Reports of an explosion near the Elizabeth train station near scene of investigation into suspicious package.
The investigation in New Jersey comes just a little more than a day after a large explosion in Manhattan

A New Jersey mayor said one of five devices found in a backpack near a train station has exploded while a bomb squad robot was attempting to disarm it.
Elizabeth Mayor Christian Bollwage said that the device exploded shortly after 12:30 am local time on Monday. The FBI was leading the investigation and working to disarm the other four devices.
There were no reports of injuries. Bollwage said to expect more detonations.Two men called police and reported seeing wires and a pipe coming out of a package after finding it around 8:30 pm on Sunday, the mayor said.
Al Jazeera's Tom Ackerman, reporting from one of the stalled trains in nearby Metuchen, New Jersey said authorities had "suspended all services on trains south and west of New York City because of reports of a possible live bomb had been found in a trash can at the Elizabeth station".

Elizabeth Mayor Christian Bollwage said two men called police and reported seeing wires and a pipe coming out of a package after finding it at about 9:30 pm on Sunday.
Bollwage said the Union County bomb squad's robotic device indicated the package the men left near the train trestle could be a live bomb, adding that the FBI and state police would decide how to remove the device.
New Jersey Transit told the Associated Press news agency that service had been suspended between Newark Liberty Airport and Elizabeth, and New York's emergency management department said that New Jersey-bound Amtrak trains were being held at New York Penn Station.

Premeir League Musings

The premier league 2106/17 season is coming to an end and what is probably on people's mind is who can stop Chelsea from winning the league and also where will Arsenal end up this season after making it seem for years that a top four finish was their birth right. Tottenham look on course to finish in a better position than last season  3rd place and also it could be the morale booster to go for the kill next season Liverpool should have probably won the Europa league last season and qualify for the champions league but at least we know with their consistent  stay in the top four they do have ambitions Pep Guardiola has  finally felt the sting of the English football, I wonder where he  will be next season because if he stays it will probably be his last chance to prove he is a tactician Arsenal are looking out of place in 5th position, do they deserve to be there, I don't know but I do know that if they end up out of the top four and do not wake up then we will them go

Facebook still tapping from snapchat features

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Snapchat should be tickled pink at this point by Facebook’s multiple attempts to emulate its style. In its latest attempt to “innovate,” Facebook is once again “borrowing” from the much younger social media platform, this time testing out a new feature that lets users take selfies and record videos complete with filters, effects, and masks, which can be shared in your News Feed. And oh yeah, they disappear in 24 hours too (assuming no one responds). Facebook isn’t making any attempts to hide this new Snapchat-esque addition either, placing it front and center in its main app for users in Ireland. Should it prove popular amongst the Irish populace, Zuckerberg may decide to go wide with the feature, introducing it to the social network’s 1.4 billion monthly users. While the feature has yet to adopt a formal name, it might as well be called Snapchat 2.0 — to access it, users (in Ireland) need only to tap on the camera icon in the top

It stands to a reason that the better we understand ourselves, the better we can align our lives with what makes us happier and live a more fruitful existence.As a trained life coach, I see a lot of people keento work out the good stuff to focus on; their strengths for example. But we are not so keen to look at our weaknesses. And no judgment here, I know it is not the easiest of tasks.But if you were feeling brave, and were wondering how to even begin identifying your weaknesses, then I have you covered. It is all about looking at your behavioral patterns. It is in your behavioral patterns You could have the best poker face in the world, or live in a big cloud of glorious denial. But nothing, and I mean nothing, gives away our weaknesses like our unconscious behaviors.Just to clear this up before we go any further; an unconscious behavior does not mean that
