If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation about this passage, please go to my website: markscarbrough.com.[05:18] Dante the pilgrim and the illuminator Oderisi appear to know each other--which may well be a first comment on the vagaries of artistic fame.[06:48] Who were Oderisi da Gubbio and the Bolognese Franco?[11:55] Laughter may be near the root of Dante's art.[14:25] And desire may lie near the root of Dante's understanding of human behavior.[18:29] Oderisi mixes his metaphors--he is no poet![20:21] Giotto surpasses Cimabue in the development of craft and its tie to fame.[23:35] And someone (Dante?) may well pass the two Guidos in literature . . . although he may be more humbled than first appears to be the case.[27:28] The prideful in PURGATORIO's first terrace reference the heretics in INFERNO.[29:44] The end of the passage makes Brunetto Latini's grand, heroic speech into a lie.[34:52] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XI, lines 73 - 108.

For the week's macro news (5:35), Jeff reviewed readings on the ISM manufacturing and services indexes, labor market reports and the release of the Dec. 13, 2023, meeting minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee. For the Topic of the Week (10:31), Jeff and Sam share their thoughts on the Treasury basis trade and recent blips in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Barring a change of pace in balance sheet reduction by the Federal Reserve, Jeff expects more blips in SOFR rates as quantitative tightening continues, further reducing excess reserves in the banking system. On their radar for macro prints Jan. 8-12 (25:08) are releases of the consumer and producer price indexes for December and jobless claims.

Bio for Monique Allen Monique Allen is a Business Coach, Life-Scape & Regenerative Landscape Professional and CEO & Creative Director of The Garden Continuum, a landscape design/build and fine gardening company in Massachusetts. Episode highlightAs a bilingual Armenian-American, Monique Allen had a plethora of cultural influences in her childhood. Listen in on how she combined the many identities she holds to establish her own workplace culture in the landscaping industry.LinksEmail: Monique@TheGardenContinuum.com Website: www.TheGardenContinuum.comSocial media: @monique.allen, @thegardencontinuumLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moniquetgc/Quotes“When I felt the safest, it was when I was connected to the ground.”“It's hard to believe in nature and not believe in a force that's a little bit greater than your gas pedal.”TakeawaysChildhood IncidentsAs a child, Monique visited her maternal grandparents in the Allegheny Mountains in Maryland, where she felt a “cellular connection” to nature. She grew up with a “3rd culture mindset”, living in Paris and then in an Armenian community in the United States, speaking Armenian, French and English.Influential Groups Even though Armenian cuisine is her comfort food, Monique has always felt like an “outsider Armenian”, because she isn't as fluent in the language. Her Christian friend and her family took Monique under their wing, and she immersed herself in the religion. Temperament and Personality InfluencesMonique has a naturally positive mood and outlook but can also be serious and demanding of herself and other people, which she attributes to her “abrasive upbringing”. She has had to unlearn any destructive behaviours from the past and reconnect to her easy temperament. Cultural EpiphaniesMonique once had an employee who had the vision, skills and abilities for the job, but she couldn't find a cultural common ground with her. When another employee said she may not be a cultural fit, Monique began learning about culture in the workplace and how that fits in with her company.Advice to an Employer Monique is a stickler for organization, clear communication and data - “Vagaries make me crazy”, she quips. However, she does not believe in micromanaging and even works in a separate space from her employees, so they can be autonomous in a “trust culture”. More Great Insights! Visit Monique's website to buy her book, Stop Landscaping, Start Lifescaping, read her blog and access many resources to get started in this field.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 47 °F, and temperatures today will head right up into the mid-to-upper 60s. I dunno, we might could even see 70 °F! Expect a pretty temperate first week of February.Water coolerRichmond Police are reporting that a driver hit and killed a person walking along the 5200 block of Hull Street over the weekend. Police are still looking for the driver and the vehicle—which may be silver or gray in color with heavy damage to the front end. If you have any information you can call the RPD’s Crash Team Investigator (804.646.1665) or contact Crime Stoppers at 804.780.1000 or at 7801000.com.Remember when Republican freshman delegate Wendell Walker submitted a bad-faith bill to remove the Harry F. Byrd statue from the Capitol grounds? Byrd, a Democrat, was Virginia’s head segregationist, and I guess Walker thought that present-day Democrats would recoil at the thought of taking down a monument to an actual racist who happened to be one of