St. Louis Fire Insurance Maps Digital Collectionsinglesoliloquy
The 19th century St. Louis fire insurance maps provide an important visual record of the growing and developing built environment of post-Civil War St. Louis from 1870 to 1898. Originally created for the fire insurance industry, these maps document commercial, industrial, and residential neighborhoods and are regularly consulted by urban planners, architects, and historians. Washington University Libraries and the Missouri Historical Society hold approximately 2,500 of these 19th century St. Louis fire insurance maps that are not currently available in any digital collection. Digitizing these maps could increase access and scholarship, allow for experimentation by incorporating the maps with other datasets, and help preserve the original maps.

The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptxDiana Rose
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l

Gold
Gold fell for the second straight day on Thursday, in a choppy session
weighed down by a stronger dollar and rising stock markets after being
buoyed by expectations the Federal Reserve will be patient in raising
interest rates.
Minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting released on
Wednesday reassured markets that the central bank was in no hurry to
raise interest rates, lifting European shares.
Among currencies, the dollar hit a 9-year high against the euro, as
investors ramped up bets the European Central Bank was getting closer
to loosening monetary policy to ward off deflation.
Analysts are awaiting the release of U.S. non-farm payrolls data for
December on Friday, a key barometer of the health of the U.S. economy.
An upbeat report is likely to support the view that the Fed will raise rates
sooner rather than later.
Outlook
We expect gold prices are likely to trade on negative note on the back of
US interest rate outlook.

Silver
Silver was down 1 percent at $16.35 an ounce.
The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits
fell last week and job cuts declined sharply in December, suggesting
the labor market is tightening.
Thursday's reports support views of faster growth this year, driven by
consumer spending, despite a faltering global economy.

Crude Oil
Global oil prices were little changed for a second straight day on
Thursday after better-than-expected U.S. jobs data helped the market
hold ground after a 10 percent loss earlier in the week.
But support for oil was likely to be short-lived as market bears continue
hunting for a bottom to the second-biggest price rout in crude's history,
traders said.
Some traders think oil prices could be at a crossroads after losing over
half their value from June highs, and that could explain benchmark
Brent's stalling at above $50 since Wednesday. Others believe the
market has just been handed a reprieve before being hammered lower.
Data on Thursday showed jobless claims in the United States fell last
week, while a separate report said U.S. employers announced a total of
483,171 job cuts in 2014. That was 5 percent fewer than in 2013 and the
smallest number since 1997.
Expectations the European Central Bank could resort to stimulus
measures after a rash of weak economic data and record crude imports
by China in December, possibly due to attractive pricing, also helped
sentiment, traders said.
But the world's largest oil traders have also started hiring supertankers
to store crude at sea, marking a milestone in the build-up of the global
glut of supplies, freight brokers and shipping sources said.
Outlook
We expect crude oil prices likely to trade on negative note on the back of
increasing supply and decreasing demand is likely to keep crude oil
prices under pressure.

billion cubic feet of gas from storage last week.
As on Wednesday, the latest weather models for the lower 48 U.S.
states on Thursday called for colder-than-normal temperatures over
the next two weeks, with an expected 502 heating degree days.

Aluminium rebounded from lows on Thursday as some investors
bought back short positions to lock in profits, but more losses were
expected for copper and zinc ahead of the new year holiday in top
metals consumer China.
Copper, burdened by worries about oversupply, failed to sustain a
bounce from 4-1/2 year lows the previous day, ending in the red
again.
At its lows on Wednesday, aluminium had shed 15 percent since
late November as investors worried about smelters restarting
capacity they had shut down.
Also weighing on copper was more evidence of higher supplies as
LME inventories rose to 179,225 tonnes, bringing the increase
since last August to 27 percent.
