The Trump and Clinton election is set to be one of the "ugliest" and "messiest" U.S. elections ever, astute gold analyst Frank Holmes warned this week. He believes this is a reason to own gold and will be one of the factors that will see a resumption of gold's bull market after the summer doldrums which we explore below.
Gold is now in the "summer doldrums" prior to the seasonally stronger period of the Autumn when gold tends to perform best – especially in the month of September (see seasonal chart below). Holmes believes the bull market will resume soon due to the very strong fundamentals including "low-to-negative bond yields around the world. (Between $11 trillion and $13 trillion worth of global sovereign debt currently carries a negative yield.)" and of course heightened geopolitical risk including in the U.S.
He writes:
"Looking more Las Vegas casino than Oval Office, the stage Donald Trump delivered his nomination acceptance speech from Thursday was all gold, from the stairs to the podium, completely befitting of his showman-like style. Whether you support or oppose Trump, it's time to face reality. This is really happening, and we should all brace ourselves for what will surely be one of America's messiest, ugliest general election seasons.
Only time will tell which candidate will be triumphant in November, but in the meantime, one of the winners might very well be gold, which has traditionally attracted investors in times of political and economic uncertainty. In the United Kingdom, which voted one month ago to leave the European Union, gold dealers are seeing "unprecedented" demand, especially from first-time buyers. Some investors are reportedly even converting 40 to 50 percent of their net worth into bullion, though that's not advisable. (I always suggest a 10 percent weighting, diversified in physical gold and gold mining stocks.) In Japan, where government bond yields have fallen below zero and faith in Abenomics is flagging, gold sales are soaring.
It's not unreasonable to expect the same here in the U.S. between now and November (and beyond)."
GoldCore have long pointed out that the summer months frequently see seasonal weakness as has been the case in recent years and since gold became a traded market in 1971. Gold and silver often see periods of weakness in the summer doldrum months of May, June and July.
Gold's traditional period of strength is from early August into the autumn and early winter. Thus, early August is generally a good time to buy after the seasonal dip.
Next week, we commence August trading and August along with September and November, are some of the best months to own gold.
Late summer, autumn and early New Year are the seasonally strong periods for the gold market due to robust physical demand internationally. This is the case especially in Asia for weddings and festivals and into year end and for Chinese New Year when voracious China stocks up on gold.
Gold's weakest months since 1975 have been June and July. Buying gold in early August has been a good trade for most of the last 40 years and especially in the last eleven years, averaging a gain of nearly 11% in just six months after the summer low.
Thackray's 2011 Investor's Guide notes that the optimal period to own gold bullion is from July 12 to October 9.
Holmes is the CEO and chief investment officer of U.S. Global Investors and is one of the better gold analysts out there. He shares our view regarding the summer being an optimal time to buy gold. Read more here.
China's currency, the yuan, has been tumbling, and yet, investors are allegedly 'unperturbed.' Are these so-called investors right to put their faith in the new openness of the People's Bank of China in managing the decline? Whilst financial journalists and the investors who read them may be 'unperturbed,' Chinese citizens are preparing for a massive devaluation in the yuan and we can see that in the metals markets. Double Down talks to Valentin Schmid of the Epoch Times about the chances for a big devaluation and about the relationship of central banking to the Communist Manifesto.
To get to the Democratic National Convention, you take the subway to the AT&T Station and walk to the Wells Fargo Center. Along the way, you'll stroll by the Comcast Xfinity Live complex, where delegates and honored guests can booze it up. You'll also see the "Cars Move America" exhibit, an actual showroom sponsored by Ford, GM, Toyota, and others. Finally, you'll reach your seat and watch Democrats explain why we have to reduce the power of big corporations in America.
Party conventions have always been collection points for big money. But many major corporations sat out last week's Republican gathering for fear of Trump contamination. There's no such reticence here in Philadelphia; in fact, it feels like they're making up for that lack of investment.
None of this is considered money toward the convention, which is being entirely privately funded for the first time. The donors who are actually paying for the festivities in Philly are anonymous. So God (and Debbie Wasserman Shultz) only knows where it all comes from. And clearly the DNC wants to keep it that way.
The DNC's host committee refuses to disclose the names despite a court order, allowing corporate benefactors to hide behind anonymity.

