Is it a good practice to slowly abstain from food or drink, and eat nothing, refrain from meals, go without nourishment, go hungry, starve oneself? It really depends on who you ask, the length of time, your desired outcome, and the purpose.
Recently, I had gall bladder surgery and was forced to stop eating certain foods and then I had to stop eating altogether for tests and then for the surgery. The outcome was that I lost 30 pounds.
Say goodbye to Summer and welcome Autumn-Fall weather. The trees changing colors, while the leaves keep falling.
So long, or should we say so short It's the last day of summer, and as usual, it went by too quickly. It has been the hottest summer on record, both climatologically and politically.

Rookie wrongs lead to civil wrongs. The decission of placing the least experienced police officers into the most dangerous neighborhoods should be reconsidered.
Unfortunately, it is a time-honored practice that has tragic consequences, both for the young cops and for the people they are sworn to protect and for the inexperienced young cops.
Veterans with seniority rights move to the relative safe neighborhoods while their newer counterparts face the brunt of battle. It has happened once again in Oklahoma and then in N. Carolina.

Christie knew all about 'Bridgegate', according to prosecutors who say they will prove it. The over wait and see overweight fat cat apparently knew in advance about a plan to shut down George Washington Bridge lanes as an act of political retribution say, prosecutors.

Digital fragmentation is shaping the way we produce and consume news. This, according to a study conducted by Ricardo Gandour.

It is all about respect and admiration. You must also avoid:
Choosing the wrong partner. A lot of people choose somebody for the wrong reasons. Have a solid foundation in the relationship so that the partnership can continue when some of the other factors start to erode.
Lack of communication. It's important to resolve disagreements immediately and not allow resentment to build. Take time to right any wrongs and never go to bed angry with each other.

This has been an extreme and often disgusting political camp pain. Now the home stretch is finally here for US registered voters as we approach 50 days, which could become filthy before we cast our and follow our consciences.
After more than a year of an unusually toxic and dangerous period, could it all come down to a survival between white only, or in living color? Much can happen in the final fifty days.
