Robert J. Nordhaus, lawyer, ski pioneer and lifelong New Mexico resident, died peacefully on Thursday, February 22, 2007 in Albuquerque at the age of 97. Robert Nordhaus was born in Las Vegas, New Mexico Territory, in 1909, and attended primary schools and high school in Albuquerque, where his family ran the historic Charles Ilfeld Company, one of the largest mercantile firms in New Mexico. He graduated from Yale College with a degree in Economics in 1931 and from Yale Law School in 1935. Soon after, he returned to Albuquerque, where he practiced law and helped run the family business. In 1935, he married Virginia Riggs, of Bronxville, NY, with whom he raised four children. They later divorced. His time in the East introduced him to the sport of skiing, and when he returned to New Mexico after law school, he became president of the Albuquerque Ski Club and developed what is presently Sandia Peak Ski Area, where the group first hiked and skied with primitive skis using toe straps and inner-tube bindings. He joined the army in 1941, helping to organize the newly-formed 10th Mountain Division in Camp Hale, CO, a cadre that was trained specifically for mountain combat. He served as Assistant Division Quartermaster during the troops' campaign in northern Italy during World War II. In 1955, he established the law firm of Nordhaus and Moses, and then in 1980 the firm of Nordhaus, Haltom & Taylor (now known as the Nordhaus Law Firm, LLP). He specialized in water and oil-and-gas law and represented over 40 Indian communities, litigating cases of national significance for the Jicarilla Apache Tribe, Laguna Pueblo and the Council of Energy Resource Tribes. He formed the Sandia Peak Ski and Tram Company in 1962. In 1964 the company completed construction of the Sandia Peak Tramway, one of Albuquerque's major tourist attractions. He was also instrumental in the development of Santa Fe Ski Basin. In 1994, Skiing Magazine named him one of 16 "Founders of Skiing USA." In 1998 he was admitted to New Mexico's Tourism Hall of Fame. He was honored as a New Mexico Living Treasure in 2002 and was inducted into the New Mexico Ski Hall of Fame in 2003. Robert Nordhaus was active in community life, and served with the Albuquerque Planning Commission, the Metropolitan Airport Development Committee, the Albuquerque Community Chest (now the United Way), the Albuquerque Economic Development Service. He was also on the Board of Trustees of the Albuquerque Academy, was one of the organizers of the Village of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque as well as the Tennis Club of Albuquerque. He was a long-standing member of the Rotary Club. "G-pop," as he is lovingly known by his family, was a treasure trove of New Mexico history and a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He is survived by his wife, Marjorie; sons, Robert Nordhaus and wife, Jean of Washington, D.C., Richard Nordhaus and wife, Mary of Albuquerque, William Nordhaus and wife, Barbara of New Haven, CT; daughter, Elizabeth Messeca and husband, Michel of Albuquerque; three step-children; nine grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren. A Memorial Service will be held for Robert J. Nordhaus at the Simms Center Auditorium at the Albuquerque Academy, 6400 Wyoming NE, Albuquerque at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 3, 2007. Reception to follow. For further information, call Daniels Family Funeral Services at 505-821-0010. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Robert J. Nordhaus Indian Law Scholarship Fund at Yale Law School or to the Indian Law Center at the University of New Mexico Law School.

Apple is in talks with multiple TV programmers — but not NBCUniversal — about launching an over-the-top TV service later this fall that would charge $30-$40 for about 25 channels including broadcast TV, according to a report Monday in the Wall Street Journal.
Details are scarce regarding the service in question, but it is reportedly able to stream linear channels live to a variety of Apple products including Apple TV, iPhone and iPad. Last week, Apple cut the price of Apple TV from $99 to $69 and got an exclusive window on HBO's new a la carte network extension, HBO Now.
WSJ reported that NBCU is not negotiating with Apple over the untitled new offering because of hard feelings left over from aborted talk the tech giant held last year with NBCU parent company Comcast. Unless Apple is able to get the largest cable operator in the U.S. back to the table, the planned service will be left without key networks including broadcaster NBC and cable channels like Bravo, E!, USA and Syfy.
Apple would be the latest entrant to a category of over-the-top channel packages informally known as "skinny bundles" because they offer far fewer networks than traditional pay-TV distributors in order to keep the price down. Dish's Sling TV was the first such service to come to market last month, and will be followed next month by Sony, which is launching a similar product, called PlayStation Vue. Verizon, DirecTV and AT&T are also expected to enter the fray later this year.
That said, don't get too excited about making a pre-order just yet. Apple and the TV programmers have a long history of negotiations to launch such a service that have gone nowhere beyond providing content for rental or purchase via iTunes.

1000 Degrees Pizza Launches Limited-Time Pizza and DIY Kit Featuring Popular CAULIPOWER Crust
Neapolitan-style pizza brand partners with CAULIPOWER to offer better-for-you crust options proven to drive incremental sales
1000 Degrees Pizza and CAULIPOWER have teamed up to make it easier for families to continue enjoying better-for-you food while staying at home, with the rollout of two new limited-time offerings.
1000 Degrees Pizza initially partnered with CAULIPOWER – the brand that's reinventing America's favorite foods, one healthy meal hack at a time – in November 2019 to provide guests with a more nutritional crust option. In the first four months, CAULIPOWER Cauliflower Crust sales delivered a 27% increase over 1000 Degrees' previous gluten-free crust option. Sales of the vegetable-forward cauliflower crust continued to hold steady once stay-at-home orders went into effect, validating 1000 Degrees' decision to maintain a full menu and build on the successful partnership.
1000 Degrees Pizza is now offering a limited-time pizza just in time for Earth Day and a DIY Pizza Kit for guests to enjoy at home, both featuring the popular CAULIPOWER crust:
- Green Team – CAULIPOWER Cauliflower Crust, pesto, mozzarella, feta, chopped garlic, broccoli, red onions and fresh basil.
- DIY Pizza Kit – Choice of 1000 Degrees signature dough or CAULIPOWER Cauliflower Crust, one sauce, one cheese and one topping.
"CAULIPOWER Cauliflower Crust has been a huge hit in our restaurants from the moment we rolled it out, and it continues to account for a large portion of our sales from our guests hunkered down at home," said Matthew Merrill, director of franchise operations for 1000 Degrees Pizza. "We wanted to build on that success by offering up some more innovative options featuring CAULIPOWER. While other brands are streamlining menus, our guests are staying active and engaging in healthier lifestyles at home, so we think this is the perfect time to launch our new Green Team pizza and DIY Pizza Kit!"
The Green Team and DIY Pizza Kit are available to order online through the website or app. 1000 Degrees Pizza is currently offering safe, contactless procedures for both carryout and delivery.
"As a mom who is currently playing a dual role of working parent and teacher, it feels really good to order something better-for-you to feed my family during these stressful times," said Julie Lim, executive vice president of foodservice and convenience for CAULIPOWER. "The success of our partnership with 1000 Degrees proves that pizza lovers will embrace healthier-for-you options as long as they don't have to sacrifice taste. Innovative partners like 1000 Degrees get it, and their guests are loving the results."

