I think it's likely that the Glidden Hotel building was not exactly at the corner of McCadden and Hollywood, but slightly further west on Hollywood Blvd ... right on the sight of today's parking lot. IMO, the Hotel Christie's own "white part" was not a section of the old Glidden, but a 1922 imitation of it: made to harmonize with the Glidden's facade. (In 1922, the Glidden Hotel building was converted into the "annex" of the new Christie Hotel building, so it would have made sense to esthetically harmonize the two.)
Prior to 1914, the Glidden might have been owned by William B. Glidden, an early Hollywood resident (and successful Glendora citrus grower) whose massive, long-gone home was on 6065 Franklin Avenue. As late as 1920, Catalina Island had a Glidden Hotel in Avalon.

In continuous operation over the years, as the Hollywood Melrose Hotel, the Monte Cristo Apartments and finally now as the Hollywood Historic Hotel (doubles from $49.00 per night, not bad when you consider you're almost directly across the street from Paramount).

Apparently the owner operates the first floor furniture/design business and there's some gossip that the recent restoration cut a few corners. Personally I think it's a beautiful building and we're lucky someone owns it who is willing to maintain it. In the old days the first floor was occupied by several small businesses including, at the near end above at Wilton Place, a barber shop. This being two blocks from our house on Monroe Street is where my younger brother got his first store-bought haircut, by all accounts a somewhat traumatic experience.

And here it is, still going strong after nearly ninety years, still putting out kids who can swim, hit a jump shot and lie through their teeth when necessary.

One more thing about the Christie Hotel building. The facade was beautifully restored just recently ...
Before: The lower "white part" level of the building's terra cotta veneer had been ripped out or covered with stucco at some point, in a misguided attempt to 'modernize' the facade.
After: "Using detalied moldmaking techniques, [Restoration Arts] replaced the destroyed areas and restored any remaining covered details to reproduce the original facade, down to the new iron window components."
I'm up to page 284 of this INCREDIBLE thread and I just can't get enough. I was born in L.A. in '67 and raised in the San Fernando Valley. For me, there is no other place I'd rather be. I'm in love with this website I stumbled onto and blown away by all the pictures I've seen so far. I love the history of L.A. and the old buildings - some of which I actually have lived in during the 80s moving from the valley back to L.A. Currently, I work in a law firm in downtown L.A. right on Bunker Hill in California Plaza. I walk at lunch and have seen so much I've missed through the years. Now with this website - my walks have turned into history lessons. I LOVE THAT ALL OF YOU SHARE MY INTERESTS IN SOME OF THE FORGOTTEN HISTORY HERE. Special thanks to ethereal_reality, GaylordWilshire, sopas_ej and Handsome_Stranger - FABULOUS PHOTOS!! This site is THE BEST! Thank you!!

