Our mission is to provide a diverse collection of resources and instruction in their use that fulfill both the intellectual and recreational needs of all members of our community. We serve as an intellectual center in a comfortable environment with a caring atmosphere where all are welcome.
The primary function of our library is to serve the learning and teaching needs of students and faculty. Consistent with the Culver Mission Statement, the library attempts to develop the intellectual growth of all students by providing resources and instruction in their use that will allow them to "nurture intellectual curiosity, critical thought, the acquisition of knowledge, creativity, and the development of academic skills."
Our library is a place where all ideas can be considered, analyzed, investigated, and debated in an objective manner. We serve to "open minds" by presenting materials with all points of view concerning the problems and issues of our times and to provide instruction and opportunities for students to develop discriminating taste.
We serve as an extension to the classroom, functioning as a "learning laboratory" where students can independently explore ideas presented in class. While it serves as an extension to the classroom, it also serves as a stepping stone to the information-rich society students will face in their adult life and a place where interests outside the classroom can be pursued.

On our Huffington Library catalog Be sure to check out the Library Resources and the Culver Current Student Resources for more resources.
How many books or movies can I check out and for how long?
You are welcome to check out up to 8 books or DVDs. The books check out for 4 weeks and the Classic Movies (below R rating) check out for 1 week. During heavy research times, you may be limited to 3 NONFICTION books on a particular subject.

Instructional DVDs can be checked out for one week but ONLY with the permission (via email or phone) of an instructor or library staff.
What happens if my book or DVD is overdue?
You will receive an e-mail notice. Please respond to the e-mail immediately. If you need to renew, you can do so online by logging into your account (unless the book is on hold). Your counselor will also be sent a copy of your overdue notice. After receiving two overdue notices, you may be assigned to DC.
What if the Huffington Library does not have the book I need?
Through a service called Interlibrary Loan (ILL) we are able to borrow books from other libraries. Ask for an ILL form at the Main Desk or click on the link on the Library Resources page. Books we have borrowed through ILL are only delivered to Culver once a week, so you will need to plan ahead.
Can I listen to music?
Yes, as long as you use earbuds or headphones and no one else can hear your music.
Can I eat or drink in the library?
Only bottled water is allowed.
What are the hours of CQ?
Underclassmen are required to be in the library before 8:00 PM and must stay until 9:40 PM. Seniors and juniors with full seconds may come and go as long as they sign in/ out and are not disruptive.
Do I need a pass to come to the library for CQ?
Only students who have been assigned to room study will need a pass from their counselor or teacher. This pass needs to be given to the student proctor at sign in.
Where can I study with a group during CQ?
There are several areas for group study: Reading Area, Forum, and eight group study rooms. You need to sign up for a group study room. Priority is given to students in the same class; up to four in a group; first come, first served! The Group Study rooms are NOT soundproof so you will need to talk QUIETLY so you don't disturb others.
Can I use Skype in the library?
According to the Responsible Use Policy which you signed, using Culver technology to access non-academic websites during academic hours is not permitted. Please be sure to log out of Skype during academic hours (8:15 AM – 3:45 PM, 7:30 – 10:00 PM).

