The Track to Modernity
In a century of riotous change, the railroad's standardization of time stood out as a challenge to both nature and democracy
"The American boy of 1854 stood closer to the year 1 than to the year 1900."
For the last year I have been trying to elongate Adams's apothegm into a book. Change is my subject. "The historian, by the very nature of his task, must be concerned with change" Alfred D. Chandler Jr., the Pulitzer Prize-winning business historian, has written. "What made for change? Why did it come when it did, and in the way it did?" Business made for both the most palpable and the deepest-running changes in post-Civil War America, or so I will argue. It was the age of incorporation. The corporation, in Pauline Maier's words, was "the most significant form of collectivism to emerge from the [American] Revolution." Men turned to it when their dreams outstripped their means, pooling their resources in corporations to achieve collectively what they could not achieve individually. The cardinal achievement of the corporation in the nineteenth century was the conquest of American space. In 1841 to ship textiles from Concord, New Hampshire, to Boston via flat boat on the Merrimack River and the Middlesex Canal took four days. In 1842, with the extension to Concord of the Boston and Lowell railroad, it took four hours. Railroads, to use a phrase that came into vogue in the 1830s, "annihilated space." As I discovered in my researches, they did something nearly as dramatic to time. In Keeping Watch: A History of Time in America Michael O'Malley tells this story in delicious detail, and using his book and others, augmented by contemporary newspaper accounts in The Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, I retell it here.
On November 18, 1883, at noon, U.S. railroad corporations unified American time. Nineteenth century America was a temporal wilderness. In the 1850s Americans set their watches in as many as a hundred local times. Wisconsin alone had thirty-eight, Illinois twenty-seven, Indiana twenty-three. When it was noon in Chicago it was 11:27 in Omaha, 11:50 in St. Louis, 12:09 in Louisville, and 12:31 in Pittsburgh. Nine A.M. arrived thirty seconds earlier in Oakland than it did across the bay in San Francisco. In Kansas City jewelers competed in times, posting their nominees for noon, which varied by as much as twenty minutes. Punctuality was negotiable in Kansas City. An 1883 railway gazetteer included time conversion tables for more than 8000 stations. Fingers plowed the ink off dark columns of type, plotting a route across the temporal Babel. To depart a station under Time A for a station under Time B hoping to connect with another railroad operating under Time C required faith in the providence of algebra. Yet, perhaps because few traveled far, most Americans found this time-quilt tolerable, and many cherished it. They took nature's word for time, and nature said it was noon when the sun was directly overhead, at times that differed with locations. Town clocks, to be sure, were set not by sun dials but by almanacs that averaged the sun's variations over months and years. A scattering of localities rented astronomically precise time from observatories, who wired them through Western Union. These innovations only wedded time the more exactly to place. "[I]t would appear to be as difficult to alter by edict the ideas and habits of the people in regard to local time," a U.S. Senate report concluded in 1882, "as it would be to introduce among them novel systems of weights [and] measures...." The Senate did not reckon with a self-sovereign power that, having "annihilated space," sought dominion over time in the name of safety and convenience. The sun told time from Genesis to 12:00 on November 18, 1883, when the railroads imposed standard time as if "ideas" and "habits" held forever were debris on the track to modernity. "The sun is no longer to boss the job," the Indianapolis Centennial lamented. "People—55 million of them—must eat, sleep, and work as well as travel by railroad time.... The sun will be requested to rise and set by railroad time. The planets must, in the future, make their circuits by such timetables as railroad magnates arrange." The railroad magnates rode the mystique of progress. With the founding of the Greenwich observatory in 1848, a world-wide movement to standardize time in zones of longitude gained momentum among scientists and other apostles of the future. That Greenwich promoted itself as the "prime meridian" consternated the French, who wanted Paris to hold that title. American time chauvinists likewise objected to "John Bull's time." The railroads themselves only slowly came round to the idea. Rate wars got in the way. But as competition yielded to consolidation, resistance weakened.
Standard time's advantages were made vivid to railroad managers at an 1883 Railway Time Convention when William Allen, the editor of the Traveler's Official Guide to railways, put two maps on display. One depicted the prevailing fifty different times in a fling of colors. The other showed four bands of color, north to south, 15 degrees of longitude apart. Here, Allen said of the old map, depicted in the clashing hues of competition, is "the barbarism of the past." The new map, a consolidated rainbow, represented "the enlightenment we hope for in the future." No more mind-taxing schedules; no more head-on collisions of trains operating in clashing times; no more time chaos. The delegates left persuaded. They made scant effort to persuade the country, however, announcing they were altering the pulse of the universe mere weeks ahead of the event. On November 17 city jewelers, The New York Times reported, "were busy answering questions from the curious, who seemed to think that the change in time would ... create a sensation ... some sort of disaster, the nature of which could not be exactly ascertained." When Britain adopted the reformed Gregorian calendar in 1752 a mob gathered outside Parliament demanding, "Give us back our eleven days!" By contrast, standard time was imposed on the United States without immediate protest. At Chicago's West Side Union Depot on November 18 the master clock was stopped at 12:00 waiting for the railroad-decreed noon, which arrived, via telegraph, nine minutes and thirty-two seconds later. "Have you the new time?" strangers asked each other on the city's streets.
