U.S. foreclosure activity in October 2019 climbs upward from September
By BridgeTower Media Newswires
CHARLOTTE, NC — ATTOM Data Solutions, curator of a property database, has released its October 2019 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which shows there were a total of 55,197 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions — in October 2019, up 13 percent from the previous month but down 17 percent from a year ago.
"While foreclosure activity across the United States rose in October, in looking at historical trends, October numbers tend to increase as lenders may be pushing filings through the pipeline before the holiday season," said Todd Teta, chief product officer with ATTOM Data Solutions. "The latest number is still below where it was a year ago and less than 15 percent of what it was during the depths of the Great Recession."
Foreclosure completion numbers climb in 2019
Lenders repossessed 13,484 U.S. properties through completed foreclosures (REOs) in October 2019, up 14 percent from last month, hitting the highest point in total number of completed foreclosures in 2019.
States that saw the greatest number in REOs in October 2019 included: Florida (1,493 REOs); Texas (912 REOs); Michigan (890 REOs); California (824 REOs); and Illinois (805 REOs).
Those major metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) with a population greater than 200,000 that saw the greatest number of REOs included: Detroit, MI (705 REOs); New York, NY (684 REOs); Chicago, IL (679 REOs); Philadelphia, PA (470 REOs); and Atlanta, GA (430 REOs).
Highest foreclosure rates in New Jersey, Illinois and Maryland
Nationwide one in every 2,453 housing units had a foreclosure filing in October 2019. States with the highest foreclosure rates were New Jersey (one in every 1,316 housing units with a foreclosure filing); Illinois (one in every 1,336 housing units); Maryland (one in every 1,484 housing units); South Carolina (one in every 1,534 housing units); and Florida (one in every 1,571 housing units).
Among the 220 metropolitan statistical areas with a population of at least 200,000, those with the highest foreclosure rates in October were Peoria, IL (one in every 832 housing units); Rockford, IL (one in every 889 housing units); Atlantic City, NJ (one in every 933 housing units with a foreclosure filing); Fayetteville, NC (one in every 962 housing units); and Columbia, SC (one in every 1,028 housing units).
Foreclosure starts increase monthly in 36 states
Lenders started the foreclosure process on 28,667 U.S. properties in October 2019, up 17 percent from last month but down 1 percent from a year ago — the first double-digit month-over-month increase since February 2018.
States that saw a double digit increases from last month included: Arizona (up 52 percent); Ohio (up 52 percent); Florida (up 48 percent); New Jersey (up 47 percent); and California (up 36 percent).
Counter to the national trend, 13 states including Washington, DC posted month-over-month decreases in foreclosure starts in October 2019, including Maryland (down 42 percent); Idaho (down 36 percent); Delaware (down 32 percent); Nebraska (down 26 percent); and Utah (down 25 percent).

Q: Jetpack Infinite Scroll not working I have been trying to get infinite scroll to work but can not seem to get it to work.
I have three files the post loop content-post-ft.php, the functions.php and then my front page where the posts are loading frontpage.php
Functions.php
  add_theme_support( 'infinite-scroll', array(
  'container' => 'main-content',
  'type' => 'scroll',
  'footer' => 'foot',
  'render' => 'infinite_scroll_render'
   ));

 function infinite_scroll_render() {
   get_template_part( 'content-post-ft', 'standard' );
  }

content-post-ft.php

<?php

 $thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id();
$thumb_url_array = wp_get_attachment_image_src($thumb_id, 'thumbnail-size', true);
$thumb_url = $thumb_url_array[0];
 ?>

<div id="newsimg" style="background-image: url('<?php echo $thumb_url ?>')">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">

 <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php $text = $post->post_content; $trimmed = wp_trim_words( $text, 40, null );   echo $trimmed; ?>

 <?php
// endwhile;
// endif;

wp_reset_postdata();?>

Frontpage.php

 <?php

 $myargs = array (
 //'showposts' => 2,
'post_type' => 'post',
'category_name' => 'News'
);
$myquery = new WP_Query($myargs);
if($myquery->have_posts() ) :
while($myquery->have_posts() ) : $myquery->the_post();
    get_template_part( 'content-post-ft', get_post_format() );
endwhile;
 endif;
?>

I have tried looking at so many tutorials and other people having similar problems but nothing seems to be working.
The page is showing 10 posts because of the loop but its just adds the 10 and does not "scroll"
Getting this fixed would really help my stress levels!

A: Solved it. I had to make Jetpack allow the infinite scroll to be used on Custom fields and pages. By default it only works on the original posts page.
Functions file:
function tweakjp_custom_is_support() {
return true;
$supported = current_theme_supports( 'infinite-scroll' ) && ( is_home() ||      is_archive() || is_front_page() );

return $supported;
}
  add_filter( 'infinite_scroll_archive_supported',      'tweakjp_custom_is_support' );

 function mm_infinite_scroll_render() {
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
        get_template_part( 'content' );
    endwhile;
 }

  function mm_infinite_scroll_query_args($args) {

$new_args = array(
    'posts_per_page'   => $args['posts_per_page'],
    'paged'   => $args['paged'],
    'orderby'          => 'date',
    'order'            => 'DESC',
    'post_type'        => 'post',
    'post_status'      => 'publish',
);

return $new_args;
}

function mm_infinite_scroll_posts_where($clause) {
return "";
}

add_filter( 'infinite_scroll_posts_where', 'mm_infinite_scroll_posts_where' );

add_filter( 'infinite_scroll_query_args', 'mm_infinite_scroll_query_args',  9999 );
add_theme_support( 'infinite-scroll', array(
'container' => 'main-content',
'render' => 'mm_infinite_scroll_render'
) );

Then the content.php file has the rendering code. Mine looks like this to help those who are unsure.

