Rivers of London, Book 8.

Name's Punch. Full-time puppet, part-time private eye, and ALL trouble. When this dame, Judie, walked into my office I knew she was trouble, I just didn't know how much.
'Tis them pearly kings and queens what did it,' she said.
She had the sort of strings you just wanted to play on all day, if you know what I mean.
'It was them what stole the tarts.'
'Listen, Toots,' I said, 'I don't work divorces and I don't do moppets. This ain't no puppet show.'
She hit me over the head with an iron pan.
'What's this all about then?' I said when I came to.
'We need to establish an APCO on the HOLMES for the TLAs,' she said. 'Modern policing is all about establishing scene of cri-'
I stopped listening at that point.

#Löger ist ein Lobbyist privater #Pensionsversicherungen. Was er über das staatliche #Pensionssystem sagt ist schlicht falsch. Österreich kann es sich gut leisten, Menschen nach 40 Jahren Arbeit ihre #Pension auszuzahlen. Aber Löger will ein Millionengeschäft für Versicherungen.
Etwa 6 Prozent der staatlichen Ausgaben fließen in die Pensionen. Die Beiträge der Versicherten decken die Pensions-Auszahlungen immer besser. Für den Zeitraum 2016 bis 2020 werden vom Staat insgesamt 4 Milliarden weniger für das Pensionssystem ausgegeben als erwartet.
Misst man die staatlichen Ausgaben am BIP, zeigt sich: Der Anteil bleibt in den nächsten Jahren stabil – obwohl die Zahl der Personen, die ins Pensionsalter kommen, steigt.

I’m starting a thread to document things I find in the FISA warrants that were just released. These will be in the form of observations I make as I work my way through it. First of all, the 412 pages includes all four warrants and the associated documentation.
Secondly, the first thing that stands out to me is that the FBI perjured themselves in the application for the warrant. Why do I say this? Because it includes this.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

Let's talk about writing.
Back when I did that "top five" thing, @LMRodriguez asked me for my top five writing tips.

Because I was moving through the list quickly, I responded with this:
But in the spirit of writing and rewriting, I'm going to edit and expand those remarks.

And hopefully, other people will chime in with their own thoughts.

So ...
