tv MSNBC Live With Velshi and Ruhle MSNBC November 8, 2017 8:00am-9:00am PST
we're going to bangladesh and a story we've been following on this show. a 4-year-old rohingya refugee who fled myanmar two months ago with thousands, this week the u.n. security council called on myanmar to stop its military campaign against the muslim minority group. the french ambassador calling this one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time. the photographer here for reuters. and thank you so much for watching this hour of msnbc live. right now more news with my colleagues ali velshi and stephanie rhule. >> always good to see you these days in the morning. we'll see you later today. good morning, everyone. i'm ali velshi. >> and i'm stephanie rhule. people voted yesterday. let's get started. >> we are back by popular demand. >> a very, very good morning for democrats. >> this is voters' first strong rebuke of president trump. >> virginia has told us to end the divisiveness that we will not condone hatred and bigotry
and to end the politics that have torn this country apart. >> trump tweeted, quote, ed gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what i stand for. >> in new jersey, another big win for democrats. >> new jersey sent an unmistakable message to the united states. we are better than this. >> donald trump was undeniably on the ballot in a number of races. >> the nation's first openly transgender elected official. danica roan knocking off one of virginia's most prominent social conservatives. >> who's ever needed someone to stand up for them when they didn't have a voice of their own because there's no one else who is with them. this one's for you. >> and it all comes exactly one year after the president was first elected. >> north korea is not the paradise your grandfather envisioned.
it is a hell that no person deserves. do not underestimate us and do not try us. >> the president attempting to pull off a surprise visit to the dmz. bad weather forced to abandon the mission. >> reaching out to democrats over the gop tax plan. calling 12 senate democrats from overseas telling them my accountant called me and said you're going to get killed in this bill. >> over the dysfunction in the senate. >> all right. democrats waking up to the hope of a major political comeback this morning. one year to the day after donald trump's stunning election as president left that party dejected and demoralized. >> hoping, but no victory laps just yet. in the first senate elections since the 2016 election, democrats won up and down the
ballot in hotly contested races. the big wins coming in virginia and my home state of new jersey with victories also in washington, new hampshire, maine, and georgia. as nbc first team puts it in perspective, it was a crushing move across the country. was it the trump effect? and what does it say about 2018 and more importantly 2020? >> let's find out. let's break down what happened first of all in the swing state of virginia. ralph nor tham beat ed gillespie for governor by nine points. this was the biggest gubernatorial win in this state since 1985. doesn't stop there. virginia democrats also swept the races for lieutenant governor, attorney general, and they took ten delegate seats. they've got a shot at winning control of the house of delegates now. the richmond times dispatch called it, quote, a tsunami election. according to nbc news exit polls, half the voters in virginia said that trump was a factor in their vote and they
oppose the president by a 2-1 margin. 34% oppose. 16% support. in the new jersey governor's race. democrat phil murphy beat republican kim guadagno. by 13 points. the exit poll shows that 63% of new jersey voters disapproved of the way donald trump is doing his job. it's also noteworthy in new jersey that the outgoing governor chris christie had the lowest popularity rates they've seen in that state for a very long time. in washington state, democrats appear to have won control of the state senate in a special election by winning just one seat. political newcomer manka dhingra led by double digits. in new hampshire, joyce craig will become the first woman mayor of manchester beating out ted gatsas. so it was a good night all
around for republicans. >> no, it wasn't. >> for democrats. >> there you go. >> whatever. i had a 50% chance of being right. right? either republicans or democrat hs a really good night last night. >> joining us now is garrett haake also along with cnbc editor at large john harwood. garrett, you say moderate republicans are panicking. what's the reaction on the hill today? >> reporter: well, that's not the reaction i'm hearing from senate republicans who've been trying very hard to put a fence around these races last night and say, look. new jersey's a blue state. they shouldn't be surprised about that. virginia is trending increasingly blue. so they're essentially trying to down play the results we've seen. but when you start talking to folks about the results in these down ballot races. virginia house of delegates. folks winning in places where democrats just don't win in the old dominion. they acknowledged there is this burst of energy on the democratic side. and it's going to be challenging
for their candidates particularly in places that democrats have traditionally won. so if you look ahead to 2018, you might be seeing places like michigan and pennsylvania. and places trump made competitive in 2016 all of a sudden looking a lot more complicated. on the house side, you did hear one sort of moderate republican scott taylor from virginia say, look. some of this goes to the president. he's got to tone down his language and rhetoric or it's going to be very difficult for republicans next year. history has sort of repeated itself in virginia where they go to the party out of power. and i think a lot of people are waiting to see how far down this can project if it goes all the way into 2018. >> picking up on that point, what's scott taylor said, you wrote today that voters just raised massive red flags for the gop's agenda which hadn't had smooth sailing until now. we also saw maine approve medicaid expansion in a rec
referendum going against its republican governor. more importantly across the country now for republicans who are now in some ways thinking that they're freer to break from the president's message? >> well, first of all on health care the fact that maine expanded medicaid by referendum, the fact that virginia has a chance now especially if democrats win the house of delegates to break through and expand medicaid there, that would take it to 33 states further entrenching obamacare. on taxes, what you saw is the big nor tham victory in virginia was fueled by high income suburbs outside of washington with a lot of white college educated voters who went overwhelmingly or much more strongly than they typically have for ralph northam. that sends a dangerous message for republicans who represent suburban districts in states like others to back away from that tax bill. especially, stephanie, because
many suburban republicans -- upscale suburban republicans would face tax increases from the republican bill. >> correct. i'm going to take the other side though and we could potentially see the state and local go away. we know how opposed it is. but could last night's big democratic win only fuse republicans together to force tax reform through even if they moderately oppose it. they've got to get a win here. if they don't get a win on the board, it looks like 2000 whatever year we're in, 17? >> we're in 17. no major legislation at all. >> well, you can't rule that out, stephanie. that's the argument that republican leaders are making. here's the challenge with the argument though. you've got a party that now has a deeply unpopular president with an increasing number of republicans speaking out against the president. and now many of those suburban republicans seeing that he's toxic in their districts.
what passing tax reform on a partisan basis requires is maximum party unity. they don't have that right now. and president trump fueled this unity after this election going after gillespie in defeat. so it is -- look. it's not impossible that they can do this. but if they did get rid of -- that's going to make the bill expand the deficit more. make it more difficult to get through senate rules. mean that the bill is going to increase the deficit in ways the deficit hawks are going to have. >> that's going to be the problem, garrett. >> john doesn't know when you disagree with me on the show, we're going to stop asking you questions. >> john, hold on a minute. garrett, to that point, john's point is valid. that if this thing becomes more
shall we say liberal or progressive, this tax bill which means giving those state and local tax deductions back to blue states where they don't have republican senators, that's not going to help the fiscal hawks on the republican side. >> fiscal hawks have thrown that out the window. they need a win. >> no. that's exactly right. when it comes over to the senate. that $1.5 trillion price tag isn't just a goal, it's a ceiling. that's what they have to keep the price tag under if this is going to comply with the senate rules that let republicans pass this with just 50 votes. so the shell game essentially, the moving and the sliding of the money here to keep that total under $1.5 trillion gets important when you move to the senate side. on the state and local fax deductions, look. this bill has been out for a week now and we've only seen six republicans in the house from the high tax states saying they will vote against it because of this. that's not enough to stop it. republican leadership feels that only six republican house
members are going to vote against this on the issue and maybe that's the total no vote, they may feel they don't have to address this at all because they can afford to lose six votes. they cannot afford to make this priced out of passing the senate. that's the bigger part of turning this into law. >> john, you can come back into the show if you want. >> nope, not today john. i thank you both for joining us. msnbc's garrett haake and cnbc's john harwood, our dear friend. thank you, guys. >> if i disagree with you, do i also have to go off the show? >> i've been trying to get them to put wheels on his seat for weeks so i can push him off. >> but they did put a lever on the seat so you can do this to me. >> let's keep it like that. also one of the big stories i want to focus on from election night. danica roem. she beat out bob marshall. she's held that seat for 26 years. >> that's not the most interesting part. the irony in this win is she
beat the guy who proposed the anti-transgender bathroom bill. he also describes himself as virginia's chief homophobe. >> so he lost last night. virginia what is it? for lovers? virginia didn't love that. also elected to virginia's house of delegates, chris hurst. he beat out joseph yost. >> his story is extraordinary. chris was a local tv news anchor whose girlfriend i'm sure you remember this was shot and killed while reporting live on television. and get this. the republican he defeated has an "a" grade from the nra. coming up later this hour, baer going the talk live to the newly elected chris hurst. >> and joining us now on set, of course -- >> the newly elected mayor or mayor to be of hoboken, new jersey. he is the first sikh mayor elected in new jersey beating out five other candidates in the race. he won last night despite this.
check out this ridiculous flier conducting him to terrorism. it was altered to look like it came from his opponent who strongly condemned the fliers. mayor elect, good to see you. congratulations. >> thank you for having me. >> this was no the only election in new jersey where we had these unidentified, false fliers that had racist overtones. in one area it was to make new jersey great again or something like that. >> in edison, new jersey, which has a huge indian population. >> you know, these fliers as reprehensible as they are are not reflective of the state of new jersey or the city of hoboken. >> absolutely not. >> we're a very diverse and welcoming community in hoboken. i'm honored and privileged to serve as the next mayor. i want to send the message that's not what hoboken is about. that's not what new jersey is about. >> we know that the sikh community has been targeted
since 9/11. we remember president trump himself saying that there were muslims cheering on the roofs of buildings right after 9/11. we know that's absolutely not the case. but what has it been like for the last few years for you and what drove you to run? i mean, just a week ago when we saw the terror attack right here in new york city in tribeca and that terrorist was from patterson, new jersey, there was a lot of fears from the muslim community there would be a backlash. >> yeah. it's a very different environment right now. and a lot of minorities are under assault. my campaign was based upon local issues. improve infrastructure, protect ourselves from the next superstorm sandy, fiscal responsibility, the basics. so it's important to step up and
stand up. >> i just want to say that. obviously sikhs are not muslims. >> good point about the fear that people have of those who seem to be different. i mean, the sikh community in america has been here in some parts for over a hundred years. >> correct. >> they were involved in the building of the railway out west. but you were no particular stranger to politics. one of the things in this paralyzed federal government that we're talking about is that more is falling to states and local municipalities to get things done. people actually like the relative lack of politicalization and fact people like you have specific policies to get done. what kind of things are you most looking to get done in hoboken? >> first focusing on the basics i just mentioned. but you're absolutely correct. with the national -- in washington, d.c., with, you know, the administration. the governors of the states and the mayors of cities to really be at the front lines of defending our rights as
citizens. so, you know, we are a welcoming community. we're very diverse. we want to work with washington, d.c., with the administration. but if there's ever an instance where the citizens of hoboken or people of new jersey have their rights under assault, it's our obligation to defend and protect them. >> very good, sir. thank you very much for joining us. >> new jersey and you, perfect together. >> you new jerseyans taking over. good to see you. >> the first sikh mayor in hoboken history. our other big story today, president trump is in china. coming up, he's set to formally meet with china's president today. arguably the most powerful man in this visit that he's making. why china matters so much to the united states not just in terms of national security but to you as well. >> and the late show's stephen colbert joked about the visit last night. here are the highlights. >> it's tough for trump to be overseas because that's where all the foreigners are.
it must have been tense since there was a mad man with nuclear weapons on one side of the border and on the other side, north korea. he didn't once use the term little rocket man. possibly because the man's little rockets can reach him over there. my experience with usaa has been excellent.
they always refer to me as master sergeant. they really appreciate the military family, and it really shows. we've got auto insurance, homeowners insurance. had an accident with a vehicle, i actually called usaa before we called the police. usaa was there hands-on very quick very prompt. i feel like we're being handled as people that actually have a genuine need. we're the webber family and we are usaa members for life. usaa, get your insurance quote today.