You will need to log in to the printer in order to initiate the print/copy/scan job.
What if I would like to donate a book or video to the library?
The Huffington Library welcomes and encourages gifts in support of the Culver Academies mission. Over the years, the library has benefitted tremendously from the generosity of donors and continues to rely heavily upon endowments to sustain the collection for the benefit of the students, faculty and staff.
Huffington Library Gift Policy: Interested donors are encouraged to contact the Development Office (574.842.7400, firstname.lastname@example.com) and must submit a list of materials (electronically if possible) for consideration as donations before physically depositing any materials. On this list, please include the author, title, date of publication and general condition of each item. If the Library agrees to accept the materials, the Development Office will work with the donor to provide a gift acknowledgement letter which includes a charitable gift receipt for tax purposes.
For donations in excess of $5,000, a qualified appraisal must be obtained at the expense of the donor before the books are presented to the library and possibly processed into the library collection. Neither the Library nor Culver Academies is responsible for appraisals.
The Library's goal in accepting gifts is to acquire only those materials that 1) support the current and evolving curriculum at Culver Academies, 2) support the basic research needs of students, faculty, and staff and 3) meet the criteria of its collection development policy in terms of nature, quality, and condition. While many donated titles may be of merit, we may have to decline materials as they are out of the normal scope of our collection or duplicate existing holdings.
If gifts are accepted, it should be understood that the Huffington Library at Culver Academies becomes the owner of the material and reserves the right to determine its retention, location, use, maintenance and removal. The Library accepts donations only on the condition that we may dispose of those items that will not be added to the collection in whatever manner we determine to be the most suitable. Those options include donations to nonprofit institutions such as Better World Books, exchanges for needed books of equal value, or sales, with the money to be used to purchase collection materials. Any materials that we find to be so deteriorated as to make them unfit for storage and/or use will be discarded according to policy.
We cannot promise to maintain a collection or group of books as a single entity segregated from the circulating and reference collections. The library may also decline to accept special collections, unless they are accompanied by significant, designated funding to cover the cost of processing and maintenance.
If you have any questions, please contact the library (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Susan Freymiller (Library Director) via email email@example.com or phone 574.842.8442.

Hi Stampers!
Today's share is my first Christmas card of the season, and believe me, if you see it in person, you would be overwhelmingly WOWED by it. It is a case (copy and share everything) of a beautiful card that I saw created by Deb Valder for the Stampin' Up! Founders's Circle retreat.
~ The poinsettia was stamped with black stazon ink onto a 4x4 window sheet.
~ You need to pool about a one and one half inch spot of crystal effects onto a piece of waxed paper and mix in 2 drops of cherry cobbler re-inker and then paint onto the poinsettia.
~ You will also need to use a small amount of crystal effects and put one drop of crushed curry into that and paint the berries in the center
~ Next, you sprinkle Dazzling Diamonds onto the wet and let it dry for a good hour. Cut out the flower and then adhere it to the whisper white card stock using some of the crystal effects as an adhesive.
Last week I demonstrated this lovely card at my monthly class. Everyone was very pleased at having created such an elegant and spectacular little masterpiece!
Stamps: Joyful Christmas
Paper: whisper white, basic black, window sheets p. 156 IBC
Ink: stazon black, cherry cobbler, crushed curry
Misc: crystal effects, dazzling diamonds