Gold bullion was up 1.6% and silver surged 3.7% yesterday, their second consecutive day of gains, after U.S. durable-goods orders dropped sharply, adding to speculation that Federal Reserve policy makers will maintain ultra loose monetary policies. Gold and silver consolidated on those gains in Asia and in early European trading.
2016 YTD Relative Performance
Both precious metals are set for further gains in July consolidating on the gains in the first two quarters. This is bullish from a technical, momentum and sentiment perspective.
Bookings for durable goods, goods meant to last at least three years, fell a very sharp 4 per cent in June, a bigger fall than forecast and the most since August 2014.
Gold moved higher as the Fed concluded a two-day meeting, where policy makers left interest rates unchanged claiming risks to the U.S. economy have subsided. This means there is still the possibility of very small rate increases this year. The durable goods number though shows that the U.S. recovery remains fragile at best.
Gold has climbed 26 percent this year in dollars terms and silver by 46%. Both have seen even bigger gains in most currencies and especially sterling. This is largely due to continuing ultra loose monetary policies globally and growing concerns about the financial and economic outlook.
The Fed has indicated it will hold interest rates lower for longer. Central banks have pledged even more monetary easing amid concerns over the fallout from the U.K.'s vote to leave the European Union and geopolitical risk globally. Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced plans for even more QE – 28 trillion yen ($265 billion) to help prop up the very weak Japanese economy. Read the full post here.
If you think a delusional market is healthy, it's time for a psychiatric exam.
What diagnosis would an experienced psychiatrist offer when presented with the bizarre behavior of the U.S. stock market? We assume that the wild mood swings of greed and fear are "normal" for markets devoted to short-term profit and speculation, but the stock market's disconnect from reality is far beyond mere mood swings.
The stock market thinks it's solidly on pavement, but in reality it's like a car flying off a cliff: the Wiley E. Coyote moment is just ahead. There's nothing but air beneath the stock market.
Consider the reality of PE expansion from a price-earnings (PE) of 10 at the bottom in 2009 to 18+ today, while profits are stagnant. And what is driving this expansion other than a delusional belief that profits will magically reverse and log massive gains in the second half of 2016?
If we strip out "one-time expenses" and other accounting flim-flam, profits are plummeting. How else can we characterize this disconnect between stagnant sales (look at Apple, CAT, etc.) and "profits" that are one step away from outright fraud as anything other than delusional?
As global trade, U.S. rail traffic and other non-gameable measures of economic activity stagnate or decline, how can anyone connected to reality expect sales and profits to rise sharply?
The stock market is hitting new highs for what reason? The typical answer is: more central bank stimulus is on the way, the Fed/ BoJ /Bank of China/ European Central Bank have our back, etc. etc. etc.
But the reality is obvious to all: the returns on central bank stimulus have declined to near-zero. Trillions in additional stimulus are needed to just keep the delusional markets from experiencing gravity (see car photo above).
And how about the manic mood swings from panic in February (i.e. a whiff of reality) and the euphoria of new highs in summer? If this isn't the acme of bipolar delusion, then what is?
Perhaps the greatest delusion is the confidence that this ephemeral bubble "wealth" is actual wealth that can be counted on to fund pensions and insurance claims in the future. Pity the deranged souls who actually believe that stock gains based on fraudulent claims of "profit" and delusional expectations of rising profits as the dollar strengthens and the global economy implodes are "wealth" that can be considered permanent.
The only possible diagnosis of this stock market behavior:
1. Patient (the U.S. stock market) is suffering a schizophrenic disconnect from reality.
2. Patient (the U.S. stock market) is suffering from bipolar mania that leads to delusional beliefs in delusional profits and delusional central bank omnipotence.
3. Patient is suffering from psychotic delusions of wealth, akin to the delusion that the patient is ruler of the world, galaxy, universe, central banks are all-powerful, etc.
If you think a delusional market is healthy, it's time for a psychiatric exam.