welcome back to "velshi & rhule." president trump is expected to step up the pressure on china
over its ally north korea in formal meetings with the president xi jingping today. >> issued a stern warning to north korea. he spoke before north korea's national assembly in seoul which is just 35 miles from north korea. >> the regime has interpreted america's past restraint as weakness. this would be a fatal miscalculation. do not underestimate us. and do not try us. i also have come here to this peninsula to deliver a message directly to the leader of the north korean dictatorship. every step you take down this dark path increases the peril you face. >> meanwhile, north korean
officials were reportedly watching his address closely telling cnn, quote, we don't care about what that mad dog may utter because we've already heard enough. earlier in the day, president trump tried but failed to visit the demilitarized zone dividing the two koreas. white house officials say the president's helicopter turned back because of the dense fog. it was the surprise attempt despite one senior administration official previously calling such visits, quote, a bit of a cliche. i'm speaking about sarah huckabee sanders. >> do you think they didn't know that mattis' nickname was mad dog? maybe they were talking about the secretary? anyway. when president trump meets with the chinese president, he's once again going to be alongside one of asia's most powerful leaders. china. it's a big country. population of $11.4 billion people. donald trump has been known to compliment and criticize china.
he's raged about the, quote, rape of the u.s. economy and what he calls the theft of american jobs. how much of that is actually true and why does it matter? let's take a look at trade. this is the big deal. trade between china and u.s. is estimated to be worth $648 billion last year. that makes china our number one trading partner. so far this year, u.s. exports to china totaled $91 billion. that's a 15% increase from the same time last year. good, right? well, take a look at that. $91 billion. this is what china sells to the united states. $365 billion. that's four times what the united states has made. it's all contributing to america's trade deficit. when you buy more than you sell, you have a trade deficit. despite the president's vows to narrow the gap between this and that. >> -- have to remember so different from a budget deficit. when xi jingping went to mar-a-lago in the spring sitting
next to ivanka trump the same day she got approvals for trademarks in china. he said there would be a hundred day review led by wilbur ross on that hundred day review. we never heard about it again. >> china sales to america are higher than they were. and partly -- >> we sent more beef after. >> china is the world's factory. it pumps out disproportionate shares of all sorts of things. iphones come from china. clothing comes from china. seafood. christmas lights as you're getting ready to, you know, color up your house. this stuff. everything. 60%, 80% of what you buy at walmart coming from china. >> you know who manufactures clothes in china? >> the trumps. >> correct. >> there's also national security by the way. china has the world's largest military. it seems key to solving the north korean crisis. china is also north korea's main ally. some willingness to condemn its
neighbor but done little to rein north korea in. and kwun of china's strongest alliances is with russia. they follow the lead on votes at the united nations security council. president trump's visit has brought other issues into the spotlight from climate change to human rights violations. china is e the number one green house gas emitter in the world. but it remains in the paris climate agreement. only america is not in the paris climate agreement or is pulling out of it. >> and china is actually addressing it. china is saying we have it, we own it, let's do something about it. and we're going in reverse. >> that's right. china is trying to contain it. for decades, by the way, china has come under fire for forced labor and as we know it continues to suppress free speech. so china does have some real human rights problems. what all this comes down to is money and power. china is so big and rapidly
changing that its actions ripple around the world. it's china that determines the price of the things we buy, what we earn at our jobs in some cases and even the quality of the air we breathe. china's rise on the global stage has shown many of its allies that it can be -- and this is important -- it can be a stable alternative to the united states. it's problpositioning china to as the leader. >> you said something so important there. china being a manufacturing force absolutely affects what we get paid for our jobs here. >> right. >> companies can have corporate tax reform, they can have tax cuts. but you haven't seen wage increases in a significant way. >> manufacturing jobs go to china or other places. >> correct. and as long as companies can manufacture overseas where labor is cheaper in places like china and we mentioned ivanka trump. we reached out months ago to her company and they said we have to focus on the bottom line. right now we don't have plans to
manufacture anything here. why? because it's cheaper to manufacture in china. that's not changing. remember the president had been calling china is currency manipulator during the campaign. then the decided, oh, forget it. they're not. you know why? they're not. >> yeah. all right. stand by. right now on capitol hill, senators are grilling current and former executives from equifax and yahoo on how billions of user accounts were compromised. we'll have the latest on the hearing and how they could have an impact on the rest of your life. >> glad they're testifying. right now in boston, we're awaiting an update in the kevin spacey scandal. any minute now we're set to hear from a former news anchor with new allegations against spacey. she claims he assaulted a loved one. you're watching "velshi & rhule" where else? msnbc.
yo, check it out dawg. that was just a'ight for me. i mean, you got the walk. you got the stance.. but i wasn't really feeling it. you know what, i'm not buying this. you gotta come a little harder dawg. you gotta figure it out. eh, i don't know. shaky on the walk, carriage was off. randy jackson judging a dog show. i don't know dawg. surprising. what's not surprising? how much money lisa saved by switching to geico.
wow! performance of the night. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth. if that isn't a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president, then what has our government become? i'm tom steyer, and like you, i'm a citizen who knows it's up to us to do something.
it's why i'm funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment. a republican congress once impeached a president for far less. yet today people in congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger who's mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons. and they do nothing. join us and tell your member of congress that they have a moral responsibility to stop doing what's political and start doing what's right. our country depends on it.
welcome back to "velshi & rhule." happening now on capitol hill, current and former top executives at equifax and yahoo are being grilled on the massive data breaches at their companies. >> it is the latest in a series of congressional hearings on the
hacks that exposed personal information from billions of accounts. yahoo admitted just last month finally that a hack in 2013 affected all 3 billion users. it's amazing. originally it said a billion were compromised. equifax says its breach which it says it discovered in july but didn't report until september exposed personal information of 145.5 million people. you know what that is? half of america. former head of equifax who resigned in the wake of the breach was asked about the potential consequences for those people. >> now he's got something, a black mark on his credit rating that is not real but has been placed there because of a data breach. and the poor little fella can't close on his house. this has huge consequences.
what are you going to do about it? >> mr. senator, there's no doubt that securing data is the core a value of our company. and i would also apologize deeply to the american public for the breach that we had. we let the public down. >> did he say he was going to donate his giant exit package? i didn't hear that when he said his apology. >> other people got exit packages from equifax as well. joining us now is senior editor for policy and politics at recode. tony, we didn't see marissa mayma maier there. she had to get subpoenaed. >> she definitely refused. her representatives said she stepped away from the company. yahoo was purchased by verizon. so they felt she wasn't the right one to testify. but the senate commerce committee was not having that. for a change, democrats and republicans found a reason to
agree with each other. they decided to subpoena here. while she ultimately chose to come on her own behalf, that is still active. she's testifying today. >> all right. hold on a second though, when it was recode that broke this, how big the breach was. and broke it because they were employees inside the company that were distressed over the secretive nature of how they were holding this down. company had no comment. >> yeah. and lawmakers are distressed by the way in which yahoo handled this and why it took so many months for this company to admit it suffered from yet another cyber attack. and once again when it admitted later it was tripling the number of users who had been affected by the security incident. >> shareholders are also -- you've got lawmakers distressed. shareholders were distressed every inch of the way since marissa mayer took away.
>> not just this hearing but at the other hearings and other companies that suffered from these breaches. it's whether there should be penalties for the executives who walk away with golden parachutes after these bad things happen. >> i'm going to share the number. she left with $187 million exit package. the company did not thrive in any way under her. and americans -- billions of people with yahoo accounts experienced a breach they had to deal with. and the ceo gets to walk away scot-free. >> that is a separate and important conversation. one we often have on the weekend show. but getting this kind of reward when you actually mess up this kind of thing is kind of interesting. what do we know about both these types of hacks and why people don't get notified of them y erl? >> we start by acknowledging what hackers got. with equifax, 145 million americans were affected and hackers were able to walk awe
with sensitive personal information. things like their home addresses. their driver's license numbers in some cases. credit card information and so forth. with yahoo, it was a little less. but hackers were able to access backup e-mail accounts and answers to individual's security questions. which is very valuable for hackers of this sort. they can then use that to break into other accounts on other websites. so it was a trove of data they walked away with it. but your other question was what happens when it comes to notification? what do companies have to say and when do they have to say it? the fact of the matter is there's -- they tell everybody when they ultimately suffer a breach. but despite breach after breach. target, home depot, equifax. things have not moved swiftly enough. >> be good if that's one of the outcomes here that we decide why and what circumstances people
should be informed. >> these hearings are massively important. the problem when you hear any of them, it's just lawmaker after lawmaker getting on their pedestal speaking, shouting, then you don't see a change. after this we need to see a change. >> tony, thank you for being with us. tony romm from recode. nice to have you in studio with us. stick around, everyone. right now republicans in the house and senate are working on their own tax plans and we are hearing about the big differences between the two versions. which deductions are at stake and what it could mean for your tax returns. and we're watching the markets for you this hour. right now the dow is off about 25 points. nothing to be made of that. it's about 0.1%. >> we are paying attention to saudi arabia. we're todaying attention to oil prices. that matters. >> we're worried about what happens to taxes because of the elections last night. that's why you're seeing a bit of a pullback on the markets. >> just a slight. stick around. you're watching "velshi & rhule"

