Cloud storage provider Carbonite today released a new feature as part of its free Carbonite Mobile app for Android phones that allows users to remotely activate their smartphone cameras, taking photos of who may be using the lost or stolen phone or its location.
With the new "Capture" feature, "you may capture your thief red-handed, or use the picture to help find of your lost device," a Carbonite spokeswoman said. "Recognize the underside of your car's driver seat?"
Additionally, upgrades to the app include a Protect feature, which lets users identify the location of their mobile device, much in the same way "Find My iPhone" locates an iOS device using GPS tracking.
Like the iPhone app, Carbonite's Protect app also lets users sound the ringer -- even if the phone is muted or set to vibrate. Additionally, it can lock the screen on the device using a personalized PIN, and if it's stolen the owner can remotely destroy all personal data and reset the device to factory conditions.
Carbonite's new Backup feature lets users back up full-resolution photos and videos securely to the cloud and archives any photos and videos accidentally deleted from the device.
Finally, a new Access tool lets users see all of their backed-up files from any device with the app or through Carbonite's web portal. For current Carbonite online backup customers, the app will also give users access to the files in a PC or Mac backup.

PORTSMOUTH— Police are investigating burglaries at each of the Hanscom's truck stops along the Route 1 Bypass.
According to Sgt. David Keaveny, the burglaries occurred late Monday evening and were discovered around 4:45 a.m. Tuesday when employees arrived to open the store.
Keaveny said at about 10:07 p.m. Monday, someone made entry into the Northbound side of Buzzy's and attempted to take cash from the automated teller machine, but found none as the machine is emptied by employees at night. The burglar did, however, take off with about $40 in rolled quarters. A little more than an hour later at 11:24 p.m., forced entry was made into the Southbound Buzzy's location and manipulated the ATM in that store. An undisclosed amount of cash was taken, Keaveny said.
"It looks like they spent a significant amount of time trying to get into the ATM," he said.
The truck stop portion of Buzzy's on the southbound side remains open all night, but the stores on either side were closed and unoccupied at the time of the burglary.
Police reviewed surveillance footage and physical evidence at the scene to conduct the investigation. They have also determined a description of the suspect as a young white male with a skinny build, likely under 30 years old, who was wearing a black hooded sweat shirt, shorts and white gloves and a backpack. The man was carrying a small crowbar and appeared to be wearing sneakers.
Anyone who may have witnessed the crimes or have information about the burglaries is asked to call Portsmouth Police Detective Aaron Goodwin at 610-7627 or may provide anonymous tips through Seacoast Crime Stoppers at 431-1199 and also by logging onto www.seacoastcrimestoppers.org. Text messages TIPSCS in the message may also be sent to CRIMES (274637). Rewards of up to $1,000 are paid for information leading to arrests and convictions.

Soda: The Pepsi Throwback Throwdown
John: We can leave debates about the nutritional, societal, agricultural, and economical issues surrounding high-fructose corn syrup to another column. But as more and more companies are introducing non-HFCS products, it's no surprise to see soda companies jump on the marketing bandwagon, introducing products like Pepsi Throwback, sweetened with good ol' sugar.
Coca-Cola has long offered versions with sugar in other countries, as well as in many Kosher food stores. But are sugar-based beverages better? I'll admit, I would grab the 12-pack of Throwback over the regular Pepsi because of my aversion to HFCS. (I didn't actually know if it tasted better, but the marketing had convinced me. Then, there's my fondness for the old packaging, and for Cindy Crawford.)
Carey: John is loyal to Mexican Coke, so I wasn't at all surprised he'd seek out sugar-sweetened Pepsi. But does he really prefer the taste of sugar—or just the idea of it? A few years ago, Adam Kuban tasted very little difference between Pepsi Throwback and the usual kind (and found a very slight office preference for Throwback in a double-blind taste test). What seems to me more relevant was that, in an exhaustive Food Lab, Kenji tested "Mexican Coke" (made with sugar) against normal American coke (corn syrup). He not only found that most tasters don't prefer the sugar version, but that thinking something was a Mexican Coke (or the experience of drinking it out of the bottle) had a huge impact.
It's of little matter to me (I preferred American Coke in every single test, and I'm a diet soda drinker, anyway), but John goes out of his way for Pepsi Throwback. If he doesn't really prefer it, that's a pretty big waste of time and money. (And John already has enough habits that waste time and money.)
John: For consistency's sake, we wanted all cans. American Pepsi, American Coke, and Pepsi Throwback were easy enough. But sugar-sweetened Coke? Your standard "Mexican Coke" comes in a bottle.
Carey: The solution came through a rather unlikely source: a new Celebrity cruise ship. We were on a weekend cruise (er, more on that later) leaving from Bayonne, but the shiny new boat was built in Germany, and they'd fully stocked their larders with German products, naturally enough. I got excited about the teeny Euro-style yogurt pots and drinking "Coke Light." John was all about the German sugar-sweetened Coke. So we made sure a can got back to dry land for the taste test.
John: Given that I'd rather sip and muse about soda than be tested on it (and that Monday Night Football was on), I figured we'd taste all four in unlabeled cups and call it a night. Being a rather severe stickler for detail, Carey insisted on a much longer battery of tests. (She'll roll her eyes and forgive me if I belch during taste tests, but half-assing it is not an option.)
Carey: So we not only tested Pepsi Throwback vs regular, and Coke vs sugar Coke, but every possible permutation—twice.
John: The results? I consistently preferred Pepsi to Coke (which didn't surprise me), and sugar-sweetened soda to corn-syrup soda. What surprised me is that I actually preferred corn syrup Pepsi to sugar-sweetened Coke. (I know I'm a Pepsi guy. It runs pretty deep.)
Carey: With a sample size of one, this isn't intended to "prove" that any one of these sodas is superior to another. It did illustrate once again, though, that there are discernible differences between the colas, and between sugar-sweetened ones and standard American versions. (And that John doesn't need to board another cruise ship for German sugar Coke fix; a fifteen-second walk to the bodega for a Pepsi will do.)
John: One of the most interesting takeaways, for me, was how consistently I noticed something odd about the HFCS. It leaves a tinny, metallic aftertaste, and it's a little sharper; and though it's not quite as sweet-tasting, there's something oddly cloying about the drinks that included it.
To quote Baudelaire, the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist. High Fructose Corn Syrup is trying desperately to shed its current moniker in an ad campaign rebranding itself as just another rendition of sugar. But after this taste test, I'm sticking to sugar when I can.
Carey: Turns out John was right about his own preferences, even in a blind taste-test. I'm sure they're only reinforced by the packaging. But really, what's wrong with that? I don't care if there are sugar pills or ibuprofen in my Advil bottle as long as my headache goes away.
Do you seek out Pepsi Throwback or sugar-sweetened Coke? And do you think you can taste a real difference?