their own. Well, that plan to own the libz has severely backfired as Democrats are pretty stoked to vote for Walker’s bill, which he has now requested be removed from consideration. Turns out, that’s not how things work, and the House Rules Committee has asked Walker to come to the front of the class and explain, why, exactly, he submitted the bill in the first place and why he now wants it killed. These sort of time-wasting bills that exist solely to prove a point (bread and butter for folks like Sen. Tommy Norment) work a lot better when you’ve got control of the legislative body—otherwise own the libz quickly turns into a very public self own.Speaking of bills that won’t die, Nicholas Smith’s latest edition of VAGAries gets into the particulars of how bills do or do not die. Tap through to read the thrilling tale of what exactly happened with Del. Bourne’s bill to redirect some of the State’s sales tax to help pay for Richmond’s proposed new downtown arena—it’s an absolutely bananas chain of events. The tl;dr is that almost no one knows if Bourne’s bill is actually all dead or if it’s still slightly alive (big difference). We’ll learn more at a Finance subcommittee meeting today at 8:00 AM, but I’m leaning toward the whole thing being a series of unfortunate events—you know, assume incompetence before you assume malice.Samuel Northrop at the Richmond Times-Dispatch says that Richmond Public Schools have sold the empty Moore Street School to VCU for $1. VCU has plans to turn the building into a child development center and will hold a third of the slots—at no cost!—for kids living in Carver and Gilpin Court. If this turns into anything like the VCU Health Family Care Center at Northside, it’ll be a pretty great addition to the neighborhood. I do, however, think, of all entities in the region, that VCU could afford to at least pay the assessed value of the property (I’d look that up, but the City’s parcel mapper appears to be down this morning). It’s awesome that VCU will hold space for kids in the community but, like, no need to just give property away when the school district has so many financial needs.What does it mean when legislators or bills say things are “in the public interest?” Sarah Vogelsong at the Virginia Mercury explains it all, in this edition of Virginia Explained. You’ll learn a bunch about legislative process but also how it applies to Virginia’s renewable energy economy.Today is your final opportunity to weigh in on the Amelia Street School renaming, which you can do at 6:30 PM (1821 Amelia Street). I think this is the final public engagement session for school renamingthat RPS plans to do, so we should soon see a report or a PDF or something with suggested new names for George Mason Elementary, E.S.H. Greene Elementary, the Amelia Street School, and the new middle school on Hull Street.via /r/rva, I kind of love this beer (or soda!) bottle cap map of Virginia.The 2020 Iowa Democratic caucuses take place today, and you can follow along in a million different ways, even right on Wikipedia!

Everything comes from somewhere, including vinyl records. Keep reading though, because streaming music comes from somewhere too, and the environmental impact of massive data centers is certainly nonzero.While it is far exceeded by revenues from streaming, the vinyl market keeps growing – Americans now spend as much on vinyl as they do on CDs, while there were 4.3m vinyl sales in the UK last year, the 12th consecutive year of growth. So, if you’re one of the millions of people to re-embrace vinyl records, it’s worth knowing where they come from and how they’re made. There are containers called hoppers at each pressing station, brimming with the lentil-like polymer pellets that get funnelled down into the machinery, heated and fused to form larger biscuits that resemble hockey pucks, and squashed to make records.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 16 °F, but highs today will head up out of the frozone and into the mid 40s. Expect plenty of sunshine as temperatures continue to warm throughout the week.Water coolerI know it’s only January, but last night marked the official kickoff for the 2020 Budget Season! Over at the School Board meeting, Superintendent Kamras introduced his FY2021 budget (PDF), and, I swear y’all, it is the most readable and approachable budget document I think I’ve ever seen. They’ve got proposed expenditures broken down by categories from the strategic plan (Dreams4RPS(PDF)), which is so smart. For example, RPS wants to spend $489,000 more on adding six social workers, which falls under Priority 3, Safe and Loving School Cultures. Honestly, right away I feel a weird sense of protective ownership in this budget (??) since we all collectively spent so much time working on the strategic plan a couple summers ago. However, it all comes down to money and the extremely tiny amounts of it we have available, so what’s the total cost? $39 million more dollars. That’s a lot, but it should surprise exactly zero humans as RPS has been exceedingly clear and upfront with their budget needs moving forward over the next couple of years. The School District plans to pick up $18 million more from the State, should the Governor’s budget