1. numbers

   Poetry is that form of literature that embodies beautiful thought, feeling, or action in melodious, rhythmical, and (usually) metrical language, in imaginative and artistic constructions. Poetry in a very wide sense may be anything that pleasingly addresses the imagination; as, the poetry of motion. In ordinary usage, poetry is both imaginative and metrical. There may be poetry without rime, but hardly without meter, or what in some languages takes its place, as the Hebrew parallelism; but poetry involves, besides the artistic form, the exercise of the fancy or imagination in a way always beautiful, often lofty or even sublime. Failing this, there may be verse, rime, and meter, but not poetry. There is much in literature that is beautiful and sublime in thought and artistic in construction, which is yet not poetry, because quite devoid of the element of song, whereby poetry differs from the most lofty, beautiful, or impassioned prose. Compare METER.

   Synonyms:
   meter, metrical composition, poem, poesy, poetry, rime, song, verse

   Antonyms:
   prosaic speech, prosaic writing, prose

   While it is a sad reality of our time that incidents such as the Tucson shooting, the Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado Springs, the Boston Marathon bombings, the attacks in Paris and Belgium, and numerous others occur resulting in large numbers of casualties, injury also occurs intentionally in the home, in the workplace and during leisure activities, for all of these reasons, it is essential that hemorrhage control join CPR as an appropriate component of every citizen's knowledge base.

2. Philippe Gijsels:

   Too strong jobs numbers will spark rate hike fears and hit equities, while a weak figure will spook investors as they will doubt the strength of the economy. So either way, profit taking looks likely.

Just how many, that's what we'll be discussing in the coming year.

   I still think it's a little too soon to push the panic button, but having said that, we are not seeing the types of numbers with Hispanic voters that we should be seeing with the most hostile person to ever hold public office against Hispanics as the President, and that in and of itself is a concern. I'm flabbergasted.