Cooler market slows house price gains in L.A., Orange counties
Los Angeles and Orange county house prices continued their two-year rise through May, but at a much slower pace, the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index reported Tuesday.
The value of single-family homes increased 12.3 percent from May 2013 levels – the fifth-highest increase among 20 metro areas included in the survey.
While that marked the 23rd month of year-over-year increases, it also was the smallest annual gain in almost 1 1/2 years. Prices jumped as much as 22 percent during last year's now-cooling market frenzy.
Rising competition among a growing number of home sellers and falling investor demand contributed to a leveling off of home prices, local observers say.
Nationally, prices increased 9.3 percent in the 20-city composite, with appreciation decelerating in 18 of the 20 metro areas, the report said.
"Home price gains have been tapping the brakes," Quicken Loans Vice President Bill Banfield said in a prepared statement.
Case-Shiller's report – based on comparisons of recent prices to previous sales for individual homes – shows further that:
• L.A.-O.C. house prices now are up 39 percent from the bottom reached in February 2012.
• Local prices remain 19 percent below the peak that was hit in September 2006.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Jonah Williams never got caught up in recruiting rankings. And he knew that his high school success assured him of nothing once he arrived at Alabama. He doesn't dwell on the praise. But there's lots of it. Outland Trophy winner Cam Robinson thinks Williams is better than he was as a freshman. Crimson Tide offensive line coach Mario Cristobal calls his young right tackle "the best I've seen." Williams, a 6-foot-5, 296-pound freshman, tries not to even consider the sentence "starting right tackle for the defending national champions." But that's what he has been all season and will be when the Tide plays No. 2 Clemson for another title Monday in Tampa, Florida. "That's been my whole process for the past two years, ever since I started getting heavily recruited," Williams said before the semifinal game against Washington. "My friends, my parents, coaches, everyone was always — not putting me down or keeping me down, they're very supportive of me — but it's like, 'You're doing a really good job against this high schooler that's going to go to technical school after this. You're about to be going against (Alabama defensive end) Jon Allen and all these guys in practice and all the superstars and incredible D-lines in the SEC.' "That was always the thing for me, is that, yeah, you're doing well but there's someone better." Like Robinson, Williams has started every game as a freshman. Both were five-star prospects, and now Robinson is a unanimous All-American and projected high first-round draft pick. "I have to give it to him. He was probably better than me," Robinson said. "I was just raw. I was just out there playing. I think he's probably a little bit more focused and disciplined." Bearded and analytical, Williams doesn't really look, sound or play like a freshman. He skipped the prep all-star games so he could enroll at Alabama last January and practice for a few days before that national championship game versus the Tigers. That provided him with an early welcome-to-the Southeastern Conference moment a few hours after arriving on campus. With loudspeakers blasting in crowd noise, Williams was a little slow moving and linebacker Tim Williams blew by him. "I'm like, 'Oh my God,'" Jonah Williams said. I'd never gone against a guy that fast. I think that was probably the biggest 'oh crap' moment for me." By fall camp, he was more comfortable. Williams prepared for his first game against Southern California partly by watching Robinson's Alabama debut at left tackle against West Virginia. He said Robinson provided "a great template" of how to succeed as a freshman lineman in the SEC. Cristobal, for one, wasn't surprised that Williams has consistently excelled so early. He visited Folsom High School during a recruiting period where he wasn't allowed to talk with recruits. Cristobal said everyone at the California school sang Williams' praises. The film wasn't bad either. "I think my 7-year-old could have watched his film and said, 'Yeah, we need to go this guy,'" Cristobal said. Now, Cristobal calls him the best tackle he's been around, then backtracks just a bit to include Robinson. "Those two are the best that I've ever seen," said Cristobal, a former FIU head coach and Miami Hurricanes assistant. It's not just Williams' talent that sets him apart, the coach said. He also calls him a football junkie, who would respond to Cristobal about high school games with lengthy, very specific texts that included detailed self critiques. "He's humble and hungry. He's ambitious," Cristobal said. "Every time you communicate with him, it's 'I'm on my way to the gym.' Or, 'I'm going to eat half a chicken and four baked potatoes.' Everything he does is geared toward greatness." ___ More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25

Getting to know you: using music to gain awareness of intercultural perspectives through technology
Access to mobile communication technology is a characteristic that makes today's learners different and presents challenges and opportunities to develop twenty-first century skills in a globalized society. This qualitative study involved students and teachers using synchronous and asynchronous web-based social networks and recording software to communicate and compose music. Dialogue was captured and analyzed for levels of interaction and mindsets to determine if such a collaborative could cultivate an awareness of others' perspectives and the feasibility of using social networks in K-12 educational settings for this purpose. There were strong indications that global reach projects using technologies in K-12 education do have the potential for students to become aware of others' perspectives; however changes in educational policy are needed.

