I Feel Like I Am Living In Crazytown
We haven't had an extended bout of painful inflation like this since the days of the Carter administration, and our leaders in Washington have decided that the best way forward is to rapidly create even more inflation. They keep using words like "transitory" to describe the current inflation crisis, but then they turn right around and talk about the need to create, borrow and spend even more money. It is utter madness, but at this point there is nobody that is going to stop them. We are all passengers on a "highway to Weimar", and those that have their hands on the wheel have gone completely nuts.
On Wednesday, we learned that on a year-over-year basis inflation continues to rise at the fastest pace that we have seen since the last financial crisis…
Federal data released on Wednesday showed that for the 12 months through July, the consumer price index rose 5.4 percent, unchanged from June and at the highest level since the Great Recession in 2008.
But since the way that the rate of inflation is calculated has literally been changed dozens of times over the decades, the only way to get an apples for apples comparison is to calculate what the rate of inflation would be if it was still calculated the same way it was at some previous moment in our history.
John Williams of shadowstats.com has done just that. According to Williams, if inflation was still calculated the same way it was back in 1990, we would be at about 9 percent at this moment.
And if inflation was still calculated the same way it was back in 1980, we would be way into double digits right now.
Many Americans had assumed that we would never again see the sort of crazy inflation that we witnessed during the Carter years, but now it is here.
In particular, food prices, gas prices and vehicle prices are rapidly becoming quite painful…
New vehicle prices rose 6.4 percent on the year, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending January 1982. Gasoline was also up 42 percent.
The prices of many everyday items have jumped sharply in the past year. Bacon was up 11 percent and whole milk and beef roast were both 8 percent higher on the year.
Travel expenses jumped hugely from last summer's depressed base level, with hotels up 24 percent and airfare up 19 percent.
Needless to say, this is having a substantial impact on our standard of living.
Even though wages are rising, they aren't rising nearly as fast as the cost of living is…
It is getting harder and harder for American workers to make ends meet as rising inflation outpaces pay gains, pushing down inflation-adjusted compensation at a pace almost never seen before.
Adjusted for inflation, hourly compensation fell 2.7 percent in the second quarter, data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on the nonfarm business sector showed Tuesday.
Inflation is a tax on all of us, and it is going to whittle down the size of the middle class with each passing month.
And this is just the beginning. In recent days, many corporate executives have been very vocal about the fact that more price hikes are ahead.
For example, Shake Shack has publicly announced that another round of price increases is incoming…
The popular burger chain Shake Shack announced it will be implementing yet another price hike in 2021 to fight inflation.
During a conference call with analysts last week, Shake Shack's chief financial officer Katherine Fogerty said customers will be paying three to 3.5 percent more for their food in the fourth quarter of 2021.
And the CEO of Tyson Foods is warning that costs keep rising even more quickly than his company can raise prices for consumers…
Tyson Foods Inc., the top chicken producer in the U.S., confirmed in an earnings call that food inflation continues to push prices higher.
Tyson's CEO Donnie King said higher costs are hitting the firm faster than the company can lift prices, and retail prices are set to rise on Sept. 5.
My friends, this is going to get bad.
Really bad.
So what are our leaders doing in response?
Well, they have decided to create, borrow and spend even more money.
In fact, the Senate just passed a 1.2 trillion dollar infrastructure package and then immediately began working on a 3.5 trillion dollar spending package…
The Senate on Tuesday passed a $1 trillion infrastructure package and sent it to the House for consideration. The upper chamber then started work on a second $3.5 trillion package of further government spending. President Joe Biden will have to knit his party together to pass the larger measure. Already moderates like Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, have voiced concern about the impact of the $3.5 trillion measure on the $29 trillion national debt.
I feel like I am living in Crazytown.
They know that they are causing inflation, but they just can't help themselves.
At this point, even a top Democrat is warning that there will be "grave consequences"…
U.S. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin on Wednesday said he had "serious concerns" about Senate Democrats' planned $3.5 trillion spending plan, potentially gumming up efforts to move ahead with President Joe Biden's top priorities.
Manchin, in a statement, said that although he voted to move ahead and debate the plan, he was worried about the "grave consequences" of such spending on the nation's debt as well as the country's ability to respond to other potential crises.
But even though some of our politicians may pay lip service to fiscal responsibility once in a while, in the end most of them just keep voting for these insane spending packages.
So what can we do?
I often say that we should "hope for the best and prepare for the worst", but in this case there is no hoping for the best.
We know what they are going to do, and we know where this road leads.
So my recommendation is to prepare for the worst, and then do some more preparing, because things will eventually get really, really bad.
Congress is going to pass wild spending package after wild spending package, and the Fed is just going to continue to pump billions upon billions of fresh dollars into the financial system.
This is the greatest financial bubble in the history of the world, and it will be fascinating to watch how long it can last before it finally implodes.
Americans Are Taking On Debt As If Tomorrow Will Never Come
August 3, 2021 August 3, 2021 by Michael
If you make a conscious choice to ignore all long-term consequences, managing your personal finances can be a lot of fun. For example, instead of rationally evaluating what sort of mortgage payment you can actually afford, why not take a plunge and buy a $600,000 house? You only live once, right? And instead of making your current dumpy vehicle last another year or two, why not take out a huge loan on a brand new $60,000 SUV? You know you deserve it. While you are at it, why don't you go on another huge spending spree and max out all of your credit cards again. Paying off those credit cards will be very painful in the long run, but nobody thinks much about long-term consequences these days.
Just look at the federal government. They are 28 trillion dollars in debt and yet our politicians continue to throw money around like a bunch of drunken sailors.
Of course the federal government is far from alone. State and local governments have never been so deep in debt, we are in the midst of the greatest corporate debt binge of all time, and U.S. consumers are certainly doing their part. In fact, last quarter we witnessed the largest increase in consumer debt since just before the last financial crisis…
Americans have more debt than ever before.
A surge in credit card spending and home purchases caused US household debt to increase by $313 billion, or 2.1%, in the second quarter, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
That's the largest nominal jump since 2007 and the biggest percentage increase in seven and a half years.
Overall, U.S. consumers are now $14,960,000,000,000 in debt.
We will shortly hit the 15 trillion dollar mark, and I think that we should commemorate the crossing of that threshold with some sort of celebration.
Of course any celebration should involve going into even more debt, because there are few things that Americans enjoy more than getting even deeper into debt.
Mortgage debt is rising particularly quickly. Housing prices have been going through the roof recently, and this has created a frenzy on a scale that we haven't seen since just before the subprime mortgage meltdown of 2008…
Mortgage debt, the single biggest contributor to overall household debt, rose $282 billion to $10.44 trillion. A whopping 44% of the outstanding balances were originated over the past year, accounting for both new mortgages and refinancings.
But even though the US housing market is red hot and borrowing to purchase homes is through the roof, "there are still 2 million borrowers in mortgage forbearance who are vulnerable to financial distress once the forbearance programs come to an end," said Joelle Scally administrator of the Center of Microeconomic Data at the New York Fed.
Is it just me, or does it seem like we have been here before?
All of this just seems so oddly familiar.
Of course the experts are assuring us that this even bigger housing bubble will end so much more nicely than the last one did.
You believe them, don't you?
After being showered with trillions upon trillions of dollars by the federal government, you would think that most Americans should be in pretty good financial condition these days.
Unfortunately, it turns out that all of that money just made the gap between the wealthy and the rest of us even larger…
Americans added nearly $4 trillion to their savings during the coronavirus pandemic, but most of the gains went to the wealthy, according to a new study.
Stimulus checks, rising stock markets and fewer spending choices led to a massive savings boom over the past year, with Americans saving about $3.7 trillion, according to a study from Oxford Economics. Yet 70% of the gain went to the wealthiest 20% of Americans, the study found.
As I discussed the other day, there are millions and millions of Americans that were in danger of being thrown out into the streets once the eviction moratorium ended, but now Joe Biden has decided to come to the rescue…
President Joe Biden's administration Tuesday issued a targeted moratorium on evictions in areas hardest hit by COVID-19, replacing a nationwide evictions freeze that expired Saturday despite legal concerns about doing so unilaterally.
The new action, in effect for 60 days, bans evictions in counties with high rates of COVID-19 transmission, reflecting where the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends vaccinated residents mask indoors and in public settings.
But is this legal?
After all, we have already seen several courts rule on this, and they have said that it isn't.
Well, just like any good career politician, Biden isn't going to let a little thing like "legality" stand in the way…
The president said he sought input from constitutional scholars to determine whether the CDC had the legal authority to issue a new evictions action but it was unclear whether it could pass constitutional muster.
"There are several key scholars who think that it may, and it's worth the effort," Biden said.
Biden says that even if the courts strike this new moratorium down, it will buy some time for his administration to get aid money to those that need it.
Needless to say, what Biden has decided to do has absolutely horrified those that still actually have respect for the U.S. Constitution. Here is an excerpt from Jonathan Turley's reaction…
…What was astonishing is that Biden acknowledged that it is still likely unconstitutional but that they could tie it up in courts to get the money out in the interim…
Sadly, Biden's approach is typical of how most Americans deal with things.
Most of us do whatever we feel like doing in the moment, and we don't really give too much consideration to the long-term consequences.
Let us party today, because tomorrow is not guaranteed for any of us!
Of course the truth is that "tomorrow" always arrives eventually, and our "tomorrow" is going to be more painful than most people would dare to imagine.
But for the moment, the consequences of our actions have not caught up with us quite yet, and so it is still party time.
Most Americans fully intend to enjoy this party for as long as they possibly can, but at this point time is not on our side.
More Cowbell! Federal Reserve Officials Decide That More Inflation Is The Answer
July 28, 2021 July 28, 2021 by Michael
Someone please make the madness stop. Many years ago, when Saturday Night Live was still actually funny, comedian Will Ferrell starred in a skit that was entitled "More Cowbell". To this day, it remains one of the most famous skits in comedy history, and that is because it was absolutely hilarious. If you have never seen it, you can find it right here. Unfortunately for all of us, the Federal Reserve is now doing their own version of "More Cowbell", but it isn't funny at all. At this point, Fed officials sound like a broken record, because month after month they just keep telling us that the answer to our growing economic problems is even more inflation. They have completely gone off the deep end, but since most Americans are illiterate when it comes to economics hardly anyone is objecting.