    <?php
    // Fetch all posts relating to a certain tag then display 4 of them
    //Get the Thumbnail URL
    $src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), array( 720,405 ), false, '' );
    ?>

<li class="news-list-item" style="background-image: url(' <?php echo $src[0];?> '); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover;"> <a class="gdbnewslink" href="<?php echo get_permalink();?>" >
            <?php the_title();?>

        <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

Hope this helps someone with the same problem as me.

Description: Nag Champa is an Indian fragrance popular in incense (for those of you who didn't come of age in the 60s and 70s). It has woody notes similar to patchouli, with touches of powder, musk, amber, and vanilla. If you haven't smelled it before, you have to try it. If you know it, we think you'll love this rendition.


Discovering Laos: Things to Do in Luang Prabang — 2checkingout | travel and adventure | Inspiring. Capturing. Experiencing.
Luang Prabang hugs the bank of the Mekong River and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The French colonial influence evident in the buildings as you wander the main streets. We chose to spend our first week in a brand new country for us soaking up Laos culture in this quiet laid-back former capital.
Our journey from the airport was in a shared open taxi, the driver magically remembering where each of us needed to be dropped off. Our guest house, Souk Lan Xang, a traditional wooden house built in 1955. Spacious with all the mod cons, including on our first night, a raucous party next door. Our host, assuring us that this was a one-off, and it was.
The main road is crammed full of cafes, bars, and restaurants. Perfect for watching the world drift passed. With the French connection, there are lots of pastries in the cafes to tempt the sweet tooth. Breakfast most days was in one of the cafes overlooking the Mekong.
One of our favourite meals was at Joy's. Here we tried the traditional Laos dish Laab, albeit a vegetarian version, incredibly tasty. We also had a chance to chat with owner Joy about life in Luang Prabang.
Each night there is a market aimed mostly at tourists that stretched for a couple of a hundred metres. Here you can buy your 'Same Same, But Different' T-shirts, along with bamboo speakers for your phone and bottles of rice whisky, complete with scorpions for additional flavour.
At the far end of the market is a narrow alleyway jam-packed with food stalls. Grab a bowl and fill it with a variety of local cuisines including barbecued Mekong River fish. Without the fish, it is just NZ$2 (US$1.50/£1.10) a bowl. The fish costs between NZ$3 - NZ$10 (US$2-US$7/£1.70-£5.70) depending on size, a bargain and very tasty.
Early morning a local food market runs downs the side of the Royal Palace. Certainly worth a visit to soak up the dizzying array of smells and colours. Be warned though some stalls are not for the faint-hearted.
One evening we jumped on one of the many long river boats that ply their trade on the Mekong for a sunset cruise, this one run by Sa Sa. It came complete with complimentary mojitos served by a cheeky young chappy. The haze provided an effective sunblock but ruined any chance of getting that killer photo.
Another vantage point to watch the sun go down is at the top of Mount Phou Si. You have to be at the top early to grab a good spot as most of the tourists in town seemed to venture up each night. But don't let that dampen the shimmering golden vista that is on offer most nights.
One of the draw cards for many visitors is the alms giving ceremony. The ceremony takes place each morning at sunrise. In days gone by Buddhist monks in their bright orange robes would file through the streets receiving a gift of sticky rice from the local women. The offering is said to build a connection between the humans (locals) and the spiritual (monks/nuns) and is not, as often perceived by westerners, a form of charity.
Today the ceremony in Luang Prabang, for the most part, is a total sham. Some locals sell dodgy stale rice to the tourists, who then line the pavement on coloured plastic stools (too posh to squat on the floor). There are tour groups of people complete with their Laos-style sash that hand out bags of crackers, biscuits and other sugar-filled crap that the monks discard in the nearest bin as soon as they can. Then to top if off, you have tourists who think it's their God-given right to shove their camera into the faces of the monks as they walk by.
We had a good idea of what the ceremony had turned into but we wanted to see it with our own eyes. Even still we were shocked and outraged at the behaviour of our fellow travellers. Keeping our distance, we saw one local man intervene on several occasions as camera-wielding tourists blocked the path of the monks. Local rumour has it that the monks wanted to stop the sham of a ceremony, but the Laos Government has insisted it continue in case it hurts tourism.
Away from the main street, one or two locals do still find space to honour this long-standing tradition, away from the hoards of self-indulgent, self-centered tourists.
The best way to witness this tradition, be it in Luang Prabang or elsewhere is by keeping a respectable distance. Your photos come a distant second to the needs of those taking part in this tradition.
On a more positive note, Big Brother Mouse is a local charity where tourists can make a real difference. Just off the main road is a buzzy office where young locals gather twice a day to practice their English. Tourists are invited to sit down and chat with the mostly young guys who have a barrage of questions relating to learning English.
A couple of hours here zooms past, as you help the community enrich their education. We talked about New Zealand, the All Blacks, and the Haka, the countries we had visited and our adventures in general. Those attending soaking up knowledge like eager sponges. And in return, we got to learn more about local customs and the Laos way of life. If you are visiting Luang Prabang, please pay a visit to this worthwhile charity.
Our only excursion outside of town was to the popular Kuang Si Waterfalls. We booked a day trip through White Elephant Adventures. We had high expectations as the price was almost double the cost of other trips to the waterfalls, but this one did include a hike, lunch and a visit to the local hill tribes.
Our guide Yue was very enthusiastic and relatively new to the job, just two weeks in. Along with two French girls, we jumped into the back of an open-sided truck. An hour later we arrived at the first hill tribe village very dusty and bruised from bouncing along the dirt track roads.
The hill tribes in this area are the Hmong and Khanu. Visiting villages is not quite our thing. It always feels like you are imposing on the local life. This was a little different as the hike started at the village and wound its way through the several kilometres of countryside, passing rubber plantations on the way to the waterfalls.
In the first village, we picked up a local guide, all of 13 years of age. I was also charmed out of NZ$1 by two giggly young girls who were selling bracelets.
We stopped for a lunch of veggies and rice at the source of the river that feeds the waterfalls. The last part of the walk was all downhill and pretty tricky given that there had been quite a bit of rain in recent days.
At the top of the falls, some wooden platforms provide a stunning view of the surrounding countryside. There are also natural pools for swimming and chilling out.
The crowds increased dramatically at the bottom of the multi-tiered falls. But with a little patience, we managed to get a couple of photos without people. I do love a good waterfall.
I had a quick dip in one of the pools good for swimming, the water cool but sparkling. Julie stood guard over our belongings.
On the way out of the park, there is the Free the Bears, Sun Bear Rescue Centre. Donations fund the centre and the bears have either come from captivity or have been found abandoned in the wild. The enclosures look a little tired, but the bears themselves looked in excellent condition and appeared to be happy in their surroundings. We were surprised that they don't charge a small admission fee. We did buy a T-shirt to help support this worthy cause.
Value for money for the day, hmmm borderline? We did make one or two suggestions to the owner who seemed to take our thoughts on board.
On our return to Luang Prabang, we had bottle or two of the national export, BeerLao at Utopia, a cafe-come-bar overlooking the Nam Khan River. Plenty of chill out space for the young and not-so-young.
Luang Prabang is a busy wee town, but it didn't feel overwhelming. Despite the many visitors the town has managed to retain a gentle pace of life. During the day most visitors are out of town exploring the surrounding countryside. In the evenings there is enough choice of restaurants and bars that it sometimes feels almost empty. The busy season is January and February when the weather is a little cooler. For us, it was time to head south and to experience a first for both of us.
Our next stop was the small town of Kasi, to try our hand at riding a motorbike. Transport South was in the form of an air-conditioned minibus which was full to bursting. Thankfully we were one of the first to be collected, so we had the pick of the seats. However, the last pick up saw a French guy completely lose his cool. He was not happy that either he or his girlfriend would have to sit in the jump seat next to the driver. She hid with embarrassment around the side of the van as he unloaded on the driver. A young Canadian guy stepped forward and offered to swap places, not even a hint of a thank you from Monsieur Angry. Onto to Kasi, read more in Adrenaline Overload: My First Motorcycle Adventure, Laos Style.
We ate at Joy's Restaurant, Delilah's, and Amigos, all great value for money and really good food.
We visited Kuang Si Waterfalls with White Elephant Adventures NZ$70 (US$51/£40) included transport, guide, village fee, waterfall park fee and lunch. Plus a 10% off voucher for food at Utopia.

