US adds 173,000 jobs in August; unemployment rate drops to seven year low

Monday, September 7, 2015

The US economy added 173,000 jobs in August, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday. The unemployment rate fell from 5.3 to 5.1 percent, the lowest since April 2008.

Although August job gains were lower than most economists forecast, job growth numbers for June and July were revised upwards by a combined 44,000. Average job gains over the past three months stand at 221,000, compared to March-May’s 189,000 monthly average. Over the past twelve months, job growth has averaged 247,000 per month.

Average hourly earnings rose 0.3 percent, or 8 cents, marking the largest increase in earnings in seven months. Hourly earnings had risen by 6 cents in July. Wages have risen by 2.2 percent over the past year.

Job growth in August was primarily concentrated in the health care and social assistance, financial activities, and professional and business services sectors. Those three areas of the economy added a combined 108,000 jobs. Food service and drinking places employment increased by 26,000 over the month, and other economic sectors saw employment hold steady. Manufacturing, on the other hand, saw employment decline by 17,000 in August. A stronger dollar and worldwide economic weakness make US exports less desirable, leading to a flattening in manufacturing employment so far this year after steadily rising in the early years of the US economic recovery.

The solid overall job gains led analysts to slightly raise expectations for a decision by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this month. Investors raised the likelihood of a September rate increase from 26 percent before the jobs report to 30 percent, and stocks dropped by over one percent on Friday. “The payrolls data is certainly good enough to allow for a Fed rate hike in September,” said Deutsche Bank’s head of currency strategy, Alan Ruskin. “The big question is still whether financial market volatility will scupper the plans.”

“This is the first time the market has looked at a Fed meeting and really has no idea what the Fed is going to do,” said Mark Kepner, a New Jersey equity trader with Themis Trading. “Right now you’re looking at the overall uncertainty and that’s what’s hanging on the market. I don’t think this number in and of itself changes how somebody’s going to vote.”

Last Tuesday early morning, a sea lion walked from the beach into Pantai Inn in La Jolla, California. The animal was rescued by local animal rescue authorities. Wikinews took an interview from Shane Pappas, a General Manager of the inn.

((Wikinews)) At what time of day did the sea lion enter the Inn?

Shane Pappas: Surveillance footage shows that our sea lion friend made her way onto our property at approximately 5:45am on Tuesday morning. She waddled through our courtyard and climbed up onto one of our lounge chairs.

((WN)) How long did he stay in the Inn before he was moved out of the building?

Shane Pappas: The sea lion was not seen by our staff until about 6:30am. At that point my front desk agent Veronica made frantic calls to the authorities to find someone to come rescue the sea lion. By the time we got a hold of Sea World they were able to come and rescue her at around 9:45am. All told the sea lion was here for about four hours.

((WN)) What do you think attracted the animal? Was it the radio sound? Was it heard as far as the beach?

Shane Pappas: We’re not sure what attracted the sea lion. We like to think that it was the beauty and relaxation of our courtyard. In regards to the radio sound I’m not sure what you are referring to.

((WN)) Who and how transported the animal out of the building?

Shane Pappas: A gentleman named Bill who is a rescue worker with Sea World came out to rescue the pup. He asked if I would assist in the rescue which I was more than happy to do. It’s not every day that you get to rescue a sea lion.

((WN)) Where was the animal transported to?

Shane Pappas: The sea lion was loaded into a crate on a truck and transported back to Sea World. She will be kept there for six weeks so that she can be nursed back to health and returned to the wild.

President Obama Socialist Communist Marxist Fascist Nazi

By Delwyn Lounsbury – THE DEFLATION GURU

The alarming thing is Obama’s socialist, communist, Marxist, fascist and Nazi policies and rhetoric are intended to incite class warfare and plunge our nation into a severe economic decline of deflation and the Greater Depression. Tax the rich wealth redistribution is pure class warfare from Communism 101. Obama wants the U.S. to get wrapped up around the axle. His use of the word invests and investments (12 times in a recent speech) are covert communist code comrade for government spending on pet pork projects – pure propaganda. Other Obama fascism examples are the new financial regulations, the take over of GM, Fannie Mae and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the great increase in environmental regulations and power of the EPA plus ObamaCare.

President Obama Communist connections go back through his whole life. Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham (born 12/29/1949 died 11/7/1995) was a communist sympathizer and his father, Barack Hussein Obama, Senior (born 1936 died 11/24/1982), (who he only met twice) was an anticolonialist Marxist. By the way, only male Muslim children are named Hussein.

Black communist poet Frank Marshal Davis (born 1905) met Barack Husein Obama in 1970. Barack Junior (then known as Barry Soetoro) was about 10 years old at that time. The relationship lasted until 1978 when Obama left Hawaii for Occidental College in Los Angeles. In his memoir “Dreams From My Father” Obama talks warmly about an older black poet he only identifies as “Frank.”