Earlier today, I received an alarming email from one of my readers. This particular reader was quite alarmed that the price of her favorite juice just went up three dollars, and I would have loved to tell her that these price increases are just "temporary" and that everything will go back to normal soon.
But I couldn't do that, because that isn't the truth.
On Wednesday, Fed officials once again voted to continue flooding the financial system with giant mountains of fresh cash…
The Federal Reserve open market committee has voted unanimously to continue the central bank's easy money policies, again dismissing soaring inflation as 'transitory' and saying COVID-19 still poses risks to the economy.
The 11-member committee voted on Wednesday to keep the federal funds rate near zero and continue flooding the market with money through massive bond purchases 'until substantial further progress' is made on boosting employment.
"$120 billion a month in bond purchases" may sound boring to most Americans, but if people really understood what this was doing to our standard of living they would be protesting in the streets tomorrow morning.
On average, the Federal Reserve is pumping more than a billion dollars into our financial system every single hour.
This sort of thing is only supposed to be done during a major emergency. The very first time that "quantitative easing" was used on a large scale was during the last financial crisis, and now it has basically become something that the Fed just does all the time.
As I discussed yesterday, the size of the Fed balance sheet has roughly doubled during this pandemic. Of course this was going to cause inflation to spike.
On Wednesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell openly admitted that "inflation could turn out to be higher and more persistent than we expected".
Ya think?
But Powell also continued to insist that in the long-term inflation would go back down to 2 percent…
Indicators of long-term inflation expectations appear broadly consistent with our longer-run inflation goal of 2%. If we saw signs that the path of inflation or longer-term inflation expectations were moving materially and persistently beyond levels consistent with our goal, we'd be prepared to adjust the stance of policy.
What in the world is he smoking?
Does he actually believe that we can flood the system with trillions and trillions of fresh dollars and keep inflation down to about 2 percent at the same time?
If so, he should see a mental health professional immediately.
Right now, prices are skyrocketing all around us. Earlier today, I came across an article that discussed how farmers are hurting because the price of hay has gone up by about 20 percent…
Local prices for large bales of hay — small bales are significantly more expensive — are shaping up to be around $210 a ton, DeRuwe said, around 20% more than the average year.
Yesterday, I discussed the fact that home prices are up 23 percent over the past year.
Apparently home prices are not yet high enough, because Fed officials want to flood the system with even more money.
Used car prices are up more than 45 percent over the past year. In many cases, used cars are now selling for more than they were when they were brand new.
What we are now witnessing is completely and utterly insane, but the Fed is not the only one to blame.
Our politicians in Washington have been spending money like mad, and now another gigantic spending package is being discussed.
Fortunately, there is at least one Democrat in the Senate that thinks that Joe Biden's 3.5 trillion dollar infrastructure package is just too big…
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona on Wednesday came out in opposition to Democrats' $3.5 trillion spending blueprint, virtually ensuring her party would be forced to make substantial cuts to get her on board.
In a statement to The Arizona Republic, the moderate Democrat said while she supported efforts to bolster the country's economic competitiveness in an infrastructure plan, she believed the bill was too large.
In the end, we may see a package that is only about a trillion dollars in size.
But that is still utter madness.
Since the start of the pandemic, we have increased the size of our national debt by five trillion dollars, and now our politicians in Washington want to borrow and spend more giant mountains of money.
Earlier today, I came across an article about a "two-headed snake"…
An incredible video captures the moment a two-headed snake called Ben and Jerry devours two mice in each of is fanged mouths.
Reptile enthusiast Brian Barczyk shared the clip to his Instagram account, which shows each of the heads slowly chomping down on a pair of dead mice.
The two-headed reptile is the result of a phenomenon known as bicephaly, which occurs from the incomplete splitting of an embryo.
When I read that, I immediately thought about our current situation.
These days, the Federal Reserve and our politicians in Washington have become a "two-headed snake" that is relentlessly devouring our financial future.
If we stay on the path that we are on, there is no future for our country.
But it has become obvious that our leaders are not going to change.
Every time a new crisis erupts, their "solution" will be to create, borrow and spend even more money.
This "More Cowbell" approach to managing the economy is literally insane, but there will be no turning back now.
Let's Compare The U.S. Economy Before The Pandemic To The U.S. Economy Today
Throughout the first half of 2021, there was a tremendous amount of optimism about the U.S. economy. Many believed that the pandemic would soon be behind us and that a new era of great prosperity would soon be upon us. But now the optimism that we witnessed is fading as Americans become increasingly concerned about inflation, shortages and rising debt levels. Our leaders created, borrowed and spent trillions upon trillions of dollars in a desperate attempt to get our economy back on track, and it turns out that all of that money didn't really have the enormous impact that they had hoped. On the other hand, inflation is now beginning to spiral out of control, and many are comparing this time in our history to the Jimmy Carter era of the 1970s.
In this article, I would like to compare the state of the economy today to the state of the economy just before the pandemic started sweeping across the country.
As you will see, it appears that a tremendous amount of long-term damage has been done.
Let's start by talking about employment. Just before the pandemic hit, 152 million Americans were employed, but today only 145 million Americans are currently employed.
Many economists are telling us that it will probably take a number of years for employment to return to pre-pandemic levels, but that also assumes that we will not be facing another major economic downturn in the near future.
Needless to say, I do not share that rosy assessment.
The number of Americans that are considered to be "not in the labor force" has also not returned to pre-pandemic levels.
Just before the pandemic, 95 million Americans were considered to be "not in the labor force", but now that number is up to more than 100 million.
We are being told that unemployment is "low" in this country even though more than 100 million people do not have jobs right now.
But according to John Williams of shadowstats.com, if honest numbers were being used the unemployment rate would currently be above 25 percent.
The good news is that at least we are not at 35 percent like we were during the peak of the pandemic.
Our politicians realized that things were really, really bad in 2020, and so they started spending money at a rate that we have never seen before.
All of this spending pushed our national debt from 23 trillion dollars prior to the pandemic to more than 28 trillion dollars today.
This is complete and utter insanity, but at least our politicians have been more restrained than the Federal Reserve has been.
During this pandemic, the size of the Fed balance sheet has nearly doubled. It was sitting at about four trillion dollars just before the pandemic, and it has grown to more than eight trillion dollars today.
"Economic malpractice" is way too soft a term to describe what the Fed has been doing.
If the American people truly understood the Fed and what it has been doing to our currency, there would be wild protests in the streets tomorrow morning.
Collectively, our politicians and the Federal Reserve have pushed the size of our money supply to dizzying heights. Just before the pandemic, M2 was sitting at about 15 trillion dollars, and now it has crossed the 20 trillion dollar threshold.
Anyone that believed that we could do this without causing rip-roaring inflation was just being delusional.
Just look at what has been happening to home prices. They have been rising at the fastest pace ever recorded, and families all over America are feeling the pain.
A few days ago, I published an article in which I explained that home prices are 23 percent higher than they were at this time one year ago…
The median price for an existing home in June hit an all-time high of $363,300, up 23% over last year. That marks 112 straight months of year-over-year gains.
Needless to say, the vast majority of Americans have not had their paychecks increase by 23 percent over the past year.
The gap between the ultra-wealthy and the rest of us just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and the middle class is shrinking a little bit more with each passing month.
These days, we also have widespread shortages to deal with. Prior to the pandemic, I don't remember ever hearing about any major shortages, but now they are all around us.
In particular, the chip shortage has been incredibly painful for a lot of Americans, and the CEO of Intel is now telling us that it could last into 2023…
One of the leading voices in the semiconductor industry sees the chip-supply problems stretching as far as 2023.
It could take one or two years to get back to a reasonable supply-and-demand balance in the semiconductor industry, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal after the company posted second-quarter earnings on Thursday. "We have a long way to go yet," he said. "It just takes a long time to build [manufacturing] capacity."
At first, a lot of Americans believed our leaders when they were told that wonderful days were just around the corner.
But now reality is starting to set in.
Faith in "the recovery" is fading, and at this point more than half of all Americans believe that the economy is in poor shape…
Fewer than half of Americans, 45 percent, judge the economy to be in good shape, while 54 percent say it's in poor shape, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Views are similar to what they were in AP-NORC polls in June and in March, despite increases in vaccinations and the flow of aid from Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package.
If most Americans are dissatisfied with the economy today, how will they be feeling if economic conditions are even worse six months from now?
In my opinion, we should be very thankful that economic conditions have been relatively stable in recent months, because the long-term outlook for our economy is not good at all.
Our leaders are literally in the process of committing national financial suicide, and the whole world will be affected since we produce the reserve currency that the entire planet depends upon.
So enjoy these relatively good times while you still can, because eventually they will be gone for good.
Elderly Americans Are Increasingly Being Targeted As Violent Crime Soars To Crazy Levels In Major U.S. Cities
Those that prey on elderly people just because they are easy targets should be deeply ashamed of themselves. Unfortunately, we live at a time when violent criminals are roaming the streets of our major cities in packs, and many of them seem to have no sense of honor at all. Women are being attacked, children are being attacked, and those that are advanced in age are often specifically targeted. Reading that may make your blood boil, but they don't care what you think. Many of these criminals don't have respect for anyone or anything, and a lot of them have hearts that are as cold as ice.
Let me give you an example of what I am talking about. A 68-year-old man in Brooklyn was beaten to a pulp and had his skull stomped on just because his much younger attacker wanted to rob him…
A Brooklyn man has been seen pummeling a 68-year-old victim and stomping on his skull, before going through his pocket as he lay unconscious on the street in a shocking daylight, as the New York City crime wave continues.
In a disturbing video released by the New York Police Department, shows a black man wearing a hoodie and a blue disposable face mask launching the vicious attack at 9am on Saturday morning in the East New York neighborhood.
Even more disgusting is when a group of criminals decides to gang up and physically attack an elderly victim. Last week, a 61-year-old woman in Harlem was violently assaulted by one man and three women…
The incident occurred at about 8:18 p.m. local time on Tuesday in Harlem at the corner of 8th Avenue and West 151st Street, police said. The altercation began with a verbal disagreement that police said the group started with the 61-year-old woman as she was standing at the corner. The incident quickly escalated and became physical.