Railroads had long since accelerated the tempo of life. But the speed-up captured by cliches like "on time" and "on the tick" and "on the clocker" had occurred gradually, and under the cover of celebration. Standard time focused a delayed ambivalence. "Damn Vanderbilt's time! We want God's time," one old party fleered at a railroad time consultant. Many non-codgers felt the same way. Told that his train left at eight o'clock "standard" time, a Pennsylvania Irishman replied, "Well that settles it." Settles what? asked the conductor. "Why, the whole of it. They've got the time now. They'll be gittin' the wind next," he said, conflating standard time with Standard Oil but capturing the commanding power they had in common. Pittsburgh banned standard time until 1887. Augusta and Savannah held out until 1888. In Ohio, city after city balked. When the Bellaire, Ohio, school board voted to adopt standard time, the city council had the board arrested. The mayor of Bangor, Maine, vetoed a time-altering resolution passed by the city council. Any change "that disarms the customs of people handed down from time immemorial," he argued, "should at least have the sanction of the State legislature." In Washington the attorney general ordered federal employees to conduct business on un-reconstructed time. The railroads could not force government into adopting their standard. That would take an act of Congress, which came only in 1918. Standardizing time challenged both nature and democracy. "The system adopted by you," William Allen boasted to the railroad managers at their next meeting, "now governs the daily and hourly actions of at least fifty million people." His verb was revealing. Who elected the railroads to govern? "Today the 75th meridian is standard because the railroad kings have ordered it," one congressman declared. "Tomorrow the railroads may make it the 76th, or the 80th." Let the people decide, he said. Put time to a vote. Private enterprise had done more than change a universal. Standard time, The New York Herald observed, "goes beyond the public pursuits of men and enters into their private lives as part of themselves." In Keeping Watch Michael O'Malley explains, "Once individuals experienced time as a relationship between God and nature. Henceforth, under the railroad standards, men and women would measure themselves in relation to a publicly defined time based on synchronized clocks." They already measured space in time, railroads having got them used to collapsing miles into minutes. "[T]he real distance between New York and Philadelphia," a writer in Niles Weekly Register noted in 1848, when the miracle was still wet, "...is just the same as it was a hundred years ago,—but the relative distance is changed from seven days to seven hours." This feat invited giddy generalization. Railroads, the writer continued, had "changed the very nature of 'circumstances and time.'" A modern historian is hardly less sober on the social effects of the railroad's twin conquests: "No American ... was immune to these changes. Even if he were outside the market economy, his habits of mind, the way he looked at his world, his very character, changed radically." Julius Caesar regularized the calendar in 46 BC. Pope Gregory XIII reformed it in 1582. King George subtracted eleven days from the British calendar in the eighteenth century. The railroad corporation collapsed space and remapped time in the nineteenth century—"signal proof," to a Nebraska editor, that the railroads "are the most potent factors of our progressive civilization." He marveled that "In a quarter of a century, they have made the people of the country homogenous, breaking through the ... provincialisms which marked separate and unmingling sections." The railroads, he was proposing, had knit a broken Union together—a Union in their time and on their terms. From November 18, 1883, the phrase "corporate America" meant everything it said.

Wedding photography can be a tough gig. Thankfully, I love being a Sheffield wedding photographer & I feel blessed every time I am a part of someone’s special day! If I didn’t love being a UK wedding photographer I wouldn’t be doing it. There is a lot of pressure on your shoulders to get it right, not mess it up & to prove to your couples that they made the right decision to hire you.
I don’t want to just photograph your wedding though. I want to document it. I want to show you all the emotions that other people expressed when you didn’t see them. I want to show you those funny moments that happened between your guests that you weren’t a part of. I want to show you that emotions & love, no matter how cool or trendy your wedding is / was will never fade.
Pom poms & giant balloons with confetti in may go out of trend, but those moments – laughter, love, tears & raw emotion will never age.
Don’t get me wrong, I adore photographing details in weddings. Wedding days that have lots of little personal details to them that really showcase you as a couple are awesome, but don’t stress it if you can’t stretch your budget to get those copper goblets or some hay bales for people to sit on. Don’t stress it if your budget doesn’t stretch to get those flowers to fill the venue from ceiling to floor.
The details always seem so important in the planning stage. Although they play a part of making your day look like it does it isn’t those moments that you will want to look at when you are feeling emotional. When you want to look back on the people that shared your magical day with you.
It’s the shared glance between your parents or your best friends or your siblings as you exchange vows. The person crying into a tissue during the speeches. That shocked look on someone’s face during a raunchy joke in a speech. It’s the moments when they thought I wasn’t there when they share a kiss or a joke with other – I could go on for a very long time, but you get the idea of where I am going with this. Documentary wedding photography like this allows you a window straight back to that moment.
As a documentary wedding photographer, I will of course photograph every inch of those stunning details you put into your day & I will enjoy every moment of it. However, what trumps the details for me is the moments. The real, raw emotion filled moments that happen when you are there & sometimes when you are not.
I want to document the love. Love is awesome. Love never goes out of fashion.
If you are still looking for a Sheffield wedding photographer & you love the documentary style of wedding photography then get in touch! I photograph weddings not only in Sheffield but all over the Uk & destination weddings.

The Pontville detention centre north of Hobart is being reopened to process asylum seekers.
Immigration Minister Chris Bowen has announced the reopening because of the influx of asylum seekers.
The Federal Government closed the centre in March despite spending almost $15 million on a refurbishment.
Tasmanian Premier Lara Giddings has welcomed the re-opening.
She says the facility will bring significant economic and social benefits to the state.
"Ideally, we would not want to see asylum seekers kept behind barbed wire, but it is a credit to staff, including many locals, that this centre developed a strong reputation for humanitarian treatment after only a short period of time," she said.
"While immigration policy is a Commonwealth Government responsibility, I will be seeking assurances that detainees continue to be treated humanely and that their applications for asylum are processed as quickly as possible."
The centre, 27 kilometres north of Hobart, is expected to first hold single men and they could arrive by Christmas.
The local council has welcomed the reopening.
The centre provided 230 full-time jobs when it operated last year.
Brighton's deputy mayor Geoff Taylor says he hopes the reopening will lead to new job opportunities.
"I hope if we go back into it they will give us, the businesses, a little bit as far as employment goes," he said.
Tasmanian Liberal Senator Stephen Parry is telling locals not to get their hopes up.
"This could close again in another few months."
He says a Coalition Government would close mainland detention centres and process all asylum claims offshore.
The Federal Government is also expanding the capacity of a Melbourne facility.

This week, we spotlight Tony-nominated actress Ann Hampton Callaway by combining two Playbill.com features, Diva Talk and Their Favorite Things, which asks members of the theatre community to share the Broadway performances that most affected them as part of the audience.