i'm ginnwith chantix.smoking it takes a lot of planning to be a smoker. it's like when am i gonna be able to sneak out of here and go have a cigarette? i just knew i had to quit, and chantix was the method that actually worked for me. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures,
new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. thanks to chantix, i did it. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. many insurance plans cover chantix for a low or $0 copay. we've got breaking news out of boston. a new allegation of sexual assault against kevin spacey. right now heather unra is describing the alleged sexual assault of her son. >> as i'm reading these comments, they're stunning.
since late october, spacey has faced a growing list of harassment and assault allegations. nbc news has confirmed at least three other accusers. the fallout first began with actor anthony rapp told buzzfeed news of spacey's sexual advances towards him when he was just 14 years old. >> let's listen into this press conference. >> just want to let you know i'm here not as a journalist today and as a mom. in july 2016 actor kevin spacey sexually assaulted my son. it happened late night inside the club car restaurant and bar
on nantucket island. the victim, my son, was a star struck, straight, 18-year-old young man who had no idea that he famous actor was an alleged sexual predator. or that he was about to become his next victim. my son was not of legal age to drink alcohol. he told kevin spacey he was of legal age. but whether he was over 21 or not, kevin spacey had no right to sexually assault him. there was no consent. kevin spacey bought him drink after drink after drink. and when my son was drunk, spacey made his move and sexually assaulted him.
i want to make it clear, this was a criminal act. the room at the club car was very crowded. it was dimly lit. spacey stuck his hand inside i had s-- my son's pants and grabbed his genitals. this was completely unexpected and my son's efforts to shift his body to remove spacey's hands were only momentarily successful. the violation continued. my son panicked. he froze. he was intoxicated and kevin spacey was insisting that he come with him to a private after-hours party to drink even more. fortunately kevin spacey left briefly to use the bathroom. and when he was out of sight, a concerned woman quickly came to my very shaken son's side and
asked if he was okay. obviously she had seen something and she knew that he was not. she told him to run and he did. he ran as fast as he could all the way to his grandmother's house. where upset and afraid he woke his sister and the two of them called me in the middle of the night. and the next morning i joined my family on nantucket. nothing could have prepared my son for how that sexual assault would make him feel as a man. it harmed him. and it cannot be undone. he has tried his best to deal
with it. as he says, it's always there. and it continues to bother him. all of us have had sleepless nights and tremendous anger and anxiety. right now my son is worried but he's also confident that the time to act is now. he did not report the crime at the time. and that was largely because of embarrassment and fear. he knew the kind of attention that would result from making an accusation about such a public person. i could assure you this is not the kind of attention any person wants. certainly not the kind my son and family wants. but the climate in this country has changed now. thanks to the brave women and
all sexual abuse victims who have come forward with their accusations against harvey weinstein and other sexual abusers. last week my son filed a police report and handed over evidence to the nantucket police. and now a criminal investigation has begun. he's committed to doing -- >> my god. >> wow. >> kevin spacey can't remember what happened with anthony rapp 26 years ago, how about with heather's son in 2016? >> msnbc has reached out to spacey but haven't heard back. we want to bring in danny cevallos for more on this. what are you making of this? >> this is another classic allegation of indecent assault. which almost every state has as a crime. and it involves any unpermitted, unconsented touches for sexual gratification. massachusetts has this law. the statute of limitations would
be six years because this individual it appears he was 18 or over. if it was a child under 14, it would be unlimited. there would be no statute of li limitations. it would be six years. but that would be paused if they don't live in massachusetts. the bottom line is if it was 2015, 2016, there's no statute problem. and these cases frequently involved -- the evidence has one person's testimony against the other. nobody else may have been around. >> how common is it when you see heather's son here who's only 18 and she said he lied about his age and he was drinking under aged. how common is it that the victim is afraid to come forward because they don't want to get in tr you believouble? he didn't put himself in a position to be attacked. >> it's common even if the victim is doing nothing at all that they might get in trouble for. if you add onto the fact he
might have been drinking under 21 and thought he might get in trouble, i mean, this is the kind of thing you wouldn't expect a victim to report. there are so many studies, so many kinds of -- so much evidence that victims frequently blame themselves and don't come forward and talk about these things. however, the law also recognizes sometimes that a delay in reporting can be evidence that goes against credibility. >> yeah. and now we've seen the reporting in the harvey weinstein case that private investigators are hired to dig up dirt on come play tants which gets into your psyche. if you realize you're going up against somebody in a position of power, there are a lot of forces against you. >> listen, i don't want to invite this criticism, i don't want to invite the drama. >> that's not really the fault of the law. the law cannot correct the problem which is anyone that comes forward as a victim whether it's a sexual assault or any kind of assault is necessarily going to be put in the crucible of cross
examination by someone. >> culture is the problem. here's the good news. we can change it. danny, thank you so much. coming up next, a stunning story from last night's election. chris hurst just won a seat in virginia's house of seat in virginia's house of delegates on a platform to reduce gun violence. >> you might remember him. his girlfriend was shot and killed while reporting live on television. the republican he defeated as an "a" grade from the nra. we'll speak to chris next. so that's the idea. what do you think? hate to play devil's advocate but...
i kind of feel like it's a game changer. i wouldn't go that far. are you there? he's probably on mute. yeah... gary won't like it. why? because he's gary. (phone ringing) what? keep going! yeah...

