HENRY TAYLOR How the figurative painter made portraiture the dominant mode of art in our era — and changed the way America sees itself. It was Henry Taylor doing Henry Taylor, like a pop star in his Vegas residency phase.

Elon Musk has demanded the EU provide a "list of violations" concerning disinformation on X. The international body told Musk to tackle the problem or face penalties. AdvertisementAdvertisementElon Musk has demanded to see a "list of violations" after the European Union told him to tackle disinformation about the Israel-Gaza conflict, which has been rapidly spreading on X. In a post on X, Musk replied to Breton's letter, saying: "Our policy is that everything is open source and transparent, an approach that I know the EU supports. The company's CEO, Linda Yaccarino, pulled out of two speaking arrangements, citing the developing conflict and a need to "remain fully focused on X platform safety."

The rampant spread is "a direct result of Musk's policies," a misinformation expert told Insider. "The fact that people with verified accounts can monetize their content means they have the wrong incentive," he said. "They're incentivized to spread content that's going to get engagement, clicks, and ultimately make them money. Even if you keep saying don't trust verified accounts, it's still difficult for people to navigate that landscape." Van der Linden said although misinformation was also present on Twitter before Musk's time, the platform used to have better resources to tackle it.

SPRING THINGS Among the top trends from the spring 2024 fashion shows was workwear-inspired fashion, like the outfits above. “IT’S NICE to feel calm sometimes,” said Luke Meier who, along with his wife, Lucie, designs Jil Sander. Their sterile Milan showspace had been made a sanctuary, with sunshine filtered through legions of white paper strips hung from the skylight. Guests in attendance seemed visibly soothed, as if waiting to ascend into heaven, or at least lounging in a five-star spa. This sense of ease pervaded spring’s best shows and clothes, which shirked recent seasons’ gimmicks, flash and frippery and instead brought women feel-good outfits for everyday.

☆ Exclusive: Suedzucker unit drops plan to lift French sugar output, citing Ukraine imports
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-11 | by ( Sybille De La Hamaide | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

European sugar prices have hit record highs, well above soaring global markets, due to a sugar deficit in the bloc, linked notably to falling output in France where farmers have been deterred by poor harvests in recent years. High sugar prices at a time when grain prices have fallen could make farmers favour beets in their rotations, sugar beet growers said. The French sugar beet crop area fell to a 14-year low this year. "We must be careful not to fall into the opposite extreme," Franck Sander, chairman of French sugar beet union CGB, told Reuters, warning that a rise in area could make EU prices slump. Saint Louis Sucre closed two factories in 2019 as part of a wider restructuring plan at Suedzucker, Europe’s largest sugar refiner.

The U.S. carmaker sells two all-electric SUVs and an e-Transit van in Europe, but seven new models are in the pipeline by 2024, including two produced in Cologne and one in Romania.

But rates on savings accounts and certificates of deposit could start to fall before long—so it might make sense to lock in today’s rates soon. That means that it could become a lot harder to find savings accounts and certificates of deposit paying the most attractive rates. “I think we’ve already broken past the peak,” says Sander Read, a financial advisor in Winter Park, Fla.Where are interest rates headed next? What do higher rates mean for savings accounts and CDs? The reason: Banks that need to raise more cash to make loans are more likely to dangle higher interest rates to get it.

July 25 (Reuters) - Randstad (RAND.AS), the world's biggest staffing firm, on Tuesday flagged weaker demand in a "challenging" jobs market, even as it beat expectations for second-quarter core earnings. "We've had an enormous surge in demand post-COVID ... from there we have sort of gradually seen demand pull back," he added. The company's shares recouped early losses to rise 3.5% by 1013 GMT, as its quarterly core profit beat market forecasts. Underlying earnings before interest, tax and amortisation (EBITA) fell 12% to 271 million euros ($299.8 million), but exceeded the 260 million seen in a company-provided poll. An employer survey from the World Economic Forum earlier this year found that employment could decrease 2% by 2027.

HAMBURG, June 30 (Reuters) - Ford (F.N) has found what it described as a major international investor for the U.S. carmaker's German plant in Saarlouis and has signed initial agreements together with the western state of Saarland, it said at a works meeting at the plant on Friday. "This is an excellent basis for further negotiations, with the potential to create around 2,500 jobs in Saarlouis," said Martin Sander, head of the company's German unit Ford Werke. "This week we have taken a big step towards this goal," he said, adding that the aim was still to transform the plant and create future employment opportunities. A Ford spokesperson did not name the investor but said only that it is a major international investor.

But learning the facts - that affirmative action is critical for fostering equal access and opportunity in our academic institutions -cemented my belief that affirmative action is necessary if we want to create an equitable nation. The court’s decision Thursday is consistent with its view that race-based preferences should and would have a limited shelf life. Jon Wang, who revealed himself as a plaintiff in this Supreme Court case, was rejected by Harvard but was accepted at and is now attending Georgia Tech. Affirmative action enabled my ability to experience different ways of thinking and to form the lasting friendships I have made. Affirmative action has been a tool used by many countries to ensure underrepresented communities are included in areas they normally are not.

☆ EU nature law on knife-edge after losing first vote
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-27 | by ( Kate Abnett | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

The bill to revive ailing environments - which aims to restore nature on 20% of EU land and sea - is facing a political backlash from the European People's Party group in the EU Parliament, which has called for its rejection. In a tight vote, 44 lawmakers voted for the law and 44 against, meaning it failed to win majority support. The bill now heads to a full EU Parliament vote on July 11, where failure to win majority support would kill off the proposal. Supporters from other parliament groups said they would try to club together to find a compromise deal ahead of the full parliament vote. Despite that, EU countries agreed a position on the nature bill last week - weakening some targets and asking for more EU money to support farmers in restoring nature, but backing its overall aims.

☆ This regional bank is a 'compelling value’ amid tough time for sector, Piper Sandler says
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-15 | by ( Hugh Son | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Recent updates from bank executives reinforce the idea that while deposits have stabilized, the industry faces pressure from rising funding costs, weaker lending and coming regulations, according to Piper Sandler analysts. The analysts named two picks for the current environment: "From here, our favorite large regional is Fifth Third Bank , and we find U.S. Bank a compelling value for patient investors," Siefers wrote. Regional bank stocks have r ebounded off the year's lows in recent weeks. The analyst said that customers' move away from non-interest bearing deposits and falling demand for loans have prompted several regional banks to lower their 2023 guidance for net interest income. Fifth Third Bank is "now among the most conservative on through-the-cycle [deposit] assumptions and preparedness for a sustained challenging environment," Siefers wrote.

☆ The Fed May Be Done Raising Rates. Here’s What It Means for CDs and Savings Accounts
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-03 | by ( ) www.wsj.com time to read: +5 min

So, if you don’t need immediate access to your savings, it may make sense to lock in current interest rates with a CD. And while the pace of price increases remains well above the Fed’s preferred level of 2%, the central bank fears that raising interest rates any more could tip the fragile economy into recession. The likely explanation is that banks expect interest rates to decrease and don’t want to be locked into paying higher rates for extended periods of time. It’s true that if CD rates are, say, 3% a couple of years from now, then a 4.5% yield will look very good. And because falling interest rates tend to drive up bond prices, that’s what they’d likely do.
