Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, has pledged an investigation into the crash of a decrepit military plane in central Tehran, while thanking the 108 dead for their martyrdom.
His comments came after Mostafa Mohammad Najjar, the defence minister, was the target of an impeachment motion filed by a group of parliament deputies angered over reports that the aged C-130 was ordered to fly despite warnings from its pilot.
Ahmadinejad said on Sunday of last Tuesday's crash: "The government will hold a serious investigation."
Speaking of those killed on board, he said: "But what is important is that they have shown the way to martyrdom which we must follow."
The C-130 workhorse – bought from the United States before the 1979 Islamic revolution and starved of crucial spares by US-imposed sanctions – crashed into the foot of a high-rise housing block after suffering engine failure.
"What is important is that they have shown the way to martyrdom which we must follow"
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
Of the 108 people killed, 68 were journalists travelling to report on military exercises in the south of the country.
Forty-nine deputies in the Iranian Majlis have backed the impeachment motion. The text of their complaint was not published, but the authorities have been under fire over indications the plane had been forced to fly.
Gholam Ali Hadad-Adel, the parliament speaker, said the motion would be first examined by parliament's legal service, and, if deemed presentable, would be examined by the assembly on 18 December.
According to the official news agency IRNA, the aeroplane did not have a flight recorder although all communications between the plane and the control tower at Mehrabad airport were recorded.
It said a 25-member team made up of armed forces personnel was probing the cause of the disaster.

I've griped before on serving in church. Those who don't haven't quite grasped the nature of being an imitator of Christ, who came to serve and not to be served. Sadly, those who do contribute to their local congregation don't always have the purest of motives.
I'm not wise enough nor have I had enough life experience to exhaust all the possible wrong motives we may have for doing what we do. I've come up with 3 situations in which it would be opportune for a Christian to quit doing what they're doing. It need not be permanent—a break long enough to examine one's own heart and repent should suffice.
When you're not in it for the Father's pleasure
Remember when you were a kid and you presented your parents with artistic masterpieces? You were completely unself-conscious about the disproportionate human limbs and incongruous colour of the family pet. It was simply a pleasure, not a means to an end.
Are you disappointed that no one notices all the work you put in? Do you feel you can't stand the people you're serving or serving with? Or do you pat yourself on the back, thinking it was awfully nice of you to have done such an unpleasant task? Then stop. Stop if you can't go up to your heavenly Father and unabashedly say, "Look what I did today!"
When you can't see yourself doing something else
So you're thrilled by what you're doing, but what if you're asked to do something else? Maybe your area of ministry is being discontinued, or more hands are needed elsewhere. If that prospect seems unthinkable, then stop. You've made an idol out of your service. The God you're serving is greater than the task you're accomplishing. He is pleased by your faithfulness in the work, and not by the work itself.
When you can't see someone else in your place
This is related to the previous point, which assumed that your place would remain vacant. But what if someone is called to replace you or work alongside you?
I struggled with this particular issue. For over 3 years, I was the sole person in charge of our church website. A while back, two other volunteers joined me and I found it oh-so-hard to give up exclusive control (I eventually did, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this). The sky didn't fall on our heads and it was great to have less to think about, even though I had to tweak things every now and then.
I hope reading this post hasn't left you feeling guilty. God has an infinite willingness to forgive His wayward children and to welcome into His family those that aren't part of it. Repent, and trust in His Holy Spirit to work in you.

I was the recipient of a random act of kindness today.
Preparing to pay for my parking and laden with grocery bags one of the mall's security guards ran up to me and offered me his "free parking" slip.
He'd just bought a cool drink at the Checkers to have with his lunch and as part of thanking you for shopping at their store they provide free parking for 1 hour.
I was taken aback at the unexpectedness of this gesture.
"And what about you?" I asked.
"I don't have a car," he said, "I use public transport. Here, use my slip."
Touched, humbled, delighted, grateful and awe are words to describe what I felt.
I will pay it forward. I hope that he will be the recipient of someone's act of kindness too.
The box is not empty. It's filled with an injured pigeon we're hoping to nurse back to health.
Che spotted a bird in the pool this morning. It was just floating seeming without life. He rushed out to fish it from the pool and found that it was still alive, just barely. The water couldn't have been more than 8 degrees (centigrade).
We put it on some absorbent kitchen paper to get rid of the water, wrapped him in newspaper because in addition to being waterlogged he was also hypothermic, or the bird equivalent of that.
It eventually began to shiver, a good sign that its body was reacting. We tried the hairdryer on the warm setting until I thought of the bean bag which I use for muscle spasm.
This made a huge difference. We put it on this on the window sill which gets quite warm during the day. Eventually its shivering stopped and the gasping stopped gasping and its breaths, initially slow and spaced apart, became a bit faster and seemed to be normalising.
Its lolling head lifted and it started to try to stand up. All good signs. We put him it a box facing the sun where it could protect its head.
I was on a business call a couple of hours later when I heard a hiss and scratching on the box. Nermal the cat, since woken from his lazy winter slumber on the couch discovered…lunch! Or so he thought. He was duly banished to the outdoors.
The pigeon was by this time up and about and we allowed it outside hoping that it'd fly away. We didn't see any blood or other injury. But it just stood on the grass. Every time I looked out of the window there it was, still standing looking up at the trees. This was awfully strange and google said that sometimes injured pigeons can take up to 3 days to recover.
I called Che from the garage where he was working and we chased this pigeon (who can run fast but can't fly) until we caught it. In the process of catching it he tried to fly away over the pool and it got half-way across before coming to land in the frigid water once again! And we saw that its wing, though not broken, is injured.
Rinse and repeat the morning's activities. It's now ensconced in a box, with a bean bag I keep on warming up, with some food and water. Tomorrow, with more time, we'll take a look at his wing, see how bad the injury is and decide what to do then.
In between working, this was the day's adventure. I hope the pigeon recovers. Irrespective of what people say about them, it's still a living creature and I can't see one suffer in my backyard where I could do something about it.
So, the box is not empty, it is full of pigeon we are going to do our damnedest to nurse back to health.
I'm looking forward to our days getting longer as we slowly march towards summer here in the southern hemisphere.
In the meantime I'm reminded that in Joburg, our Christmas is in the middle of summer and instead of snow we get hail. Sometimes the fall is so heavy that it looks like snow on the ground.
In no time the sun comes out again to melt the hail. The day, only mildly cooler with the hailstorm beckons us outside and the pool invites once again.

