RomanceTop 10 Reasons To Read Books (you Must Read This) by apeiron24(op): 8:25pm On Dec 30, 2016
What is bulb without a filament?

What is body without a soul?

And what is life without a book!

Being a reader myself, it’s disturbing to know that people seek reasons to read. There cannot be a better reason than the book itself. The pleasure of curling up with a book and getting lost in its depth seems alien now. Gone are the days and lost are the people, who would fall into the depths of books, not just for getting by a high-school assignment but for the sake of the actually reading. Words fail me to describe the feeling of switching worlds, in moments I open up a book. I hope, by the end of this article, I’m able to give you a reason good enough for to you grab a book.

10. Takes your mind off things
How many sleepless nights had been spent just because we couldn’t get our mind to shut-up! Where coffee and music fail to do the trick, books might have been the answer all along! The magical power of the books to teleport one to a different world (no not literally!) is the reason why I am still sane and haven’t killed anyone yet! Now-now, don’t judge me! World can be a hard place, and it’s better to turn pages rather than tossing and turning yourself. Letting the printed lines to take you to a world of book is the distraction welcomed happily by the mind to clear itself.

9. People-people everywhere, not a soul to talk!
18 hr flight, travelling alone, no electronics allowed! what to do! Well knock-knock! A book doesn’t runs on batteries! Groucho Marx once said, “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend” A mere presence of a book can provide comfort in the coldest of hours, be it a cab ride home, holidays in the tropics or even when surrounded by the undesired lot! When in need, books are the only friend there for you even if you had turned your back on them. The anytime-anywhere buddy of mankind may save you from dubstep feeling that is only occurs when alone because loneliness is a state of mind rather than a state of being.

8. ‘A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one’
Getting lost in the work of fiction just to find you walking hand-in-hand with the protagonist, reliving his life, gaining and learning along the way has its perks. Now-now, I m not talking about books like Twilight or 50 Shades Of Grey, Actual literature and pure art like The World Is Flat by Thomas Friedman or Les Miserables by Victor Hugo forces mankind to think beyond the usual humdrum. ‘A good book has no ending.’ said Robert Frost once. Taking way beyond the horizons of one’s thinking these printed sheets enlarge your world, force you to embrace a new thought and evaluate your life against it.

7. A boost to imagination and creativity
“Broaden your minds, my dears, and allow your eyes to see past the mundane!” cried Professor Trelawney in the first class of deviation. Books like Flatland by Edwin Abbott, a romance novel between different dimensions, and Harry Potter (do we need to say more) , show you that nothing is unimaginable. Reading exposes one to different worlds, analyzing different takes on the problem at hand, your mind is forced to weave through the plots and twists of life, that the person who sat down to read is not the same who got up after being done with it. Sometimes a mere imagination aids the crisis at hand. The world is an amusement park and your life a roller coaster. Depends upon how you go about it!

6. Doesn’t let your mind rust
As George R.R. Martin said, “A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone”. The chain comprising of reading, understanding what is read, imagining what is understood, analyzing the imagined, and absorbing the very best and important, works as a sharpening tools for both mind and soul. Books help sharpening of mind. Loosing oneself in the work of fiction time and again keeps your grey matter in check. The more you read, the more you understand one thing, the A to Z of a thing. The more you understand, the better you are prepared for the upcoming.

5. Fundamental skill builder
Reading exposes one to new words and different styles of writing hence contributing to improved vocabulary and enhancement of language as, only in books; sadly, the pure form of literature is left now. One of the very basic advantages, yet highly ignored, of reading is that is makes you more vigilant. Regular reading refines reading speed which is directly related to response time. The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the better you will understand the root of a thing. Hence grooming on the inside as well outside.

4. Better decisions made
There is never a sole path to the destination, what path one chooses defines him as a person and refines his life. Having read and lived through different lives had helped to gain experience and knowledge and now I am able to ponder upon the ways that have worked in the past and that have not thus lowering the chances of me stepping off on the wrong foot.

3. A better you
Reading for long periods helps mind to focus and concentrate. The self- discipline earned by merely scheduling to read daily improves the memory as well as your relationships with your peers. Having been read topics, you become better informed about your areas of interest, people seek help from you. This expertise translates into higher self esteem. Being a portable source of information, books can be carried to any place providing you with an opportunity to learn anywhere.

2. Gives you something to talk about
Have you ever run out of stuff to talk about? You want to yet nothing pops up in the head. Well that can be uncomfortable. Running out of things to talk might make you question your relationship. Being a reader, you can always discuss various plots of different novels, the new things you learnt. The possibilities of sharing are endless.