Ngog snatches point for Bolton
Brighton were made to rue a number of missed opportunities as David Ngog's last-gasp strike earned Bolton an unlikely 1-1 draw at the Amex Stadium.
The former Liverpool striker netted with the last kick of the game to cancel out Bruno Saltor's opener and preserve Dougie Freedman's unbeaten record as Bolton boss following his move from Crystal Palace.
The hosts dominated from the off and should have been out of sight at half-time, but Ashley Barnes failed to mark his 100th Brighton start with a goal as he missed a penalty.
The woodwork also came to the Trotters' rescue, with Andrea Orlandi, Dean Hammond and Craig Mackail-Smith all denied.
Bruno's first goal for the club - from 30 yards - looked to be sending Gus Poyet's side into the npower Championship play-off places until Ngog's late equaliser.
Tomasz Kuszczak returned to the hosts' starting line-up after missing last week's win at Huddersfield and the former Manchester United goalkeeper was called into action after just 11 minutes, with Bolton dangerman Chris Eagles testing him from 30 yards.
Brighton were awarded a penalty three minutes later when Darren Pratley was harshly adjudged to have handled Mackail-Smith's cross in the box.
However, Barnes saw his spot-kick well saved by Adam Bogdan, who then superbly blocked the four-goal striker's rebound.
The hosts went close again when Orlandi and Hammond both had shots cannon back off the crossbar in quick succession.
Poyet's troops continued their dominance and Bogdan had to dive to his left to deny the lively Mackail-Smith before the bar stopped the striker's header from going in after 35 minutes.
The Trotters came out with more purpose after the interval, with Ngog shooting over from 20 yards, and they were aggrieved not to be given a penalty of their own when the ball looked to have hit Marcos Painter's arm in the box.
However, Brighton finally opened the scoring in the 54th minute. Mackail-Smith was brought down by Matt Mills and after Orlandi's free-kick was cleared to the edge of the box, Bruno fired into the bottom corner from 30 yards.
Orlandi almost doubled his team's advantage, testing Bogdan before seeing an effort shave the post after he did well to create some space.
Jacob Butterfield was introduced from the bench on the hour mark and the Norwich loanee needed just seven minutes to have his first effort, firing over from 20 yards.
The former Barnsley midfielder then brought a fantastic save from Kuszczak eight minutes later.
Will Hoskins almost made the points safe, only to see Bogdan dive to his left and tip the substitute's effort round the post.
But Bolton punished Brighton's failure to convert when Ngog found the bottom corner from eight yards five minutes into stoppage time.

I have a major issue on both my husband's and my laptops. We both have Windows 7 64 bit Home premium and both WU is set for "check for updates but let me decide". All our updates are up to date as for October updates. Recently Woody changed the Defcon to level 3 and said to get patched with regard to the Nov patches. Now all the required updates were showing on both pc's as of last night before I went to bed (I left mine in sleep mode and shut down my husband's). I had some questions and I was following the Defcon 3 thread here on Woody's so I didn't do any of the updates, I was going to do them today. Well when I clicked on the WU icon today to start the updates it said that my computer was up to date and that there were no updates available which I know was not the truth because I hadn't installed any of them. I then clicked on "check for updates" and I got some sort of error (sorry can't remember the number). I checked the installed updates and nothing other than the MSE definitions update was installed since all the Oct. updates. So I thought it might be a glitch and maybe I needed to restart my computer so I did. In the meantime while I was waiting for my pc to reboot I turned on my husband's pc to check things out there. When mine rebooted and his started neither had the WU icon come up on the task bar as it usually does when there are new updates. So I clicked on the start button on both pc's and manually went to the Windows Update and when I click on it I get this message:
When I click to check for updates I get this message:
I get this on both pc's and I have restarted both and get the same thing. I have gone into the task manager to try to turn on the Windows Update service but nothing shows for WU.
I ran a Malwarebytes scan and no threats are detected.
I am NOT sure what to do……..HELP!!! Is it SAFE to use our pc's?
It may be that the Windows Update Service itself is disabled or not started:
Click the start button (bottom left)
type service into the text box
Click Services (the list is aplhabetic)
Slide down to Windows Update
Does it show started?
If not, Double-click it
Click Start and make sure start up type is set to automatic (delayed start)
If this does not fix things, I can offer more complex solutions
Thank You Canadian Tech, I have in fact gone in to the services on both pc's and both say that the Windows Update is started and both set for automatic (delayed start). Keep in mind that I only use my computer and I am not savvy at all with doing any type of work on computers so anything in real depth will be over my head. 🙁
Did you realize that we've passed "ExpiryDate"? I didn't so I had problems with Windows/Microsoft Update.
Look at "c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\AuthCabs\authcab.cab" file.
There is information about valid date:
<IssuedDate>2013-12-03T11:59:25.5067616-08:00</IssuedDate> <ExpiryDate>2017-12-03T11:59:25.5067616-08:00</ExpiryDate>
We must wait for newer file:
… or revert system's date to older than 2017-12-03.
Edit: removal of direct download of .cab file
Open Windows Update and click Change settings, change to Never
Restart your computer
I know this will sound complicated, but it really is not…….
You are going to reset Windows Update components:
Start, All Programs, Accessories, Right-click on Command prompt, Choose Run as administrator, OK. Type the following in the black box:
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
Tip: Instead of typing each line, you can select the text in the line above by high-lighting it, right-click, choose Copy from the pop-up menu. In the black window, Right-click anywhere, choose Paste from the pop-up menu, Enter.
Canadian Tech I know you are trying to help but I really don't feel comfortable doing anything like that on our pc's. I am so scared of screwing things up worse then they are now and then I will really be in a mess. What I don't understand is WHY did BOTH pc's do the exact same thing on the same day. One being left in sleep mode and one shutdown, neither installing any sort of update?
I can confirm the reset described by Canadian Tech here worked in at least one instance. Caution, it is destructive to Update History; but everything will still be properly listed in Installed Updates.
My 2011 Toshiba Satellite laptop (AMD) is now a secondary device, so I was less concerned with it's fate. I remember when CT started his epic Answer thread on that volunteer website, and what caused it. I am not a big believer in coincidences. Aging Win7 is still outdistancing Win10. And there is a major gift-giving holiday this month. Might be a good time to nudge a few people into the market place. By hook or by crook.
I also acknowledge that if a transient problem at Microsoft's update server just happened to become repaired within the same hour that I applied CT's method; then I have come to a wrong conclusion. See above opinion regarding coincidences.

anonymous #149436 here.
Pardon me, I used the term destructive without mentioning that all can be restored until you take the actually destructive action of deleting the renamed folder. The only thing CT's reset does is hide the previous folder under a new name. To recover, without destroying either, shuffle the folders by renaming the new to a third name, then rename the old to the original. Reread that until it makes sense.

