Money Money Money..... Inflation

Many expect ECB to signal "private QE" — purchases of securitized loans to small and medium enterprises, in order to stimulate the EU economy.

The central bank buy short-term government bonds to lower short-term interest rates.  Then purchase assets of longer maturity thereby lowering longer-term interest rates. Quantitative easing raises the prices of financial assets bought, (Demand) which lowers their yield.

QE used to ensure that inflation does not fall below target (Deflation). Risks include  higher inflation in the longer term.

The USA Fed's "quantitative easing program" has, among other things, lifted stock prices, increased tax revenue, lowered interest rates, unemployment, and improved the housing market.   Now the fed is gradually reducing its QE buying purchases.

The ECB and Japan started their easing much later than the US for a reason. Had they all started in the same time, the velocity of money would be unimaginable resulting in  inflation, inequality, higher prices beyond belief.

So watch for the coming year for the higher prices on everything cheep.

Flying...!

A  middle-aged woman (not her fault), wearing a platinum blonde wig, a blue dress, and thong- (sandals), threw a shoe, at former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton.
The woman walked away from the stage with her hands in the air.

From the speed of the black and orange shoe thrown, Hilary questioned "Was that a bat...
Michelle earnest appeared to be in “an agitated state” but aware of what she had done, 
and was released on her own recognizance.

One thinks Michelle has an Arab background, daring to throw one shoe away like that. Now she is stock with one half of the pair of a shoe at home to use for throwing in the future. 
Why is she getting red of her shoes while it cost an arm and a leg? No body knows.

Why can't we be sophisticated like the Brits. They use a $10 pie to shove it in one's face.  Or    Russians women who gave everything, the shirts, undershirts and other items, off their backs, to the church and demonstrated Nude.
That is class, no throwing shoes and no yelling.

In Vegas, Hillary got the George Bush treatment. Bush dodged two shoes [One pair size 12] thrown at him while Hilary dodged only one.   Great difference here.       Just a thought.

Free at Last...

Jonathan Fleming, hugs his attorney Anthony Mayol while his other attorney Taylor Koss applaud in Brooklyn's Supreme court, after a judge declared him a free man.

Fleming, who spent almost a quarter-century behind bars for murder, was cleared of a killing that happened in 1989. 

We're suing everybody, let's be honest," Koss added, saying Fleming's legal team intends to bring a civil rights lawsuit against the city and seek reparations from the state under a provision set up to redress wrongful convictions.   Free at last.

Give me all,....

Give and take is the core principle of a successful marriage.  

Giving and taking encompasses the whole of a marriage, from household chores to intimacy. One can't do all the taking or the giving. One can't give a little to get a lot.

Children create new relationships that needs parents to give more and more.  If you ran out of giving, go out, get something to give some more.

Marriage needs a lot of work, a lot to give until you can take something. The "give" part is upfront, immediate, and sizeable, while the take is down the road. 

Give and take is a sensitive balance and should be rebalanced frequently depending on the social changes.

Many think that a bird in a hand is worth two in the bush. The question is Worth to Whom?

what to give and how much.

Here is John Legend's song   You give me all of you ....

In Ur Face..Obama Care's Benefits

The White House met its original sign-up target for the Affordable Care Act, a victory for the Obama administration after a rocky rollout of the program. Here it is

Young adults get coverage staying on their parents' insurance plans until age 26.

 

Americans no longer have Lifetime expense caps

 

Medicare Part D no longer have the "Doughnut hole" coverage gap.

 

Small businesses able to provide health insurance to their employees.

Low-income adults will have Access to health insurance 
 

Obama care provision eliminates pre-existing conditions. 
 

Medicare benefits can neither be reduced nor taken away.
 

New requirements that insurance companies must spend at least 80% of our premium dollars on our health care as opposed to marketing or administration.

This program is a life long legacy for Obama. It is compared to Social Security and Medicare programs to complete a safety net for all Americans.

Republicans have waged a campaign to repeal or roll back the Affordable Care Act.

I don't care if this cause Healthcare Insurance, Hospitals, Diagnostic centers, Pharmaceutical companies, etc to make 10 % less profit. Wake me up when they make 20 % less.  They still overcharging the public.

Fired...!

Jennifer Mitts has been a high school teacher for over a decade, at Red Bank HS in Red Bank, Tennessee. However, she is now out of a job for an action many consider to be noble.

