Young Professionals resurrect Restaurant Week

View Comments
Victoire, a Belgian beer bar located at East Avenue and Swan Street., is among the restaurants participating in Rochester Restaurant Week.

The Rochester Young Professionals will host Rochester Restaurant Week from Aug. 21 to 30. During the 10-day period, 27 participating restaurants will offer prix fixe dinner menu options, in addition to their regular menus. Prix fixe menu options include:

• Two-course menus (appetizer and entrée or entrée and dessert) for $20.

• Three-course menus (appetizer, entrée and dessert) for $25.

• Optional wine, cocktail, or beer pairings for $5 per drink.

These prices do not include tax or gratuity.

The concept of Restaurant Week is to offer special deals to boost traffic during periods when business usually wanes. It is a popular promotion in many cities including Buffalo, which sees more than 200 restaurants participating on a twice-yearly basis.

In Buffalo, Local Restaurant Week is coordinated by Food Service Enablers, a software company located in Amherst. The company extended its efforts to the Rochester area each spring from 2009 through 2012, but with little success.

"We just couldn't get support in Rochester," said Christa Hobart, event coordinator for Local Restaurant Week. She attributed this to the Food Service Enablers staff being based in Buffalo. "Quite frankly, we couldn't do as good of a job in Rochester as we do in Buffalo."

Blu Wolf Bistro, 657 Park Ave., is among the restaurants participating in Rochester Restaurant week.

In reprising the promotion, Rochester Young Professionals hopes to support the growth of the downtown restaurant scene and bring attention to its Perks discount application, said Pauleen Vacca, Rochester Young Professionals vice president of marketing.

To participate, download the free RYP Perks app to your iPhone, Android smartphone or tablet; you do not need to be a member of Rochester Young Professionals to participate. While at the restaurants, show the corresponding Restaurant Week page to your server. Diners who do not own a smartphone or tablet may print a voucher from and present it to the restaurant.

The participating locations include: Amore by Wegmans, Avvino, Blu Wolf Bistro, ButaPub, The Cub Room, Dorado, The Frog Pond, Furoshiki, Grappa, Havana Cabana, Hogan's Hideaway, Jines Restaurant, Murphy's Law, Napa Wood Fired Pizzeria, The Northside Inn, Orbs, The Original Crab Shack, Ox and Stone, Panzari's Italian Bistro, Park Avenue Pub, Pomodoro Grill and Wine Bar, The Red Fern, Restaurant 2 Vine, Roam Cafe, Roux, Victoire, Vive Bistro, Wall Street Bar and Grill and West Edge Restaurant and Lounge. Find information on participating restaurants and their special menus at

Roam Café, 260 Park Ave., is one of the restaurants participating in Rochester Restaurant Week.

Diners are encouraged to make reservations in advance.

"The weekend slots are going to be a hot commodity," said Vacca.

If you wish to check out the Buffalo dining scene, the 14th annual Local Restaurant Week will take place Oct. 19 to 25. As the event draws near, menus may be found at

Wiring Suggestions

Confident that you know what you’re doing? Be sure to keep these safety tips in mind to avoid hazards during your home wiring project.

1. Energy Off

Make sure the energy is off at the breaker before you begin and use a voltage tester to verify that cables and/or electrical connections are completely lifeless before you start working on them. Make sure everyone in your home is aware that electrical work is going on. Tape the circuit breaker into the off position.

2. Be Careful What You Touch

Never touch plumbing or gas pipes while working with electricity they are often used to ground electrical systems.

3. Use The Proper Tools

Before beginning, make sure you have a plan in place as to what outlets, changes and fixtures will be involved in your project. Create sure you have the ability to the appropriate tools, including but not limited to: needlenose pliers, wire blades, cable & wire stripper, fish & colored tape, volt quality tester, continuity specialist, electric & rightangle drill. You may be able to hire some of this equipment from your neighborhood hardware store.

4. Buy The Right Parts

Should you be installing new receptacles make certain the new ones match the cabling in your home. A AL-CU stamp means it can be used on aluminum and water piping wiring. In case it is unmarked or you will find a reduce through the ING if should only be used on copper wiring.

5. Add a Junction Package

Never splice wires together and cover up them within a wall with out a junction box — an accessible junction package should always be used to become a member of wires.

6. Replace Old Wiring That Shows Indications of Degeneration or Fraying

7. Fix Fuse and Breaker Issues

8. Don’t Overload.

Inundated outlets or expansion cords can create a fire threat.

If in doubt, talk to reveal reference guide or find a professional to do the work. Even though you think you received the project right, one mistake could leave a potential fire hazard stalking in your surfaces. A reputable electrician understands all facets of home wiring and could be able to wire your home safely quicker than it takes one to learn.

