Dream...*

The children of a real-estate agent setting up for an open house over the weekend found a naked couple in one of the bedrooms.
A 22-year-old woman and 17-year-old boy ran from the home after the elementary school age children ran to their father, who also saw the two people on the floor, according to a police report. 

Briana Moore, of Helena, Mont., is accused of felony burglary and misdemeanor criminal mischief in connection with the break-in of the vacant home. Moore told police that her companion, whose name was not released because he is being charged as a juvenile, kicked in the rear door of the home to get inside, according to charging documents.

The door was kicked in and split down the middle, the real-estate agent's lockbox was damaged and a window screen was torn, the documents said. The damage was estimated to be less than $1.500.

I think that the charges are exaggerated, and the back door is of poor quality. 
But one can dream of a good life.          Just a thought.

Blame...

Image result for one person with many enemies


Russia's ambassador to Turkey was assassinated at an Ankara art exhibit by a lone Turkish gunman.    There was no immediate confirmation about the gunman's motives or possible affiliations but several groups in the region feel powerful animosity toward Russia, Turkey and a host of other countries.
In neighboring Syria and throughout the Muslim world, people are outraged at Russia for helping the Syrian Government's attack on Aleppo.
Another enemy of both Russia and Turkey is ISIS. The two countries have cooperated in fits and starts over the last year against the cult-like terror group, which controls whole swaths of Syria. ISIS has carried out a wave of murderous bombings in Turkey this year.
Turkey also has fought a long-running, low-level domestic war against elements of its Kurdish population, which lives primarily in Turkey's east.
Turkey's President was at first enraged with Russia when it entered the war, and Turkey shot down a Russian warplane over its airspace in June.
But he made a turnaround with Russia almost immediately after the coup attempt. On the night of the coup, Russia tipped off Erdogan about unusual movements among Turkish military units potentially saving the Turkish president's life.

More to this story.....  All are involved, all are responsible for what happened in Syria. All to be blamed for the death of many.... I mean all.     Just a thought.

Ironic Huh...*

A Kentucky pastor who starred in a reality show about snake-handling in church has died -- of a snakebite.

Snake-handling preacher Jamie Coots, who never backed away from his beliefs despite derision, criminal charges and excruciating bites, died Saturday night after being bitten by a rattlesnake during a church service.

Coots was charged about six years ago with illegally buying and selling snakes and fined more than $6,000. Last year, he was charged in Tennessee with transporting poisonous snakes he had bought in Alabama.

"To me that's what God taught me to be about," he said. "I'm not telling people to handle snakes."
I don't think that violating the law, make snakes a church signature and focus are  the right direction.

Comment: I am not judging no one but sorry for what happened. Just a thought.

Good Luck...*

Concept: You are the one who is giving the instruction to how the money being invested. So be careful of what you say.

Risk. Being young doesn't necessary mean that your risk tolerance should be much higher than some one much older.

Cycle. The cycle of economical activities is important. The start, middle and the end.
Fees. The fees that you pay may be problematic depending where you invest in.

What will they do for you and how often. If it is just the initial discussion, look for alternative.

Monthly Review. Compare your performance to the broad market and adjust.

Don't just accept a computer program managing your money. 
Don't just leave your money completely to others.
Don't just leave it as is for years
The market is not static and so is your views.   Just a thought.

Exhausted...?*

Image result for Hanna Bouveng

A young Swedish woman who sued her former Wall Street executive boss over lurid allegations of sexual conquest, betrayal and stalking was awarded $18 million by a federal jury.

Hanna Bouveng, 25, accused Benjamin Wey, a Chinese-born American Wall Street financier, and CEO of New York Global Group, in an $850 million lawsuit of using his power as owner of the Group to coerce her into four sexual encounters before firing her after discovering she had a boyfriend.

Bouveng, who was raised in Sweden, testified that soon after Wey hired her, the CEO began a relentless quest to have sex with her. She says he fired her six months later after she refused any more sexual contact and he found a man in her bed in the apartment he helped finance.
Wey, 43, also sought to defame Bouveng by posting articles on his blog accusing her of being a "street walker," a "loose woman" and an extortionist, her lawyers say.

Wey walked into a Stockholm cafe in April 2014 where she was working a few months after she was fired from Global Group, her attorney told jurors. "The message was: 'Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I am going to find you and I am going to get you," Ratner said.

The married financier denied ever having sex with Bouveng. He portrayed her as an opportunist. Wey testified that Bouveng knew nothing about finance before he hired and began mentoring her. She betrayed his generosity by embracing a party-girl lifestyle that left her too exhausted to succeed.  Apparently she did... Just a thought.

The Kids...*

Image result for life insurance skipped paying

When you take out a life insurance policy, you pay premiums in the expectation that when you die your spouse or your children will receive the benefit. But audits of the nation's leading insurance companies have uncovered a systematic, industry-wide practice of not paying significant numbers of beneficiaries.

The beneficiary never comes forward because he or she doesn't know the policy exists.
But the companies know, says Kevin McCarty, the insurance commissioner of Florida, who led the national task force investigating the industry.

The companies don't pay, he says, unless a beneficiary makes a claim.  Companies have actual knowledge in their files that people have died, yet they have neglected to initiate an investigation and pay the claim.

In a little-known series of settlements, 25 of the nation's biggest life insurance companies have agreed to pay more than $7.5 billion in back-death benefits. However, about 35 insurance companies have not settled and remain under investigation for not paying when the beneficiary is unaware there was a policy, something that is not at all uncommon.

You can't scam the Insurance companies, but the Insurance companies may be able to.
 Just a thought.

Refaeli...*

Israel's tax authority says international supermodel Bar Refaeli and her mother are suspected of tax evasion for allegedly not reporting millions of dollars in income earned abroad and on luxury items.
The authority said Refaeli didn't report the free Range Rover and Lexus cars she received from car companies in exchange for published photos of herself with the cars. It also says Refaeli did not pay taxes on a luxury apartment in Tel Aviv, where she lives.

That is too bad, but don't act as if you didn't see a beautiful one before? 

Hacked..?