The group, composed of three women and one man, began kicking and punching the victim, who was tackled to the sidewalk by one of the attackers. The individual who fell to the ground with the victim, a woman seen in the video wearing a yellow T-shirt and light blue pants, continued striking her as the others beat her while standing.
When I was growing up, it was very rare for women to commit violent crimes.
But since then something has dramatically changed in our society, because now we often see gangs of crazed young women commit violent crimes collectively.
And sometimes the packs of violent criminals are so large that they can't be accurately counted. On Friday, a 44-year-old off-duty New York City firefighter was viciously attacked by "at least 100 kids"…
The 44-year-old victim said he was strolling with his 3-year-old Labradoodle Dylan in Juniper Valley Park in Middle Village at around 9:55 p.m. Friday when he was suddenly targeted by the mob.
"There were at least 100 kids … I was walking my dog. They just picked me out and approached me," the still-shaken victim, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Post Saturday afternoon.
Thankfully an ambulance was nearby, because otherwise he may not have survived that encounter…
The victim continued: "They didn't care at all. The kids were going crazy. They were as high as a kite. I got hit, turned around, that's when the kids started coming at me …. Then I was on the floor, holding one kid and an ambulance pulled up. They were waiting by the park … If they weren't there I would have been in much worse condition."
This is what our country has become.
Large packs of violent criminals are just randomly assaulting people in the streets.
The police are supposed to protect us, but way too often they are getting attacked too…
Aurora police said the officer was struck repeatedly in the head and body during the June 21 attack before he was strangled by a female passenger to the point where the officer lost the "ability to breathe."
Following an investigation into the incident, the three suspects, Jennifer Taylor, 24, of Chicago; Sheba Taylor, 26, of Aurora; and Paul Sherrod, 28, of Aurora, were indicted by a grand jury last week and charged with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery, and aggravated assault, police said.
The numbers that are coming in from all over the nation are simply appalling.
In Philadelphia, the murder rate is up 35 percent so far this year, and at this point Philly has "the highest murder rate in the country per capita of the country's 10 largest cities"…
As of Thursday, the number of homicide victims in Philadelphia this year is up to at least 314 people. That's up 35% from this time last year.
Philadelphia now has the highest murder rate in the country per capita of the country's 10 largest cities.
It was going to take a special effort to top Chicago, but Philly has done it.
Of course violence is surging everywhere. According to Zero Hedge, the number of mass shootings in this country so far this year is up by a total of 21 percent…
To date, the number of mass shootings in the U.S. is 21% higher than the same period in 2020 (Jan.1 – July 20), which is 30% higher than the previous high, according to nonprofit research group Gun Violence Archive (GVA).
GVA's data so far shows the U.S. has recorded 375 mass shootings in 41 different states (and Washington D.C.) in the first 200 days of 2021. Putting that in perspective, the country had 310 by this date last year.
Most mass shootings barely make a blip in the news before the next one comes along.
We are now known around the globe for the blood that runs in our streets, and our leaders seem powerless to do anything about it.
Of course our problems extend well beyond violent criminals. As Business Insider recently noted, it seems like a significant portion of the general population is in a constant state of anger these days…
Violence on airplanes is spiking. Retail and fast-food workers say they're being harassed and assaulted. And small business owners report experiencing frustrated customers whose patience has evaporated.
Have you noticed this too?
I definitely have.
This is one of the reasons why I just like to stay up in the mountains most of the time.
According to a psychiatrist from Harvard Medical School, the pressure that has been building up in our society is causing a lot of people to finally crack…
All of this behavior is the result of a year and a half of fear and anxiety, according to Luana Marques, an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
"We've been skating thin ice in the past year, and if the weight [becomes] too much, the ice cracks. I think that's what we're seeing," she said.
If things are this bad already, what is our society going to look like when economic conditions become extremely harsh for an extended period of time?
For a couple of months after Biden was inaugurated, most Americans were feeling pretty good about the future, but now that is changing in a major way.
In fact, ABC News discovered that the percentage of Americans that are feeling pessimistic about the direction of the country rose by nearly 20 points since their last poll…
A majority — 55% — of the public say they are pessimistic about the direction of the country, a marked change from the roughly one-third (36%) that said the same in an ABC News/Ipsos poll published May 2. In the early May survey, Americans were more optimistic than pessimistic by a 28-percentage point margin. Optimism is now under water by 10 points. Looking ahead to the next 12 months, fewer than half — 45% — now report feeling optimistic about the way things are going, a significant drop from about two-thirds (64%) in the May poll.
Of course the truth is that Americans should be feeling pessimistic, because things are only going to go downhill from here.
So if you think that the violence in our major cities is bad now, just wait, because much worse is coming.
Inflation Shock: Are You Ready To Start Paying "$40 Or $50" For A Hamburger?
After decades of living in a relatively low inflation environment, it is hard for most Americans to believe that things have gotten so bad so quickly. In fact, even though I write about this stuff almost every day, it is hard for me to believe it. We are watching prices spiral out of control all over the nation, and we know precisely who is to blame. During the pandemic, our politicians in Washington have been borrowing and spending money at an unprecedented rate, and this has pushed our national debt up to 28 trillion dollars. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has been pumping trillions of fresh dollars into our financial system, and this has resulted in the Fed balance sheet nearly doubling over the course of this pandemic. I have used the term "economic malpractice" to describe what our leaders are doing, but it is actually far worse than that. They are literally in the process of destroying our economy, and even after so many experts have pointed out their colossal errors they still won't stop. They just keep creating more money, and now we have a horrific inflation crisis on our hands.
Following Joe Biden's town hall on Wednesday night, the Daily Mail spoke to a restaurant manager in Manhattan named John Stratidis. According to Stratidis, rising costs and rising wages will mean that consumers will have to pay more for their meals. In fact, he is warning that New Yorkers could end up "paying $40 or $50 for a hamburger"…
'When minimum wage goes up, who do you think is going to pay for that? The customer. Everything is going to go up just to be able to stay in business. When we give more money, the prices go up and when the prices go up who's going to pay for that?
'They're going to be crying about it, and saying "it's too expensive". That's inflation. You're going to be walking in somewhere to eat something and paying $40 or $50 for a hamburger.'
Obviously, we aren't at that point yet.
But if we stay on the path that we are currently on, we will eventually get there.
In some tourist traps, prices for burgers are already completely insane. For example, one Las Vegas restaurant is now selling a burger that costs $100…
Located on the casino floor and a few steps from the poker lounge, Posh Burger offers seven burger choices, ranging from a $12 traditional hamburger to a $23 half-pound "super deluxe" waygyu steak burger, plus the option of a $16 vegetarian Impossible burger.
For diners looking to play out their high roller fantasies, an eye-catching $100 menu highlight is dubbed the Posh Royale Burger and created with wagyu beef, truffle, foie gras, gold dust, a garnish of lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and the secret Posh sauce.
That is crazy, but that isn't even the most expensive burger around.
In the Netherlands, one luxury chef is actually selling a burger for $6,000.
I still remember the days when you could get a nice, thick fancy burger with all of the fixings for less than a dollar.
Sadly, those days are long gone, and food prices are now rising at a frightening pace all over the country.
The other day, billionaire John Catsimatidis made headlines when he warned that there would be a double digit spike in food prices "by October first"…
Catsimatidis said that he expects a 10 to 14% spike in food prices by October first.
FOX Business' Ashley Webster asked Catsimatidis if he is going to be forced to pass the extra costs onto consumers.
"You have to pass it on otherwise you're not doing your duty to guard your country, your employees and your company," he responded.
But at least housing is still affordable, right?
Actually, CNN is reporting that home prices are 23 percent higher than they were at the same time a year ago…
23 percent in one year!
Has your paycheck gone up by 23 percent over the past year?
If not, you are rapidly losing ground.
Renters are not faring much better. In some of the hottest rental markets around the country, rents have risen by more than 20 percent. The following example comes from the New York Times…
Kaitlin Cindrich is facing a $200 monthly increase in rent this August if she and her husband can renew their apartment lease in Provo, Utah. That 25 percent jump is not something she expected, and the 21-year-old fears she may have to skip doctor appointments for her autoimmune disease to keep up with the payments.
Still, she acknowledges there isn't much choice but to pay more. "We are hoping to stay because everything is so expensive right now that I would be paying the same whether I'm here or somewhere else," Ms. Cindrich said.
Some markets are seeing more moderate increases, but overall we have seen rental prices increase by 9.2 percent up to this point in 2021…
Data from Apartment List, a listing site, confirms the trend visible in the Zillow numbers: So far in 2021, rental prices nationally have grown 9.2 percent, compared with the 2 to 3 percent that is typical from January to June. According to the most recent data available, prices were higher than economists at Apartment List would have expected had prepandemic trends persisted.
So what will the rest of 2021 look like?
Will rental prices have risen by a total of 15 or 20 percent by the time the year is through?
The Biden administration continues to insist that inflation is "low", but hardly anyone believes them.
In fact, one recent survey found that 70 percent of Americans are "extremely or very concerned" about inflation…
A new internal poll from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) shows growing concerns about rising inflation in a number of battleground districts ahead of 2022.
Seventy percent of respondents said they were either "extremely or very concerned" about rising prices and the rising costs of living, according to the polling memo released Thursday. Additionally, 60 percent of voters said they disapproved of President Biden's handling of rising prices and the higher cost of living. On top of that, the poll found that 42 percent of people polled were more likely to blame Biden and congressional Democrats for rising prices. Ten percent said they were more likely to blame congressional Republicans.
If you are in the 30 percent that is not very concerned about inflation, you should be, because it is going to absolutely suck the life out of your standard of living.
Meanwhile, more shortages continue to pop up throughout our economy.
Earlier today, I was stunned to learn that a shortage of back-to-school supplies is now being projected…
Back-to-school shopping is always a nightmare. This year, expect it to be even worse.
While parents may be used to encountering shortages of items like sneakers, backpacks and gadgets later in the season -— which typically lasts from mid-July through the end of August — products are expected to be in tight supply even earlier. That means shoppers could find themselves picking over the handful of ugly backpacks and bento lunch boxes with missing pieces left at the store as early as this month.
In the new book that I just released, I have an entire chapter about hyperinflation and shortages. Everyone could see this coming from a mile away, but our leaders just couldn't help themselves.
Whenever a major crisis comes along, their only answer is to create, borrow and spend more money.
Many are comparing this to the Jimmy Carter era of the 1970s, but the truth is that what we are facing is much worse than that.
We are literally witnessing our nation commit slow-motion economic suicide, and it is absolutely horrifying to watch.

