Unfullfilled...

Image not related.

A man was recently granted a divorce by a Mumbai, India family court because he could no longer deal with his wife's "excessive and insatiable desire for sex."

We've heard of people divorcing over a sexless marriage, but divorcing over too much sex? 

According to The Times Of India, the sex-fatigued husband first approached the court in January, claiming that his wife was "aggressive, stubborn and autocratic" and that she'd be harassing him for sex since they married in April 2012.

The man told the court his wife forced medication on him to boast his sexual stamina and threatened to hook up with other men if she remained unfulfilled. 

Due to wife's non-appearance before the court, the husband's evidence remains unchallenged on record. 

This wife's desire must be fulfilled. Use different pills.

Corruption in Education??

 

The Chinese  government has banned "leading cadres" within the Communist party,  from signing up for costly business training unless they have official approval and pay full fees themselves.

Chinese officials are rushing to pull out after being banned from accepting scholarships as part of a widening anti-corruption campaign.

The decree will be a blow to China's booming business schools, where the cost of such part-time MBAs can be more than $100,000. In some schools, government officials were offered free enrolment to attract wealthy entrepreneurs seeking to build networks.

The head of one business school expressed dismay at the policy. He said all the officials who had enrolled as EMBA students had quit and that many executives from state companies, [20 per cent of the students] were likely to follow suit.

While full-time MBAs have always been the flagships of US business schools, in China these part-time EMBAs, is the degree of choice. However, in recent years some Chinese EMBA programs have been criticized for their high price tags and low quality.

A mission to save lives

A volunteer nurse, the first Briton known to have caught Ebola in West Africa, was flown back to the UK for treatment on August 24 after contracting the virus in Sierra Leone.

William Pooley has been discharged from hospital as he told how "very lucky" he is to have survived the deadly virus.

Mr. Pooley was being treated with the experimental drug ZMapp – the same medication credited with saving the lives of two American missionaries earlier last month.

He was on a mission to save lives. Just a thought

Looking Good

The car is the next frontier for using "smart" sensors to gather and crunch consumer data. The move is part of the escalating fight over who can use technology to make money from drivers -  "The user experience is an untapped opportunity that will crown the leader in this space.

  

General Motors is preparing to launch the world's first mass-produced cars with eye- and head-tracking technology that can tell whether drivers are distracted. It will tell how hard a driver is thinking by monitoring the dilation of the pupils, and combines facial information with sensors for vital signs such as blood alcohol levels and heart rate.  The technology raises significant privacy concerns over how is data stored and handled. 

While "Safety doesn't sell cars - sexy sells,"   a safer other drivers may be happy with that.  Drivers who like to check their email, text, or do their make-up at traffic lights, beware.

Front...!*

Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain withdrew their ambassadors from Qatar, saying it had broken promises to them about Gulf security.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE have accused Qatar of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood,  a terrorist organization, accused of destabilizing their close ally Egypt.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE are big supporters of Syrian rebels fighting President Bashar al-Assad, an ally of Iran.

In Libya, Qatar has backed some Islamist groups. UAE and Egypt had been involved in air strikes against Libyan Islamist groups.

In late 2011 Saudi Arabia pushed for Gulf Cooperation Council members to unite "as a single entity" in a bid to join the group of six monarchies into a united front against Iran and the instability caused by that year's Arab uprisings.

However, the GCC, which also includes Kuwait and Oman, appears more divided.

Add Israel, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iran to the mix and you can see where the money is coming from and the killing is going to.

John Kerry is going to the Middle East to create a front against ISIL, or looking for a needle in a haystack.            Just a thought.

Drink...

A woman eating at a Dickey’s Barbeque in South Jordan, Utah, remains in critical condition after she was poisoned from a cup of sweet tea.

Within seconds of tasting the drink 67-year-old Jan Harding’s mouth and throat started to burn. Jan spit out the tea, “I think I just drank acid.” reported.

Investigators said a Dickey’s employee mixed the chemical, “Clean Force Fryer Cleaner,” into the sweet tea drink thinking it was sugar; it has a similar appearance.
The cleaning product is sodium hydroxide, also known as lye, a caustic and dangerous chemical compound.

“It can cause pretty severe burns, potentially burn through the esophagus and cause some severe bleeding and internal injuries,” Dr. Spencer Smith said, who works in the emergency room at the U hospital.

Is this something that was stored improperly? Was it an accident? Was it intentional? We really don’t know,” South Jordan Officer Sam Winkler said. “That’s why our investigators are looking in on this case.”

I am suspicious. Just a thought.

Disruptive...

Walmart is making its long-awaited move into delivering primary care: The retailer has

a half-dozen primary care clinics across South Carolina and Texas, and plans to launch six more.  

The clinics will be staffed by nurse practitioners, in a partnership with QuadMed.

These new clinics are fully owned by the company and branded explicitly as one-stop shops for primary care.

The clinics will be open longer and later than competitors.

The company’s size and scale potential as a disruptive innovator in healthcare is essentially peerless.

The company’s move comes at an ideal time to capture consumers, millions of Americans are getting insurance coverage through Obamacare, and seeking new, convenient sources of care.
Walmart’s stressed that their clinics will be a low-cost alternative to traditional options: Walk-in visits will cost just $40.     Moreover, it charges $4 for a visit by an employee. What a bargain.

Atlantic City

Atlantic City may be known for its boardwalk, beaches and Miss America pageant, but more famous for its casinos.

Casino gambling was legalized in New Jersey in 1976, making it the second state to do so after Nevada. Two years later, Resorts International, Caesars, Bally's as well as nine other glitzy hotels opened up and helped make A.C. a destination for gamblers.

New Jersey gambling revenue hit its peak back in 2006 and has declined steadily since due to competition from nearby states, New York and Pennsylvania.

Revel will join three other hotels closing in 2014, the Atlantic Club, Caesars Showboat, and the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino. 

Labor Day may not be much of a holiday for several thousand workers of these Casinos while a major transformation from Gambling to a family fun is taking place.

Mirage...*

The Obama administration secretly gave its blessing to arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar, but evidence grew that Qatar was turning some of the weapons over to Islamic militants.

No evidence emerged linking the Qataris deal to the attack that killed four Americans diplomat in Benghazi.

The weapons and money from Qatar strengthened militant groups in Libya, allowing them to become a destabilizing force since the fall of the Qaddafi government.

The experience in Libya has taken on new urgency as the administration considers whether to play a direct role in arming rebels in Syria, where weapons are flowing in from Qatar and other countries.

So who is Moderate?   NON,   THEY ALL THE SAME.
Some speak English and SOME DON'T.

When they are captured, they cry their Human Rights, but when they have the upper hand, they slaughters the others.

The way I see it, the Assad is far moderate than the rest, unless you proof otherwise.

Foley and World Power's Course.

An American freelance journalist and photojournalist who was covering the Syrian Civil War when he was abducted on November 22, 2012. He is reportedly believed to be the first victim, with American citizenship of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (I.S.)

Foley was a teacher before he switched to journalism. In 2009 he worked on USAID-funded development projects in Iraq, and later became an embedded journalist with U.S. troops there. In 2011 he joined the U.S. military newspaper Stars and Stripes in Afghanistan. Later that year, working for GlobalPost in Libya, he was captured by forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi and held for 44 days. When captured in Syria the following year, he was working for Agence France-Presse and GlobalPost.

He wanted to show the world the truth of war through photos.But terrorist don't want to be exposed.

Because of him, the world realized how dangerous this group is and how wrong those who support this group are. Because of his work, short life, and death, the world's power have changed course.

May he rest in peace.