"I think I was getting stuck," says Maryam Qudus, who releases music under the moniker Doe Eye. We're talking about the period just before writing her second album, b-room, and how approaching the album was not straightforward. "I found it really difficult to start writing songs in a regular pop structure," she says. "I just wanted to get out of the box of making a standard, structured pop or indie rock song."
Her previous album, Television, was an ode to indie music. It was a record that explored the limits of the genre: from the beautifully sparse "Just Kids" to the fierce intensity of "Do It For You." Sometimes it was dark, at other times it had a dystopian sultriness to it. It was diverse and exciting album. Yet here she was, a few years later, trying to find a creative spark, or inspiration, for her next record.
While working on the follow-up to Television, Qudus found herself drawn to ambient music; a genre she fell in love while watching movies and listening intently to their scores. "I started to experiment with ambient music because I've always loved listening to
She dove in, and in the spring of 2017, she released an entire album of ambient music. b-room is a sonic cacophony of shapes and sounds which paint pictures as emotive and vivid as a watercolor hung high in the deYoung. It is music that sucks you in without realizing; each time I listen through I hear new sounds, and new layers. The smallest changes, such as switching headphones, or the different listening environments can alter the way it sounds. It is a gentle record that matures and reveals new perspectives with each listen.
"The thing that I love about creating ambient music is that it feels very instinct-based, and very emotion-based," she explains. "As I was making the songs…and something sounded cool, the next part of the song just was happening based on instinct," says Qudus. The process felt like improvisation. It was freeing. "On a standard pop song, you know that this is my verse, and now the chorus comes…it was nice just to do something that wasn't so structured like that," she says.
"The songs started to bloom on their own as I was making them," says Qudus. "[Ambient music] is very patient — you can take your time, and the song can be as long as you want it to be, or as long as you feel like it needs to be," says Qudus.
I mention Ludovico Einaudi and a performance of his at London's Cadogan Hall. Before sitting down at the piano, he explained that every performance he does is unique because he lets the music come to him. Qudus immediately sees the similarity between that approach and ambient music, where for many performers do not play from their record. "They'll bring up their synthesizer, and their modular synth, and their sample pad, and they'll just create stuff live. Maybe they rehearsed it a couple of times. Maybe they've thought about what they're gonna do, but, for the most part, it's all new, and then it's kinda gone," she says wistfully.
When not making her own music, Qudus is helping others make music as a recording engineer at San Francisco's Tiny Telephone studios. "I got into recording and engineering because I was working on my record and after I was done, I was sad that I wasn't still there at the recording studio making more music," she says. "As an artist, you make a record, and then the recording process is finished, and you never go into a recording studio again until you make the next record," she explains. Qudus enjoyed being in the studio and exploring its limits, so she started to teach herself.
"A recording studio to me is used as an instrument. I think from there; I realized that I want to be here more. I want to help other bands make their music as well. So I started to learn more," she says.
Earlier in our conversation, we speak very briefly about her time a Berklee College of Music. The revered institution which includes Quincy Jones, Esperanza Spalding, Aimee Mann, and St. Vincent among its alumni. However, after just one year, Qudus left. "I think Berklee taught me a lot about musicianship and how to be a leader," she says. "[It] definitely taught me a lot about how to be creative as well. But… I think the most important thing about being a musician… is just going and doing [it]," she says.
"A big thing I learned is you have to just go for it and do it…Maybe you're recording a friend's band, and you're learning your way through it. Then, eventually, you're like, 'Whoa, I'm getting better at this. Things are sounding cool,'" she says. "The way it's influenced my music is huge because I understand so much more about the recording process than I did before. I have so many more things that I know that I can do."
"When I started with my own music, I wasn't always engineering and/or producing it. Somebody else was," says Qudus. "I was working with people that I trust, but when you don't have the language, or the understanding, it's hard to communicate what you want."
Gaining more knowledge, and a better grasp of the associated lexicon has helped to free her creatively. "Now that I do understand that, I feel that I can pretty much make whatever I feel like I want to."
"One of the favorite things that I learned how to do…is throwing random noise in your music," she shares gleefully. "Throwing it in their randomly and seeing how it works — a lot of the times it's magical!"
"It doesn't always go how I imagine it in my head," she jokes, "But, for the most part, I feel like I can come close to what I would like to try to make," says Qudus.
Having made an indie album and an ambient album, and having experience as a recording engineer, I ask Qudus where she thinks she'll go next on her musical journey. "I think my next record [will have] a lot of influences: electronic music, some influences of punk music, but still dreamy at the same time," she shares. A dreamy-electronic-punk album sounds like an adventurous concept. One wholly suited to a self-starting go-getter like Qudus.

STARS: 3.75 out of 5
This campground is very conveniently located to Yellowstone National Park via the west entrance. It's only about a 5 minute drive to the town of West Yellowstone.
We had an extremely easy pull-through (#56). 53 (which is next to 56) is significantly harder to navigate because it is a sharper bend with trees and boulders around the perimeter. 63 and 64 (I think those are the right numbers) are both very easy pull-throughs that have lake views. They were both occupied when we got there which is why we opted for 56. We explored the entire campground and the lower numbered sites (1-15 or so) are in a lovely part of the campground with lots of trees and more privacy. The sites are back-ins, though, and range from very tight to spacious. Space 1 is a quite large back in with little obstructions to worry about and it has access to the river. There is also a trail in this part of the campground that leads all the way to the town of West Yellowstone. It's about 3 miles long. Beware of bears, though, if it is bear season as they frequent this campground and all of this general area.
The drop toilets were extremely clean and were spaced nicely throughout the campground.
The potable water was via a hosebib with attached hose near the entrance to the campground. It was very easy to access and the attached hose was a nice amenity.
The town of West Yellowstone has two markets, which I only went into one of them. The market I went into had reasonable prices on pretty much everything I bought, which surprised me as I thought they'd jack up the prices due to tourism.
The photos on the left are from the official Baker's Hole website as I neglected to take some while we were there!
NOTE: Verizon was so-so; AT&T was worse, as was T-Mobile.