I very nearly truncated this post from gsjansen as my question/comments really only have to do with the last image of the post but the other images are so nice I thought it would be good to just leave them in. I hope this isn't a problem. I know some people are kind of sensitive about revisiting old posts. In any event, there was some discussion earlier in the thread about the suggestion by unnamed officials, around the time of Chinatown being cleared, making way for Union Station, that the current plaza is not really in its original, correct location. Someone posted a mid-nineteenth century map and indeed it did appear, at least on first blush, that the older map seemed to place the plaza west of Main Street. So now I run across this proposed grid for the downtown street realignment (last image) and I see a baffling traffic circle on Spring Street which for all the world looks like what would pass for 'a plaza' and the current Plaza (easy enough to find as the Brunswig Building is seen, placing the Pico House just across Main from it and, of course, the current Plaza would be just above that, all clearly on the east side of Main Street) doesn't appear to receive slightest acknowledgement by the proposed street realignment. What am I seeing? Am I over-thinking this? Could the Spring Street circle be just that, a traffic circle? Or are these early planners actually thinking about placing the official Plaza at the end of Spring Street?
Pershing square through the prime noir years, starting in 1930. I know there's a few reposts in here but please forgive!
Somewhere in the thirties...check out all those banana trees:
Chilling by the fountain, April 6, 1937:
Along Hill Street by all those LARY busses, January 27, 1938:
Love the noirish tree canopy...June 30, 1939:
Everyone's favorite Pershing pastime--listening to someone explain everything wrong with the world...September 9, 1939:
Another great photo with noirish undertones...December 1939:
July 4, 1942...what better way to drum up support for government bonds than put on a big show in ye olde towne square?
Or why not put some pretty gals in the Victory House, maybe Eva Gabor? Surely that'll get
the money flowing in for Uncle Sam:
Or Carole Landis, who's showing a bit more skin than she intended to!
Or how about that firecracker Carmen Miranda?
Better yet, let's parade a whole gaggle of gals on a catwalk in front of a B-25:
Hanging Hitler and Hirohito, November 25, 1942:
March 15, 1943...this plane served its time early on in the Pacific Theatre and now gets all the glory back home:
Bringing in the heavy artillery to make sure those war bonds keep selling, August 21, 1944:
Or if guns won't make you open your purse, how about a little boy? December 8, 1944:
The war didn't get him but the postwar housing crunch will: this ex-Marine and his family had no choice but to set up shanty
in the park...November 1, 1945:
Another post facto reminder of how war upends life: an amputee (who looks an awful lot like Robert Mitchum) contemplates
his future while two men take care of business...July 16, 1948:
Elsewhere in the Square, more proselytizing. This man is quoted as saying, "You're all a bunch of lousy devils ... you make me sick."
"Now listen friends, let me tell you...."
Last for now, 1949 was the year plans got underway to redo the park and build an underground garage, and with that any trace
of a noirish vibe--or a humane park for that matter--vanished. This sums it up quite nicely:
Bear with me...I'm new lol
I found one or to sites that suggested that this image came from a model that was commissioned by the L.A. Times in 1931, painstakingly constructed, and displayed at the Main Library, in connection with the 50th anniversary of the Times. An expert historian oversaw construction of the model, who I believe later relocated to the San Diego area. Below is a Times article that describes the anniversary model...it's not the story I was looking for and its width will force you to scroll, but it offers some info.
Does this ring a bell with anyone? I realize this is a pretty lame reply and wish I could offer more facts. I'll go through my files and see if I can find any details about this.
Though I've been taking a bit of a breather from posting I've thoroughly enjoyed everyone's posts the last few weeks. So much great stuff -- thanks everyone!
I don't know what took me so long, but I finally got around to visiting the fully rendered Union Station in LA Noire. It turned out to be quite fruitful in the photo department and as I was looking through them I couldn't help but hear narration accompanying them.
Please, buckle up and pour yourself a drink as I do my worst Chandler impression:
Tuesday, Novermber 20, 1947 at 10:30 AM: The phone rang again as it ever does: man down in the fountain out front of Union Station. Four shell casings is the word from Homicide. They also nabbed some
pills on his person, and that's where I--star detective on the Vice squad--make my appearance. I high-tailed it down there through the Plaza, literally. You see, when
you've got the power of a two ton Studebaker and a pointy metal badge on your side, you don't really pay much attention to little white paint marks. Or curbs.
Ferguson Alley seemed like a most expeditious choice en route from Central to Union. Oh, what's that you say? You're trying to sell your curios here? Sorry my
Chinese chum, this little siren of mine says I CAN DO WHATEVER THE HECK I WANT.
At the scene of the crime, I can't help but wonder: how did Union Station get so dirty in just eight years?
City Hall caught my eye, as it always does.
Another day, another death...and another dollar.
This footage was so gruesome that we black-and-whited the film for your safety. Christ, look at all that blood!
What did this poor sap get himself into? Getting shot in front of one of the busiest portals in the city during morning rush hour? Someone somewhere has one hell
of a motive. Time to head inside and see what I can find out.
Golly there's some nice marble in here...
You sir, surely you've heard about the death out front. What do you know about it?
Your stonewalling isn't going to help you, sir. Either you give me information or I will make your life a living hell, you understand me?
The negro gave me a decent lead, so off to the courtyard I went, looking for some garbage allegedly left behind by the dearly departed. My instincts
kicked in saying this would be a waste of time, and they were spot on: five minutes of decidedly unglamorous rummaging through a garbage bucket
turned up zilch.
So further into the bowels of Union Station I went, hoping to come across anyone who could help account for this man's actions.
Maybe that guy over there. He looks like an employee...
He suggested I check out platform 8 North. Alas, 20 minutes down by the tracks produced nothing but figurative dead ends.
So I went back out front and combed the scene of the crime once more.
A foreman said he saw an unidentified man with a tool of some kind--possibly a shovel--out on the far end of the yards near some gravel piles, so off I went.
One of the piles showed obvious signs of having been recently carved up, but I couldn't find anything. Perhaps he wasn't placing something there but rather removing
something? Had anyone else seen this man in the weeks or months leading up to now?
The one thing I did find was a fresh looking ticket stub to a showing of "Out of the Past" at the RKO Hillstreet. Not much to go on but it's better than nothing. I'll have
to drop by the theatre, but only AFTER I eat some goddamn lunch. You see, city hall looming in the distance once again made me take pause and made me realize it
was well past noon, well past my usual liquid lunch hour.....time to get soused for the afternoon grind!

