Military Build Up of Defences
Today, Caesar Roday, Governor of Delaware announces via a spokesperson that defencive measures have been put into place and activated in regards to offering the best protection for not only the people of Delaware but also all military and government installations. Provisions of the defences are primarily kept secret but it has been made known that massive coastal guns and defences have been erected to defend the coast and also artillery and C-RAM guns have been placed near all government and military hubs. These weaponry systems were ordered from local company, Hammer Industries which is the chief supplier of military goods for the National Guard of Delaware. Several thousand orders for new desert fatigues have also been placed, indicating an increase in the nation's military personnel. Military expansions have also occurred in the air field, with the Airbus A-380 and Antonov An-225 coming into production.

The increase in military spending has caused unprecedented growth in several private companies with military contracts. Over the last year, Hammer Industries has increased its work force by nearly fifty percent. They also completed an expansion of their main factory. Executives with the company indicated the expansion would allow them to meet tight deadlines due to increased workflow capacity.

Estimated cost of the spending is in the billions.

The official spokesperson for the Governor's Office declined to comment.

ECONOMY GROWS BY 6.2%


The Delawarean economy grew at an annual rate of 6.2% in the first half of 2010, the fastest rate of growth in ten years. This was slightly above the 5.9% rate the economic forecasters had expected. The forecasts have been revised and full year growth is expected to be 7.5%.

The GDP, or gross domestic product, is now placed at 606 billion. GDP measures everything produced by the country, its people and its companies.

Nearly all industries showed a rise in output, with construction output leading with a 3.6% increase, up from the 2.5% seen a year ago. Chemicals giant E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Family namesake of the Presidential Candidate also grew, adding 25,000 new jobs and promising to open new factories in Delaware and throughout the United States

Household expenditure grew by 1.5%. Household expenditure includes not only household purchasing and payments but savings, transfers and estimated values of goods and services received also. This indicates the confidence in the country's economy.

The measures extended previous gains from earlier in the week, a strong rebound after a rough losing streak over these last weeks that sent stocks to their lowest point this year. Stocks have been weighed by worries about the global economy, but investors are growing hopeful that a strong earnings season can propel the market out of the slump.

Boosting expectations for the second-quarter reports, money-manager State Street projected second-quarter profit well above analysts' forecasts, citing improving revenue trends. State Street, which isn't a normal component of the financial markets is an independent agency run to insure a barrier of protection between the markets and normal society.
