European airlines are beginning to see faint glimmers of economic sunlight and preparing to come out of their coronavirus hibernation.Deutsche Lufthansa AG (OTCMKTS:DLAKY) on Friday said group airlines Lufthansa, Eurowings and SWISS will collectively reactivate 80 aircraft for June, doubling the operational fleet size to serve a total of 106 destinations. IAG Group this week said it plans to ramp up passenger service in July on the expectation that travel restrictions will ease and more people will start flying again. Both airlines have shrunk flight operations to less than 10% of their pre-crisis level as the pandemic caused the travel market to collapse.Most of the Lufthansa Group aircraft currently in service today are flying cargo or rescue missions for governments and travel operators to bring home tourists and other travelers stranded abroad by coronavirus travel bans. Lufthansa operates a dedicated fleet of freighters and is using many passenger planes for dedicated cargo operations too.With the outbreak past its crest in Europe, Lufthansa said it will gradually expand its flight schedule each month as Germany and other European countries loosen travel restrictions and open borders "We sense a great desire and longing among people to travel again. Hotels and restaurants are slowly opening, and visits to friends and family are in some cases being allowed again. With all due caution, we are now making it possible for people to catch up and experience what they had to do without for a long time. It goes without saying that the safety and health of our guests and employees are of the highest priority," said Harry Hohmeister, the head of commercial passenger airlines at Deutsche Lufthansa AG, in a statement.Starting in June, Group airlines will again fly to leisure destinations in Mallorca, Spain; the German island of Sylt; Rostock, Germany; and Crete, Greece. The June flight schedule will be published within a week.The company cautioned travelers to prepare for longer wait times at airport security checkpoints as authorities impose stricter hygiene regulations. And catering services on board will also remain restricted until further notice.Earlier this week, Lufthansa Group began requiring all passengers to wear face masks to help protect passengers and crew members from infection.Meanwhile, the parent company disclosed this week that it is negotiating with the German government for an emergency financial aid package worth 9 billion euros ($9.7 billion) to help fund operations and payroll until revenues pick up in a meaningful way.Germany privatized Lufthansa in the late 1990s.The relief package would include a secured loan and a non-voting equity stake of up to 25% for the government. Lufthansa would also be required to suspend future dividend payments as part of the deal.Lufthansa officials have warned the company may file for bankruptcy without stabilization aid. An issue under debate is the government's request for two board seats, which could give the government a say in how many workers to retain or other policies.Most of Lufthansa's workers are on leave and receiving aid under a government safety-net program.The International Air Transport Association has said governments need to do more to help airlines get through the worst crisis in aviation history because of the enormous number of jobs involved and because air travel is critical to reviving the global economy.Photo: Lufthansa AirlinesSee more from Benzinga * BLS Report: Six Years Of Trucking Sector Job Gains Have Disappeared * USA Truck Sees Green Shoots Amid Uncertainty; Shares Surge * California Targets Two Trading Companies Over Fuel Prices, But Diesel Isn't Part Of The Lawsuit(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.

Could we see the yellow metal at $5,000 or even higher amid the coronavirus crisis? We invite you thus to read our today’s article and find out how high gold prices can go in this downturn.