1. Lowers the risk of Alzheimer’s disease
Studies have shown that being a regular reader lowers the chances of having Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. Reading a book is an active brain process. Unlike going through a different articles and pieces of information, books take you through the entire story thus requiring mental exercise to remember all the names, plot and paths involved thus slowing the shrinking of brains that leads to a number of memory related diseases.

1. The Brazilian bride who died in a helicopter crash on the way to her wedding
In December 2016, a Brazilian bride's surprise entrance to her wedding went tragically wrong when the helicopter she was in crashed minutes before she was due to tie the knot. Rosemeire Silva Nascimento, who was wearing her wedding dress and veil, died instantly along with three others.

The 32-year-old nurse planned to amaze her fiancé, Udirley Narques Damasceno, 34, and their 300 guests with a stunning entrance by flying into the Recanto Beija-Flor venue in Sao Lourenco da Serra, a wealthy suburb of Sao Paulo, in a chopper. The groom was in a state of shock at the altar as he was told his bride had died.

In addition to Rosemeire, the other victims included her brother, Silvano Nascimento da Silva, who had been “very excited about the plan," the wedding photographer, Nayla Cristina Neves Lousada, who was six months pregnant, and Peterson Pinheiro, the pilot.

2. The mother of the bride who was killed when a tree fell on the wedding party
The mother of the bride who was killed when a tree fell on the wedding party
A US wedding turned deadly in December 2016 after a eucalyptus tree in a Southern California park collapsed on the bridal party posing for photos. A woman believed to be the mother of the bride was killed, and five people were injured. Witness Gilbert Duran was attending a girl's 15th birthday party in the park when the tree fell. Moments before the tree toppled, he and some friends had been taking pictures underneath it, but moved for better light.

3. The 20 wedding guests who died after the dance floor collapsed
At least 20 people were killed and hundreds injured at a wedding party in Jerusalem in 2001 after the dance floor collapsed. Guests were left clinging to the walls of the Versailles wedding hall when the third floor suddenly gave way and crashed through two stores below.

There were nearly 700 guests in the building, which was in the industrial Talpiot area of Jerusalem. 23 people fell to their deaths through two stories, including the groom's 80-year-old grandfather and his three-year-old second cousin, the youngest victim. Another 380 were injured, including the bride, who suffered severe pelvic injuries.


4. The father of the bride who died moments after dancing with his daughter at her wedding
A father dropped dead of a heart attack just moments after finishing the first dance with his daughter at her wedding. Tim Buchanan, 54, was at Michele Howard's nuptials in Costa Rica when the tragedy happened, along with his wife and her mother Jeni.


5. The 51 wedding guests who where killed by a suicide bomber
This is the haunting image of a mass grave dug for some of the 51 guests who were killed while dancing at a wedding in Gaziantep, Turkey. The killer, who wore an explosive belt, was between12-14 years old. It was Turkey's deadliest bombing of 2016.

12 people were buried the day after the attack, but other funerals had to wait because many of the victims were blown to pieces and DNA was the only way to identify them.


6. The father who died in plane crash while flying over his daughter's wedding reception
Not all surprises go as planned. In July 2015, a day of celebration quickly turned tragic when an Alaskan man, performing a surprise flyover at his daughter's wedding reception, died when his plane crashed.

Michael Zagula, 54, had performed the ceremony earlier at his daughter's wedding to a man he is said to have treated like a son.
About half the town of Trapper Creek, Alaska, some 120 miles north of Anchorage, was at the reception. Zagula posed for photographs with the happy couple at the cake cutting before slipping away.

"About 20 minutes later his plane was flying over, and he loved to fly, so he wanted to do something special for the kids," Klondike Hughes, a friend of Zagula's, said. Zagula flew over the party, but as he was returning, he clipped some trees and lost control of the aircraft. Many of the guests either witnessed or heard the crash.


7. The bride who drowned during her wedding photo shoot
In 2012, a woman taking part in a "trash the dress" wedding photo shoot drowned after being pulled underwater by the weight of her wedding gown while snapping pictures in a river near Dorwin Falls in Quebec.

Photographer Louis Pagakis said 30-year-old Maria Pantazopoulos entered the Ouareau River in her wedding dress so she could have her picture taken in the style of wedding photography meant to symbolize that permanence of the marriage. But the dress quickly became saturated, and the weight of it was simply too much for the 100-pound Pantazopoulos, who began to sink to the bottom. The photographer and a witness tried to save her but were unsuccessful. A scuba diver later found Pantzopoulos' body at the bottom of a nearby stagnant pool of water.


