GDP Growth of US Slashed Down in 4th Quarter

The economy of United States is growing with slow pace. The experts hold the opinion that the reason of slow growth is due to the less consumer spending. They claim that the exports of the country have also slowed down causing the GDP to fall at 2.4 percent. But, they hope that, the economy of the country would surely improve its growth in the few months to come.

Prior to this, the GDP of the country was about 4.1 percent in the third quarter and it has sharply down.  On the other hand, Commerce Department said that “the figures are subjected to change as the available figures are not final”.

The weaker consumer spending and consistent downfall in the real estate market, have grossly affected the GDP, says an expert.  The report of Commerce Department claims that “The consumer spending contributing points to GDP has lessened down from 2.26 percentage points to 1.76 percentage points”.

No doubt, the unfriendly weather of United State is also one of the main culprits. It did not only affect the lives of the people but also affected the corporate sector.  But, economists are quite optimist over the pace of GDP growth. They say that “This year will be the strongest year in terms of economic growth”.

Needless to say, Paul Ashworth the chief economist of Capital Economics said that “the economy of our country is slowly and gradually improving and the pace of growth should be considered as bad omen”.

Moreover, the spending of the government has also slowed down to larger extent and there are possibilities that improvement in the exports of the country may help its economy to improve more GDP growth in few months to come.

Supreme Court Looks at the Execution Plea of Freddie Le Hall

Florida based prison Freddie Le Hall has applied for the execution protection plea under the pretext of mental disability but the State claims that Hall “the death row inmate” is not mentally disabled and has IQ level as high as 70. The Florida State has taken 9 tests of Freddie from 1968 to 2008 and his lowest IQ level was recorded as 60 and the highest level of IQ level score fell around 80.

Actually, Supreme Court had disallowed the states from executing the inmates having mental illness in 2002 and given the IQ determination right to the respective states.   The Florida state has devised a certain mental determination system on the basis of which if a person  has 70 IQ level would not be considered as mentally disable.

On the other hand, the lawyer of Freddie writes to court that “The IQ tests are not perfect measures to determine ones intellectual capability”. Freddie has also challenged the IQ cut off of the State and called it rigid.

It goes without saying, a Judge, Professors and Psychiatrists have already concluded him as mentally retarded person and not qualifying for the execution punishment.  Actually, he had murdered a 21 years old pregnant woman (Karol Hurst) who was abducted from a Florida store and killed in 1978. Under the punishment act, he had to be executed for murdering a citizen but his mental disability has been safeguarding him from this punishment.

Last but not the least, he had also killed a deputy of sheriff and had been punished for 35 years of imprisonment.  And, his death execution plea to Supreme Court is under consideration.

Besides, one of the 25 wounded villagers said that “when the military aircraft started hovering over us, the whole village was sleeping but within the short span of time it started dropping a series of bombs over us”. He further adds, the bombardment killed more than 20 people and most of the deceased were elderly men who could not be able to run out of their burnt home.

On the other hand, the Nigerian military denied the allegations and said that it had not killed any civilian in the strike.  This aerial strike has sparked violence across the Daglun region and Boko Haram extremist group has reacted with violence and mutiny of civilians.

The authorities are not clear how many people have been killed in this attack and what was the reason of inaccurate airstrike but the tensions in the vicinity of Daglun and Mainok are inviting more troubles for the civilians.

No doubt, if you are expert and well versed with the antivirus functioning, you may not need to run the malware abilities of your product but most of the time people are arrested with serious malware problems.

Bill Gates says Control Alt Delete was the biggest mistake

The Microsoft founder Bill Gates says that “it was the biggest mistake to make control alt delete key”. The triple key should been much easier but IBM key designer asked us to make it more tricky. He adds “we could have made a single key having the same function that is of the triple key but our keyword designer prevented us in the regard”.

He made this confession in the questions and answers session of Harvard fund raising campaign and said “Our focus was at the software side not at the hardware side and we had achieved remarkable success though”.
Actually, the control alt delete key is generally pressed in the notebooks or desktop computers to lock the screen or access to control panel and it involves two hands which may cause sudden reboot of the system. On the other hand, the key maker Engineer David Bradley said that it was supposed to be a shortcut during the course of development.

It goes without saying, Bill Gates had received an honorary degree from Harvard in the 2007 and since then he has been actively working for fund raising campaigns. Furthermore, he said that “it was we, who increased the Mac users for Apple and Steve Jobs and I were friendly competitors in the market.

Last but not the least, during the questions and answer sessions Bill Gates came up with a big variety of topics and shared everything pertaining to his person life, philanthropic nature, and his relationship with the apple. In simple words, he recalled his pleasant moments of past.

Mixed Feelings of American over illegal immigrants

People of America have shown mixed feelings over the illegal immigrants. Few people hold the opinion that they are happy with the unregistered immigrants and a few says they should be deported and the recent rise of deportation is really good, claims Pew research center recently released report.

The report claims “recent rise of deportation is on hike and breaking the record of 1 score”. It is said that almost 420,000 illegal immigrants have been deported from the country in 2012. Besides, the report says “during the years of 2009 to 2012 more than 1.6 million illegal immigrants have been deported and the deportation figure was same that had been accounted during the two tenures of the then President George W. Bush”.

A senior democrat Chuck Schumer holds the opinion that “our system is flawed and there are some breaches in our immigration policy”. On the contrary, Congressional Budget Office told that “if we make reports in our immigration system, our GDP will grow to up to 3.5% and that would be more than Democratic spending and Republican tax”.
The Pew research center released report is showing an alarming figure. It claims that 73 percent people think that illegal immigrants should not be expelled from the country and there should be a way out for the legitimacy of their citizenship. Carroll Doherty the director of Pew said “a large majority of United States favors the illegal immigrants and enactment of legislation would create conflicted feelings among the people”.

Lastly, another survey also claims the same figure that has been pointed out by Pew research center. It claims 60 percent of Americans dislike the rising figure of deportation and they are not in favor of enactment of immigration law”.

Finally, Russia has occupied the Crimean region and deployed a big number of military men to monitor and control the crisis. But, it has not been made public that what military strength have Putin deployed in the region. The president of Russia Vladimir Putin dismissed all the warnings leveled from world leaders and escalated serious crisis in the whole region.

On the contrary, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev discharged the allegations and said that “Moscow has not decided yet when to deploy forces”. In addition, the Russian upper house (parliament) has approved the request of Putin for deployment of forces in the Ukraine and gave the green signal for military force to fullest extent.
Putin had informed the parliament that Russian people living in the Crimea region were being inhumanly treated and Russia should forward to protest the rights of its citizen. On the other hand, the Ukraine leaders denied the Russia blame of mistreating its people and said that it was being pampered to launch onslaught over the territory of Ukraine.

The invasion of Russia escalated more problems in the world politics. President Obama made a call to Russian president and spoke with him more than 90 minutes to know the gravity of the tension. It is said that Putin had categorically said to President Obama that it was Russian right to safeguard the rights of its citizen living in the Crimean region.

On the other hand, according to White House press release, President Obama said that “Russia’s continuous violation of territorial integrity and Ukraine Sovereignty would grossly affect its image at world level”. Besides, after the message of Obama to Russia, all the senior members of Army and senate asked for the prompt reply to the Russian move and said that Russian must be informed that what repercussions it will face for violating the sovereignty of Ukraine.