Shareholders Sue Baker Hughes For Bribery
HOUSTON (CN) – Directors of Baker Hughes, worldwide oil services, failed to stop bribing foreign officials despite a court order to do so, shareholders claim in Federal Court. Shareholders say the "Code of Conduct" the company instituted in 2002, after the SEC sued it, "was a farce," and the company continued paying "illegal bribes totaling millions of dollars … to foreign officials."
Baker Hughes paid $44 million in April 2007 and was ordered to disgorge illegal profits to settle more bribery complaints, from the SEC and the Department of Justice, plaintiffs say, including an $11 million criminal fine.
Plaintiffs want restitution and exemplary damages from the Baker Hughes board members.
Plaintiffs' lead counsel is Crowley Norman.

The analysis of floating oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy conversion (WEC) devices involves the coupled dynamics of the water column and the floating structure. In the present study, a mechanical oscillator model was used to examine this relationship for the heave motion of a floating wave energy conversion device. Optimal power take-off damping of the system was determined and the effects on maximum power capture examined. The influence of relative OWC and floating structure natural frequencies on OWC WEC device optimisation was also investigated.

In a statement issued to ZDNet Australia , NSW chief information officer Paul Edgecumbe said the 11 companies nominated to the panel in early April had been given until this evening to offer comment on a draft customised version of ProcureIT, the state's new terms and conditions for information technology contracts.
The procurement panel is being established to slash the time and money government agencies would otherwise spend calling their own tenders for Linux and open-source software, and evaluating the bids.
The ProcureIT draft is designed to be flexible enough to service all panel members, with conditions varied where required to accommodate differences such as liability provisions for small to medium enterprises.
A final version of ProcureIT -- incorporating comments from panel members -- is due for release in July, Edgecumbe said. The panel is to be formally constituted once the first of those companies -- which include CSC, Dell, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Novell, Sol1, Starcom, Sun Microsystems and System Integration Services -- signs all documents relating to that version.
The CIO said while all 11 were expected to agree to the final version of ProcureIT, "there may be some time variances" as to when individual companies sign up.
"Each company will be admitted to the panel upon signing the agreement in accordance with the standard practice for NSW government information technology panels," Edgecumbe said.
The NSW Minister for Commerce, John Della Bosca, announced the preliminary panelists several weeks ago after a six month tender evaluation process, saying the positions were subject to "final negotiations".

THE FLATS – A 30-point performance helped Georgia Tech freshman Elizabeth Balogun repeat as ACC Rookie of the Week as announced by the conference office on Sunday. The weekly award marks the second for the freshman who picked up her first Rookie of the Week honor on Dec. 17.
Balogun helped the Yellow Jackets to a 1-1 week in the West Palm Beach Invitational this past week, uprooting Seton Hall before falling to Dayton. The Chattanooga, Tenn., native dropped a game-high 30 points against Seton Hall, going 12-for-21 from the field, while securing six rebounds, two assists, two steals and a season-high four blocks. With the 30-point performance, Balogun became the first Yellow Jacket freshman since 2013-14 to record 30 points in a game.
She wrapped up the tournament with 13 points and seven rebounds against Dayton. In her 12th start of the season, Balogun finished with two blocks and a steal in her ninth game scoring in double-figures. She averaged 21.5 points per game in the tournament.
Georgia Tech returns to the hardwood on Dec. 30 welcoming Wofford to McCamish Pavilion. Tip is slated for 2 p.m. on ACC Network Extra.

Microsoft is sunsetting support for third-party kernel-mode driver package digital signatures
The process for signing your kernel-mode driver packages is changing. Starting in 2021, Microsoft will be the sole provider of production kernel-mode code signatures. You will need to start following Microsoft's updated instructions to sign any new kernel-mode driver packages going forward. See Partner Center for Windows Hardware.
What is DigiCert doing about this?
As a first step in this sunsetting process, DigiCert has removed the Microsoft Kernel-Mode Code platform option from Code Signing certificate request forms: new, reissue, and renew.
This means going forward, you can no longer order, reissue, or renew a code signing certificate for the kernel-mode platform.
How does this affect my existing kernel-mode Code Signing certificate?
You can continue to use your existing certificates to sign Kernel-Mode driver packages until the cross-signed root it is chained to expires. DigiCert brand cross-signed root certificates expire in 2021.
For more details, see our knowledgeable article, Microsoft sunsetting support for cross-signed root certificates with kernel-mode signing capabilities.

'Waste not, want not' is a pretty common attitude in the Bay of Plenty and is inspiring Tauranga cafés and supermarkets to give back to those in need. Think of all the unsold fresh fruit and vegetables, delicious sweet treats, savouries, salads and sandwiches that wind up in the rubbish every day. Well, not in the Bay!
Thanks to Good Neighbour, a local charitable trust that rescues food that would otherwise be thrown away, 10 tonnes of food is rescued from landfill every week.
Around 15,000 volunteer hours go into Good Neighbour projects and activities every year and anyone is welcome to join in the fun – even if you're just passing through.
If gardening's your thing, feel free to turn up at their Bethlehem or Welcome Bay Community Gardens on Wednesday or Friday mornings, or lend a helping hand on a Good Neighbour project on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 1pm-4pm. Just phone the office on 07 394 4249 to find out what's happening.
A unique festival called 'Food for Thought' is also held in March every year to help raise awareness about food waste and showcase how someone else's leftovers can be transformed into a gourmet feast. Local chefs and culinary students come together to whip up a menu based on what can be 'rescued' the day or two before.
You can also get involved by supporting one of the awesome Tauranga cafés that are part of Good Neighbour's Food Rescue service. No muffin will go to waste! Make sure you pay a visit to one of these wonderful eateries below while you're in town:
- Alimento Eatery, 74 First Avenue
- Love Rosie Bakery, 50 Ninth Avenue
- Little Long, 39 Spring St
- Me & You Café, 48 First Avenue

Man thought he was raising puppies, turns out they're bears
A man in China spent two years raising a pair of puppies — only to have the jarring realization that he was actually raising two bears.
Yunnan resident Wang Kayui bought two "puppies" from a mysterious Vietnamese strangers a few years ago. There was apparently nothing unusual about the pets when Kayui took them home, and the animals were very well-behaved.
However, as the "puppies" grew, it became clear that something was amiss — particularly when they killed and ate Kayui's pet chickens. (The fact that they look like bears was NOT a tip-off).
It was a pamphlet about endangered species that finally made the connection click for Kayui. After looking at the photos, he realized that his "dogs" were actually Asian black bears.
Kayui consequently handed his puppy-bears over to the Forest Public Security Bureau, and the bears were re-homed at the Yunnan Wild Animal Rescue Center.
Feng Lingui, a spokesperson for the center, told the Daily Mail that the two bears, a boy and a girl, were doing very well in their new home.
It is unknown whether or not Kayui will be getting any new pets to replace his bears.