Here's a homeopathic drop of distilled pure form for RealTime. Melbourne 30-something Michael Farrell is an emerging poet in a potentially submerging artform. His recent book ode ode has a cover photo of 2 plastic forks on a red carpet. Considering poetry books usually have landscape images which reek of the production values and aesthetics of amateur bushwalking guides it's an overwhelming relief to see—Farrell is a cheap stylist de rigeur. His signature style is the assemblage—there's virtually no vestiges of the romantic author, what American critic Marjorie Perloff calls "the tedious and unreflective claim for the unique insight and individual vision that has characterised so large a portion of mainstream poetry." While the lyrical 'I' isn't mobilised by Farrell, you get the sense that he is peculiarly enmeshed by a life he then hives off to form pop poems—"the stuff of late 90s legends." This energises his work perhaps more than many others of his ilk anthologised in the Calyx anthology (Paperbark Press, 1999), who tend to be more concerned with the changing ecologies and language theory of the post-romantic landscape. However, Farrell is also in dialogue with the artistic tradition he inherits, with poems referring to visual artists (Vermeer to Jeff Koons), dance (tango to "my knees arent much but in/ mes the spirit of the young travolta"), music ("compare the songs you heard this morning with madrigals &/ fitting the words underground overground/ wombling free to the tune & you compose/ a poem") and film ("this is cinema made by people/ shuffling in gumboots") as well as inserting fragments of literary and other texts within his poems to form cut-ups. There's a sense of place, of European tradition as well as the local ("my white arms reach for brisbane") and even that great poetic motif, birds, get a mention in chirp ("fuck off lay eggs come back to my window/ ill give you ash to peck at").
Farrell's modus-poeme is "its better to edit than portray", and his work is nodal, unpunctuated, even words are often broken at the end of lines, creating interesting disjunction. Just shy of frustrating poetic obfuscation, he "speaks in little phrases like a bee thats afraid of conversation." I think finally Farrell is Frank O'Hara's Australian heir apparent, where so many others have tried it's Farrell who's perfected the requisite combination of laconic camp. Michael Farrell is the Australian editor of Slope magazine (www.slope.org). All quotes from Michael Farrell, ode ode, Salt Publishing 2002.

It's official now. For the coming US election, the Republican Party will bet the house on blaming everything on China. The 57-page "Corona Big Book" prepared by O'Donnell and Associates, the party's strategist, outlined all the ways to lay blame on China, to accuse the Democrats of being soft on China, and to vow to make China pay for the Covid-19 pandemic.
This Republican strategy leaves no room for Joe Biden and the Democrats to out-Trump President Donald Trump. The "Book" also recommends not bothering to defend Trump himself. In other words, all offense and no defense. Presumably, the strategists are clear-eyed and can see that Trump is not defensible.
The PBS NewsHour reported that at the daily coronavirus briefing Trump has spoken, on average, four times as long as his two scientific advisers, Drs Deborah Birx and Anthony Fauci, combined. His White House staff, not wishing to see daily displays riddled with gaffes, wanted to cancel these briefings, but Trump refused because he doesn't want to miss any opportunity for exposure on national TV.
Bleach as home remedy
Needless to say, his off-the-cuff utterances can become rich material for the Biden camp to build into campaign spots. Why not, for example, interview some New Yorker who drank bleach as a cure for Covid-19 and ask that person what he or she thought of Trump prescribing without a license?
A key part of the Republican strategy is to accuse China of months of coverup and hiding the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus from the world. Many, including me, have not been able to find any possible gaps in the timeline communicated from China that could span anywhere close to a month.
A more recent analysis was posted last week by Vijay Prashad. He carefully examined the events inside China and the Chinese interaction with the World Health Organization from December 31 to the end of January. He could not find any supporting evidence for even the one Western news outlet that claimed China withheld information on the outbreak for six days, from January 14 to 20.
From January 24 to February 20, Chinese researchers published 15 scientific articles in the New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet and the Journal of the American Medical Association, each paper reporting on the ongoing progress on their investigations of the novel coronavirus. Publishing at such a rate in peer-reviewed scientific journals was phenomenal and hardly consistent with any conspiracy to withhold data and information from the world.
Trump, abetted by Dr Deborah Birx, also pointed to the orders-of-magnitude-lower death rate in China compared with many Western countries as a clear indication that China has been lying. Not so fast, said John Walsh in Asia Times. China's death rate was consistent with neighboring countries in Asia and Australia.
The real difference was that Western countries ignored the lessons learned in China while its neighbors in Asia did not. Lockdowns and social distance were absolutely necessary to "flatten the curve" and bring the contagion to heel.
If Biden's advisers decide to mine the alluvial nuggets that Trump has carelessly strewn about and treat them as issues to draw attention to his ineptitude and disqualifiers as president, they can start with the Covid-19 timeline in the US. There are many versions, and this is just one. This timeline compilation identifies the days Trump played golf, the days spent on the road campaigning, and a list of all the inconsistent and contradictory statements he made to the press.
Intriguingly enough, the timeline says Trump was first warned about the virus on January 8, which he ignored.
Timeline exposes Trump's malfeasance
It turned out that the head of China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention had contacted his US counterpart in Atlanta on January 3 to inform Dr Robert Redfield of the appearance of an as yet unidentified pneumonia-inducing virus. It took a few days for this news to filter its way through Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar to Trump. According to insiders, Trump either did not regard Azar highly or the department particularly important, or both, and did not take the report seriously.
If a coverup took place, it was due to Trump's negligence and not taking his responsibility seriously. Looking at the timetable, the Biden camp can see that Trump frittered away more than six weeks. That was a precious period that the Trump White House should have been using to mobilize the nation and prepare to deal with the invasion of Covid-19.
Laying the blame on China is to distract and take attention away from the malfeasance of the Trump administration. Unlike Trump's core team, everybody else in the world understands that the blame game accomplishes nothing, and worldwide collaboration is required to bring the pandemic under control.
There is another reason to take a different approach to using Covid-19 as a campaign issue. By calling the novel coronavirus the "Chinese virus," the Trump administration has made Asians living in the US targets of racial epithets and physical attacks. There are around 20 million Asian-Americans in the country. Biden can win their support by just referring to the disease as Covid-19, the official WHO-designated name. Of course, proactively defending Asian-American civil rights would also be the right thing to do.
The other part of the Republican strategy is to accuse Biden and the Democratic Party of being soft on China. What should Biden do? To deny being soft on China or to show that he is tougher on China than Trump would be a losing proposition. Every denial would prompt another challenge until the defense runs out of responses.
Instead, the Biden camp should turn the issue on its head and examine what Trump being "hard" on China has done for the American people.
Trump's damage
The most obvious is the tariff war initiated by Trump. Biden's team of economists should study the amount of "free" money collected from the tariff for the US (a point of pride for Trump) versus how much businesses and farmers lost in export sales. Also, how much prices went up because of the duty on imports from China and therefore the rise in cost of living for the American people.
Trump equates free trade with an equal bi-directional volume of trade and considers a trade deficit to be a personal affront. When he launched the trade war, he thought he would reduce the trade imbalance. The last time I looked, in August last year, the US trade deficit with China had actually increased and not narrowed.
Candidate Biden also needs to think about the difficult tasks after the election if he wins. If the pandemic is still around, he will have to work with China to fight the contagion. If the infections are already under control, he will need to come up with a mutually beneficial economic expansion plan to help the US recover.
He will face a tough challenge. The animosity toward China has been stoked to hysterical levels by partisans on the left and the right. The tension was heightened by the novel coronavirus. Biden will need the courage and wisdom to articulate a vision where China and the US don't have to be friends but can openly trade and do business together. The more activity the two countries do together, the more they will stimulate each other's economies and hasten recovery.
The International Monetary Fund is calling the pandemic "the great lockdown" and a crisis like no other in history. Its best-guess projection for global economic growth in 2020 is an unprecedented negative-3%. The US economy is projected to shrink by -5.9%. The only economies expected to end the year on the plus side are China at 1.2% and India at 1.9%.
A lot of uncertainties and unknowns lie ahead. The actual economic projections could be way off but the relative difference IMF assigns for China and the US is saying that should the two countries continue to exchange body blows, China will emerge better off than the US even if both end up losers.
Such a dire IMF forecast should fortify Biden as he dismisses the right wing pushing to decouple totally from China. No one has spelled out the insanity of decoupling more lucidly than Peter Beinart in The Atlantic. The Biden brain trust would do well to study this essay carefully and map out a plan for future growth, and avoid the destructive path Trump has followed.
Dr George Koo recently retired from a global advisory services firm where he advised clients on their China strategies and business operations. Educated at MIT, Stevens Institute and Santa Clara University, he is the founder and former managing director of International Strategic Alliances. He is currently a board member of Freschfield's, a novel green building platform.