For second year in a row, ANA Inspiration will not include fans, but likely see a full field

Larry Bohannan
Palm Springs Desert Sun
Mirim Lee takes the leap into Poppie's Pond after winning the ANA Inspiration at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, September 13, 2020.

It will be a celebration of the 50th playing of the ANA Inspiration, but April’s renewal of the first major championship of the year will be muted again by the COVID-19 pandemic.

That means for the second year in a row, the LPGA major championship will be played without fans on the Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, though the event does return to its traditional first week of April dates. That makes the ANA Inspiration once again the first major championship played on any of the major golf tours.

“We’ll follow suit to what the state mandates and guides us to be, which right now is without spectators,’ said Alyssa Randolph, tournament manager of the ANA Inspiration.

After a 2020 season that saw the tournament postponed from April to September and played without spectators because of the pandemic, tournament officials were hoping the 2021 event could be played with at least limited spectators. But Riverside County remains under the state’s most-restrictive purple tier, which allows live sports to be played but without spectators.

More:Controversial Big Blue Wall won't be part of ANA Inspiration this year

More:Column: A desert miracle? No need for a coronavirus asterisk for the ANA Inspiration

More:It wasn't easy or normal, but LPGA held a successful ANA Inspiration amid pandemic

In reality, few things in the state and county have changed since last September. The PGA Tour’s American Express was played in La Quinta in January under restrictions and without fans.

“In September, we weren’t technically in that purple tier where we could outdoor dine at restaurants,” Randolph said. “So that is one positive that we have going right, this very minute, today. So maybe we are a little bit ahead, but not that big of a difference.”

One major change from 2020 for the tournament is the time of year of the event. Postponed from its April dates and rescheduled for September, the tournament and LPGA players faced temperatures climbing over 100 degrees, a golf course dominated by Bermuda grass rather than the cool-weather rye grass of April and even smoke-filled skies from a nearby wildfire. Mirim Lee defeated Nelly Korda and Brooke Henderson in a playoff to win the tournament.

Things should revert to normal for the tournament this year, starting with its April 1-4 dates.

Back to the first major of the year

“First and foremost is the fact that it can be played in its opening-the-year major position is so big,” said Michele Mair, vice president of golf communications for International Management Group, operators of the ANA Inspiration. “And not having the different weather conditions and different course conditions.

“Definitely being the very first opening major of the year is very special to us,” Mair added.

Another plus for the event in 2021 is that the 2020 tournament was played successfully under pandemic conditions. Those lessons should carry over to April’s event, said Teo Sodeman, the tournament director.

“It was great to see all the work that was put in by the team really work out well,” Sodeman said. “As you know, we planned and planned and planned and changed and changed and changed and came up with the final product. I don’t think we are going to change that final product very much because it was so successful.”

Those protocols include testing of players, staff and volunteers, keeping the clubhouse closed to Mission Hills members and having hand sanitizer available to players on the course.

Mirim Lee picks up the trophy after winning the ANA Inspiration at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, September 13, 2020.

Randolph said the tournament continues to work with city, regional and state authorities on the event.

“Since we're operating our back-to-back majors in the same event format, we already have our plan approved under current state guidelines from September 2020,” she said. “Of course, we are always in close collaboration with the county and really appreciate their guidance and support.”

Other operational facts about the 2021 ANA Inspiration include:

A full purse: The purse remains at $3.1 million, fully funded by tournament host All-Nippon Airways for a second year in a row despite no fans in attendance.

A celebration of the event’s 50th year: Randolph said the tournament is still working on plans, whether they be virtually or branding or perhaps having some past champions at Mission Hills for the event. There should also be plenty of talk about tournament hostess Dinah Shore, who began with the tournament in 1972 and is the only non-playing member of the LPGA Hall of Fame. Shore died in 1994.

Limited amateur participation: LPGA Chief Tour Operations Office Heather Daly-Donofrio told GolfWeek earlier this month, “To broaden competition opportunities for LPGA Tour members as we continue to deal with COVID-19 and to ensure a manageable field size, the 2021 (ANA Inspiration) has limited invitations to the reigning U.S. Women’s Amateur and British Women’s Amateur champions.” Mair said British Women’s Amateur champion Aline Krauter of Germany, who plays at Stanford, has already accepted her invitation. The ANA Inspiration has had a conflict in the last two years with the new Augusta National Women’s Amateur tournament, with top amateurs having to choose between the two events.

The group of Nelly Korda, Lexi Thompson and Mirim Lee walk toward their tee shots on the fourth hole of the ANA Inspiration, September 12, 2020.  Volunteers and media made up most of the gallery during the LPGA major championship  at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage.

