Hackers are reportedly using an unauthorized cross-site stored scripting (XSS) flaw in a WordPress plugin to target thousands of websites, experts have warned.
Cybercriminals can use XSS for a number of things, from stealing sensitive data and sessions, to completely taking over a vulnerable website. In this particular case, the threat actors can create administrator accounts, which is enough privilege to take control of the entire website.
Millions of websites affected
The creators of Lovely Cookies recently released a bug patch, so if you’re using the plugin, be sure to update it to version 2.10.2.
“According to our records, the vulnerability has been actively attacked since February 5, 2023, but this is the largest attack we have seen against it,” Defiant’s Ram Gall said. “We have blocked nearly 3 million attacks on more than 1.5 million websites, from nearly 14,000 IP addresses since May 23, 2023, and the attacks are continuing.”
The silver lining in the news is that the attackers’ exploit appears to be misconfigured in a way that is unlikely to spread a payload, even if it targets a website running an old, vulnerable version of the plugin. However, researchers urge webmasters and owners to apply the patch, as even a failed attempt can mess up the plugin configuration.
The patch also sorts this issue out, as the plugin is able to fix itself.
Moreover, once the hacker realizes his error, he can quickly remedy it and infect sites that are not yet patched.

West Bengal Left leaders assail Congress, announce agitationJuly 8th, 2008 - 10:31 pm ICT by IANS
Kolkata, July 8 (IANS) After deciding to withdraw support to the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance, the Left parties Tuesday announced plans to launch an extensive campaign against the centre on the India-US nuclear deal and the spiralling prices of essential commodities. “We will start a sustained campaign against the UPA’s attempts to operationalise the nuke deal and its failure to curb inflation,” West Bengal’s ruling Left Front chairman and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) state secretary Biman Bose told reporters here.
The Left would organise a rally in Delhi July 14 and begin a mass campaign from the next day. “The campaign will continue till August 31,” Left Front partner and Communist Party of India (CPI) state secretary Manju Kumar Majumdar told IANS.
Criticising Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for announcing on way to Japan that the UPA government would approach the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for safeguards agreement, Bose said: “He has not done justice to his post”.
The four communist parties - CPI-M, CPI, Revolutionary Socialist Party and the Forward Bloc - which announced withdrawal of support to the UPA, are partners in the Left Front that has been in power in the state since 1977.
RSP secretary Debabrata Bandopadhyay alleged the Congress had kept the Left “completely in the dark” on the deal.
“We had asked the centre to show us the text. But they did not. This deal will affect India’s sovereignty. They (the UPA government) have also sacrificed our independent foreign policy,” Bandopadhyay told IANS.
Majumdar attacked the Congress, saying: “The party had decided to sell the country’s sovereignty to the US. So, it did not pay heed to our opposition to the deal. When the country is reeling under the impact of the price rise, the government’s sole agenda is the nuclear deal”.
“We had supported the government on the basis of the Common Minimum Programme (CMP). The deal had no mention in the document. The imperialist forces want to establish their sway over India. This deal is part of that design,” he added.

Day 48: Double Zero in Taumarunui
Wednesday, December 27, 2023 1:33 pm
Location: Taumarunui / Twin River Motel (1056.5 km)
We took another another day of rest and chores in Taumarunui, as we prepared for the next week and a half of the trail.
- We got up at 5:30 to be ready to head to Taumarunui Canoe Hire at 6:30 when our shuttle there arrived.
- Our driver was here promptly on time. On our way to their base, we stopped and picked up Craig and Kirsty (the Scottish couple we met on our way into Hamilton), who were on their way by foot.
- Our briefing, at 7, was quite informative on how to handle canoes on the Whanganui River.
- We planned on a three-day trip from Whakahoro to Pipiriki, and asked about cycling the rest of the way to Whanganui. When we were told the campsite itinerary we had been asked to book was assuming five days to Whanganui, the last day of our three-day float would only be one hour, and that we’d need to contact “the mail lady” about shuttling our packs (since we wouldn’t want to bike 70 km while wearing our packs), I immediately knew this would be an expensive logistical nightmare. We asked about continuing on the river. The primary concern was about the difficulty of the river, and the lower half of the river is apparently easier than the upper half we had to do anyway. So we decided to just extend the trip all the way to Whanganui. (Fortunately, 5 days doesn’t cost more than 3 days.)
- After repacking our resupply we purchased yesterday into barrels for the boat, we returned to town.
- It drizzled on us a bit on our way back. That was the extent of the rain for the day; afterwards, it became hot and bright, with striking puffy white clouds in the sky.
- We got “serviced” hut tickets from the iSite, in case CareFree needs them on the Round the Mountain loop we might do, weather permitting, since we have extra time between now and when we need to be at Whakahoro for canoeing. We also got breakfast.
- The tube for my water bladder had collected a lot of mold over the past month and a half. We’d intended to stop at the outfitter in town to see if they had something to help, but they weren’t open yet. On a hunch, I asked our motel’s manager (who was in the process of doing housekeeping on other rooms) if they had a long brush that could work to clean it out, but they didn’t have one both small and long enough to do the job.
- We packed up, and moved across the street to Twin River Motel (coincidentally, into the same room number as we’d had at Alexander Motel). I asked the manager there if she had something that might help. She didn’t, but offered to think about it for a bit. A few minutes later, she came back with a couple of brushes that didn’t work for the hose (but worked great in cleaning out the mold in my water bottle), a straightened-out clothes hanger, and a cut-up tea towel. CareFree added a small bit of duct tape to the tip of the clothes hanger to keep it from poking through the towel (and the tube), but in the end, the towel wasn’t necessary; the taped-up clothes hanger was sufficient to rub the mold off the inside of the tube.
- We called the Whakapapa Holiday Park, towards the end of the trail in the Tongariro National Park, and asked if they’d be willing to hold a package for us. They said yes. We then went to the stationary store in town which also has an NZ Post desk. We confirmed with them that if we got a package ready by 3:00 pm, that should be enough time to get it to the holiday park by when we’ll get there. (Holidays, weekends, and rural delivery are complicating matters.)
- We went to McDonald’s for lunch, and to finalize the plan for the next week from Taumarunui to Whakahoro. The weather is a significant complicating factor. What we ended up with is: we carry five days of food out of town, leaving tomorrow. We booked two nights at Tongariro Holiday Park (near the north end of the trail in Tongariro National Park). We hope that the weather will either improve, or else maybe we stay a third night. After that, we do the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, which is supposed to be one of the most amazing trails in New Zealand (and not worth doing — or dangerous — in bad weather). That brings us to Whakapapa Holiday Park, where we collect our resupply box. Again weather depending, we then either take the Around the Mountain trail (in two or three days) which loops around Ruapehu, the tallest mountain on the North Island, and then head west, to the tiny town of National Park, and then on to Whakahoro for the Whanganui River. It’s all annoying complicated, and largely out of our hands, but we’ll make the best of it we can.
- We did our resupply in record time, and were done with buying, repacking, and mailing off our box with 20 minutes to spare. We continued to be impressed at the relatively low-cost of sending packages in New Zealand.
- All of our chores done, we relaxed for the rest of the day, repacked our food in our packs, and got pizza for dinner.

