanish inquisition were all major events in world history albeit not always positive isabella's choice to merge the kingdoms of castillon leon with aragon navarre was the singular decision that created the modern country of spain.

Basically taking control over the whole museum fairly effortlessly it seems like The protocol was that that it shouldn't be that easy but it turned out to be that easy and the two men obviously turn out to. Police officers handcuffed the the two guards and tie them up down in the basement of the museum before going on and eighty one minute excursion through the museum and stealing thirteen pieces of art including a few masterworks. That are just unbelievably priceless. A rembrandt storm on the sea of galilee. Another rembrandt ladies and gentlemen in black. The vermeer one only thirty four thirty five in the world.

Usually the last book rock bottom bottom took me eighteen months front to me. Sixty five is sixty. Five thousand words ahead to put some coherent order. Took longer gasa said. You made the mistake in your first novel. Good gone bad of killing off your best character about. His name was streaker and he was the former cop who went to the dockside. And that's where the title came. Good going bad and everybody log. This particular character and i hated that i killed him off because i wanted to write him again so i just invented. His brother and his brother is a cult. Jessop who is Pardon my new series. That i started. And he has some of the similar traits since his brother and likes to go rogue and doesn't always follow by the rules so he was a lot of fun to write so.

On march eighteenth march seventeenth by the way is saint patrick's day. Which is one of the biggest holidays in boston. And this year. It was happening on a two men who were dressed as policemen there. Witnesses who saw them on the street but they assume that they were police. Never thought anything of it. There were two guards on duty that night. One twenty three years old and one thousand five years old from one of them. It was literally their first night on the job. Museum procedure dictated that one of the guards would patrol the building while the other said at the desk with the button which could notify the police at one twenty. Am the two men in police. Uniforms buzz the side entrance and they said they were there because of disturbance call. The guards didn't know of any disturbance call but they looked like real cops and it was saint patrick's day so something might have happened so they let the police in the men in police. Uniforms told the guard at the desk. Call the other guard down which he did one of the supposed cops then said to the guard behind the desk the desk where the buzzer was. Then he looked like a suspect they were looking for them to come forward which he did and then threw him up against the wall and handcuffed him. They've ended at the same to the other guard. And that's what. They notified them that this was a robbery. They then put tape over. The guards is and head and march them down into the basement where they were tied to pipes. The robbers took their wallets and told them that they knew where they lived in. If they cooperated they would get a reward in a year. All of that took about ten minutes from there. The robbers went into the gallery and started taking art in all. They took thirteen items an ancient chinese vase. A golden eagle from an unholy flag five sketches from gaza. Three works of rembrandt one from any one from flink and biggest of all the concert by vermeer one of only thirty four known vermeer paintings in the world. The robbers checked on the guards before they left. Took the security tape and left the building. The entire operation took eighty one minutes. The total estimated value of everything which was taken has been placed as high as five hundred million The vermeer itself was worth half the entire amount and it is believed to be the most expensive stolen object in the world when the next shift of guards arrived. They couldn't contact anyone to be let inside. They contacted the police who then finally found the guards bound and tied in the basement. With your work gone. The question then turned to who did it and whereas the art one of the things that stood out is that the robbers probably weren't experts in art and they probably weren't sent there to steal something in particular the way they handled the art indicated. Lack of familiarity moreover. They didn't take some far more. Valuable objects works by raphael michelangelo anticipations the rape of europa probably the most valuable object in the museum were untouched.

Washington, D.C. - House Approves Bill To Create Smithsonian Museum For American Latinos
"A Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino is one step closer to becoming a reality. The House approved a bill last week with bipartisan support in favor of it. And while the road to the museum opening is still long, the bill is sparking celebration and conversation within Latino communities. Here's NPR's Isabella Gomez. Salsa singer Celia Cruz. The traditions of the Dialogues, Martos Holiday alone is worth and the farm workers movement. The Smithsonian Museum of the American Latino can potentially explore Ah lot of the contributions of latte next people in the United States, but there are still logistics to work out. The bill now goes to the Senate. Then it gets signed by the White House, then the government to determine how much the museum will cost and where it will be. The location is going to be the biggest concern for me. That's a story the Rodriguez who's been lobbying for the creation of this museum for the past 15 years. And he knows where in Washington he wants it to be. You cannot Not be on the national Mall. There's also the cost, half of which will likely come from the federal government. The rest will be from donors. We all remember stories of how really stepped up for the American resume. We need to make sure that we have our donors like an overwintering. Bodegas estimates that building the museum from Scratch could take another 10 years, which gives lots of time to air some skepticism. Can one museum really encapsulate so many different cultures and experiences? Will it expand on what? Letting me that or let next identity looks like for Afro Latinos and indigenous people? My immediate reaction is I'm nervous simply because The branding of Latino lad, especially by stands. Broadcasting doesn't reflect the fact that Afro Latinos exists. That's got the knack Liston from Boston who studies the history of music in Latin ex culture. She says she thinks the museum is a good opportunity to finally have some tough conversations on race. Gender immigration. I think this is Ah, very exciting Start. If I'm gonna be honest, I do think that there's definitely a way for us to get it right. It just requires a level of honestly, I think some people are now becoming aware of that we didn't have before. And she's not the only one with some pause. Bala Santos is a museum educator in Chicago. She says she doesn't want the Smithsonian to brush over the struggles. Immigrants face when they come here. With an overly optimistic message. I would love to have Ah latte next museum where you could say they're actually structural inequities here. And it isn't about cease up. Whether it's about how are we setting up our society's? That's why museum champion is toward the Rodriguez says. Now is the time for people to raise their voices and explore those tensions. These are all historical moments they need to be laid out. It's not a story that's going to be very clean and print. That's not what we're trying to do, and it's not on the shoulders of one single Smithsonian Institution to tell that story.