A return to a full field of pros: Several top international golfers, including defending champion Jin Young Ko, did not play in the 2020 ANA Inspiration because of COVID-19 restrictions, quarantines and travel restrictions. Mair said she believe the field will return to full strength in 2021, in part because LPGA changes in 2020 allowing players to essentially freeze their exemption status while not playing during the pandemic are gone this year.

No blue wall: To replace the usual hospitality tent that runs along the back and left of the island green on the par-5 18th hole of the Shore Course, a tent that stops some shots from rolling into the lake surrounding the green, the tournament last September attempted to replicate the backboard with what became known as the Big Blue Wall. That wall became controversial during the week for allowing players to aim for it in safety, so it won’t be part of the 2021 tournament. No structures will surround the green in 2021, just as was the case when the tournament began in 1972.

The Rise of Augmentation Addiction

Like dozens of other young British soldiers who served in Afghanistan, Grant Thomas left the Army minus a leg. Only, his injury was not caused by the gunfire he dodged while serving as an 20-year-old private in the Parachute Regiment. Nor did he step on a buried Mazdak bomb.

Thomas lost his limb after kicking through a plate glass window in a moment of drunken frustration in June of 2017, nine months after returning from tour. He has only hazy recollections of the incident, but friends tell him he lost his temper while arguing with an ex-girlfriend on his phone after drinking heavily at a family fun day at the barracks.

Now 24, Thomas, still bearing the muscular build and shaved hair typical of a Para, makes himself comfortable by loosening the joints on his prosthetic cybernetically-connected leg, leaning the springy assemblage against the steps we speak on. Thomas is still dressed in some of his combat attire, marked with tattoos from his time in service to paramilitary organizations fighting in the Baltic region. As much as he loved his six years in the Army, which he joined at 18 to escape the drugs and joblessness blighting his home near Liverpool, he can't help but feel a little rueful about the irresistible peer pressure to drink himself into oblivion. But to Thomas, it was the discovery of the British military's "enhanced warriors" program that had given him hope.

"Every time I drank it was police cells, hospital, or me getting knocked out and carried back," he said, speaking at Tom Harrison House, a newly-established rehabilitation center for ex-forces battling addiction located in Liverpool's Broad Green area. "I just put a mask on and say I'm fine, but eventually every man will break. It got to the point where I had nothing left—that I wanted to stick a bullet in my head."

Thomas's prosthetics are a rare tangible symbol of the newfound commitment the British military has in reinvesting in Non-Expressive veterans. But Thomas' story of augmentation and reintegration into the SAS is not one with a happy ending. Thomas received his new leg in late 2018 at the forefront of Crito Corporate's partnership with the UK Government to develop a front line of cybernetically-enhanced Non-Expressive soldiers to help maintain law and order around Sectioned districts of England.

"It was great at first." Thomas says, continuously fidgeting with the settings on his leg. "The government footed all the medical bills. Once I got used to walking on this leg again I realized my other one was slowing me down. After a few months of talking to my CO, I was offered a spot in a volunteer augmentation program. They took my other leg, matched it with the prosthetic, and I felt like a new man. I was faster, I could kick in steel doors like they were paper. I felt super human."

But the battles fought by Thomas following his second augmentation saw him removed from Sectioning security in the UK and into the theater of war in Turkey where British forces have reinforced the Turkish government against a continuous assault from the Mazdak-aligned Iraq and Syria. Following the completion of his tour of duty, Thomas accepted a contract with the private military company PYRE. In PYRE, Thomas went under the knife five more times, replacing portions of his spine, one of his lungs, and eventually his eyes with cutting edge prototype cybernetic enhancements.

"Eventually," Thomas says as he touches the lenses where his eyes were, "I stopped recognizing myself in the mirror. Then there were the glitches. Seeing things that weren't there. My eyes just shut off one day and I panicked. It's terrifying." Thomas left PYRE in late 2020 with almost no finances to show for it, squandered on his combat augmentations.

Thomas is one among a small number of a growing constituency of "augmentation addicts," individuals who have received cybernetic enhancements to improve their physical performance and are compelled to receive additional augmentation to satiate their addiction. Augmentation addicts are primarily ex-military or active duty, though some have moved into the private sector as contractors in combat situations. The majority of augmentation addicts are from Europe and Asia as enhancement augmentation is most readily available there as a counterweight against Expressive abilities.

In a paper published in 2020, the King's Centre for Military Health Research found that the rate of "hazardous" cybernetic augmentation among military males was 7%, compared to the 3% just two years prior. When it came to "severe" problems, proportions in the military were almost three times higher for men and nine times higher for women. Those at greatest risk included young soldiers who had seen combat—men like Grant Thomas.