Cancer patients admitted to hospital as emergency cases need better care and management, a report has claimed.
The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) and the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) looked at the care received by patients who are admitted via A&E, as well as that provided by GPs and other caregivers.
They concluded that improved decision-making and more coordinated care and communication are needed when patients are admitted to hospital.
More proactive care is needed to ensure a better response and the most appropriate treatment when a person becomes acutely unwell.
Some patients undergo repeated investigations and interventions, particularly when they are nearing the end of their life, that do not benefit them.
Dr Jane Barrett, president of the RCR, said that patient care and joint decision-making 'must be at the centre of cancer services'.
She remarked: 'As clinical oncologists an important part of our role is to ensure that a patient understands their treatment and [is] able to decide what is best for them, cancer treatment cannot be a one-sided process.
'This report gives healthcare professionals recommendations to provide the best care and patients the tools to play an active role in the decisions made about their care.'
The recommendations contained in the report were welcomed by England's national cancer director, Professor Sir Mike Richards, who told the BBC that everyone involved should 'make the positive changes recommended here to improve the care of cancer patients in crisis'.

Attorney General Sessions Testifies Before Senate Intelligence Committee
Attorney General Jeff Sessions testified in front of the senate intelligence committee today, following former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony last week.
Comey testified that he believed sessions would recuse himself from the investigation into Russian intervention in the 2016 presidential election before he actually did, stating it was because of, “facts that I can’t discuss in an open setting that would make his continued engagement in a Russia-related investigation problematic.”
Sessions categorically denied meeting with any Russian officials regarding any election or campaign interference in his opening statement. Furthermore, he asserted that he had no knowledge of anyone else connected with President Trump’s campaign having any conversation regarding interference with any Russian or foreign official.
These denials come after reports that Sessions and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak had both attended an event at the Mayflower Hotel, though it is unclear whether or not Kislyak and Sessions actually had a meeting at the event. Sessions had testified during his confirmation hearing that he had met with the Russian ambassador only twice during the course of the presidential campaign.
During today’s testimony, Sessions claimed he could not recall a third meeting with Kislyak, nor could he recall whether Kislyak had met with Jared Kushner.
Democratic Senator Mark Warner refuted this statement, saying, “The fact is that you did indeed have interactions with Russian government officials during the course of the campaign”.
Sessions directly contradicted parts of Comey’s testimony, saying that he was not silent (as Comey claimed) when Comey expressed concern over meeting with President Trump. Sessions also claimed that any allegations accusing him of colluding with Russia were, “appalling and detestable lie.”
Sessions also claimed that Comey was fired due to deficiencies, and refused to discuss President Trump’s comments about Comey’s firing being a result of the Russia investigation.
Notably, Sessions refused to answer questions regarding any conversations he had with President Trump, apparently in case the President wanted to claim executive privilege. Senator Martin Heinrich slammed Sessions for the decision, saying that, “My understanding to this, you took an oath…to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and now you’re not telling the truth.”
Democratic Senators were frustrated with Sessions throughout his testimony, due to perceptions that he was dodging questions. Senator Ron Ogden expressed that, “I believe the American people have had it with stonewalling. Americans don’t want to hear that answers to relevant questions are privileged or off limits.” Sessions expressed that he believed he was following the policies of the Department of Justice in refusing to recount conversations with the President.
Senator Warner warned Sessions that today’s testimony was, “just the beginning of our interaction with you and our department.”

Watching President Obama address the joint session of Congress and the American People made me proud. For the first time in years, we have a president who is intelligent, articulate and focused on the needs of the people. He is exactly the transformational president I voted for last November. I feel more safe now than ever. We are in good hands.
I’m so sorry that Bobby Jindal came out swinging, giving the entire Republican Party one big black eye. He had the nerve to blame the government for its poor response to Katrina, the Republican government! He concludes that government [under his own party] was broken, so let’s not try to fix it?
Don’t worry, Barack Obama is in charge, and he will fix this government.

UTAA slams ST community leadership within govt for playing politics
CANACONA: Speakers at United Tribal Associations Alliance (UTAA) meeting in Canacona hit out at the ST community leadership within the government for playing politics and undermining the community’s uprising.
The community said it will not rest till justice is done in every sphere of governance.
An awareness meeting was held at Yedda in Cotigao given the postponement of the celebration of World Tribal Day (9th July), in which UTAA president Prakash Velip, besides Arts and Culture Minister Govind Gawade, Durgadas Gawade, ZP(Poinguinim) Shobhana Velip, Gomant Gaud Maratha president Vishwas Gaude and other community leaders spoke on the injustice being done to the community in various spheres.
Prakash Velip, without naming anyone, however, openly hit out at the community leaders within the government for playing hidden politics even to the extent of allotting the Tribal Welfare portfolio to the community member within the cabinet, in a virtual reference to Minister Govind Gawade.
Speaking further, Velip said, ‘ come 2027 elections, after having met our demands for ST reservation, there should be an ST Chief Minister in Goa. Stating UTAA is the backbone of the ST community, no one should unnecessarily try to pull down the legs of ST leaders or try to spoil the image of leaders affiliated with UTAA, and even if the said force belongs to ST Community will not be tolerated at any cost’.
“Unfortunately, some leaders belonging to the community are pulling the legs of our own leaders, and the classic example is inspite of having a well-versed and capable minister in the ST community in the cabinet, the Tribal Welfare ministry is not given to him. And for this, more than the government, our own ST leadership within the government is responsible, and unfortunately, the same force is trying to put division in the togetherness of the ST community. Due to this crab mentality of some of our own ST leaders, our community is still lagging behind”, said Gomant Gaud Maratha president Vishwas Gaude.
UTAA secretary Dr Uday Gaonkar said, ‘ST community has never got anything without agitations or compelling authorities to provide justice, henceforth it would be necessary to make some the St leaderships to understand the history of the community.
Also spoken on occasion were Durgadas Gawade, Arjun Gaonkar, and Anand Gaonkar gave the vote of thanks while Daya Gaonkar compeered the awareness meeting.

