MidLife...

A midlife crisis is a transition of identity and self-confidence that can occur in middle-aged individuals.  The phenomenon is described as a psychological crisis brought about by events that highlight a person's growing age, inevitable mortality, and possibly shortcomings of accomplishments in life. This may produce feelings of depression, remorse, and anxiety, or the desire to achieve youthfulness or make drastic changes to current lifestyle.

During midlife typically we are burdened by taking care of children and parents, and a shift in our sense of time, leading us to reflect on our lives, decisions, and our future. 

Men feel hopelessly trapped in an identity or lifestyle they experience as constraining, fueled by an acute awareness of time passing. Finding themselves in a life that feels empty and inauthentic, they feel pressure to break out, and may desperately grasp at a chance for vitality and pleasure.  

Revenge...

Rapper 50 Cent will face legal action surrounding a social media post seen as revenge porn by Teairra Mari.

Mari said she discovered her boyfriend, actor Abdul-Ahad was cheating on her and broke up with him. Shortly after, he posted a "sex tape and an obscene photo" of her "clearly to humiliate" her.

"He had my Instagram password so he posted the video and photo to make me look terrible."

Mari claims that after the explicit content was taken down,  her ex's "good friend" 50 Cent then posted a sexually explicit photo of her on his account, which has more than 18 million followers.

Who are these folks and cares?

Coli...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the harvest season for romaine lettuce, linked to the multi-state E. coli outbreak, was over.

The reported strain of E. coli, which produces poisonous substances known as Shiga toxins, can cause severe abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea and vomiting.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on May 2 one person from California had died related to the E. coli outbreak.

The last shipments of romaine lettuce from Yuma, Arizona were harvested on April 16, according to the FDA.

Twenty-three more people fell ill since the last update on May 9, bringing the total to 172 people from 32 states, the CDC said.

Didn't know nothing about it.

Post...

The final results of Iraq's first post-Islamic State (ISIS) election, held last weekend, have revealed a shock win for controversial anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

The Shia leader, who has railed against both U.S. and Iranian influence, could dramatically change the landscape for major powers that have invested heavily in Iraq.

A firebrand religious leader with millions of loyal followers, Sadr gained infamy shortly after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion by directing deadly attacks against American troops with his Mahdi Army, which also attacked Iraq's Sunnis.

Several of his election rallies triggered chants of "Iran out!" among his followers, voicing the desire for an Iraqi state run by Iraqis.

Most bets were on current Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to win,  but Abadi finished in a meager third place behind the Iranian-backed militia leader Hadi al-Amiri, head of the Badr Brigade, an organization created by Iran during the 1980s to fight Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq war. Amiri was among Tehran's favorites to win — and this dynamic could create a rift in parliament between Iran loyalists and Sadr supporters.

So what was our plan for invading Iraq?

Trust...

According to the USA TODAY Trump Voter Panel, Americans who voted for the president haven't wavered in support despite the latest White House scandals.  

" I believe our voices are part of those forgotten Americans whom President Trump touched during the 2016 election".  

Being a Trump supporter gets you labeled as a racist and every other type of "ist" classification you can think of.

Comment: We know what is happening through the Media which all through is not trustworthy. I personal interacted with many outlets for poor, one sided, or wrong information altogether.
The  Media have their own priorities and agenda. Each Media outlet wants to be number one. They all are after the ratings.

Accordingly, the Media is feeding the public with the Media's opinion, side of story, or some of highly paid individuals' opinion  to create a show of 24 hrs daily.
With this kind of reporting, individuals must asses what they hear, see and read. What to listen and what to skip, or simply ignore.

Never...

I am not sure where is the Democratic party now. Schumer and the others ae silent, talk about side issues, One dollar short and one day late.

I thought taxes reforms will make the Democrat shines, not realy. In NY where many will be impacted due to higher taxes, still, the Democratic Governor wants to add more taxes.

What's up guys/Gals?
What's you strength?  DACA?

Unscroupulous...

 

Almost like magic, the drug naloxone can bring victims of opioid overdoses back from the brink of death. With more than 115 people dying each day from opioid overdoses, the drug could save thousands of lives each year.

The prices of naloxone have skyrocketed, putting it beyond the reach of some police, first responders, etc.

Manufacturers insist that "list prices" are meaningless because of the discounts. But the actual prices paid by consumers are virtually indecipherable because of all those discounts, coupons, etc.

Whatever it is, it is high.

Traffic...

Ten airline employees at a Texas airport have been indicted for their role in allegedly trafficking nearly 150 pounds of what the defendants believed was methamphetamine. 

The investigation goes back as far as August 2016.

Court documents did not detail how exactly the defendants used their employment to smuggle contraband, but they accused them of detailing to undercover officers how they evaded security and distributed a substance that the workers believed to be methamphetamine to multiple cities, including Newark, Charlotte and Phoenix on commercial flights.

On each occasion, law enforcement officers received the counterfeit drugs at the flight's destination. 

Teen...

A study, published in the journal Pediatrics, discovered that the number of kids and teens hospitalized for suicidal thoughts or attempts more than doubled in the U.S. from 2008 to 2015. "There are increasing rates of anxiety and depression in youth and young adults.  

The study identified 116,000 cases, About two-thirds of the cases involved girls. All ages groups saw increases, but those aged 15 to 17 were the highest, followed by those aged 12 to 14.

The data found that the rates for suicidal thoughts and attempts were higher in fall and spring, suggesting that school could play a role. 

Authors of the study pointed out that suicide is now the third leading cause of death among American adolescents.

Social media could play a role, according to the study, increasing screen time on electronic devices is a marker for depression.

It's important to know the warning signs. "Major changes in sleep and appetite can be a red flag.

For the parents and the grandparents, love your young more.