welcome back to "velshi & ruhle." an upset win in the house of delegates is making international headlines this morning. democrat chris hurst, a former tv anchor, running his first political race unseated joseph yost, the three-term republican incumbent. you may have seen hurst before even if you don't live in virginia. >> his girlfriend and fellow coworker, allison parker, was shot and killed on national tv in 2015. allison's death prompted hurst to run for office, his platform including gun violence prevention. chris hurst joins us now via skype. chris, ali was talking about the upset. you're one person who is definitely not upset today, but is this win a bittersweet moment? you never would have pursued a career in politics had allison still been with us. >> you know, i really haven't been able to give too much
thought to that question, steph, but yeah, it really is very bittersweet. obviously i wish that i was still with allison and was still a journalist working at the television station that we worked at together, but that wasn't the plan that god had intended for me and for her, and so i sought about trying to forge a new path and create a new plan. >> i remember the day it happened. i remember feeling so stunned and shocked, as we do with each one of these horrible gun killings. tell me how this worked for you. how did you get from that day to the idea that you would run for office, and what do you plan to do with that? >> well, i tried very hard to go back to the television station and do the kind of reporting and do the kind of investigative journalism that i was so proud of and enjoyed so much here in southwest virginia in
appalachia. but the emotional toll of going into the television station became too much for me. i knew about, geez, almost about a year ago now that i needed to make a change for myself to help myself emotionally, but i didn't want to leave southwest virgi a virginia, an area that gave me so much happiness. i need to do develop new habits, a new routine. it was around that time i settled on glassburg and a whisper in my ear told me i might be suited for politics and a way to get back and directly serve the people of our district here in the new river valley. >> you made a very powerful statement when you said, i'm not running for allison. i don't want your sympathy. i'm running for you, the people of virginia. i got to ask, how did you win? i mean, it was just a few months ago that charlottesville took place, a place where neo-nazis
were the outright thought they should convene and hold hate rallies and shout racial slurs. how did we go from charlottesville to you winning? >> first off, i think my district is not what some people think is stereotypically appalachian or rural. it has the campuses of virginia tech and radford university. at virginia tech we have more than 100 countries represented in the student body and the faculty. it's a very diverse district, it's a very welcoming district, and so it was a democratic district that we thought we would be able to be successful in, and certainly we were able to win this victory. >> let's talk about guns and gun control. you ran against somebody with an "a" rating from the nra. that's not unfamiliar territory in virginia. what are your views on guns and
what level of control can be helpful to preventing these kinds of deaths? i think we may have lost our audio. do you still have us, chris? okay. i think we've lost our audio to chris hurst. he is a newly elected virginia delegate. thanks for joining us, chris. >> what an emotional win. >> unbelievable. in light of the ongoing fight against charlottesville, we want to introduce you to m monumental americans who deserve a statue. today it's dorothy height. >> she became the president of national council of negro women and served as president there for four decades. she fought for voting rights, integration and improved conditions for domestic workers.
in the 1990s, she shifted her work, calling on african-americans to fight against drugs, illiteracy and unemployment within their communities. >> she received the presidential medal of freedom in 1994 from president bill clinton and the congressional gold medal from president george w. bush in 2004. height died in 2010 in washington, d.c. she was 98 years old. a life well lived. >> without a doubt. if you have a monumental american in mind, tweet us, #velshi&ruhle. there are so many americans that don't get attention. >> it's the bernie sanders pafrt of the sh -- part of the show, meeting these people i didn't know about in most cases. some of them i did, some of them i didn't. thanks for watching "velshi & ruhle." i'm ali velshi. >> i'm stephanie ruhle. now we hand you over to andrea mitchell for "andrea mitchell