Callaway, who recently revisited her first concert collaboration with sister Liz Callaway — Sibling Revelry at 54 Below — will bring her evening of Streisand tunes to the South Orange Performing Arts Center this weekend. Entitled Ann Hampton Callaway Sings The Streisand Songbook, the Sept. 28 concert will begin at 8 PM, and attendees can expect to hear Callaway's interpretations of such Streisand classics as "Cry Me a River," "The Way We Were," "Somewhere," "Don't Rain on My Parade" and "People" as well as such titles as "A Sleepin' Bee," "Starting Here, Starting Now," "A Cockeyed Optimist" and more.
Callaway, who in the past decade has become one of the great song interpreters of her generation, explained the genesis of her critically acclaimed tribute to the international star. "Sometimes inspiration demands audacity, and that's what it took to create The Streisand Songbook," Callaway said. "I was approached a few years ago to put together a tribute to perhaps the greatest singer of our time, and I was reluctant to do something so ambitious that might invite comparison. There's only one Streisand. However, in revisiting the idea, I thought about concentrating the focus on the writers she loved — Arlen, Styne, Sondheim, etc. — and also my experience of writing songs for her, and suddenly it seemed exciting and worthy of doing.
"I chose songs carefully to paint a portrait of Barbara's career and her personality, but each song had to be something I also needed to sing," the multiple MAC Award winner continued. "It had to pass the Ann test for reflecting something I believed in and something I could put a personal stamp of my own on. I worked tirelessly on my arrangements of these songs, including my original 'At the Same Time,' and then approached the top orchestrators, many who have worked with Streisand, like Jonathan Tunick and Don Sebesky. My premiere of the show was with Keith Lockhart and The Boston Pops with my special guest, Alan Bergman. [It was] thrilling and illuminating … to speak to Alan and [his wife] Marilyn about writing for and working with Barbra." The subsequent run of the Streisand tribute at 54 Below garnered Callaway two Broadwayworld.com Awards and a MAC Award for Best Show of the Year.
Callaway said her "sentimental favorite" Streisand performance is her work in the "Funny Girl" film. "Barbra's comedic and dramatic brilliance makes for one of the finest musical theatre performances on stage or screen," Callaway explained. "When I saw this movie as a young aspiring performer, I realized how high she set the bar of artistic excellence, and I've been trying to reach it ever since. The crown jewel of the movie is her live singing of 'My Man' — her idea — and it makes for unprecidented emotional vulnerability in a movie musical. I could watch that movie every day and find something new to love about her performance."
Tickets for Ann Hampton Callaway Sings The Streisand Songbook are priced $35-$55. Click here for more information. Click here for Callaway's complete tour itinerary.

I guess with the SRT-4 Engine, you would almost have your choice of how you mounted the engine. You could do it longitidunal, but then you'd need a transmission that mounted to the back and has the 1/2 shafts come out the sides. LH trans' do this, but they're not rated for much over 250hp. Plus, being automatic, they have a torque converter (which would mean the SRT-4 engine would require a different flywheel).
I think the easiest setup would be to try to cram an SRT-4 engine w/ 5-speed trans. into the intrepid engine bay as a transverse setup. To do this, you would need custom engine/trans mounts, custom shifter linkage, computer reprogramming (if that's possible) and basically a lot of work. I would say to modify the stock internals of the intrepid already, except you still have the trans. weakness problem.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Board Comments on Governor Ivey’s Statement Regarding Thomasville
Montgomery, AL- In response to Governor Ivey’s statement concerning the
Agency’s Thomasville Transition Facility, the Board of Pardons and Paroles
submits the attached comment for release.
The Board of Pardons & Paroles is attentive to the concerns of Thomasville residents. We also
realize that these concerns arose several months ago because of a previous incident. We have been
working diligently with the State Finance and Purchasing Departments to increase security measures at
the L.I.F.E. Tech facility as requested by Thomasville Mayor Sheldon Day and Governor Ivey. We
recognize that the delay in obtaining the necessary state contracts for these measures has been
inexcusable to the people of Thomasville and surrounding communities and their leaders. Over the last
24 hours, we have been working diligently with State Finance and Purchasing Directors under the
supervision and approval of Governor Ivey to respond urgently to these concerns.
As of today, GPS electronic monitoring equipment and service has been purchased and will be available
to add an additional layer of security to our L.I.F.E. Tech Thomasville re-entry facility within the next 7-
14 days. Formal approval of a full perimeter fence for L.I.F.E. Tech has been obtained. We expect this
project to move to construction very soon. These purchases have been made possible through the
immediate assistance of these departments and Governor Ivey’s swift approval to get necessary
contracts completed through special emergency procedures. The concerns of Thomasville and
surrounding communities are our primary focus as we work to bring these new security measures online
as expeditiously as possible.
Our agency’s leaders will be accessible to Thomasville leaders throughout this process in the days and
weeks ahead as we work together to address citizen concerns.
Finally, we will continue open communication with the Governor’s office and each of these departments
to prevent the occurrence of similar delays in the future.


Rain in Karnataka will keep schools and institutions closed today, and the IMD has issued a flash flood warning.
After severe rains pounded the southern state of Karnataka, resulting in fatalities and house collapses, authorities have declared a holiday for Wednesday in all schools and institutions in the susceptible areas. In various coastal and northern interior Karnataka areas, the weather office has also issued flash flood warnings.
The Chief Minister's Office issued a statement in which it was stated that "District Commissioners have declared holidays for schools and institutions in the susceptible regions and it is advised for all citizens to heed to local administration's directives."
According to a report by the news agency ANI, it also stated that the administration has assessed the risk-prone locations and is well-prepared to handle the scenario.
Coastal Karnataka and North Interior Karnataka may experience flash floods, according to a flash flood bulletin released by the Indian Meteorological Department.
The weather service predicted on Tuesday that coastal Karnataka would receive heavy to extremely heavy rains on July 26. Also, a red alert has been issued for the Kalburagi district.
An official announcement made by the Kalaburagi district government states that all schools and Anganwadi centres would be closed on July 26 as a precaution.
Meanwhile, as the monsoon rains in Karnataka continued to cause havoc, water from the Cauvery River reached several low-lying regions of the Kodagu district and alarmed the locals, according to officials on Tuesday, ANI said.
Severe rains in Karnataka's Kodagu district caused the Cauvery to overflow, enter some of the district's low-lying districts, and worry the inhabitants.