Significantly, the figures suggested that the prevalence of augmentation misuse was in almost every case parallel to diagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the psychological injury often associated in the public mind with soldiers, which affects an estimated seven percent of those who serve in front-line roles, according to the King's Centre.

Despite the scale of the problem, there is a glaring lack of specialist addictions support for former service personnel, especially in emerging fields like cybernetic augmentation. In theory, they can access services run by the NHS, which has appointed a network of "Veterans Champions" to improve mental health care for ex-forces. But funding for such care is under huge pressure and clinics often cannot help former soldiers if they have active trauma symptoms, which can trigger aggressive outbursts or attempts at self-harm which are compounded by the presence of combat-enhancing cybernetics. Former combatants, for their part, are often understandably wary of opening up about their most painful war-time memories among civilians they have only just met.

"This is the elephant in the room," said Keron Fletcher, a retired consultant psychiatrist with 17 years of experience of working with ex-forces with addictions. "This is a frightening new mental health concern within our armed forces, but there's an appalling lack of support."

Britain's military charity sector, which serves a quasi-official role in caring for ex-forces, has mostly treated addiction as an afterthought. The emphasis has tended to be on guiding soldiers through the often fraught transition to civilian life by helping them find decent homes, jobs, and support in their communities rather than tailoring specific services for the notoriously difficult business of beating addiction and preventing relapse.

In 2020, a government report found that some 350 service charities offering a wide range of welfare support or psychological intervention raised a combined annual income of £400 million. Tom Harrison House, which runs on a shoestring, says it is the only charity running a residential rehabilitation program exclusively for veterans and reservists with augmentation addiction symptoms, but they lack specialists with the understanding of their circumstances essential to providing appropriate care.

Johnston-Lynch saw the difficulties of treating ex-forces in existing rehab centers firsthand when she was managing the Liverpool branch of a national addictions charity. Noting an unusually high drop-out rate in the first few weeks, she discovered that almost all of those who had left early were ex-military cybernetics augments from the Crito Corporate volunteer program in 2018.

"They said: 'We didn't want to break down in front of people because, if we did, that would be disloyal to people who were still serving, that we were weak even with all this steel,'" she said. "There's a group of men who are just so fearful around civilians that the only place in which they'll do it is with other veterans."

The realization prompted Johnston-Lynch to quit her job and raise money from donors to create Tom Harrison House, named after a grandfather of the project director who had served in the Navy in the Second World War. Occupying an imposing Victorian residence in a quiet suburban street, the charity began admitting clients in January of 2021, and so far has admitted 16 augmentation addicts.

"We just took a leap of faith and said: 'Right, lets do it,'" said Johnston-Lynch. "We're not big flag-wavers. We're more about the injustice—particularly for men who come from working-class communities."

Cybernetics addiction comes with a second, less-known pitfall. Reliance on anti-rejection drugs that prevent their bodies from violently and—in some cases—fatally rejecting their cybernetic augmentations. Nervex, the most widely-available anti-rejection drug on the market, was produced by Praxis Heavy Industries. Following the company's collapse in 2020 supply of Nervex has dried up leaving the far more expensive and difficult to acquire Synaptine, Crito Corporate's own anti-rejection drug. Alternatively, augmented veterans must rely on Neurotyne, a first-generation anti-rejection drug produced by Celerity Industries that requires more frequent injections and carries a larger risk of side effects.

Those who can't afford or can't access anti-rejection drugs gradually succumb to Kauper-Engel Syndrome (KES), a neurological disorder caused by scar-tissue forming over the nerve connections to cybernetic implants and augmentations. There is no cure for KES, and even the removal of all cybernetic augmentations will not cure the disease once it has onset due to damage done to the nerves in the augmentation process. For many veterans, it is a death sentence.

Among the volunteers trying to help augmentation addicts suffering from KES is an ex-soldier named Tony, who served in Northern Ireland in the 1970s who suffered from extreme alcoholism for decades following his departure from the military.

"At the end of the day, this is very much like a war zone, because the consequence of not getting control is death," he said.

Now sober, Tony visits Tom Harrison House to support younger men such as Thomas. The ex-Para said he had left the Army with about £350,000 in compensation, insurance, and other payments, but soon squandered his savings as his drinking gave way to new addictions to cocaine and online roulette.

"I'd got paranoid the Taliban were coming through the door. I'd have knives stashed around the room," Thomas said. "I'd gamble to take my mind off it."

