A good friend of ours was mentioning that it felt like their employer was expecting them to work all hours of the day and night. Apparently, this is turning out to be thew new norm. Could this be the demise of 9 to 5?

1 in 4 check on work during activities with family and friends; Men more likely to be tied to the office
Do you know anyone who has butt dialed someone else without realizing it? Anyone who "pocket-dials" a third party during a conversation does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy, the Sixth Circuit ruled. Beware of butt dialing blunders.
That person at the top of your contact list is the one most likely to get an unintended call from your very own butt, which may have a mind of its own.

IDNYC is a free identification card for all New York City residents, which allows the opportunity to get a government-issued photo identification card, and secures the peace of mind and access to City services that come from having recognized identification.
IDNYC cardholders have access to services and programs offered by the City as well as by businesses. IDNYC helps enhance public safety, by serving as a recognized ID for interacting with NYPD. It also helps New Yorkers gain access to all City buildings that provide services to the public and is accepted as a form of identification for accessing numerous City programs and services.
IDNYC also provides a dynamic series of benefits to cardholders, including a free one-year membership at many of the City's leading museums, zoos, concert halls, and botanical gardens.
City Images went today and were processed, with no problem and everyone was organized and helpful with the services.
The US Mexico border was the latest place where the outrageous and infamous Donald predicted Hispanics would love him because as president he'd grab jobs back from overseas and give more opportunity to those who live in the U.S. legally. City Images spoke with Josue Rivera, a Hispanic veteran, who said Trumps remarks are insulting and wondered who would be nuts enough to vote for him.
Trump's in-and-out border visit came as he continued to dominate the GOP presidential race. Some political pundits are predicting the outcome of this populism billionaire candidate's camp pain could turn out to be another like Ralph Nader, or Ross Perot.

An informed electorate lies at the heart of our democracy. So why is the Democratic National Committee limiting debates between the 2016 Democratic presidential candidates? What are they trying to hide, or who do they want to protect?
The Democratic party has announced six debates, and has gone even further, introducing an exclusivity clause which disqualifies from the debates any candidate that participates in additional, unsanctioned candidate forums. In 2008, the Democratic candidates debated 26 times during the political primaries.
These letters often stray from the rule to avoid politics and religion but they rarely venture into the
latter realm. However, one of the major stories of the just concluded second quarter was the papal
encyclical admonishing humanity for turning the earth, God’s creation, into “an immense pile of
filth.” In Laudato Si’ – Our Care For Our Common Home, Pope Francis is asking us to see our
world more like his namesake St. Francis of Assisi who viewed all of the earth’s plants, animals
NASA has captured an image of Earth that you must get to know up close and personal. A NASA camera on the Deep Space Climate Observatory satellite has returned its first view of the entire sunlit side of Earth from one million miles away.