The district government recommended all inhabitants living downstream and alongside the river to move to safer regions as a precaution.
The authorities said on Tuesday that at least four people died in rain-related accidents in Udupi and Vijayapura, and added that the rain also caused extensive property damage and damage to homes in the Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts.

A new virtual exhibit presented by the White River Valley Museum explores an important historical movement using a thoroughly modern medium. Called #SquadGoals, the all-digital exhibit celebrates the centennial of women’s suffrage in the United States.
The exhibit is called #SquadGoals, because — as the exhibit details — the passage of the 19th amendment to the U.S. constitution took the efforts of a whole squad of people. The movement combined the efforts of multiple Progressive Era groups.
Exhibit “visitors” can access the digital content on the museum's website, on Pinterest or Instagram. Experience short blog posts, pictures of museum artifacts, newspaper articles, postcards and even memes to understand all of the strange political bedfellows involved in the push for (and resistance to) the vote for women. Find out the role played by seemingly disparate elements such as women's undergarments, alcohol, the KKK, birth control and bicycles, among others.
While the content is recommended for ages 13 and older, families with younger kids may also find this exhibit an illuminating social studies lesson presented in kid-sized pieces.
Creative pivot to digital
#SquadGoals was originally planned to be a physical exhibit at the White River Valley Museum, but then the pandemic hit and necessity became the mother of invention, said museum director Rachel McAlister.
“We really wanted to approach the subject in a fresh way and were already playing around with social media themes. With the pandemic, we were no longer able to have a physical exhibit, which led us to reimagine the content. One of our goals with the design and format of #SquadGoals was to show just how relevant history can be by framing it using modern devices likes hashtags and memes.”
“We consume so much content every day via 140 characters and clickbait and are constantly stringing together and forming opinions on complicated issues through posts on Facebook and Instagram — why not history, too?” she said.
A modern take on history
As I experienced this exhibit, I found the modern take on history to be a breath of fresh air. The content of the exhibit consists of over 80 posts, divided into sections with different hashtags, such as #feminists, #straightedge, #whatiwore, #blackgirlmagic and #whiteprivilegesquad. The different hashtags dig into the various ideas and groups at play in U.S. women fully attaining the vote in 1920. The exploration of race and class feels particularly timely.
These topics, among others, are each displayed as an image with a clickable caption for reading more. The bite-sized bits of information are intriguing and easily digestible. The various sections highlight the different movements and trends that worked together between the 1850s and 1920 to get the 19th amendment passed.
Some of the more interesting posts to me included how home décor and what women wore became an outward representation of their political beliefs (in #whatiwore and #domesticgoddess), how bicycles got a sexy, transgressive reputation (in #optoutside) and why the KKK donated to the prohibition movement, which was closely intertwined with the suffragist movement. This is explored in #whitepriviledgesquad.
The belief that women could be equal in politics opened discussion into women being equal in other areas of life, including sex and marriage. Did you know that sending birth control information through the mail was a federal offense in 1917(#birthcontroljail), or that wife beating wasn’t illegal in all states until 1920 (#wifebeater)?
The Progressive Era was progressive, but not for all. Classism and racism abounded, as Black people, Asians and Native Americans were excluded (#whitepriviledgesquad).
There are over 80 content posts, but if you want more, scroll down to the comments section. Here you can read some of the movement leaders’ own words. Many of the newspaper articles posted are just snippets, but you can go to Pinterest to read full articles.
I found this to be an exciting way to learn history, especially in today’s politicized times. I especially recommend it for teens. If you don’t have time to read through the whole exhibit, you can sign up for Instagram which will offer one image and blog post daily, eventually taking you through the whole exhibit.
Washington women vote
Though the 19th amendment was passed and women attained the vote nationwide in 1920, Washington state women got the right to vote a full 10 years earlier. Washington State History's Suffrage Special Whistle Stop Tour virtual video series offers eight videos exploring Washington State’s connection to the national suffrage movement. The name derives from a train called the Suffrage Special that carried suffragists between Spokane and Seattle in 1909 as they campaigned for the right to vote. The "whistle stops" will be hosted by local historical societies daily, Aug. 19–26, and the content is appropriate for all ages.

In cause you haven’t noticed, Jeff and I make pizza pretty often. But this was seriously one of the best we’ve been in a long time– mostly because the crust turned out ridiculously perfect. While I was at work a few Sundays ago, Jeff was in charge of making the dough. However, he was also brewing beer that day and got
a bit distracted and let the dough rise for twice as long as it normally does. The result? Light, airy, perfect dough! Seriously, it was the best mistake ever. We followed the same recipe that we did for this pizza, so if you decide to make your own dough with this recipe, I would definitely consider doubling the rise time. Who knew?
Sun Dried Tomato and Feta Cheese Pizza Recipe

What can women do to make their causes (such as inequality and violence) as cool and exciting. Do women need to grow mustaches!?? V-Day is about as close as it gets. I welcome your creative ideas!


Skip to comments.US To Spend $2 Billion On Los Angeles' 'Subway To The Sea'
Posted on 05/22/2014 7:54:22 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
SACRAMENTO, California (Reuters) - The federal government will spend $2 billion to extend a subway line under Los Angeles' storied Wilshire Boulevard, an effort to ease congestion in one of the country's most transited corridors and to eventually link downtown to the beach with a "Subway to the Sea."
The project is meant to improve traffic in a part of the city where it can take hours to go just a few miles, with train stations to be built at major cultural attractions, including museums and the glitzy shopping areas of Beverly Hills.
Backers hope at some point to expand the subway all the way to a station near the beach in Santa Monica.
"Where the car used to be king, we say, 'Look out, you don't have to get in your car,'" Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said on Wednesday at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. to announce the funding.
The backing from the U.S. Department of Transportation comes after decades of controversy pitting supporters of public transportation against opponents who complained about traffic, but feared that the subway's construction would disrupt local residents and businesses and cause safety problems.
A portion of the subway, a 6.5-mile (10.5-km) hop from downtown to Western Avenue in Koreatown, was completed in 1996, but opposition from affluent West Side residents and concern about a 1985 methane explosion that blew up a clothing store near Wilshire Boulevard stymied further progress.