Plato wrote The Apology based on a speech that Socrates gave at his trial, where he was charged with not accepting the gods endorsed by the government and creating his own gods, and of corrupting the youth of Athens. The "apology" was not Plato's, but was given by Socrates. More importantly, the term "apology" did not refer to the modern concept of apologies, where someone expresses regret and remorse for an action. Rather, "apology" refers to the older Greek conception, which roughly means a defense.
In the time of Socrates, many teachers charged students to learn the art of rhetorical persuasion. Socrates was alarmed that these teachers didn't concern themselves with the truth, but only with seeking to persuade the audience to accept a particular viewpoint. Socrates felt the greatest people in society would pursue virtue when they knew what was virtuous. Since they did not understand virtue, they sought wealth and material power instead.
Socrates' Defense
Socrates is often credited as being the father of Western philosophy. Socrates claimed that he was wise because he did not know very much, and that his wisdom lay in knowing that he did not know very much. He attempted to expose the foolishness of purported wise men by questioning them persistently. This made the "wise men" angry and eventually led to Socrates's downfall.
Verdict and Punishment
The jury found Socrates guilty, but asked him to choose a penalty for himself. Socrates originally joked and stated that he deserved a feast as a reward for the benefits he brought to the state. He then offered to pay a fine, but the jury rejected this punishment. After sentencing Socrates to death, Socrates told the jury that they were hurting themselves more than him.
The Apology also explains how the elenchus -- the Socratic method of questioning -- works. Socrates engaged in dialogue with a proclaimed sage and sought to understand the sage's knowledge through persistent logical questioning. The Apology is the only one of Plato's records of Socrates that is a monologue, since Socrates explains his method of inquiry. Normally, he would stick to questioning others to expose the flaws in their ideas.

Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures:
Federal Unemployment Taxes
GAO-04-212R: Published: Nov 14, 2003. Publicly Released: Nov 14, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9521
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
We have performed the procedures contained in the enclosure to this report, which we agreed to perform, solely to assist the Department of Labor in ascertaining whether the net federal unemployment tax (FUTA) revenue distributed to the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, is supported by the underlying records. As agreed with the Inspector General, we evaluated fiscal year 2003 activity affecting distributions to the UTF.
The adequacy of the procedures to meet Labor's objectives is Labor's responsibility and we make no representation in that respect. The procedures we agreed to perform include (1) detailed tests of transactions that represent the underlying basis of amounts distributed to the UTF and (2) review of key reconciliations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) records to the Department of the Treasury records. The enclosure contains the agreed-upon procedures and our findings from performing each of the procedures. We were not engaged to perform, and did not perform, an audit, the objective of which would have been the expression of an opinion on the net amount of FUTA taxes distributed to the UTF. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported. We completed the agreed-upon procedures on October 31, 2003.

Product Notes
Originally released in 1998 and part of the 'Timezones' series, this release was revisited in 2007/2008, remixed and remastered using updated techniques. The results are astounding and present this classic music in an all new light. In addition, in 1998 we were limited to 74 mins on a CD so this release, which actually runs about 78 mins, had to be edited down to fit onto the CD. The track Mt Aida Chill took the hit on the edit. Now that we have 80 min capacity on CDs, the full-length version of Mt Aida Chill can now be heard and the original recording can be restored and enhanced. The original idea of the series was to create 'aural postcards' or music inspired by a particular place, something I've always done in my music but just put into words this time. Those of you who own the previous edition will be delighted to not only hear the full-length version of Mt Aida Chill, but the sonic enhancements to the overall CD as well as updated and upgraded CD graphics make this an absolutely beautiful re-issue.

Plantation Trace / Thomasville
All Saints Episcopal Church
One of the most beautiful historic churches in the region, All Saints was built in 1881 as Saint Augustine Roman Catholic Church. It also has the distinction as the church where Jacqueline Kennedy attended mass during a six-week private retreat to a Thomasville plantation following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In the early 1980s, the church was saved from demolition, moved to its present site in the Tockwotton Historic District and re-consecrated as an Episcopal Church. Visitors are welcome for self-guided tours Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The church is closed on Friday afternoons during the summer months.

The sebum is an oily substance that is naturally produced and secreted by the sebaceous glands. The glands control hair growth and sebum works to condition the hair so that it is lubricated and able to grow healthy.
Did you ever noticed that men use not to have as many wrinkles as women?
Well, men secrete slightly more sebum on the skin than women and this natural oil is used to moisturise the skin and prevent it from drying out. Basically, sebum is vital for healthy hair.
Hair is far more complex than it appears on the surface. Too much sebum can close the pores and lead to acne or an increased level of DHT ( Dihydrotestosterone ) which is a male sex hormone.
DHT plays a major role in hair loss. But not all men with an oily scalp are bald, just those who are sensitive to the effects of DHT on the scalp.
Also those who have a family history of hair loss are more likely to experience baldness. Basically, hair loss related to sebum is genetic.
You can menatin a healthy lubrication of the hair by washing frequently with a proper shampoo.