The stock market is a giant ponzi scheme artificially manipulated by supercomputers. -> Brian
Our readers should have little doubt at this point about our view on the integrity of wall street and equity markets. In fact, we just spoke yesterday about all the little accounting games that companies play to "beat" earnings estimates in a post entitled "Mind The "GAAP" (Or How The Game Is Really 'Rigged')."
Well, CFOs can't bear the full burden of earnings management, they need complicit "independent" counterparts on wall street as well. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal points out how public companies use wall street analysts to manage quarterly earnings expectations and ultimately their stock prices. The article summarizes the quarterly dance played out between wall street analysts and investor relations teams to "manage" earnings down to a level that is ultimately "beatable" and thus produces a nice stock bounce on earnings day. Analysts, of course, are willing partners in the game because being a "team player" means better access to management teams, better attendance at bank-hosted conferences and the added benefit of very "accurate" forecasting for hedge fund clients that pay handsomely for their efforts. As the WSJ points out:

Egon Schiele "In Search Of The Perfect Line"
Galerie St. Etienne
This event has ended.
Galerie St. Etienne has presented more than 15 Egon Schiele exhibitions since 1941, when the gallery introduced the work of the artist to the U.S. The exhibition leverages the gallery's access to rare and newly authenticated work with 46 watercolors and drawings curated from numerous private collections, many of which have not been exhibited publically in more than 20 years.
Egon Schiele: In Search of the Perfect Line marks the 100th anniversary of Schiele's death in 1918 and links together Schiele's drawings to tell the story of the artist's brief life, which ended when he died of the Spanish flu at age 28. One of the greatest draughtsmen of all times, Schiele drew almost daily, using the medium to record his fluctuating responses to the basic problems of human existence: sexual desire, personal identity, and the tenuousness of life. His works—and the works in the exhibition—thus function as a visual diary, tracing the artist's emotional and creative development from adolescence to adulthood.
The exhibition coincides with the November publication of Egon Schiele: The Complete Works Online, the first digital catalogue raisonné for the artist from Kallir Research Institute, a non-profit organization founded by Jane Kallir, co-director of Galerie St. Etienne. Much of what is known today about the artist is due to research by Jane Kallir, who authored the catalogue raisonné, and her grandfather Otto Kallir, the gallery's founder. Jane Kallir, who has written nine books on Egon Schiele and contributed to numerous international exhibition catalogues, is recognized as the leading scholar on the artist.
The exhibition begins with a 1906 self-portrait done the year Schiele gained admittance to the prestigious Vienna Academy of Fine Art, showing the 16-year-old proudly wearing the traditional garb of an artist. By 1910, Schiele had dropped out of the Academy, frustrated with its conservative rules. During this breakthrough year, he made his first tentative explorations of female sexuality. At the start of the year, his most reliable female model was his sister Gerti, a totally unthreatening subject who would go on to model professionally. She can be seen in his Portrait of a Woman in an Orange Hat, 1910.
In early 20th-century Austria, young men were encouraged to "sow their wild oats" with prostitutes before settling down at around the age of 25. However, when Schiele left the urban environment of Vienna for the rural town of Neulengbach, his open cohabitation with his model, Wally Neuzil, raised eyebrows. In April 1912, a teenage runaway asked the couple to take her to her grandmother in Vienna. Although they brought the girl back a day later, her father had already filed charges of kidnapping and statutory rape. The charges were dropped once an investigation was conducted. But a new charge stuck: the artist was sentenced to 24 days in jail for "pubic immorality," because minors had visited his studio and been exposed to erotic works of art. Included in the exhibition is a 1912 self-portrait, painted shortly after Schiele was released from prison that reflects his traumatized emotional state.
True to contemporary custom, Schiele married at the age of 25, choosing not Wally but a proper bourgeois young lady, Edith Harms. Whereas Wally had been a full partner in Schiele's artistic mission, Edith found it hard to adjust to her husband's bohemian ways. Less out of prudery than embarrassment, she was reluctant to pose naked. She feared, understandably, being recognized by the couple's family, friends, and acquaintances. A 1915 portrait, Woman Holding Flower (Edith Schiele), evokes the subject's wistful sadness.
Given his wife's reluctance to pose, most of Schiele's later nudes depict professional models. In 1917-18, the artist reverted to an almost classical realism. In tandem with a more three-dimensional coloring style, his lines became smoother and rounder. This increased naturalism served to accentuate the subjects' autonomy. Schiele's nudes and semi-nudes are considered among the first modern women in art; the first to command their own sexuality.