In 1944 the FBI had identified Davis as a member of the communist Party’s Dorie Miller Club (Chicago-card number 47544) along with involvement in communist front organizations like the National Negro Congress, the League of American Writers, the National Federation for Constitutional Liberties and the Civil Rights Congress. There are some 600 pages in the Frank Davis FBI file including the fact he was still listed in 1973 as an endorser of a major American Communist Party front organization, American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCBnmAr1RTA[/youtube]

A History Professor at the University of Houston, Gerald Horne, noted that Frank Marshall Davis, who moved to Honolulu, Hawaii from Kansas in 1948, “at the suggestion of his good friend Paul Robeson.” was in contact with Barack Obama and his family and became Barack Obama’s mentor and influenced his career.

Vernon Jarrett was a Chicago journalist with communist affiliations worked with Frank Davis at the communist influenced Chicago Defender newspaper. He was an Obama family friend and campaigned for him. In fact he is father-in-law to Valerie Jarrett, a current Obama czar – Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement. Valerie Jarrett reportedly interviewed former Obama environmental advisor Van Jones who resigned in 2010 amid a storm over his past statements and activism.

Van Jones, advisor to the Council on Environmental Quality had past ties to Bay Area radical group with Marxist roots, STORM, Standing Together to Organizes a Revolutionary Movement. He was not thoroughly vetted for the less than cabinet position and the controversy caught the Whitehouse off guard. The mainstream press looked the other way.

In 1992 Obama worked for the ACORN affiliated Project Vote to register black voters in the Senate campaign of Carol Moseley Braun. Braun had strong Communists Party USA ties. Obama got elected to her very same Senate seat in 2004 with the backing of the same communist/socialist alliance.

In a November 15, 2008 address, the National Chair of the Communist Party USA said to its National Committee, “The left can and should advance its own views and disagree with the Obama administration without being disagreeable. Its tone should be respectful. We are speaking to a friend.”

Barack Obama is known for his reading and the following of the Saul Alinsky book “Rules for Radicals” (a blueprint for advancing communism and liberal fascism). Saul Alinsky began his community organization movement in the 1930’s, which included a collectivist wealth redistribution creed along with an amoral dogma of any and all means justifying the advancement of utopia. Saul Alinsky’s mission, as outlined in his book, was to destroy the American middleclass and turn the U.S. into a communist nation. Saul Alinsky is considered the “Godfather of community organizing.”

A Community organizer (communizer) for his party in Chicago, Obama first aligned himself with left wing ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) which has been de funded by Congress for certain misdeeds including being caught on video tape helping a client set up a business plan for a prostitution and brothel business. Since ACORN was a tax exempt foundation, technically this was done with U.S. citizen tax dollars. In additon, there were charges of voting fraud against ACORN.

President Obama socialist, communist and Marxism ties: It is widely held that Obama’s biography, “Dreams From My Father,” was written by communist Bill Ayers. In it Obama confesses that his early childhood mentor was a Marxist (Frank Marshall Davis). The biography goes on to say while in college, he was drawn to socialists, communists and Marxists. Later in life, Obama continued to seek out and associate with anti-American radicals, such as Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and domestic terrorist communist Marxists, such as Bill Ayers (convicted bomber), even choosing in 1995 when he was age 34 to launch his political career in Ayers’ home.

Government throwing money at programs never pans out and always makes things more expensive. ObamaCare is unconstitutional inefficient socialism leading to rationing and euthanasia by a 15 member (politburo) committee appointed by the state. Taking 16 percent of a free market economy and putting it under government control is just sealing our doom.

Who donate to charities and create employment for the masses? The rich in society produce the jobs, literature, art, architecture, music, technology, research, education etc. Governments can only steal from the rich and give to the poor in a wrong thinking wealth redistribution myth. Capitalism is the name of our economic way of life last time I looked. Lobby for small government, canceling payroll taxes, a balanced budget, a flat national sales tax and private money backed by gold or things will just get worse and worse and worse.

Now, tyrannical President Obama communist seeks to divide Americans by blasting business in every speech he makes for having corporate jets. How many jobs are to be lost when airplanes stop being built and used? This guy does not understand a thing about job creation. Totalitarian Obama wants to violate our individual inherent rights to life, liberty and private property. Impeach Obama before it is too late.

Anonymous muscle in on Canadian teen rape case

Friday, April 12, 2013

On Wednesday, the Internet hacking collective Anonymous vowed to publish the names of the four suspects involved in the alleged rape of Canadian Rehtaeh Parsons, who committed suicide last week.