I love visiting this thread!
From its window signs in your image, KTM was apparently picking up some bucks offering lessons in the then-new craft of motion picture sound recording.
Found this "KTM Radio Station" shot here at Worthpoint, stamped 1937 on the back. Photographer: Weaver. Love the lightning bolt logo! Same place? Reflections of street lamps in the window seem to match.
What about the old Plaza fire station? That should be immediately on the right hand side of the car (as seen by the driver - not by us).
fhammon, you are correct on all counts: the Plaza area is pretty botched and is probably the most egregious example of what the game didn't get right. Also, Ferguson Alley is technically there but it looks nothing like it does in the photos we've all seen. Note how my post was heavy on images of Union Station and not that area.....
If I remember correctly, the rooms look exactly the way they did in the 1930s.
Have you had the opportunity to visit the penthouse OBF? -any photographs?

Also, thank you for sharing your memories of growing up in Los Angeles Michael Ryerson.

All these childhood recollections are wonderful. Keep'em coming. :)
Does this snapshot conjure any memories? It was found in a Los Angeles centric photo-album on ebay.

Here's a few treasures currently on eBay. In the source beneath each photo I'll link to the original eBay listing.
This photo taken by my Grandmother about 1915 in front of their store - "Hastings' Place" at the corner of Vermont Avenue and Hollywood Blvd. at the eastern end of the Southern Pacific Red Car line. Every Sunday, the merchants of East Hollywood would gather at my Grandfather's store with their autos, and give visitors to the area a ride to Griffith Park for 10 cents each - see sign in windshields of autos. Good for business and commerce in the area.

And the photo I was most excited to see:
ca. 1931: Photo was taken on what is now Highway 14, the Sierra Highway, somewhere north of Red Rock Canyon and south of Little Lake. After the plank road ended in this area, the Midland Highway was a graded dirt road for the rest of this journey which conencted up with Highway 395 heading north into the Sierra Nevada and beyond.

The same seller has a few more fantastic photos up for grabs.

Hartford community leaders and environmental activists have long complained that the city bears a disproportionate share of the region's waste-disposal facilities.
Wednesday those activists took someone with a sympathetic ear, the nation's top environmental-justice official, on a tour of the city's eight facilities that burn, bury, purify or recycle trash or sewage from scores of Connecticut towns and from out of state.
Barry E. Hill, director of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's office of environmental justice, came to Hartford as part of an ongoing nationwide tour of cities that are struggling with environmental problems.
Hill spent the day touring the city and listening to residents' concerns about everything from lead poisoning and asthma among children, to smoky diesel emissions from the fleets of trucks that carry garbage or sewage sludge to incinerators in the South Meadows.
Environmental justice, Hill said at a forum hosted by the state Department of Environmental Protection, "simply means that everyone is entitled to clean air, clean land and clean water."
During the tour, Larry Charles, executive director of ONE/CHANE, a North End community group, and Dr. Mark Mitchell, spokesman for the Hartford Environmental Justice Network, showed Hill the eight facilities: the Metropolitan District Commission's sewage treatment plant, sewage sludge incinerator and the charred hulk of the sewage-composting plant that a fire destroyed; the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority's two recycling plants, trash-to-energy incinerator and two disposal locations at the North End landfill, a bulky waste dump and a lined landfill for the ash left from burning trash in the incinerator. The authority leases the landfill from the city.
Charles recounted a once-bitter fight that his organization waged against the regional trash authority over odors and water pollution from the North End landfill. His organization and others turned the landfill into a political issue for North End residents and pressed for their concerns to be addressed. Charles now praises the authority for spending more than $13 million in recent years to dramatically improve conditions at the landfill, calling it "one of the most technically advanced landfills in the country."
Hill said Hartford's problems are not insurmountable if community groups can find ways to become partners with the federal, state and local governments and with industry.
"There's no other way to address the problems," he said.
Brian J. Flaherty, spokesman for the trash authority, said that ONE/CHANE played a strong role in pressing for landfill improvements, but that the authority made most of the improvements voluntarily or under requirements of its permit from the DEP.
He said he understands the frustration of city residents who complain that Hartford is overburdened with waste-disposal facilities.
"When you add up the sum of all the facilities that are in Hartford, I would feel that way too," he said.
"But all we can account for is how we operate our facilities, and making sure our impact on the environment is minimal and our impact on the community is positive," he said. "A lot of people flush their toilets, throw away their garbage and forget about where those things go."

