Neil Young Keep On Rockin In The Free World

Lyrics:

There’s colors on the street

Red, white and blue

People shufflin’ their feet

People sleepin’ in their shoes

But there’s a warnin’ sign

on the road ahead

There’s a lot of people sayin’

we’d be better off dead

Don’t feel like Satan,

but I am to them

So I try to forget it,

any way I can.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world,

Keep on rockin’ in the free world

Keep on rockin’ in the free world,

Keep on rockin’ in the free world.

I see a woman in the night

With a baby in her hand

Under an old street light

Near a garbage can

Now she puts the kid away,

and she’s gone to get a hit

She hates her life,

and what she’s done to it

There’s one more kid

that will never go to school

Never get to fall in love,

never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world,

Keep on rockin’ in the free world

Keep on rockin’ in the free world,

Keep on rockin’ in the free world.

We got a thousand points of light

For the homeless man

We got a kinder, gentler,

Machine gun hand

We got department stores

and toilet paper

Got styrofoam boxes

for the ozone layer

Got a man of the people,

says keep hope alive

Got fuel to burn,

got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world,

Keep on rockin’ in the free world

Keep on rockin’ in the free world,

Keep on rockin’ in the free world.

French minister ‘first from Europe’ to visit Africa’s Ebola-hit region – France 24

“I’m the first European minister to set foot” in the region since the start of the epidemic, Girardin told FRANCE 24’s sister station RFI in an interview ahead of the trip. “France can be proud,” she exclaimed.

Girardin’s visit follows a call from the World Health Organization (WHO), urging the international community to respond more quickly to stop the epidemic from spiraling out of control.

“I’m going to Guinea first to say that France is with them. And that’s not an insignificant message,” she told a news conference in Senegal’s capital, Dakar, on Friday.

“It’s also an important message to say that there are behaviours to adopt, that there are health systems that are resilient and that can take on this Ebola virus,” Girardin said.

“This is the case here in Senegal, it is the case in Ivory Coast and, unfortunately, not the case in Guinea, where health systems have proved less resilient to this virus, this epidemic,” she said, adding that Guinea desperately needs an overhaul of its health infrastructure, but noted “for that we need resources”.

Humans of New York

“When I was fifteen, I was raped by three boys while competing at a gymnastics tournament. I was so ashamed, that I stood on a train track, and waited for the train to come. At the last moment, I tried to jump away. I woke up after a month. It was the middle of the night, and I could immediately tell that something was missing. I started feeling all over my body, and that’s when I realized that I’d lost my arm. Now I counsel teenagers who have been diagnosed with HIV. I’m normally the first to meet with them after they get their results. I try to explain to them that there’s a way out of even the most impossible situations.”

Man assaults woman jogging…who turns out to be a federal marshal

After allegedly attacking her by grabbing her behind and pulling down her shorts, Flynn took off running and the victim/federal marshal ran after him, the station said.

That is when victim yelled, “Federal marshal, stop!”

She caught up with him a few blocks away, cornered him, and when he resisted, she kicked him in the crotch, CBS Pittsburgh reported.

Flynn is suspected of lifting up another woman’s skirt earlier that day (a busy Tuesday of sexual assault for this guy!) and now faces charges of aggravated assault, indecent assault, and escape. It’s unfortunate that, in a culture in which harassment like this is disturbingly normalized, it often takes a chance encounter with an law enforcement agent — or dedicated teen girl runner — to bring guys like this to justice. But still, I’m enjoying imagining his face when he heard “Federal marshal, stop.”

Jane Fonda Narrates New Documentary “Becoming California” | Jane Fonda

When I was asked to narrate the California Legacy Project’s documentary “Becoming California” I jumped at the chance.

I’ve learned much about the makeup of the California landscape from its State Parks, having hiked in the Redwood forests and camped in Sequoia National Park among others, but I was surprised to learn there was much I wasn’t familiar with and even areas I thought I understood turned out to be far more unique and interesting than I ever imagined. I loved finding out about the geological histories that brought us what we see today— from the vast oil field that lay beneath what is now Los Angeles; to the the movements of tectonic plates.

By exploring California in three parts, “Becoming California” asks the question; Can nature and civilization coexist? What I like is that it rather than bringing gloom and doom there is a sense of hopefulness.  I was so moved that it was frequently hard to read some of the lines without tearing up. Because I was so impressed with the documentary and wanted my children and grandchildren to learn what I had learned. I gave them each a DVD set last Christmas.  I got advance copies, but now you can enjoy it too, watch the trailer here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8oRNXt7Xbc

Serena Williams proves doubters wrong at US Open and arguably heads greats | Kevin Mitchell | Sport | The Guardian

During one of Serena Williams’ not infrequent mood dips, she professed little or no interest in the fact that her occasional absences from the tour were hurting her chances of being ranked No1 in the world. She was not that bothered, she insisted to a sceptical press room at Wimbledon a few years ago and the unspoken truth was that, whatever the rankings said, she was the best in the world anyway.

13 Reminders to Help You Deal with Haters. | Rebelle Society

{Took me ages to finally learn this – when I did, I could finally put away all the hurt one of my parents gave me – when I was not the real target of the hurtful comments}

5. Don’t take it personally. Don Miguel Ruiz’s second agreement states: Don’t take anything personally.

“Whatever happens around you, don’t take it personally… Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. All people live in their own dream, in their own mind; they are in a completely different world from the one we live in.

When we take something personally, we make the assumption that they know what is in our world, and we try to impose our world on their world.“