In an essay written for the exhibition, Jane Kallir writes, "Schiele's premature death leaves hanging the tantalizing question: what would have happened next? His oeuvre, comprising roughly 3,000 works on paper and over 300 paintings, may be interpreted as a visual coming-of-age story. Like many adolescents, the artist sought answers to the most basic mysteries of human existence: what does it mean to live, to love, to suffer and to die? Whether or not he ever found the answers, it is the process of asking, the search itself, that gives meaning and poignancy to his art."
About Egon Schiele: The Complete Works Online
The first phase of Egon Schiele: The Complete Works Online, the first digital catalogue raisonné of the artist's work, was published in November 2018 at www.egonschieleonline.org. Notable for its unprecedented scope, the publication covers the artist's oeuvre in its entirety: over 400 paintings; close to 3,000 watercolors and drawings; 21 sketchbooks; 17 graphics; and 4 sculptures. Egon Schiele Online, which will be published in in two phases, will eventually include more than 200 works authenticated since the publication of Jane Kallir's previous Schiele catalogue raisonné in 1998. This is the first publication from the Kallir Research Institute, a non-profit organization founded last year by Jane Kallir, co-director of the Galerie St. Etienne.
About Jane Kallir
Jane Kallir is the author of the new catalogue raisonné Egon Schiele: The Complete Works Online as well as Egon Schiele: The Complete Works (1990; revised edition, 1998). Her grandfather Otto Kallir authored the first catalogue raisonné of Egon Schiele's oil paintings in 1930. Jane Kallir has written nine books and more than 20 articles on Schiele. Most recently, she wrote catalogue essays and provided lectures for three major exhibitions: Egon Schiele at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris (October 3, 2018, through January 14, 2019); Egon Schiele: Pathways to a Collection at the Lower Belvedere, Vienna (October 19, 2018, through February 17, 2019); and Klimt/Schiele: Drawings from the Albertina Museum, Vienna at the Royal Academy of Arts, London (November 4, 2018, through February 3, 2019). Two new documentaries about Egon Schiele have recently been released that feature interviews with Jane Kallir: Egon Schiele: Dangerous Desires from the BBC and Klimt & Schiele: Eros and Psyche from 3D Produzioni.

Football fans were shocked after Leeds United and Marcelo Bielsa picked up the FIFA Fair Play award at 'The Best' cermony in Milan.
The club were fined £200,000 by the EFL and received a formal reprimand last season for breaching "good faith" after a club employee was found to be attempting to spy on Frank Lampard's Derby County's training session on behalf of manager Bielsa.
Police were called and Bielsa eventually took full responsibility for the incident, and revealed that he had employed similar tactics on every club throughout the season, with the fallout from the incident proving bitter.
However, Leeds were given the award on the basis of another contentious moment from last season.
During the Championship clash against Aston Villa in April, Leeds went ahead through Mateusz Klich while Villa striker Jonathan Koodjia was down injured.
Leeds had looked like they would stop playing, but carried on and put the ball in the net, prompting fury from Villa's players and the touchline.
Bielsa then ordered his team to allow Villa to score an uncontested equaliser, helping to quell some of the bad blood between the sides.
FIFA have decided that this action showed a dedication to fair play, though some fans were unconvinced that a team with two such controversial moments in six months should be rewarded - while many Leeds fans were quick to mock Lampard and others.

"I never make predictions," baseball great and all-around sage Yogi Berra once said, "especially about the future."
But Nouriel Roubini is not so shy. The economist, who famously predicted the real estate bubble's popping and the financial crisis that devastated the banking system, sees another recession on the way. And, he believes, it will hit next year.
"It's a scary time for the global economy," said Roubini, in a Bloomberg TV appearance. The head of his own consultancy, Roubini Macro Associates, and a New York University professor, he has earned the sobriquet "Dr. Doom."
In his view, a nasty combo of a continued US-China trade war and spiraling oil prices will push the economy over the brink. High debt levels will make matters worse, he indicated. And beyond all that, he said, the Federal Reserve has fewer recession-combating weapons, since it can't lower already-low interest rates much more to make a difference.
Right now, Washington and Beijing are headed back to the bargaining table, after a friendly tête-à-tête between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the G-20 meeting in Japan last weekend. But Roubini isn't buying their comity.
To him, the bilateral talks are slated to collapse, and then a new Cold War will commence, with nations forced to choose sides between the world's two superpowers. Harking back to how the World War II alliance between the Americans and the Russians dissolved, he said, "This divorce is going to get ugly, compared to the divorce between the US and the Soviet Union."
Then there's oil, which helped bring the 1970s stagflation, a sour situation that he expects to make a return. The standoff between the US and Iran could well lead to an oil-price surge that will blast economic growth to pieces, he warned.
Certainly, the predictions of economic savants hardly always come true. Roubini's peers a decade ago thought the sub-prime mortgage problem could be contained. Today, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been a fount of optimism about the world economy, only to see it slow.