Thanks, that worked for my Win7 Pro 64-bit w/ last visit to WU 01 December.
I think there is something else going on.
@KarenS has two unrelated computers with the problem all of a sudden.
A friend of mine has the same problem when I tried to help her with updates this afternoon.
I had two pending updates on my Win7 – unchecked MSRT and a checked Office update that I have been waiting on. It now says I'm up to date – no updates.
One of the few hardware installs I have – is having the same problem – it's been down since the last updates.
I think there is a problem with MS.
Agree, I think MS has an issue (if not many)No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created IT - AE
twbartenderAskWoody Plus
I am also receiving the same Windows Update Error when I just checked for updates. The error code is: 80248015. Prior to checking for updates I noticed that the unchecked November MSRT windows update had been removed, and that the most recent MSE definition update failed to install. The last one to correctly install was 1.257.1318.0 at 7:30 am this morning.
A few months ago there was a similar problem that turned out to be caused by a faulty MSE update. At that time it took 3 or 4 days before Microsoft corrected the error.
CanadianTech and PKCano I am having the exact same problem!
PKCano do you think it is a problem with MS and we should just sit tight or is the Nov. rollup the problem????
edit to add..
FYI my last MSE update was this morning 1.257.1307.0
What I noticed yesterday or the day before, was that one of the MSE def updates was in the recommended/ optional section of WU, these def updates are normally in the Important section.No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created IT - AE
It is truly a shame what a mess Microsoft has made of the decades long revered Windows Update (WU) system. I know I am a heretic, but I saw this developing over a year ago. I look after about 150 client Windows 7 computers. September 2016, I set all computers WU to Never. For some months until May of this year, I applied so-called "security only" updates. Then they became all messed up. Office updates have become a cesspool.
At that point, I decided that the risk of Microsoft making a positive mess out of our Windows 7 computers was a certainty, while the risk of some hacker with a virus making a mess of our home computers was far less.
Not a one of these computers has seen a Windows Update since May 2017. They are protected by Bitdefender antivirus. Not a single one of them has had a problem of any kind. They are all stable and run completely reliably. Bottom line, for us, January 2020 has already come and gone. Guess what, Windows 7 looks better than ever for now.
PKCano that was my first thought when I realized that both of our pc's did the exact same thing. I tried to Google it to see if there was a issue with MS or Windows Update but I can't seem to find anything. That was another one of the reasons why I didn't want to mess around with changing anything because if it is on MS's end I might just end up doing something that I shouldn't. I am a little relieved to hear that I don't seem to be the only one having similar issue, not that I wish this on anyone else. Both my husband and I have Toshiba pc's but different model numbers, both purchased in 2011. We had 4 Outlook 2010 updates (checked) and then the .NET update, the monthly rollup (both checked) and then the MRST (unchecked). All where there at 1:09pm this afternoon when my WU checked for updates but then when I went to install them I got the message that there was "No updates for my computer that everything was UP TO DATE".
So is it safe to use our pc's as normal in the meantime?
Rodger that…..hopefully we find out soon and it is an easy fix either on their end or ours. Thanks again PKCano!
Hi EVERYONE:
My windows update stopped working today also here in Riverside, Ca. My sister in Fresno, Ca had the same thing happen today.We both have windows 7 – 64 bit Performed the windows diagnostic and did not help, Followed Canadian tech suggestion and no luck.???? Why am I not suprised with all this happening with Microsoft. Keep us informed, many of us depend on your knowledge to keep us going. Thanks for all you do for us.
Herb Kelly
Sorry everyone forgot to mention My windows update stopped working after I installed the November rollup and important updates when woody changed to MS – DEFCON – 3, only installed checked updates and no optional. My computer was perfect until this point. Windows 7 SP 1, x 64
Herb Kelly
So I guess I'll just sit tight for now. I was almost tempted uninstall the Nov. rollup (my first attempt at Group A).
CanadianTech, I'm inclined to think you are correct. To think I just had a new hard drive put in and reinstalled Windows 7, here I was thinking my computer will run like new…
I'm getting the same message as Karen.
I have a Dell Inspiron desktop windows 7 Home Premioum 64 bit server 2008 R2
1 user thanked author for this post.
dgreen and others. If you would be interested, I can give you the process I use for re-building PCs within my strategy.
I had this problem on a desktop but also saw "WindowsUpdate_80248015" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"
Did not use yesterday but it was working Friday night.
After seeing no updates work I did install 64 bit manually
Nov 2017 KB 4048960
Nov 2017 (IE11) KB 4047206 — this one blew up uninstalled and reinstalled
Nov 2017 KB 4055038 (fix for dot matrix printers)
plus Nov MSMRT for November as I skipped 3 months
— all MSMRT does for me is remove the debug menu for Hearts — yes I can catch the system cheating so I use it 🙂
sfc /scannow says it saw and fixed a dll.
I ran this windows-WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab to see what the MS fix would do, but it undid fix sfc fixed, so avoid that one.
I guess they finally lost their minds and move towards win 10 or else.
The only update on my PC in last 48 hours (it was up) was the MS Security Essentials, nothing else.
No updates for me all of November last was Oct 27.
No the SSDs and HDDs are mechanically fine and no file integrity issues
GoTheSaintsAskWoody Lounger
I just did a search for updates and have encountered the same error as twbartender: Code 80248015. Windows update was working fine for me yesterday (3/12).
On 1/12 I installed the Office updates, Security Updates KB4048960 / KB4047206. The strange thing that happened to me though is that MSRT for October was offered again (checked), which I ran, but I didn't realise until after it was for the previous month. Everything worked as per normal so I didn't worry about it (it's not as if this hasn't happened in the past!).
Had a look at MS Community and found a couple of threads started today
I think those threads will grow once everyone around the world accesses WU.
As PKCano mentioned, it may seem as if this is an MS problem.

I just noticed the same problem with Windows Update on my WIN 7 Pro sp1 x64 machines.
Don't know if this is relevant but one hour ago Microsoft Security Essentials automatically updated the definitions to 1.257.1328.0, although it didn't show up in the update history of Windows Update as it normally would.
If folks are nervous because they haven't installed November patches you should still be able to download the patches from the Microsoft Catalog and manually install them. Just for kicks I downloaded the Rollup for WIN 7 x64 (KB4048956)from the catalog a couple minutes ago. Slow, but works fine. (I didn't install it since I'm a group B guy.)
My best guess is that the Windows Update failures are related to Microsoft Office 2007 no longer supported. I had expected Windows Update to continue to function but simply not return any MS Office 2007 updates. Instead it appears that Microsoft got heavy-handed (on purpose or accidentally) and makes it appear that your Windows Update is corrupt. Why do I think this? Because I restored to a month old disk image when Windows Update had been working fine, but even after going back in time, Windows Update failed the same way. I downloaded MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and had to run it in "aggressive" mode to reinstall Windows Update. That allowed me to run Windows Update to get the November updates, but I can't turn on the "Get updates for other Microsoft products" (which had been for Microsoft Office 2007). Unclear whether Microsoft has done this deliberately or by accident.
Not sure if your theory is true or not but that wouldn't explain why WU stopped working for me or my husband because we both have Microsoft Office 2010.
I too am unable to get updates – I have win 7 64x pro. I am not tech savvy and would rather not do complicated fixing & digging into the innards of my computer unless absolutely necessary.
My question is: Do you think MS will fix this in several days or will we be on our own because win 7 is just about on its way out for MS support?
Many others are having this issue.
Found this as a possible cause on the microsoft community website posted 12/4/17
(ie the problem is on the MS update side)
see ArgHereBeDragons post on page 2 top of page

This is what i can see.
The authcab file(s) (eg %windir%/SoftwareDistribution/AuthCabs/authcab.cab) contain an XML file called 'authorization'. There seems to be one for windows update and one for Microsoft update if you have that installed.
There is an element in this file called ExpiryDate which states:
which depending on your timezone is more or less now.
This lines up with an error from windowsupdate.log namely
DtaStor FATAL: Service 7971F918-A847-4430-9279-4A52D1EFE18D requested, but it is expired
where that guid relates to MS Update.
Hopefully this means we simply have to wait for MS to update the, er, updater so it will have a new expiry date! I believe in a perfect world the updater will do this automatically once one becomes available. Otherwise hopefully we are supplied with a download link somewhere.No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created IT - AE
BTW I also changed my update settings to "never check…" until this is resolved.
My previous setting was "check but let me choose…."
which would check for updates once a day.
I hope this is a fix that MS will take care of…
sooner rather then later!
Apparently some are having issues with updating MSE definitions also.
sheesh, what a mess!
I have the same issue since yesterday , 3rd. ( win 7 x64)
Last known windows update background check was ( in the background ) at 18:something , gmt +1
Since then it stopped and initially presented a screenshot saying that there were no more updates available (green shield).
Trying to run it manually, got error.
The /WER/ReportQueue had reports mentioning an error that was equal to not being able to connect to the remote server.
Turned off , went to sleep. Turned on the pc
Now I get the same error as the OP .
Those are now vanished, and the only reports showing are in /ReportArchive , fresh after today's startup, with a 80244019.
After a reboot, nothing new in /ReportArchive (last thing is from the first daily boot) , but still windows update doesn't work
Woke up to the same on both pro versions of W7x64 and W7x86.
Also MSE definitions update error on the W7x64, I then updated defs via mpam-fe on the system ok.BUT, WU was running and fully functional…go figure?!
W7 pro x86 however, WU is not functional at all (service not running, but it IS!)
Good grief..
Stopped WU service via cmd, Cleared SoftwareDistribution, restarted and tried again with still the same results on both systems.
Yesterday Everything was fine..No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created IT - AE