8. The women who died after the wedding limo caught fire
In 2013, nine women in a limo, including the bride-to-be, were caught in a tragic fire that started burning just as the car was crossing the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge near San Francisco. Five of the women were burnt alive including Felomina Geronga, Jennifer Balon, 39, of Dublin; Michelle Estrera, 35, of Fresno; Anna Alcantara, 46, of San Lorenzo; and bride Neriza Fojas, 31, of Monterey. They were headed to a party in Foster City to celebrate Fojas' nuptials when the blaze started.

9. A woman was killed and four people were injured by rogue bullets during a wedding celebration
Celebratory gunfire during a wedding ceremony in India went horribly wrong when one guest was killed, and four others were injured. The dramatic incident took place at Savitiri Marriage Hall, in Karnal district, Haryana, northern India, in November 2016.

Wedding guests started firing shots into the air soon after the ceremony to celebrate, which is a tradition. The party, however, soon turned tragic when guest Sunita, 48, was accidentally shot in the chest and died later in hospital. Four other guests were injured, including an 11-year-old girl, and they were all rushed to a nearby hospital in a critical condition.

BusinessDangote Makes World’s Most Powerful Persons List by apeiron24(op): 12:13pm On Dec 24, 2016
In spite of the biting economic recession, it is not all gloom for the country. One of world’s most respected magazines, Forbes, recently ranked Alhaji Aliko Dangote as one of the most powerful individuals in the world. In this, he is ranked among global political figures like the newly elected President of United States Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The President of Dangote Group, Nigeria’s biggest business conglomerate, first featured on the exclusive list of world’s powerful people in 2013 when he was ranked the 71st most powerful person in the world and the only African to crack the list. This year’s ranking sees him move up to 68th in the world and second in Africa behind Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who is placed 44th on the list.

Expectedly, the top places on the list are dominated by very visible global figures who have been making waves for right or wrong reasons. Vladimir Putin, the aggressive Russian president, sits atop the list as the most powerful person in the world, followed by Donald W Trump. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is third while Chinese premier Xi Jinping is fourth. Social media champion and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is number 10 on the list released by the magazine.
TV/MoviesHow Become A Nollywood Star (A Must Read For All Aspirants) by apeiron24(op): 7:22am On Dec 20, 2016
Are you ready to join the Nollywood now to become popular and begin your journey to stardom? Acting has a profound influence, fame, money, and sometimes self fulfillment. World over, it’s one of the most coveted careers. The reigning countries in movie making USA – Hollywood, India – Bollywood, and Nigeria – Nollywood. The Movie world powers have proved how lucrative a career in acting could be.

Many actors and actresses who started without connections made many sacrifices, many succeed and yet some didn’t succeed. Such is the cost of being an actor. I will be taking one from the three biggest movie industries in the world – Nigeria’s Nollywood. What does it take to become an actor here? What does it take to join Nollywood particularly?

What To Expect When You Join Nollywood
Up coming actors earns up to N100,000 to N500,000 per role/movie while already established actors earn up to N5million. The earning is not exclusively through acting. Actors earn more even from endorsement and sponsorship. Corporate organizations, business brands always use popular faces to market their products. And that means a great deal to you as an actor who knows his job, who people like.

Talent

What it takes to imitate a character perfectly is not usually picked from the street, it stems from inside you. And that’s the driving force of acting. It keeps pushing anyone who has it to display it. This ability “Talent” is the criteria number one in pursuing a career in any movie industry. And Nollywood is not an exception.

Developing your Talent: Acting is a versatile career. It involves doing things you were not born with, things obtainable thousands of miles away. Sometimes, it may be to speak another language, portray a foreign culture or a rude character (Villain). Your ability to play the roles with ease and perfection makes you a talent. But one thing about talent is that, it needs development.

Comedy? There’s a question you really need to answer while developing your talent. Am I better doing comedy? Humor has a big way of making people rich. In fact, the richest actor in the world is a comedian. Therefore, determine what side of acting you really belong.

Start with what is available around you, it could be church, school or anywhere there is a drama role to play. Make sure you record most of it. Remember, a whole lot of others are working to get the same role, and that’s why you need to work harder. A little edge you have over another person may be what the film director really needs.

You could join a talent hunt organization. Sometimes, producers and directors work with such organizations to get a suitable talent for a character.

Auditions

Every movie has audition. It is through this practice that producers and directors get the best talents. So, look out for opportunities to test-play a role. Producers always put words out whenever there is audition or when there is a need for fresh talents. Attend as many as possible, you will only need one movie, one role to make your mark.

The benefit of audition is that it helps you to get exposed to movie makers. And that’s multiple choice, in case this doesn’t work, you will get to know about another. Until you get a role, don’t stop.

CelebritiesThe X Factor Gay Couple's Secret Affair Exposed: Fans Have No Idea They Are Gay by apeiron24(op): 3:19am On Dec 09, 2016
THE X Factor has unwittingly played cupid to many relationships between contestants over the years.

Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards met on the show, as did Liam Payne and Cheryl, and Diana Vickers and Eoghan Quigg.
But another couple may have been unearthed, as one of the final 12 contestants from this year’s show has been found to be having a secret gay romance with someone connected to the show.
According to the Daily Star, which has chosen not to name the individuals, the competitor in question has reportedly been spending a lot of time with their mystery lover.
An insider told the site: "All the contestants have a day off on a Thursday as a rest day.

“This star saw it as a perfect excuse to spend every Wednesday night away.
“They knew that the live shows are the most important part of the series as they had so much to rehearse, but it seems they had a one-track mind.”

Unfortunately, the romance might not last, as the source hinted there had previously been trouble between the pair.
“They kept telling the fellow contestant that they love them, but it's just words,” they added.

“The person has been caught getting it on with other members of The X Factor team.
“The pair recently had a bust-up after one of them was caught kissing another contestant.

“The duo have now kissed and made up.”
The singing hopefuls were also described as being “like dogs on heat”.

Another source previously told the publication that while the judges have been kept in the dark, their families know all about it.
“Their family and friends know they are an item but they’ve kept it a secret from viewers and that’s the way they want it for now,” the insider added.
“Their fans have no idea they are a couple.”
However, the couple aren’t the only pair who have got together from this year’s show.

Ryan Lawrie and Emily Middlemas, who have been dating for nearly a year, were very public about their relationship during the series.
Nicole Scherzinger’s mentee even announced his love for his girlfriend, after she was eliminated during last weekend’s semi-final.
And Gifty Louise and Jordan Lee, from 5 After Midnight, were said to have grown very close since they entered the X Factor house.
A show source told The Sun: “Gifty and Jordan have been inseparable since entering the house but they are trying to keep things low key.

“It’s still very much early days for them both and they don’t want to risk their friendship, or chances in the competition, by flaunting their feelings for each other.”
The X Factor final starts this Saturday, at 8pm, on ITV.

BusinessCope With Five Boss Personality Types by apeiron24(op): 7:12pm On Nov 16, 2016
Great bosses share similar traits -- they're clear communicators, good listeners and confident decision makers, for instance -- but as many of us can attest, each bad (or just difficult-to-work-with) boss is bad in his own way.

Nonetheless, some boss personality types are so recognizable that they've been immortalized in pop culture. Here's how to deal with five of them:

1. The Authoritative Boss (e.g., Don Draper, Mad Men)
The authoritative boss is the ultimate risk taker and has a flair for drama. On the downside, he can be a poor communicator. He's creative and perceptive, but he's also suspicious of others.

"Most important is to acknowledge how clever they are, how they seek justice and how they find really good shortcuts to get the work done," says leadership and communication expert Sylvia Lafair, author of Don't Bring It to Work.

Lynn Taylor, author of Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant and CEO of Lynn Taylor Consulting, suggests that when dealing with someone who is suspicious, you should "get specific" and allow little room for misinterpretation. She also suggests putting communication in an email to prevent miscommunication.

2. The Narcissistic Boss (e.g., Miranda Priestly, The Devil Wears Prada)

The narcissistic boss is hugely self-entitled -- often justifiably so. She puts herself on a pedestal far above subordinates, of whom she is ruthlessly critical. She does not welcome feedback and has little empathy.

Taylor recommends using what she calls the "CALM" method (Communicate, Anticipate, Laugh and Manage Up) with these bosses.

"Communicate frequently, honestly and regularly with aggressive bosses, so you understand what's behind all the blustering,” she says. “Anticipate problems before they occur or become more stressful [and don't encourage a tantrum with bad timing, either]. Taylor also suggests laughter. "A little levity goes a long way when tensions are running high," she says. "Manage up by being a role model of good behavior, using positive and negative reinforcement as you would with a child."

3. The Everyman Boss (e.g., Michael Scott, The Office)

This boss is likable enough, but he's sometimes inappropriate. He manages from the gut, and he's just too wishy-washy to lead effectively.

Janet Civitelli, workplace psychologist at VocationVillage.com, says one of the best strategies for dealing with an indecisive boss is to train him into realizing that decisions aren't so scary. "Indecision often stems from fear of making a mistake or looking bad, so try to find ways to help your boss shine," she says.

Vicky Oliver, author of 301 Smart Answers to Tough Business Etiquette Questions, suggest using your boss’s lack of leadership abilities as an opportunity for yourself. “Take the lead in the discussion, but stay detached from any particular outcome,” she says. “Use logic, rather than unbridled passion."

4. The Autocratic Boss (e.g., Vito Corleone, The Godfather)

Regardless of his physicality, Lafair describes this boss as "large and in charge." He is cruel (even a bit of a bully) and sometimes very frightening.

