    CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH
    January 24, 1848 - Sutter's Mill, Coloma, California

    This initiated the California Gold Rush and during the next few years, thousands of people flocked to the area to search for gold. Some nuggets of gold in the native metallic form were simply lying on the ground. More were found by panning streambeds, and later, increasingly technological mining methods were employed. John A. Sutter was building a sawmill at Coloma on the American Fork River, to provide lumber for construction projects. His contractor, James W. Marshall made the first discovery of specimens of gold, which he showed to Sutter, who chemically identified it was gold. Further samples were found in the grave of the tail-race of the mill. As recently as 2011, the discovery in northern California of a 100-ounce gold nugget was reported.

    The Selective Sequence Electronic Calculator handled both data and instructions using electronic circuits made with 13,500 vacuum tubes and 21,000 relays. It occupied three sides of a 30-ft x 60-ft room. On the back wall, three punches and thirty readers provided paper-tape storage. Banks of vacuum tube circuits for card reading and sequence control and 36 paper tape readers comprising the table-lookup section occupied the left wall. Most of the right wall was filled by the electronic arithmetic unit and storage. In the center of the room were card readers, card punches, printers, and the operator's console. It was visible to pedestrians on the sidewalk outside.

    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

ARTICLE CONTENT :

Many people who are looking for a mortgage loan may think that they can only get it at an official Canadian bank. The truth is, there are only 5 major banks in Canada while there are over 70 lenders that can provide you with many choices.

The banks want to keep this a secret. As a matter of fact, the mortgage rates that lenders offer are far more competitive than those at most major banks such as BMO, CIBC, RBC, TD and Scotia. While consumers do not enjoy the lender?s mortgage rates, the certified mortgage brokers do.

With just one touch of a button, the Canadian brokers have access to lenders themselves or the sources, allowing them the opportunity to research mortgage rates and services and products.

For a person who wants to have the best mortgage rate doing the research himself would take more than a year to visit all 70 lenders. On the other hand, a mortgage broker can do the task in just a few hours, because they have online access to such information, hence; they can save you time, money and effort.

The banks may only offer between 5 and 6 different products and rates including New to Canada, Fix rates, Closed Mortgages, Open mortgages, No Income Mortgages and Variable Rate Mortgages. To keep themselves competitive towards the major banks, the 70 lenders offer between 10 and 15 products. However, not all products and services are applicable to every client.

The problem is how can you find the ideal mortgage product and rate without researching all the lenders. As their profession, mortgage brokers glimpse hastily through the complex nature of mortgages for their clients, making it difficult for their client to differentiate the difference among 70 lender?s mortgage products and rates. Hence, it will be virtually impossible for the clients to figure out the ideal mortgage.

With software, mortgage brokers search for mortgage products that can be useful for you. This gives you quick and accurate information. Then you can decide which lender fits your financial condition and requirements.

Any bank in Canada will tell you that private mortgage lenders would love to work with people who have bad credit, because they can charge them higher fees. Most banks will not give you a loan if you have bad credit.

A private mortgage lending service works will all sorts of people. In contrast, many private mortgage lenders do not charge a fee for their services. The banks on the other hand do.

By offering all services to customers regardless of their credit score, Canadian Mortgage lenders help their customers save money, which creates good customer relations. In the end, such good service earns lenders more clients through referrals.

There are many lending opportunities that are not as expensive as what most major banks offer. Through the official Canadian banking system, people can enjoy reasonable mortgage rates. The only thing people need to do is to visit a private mortgage broker and discuss with him the available options.