Do any of the messages people are seeing here state WHICH service is not running? I ask because Windows Update requires several services to do its work. The information might be available in the event logs.
FYI, I have several Win 7 systems that got their updates around the middle of November. One is a test VM that I can easily snapshot and revert as needed. I just reconfigured the firewall to allow updates (normally the system can't reach the servers), started the Windows Update service on it (I normally keep it disabled), and saw this sequence.
The only thing I didn't have from the November update set, probably because of the timing of when I ran the update, was the the "Servicing Stack Update" (dated September 20, 2016!?!).
Not sure if this helps identify what's wrong, but it's a data point. Any suggestions for the next thing(s) I can test here?

Just saw a POSSIBLE temporary solution. Change your computer time/date to December 1. Recheck for updates. It showed this check went OK. Reset time/date to current time/date. Open Windows update. It shows most recent check as 12-1-2018 @ current time. Recheck for updates. Shows Error 80248015, BUT it also shows last check for updates as 12-1-2018.
It looks like Windows Update on THEIR end is not working. I'll check again later to see what is going on.
No need to check.
Problem is with Microsoft

Noel Carboni, anonymous #149436 here.
If I recall you are among those who advised hide KB971033. I wonder if among or across your variety of Win7 systems you have a Home Premium equivalent with or without this item installed, and if that has any bearing on the current problem?
This is an old item, last discussed this recent July. But in July Windows Update still worked, and we are now under new conditions. Can you eliminate this wrong tree for me, so that I might look for squirrels somewhere else?

I'm sorry to say that I have no Win 7 systems on which I haven't hidden that update, so I can't contribute a data point to that thought. But apparently it's been or being resolved by Microsoft now anyway, so perhaps it's a moot point.
Regarding Pepsiboy's comment above about changing the clock: My advice: NEVER intentionally set your computer's clock back or forward. Some products will invalidate your license if they detect you doing so, most likely because of the legacy of people who have tried to run free trials for longer than intended.
anonymous #149436 here.
Thanks Noel, for the follow up. If things had not been repaired, then your input would have been a valid data point. It successfully excluded that update from consideration. Because among the field of systems with that update hidden were both clear and afflicted systems.
Today my machine is running cleaner than usual. Thanks again.
Deja vu …
It took M$ more than 1 week to fix this simple Nov 2014 problem for Win XP SP3 and Win Server 2003 regarding M$'s own set Expiry Date for the authorization of Windows Update.
… In the first place, was there a need for such Expiry Dates.? Doesn't M$ stop sending important updates when an OS reached EOL.?
Seems, M$ are "forgetting" their older OS which still have to be supported and then took their own sweet time to fix the problem.
Well, it states that the Windows Update service is not running, simply.
Bits and windows update service are both running

There's no doubt a reason for the ExpiryDate (although none I can think of, at the moment). What I wonder is why the ExpiryDate isn't set for the Win7 end of service date – and why it wasn't changed years ago…

Hi Everyone:
My windows update started working again at (9.00 pm December 4, 2017. Windows 7 sp 1 64 bit
Herbert Kelly
After running into this on 2 machines this morning, I renamed the Software Distribution folder and restarted the update service and got it working. After the fact, I saw the older AskWoody posts about the problems that come with that solution regarding update history, etc. I have these machines set to check for updates, but not install them. Will the workaround I used have any effect on that setting going forward? Just want to know how to handle updates in the future.
What you did for a "workaround" really wasn't one. It was not necessary.
The problem was on Microsoft's end. They expired a file that should not have been expired. So you should not have to change anything you have been doing with updates in the past.

Per Link above I JUST Fixed "Check for Updates" WU Error Code 80248015 by Stopping WuAuServ (Admin Cmd Prompt) and going to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and Re-Naming it w/extension ( .Sdold ). Did a Re-Start. WHEN WU shtcut First Clk'd it presented SAME Error Screen – BUT – when Check for Updates was Clk'd the Process Started. A NEW SoftwareDistribution Folder results (the old, Re-named on is 1+ GB, so you can Delete WHEN Working WU confirmed). Hope this helps someone, albeit Error Code likely different. You LOSE Update History when you Rename SoftwareDistribution Folder. SAVE File IF you know HOW.
EDIT 12/4 12:34 CDT: After W7-64 Rollup install and TWO MORE RE-Starts my System is back to Normal in spite of the following: I JUST RE-Installed W7-64 Rollup KB 4048957 after several posted – OK with theirs – and as Prior – Opening JPG, PDF, DOC, XLS Documents from desktop ShtCuts Takes FOREVER, as Does CLOSING them. Opening Folders with Files is slightly delayed and Closing is OK. Made Macrium Image just prior to Rollup Inst. Snipping Tool Save As is very SLOW.
No LINK in this Blog allows Rt Clk/ Open in New Tab = Blank Screen. Could we ever login and Stay on the Same Pg vs navigating back to where we were when Login started? FYI