Digging into the details of why this precious metal is likely to continue climbing, even from hereGold is going to $1,790 (that's from UBS) …Gold is going to $1,900 (from TD Securities) …InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsGold is going to $3,000 (from Bank of America) …Though the price-targets vary, nearly all the big-bank analysts agree on one thing today …Gold is headed higher.Now, a skeptical investor might say "wait, oil prices have plummeted. Consumers have been locked inside not spending money. Even when we re-open the economy, it will be a staged comeback, which means half-speed. All of that is deflationary. And isn't deflation bad for gold prices?"To that, another investor might say, "deflation? The Fed just threw $6 trillion in new dollars at the economy! We're about to suffer hyperinflation so these gold price targets are way too low!"Both investors have a point.Today, let's discuss this and more. But I'll offer you the takeaway ahead of time …It's very likely gold is headed higher -- potentially much higher (though don't expect it to be in a straight line).In today's Digest, we'll look at why this is from three perspectives: 1) what's here now, 2) what's coming tomorrow, and 3) what we hope never comes.Let's jump in … ***What's here nowFriends, let's give a warm welcome to negative real interest rates.To make sure we're all on the same page, there's a difference between a stated (nominal) interest rate and an interest rate after adjusting for inflation.For example, if you're getting 4% interest in a savings account, yet inflation is at 2.5%, then the "real" interest rate is just 1.5%.Real interest rates reflect the actual purchasing power of your dollars -- and at the end of the day, this is really what matters.Take the 1970s …In that decade, we saw nominal interest rates climb to nearly 20%.A saver's dream, right?No.Inflation was so high that real interest rates reflected a much bleaker picture about the average investor's purchasing power.The chart below shows real interest rates in the 1970s mostly remaining below 2%, and even going negative.Source: World Bank ***Today, the combination of near-zero interest rates plus inflation means we're in a negative-real-interest rate environmentBelow, you'll see the 10-Year Treasury, adjusted for inflation. Its real interest rate is -0.43 as I write.Negative real interest rates steal wealth from people who are savers. That's because people with money in a low-yield bank account, or perhaps in a low-yield bond, are actually losing money in terms of their purchasing power after adjusting for inflation.So, why would people invest in these wealth-destroying assets?Well, many wouldn't -- which is why a huge rotation tends to happen in this type of environment … from these wealth-eroding assets … into gold, which pushes up gold's price.See for yourself …Below, you'll find the 10-Year Treasury Inflation-Index (in blue) alongside the price of gold (in orange) over the last decade. You can see a clear, inverse correlation.As real rates drop, gold climbs. As real rates climb, gold falls.On Tuesday, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Charles Evans said he "doesn't think there will be reason to raise rates anytime soon."From Evans:We just came through a long expansion, although we are in a much different environment right now, I think interest rates will remain low for a quite a long time.Translation -- negative real interest rates are here for the foreseeable future.Advantage, gold. ***Let's now turn to "what's coming tomorrow"So, here's where we get into a discussion about inflation versus deflation.We're officially in a recession.Last week, we learned that the U.S. economy contracted 4.8% in Q1. This was the first negative GDP reading since the 1.1% decline in the first quarter of 2014. It's also the largest decline since the recession in 2008 when GDP dropped 8.4%.So, what's the relationship between a recession and deflation?In a recession people lose jobs. Without jobs, there's far less spending on Main Street.There's also fear of the future. So, even those people with jobs tend to spend less. After all, they're worried they may lose their own jobs, or simply be ill-prepared for whatever economic pain lies beyond the horizon.This decrease in consumer spending pushes down the price of all types of goods. Desperate sellers have to lower prices in an attempt to lure shoppers back into a store.I just saw this with friends here in Los Angeles who own a wine shop. As lockdowns hobbled their business, they responded by offering a "25% off" campaign on wine purchases over $100 to try to bring customers out of the woodwork.This sets up a dynamic wherein you can buy the same products today for fewer dollars than they cost yesterday.This is deflation … and it's likely right around the corner.(For everyone in the inflation camp, hold onto that -- we'll circle back shortly.) ***At face value, this deflationary-dynamic would seem bad for goldAfter all, a dollar that can buy more "stuff" can also buy more gold. That's basically the same thing as gold becoming cheaper.But it's not a black-and-white dynamic.Take our most recent deflationary period around the 2008/2009 financial crisis. Economists suggest we were in a deflationary environment from December 2007 through June 2009.Below, you'll see the S&P 500 and the price of gold during that period. Gold ended 24% higher, while stocks fell 36% (over 50% at their lowest point).But if there was deflation, why didn't gold's price end lower?Because the turmoil in the economy was resulting in fear … and when investors are fearful, they often turn to gold.Remember, gold produces no cash-flows to help us value it. It doesn't generate profits we can measure.So, when it comes time to value gold (put a price on it) what drives its demand turns out to be … emotions.And what we usually find is that deflationary periods coincide with some sort of economic turmoil that produces fear, which pushes investors toward gold. ***Plus, keep in mind, even if gold's nominal price falls during a deflationary period, gold can still make investors wealthierHow? Simple -- gold's purchasing power increases.If I told you that the price of your gold was going to fall $100 an ounce, yet that same gold you own would be able to buy you, say, a much nicer car than before, would you really care about the $100 price drop? I suspect not.What matters is what that gold could get you in terms of other goods or services -- not some face-value