RV Mattress vs Residential Mattress
Rv mattresses are not the same as a residential mattress. Mattresses in an RV tend to be shorter, narrower and not as thick as a residential mattress. An RV makes use of every inch of space all amenities and storage. Weight is also a consideration, therefore an RV mattresses will be a lighter weight than a mattress for your home.
Determine your RV mattress size
There are 11 common rv mattress sizes from twin to king size. Depending on the size of your RV will determine what size works best for you. The most common mattress size is a RV full/double, it measures 53 in. x 75 in..
RV Twin Mattress – 28 X 75-80 in
RV Bunk Mattress – 28-35 X 75-80 in
RV Truck Mattress – 35-42 X 79-80 in
RV Three Quarter Mattress – 48 X 75 in
RV Full/Double Mattress – 53 X 75 in
RV Short Queen Mattress – 60 X 75 in
RV Queen Mattress – 60 X 80 in
RV Short King Mattress – 72 X 75 in
RV King Mattress – 72 X 80 in
RV Eastern King Mattress – 76 X 80 in
RV California King Mattress – 72 X 84 in
Determine Your RV Mattress Size
The best way to determine what size mattress you need is to measure the old mattress or even better measure the base area that the mattress rests on. Measuring the base is more accurate because the mattress in your RV may have been replaced with the wrong size or older mattresses may have lost its shape over time.
RV Mattress Types
There are a variety of materials used to make mattresses to suit any budget and comfort level.
Innerspring or Coil RV Mattresses
Innerspring mattresses are very affordable and offer pillow top cushioning. There is a chance the coils may rust if you travel in hot and humid areas.
Foam RV Mattress
This is the most common RV mattress because of its price. The density of the foam is a little on the light side and can’t withstand much body weight leaving depressions in the mattress over time. This type of mattress would be a good option if you only use your RV a few times a year. If you like the idea of a foam mattress and are looking for something more durable and comfortable, consider a memory foam mattress.
Memory Foam RV Mattress
Memory foam mattresses are usually made with several layers of foam. A high density layer as the base and a memory foam layer on the top. They also can be made with a cooling gel layer to avoid getting hot.
Latex mattress can be pricey but are long lasting.
A hybrid mattress is made of a mix of different style mattresses. They will consist of different layers of foam as well as coil springs for comfort.
An air mattress may appeal to you because of the weight savings. They do make some that can offer different firmness levels for each sleeper, but they are also expensive. It may not be as comfortable as other options. There is also the risk of a leak that will ruin a good night’s sleep.

Patios. Friday , June 29th , 2018 - 22:38:11 PM
Most of you will want to do some serious barbequing on your patio and some go as far as installing complete outdoor kitchens. Once again, before you spend that kind of money make sure you have all the appropriate permits. Unless you are a serious do-it-yourself type person, you will probably want to consult a professional about making that kind of commitment. You may also want to consider building a grill island and these can become quite expensive.
There are many different kinds of material to consider when looking for patio ideas. The most important elements of the patio would be the colours, textures and designs used: if this works, the patio could be bare and still look inviting and comfortable. Cobbles, flagstone, tiles and cladding are all different ideas to look at, just remember to first look at their qualities before making a decision. Compare their durability, looks, textures, colours and strength.
Particularly in the United Kingdom, having a water feature integrated into your decking or patio is common. This provides a focal point and in a countryside setting allows wildlife such as toads, newts and frogs to live within your garden. In conjunction with a retaining stone wall, which will allow insects to flourish, putting bird feeders on your decking will encourage local birds to visit.
There are of course many different patio ideas for homeowners to choose from, and not every patio will be the right choice for every homeowner. After all, part of the beauty of a well designed patio is the fact that it is a personal reflection of the taste, style, creativity and originality of the man or woman who installs it. There is nothing quite as great as installing a patio for increasing your living space without the expense and hassle or building an additional room or home extension.
4) Add night bloomers. There are night-blooming plants that can be surprisingly effective for a nighttime garden. Many vines like moonflower bloom only at night, and the smell of honeysuckle in the evening is divine. Also consider plants that may not look amazing, but smell amazing. Sticking some herbs in between flagstones can be effective -- as people walk on them, the smell is delicious.
3) Add some warmth. Extend the season for your patio by adding a fire pit or even an outdoor heater. These also add more light and create an immediate focal point -- everyone who steps out into your backyard will know immediately where the party is. The best outdoor fires are surrounded by thick walls that radiate heat, but even a metal trash can works if that is all you've got. Don't forget the marshmallows!

Welcome back to another blog post of the seasonal flower series I started just last month. Time has gone by so quickly and I cannot believe we are already in June!
I hope these posts are giving you inspiration for your floral décor, based on what is in season when you will be getting married, and the different combination of textures and feel you can achieve just by changing the flower selection.
Here are my personal favourite June flowers for UK weddings:
Tall, but still delicate, Delphiniums come in a variety of colours including deep blue. They are perfect for a country house style wedding, but they can be used with incredible results for luxury weddings as well. I personally love them to give height in arrangements flanking the aisle and at the bottom of arches and floral columns. I have however used them in both refined and wildflower style bouquets and table arrangements as well. One of the coolest projects of last year was a peacock arrangement for a 50th birthday party and the head and tail feathers were delphinium flowers.
Large umbrellas of tiny white lace-like flowers, which are perfect to give a delicate touch to any arrangement. The flowers have movement and bounce, and are often used as fillers in floristry. For a wildflower signature look, think about runners of Ammi flowers on your tables, interspersed with other seasonal June flowers as for example Cornflowers and Nigella, for a pop of colour. Another interesting use of Ammi is to create cloud-like arrangements only featuring this elegant flower. Imagine how striking it would look in a large urn.
Another dainty looking flowers, that makes up for the smaller size with punchy colours. You can in fact find them in pure white, pink, intense pink and true blue. Did you know the most valuable sapphire gems are called Cornflower Blue gems? I love them as accents in bouquets and to create buttonholes with, where they work really well due to their smaller size, while creating a large arrangements with them would take quite a few stems and would not have the same impact. Nevertheless, they are perfect for bud vases to create pops of colour on your table!
June is the month of incredible accent flowers, as you might have gathered. Astrantia is another one of these beautifully perfect gifts of nature, with a pillow-y shape (it’s also called Hattie’s pincushion!) and great range of colours from creamy white to shades of pink to burgundy. I particularly love it coupled with roses, spray roses, waxflower, Astilbe to create a very textured feel, with a touch of vintage.
Clusters of star-like small flowers which are perfect to add airiness to bouquets, posies and table arrangements. Great as well for buttonholes and corsages, this flower has been a recent discovery of mine. I had never used before and I just started ordering it to add on to mixed seasonal bunches of British Flowers. It’s often bicolour and can be used to add accents of particular shades as purple, lilac and blue, without being overpowering.
POPPY SEED HEADS
I’m a lover of poppies, their range of colours and sheer magical beauty. And I’m as much as a fan of them as seed heads. Fresh seed heads are available in June while dried ones a little further in the year, both have tons of personality and add interest to any arrangement, bouquets, buttonholes, corsages. They look fantastic by themselves in minimal bud vases and as well when mixed in with any other flower.
An elegant, exquisite and intricate flower in muted tones, find paired with roses and large blooms to create textured arrangements and add lightness to them. It looks absolutely stunning also by itself, I love using it in bridal bouquets together with other flowers, and couple this with smaller bridesmaids posies of only Astilbe. It creates a beautiful look and focuses the attention on the bridal bouquet.