Fans won't be at Hampden Park on Sunday for obvious reasons and we all know how much they will be missed. With that in mind, we revisit some of the great moments on the terraces from each of the last three treble winning Scottish Cup finals.
1 – Invincible Treble
2- Double Treble
3 – Treble Treble
We won't see scenes like this at the weekend, but let's hope that it is a joyous Celtic day nonetheless.
WHEN TOM ROGIC scored that goal in the 2017 Scottish Cup Final, he probably didn't realise how important a goal it would be to the Celtic supporters. Despite wild celebrations in the stands, Rogic's goal set off a chain of events that would contribute to this unprecedented period of domination from Celtic.
Rogic has been part of this Celtic team that are on track for a quadruple treble and he has been vital to the success in recent seasons. The goal versus Aberdeen sealed an Invincible Treble for Celtic, giving Rogic his place in the Celtic fairytale. In the summer following his incredible heroics at Hampden, Rogic spoke about his love for Celtic and that game.
Celtic Park is the perfect place for Tom Rogic to play his football and you get the impression he knows that too… even if there is not much football being played just now.
"Celtic the club is enormous. There is obviously a large history and anytime there is a match or anytime you pull on that jersey, you have a responsibility," the hugely popular Australian said.
"There is a certain amount of pressure that comes with representing the club, but all players want to play at the highest level and for the biggest clubs. That's what comes with it, so it's pretty cool to represent the club. It's an atmosphere that is right up there with the very best in the world.
"The players that have played here and the top players who have come to Celtic Park from around the world have only spoken incredibly highly of it.
'It's an amazing place to play and you certainly feel the support when you are out there. It seems like a long time ago since I signed and it seems like I've been here forever, but I wouldn't change anything.
"I've had ups and downs as everyone has in football, but I can look back on the last five years and be proud of my achievements and fortunate to have been at this club for that period of time.
"In recent times, that season was pretty special on the whole. Going unbeaten and winning the Treble and, for me, the last moment in the Scottish Cup Final was something I will never forget.
"But I don't like to talk about it too much or focus on it because it only was one moment. We had a big squad and everyone contributed. For me, it's just about improving and working hard every day. Not getting complacent and striving to become better.
"I think that in this environment, the squad is very much driven in that way and we're certainly heading in the right direction."
Rogic's goal was the final instalment of the 2016/17 season but is one of the most iconic. The way he takes the ball in his stride, beating a number of Aberdeen players before rifling the ball beyond a helpless Joe Lewis.
Tom's iconic winner is beautifully described in Matt Corr's book on that season we'll never forget – Invincible, which is published by The Celtic Star.

Malins: "We'll take huge confidence from Bath win"
Player of the Match Max Malins was thrilled with the performance at the Recreation Ground which saw Sarries score 10 tries in the demolition of Bath on Sunday afternoon.
The versatile back scored a hat-trick in what turned out to be the biggest away win in Premiership history, but despite all of the free-flowing scores he was quick to pay tribute to the pack.
"That performance is all part of our hard work. We came out firing early on and it's massive credit to our forwards as they gave us backs the foundation to play from and score those tries in the first half."
The 24-year-old said the squad wanted to react after the first half display against Newcastle, which they certainly showed.
"There was a big focus on our energy this week. Against Newcastle last week we faltered due to mistakes and we wanted to bounce back, I thought we did that brilliantly today."
He added: "We've got to keep driving those high standards. When we look back on it we'll probably be disappointed with those last 15 minutes but we're building each week."
Malins has big aims both personally and for the group this season, and he is already looking ahead to the visit of Wasps on Sunday.
"We'll take huge confidence from this in to the Wasps game, our aim is to take this team somewhere we haven't been before."
When quizzed about the England squad, he didn't shy away from his ambitions in the white shirt.
"We'll see what happens, but if I get the chance I really want to make my stamp on that England jersey."