I have a bunch of old vintage books and one of my plans when I first started blogging was to do a post every now and then sharing one of my cherished vintage books. Then I thought there might be other book bloggers out there that have some vintage books, heirlooms, or maybe some old books from childhood that they might want to share. I decided to start a meme titled 'Shabby Sunday' for those who would like to participate and share some of their old vintage books. Do you have some shabby books you'd like to share? If so, please feel free to participate as anyone can join. Feel free to use the picture I've provided if you'd like to. If you decide to do this meme, please consider linking back to me so that I can see the book you're sharing.

Review of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre
I have always been fascinated by the theme of different adaptations of 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' and was looking forward to this being brought to life on stage with the iconic Phil Daniels playing both protagonists.
In Act 1, the tension in the audience was so quiet you could hear a pin drop! This was no doubt intentional by the very talented director Kate Saxon.
This adaptation by David Edgar has a few tweaks to the original, mainly the addition of two women very key to the plot, Jekyll's sister Katherine and maid Annie.
Perhaps the most sinister addition though is singer Rosie Abraham whose haunting vocals quite literally bridged the gap cleverly between set changes whilst keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.
A lot of thought has clearly been put into the lighting,costumes and props. This production doesn't particularly rely on the special effects you would usually associate with Jekyll turning into Hyde, although it is very clear to the audience from Phil Daniels' changes in stance and Scottish dialect which side he is depicting.
The theme of good versus evil is explored in a very intelligent, refreshing way and Phil Daniels' impressive performances are enhanced by many other fine actors including Ben Jones as Dr Lanyon/Carew and Sam Cox as dry butler Poole. There are additional subplots with interesting twists and turns, particularly in Act 2.
Although the show felt it had been brought up to date in some ways, it still had the feel of a timeless classic and it was refreshing to be surrounded by a mesmerized audience which added to the eerie atmosphere.
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is on at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre until Saturday 5th May 2018 https://www.grandtheatre.co.uk/whats-on/drama/dr-jekyll-and-mr-hyde