Over the weekend, I took the lovely Mrs. Cornell to Ricky Gervais' latest, The Invention of Lying. I have yet to see Mr. Gervais in anything that was less than entertaining, although this came the closest. It's a very clever conceit – Gervais plays a guy who learns how to lie in a world where dishonesty is impossible – but it goes in fairly unpredictable directions. I suppose that's good, overall, since most movies are far too predictable, but the general basis of the film is that all religion is based on a hokey story about a man in the sky who controls everything you do. Gervais' character makes up this lie to comfort his dying mother, but when everyone else overhears him talking about it, he more or less fashions a pop version of the Ten Commandments and writes them on the back of pizza boxes to dupe the gullible masses, who are too stupid to realize that all religion is a transparent lie.
I find that point of view confusing more than anything else.
I have long acknowledged the fact that I will never know what it is like not to be a Latter-day Saint. That is, even if I ended up leaving the church, I would always be a disaffected Latter-day Saint or a former Latter-day Saint. But everything will always be filtered through some fundamental assumptions that have been with me for as long as I've had memory.
So with that caveat, I can still say that I lack the faith necessary to be an atheist.
It requires a tremendous amount of confidence in the wisdom of the learned to look at the universe and assume it's all a bizarre accident. Even the most ardent Darwinists have to acknowledge that the theory of natural selection doesn't even come to close to explaining how and why life exists, or how it arrived in such perfect ecological balance, or why, for instance, human beings,unlike any other animals, often feel a tension between what they want and what they know is right. (C.S. Lewis cited that as the greatest proof of God's existence.)
Now I recognize that this doesn't necessarily prove or even suggest any given theology. One can acknowledge purpose and order and still have no faith in anyone in ancient Palestine dying for their sins. But to flagrantly deny the existential evidence of divinity in the universe strikes me as an act of monumental hubris, as well as an act of supreme faith in an incomplete science and/or in their own personal genius. It also leads to barbarism if left unchecked. (See Stalin/Hitler/Mao.)
Which leads me to POUNDS' pertient comments on my last post.
As an agnostic, who whole-heartedly supports your decision to embrace the LDS church and its doctrines, I would appreciate your response to the following:
If you accept an all-knowing and infallible God, isn't it possible that He has designed things so that different people will adopt different views and perceptions of Him? Or even that He prefers it that way?
That was the idea behind the finale of the Battlestar Galactica remake, where we discovered that everything was orchestrated by a God who "didn't like to be called that." This idea has many champions, many of whom speak of all of us "climbing up different sides of the mountain." That is, each of us is reaching for the same thing, and all of us will get their in the end. Or, to quote Bernie Taupin: "We all make the same mistakes/We're gonna wind up with the Man."
Here's my problem with it.
In no other form of human experience does sincerity create truth. That is, one can truly, sincerely believe any number of weird medical fads, but if those beliefs are not in line with how the human body actually works, then they're useless. Or dangerous. All the doctors who bled out their patients up until the 20th Century had a different view and perception of how the human body worked, one which I assume was quite sincere. And still it was wrong.
Truth exists independent of humanity's interpretation of it.
So whoever/whatever/whenever God is, He/She/It is. The fact that people are confused on the details doesn't mean that each interpretation is equally valid, although I would submit that it isn't a black and white proposition. Some religions have bigger chunks of the truth than others, and if I found a church with more truth than the one I have now, I'd join it. I think the confusion is a product of human fallibility, not divine design.
As to whether God prefers it that way, I think that's a more interesting question. Certainly He hasn'ty taken the steps He could to settle the issue once and for all, but I think that goes to the heart of the purpose of mortal existence. Latter-day Saints posit that we lived with God before life on this earth, and we were sent here to demonstrate our ability to walk by faith, without God providing all the answers. I think He wants us to find the truth, and the multiplicity of religions demonstrate varying degrees of success in that quest.
Why would an omniscient and omnipresent deity, who is the "Creator of all
things" (Latin: ex nihilo) create or allow alternative faiths or the sense of
doubt held by those who are uncertain about the true nature of existence itself?
We're entering very deep theological waters here, but I need to respond by saying that Mormons reject the idea of ex nihilo, or "out of nothing" creation.
Joseph Smith was all for the Law of Conservation of Mass before it was cool. He wrote, "Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the Light of Truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be." (Doctrine and Covenants 93:29. In verse 33, he also says, "The elements are eternal.")
So from our perspective, God's creation involves the organizing of eternally existening elements to bring order out of chaos, not pulling something from nothing. This also means that a piece of us, independent of our bodies, has always existed and was not created out of nothing. That is the only part of us that we can truly offer to God, since everything else is His handiwork. As independent agents who are co-eternal; with God, our doubts, our weaknesses, and our misunderstandings are our own responsibilities.
Is it not possible that an all-powerful and all-knowing God WANTED diversity of
views (and faiths) that meet the needs of different people in different ways?
Yes, it is possible. But it seems unlikely to me that God would want people to believe things that are diametrically opposed to each other. The truth can be viewed from many different perspectives, certainly, but I doubt God would want us to say that black and white are the same thing.
It would seem that is just as reasonable and satisfying an explanation as the
specific beliefs on any particular religion are to its adherents.
It's certainly a more reasonable view than atheism.
And, of course, that is why I am an agnostic who marvels at all the different
("absolutist")views which are sincerely held by so many people….. including so
many that I greatly respect.
You're a good man, sir.
Bottom line: Wait for The Invention of Lying on Video. It's kind of unwieldy, but it's also got a pretty funny Pepsi joke in it.

There are so many products I wanted to add to my Summer Beauty Must Haves posts, so much so I am going to split them all up into a series over the next few weeks. I'm starting with a little mixture of SPFs and skincare that I have been using this past month. Firstly, we know the risks of being in the sun without the protection of good sun screen. I know this all to well having been sun burned on hard to reach places, or sun target areas like the back of my neck and shoulders. Clinique's new sun screen products are very very good. The Virtu-Oil Body Mist has an SPF 30 with UVA & UVB and has light texture so it doesn't feel greasy or oily on your skin. I also like how it dries so quickly, so you can apply and get dressed right away. Alongside that is Anti-wrinkle Face Cream also with SPF 30. I like having a separate product for my face; for some reason I feel a cream formula works better. I'm no expert on this, but my face likes it more and I am less likely to get any effects from the sun. This product is small in it's packaging so it's a good handbag item.
I also have some problems with extremely dry skin on the tops of my arms and the back of my neck along my hair line where I occasionally have some psoriasis. For the last few months I have been working with SuuBalm as an ambassador; a product designed to ease the itchiness that accompanies the condition. In the summer, my next perspires and this doesn't help my skin at all so I find it incredibly itchy all the time. Suu Balm has menthol in it to help cool that down and it really does work. I also apply it to very light sun burn for some relief.
I will have lot's more on tan brands, but for now I want to give my backing to Primark's Pearl Face & Body Highlighter that is a really lovely product that doesn't cost as much as some other highlighting creams. The colour is light so it's good if you want t a glow, or apply liberally over an existing tan for the J-Lo effect. As someone who just does not tan naturally, this is a great option.
I'm also adding in some links below to similar products that I've tried and loved too!