number.This suggests an important takeaway -- as long the prices of consumer goods are falling more than the price of gold, then gold's purchasing power is actually increasing … even though, at face value, the dollar-price of gold may be falling too.But we're getting a little theoretical here, so let's move on. The broader point is that "deflation tomorrow" doesn't automatically mean bad news for gold. In fact, the fear surrounding deflationary events is usually great for gold.Now, let's turn toward our last perspective on this, which is something none of us want to see … ***"What we hope never comes"Let's start by discussing why this $6 trillion of new dollars from the Fed doesn't mean inflation tomorrow.A question for anyone reading this who believes hyperinflation is at our doorstep …Back around 2008/2009, due to the financial crisis, the U.S. printed trillions of new dollars, as you can see below …Yet, this avalanche of new money didn't result in significant, sustained inflation as many feared.Why?Short answer -- because the Fed's new dollars boosted the monetary base but not the money supply.To put it simply, even though the Fed created trillions of new dollars (the monetary base), most of it remained parked in the banks, shoring up destroyed balance sheets (which meant it didn't increase the money supply).In fact, only a fraction of it actually made its way into the U.S. economy. This prevented inflation. ***Even though the Fed just fired a "bazooka of liquidity" at the Coronavirus, these dollars aren't going to flood the economy with excess currency eitherWhy?Because the "velocity of money" is dropping precipitously.The velocity of money is basically a measure of how many times a dollar is used to purchase goods or services within a stated time period.So, why is it dropping?It's complicated, but in large part, the answer is massive debt plus fear.In a recession, or a deflationary environment, people either hold onto their money out of fear (which prevents it from circulating in the economy), or they pay down debts (which means those dollars aren't being used in a productive way that grows the economy).So, today, money -- even trillions in newly created money -- is not flying around our economy. Instead, it's being saved or used to shore up the destroyed personal balance sheets of millions of Americans.Plus, even if someone wanted to put money to work, the banks are tightening their lending. Two days ago, Bloomberg reported on how lenders have been tightening standards and terms on commercial and industrial loans of all sizes. Meanwhile, banks have been tightening standards on loans to households.Basically, money is not flowing smoothly around our economy. There's weak velocity of money.Unfortunately, you can't have significant inflation unless there's at least stable velocity of money.And that brings us to this chart from the St. Louis Fed showing today's velocity of money.Does the below look stable to you?This is why inflation isn't our immediate concern.But that doesn't mean it's not a concern… ***Why gold is mandatory to own in preparation for a "worst case" situationThe debt on the U.S. balance sheet just exploded.Now, our government has run up egregious debts for a long time. Why is today any different?Because it's coming at the same time that our economy has been crippled. So, when we compare our nation's productivity to our debts, it paints a frightening picture.As of last month, the U.S. debt-to-GDP number passed 100% (104% as of April). In other words, we owe more than we produce.So, we have the Fed bailing out everything (increasing our national debt) at the same time our economy is shrinking (decreasing our GDP).Put them together, and it means our debt-to-GDP ratio is going to keep climbing. I've read some experts suggest we'll hit 120%, even 130%.In related bad news, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget recently forecasted that public debt load will likely remain well above 100% until at least 2025.Okay, so what?Well, again, this is why we won't face inflation tomorrow. All these new dollars that are being created will simply be swallowed up by massive, unproductive debt payments … as opposed to being used in productive assets that would build out our economy, while speeding up the velocity of money.In other words, there's a huge difference between massive government debt that goes to putting food on citizens' tables and keeping the lights on, versus massive government debt that supports a thriving economic buildout. ***But let's jump to the scariest response to "so what?" -- it's what we must avoidIf our economic situation gets worse … if Coronavirus keeps coming back, depressing economic activity … if people continue to require bailout money … basically, when we've borrowed so much relative to our national productivity that other nations question our good faith and we have trouble funding the needs of the nation … we could see pressure to change the Federal Reserve Act to allow the Fed to fund the Treasury directly.In other words, that truly would be our government paying down its debts with phantom dollars.And that's when we'd set ourselves on the path of the Germany in the 1920s or Zimbabwe in the late 2000s … which would mean God-help-you if you don't own some gold.Now, while I don't believe that's going to happen, we'd be foolish to believe it couldn't happen. Case in point, just weeks ago, The Bank of England agreed to temporarily lend its government money directly.From Reuters:Thursday's announcement allows the government to borrow billions of pounds direct from its overdraft with the BoE rather than always immediately needing to go to financial markets which could face further coronavirus-related disruption …From EPB Macro Research:Given the relatively small scale of this facility, the GBP (the British Pound) did not collapse … Still, it does start an uncomfortable precedent of direct money printing, an action not currently permitted by the Federal Reserve.To be clear -- I am not predicting we'll see this in the U.S. anytime in the near future.I believe we'll claw our way out of this hardship without resorting to such measures. But today's discussion wouldn't be complete unless we mentioned it.Bottom line, "what's here now" is good for gold … "what's coming tomorrow" is most likely good for gold … and "what we hope never comes" would be monumental for gold.Please go buy some.Have a good evening,Jeff RemsburgThe post Go Buy Gold appeared first on InvestorPlace.

