The battle hymn of the tiger father

The battle hymn of the tiger father

In 2011, Amy Chua published a book entitled “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother“. As a tiger dad, I felt obligated to speak out and I did, with an article entitled The Battle Hymn of The Tiger Dad. Below is the conclusion:

There are many ways to do the same thing. In parenting, between the Chinese way and the American way, I chose the latter and am very happy about it!

Now, twelve years later, I have more complete results to report:

  • My elder son Dan (Yale, Economics, Class 2009) is now the CEO of a start-up named “The Real Seat” (https://www.therealseat.com/). It is intended to rival Ticket Master or Stub Hub (his last employer).
  • My younger son Ben (Michigan, Business, Class 2011) is now the CFO of a major line of business within GE.

March 2023 Economic Forecast: Data Improves But Inflation Uncertainties May Be A Monkey Wrench

Authored by Steven Hansen

EconCurrent‘s Economic Index continues to improve but remains slightly in negative territory. Interestingly, there continues to be improvement in the economic releases we view. Even industrial production and retail sales insignificantly gained. Yet, there is a potential chill in the air caused by inflation uncertainties. Read on to understand the currents affecting our economic growth.

Easy Eddie & Butch O’Hare

The two stories about Easy Eddie and Butch O’Hare I am about to tell you are not new, especially in Chicagoland, where I have resided since 1993. Recently, I received an email with a [more] complete version of the stories. So, I have decided to simply convert the email to this post for wider circulation of the stories.

Here is what we are paying attention to in the next 48 to 72 hours from Monday afternoon’s NWS Forecast. This is a combination of a U.S. plus World Weather Article. We have also incorporated much of what we normally issue on Friday Night which is basically the same report but with more images displayed rather than simply providing the links to make it easier for readers to look ahead 28 days. Saturday NOAA issued their End of Month Report which includes the updated outlook for January 2023. We want to feature that over the weekend so we have provided a link in the NOAA End of Month Article back to this article so those readers can visit this article to get the short-term weather forecasts.

We start with the U.S. Information.

...A low pressure system is bringing heavy snow and ice across the
northern Plains to the upper Midwest as well as heavy rain and severe
weather across the South through the next couple of days...

...Unsettled weather continues along the West Coast with the next round of
heavy precipitation reaching northern California later on Wednesday...

Notes:

  1. -more- was properly positioned.
  2. Unused block of code immediately before “3-4 Weeks” section:

<h2>–</h2>
<div>
<div>
<table border=”5px” cellpadding=”3px”>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div>–</div>
</div>

This created an unfilled image in the text.  Holding code for future use?

3. There are a number of unneeded <div>..</div> plus <H2>..</H2>, <H3>..</H3>, and <H4>..</H4> tags.  These should not cause any problems.

4.  The HTML code doesn’t have any impactful inefficiencies.

I have replaced the econintersect image address with the origin address for the 60-hour GIF. (1 am jan. 23).  Let’s see if that creates an auto-update.

It’s guns, stupid!

It’s guns, stupid!

*** This post was published on June 2, 2021. It reads well today, if “San Jose” is simply replaced with “Texas” (Texas shooting: How a sunny Uvalde school day ended in bloodshed).

Another mass shooting (San Jose shooting leaves 9 dead). Again the flag is half-staff at the White House (‘Enough’: Biden urges Congress to pass gun control bills after lowering flag for latest mass shooting).  Still another ‘all-talk without action’ by American politicians … Gov. Newsom asks, ‘What the hell is wrong with us?’ following San Jose shooting.

It’s guns, stupid!