This book is a history of U.S.–French radio broadcasting in the twentieth century. Decades before satellite TV and the Internet, America and France interconnected regularly and instantaneously on a mass scale across the Atlantic. The book investigates how transatlantic radio developed into a dynamic field of cross-border circulation, cultural exchange, and geopolitics. Between 1931, when live broadcasts first linked U.S.–French listeners, and 1974, when France dissolved its public media monopoly, international broadcasting developed into a critical communication space that embodied turbulent interwar politics and the expansive tendencies of U.S. commercial networks; the cataclysmic events of World War II, including the German Occupation of France; contentious U.S.–French relations during the Cold War; French postwar international media expansion; and the effects of the 1960s on U.S.–French ties and media systems. The book examines the techno-aesthetics of radio as a technological medium linking two allied, but starkly different societies and cultures in new ways. The book complicates the paradigm of self-contained "radio nations" to demonstrate that throughout broadcast history, the challenges of developing and managing international interconnectivity required necessary partnerships that blurred lines of sovereignty, state control, and national cultural production. Radio's development and usage prefigured the global, cross-border digital communication technologies, tools, infrastructure, and mediated geopolitics of today.Less

Focusing primarily on France, it analyzes the anticipatory and reactive discourses to live interwar transatlantic broadcast connectivity with the United States. The period saw two contrasting, nationally inflected techno-aesthetics take shape in America and France that defined excellence in radio.