Before I read Woody's article today I found this fix – https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cant-install-windows-updates-error-code-80248015/61f1309b-90f3-4c5f-bcc3-63440155577a?auth=1
It works, but you lose your update history, although all updates still show up in Control Panel\Programs and features\Installed updates.Steve Cohen
Hello, Portugal user here and I just have this exact same problem, same screen and same message box when I press to check for updates, I normaly like to wait 2/3 days after woody gives the heads up to see if no other bugs pop up. My machine is running Win7 Pro. MSE is updating fine tough (guess is independent from WU). So what do you guy recommend? Should I manually install the roll up (Im on group A) or should I just wait it out? I would appreciate if anyone could there me where to get the monthly roll up file to install manually in case that is the recommend course of action.
I'm having a hard time with this site!! It won't let me log in.
Hopefully this post will get through.
I found a temporary fix for the windows update issue. I found it on the following site.
you have to go to update settings and uncheck give me updates for Microsoft products.
I did and my checking for updates worked without a problem and was able to install today's MSE definitions.
apparently the fix comes from someone in Germany.
Seems that aside the temporary workaround of moving back the DATE, there's another trick that allows to temporarily run again Windows Update
Aka, deselecting the option to search for other Microsoft products.
This hints that the expiry date is important for the "other" products, not for the OS updates… but anyway… why …
Anonymous #149436 from above here, again.
I have read about the Expiry issue, but do not understand how that means the Windows Update server/service/process/result continues to work for me and approximately half of Woody's readers even today. And I have synchronized system clock to NIST.gov. I even verified that by manually changing time to a future hour in an elevated command line, then using the Timesetting GUI to check Internet Time, and it snapped back immediately.
I would have skipped this topic, except I think we have a barking dog at the wrong tree. And Microsoft gives us many trees to bark about. I say this because while the Windows Update GUI itself is fully functional, now the MSE GUI returns a nearly identical code 80248014. That is near enough that I am willing to think it is related. Why one repaired but the other not?
I intend to perform the same 'reset' as described by Canadian Tech a second time, to determine if MSE will properly check for updates. Incidentally, the magic is in the renaming of folders, thereby hiding them from the too smart for itself system. If you are doing this for a second (or more) time, you will need a new folder name each time. Duplicate folders can eventually be manually deleted, but it is a good idea to keep track of them until normalcy has returned.
Anonymous #149436 from above here, again, replying to self to report result.
Easily predictable, same result. Some evidence and conclusions:
Windows Update GUI continues to operate normally;
Forcing the process to recreate these folders contents eliminates error 80248015.
System clock is accurate to NIST;
expiry date is a problem, Microsoft is incompetent, but that doesn't matter here.
MSE GUI still returns same error 80248014;
this error is not repaired using this method.
My settings already set to Receive Updates for Windows Only;
no conclusion.
New conjecture: because I have to rehide unwanted updates after having eliminated my prior list, the update number KB971033 is jumping out to me because it stands alone as important and checked, while four other unwanteds are on the optional/recommended list unmarked.
New Question: Is there an opinion on this item, KB971033, as it pertains to this error 80248014?
Usual thanks, and respect to all involved.
Here's a workaround that works for the windows update issue.
I did it and it works!!!
you have to go to update settings and uncheck give me updates for Microsoft products.
I did and my checking for updates 2 times worked without a problem and was able to install today's MSE definitions.
apparently the fix comes from someone in Germany.
I strongly recommend setting WU to NEVER, leaving it at that setting permanently. It is the only sure way of gaining complete control over the WU process. The process (WU) has become unpredictable, unreliable, and just plain erroneous so much of the time, that Woody's MS-Defcon rating is almost always at 2.
The Surfing PensionerAskWoody Plus
Mmmm. I have been sitting here reading all the panic and hysteria and wondering how much it would actually bother me if WU were permanently out of commission – not that I think it will be: my guess is that MS are just twiddling their thumbs, hoping to convert a few more reluctant users to W10. After all, I only turn WU on once a month to download a handful of updates it is easier to get that way. Admittedly, it is a pain updating Microsoft Office from the catalogue, but I did it for a while when I had WU issues (anyone remember when it took hours and even days to download W7 updates via WU?). I have come to the conclusion that I can probably manage without it – and keep my system up-to-date – without having a nervous breakdown. But then I'm in Group B – the 'Losers' Group – and we have such a hard life, and all the wrong priorities! 🙂

I used the above workaround and it worked perfectly. No issues whatsoever.

Others have mentioned that they might wait for the update server to reset. Or try this.

A way around this seems to be to change the date to before 3/12/2017, say 1/12/2017. Then go to the windows update box and untick the 'Microsoft products' update box. and ok it at the bottom. Then close it and open the windows update again, you should see you can now check for updates as normal, and if you then put the date back to normal, it will still do the updates as before. I think something went wrong or timed out on 3/12/2017…somewhere…
Hello, still investigating but it appears this is only affecting stand alone systems. All of my systems on the domain reporting to WSUS are not getting this error. I've only been able to check a handful of systems but this is what I'm seeing so far.
Wow, thanks so much for this information. I was wondering what went wrong yesterday when I could no longer connect to Windows Update on my Windows 7 Professional machine.
Broken for me as well even though the service shows as running. Good job, microsoft! Your incompetence never fails to surprise. Not that i use update much as i'm in group b and regarding that… has anyone tried installing the security only updates? Any issues? I've still yet to install november and wondered if it was wise to do so at the moment, provided that is even still possible.

I did install both november patches ( group B ) this morning, with the windows update issue already hitting me since last night.
I had 0 issues with adding the patches ( I've skipped the dot matrix fix, i don't have such printers ), so feel free to go ahead

I got the 80248015 error early\mid-afternoon yesterday, Dec. 3. I had just checked for updates and was notified that 4 Windows updates, a .NET update, and a half dozen or so Office 2007 and 2010 updates were waiting. I got the error immediately when I tried to download and install these updates.
When I couldn't find any reports of others experiencing this problem with the November updates I assumed I was alone. I searched on the error and found and applied the solution to rename the SoftwareDistribution folder.
That 'fixed' Windows Update but it wiped out my WU history, didn't download any Office updates, and removed the WU settings check box to check for other Microsoft products. So I did another round of searching on this new problem but none of the solutions (generally altering settings in IE 11) worked for me. And that is where I am now.
So I was happy to discover today that it wasn't just my PC afterall.
Now I am waiting to see if and when Microsoft will fix this problem (how can they roll out an update to fix WU if WU is broken?). And I'm hoping I can reverse the renaming of the SoftwareDistribution folder and the changes I made to IE11 and put things back the way they were. If not I'll have to restore from my last image . . .

Noticed a few references to unchecking "give me updates for other Microsoft products" as a workaround. Use this workaround with caution, once unchecked this option will disappear from "Choose your Window Settings". To get the option back there used to be a MS MrFixit. Of course there still is a registry fix and some other solutions, but they may be too difficult for some individuals. On 11-1-16 Woody posted how to get the option back. https://www.askwoody.com/2016/how-to-restore-give-me-updates-for-microsoft-products/
From MS Forums
authcab.cab is expired. This effects all microsoft OSes still getting update up to windows 7 (including xp embedded)
<h2>What stands the error for?</h2>
If you search for the error on the Internet, you can quickly find indications that time, date or the time zone are incorrect (see e. g. here). But I was able to rule it out very quickly. Then I visited my blog post Tip: Windows Update error code 0x8024xxxx list to decode error 0x80248015. It stands for WU_E_DS_SERVICEEXPIRED – An operation did not complete because the registration of the service has expired.
Well the screams from around the world got the job done and WU seems to be working again. I came to see what new posts were here on Woody's and low and behold the Windows Update icon had returned to my task bar. When I click on it I get the normal looking box with all the updates waiting that were there before all this mess started. Thank you to everyone who posted with not only advice to help solve the situation but those who posted to say they too also had the problem so that myself and others knew that we weren't alone.
Ditto here. The windows update service is up and running again. It can be verified by going to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\AuthCabs\authcab.cab file. The expiry date in the authorization.xml file now shows 2025-07-01T00:00:00.0000000-00:00.
EDIT html to text – may not appear as intended
My authorization.xml now has:
CabVersion 8110
IssuedDate 2017-12-01T00:00:00.0000000-00:00
ExpiryDate 2025-07-01T00:00:00.0000000-00:00

Error now gone, updates are working correctly
Hope that helps

**** Changing the Date to (1 Dec 2017) WORKs *****
So does going to Windows updates, change settings,
On important updates change it to
[Never check for updates (not recommended)]
Now go back and run [Check for updates] again
When updates have installed then change the update settings back
I am using Windows 7 Enterprise 64Bit

IF Renaming SoftwareDistribution was YOUR fix and Update History is lost as per here, my Installed Updates List has 11 Entries of the SAME UPDATE in the 7/15 Group, one more in August, and does NOT match Update History.
IF you Re-Named the SftDist Folder.Sdold & haven't DELETED it, Does ANYONE know IF you can go in there and Find the Old Update History File and Copy-Paste into the newly Created one?