Arriva has launched a new minibus service in Kent called ArrivaClick. The on demand service takes multiple passengers heading in the same direction and books them into a shared vehicle. EVM converted Mercedes-Benz Sprinter based minibuses from London Hire are used to run it. The operator created the specification with the hire company, which provided the lease package, with EVM building the vehicle.
ArrivaClick works via an app for iPhone or Android, with users selecting pick up and drop off points and being guaranteed a seat. It currently operates between Kent Science Park and Sittingbourne station on Monday to Saturday from 06.00 to 19.30. The vehicles have a maximum capacity of 12 and are equipped with leather seats, Wi-Fi and charging points. No cash is needed, with passengers being able to pay using their phone when booking a journey. Arriva plans to widen the geographic area of the service.
It was developed in partnership with US transportation solutions firm, Via, which provides dynamic shared ride services in New York, Chicago and Washington DC. The company has provided a custom built rider app, the Via driver app and backend technology to power the service's routing and dispatch functions. It features an algorithm designed to enable passengers to be picked up and dropped off in an endless stream, without taking riders out of their way to accommodate other passengers, enabling the platform to move a high volume of riders while using a fraction of the number of vehicles utilised by other on demand car services.

Q: Apple IAP Subscription Renewal Detection (iOS7+ receipts) First off, this question pertains to iOS7+ receipts so all the questions/answers on SO which refer to latest_receipt and latest_receipt_info are not applicable (as they have been deprecated and are going away). It seems that the bulk of the knowledge base about renewing subscriptions on SO is from 2011 and 2012 so is misleading and providing incorrect information for current specs.
I know when my user's current subscription expires. I want to know if they renewed it or not. According to Apple when their subscription is renewed:

After a subscription is successfully renewed, Store Kit adds a
  transaction for the renewal to the transaction queue. Your app checks
  the transaction queue on launch and handles the renewal the same way
  as any other transaction. Note that if your app is already running
  when the subscription renews, the transaction observer is not called;
  your app finds out about the renewal the next time it's launched.

That all makes sense. So now the obvious question, which Apple does not address, is how do I determine if the subscription was renewed if the user does not close the app and relaunch it (which causes StoreKit to send the app the transaction to process)? If the user leaves the app open for a long period of time the transaction will not be received but I can't continue to provide the content because the expiration date has passed. In theory a user could leave the app running for months without relaunching.
Is the answer to call [NSBundle mainBundle].appStoreReceiptURL to get the receipt myself and then validate it? Will this provide the updated receipt? And then when the transaction arrives from the StoreKit queue on next launch just process that same receipt a second time (since there is no real way to ignore it)? This seems very kludgy. If we have to get the receipt ourselves in some cases, why bother sending it to us via the queue at all?
Any thoughts on the correct workflow?

A: If you verify the device's onboard receipt using Apple's verification URL, the JSON response will contain at key 'latest_receipt_info' an array representing an up-to-date list of transactions for this Apple ID. This list will include any renewals that have taken place since the last time the StoreKit transaction queue was updated. I.e. you can do this at any time, either from the device or from your server, to find out about any renewal/s, and you only need to watch the transaction queue to find out about the user's initial purchase of the subscription.
This SO answer is very helpful concerning the ambiguous language in Apple's docs that seems to have left so many of us confused: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35912565/492075