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) Symptoms
By Dr. Tomislav Meštrović, MD, Ph.D.Reviewed by Dr. Liji Thomas, MD
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a zoonotic virus that is transmitted from animals (most likely camels) to humans and is associated with severe acute respiratory illness, with potential multiorgan failure and death. This virus has stayed on the radar of public health authorities around the world not only due to recurrent hospital and community outbreaks, but also due to its high mortality rates.
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus - Image Credit: European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC)
Disease Pathogenesis
MERS-CoV belongs to a family of enveloped, large, single-stranded RNA viruses known as Coronaviridae. The virus enters the human body through a common receptor, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (also known as CD26), and subsequently replicates in bronchial, bronchiolar and alveolar epithelial cells. MERS-CoV has been detected primarily in respiratory secretions, with the viral load being highest in the lower parts of the respiratory tract.
Compared with another member of this viral family known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), MERS-CoV has the propensity to establish a productive infection in macrophages and dendritic cells. This can in turn instigate the release of proinflammatory cytokines, resulting in protracted inflammation and tissue damage that clinically manifests as a severe form of pneumonia and respiratory failure.
Patients with diabetes may have worse lung infections
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a confirmed case as a patient with laboratory-proven MERS-CoV infection, regardless of clinical presentation in the affected individual. Suspected MERS-CoV cases are defined using three types of case descriptions.
First, a suspected MERS-CoV case is an acute illness with respiratory tract involvement being predominant. It presents with fever and accompanying clinical, histopathological or radiological signs of lung congestion, together with a straightforward epidemiological link to a confirmed case of disease. This definition is useful where the MERS-CoV test is unavailable, inconclusive, or negative, with a single sample which is deemed inadequate.
Secondly, a suspected MERS-CoV case is also a respiratory illness of acute onset, with fever and accompanying clinical, histopathological or radiological signs of lung involvement, together with the patient's location in or travel history from the Middle East region or any other where the virus has been identified to be present in dromedaries, or where there have been human infections in the recent past, with an inconclusive MERS-CoV test.
Finally, a suspected MERS-CoV case is an acute respiratory infection of any degree of severity, together with a straightforward epidemiological link to a known case of MERS-CoV, and where a MERS-CoV test is inconclusive.
Clinical Manifestations
The incubation period of MERS-CoV infection is from 2 to 14 days (median 5 days), and the disease manifestation varies from asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic to severe respiratory disease with multiorgan dysfunction. Severe cases usually occur in adults who have chronic comorbidities – including chronic lung disease, diabetes mellitus, cardiac disease, hypertension, end-stage kidney disease and any kind of immunosuppression.
Compared with SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV is more prone to affecting older patients, people with comorbid illnesses, and males more commonly than females. Moreover, children have rarely been diagnosed with the Middle East respiratory syndrome, albeit there is a possibility that such infections are mild and hence underdiagnosed.
A majority of critically ill patients infected with MERS-CoV present with fever, cough, dyspnea and gastrointestinal symptoms (primarily dysentery, nausea and vomiting, and stomach pain). Other symptoms comprise rigor, migraine, sore throat, cough, muscular rheumatism and dizziness.
The case-fatality rate of MERS-CoV infection ranges from 20% to 36%. Nevertheless, it should be emphasized that mild or asymptomatic infections are often unreported, and thus the true case-fatality rate is likely to be much lower. Nevertheless, the mortality rate of critically ill patients is much higher (from 58 to 84%.

Earlier in 2018, John Mini Distinctive Landscapes opened a satellite office in Long Island City. John Mini's new space serves up office space and warehouse with room to grow. The JMDL team was interviewed to talk approach, reasons, and what it means for the future.
The office provides a hub for around 50 members of the 160+ John Mini team from supervisors to sales to design to management. The office was built in a way that aligns with the team's values. Office workstations are positioned in an open and flexible manner to further promote the value "collaborate relentlessly". The aesthetics and feel of the space are industrial and scrappy reflecting the value "Be resourceful", while also nodding to the firm's entrepreneurial roots. The attached warehouse is a game changer for the company's operations, most notably their outdoor maintenance division. The warehouse collocates the division's fleet of vehicles, team, supplies and equipment.
What were the reasons to open this location?
The investment in the space was thoughtful and purposeful. The decision ultimately boiled down to three overarching reasons.
First, the move is for the customers. The space is minutes from Times Square and Grand Central, two of Manhattan's greatest transit stations. Situated minutes from the Queensborough bridge, Midtown tunnel, and a plethora of mass transit options allows service teams and managers to easily access any of their customer's sites and better serve them.
Third, the move "cherishes nature". With the new warehouse comes efficient truck routes and better oversight of tools and materials. The new logistics reduce the outdoor maintenance divisions' fuel usage by 30%. The simplified supply chain minimizes waste and direct oversight of tools reduces wear and loss of equipment. All this syncs with the organization's value to be mindful of its impact.
What does the move mean for John Mini Distinctive Landscapes long term?
The analysis and decision to move to Long Island City and this specific location was done quickly. Despite John Mini's large size in its niche market, the move portrays the nimbleness of a start-up. As the company continues to grow, they will balance the strengths of a larger company while maintaining the mindset of a hungry entrepreneur.
Most importantly, the move signals geographic growth beyond its current footprint of New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Operations beyond this area is on the horizon for John Mini Distinctive Landscapes. While this is a big move today, this will be a footnote in the future story that unfolds for the team.
Please visit John Mini Distinctive Landscapes at any of their locations or reach out below. If you pop into their new spot in Long Island City, be sure to enter at 10-56 46th Road, Long Island City and look for the garage boldly painted with the team's purpose: "We Make Places Beautiful".