Lawmakers default on loans too
After stars like Evander Holyfield and Jose Canseco defaulted on their mortgages, who is immune: lawmakers? Think again. The Charlotte Observer has a story out today reporting that Julia Boseman, a North Carolina State Senator has fallen behind on her mortgage.
"A North Carolina state senator and her former domestic partner have defaulted on a $1.3 million mortgage on a New Hanover County home.
Sen. Julia Boseman and Melissa Jarrell have failed to pay the $7,156 monthly payments since last August, according to evidence at a court hearing last week. The home is now scheduled to be auctioned June 25 at the county courthouse, the Star-News of Wilmington reported.
County tax records show $4,700 in taxes are also owed on the property. Jarrell now lives in the house, where they raised a son before separating."
-Charlotte Observer, 10 Jun 2008
Divorce, sickness and job loss were the three usual suspects in past mortgage crises. Boseman joins U.S. Representative Laura Richardson (D-CA) as one of the first lawmakers to succumb to this disaster.
There's good detail on these stories from the blog "Baltimore Housing Bubble"

of which no one has acquired the ownership, as wild animals, or unoccupied islands in the sea. 61. Having thus given a sketch of the position of persons in
Roman law, as also of the divisions of things, we now Rights.
. proceed to speak of that connection between persons and things which what are termed rights express. The necessities of his physical position oblige man to exert his power over the
world of things. At first property is held by the
4. tribe or community, then by the family, and lastly by the individual; and when society has reached this last stage, which it had reached in the earliest known times of Roman law,* his special interests prompt each man to claim, as against his fellows, an exclusive interest in particular things. Sometimes such a claim sanctioned by law is urged directly: the owner, as he is said to be, of the thing publishes this claim against all other men, and asserts an indisputable title himself to enjoy all the advantages which the possession of the thing can confer. Sometimes the claim is more indirect; the claimant insists that there are one or more particular individuals who ought to put him in possession of something he wishes to obtain, or do something for him, or fulfil some promise, or repair some damage they have made or caused. Such a claim is primarily urged against particular persons, and not against the world at large. On this distinction between claims to things advanced against all men, and those advanced primarily against particular men, is based the division of rights into real and personal expressed by writers of the middle ages,t on the analogy of terms found in the writings of the Roman jurists, by the phrases jura in re and jura ad rem. A real right, a jus in re, or, to use the equivalent phrase preferred by some later commentators, jus in rem,f is a right to have a thing to the exclusion of
• We have, however, such expressions as sui heredes applied to children who, after the death of the paterfamilias, took the inheritance as something belonging to themselves, and this is obviously a survival from the times when the family rather than the individual was regarded as the owner of property.
+ The term jus in re appears in the summary of law bearing the name of the Brachylogus, which belongs to the twelfth century ; both phrases occur in the pontifical constitutions of the thirteenth century. (See Sexti Decret. iii. 7, 8, in quibus jus non esset quæsitum in re, licet ad rem.)
The objection to using the term jus in re is that the expression occurs in the classical jurists as meaning an interest in a thing short of ownership, as the interest of a mortgagee in the thing pledged, and on this ground the term jus in rem, which is not found in the classical jurists, but is supported by the analogy of the familiar term actio in rem, seems preferable.
all other men. A personal right, jus ad rem, or, to use a much more correct expression, jus in personam, is a right in which there is a person who is the subject of the right, as well as a thing as its object, a right which gives its possessor a power to oblige another person to give or procure, or do or not do something. It is true that in a real right the notion of persons is involved, for no one could claim a thing if there were no other persons against whom to claim it; and that in a personal right is involved the notion of a thing, for the object of the right is a thing which the possessor wishes to have given, procured, done, or not done. But the leading principle of the distinction is simple and intelligible; and though it has not been formally adopted in the system of the Institutes or of the leading jurists, yet the classifications of the different relations of persons and things which they actually employed, are so capable of being assimilated to that which this distinction suggests that we need not hesitate to adopt it.
III. RIGHTS OVER THINGS. 62. The most complete right over a thing is of course that possessed by the absolute owner of the thing, the
Dominium, person who has power to dispose of it as he likes, and who holds it by a title recognised as valid by law. This ownership was in Roman law expressed by the word dominium, sometimes by proprietas. The dominus was entitled to the use of the thing (usus), to the enjoyment of all its products (fructus), or to consume the thing entirely if it was capable of consumption (abusus). He could also dispose of or alienate it at will. In the ancient system of private law, the owner was said to be owner Ex jure Quiritium. Nor did the old law recognise any dominium other than that which was enjoyed ex jure Quiritium. But the prætors found occasions when they wished to give all the advantages of ownership, but were prevented by the civil law from giving the legal dominium. Another kind of dominium came therefore to be spoken of; and the term in bonis habere was used to express an ownership which was practically absolute because it was protected by the prætor's authority, but which was not technically the same as ownership ex jure Quiritium. Commentators have called this ownership the dominium bonitarium, i term not, however, used by the jurists. The distinction between the dominium bonitarium and that ex jure Quiritium entirely disappeared under Justinian. 63. To the notion of dominium was opposed that of possessio.
A person might be owner of a thing and yet not posPossessio.
' sess it, or possess it without being the owner. Possession implied actual physical occupation, or detention, to use the technical term, of the thing ; but it also implied something more in the sense in which it was used by the Roman lawyers. It implied not only a fact, but an intention; not only the fact of the thing being under the control of the possessor, but also the intention on the part of the possessor to hold it so as to reap exactly the same benefit from it as the real owner would, and to exercise the same rights over it, even though he might be well aware that he was not the real owner, and had no claim to be so. The possessor was entitled to have his possession protected against every one but the true owner, and length of possession would, under certain conditions fixed by law, make the possessor really become the owner of the thing possessed.
64. As the rights over a thing may be very numerous, it is perfectly possible to separate them, and to give some to one person and some to another. We can, for instance, separate the right of walking in a field from the right of digging under the surface, and give the right of doing the one to this person and of doing the other to that. In this way each right that is separated off may be considered as a fragment of the whole dominium, capable of being given away from the proprietor. These fragmentary rights, these portions of the whole right comprised in the
absolute ownership, were termed servitutes, because Serritutes.
*. the thing was under a kind of slavery for the benefit of the person entitled to exercise over it this separate right. In some servitudes, the right over the thing subject to the servitude, res serviens, was attached to the ownership of another thing (res dominans) : the servitudes were then spoken of as servitutes rerum or prædiorum, and a distinction was made in these servitudes according as the right given by them referred to the soil itself, as the right to go or to drive over it, when the servitudes were said to be rusticorum prædiorum, or to the soil as supporting some superstructure, as a house, when the servitudes were said to be urbanorum prædiorum. In other servitudes, the right was given to particular persons; and the servitudes were then termed servitutes personarum. The most important of these latter servi
tudes were ususfructus and usus. Ususfructus was the right to enjoy a thing belonging to another person so as to reap all the produce derivable from it, as, for instance, all the fruits of the soil; usus was the right to use and enjoy a thing belonging to another person, only without reaping any, or only a small portion, of its produce. Only immoveable property was subject to the servitutes prædiorum ; both moveable and immoveable to the servitutes personarum.
65. There were two other rights over things which had something of the nature of servitudes, but which received
Emphyteusis a particular name. These were emphyteusis and and supersuperficies. The former was an alienation of all rights reves. except that of the bare ownership for a long term, in consideration of the proprietor receiving a yearly rent (pensio); the latter was the alienation by the owner of the surface of the soil of all rights necessary for building on the surface, a yearly rent being generally reserved.
66. Lastly, there was the right given over a thing by pledge or mortgage, pignus, hypotheca; the former term being used to express the case of the thing, over which
Jus pignoris. the right was given, being placed in the possession of the creditor, the latter to express the case of it being left in the possession of the debtor. The right was given to secure a creditor the payment of his debt; and he ultimately had power to sell the thing, and to satisfy his claim out of the proceeds, or, if he could find no purchaser, to have himself made owner of the thing.
67. We may now proceed to speak of the mode in which rights over things are acquired. We find at the outset an Acai obvious difference between acquiring rights over a par- of rights over ticular thing and acquiring rights over the entirety of things a number of things comprised in such a term as an inheritance, which includes the entirety of the rights belonging to a deceased person, both over things and against persons. We may thus divide the subject of the acquisition of rights into two parts: the first comprising the modes in which rights are acquired over particular things; the second comprising the modes in which an entirety (universitas) of rights, both over things and against persons, passed from one person to another.
68. We may mention, as the first of the modes of acquiring particular things, occupation, i.e. the seizing on a thing which is
a res nullius, i.e. without an owner : land in an unoccupied Acquisition of country is a res nullius, so is a wild animal; if we rights over seize on, or, as we should say, occupy the land, or particular things. Occu- catch the wild animal, we gain our right over the patio.