So what did Ms. Mitts do? She brought her 20-year-old student to an emergency room and then covered the cost of her medical treatment. As to what the treatment was, there is no word, but when school officials learned about it, they weren’t happy.

Hamilton County human resources says that this wasn’t the first time she had paid for a student’s medical bills and that she had already been asked to cease doing it.

 "Ms. Mitts was officially warned in writing back not to take students from campus in her car without permission," school rep said.

The student body and residents of Red Bank seem to be siding with the teacher. Many are showing sympathy towards Ms. Mitts and the incident with the high school.

Mitts has 400 signatures on a petition to reinstate her, and is planning to file a lawsuit against the school board. 

Parent Ashley Gonzales put it succinctly, “Honestly if it was my child and we couldn't afford it out of pocket, I hope there would be somebody that would do that for us.

So what was the problem. ?? Many.           Just a thought.

Mudslide.... Who knew what??

At least 25 people are known to have died when a rain-soaked hillside collapsed without warning, unleashing a wall of mud that engulfed dozens of homes in a river valley near the rural town of Oso, Seattle. Many are still missing five days after the mudslide. 

Numerous reports dating back to the 1950s have warned that the hillside, that collapsed,  is subject to failure. Indeed, the very same portion of hillside outside Oso, has slid into the Stillaguamish River numerous times since the 1950s.

Daniel Miller, a geomorph­ologist, has studied the area and reported to the US Army Corps of Engineers. He warned of “large catastrophic failure.”

The resident weren't aware of the danger they are living in of this particular location.

Many dangers are around us, known to some but the public is unaware of. Hope that the outcomes are not as grim as the mudslide. God Help us all.

...then Bam !!!

A nefarious 22-year-old newlywed who shoved her husband of eight days off a majestic Montana cliff was sentenced to 30 years in prison for her grisly crime.

Jordan Linn Graham claimed still to love Johnson and apologized for the pain she had caused. "It was a moment of complete shock and panic," Graham said of the events surrounding Johnson's death. "I have no other explanation.

She wanted to confront her husband about her marriage doubts but did not know how he would take it. She said the couple climbed down a treacherous slope below a popular spot in the park called the Loop and spoke on a narrow ledge, hundreds of feet above a ravine.

Prosecutors said she drove away from the murder scene without checking whether Johnson had survived the fall. 

Dozens of text messages between Graham and a friend from church that documented how Graham's nervous excitement at the prospect of the wedding turned into despair over the week that followed.

What did he do over these few days of marriage???

MH-370 Investigation-Australian Style

Royal Australian Air Force pilot Flight Lieutenant Russell Adams 

 

Australia is coordinating the search operation of MH370. Many Nations are involved including Japan, China, Korea, Canada, New Zealand, USA, Britain, France and others.

 

The need to find the air craft is crucial for many reason. Knowing the cause is important for manufacturers and the whole world.  The cost of this operation may reach  Billions of  Dollars.

A Malaysian Airline counselor said we're assisting the families to the best of our abilities but the families want one thing that we can't give them.

May be the Australian can give them the answer. Listen to these Comments from Australian officials on the search

Tony Abbott Australia's Prime Minister said
We owe it to the grieving families of the 239 people on board,
we owe it to the anxious governments of all of the countries that have people on board that aircraft,
we owe it in particular to the Malaysians who are our friends and partners in so many regional ways,
we owe it to all of them to do whatever we reasonably can to get to the bottom of this mystery,”

Australian ambassador "Will search for the Aircraft until hell freezes over"
The Australian showed tremendous leadership and compassion by the politicians and the Searchers themselves.

Australia's influence and participation command respect.

A Haystack...MH370

Malaysia’s Prime Minister said "with deep sadness and regret, the MH 370 plane ended its journey in the Indian Ocean......"

One large objectwas photographed by Australian and Chinese satellites. French satellite pictures show possible debris from the missing Boeing 777, photographed in broadly the same area of the Indian Ocean.

A marker buoy was dropped at the site.   The air search is being supported by several ships in the area.

"We are not searching for a needle in a haystack but still trying to define where the haystack is" said Mark Binskin, the Vice Chief of Australia's Defense.

It is going to take more time, unknown amount of time. 

While the Malaysian Gov. and airline doing their best, it is time for the passengers' families to go home.  Say a prayer, wait for news, help with volunteer work, get support of the rest of their families and friends for a better emotional support.

It has been a terrible roller coaster of emotions.
I'll say a prayer for some good news.
