This photo shows the aftermath of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911. Over the last week or so, you might’ve come across the online discourse about the Roman Empire. To sum it up, there’s been a social media trend in which people ask the men in their lives how often they think about ancient Rome. The answer for many: quite frequently. But amid the online chatter about men’s surprising (or perhaps unsurprising) fixation with the Roman Empire came another interesting question. What’s the equivalent for women?The sinking of the Titanic, the six wives of Henry VIII, the Salem witch trials and the death of the Romanov family are among the more popular suggestions (along with non-historical fixations like the fear of kidnapping and anxiety about past social interactions). But another tragic disaster that looms particularly large in this conversation is the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire

Martin Lewis has just revealed the best course of action for people looking to set up a savings accounts after this week’s interest rate news.The MoneySavingExpert was speaking to ITV’sGood Morning Britain on Friday following the Bank of England’s decision not to raise interest rates for the first time in almost two years.The Bank chose to leave the interest rate at its current level of 5.25% – after 14 consecutive hikes – following the surprising fall in inflation over August, down to 6.7%.To refresh your memory, an interest rate is the cost of borrowing money, and the base rate, usually copied by other banks, is decided by the Bank of England.High rates therefore mean people with mortgages and credit card debt will have to pay their lenders more interest.But, high rates also mean those with savings get more return on their money in the bank.If you have a variable savings account, you can get money out whenever you choose – but your interest rates will fluctuate with the Bank’s base rate.If you have a fixed savings account though, you can get more bang for your buck.That’s why, after the Bank’s announcement, Lewis said: “The most urgent people who need to think about this are savers.”'The most urgent people who need to think about this are savers'Martin Lewis issues an urgent warning and advice to those with savings as the Bank of England holds rates at 5.25%. pic.twitter.com/MkIZL0Uv4w— Good Morning Britain (@GMB) September 22, 2023He explained if you open up a fixed savings account right now, and then you have usually a week or two weeks (or sometimes up to a month) to fund it – and you can take your money out if you change your mind.For those looking for fixed savings accounts where you can keep your money safe for a year or two, the financial expert advised: “You go and open a top fixed savings account now, open it – but if you want to see what happens if the interest rates and other saving rates are going to come down, you don’t fund it until the last minute.“So you can have the facility available, at today’s high rates.“And if the rates do drop, you can plonk your money in there, and you’re locked in on that rate for a year or two.“And if rates don’t drop or even if they went up the other way – unlikely but it could happen, markets move all the time – well, then you just open another account and you don’t put your money in this one.”Lewis also predicted that saving rates will drop after the unexpected announcement from the Bank of England.“We think, nobody knows that means the top fixed savings rates are likely to shave down a little bit,” he said.Interest rates are currently at their highest rates since March 2008 – and they’re unlikely to stay that way for long, so it’s worth acting now if you want to boost your savings.Related...When Will Food Prices Start Coming Down?

Over a six-decade career the American artist has worked ‘twice as hard’ to bring her vivid, colourful figures to an audience. On the eve of her first major UK show, she talks race, representation and the human spirit that unites usSylvia Snowden’s monumental expressionistic paintings hit you in the gut. Bodies arch, hunch and contort, emanating suffering, fear, joy and aspiration. But what really holds your gaze, even more than their misshapen, hyperextended forms painted in gorgeous hues, is their fierce vitality.At the age of 81, the American artist is having her first major solo show in the UK. The title, M Street on White, takes its name from the road in inner-city Washington DC where Snowden has lived for the past 45 years. Although individually titled after M Street’s residents, the paintings are emphatically not portraits, she insists. “I’m making an effort to show the emotional state,” Snowden says when we meet at Edel Assanti gallery in London. “Because we’re human beings, we all have the same sort of tugs and pushes through life, no matter what the background is, and that’s what I’m painting about.” Continue reading...