of the thing. A further step was necessary. The thing must be handed over to the person who was, under the terms of the contract, to become the owner of it. This handing over was called traditio ; and a perfect traditio implied, first, that it was a real absolute owner, capable of alienating the thing, who transferred it, and secondly, that he placed the new proprietor in actual possession of the thing. 71. The above are termed natural modes of acquisition; but

only from the civil law. One is acquisition by gift. Strictly speaking, gift is not a peculiar mode of acquisition, but an acquisition by delivery with a particular motive for the transfer. Probably it was on account of the solemnities with which under Justinian gifts had to be made that gifts are treated in the Institutes as a special mode of acquisition. One special kind of gift was a donatio mortis causa, a gift to take effect in case of the death of the donor in the lifetime of the recipient. 72.

MIAMI – A day care center in downtown Miami closed voluntarily Tuesday after two children died of suspected meningitis this month, according to Florida Department of Health officials.
Dr. Alvaro Mejia-Echeverry, a medical epidemiologist with the state health department, confirmed that a 22-month-old boy died of pneumococcal meningitis on Dec. 3.
Officials said a second boy, a 2-year-old who attended the day care, died about a week later, but the cause of death has not been determined.
"They don't know yet if the deaths are related," said Jose Galan, an assistant director with Miami-Dade County, which owns the building.
The state health department wrote to parents of the YWCA Carol Glassman Donaldson Child Care Center last Thursday, warning that a child there had been recently diagnosis with meningitis. The letter did not disclose that the child had died. It also urged parents to seek medical attention if their children exhibited any symptoms.
The Florida Department of Health and the Florida Department of Children and Families planned to inspect the day care center. The center agreed not to reopen until it had been cleared by those agencies.
"We are devastated by the death of two small children who attended this child care facility and we continue to grieve with their families and loved ones," Beatriz Lopez, regional spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Children and Families, said in statement.

Biden or Trump Will Keep The Money Spigots Open / Stock-Markets / Quantitative Easing
Trump or Biden: who will be our next president? That's the most pressing question in America right now. And in less than nine weeks, we'll get our answer.
As I type, Biden leads in most polls. But betting markets say it's a coin flip. Polls tend to be wrong, and betting markets are usually right.
But I'm not writing you today to predict who'll come out on top. Or guess at what might change depending on who wins. (I'll leave that to the talking heads on TV.)Read full article... Read full article...