Following are details from the state Crop/Weather Report:
Kansas: For the week ending March 10, 2013, many areas of Kansas continued to receive much needed moisture according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Kansas Field Office. The Kansas wheat crop has started to green up and operators are top-dressing fields where conditions permit. Topsoil moisture supplies were rated as 18 percent very short, 30 percent short, 46 percent adequate, and 6 percent surplus. Kansas subsoil moisture supplies were rated as 41 percent very short, 42 percent short, 16 percent adequate, and 1 percent surplus. Producers averaged only 2.3 days suitable for fieldwork last week. The condition of the Kansas winter wheat crop was rated as11 percent very poor, 21 percent poor, 41 percent fair, 26 percent good, and 1 percent excellent. Eighty-one percent of the crop had no wind damage, 14 percent had light wind damage, 4 percent had moderate wind damage, and 1 percent had severe wind damage. Eight-six percent of the crop had no freeze damage, 9 percent had light freeze damage, 4 percent had moderate freeze damage, and 1 percent had severe freeze damage.
Texas: The Plains experienced warmer temperatures after the previous week’ssnowfall, and areas in theCross Timbers and Blacklands received some precipitation. Rainfall remained scarce, however, across the rest of the state as high winds continued to deplete topsoil moisture. Producers from the Plains to North East Texas top dressed small grain crops and began to apply pesticides as warmer conditions caused some wheat fields to green up. In the Trans-Pecos, oat planting was underway. The condition of the Texas winter wheat crop was rated as 16 percent very poor, 28 percent poor, 38 percent fair, 17 percent good, and 1 percent excellent.
Oklahoma: Eastern Oklahoma saw significant rainfall from a storm over the weekend, topping two inches in some areas. Snow continued to melt in western Oklahoma from the previous week’s blizzard and parts of northwestern Oklahoma received additional precipitation of an inch or more. The state averaged 0.74 of an inch of precipitation for the week, with the Southeast district averaging 1.89 inches. The rainfall and snow from the past few weeks have improved wheat and canola conditions, but 41 percent of wheat and 53 percent of canola was rated poor to very poor. The U.S. Drought Monitor from March 7th showed improvement in Beaver and Texas Counties, with some areas moving from D-4 drought down to D-3. Overall, the state was still in a severe to exceptional drought, with 9.54 percent of the state rated as exceptional (D-4) drought, down from 11.8 percent the week prior. The worst drought conditions continue to be in the Panhandle and southwestern Oklahoma. Topsoil moisture conditions continued to be rated mostly adequate, but the percentage rated short increased from the previous week. Subsoil moisture conditions were still rated mostly short to very short with 12 percent of the state rated as adequate. There were only 4.8 days suitable for fieldwork on average across the state, due to the rainfall and melting snow. Condition ratings for all small grains and canola continued to improve. Wheat and canola were rated mostly fair to poor, while rye and oats were rated mostly good to fair. Wheat jointing was 21 percent complete by Sunday, 16 points behind this time last year, but four points ahead of the five-year average. The condition of the Oklahoma winter wheat crop was rated as 17 percent very poor, 24 percent poor, 39 percent fair, 19 percent good, and 1 percent excellent.

E53 - Does CBD have COVID-19 ACE'd?
July 31, 2020
What were you doing during the start of the pandemic lock down? Did you build a puzzle for the first time in year? Did you get reacquainted with how stupid and long and frustrating monopoly is? How about sour dough bread? Did you make your first sour dough? Dr. Igor Kovalchuk and his wife, Dr. Olga Kovalchuk from the University of Lethbridge were locked out of their labs too. Their lock down side project was a little more ambitious. They had been researching hundreds of cannabis extracts to see if these extracts reduced inflammation and might help treat conditions like multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis. During this forced pause in their research, they wondered in CBD rich cannabis extracts might be useful against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. You want to hear what they found out.

