Women make up just under a third of the membership for the New York bike-share program, and persuading more to join is seen as vital to its success.An early thing to learn is the adjustments that make the bike comfortable.

It’s time for Greece to Leave the Euro
The euro zone is only hurting itself by trying to keep Greece as a member.Families are not sovereign nations with the possible exception of the Windsors.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Windsor
Greece will be pushed from the euro by the intentional implosion of the Greek banks.
The exit will not be orderly.
Greece has already suffered the pain of depression.
Yes, it is time for Greece to leave the euro and build an economy.

Some Germans may remember in silence.
I was shown works of Leni Riefenstahl.

Argentine Judges Allowed to Resign After Child Abuse Ruling
The two judges had cut a convicted child abuser’s sentence in half because they claimed the 6-year-old victim had displayed homosexual tendencies.The Judges have shown themselves to be incompetent.
The means of their removal is immaterial.
The fact of their absence is what matters.
The prisoner will not survive with the "short eyes" label.