A message sent to Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) by the hacktivist group called “for immediate legal action” in the case, citing that “If we [Anonymous] were able to locate these boys within 2 hours, it will not be long before someone else finds them.”

This latest operation by the group, dubbed “Operation Justice For Rehtaeh”, led to expression of concern among the members of the RCMP. In an interview with the National Post, Nova Scotia Justice Minister Ross Landry spoke of the dangers of releasing this crucial information in this ongoing investigation, “We don’t want another child taking their life because some vigilante group think it’s OK … maybe it’s a wrong name — then what would they do to someone?”

The 17-year-old Parsons was taken off life support on Sunday following an attempt to take her own life days before. Her mother erected a Facebook page celebrating the life of her daughter as well as acknowledging the true reasons for her daughters tragic passing, “Rehtaeh is gone today because of the four boys that thought that raping a 15-year-old girl was okay, and to distribute a photo to ruin her spirit and reputation would be fun.”

Teen broadcasts suicide online

Sunday, November 23, 2008

A Pembroke Pines, Florida teenager killed himself Wednesday, November 19, while broadcasting on the live video site Justin.tv. After making suicide threats and being encouraged by Justin.tv viewers and Bodybuilding.com forum members, Abraham K. Biggs, 19, committed suicide by taking an overdose of opiates and benzodiazepine, which had been prescribed for his bipolar disorder.

Biggs first began blogging about his planned suicide 12 hours before the actual event. He died after taking pills and lying on the bed in front of the webcam. After the broadcast, viewers who apparently thought it was a hoax posted messages such as “OMG”, “LOL”, and “hahahah”.

Hours later, after being alerted by viewers who had noticed that Biggs had stopped breathing, law enforcement and paramedics arrived, discovered his body, and covered the camera. The Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office has reportedly confirmed Biggs’ death.

According to Montana Miller of the Bowling Green State University, the circumstances of this case were not shocking: “If it’s not recorded or documented, then it doesn’t even seem worthwhile. For today’s generation it might seem, ‘What’s the point of doing it if everyone isn’t going to see it?'”

Biggs’ sister Rosalind was angry that neither the website nor its viewers reacted soon enough to save him. “They got hits, they got viewers, nothing happened for hours,” she said. She described him as “very happy” and “friendly and outgoing.” “On a normal day, you couldn’t really tell that he got as low as he did.” However, he did have relationship problems with his girlfriend, according to a friend.

Mental health professionals have warned about the possibility that other mentally troubled people would copy his actions. According to Dr. David Shaffer of Columbia University, “Any video showing it as heroic or romantic or glamorous could reduce the anxiety people might feel about suicide. It becomes a respectable behavior and lowers the threshold of suicide.” He and other psychiatrists recommend that potentially suicidal teens talk to others and “tell what’s going on.”

Different Types Of Vacuum Pumps And Systems

Vacuum pumps and systems are necessary for maintaining the proper level of pressure in a system. They are used in countless applications in many different environments, from the home to large industrial complexes. Because liquids cannot be pulled, suction cannot be used to create a vacuum. Therefore it becomes necessary to create an artificial vacuum, and the easiest way that this can be accomplished is by expanding the air that is in a container. In order to evacuate a chamber constantly, these machines contain a compartment that is always being closed off, emptied, and them expanded once again. This is the principle by which these machines work.

Busch vacuum pumps and systems are now available in many different shapes and sizes. You will find that they operate on the same basic principles, but the larger ones for industrial needs are much more complex. The following is a brief list of the different types that have been developed so far:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAFfsCZVhjw[/youtube]

Rotary vane by far the most commonly usedDiaphragm no contamination from oilLiquid ringPiston the lowest priceScroll features the highest speed for a dry pumpExternal VaneRoots Blower also known as a booster; it has a high pumping rate, but low compressionMultistage roots uses several stages to produce both high speeds and compression

Kinney vacuum pumps and systems also make use of several different types of techniques in order to achieve their purpose. Often times this involves the use of multiple chambers, pumps, and procedures. For example, positive displacement pumps can create only small vacuums due to mechanical limitations. These stronger vacuums must be created using a more complex series of stages typically starting out with a fast pump down. There are many different types of combinations that can be used in order to achieve the desired results.

So, now that you understand a bit more about how these Edwards vacuum pumps and systems work, it is time to discuss a few of the situations where they can be used. There are many different industries and uses for these machines, including, but not limited to the following: composite plastic molding, flight instruments in aircraft, the production of electric lamps and CRTs, processing of semiconductors, electron microscopy, vacuum coating, freeze drying, trash compacting, sewage treatment, and many more.

This article contains only a few examples of the many different options you have when it comes to vacuum pumps and systems. When looking for the right one for your application, it is a good idea to use the type of product that is recommended by the manufacturer or your equipment. While there are companies that deal in these products all over the world, you will get the best service when you choose someone close to you.