I tried this and it didn't work – but that was before MS fixed things.
It doesn't hurt to try:
Rename the current new (fixed) SofrwareDistribution folder to SoftwareDistribution.1712
Rename the original file (unfixed .Sdold) back to SoftwareDistribution
See if that is OK. If not, reverse the procedure
For those of you who wiped the datastore and lost the MS Update "Give me updates for other MS products,"
HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR GETTING "Give me updates for other MS products" BACK.
New issue
Started computer from OFF.
Checked Updates and it indicated you should check reqularly for updates (red warning). The install updates button was missing. Now system notifier says to check for latest updates and on execute says WUPDATE service is not running. Rolled clock to Dec 1 . That does enable ability to download did that yesterday as well but put clock correct and ability removed.
What I noticed / experienced today was :
If I set the clock back give me updates and give detailed notifications reappears. When I correctly set clock they disappear. Change clock to before Dec 1 or 2 and it works even letting MSSE get latest definitions. I do have Visio 2007 but use office 2010. 2007 was EOL I believe, big deal Visio still works.
I installed 2 updates for MSSE only on 2 separate win update launches. I then set the clock to correct day. The win update is now working for me. I did a restart of PC and it still works. I just did a shutdown and restart and it is still working. Again I only installed MSSE definitions today. I installed one last night along with Office updates but it was not fixed until doing what I mentioned above . Hope this helps somebody. And hope it continues to work for me.
Wow, update issue in Windows 7 issue finally fixed for me. It took the steps listed by guenni as well as then running the Windows 7 Update Troubleshooter and then having the troubleshooter flag this issue and then using method 2 in the Microsoft article. Now, I can finally update Microsoft products again in Windows 7.
I hope this may benefit other users as well.

I can confirm that if to fix the 80248015 error you followed the procedure to rename the original SoftwareDistribution folder to Sdold (or something else), then let Windows create a new SoftwareDistribution folder, and you got back your functioning Windows Updates but lost your Windows Update history and your ability to get MS Office Updates, you can back out these changes (rename the new SoftwareDistribution folder to Sdnew or something else, rename the Sdold folder to SoftwareDistribution) and Windows Update will be back to normal as if none of this ever happened. Phew.
High champs,
I solved the problem today in following Woody's advice and just set back the Windows 7 Systems Date to September 2017. After doing so I restarted my computer and then used the Windows Update program. As expected, I could successfully watch for updates. Then there was of course the famous error message, but it did not matter. Meanwhile my busy computer had automatically downloaded another MS software authorization cab file with another expiry date allocated someplace in 2025!
Then I re-set the systems date to today (2017-12-14) and rebooted my computer. Looking again for windows updates the program told me that there were 5 important updates waiting to be downloaded. Meanwhile I did the updating and Windows Update works fine again, hopefully up until 2025?

Your computer will not be damaged
Several people have written, that when they type drorly.blogspot.com they get a response from google, telling them that if they go to this page, they might be damaging their computer. Trust me, the only thing that will be damaged, is Obama's house of cards, everyone will soon see that he is damaged goods, has a damaged credibility, his transparency claims were greatly damaged, his standing with decent Americans are more then damaged, they are being demolished by the articles and posts from the readers on this blog. Feel free to add a few other ideas and empty slogans that will be damaged.

A photo circulated of an infant reported to be baby North West turned out to be a fake.
Rumor has it that the photo was leaked by Kim Kardashian to determine which of her friends would hawk her baby photos before she and boyfriend Kanye West decide to release them to the world.
Her plan was to send a half-dozen people photos of a decoy baby she claimed was the 10-day-old North as a test to find who her real friends were.
She reportedly sent the photos of the baby, which had some Kimye-esque features, and waited for someone to try to sell it -- and of course, they tried.
A second photo circulated as part of the plan. Kardashian is waiting to see whether anyone attempts to sell photos of the other baby.