QE4EVER! / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing
Virtually everything that cannot be easily printed is rocketing higher which includes GOLD! It's not hard to see why as a consequence of rampant money printing by governments across the world in the wake of the Coronavirus Pandemic economic depression. For instance the UK alone looks set to print about £550 billion this year most of which will be monetized by the Bank of England so that the government can pay the wages of about 1/3rd of Britains workforce for a good 6 months with likely many more economic stimulus measures to follow over the next 6 months towards fighting the Pandemics dire economic consequences.
Whilst the United States has printed $2.2 trillion of stimulus dollars to date with at least another $1.3 trillion to come, that's $3.5 trillion which dwarfs the 2008 financial crisis bailout of $720 billion. Funneling stimulus checks on an epic scale into the back pockets of every working age citizen. Printing money has REAL consequences which is REAL inflation hence what we have been witnessing in markets across the spectrum, and whist I have yet to take a peak at the housing markets, I would not be surprised if the UK housing market at least will start to experience a money printing inflationary boom over the coming year, this despite the fact that people have less disposable income to buy housing, but more on that in a future article.Read full article...

The Bizarre Mathematics Of How Negative Interest Rates Create Stratospheric Profits / Stock-Markets / Quantitative Easing
There is an increasingly good chance that the United States could end up following Europe and Japan, and that the Federal Reserve could use its vast powers of monetary creation to force a move to negative interest rates.
If that deeply unnatural event happens, it will invert and distort the very foundations of investment pricing, in ways that are little understood by most investors today.
It will also - for a time - create an unnatural source of profits that most investors have no idea about, because it has never happened before in the United States (and is still in the early stages in the United Kingdom).Read full article... Read full article...

Fed Action Accelerates Boom-Bust Cycle; Not A Virus Crisis / Stock-Markets / Quantitative Easing
The 21st century was ushered in by fears about Y2k and how it might impact computer programming that was already in place. Part of the concern centered on the financial markets.
The Federal Reserve announced that they were ready to support the stock market and provide backup for financial institutions that might encounter difficulties.
The big day arrived and, other than an occasional glitch that seemed to be unrelated to the heightened global fears, the birth of the new century was pretty much uneventful. Overall, the markets remained relatively quiet. However, trouble was still brewing.Read full article... Read full article...

Quantitative INFLATION - Fed QE4EVER / Stock-Markets / Quantitative Easing
Once money printing starts it never ends! Instead what happens is any unwinding of central bank balance sheets tends to be temporary in advance of the next crisis which tends to send balance sheets through the roof. This has been my consistent message for the past 10 years since Quantitative INFLATION began in 2008! And so the corona crisis has seen the Fed once more flood the markets with liquidity buying up all sorts of assess left right and centre from junk bonds, to stocks of bankrupt corporations to of course government bonds, and when the buying is done the Fed will likely have DOUBLED it's balance sheet from $4.2 trillion a couple of months ago to approaching $9 trillion!Read full article...

Federal Reserve Funds 165% Of Record Pandemic Deficit Spending Through Monetary Creation / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing
Two extraordinary and unprecedented actions are being taken in the attempt to contain the economic damage from the national shutdown, and thereby attempt to prevent a depression. Each are on a scale we have never seen before, and each are almost certain to be very long lasting.
Even if the actions are "successful" - a depression is prevented and a severe recession is shortened - these radical actions occurring over a matter of months and years are not only likely to dominate our investments, savings and retirements throughout the rest of the 2020s, but they are likely to still be changing our lives decades from now, long after the COVID-19 pandemic has been forgotten by most.
Between the economic damage to the nation, the lost earnings and careers for individuals, and the costs of the containment of that damage, the shutdowns being used to "flatten the curve" are likely to be the single most expensive event in U.S. history. How the expenses of attempted containment are funded - will change everything, and the effects will stay with us for the rest of our lives.Read full article... Read full article...

Central Banklers Playing Taps For The Middle Class / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing
It is not at all a mystery as to the cause of the wealth gap that exists between the very rich and the poor. Central bankers are the primary cause of this chasm that is eroding the foundation of the global middle class. The world's poor are falling deeper into penury and at a faster pace, while the world's richest are accelerating further ahead. To this point, the 500 wealthiest billionaires on Earth added $1.2 trillion to their fortunes in 2019, boosting their collective net worth by 25%, to $5.9 trillion.Read full article...

The Fed Has Quietly Started QE4 / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing
In September of last year, something still unexplained happened in the "repo" short-term financing market. Liquidity dried up, interest rates spiked, and the Fed stepped in to save the day.
Story over? No. The Fed has had to keep saving the day, every day, since then.

Farewell Paul Volcker Hello Monetary Madness / Interest-Rates / Quantitative EasingGod bless Paul Volcker. He was truly a one of a kind central banker and we probably won't see another one like him ever again. It took his extreme bravery to crush the inflation caused by the monetary recklessness of Arthur Burns and the fiscal profligacy of Presidents Johnson & Nixon. Raising interest rates to 20% by March 1980 was wildly unpopular at the time. But in the end, it was what the nation needed and paved the way for a long period of economic stability and prosperity.
Back in 1971 the world fully had developed a new monetary "technology". Governments learned that money need no longer be representative of prior efforts, or energy expended, or previous production, or have any real value whatsoever. It can be just created by a monetary magic wand; and done so without any baneful economic consequences.

Central Planners: Out of Room and Running Out of Time / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing
One would have to place their trust in unicorns, sasquatch, leprechauns, and the tooth fairy to believe the current economic construct is sustainable. You also need to be woefully ignorant of history. In fact, there has never been a nation that engaged in massive debt monetization and did not eventually face hyperinflation, depression, and mass chaos. There is simply no such thing as magic, and you can't build an economy on the foundation of debt, asset bubbles, and unlimited fiat money printing.
Perhaps the reason why the market hasn't imploded yet is that the developed world has coordinated this so-called "strategy" of unbridled central bank lunacy to engage in permanent ZIRP and QE. Therefore, a currency crisis has been averted so far. However, now that these money printers have gone all-in, the next recession or freeze-up in credit markets cannot be averted by a dovish turnaround in monetary policies, as governments already have the gas pedal to the monetary and fiscal floor. The globe now has $255 trillion in debt, and the U.S alone is adding one trillion to that pile each year. The Fed is back in QE, along with the ECB and BOJ. And, no central bank in the developed world has room any longer to cut rates enough to boost consumption.Read full article... Read full article...

