Olivia Cigliano is a News & Deals Editor at InStyle where she covered the best deals and purchases across fashion serve side by side as fighter pilots in northern Japan Here they are shown in front of an F-16 in their party suits (a fighter pilot tradition) when they were stationed at Kunsan Air Base while assigned to the 35th Fighter Squadron STERLING – For Air Force Capts. Tanner “Brüt” Massey and Sydney “Menace” Shephard, the view from 30,000 feet is not only a mission – it’s a shared way of life. The married fighter pilots, both currently stationed in northern Japan, fly F-16 training missions together, serving their country while navigating military life side by side in the air and at home. Massey, a 2015 Sterling High School graduate, and Shephard have been in the Air Force for about five years. They met as cadets in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where what started as a college friendship eventually turned into a lifelong partnership. “It definitely wasn’t love at first sight – at least not for her,” Massey recalled. “I had to work harder to get her attention than anything else I’d ever done.” Shephard jokingly agrees, saying their relationship started when “a boy invited himself to a girl’s family Christmas and then never left.” The couple married in March 2020, just before Shephard’s graduation and their move to their first duty station for pilot training. Despite the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, they launched into a demanding but rewarding military journey, one that has taken them across the globe – from training in the U.S. to deployments in South Korea and now Japan. Known as the “Mighty Viper,” flying F-16s is a dream the two share. “It’s a welcome challenge,” Shephard said. “It’s like flying down a backroad listening to ‘Thunderstruck.’” Massey echoed her sentiment, calling the aircraft a “phenomenal” multirole fighter that remains one of the most lethal platforms despite being fourth generation. The pair flies missions in the same formation, something few military couples get to experience. “It’s a cool and unique experience to get to fly alongside your spouse,” Shephard said. “You get a front-row seat to their growth as a pilot, which is awesome, and you also get to see all of their funny little mistakes to tease them about later.” Although they fly in separate jets, their bond translates into an intuitive partnership in the skies. “The real advantage with Sydney is more personal – it’s the ability to read subtle cues, like a slight change in her tone over the radio,” Massey said. “Usually, it’s when I’m pushing her patience a little too far.” However, both Shephard and Massey emphasized that all fighter pilots they serve with are highly trained and capable, and personal familiarity is only one part of a larger team effort. The couple has flown “too many training missions together to count,” said Shephard, with Massey logging almost 470 flying hours to date. The pair has been stationed in Japan since late 2024 and is currently immersed in frequent flight training and preparing for pilot upgrades. Off duty, they have been settling into their home and enjoying winter sports and travel. “We’re diving into the local culture,” Massey said. Future travel plans include destinations such as Bali, Vietnam and New Zealand. Their future in the Air Force remains open-ended. Both have about six years left in their initial 10-year pilot commitments and are considering continuing active duty or transitioning to the Air National Guard. “We will stay in the military as long as it still fits our lifestyle and family goals,” Shephard said. For now, the pair continues to dominate the skies together. I received my Associate's in Communication (Media) from Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon, IL.

The British pound is bouncing back after dipping due to tariffs, with promising trade deals and a cautious Bank of England stance boosting confidence. For markets: Hope on the horizon for the pound. Sterling’s rebound is a testament to market sentiment adjusting to changes in trade dynamics and monetary policy. Potential trade agreements between the US, China, and the UK are fostering optimism, suggesting GBP's resilience. With tariff tensions easing, market stability is bolstering confidence in the pound. However, caution remains as the UK rate market has priced in potential BoE rate cuts, which might pressure the pound if more dovish moves occur. The bigger picture: Trade tides turn the currency boat. As global trade tensions ease, the potential for faster trade deals and optimism in energy price reductions are influencing forex trends. A dovish Bank of England stance complements these shifts and could lead to more flexible monetary policies if needed. While GDP forecasts suggest a strong economy this year, challenges are expected next year. This landscape highlights the interplay between trade policies and currency values, impacting international trade beyond the UK.

Amid global growth worries from US tariffs, analysts from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia predict a downgrade in the UK's GDP forecasts. Still, the BoE is expected to proceed cautiously, slowly reducing rates despite ongoing inflation pressures The currency market already expects at least two more rate cuts this year potentially affecting the GBP/USD exchange rate as sterling remains weaker against the euro at 85.26 pence For markets: Steering through currency volatility potential impacts on the pound could alter investor strategies As market pricing anticipates further monetary easing investors should monitor how these changes affect sectors sensitive to currency shifts The bigger picture: The crossroads of global economic policies As US trade policies stir economic waters, global central banks must carefully navigate these changes. The BoE's rate cuts indicate a broader trend of monetary easing responding to geopolitical tensions, affecting global trade and currency stability. Observers should note how these strategies align or differ from actions by the US Federal Reserve and other major economies.

