Compares...

Sinead O'Connor recorded a song this song.  It made it to #1 on the charts in sixteen countries. Considered one of the best breakup songs.

It is a sad tale of depression that can follow after a tough split from the person you loved.

Every line of the song packs an emotional wallop. From the opening: "It's been seven hours and fifteen days, since you took your love away …"   It continues with a series of moods, from anguish, regret. through spitting anger, and finally to something close to resignation and acceptance. It is a lifetime's emotion magically condensed into four minutes.When Sinead cried in the video it was a real tear.  

What launched the song was the video. Most of it shows O'Connor's almost shaven head –  her eyes registering every line of the lyric. When she sings "all flowers in the backyard that you planted, mama, all died when you went away"  two tears run down her cheeks. Later it was said that this was because she was reminded of her mother.

Here is the song from the nineties.

Leaks...?

Another woman came forward accusing  Donald Trump of sexual misconduct, adding to a growing list of women.  She said she put her hand out to say hello, he grabbed her and started to kiss her on the lips. She said she pulled away.

Juanita Broaddrick has long accused Bill Clinton of raping her in 1978, and repeated those allegations in a tweet.  Aides to Hillary quickly moved to gather information to undermine her account. Hacked internal campaign emails were released by the group WikiLeaks.

More hacked emails released appear to show more about Hillary Clinton’s private, high-priced Wall Street speeches. That included her argument that Washington lawmakers would pass the Dodd-Frank banking reform law merely for “political reasons.”.... More to come from Wiki....

The Media and the commentators are having a great time and profit with all the stories of the back and forth. But the future of the Country, the people and what to come seems to be undetermined by these two.   Just a thought.

Repeated ?

The Navy, quickly, retaliated for missiles fired at its ships off the coast of Yemen by destroying three radar sites, the retaliation is approved by President Obama. 

The sites, in territory controlled by Shiite rebels known as Houthis on the Yemen's Red Sea coast, appear to have been destroyed.

Yemen's Saba news agency, which is controlled by the Houthis, quoted a military official denying that the rebels targeted a U.S. ship.  Spokesman for the Yemeni army, called the incident an “American farce to find a reason to interfere in Yemen directly after failure of the Saudis," the AP reported.

The U.S. has been providing logistical support and refueling to the Saudi-led coalition against the Houthis.

The launches of missiles at U.S. ships followed the bombing of a funeral hall in the Yemeni capital Sanaa apparently by forces from the Saudi-led coalition killed at least 140 people. Sanaa is controlled by the Houthis.

Human Rights Watch, a  U.S.-based organization, said the bombing was an apparent war crime and called on the United States, the United Kingdom and other governments to immediately suspend arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

Do the Houthis speak English?   did they know these ship belongs to USA? Where are the Saudi Ships in the area?     Just a thought.

Truman...

This is in relation to Trump's recorded talk about women few years earlier, which is considered unacceptable. Later it was referred to as Locker Room Talk.

The Dance..

Dan Richman missed the "do not disturb" sign. The 54-year-old hiker interrupted a pair of bears that were trying to mate. 

He was going along a trail when he saw a bear on its hind legs 50 to 100 feet away. It was his first time seeing a bear in person. "I was pretty freaked out," he tells KTLA.

Richman turned around to leave and saw a second bear much closer. His attempt to scare it off by yelling failed, and it attacked when he tried to run by it. Richman played dead, as he was close to.

He ran off, not realizing how injured he was until he reached safety. He had a head injury and multiple cuts to his head, legs, feet, and torso. 

Well then, don't ever surprise whoever it is during their dance, it may have a deadly consequences.  Just a thought.

Board-Room.

Discretion...

Bleak...?

A Syrian man wanted for allegedly preparing a bombing attack was apprehended by three of his countrymen. This ended a nationwide search for the 22-year-old that German authorities launched after finding several pounds of explosives hidden inside an apartment in the eastern city of Chemnitz.

The terrorist arrived in Germany amid a flood of 890,000 asylum seekers last year.

A security official said there was no indication yet that Albakr was being directed by the Islamic State group.    A 33-year-old Syrian arrested and is considered a co-conspirator in the alleged bomb plot, prosecutors said.

The incident comes amid ongoing concerns about the flood of asylum seekers that entered Germany and increasing support for populist parties with anti-migrant rhetoric.

The country also has been on edge since two attacks in July carried out by asylum seekers and claimed by the Islamic State group.

Millions of Syrians fled the war to the neighboring countries in the worst humanitarian disaster in recent history. Many want to stay home, providing that we help stabilize the country.     It is very hard for the migrant and their families to adjust in the western world.  The vast differences in social, economics, religions, and personal standards make it very difficult to adjust.

Can we help stabilize Syria?

Us vs. Them

The U.S. health system is the most expensive in the world, but comparative analyses consistently show the United States underperforms relative to other countries on most dimensions of performance.

Among the seven nations studied Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States the U.S. ranks last overall, as it did in the 2007, 2006, and 2004 editions of Mirror, Mirror. 

But even when access and equity measures are not considered, the U.S. ranks behind most of the other countries on most measures. With the inclusion of primary care physician survey data in the analysis, it is apparent that the U.S. is lagging in adoption of national policies that promote primary care, quality improvement, and information technology. 

The other six countries spend considerably less on health care per person and as a percent of gross domestic product than does the United States. These findings indicate that, from the perspectives of both physicians and patients, the U.S. health care system could do much better in achieving value for the nation's substantial investment in health.

Quality,  Access,  Efficiency,  Equity, Long, healthy, and productive lives: The U.S. ranks last overall with poor scores on all three indicators of long, healthy, and productive lives.  Just a thought.