Will Wikimedia “run on Sun”?

Wednesday, January 9, 2008

This article mentions the Wikimedia Foundation, one of its projects, or people related to it. Wikinews is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation.

An internal Wikimedia communiqué was leaked over the weekend. Like many e-mails, the document is a chain of forwards, replies, and attachments. The attached Portable Document Format (PDF) file was from a PowerPoint presentation, entitled “Wikimedia Foundation: Past, Present, and Future”. The presentation is watermarked confidential, do not distribute, and details the Foundation’s recent financial, technical, and traffic history, outlines near-term forecasts for all three, and makes suggestions for slightly longer horizons as well. By itself the document led to several inter-connected news stories.

Thousands strike in UK over pensions

Tuesday, March 28, 2006

As many as 1.5 million government workers, members of 11 unions, went on strike on Tuesday in protest of a government decision to reduce their retirement benefits, a change which would take effect in October.

The strike closed thousands of schools, libraries and leisure centres, disrupted commuters, and reduced some facilities to emergency only staffing.

UNISON claimed that more than a million workers had joined the strike, with General Secretary Dave Prentis saying “this overwhelming show of strength from Lands End to John O’Groats has obviously taken the Local Government Association and some local councils by surprise”.

The benefits change, would effect the “85 year rule,” of the Local Government Pension scheme, which allows government employees to retire at 60 as long as the sum of their age and their years of employment sum to 85 or greater. According to union representatives, the new retirement plan is targeted at lower paid employees, leaving higher paid employees to enjoy the same benefits as before.

Ahead of the strike, the Local Government Association claimed that the changes proposed by unions “would add at least 2% a year to every council taxpayer’s bill”.

The participating unions point out this is likely to be the largest strike in Britain since 1926.

Weight Loss Advice Have You Ever Seen A Fat Postman

By Steve Hill

This article is all about how to lose weight, I hope you find it interesting to read and beneficial. I am somebody who has always struggled to keep off the fat and who has tried many different forms of diet.

From about the age of twelve, I have had problems with my weight. I have to be careful what I eat and I personally believe I actually eat less than what other people do. One of the issues I do have though is that I like the wrong types of food. Vegetables, fruit, salad and pasta do not really do it for me, where as fast foods such as pizza, chips and curry do.

Another one of my bad habits is that from the age of around sixteen I started to get a taste and a liking for alcohol. I have to admit that from this age I have always drank far too much and far more than the average man. You may well be thinking at this point that it is was no wonder that I have had problems controlling my weight.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YTl119gKdg[/youtube]

In my defence, I have had many confidence issues and suffered with a low self-esteem for many years. This would cause me to binge drink and comfort eat. When hungover I would eat copius amounts of these fatty foods to make me feel better.

By the age of twenty-two I was basically very fat or obese. I decided at this stage of my life to do something about this and started looking into various forms of diet.

Maybe it is just me but these weight loss programs seemed very harsh and very unrealistic. Drinking taste-less milkshakes four times a day, eating five fruits a day and not being able to drink alcohol, no thanks. Following these diets would make my life not really worth living and I knew that I would not be able to stick to them.

One morning I saw three different postmen delivering their rounds. They were all quite thin, at a weight I would love to be. Over the next few weeks I kept an eye out for other postmen and realised that the ones I had observed were all thin. I thought about why would this be, quite simply because they do a lot of exercise via walking.

I sat myself down and started to think. I had to admit to myself that I do very little exercise and I use my car to take me to virtually every place I go.

The answer was quite simple, I need to, at times walk my children to school, walk to my friends and in general ensure I exercise far much more than I was.

This has, I am happy to report helped my tremendously and I now have a weight I am happy with.

New Zealand meteorologist Auer dies

Monday, June 11, 2007

New Zealand Meteorologist Augie Auer has died, suffering a heart attack while dining with family members in Melbourne. He was on holiday celebrating his 67th birthday and 35th wedding anniversary with wife Susan and family.

Auer was chief meteorologist at the MetService from 1990 until 1998, when Professor Auer became TV3’s weekday weather presenter and the network’s resident meteorologist in 2002.

Professor Auer recently became involved in the debate over global warming, helping in 2006 to found the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition, a group that questions claims humanity is responsible for rising temperatures

The coalition was chaired by retired Rear Admiral Jack Welch and made up of 13 scientists, including Prof Auer, Professor Bob Carter and Associate Professor Chris de Freitas.

The group believed the public was being given incomplete, inaccurate and biased information about the effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

It called for a Royal Commission to investigate climate change.

Professor Augie Auer is survived by his wife, three children and five grandchildren.