Five Exotic Supercars on Ebay for Less Than $50,000
Abraham Carson
The Maserati
1. Maserati Granturismo
Our first car is an exclusive product of Italy and might just be the perfect mix of luxury, sophistication, and raw power. The Granturismo comes with a 4.2 or 4.7 liter, V8 power plant engine that produces just over 400 horsepower. This power is enough to propel the luxury coupe from 0 to 60 in just under 4.5 seconds, a time which is actually fairly slow in the world of supercars. But this number is nonetheless impressive considering that the Granturismo weighs over 4,000 pounds.
The car is not designed for pure speed but is rather a luxurious Grand Touring coupe that can comfortably seat 4. Still, you'll be able to easily outpace almost any other car on the road and most definitely look more stylish while doing so. The Maserati Granturismo is a stunning mix of elegance and aggressiveness, and for under $50,000, it's hard to beat.
2009 Model with 20,000 miles: $49,999
2008 Granturismo with 24,000 miles: $44,000
2009 with 18,000 miles: $48,000
2. Aston Martin DB9
The second car on our list is pulled straight from a James Bond film and evokes images of a billionaire English playboy zooming through the countryside after a night out. The British-made luxury car packs a huge 12-cylinder engine unleashing 450 horsepower and a thunderous exhaust note. The engine, of course, is the main draw of the car as V-12s have projected an air of both luxury and exclusivity. Fifty thousand dollars on eBay can buy you a whole lot of both as the sum is enough to buy a DB9 from around 2005 to 2009. Convertible models are also available if that's your cup of tea!
2006 Convertible with 29,000 miles: $46,000
2007 with 35,000 miles: $49,999 or best offer
3. Lotus Elise
The Lotus Elise
The next car on our list is a far cry from the power and luxury of a Maserati Granturismo. The Lotus Elise is the purist of driver's cars with a lightweight, carbon fiber body and a standard six-speed manual transmission. The tiny 1.8 Liter 4 cylinder engine is mounted in the middle of the car to achieve a nearly perfect weight distribution, and although it produces only around 200 horsepower, it is enough to propel the car from 0 to 60 in only 4.6 seconds.
But as impressive as this may be, the Elise is not made to impress in a straight line. The French-made Elise weighs in at a scant 2,100 pounds, which is around half of a Granturismo or Aston Martin DB9. The feather-light weight, plus a six-speed manual transmission and incredible handling, makes the Elise a dream to drive both on a track and on windy roads. The Lotus Elite is regarded among car enthusiasts as one of the best-handling cars of all time as much for what it doesn't have as what it does. In a world of heavy, fancy sports cars with lots of driver aids and fancy gadgets, the minimalist Lotus stands out. It has everything a track car should have and nothing it shouldn't, making it a fantastic purist driver's car.
2005 Elise with 34,000 miles: $35,000
4. Porsche 911
Next on our list is a precision-crafted product of a German brand with a long history of high-performance sports cars. The Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic cars in history, renowned for its blend of power, handling, luxury, and everyday driveability. One of the best things about the 911 is the wide range of variations that Porsche offers. There are sportier models, such as the 4S or Carrera, or vehicles with turbo for added power. Many of these models fall well under 50k in the used market and are great values for the price.
2010 Porsche 911 Carrera S, 39,000 miles: $46,000
2008 911 4S with 46,000 miles: $30,000
5. Dodge Viper
The last car on our list may technically be an American-made car, but you'd never know it from its looks. The Dodge Viper is included in this list because of its beautiful, exotic looks, as well as its amazing power and performance. The Viper is also relatively rare and probably the least recognizable car on this list, which makes it a real head-turner.
The Viper is one mean-looking sports car, with a look that is somewhere between American muscle and Italian Exotic. It's far from being just good-looking, though, with a massive 8.4-liter V8 engine that delivers 600 horsepower to the rear wheels. This massive power plant can shoot the Viper from 0 to 60 in a blazing quick 3 seconds, and, when revved, produces one of the most aggressive exhaust notes of any car. All this power and a lack of many driver aids have given the Viper a reputation as a dangerous car in the hands of an inexperienced driver, so you'd better know what you're doing before you climb behind the wheel. Used models sell for well under the 50k mark on eBay and can even be had for closer to $20,000. So tell me, would you rather have a new Toyota Camry or an 8-year-old 600-horsepower monster?
2003 Viper with 21,000 miles: $32,000

