Georgina Callander- One of the victims in Manchester Bombing.

Hellish...**

Image result for angry woman with shot gun
Image is not related. This woman didn't kill the husband as far as I know.
The couple had been married since 1996 and have three girls.!!!
She got caught in a swindle [$17,000] known as the "Nigerian scam".!!!
She and her husband (a minister) had been arguing about family finances. She admitted some of the problems were "her fault." !!!

She did not remember getting the gun. She heard a loud boom. Matthew Winkler was shot in the back as he lay in bed. !!!
He rolled onto the floor, still alive, asked his wife, "Why?" 
When she left home, Matthew Winkler was still alive. The phone had been disconnected from its socket.   !!!

She told a jury that her husband often "berated" her and forced her to wear "slutty" costumes for sex. Jurors were shown a pair of tall, platform shoes and a black wig Winkler said she was pressured to wear during sex....!!!

She was sentenced to 210 days in prison for voluntary manslaughter. !!!  
Had three girls with him, placed him in debt, lived beyond her means, and ruin her husband's life and reputation, then killed him.   Ugly Character.         Just a thought.   

Structure...*



Workers at a Volkswagen factory in Tennessee have voted against union representation, a devastating loss that derails the United Auto Workers union's effort to organize Southern factories and in reality to the workers themselves.

VW understands how having a union can boost productivity and allow it greater flexibility in adjusting to downturns. It should know: The rest of its plants are unionized.

The idea is to create a "works council," which are widespread across Europe and enjoy tremendous influence over how plants are run. 

German works councils helped the company reduce hours across the board rather than laying people off, containing unemployment until the economy recovered.

So while the vote was no, the structure is Yes, a lesson to learn from Europe. Just a thought.

Prices...*



Medicine prices in the United States are the highest in the world. This is why the pharmaceutical industry is the most profitable of all businesses in the U.S.  Pharmaceutical companies argue that the prices are necessary to continue to fund research.

Critics {Me included} point out that only a small portion of the drug companies' expenditures are used for R & D, with the majority spent in the areas of marketing and administration.

Pfizer (as patent expires) is planning to buy Astra Zeneca for $119 Billion for a reason. The Brand name medications and R&D is worth that much in US high prices.

U.S. Customs estimates 10 million U.S. citizens bring in medications at land borders each year or online pharmacies. Yet this is not Legal.

The Law must be changed to allow persons or organization to import medicine (Approved in USA) freely from Canada, Britain, etc. So US citizen pay what the Canadian or British pay for the same medicines.  That is Free Market Prices.  
Just a [Free Market] thought.

Shoes...*



Vincent bought these workman’s boots at a flea market, intending to use them in a still life. Finding them still a little too smart, however, he wore them on a long and rainy walk. Only then were they fit to be painted.

To him they may have been symbolic of the hard yet picturesque life of the laborer and reference to Van Gogh’s difficult passage through life.

In the desert, the shoes cost a lot, wear off badly and quickly. Showing the sole of your shoe to someone in the Arab world is a sign of extreme disrespect. Throwing your shoe is even worse." 

In Egypt, a Syrian throw his shoe at Ahmadinejad, after an affectionate welcome from Egypt's Islamist president. Earlier, an Iraqi journalist throw his shoes at George Bush.

What a painting.       Just an [expressionist's] thought.

the Support...*


John Booker Jr. struck others as strange or even troubled but also as a young man not shy about discussing his faith or debating Islamic philosophy at the mosque.

But the 20-year-old Topeka resident told a confidante informant that he wasn't liked at his mosque because he expressed support for the terrorist group al-Qaida. The cleric said the FBI brought Booker to the mosque and sought counseling to turn him from views behind Facebook postings about plans to die in a jihad.

He was arrested trying to arm a 1,000-pound bomb outside Fort Riley.
Prosecutor charged Alexander Blair, 28, with failing to report Booker's plans to authorities.  He loaned Booker money to rent space to build and store a bomb.         
Remove the support. Just a thought.            [Posted 4/11/2014]

Libyan authorities had been following Hashem Abedi, the Manchester suspect’s brother, for a month and a half because of suspected links to ISIS, said Ahmed Dagdoug, Libya’s counterterror forces.

The two brothers were close, and Salman placed a call to Hashem, as well as their mother, 30 minutes before carrying out the attack.
On Tuesday, that brother was detained in Libya. During interrogation, he revealed that he knew his brother was going to carry out an attack, but he did not know where or when.
  
Salman Abedi's father [A refugee from Libya] was also arrested in Libya.  
Dagdoug told ABC News that the two brothers do consider themselves members of ISIS and said that they had been studying ISIS videos online, including instructional videos that teach the viewer how to make a bomb.

The Libyan Asylum man and his family are safe in Manchester, Englandand now start plotting against the British people who let them in. His son killed and injured many...Go Figure...