Sometimes blogging can be a little stressful. Not often. Mostly I just love it! But this project STRESSED ME OUT! Probably because it involved a hammer and nails. I'm not too good with building type projects. But in reality, it wasn't too hard to pull this together and I love the end result.
Kristen Duke is doing a series about Decorating with Pictures. When she asked me to join in on her series this month, I knew it was just the kick in the pants that I needed to get some decorating done in my master bedroom. I had a project in mind, I just needed to kick start to actually do it.
Want to see what I did?
I took 4 crazy and cute pictures of my 4 little guys:
And hung them on a piece of bead board to add depth and excitement to this part of my bedroom. I love how it turned out!
Let me show you the step by step of how I did this. Because really, it's not that hard!
Decorate with Picture Frames and Bead Board:
Supplies Needed:
- Picture frames (I just got cheap $4 ones)
- DecoArt Chalky Finish Paint (get it at Michael's or Home Depot)
- Spray finish
- Piece of bead board cut to the size you want
- Heavy duty picture frame hangers
- Small nails
- Liquid nails
I started out by painting my picture frames with the DecoArt Chalky Finish Paint. It's handy because it adheres to any surface and worked like a charm painting these frames:
This chalky finish paint goes on very easily. It will dry with an ultra matte finish.
I sprayed it with the DecoArt spray finish in Matte after I was done painting.
Then, I got a piece of bead board cut at the home improvement store. Get yours any size you want. Mine is 52 inches by 20 inches.
I attached picture frame hangers to the back, but I could tell that the screw was too long and was going to go all the way through the bead board, so I used liquid nails instead:
Then I figured out where I wanted the frames on the bead board:
And put tiny nails into the bead board to hang the frames. Then I hung the whole thing on the wall.
Now…be sure to checkout all of the photo decorating ideas in Kristen's Decorating with Pictures series! See them here:
And…there's a big fun giveaway associated with my post on her blog as well as 2 giveaways a day throughout the series! Head over to check it out!

A polymath (Greek: πολυμαθής, polymathēs, "having learned much")[1] is a person whose expertise spans a significant number of different subject areas; such a person is known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems.
The term was first used in the 17th century; the related term, polyhistor, is an ancient term with similar meaning.[2]
The term is often used to describe great thinkers of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment who excelled at several fields in science and the arts. In the Italian Renaissance, the idea of the polymath was expressed by Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472), in the statement that "a man can do all things if he will".[3] Embodying a basic tenet of Renaissance humanism that humans are limitless in their capacity for development, the concept led to the notion that people should embrace all knowledge and develop their capacities as fully as possible. This was expressed in the term "Renaissance man" which is often applied to the gifted people of that age who sought to develop their abilities in all areas of accomplishment: intellectual, artistic, social, and physical. This term entered the lexicon during the twentieth century and has now been applied to great thinkers living before and after the Renaissance.
Renaissance ideal: the Renaissance man[edit]
"Renaissance man" was first recorded in written English in the early 20th century.[4] It is now used to refer to great thinkers living before, during, or after the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance man, a man of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination".[5]
Many notable polymaths lived during the Renaissance period, a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th through to the 17th century and that began in Italy in the Late Middle Ages and later spread to the rest of Europe. These polymaths had a rounded approach to education that reflected the ideals of the humanists of the time. A gentleman or courtier of that era was expected to speak several languages, play a musical instrument, write poetry, and so on, thus fulfilling the Renaissance ideal.
The idea of a universal education was essential to achieving polymath ability, hence the word university was used to describe a seat of learning. At this time, universities did not specialize in specific areas but rather trained students in a broad array of science, philosophy, and theology. This universal education gave them a grounding from which they could continue into apprenticeship toward becoming a master of a specific field.
When someone is called a "Renaissance man" today, it is meant that, rather than simply having broad interests or superficial knowledge in several fields, he possesses a more profound knowledge and a proficiency, or even an expertise, in at least some of those fields.[6] Some dictionaries use the term "Renaissance man" to describe someone with many interests or talents,[7] while others give a meaning restricted to the Renaissance and more closely related to Renaissance ideals.
Related terms[edit]
Aside from "Renaissance man" as mentioned above, similar terms in use are Homo Universalis (Latin) and Uomo Universale (Italian), which translate to "universal person" or "universal man". The related term generalist—contrasted with a specialist—is used to describe a person with a general approach to knowledge.
The term Universal Genius or Versatile Genius is also used, with Leonardo da Vinci as the prime example again. The term seems to be used especially when a person has made lasting contributions in at least one of the fields in which he was actively involved, and when he had a universality of approach.
When a person is described as having "encyclopedic knowledge", they exhibit a vast scope of knowledge. This designation may be anachronistic, however, in the case of persons such as Eratosthenes whose reputation for having encyclopedic knowledge predates the existence of any encyclopedic object.
In sports[edit]
In Britain, phrases such as "polymath sportsman", "sporting polymath", or simply "polymath" are occasionally used in a restricted sense to refer to athletes who have performed at a high level in several very different sports, rather than to those gifted in many fields of study. One whose accomplishments are limited to athletics would not be considered a "polymath" in the usual sense of the word. An example is Howard Baker, who was called a "sporting polymath" by the Encyclopedia of British Football for winning high jump titles and playing cricket, football, and water polo.[8]
In medicine[edit]
Many polymaths from across the centuries have their roots in medical applications. One of the more well known polymaths, Leonardo da Vinci, was known for his immense interest in human anatomical structure.[9]

