Stay Different...*

Screenwriter Graham Moore has won the Academy Award for best adapted screenplay, defeating newcomers and Oscar veterans alike with his first produced screenplay. The Imitation Game tells the story of Alan Turing, the father of modern computing, who cracked impossible German codes in World War II and helped end the war.

He used the win to give a powerful speech about suicide awareness and depression.

"I tried to commit suicide at 16 and now I'm standing here," he said. "I would like for this moment to be for that kid out there who feels like she doesn’t fit in anywhere. You do. Stay weird. Stay different, and then when it's your turn and you are standing on this stage please pass the same message along."

Lose Weight...*

Losing weight is a matter of simple math. To drop pounds, you need to eat fewer calories than you burn. There’s no way around that.  Here is a suggestion
Eggs or Egg White: A protein-rich breakfast may help you resist snack attacks throughout the day. The effect of the high-protein breakfast seemed to last into the evening.
Legumes: (Beans, lentil, Peas, and Peanuts) are cheap, filling, versatile, and a great source of protein, fibers, and other nutrients. They are slow to digest.
High fiber Cereals and whole wheat bread are most filling choice.
A healthy snack on the run, choose a small handful of almonds, peanuts, walnuts, or pecans.
Fruit and Vegetables: keeping an apple or some grape tomatoes with you when you're on the go will help greatly.
Small food portions are recommended.
So start adding these items to your diet, (check with your doctor) will help you lose weight. Other information to follow.   Just a thought.  

Counterfeit...*

[ABC- Eamon McNieff shorted ]

Boxes of illegal and counterfeit medicine like Amoxicillin, vitamin shots for b12 deficiency; Terramyacin, an antibiotic for eye infections, Ampicilin for ear infections, 

Viagra, heart medication, morphine and other injectable were confiscated.    

There are numerous small storefronts with names like Canada Drugs or Canada Direct, advertising inexpensive drugs, but there are questions over whether the medicines being sold are pure, or even from Canada.

Authorities say customers are drawn to these unlicensed sellers because of price.

Do Canada, Australia and the EU Countries have the same counterfeit problem?

Can we further research this issue and report the solution?

This is the scam of the century. Prices of medications are sky rocketing, the market is vulnerable for all sort of abuse, and politicians are busy with other things.
Just a thought.

Eggs...*

The Prevention of Farm Cruelty Act requires a minimum of 116 square inches per layer, 73%  more farm space than in a conventional system.

While this may cause higher prices in California, prices elsewhere may face downward pressure if out-of-State egg producers choose not to alter their facilities."

Farmers have two options, invest or downscale, according to a special report compiled by the Egg Industry Centre, University of Iowa. 

While there are various ways to achieve these requirements, all of them lead to a higher cost of production than the conventional system.

Prices in New York tripled earlier in the year, then slowly went back to just 20 cents up.   Just a thought.

Restrictions...

Rubio, a Republican who ran for president in 2016, said that gun restrictions would not have prevented the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The senator had received $3.3 million from the National Rifle Association as of October, according to The New York Times.

Politics...

One of the most senior figures in the US Republican party, Mitt Romney, has issued a scathing verbal attack on the frontrunner for the party's presidential nomination, Donald Trump.

Mr Romney attacked Mr Trump as ''a phoney, a fraud''. ''His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University,'' he said.

Mr Trump has meanwhile mocked Mr Romney on Twitter as a "failed candidate" who should not advise on electability.  [March 3/2016]

President Donald Trump took to Twitter to offer surprising support for a longtime nemesis. The president endorsed Republican Mitt Romney for senator, a position the former Massachusetts governor hopes to inherit from retiring GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah.  Just a thought.