City of Gweru water woes worsen
GWERU City Council is in urgent need of US$64 million to upgrade its old and dilapidated water pumping system, a development that has seen 10 high lying suburbs going for weeks without supplies.
Town clerk Ms Elizabeth Gwatipedza said because of the obsolete equipment and a growing population of about 200 000 people, residents should brace for water woes until such a time when the local authority is able to secure US$64 million for upgrading the old and dilapidated water system.
Ms Gwatipedza said in the next few months, council will implement a strict water rationing regime.
Ms Gwatipedza said each day the local authority has a deficit of 15 mega litres of water to supply residents. She said the city needs in excess of 80 mega litres of water a day.
The town clerk said high lying areas which include Mkoba 14, 19, 11, 10, 1, 2, 7, 17, Harben Park and Ridgemont are experiencing water problems.
"Supply through the two treatment plants that is Gwenhoro and Whitewaters, with capacities of 60 mega litres and 5 mega litres respectively when fully functional, brings the total to a mere 65 mega litres per day. Currently Gwenhoro treatment plant has an output of 40-43 mega litres per day while Whitewater has an output of 1.5 mega litres per day giving a total of between 43-44 mega litres per day," she said.
"Due to bottlenecks caused by civil mechanical and electrical equipment broken down, we cannot operate at full capacity. With a deficit of 15 mega litres per day, we can't fill our reservoirs. High lying areas which include Mkoba 14, 19, 11, 10, 1, 2, 7, 17, Harben Park and Ridgemont suffer because of the deficit."
Ms Gwatipedza said due to frequent power outages and pipe bursts on council's pumping mains, there are times when there is no production from the treatment plants further worsening the situation.
She advised residents that Gwenhoro dam is currently at 26 percent capacity which translates to only five months supply at the current production rate.
"Amaphongokwe dam is 75 percent full, which is enough to take us for an additional 12 months. However, our pump has broken down and we cannot utilise the resource. Efforts are underway to urgently construct and equip Amaphongokwe raw water pump station. However due to the financial challenges the city is facing, the equipping of Amaphongokwe may not materialise as soon as possible," Ms Gwatipedza said.

Expert's Rating
Our Verdict
Incase's Special Edition Folio is a leather case for your fifth-generation (5G) iPod. The "Special Edition" aspect of the case is the high-quality Nappa leather that surrounds the exterior of the case and the suede that lines the interior. The leather feels nice in the hand and the white and orange color combination is stylish. In typical folio style, the case has a flap secured by velcro that wraps around itself to protect the iPod (whose entire face is already protected). A clear-plastic shield protects the iPod's screen while the Click Wheel is protected by a translucent piece of plastic with a raised opaque center.
The flipcover includes a slot for cards; on the back is a horizontal belt clip. The iPod's headphone jack, hold switch, and dock-connector port are all accessible. The material around the headphone port is thin, allowing for use of most headphones. The one flaw of this particular folio implementation is your iPod's tendency to slide to the left a bit out of place when the case is opened.
Other than this sliding tendency, however, the Folio is a well-designed case that looks good, feels great in the hand, and offers decent protection.–Derik DeLong