Fed's Own Forecasts Again Dead Wrong as QE4 Accelerates / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing
Precious metals markets enter November's trading with bulls eying a potential year-end rally.
Gold and silver prices did manage to post gains on Wednesday and Thursday after the Federal Reserve announced a quarter point rate cut. But the Fed followed up its move with language suggesting interest rate policy is now on pause.
News Anchor #1: The Federal Reserve cut the benchmark rate by a quarter of a percentage point. It's now at 1.5% to 1.75%. The rate cuts come on a global slowdown; they say. Also muted inflation. Now the Fed does signal in this statement a pause for future rate cuts. The Federal Reserve statement changes the words from "act as appropriate" to "assess."Read full article... Read full article...

The Fed's "Not QE" Is Morphing into "QE4ever" / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing
Another week, another new and expanded repo market intervention by the Federal Reserve. On Thursday, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York intervened twice with fresh liquidity injections. Fed officials raised their offerings for overnight repos up from $75 billion to a staggering $120 billion.
This comes on top of the $60 billion per month in Treasury bill purchases that will extend well into next year and possibly beyond. Over the past month alone, the Fed's balance sheet has soared by $200 billion.
You might think numbers like these should be quite alarming to investors and to anyone who holds U.S. dollars. But the strange thing about these Fed interventions is that hardly anyone seems alarmed. There's no sense of rising risk being priced into the stock market. And the mainstream media is barely even mentioning these massive transfers of paper wealth.Read full article...

Federal Reserve's New QE Transfers Wealth to Its Owner Banks / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing
Metals investors are positioning themselves for rapidly developing political and geopolitical events, as well as a rapidly expanding Federal Reserve balance sheet.
What started out as a limited intervention to provide temporary liquidity to overnight lending markets has morphed into a massive $60-billion-per-month Treasury-buying campaign. By some measures, it's even bigger than the last Quantitative Easing program.
The Fed has yet to fully explain why this is all necessary given the lack of an immediate crisis in the real economy. Last week, Fed chair Jerome Powell took great pains to insist that their expanded repo market operations are "not QE" – only to announce a massive new Treasury bill buying program on Friday.Read full article...

This Is Not a Money Printing Press / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing
Rene Magritte's 1929 painting "The Treachery of Images," depicts a tobacco pipe with a caption that reads "Ceci n'est pas une pipe," (French for "This is not a pipe"). Everyone who has taken a course in modern art knows that Magritte's exercise in contradiction was meant to draw a distinction between a real thing and a representation of that thing. Perhaps we should send Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell a beret and an easel as he is attempting a similarly surrealistic take on monetary policy.
Early last week, the Chairman announced a new, as yet unnamed, Fed program through which the bank will now buy regular amounts of short-term U.S. government debt. Seeking to counter the rumblings that a new form of quantitative easing would be seen as an admission that the economy may be in trouble, Chairman Powell asserted during the annual meeting of NABE on October 8, "This is not QE. In no sense is this QE". In other words, "Ceci n'est pas QE."Read full article... Read full article...

Global Central Banks Move To Keep The Party Rolling Onward / Stock-Markets / Quantitative Easing
The recent news that the US Fed, China and many of the global central banks are continuing to make efforts to lower rates and spark further consumer spending and economic activity is reminiscent of the late 2010~2013 global economic recovery efforts. This was a time when the economy was much slower than current levels and when central banks were doing everything possible to attempt to raise consumer and business activity related to capital.
The world's governments and banks operate on a very simple premise – transactions and economic activity must continue to operate within a fairly standard range of consistency in order for tax revenues and transactional fees to drive profits/income. If extended periods of economic contraction persist, the capacity to function within standard operating parameters diminishes very quickly for these institutions. A -5% to -10% contraction in asset values, transactional business, tax revenues and/or consumer activity over an extended period of time could result in a catastrophic set of events taking place.Read full article...

US Fed Infinite QE Forever at Zero Bound / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing
The widespread profound and recognized global recession, complete with numerous icon corporate failures, will lead the US Federal Reserve to return to unlimited Quantitative Easing with a Zero Percent chaser. The Jackass calls it a return to Infinite QE Forever at the Zero Bound. Not only is the double step of return to QE with a sequence of interest rate cuts urgently necessary, but the financial markets are demanding it. In fact, they are holding the USFed hostage, as the venerable august body is backed into a policy corner. This time seems different. For ten years, the USFed has relied upon coordinated policy with the Euro Central Bank, having used all the most extreme measures, yet has a systemic failure on its hands. Witness extreme monetary policy failure. The systemic failure is both financial and economic. The bond purchase program wrecked the bond market by driving away legitimate investors, while the ultra-low interest rates wrecked the economy by distorting asset allocation.Read full article...

We Are in for Decades of Ultra-Loose Monetary Policy / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing
President Trump recently nominated Judy Shelton to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. She is the United States director for the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which I had never heard of until her nomination.
Shelton is a Republican and believes in the adoption of a gold standard. She currently believes in lowering interest rates, after spending the Obama years criticizing the Fed for lowering interest rates.
You may wonder how a person can be in favor of a gold standard and also for lowering interest rates at the same time.
I am wondering that, too.

Trump Calls for New Quantitative Easing to Prop Up U.S. Economy / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing
As gold and silver markets continue in choppy trading this spring, bulls are hoping a dovish Fed will sink the dollar and lift the metals.
Now that the Federal Reserve is on "pause" – presumably for the rest of 2019 – perhaps investors can stop obsessing over interest rate decisions by central planners. Perhaps markets can finally trade based on actual market signals and underlying fundamentals.
Perhaps ... not.
With 2020 election campaigns already underway, interest rate policy will be a political football in the months ahead. Incumbent administrations almost always favor lower interest rates heading into their re-election bids, and this one is no exception.

Perception of Powell Put in Place – QE4 Looms / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing
By Murray Gunn
For better or worse, the markets perceive that Fed chairman Powell has showed his hand.
The recent Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) minutes of the January meeting revealed almost unanimous agreement to announce a plan soon for ending the Fed's policy of balance sheet reduction. This is the first step in an inevitable march towards the fourth round of quantitative easing (QE4).Read full article... Read full article...

