Save the last dance for me

You can dance every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile every smile for the man
Who held your hand ‘neath the pale moonlight

But don’t forget who’s taking you home
And in whose arms you’re gonna be
So darlin’, save the last dance for me, mmm

Writing | SoundEagle 🦅ೋღஜஇ

Choose simple words or expressions over complicated or convoluted ones. Be concise. Be parsimonious in the number of words used to narrate a given situation. Words are like diamonds: when set properly they sparkle beautifully; when overused they become tawdry and boring. Consider each word as a cost: fewer words, less cost… Source: Writing | SoundEagle 🦅ೋღஜஇ

Lebanon on edge: As crisis deepens, where to from here? – The Debate

Lebanon has seen the value of its currency plunge 85 percent in less than two years. Experts say the Lebanese financial meltdown could pose the biggest threat to stability since the 15-year civil war, which came to an end in 1990. More than half the population is now living below the poverty line. Wages have been slashed and prices are soaring. Adding to the despair, there seems to be no government plan in sight.

There have been growing signs of unrest in recent days: protesters have been setting up roadblocks and burning tyres. With the economic collapse, reported robberies are up 57 percent with people trying to steal food, baby formula or medicine. There’s also been an uptick in carjackings and the murder rate has jumped 91 percent in the space of a year.

Brazil hospitals buckle in absence of national virus plan – The Washington Post

Brazil’s hospitals are faltering as a highly contagious coronavirus variant tears through the country, the president insists on unproven treatments and the only attempt to create a national plan to contain COVID-19 has just fallen short.

For the last week, Brazilian governors sought to do something President Jair Bolsonaro obstinately rejects: cobble together a proposal for states to help curb the nation’s deadliest COVID-19 outbreak yet. The effort was expected to include a curfew, prohibition of crowded events and limits on the hours non-essential services can operate.

The final product, presented Wednesday, was a one-page document that included general support for restricting activity but without any specific measures. Six governors, evidently still wary of antagonizing Bolsonaro, declined to sign on.