GBPUSDThe British pound hovered near $1.33 as markets awaited the Bank of England's upcoming policy decision, with a 25 basis point rate cut to 4.25% widely anticipated. Investors are also watching for the Bank's updated economic forecasts, which could signal whether further cuts are likely. Some analysts believe the BoE may lean toward a more aggressive easing path in response to global risks, especially those linked to President Trump's new tariffs, which have heightened fears of a global slowdown. Nevertheless, the UK is seen as relatively shielded from US tariffs compared to regions like China or the EU, as the US ran a $12 billion goods surplus with Britain in 2024. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is expected to hold rates steady on Wednesday. On the trade front, uncertainty persists around US-China relations. Trump said China may want a deal but gave no timeline, while Beijing indicated willingness to talk if the US removes tariffs first.

Since joining the Morgan State University Athletics Department in December 2022 Sterling played a vital role in advancing our programs and strengthening the department's financial and operational success and unwavering dedication left an indelible mark on our student-athletes "Sterling was more than a colleague—he was a respected leader, mentor, and friend," said Dena Freeman-Patton Vice President and Director for Intercollegiate Athletics "His passion for athletics and his commitment to elevating Morgan's programs were evident in all that he did He worked tirelessly to ensure our student-athletes had the resources and opportunities to excel and his impact will be felt for years to come We extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones Sterling's time at Morgan was marked by strategic growth and collaboration particularly in his work with the Division of Institutional Advancement where he helped expand opportunities and build lasting relationships to support the University's athletic programs His contributions and legacy will continue to inspire us Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here and like so many of today’s musicmaking organizations the weekend concert series at the Gardner Museum has been following suit Sterling Elliott turned solely to American composers this: “Sterling’s performance will be a fun time.” Growing up with The Elliott Family String Quartet a young Sterling “enjoyed personalized arrangements of genres such as bluegrass and funk music.” Paradoxical as it may seem coming from one of America’s own who himself tied jazz to classical idioms Gunther Schuller compared the vastly wide-ranging composition approaches of the 20th and 21st centuries to that of “a rudderless ship.” Recall the extremes from John Cage and indeterminacy to Pierre Boulez and serialism not to mention minimalism and many more “ism-s.” Sterling Elliott’s American exhibit Sunday afternoon held promise One could not help noticing there being four composers of color and a woman programmed who lived well into the first half of the last century The 20th-century “Dean of Afro-American Composers,” William Grant Still and first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music Perrault and Kevin Day introduced by the cellist communicated unabashedly in “melting pot” ways Elliott favored intimacy perhaps in part due to his instrument itself seeming somewhat frail As his pianississimo-fortississiomo canvas became more and more evident making the match at times conservatory heaven; at other times would have the Steinway speaking alarmingly The still quite youthful cellist framed the first set by opening with Amy Beach’s Dreaming from 4 Sketches and remoteness from everyday life instead focused on—forgive the technicality—the appoggiatura That is an expressive embellishing note that leans into the note that is first expected For his 2016 Cello Sonata Kevin Day went beyond the ways of the traditional fast-slow-fast tempo and sonata structure by assigning a markedly different sonata voice—style or even genre—for each of the three movements Elliott described it as “eclectic” serving as “feel good” music again somewhat all over the map and coming with flickers of inventiveness Perrault’s Brother Malcolm (2009) is “A fictional conversation between Martin Luther King Jr and Malcom X on the inauguration of Barack Obama as 44th President of the United States.” Respun minor tonalities broke out in rage the close came with a hint of “Coming for to carry me home.” from Swing Low Sweet Chariot With the cello-piano duo so interlinked in solo-accompaniment format exchanges of sentiments were mostly by way of the cello from contemplating to emotionalizing Elliott spoke of the work as “rhetorical.” With the cello now on the other side of the piano and the lid full stick before a half-full Hall it was tough keeping up with George Walker’s uncompromising Cello Sonata (1957)—and what a turn away from the feel good and rhetorical it was the strongest piece on the program was a strange encounter at the Gardner more so because those of us who enjoyed watching Sterling Elliott during the first set could only see his feet with the piano moved in the opposite direction the polished ebony lid full stick reflecting the brightly lit ceiling Is Calderwood Hall the right place for this—or any—duo why not move the audience instead of the performers ISGM is blunt in its stating that the concert starts promptly at 1:30 No wonder the many transcriptions and popularity of Mother and Child from William Grant Still’s 1943 Suite for Violin and Piano Perhaps a good way to conclude such a program as this but the emoting of Elliott and Wang overplayed warmth in the Still favorite inspired by the painting of Sargent Johnson No Comments » Categories ReviewsRSS feed for comments on this post.