Its rumored that oBama wants to extend the scope of the project .. in hopes of having his name associated with the worlds first Intercontinental Subway
$2 billiion for Los Angeles. I wonder if this is comes from the Foreign Aid budget.
RE: Its rumored that oBama wants to extend the scope of the project .. in hopes of having his name associated with the worlds first Intercontinental Subway
Doesn’t Obama realize that LA is in an earthquake belt?
What’s going to happen to this should (God forbid) the BIG ONE arrive?
Lets put a train underground where we have lots of earthquakes! What a brilliant idea!
Didn’t Jerry Brown say the sea was about to flood LA? That makes this subway much less impressive of a project.
Do you understand they already have underground subway/trains in Los Angeles? This is an extension, not a new concept.
That was my first thought! It will take $4 billion to fix it after the first quake
Needs bike lanes and wind turbines added, no doubt.
All made of hemp.
is this so more ferel yutes can go to the beach?
Subway tunnel and methane gas = a giant pipe bomb!
Ummmmm...LA + earthquakes + subway...what could possibly go wrong.
Here we go again. Another “must have” taxpayer funded “project” throwing Billions of taxpayer monies out into the unknown zone to eliminate a contrived crisis in traffic congestion, and/or air pollution so the Leftists, and their supporters can skim the funding, and eventually return much of it to their political party that doesn’t go into their own pockets.
It’s a common ruse primarily promoted by Democrats.
The Democrat party must be minimized for this country to survive.
Two things: The San Diego light rail already goes right to the border and then the Mexican drug cartels build several subways per year from Tijuana into San Ysidro all without a penny from the taxpayers.
Maybe they can use Seattle’s tunnel boring machine. Some disassembly may be required. :=)
Actually Santa Monica is filled with the homeless. Now they’ll be able to visit their friends living on skid row.
The liberal hypocrites that live on the Westside wanted public transportation for everyone else in LA, but not through their precious neighborhoods.
Were they afraid of the "wrong" kind of people being able to get in and out of their richer neighborhoods so easily? Were the taxi drivers afraid of losing fares?
They use the fear of earthquakes and methane explosions as an excuse to cover up their darker reasons for opposition.
They hate the traffic in their area, but they want everyone else to get out of their cars so they can continue to ride in theirs.
The biggest new fad is called "traffic calming". They create huge bike lanes and have to take out lanes along major surface streets. Rather than calming drivers it has infuriated them as getting in and out of the Westside is now even more painfully slow.
The city was going to build the trains to go under the streets or over them, but the people opposed it for one reason or another. So the government decided to do the only thing they could and use existing rails. This will mean even more traffic stoppages as cars have to wait for the trains to go by.
It's all quite hilarious.

XLC – XLK: ETF Correlation Analysis
This article was published on: 06/20/20 10:19 PM
This article was published on: 06/20/20 10:19 PM
The time has come again for us at DowExperts to share with you our most recent ETF correlation analysis and overall market observation, in order to help you to prepare for what’s coming in the month of June. The market movements in the past 10 weeks altogether have been nothing short of spectacular all across the board, as we saw substantial continued gains on all major US indices, marking the strongest 2-month period for the US stock market since 1987. The fundamental factors that played a crucial role in the last two month’s price action were associated with new unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus measures by the Federal Reserve and the US government; with some positive developments on the medical front with new improved testing solutions and potential anti-viral treatments for COVID-19 and last but definitely not least with the official reopening of the US economy, as now all 50 states are out of the COVID-19 related lockdown.
Today’s analysis will focus on the strong positive 10-year correlation between the Communication Services Sector SPDR Fund (XLC) and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK), which currently stands at 90%. As you know, the Dow Experts have developed a modern-market approach, based on the Dow Theory and created by Charles Dow more than 100 years ago. Yet, while the basic Dow Theory was based purely on the correlation between the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Dow Jones Transportation Average, our modern-market approach is based on more than 30 correlations, including all the other key sectors on the market, such as Technology, Services, Consumer discretionary and non-discretionary, Financials, Energy and others.
A lot has happened since the terrifying selloff that we saw back in March, as the overall market sentiment has turned from extremely bearish in March to strongly bullish in April and then to extremely bullish in May. It seems that the famous saying in the investment arena “Sell in May and go away” was definitely not followed by traders and investors last month, as the markets kept on rallying higher, thus almost reaching their pre-COVID highs. We at DowExperts believed that after seeing the crazy and unparalleled roller-coaster ride that the markets went through in the March-April period, the month of May would have brought a sideways price action, which would have ultimately allowed investors to reposition themselves in an efficient manner for the long-term. However, investors have continued to pile up on the long equity market exposure seemingly not being worried about the fact that on average stocks are much more expensive on an earnings basis today, than they were when the market was sitting at the all-time highs back at the end of February. The Shiller 10-year P/E ratio of the S&P 500 back then was sitting at around 25, whereas today it is at 30. From a valuation perspective this puts the current stock-market valuation in the Top 20% of the most expensive markets since 1871. Furthermore, it is important to note that the Shiller 10-year P/E ratio has been a very accurate financial metric for predicting the future price movements of the S&P 500 as it shares a 99.7% positive correlation with the composite.
It is always important to look at the events of the day with a clear mind and without emotions, because by doing so you would be able to recognize that the 45% appreciation of the market in the last 2 months is unsustainable and that the market has substantially overextended to the upside. It has officially entered into a highly overbought and overvalued territory, which in turn imposes serious intrinsic risks for buying at these levels. However, a lot of investors out there are struggling to control their emotions and in many instances instead of buying low and selling high, they end up doing the exact opposite, which apart from bringing negative results is also very frustrating. This is the main reason why we at DowExperts developed our unique and innovative Dow Theory 2.0, as it provides all investors with the opportunity to approach and analyze the market in a completely objective manner. Additionally, it also allows our followers to have a clear game plan in any situation and to make their own investment decisions based on significant amounts of data including charts, graphs, correlation matrices, technical indicators, fundamental economic, political and geopolitical factors etc.
