Really Rich, or Faking it?

Submitted by ub on

How do we tell the difference between someone who claims to be wealthy and someone who is truly and really wealthy? It is as easy as 1-2-3. Also, they are not all HEROES, some are also SHEROES.

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES

Submitted by ub on

The first Hilary Clinton-Donald Trump debate falls on Monday, September 26.

By an interesting coincidence, it is the 56th anniversary of the first televised debate of a presidential election in American history. On September 26, 1960, a relatively unknown American senator from Massachusetts confronted the vice president of the United States under President Eisenhower, Richard Nixon of California.

SLOW FASTING

Submitted by ub on

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.

Four Seasons

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.

CIVIL WRONGS

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.

DIGITAL KNOWLEDGE

A new publication discusses the role of technology in sharing and preserving Indigenous Knowledge for future generations.

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.

Meanwhile, CC top insists he knows 'nothing'. Will Humpty dumpty fall off The Donald's wall?