The Advanced Manufacturing Center at Quinebaug Valley Community College offers programs students training for hiring at Electric Boat. In eastern Connecticut, global military strategy is local as Electric Boat hires thousands of workers to keep up with U.S. Navy demand for submarines, driving economic growth not seen in most of the rest of the state.
Nearly complete, the USS South Dakota faces west from the cavernous construction hall of Electric Boat, as if ready to be pushed into the Thames River and out to Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean beyond.
On a recent afternoon, workers behind three-story high staging were welding together modules and connecting piping and cable systems to form the submarine that will be home to a crew of about 130.
The din of grinding, drilling and pounding signals the front edge of a wave of thousands of workers to be hired to build two submarines a year, delivering a powerful boost to southeast Connecticut's economy. With more than $8 billion for submarine design and construction for years to come moving in legislation in Congress — the measure passed the House Friday — retail, real estate and other businesses are anticipating a strong impact.
"It's going to be huge," Debra Chamberlain, a real estate agent at William Raveis in Mystic and former president of Connecticut Realtors, a statewide industry group, said of expected home sales. "We were the last one in the downturn and we'll be the last one out."
Dorothy Streeter, owner of Ken's Tackle Shop in Groton, said business has been "pretty decent" and in conversations with customers, she sees more EB workers. "They seem to be coming from all over the country," she said.
In southeastern Connecticut, where global military strategy is local, the construction of two submarines a year has been an elusive prize for years when just one submarine was built annually. A third is now being designed as production is planned for the new Columbia class.
Submarines are getting new attention as Congress and the Pentagon look for ways to face down threats from China, Iran and Russia. Undersea warfare had been sidelined by drones and helicopters that fought U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"We have so many man-hours," Bob Saran, a 37-year painter at EB, said as he recently headed in for the second shift at the Groton boatyard. "They're pushing people."
Faced with demand to build more submarines and replace retiring baby boomers, EB is halfway to its goal of hiring 2,000 workers this year, with about 1,200 split evenly between Groton and Quonset Point, R.I.
To account for attrition and new work, EB, which now employs more than 15,000 workers, will need to hire between 14,000 and 20,000 to reach 18,000 employees by 2030.
In Connecticut, which is muddling through a slow-growth economy and lackluster job expansion, state officials are welcoming a manufacturing trifecta expected in the coming years: submarine construction at Electric Boat, a ramp-up at Lockheed Martin Corp.'s Sikorsky to build heavy-lift Navy helicopters in Stratford and Pratt & Whitney, the jet engine subsidiary of United Technologies Corp., which is working through a backlog of orders to meet demand for commercial aircraft.
Among the most frequently cited benefits of Electric Boat hiring is rising home sales and rental housing construction.
Expectations had been lowered after the housing crash that ushered in the recession, Chamberlain said. EB engineers are buying homes in the $200,000 to $300,000 range, significantly less than the $700,000 homes bought by higher paid Pfizer Inc. researchers, she said. In a shift by Pfizer, many jobs have left for Cambridge, Mass.
Still, competition is picking up among buyers vying for houses.
"What we're seeing is the return of the multiple bid," Chamberlain said.
In New London County, 312 single-family homes sold in May, up 20 percent from May 2016, according to the Eastern Connecticut Association of Realtors. The median price was $223,750, a 3 percent increase.
And homes were snapped up more quickly, staying on the market 67 days on average, down from 90 in May 2016, the realtors group said.
New London issued 178 more residential and commercial building permits in the 2016-2017 budget year over the previous year.
In Groton, several housing projects are in the works: an apartment building with 22 units under construction, permits for construction expected soon for a 19-unit town house rental complex and planning approval granted for construction of 147 rental units in three buildings.
Kevin Quinn, Groton's manager of inspection services, credits EB's hiring of "a lot of young engineers" who prefer to rent than own.
Kris Ruetz, a test engineer at EB, and his girlfriend chose from a wide-open housing market and bought a Norwich home with 5 acres. They looked from Westerly, R.I., to Old Saybrook "and everywhere in between," he said.
"I felt it was a buyer's market," said Ruetz, who moved from Holland, Mich., and a job at a nuclear plant set to close next year. "We had a lot to pick from."
Mark Oefinger, Groton's recently retired town manager, said the region benefits from the certainty that comes with Navy planning calling for an increase in attack submarines to 66 from 48 and production, unchanged, of 12 ballistic missile submarines.
"There are very few businesses in the world that can tell you with some assurance what it will be doing in 10 or 20 years," he said.
Electric Boat has already been on a "hiring frenzy," he said. It's been staffing a former Pfizer campus in New London, which houses 3,000 engineers and designers for the Columbia.
To train workers ready to be hired by EB and small manufacturers a network of vocational schools and colleges has organized worker recruitment, education and training programs.
The Eastern Connecticut Manufacturing Pipeline, a state-federal labor partnership to train manufacturing workers, has drawn nearly 4,000 responses, or more than eight times the 450 slots available over three years for manufacturing training, said John Beauregard, president of the Eastern Connecticut Workforce Investment Board.
Unemployed or underemployed workers are taking an interest in training in machining, pipefitting, welding and other vocations, he said.
Sharon Hansen, an unemployed financial analyst experienced in woodworking and car maintenance, is switching careers and studying at Quinebaug Valley Community College's manufacturing technology center in a program intended to prepare students for EB. She was one of eight students at a recent introductory class on metrology, the study of measurement, and reading blueprints.
"To stay here," the Niantic resident said, 'you've got to reinvent yourself or move. It's time for me to reinvent myself."
Despite the emphasis on shipbuilding, workforce training funding would be cut in President Trump's proposed budget, according to Connecticut's congressional delegation. Three national programs budgeted at nearly $2.7 billion is jeopardized by a proposed 40 percent reduction.
"We should be expanding that type of investment," said Rep. Joe Courtney, whose district includes Electric Boat.
Courtney, a Democrat, expects "tremendous amount of pushback" in Congress against cuts in spending for training. "Eastern Connecticut isn't the only place where they're seeing a boost in manufacturing demand," he said.
Hiring to fill manufacturing jobs has not been easy. Robert A. Mongell, president and chief executive officer of Micro Precision Group, an Electric Boat supplier in South Windham making equipment that pressurizes ships, said hiring to add to his 70 workers is difficult.
Aerospace is going through a similar boom and is "soaking up a lot of people," Mongell said. Electric Boat, too, is a big competitor for skilled labor.
And the loss of manufacturing jobs in Connecticut — down 16 percent from before the start of the recession, to about 156,000 — has prompted young people to pursue other professions, he said.
"It's been a generation that's been lost," Mongell said.
The Norwich-New London labor market is growing as the state's economy gradually improves. Between May 2016 and last May, the most recent month for which statistics are available, employment increased 2.1 percent, or more than 2,500, to 122,058 jobs. It was a modest increase, but the area's unemployment rate fell sharply, to 4.8 percent in May from 6.9 percent in 2014.
In the local economy that includes other industries such as tourism and the casinos, durable goods manufacturing accounts for a "good chunk" of employment, said Andy Condon, research director at the state Department of Labor.
"Eastern Connecticut has been perhaps the hardest hit in the recession," he said. "When you see a recovery like that, a full point over the year or more, that's good news. That's a decently strong recovery."
Nearly 450 Connecticut companies that build submarine parts and systems — hydraulic valves, software development, control valves and other components — received $514.1 million in purchase order awards in the past five years, according to the Submarine Industrial Base Council. That represents about 3 percent of the $18.7 billion nationally for more than 5,000 suppliers that contribute to submarine, one of the most complicated machines ever designed that includes 1 million or more parts.
Eastern Connecticut has weathered numerous downturns, but employment and business levels have changed at different times, providing the benefits of diversity.
For example, employment at Mohegan Sun has fallen to 7,142, down nearly 30 percent from 2008 due to a slow-growth economy and rising casino competition in the Northeast. Pfizer Inc. has shed more than 3,000 jobs in the region — but remains steady at about 3,000 — following its move to Cambridge, Mass.
And Electric Boat in Groton and Quonset Point, R.I., employed as many as 28,273 workers in 1976 and fell to as few as 9,103 in 2000, nine years after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.
"We've been very fortunate," said Tony Sheridan, president of the Eastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce. "Growth and security have slipped back and forth between EB, Pfizer and the casinos."
Saran said that with fewer workers now than when he began at EB in the early 1980s, deadlines and spending are tight. "We've got to watch the budget," he said.
One thing is unchanged over 37 years, however.
"They wanted the submarines," Saran said.
Legislation for the federal government's budget year beginning Oct. 1 provides full funding of $1.9 billion for the Columbia class program and $6.4 billion for the Virginia class.
"Submarines are the strongest, stealthiest, most survivable weapons platform out there," said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The spending proposal is a "very powerful shot in the arm" that also advances U.S. defense policy, he said.
The rise in manufacturing in Connecticut may finally end a dry spell when skills training sputtered, said Stephen LaPointe, director of the manufacturing technology center at Quinebaug Valley Community College.
"It's a perfect storm right now and unfortunately, they turned the manufacturing switch off for a long time," he said.