Looking back at the way we have guided our subscribers in these historic times in the market, we can proudly say that in the last 4-6 weeks we have received multiple emails from a lot of them expressing a great deal of gratitude and appreciation for our knowledge, expertise and professional market insight. Following the new, innovative and proven Dow Theory 2.0 our cross-sector correlation analyses in February and March helped our followers to not only prepare for the declines in March, but to also rise as phoenixes from the ashes of that mind-blowing market crash. To summarize briefly for our new followers, we at DowExperts spotted a broad market weakness across multiple different charts and time frames on all of the major ETFs and stocks that we were observing back in February, which resulted in us issuing a cautious to bearish outlook for the stock market. The ETF correlation analyses that the DowExperts released then allowed our clients to collect the profits on their long-term buy positions and protect their portfolios from the huge downturn that followed. Then a month later, in our analyses for March we investigated the exceptional volatility and the seemingly relentless downward pressures in the stock market, by again using our innovative and thorough Dow Theory 2.0 investment approach in order to help our followers navigate these unprecedented times. Again our analysis proved to be spot on by confirming that the downtrend had significantly overextended to the downside and that a major rebound was expected in April, which is exactly what happened.
By using our investment philosophy and expertise our followers were able to apply a rational analysis for their next steps as investors while everyone else out there was letting their emotions, mainly their panic, govern their investment behavior. Every single one of our Stock-picks for April has reached its respective take profit levels that we laid out in our analyses, thus marking an outstanding appreciation of 25% on average in the last 4-6 weeks! Our stock-picks for May have also reached their initial take profit levels, thus generating 15% return on average in the last 2-4 weeks. If you take a second and think about the fact that having a $20-40 subscription with the DowExperts could have generated you a 25% return on your investment (ROI) in less than 4 weeks, you would understand that this is an unprecedented opportunity for you as an investor to benefit from our professional and highly complex market analyses at these substantially discounted starting prices!
And let’s face it, whether you have an investment portfolio of 10,000 EUR, 100,000 EUR or 1,000,000+ EUR, a 25% return in 4 weeks represents a remarkable monetary gain for you as an investor. Don’t worry if you missed those gains last month, because you didn’t know that we are here, as now you do and your financial future is in your own hands. Let us help you fulfill your investment potential!
Now let’s look ahead and see what the Dow Theory 2.0 has in store for us for the month of June and how we could further optimize our investment portfolios moving forward in order to reduce our risk-exposure and maximize our profitability. The proper re-balancing and sector rotation is exceptionally important in such volatile market conditions, as you need to always make sure that your capital is properly allocated.
The two sector ETFs that we will be analyzing closely today are the XLC – Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund and the XLK – Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund, as some of the largest companies in these two respective sectors have been among the biggest winners of this unprecedented rally. Furthermore, we believe that by investigating more closely the broader sectors we would be able to clarify if the market has further room to grow, or if an inevitable decline is on the cards.
We will first take a look at the broader economic and fundamental developments in the last month in order to evaluate what is the most likely scenario for the month of June in terms of monetary and fiscal stimulus measures, medical innovations and improvements, and general economic data readings as this will have an important role in determining our overall bias for the weeks ahead. Later, we will investigate the XLC and XLK sector ETFs independently and we will see how they stack up against one another in terms of correlations, confirmations and signals. Last but not least we will recommend 2 stocks in each of the two sectors for our followers to consider taking advantage of in the coming weeks!
In times of an unprecedented broad economic shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, central banks around the world realized that the risks of a global economic depression are not only real but that they elevated by the day back in the March-April period, as every day the world stayed shut cost billions of dollars of actual realized losses for virtually every sector our there. Thus, the Federal Reserve, which is the largest and most influential central bank in the world decided to adopt an actively supportive “by all means necessary” approach basically announcing their readiness to provide an unlimited financial stimulus for the US economy in order to avoid another depression.
“We are deploying these lending powers to an unprecedented extent [and] … will continue to use these powers forcefully, proactively, and aggressively until we are confident that we are solidly on the road to recovery,” says Jerome H. Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
They cut the benchmark interest rates to virtually zero and rolled out a series of emergency and unorthodox lending facilities designed to backstop markets and keep credit flowing to businesses. The Fed’s balance sheet has already reached $7.2 trillion, which is the largest it has ever been. One of their latest measures was to include $2.3 trillion in lending to support households, employers, financial markets, and state and local governments. Additionally, the Fed resumed its Quantitative Easing program aimed at purchasing massive amounts of securities a key tool employed during the Great Recession, when the Fed bought trillions of long-term securities. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak both the treasury and mortgage-backed securities markets have become completely dysfunctional, and the Fed’s actions aimed to restore smooth both investors confidence and market functioning so that credit can continue to flow. The initial commitment by the Federal Reserve was to at least $500 billion in Treasury securities and $200 billion in government-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities over “the coming months.” However, the followed historic market declines and broad-based panic caused the Fed to modify its monetary policy, thus making the purchases open-ended. It also expanded purchases to include commercial mortgage-backed securities, which was another unexpected and unprecedented move, as it basically means that there is no limit as to how much the Fed is willing to inject into the economy.
The Federal Reserve also slashed the reserve requirement for banks and begun buying up commercial paper (a form of short-term corporate debt). It also started buying municipal bonds for the first time and took its first steps into certain types of riskier corporate bonds, and it’s promised to buy an unlimited amount of government debt for the duration of the crisis. It will also backstop loans from bank lenders participating in the Paycheck Protection Program.
Regardless of the powerful monetary stimulus provided by the Fed, the economy needed a government intervention on the fiscal side as well in order to stay above water in these difficult times and the US government knew that. Thus, it delivered massive liquidity packages throughout the last few months including the $2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) and a $484 billion Coronavirus relief package aimed at helping Small Businesses survive. The latest major government fiscal initiative is called the $3 trillion Heroes Act, which was introduced by House Democrats and passed the house in the beginning of this month. The major focus of the bill is the $875 billion in additional funding for state and local governments and $20 billion each for tribal governments and U.S. territories. The new legislation also includes another $75 billion for testing, new provisions for hazard pay for essential workers, $75 billion in mortgage relief, $100 billion for rental assistance, plus another $25 billion for the Postal Service and provisions for a second round of $1,200 stimulus checks. In addition to all of that there’s also $3.6 billion for elections, $10 billion for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and $10 billion for small businesses. If it passes the Senate in its current form, the bill’s astronomical price tag would make it the largest piece of stimulus legislation in American history.
