Hands On...*

Gretchen Carlson, 50, an anchor at Fox News Channel for more than a decade claims that her hands-on boss, chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, 76, fired her because she refused to sleep with him but lavished lucrative attention on other women in the newsroom "who did not complain about harassment or rebuff his sexual advances."

Ailes said "This is a retaliatory suit for the network’s decision not to renew her contract, which was due to the fact that her disappointingly low ratings were dragging down the afternoon lineup".
When Fox News did not commence any negotiations to renew her contract, Ms. Carlson conveniently began to pursue a lawsuit.

Six women who crossed paths with Roger Ailes during the Fox News CEO’s rise to the top of conservative media have shared vile tales of the honcho demanding sex in exchange for career success.

Sexual favors doesn't build careers in the media, rating does.  High or low rating will clearly flush out any sexual harassment in the work place as it did.  And on the other hand, sexual favors or pressures at work will destroy powerful people.     ....  Just a thought.

Pretense...*

In November 2015, British Judge Roger Dutton sentenced a 25-year-old woman, Gayle Newland, to eight years in prison for pretending to be a man to have sex with an unnamed woman.

Newland has made her female victim believe that she was a man by means of deception and used the deception in order to have sex with her on more than 10 occasions. Newland's victim was shocked to discover that her "boyfriend" was in reality a female, and testified in Court to a jury that she would have preferred to have been raped by a man. 

Newland described her alleged victim as being "very Sexual" and denied she had ever told her to wear a blindfold when they met. She said about her friend " she was always quite sexual. I wasn't expecting us to do anything at all". "Newland wanted me to touch her. She was the one who told me to go online and buy the strap-on." Sobbing in the dock, Newland told her lawyer that she is" in Love"
 

Isn't the voice, the touch, the feel of a man you are intimate with differs?   Seriously?    Just a thought.

British Prime Minister Theresa May called for a "much more robust approach to dealing with extremism" after Saturday's terrorist attack in London that killed seven people and injured dozens more.

Twelve people have been arrested in connection with the attack, police said. Authorities are now trying to "piece together exactly what occurred" and learn more about the attackers, Metropolitan Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said. Of the 12, seven were women, police said, adding that 11 of the arrests happened at a single address. 

Saturday’s deadly attack marked Britain’s third such incident since March.
It comes in the wake of a suicide bombing outside an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester May 22 that killed 22.
A separate vehicle-ramming attack in March on Westminster Bridge left four dead, including the suspect.    
Some of these killers were naturalized.

Homicide detectives are investigating the death of a woman who suffered a medical emergency and died during a cosmetic procedure at a clinic in south Florida.  30-year-old Lattia Baumeister received the procedure at Seduction by Jardon's Medical Center in Doral. 

A violation notice has been posted on the clinic's door, stating it's closed.
Baumeister is the third out-of-state woman in just over a year to die after traveling to the Miami area to undergo plastic surgery.

On March 25, 25-year-old Ranika Hall, of Kansas City, Missouri, died after she received a Brazilian butt lift procedure at Eres Plastic Surgery in Hialeah, Florida. In May 2016, 29-year-old Heather Meadows, of West Virginia, died after she received cosmetic surgery at the same Hialeah medical center operating under another name.  Just a thought.

Valeant Again...*

Former Valeant CEO Michael Pearson unloaded more of his personal holdings nearly 5 million shares and options for a total of $96.8 million. The news comes the same day that the Sequoia Fund revealed it is completely out of the stock. Sequoia was at one time the largest Valeant shareholder.

Wednesday also saw short seller Andrew Left say the company's stockcould be headed to zero           [ $13/Share from $264 at its high]. 

The company came under fire when The New York Times reported that Valeant and other pharmaceutical companies were using a network of specialty pharmacies to sustain sales of their high-priced drugs and prevent patients and insurers from switching to cheaper generic drugs. Citron Research subsequently published a note calling Valeant the "pharmaceutical Enron."  

Social Security annual increase for inflation lately was zero, yet medications' prices doubles every three years......   Just a thought.

Jean Germain, 67, who had been mayor of Tours from 1995 to 2014 and was also a serving Socialist senator, was voted out of office in the wake of the scandal.
Co-accused Lise Han, a Taiwanese businesswoman employed by the city to promote “relationships with China”, allegedly used her position to make tens of thousands of euros for herself. She is accused of fraud, collusion and mishandling public funds.

Han was the brainchild behind schemes that included inviting groups of Chinese newly-weds to visit Tours and the surrounding Loire Valley, and “remarry” in fake ceremonies presided over by Germain. The fake weddings took place between 2007 and 2011.

While the fake ceremonies were not illegal, Han, who was a full-time employee of Tours city hall, is accused of enriching herself at the local taxpayer’s expense by continuing to run firm Time-Lotus Bleu, subcontracted to the city to organise the tours.

President Francois Hollande expressed his sadness, saying Germain had taken his own life "because he didn't want his honor sullied" .

The Game...*

Lori Conley was arrested on charges of murder and child endangering. She was arraigned in Franklin County Municipal Court and jailed.  Police say Conley gave the baby the Benadryl to put him to sleep.

Authorities say the 43-year-old Conley was baby-sitting eight toddlers and infants at her Reynoldsburg, Ohio, home when she found Haddix Mulkey unresponsive. He died at a Columbus hospital.

An Ohio baby sitter accused of giving an 8-month-old boy a fatal dose of Benadryl has been told to have no contact with children and no unsupervised contact with her own children.

Police say the charges were delayed until toxicology tests confirmed the baby received a fatal dose of the over-the-counter allergy drug.

For children and adults, this over the Counter Medication is a serious drug, similar to many other Over the Counters or RX prescription medication. Ask the pharmacist on premises.      Just a thought

Ukraine's intelligence agency SBU said it has thwarted a plot to attack soccer's European Championships in France by arresting a Frenchman who wanted to cross from Ukraine into the European Union armed to the teeth.

The SBU followed the man and allowed him to purchase five machine guns, two rocket propelled grenades and other weapons before he was arrested on the border between Ukraine and Poland last month.

The SBU said he was driven by ultra-nationalist views and planned 15 attacks on bridges, railways and other pieces of infrastructure for Euro 2016 that will be held in France.

In the wake of the terrorist attacks by extremists in recent years in France and Belgium, and with the wars in Iraq, Syrian and Afghanistan fueling an almost unprecedented influx of refugees and migrants to the continent, far-right and Euroskeptic parties have made sweeping gains.

lately, far-right politicians gained many seats in the European Parliament triggering what one prime minister called a political "earthquake" by those who want to slash the powers of the European Union or abolish it altogether. What to do to keep citizens safe at home is a key.

It is political Earthquake here also in the USA.  Just a thought.