Marc Faber has told advisers to invest 25% of investment portfolios in gold bullion.
The author of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, urged investment professionals at the CFA Institute Conference in Chicago that 25 percent of a portfolio should be allocated to gold given the very significant risks facing investors today.
The Chicago Tribune reports that Faber advised that gold is a "protection from a dangerous combination of tremendous government debt and massive bond-buying by central banks globally trying to fight off recession with near-zero interest rates."
Faber said rates are so low that investors can't make money in bonds so they keep buying stocks even though the prices are very inflated. Central banks want rising stock prices to make people feel wealthy and therefore spend their money, but the end result is income inequality and investor resentment, he said.
"Faber told the investment professionals gathered in Chicago that they shouldn't be prejudiced against gold. Although the typical investment pro keeps less than 1 percent of his or her portfolio in gold, Faber suggests 25 percent. He sees it as protection from a dangerous combination of tremendous government debt and massive bond-buying by central banks globally trying to fight off recession with near-zero interest rates. Besides gold, Faber has invested in Asian real estate and some stocks and bonds."
"It's ludicrous to think that slashing rates will get people to spend." When rates are low, he says, you feel insecure as savings earn nothing. So, "you save more" according to the Chicago Tribune.
Faber told GoldCore in a webinar in 2014 how he will "never sell his gold", he buys "more every month" and he believes owning gold in vaults in Singapore "is safest."

From its inception in 2009, Bitcoin has been regarded as one of the most versatile payment methods that exist in current times. It goes a long way in solving the many problems associated with moving fiat currency around the world and in the internet age, the digital currency has the potential to be accepted as a universal form of currency.
Though skeptics have long voiced their doubts about Bitcoin ever being adopted wide enough to replace'real money', Bitcoin's 2016 performance has outperformed most asset classes to date. In fact, Bitcoin's performance since inception has been nothing but stellar.
Why did passengers remain on the Titanic even as its bow sank deeper into the ice-cold Atlantic? They believed the experts and authorities because they wanted to believe the ship was "unsinkable." And why did they want to believe the ship was "unsinkable"?
Two visceral realities fueled their misplaced faith in the ship's supposed safety:
1) The warm ship seemed so mighty, and the alternative–open lifeboats drifting in the dark cold night–seemed so vulnerable, uncomfortable and risky.
2) It was much easier to believe the experts' assurances that the ship was safe than it was to clamber into a small lifeboat and bob around the open Atlantic.
We all know which alternative turned out to be safe and which one was fatally unsafe. The apparently risky open lifeboats were the sole source of survival and the enormous, complex "unsinkable" ship sank, ending the lives of everyone who clung to the appealing fantasy that the mighty ship was too technologically advanced to sink.
We are all on a Titanic, a complex system that experts and authorities declare safe and unsinkable for all time. Our money, our government, our Social Security, our Medicare and our entire debt-based way of life is mighty and invulnerable. Those few who see the eventual need to prepare "risky" lifeboats are mocked and ridiculed.
But the status quo's bow is already sinking into the ice-cold waters of reality.The only way the status quo can support the debt-based financial system and government that funds all these vast systems is if the economy creates 10 million more "breadwinner" jobs (in David Stockman's definition, a job that earns enough to support a family of four) a decade.
These new jobs are needed to raise the additional $1 trillion per year in payroll and income taxes needed to keep the fiscal ship afloat, and to provide the household income needed to support trillions more in private-sector debt–new home mortgages, auto loans, student loans, credit card debt, etc.–that's needed to support consumption.
If the status quo can't create at least 10 million new breadwinner jobs a decade, it sinks just as surely as the Titanic, which was doomed the moment the fifth watertight compartment was ripped open by the iceberg.
And please don't tell me we can raise $1 trillion in new annual taxes by "taxing the owners of the robots," another "unsinkable" fantasy I dismantle in my books Why Our Status Quo Failed and Is Beyond Reform and A Radically Beneficial World.
Now that software and robotics are commoditized, the scarcity value of these tools and the goods they produce is plummeting. Take a look at profits in commoditized goods: they're razor-thin, and getting thinner by the day. As the cost of software/automation tools drops, they become affordable to an ever-larger pool of owners/producers, which means the competition from new owners will increase until there is no profit at all.
And exactly how do you extract $1 trillion in phantom profits from "owners of robots" who happen to be overseas? The belief in "taxing the owners of robots" is identical to the doomed souls on board the Titanic believing the ship was unsinkable.
The belief in the status quo's permanence is exactly like the belief in the Titanic's invulnerability. The systems we depend on are so vast and seem so mighty, it doesn't seem possible that they could unravel and fail. But their eventual unraveling and failure are already baked in and cannot be undone by the modest tweaks of what passes for "reform" in the status quo.
The financial realities of systemically stagnant jobs, incomes and tax revenues have already ripped a fatal gash below the waterline of the status quo. The bow is sinking but the parties on the First Class deck continue. The passengers in steerage are getting anxious because they see the cold water sloshing around the lower decks, but few on the upper decks care what mere steerage passengers are experiencing.
Unfortunately for those partying on the upper First Class decks, they are as doomed as the steerage passengers when the ship goes down.
As the supposedly risk-free status quo decays, the supposedly "risky" lifeboats– decentralized private-sector arrangements of multiple income streams derived from ownership of productive assets that are debt-free and not dependent on debt-based government funding or global corporate cartels–will be cooperating and collaborating with each other.
Those seeking lifeboats will benefit from the Mobile Creative credo: trust your network, not the corporation or the state.