The MTi2 Vesa Mount studs are metric, M4 threads. Screw length is determined by thickness of mount. No more than 7mm (about 1/4") should extend past the mount into the MTi2. Measure the thickness of your mount and add 6-7mm to arrive at the correct screw length.
Using screws that are too long will unseat the studs, so please be careful!

If you've ever dreamed of being able to live in a tropical paradise while supporting yourself with your work, opportunities abound in Costa Rica. In July 2022, Costa Rica joined the growing list of countries that have formal digital nomad visa programs.
Costa Rica's digital nomad visa was approved and went live in July 2022.
Whether your dream is to work from the beach in Nosara, the mountains of Monteverde, or a coworking space in the middle of San José, Costa Rica is becoming even more welcoming to remote workers than it already has been in recent times.
What is a digital nomad visa?
A digital nomad visa is a relatively new category of residence permit designed for remote workers, self-employed people, and freelancers who want to stay and legally work in a foreign country. In the wake of the covid pandemic, many countries, like Costa Rica, decided that welcoming workers and not just tourists to stay for a long time in the country was a good strategy.
Tourist visas are visas that usually allow people to stay somewhere for a short time. Costa Rica tourists must have a return ticket and can only stay in the country for 90 days. This leads to people gaming the system and doing "tourist visa runs" and working only semi-legally.
The Costa Rican Digital Nomad Visa allows you to work within the country — so long as the source of income is from outside the country. It is not a license to work for cash or a paycheck for a local Costa Rican employer.
You will need to prove the source of your income coming from outside the country.
Let's review a few key ways that Costa Rica is a great place for remote workers to take a workation, and why this visa is a big step in the right direction.
Costa Rica has Beautiful Weather
Costa Rica has beautiful weather year-round, and in this blog post, we will explain the different climates and weather on the Pacific and Caribbean sides of Costa Rica. On the Pacific side, the weather is typically dry with some humidity, while on the Caribbean side the weather is more humid and tropical.
The Pacific side of Costa Rica has two climates: dry and wet. The dry climate is found in the Guanacaste and Nicoya Peninsula regions, and this area experiences little rain between December and April. The temperatures are also cooler here, averaging in the mid-70s Fahrenheit. The wet climate is found in the Central Valley and Pacific coastal regions, and this area experiences more rain between May and November. The temperatures are warmer here, averaging in the low 80s Fahrenheit.
The Caribbean side of Costa Rica has one climate: tropical. This region experiences more rainfall than the Pacific side, with rain occurring throughout the year. The temperatures are also hotter, averaging in the mid-80s Fahrenheit.
Costa Rica has Time Zones that line up with North America
For those working with North American clients, the time zone is Central Standard Time all year — in line with the American Midwest and Canadian Prairies, and in between the common North American time zones of Pacific and Eastern on the West and East coasts.
Costa Rica has consistently warm and tropical weather between 72 and 82 °F (22 and 28 °C). Temperatures are a bit lower in November in December but there are no Northern Hemisphere-style winters this close to the Equator.
The digital nomad visa will allow you to do things like drive a car with your foreign license and be exempt from local taxes. American citizens, remember you are responsible for paying taxes on worldwide income! (This is not official tax advice, talk to an accountant!)
The cost of living is pretty cheap, relative to other countries: $2,000 USD per month for a single person is perfectly reasonable.
To take advantage of these benefits, you need to understand some of the rules. The digital nomad visa will be available for travelers for up to one year.
To be eligible for this visa, there are certain things you need to have:
You need to prove that you have a stable income of at least $3,000 USD per month (or $4,000 for a family)
You need to purchase medical insurance that covers your stay in Costa Rica.
You need to pay a filing fee to obtain the non-resident visa (amount TBD)
There is no import tax on equipment that you'd like to bring into the country to be able to work.
You can renew the visa an extra year after the first year if you like
There is no income tax payable to Costa Rica for the duration of the visa timeframe
The first step is to get together the documentation that you need to apply.
Proving that you are truly a 'digital nomad' or remote worker is the key point of the application and something you should make clear in your application.
An employment contract or self-employment incorporation documents (articles, appointment of director)
A declaration letter stating that you will be working remotely in Costa Rica
A letter from your employer if you are employed
Bank account statements that prove the income requirement as an individual or family member.
Health insurance — we recommend nomad-specific insurance like Insured Nomads
Completed visa application form
You will also be required to submit your valid passport, travel insurance, and a visa application form.
After you have successfully applied for your Costa Rica DNV, you will be notified by the authorities that your DNV has been issued.
Do I have to pay taxes on the Costa Rica digital nomad visa?
The good news here is that you do not have to pay local income taxes to the Costa Rican government while you are a digital nomad.
For Americans especially, it's important for this not to lull you into a false sense of automatic compliance with the IRS. All US citizens are still taxed on their worldwide income.
For people from other countries, you still may very much want to consult a tax accountant. If you only go away for four or five months and return to your home country, you may still be an income tax resident of your home country during that year.
For longer trips away, you may want to organize your affairs so you cease to be a tax resident of your home country. If you are looking to plan a tax-free existence in Costa Rica or any digital nomad location, look for professional advice before you assume you are in the clear and don't have income tax filing or payment obligations.
Where can I work in Costa Rica?
There are lots of great cities and towns in Costa Rica, like Nosara and Monteverde, and the infrastructure for remote work is growing in many places.
Check out our list of coworking spaces if you want to plan your trip around a convenient, easy-to-use workspace.
You can also check out the different regions of Costa Rica to get a sense of what part of this diverse country you might want to settle into — there are mountains, beaches, jungles, and much, much more!

MALTA'S LABOUR PARTY: A RACKETEER-INFLUENCED CORRUPT ORGANIZATION (RICO) OPERATING WITH IMPUNITY WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION
Ever since the early days of its radical Socialist Prime Minister, Dom Mintoff, the Government of the Republic of Malta has been influenced by the country's Labour Party. The Party, under Mintoff's iron hand, developed into a criminal organization that borrowed most of its illicit tactics from the Italian Mafia, which has had a local version of the nearby Sicilian-based entity operating within its borders since the British colonial period. The PL, as most Maltese refer to it, resembles a cult, due to the fierce loyalty its members give it, but any objective examination of its organization & operation results in the inevitable conclusion that it is truly a racketerting entity, violent and amoral; Daphne was right.
A complete list of its sins might be impossible to compose; suffice it to say that they include money laundering, drug trafficking, extortion, common-law fraud, official corruption, assassination, and many other criminal acts, which are all designed to maintain its hold on political power, to intimidate, and if necessary, eliminate, its political opponents, rival parties, and anyone else who stands in their way. It's not an accident that Malta has had the highest level of political violence, including homicide, in the European Union.
Individuals or entities that seek to reduce its power, by attacking its members, often find that their targets are "protected,' in the true Mafia meaning of the term. The Pl will go to any extremes to insulate their own members from exposure to possible criminal prosecution, Reformers who choose to oppose PL often find that they are subject to anonymous late-night telephone harassment, bogus tax claims and investigations initiated against them, rumour campaigns, damage of their property and other nasty acts.
While some may call that political violence, it often degenerates into the pure variety, brutal and painful. The PL utilises a team of low-level unemployed thugs for their dirty tricks; it has been that way since Dom Mintoff refined those crude methods to achieve, and they remain in, power, through the use of force. He adopted the Mafia way of doing business, and it continues to this day, though now drones are used to achieve the desired result, not just the billy club and fist.
Whilst the European Union's structure is all about local autonomy, if the EU doesn't step in with a massive law enforcement action, dissolve the Labour Party, and jail the leadership of this Mafia political nightmare, we fear that Malta's future is dark indeed. The Pl must go, one way or the other; the question is, who's going to do it, domestic or foreign actors.