The tale was one collected by the Brothers Grimm in the edition of Children's and Household Tales. In order to appear superior, a miller lies to the king, telling him that his daughter can spin straw into gold some versions make the miller's daughter blonde and describe the "straw-into-gold" claim as a careless boast the miller makes about the way his daughter's straw-like blond hair takes on a gold-like lustre when sunshine strikes it.
The king calls for the girl, shuts her in a tower room filled with straw and a spinning wheel Rumpelstilzchen - Gebrüder Grimm / Hans Christian Andersen - Rumpelstilzchen / Tölpelhans , and demands she spin the Rumpelstilzchen - Gebrüder Grimm / Hans Christian Andersen - Rumpelstilzchen / Tölpelhans into gold by morning or he will cut off her head other versions have the king threatening to lock her up in a dungeon forever.
When next morning the king takes the girl to a larger room filled with straw to repeat the feat, the imp once again spins, in return for the girl's ring. On the third day, when the girl has been taken to an even larger room filled with straw and told by the king that he will marry her if she can fill this room with gold or execute her if she cannot, the girl has nothing left with which to pay the strange creature.
He extracts from her a promise that she will give him her firstborn child and so he spins the straw into gold a final time In some versions, the imp appears and begins to turn the straw into gold, paying no heed to the girl's protests that she Charles Brown - Charles Brown Sings The Blues nothing to pay him with; when he finishes the task, he states that the price is her first child, and the horrified girl objects because she never agreed to this arrangement.
The king keeps his promise to marry the miller's daughter, but when their first child is born, the imp returns to claim his The Truth About Grandpa Part 3 - Various - Austin Noise 2015 "Now give me what you promised.
He finally consents to give up his claim to the child if she can guess his name within three days some versions have the imp limiting the number of daily guesses to three and hence the total number of guesses allowed to a maximum of nine.
Her many guesses fail, but before the final night, she wanders into the woods in some versions, she sends a servant into the woods instead of going herself in order to keep the king's suspicions at baysearching for him and comes across his remote mountain cottage and watches, unseen, as he hops about his fire and sings.
In his song's lyrics, "tonight tonight, my plans I make, tomorrow tomorrow, the baby I take. The queen will never win the game, for Rumpelstiltskin is my name", he reveals his name.
When the imp comes to the queen on the third day, after first feigning ignorance, she reveals his name, Rumpelstiltskin, and he loses his temper and their bargain. Versions vary about whether he accuses the devil or witches of having revealed his name to the queen. In the edition of the Brothers Grimm tales, Rumpelstiltskin then "ran away angrily, and never came back".
The ending was revised in an edition to a more gruesome ending wherein Rumpelstiltskin "in his rage drove his right foot so far into the ground that it sank in up to his waist; then in a passion he seized the left foot with both hands and tore himself in two". Other versions have Rumpelstiltskin driving his right foot so far into the ground that he creates a chasm and falls into it, never to be seen again. In the oral version originally collected by the Brothers Grimm, Rumpelstiltskin flies out of the window on a cooking ladle.
The name Rumpelstilzchen in German means literally "little rattle stilt", a stilt being a post or pole that provides support for a structure. A rumpelstilt or rumpelstilz was consequently the name of a Rickie Lee Jones - The Magazine of goblin, also called a pophart or poppartthat makes noises by rattling posts and rapping on planks.
The meaning is similar to rumpelgeist "rattle ghost" or poltergeista mischievous spirit that clatters and moves household objects. Other related concepts are mummarts or boggarts and hobswhich are mischievous household spirits that disguise themselves.
The ending -chen is a German diminutive cognate to English -kin. The earliest known mention of Rumpelstiltskin occurs in Johann Fischart 's Geschichtklitterung, or Gargantua of a loose adaptation of Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel which refers to an "amusement" for children, i. Translations The Dream - Master/Slave Relationship - Blue Faced Lust the original Grimm fairy tale KHM 55 into various languages have generally substituted different names for the dwarf whose name is Rumpelstilzchen.
In other languages the name was translated in a poetic and approximate way. Likewise, in Danish and Norwegianhe is known as Rumleskaft literally "Rumble-shank". Italian has Tremotino which The Ronettes - Do I Love You / Bebe And Susu means "Little Earthquake".
In other translations an entirely different and generally meaningless name was Rumpelstilzchen - Gebrüder Grimm / Hans Christian Andersen - Rumpelstilzchen / Tölpelhanssuch as BarbichuBroumpristoche Rumpelstilzchen - Gebrüder Grimm / Hans Christian Andersen - Rumpelstilzchen / TölpelhansGrigrigredinmenufretinOutroupistache or Perlimpinpin in various translations to French.

Key Insurance Reporting Turnaround In Financial Performance Recording Improved Earnings Per Share Of JA$0.022 – Gobin-Gunter
Natalia Gobin-Gunter, Chairman of Key Insurance Company Limited is reporting a turnaround in the financial performance of the company recording improved Earnings per Share of $0.022 up from -$0.023 in 2016.
Addressing shareholders in their just released unaudited financial statements, she reported that net profits totalled JA$8.02 million for the period ended June 2017, a JA$15.9 million reversal of the loss of JA$7.9 million recorded for the corresponding period in 2016.
Key Insurance was able to grow its gross written premiums by 35.7% to $660.7million for the period, with net premium earned grow by $91.9 million or 35.5% to $350.9 million.
In 2017, the Company’s net claims expense increased by 30.3% or $39.88 million to $171.7 million compared to the prior year. Net acquisition cost and administration expenses increased by $9.3 million and $11.7 million respectively, primarily from increases in staff and broker costs, and the commission remitted on the $43.7 million increase in premium ceded to the reinsurers.
These resulted in a lower underwriting loss of $27.9 million for the half-year, a $31.1million reduction from the similar 2016 period of $58.95.
The company generated investment income of $24.2 million for the half-year, 20% ahead of prior period amount of $20.2 million. However, other income reduced by $9.2 million due primarily to the $14 million reduction in foreign exchange gains arising from the relative stability of the Jamaican dollar denoted by a few months of appreciation in value.
Total equity increased by $79.6 million or 8% from J$996.2 million as at June 2016 to J$1,075.8 million as at June 2017.
The net gain on the revaluation of available for sale investment securities in the fair value reserve of J$52.3 million as at June 2017 was an improvement over the $10 million for the same period in 2016.

Total assets also increased by approximately 1.0% or J$18.1 million to J$2.4 billion as at June 2017.

Officials shrugged off a U.S. House vote to block a multibillion-dollar aid package for Mexico and tried to assure investors Thursday that the economy is sound, with or without a bailout.
“This is not a problem,” Treasury Secretary Guillermo Ortiz said of Wednesday’s surprise vote by the House of Representatives.
But traders admitted to some nervousness as the Mexican stock market and the peso opened slightly lower. Worth 16.39 cents at Wednesday’s close, the peso closed at 16.29 on Thursday, down for the third straight day.
A late rally helped Mexican stocks reverse four days of losses and close higher in light to moderate volume Thursday. The market’s key index was up 25.15 points to 2,461.64 for a gain of 1 percent.
In a slap at President Clinton, the House voted 245-183 to forbid the U.S. government from loaning Mexico additional money after Oct. 1, the start of the next fiscal year.
If the amendment ultimately becomes law, it could immediately affect $7.5 billion remaining in a $20 billion credit package Clinton offered Mexico after the peso’s steep devaluation, which began in December.
The vote’s ultimate effect was uncertain because the U.S. Senate has yet to act - a point not lost on officials here.
Questioned by the Mexican broadcast network Televisa, Ortiz said the House measure “doesn’t have the least significance” for Mexico’s ability to meet its debt obligations.
“It is worth noting that said approval (by the House) is only one of several stages of the legislative process necessary for the amendment to become law,” his Treasury department said in a statement late Wednesday.
The statement noted that Mexico has enough reserves to meet its foreign debt obligations. Mexico’s international reserves stood at $13.6 billion as of July 14, the central bank said this week.
Pro-government newspapers also sought to soothe investors, noting that $12.5 billion of the Clinton package has been dispensed so far.
“This Won’t Affect Us,” the daily El Sol declared, while El Heraldo announced on its front page: “The Package of Financial Aid from the United States to Mexico Remains Intact.”
President Ernesto Zedillo’s office had no comment, other than to note that the measure has not yet become law.
Experts said they didn’t expect the measure would survive a U.S. Senate vote or a presidential veto. But it could set off a new weakening of the peso and increase uncertainty just as some stability had returned.
Ebbing inflation and four consecutive monthly trade surpluses have been interpreted as encouraging signs by Zedillo, who said Monday his country was surmounting the economic crisis.
But the aid package has met with opposition from U.S. lawmakers of all stripes. Some liberals say it mainly helps big investors, while some conservatives have questioned pouring billions of taxpayers’ dollars into a country whose economic and political future is uncertain.