Preparing for the Millennium
Merchant power plants operate without conventional power purchase agreements. Therefore the most efficient power plants, operating with the latest technology, stand to generate the most profit. It is against this background that US Generating Company chose to build an advanced combined cycle plant in Massachusetts known as the Millennium Project.
The advanced turbine combined cycle plant is uniquely capable of responding to a market driven by a strong economy, increasing demands for power, high electricity prices in certain markets, falling reserve margins and the divestiture of generating assets. This combination of forces is particularly evident in the USA, where the need for low-cost generation in some parts of the country is extremely high, with demand propelling sales of power to levels as high as $7000/MWh. With the availability of merchant plants in the Northeast comes the ability to sell generated electricity at whatever price the market will bear due to this overwhelming demand.
Merchant+Massachusetts = Millennium
Because merchant power plants operate with some or all of their output at risk, uncommitted through conventional power purchase agreements, independent power producers are filling the need created by the deregulation of the power industry. Therefore, the most efficient power plants – operating with the latest technology – stand to generate the most profits. For example, Bethesda, Maryland-based US Generating Company (USGen) purchased 4000 MW of divested generating capacity from the New England Electricity System, and proceeded to augment this purchase by expanding its merchant construction programme. (The company currently has plants under development in various areas throughout the US, including California.)
The Charlton, Massachusetts plant, called the "Millennium" Project, is a 360 MW combined cycle facility using a Siemens-Westinghouse 501G gas turbine. The plant, scheduled to begin commercial operation in June 2000, will enable USGen to become a strong market power in the region with the ability to provide power at prevailing market prices into the grid.
"There were two key factors in identifying the site at Charlton," explains Gary Lambert, Vice President of Development for the Northeast Region for USGen. "First was its proximity to electric transmission. With the Millennium plant in the heart of the New England Electric Transmission System, it sits at the very hub of the power system for all of New England. Second was its proximity to a main gas pipeline. In this case, it`s the Tennessee Pipeline – the major pipeline for Central Massachusetts."
New England presents its own set of challenges because its permitting process is intricate and complex. "Perhaps the most important of our concerns was acceptance at both the local and state level," Lambert continues. "Because of New England`s political climate and concentrated population, a long-standing process of determining what, if any, impact each new generating facility will have on the electricity transmission grid is in place with a variety of interrelated pieces which must mesh together to ensure approval. Here, the Millennium plant successfully negotiated the process of conducting a system impact study and by agreeing to upgrade the transmission system as necessary to fully integrate the plant in accordance with its New England Power Pool approval," he concludes.
Environmental concerns produced other obstacles in the development of the plant. Nearly one-half of the site`s 120 acres was set aside as permanent conservation land to be used as a habitat for the endangered spotted blue salamander. In addition, special permitting was necessary for the plant to utilize waste water effluent from the Southbridge Water Treatment Plant as wet cooling.
A growing portfolio
USGen, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PG&E Corporation, is one of North America`s premier power generation companies, serving both wholesale and large industrial customers. USGen, through affiliates, has ownership and management interests in a $6 billion portfolio of reliable and efficient generating assets representing more than 7000 MW of capacity. Currently, it has more than 4500 MW under development for merchant sales into the competitive power market.
The Millennium Project is one of the first highly efficient combined cycle merchant plants in New England which the company has developed to displace older, less efficient and less environmentally-friendly plants to capture anticipated load growth. The $200 million, 360 MW, natural gas-fuelled power plant is part of a new wave of merchant power plants in New England and the country being built to sell power as a commodity in the competitive marketplace without relying on long-term contracts. Millennium will compete to sell the plant`s electricity on a wholesale basis to local utilities and power marketers who, in turn, will sell it to industrial, commercial and residential electricity customers.
Making the pieces fit
The majority of merchant capacity is gas-fired, often in a combined cycle arrangement, because of a low installed cost, short construction time and higher efficiency than coal-fired and oil-fired units. Gas turbine units are an attractive choice for power producers, offering a high degree of flexibility in providing cost-effective power in all capacities.
The main plant components are the 501G combustion turbine; a three-pressure natural circulation heat recovery steam generator; and a 120 MW axial flow two-case condensing steam turbine.
For the Millennium Project, USGen tapped Siemens-Westinghouse for its time-proven combustion turbine. Siemens-Westinghouse`s 230 MW, 60 Hz 501G was particularly attractive to USGen because of its low capital cost and low fuel consumption. An evolutionary design in the company`s combustion turbine product line, the 501G features a two-bearing rotor, axial exhaust, cold-end drive, individual combustors and other time-proven features that provide high reliability. Enhanced by the latest technology airflow design and a reputation for world-class efficiency, the combustion turbine was a perfect fit for USGen`s needs.
"USGen came to us with the knowledge that we had an advanced, high-efficiency gas turbine that met their needs and they asked us to provide them with preliminary information. Immediately afterward, we entered into negotiations on a term sheet," explains marketing manager John Wilson. "They were already aware of the 501G`s capabilities, having done a due diligence on the technology for a prior project that never materialized. They still had the comfort level and intimate knowledge of our product, and decided it was a good fit."
One of the driving issues here is the efficiency of this plant. Its level of efficiency is 50 per cent greater than the existing generating assets in New England. Emissions are 3.5 ppm on NOx and 4 ppm on CO. With numbers such as these, Millennium is the most efficient and most environmentally benign plant in New England.
This high level of efficiency is a direct result of gradual improvements to Siemens-Westinghouse`s 501 series. The 501G combined cycle plant employs a highly integrated cycle which is designed to achieve the highest practical plant output and efficiency while simultaneously meeting the requirements of several cooling systems.
The 501G combustion turbine features steam-cooled combustor transitions which require a reliable source of intermediate pressure steam. The cooling steam is supplied from the intermediate pressure section of the Nooter HRSG – one of the largest three-wide (three modules wide), modular units in the world – and returned to the intermediate pressure steam turbine as hot reheat. The balance of the intermediate pressure steam developed in the HRSG (not used for cooling) is mixed with the cold reheat prior to entering the reheater section of the HRSG.
The system also includes two separate streams of air extracted from the combustion turbine compressor which require cooling within the cycle. The cooled air streams have the important function of cooling several stages of rotating blades, vanes and the turbine rotor. The 501G combustion turbine has a higher pressure ratio and firing temperature than the 501F in order to achieve enhanced efficiency.
Due to these characteristics, and the desire to minimize the cooling air flow extracted from the turbine to maximize the compressor flow to the combustor for stable combustion with the lean pre-mixed system, the temperature differential of the cooling air is high. The most efficient way of capturing this cooling air energy within the cycle was to do so in multiple stages in a manner which paralleled the HRSG steam systems. Two kettle-type reboilers (a flooded vessel with heating on the tube side) are included within the cycle for this function. The kettle boilers utilize the cooling air energy to produce steam in parallel with the HRSG intermediate pressure and low pressure steam systems.
An additional feature which is included in the cycle to enhance plant efficiency is the fuel gas heater, which uses water from the intermediate pressure system of the HRSG to heat the fuel gas in excess of 204°C (400°F). Subsequent to heating the fuel, this water is recirculated to the condensate system. The CT cooling steam system, the cooling air system and the fuel gas system are all linked within the cycle. The HRSG is the cycle component which links these systems together.
"It is how the 501G fits into the cycle and is meshed with the HRSG to achieve the overall plant efficiency that makes the cycle unique," explains Michael McManus, strategic and product development engineer. "It is the next level of integration between combustion turbines and the combined cycles they fit into." For example, traditional single cycle steam plants approach 38 per cent efficiency, while the 501G is capable of 58 per cent efficiency. "This advanced combustion turbine of ours is more efficient than any other in the world and it produces exhaust energy that creates a thermal cycle that`s more efficient than any other cycle," Wilson adds. "Not only is the engine more efficient, but it provides more waste energy – higher grade waste energy – that makes the whole plant more efficient," he concludes.
"In the merchant market, the least cost units are turned on – dispatched – first, and the highest cost units are dispatched last," Lambert explains. "To put a new unit in a system, depending on the efficiency of the plant and its operating cost, which is directly proportional, it tells you where it goes in the dispatch "curve". So this unit will go to the bottom of the dispatch curve…the first turned on and the last turned off against the need in the area."
The Millennium plant is completely new from the ground up. This provides maximum flexibility in tailoring the pieces to fit together as a cohesive unit for peak efficiency, since it ensures more compatibility and smoother operation than a retrofit or renovation of an existing system. Siemens-Westinghouse provided USGen with a "thermal island" which integrates the combustion turbine, the steam turbine and the heat recovery equipment so that what USGen gets is a guarantee for the performance of the system rather than individual components.
Siemens-Westinghouse`s thermal cycle worked with USGen specifications to conform to manufactured equipment. Bechtel, the engineer constructor, is basically building the plant around the thermal island. With a long-term parts and maintenance programme signed along with the power island contract, Siemens-Westinghouse takes responsibility for repairing and replacing parts as necessary on USGen`s schedules, thereby guaranteeing operating costs for the company to help protect their investment. "It`s our guarantees that the thermal cycle works that make the project financeable," explains Wilson. "This is the engine in the race car. It still comes down to the fact that USGen picked the 501G because it was the most advanced gas turbine on the market and could be delivered on their schedule."
Critical timing
Contracts for the Millennium Project were signed in February and development began shortly thereafter in preparation to meet the project`s mandated completion date. June 2000 is a critical date for the plant to go on-line, due to the power demands of the region it serves. In the merchant market, capacity is more valuable than energy, and given that the New England market is a summer peaking market, capacity tends to be more valuable during the summer than the rest of the year. Therefore, being on-line June 1 is tremendously more important than being on-line September 1.
And that dictates that the Millennium Project lives up to its name, ready to meet the challenges of the 21st Century.