The combined and relentless approach on the monetary and fiscal side has substantially increased investors confidence that not only the Fed but also the US government are staying on top of this current crisis and are both ready to do whatever it takes to help businesses and individuals to survive this economic destabilization. This has been the major reason for the continued appreciation of the stock market in the US in the last few months. However, we at DowExperts believe that while it is tremendously important for the government and the Fed to continue to support the economy in this active manner, at the same time we have to face the fact they neither of them is able to create real economic growth and activity by simply pouring endless amounts of capital into the economy. With over 40 million people being unemployed in the US, it will take a very long time for the economy to get back to its pre-COVID levels of activity and productivity. In reality this means that all of the companies out there will see downward revisions of their revenue and earnings expectations for the next 2 quarters, which will ultimately slower their growth, lower their intrinsic value and will inevitably lead to some price declines. Let’s not forget that more than 80% of the publicly traded companies in the US officially withdrew their fiscal 2020 guidance when they delivered their Q1 earnings reports in the last couple months. This is one of the many warning signs that we at DowExperts identify and recognize as an indication that the road ahead could be much tougher than everyone expects.
When you see that the main drivers of this historic rally off the lows are strong liquidity injections by the government and the Fed; speculation about a quick economic recovery, without any real proof that this is even a realistic scenario; greed caused primarily from the fear of missing out; and the general misconception that the fact that the economy is “reopening” means that the economy is “recovering”, well you must ask yourself whether or not you believe that this is a sustainable and healthy environment for the market to continue to rally in the future as well. We at DowExperts believe that the economy is not going to fully recover until we start seeing actual consumer spending, consistent job creation, lower unemployment rate, productivity and manufacturing growth and many other economic indicators that are currently painting a very dark picture as a whole. Thus, we are issuing once again our cautious and rather bearish sentiment for the coming month, as we believe that even if the market doesn’t revisit its March 23rd lows, it will be definitely trading lower in June than where it was trading at the end of May.
The XLC tracks a market-cap-weighted index of US telecommunication and media & entertainment components of the S&P 500 index and offers exposure to the Communications services sector. The fund includes all members of the former telecom sector (expanded to include internet service providers), as well as media & entertainment companies previously classified in the consumer discretionary or tech sectors. This latter industry group includes many heavyweights such as Facebook, Alphabet, Netflix, and Disney.
XLC is one of the eleven Select Sector SPDR funds, which draw their holdings from the S&P 500 index. Typically, trading volume in these products is high. The expense ratio places the fund in the middle of the competition.
The Communications service sector is part of the broader Services sector which has gained unquestionable dominance throughout the last 20 years in building economic prosperity, job creation and wealth generation. The growth of the industry has been staggering as it has become the largest industry in the US with 67% contribution to the US GDP for 2018. A recent study has shown that 4 out of every 5 private-sector jobs in the US are indeed in the Services sector. These are just some of the reasons why we spend so much time in analyzing this particular sector as we understand that the Services sector will continue to grow its influence on the US economy, which in turn is expected to create a large number of profitable investment opportunities.
On the other hand, the XLK is another extremely important ETF to follow as it represents the performance of the most attractive sector in the US economy – technology. The XLK tracks an index of S&P 500 technology stocks, including all of the big tech heavyweight names in like Apple, Microsoft, Visa, Intel, Mastercard, Cisco, Nvidia, PayPal & others. The constant innovation that these companies have been able to deliver is a key factor in their overall stock performance. When these companies are delivering new products, penetrating new markets, introducing new concepts, making meaningful acquisitions, engaging in active stock buyback programs, their respective stocks tend to go up. We also have to keep in mind that another important driver for the long-term success of these companies is attributed to the phenomenal senior management leadership in the sector altogether. With names like Tim Cook, Bill Gates, Jensen Huang (NVIDIA) and Daniel Schulman (Paypal) on the roster, this sector will continue to dominate when it comes to growth and expansion for the years to come. As a result of all of the above the leading technology stocks out there are always part of the biggest investors portfolios and are an essential component of the market.
By looking at the daily chart of XLC we can clearly see that the price has moved strongly to the upside in the last 2 months, following the broad market historic bull-run off the March lows. The ETF has enjoyed a remarkable run from the $40 mark to the $56 level that it reached in the beginning of June, thus marking a 42.5% gain in 8 weeks! It has been able to fully recover the losses caused by the pandemic shock in March and now is re-testing its all-time highs around $57. We saw a strong rejection on the first attempt of the XLC to overtake this crucial technical level as the price was sent down sharply with almost 6% in the period June 10-12th. The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund is now sitting at the $54 mark, which coincides perfectly with the diagonal upward sloping trend support. This particular diagonal trendline support has been acting as crucial floor for the price throughout this remarkable bull-run in the last 2 months and the ETF has managed to bounce off of it on 3 separate occasions so far. From that, one could make the assumption that the price could rebound from this level once again and continue to move higher. However, we at DowExperts see this volatile and sharp intraday reversal as a much more meaningful indication for the current unstable market conditions. Our main concerns are that it has occurred near the all-time highs for the ETF after a 42.5% appreciation in 8 weeks in an unstable economic environment with low productivity and high unemployment levels and generally lower revenue and earnings expectations for 90% of the companies out there. The RSI has already broken to the downside the strong uptrend that it has been moving in and it is currently trading below the 60 level, which is generally a bearish signal. Additionally, the Stochastic Oscillator has also moved sharply lower and it is currently sitting at around the 42 level, which in turn is the lowest Stochastic reading that we have seen since the lows in late March. The downward trending indicators, the strong price reversal on the chart, and the generally weak economic environment out there are all indicating that the weakness on the price chart is much more serious and meaningful than just a short-term profit taking correction and we want our followers to be aware of that. Our analysis shows that if the $54 diagonal trendline support is broken next week, then the ETF could easily continue to slide lower towards the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels, which are currently sitting at $48.33 and $46.34 respectively. We also see every rally up towards the all-time highs as a great short-term selling opportunity, as we believe that there is generally too much optimism already priced in the market. A stronger pullback at the moment would do nothing else but normalize and stabilize the outrageous stock-market roller coaster of the last few months and help the market to re-evaluate and re-establish its intrinsic value. We need to see the market going back to the lower volatility days of making 1-2% moves per day consistently over a longer period of time instead of these wild 5-7% intraday swings, in order for us to officially state that the worst is behind us.
