Alberto Aguilera Valadez was better known by his stage name Juan Gabriel, or Juanga to his loved ones. He was a Mexican singer and popular songwriter.

Fans paid their final respects to music legend JUAN GABRIEL. There was a special concert planned with his friends, but sadly Jaunga never realized his dream.

Congress Inaction

Submitted by ub on

The US Congress is supposed to be back in action today, but don't hold your breath for many actions.

This is one of the reasons why voters should also be cleaning The House and The Senate on election day.

With weeks away from the danger of another government shutdown, the Republican leaders are not leading much.

The seven-week vacation should indicate to most intelligent Americans that a change has got to come from the top and all the way down to local government fat cats who say but do not do anything for the people they are sworn to represent and protect.

The actor was 91 when he died peacefully in his Beverly Hills home. The exceedingly handsome, muscular O'Brian TV star reigned for 221 episodes from 1955-61. At the time he was one of America's great sex symbols.

63 Days of Separation

Submitted by ub on

Sixty-three degrees of separation is the theory that everyone and everything is now down to sixty-three steps away from polling day. Register and vote to keep the democracy on track. CITY IMAGES invites all of you, whether you're a democrat, republican, an independent like me or any other party.

#TRUMPTAXES Remember, with as few as 63 days to #Elections2016 & GOP's Trump is now the only candidate for decades to hide his tax returns from voters. Why is he hiding, and what the art of the deal?

THE DEATH OF NEWS

Reflections of a Grade B Reporter

Since being offered the post of Grade B Reporter by the BBC in 1964, Martin Bell has spent more than half a century in the unquiet corners of the world, including four years in the surrogate war zone of the House of Commons.

It has been a period of rapid change in the way that wars have been fought and perceived, and of equally rapid change in the way that news has been gathered and presented. From Vietnam to Bosnia and beyond, the former BBC correspondent has been in the thick of it.

SAINT OF THE GUTTERS

Submitted by ub on

Her face is one of the most recognizable in the world and many recognize the "Angel of Mercy" image while never realizing what she was doing was good for so many people and is still revered by millions today. She has been called saint of the gutters and The Pope, as bishop of the slums.

My late father, who died around the same time as Mother Teresa did 19 years ago used to say he admired three women during his lifetime. His mom, Maria Teresa, my mom Margarita and Mother Teresa. Although these three special ladies have passed, they will never be forgotten.

Stress-Free Flying

Submitted by ub on

Do you know the Secrets of Stress-Free Flying and searching tricky travel sites for best prices? JetBlue, Southwest, Virgin America, and Alaska Airlines got top Economy Flyer Rating, first class passengers, but not overly impressed with United Airlines and American Airlines.

There’s not much to enjoy about airline travel these days, economy seats are cramped, flights are packed, and passengers pay an ever-expanding number of fees for things that used to be free, says Consumer Reports in its latest investigation and airline rating survey.

OUR CLOTHES

The clothing of the future could cool off our bodies, thanks to plastic wrap? Stanford University scientists have invented a material that actively draws heat away from the body, hoping that its cooling effect could reduce reliance on devices such as air-conditioning.

Researchers in California have invented a fabric that would actively cool our bodies, were it woven into clothing, potentially reducing our reliance on energy-thirsty devices that cool our buildings and vehicles.

Help Me, I'm Angry

Submitted by Admin on

I received an email and a phone call from two angry people who claimed they wanted to talk, but did not want to listen to the voice of reason. I always thought that a true conversation was a two-way communication and not a monolog.

I get it, at one time or another, everyone feels anger bubbling up. There's nothing wrong with that. Anger is common. It's a normal response when you sense a threat or a possible slight. I tried to address their concerns, but to no avail. So to them and all who feel angry.