The Nairs of Hotel Leelaventure, India’s fourth largest hospitality chain, are in exploratory talks to sell their upcoming beachfront luxury property in Chennai to NRI industrialist Ravi Pillai as they seek to reduce the company’s debt. Last month, it sold its Kovalam property to Ravi Pillai for Rs 500 crore.
“Talks are at a very preliminary stage,” said a source familiar with the matter. The 14-storeyed Leela hotel with 329 rooms, which draws inspiration from Chettinad architecture, would throw open its doors in January 2012. The property is valued at around Rs 900 crore, he added.
Another source said the Leela is to hive off the property into a separate entity, in which it would sell a majority stake. The group may hold up to 26% stake in the entity, he added. Talks also include the Leela Group entering into a separate management contract with Pillai to run the property. It had entered into a similar arrangement with Pillai to manage the Kovalam property for 30 years after selling it off. The move also highlights the growing trend among Indian hotel operators to follow in the footsteps of international chains like Inter-Continental and Starwood that prefer to manage properties instead of owning them.
Hotel Leelaventure’s debt stood at Rs 3,830 crore at the end of FY11 which it aims to bring down to Rs 1 000 crore over the next four years, its vice-chairman and managing director, Vivek Nair, had said earlier. The company has been looking to raise between Rs 800 crore to Rs 1,000 crore through qualified institutional placement of shares or a fund infusion through the private equity route. The firm’s plans to sell stake to a few investors including a sovereign fund did not fructify because of the global crisis. It is now looking at other options including the sale of the Chennai property. Shares of Hotel Leelaventure closed at Rs 37 on the BSE on Monday, down 1.6%.
Based in Saudi Arabia, Pillai runs a large petrochemical and recruitment business there. He has now turned his focus on India, where he plans to invest Rs 2,500 crore in the hospitality and commercial sectors.

AUGUSTA, Maine ― Maine lawmakers are seeking to tackle the problem of mounting student debt in their next session, including exploring plans that could make college tuition free for students who agree to pay back the state after they graduate and get a job.
A panel of Maine legislative leaders advanced bills Wednesday introduced by Senate leaders that were designed to encourage more Maine students to attend colleges and universities by reducing costs.
“Some people who’d love to be able to pursue higher education are just scared by the prospect of getting through school and being saddled with a huge student debt,” said Assistant Senate Republican Leader Roger Katz of Augusta.
Students at four-year public and private institutions in Maine graduate with more than $26,000 in debt on average, according to the Project on Student Debt. The problem of soaring student debt has gained attention across the country, prompting states to start looking at ways to ease its burden.
Katz wants the state to examine a pilot program being developed in Oregon that would allow students to go to school tuition- and loan-free. Students would have 3 percent deducted from their post-graduation paychecks for 24 years, money that would go into a state fund, which would then pay for future students. If the pilot project is approved by the Oregon Legislature, it would be the first country to implement such a program.
Democratic Senate President Justin Alfond of Portland has proposed a similar but broader bill, under which the state’s education committee would examine multiple methods, including Oregon’s model, to come up with a plan for college affordability that works for Maine, he said.
Both measures are still being fleshed out and details are not yet finalized. But they provide a peek into what could become a significant issue next session.
“If we don’t get students over that first hurdle of how can I pay for school, then we’re really not doing what we should be doing as a state to ensure that we have the best chance to be competitive and successful around all the different industries,” Alfond said.
Katz acknowledged that implementing an idea like Oregon’s will be a challenge. Questions remain about how Oregon would fund the project at first because it would be several years before those who are receiving the loans would begin to pay back the state. But Katz said he hopes it’s something Maine will take on.
“If this were simple, it would have been done before now,” he said. “But it is a really interesting concept to explore.”

Sun series: Inside SPF
Now it's time to take an in-depth look at SPF and what it actually means. After all, you've likely all heard the warnings that you shouldn't be out in the bright rays without it, but do you actually know why?
To understand why picking the right level of sun protection is so important first of all you need to know what is happening with your skin when you go outside bare. According to Paula's Choice founder Paula Begoun, whose ethos is that all skincare choices should always be based on firm research, the dilemma is as much in what you don't see as what you do.
"The problem with inflammation is that sometimes we know we're being enflamed, right? You put your hand on the hot burner, it hurts, and look you can see the inflammation and skin is damaged. But with a lot of inflammation that happens for the skin, you just don't see and you don't feel," she explained to Cover Media. "In the early 90s studies started coming out that inflammation can take place in skin and you would never know it. The reason we know that inflammation and irritation hides in skin is sun damage. You walk outside, or you sit next to a window, the first minute your skin sees the sun, damage begins. The first minute - it's astounding research. What happens, and you don't feel it, collagen begins breaking down, elastin begins breaking down, the substances in the skin that protect it from the environment begin breaking down. Skin cells to one degree or another, actually begin mutating and you don't feel it."
Sounds scary, right? Now we have your attention it's time to get to grips with which factor of sunscreen you should be wearing - and how often you need to be applying it. Pay particular attention to this if you think slapping on a bit of protection will see you through a whole day on the beach.
"SPF is a number which indicates how long you can stay in the sun without burning from UVB. It does not however tell us anything about UVA. If your skin burns normally after ten minutes in the sun, applying SPF15 means that you can stay in the sun for approximately 150 minutes (a factor of 15 times longer)," Dr Marko Lens, who is an internationally renowned authority in the field of skin aging and skin cancer, told Cover Media. "SPF30 will allow the same person to stay for approximately 300 minutes without burning (a factor of 30 times longer)."
So obviously this means that reapplication has to be part of your routine. And on top of that, you're probably not applying enough in the first place. Dr Lens advises 2ml. per cm2 of the body, which translates to one teaspoon over the face and neck, one for each arm, two on each leg and two on your front and back.
"Sunscreens should be reapplied every two hours," he explained. "SPF30 is recommended on holiday. I would also recommend SPF30 in the city."
There are other steps you can take to protect yourself too. Think about what you're wearing for one thing - hats will stop your head getting burnt and in very hot climates loose, long-sleeved tops are a good idea too. Also don't forget your eyes and make sure you shield them with sunglasses that protect from UVA and UVB rays.