From Facebook to Catholic Mass
December 17, 2017 · by quierespaz · Bookmark the permalink. ·
From Facebook to the Kin-dom of God
Facebook is worried that Facebook may be bad for you. Well, kinda.
In a corporate blog (Dec. 15), Facebook addresses the question, "Is Spending Time on Social Media Bad for Us?" They then point to research that suggests scrolling through Facebook, and blindly hitting the "like" button, makes people feel like crap. "In general, when people spend a lot of time passively consuming information—reading but not interacting with people—they report feeling worse afterward," they write.
The key phrase is "passively consuming." The authors' solution to this problem is not, as you might think, using Facebook less. Instead, their bold solution is: more Facebook! Instead of just 'liking' things and scrolling through feeds, they suggest that we should be more actively engaged. Send more messages, post more updates, leave more comments, click more reaction buttons.
The blog reports, "A study we conducted with Robert Kraut at Carnegie Mellon University found that people who sent or received more messages, comments and Timeline posts reported improvements in social support, depression and loneliness," However, what is key in this result is a strong established sense of belonging between the individuals sending and receiving messages as well as the depth of content and amount of time spent in communication. On the other hand, participants assigned to browse Facebook for 10 minutes without interacting with friends felt envy and lower affect (Verduyn et al., 2015).
So, Facebook admits there is a downside to using Facebook (somewhat). They suggest: to achieve greater happiness in life and boost your sense of belonging—use more Facebook.
Let's Extrapolate.
What if we took the information cited above and applied it to liturgy, specifically, to what we Catholics call "mass?" Over the past 15 years, there has been a steady decrease in Sunday mass attendance. Certainly, factors such as the priest sex scandal, the closing of catholic schools, and a growing rejection of the authority of a patriarchal hierarchy have all had major roles to play in this decline.
But what if we were to approach the issue from the perspective of individual catholic spirituality? Let us consider the impact "passively consuming" has had on the catholic mass.
In what has been lauded as the finest contribution of the Second Vatican Council, "Sacrosanctum Concilium" (The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Dec. 4, 1963), gained fame for recognizing that the catholic liturgy needed reform and renewal. Even more notable has been its striking emphasis on "the full, active and conscious participation by all the people."
Attempts at this "full, active and conscious participation" have taken place over the years, e.g., the return of the R.C.I.A., a greater role of the laity in ministry and pastoral leadership, even changing the mass from Latin to the vernacular that made the prayers of the mass accessible in ways they had not been for centuries.
But what would be the response if we asked the average "person in the pew," "Do you experience the mass as an event that truly represents the full, active and conscious participation by all the people?"
Researchers like David Roozen (Hartford Seminary) and Dean Hoge (Catholic University), have studied the decline at mass attendance (aka: the "empty pew syndrome") and have pointed out that, historically, church attendance has typically followed generational lines. If your parents and grandparents went to church, so did you.
However, this is no longer the case with generations since the Baby Boomers. A new "consumer attitude" toward religion has grown. For Hoge, this means, "you don't go to church or synagogue out of duty or loyalty. You go to it if you get something out of it,"
So. If "passively consuming" has proven detrimental for social media outlets like Facebook, what does this tell us about young "consumers" who feel they "get nothing" out of church?
Certainly, "full, active and conscious participation of all people" remains a goal worth accomplishing. But remember, "all people" includes gays, lesbians, transgender, immigrants, people with addictions, people with mental illness, agnostics, other denominations, and others who have typically not felt welcomed by the catholic church.
Another concern: since the 2011 implementation of the Roman Missal III, there have been universal complaints regarding this collection of mass prayers. Research among priests (CARA) found that across dioceses of the United States, 59 percent disliked the Roman Missal III translation and 80 percent said the language was awkward and distracting. Among parishioners surveyed, the dislike was even greater.
Two Considerations.
Listen and learn.
What if the catholic church really listened? What if the church listened to ALL people, (this, obviously, includes young people, but also: gays, lesbians, transgender, immigrants, people with addictions, people with mental illness, agnostics, other denominations, and others who have typically not felt welcomed by the catholic church) and asked:
What are we doing that pushes you away?
What are we doing that does not feed your soul? What can we do better?
How can we participate in your spiritual journey in ways that are loving, beneficial, and that witness the presence of Christ among us?
Ask these and similar questions and then just LISTEN!
Change and be transformed.
Is the catholic church able (willing) to change? If the transformation of souls (from a divided, polarized, egocentric world to a "kin-dom" of peace, justice, and egalitarian cooperation and co-responsible living) required that the church yield it's power and authority, would it do so?