Co-Founders discuss the execution of their vision and exciting future plans

Peninsula General's website continues to offer a fast, online auto insurance quote system that was released in early September 2018.

This week, we highlight three new titles from the ASPA Series in Public Administration and Public Policy.

Market disruptions, climate change, and health pandemics lead the growing list of challenges faced by today’s leaders. These issues, along with countless others that do not make the daily news, require novel thinking and collaborative action to find workable solutions. However, many administrators stumble into collaboration without a strategic orientation.

Using a practitioner-oriented style, Strategic Collaboration In Public And Non-Profit Administration: A Practice-Based Approach To Solving Shared Problems provides guidance on how to collaborate more effectively, with less frustration and better results.

Linking collaboration theory to effective practice, this book offers essential advice that fosters shared understanding, creative answers, and transformation results through strategic collaborative action. With an emphasis on application, it uses scenarios, real-world cases, tables, figures, tools, and checklists to highlight key points.

The appendix includes supplemental resources such as collaboration operating guidelines, a meeting checklist, and a collaboration literature review to help public and nonprofit managers successfully convene, administer, and lead collaboration. The book presents a framework for engaging in collaboration in a way that stretches current thinking and advances public service practice.

A guidebook through the minefield of government contracting and procurement, Government Contracting: Promises and Perils describes the dangerous practices commonly applied in the development and management of government contracts and provides advice for avoiding the sort of errors that might compromise their ability to protect the public interest.

It includes strategies for increasing profits for government contractors, rather than incurring burdensome costs, through compliance with government mandated subcontracting and financial management systems.

Drawing from his in-depth investigation of government agencies across the country, the author examines present-day scenarios that regularly lead public servants and government committees to manage contracts with tools that are less than optimal and to select contractors that may not be the best qualified. He then delineates practical processes, contracting documents, and contract management tools to mitigate detrimental outcomes and alternative approaches to supplant the imperfect methodologies.

The author includes a CD-ROM with the book that provides a number of practical tools that you can apply as well as examples of contracts and templates that are the best he discovered during his research. The book also outlines an approach for performing advance contract planning, conducting contract negotiations, and administering contracts useful when planning for the management of the contracting process throughout the contracting cycle, negotiating a contract that protects the interest of all contracting parties, and ensuring successful contractor performance.

Filling a gap in project management literature, Managing Public Sector Projects: A Strategic Framework for Success in an Era of Downsized Government supplies managers and administrators—at all levels of government—with expert guidance on all aspects of public sector project management.

From properly allocating risks in drafting contracts to dealing with downsized staffs and privatized services, this book clearly explains the technical concepts and the political issues involved.

In line with the principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) and the PMBOK^® (Project Management Body of Knowledge), David S. Kassel establishes a framework those in the public sector can follow to ensure the success of their public projects and programs. He supplies more than 30 real-life examples to illustrate the concepts behind the framework—including reconstruction projects in Iraq, the Big Dig project in Boston, local sewer system and library construction projects, and software technology.

This authoritative resource provides strategic recommendations for effective planning, execution, and maintenance of public projects. It also:

• Highlights the differences between managing projects in the public sector versus the private sector
• Explains how to scrutinize costs, performance claims, and the backgrounds of prospective contractors
• Presents key safeguards that should be included in all contracts with contractors, consultants, suppliers, and other service providers
• Details the basics of project cost estimation, design and scheduling, and how to hold contractors responsible for meeting established project standards

In an age of downsized government and in the face of a general distrust of public service, this book is a dependable guide for avoiding management practices that are common to projects that fail and for adopting the practices common to projects that succeed in terms of cost, schedule, and quality.