The continuing education requirements have changed.
Starting with the February 28, 2015 licensure renewal deadline, and going forward, all continuing education credits must be obtained no later than December 31 in the year prior to the renewal deadline. The next renewal cycle deadline is February 28, 2017 for continuing education credits obtained from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016.
On Nov. 21, 2012, Rule 61G1-24, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C), outlining the continuing education hours (CEH) requirements changed from 20 to 24 hours. ( 22 hours in health, safety and welfare related courses and 2 hours in the Florida Building Code Advanced Course). Information regarding the requirements can be found in the FAC and in the Architecture Continuing Education Handbook, click here.
When an architect renews their license for the February 28, 2017 deadline, he/she will attest to completing 24 continuing education hours from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016.
The board no longer accepts optional self-directed study courses delivered by non-AIA providers.
Required by the Board of Architecture & Interior Design, all registered architects in Florida are to complete a minimum of 2 hours of an ADVANCED FBC course each biennium.
22 CEHs Biannually
Plus 2 Hours of Advanced Florida Building Code
There are no transcripts for the state. It is the responsibility of the Registered Providers for the state of Florida to report the participants CEHs to the state. All architects are responsible for retaining proof of participation in all CE courses in case of audit. All proof should be retained for three years following renewal.
What is the difference between Self Designed Activity and Self-Reported Programs?
Self-Designed Activity is an educational activity designed by the learner, such as reading, viewing videos and using CD-ROMS. It is notacceptable for HSW credit and recommended for a minimum of three hours. Self-Reported Program is a structured activity offered by non-AIA Registered Providers. Documentation of attendance/participation is required when reporting this as a state licensure requirement.
What qualifies for Health, Safety and Welfare?
Health is aspects of architecture that have salutary effects among users of buildings or sites and address environmental issues.
Safety is aspects of architecture intended to limit or prevent accidental injury or death among users of buildings or sites.
Welfare is aspects of architecture that engender positive emotional responses among, or enable equal access by, users of buildings or sites.
Is the 12 Hour HSW requirement in addition to the 18 LUHs for AIA?
No. Even though AIA records by Learning Unit Hours, they require that 12 hours of the 18 LUHs be in HSW.