A pizza cutter is one of the more unusual items in the kitchen that needs cleaning. One side of it you can clean easily (if you can get it to stop rotating), but the other side has the handle attachment, which can be difficult to clean if you don't know how. Use the tips below to ensure your cutter is fully clean.
If there is dried pizza on the cutter, soak it in a bowl of soapy water for 30 minutes to an hour to soften the debris. Do not let the cutter stay in the water too long or it could rust.
Place a sponge or folded towel in your sink and hold the pizza cutter at an angle against the sponge or towel so that you can easily scrub the surface without the cutter rotating. Do this to clean both sides of the blade, slowly rotating the back side of the blade to clean the section behind the handle attachment. Be careful not to cut yourself on the blade.
Rinse the cutter thoroughly, then repeat the floss test.

Floyd Mayweather Beaten, Taunted By Woman
Rohan Nadkarni
The ESPY Awards–a celebration of ESPN's ability to celebrate celebrities—are being handed out tonight as ESPN takes advantage of the lull in the U.S. sports schedule. We've already had one memorable moment, even though the official ceremony has yet to begin. On the red carpet, MMA star Ronda Rousey was given her "Best Fighter" ESPY, a category that included Rousey, Floyd Mayweather, Donald Cerrone, Terence Crawford and Gennady Golovkin. (Although apparently voting is still live? We're not sure how Rousey already got her award.)
Upon receiving her trophy, Rousey absolutely ethered serial woman beater Floyd Mayweather, looking into the camera and saying, "I wonder how Floyd feels being beat by a woman for once." It's probably Rousey's best knockout yet.

China Raises Investment Quotas
By Victoria Ruan
BEIJING -- China's foreign-exchange regulator said yesterday that it has increased the total quota for foreign companies to invest in the domestic capital market to $30 billion under the qualified foreign institutional investor program.
China's QFII quota stood at $10 billion in the middle of June. China's government told the U.S. in May, at the second round of the U.S.-China Strategic Economic Dialogue, that it would increase the QFII quota to $30 billion.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and other senior U.S. officials are set to arrive in China this week for the third round of the SED near Beijing, where they are expected to push for further liberalization of China's capital markets.
The new quota comes on the heels of a cooling-off in domestic investor enthusiasm in China's stock market since the Shanghai Composite Index touched a record above 6000 more than a month ago.
Under the QFII program, foreign investors must apply individually for new allotments within the quota, meaning the new money won't flow into China's markets immediately.