John Convertino and Joey Burns have played together for so long in so many contexts--behind Victoria Williams, Richard Buckner, Barbara Manning, Lisa Germano, and Giant Sand mastermind Howe Gelb as well as in their own band, Calexico--that they can each turn on a dime while it's still in the other's pocket. Their virtuosity lets them move through styles and songs with an easy grace that's missing from much complexity rock these days. They belong to a short list of indie rockers who sound like they come from somewhere--Calexico is to Tucson as Sonic Youth is to New York--and in this chain-store world, those cultural and geographical markers get more precious every day. But there's more to it--or else the resonance would fade the farther from home base they got. Calexico's intricate canyons and arroyos are about the southwest like Jack Kerouac's writing was about road trips: the spare, smoky, elegant tunes on their third full-length, Hot Rail (Quarterstick), take Tex-Mex and mariachi, Morricone and Satie, honky-tonk and Latin jazz, Stereolab and Scott Walker and arrange them in the desert sun to melt together in intriguing new patterns. It's been said that Calexico records sound like sound tracks to films not yet made, but I think the sense of story is already implicit, and that visuals would be gratuitous. One caveat: This is the Empty Bottle's annual Customer Appreciation Night. The bar is giving away 250 free tickets, first-come, first-serve, so I'm sure the show will be packed. And I can tell you from personal experience that this band is not heard to best advantage in a sardine tin full of noisy drunks. Friday, 10 PM, Empty Bottle, 1035 N. Western; 773-276-3600.

The tradition of baking a tiny baby Jesus inside is intriguing, some might call it charming. What blew me away is that King Cake has fallen victim to lawsuits.
Dear Reader, I am so blessed to have two godly women as office roomies who are crazy about Jesus. I looked at my friend Rosie, and asked incredulously, "People are choking on Baby Jesus?"
She assured me it was true. I thought about that for a minute.
And you know what, Dear Reader? I think a lot of us choke on Jesus somewhere along the way. Whether we're running after Him, or away, there are times when faith can be just plain hard.
Here's the down and dirty (at least from my point of view). It doesn't matter how we try to dislodge Jesus when He "sticks in our craw", up, out, or through. Jesus doesn't change.
He doesn't change. He doesn't stop doing whatever it takes to remind us of that, or to get our attention. JESUS NEVER STOPS LOVING US.
13 Your kingdom will never end;
Your rule will endure forever.
[You are faithful to Your promise,
and Your acts are marked with grace.][a]
14 The Eternal sustains all who stumble on their way.
For those who are broken down, God is near. He raises them up in hope.
Psalm 145: 13-14 VOICE
The Lord does whatever it takes to get our attention, even letting us "choke on Jesus". Throughout His Word, He also promises to bless us when we're obedient and faithful. This is one of my favorites.
All of the following blessings will be yours—in fact, they'll chase after you—if you'll listen to what He tells you.
Deuteronomy 28:2 VOICE

A pledge Yahoo made 10 years ago to help imprisoned Chinese dissidents has resulted in millions of dollars wasted, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday.
The lawsuit comes from several Chinese dissidents who were supposed to benefit from a trust fund Yahoo established back in 2007. At the time, the internet company had faced a backlash for handing over emails to the Chinese government, with the cooperation leading to the jailing of a Chinese journalist and an engineer who called for democratic reform.
To address the controversy, Yahoo paid US$17.3 million to establish a trust fund devoted to helping imprisoned Chinese dissidents. However, since then, the fund has been embroiled in ongoing allegations that it mismanaged the money.

MightyFine Welsh Rarebit
Our pimped up versions of a classic cheese toasty in honour of St Davids Day and a comfort food classic…
You will need
100g of good strong grated cheese of the cheddar type
100g of creme fraiche
2 egg yolks
40 ml (about 4 desert spoons) MightyFineThings Sweet Chilli & Honey Sauce
Four slices of decent bread that toasts well – white sourdough is our favourite for this one.
First off pop your egg yolks and creme fraiche into a bowl and mix with a fork to combine. Add the grated cheese and mix again. Finally add the Sweet Chilli & Honey Sauce. nb – If you prefer a bit more of a zing go for ginger, sweeter tooth, try Mango…
Then toast your bread in toaster or grill and – if its not on already – get the grill heated up. If you're up to multi-tasking this could be going on while you're sorting the cheesey bit.
Pop a dollop of the cheese and chilli mix onto each bit of toast, spread it edge to edge, pop it under the heated grill and keep your eye on it while it bubbles away – tip put some foil underneath as can be messy and the drippy edge bits taste much better from clean foil than the dirty grill pan (just sayin'). Once it's cooked to your liking, we like a few crispy burnt bits, whip it out from under the grill and you're ready to go. Nice with a dash of Worcester Sauce if you've got it.

text: Introduction. The abbreviation "STUMPs" indicates the smooth uterine muscle of uncertain malignant potential tumors, in the group of uterine smooth muscle tumors (SMTs) that cannot be diagnosed unequivocally as benign or malignant. The diagnosis, medical approach and follow-up of this pathology are still controversial. Materials and method. We reviewed the medical databases using the MeSH words "STUMPs", "smooth uterine muscle tumors" or "SMTs" to highlight the most important papers on this topic. Results. The literature research revealed 162 articles about STUMPs. The majority are case reports or case series, including less than 10 patients with long-term follow up. The preoperative imaging for STUMP diagnosis or differentiation from leiomyoma-leiomyosarcoma is difficult. The preoperative sonographic tumors appear in 83.3% of cases with well-defined margins, 66.7% hyperechoic, 100% heterogeneous and 66.7% of cases with acoustic shadowing. The patient's age, fertility desire, imagistic characteristics, size and location of the tumor should be considered before the procedure. The pathologic features expressed a mean number of mitosis about 8, mild atypia in almost 66.7% of cases and necrosis in 33.3% of cases. The recurrence rate after myomectomy was 6.6%. STUMP diagnosis can be managed as a second myomectomy or hysterectomy. Other treatment options for recurrence include adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy and progestins GnRH analogs. Conclusions. STUMP is classified as an intermediate pathological form of uterine tumors, between benign and malignant. Metastases after many years from the initial approach can appear, thus the patients diagnosed with STUMP should be followed on the long term.