Mortimer Smith
Mortimer Smith (1840-1899) was born in Jamestown, New York, and educated in Oberlin and Sandusky, Ohio, but he learned art at the knee of his father, Sheldon, an architect and teacher. Sheldon opened an art school in Sandusky which shared a building with the Cosmopolitan Gallery of Art; the teenaged Mortimer would have been able to see European and American works of art on display there. By 1858, Mortimer was working with his father's flourishing architectural business in Detroit, and later he received his own commissions to design buildings. Although he gained success as a painter he never gave up architecture, and his obituary cited his fame as both artist and architect. His paintings were exhibited at the Michigan State Fair as well as in galleries in the Detroit area and New York.

Airline News / Travel Events News
Qatar Airways makes waves as ITB comes to a close
Qatar Airways has participated in another successful year at ITB Berlin – the world's largest travel show – by showcasing never-been-seen-before new in-flight products.
The airline exhibited its latest suite of amenity kits and its newly-unveiled Boeing 787 Dreamliner Business and Economy Class seats, housed in a custom-designed exhibition stand, which was making its debut at ITB.
The first of 60 Boeing 787s, of which Qatar Airways is the Middle East launch customer, will join the fleet this summer.
With 14 new routes being added to Qatar Airways' international network during 2012, there was huge interest among visitors keen to learn more about the airline's global expansion and about the New Doha International Airport, set to open at the end of the year.

Much of my teaching philosophy I received from my icon–of-education father, Benjamin Bloom. He believed that there is only a very small group of people that can't learn at a high level. His work proved most can learn under the right conditions. I always look at each student as someone who can learn to make music at a professional level if they have the passion. What's given me great pride is having developed a teaching pedagogy that allows virtually anyone who puts the work in to ascend to a deeply fulfilling level. Helping students to find their own individual voice is always the ultimate goal. In jazz, individuality is critical.
True educators put the responsibility of teaching on themselves, not the students. It easy to blame the student for the laziness or incompetence of the teacher. Although it is true that students who don't do the work won't learn, it is equally true that a successful outcome will happen if you start a serious student at the correct level and then move the student linearly and incrementally, not skipping the steps that many teachers miss. Teaching at the right speed is crucial. If you're too fast you alienate, and if you're too slow you bore. When learning is fun and the student doesn't have to wait for weeks or months to feel improvement there is a strong impetus to continue.
Students from all levels of accomplishment have come to my school; beginners who want to get in on the magic of music through professionals who want to present their music at a world-class level.
founder of the Bloom school of jazz and Jazz Institute of Chicago's 2017 "jazz Educator of the Year"
David Bloom blends his famed father's theories of "mastery learning" (See Bloom's Taxonomy) with four decades of his own teaching, playing and listening experience to create a music education platform that profoundly transforms students of any instrument, genre or ability. To hear it straight from his students, see David Bloom Testimonials.
Scholarships available for those on a tight budget - contact us for details.
Friday July 13 (7:00 - 9:30 PM) - All students meet together for an opening reception and a series of "quick hit" sessions on specific topics such as listening to the masters, effective arranging techniques, and more.
Saturday, July 14 and Sunday, July 15 (time varies) - Students will be grouped into combos according to instrumentation and ability. 2 hrs. each day will be spent playing with your combo under Bloom's tutelage. 2 hrs. each day will be spent observing and critiquing another combo (optional but encouraged). Participants will record and listen to their own playing, learn how to develop captivating, layered arrangements, and elevate their ability to create meaningful musical phrases on the spot. Prior to the workshop, you will receive an email with a schedule for the weekend including your exact session time.
A selection of the following topics will be covered during the Friday evening introductory session. Pending enough interest, Bloom would come a day early to dig in further with dedicated 60 min. workshops on these focused topics. Contact us if interested.
We will make every attempt to group students by ability. Please let us know if you have a particular focus you would like to develop during the workshop.
Prerequisites - All participants should be able to play or sing major scales. Guitar and keyboard players must be able to play 7th chords.
Intended for pros, semi-pros who perform regularly in front of an audience, this session will breath new life into musicians who feel plagued with redundancy. It will cover the same material as the beginner course but with more sophisticated material such as enhanced scale colors and altered chords. Students will leave feeling enthused about exploiting the many expressive opportunities they have been missing. They will experience a much larger palate of colors to use for more varied expression and deeper audience engagement.
This format is intended for existing ensembles with an established musical rapport. It focuses on elevating the playing and listening skills of each individual musician as well as crafting a compelling group presentation. For groups who often find themselves drifting into auto-pilot, this course will miraculously transform ordinary performances into a highly dramatic journey for both the music makers and the audience. Students will learn Bloom's Laws, a highly specific set of performance rules that demand the highest level of quality. They will leave this course with both the tools and awareness to create interesting arrangements that highlight the full range of weights and timbres specific to each ensemble. Arrangements will then be assembled into a performance set that relays a musical arc rich with interest, variation and expression. This course is guaranteed to replace those same old sounds with a world-class performance. Your audience will thank you for it.
David Bloom is an American guitarist, flautist, composer/arranger, educator, author, and director. In 1975 Bloom founded the Bloom School of Jazz in Chicago where he continues to teach. Notable musicians who have attended the Bloom School include Ryan Cohan, Steve Rodby, Jon Weber, Cliff Colnot, and Rob Mazurek, with workshops from John Scofield and Mike Stern. Bloom authors jazz instruction books distributed by Hal Leonard and has produced a portfolio of original albums. Along with composing, arranging, writing, and spearheading The Bloom School of Jazz, Bloom directs documentary films about essential human values. Growing up on the south side of Chicago, Bloom is native to the Chicago jazz scene and a former student of guitarist, Buddy Guy. Bloom's father was the late educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom, who made major contributions to the classification of educational objectives and to the theory of mastery-learning. Bloom's own applications of mastery-learning have made him one of the most sought after jazz educatiors today.