ManGlaze Mink Mitten - Polish Etc.
I'm back today with ManGlaze Mink Mitten swatches! I promise I haven't disappeared off the face of the planet. I've been a bad blogger lately and it's been ages since I've had a chance to post (I'd make the usual excuses of life being busy, being out of town, and having family issues come up, but you've heard all of that before).
ManGlaze Mink Mitten is a beautiful silvery blue-toned purple suede finish polish. The finish really strikes me as a matte foil finish, it's extremely interesting, and unlike anything else I've seen.
The formula was excellent, just like the other ManGlaze polishes I've used. This is two smooth coats of Mink Mitten and it's perfectly opaque. The wear time was excellent and I wore this manicure for two or three days without noticing any tip wear.
Funny to think of a matte polish as being sparkly, but Mink Mitten definitely sparkles.
The funniest thing happened when I went to remove this polish. I made a swipe with my acetone and looked down to find that the foil base of the polish was still intact while the color was totally gone leaving a silver matte foil behind. (Photo below shows four fingers after acetone and the thumb normal.) I can think of lots of nail art possibilities with this one!
I can't believe how much I love matte finishes anymore, but I love the unique look of Mink Mitten, it's so beautiful and different in my stash!
That's pretty cool! What an interesting discovery. Love the lilac shade.

Clarity sought around grace period for Irish Sea trade
Liam McBurney
By Press Association Share
By Michael McHugh, PA
Clarity is being sought around extending the grace period for supermarkets' Irish Sea trade to independent retailers, the Northern Ireland Secretary said.
Supermarkets will have months extra at the end of the Brexit transition period to adjust their procedures to new regulatory requirements included in the Northern Ireland protocol.
Otherwise food supplies could have been disrupted from January 1, with additional checks and paperwork delaying their transportation from Great Britain, retailers have warned.
Brandon Lewis said: "Our view is that grace period should apply to retailers and manufacturers moving their products into Northern Ireland and we are working to ensure we can get that clarity to people as soon as possible."
The grace period for introducing the change will initially be for three months, with six months guaranteed for chilled meat products.
Mr Lewis said the UK Government was seeking a permanent and long-term solution with EU counterparts.
He told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme: "The whole point of that grace period is to give space to do that, not to create a cliff edge.
"We will be working with the EU to show there is a way to ensure there is a way that these products can flow properly, with confidence to the EU that it is not going to have any abuse of systems, but also confidence, more importantly, for the people of Northern Ireland that those products will continue to be available."
Retail NI, which represents smaller independent traders in Northern Ireland, has said there was an urgent need to outline what businesses were covered by the grace period and whether independent traders and wholesalers were included.
It is part of a series of measures agreed by the UK and EU on how the Northern Ireland protocol will operate. They will apply whether a wider EU/UK trade deal is agreed or not.
The protocol will see Northern Ireland remain in the EU Single Market for goods, necessitating additional regulatory checks and certifications on animal-based products entering the region from Great Britain.
Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove confirmed to the Commons that the deal would enable the Government to withdraw specific elements of the Internal Market Bill that would have overridden parts of the protocol in breach of international law.
While Northern Ireland will remain in the UK customs territory, under the terms of the protocol the region has to apply EU customs rules at its ports.
That means tariffs would be collected on goods moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland if they were due for onward transportation to the Irish Republic.
The requirement to collect tariffs on goods deemed "at risk" of onward transportation has been an ongoing source of contention.

Q: C# WPF very simple TextBox Validation i'm a total Beginner at C#.... I'd like to create a very simple Validation for a TextBox. Here is my Code so far:
MainWindow.xaml.cs
namespace Mynamespace
{
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void TextBox_TextChanged_2(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
        {
        }
    }

    public class AgeValidationRule : ValidationRule
    {
        public override ValidationResult Validate(object value, CultureInfo cultureInfo)
        {
            int wert = Convert.ToInt32(value);
            if (wert < 0)
                return new ValidationResult(false, "just positiv values allowed");
            return new ValidationResult(true, null);
        }
    }
}

MainWindow.xaml
<Window x:Class="Mynamespace.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Mynamespace"
        Title="MainWindow"
        Height="350"
        Width="525">
<Window.Resources>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
    <TextBox HorizontalAlignment="Left"
             Height="23"
             TextWrapping="Wrap"
             VerticalAlignment="Top"
             Width="120"
             Margin="167,107,0,0"
             TextChanged="TextBox_TextChanged_2">
        <Binding Path="Alter"
                 UpdateSourceTrigger="PropertyChanged">
            <Binding.ValidationRules>
                <local:AgeValidationRule />
            </Binding.ValidationRules>
        </Binding>
    </TextBox>

</Grid>

no errors, but it doesn't work... am i missing something?

A: TextBox is supposed to be bound to property Alter. For binding to work you need to set DataContext - an object with Alter property, e.g.
public class Test
{
    public string Alter { get; set; }
}

and
public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    DataContext = new Test();
}

then if you enter negative number, there will be red border around TextBox