pass as is, so that leaves $21 million on the City’s tab. It’s been awhile, but do you remember how I kept talking about restoring the real estate tax to pre-Recession era levels because schools—not to mention transit or public housing—needed tens of millions of dollars of immediate investment? Well, City Council decided not to do that, so here we are with a big, not-unexpected request from Richmond Public Schools. I’m very interested to see how the Mayor and City Council deals with it. BUCKLE UP IT IS BUDGET SEASON.Schools don’t have a monopoly on budgets, and GRTC’s CEO introduced a FY20–22 Capital Blueprint (PDF). This budget document is…not as heartwarming as RPS’s—but that’s a high, high bar. C. Suarez Rojas at the Richmond Times-Dispatch breaks down some of the details, which include articulated buses and a Park and Ride for the Pulse.Over the long weekend, Richmond Public Schools Superintendent Jason Kamras decided to close schools this coming Monday, January 27th because “it appears that nearly 700 (about a third) of our teachers will be taking personal leave to participate in the VEA rally” for increasing state-level education funding. First, that’s kind of rad—good for those teachers. Second, my family is in the very privileged position of easily being able to absorb a day off from school with only a week’s notice. Many folks are not and will have to scramble to figure out childcare, meals, and a bunch of other logistics. I’m sure that was a tough call to make, but it feels like the right one. Also, where are you going to find 700 substitute teachers?Graham Moomaw at the Virginia Mercury has the update on the fate of Republican gun bills down at the General Assembly. Did you know Republicans had gun bills? They do, or, well, more accurately, they did. Unable to read the room, Republicans submitted some pro-gun violence bills, including one that would have allowed concealed carry without a permit. These bills did not make it out of subcommittee.Speaking of the General Assembly, I really recommend you check out my pal Nicholas Smith’s VAGAries email. Yesterday, he had a great bit about the proposed shopping cart bill (a real bill that definitely exists) and a couple days ago he had some nuanced thoughts on whether or not we should make Election Day a holiday. Sure, it’s nice to know about big-picture items like the ridiculous Republicans gun bills dying in subcommittee, but what I’m really after is slower, more thoughtful writing about what the heck stuff down at the GA means. This newsletter fills a hole in my politics-nerd life for sure!The impeachment trial of Donald Trump got underway in earnest yesterday. Lots of stuff happened! Or, at least, it took Republicans in the Senate a long, long time to vote NO on many, many things and to establish the rules for the next steps of the process. Now the arguments portion of the trial begins, which means it is definitely the time to subscribe to impeachment.fyi if you haven’t already. I mean, who wants to spend their own time watching hours and hours of public meetings drag on into the middle of the night? Just kidding! That sounds awesome, and, if I had the time, it is exactly how I’d spend my evenings over the next week or two. But, since I definitely do not have that kind of time, I will read the impeachment.fyi each morning and feel plenty informed.This morning’s longread“Flood the zone with shit”: How misinformation overwhelmed our democracyI loved this Vox article—even though it deeply bums me out—about our media and our very brain’s inability to deal with this present moment.We’re in an age of manufactured nihilism. The issue for many people isn’t exactly a denial of truth as such. It’s more a growing weariness over the process of finding the truth at all. And that weariness leads more and more people to abandon the idea that the truth is knowable. I call this “manufactured” because it’s the consequence of a deliberate strategy. It was distilled almost perfectly by Steve Bannon, the former head of Breitbart News and chief strategist for Donald Trump. “The Democrats don’t matter,” Bannon reportedly said in 2018. “The real opposition is the media.

  John Allen Paulos is an award winning mathematician and best selling author. A professor in mathematics at Temple University, he has written for The Guardian, CFI’s Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, and his monthly column for ABCNews.com, “Who’s Counting?” His new book is called A Numerate Life: A Mathematician Explores the Vagaries of Life, His Own and Probably Yours. Paulos uses basic mathematic principles to lend a fresh perspective to everyday life, and the results can be fascinating. He sheds light on everything from the mathematical science behind romantic crushes to the astronomical consequences of the butterfly effect. Some of the harsher mathematical realities can be troubling, like the inevitable probability of becoming more jaded as we age. But Paulos’s mathematical message also has plenty to take solace in, like knowing that dimensional geography suggests that every single one of us is far more peculiar than we may be willing to admit. That’s right, you are not the only weirdo you know; in reality we’re all a bunch of weirdos.