10 ways to keep Fourth of July healthy and safe
The three-day weekend is designed to encourage excess, but let's keep a few suggestions in mind.
It seems like this year is going by in a flash! It's already the middle of summer, and July Fourth is just around the corner. Independence Day in Nashville means backyard cookouts, floating down the Harpeth and heading downtown to see the fireworks over the Cumberland. The three-day weekend is designed to encourage excess, but let's not lose ourselves completely and keep in mind a few suggestions to keep ourselves safe and healthy this holiday weekend.
1. Put lean meat on the grill.
Hot dogs and hamburgers are always cookout staples, but try making them a little bit healthier by using lean meat. Try using ground beef with less fat or substituting the beef with ground turkey or a veggie burger. If hot dogs are your preference, look for all-beef hot dogs or ones made with organic beef. The brand Applegate seems to have some good ones.
2. Use whole-wheat buns.
While you're at it, make the rest of the burger or dog healthier by using a whole-wheat bun instead of white bread. The Mayo Clinic suggests that this little diet tweak can lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes and a whole host of other chronic illnesses. They are also a great source of fiber and vitamin B.
3. Take steps to avoid food poisoning.
While you're prepping your raw meat, be careful not to cross-contaminate utensils, plates or hands with foods that you'll likely eat raw, like your burger toppings and salad ingredients. To kill bacteria like E. coli, the FDA recommends cooking burgers to an internal temperature of at least 150 degrees. Once you've finished cooking all your food items, make sure to keep them at their appropriate temperatures. Salad and cold side dishes should be kept cool. The seemingly innocuous potato salad is commonly a source of food poisoning when left out in the heat too long.
4. Fill your plate with veggies first.
When you're filling your plate at the family cookout, I'd suggest making a beeline for the veggies first. By filling your plate with fruits and veggies first, you'll be less likely to load up on the less healthy items, like chips and burgers. If you eat the veggies first, too, that will make you more full and less likely to go back for seconds.
5. Don't skip meals.
You might be inclined to skip meals before the weekend to "save calories" for the holiday festivities, but that isn't a good idea. Starving yourself before a big meal can lead to overeating, especially high-fat and high-salt foods. It can take up to 20 minutes for your brain to realize you're full, so if you're ravenously eating your meal, you can inadvertently sneak in more calories before your brain tells you to stop.
6. Chase your drinks with water or go for blended drinks.
No Fourth of July celebration would be complete without some beers or other alcoholic drinks, but with the scorching temperatures, drinking too much alcohol could contribute to further dehydration. Consider having a glass of water after every drink, or opt for blended drinks, like daiquiris or margaritas, that have some water already mixed in.
7. Get some exercise.
You can work off all that food by getting outside to get some holiday-appropriate exercise. Canoeing or kayaking down the Harpeth is a good way to cool off and get a good arm workout in. Playing Frisbee or throwing around a football at the cookout is also an easy way to burn off some calories without noticing.
8. Apply lots of sunscreen.
No matter what kind of exercise you decide to get this weekend, or if lounging poolside is more your speed, you're going to need to apply lots of sunscreen. Remember that you need to apply at least 2 tablespoons of sunscreen all over your body at least 30 minutes before you go outside. Reapply every two hours, or as soon as you get out of the water.
9. Bring bug repellent to the river.
We aren't out of the woods yet with mosquito-borne illnesses such as Zika and West Nile, so don't forget to bring some insect repellent with you! Or be adventurous and make your own, like fellow 12th & Broad columnist Jenna Wolf suggests. Lots of mosquito species are more active at night, so be especially mindful when you head out to watch the fireworks.
10. Those with asthma or COPD should avoid going downtown for the fireworks.
The pièce de résistance of any Fourth of July celebration is the amazing fireworks display, and downtown Nashville is no exception. However, it might not be a good idea for everyone to go downtown to see the fireworks. Those with asthma, COPD or other pre-existing respiratory conditions should watch from home or a safe distance away, since fireworks can exacerbate those problems.
Keep in mind these 10 health tips, and I hope everyone has a safe and healthy holiday!

My installation of Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Architect doesn't run through… I tried it twice and there's a point where the current action is shown as "Removing registry entries" or something very similar to that, and that's where suddenly some msiexec process starts gobbling up a lot of CPU and never terminates. Killing that process makes the setup process fail, but I don't get any detailed information about the real issue, probably because the problem isn't recognized by the MSI system. I'll go with 2005 for the time being, but I hope I'll find out later why this happens.
Sorry, this blog does not support comments. Why not?
I used various blog hosting services since this blog was established in 2005, but unfortunately they turned out to be unreliable in the long term and comment threads were lost in unavoidable transitions. At this time I don't want to enable third-party services for comments since it has become obvious in recent years that these providers invariably monetize information about their visitors and users.

- The Anti-waste nylon grid eliminates scatter and waste of feed.
- No feed waste and no opportunistic pests mean big savings over time with your feed budget.
- Unlike other treadle feeders available today the Alma is all-metal construction for a sturdier and long-lasting construction
- 2 birds can feed at one time
- The perforated Treadle or platform on to which the bird steps to feed is also of a strong metal construction giving a sense of stability and safety to the birds
- Diamond shape lid encloses and protects the feed keeping it dry and does not allow water to pool on top of the feeder
- Weight necessary to open the feed door is easily adjusted between bird weight of .5 lbs to 5lbs.
- Stabilizing feet to avoid direct contact with ground thus preventing rust and premature failure of the feeder
- A great addition to any chicken coop
Customer Reviews
Very well made feeder with top quality materials! Food stays dry. The treadle and door have needed quite a bit of adjustments to try and get it to fully close,
It is a very well built feeder just trying to get chickens used of using it
We needed an automatic feed to feed our 6 or so chickens AND be rodent proof, as we are in the mountains with lots of crawly things. This does the job great, and I was surprised by the gauge of the metal and quality of the build. I expect this to last for many years to come.
I am hoping my hens will get used to it. I have another brand and they love it. This one requires sticking their head farther in to eat. I like the idea they can't make much mess but so far very reluctant to use it...even with it weighted open.
It is perfect and was delivered very quickly, thanks!