As you know, we at Dow Experts have developed a correlation confirmation model that allows us to identify, analyze and confirm different market movements, which in turn helps to improve and maximize our followers’ investment profitability. So, before we take any action on the XLC we need to make sure our short-term bearish expectations are confirmed by the other ETF we are analyzing today – the XLK, and only if we get a confirmation from it then we would proceed with selling the XLC. The Communication Services and the Technology sectors share a very strong 90% positive 10-year correlation, thus both the potential confirmation or rejection of the signal would be a reliable indication for us as to where the market is headed next.
When we take a look at the daily chart of the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund the picture is not only similar to the one we see on the XLC chart, but it is actually even worse. The XLK was trading down around the $68 mark back at the end of March before it started its monstrous 53% bullish run that we saw in the last 2 months. The price managed not only to challenge the pre-COVID 19 all-time highs around $102-$103, but to even break them and reach a new high at the $105 level on June 10th. However, this remarkable bull run was finally affected by the law of gravity as the price was quickly rejected from these highs and the ETF dropped roughly around 7% on June 11th, thus creating a very negative and bearish picture for the month of June.
The major drop at the end of last week actually broke the upward sloping diagonal support line on the price chart, which was supporting the price of the ETF in the last 8 weeks. Again the intraday reversal was sharp, volatile and on a much higher than average volume, which indicates that it wasn’t just a short-term profit taking correction but rather a long overdue shift in investors sentiment. The RSI and the Stochastic indicators are both confirming the major weakness on the chart by also breaking their respective uptrends and moving into bearish territory.
Our analysis shows that if the middle Bollinger band currently sitting around the $97-98 level is broken next week, then the ETF could easily continue to slide lower towards the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels, which are currently sitting at $86.83 and $82.56 respectively. We also see every rally up towards the all-time highs as a great short-term selling opportunity, as we believe that there is generally too much optimism already priced in the market. A stronger pullback at the moment would do nothing else but normalize and stabilize the outrageous stock-market roller coaster of the last few months and help the market to re-evaluate and re-establish its intrinsic value.
We will start opening our short-term SELL positions on the XLK around the $101-103 levels in order to benefit from the expected downturn in the market in the coming weeks. We will use every rally towards the prior highs as a great opportunity to improve our average cost basis and to further optimize our profitability to the downside. We are far from the thought that the market and the XLK specifically will be re-testing its March lows, as we are long-term bulls of the US equity markets and especially of the Technology Sector. However, the Dow Theory 2.0 clearly shows that the market and these two ETFs specifically are sitting in extremely overbought conditions and that the recent strong reversal signals have come at a crucial time and at crucial levels in order to show that the underlying fundamentals are much more unstable, uncertain and generally weaker than the fundamentals we had in the beginning of the year.
As a result of our cross-sector correlation confirmation analysis we will issue a cautious short-term bearish stance on the XLC and XLK as we expect the two ETFs to experience weakness and respectively move lower in the coming weeks. However, we would like to emphasize on the fact that these short-term price declines should be treated as great long-term buying opportunities by our followers as they will allow us to buy some of the best-in-class companies and our favorite stocks at a tremendous discount. You should always salute and welcome the opportunity to buy more of the best stocks out there, when the market moves lower. These two ETFs have been some of the biggest winners for a long time now and the reason for that is associated with the fact that the companies comprising these ETFs are the companies that define and shape the world that we live in today. Thus, the XLC and XLK will continue to be Dow Experts’ most favorite long-term growth ETFs out there.
In order to further provide our followers with a strategy on how to fully capitalize on the above-described patterns and correlations, we analyzed the performance of some of the biggest companies within the SPY and XLY that have a big impact on the overall performance of the two ETFs.

United in a humane mission, hairdressers and citizens help children without parental care in the Bjelave home. They have already visited the Home several times and provide hairdressing services completely free of charge. For residents of the Home, this is an opportunity to get the desired hairstyle, but also to make new friends. The key message of this action is that children feel that they are not alone and that they can count on the help of friends through socializing.
Hairdressers voluntarily come to Bjelave for the third time, and in addition to a new haircut, they give the children love and attention.
“Every child who deserves love, deserves happiness and attention, deserves a beautiful haircut and the best haircut,” says hairdresser Erna Hastor.
“It’s a little thing for us, it means a lot to them, that each of us take a little time to express our love for these children,” adds hairdresser Admir Džuho.
This institution is the only home for 83 residents. Boys and girls of different ages, but also of different desires. Boys look for role models in the world of football, so they usually want to wear a hairstyle like famous football players. Girls want beautiful and well-groomed hair. Before the start of the school year, the hairdressers fulfilled all their wishes, and now they are continuing their campaign and say there will be more. And that is a significant relief for the employees of the House.
“We would provide them with these services, only it would be much more difficult. For example, I have to take two or three children each time, I have to go to a hair salon ten or twenty times. This way, with the help of the Rekord hair salon, it is much easier for us”, points out Mahir Musić, expert associate school educator at the Home for Children Without Parental Care in Sarajevo.
Good stories are heard far and wide, and good people are happy to join them. So, along with the hairdressers, other volunteers ready to help arrived at the Home. Gifts, basic necessities, but also some sweets for the most beautiful children’s smiles filled the rainy Sunday and left hope that they are not alone, nor forgotten.
“Seeing the smile on their face, the joy, especially with these little ones like Hamza and his sister, it’s really satisfying – to see that they are happy,” says Fahra Dvizac.
Humanity and empathy are the driving force behind this action, which confirms that every child deserves equal rights, love and attention. That’s why, when fate writes those bad pages, to make it easier, society offers a friendly hand, because our little will mean everything to someone.