We recently lost another drum icon, the great Jake Hanna. I knew him mainly from his playing with Woody Herman's big band, and with the group Supersax, but he was a beloved figure in jazz drumming history, and he will be sorely missed. Here is a 16-bar solo, written in the style of Jake's playing on a video found on the Drummerworld Web site. Note his musical phrasing and interesting solo ideas. Jake was an innovator whose playing must be included in any serious study of the history of jazz drumming. Please pursue further research and enjoy this master musician.

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."

The line is an archived one aka out of print. http://www.windhamfabrics.net/cgi-bin/fabricshop/gallery.cgi?Category=53
Since that seems to be a quilt store, I'd suggest you e-mail quilt guilds in your state if the shop no longer has stock of the fabric leftover. Maybe a quilter may have something in a stash? But expect to wait a bit….

LJWorld.com weblogs 'Hawks in the NBA
Expect more McLemore in Sacramento
If the Sacramento Kings have their way, they will find out before the season ends exactly what rookie shooting guard Ben McLemore can do for their franchise.
Both words and actions from the organization this week displayed Sacramento's interest in keeping the 21-year-old around long enough to see his full potential.
As reported by Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee, the Kings showed their belief in the rookie out of Kansas, not only by openly dispelling trade rumors (a prominent one had McLemore as part of a package to land Boston point guard Rajon Rondo), but also dealing away Marcus Thornton, who had been the team's starting shooting guard.
Thornton's former spot in the lineup is McLemore's now, and clearly management wants to see what he does with it.
The Kings (18-36), last in the Pacific Division out West, aren't going to make the playoffs. So Sacramento coach Michael Malone will be watching closely during the next couple of months:
"My main thing moving forward is Ben McLemore," Malone said before Wednesday's game. "And that's no disrespect to anybody, but we drafted Ben seventh, and it's been an up-and-down season for him at times. But with these last 29 games, there's no pressure on this team. I want us to play together, I want us to play the right way. I want us to have fun, and I also want to have a great opportunity to see Ben, Ray (McCallum), Carl (Landry) and Derrick (Williams). Especially to see what they're able to do with the last 29 games."
In McLemore's return to the starting lineup Wednesday against Golden State (he started 26 games earlier this season), he found himself in some foul trouble, only played 19 minutes and went 1-for-4 from the floor with four points and four rebounds.
In 54 games, the 6-foot-5 rookie has averaged 23.2 minutes, 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and hit 36.5% of his shots, 33.3% of his three-pointers and 78.6% of his free throws.
Blake Ellington at SactownRoyalty.com breaks down some of McLemore's issues on the floor, which have included "disappearing" for long stretches, playing passively and lacking consistency on his jumper.
Also, defense.
(Disclaimer: Steph Curry does that to lots of people.)
The rookie's next opportunity to prove he should be part of Sacramento's core for the future comes Saturday night against Boston — the game can be seen on NBATV, at 9 p.m.
For more on McLemore, listen to an interview he did with Fescoe in the Morning, on 610 Sports Radio.
McLemore's interview begins at about the 32-minute mark and he talks about adjusting to the NBA, the slam dunk contest at All-Star Weekend, hearing about trade rumors and taking the next step in his career.
Taylor reportedly done with D-League
In 'Hawks no longer in the NBA news:
Roughly a month after Brooklyn traded him and New Orleans waived him, it appears Tyshawn Taylor is through with the D-League for this season.
Taylor had signed with the Maine Red Claws, and only scored five points in his last outing on Wednesday night.
The next day, news began to pop up on Twitter about Taylor signing with a club in Puerto Rico.
In eight D-League games this season, Taylor averaged 9.6 points and 3.4 rebounds.
He averaged 3.9 points and 1.6 assists in 11.7 minutes a game for Brooklyn.