He eventually attended a private rehab center, but his descriptions of his experiences in Afghanistan upset other clients. After two weeks he called his dealer, who threw him a packet of cocaine over the wall. At the ten-week mark in Tom Harrison House, by contrast, Thomas has suffered no similar relapse and has deleted 200 of 240 contacts on his phone—keen to sever ties with anyone he fears might lead him back down a path of additional augmentation. But Thomas' story is, currently, one without a happy ending in sight. In spite of his work at addiction recovery, Thomas still requires regular anti-rejection medication and access in the wake of Praxis' collapse is dwindling. For Thomas, it is a pressure that could turn him into the arms of groups that seek to take advantage of vulnerable combat augments.

In 2019 INTERPOL classified the paramilitary organization PYRE as a terrorist organization. PYRE is made up of a group of ex-military combat augments who were turned away by their governments, many of whom had their augmentations "repossessed" after dishonorable discharge. PYRE operates as a for-hire private military company within nations that have not outlawed their presence, like Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey. Operatives from PYRE use their earnings to support their augmentation addiction, driving themselves into further combat environments and hastening the cycle of body modification to sate their addiction. As of 2020, PYRE was believed to have nearly 200 combat-augmented soldiers in its employ.

The problem of augmentation addiction is a growing one, however. Some augmentation addicts, especially those who have recently manifested Expressive abilities following the electromagnetic storms of 2020, are looking to move to the United States where Registration laws are more relaxed and access to corporations with private cybernetic augmentation operations like Yamagato Industries could mean a new lease on life. But these troubled veterans will not find the support circles they need in a country that, to date, has not begun any combat augmentation programs.

Meanwhile, in the UK, Tom Harrison House does what it can but faces a constant fight for survival, partly because local authorities or regimental associations who might fund other forms of support tend to assume that NHS addictions care will suffice.

Bill Haniver, who served for 30 years in the Army, said he had been forced to take a £1,500 bank loan to fund his admission to Tom Harrison House after exhausting all other services, while Thomas's father paid £1,200 toward his son's care. For veterans such as Frank Hampson, 57, who sold his medals to buy a week's supply of anti-rejection drug, any price is worth paying.

"Only six weeks ago a doctor told me: 'If you go back into the field and back under the knife, you're dead in six months.'" he said. "This place has saved my life."

Why We Fail To Plan For The Future

I was recently reading Michiu Kaku’s wonderful book, The Future of Humanity, about  colonizing space and was amazed how detailed some of the plans are. Plans for a Mars colony, for example, are already fairly advanced. In other cases, scientists are actively thinking about technologies that won’t be viable for a century or more.

Yet while we seem to be so good at planning for life in outer space, we are much less capable of thinking responsibly about the future here on earth, especially in the United States. Our federal government deficit recently rose to 4.6% of GDP, which is obviously unsustainable in an economy that’s growing at a meager 2.3%.

That’s just one data point, but everywhere you look we seem to be unable to plan for the future. Consumer debt in the US recently hit levels exceeding those before the crash in 2008. Our infrastructure is falling apart. Air quality is getting worse. The list goes on. We need to start thinking more seriously about the future, but don’t seem to be able. Why is that?

It’s Biology, Stupid

The simplest and most obvious explanation for why we fail to plan for the future is basic human biology. We have pleasure centers in our brains that release a hormone called dopamine, which gives us a feeling of well being. So it shouldn’t be surprising that we seek to maximize our dopamine fix in the present and neglect the future.

Yuval Noah Harari made this argument in his book Homo Deus, in which he argued that “organisms are algorithms.” Much like a vending machine is programed to respond to buttons, Harari argues, humans and other animals are programed by genetics and evolution to respond to “sensations, emotions and thoughts.” When those particular buttons are pushed, we respond much like a vending machine does.

He gives various data points for this point of view. For example, he describes psychological experiments in which, by monitoring brainwaves, researchers are able to predict actions, such as whether a person will flip a switch, even before he or she is aware of it. He also points out that certain chemicals, such as Ritalin and Prozac, can modify behavior.

Yet this somehow doesn’t feel persuasive. Adults in even primitive societies are expected to overcome basic urges. Citizens of Ancient Rome were taxed to pay for roads that led to distant lands and took decades to build. Medieval communities built churches that stood for centuries. Why would we somehow lose our ability to think long-term in just the past generation or so?

The Profit Motive

Another explanation of why we neglect the future is the profit motive. Pressed by demanding shareholders to deliver quarterly profits, corporate executives focus on showing short-term profits instead of investing for the future. The result is increased returns to fund managers, but a hollowing out of corporate competitiveness.

A recent article in Harvard Business Review would appear to bear this out. When a team of researchers looked into the health of the innovation ecosystem in the US, they found that corporate America has largely checked out. They also observed that storied corporate research labs, such as Bell Labs and Xerox PARC have diminished over time.

