30-Year Fixed Mortgage Rates Plunge to Lowest Rate in 16 Months
“Rates dropped to the lowest level since June 2013 on news that the Federal Reserve has more reservations about the health of the U.S. and global economy than expected, which in turn, may delay rate hikes,” said Erin Lantz, vice president of mortgages at Zillow. “With little economic news planned to overshadow the Fed’s latest comments, this week we expect rates to fairly remain stable, hovering just shy of 4 percent.”

Six to watch: British miniseries | Television & radio | theguardian.com
Few episodics will ever be able to hit the high notes that Dennis Potter's programme laid down 25 years ago. The Singing Detective breaks every television convention in the book and yet simultaneously riffs on them evoking everything from 70s sitcoms to 40s noir over six superb hour-long episodes. Part musical, part black comedy, part detective story it's a jewel in the crown of British television.
MAYBE *THE* JEWEL

Dennis Potter & The Singing Detective
It is a vade mecum of his themes and concerns and characters and techniques". I think it is more reasonable to regard The Singing Detective as a turning point, an accumulation of many old themes and an introduction of new ones for further exploration. Even if it doesn't cover all of Dennis Potter's themes it is the one single work in his canon that attempts to bring together the greatest number of themes in one text.

Hong Kong crisis exposes impossible contradiction of China's economic growth - Telegraph
"Xi Jinping has a horror of what happened to the Communist Party in the Soviet Union. If things get seriously out of hand, he may mobilise 'patriotic compatriots' (Beijing-controlled agitators) on the streets. In the end he will bring out the troops, if he has to," he said.
LET'S HOPE IT DOESN'T COME TO THAT ... WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS ELECTORAL REFORM ON THE MARGIN
" ... he is doubling-down on a one-party, one-ideology, authoritarian state. This is untenable. Hong Kong demonstrates the iron law that demands for freedom rise with economic sophistication. Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Tianging and Chengdu are not that far behind."

America’s Most Expensive Homes for Sale

After purchasing the property in 2005 for $20 million and completely renovating the 16,000-square-foot interior, the couple listed the home in December 2013. Corcoran’s Gabriella Dufwa holds the listing."
VINCE AN HFT GUY
✭
Take your time to see as many homes as possible to get the lay of the land. Focus on the most motivated sellers, as this is where you may uncover the best values. If a handful of homes meet your needs, ask questions such as: Why is the seller selling? What is the seller’s time frame for moving? How long has the seller lived in the home? You can ask these questions through your agent or by asking the seller’s agent directly.
The more you ask, the more you may uncover just who is the most motivated seller. Be open to taking on some renovation work, because that can add value to the property. The market will eventually turn, and there’s no better feeling than knowing that you bought low, with some bonus equity.