The village of Naguleliya in the Arachchikattuwa area, is located between a land strip between the sea and the Rambathala Oya.
Due to severe coastal erosion prevailing throughout several years, many houses of the village have collapsed, compelling villagers to seek shelter in coconut-leaf thatched huts.
In response to their grievances, authorities have built them 26 houses at the cost of Rs. 1,81,00,000. The construction materials had been brought across a vast distance through the Muthpathtthiya isle despite the existence of a shorter road from Arachchikattuwa, through the Vairankattuwa village.
However, as a bridge has not been built across the Rambathala Oya which runs across the route leading to the houses, a complication has arisen on its inauguration and handing over, although 90% of the construction work is already over.
Speaking on this regard, Puttalam District secretary - N.H.M. Chithrananda said that it has been notified that the bridge required a sum of Rs. 90 million and accumulating that sum has become an issue.

PLAYER-COACH Sam Collins said the excitement is already building ahead of Hartlepool United’s “superb” FA Cup draw at home to Blyth Spartans.
Pools beat East Thurrock United 2-0 in the first round and their reward was a North East derby at home to Spartans, who play in the seventh tier of English football.
Social media erupted as soon as the draw was made, with fans from both sides looking forward to a classic cup tie – which has been moved to Friday, December 5, and will be televised live on BBC2.
Collins, 37, says he is looking forward to a big crowd and cracking atmosphere inside Victoria Park.
Collins said: “It is a superb draw.
“I am really looking forward to the game already, as soon as I saw the draw I thought it was brilliant.
“It is a North East derby and I’m sure it will be a big crowd and a fantastic atmosphere.
“On television, it will be even better.
“That will be a brilliant game – we can’t wait.”
The Blyth squad includes two former Pools players – defender Nathan Buddle and midfielder Stephen Turnbull – while goalkeeper Peter Jeffries is Hartlepool-born.
Meanwhile, Pools’ strength and conditioning coach Craig Hubbard also played for the non-league side for the past two seasons.
Between 2012 and 2014, the midfielder scored an impressive 15 goals in 54 matches for Evo-Stik League Premier Division side Spartans.
Collins added: “There are strong links, with the likes of Stephen and Nathan playing for them and it is good.
“Also, Craig played for Blyth as well and he is really looking forward to the match as well.
“He scored a few goals for them – so he keeps telling me!
“It is a great FA Cup draw for both clubs.”
Ticket information for the tie, which will kick off at 7.55pm, will be released in due course.

Many people believe that immunizations are only for children. Adults also need immunizations to help protect them against certain diseases. Sometimes immunizations are needed to "boost" protection that may be wearing off, or to make up for immunizations that were not given during childhood. Some immunizations are needed only after a person reaches adulthood.
Appointments are required for immunizations. To schedule and appointment please call 386-274-0509.
What immunizations do most adults need?
Immunizations requirements for adults depend upon age, health status, lifestyle and occupation. The immunizations that are most commonly needed by adults are listed below along with general guidelines on who should receive them.
Recommended immunizations for most adults
18-64 Years - Tetanus-diphtheria
Recommended under certain circumstances - Hepatitis B
Tetanus - Diphtheria (Td)
Tetanus (lockjaw) is a dangerous disease which is spread when germs from dust and soil get into cuts, scratches, or other injuries. Diphtheria is an infection of the nose, throat, and windpipe. The disease is transmitted through the air and by discharges from the nose and throat. Both of these serious illnesses are easy to prevent with one combination vaccine. All adults should receive this vaccine every 10 years. Adults who have never been immunized before should receive a series of 3 doses, followed by a booster dose every 10 years.
Measles (Rubella, Red Measles)
Measles is a rash illness which is the most serious of the so-called "childhood" diseases. In reality, adults also get measles and the disease can be very serious.
Adults born in 1957 or later should check with their physicians or the local public health unit to see if they need a measles immunization. Some people who were immunized between 1963 and 1967 may have been vaccinated improperly, so a second dose of vaccine might be needed. People born before 1957 probably have already been exposed to measles naturally, so they do not need to be immunized.
Mumps is usually a mild disease, with fever and swelling of the lymph glands in the neck. The virus is spread through the air and by contact with saliva. Serious complications such as deafness and painful swelling of the testicles or ovaries may occur. All unvacinated adults born after 1956 should get mumps vaccine if they have never had the disease.
Rubella (German Measles)
Rubella is a mild rash illness which can cause serious birth defects if a woman gets the disease during the first few months of her pregnancy. All women of childbearing age need to be protected against rubella. Other adults, both men and women, who have not had a rubella immunization or immunity proven by a blood test should be vaccinated. If all adults are immune, it will help to prevent the spread of the disease to pregnant women.
Nearly every year, complications of influenza kill thousands of adults in the United States. Most of those killed are people with long-term health problems or those over the age of 65. Influenza vaccine should be given annually to people any age with chronic heart or lung problems, diabetes, kidney disease, anemia, or weakened immune systems. Yearly vaccination is also strongly recommended for residents of nursing homes, health professionals who have contact with the high-risk people listed above and all adults who are 65 or older.
Pneumococcal bacteria can cause pneumonia and blood infections. People who have chronic heart, lung, kidney, or immune system problems, and those over age 65 are at highest risk of dying from pneumococcal pneumonia. These people should receive the pneumococcal vaccine. For most people, ONE dose gives lifelong protection.
Hepatitis B is a serious liver disease which can lead to cirrhosis or live cancer. People may carry the virus for long periods of time and infect many others through blood or sexual contact. A series of 3 immunizations will help protect people at high risk of hepatitis B. Those people at risk include health care workers who are exposed to blood, kidney dialysis patients, homosexual or bisexual males, people who use intravenous drugs, sexual contacts of people who carry the virus, and residents and staff of institutions for the mentally retarted.
Polio vaccine may be recommended for adults traveling to developing countries or working in jobs that may expose them to the polio virus. Parents and other child care takers who are not protected against polio should consult their doctor if they take care of a child receiving the routine oral polio vaccine series. In addition, some people may have an increased risk of certain other diseases because of their jobs, lifestyles, medical conditions, or travel plans. Check with your physician or the Volusia County Health Department to see if you fit into any of the groups with special immunization needs.
It is a myth that the very frail or chronically ill should not be vaccinated.
These persons are at no greater risk of harm from vaccines than anyone else. In fact, because they are at greater risk from disease and complications, they are in greater need of the protection given by vaccinations.
It is a myth that influenza vaccine can cause the flu.
Influenza vaccine contains only killed viruses which are incapable of causing the disease.
Contact your doctor or the Florida Department of Health in Volusia County for vaccinations.

