It’s All Mishegoss!
It’s All Mishegoss — Sunday #110
Ah! Sunday is here. For some it’s a day of rest and recuperation and others its work as usual. Either way, it’s Sunday and we have a newsletter for you.
Don’t you love Sunday’s? Don’t be shy let us know your real feelings about Sunday’s in the comment section. That’s the area below where you can click on a thumbs up or down to comment. It isn’t hard and we would love to hear from you, especially about things we need to do better to keep you reading.
It seems Amazon and the alcohol industry have a few things in common as you’ll see in the first two stories. Amazon is getting into wine making along with already being in the journalism industry with the purchase of the Washington Post. Now the alcohol industry is turning its attention to journalism to sway the publics opinion about alcohol. Bed fellow’s?
Two great articles on business. One on thinkings and one on cyclists. Imagine if these two ideas came together in one TED talk. Riding a bike and having great thoughts. It probably yourhappens all the time and we just don’t hear about it? But maybe if you read these two articles, you’ll set out on your own to accomplish great thinking while great riding? Go for it!
What would our newsletter be without two environmental articles, right? Another one on bees which is getting to be a larger problem than we thought and the other about Scotland and renewable energy. Maybe we can get like that one day?
Finally Hobby Lobby never read the 10 Commandments I guess? You know the one about Thou Shalt Not Steal! I believe they need to go back to Sunday school for a while.
Get ready for holographs to be our future. The first holographic phone lands in 2018. Imagine the price for that? Imagine the phone plan?
Ciao,

Alcohol industry isn’t just funding studies; it’s also funding journalism to sway public opinion — HealthNewsReview.org
www.healthnewsreview.org
Just four days ago, the New York Times reported, “Is Alcohol Good for You? An Industry-Backed Study Seeks Answers.” Because it was the day before the July 4th holiday, the story may not have received the attention it deserves, so we shine a spotlight on it here.