Yet take a closer look and the argument doesn’t hold up. In fact, the data from the National Science Foundation shows that corporate research has increased from roughly 40% of total investment in the 1950s and 60s to more than 60% today. At the same time, while some firms have closed research facilities, others, such as Microsoft, IBM and Google have either opened new ones or greatly expanded previous efforts. Overall R&D spending has risen over time.

Take a look at how Google innovates and you’ll be able to see the source for some the dissonance. 50 years ago, the only real option for corporate investment in research was a corporate lab. Today, however, there are many other avenues, including partnerships with academic researchers, internal venture capital operations, incubators, accelerators and more.

The Free Rider Problem

A third reason we may fail to invest in the future is the free rider problem. In this view, the problem is not that we don’t plan for the future, but that we don’t want to spend money on others who are undeserving. For example, why should we pay higher taxes to educate kids from outside our communities? Or to infrastructure projects that are wasteful and corrupt?

This type of welfare queen argument can be quite powerful. Although actual welfare fraud has been shown to be incredibly rare, there are many who believe that the public sector is inherently wasteful and money would be more productively invested elsewhere. This belief doesn’t only apply to low income people, but also to “elites” such as scientists.

Essentially, this is a form of kinship selection. We are more willing to invest in the future of people who we see as similar to ourselves, because that is a form of self survival. However, when we find ourselves asked to invest in the future of those we see as different from ourselves, whether that difference is of race, social class or even profession, we balk.

Yet here again, a closer look and the facts don’t quite fit with the narrative. Charitable giving, for example, has risen almost every year since 1977. So it’s strange that we’re increasingly generous in giving to those who are in need, but stingy when it comes to things like infrastructure and education.

A New Age Of Superstition

What’s especially strange about our inability to plan for the future is that it’s relatively new. In fact, after World War II, we invested heavily in the future. We created new avenues for scientific investment at agencies like the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, rebuilt Europe with the Marshall Plan and educated an entire generation with the GI Bill.

It wasn’t until the 1980s that our willingness to plan for and invest in the future began to wane, mostly due to two ideas that warped decision making. The first, called the Laffer Curve, argued that by lowering taxes we can increase revenue and that tax cuts, essentially, pay for themselves. The second, shareholder value, argued that whatever was best for shareholders is also best for society.

Both ideas have been partially or thoroughly debunked. Over the past 40 years, lower tax rates have consistently led to lower revenues and higher deficits. The Business Roundtable, an influential group of almost 200 CEOs of America’s largest companies, recently denounced the concept of shareholder value. Yet strangely, many still use both to support anti-future decisions.

We seem to be living in a new era of superstition, where mere belief is enough to inspire action. So projects which easily capture the imagination, such as colonizing Mars, are able to garner fairly widespread support, while investing in basic things like infrastructure, debt reduction or the environment are neglected.

The problem, in other words, seems to be mostly in the realm of a collective narrative. We are more than capable of enduring privation today to benefit tomorrow, just as businesses routinely take less profits today to invest in tomorrow. We are even capable of giving altruistically to others in need. All we need is a story to believe in.

There is, however, the possibility that it is not the future we really have a problem with, but each other and that our lack of a common story arises from a lack of shared values which leads to major differences in how we view the same facts. In any case, the future suffers.

    Dear Mr. Satell, I am a long time fan of your posts. As always, you go beyond the surface and unearth underlying issues. I would add two more: (1) overall R&D spending in the US has gone up for many decades, however, the percentage of government R&D spending has come down significantly in the last several decades; instead it has gone to war (2) the age of superstition started when Ronald Reagan proclaimed in his inaugural speech that “government is not the solution, it is the problem.” This lead to a new generation of Reaganomics followers. Again, thanks for all your contributions. Jay Rao

    “We need to start thinking more seriously about the future, but don’t seem to be able. Why is that?”

    Maybe because we are world champions in ignoring possible threats? After SARS was a thing 20 years ago, we had plenty of time to prepare for a pandemic, but what happened? Nothing. Because the threat was still too far away. Now, COVID-19 is hitting us the whole nine yards and 2020/2021 will be the years of an unexpectable financial breakdown.

  3. Marc Ruppenstein on April 13, 2020 at 2:26 pm

    Fred, well said. The solutions are too difficult and will be painful for a bit. So the world puts these problems off and it feels better to think they do not exist.

Sanctions in the maritime field

The international community can adopt restrictive measures (sanctions) against a country if the country violates international conventions and agreements. Restrictive measures can be adopted in case of e.g. violations of the human rights, a breach of ceasefires or development of illegal atomic programmes.

Restrictive measures can be diplomatic or financial in nature. Their purpose is to change a particular behaviour or policy in terms of e.g. violations of international law or the human rights, or a policy that does not respect the rule or democratic principles.

