She is the oldest verified Italian person ever, and one of the ten verified oldest people ever.[3]

Biography
Early life

Emma Martina Luigia Morano was born on 29 November 1899 in Civiasco, Vercelli, Piedmont, Italy, to Giovanni Morano and Matilde Bresciani,[4] the eldest of eight children (five daughters and three sons). She had a long-lived family: her mother, an aunt and some of her siblings turned 90, and one of her sisters, Angela Morano (1908–2011),[5] died at age 102.

When she was a child, she moved from the Sesia Valley to Ossola for her father's job,[6] but the climate was so unhealthy there that a physician advised her family to live somewhere with a milder climate, so she moved to Pallanza, on Lake Maggiore, where she still lives. In October 1926, she married Giovanni Martinuzzi[7] (1901–1978), and in 1937 her only child was born but died when he was only six months old. The marriage was not happy,[8] so in 1938 Morano separated from her husband, driving him out of the house; despite the couple's separation, they remained married until his death in 1978.

Later life

Until 1954, she worked at Maioni Industry, a jute factory in her town. She subsequently worked in the kitchen of Collegio Santa Maria, a Marianist boarding school in Pallanza, until her retirement at the age of 75.[4]

Morano was still living alone in her home on her 115th birthday.[9] When asked about the secret of her longevity, she said that she had never used drugs, eats three eggs a day, drinks a glass of homemade brandy, and enjoys a chocolate sometimes, but, above all, she thinks positively about the future.[10] Morano credits her long life to her diet of raw eggs and being single.[11]

In 2011, Morano was visited as part of a worldwide study conducted by George Church for Harvard Medical School of Boston, to study the secret of her longevity.[12] In December of that year, she was awarded the honor of Knight of Order of Merit of the Italian Republic by President Giorgio Napolitano.[13]

Morano became the oldest living person in Italy and Europe after the death of Maria Redaelli on 2 April 2013.[7] On her 114th birthday, she gave a short live TV interview to a RAI show.[14] On her 116th birthday, Morano received congratulations from Pope Francis.[15] She surpassed the age of Venere Pizzinato in August 2014 and Dina Manfredini (who died in the USA) in August 2015, to become the oldest Italian person ever.[16][17] On 13 May 2016, upon the death of American woman Susannah Mushatt Jones, Morano became the world's oldest living person and also the last living person verified to have been born in the 1800s.[19] On 29 July 2016 she was presented with a certificate from Guinness World Records recognizing her as the oldest person alive.[20][21]

Notes

^ The date listed here is the date verified by Guinness World Records and Gerontology Research Group. However, some sources, including in some cases Morano herself,[1][2][3][4] cite Morano's birthday at 27 November 1899, which would make her two days older.
^ Susannah Mushatt Jones died 12 May 2016 8:26pm EDT.[18] However, in Italy, where Morano lives, the date was already 13 May 2016 (CEST).

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Morano/

Now she is interesting. And kind of comical . I read that she claims being single is part of her longevity.

Or, they can do what I did and work two low paying jobs as I put myself through college to be able to do what ever the hell I wanted to do.

unhealthy and miserable relationship

You believed this part ^^^^^?

Are you asking how many on this site are bi- sexual... so you can judge how "normal/ common" that is?


NO...

cattle-lytic converters ..."

 The unskilled labor work force could  replace the illegal workers. (So they have health coverage).

Then the cries of poverty, racism and for Socialism will be intense.

But.. since this country has ALREADY  been set up for economic collapse and internal unrest/ martial law and WW-3
 they can't blame Trump... " He Inherited It"
And Obama will be laughing his as@ in Dubai or calling in the blue helmets, from his U.N. office - for a round up of the dissidents.


Happy New Year

While lecturing at the Dublin Lake Club, he noticed that an audience member was knitting a pair of socks while he spoke, Infuriated, Twain declared that he had never played second fiddle to a sock and left the room.

He was born and died when a comet passed, once noting: “I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year [1910], and I expect to go out with it.

Green Party Denounces Jill Stein for Helping Clinton

It looks like the jig is really, really up for Jill Stein.
It appears that the Green Party in general has not been thrilled with their Presidential candidate, taking money from George Soros to help Hillary Clinton continuing to try to somehow still edge out Donald Trump.
Stein’s latest two attempts have been debacles – namely filing lawsuits in both Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to try to cause drawn-out recounts in an attempt to have their votes voided at the Electoral College, which meets 20 days from now.
Someone named Martha Beale has commented that:
“In a letter penned by Green Party Senate Candidate Margaret Flowers, and signed by dozens of prominent GPUS members, the Greens have rebelled against the farcical ‘recount effort’ conducted by Jill Stein saying ‘while we support electoral reforms, including how the vote is counted, we do not support the current recount being undertaken by Jill Stein.’ “
“The reason for this is that as the author notes, ‘as a candidate, Dr. Stein has the right to call for a recount. However, we urge the GPUS to distance itself from any appearance of support for either Democrats or Republicans. We are well aware of the undemocratic actions taken during the primaries by the DNC and the Clinton campaign. Greens cannot be perceived to be allied with such a party.”
Technically, it is probably true that Stein could only be ejected from the party at a meeting of perhaps the Executive Committee of the party, however this is a very strong denunciation of the party leader by significant power blocks just under her.
It’s also interesting that the Greens - in general now - want to run from Crooked Hillary as far and as fast as they can.