It is definitely worth taking a few seconds to hear what Marc Faber has to say
Faber: "I Will Vote For Trump, Because Hillary Will Destroy The
Whole World"
March, 2016
Marc Faber appears in the financial media, in this case Bloomberg TV,
one can expect the usual fire and brimstone sermon of how
micromanagement of the global economy by central bankers will lead to
disastrous results, something which we agree with wholeheartedly and
as of two months ago, so did virtually every billionaire at Davos.
Recall that just
at the end of January,
the WSJ when reporting from Davos said that "The world's
central banks can't save us anymore. That was the message from some
of the world's most prominent investors at the World Economic Forum
in Davos, Switzerland, on Friday. Their mood here was
irritated, bordering
on affronted, with what they say has been central-bank intervention
that has gone on too long."
we doubt these same billionaires are quite as irritated, or quite as
negative on central bank intervention two months later when thanks
to, drumroll, central bank intervention, the Dow Jones has staged the
biggest quarterly rebound from its lows since 1933.
back to Faber, who - sure enough - ponders the idiocy of the IMF's
counterfactual statement today, when Lagarde said the world economy
would be worse off without negative interest rates:
... they will always say, if we hadn't done this and hadn't done that, it would be much worse. They have no proof for this assertion. In my view, it would have been better to let the crisis, already the first one in 2000, run its course and prevent the colossal credit bubble that was built up that then led to an even bigger crisis, and now they're doing the same mistake.
then goes on to slam NIRP and the upcoming helicopter money:
... the magicians at central banks, they always come out with a new trick and these negative interest rates that we have today, this is for the first time in recorded human history from the times of Babylon up to today that we have negative interest rates, and it's not going to end well. That, I can tell you. But the sequence of how it will not end well, I'm not so sure. But they still have a lot of ammunition. What they can do is helicopter money. In other words, they can send you and Mr. Bloomberg and me and everybody, say a check for $10,000, and that is like throwing gasoline into a fire.... will it help the economy? That is the question. It won't help in the long run. You cannot grow an economy by just throwing money at people.
what policies he would prefer instead:
... the less policies, the better it would be. We all learned at school that the free market and the capitalistic system is the best allocator of resources, and now what we have is the worst allocation of resources because it's the government that tells you how these resources are allocated and they continuously expand their interventions, and I can tell you, I started to work in 1970. In the 70's and early 1980's, central banks actually never came up in discussions. They have now become like the messiah, and everybody watches what the central banks do and in the end, in my view, they will have, from a long term perspective, no impact whatsoever. Now can they move markets short term? Yes, but maybe not in the direction they want to.
of these are necessarily new as Faber's position on these topics has
been well known in advance. However, what surprised us was how clear
Faber's political outlook is.
is what he said:
You can buy the Singapore stock market with a four percent dividend yield. Well, Singapore is a relatively sound economy. It's diversified and it's well run, unlike the U.S., unless, of course, the U.S. is run by Mr. Trump. Then the U.S. will improve.
HYDE: But Mr. Faber, I mean, we're seeing from Donald Trump's potential policies that he wants to slow international trade between the United States and other countries. Surely that's going to be a block upon free markets.
FABER: Well, I agree that it is negative if you have restrictions on a free market. That, I agree entirely. But you have to equally see that the U.S. has essentially given in on a lot of things that benefit other countries. If you look at, say, the growth, 2000 to today, which countries have done relatively well? The emerging markets have done fantastically well. Their GDP has gone up substantially. The standards of living have gone up substantially. They have accumulated large reserves, and so forth. The U.S. and Europe and Japan, relatively speaking, have been declining, and that, the statistics are visible from industrial production in emerging economies. It's doubled in the last 12 years. Global trade, you look at the share of emerging markets, it's gone up. The developed world, the U.S., Europe, Japan, it's gone down and so forth. So I think that maybe we have to find a way to have a more balanced approach to global trade. I'm not saying protectionism, but the more balanced approach that is fair to the developed world.
BARTON: Are you really a fan of Mr. Trump, Marc? Do you really believe...?
FABER: It is all relative. Given the alternatives, I would vote for Mr. Trump, because he may only destroy the U.S. economy, but Hillary Clinton will destroy the whole world. Look at her nation building in the Middle East, how successful that has been.
is right.