The Game That Made Me Cry
Tags: #ancel #beyond-good-and-evil #beyond-good-and-evil-2 #cry #games-i-own #jade #sad
Companies: #ubisoft
Beyond Good and Evil is one of those games I have to actually restrain myself from talking about – and anyone who knows me will confirm that it's very rare for me to be prevented from talking, so I guess that's saying something. No pun intended.
Giving myself free reign for a minute or two though, Beyond Good and Evil is probably one of the best games I've ever played, though it bears the distinction of being one of the only games I can say that about but have only actually finished once. Unlike the other games on my list of favoured titles (Planescape, Sands of Time, etc), once is enough when it comes to Beyond Good and Evil. It also has one of my favourite game trailers ever.
Beyond Good and Evil has a more unique distinction though, one which is a whole lot more damning and which I can't recall ever really writing about in detail before. Beyond Good and Evil is the only game that's ever made me cry. I've got misty over a lot of games – but Beyond Good and Evil pushed me over that breach and made me actually start sobbing.
I'm going to explain why now, so if that idea interests you and you think you might be interested in playing Beyond Good and Evil at some point then I implore you not to read any further. There be spoilers beyond!
BG&E is set on the planet Hillys, which is an idyllic little countryside that's being besieged by an alien race called the DomZ. Who the DomZ are and where they come from isn't explained, but we do know that they are fighting with a galactic army called the Alpha Section – an army that may not be as helpful as it seems.
The player is cast as Jade, a young human photographer who works with her uncle Pey'J to run a small orphanage for children whose families were…taken…by the DomZ. That's the word Jade uses; taken, not killed, but it's implicit that she's saying it that way just to avoid hurting the children.
Gradually, Jade and her porcine uncle Pey'J (literally, a talking pig) become involved in an underground movement that suspects the Alpha Sections of foul play. Jade is enlisted as a spy for her photography skills, which play a big part in the mostly non-violent game, and Pey'J comes with as the duo investigate what's going on exactly. Jade is mostly pretty sceptical, but she needs the money to keep the orphanage open.
Jades motives change utterly though when Pey'J himself is taken. He's the type of loud, loveable character that you instantly sympathise with; a source of comic relief and great depth – so when he's gone it's crushing how the tone of the game suddenly shifts. Jade makes it the aim of the game to find him and it's an aim you want to fulfil too, especially as Jade delves deeper into the conspiracy and gets closer to the startling truth.
That isn't what made me cry though. To understand what did, it's important to remember that Beyond is a very cartoony game; it has a very kid-friendly interface, no gore, no swearing, a happy palette and lots of talking animals. It's like Lego Star Wars in how it comes across as more of a well-made kids game than anything, even though you kind-of suspect that it isn't a kids game at all.
For me, that had a rather unique effect. I was playing the game and trying to find Pey'J and hearing Jade talking about how the DomZ were 'taking' people and I was thinking how silly it was.
The whole idea of the DomZ is that they are killing all these people, orphaning all these kids, turning people into monsters and so on, and yet somehow Pey'J is supposed to be different? He shouldn't be, of course, but Jade's attitude and the way the game is presented lead you into the obvious expectation that you'll save him just in the nick of time. Like how Dr. No should have just shot James Bond, but didn't because it's a film, you know Pey'J should be dead but of course he isn't. It's a game; you're going to save him in the nick of time.
Except you don't. When you finally catch up to Pey'J it's apparent that the nick of time was a long time ago. He's dead; cold. Your mission was futile, you can't help him now and you never could. It suddenly falls home that this isn't a game - this is a war. That made me start crying right there in my basement flat. People can make fun of me for that, but I don't mind.
The story takes some turns from there, but for me that was one of the emotional highpoints of my gaming history. I felt winded. The game had blindsided me; the whole point of it all was to rescue Pey'J and yet when you get there not only can you can you not save him, but you don't even get a chance to try! There's no boss who you try to fight, no final soothing words imparted as Pey'J slips bravely into the afterlife – he's just dead, on a slab. Worse, he died alone.
That hit me like an emotional sledgehammer and, frankly, it raised the bar and changed the way I look at games. It's one of the reasons I enjoyed The Path so much; because it felt like it was making an emotional impact in a similar way.
Honestly, I could talk about this topic for a lot longer, but I probably shouldn't unless I want to talk the topic to death. Time to let you guys talk instead - has any game ever made you cry? Why don't more games do this? I'd love to hear your thoughts, so drop them in the comments below.

KOTA BHARU, Jan 20 (Bernama) -- The Kelantan government is ready to face the suit filed by the federal government through Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) pertaining to the Orang Asli issue in the state.
Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob said at the moment he was waiting for the official documents relating to the suit from AGC to be discussed with his administration.
"'Insya-Allah' (God willing) we are ready to face it as this suit is first of its kind.
"As of today we have yet to receive the official documents pertaining to the suit and we only know about it through the media," he said after a meeting with Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin at JKR 10 here today.
Two days ago, the AGC, representing the federal government, filed a suit at the Kota Bharu High Court on behalf of Orang Asli Temiar against the Kelantan government.
The suit was filed by the federal government, against the Kelantan government and seven other parties to seek recognition of the Temiar Orang Asli's land rights in Pos Simpor near Gua Musang and Jan 22 has been set for mention of the case.
Commenting on the issue, Ahmad said he would discuss the issue at the upcoming state government exco meeting.
He said the state government had actually helped the Orang Asli pertaining to the groups' livelihoods, settlements and agriculture.
"We want to see what the issue is and we are ready to face it," he said.

Q: Nulling a BLOB column in Oracle 11 impdp I need to import a 50 GB dump file containing three schemas. Over 90% of the file is taken up by a single BLOB column. How could I import the schemas, including the table containing the blobs, but replacing the values in the column with nulls? I could do a full import, null the column manually, do an export, delete the schemas and do a new import, but is there away to exclude a single column's data with impdp parameters?

A: Another option would be to do a datapump export of a view that has only the columns and data that you want. If you want a column to be null have the view make the column null. Then when you do the import you are only importing the data that you want.