Trucking Group to Replace Entire Haul Truck Fleet at Chile Mine
August 30, 2022
Caterpillar Inc., BHP Group Limited and Finning International have announced an agreement to replace BHP's entire haul truck fleet at the Escondida mine, the world's largest copper producer, located in the Antofagasta region of northern Chile.
The agreement is part of a strategic renewal process developed by Escondida, the companies said. The new Caterpillar 798 AC electric drive trucks will include technology that delivers improvement in material-moving capacity, efficiency, reliability and safety. In addition, the systems support future initiatives, including decarbonization, autonomous technologies, and the development of local capabilities.
The first trucks are expected to arrive at the mine in the second half of 2023, with delivery of the remaining trucks to extend over the next 10 years as the three companies work to replace more than 160 haul trucks. Maintenance and support services provided under the agreement will advance BHP's local employment and gender-balance strategies, the company added.
The agreement allows Escondida and BHP to accelerate the implementation of its autonomy plans by transitioning the fleet to include technology that enables autonomous operation. The three companies also said they will uphold a commitment to contribute to the economic and social development of Antofagasta, through the generation of local capabilities related to the development of mining equipment technologies.
"This agreement is an important step to continue projecting into the future Escondida and BHP's leadership in the industry," said James Whittaker, president of Escondida & BHP. "It will allow us to generate significant efficiencies at the operational level, but it is also in line with some of the main challenges that drive us as a company: innovation for the future of mining, decarbonization, and development of capabilities in Antofagasta's community. We have great expectations regarding the benefits that will be generated in the short and long term for both the company and the Antofagasta region."
"The Caterpillar team is excited to support the successful deployment of machines and technology that will facilitate a step-function improvement in BHP's operational excellence," said Denise Johnson, group president of resource industries at Caterpillar. "We applaud BHP as this mine site transformation accelerates the delivery of their aggressive sustainability targets."

Brigade Electronics' new RFID proximity warning system increases job site safety
Brigade Electronics has added ZoneSafe, a radio frequency identification (RFID) proximity warning system, to its range of vehicle safety systems.
ZoneSafe works by using RFID technology to create detection zones around vehicles, reducing the risk of injury or damage from collisions and near-miss occurrences to people and property.
Designed for use in challenging environments, such as warehouses, construction sites, manufacturing sites, trash sites, airports, and distribution centres, ZoneSafe uses vehicle-mounted antennas that communicate with detection tags, which can be worn by workers, set up in restricted areas, or placed on objects or property. When a tag enters a detection zone, the vehicle operator will automatically receive a visual and audible alert via the in-cab control unit, which will enable them to take the necessary action. Tags worn by workers on foot will also vibrate to warn of an approaching vehicle.
Due to the RFID technology, which does not require line-of-sight, tags will be detected regardless of obstructions, blind spots, adverse weather conditions, or poor visibility. Each tag can be uniquely identified and linked to individual people.
"Approximately 70 percent of incidents on sites happen during initial machine start-up and low-speed movement because of poor visibility," says Warren DiMarco, CEO of Brigade Electronics Canada. "This makes ZoneSafe ideal for vehicles and mobile machinery that frequently operate within close proximity to workers and other machines, particularly in difficult conditions. It provides fast, reliable and accurate data exchange without any limitation on the number of tags or antennas in operation."

Few other coming out stories were more inspiring last year than that of EJ Johnson, the son of NBA legend Magic Johnson, who came out to widespread praise from fans and, most importantly, the praise and support of his family. During a recent stop on "Bethenny," EJ discussed his coming out story and explained how thankful he is for his family's support.
While chatting with host Bethenny Frankel, EJ was asked his parents' reaction to his sexuality, to which he maintained that they've been nothing but loving to him.
"They were very supportive and I'm blessed that they supported me since day one and they never stopped loving me. They're always there for me. And they certainly encouraged me to be myself. And express myself. And I love it," said EJ
And when Frankel asked EJ if he was born gay or not, he explained that he had no choice in the matter.
"Yeah, I don't think, you know, anything shaped it or [it was] anything from society or nature. It was certainly something that I always feel that I was. … And my parents could see that too," EJ explained.
As always, we're glad that Magic and his wife, Cookie, have shown their son nothing but unconditional love and we hope that they're love for their son inspires other parents to be as accepting and open-minded when it comes to their LGBT kids. nicholas robinson