"The best way to handle these bosses is to let them know you appreciate how they have situations under control,” Lafair says. “[Demonstrate that] you're willing to be another pair of eyes, so that when chaos and anxiety are stirring, you can be available to help find ways to calm situations down."

5. The Pace-Setting Boss (e.g., Donald Trump, The Apprentice)

This is the boss who creates a competitive environment at work. He sets very high goals and standards -- and is very demanding of employees.

With a boss who sets hard-to-achieve goals, ask for as many details as possible, says Andy Kanefield, co-author of Uncommon Sense. "Ask for details about what it means, what the steps look like, who they've seen that has done it well,” he says. “Try to get a picture of what success looks like."

Then, Lafair says, you should acknowledge how much you appreciate those clear goals -- "and then the great policies and procedures fall into place."

FamilySee How People Stop This Man From Burning A Building (photos/video) by apeiron24(op): 8:16am On Nov 15, 2016
Jos North, Plateau Nigeria-

The quiet neighbourhood of Rukuba Road, along Satellite Market was awaken by a loud noise coming from a story building house along the road.


Early this morning, a resident of a house on the street rose up, packed all his property and those of his younger brother who lives with him and then locked both of them inside the room. He then poured kerosene in the room and on his brother in a bid to set the room ablaze. It was the smell of the kerosene that woke the brother who was still asleep. The brother then started shouting and got the attention of the remaining tenants in the house who forcefully broke in and rescued the younger brother whose feet and hands were tied.

The furious tenants and the neighbors overpowered the perpetrator and tied to the pole outside to restrain him from burning the building.


The tenants said that the man tied to the pole was mentally challenged. They explained that sometimes, he behaves normally and other times has spells of insanity which results in leaving destruction in his wake.



The best thing they could do to save the whole building today is to restrain him by tying him up with a padlocked chain. The younger brother was very scared that he could not talk to anybody, he was just sited crying.
It is advisable that psychiatric access should be given to this sufferer and he should be committed for treatment of proper medical management.

Christianity EtcRccg Sunday School Manual Lesson 11: “victory Over Sin” – November 13th , 2016 by apeiron24(op): 7:40am On Nov 13, 2016
TOPIC: “VICTORY OVER SIN”

TEXT: BIBLE PASSAGE: ROMANS 6:8-14 kjv
8: Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

9: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead

dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10: For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

11: Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

12: Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

13: Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves

unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

14: For sin shall command men dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

MEMORY VERSE:
Romans 6:13: Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

LESSON INTRODUCTION
After salvation, the deep cry of every heart should be for holiness, to be like Christ, to overcome sin and to live a blameless and holy life. Some Christians try to be holy and at times they do not succeed so they become discouraged. They become fearful of preaching holiness lest they be seen as preaching something they cannot practice. Some Christians have never ever heard of the victorious life of holiness so they continue sinning and confessing from day to day.

The Bible teaches glorious victory over sin for every believer. In John 5:4, John was not speaking about victory in Heaven but of victory on earth; daily victory over the world and the lusts thereof.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: CLAIMING THE PROMISES OF GOD

How can believers obtain and retain victory over sin?

i. Identify that we can do all things by Christ Jesus and that without Him we can only do nothing- Phillip 4:13; John15:5

ii. Remember that you have been given the commandment to be holy- 1Pet1:15-16

iii. Understand that we have victory over sin through Christ- Romans8:37

iv. Believe that believers will triumph always and dominate sin through Christ- Romans6:14; 2Corinth 2:14

v. Understand that you are dead with Christ- Gal 2:20

vi. Understand that a dead man cannot sin

vii. Understand that you are buried with Christ- Romans 6:4

viii. Understand too that the old man in you has been buried also

ix. Believe that you are now alive with Christ- Romans 6:5

x. Believe that you now have victory and dominion over sin- Romans 6:8

LESSON OUTLINE 2: THE CHOICE TO MAKE

i. Believers have choice on whether to be a victor over sin or vanquished

ii. If you decided to be on the winning side, you must observe the following:

a. You must yield yourself to God- Romans 6:13

b. Bring your faith of being alive from dead to work

c. Understand that yielding to Christ is freedom from sin- Romans6:18

d. Understand that yielding to sin is going back to the bondage and captivity of sin- Romans6:19

SUMMARY
i. Yield to Christ always and retain your victory over sin

ii. Yield to sin and lose your victory over sin

iii. You should chose Christ and victory

CONCLUSION-
Probably you have tried to live victoriously before and you have failed. What should be done now? 1John1:9 is still true. Jesus has never failed. Your failure has not weakenedChrist. Obey the commands of the Spirit as Hedirects you in your daily routine.

