My multiple journeys to Shanghai, China has revealed some unique and interesting art and cultural histories. The most populated metropolis on earth is located on the coast and is a global financial hub.

Its heart is the Bund, a famed waterfront promenade lined with colonial-era buildings. Across the Huangpu River rises the Pudong district’s futuristic skyline, including 632m Shanghai Tower and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, with distinctive pink spheres. Sprawling Yu Garden has traditional pavilions, towers, and ponds.

Financial markets uncertainty is the enemy of economic stability and whoever embraces chaos has to expect the negative outcome. Are these trade winds more like hot air?

POTUS is going after China on tariffs and considers an additional $100 billion in response to China's decision to slap $50 billion on US imports. China's $50 billion was a response to the Trump announcement of $50 billion in tariffs on China. The president has called trade wars "good, and easy to win" so when are we going to get tired of winning?

Mother nature has a way to surprise us every day. Although the calendar may say Spring, more snow is on its way across the upper Midwest, Great Lakes, Northeast, and northern New England way.

Accumulations of up to a few inches are possible in the Great Lakes and interior Northeast. This could bring a more significant snowstorm on Friday and Saturday, with heavy snow from the central Plains to the Mid-Atlantic. Washington, D.C., could have its biggest April snowstorm in nearly 100 years on Saturday. How can anyone deny climate change is real?