Bobby Jindal's Indian-American comment backfires after campaign launch
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination in 2016, becoming the first Indian-American politician to run for the highest office in the nation.
But comments he made during his initial campaign launch on Wednesday have critics slamming him for what some say is an attempt to distance himself from his Indian heritage.
As he officially threw his hat into the ring for the Republican nomination, he said was "done with" describing Americans by their origin or ethnicity. Both of Jindal's parents are Indian immigrants.
"We are not Indian-Americans, African-Americans, Irish-Americans, rich Americans, or poor Americans. We are all Americans," said Jindal, during his campaign launch in New Orleans.
People quickly took issue with his remarks, with some, including Silicon Valley Actor Kumail Nanjiani, making fun of Jindal.
Hey guys. My people are looking to trade Bobby Jindal. In return we'll take literally anything.
— Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) June 25, 2015
Jindal was raised a Hindu but converted to Catholicism as a teenager. He is competing for the evangelical vote with other candidates, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
The hashtag #BobbyJindalIsSoWhite began trending in India on Thursday.
U might be a #Jindian if u r the son of immigrants who is anti-immigrant. #bobbyjindalissowhite @harikondabolu @ShaifaliP
— aasif mandvi (@aasif) June 24, 2015
He thinks samosas are Girl Scout cookies. #BobbyJindalissowhite @aasif
— Dan Mannella (@DanMannella) June 25, 2015
If Bobby Jindal chooses not to identify with his Indian roots, that is his choice
And making fun of him is our choice #BobbyJindalIsSoWhite
— The Bad Doctor (@doctoratlarge) June 25, 2015
#BobbyJindalIsSoWhite that he couldn't win a spelling bee if he tried.
— Priti (@pritiriyer) June 25, 2015
It's not the first time that Jindal has commented on how he sees his racial identify.
During a speech in London in January, Jindal said his parents wanted their children to become fully American when they immigrated to the U.S.
"My dad and mom told my brother and me that we came to America to be Americans. Not Indian-Americans, simply Americans. If we wanted to be Indians, we would have stayed in India," he said.
"I am not suggesting for one second that people should be shy or embarrassed about their ethnic heritage," said Jindal. "But I am explicitly saying that it is completely reasonable for nations to discriminate between allowing people into their country who want to embrace their culture, or allowing people into their country who want to destroy their culture, or establish a separate culture within."
A path to a GOP primary victory appears a difficult road for Jindal. Republican candidate debates begin in August and it's unclear if he will make the cut, based on his standing in national polls.

National prosecutors are to step up their efforts to investigate misconduct among officials in food safety-related crimes, the Supreme People's Procuratorate said on Wednesday [5 August 2015]. "Contaminated and harmful food will seriously harm people's health, undermine economic order because it is sold much cheaper, and affect social stability. We will resolutely fight against such crimes," SPP spokeswoman Xiao Wei said during a news conference on Wednesday. She said national prosecuting departments began a two-year campaign in March to target any corrupt officials found to be involved in food-safety crimes and punish them severely according to the law…Full Article: China Daily Aug 2015
Key Points
- In February 2015, China arrested eight individuals for the production and sale of illicit milk powder (i.e. infant formula). The individuals manufactured the product by using milk powder from Inner Mongolia and repackaging it as well-known foreign brands.
- From May 2014 to April 2015, according to the SPP, 3,726 individuals were arrested for the production and sale of illicit food. This figure was a 136% increase from the previous time period (May 2013 to April 2014).
ChinaAg Comments
- In May 2015, the production licenses of milk powder producers in the provinces of Shanxi and Hunan were revoked as a result of food safety violations.
- The Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) is China's top national procuratorial (i.e. prosecution and investigation) agency and reports directly the National People's Congress and its Standing Committee. As of mid-2015, the SPP was headed by Cao Jianming (appointed Procurator-General in 2008).

Cultural Proficiency & Inclusiveness in AISD
Cultural Proficiency is when an adult understands that their personal culture and background impacts the students they work with. Inclusiveness is a way of being that shows respect, understanding and acceptance; in which diversity is valued as an asset within the AISD community. This page is designed as a Cultural Proficiency and Inclusiveness clearinghouse for the AISD staff community.
Established in Austin ISD in 2010–11, Cultural Proficiency and Inclusiveness works to embed depth of thought and action among adult educators. The goal of Cultural Proficiency and Inclusiveness is to embed CP&I into the work of the school district, and to provide professional learning sessions on how to interact with students and their families in a manner that considers the diverse needs of all. Please review the CP&I Development Timeline in Austin ISD (PDF).
Embed CP&I into the work of the school district.
Provide ongoing, meaningful professional learning opportunities for AISD staff to engage in critical self-reflection on their interaction with students and their families in a manner that considers the diverse needs of all.

Tracking Dinosaurs is the first non-technical, popular science book on dinosaur footprints and what they reveal about dinosaurs and their habitats. Billions of dinosaur tracks have been found in recent years and through careful examination of these prehistoric clues, dinosaur trackers have discovered much about how and where dinosaurs lived. This book deals with this landslide of new information that has accumulated in recent decades, demonstrating that fossil footprints are neither rare nor insignificant as previously supposed. A complete guide to dinosaur tracking, the book begins with a discussion of the meaning of tracks, how tracks provide information about dinosaur locomotion, behaviour, ecology and environmental impact. The accessible writing style and numerous illustrations, including eight pages of colour photographs, make this book appropriate for all people with a general interest in science and natural history.

Charles J. Fox
Charles J. Fox, C. E., San Diego. No man has been more closely
identified with San Diego County during the past eighteen years, and no
name is better known to the early settlers and later residents, than that
of Charles J. Fox. Mr. Fox was born in Boston, Massachusetts, October 12,
1834. He comes of a noted family and can trace his lineage back to 1640,
when his ancestors settled in Massachusetts. Five generations back on his
mother's side, Wheelock, the head of the family, was the founder and first
president of Dartmouth College, where his portrait hangs in the art
gallery, and Mr. Fox's father, grandfather and great-grandfather were
graduates of that famous institution of learning.
He was one of the incorporators of the San Diego Society of Natural
History, and for ten years its treasurer; also one of the stockholders of
the Masonic Building Association, and a director for several years; also
one of the charter members of the San Diego Lodge, Knights of Pythias,
serving a term as Chancellor Commander. He was in charge of surveys for
the Memphis & El Paso Railroad, the San Diego & Los Angeles Railroad, and
the Texas & Pacific, being the first engineer to call attention to and
survey through the famous Temécula canon, now occupied by the California