2015 Opens Optimistically for Consumers
Global consumer confidence increased one index point to 97
Consumer confidence increased slightly or remained stable in every region except Latin America
New York, NY – May 19, 2015 – Global consumer confidence started 2015 with an index score of 97—an increase of one point from fourth-quarter 2014 and from a year-ago, according to the Nielsen Global Survey of Consumer Confidence and Spending Intentions. The Nielsen Consumer Confidence Index measures perceptions of local job prospects, personal finances and immediate spending intentions among more than 30,000 respondents with Internet access in 60 countries.
"While confidence across global regions remained relatively stable in the first quarter, there is considerable variation across different markets," said Louise Keely, senior vice president, Nielsen, and president, The Demand Institute. "In the first quarter of this year, the key emerging markets of Brazil and Russia saw large declines in confidence for the second consecutive quarter, with the drop in oil prices and the political instability in Brazil. China dropped another index point at the start of this year, which comes after a four-point decline in the previous quarter, reflecting the recent slowdown in GDP there."
"In Europe, there are signs of improved consumer confidence in many countries, which reflects signs of growth in these markets," continued Keely. "Lower oil prices have helped European consumers who are not in oil-producing countries, and labor markets are improving. On the other hand, the falling Euro against the dollar is good for export industries but not for consumers, who will pay more for imports."
The good news is that, compared to the end of last year when all regional confidence scores declined, it was a more upbeat start to the year, as confidence increased slightly or remained stable in every region except Latin America. Consumer confidence remained steady in North America (106) and increased one point in Asia-Pacific, posting the highest quarterly regional index score of 107. Confidence in the Middle East/Africa (96) and Europe (77) edged up one point in the first quarter but decreased two points in Latin America (86)—the region's lowest score since 2011.
Among the world's largest economies, consumer confidence increased most in Japan, rising nine points to 82 in the first quarter, which was the country's highest score since 2005—the start of Nielsen's Consumer Confidence Index measurement. Germany also reached a milestone: Sentiment increased two points to reach the baseline score of 100. Confidence also increased one point in the U.S. (107), three points in the U.K. (97) and three points in France (60). Conversely, confidence in China decreased one point to 106 from fourth-quarter 2014.
Global discretionary spending intentions declined or remained steady in the first quarter across all lifestyle categories measured. About three-in-10 global respondents (32%) planned to spend on holidays/vacations, new clothes (31%) and out-of-home entertainment (28%), quarterly declines of two, three and two percentage points, respectively. Spending intentions for paying credit cards and debts (25%) and new technology products (24%) held steady from the previous quarter. Millennial respondents—especially those in the 25-29 age range—exceeded the global averages by as much 10 percentage points for these discretionary spending activities. These consumers who are just starting their careers often do not yet have families to support and have more freedom to spend.
Global saving intentions, on the other hand, showed a slight increase of two percentage points for investing in stocks and mutual funds (22%) and one percentage point for retirement savings (11%) from fourth-quarter 2014. About half of global respondents planned to bank their spare cash (48%), no change from the previous quarter, while 14% said they had no spare cash, up from 13% the previous quarter. More than one-quarter of those aged 55+ said they had no spare cash (22%)—the highest percentage of any age group. A promising sign for the future, however, is that more than half of respondents in the 21-34 age range (53%) said they were saving their money.
U.S. consumer confidence increased one index point in the first quarter to a score of 107, maintaining an above-the-baseline optimism level for a year now. Conversely, confidence declined in Canada six points to 96, which is the country's lowest score since 2012.
In the U.S., the only confidence indicator that increased in the first quarter was job prospects, rising five percentage points to 55%, while personal finance sentiment and immediate spending intentions declined two percentage points each to 62% and 50%, respectively, from fourth-quarter 2014. Recessionary sentiment reached a new low of 50%, down from 53% the previous quarter and 63% six months ago.
"In the U.S., optimism continued to move forward in the first quarter, likely influenced by the addition of nearly 600,000 new jobs and low gasoline prices, which put more money in consumers' wallets," said James Russo, senior vice president, Nielsen Global Consumer Insights. "Consumer spending picked up in the first quarter, with fast-moving consumer goods sales rising 2.5%, compared to an annual increase of only 1.4% during 2014. While 2015 is off to a good start, half of Americans are still in a recessionary mindset, and nearly 35% say they live paycheck to paycheck. As this undercurrent of uncertainty still permeates, consumers continue to think carefully about how and where they spend their money."
Europe remained the least optimistic region globally with an overall index of 77, but there were several signs that green shoots were sprouting in the recession-mired mindsets in the region. Job confidence rose in 15 of 32 markets, while respondent's personal financial outlook increased in 18 from fourth-quarter 2014. Confidence for immediate spending intentions, while still comparatively low, increased in 19 markets.
Italy and Greece, two of the region's debt-ridden and recession-battered countries, both showed confidence increases of 12-points in the first quarter. Italy's score of 57 was the highest for the country since 2011, and Greece posted a confidence reading of 65—its highest level since 2009.
"In Greece, a new government was elected in the general elections that took place in January, and as such, this kind of change usually boosts optimism and brings new hope for the future," said Vicky Grigoriadou, market leader, Nielsen Greece. "The rise in optimism in the first quarter is higher than in past quarters, likely due to an expectation that the new government will successfully negotiate with EU and IMF authorities on the Greek debt issue and other economic prospects. Retail purchasing patterns remained restrained, however, as a more stable environment is necessary in order to increase household spending activities."
In the region, only Germany (100) and Denmark (106) reached the optimism baseline level. They were also the only two countries in the region where half (50%) of respondents were confident about immediate spending intentions.
"In Germany, a stable economic situation and a strong labor market had a positive impact on consumer confidence in the past 12 months," said Ingo Schier, managing director, Nielsen Germany. "Compared to last year, more Germans were willing to spend money. Grocery and drug-store spending this year has been at a continuously higher level than the previous year, with sales up 1.6% and 4.6%, respectively. Rising incomes and persistently low interest rates suggest that the consumer climate will stay positive in Germany for the long-term, but terrorism concerns and armed conflicts threaten to dampen these effects."
Several other countries posted their highest confidence scores in several years: The U.K.'s score of 97 reached the highest level since 2006, Ireland (92) reached its highest since 2008, Spain (67) reached its highest since 2010, and Portugal (59) reached its highest since 2006. Conversely, ongoing geopolitical tensions between Russia and the Ukraine likely contributed to new confidence lows reported in these countries. Russia's index fell for the second consecutive quarter to 72, a level lower than its confidence reading at the height of the Great Recession, and the Ukraine's score dropped 11 points to 41 in the first quarter.
"The normally resilient Russian consumer is under severe strain right now," said Kyriakos Kyriakou, regional director, Nielsen Eastern Europe. "The massive currency devaluation at the end of 2014 led to a flourish of consumer spending in an attempt to get ahead of inflation. Now, spiking inflation and negative wage growth are taking their toll. In the new market conditions, manufacturers and retailers will fight for a smaller share of shopper wallets as the majority of Russians have either switched into savings mode or have no spare cash to spend. Today, it's more critical than ever to get the "price vs. volume" equation right in order to maintain market share. Cheaper products are likely to generate more sales volumes than ever—as long as quality is not compromised."
Consumer confidence in Asia-Pacific increased in nine of 14 markets in the first quarter, compared to only three that rose in the fourth-quarter 2014. Nine markets also remained at or above the 100-baseline level of optimism. India had the highest index score in the region of 130, a one-point increase from the previous quarter and a level that has not been reached since 2011. Confidence in India has been on the rise for six consecutive quarters.
"The urban Indian consumer started the year with positive sentiment in anticipation of improvement through reforms and stimulus announced by the new government," said Piyush Mathur, president, Nielsen India Region. "These initial signs of optimism reflect anticipation of economic recovery that are yet to manifest when you look at fast-moving consumer goods and auto sectors in particular over the last few quarters. Moreover, infrastructure, engineering and other industrial sectors are yet to gather pace. The fall in inflation is expected to have an impact on disposable income over time, but it will take time for the sectors to be restored to perceptible and sustainable growth."
Big index increases were reported in Taiwan, where confidence rose 11 points to 88—the highest score since 2011—and in Japan, which rose nine points to 88—the highest score for the country recorded by Nielsen since 2005.
"Taiwan showed a strong rebound at the start of this year after a decline in fourth-quarter 2014," said Andy Huang, managing director, Nielsen Taiwan. "The rise in confidence sentiment was driven by a strong improvement in the outlook for jobs, which increased 16 percentage points from fourth-quarter 2014. Perceptions about personal finances and a willingness to spend also improved nine and 10 percentage points, respectively. Preliminary GDP forecasts, a falling unemployment rate and a stabilizing consumer price index were other positive indicators at the start of 2015, which likely contributed to increased optimism among Taiwanese consumers."
Vietnam and Malaysia also reported strong confidence boosts of six and five points, respectively, in the first quarter. Vietnam's rise to a score of 112 is the third consecutive increase and the country's highest score since 2010. Conversely, China's index fell one point to 106 in the first quarter, which comes after a four-point decline in fourth-quarter 2014.
Of seven Latin American markets, Chile (87) and Argentina (75) showed consumer confidence gains of six and eight points, respectively, while the region's economic engine, Brazil (88), continued to fall for the second consecutive quarter, as confidence declined seven points to the lowest level since 2009. Confidence in Venezuela (65) also fell five points, while Peru's score (99), the highest in the region, dropped two points in the first quarter. Confidence in Colombia held steady at 94 from fourth-quarter 2014.
In Brazil, sentiment about future job prospects declined 10 percentage points to 27%—a new low for the country, while personal finances sentiment decreased six percentage points to 60%, the second lowest level in 10 years. The number of Brazilians who believed they were in recession increased to 85% from 73% the previous quarter and from 55% from a year ago.
"In Brazil, the results reflect the uncertainty over the country's ability to increase growth rates in the short-term, return to more moderate inflation levels and avoid further unemployment increases," said Luis Arjona, country manager, Nielsen Brazil. "Concerned with the overall economic environment, Brazilian consumers have become more conservative with their disposable income, reducing out-of-home spending, while buying more on planned trips at grocery stores. They are also increasing the share of grocery spend at discount stores and reducing spend on impulse categories."
Consumer confidence increased in three of five countries measured in the Middle East/Africa region in the first quarter. At 115, the United Arab Emirates had the highest index in the region, an increase of one point from fourth-quarter 2014. Confidence also increased five points in Saudi Arabia to 107 and one point in Pakistan to 102. Conversely, confidence decreased one point in South Africa to 87 and remained steady in Egypt at 90.
In the region, sentiment about job prospects edged up one percentage point to 44%, while personal finances sentiment and immediate spending intentions remained flat at 60% and 39%, respectively, from fourth-quarter 2014. Job confidence improved most in Egypt, rising three percentage points to 43%, while the personal financial outlook and immediate spending intentions rose four and five percentage points, respectively, in Pakistan from fourth-quarter 2014.
Recessionary sentiment declined in three out of five Middle East/Africa markets: Egypt and South Africa each declined two percentage points to 79% and 70%, respectively, and Saudi Arabia declined one percentage point to 43%.
Regionally, quarter-on-quarter discretionary spending and saving intentions decreased or held steady for most lifestyle categories. Spending intentions for home entertainment expenses, buying new clothes and taking holidays/vacations declined, while intentions for putting money into savings accounts increased and the percentages for investing and saving for retirement were flat from the previous quarter.
Consumer confidence increased two index points in Nigeria in the first quarter to a score of 129—the highest score of the three countries measured in Nielsen's mobile survey for sub-Saharan Africa. Conversely, confidence decreased nine points in Kenya (104) and three points in Ghana (99) from fourth-quarter 2014.
The majority of respondents in the three countries (69% in Kenya, 67% in Ghana and 62% in Nigeria) said they did not have spare cash, a level that increased 10 percentage points in Kenya and one percentage point in Nigeria from fourth-quarter 2014. Among those who did claim discretionary funds, while saving continued to be a priority for the majority, intentions to put money into savings accounts declined 10 percentage points in Nigeria (76%), seven percentage points in Ghana (78%) and six percentage points in Kenya (83%) in the first quarter. Discretionary spending intentions for home improvement projects were the second-biggest priority among respondents in all three countries.
The Nielsen Global Survey of Consumer Confidence and Spending Intentions was conducted Feb. 23 – March 13, 2015 and polled more than 30,000 online consumers in 60 countries throughout Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East/Africa and North America. The sample has quotas based on age and sex for each country based on its Internet users and is weighted to be representative of Internet consumers. It has a margin of error of ±0.6%. This Nielsen survey is based only on the behavior of respondents with online access. Internet penetration rates vary by country. Nielsen uses a minimum reporting standard of 60% Internet penetration or an online population of 10 million for survey inclusion. The China Consumer Confidence Index is compiled from a separate mixed methodology survey among 3,500 respondents in China. The sub-Saharan African countries in this study are compiled from a separate mobile methodology survey among 1,600 respondents in Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria. The Nielsen Global Survey, which includes the Global Consumer Confidence Index, was established in 2005.