Despite GM Strike ,U.S. Payrolls Grew by 128,000 in October
by Rajanshu on 11:24 PM
WASHINGTON—U.S. employers hired at a solid clip in October, the latest evidence that the economy remains firmly in growth mode.
Employment grew by a seasonally adjusted 128,000 in October and job creation the prior two months was revised higher by 95,000, the Labor Department reported Friday. Last month, private-sector employers added jobs, including in health care and hospitality. The gains more than offset the impact of a strike at General Motors plants and drop in federal government jobs related to the Census.
The unemployment rate ticked up from a 50-year low to 3.6% in October, and wage growth remained steady, up 3% from a year earlier. Friday's jobs report along with other recent economic news point to an economy that is growing at a stable but slower rate compared with 2018, despite signs of a global economic slowdown.
U.S. employers overall have added to payrolls for 109 straight months, by far the longest stretch of consistent job creation on record to 1939. Stocks climbed Friday after the October jobs figures comforted investors about U.S. growth.
Hospitable Growth :The U.S. added 128,000 jobs in October, boosted by gains in hospitality, retail and health care.
"The labor market is resilient," said Julia Pollak, economist at job-search site ZipRecuriter. "There's no doubt job growth has been slower this year, but the difference is small."
The Federal Reserve this week cut its benchmark interest rate for the third time since July in an attempt to stimulate the economy, and signaled it was done cutting rates unless it sees a significant slowdown in economic activity. After Friday's report, JPMorgan Chase and Barclays economists removed a projected fourth interest-rate cut in December from their forecast.
October's hiring was consistent with recent trends, after accounting for two anomalies last month.
Employment in auto manufacturing fell by 41,600 "reflecting strike activity," according to the Labor Department. The 40-day GM strike ended last week, but the government didn't count those workers as on payrolls last month because they were on picket lines the week of the employer survey. The federal government shed 17,000 jobs because many temporary workers completed their jobs for the 2020 census. Census is planning to add a half-million temporary jobs next year.
Still, job creation has cooled this year, though it is consistent with an economy that has settled back to a 2% growth rate from one expanding last year at about 3%. Employers have added an average 167,000 jobs to payrolls each month this year. That is a slowdown from the 223,000 jobs added each month, on average, last year, and on pace to be the worst year for job creation since 2010.'
Job growth remains strong in areas of the economy that serve U.S. consumers and are generally shielded for global trends and trade disputes.
The health-care and social-services sector added 34,200 jobs in October, business services added 22,000 and hospitality, including restaurants, added 61,000.
With the unemployment rate low and the economy in a decadelong expansion, diners are as hungry as ever for tacos, said Michael Mabry, chief development officer as Fuzzy's Taco Shops, a Fort Worth, Texas, chain of 150 restaurants in 17 states. The company is planning to add between 15 and 20 locations by the end of next year, an expansion that would create several hundred new jobs, Mr. Mabry said.
"The industry itself is stable and our company is having some pretty good months, so it's stacking up to be a pretty good year," he said. Mr. Mabry said finding and retaining workers can be challenging. The firm's restaurants are trying to become more efficient by redesigning kitchens to reduce the number of prep cooks and combining bartender and cashier jobs during slower periods of the day, he added.
Some U.S. employers are acting cautiously.
Melissa Ball, owner of Ball Office Products, isn't cutting staff, but she also isn't aiming to add workers to her 30-person company in Richmond, Va.
"We have a good sense of comfort right now but not a lot of long-term security," she said. Tariffs led to higher prices for some products, she said. But more generally, Ms. Ball said she is preparing for a slowdown after some strong years. "I'm not going to hire someone that I don't feel really confident about their employment prospects with us for a long time."
The unemployment rate last month rose in part because more Americans joined the labor force, a positive sign. The rate, determined by a separate survey of households, was less affected by the GM strike because GM workers would likely have been counted as employed but not reporting due to a labor dispute. The two surveys use different definitions to count employment.
The share of Americans working or searching for work last month rose to 63.3% from 63.2% in September. The rate rose last month to the highest level since August 2013, hinting the labor market is drawing some Americans off the sidelines. Participation among those in their prime working years, between 25 and 54, touched a 10-year high.
A broader measure of unemployment and underemployment—which includes those too discouraged to look for work, plus Americans stuck in part-time jobs but who want to work full-time—rose to 7.0% in October from 6.9% in September.
Wage growth has largely plateaued despite a low unemployment rate, suggesting workers are in short supply. Average hourly earnings for private-sector workers increased 6 cents to $28.18 an hour.
Wages last year accelerated to grow at better than a 3% rate from a year earlier for the first time in a decade. But since peaking at a 3.4% increase in February, pay increases have eased somewhat. That suggests while businesses have job openings, many businesses are reluctant to boost wages enough to poach workers from competitors.

Південно-Західна рівнина — рівнина у Криму, розташована на південному заході Керченського півострова і півдні Ак-Монайського перешийка . Обмежена на півночі напів дугою невисокого Парпацького гребеня, на півдні виходить до узбережжя Феодосійської затоки Чорного моря .

Географія
Являє собою малозаселений горбистий степ, малопридатний для рослинництва . Східну частину рівнини займає морський полігон Повітряно-космічних сил Росії «Чауда» . Рівниною протікає кілька маловодних річок (Піщана, Крива, Найманська, Баш-Киргиз) і пролягає безліч неглибоких балок .

Геологія
Південно-Західна рівнина — найдавніша частина Керченського півострова, утворена легко розмивними майкопськими глинами, які утворюють кілька великих складок, розмитих протягом тривалого часу, через що поверхня району набула вигляду злегка нахиленої до моря горбистої рівнини. Є прямим продовженням і зануренням ядра Кримського мегантиклінорія, є широкою синкліналлю, яка розділяє Вулканівську антикліналь, що тягнеться на схід, від Владиславівської, що тягнеться на захід . В основі рівнина складена палеогеновими відкладеннями, що мають потужність близько 3000 м, покрита біля поверхні третинними породами, які пов'язані зі смугою третинних порід північних передгір'їв Гірського Криму . Поширені темно-каштанові солонцюваті грунти та їх поєднання з лучно-степовими солонцями, а також чорноземи, що лежать на важких глинах, із вмістом гумусу 3,4-3,9 % .

Real bats always creep me out for some reason. I'm not scared of them, but they remind me of flying rats which I loathe.
Congrats on finishing the game.
Thanks and Congrats to all who worked on and finished the challenge. I enjoyed it more this year then last; but not because it was really any different in structure.

A New Look at an Old Address
by Sherry Fox | Sep 18, 2017 | Community, News, Westchase Today
Online Update: Westchase District's website, www.westchasedistrict.com, recently received a design makeover.
Whether you're searching for commercial real estate information, hunting for the perfect apartment or just want to know more about the area, www.westchasedistrict.com is your source for all that and more. Visited by more than 20,000 users each month, the website received a major overhaul this summer that resulted in not only a fresh new look, but usability boosts that will ensure that visitors can find what they're looking for more quickly.
Strong pillars
"The old website was working fine, but it had been four years since we last redesigned it," said Sherry Fox, Westchase District's vice president of communications. "In that time, there's been a new pope, a new president and at least two more movies with Minions in them – we thought it was time to take a fresh look at things." For expertise, Fox turned to BQR Advertising, the Westchase District-based firm behind the District's digital advertising campaigns. BQR spent a half-day with District staff reexamining what services the District provides, how those services are reflected online and what pages website users visit most.
"The good news was that Westchase District is rock solid in communicating what we call its five pillars: amenities, safety, mobility, beautification and vision," said Vicki Roy, principal with BQR. "Westchase District has a tremendous wealth of information for visitors to view and download. The challenge was in determining how to group the information in ways that are easy to find."
Condensed and simplified
One of the goals of the redesign was for users to be able to access any page within two page clicks, so Roy and her team cut the number of drop-down menu choices in half. "We don't want information to be buried so deeply in the website that users can't access it easily," Roy said. "Another goal was to limit the amount of text on each page so that users can scan pages quickly to find what they're looking for."
At a glance, users can view commercial real estate stats, residential information, area demographics, and news and events. In the top right-hand corner of every page is the icon for the FindIt Map, where users can search for bus routes, parks and trails, restaurants, hotels, banks, schools and churches. At the bottom of every page users can contact staff and visit the District's social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.
Device diversity
Of course, the website is optimized to be viewable on any sized device, from desktop and laptop computers to tablets and smartphones. "Unless you're looking at a map, you shouldn't have to do a lot of pinching and zooming with your fingers or your mouse," Fox said. "All the content you want will be there, presented in a way that's easy to find and easy to read."
Fox encouraged people to spend some time exploring the new site and to not hesitate suggesting improvements. "Even though we think it's the latest and greatest, I'm sure there's always something that can be made better," she said. "But we can't do it if we don't know about it, so if you have a suggestion please contact us with it."


FAST radio bursts (FRBs) are mysterious, milliseconds-long showers of radio waves that come from unidentified objects outside our galaxy. About 60 FRBs have been identified to date, the strangest being a lone, repeating source. Now, it is no longer alone.
In August 2018, researchers at the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME), a radio telescope in British Columbia, detected 13 more FRBs to add to the catalogue. One of them is the second FRB ever seen to repeat (Nature, doi.org/czfq, doi.org/czfs).
