This was asked in an interview :
  You sing sometimes quite serious and sad lyrics. Are you thinking about it?

– Yes. I understand English quite well, because I have attended English schools since I was very small. The text of “Gloomy Sunday” is sad. When I sing it so I think it reminds others that have it sad. About kids who are hurting. Mum has also explained to me the text says Angelina.

WASHINGTON, DC — House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) today announced that the House of Representatives – consistent with the House-passed resolution H.Res. 676 – has filed litigation over President Obama’s unilateral actions on his health care law:

“Time after time, the president has chosen to ignore the will of the American people and re-write federal law on his own without a vote of Congress. That’s not the way our system of government was designed to work. If this president can get away with making his own laws, future presidents will have the ability to as well. The House has an obligation to stand up for the Constitution, and that is exactly why we are pursuing this course of action.”

NOTE: On July 30, 2014, the House of Representatives passed a resolution authorizing the House of Representatives to initiate litigation to challenge President Obama’s decision to unilaterally change various provisions of the health care law. The suit filed today against the Health & Human Services (HHS) and Treasury Secretaries – a copy of which can be downloaded here – will address two Executive Branch actions:

Obama’s Immigration Action Has Precedents, but May Set a New One

Obama’s Immigration Action Has Precedents, but May Set a New One

By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVISNOV. 20, 2014

President Obama’s action to shield millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation and grant them work permits opens a new front in the decades-long debate over the scope of presidential authority.

Although Mr. Obama is not breaking new ground by using executive powers to carve out a quasi-legal status for certain categories of unauthorized immigrants — the Republican Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush all did so — his decision will affect as many as five million immigrants, far more than the actions of those presidents.

Mr. Obama’s action is also a far more extensive reshaping of the nation’s immigration system.

“The magnitude and the formality of it is arguably unprecedented,” said Peter J. Spiro, a Temple University law professor. “It’s fair to say that we have never seen anything quite like this before in terms of the scale.”

Senate Keystone “Yea” Votes Took In Six Times More Oil & Gas Money Than Opponents

by Sarah Bryner on November 19, 2014

Senate Democrats successfully blocked a bill Tuesday that would have approved construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. The controversial measure fell one vote shy of overcoming a filibuster, with 59 senators supporting it and 41 opposing. The vote followed the bill’s approval in the House by a much wider margin, with 252 lawmakers voting to advance the pipeline.

The vote largely fell along party lines. All Senate Republicans supported construction of the pipeline but they were joined by 14 Democrats, including three of the four Democrat incumbents who lost their re-election bids earlier this month. For Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), the bill’s main sponsor, the vote was considered an important test of her effectiveness in advance of a Dec. 6 runoff that will determine whether she keeps her seat. In the House, 31 Democrats crossed the aisle to side with the Republican majority.

House Republicans sue Obama administration over immigration

House Republicans have sued the Obama administration over steps President Obama took to put his health law into place.

The lawmakers say the president overstepped his legal authority.

The lawsuit was filed Friday against the departments of Health and Human Services and the Treasury.

Republicans voted earlier this year to sue Obama over his actions to unilaterally waive provisions of the law.

Democrats have said any suit would be a political sideshow and waste of money.

The suit comes hours after Obama said he was acting on his own on immigration — further infuriating Republicans.

Georg Friedrich Händel: Feuerwerksmusik, German Handel Soloists, cond. Holger Speck: great compositions/performances

Georg Friedrich Händel: Feuerwerksmusik (Fireworks music)

Ralph Joachim

Suite für Orchester in D-Dur, HWV 351
1.) Ouverture Adagio, Allegro
2.) Bourrée
3.) La Paix Largo alla Siciliana
4.) La Réjouissance Allegro
5.) Menuett I und Menuett II
Ausführende:
Deutsche Händelsolisten, Ltg. Holger Speck

Zu Händels “Feuerwerksmusik”:
Die “Music for the Royal Fireworks” (HWV 351) ist ein 1748 von Georg Friedrich Händel komponiertes Werk. Das Werk wurde am 27. April 1749 bei einem Feuerwerk uraufgeführt. Es ist eine Gelegenheitsmusik von gigantischem Ausmaß

Wie auch die Wassermusik ist die Feuerwerksmusik durch Zufälle in der Politik entstanden. Der britische König Georg II. wollte wegen des im Oktober 1748 geschlossenen Aachener Friedens zur Beendigung des Österreichischen Erbfolgekriegs eine riesige Feier mit großem Feuerwerk und Musik. Er beauftragte Händel damit, eine „Feuer-Musik” für den festlichen Anlass zu schreiben. Das gab dem Stück den englischen Originaltitel Music for the Royal Fireworks.

Die Feier sollte im Londoner Green Park stattfinden, daher ging Händel von einem großen Freiluft-Orchester mit einer typischen Bläser-Streicher-Besetzung aus. König Georg jedoch wollte ein Orchester ausschließlich mit Bläsern und Pauken. Händel aber wollte auch Streicher dazu haben.

Aus den Briefen des Grafen von Montague vom April 1749 geht hervor, dass sich Händel erst ganz spät dem Willen des Königs gebeugt hatte.

Handel’s “Fireworks Music“:
The “Music for the Royal Fireworks” (HWV 351) is a work composed in 1748 by George Frideric Handel works. The work was premiered at a fire station on April 27, 1749. It is an opportunity music of gigantic proportions

Like the Water Music is the fireworks music created by coincidences in politics. The British King George II. Was a huge celebration with a large fireworks and music because of the closed in October 1748 Aachen peace to end the War of the Austrian Succession. He commissioned Handel order to write a “fire music” for the festive occasion. This gave the piece the original English Title Music for the Royal Fireworks.

The celebration was to take place in London’s Green Park, therefore, Handel went from a large outdoor orchestra with a typical brass–string cast from. King George but wanted an orchestra exclusively with brass and timpani. Handel but also wanted to have strings.

From the letters of the Earl of Montague from April 1749 shows that Handel had until quite late bent to the will of the king.

Malnutrition a Global Problem

When we think of malnutrition, we typically think of undernutrition, but in truth the term refers to all types of bad nutrition, including overnutrition. With this definition in mind, a new report finds that malnutrition has become a serious public health issue for every nation in the world, with all but China having already crossed a “malnutrition red line.” Complicating the problem is the fact that about half of the world’s nations are grappling with both undernutrition and overnutrition at the same time.