When the Bank of Canada raised its benchmark interest rate for the first time in two years earlier this month, it sent a clear message to borrowers that the era of cheap money was coming to an end. end.
With economists expecting the bank to gradually hike its rate half a dozen times this year, there is growing sentiment that the bank may need to start moving faster and more drastically than expected to contain inflation, which is already at its highest level. in one generation.
Pricing of investments known as swaps suggests there is a good chance the bank will raise its rate by half a percentage point at its meeting in April, taking the benchmark rate to 1%.
In central banks, caution is a virtue, so they tend to like to go up and down slowly, in increments of 25 points, or a quarter of a percentage point at a time. Moving half a percentage point at a time is a sign that the bank might think more aggressive action is needed.
The bank's deputy governor said as much during a speech in San Francisco this weektelling attendees at a monetary policy conference that a slight increase in household debt was "worrying" and that the bank was "prepared to act forcefully" to ensure inflation was not too high for too long.
"I expect the pace and magnitude of interest rate increases…to be an integral part of our deliberations in our next decision," Sharon Kozicki said.
How much and how fast
For Carlos Capistrán, an economist at Bank of America, strong language like that of a central banker is a clear sign that "everything is on the table" when it comes to bringing down inflation.
This kind of tough talk is the banks' way of saying "We're really going to fight this hard if we need to," Capistrán says.
That's why he's increased his rate forecast since Kozicki's speech, to include not just one but three big hikes in quick succession. He now expects the central bank to rise by 50 points at each of its next three meetings in April, June and July, and will follow them with smaller ones thereafter until next year until the rate of discount is 3.25%.
This is almost double the bank rate of 1.75% before the pandemic, and you would have to go back to 2008, before the financial crisis, to find the last time the rate was this high.
For Capistrán, the reasons to speed things up are obvious. "Inflation is quite high, the economy is really hot, the labor market is really hot in Canada and the [U.S.] The Fed is also about to hike 50 basis points," he said in an interview. "So there are a lot of reasons why they might be more aggressive than usual this time around. ."
Fixed rate loans are not immune
Aggression may be what is needed right now, but borrowers risk being collateral damage in the central bank's nascent inflationary fight.
Floating-rate loans are pegged to the central bank rate, and they have risen slightly in recent weeks, ahead of the bank's decision.
Fixed rate loans, on the other hand, are not impacted by the central bank rate and are instead priced according to what is happening in the bond market, but here too the market has shown warning signs. red last month: rates heading higher, fast.
When borrowers take out a loan from a bank, they may assume that the lender has this type of money, but in fact they are borrowing it from the bond market and making a profit on the spread between the rate they pay to borrow money for themselves, and the rate they charge their customers when they lend it out in things like mortgages.
A good number of borrowers are opting for five-year fixed-rate loans, which makes five-year Government of Canada bonds the best indicator of what might happen to fixed-rate loans, and the yield on that debt has jumped more than one percent in March – an unprecedented jump in the stuffy world of bonds.
The yield on five-year bonds rose above 2.5% for the first time since the pandemic this week, pushing fixed mortgage rates well above 3% or even 4% in response.
According to the Bank of Canada, the average rate for a conventional mortgage at the major banks is currently 4.79%. But remember, just a year ago, at the height of the pandemic, a borrower could get a five-year fixed rate loan for the first time ever at less than 1%.
According to rate comparison websites rates.ca and ratehub.ca, it's not hard to find a variable rate loan right now for just over 1%, but if Capistrán's projections are accurate and the Bank of Canada rate is heading towards 3.25, expect variable rates to make a similar jump.
The impact could be dramatic. Currently, a 25-year uninsured mortgage of $400,000 at 1.5% would cost $1,599 per month. But if that variable rate goes up to just 4%, when fixed rate loans already are, the monthly payment jumps by more than $500 per month for the life of the loan.
WATCH | Many mortgage holders are already walking a thin line, according to a survey:
'Soft landing'
That's $500 less in every homeowner's pocket to spend on other things, which is why the Bank of Canada is concerned. "Rising mortgage rates will weigh on their spending," Kozicki said in his speech, "and if enough of them materially slow spending, it could affect the whole economy."
Finding the right balance between controlling inflation without flipping the economy is the job of the central bank, and economists have a term for defining the best-case scenario.
"What the central bank is trying to do and what we're all hoping for is what we call a soft landing," Capistrán said. "To lower inflation without creating a recession."
Andrew Husby, an economist at Bloomberg, said the so-called soft landing the bank is trying to achieve is made even more difficult by the bank's longstanding preference to be cautious when it comes to rising. and lower rates.
"If you're too predictable and too gradual and you're doing it just to be gradual and not to adjust to economic conditions, that can be a problem and it can lead to more inflation," he said in a statement. maintenance.
Ultimately, this stated predilection is why he's not among those expecting a bigger-than-usual rate hike next week — a path he says should be good enough. to achieve its objective of reducing inflation over the long term.
"As we enter the second half of the year, we will see inflation start to come down," he said. "Not as far as the bank would like, but at least in the right direction."

