BOB DYLAN WINS NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE

US singer, songwriter and artist Bob Dylan has been awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature.

The Noble Prize has always been won by literature writers and stuff, but Bob became the first singer and song writer to win the Noble prize. He also is the first American since 1993, after Toni Morrison,to win the Laurette prize.

This is possible because of his creativity in new poetic expressing with American song traditional.

Dylan's lyrics have incorporated various political, social, philosophical, and literary influences. They defied existing pop music conventions and appealed to the burgeoning counterculture.

The singer is due to perform later at the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT #NOBRADAY

The whole of October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, with October 14th also being the “Big Pink” – an event encouraging people to organize events and wear pink to raise money and awareness for breast cancer care.
So ladies take your bra off and examine yourself.

TRUMP'S PARTY, GOP ENDORSES CLINTON



Openly, dozens of the Republican Party members have lost faith in Trump’s ability to serve as a suitable fit for president.
The GOP did not endorse Clinton, but they insinuated that Trump lacks total presidential charisma, candor and so many oval office qualities.
Republicans who served top roles in George W. Bush’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) came out against Trump in a open letter.
“We believe in effective government, a society of hope and optimism balanced with realism, and a politics of civility and honesty. None of these values are present in Donald Trump’s campaign….
“From our experience in government and politics, we believe that his appeals to racial and religious differences, his unfounded charges and personal attacks against those with whom he disagrees, and his broad and repeated misuse of facts and data have damaged the future of our party and have undermined his ability to govern effectively, should he be elected,”
Not just did they black paint Trump, a majority of them defected. The defect has already been optimized by Clinton to push voters away from the GOP candidate.
In the open letter, 50 foreign policy experts who served in GOP administrations opposed Trump.

Ms. Allred said "I am disgusted by what Donald Trump said and admitted that he had done on that video. An apology is not enough."
Last week, Ms Allred released a statement calling on Mr.Trump to release his employees and former employees from non-disclosure clauses.
 "We need a President who respects the rights of women in the workplace not someone who creates a hostile and sexist environment for women who work and not someone like Mr. Trump who believes pregnancy is an inconvenience for employers; and who enables sexism.
"I call on Donald Trump to release all of his employees and former employees from their non-disclosure clauses so that they can tell the public what they suffered when they had the unfortunate experience of working for Donald Trump, and I urge him to promise not to retaliate against them if they tell the truth."