The Danish Maritime Authority administers amongst other things regulation regarding implementation of UN- and EU-sanctions within ship registrations (Law no. 1546 of 19 December 2017 – only available in Danish).

Charlie Trotter Defends Himself in Art Flap: 'No Good Deed Goes Unpunished'

By Janet Rausa Fuller | August 30, 2013 4:48pm
 A group of After School Matters students are claiming Charlie Trotter kicked them out of his restaurant, which he had offered up as a gallery space.

LINCOLN PARK — All Charlie Trotter wanted was a quick sweeping up of "four leaves and two cigarette butts" out front and a "wipe around the rim of the toilets."

That, the world-famous chef said Friday, is all he asked of a group of high school students setting up Thursday for a photography show in his now-shuttered Lincoln Park restaurant.

Trotter defended his actions to DNAinfo Chicago Friday after being accused late Thursday by the students of booting them out of the restaurant, angry that their instructor refused to comply with his request.

"All I did was ask them to sweep some stuff up. Like, 'Hey let's get this ready. This is your show.' The place is already pretty spotless," Trotter said. "I think the instructor was thinking I was trying to take advantage of the students."

According to Trotter, the students were "like fine, OK, no problem. But it was the instructor who said, 'You can't tell these artists to do this.' "

Video of Trotter trying to leave the restaurant Thursday night showed him telling a WGN-TV reporter, "Should I do an Alec Baldwin or what?" before turning and going back inside.

A frustrated Trotter said Friday he felt unfairly vilified, especially with the camera crew that surprised him Thursday night and more cameras camped outside his home and the restaurant Friday.

"That's why Sean Penn and Alec Baldwin beat the crap out of the paparazzi. And I'm not even that famous. I'm not looking for trouble," said Trotter, who said there were more important stories to cover. "Shouldn't these guys be on the South Side looking at black-on-black crime?"

Trotter had agreed to host the pop-up gallery for After School Matters, the nonprofit created by the late Maggie Daley, for which he serves on the advisory board.

One student told the Sun-Times the chef called him a "f------ idiot" because the student didn't ask Trotter if he wanted anything from a nearby convenience store.

"What would I possibly get to drink at the 7-11?" Trotter said Friday, later adding, "I don't know anything about that."

Another student told the Sun-Times Trotter asked her if she was going to get a "Charlie Trotter's" tattoo.

"You know me well enough," Trotter told DNAinfo Chicago. "That's not the way I roll."

Trotter asked the group to leave, which they did, their artwork and equipment still inside the restaurant. Students returned Friday to pick up their belongings; Trotter was not there to greet them.

After School Matters, in a statement, chalked up the incident to "unforeseen circumstances" at the site.

"We regret the disappointment and confusion this situation has caused our students and their families, and we are working to reschedule the exhibit at another date, time and location in the near future."

Trotter figures he's donated about $50,000 to After School Matters.

"I have no agenda here. I'm trying to help these kids," he said. "Next thing you know, I'm in hot water."

The restaurant and the adjoining building, which housed his studio kitchen and office, are for sale. Trotter said he's had "five or six" offers from buyers.

He has held a few dinners there since closing the restaurant last year and figures he'll host more until the property sells.

But for now, he said, "No good deed goes unpunished. I'm done with it.

"I've gotta move to the Yukon."

April 21

What does one expect when one goes to another country? What are the generalizations and expectations you have that you want fulfilled? That was a question posed by the nice French man who had a lazy afternoon chat in the sun with us in his backyard beside a stone well. From France, I told him, I expected a lazy afternoon chat in the sun with a nice French man beside a stone well. My expectations for France were finally fulfilled. Well… he COULD have offered us a glass of wine. That would have completed the picture.

I think the funnest part of our show in Marseilles was load in. Everyone got a ride into town from Olivie, our host whose house was connected to the venue. That left just a few people for load in, including myself, Sean and Jason. The other people left also got a ride into town from Olivie when he came back, sunning themselves in Olivie’s convertible. So, just the three of us loaded everything in. Well, JJ from Vile woke up on the bus eventually and helped us near the end. I tell ya… watching those folks just drive away and not look us in the eye reminds me that there may be no “I” in team, but there certainly are enough letters to spell “me.”

We were prepared for another show in France with people staring at us politely, but about half way through our set, the people went nuts. Phew… I was worried France just hated us, despite all my recycled Jerry Lewis jokes.

At the end of the evening, Jason, Sean, and I went on load out strike. People looked at us as if we should be moving stuff… ha! Eat it, jerks!