CLOSING PRAYER
i. My father, do not return into the captivity of sin again

ii. My father let me have a complete restoration, in the name of Jesus.

iii. My father, help my unbelief and relief me of every stress of sin, in the name of Jesus.

God Bless You

Foreign Affairs10 Dark Secrets Of Hillary Clinton (I Bet You Don't Know) by apeiron24(op): 4:36pm On Nov 11, 2016
Hillary Clinton is the least popular Democrat ever nominated for president. Say her name, and people will respond with words like “scandal,” “untrustworthy,” and “liar.” But are these accusations really fair? Yes. Go digging through the Clinton closet, and you’ll uncover more skeletons than in your average medieval plague pit. I am Apeiron, and am presenting to you some dark secrets of Hilary Clinton i bet you don't know...

Before you punch me, grab a bottle water, rest your back and lets open our eyes.....

10. Cozy Ties To Hideous Regimes
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and Algeria are disparate countries with different histories. They do have one thing in common: a callous disregard for human rights, something Clinton seemingly ignored when accepting megabucks off their despotic leaders.

Over the years, the Clinton Foundation accepted tens of millions of dollars from countries with appalling attitudes toward women, gays, and religious minorities. Often, those countries had policies directly at odds with the Foundation’s stated goals of promoting gender-equality and LGBT rights. Clinton’s charity was receiving this money at the same time that Clinton was daily making life-or-death decisions involving these countries as Secretary of State. While this isn’t technically illegal, it was arguably a conflict of interest, especially when you consider Clinton’s policy of...

9. Cash For Access
Crown Prince Salman is heir apparent to the throne of Bahrain and supreme commander of the country’s army. He’s also a Clinton Foundation megadonor, having thrown the charity $32 million while Clinton was Secretary of State. This just happened to coincide with the State Department approving $630 million of commercial arms sales to Bahrain’s army—a 187 percent increase from the pre-Clinton State Department.The sales came just as Bahrain was violently suppressing pro-democracy protests.

They also came just after a Clinton Foundation employee had brokered a meeting between Salman and Hillary. While Clinton denies any wrongdoing, the stench of corruption is enough to make even a Prohibition-era gangster retch. This isn’t the only time such deals have taken place. An IBTimes investigation earlier this year suggested strong links between Saudi donations to the Clinton Foundation and a multimillion State Department arms deal with the kingdom signed off by Hillary herself.

8. Setting The FBI On Innocent People

At the start of 1993, Billy Dale was a respected White House veteran. He’d worked arranging presidential trips for the last 30 years and headed a seven-man department for

By May 19, he was jobless and under investigation by the FBI. His crime? Occupying a position Hillary Clinton wanted for her friends.The moment the Clintons entered the White House, Hillary started spreading rumors that Dale’s department was embezzling. She forced the FBI to investigate and sacked Dale’s entire team then handed the seven newly vacated posts to staffers who had worked on Bill’s presidential campaign.

When the story broke, she claimed under oath that the FBI investigation hadn’t been her idea. A memo later surfaced showing it had. As for Dale, he was cleared by the FBI but still wound up losing the job he loved and taking early retirement.

7. Diverting Funds To Friends
In September 2010, the Clinton Foundation set up a $2 million commitment to Energy Pioneer Solutions (EPS), a group that insulates homes to increase energy efficiency. Sounds kind of harmless, until you realize EPS is owned by personal friends of the Clintons. According to the Wall Street Journal, this may have been done with the express intent of enriching the Clintons’ associates.Hillary Clinton vigorously denies any wrongdoing, saying the Foundation chose EPS on merit. But it’s not hard to see this as inappropriate. EPS is a for-profit company, so stakeholders benefit financially from such deals. Stakeholders for EPS include Bill Clinton’s personal friend Julie Tauber McMahon, plus the Democratic National Committee treasurer and Democratic operative Mark Wiener. All potentially profited from the Clinton Foundation deal.

6. Mind-Blowing Incompetence
A basic requirement for Secretary of State is the ability to handle classified information. During her tenure at the State Department, Hillary not only mishandled sensitive documents—she possibly let them fall into the hands of foreign hackers.While Secretary of State, Hillary used a private server to store emails containing classified information.

She used multiple, unsecured devices to access them and sent many to other people’s private email addresses, including one later found to have been compromised by hackers possibly linked to Russia. Her staffers even lost a laptop full of confidential archived emails in the post. Hillary later said she was “unaware” of the procedures surrounding classified information. As excuses go, that’s like saying you shouldn’t be arrested for insider trading because you were “unaware” it was illegal.