Meet the Henge Builders
Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2008 8:48 am
Stonehenge 1,000 yrs. older!? That would make it built ca 4,000 BC.?The view has changed little since Hawthorne's time, but my vision of Stonehenge today is very different. Artists, mystics, and scientists have contemplated the stones for centuries, calling them everything from a place to summon demons to the world's first computer. Hawthorne didn't find any answers here. It is, he wrote, "a mystery as to who built it, and how, and for what purpose." But now, as modern archaeology reaches beyond the stones, we are finding a ceremonial landscape as unique as the megaliths within it:
The remnants of mid-winter feasts at the nearby town of Durrington Walls show that the winter solstice may have been the important time for celebrations at Stonehenge.
Chemical analysis of bones from burials near Stonehenge reveal that people were immigrating to the area from the European continent.
New carbon-14 dates indicate that Stonehenge is 1,000 years older than archaeologists previously believed.
A wooden henge at Durrington Walls that has lead to the contorversial new idea that wood henges were associated with rituals for the living while Stonehenge was associated with rituals for the dead.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho officials have identified the United Airlines captain who died after suffering a mid-flight heart attack as 63-year-old Henry Skillern of Humble, Texas.
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho officials have identified the United Airlines captain who died after suffering a mid-flight heart attack as 63-year-old Henry Skillern of Humble, Texas.
Ada County Coroner Erwin Sonnenberg performed an autopsy on Skillern late Friday morning and confirmed that he died at a Boise hospital of a heart attack.
The captain was piloting United Flight 1603 from Houston to Seattle when the emergency occurred Thursday forcing an off-duty pilot to take over control of the plane. Two Madigan Army Medical Center doctors onboard performed CPR, according to Jay Ebbeson, a spokesman for the hospital at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
Ebberson says the two are captains and radiology residents who were returning to the base near Tacoma, Wash., from a medical course at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. They were unavailable Friday to talk about the incident, he said.
The plane made an emergency landing in Boise and Skillern was still alive when he was taken to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, but he died during treatment, spokeswoman Jennifer Krajnik said Friday.
The news lit up social media in the early morning hours Friday.
Passenger Ken Martin told Seattle TV station KOMO (http://bit.ly/19Fu3A4) a first-year resident doctor sitting next to him volunteered to help perform CPR. She told Martin the pilot appeared to weigh over 300 pounds and was taken into the first class cabin where CPR was performed.
Passenger Bryant Magill described a calm scene onboard.
"I'm really impressed with all the flight attendants," Magill told KOMO. "They kept themselves calm. They kept it professional. There was no panic on the plane."
United Airlines spokeswoman Christen David said another off-duty United Airlines pilot was onboard and helped land the plane. She declined to immediately release details of the situation.
"I am sad to confirm that our co-worker passed away last night. Our thoughts are with his family at this time," David said in an email.
Pilots are required to get medical certificates that show they don't have major heart problems, according to the Federal Aviation Administration website.
The flight landed safely about 8 p.m. local time and was met by paramedics who took the pilot to the hospital. The Boeing 737-900 had 161 passengers and a crew of six on board.
David says another pilot flew the plane and passengers to Sea-Tac Airport.

Israeli forces prevent Palestinian medical teams from entering blockaded areas
The Palestine Monitor
- September 28, 2017
Main News
Health Care
] [
Send by email:
Medical teams from the Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS) have been unable to reach the health clinics they run in the blockaded Jerusalem area, leaving residents with no access to healthcare. The Israeli army imposed a military lockdown on several villages following a shooting attack on Tuesday.
Official PA news agency Wafa reported that the blockade affected eight villages in addition to Beit Surik, the hometown of Nimr Mahmoud Ahmed Jamal, 37, who shot and killed two Israeli guards and a border policeman at the entrance of the settlement of Har Hadar on Tuesday. Jamal was also shot dead at the scene.
Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative and president of the Palestinian Medical Relief Society, said medical teams had been turned back by the Israeli army for two days in a row as they tried to reach the clinics.
"That includes doctors, nurses, technicians. And because of this, three clinics in Beddu, Beit Anan and Beit Dukko were left without services," Barghouti told Palestine Monitor.
"This means that thousands of people have been deprived from regular healthcare in the whole area," he said, adding that the clinics serve up to 40,000 people from nearby villages as well.
Dr. Faisal Abdullatif, a district supervisor with PMRS, said he tried to access the area to reach the clinic in Beddu on Tuesday and Wednesday, but was turned back.
"There were clashes and I was asked by the soldiers at the entrance to the village to go back. I told them I am a doctor but they said the area is closed," said Abdullatif. "Today one of the doctors was turned back from the entrance to Biddu. We decided to go by ambulance and we are now operating in the area," he explained.
According to Palestinian news agency Maan, Israeli forces also raided a hospital where seven Palestinians injured during clashes were being treated, while looking for them. It's unclear whether the seven were actually arrested.
It is not the first time Israeli forces raid hospitals or obstruct the work of medical teams. Last July, following protests over Israel's proposed new security measures at the Al Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem, Israeli forces violently raided the Al Maqassed hospital in East Jerusalem twice in a week. In some cases, doctors were prevented from providing emergency healthcare to some patients, according to an Amnesty International report.
"There can be no justification for preventing medical workers from caring for a critically wounded patient," Magdalena Mughrabi, Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International, stated at the time.
