Aboutme.SubinEarth - Changing Environment For Good

Changing Environment For Good.... I read Guy Spier’s book, The Education of a Value Investor: My Transformative Quest for Wealth, Wisdom, and Enlightenment , in a single sitting. The section of the book I was most interested in reading was on his charity lunch with Warren Buffett. While details of what transpires at these lunches are fairly scant, there is a whole chapter on it in this book. I tore into that chapter first, eager to find out the pearl of wisdom that eluded me. Finding no secret, I flipped to the front and fell into the story. I had the serendipitous pleasure of running into Guy at the Omaha airport earlier this year. What I loved about him – and his book – is that he’s open about his struggles. In a world where so many of us, myself included , are closed and guarded about things we don’t want other people to know or see, Guy is an open book. He has struggles. He’s human. He’s real. Things are not black and white. He didn’t come out of the womb fully ...

Aboutme.SubinPolitics - European Union Suspends Sanction Against Belarus

European Union Suspends Sanction Against Belarus... The European Union has suspended sanctions against Belarus following smooth elections there and the government's decision to release political prisoners. The E.U. said in a statement on Thursday that asset freezes and travel bans on 170 people had been lifted for four months. An arms embargo and restrictions on four others will remain in place. The 28-nation bloc said it would continue to monitor democracy and human rights in Belarus, leaving open the possibility that the sanctions could be permanently lifted. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko was re-elected earlier this month to a fifth term with 83 percent of the vote in polls that were boycotted by the opposition.

Aboutme.SubinFinance - Stopping Hillary Clinton

Stopping Hillary Clinton For Prez - Marco Rubio Marco Rubio continued to defend his missed votes in the Senate on Thursday, using the morning after a strong debate performance to argue that his spotty attendance record is all in the service of stopping Hillary Clinton from winning the White House. "As far as votes, I don't like missing votes, I hate it," Rubio said on CNN. "We do our best effort to make it—we've canceled campaign events, especially for important votes, and we will definitely be there for any vote in which our vote would be decisive on making a difference on the outcome." "Here's what I would hate more, and that is to wake up on the first Wednesday of November in 2016 to the news that Hillary Clinton has been elected President of the United States," Rubio added.

Aboutme.SubinFashion - Taylor Swift and Her Halloween Photo

Taylor Swift And Her Halloween Photo..... Before she was the biggest pop star on the planet, Taylor Swift was just a weird little girl who, like many of us, enjoyed dressing up in weird Halloween costumes. On Wednesday , she was kind enough to share a photo of one her best childhood costumes: Yes, that's a young Taylor Alison Swift dressed up as a Teletubby. The only problem with this costume, as she points out in the caption, was that this went down before the Teletubbies became wildly popular, so all the other kids wondered why she was dressed as "a yellow pregnant alien." Poor Tay-Tay. It's so tough being ahead of the curve.

Aboutme.SubinEconomics - China's One Child Policy Ends Now

China's One Child Policy Ends Now......... With China's one-child policy ending on Thursday after more than three decades, looking back to when—and why—the strict policy was first implemented shows us how China's demographics have shifted in critical ways. In the 1970s, many countries around the world were worried about population growth , but China, with its combination of a particularly large population and a powerful government, took an extreme approach to the problem. The country initially ran a successful birth control campaign under the slogan "Late, Long and Few," which cut population growth by half between 1970 and 1976. But, as the decade came to an end, that drop leveled off and the nation was still facing food shortages and fear of a repeat of the devastating famine that killed some 30 million people by 1962.

Aboutme.SubinFashion - Don't Criticize Frank O' Connors

Don't Criticize Frank O' Connors - Halo 5 Halo 5 's campaign didn't exactly work for me, this much I've written . Not in snobbery. I don't hate popular done-over-and-over-again things in principle, any more than I hate baseball, chess, or the Tour de France. As Stephen King put it in his National Book Awards acceptance speech , you "don't get social or academic brownie points for deliberately staying out of touch with your own culture." But popular doesn't entail safe, and Halo 5 's story, despite what I'm sure comprises an unfathomable amount of developmental work, feels too much like kicking back in the easy chair and putting your feet by the fire. Characters end the game as they began it. Even the twist at the end just feels like a tee-up for Halo 6 .

Aboutme.SubinPolitics: Who Won the Republican Prez Debate

 Who Won The Republican Prez Debate......   Republicans met for their third presidential debate on Wednesday , and we want to know who you think won the night. Take a moment to click the link below next to the candidate who you thought did the best at the CNBC debate in Boulder, Colo. This reader poll is not statistically representative of eligible Republican primary voters and is historically a poor measure of the actual winner of the debate. So what exactly does an online reader poll measure? It measures the number of different Internet-connected devices controlled by people who choose to click a button. The universe of people who choose to participate is self-selected. Candidates with a more energized fan base, or a more social media savvy fan base, tend to have an advantage. Donald Trump has won the last two TIME reader polls after Republican debates—not to mention countless other online surveys—a fact that he has often boasted about. This does not ...

Swift's countersuit asserts that prior to her show at Denver's Pepsi Center in June 2013, Mueller — who was at a meet-and-greet with his girlfriend Shannon Melcher — reached under Swift's skirt and grabbed her rear end.