iPhone 5 to have aluminium back cover and small dock connector?
A photo that sources claim is the back of the new iPhone - possibly the iPhone 5 - has emerged on the internet and it's apparently made of aluminium.
The covers landed on the desk of iFixyouri and though it's difficult to gauge an idea of screen size, for example, it's gone into detail as to what we might be able to expect from the new iPhone based on the cover.
For example, the docking port at the bottom of the cover is far smaller and thinner than previous models. This in turn looks as though it has created more estate for bigger and therefore more-enhanced speakers.
The other key feature is that the back plate is made from one solid piece of aluminium alloy. Judging by the leaked picture, this has given the new iPhone a charcoal shade, and the same source that leaked the cover to iFixyouri says he has seen "at least two other colors (sic) for the back plate".
Whether this leak is genuine or not, only time will tell, but it's worth noting that iFixyouri have been fairly reliable in the past including being the first to reveal there would be a white version of the iPad 2.
UPDATE More pics of the new iPhone have been revealed, including one of the front cover.
No sooner had one image of the back cover to the new iPhone emerged than a host of others raise their metallic-coated heads.
The latest images show both a black and white version of the phone, with two borders at either end surrounding what we're led to believe is an aluminium body.
The smaller dock is much clearer in these pictures while the headphone jack has also been moved to sit alongside it. The gap between the rear-facing camera and the LED flash has also got bigger – perhaps to make room for a microphone for video recording.
9to5mac.com has also published a photo of what it says is the front of the new iPhone. While it speculates that it shows the new iPhone being the same width as the iPhone 4S, but taller, making room for a possible 3.999-inch display, what is clear is that the front-facing camera has been moved to the centre of the device.
Would you like to see an aluminium back cover on the next iPhone? Let us know.

The Boston Globe reports on SceneTap, which debuted last year and is used at many bars in the area…
SceneTap gathers data by collecting images from what is called a facial detection reader inside the bars. It locks in on a silhouette from the neck up and measures 14 data points on the featureless face, determining within seconds whether the subject is male or female and the person's approximate age. It's not facial recognition, like the picture-taking technology used at airports. But because SceneTap's patent application includes language about facial recognition, some critics worry it's only a matter of time before the company tries to collect more detailed information.
It can't identify individuals (yet), but that doesn't stop people from worrying. Or the government from watching. According to the article, the Federal Trade Commission established guidelines for the technology in part because of the company's patent application, which includes ideas for how to check the criminal background and income level of visitors in real time.