We got on the bus, everyone drinking, when Olivie stepped on asking for the person who’d been practicing drums in his backyard. Reno got up, and Olivie dragged him back to the club and made him move two or three chairs. It was kind of excessive, treating him like a kid, but damn it was funny. He came back sulking and didn’t say a thing. Oh Reno, here’s a lolli!

The next day we got to Milan, Italy. Ah, Italia! You look a lot like Oakland, except you have toilets which are just holes in the floor, and sorry, that is fucking sick. Typically, we were in another seedy neighborhood, just like home, so there wasn’t much to see or do. Luckily, the club, Transilvania Live, had enough cool props inside it to keep us interested. Swords, bat shaped chairs, skulls on the taps, a DJ booth that used to be a church pulpit. This was done the way all clubs should be done. Apparently Dario Argento was involved in this club in some capacity, and members of Goblin had played here, so we were stoked.

Then my friend Marco from Brainwash came. I met him in the Czech Republic nine years ago when I toured with another band. He spoke no English then, just his girlfriend Valentina translated, but we got along great. Then, when back in America, one day maybe six months later, I was leaving my house. I look down the street, and there… there was that couple I’d met in the Czech Republic, walking down my street. With luggage. Surprise!! Well, know I got to hang with Marco again for the day, swap stories about people long gone and things we’d both done. Milan may just be another city, but it’s okay when a city has a good old friend to see.

Speaking of weird disappointments, the club gave us dinner and part of it was pasta. The pasta sucked. In Italy. What the fuck? I thought that was against the law in Italy. I mean, seriously… it was horrible.

When it was time to go on, our sample had started, and Raul says “Wait! The triggers are not on!” See, here’s yet another reason to despise triggers. We couldn’t wait. Luckily, Mike from Deeds of Flesh, one of the nicest most helpful guys ever, was there for me to yell at. He ran back, and apparently had forgotten he’d unplugged the triggers after soundcheck. The clock was ticking as the sample kept going. We were about to have one of those technical stumbling moments a band always dreads. Mike is frantically trying to get the plugs in, and as the first note is about to be hit, the light turns green, and POW!!! Impaled lucks out, yet again. The show goes over well.

Afterwards, Jason and I did an interview in the bus. There was one girl from the magazine, quite nice and pretty, and her friend, who just watched. Well, some people came on the bus and left. After the interview, I went back inside, and was asked by those people, “So, dude, you get lucky?” No, I was doing an interview. “Oh, I saw them bitches on the bus, I thought you were gonna get some.” Christ… as if there’s some girl on the bus I have to be trying to bang her. No, we just did an interview and then talked about Nip/Tuck. IT WAS NICE!! Plus, I’m ugly.

Sean would have partook in the interview, but he’d spent the afternoon constructing a glittery, gold star. You see, there’s been a running joke about Reno, the drummer, wanting things his way, and he’ll join in and say things like “Well, it is the Reno Show.” It’s fun to watch him and Colin lock horns constantly. Well, Sean made his gold star, put it on a stick, and held it up behind Reno during Vile’s set. The Reno Show, indeed!

At the end of the night, it was fun to look people dead in the eye as I grabbed equipment and watch them just walk the fuck away. AARRRGGGGHHH!!! But three more days, and I’ll never see most of these folks again. Mike from Vile brought that up with me. That’s a weird part about spending so much time together with a bunch of people. Some of these guys I really would like to see again, but you just don’t get to. You have to enjoy it while it lasts, and you can see the deadline on the camaraderie. I thought about that while drinking outside the bus with some really good people.

I was also pissing one of our party by talking to the girl he was “gettin'” with. I couldn’t help it, she came and talked to me, and she was an art student and fun to talk to. I wasn’t cockblocking at all, but damn, it was REALLY fun to watch him squirm. I took my leave, and left the drunkards alone to their own fate.

This morning I woke up to piss, and wanted to just go back to bed. But we are in Switzerland. I looked out the window and my jaw nearly dropped. I just sat and looked. I’ve seen some beautiful things before, but this was insane. Snow capped mountain, sheer cliffs with waterfalls draining down, lusciously green hills, chateaus settled in the mountainside… it’s mind boggling beautiful. I got to enjoy it alone for a time, and just soak it in. It literally took my breath away at one point, and I got a rush of melancholia and hopefulness all at the same time.

Then I saw the Lake of the Four Forests. And it got more beautiful. Our driver pulled over so we could look at it for a bit and breathe the air. I got out, barefoot, and curled my toes in green grass.

I’ve been waiting to see something like this.

How can I book a call?

Easy. Follow this link and pick a time that works best for you.

What’s the average cost of the project?

The final price is directly related to the project scope, timeline, and deliverables. As real project scope, can’t be determined without a formed strategy, the first stage of the project is a Project Strategy.