Leopold, Hereditary Prince of Anhalt
Quick Facts
|Leopold Friedrich Franz Ernst von Anhalt
|Military officer
|18 July 1855, Dessau, Germany
|2 February 1886, Cannes, France (aged 30 years)
|Star sign
Leopold of Anhalt (18 July 1855 – 2 February 1886), was a German prince of the House of Ascania. From 1871 until his death he was heir to the duchy of Anhalt.
Early life
Prince Leopold was born on 18 July 1855 in Dessau as the first child of Hereditary Prince Frederick of Anhalt-Dessau-Köthen and his wife Princess Antoinette of Saxe-Altenburg. He was named after his grandfather Duke Leopold of Anhalt-Dessau-Köthen.
In 1863 his grandfather, Duke Leopold, became Duke of the united Duchy of Anhalt following the death of the last Duke of Anhalt-Bernburg.
On 22 May 1871, Duke Leopold died and Prince Leopold's father succeeded to the Duchy of Anhalt. Leopold himself now became hereditary prince.
Marriage and issue
In the autumn of 1883, Hereditary Prince Leopold proposed to Princess Viktoria of Prussia, daughter of Crown Prince Frederick of Prussia and Princess Victoria of the United Kingdom. But his proposal was refused. In April 1884 Friedrich von Holstein recorded that:
Princess Viktoria – or her mother – turned down the hereditary Prince of Anhalt last autumn.
In the end of December 1883 Hereditary Prince Leopold was engaged to Princess Elisabeth of Hesse-Kassel, the eldest daughter of Prince Frederick William of Hesse-Kassel and Princess Anna of Prussia. When hearing of this engagement, Queen Victoria, whose daughter apparently had not informed her mother of the rejected proposal, wrote:
but I regret that you have not got him en réserve for Vicky if her fond hopes cannot be realised.
Leopold and Elisabeth were married on 26 May 1884 at Schloss Philippsruhe in Hanau. They had one daughter:
- Antoinette (Schloss Georgium, 3 March 1885 – Dessau, 3 April 1963), married on 26 May 1909 to Prince Frederick of Schaumburg-Lippe.
Less than one year after the birth of his daughter, Leopold died unexpectedly in Cannes on 2 February 1886. As he had no sons, he was succeeded as Hereditary prince by his younger brother Frederick who would eventually become Duke Frederick II of Anhalt.
Princess Elisabeth never remarried and survived her husband by almost 70 years. She died in Dessau on 7 January 1955.

A Garden Room Grows into Something Spectacular
Local Springfield entrepreneur, Denise Wright of DKW Designs, designed her formal living room with a farmhouse twist.
By Dru Berry
Sep 2018
Denise Wright, founder of DKW Designs and interior designer of 25 years, characterizes the home of Rick and Cheryl Barsness as a modern farmhouse. The Barsnesses, owners of Springfield's Incredible Pizza Co., tasked Wright with reinventing their formal, unused living room into a room with an outdoorsy ambiance warranting everyday use.
Cheryl made it clear the room shouldn't have a traditional vibe because it'd been that way before, but she didn't want anything ultra-fancy. Wright decided to emphasize clean lines, evident in the sofa, pillows and metal chairs.
To achieve the desired effect of an outdoorsy room, Wright painted the walls a lighter tone of green and sprinkled green colors throughout the furniture. The Barsnesses' son, Aaron, built the brick fireplace, which caught Wright's eye and inspired her to arrange the furniture so the fireplace became the focal point of the room. Wright believes a focal point is essential for any room and selected furniture that complemented the room while keeping the focus on the fireplace.
Red is Cheryl's favorite color, and the striking ottoman plays off the barn located behind the house. The sky blue incorporated in the pillow lightens the room.
The Barsnesses' radiant red barn is picturesquely framed by a living room window. Wright deliberately placed the furniture in the room to have clear lines of sight out the windows.

I made this hat for my bro-in-law. He works for an exterminator so I made a yellow jacket to sit on his head! :laugh: He also spends some winter days in the high desert in eastern OR. so I also used the extra yellow cormo to knit a thick ribbing to roll down and keep his ears from freezing over there. Yellow is a company color and also should help brighten up a winter day, don't you think? I used my precious handspun cormo wool and suri apaca to keep his (formally) red head warm! There's a close up of the Yellow Jacket on http://hazelsyarns.blogspot.com/ if you'd like to see.
I hope he likes it.

Muscat: Bank Muscat, the flagship financial services provider in the Sultanate, in step with its 'Let's Do More' vision and commitment to partnership in innovation and sustainable development of Oman, extended support and participated in the TEDxQurum event.
Aimed at igniting innovation in the country through imaginative interaction between participants, the event evoked a strong response from all segments of society.
Addressing the audience, Abdulnasir Al Raisi, DGM – Premier Banking, said: "Bank Muscat, which marks the 35th anniversary this year, views the partnership with TEDxQurm an earnest attempt to unite people in the pursuit of innovation, development and discovering the joy of being connected. The bank is committed to playing a prominent role in the development of Omani talent and improving their skills and expertise and reaches out to encourage innovation, especially entrepreneurial initiatives by youth. The bank is gratified to facilitate the opportunity to discuss the latest developments shaping the future of the country and the world."
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a programme of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
The TEDxQurum event was marked by brilliant speakers, thought-provoking videos and inspiring conversation. TED is a non-partisan non-profit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks. TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 110 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
Bank Muscat is proud to have set a trail of innovative banking services, products and facilities that meet the requirements of customers. Setting new benchmarks, the sophisticated banking experience at Bank Muscat stems from the right mix of traditional and electronic channels.
Leading by example is the forte of Bank Muscat, making lasting contributions to society and the nation. The CSR and sustainability strategy pursued by Bank Muscat is focused on delivering long-term benefits to the community and the nation.
