B the end of last year, anyone who had been paying even passing attention to the news headlines was highly likely to conclude that everything was terrible, and that the only attitude that made sense was one of profound pessimism – tempered, perhaps, by cynical humour, on the principle that if the world is going to…
LB and I have just wrapped up about a month of travelling to different states and presenting, which is something we haven’t done for probably 15 years. It was an interesting adventure and good to get out from behind the screen and talk to people. When I go anywhere I try and be a keen…
Since the 2008 financial crisis, colleges and universities have faced increased pressure to identify essential disciplines, and cut the rest. In 2009, Washington State University announced it would eliminate the department of theatre and dance, the department of community and rural sociology, and the German major – the same year that the University of Louisiana…

One of the N.F.L.’s smartest players did the math and decided to retire after just three years in the league. John Urschel, an offensive lineman…

Since I was playing around with YTD performance I thought I would isolate a handful of currency pairs and see how they did and as you can see from below they are a mixed bunch. Variations in performance are generally by themselves not that interesting, after all its a market and it depends upon variation…
As we sail past the half way point of the year I thought I look in the rear view mirror might be interesting to see how a few select markets have performed. There are no prizes for guessing that the local market has been shit.
I first wrote about Maryam Mirzakhani when see became the first women to win a Fields Medal in mathematics. Sadly a few weeks ago she lost her battle with cancer aged 40 – the world needs more special minds not fewer but disease of any kind owes no one any favours. For those interested in…