Taiwan has denied it is being pressured by the US government into halting the supply of electronic chips to Chinese tech firm Huawei.
According to a recent Financial Times report, the Trump administration told Taiwanese diplomats that chips produced by the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) should not be sent to Huawei because it was using the products in rockets being aimed at Taiwan.
A security analyst was quoted as saying the US is currently taking a hard look at all forms of advanced chips being exported from Taiwan and Japan to China and South Korea.
According to figures from Credit Suisse, China accounted for 20 per cent of TSMC's revenues for the third quarter of 2019.
However, Bloomberg has now reported a denial from the Taiwanese government that the US has exerted any such pressure to reduce exports.
Spokesperson Kolas Yotaka told the news provider: "Our government has not received any request from the US government to stop TSMC from supplying Huawei."
A statement from the office of Taiwan's president Tsai Ing-wen insisted: "Taiwan's technology industry strictly respects international rules and continues to cooperate with major countries, including the US."

As Pride Month comes to a close, Pavillon54 highlights five key artists from Africa and the Diaspora who are defying cultural and societal expectations and furthering a progressive, forward-thinking and revolutionary African art movement. Through photography, performance, painting or sculpture—whichever weapon of choice the artists' choose—each of their practices are dedicated to fighting stereotypes and discrimination against the queer communities in their respective countries, and the world more broadly. Read on to discover the methods in which these artists and activists use art to bring to light the pain, vulnerability, strength and beauty of queer individuals in Africa and beyond.
Zanele Muholi
Zanele Muholi is one of the most famous visual artists working today. Hailing from South Africa, Muholi rose to prominence through their photographic work, particularly the series 'Faces and Phases', which critically challenged the belief that homosexuality was un-African. With solo exhibitions at the Tate Modern, Fotografiska, the Brooklyn Museum and the Stedelijk Museum, Muholi's activism has touched many nations and individuals with their striking and sensitive portraits that address racism, queerness, and Black identity in equal measure. Muholi also represented South Africa at the 2013 Venice Biennale.

Julie Mehretu
Ethiopian artist Julie Mehretu draws from a range of historical and cultural references to create and explore new forms and compositions in her abstract works. Combining influences from European history painting, architectural sketches, Futurism, graffiti, and even African liberation movements, Mehretu sponges up the signs and symbols from history and the world around her to critically address the socio-political nature of an urban environment. Mehretu is an example of a queer African artist who doesn't take sexuality as a primary subject matter of her work, and yet the facts of homosexuality and the violence enacted upon queer people are just one of many pieces of a puzzle that inform the artist's complex and variegated body of work.

Maganga Mwagogo
Nairobi-based photographer Maganga Mwagogo celebrates queer love in Kenya. Through the softness and sensitive treatment of this subject matter in his series 'To Revolutionary Type of Love', Mwagogo aims to normalise a relationship between two men in a world where heteronormativity prevails. Mwagogo has also published his series 'The Kenyan Cool Girl', which celebrates queer culture in Kenya, with Vogue magazine.

Toyin Ojih Odutola
Toyin Ojih Odutola is a Nigerian-American painter based in New York. Her expressive and sensitive portraits depict Black life and identity in all its nuances, with a narrative and story-telling element being key to Ojih Odutola's practice. Through these stories, the artist subtly conveys a myriad of African identities—ones that could or could not also depict queerness, but allow for her characters to speak to each individual on a personal level, and open the dialogue to the infinite ways individuals from Africa and the Diaspora may identify, and wish to be perceived.

Nicholas Hlobo
Another of South Africa's leading artists, Nicholas Hlobo, addresses themes of sexuality, masculinity, and race in his large-scale sculptural work. Drawing his motivations to address this theme from his identity as a gay Xhosa man, Hlobo often incorporates found objects such as ribbon, embroidery, or leather, to question preconceptions around gender and sexuality. The artist often uses the Xhosa rituals as sources of inspiration and uses the language for the titles of his works. Hlobo has exhibited at major museums such as the Tate Modern, and is represented by blue-chip galleries such as Lehmann Maupin.

okay, so we currently have 5 hens and one rooster. This spring we're probably going to get rid of the roo (speaking of if anyone in california wants a healthy handsome barred rock roo contact me. We can't add too many flock members, because we can't have that many chickens. So would it be okay if we bought two chicks raised them to 8 weeks old and then intergrated them into the flock? And also where should we keep them those first 8 weeks, completely separate from the hens? separated by a fence? Thats all!