5. Hypocrisy On Boycotts
Clinton recently tweeted her support for a boycott of North Carolina over its transgender bathroom laws. Not six months earlier, Hillary made a speech savaging anyone taking part in the boycotts against Israel for its treatment of Palestinians. We don’t want to make a value judgment on either cause. Whether you support them is up to you. But it is hypocritical to attack a boycott as a method of protest for one of the two while allowing it for the other. The sudden delight in boycotts was perhaps Clinton cynically jumping on the progressive bandwagon to win back some wavering Sanders voters.

4. Hypocrisy On Rape
On December 3, 2015, Hillary Clinton tweeted: “Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported.” There’s one rape survivor Hillary has refused to believe: Juanita Broaddrick. The man Broaddrick accuses of raping her is Bill Clinton.The allegations have never been proven. The point here is not whether it happened or not. The point is that Broaddrick’s story is at least as consistent as that of many other assault victims. And if Clinton thinks all survivors should be believed, that entails believing Broaddrick. Yet Hillary goes further than just not believing her. She denigrates her case, making it sound like the fantasies of a deluded woman. She does the exact things she deplores others doing to assault survivors.

3. Defending A Child Rapist
In 1975, Hillary Rodham defended a 41-year-old factory worker accused of raping a 12-year-old girl. As a court-appointed lawyer, Hillary had a duty to take the case. She did have a choice in how she presented her client’s defense, and she chose to do that by putting a 12-year-old rape victim through hell.Those are the exact words of the child whose life Hillary dragged through the mud. Still anonymous 41-years later, the victim claims Hillary went to insane lengths to discredit her. She said the child was a fantasist, that she craved sex with older men, that she came from a broken home and constantly claimed men were abusing her. These are all claims the victim says are verifiably untrue.

2. Health Cover-Ups
Despite claiming to be fit and healthy, Clinton has suffered more health scandals in the past few months than you can shake a proverbial stick at.The most obvious is Clinton’s recent bout of pneumonia, which caused her to collapse during a 9/11 memorial ceremony. There are others, too. In January, Hillary suffered a severe sinus infection that required the insertion of a myringotomy tube. In March, she underwent a brain scan. Perhaps most shockingly of all, she claimed the screw-ups with her emails were due to a 2012 concussion that scrambled her mind. These are all potentially serious for someone pushing 70. What’s even more serious is that she lied about them.

1. Slush Funds
There are strict limits on how much campaigns can raise per person. Some PACs are allowed to raise more, as they spend on more than one candidate (an Obama fund might also splash money on down-ballot Democrats, for example). Hill PAC was supposedly one such PAC. Yet the Intercept found only 11 percent of its funds went to candidates. The rest went to buying trivial stuff off Hillary’s presidential campaign for eye-watering sums—sums that, conveniently, helped pay off her ’08 campaign’s massive debts. For example, Hill PAC paid $822,492 to “rent” a list of contact details off Hillary ’08, way above market price. That money went straight to Hillary’s flagging presidential campaign.

By now, if you’re thinking the only sane response to all this corruption is to vote for Trump, note that Trump’s been involved in some shady antics, too.
I stand to be corrected on any of these.... am not a fan of either of them... but the truth gats to be told

CareerWhat To Do If Your Boss Is Incompetent by apeiron24(op): 5:16pm On Nov 10, 2016
If it’s any consolation, you’re not alone if you’re saddled with an incompetent boss.

Thousands of unqualified bosses somehow manage to hold onto their jobs. There are even inept CEOs who couldn’t run a broom closet, let alone multimillion-dollar corporations.

How Do You Know If Your Boss Is Incompetent?

Don’t berate yourself for not realizing your boss was a hopeless nincompoop before you took the job. How could you know what the future would hold back at the interview when you were totally focused on making a great impression? And your boss probably didn’t have any opportunities to demonstrate incompetence while being on his best behavior.

But now that you’ve settled into your job, the signs of incompetence can be likened to headlights on a pitch-black night. They’re unavoidable.

Common clues include:

Inability to Make Decisions: An incompetent boss often waffles over decisions that should be made instantly.

Tendency to Make Bad Choices: Ineffectual bosses often make poorly planned, miscalculated decisions. Miraculously, most incompetent bosses manage to save themselves at the 11th hour.

Reliance on Subordinates to Get Work Done: Incompetent bosses may not have a clue how to get their own jobs done, yet they have the uncanny sense to rely on their teams to cover for them.

Ability to Keep the Job Despite Failings: You’d be shocked how many inept bosses hold onto their jobs despite their failings. Many management consultants have yet to figure out why. Typically, they rely on their subordinates to get them through hard times.
Take Advantage

Your situation looks far worse than it is. Don’t be so quick to take the first new job you can find just to get away from your boss. Learning to adjust could be a career-enhancing experience. Incredible as it seems, your boss’s ineptitude could be a blessing.