WHITBY, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/15/13 -- McGraw-Hill Ryerson (TSX:MHR) -
Attention: Business/Financial Editors
Three Months to December 31 ($000) (unaudited) This Year Year Ago Sales, less returns $ 18,931 $ 20,086 Other 3,130 527 Rental 182 134 -------------- -------------- Total Revenue $ 22,243 $ 20,747 Net Income 4,440 2,645 Net Income per share $ 2.22 $ 1.32 Twelve Months to December 31 ($000) (unaudited) Sales, less returns $ 72,258 $ 78,953 Other 4,283 2,496 Rental 541 583 -------------- -------------- Total Revenue $ 77,082 $ 82,032 Net Income 8,145 8,757 Net Income per share $ 4.08 $ 4.39
Annual Results
The Company's sales revenue, less returns, decreased by 8.5% in 2012, with sales of $72.3 million, compared to $79.0 million in 2011.
The Higher Education Division experienced a decrease in overall revenue of 6.4% compared to 2011, driven by a decline in sales of print partially offset by strong growth in digital solutions. Higher Education continued its industry leadership in the technology-enabled evolution of education with the success of McGraw-Hill Connect(TM), the eBook and online homework solution, and the LearnSmart Advantage(TM) suite of adaptive learning solutions. Industry-wide sales in this sector declined 2.3% according to the Canadian Publishers' Council data.(1)
The School Division's sales decreased by 9.7% compared to the previous year. The decline in revenue from the Canadian publishing program is a function of non-repeating 2011 sole source contracts and industry-wide sales declines, the result of slow release of new curriculum and funding in Ontario. Industry sales declined by 6.7% relative to 2011 (based on Canadian Education Resource Council data).(2)
Professional Division sales declined by 21.8% in 2012 compared to 2011. The decline in sales was partly the result of on-going transition to e-book sales, with lower unit revenue, and to particularly high returns in some print product categories. Digital sales again grew strongly in 2012, and are expected to continue to perform well as market demand shifts from print to digital content.
Cost of goods sold decreased to $26.8 million in 2012, from $29.5 million in 2011. Margins on sales improved as a result of a change in product mix compared to last year.
Operating expenses remained consistent at $30.2 million in 2012. There were reductions in promotion and compensation expenses that were offset by a restructuring charge of $1.1 million. This restructuring will improve the expense base of the company to better suit our growing focus on digital learning solutions.
Amortization expenses for pre-publication costs decreased to $8.5 million in 2012 compared to $9.0 million in 2011. The decrease is attributable to the delay in government curriculum revisions for the School publishing program. Depreciation expense for capital assets decreased slightly to $0.8 million from $0.9 million in 2011.
Finance income decreased by $0.1 million, driven by lower average cash balances in 2012 compared to 2011. Finance costs in 2012, consisting mainly of banking charges, increased by $0.1 million.
Net income decreased to $8.1 million from $8.8 million last year, mainly driven by the sales decrease.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $15.1 million as of December 31, 2012 from $41.9 million in 2011, which is mainly a result of the special dividend payments made during the year. Total dividend payments were $40.3 million in 2012 compared to $12.2 million in 2011. Excluding special dividends, cash and cash equivalents balances increased by $1.2 million in 2012 compared to 2011.
Q4 Results
Most of the Company's sales revenue is seasonal, based on the education industry's school terms for the School and Higher Education divisions. As a result, the Company earns a significant amount of its total sales revenue in the third and fourth quarters of each year.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, total revenue increased 7.2% compared to the prior quarter, caused mainly by one-time retroactive copyright income. Higher Education sales increased to $15.0 million from $14.9 million. School division sales decreased $0.6 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, to $2.6 million. Professional sales decreased $0.7 million from $2.0 million in 2011 as a result of the softening in consumer demand this year. Net income increased by $1.8 million in the fourth quarter compared to the corresponding quarter in 2011, mainly driven by the revenue increase.

Based on information that I have, I am estimating his birth date to be in the mid to early 1800's. Any help is very appreciated.
You didn't give a location, but I found marriage records for two people who list William HAISMAN and Ella D. STUMP (or STUMPF) as their parents, their son Wm. G. who married Harriet AIKEN in 1931 and their daughter Luella F. who married Geo. P. KNIGHT in 1930. Both marriages took place in Los Angeles, CA.

HAISMAN, John age 41 b. England, engineer
Kate age 40 b. US
John age 16
Fred age 14
Cora age 12

There's a NY marriage record for a John R. HAISMAN, age 46, to Anna YOUNG, age 31, on 5-Apr-1923 in Monroe, NY. Groom's parents are listed as John HAISMAN and Catherine TEUFEL.
There's a California marriage record for Virgil Walter DINGMAN, age 24, to Elizabeth Jean BLACK, age 23, on 21-Oct-1944 in Los Angeles, CA. It says Virgil was born in Vale, Oregon, the son of Walter DINGMAN and Flora WALTER. He was a pilot in the U.S. Army.
There's a Social Security Death Index listing for a Virgil W. DINGMAN born 11-Jan-1920, died 14-Sept-1990. His social security card was issued in California.
This is his page at findagrave:
From what I can find online, it looks like Virgil lived in Fairbanks, Alaska in the late 60s, early 70s and worked for the Federal Aviation Administration.
My first name is Lisajean. My surname is Morris-Yavner. I am female. :)
Do you have any further information about Joseph Skarda or Paul Kaye? I took a quick look online and they only Joseph Skarda I can find who flew during WWII was a Sgt, not a Lt. The name Paul Kaye is too common for me to be able to pin down without further identifying details.
I am searching for siblings of my father, Pablo Rodriguez Orta. I have never met my father's side of the family. I am now working on my genealogy and would like to meet my aunts, uncles and cousins. My grandfather's name is Eluterio Orta and grandmother's name is Irene Rodriguez. I haven't seen or heard from my father in 20 years, only know that he was living in the Los Angeles area. Also his siblings lived in the Los Angeles area as well. I would greatly appreciate any information regarding my father or his siblings.
I am tryin to find out if anyone has information on Hide Nakamura's family. They may have come with her in the 1910's or 20's to Long Beach california. They were from the Fukuoka area most likely.
Thanks you