If you have arthritis there is no need to go into a lengthy explanation of what it is. If you have it you KNOW that you have it, you know what the symptoms are and for sure, you know that you hurt like, well, let’s just say you hurt. There are prescription and OTC pain meds that do help with the pain, however, sometimes the side effects from those chemical compounds are worse than living with the pain. There are natural remedies that are known to be effective in treating the pain and some of those supplements can also help to prevent future painful episodes. Let me explain that a little better.
One of the major causes for severe arthritic pain is inflammation. We take all kinds of meds that are anti-inflammatory in nature. There are natural supplements that are amazingly potent anti-inflammatories. Green Tea, Resveratrol and Acai Berry are all known to be amazing natural anti-inflammatories as well as having their more publicized antioxidant properties. Taking daily supplements can reduce inflammation and lessen pain caused by that inflammation.
Two very effective supplements that are currently used for arthritis are Glucosamine and Chondroitin. You can obtain them in pill form and recently there are nutraceutical companies that combine them and offer them in a convenient skin patch form. It is important to note a word of caution here. If you have high blood sugar or suffer from diabetes it is not recommended that you use Glucosamine because it is known to elevate blood sugar levels. However, Glucosamine does more than treat pain. It also helps to repair cartilage that is the primary cause of arthritis.
There are other supplements that you may wish to investigate as well, among which are Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamins A and D. Just make sure that if you are currently under a doctor’s care that you consult with him/her before taking any supplements. Even if you are not presently under the care of a physician it is always recommended to consult one prior to beginning any new treatments or supplements. Nutraceuticals are not intended to take the place of medical advice.

I love aqua. So needless to say, I have an overabundance of aqua pics, and thought... why not feature those aqua pics in a post every now and then.
My favorite Pyrex refrigerator container is the aqua one of course. Very rare. But my dear, sweet, generous sister Ginny gave me her pink & aqua refrigerator containers, in which I am forever grateful! Thanks Gin!
I found this hatbox along with both of these aqua hats... for one dollar! Enlarge the pic so as to see the exquisite detail in the hat on the glass cloche.
My beloved aqua phone happens to be one of my most prized possessions. But it was not found at a yard sale, or a thrift store... umm, not even an antique store, or an eBay auction. Trust me, it's a great story! Read all about it HERE.
I knew pretty quick in my quest for Pyrex, that I was not going to be collecting any of the 'Cinderella' bowl Pyrex. It would just take up more room than the standard round Pyrex bowls. But then a couple years ago I saw this pattern... the aqua blue Cinderella bowl Balloon pattern. A Pyrex promotional from 1958. I absolutely loved the color, pattern and design! But like I said before, it would have to find me, when I least expect. And sure enough, I stop at a yard sale down the street one day and there it was... for one dollar!
I love vintage sewing notions and sewing baskets. So my aqua one is a favorite.
Yesterday I found this aqua ice cube tray at a thrift store for a quarter. Why not find other uses, when not freezing ice cube roses! And why not buttons!
Me & Emolyn. Emolyn in aqua. Precious is she.
Hey, I actually featured aqua in earlier posts while we were in CA HERE and CO HERE. Check them both out!

Here are a few more releases from this morning:
• From the Philly Fed: December Manufacturing Survey
The survey’s broadest measure of manufacturing conditions, the diffusion index of current activity, increased from a reading of ‑10.7 in November to 8.1 this month. This is the highest reading since April and is slightly above the reading before the post-storm decline in November.Click on graph for larger image.
Labor market conditions at the reporting firms improved marginally this month. The current employment index, at 3.6, registered its first positive reading in six months ...
The survey’s future indicators suggest improved optimism among the reporting manufacturers. The future general activity index increased from 20.0 to 30.9, its highest reading in three months. emphasis added
Here is a graph comparing the regional Fed surveys and the ISM manufacturing index. The dashed green line is an average of the NY Fed (Empire State) and Philly Fed surveys through December. The ISM and total Fed surveys are through November.
The average of the Empire State and Philly Fed surveys increased in December, but is just back to 0. This is the highest combined level since May, but still suggests another weak reading for the ISM manufacturing index.
• Earlier this morning the BEA reported Q3 GDP increased at a 3.1% annualized rate, higher than the 2.7% estimated earlier. The upward revision was due to increases in the estimate of personal consumption expenditures (PCE), trade, and state and local governments. Although the revision for state and local governments was small, it moved to a positive contribution for the first time since Q3 2009.
This graph shows the contribution to percent change in GDP for residential investment and state and local governments since 2005.
The blue bars are for residential investment (RI), and RI was a significant drag on GDP for several years. Now RI has added to GDP growth for the last 6 quarters (through Q3 2012).
The red bars are for state and local governments. Although not as large a negative as the worst of the housing bust (and much smaller spillover effects), this decline has been relentless and unprecedented. The good news is the drag appears to be ending.
I don't expect state and local governments will contribute much to GDP growth in 2013, but just stopping the drag will help.
• From the FHFA: FHFA House Price Index Up 0.5 Percent in October
U.S. house prices rose 0.5 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from September to October, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s monthly House Price Index (HPI). The previously reported 0.2 percent increase in September was revised downward to a 0.0 percent change. For the 12 months ending in October, U.S. prices rose 5.6 percent. The U.S. index is 15.7 percent below its April 2007 peak and is roughly the same as the July 2004 index level.

text: This week I couldn’t get this song out of my head. The beat produced by Mr Kanye West and Nottz has been replaying through my mind each day.The song name ‘Nosetalgia’ is a pun on nose & nostalgia referencing about cocaine. But what makes this track what it is are the deep, meaningful lyrics portrayed by both Pusha and King Kendrick. Both artists go IN on this track and while each of them talk about the same subject (cocaine) it is shown in two different lights. Pusha raps about his past in selling cocaine for half of his life and looking back on his childhood while doing that. Kendrick speaks about him being a kid in the 80’s and watching his father sniff it, so there are two different views and sides to this song. Incredibly intelligent from both artists.