For example, you have the chance to stand out by becoming an asset to your boss. The more you do and accomplish, the better it looks on your resume. It also scores points with management and potential employers.

Try these strategies for turning unfortunate circumstances into an advantage:

Cover in a Crisis: If your boss is away on a business trip or vacation and an issue requiring instant decision-making arises, you have two choices: either turn the problem over to a senior manager or make the decision yourself. Calling in senior managers makes your boss look bad. If you’re confident you can take over, you’d be wise to make the decision. Remember: Heroes are born in crisis situations.

Compensate for Deficiencies: It’s to your advantage to discover your boss’s weak spots and help him in those areas. You want to be part of a winning team, and your boss is this team’s captain. You will get much further in a company if you associate yourself with successful projects. For example, an incompetent boss will struggle with complex ventures. Guide him through until everything is completed. You’ll look good by making your team look good.

Beware: Watch what you say about your boss. It’s very easy to complain and vent frustrations about your less-than-qualified boss to coworkers. Without realizing it, you could be talking to the boss’s good friend or someone who wants to score points with him. Keep your opinions to yourself.

Events8 Largest Gatherings In History (no 8 Will Give You Cold: Photos) by apeiron24(op): 4:58pm On Nov 10, 2016
1. Largest Gathering Overall

The Kumbh Mela festival is celebrated every 12 years at the conjunction of two sacred rivers on the outskirts of the northern Indian city of Allahabad. It draws massive crowds of devotees and foreign tourists who bathe in Indian holy river to wash away their sins over a two month period. During the last festival, about 120 million pilgrims participated overall, with a whopping 30 million on a single day, on February 10, 2013. (Source)


2. Largest Sports Celebration

An estimated five million people attended the 2016 World Series victory parade celebrating the Chicago Cubs — an incredible feat, considering the city only has 2.7 million inhabitants.

The Cubs won their first World Series championship in 108 years against the Cleveland Indians. Team players rode on double decker busses down streets lined with hundreds of thousands of screaming fans, traveling a seven-mile route in the downtown area to Grant Park, where a rally was held.

The Cubs parade is now the 7th largest gathering of human beings in one place overall. (Source)

3. Largest Strike

This strike in India may be the largest overall gathering, but the numbers have yet to be substantiated, so the record set by the Kumbh Mela festival still stands.

180 million public sector workers in India went on strike in September 2016 to protest Prime Minister Narendra Modi's push for privatization and other right-wing economic policies. "State bank employees, school teachers, postal workers, miners, and construction workers were participating, but the figure could not be independently verified," Al Jazeera reported.

4. Largest Anti-War Protest

On the weekend of February 15-16, 2003, some 10 million people participated in coordinated protests against the war in Iraq in cities all around the world. Rome had the largest anti-war rally in history and drew some 3 million people, more than the population of the city itself. One-and-a-half million people attended a rally in Madrid, and one million took to the streets in London. In the United States, demonstrations were held in over 200 cities, including one in New York that brought a crowd of 400,000. (Source | Photo)


5. Largest Concert Attendance

What do you think was most attended concert ever? Woodstock? (Maybe the most famous concert ever put on, but at half a million people, not even close.) Glastonbury? (No.) The Rolling Stones anywhere? (Sorry.)

OK, we'll tell you. A free concert staged by Rod Stewart on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on New Year's Eve 1994 attracted an audience of 4.2 million people and made it into the Guinness Book of World Records. (Source | Photo)

6 Largest Online Protest

Though it wasn't a gathering in the physical sense, its participants numbered in the millions. In 2012, more than 115,000 websites and over 13 million internet users participated in the largest online protest in history against two bills. At issue were the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate, both aimed at stopping Internet piracy. There were 10 million petition signatures, 3 million emails sent, 100,000 phone calls, and some 3 million messages on Twitter against the bills. (Source | Photo)


7 Largest Coronation Celebration

Queen Elizabeth II acceded to the throne on February 6, 1952, upon the death of her father, King George VI. She was 25 at the time and the mother of two young children under the age of four.

Westminster Abbey was closed for five months before the coronation so that the construction needed for 8,000 people to attend could be completed. But that was just inside — outside, 3 million people waited as Elizabeth was crowned Queen, with 20.4 million more viewers watching the festivities on TV. (Source | Photo)


8. Largest Funeral Procession

Largest Funeral Procession
C. N. Annadurai was the first Non-Congress Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in independent India and was beloved by his constituents. So much so, he was giving the moniker "Anna," meaning "elder brother." Nearly 15 million people attended his funeral in 1969. This record made it into the Guinness Book of World Records in 1984.