We wanted to share important (and frankly, frightening) news with you regarding the findings released last week of an audit of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

The audit (42p. PDF) was prompted in part by the loss of the Wright Brothers' original patent and maps for atomic bomb missions in Japan.

These losses led investigators to discover that some of the nation's prized historical documents are in danger of being lost for good. It follows a previous audit (66p. PDF) earlier in October highlighting oversight and management improvements, but pointing out that more action was needed.

The Government Accountability Office has also released a Summary Of Audit Findings as well as a Highlights page. The NARA website has posted a Statement in response to the audit findings from Archivist of the United States David S. Ferriero.

Nearly 80 percent of U.S. government agencies are at risk of illegally destroying public records and the National Archives is backlogged with hefty volumes of records needing preservation care, the audit by the Government Accountability Office found.

The report by the watchdog arm of Congress, completed this month after a year's work, also found many U.S. agencies do not follow proper procedures for disposing of public records.

The report comes more than a year after news reports of key items missing at the nation's record-keeping agency. Some of the items have been missing for decades but their absence only became widely known in recent years.

The patent file for the Wright Brothers flying machine was last seen in 1980 after passing around multiple Archives offices, the Patents and Trademarks Office and the National Air and Space Museum.

As for maps for the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, military representatives checked them out in 1962, and they've been missing ever since.

The GAO report did not specifically mention those or other examples of missing items including Civil War telegrams from Abraham Lincoln, Eli Whitney's cotton gin patent and some NASA photographs on the moon.

Meanwhile, some documents face the threat of deterioration even though they're already at the Archives. Figures from 2009 show 65 percent of its holdings need preservation steps. In some cases, a document's condition already is so poor, it can't be read – a backlog amounting to more than 2 million cubic feet of records.

The National Archives and Records Administration has 44 facilities in 20 states, including 13 presidential libraries, funded by about $470 million this year from Congress.

NARA also maintains a "Help The National Archives Recover Lost And Stolen Documents" website.

Beginning today, Northwestern University's Transportation Library begins its Google Books Digitization Project.

The University Libraries and Google are partnering to digitize hundreds of thousands of print volumes from their collections, rendering the contents readily available to scholars and researchers worldwide.

This is no small undertaking. The Transportation Library alone is one of the most extensive in the United States, containing over 500,000 items.

The Committee on Institutional Cooperation, a consortium of the Midwest's Big Ten Schools' plus the University of Chicago, signed on to digitize their libraries in June, 2007 but the process is just getting underway this Fall.

The project is expected to take several years, but the Transportation Library is one of the first campus libraries to send library items to Google for digitization. Google covers the transportation and digitization costs and Northwestern has received a generous donation from the Office of the Provost to help cover other technical costs.

We are told that books sent to Google for digitization may be off the shelves for up to three months. Once everything eligible for converting into electronic format has been digitized, those searching the library catalog will have the choice of borrowing the original print item or accessing the full-text document online.

Results from Google Book Search show up in both general Google searches as well as through the dedicated Google Books site.

The entire Google Books project has been a source of controversy over the last decade. Some hail the initiative's capacity to provide "anytime, anywhere" access to all of human knowledge. Others question the application of copyright laws for works published in one place but accessed around the world.

The Google Books enterprise is a complicated endeavor. While access to the ever-increasing (and increasingly digitized) world of knowledge is great, how can Google maintain a high-level of retrievability from a growing pool of millions of items? A recent article in The Atlantic highlights this challenge, with a concise overview of "Rich Results," Google's latest search algorithm that helps users find what they're looking for...even when they don't specifically ask for it.

Last month, Google speculated that it had scanned more than 15 million books from more than 100 countries in over 400 languages since 2004. Google Books' Engineering Director James Crawford went on to state:

"Our shared vision of bringing all the incredible content stored in the world's books online depends on working with libraries, publishers, authors and book lovers.

The greater the diversity of content on the web, the more useful it becomes. And the more people who can access the information cataloged in books, the more enlightening those works become."

That’s good. You can get the link to the pattern from the group.