Yahoo Data Breach
The Logic Bomb
Ransomware WannaCry
LinkedIn Hacking
JP and Morgan Chase & Co
Hannaford Bros.
Ranking on the top internet services Yahoo was also not spared from the data breaches. Yahoo reported two major data breaches of the users during the second half of 2016. The first data breaches were officially announced in September 2016, though the breach happened earlier at 2014 over 500 million accounts were hacked and the data was leaked. The other major data breach had occurred around August 2013 and was brought to the public notice officially in December 2016. As per estimation this breach caused over 1 billion users accounts, later at October 2017 Yahoo agreed that all its 3 billion account users were not spared. These two breaches top the list of the biggest data breach in the history of the internet. The data breached information carried names, email addresses, encrypted security questions, telephone number, date of birth, and passwords.
Data Breached: August 2013 – 3 billion
Late 2014 – 500 million
Information leaked: names, email addresses, encrypted security questions, telephone number, date of birth, and passwords.
A piece of code "LOGIC BOMB" was intentionally forced into a software system which set off a malicious function which meets the hacker necessities. Once a system is infected with the logic bomb they start deleting important files and execute many malicious files. Logic Bombs are always found in software that inherently malicious such as worms or viruses, these logic bombs are executing a specific kind of payload if and only if the conditions are satisfied. This kind of virus or worms spread rapidly before the user's knowledge. There are kind of virus or worms which targets the host system on the specific date these are similar to "TIME BOMB". Trojans activate on certain dates and create havoc. These logic bombs develop payload in such a way that it should be unwanted and unknown to the user of the software.
The biggest ever attack is reported by Sony BMG, In October 2005, Mark Russinovich found out that Sony BMG has embedded a logic bomb in the music CDs which installed insecure software on the buyer's computers. The software monitored the computer completely and it also could change the system's os access to their hardware. And over 22 million were affected by this logic bomb.
Data Breached: October 2005
Information leaked: Complete access over the infected system
Ransomware Wanna Cry
The ransomware Wanna cry attack was the greatest ransomware attack throughout the globe, the crypto worm was the ransomware used. Targetting the computers which run Microsoft Windows by encrypting all the files and demanding ransom through cryptocurrency.
Though the attack was stopped within a few days, by discovering a kill switch that created a barrier from spreading the virus from the infected computers. Roughly this ransomware had affected around
200,000 computers throughout the globe. The total damaged caused by the in terms of capital was 100 million dollars. Security analyst preliminary evaluation said that the worm attacked was originated from North Korea or other agencies working for that country.
Later in December 2017, The United States Australia and the United Kingdom formally declared that North Korea was behind the attack.
In August 2018 a new version of wanna cry ransomware attacked a semiconductor manufacturing company in Taiwan spreading across over 10,000 machines, and the company was forced to be closed temporarily.
Data Breached: 12 May 2017 – 15 May 2017
Information leaked: Names, email addresses, public, and non-public actions, hashed passwords, and profile data, Personal data, Banking details
Goldeye was similar to the rest of the ransomware but the only difference was that it had two layers of encryption:
1. Individually encrypts target files on the computer
2. Encrypts NTFS structure.
Similar to Petya, Goldeye also encrypts the entire hard disk mounted inside the system and it creates a barricade by denying access to the admin to access his files.
Later the ransomware finishes the encryption process and has a specialized routine, the worm basically crashes the computer forcefully and goes for a reboot and this makes the system unstable until and unless the ransom of $300 was paid.
The attack was first identified in Ukraine, Romania, and Russia. The worm had mostly targeted Government agencies Companies etc. But before the solution was found to the problem many private companies had paid the ransom and had retrieved the decryption key from the attacker.
Data Breached: Mid 2016
Information leaked: Each and every bit of information in the infected system.

The breach was considered as one of the worst nightmares into an American data system and is one of the biggest data breaches in the American's history.
Later in September 2014, it was disclosed by the bank's cybersecurity team by late July 2014, No sensitive information was lost such as Username and Passwords but the hackers could get the account holders name, postal address, phone number and, email through a phishing attack.
Not only JP and Morgan chase & co the hackers also targeted 9 other financial institutions. The hackers were cent percent successful in their attack and created a record in the history of data breaches.

Hannaford Bros
Maine-based Supermarket chain Hannaford Brothers Monday disclosed it had a major data breaches in its computer network. This breaches resulted in the leaking of customers debit and credit card number.
The virus attacked Hannaford stores Sweetbay stores in Florida and much other retail operated stores in the Northeast that carry Hanfords products. Hannaford also said no personal data like name, address, email or contact had been leaked in the breach because they do not keep any personal data in their database.
the breach had occurred during transmission of the card said the official later at the press meet.
The breached had also contained information like debit and credit card details of the customer's. Hannfords banking details their stock records and much other confidential information.
Information leaked: Debit and credit card details, and confidential information about the company
Citibank is one of the biggest 4 banks in the United States found out a data breach on February 2017 affecting over 200,000 credit card customers.
Citibank gave a statement saying they regularly go for a security auditing every year and they also even notice 1% of the customers would have probably been in trouble and the security agency would have this reported to the bank and the bank would further inform the card holder's and make them have secure banking.
Citibank has confirmed that customers' social security numbers, credit card expiration dates, card security codes (CCV number) and dates of birth were not compromised. Still, we believe that hackers have armed themselves with enough information to potentially conduct malicious actions against the victims. It is all-too-common that we see cases where hacking events lead to spam and phishing campaigns that could later cause serious issues for those initially affected by a security breach.
But the breach which happened on Feb 2017 was a remarkable black dot on the Citibank popularity. Though the official said that the breach does not contain the social security number, date of birth, card security codes, etc. but it also said that the attackers have enough information to perform a malicious action against the victim. At the beginning stages, it was believed that the breach would have been caused by spamming phishing campaigns, these late caused a huge problem and caused a major breach.
Searching for the loophole of the breach it was found out in one of their own systems at the month of May and the breach was confirmed to be executed from this vulnerability.
Information leaked: Credit and debit card details.

When Dynamite secured the licence with Ian Fleming Publications to produce comic book adventures for James Bond, there were three tracks announced: original serialized comic books set in modern day, a period series charting Bond's naval career and his entry in to the secret service, and finally graphic novel adaptations of Ian Fleming's original novels. Whilst Dynamite jumped deep into the first track with multiple titles, the other two plans have been quieter. Details of 'James Bond: Origin' were only just revealed in April this year, whereas the 'Casino Royale' novel was announced back in July 2016 but its released was twice delayed.
Originally, Matt Southworth was to provide the artwork on 'Casino Royale' for writer Van Jensen, but he revealed he had parted ways with the project due to 'creative differences' in late September 2016. Dennis Calero was brought in to deliver the art instead, and the release date punted from November 2016 to April 2017 and then later to October 2017.
With its release now upon us, it has been revealed that artist Fay Dalton - who provides the illustrations for the beautiful Folio Editions of hardback Ian Fleming novels - was commissioned for the cover art for this 160-page graphic novel.

3 If he came himselfe alone, he shall goe out himselfe alone: if hee were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
4 If his master haue giuen him a wife, and she hath borne him sonnes or daughters, he wife and her children shalbe her masters, but he shall goe out himselfe alone.
6 Then his master shall bring him vnto the Iudges, and set him to the dore, or to the poste, and his master shall bore his eare through with a nawle, and he shall serue him for euer.
7 Likewise if a man sell his daughter to be a seruant, she shall not goe out as the men seruantes doe.
8 If shee please not her master, who hath betrothed her to him selfe, then shall hee cause to buy her: hee shall haue no power to sell her to a strange people, seeing he despised her.
9 But if he hath betrothed her vnto his sonne, he shall deale with her according to the custome of the daughters.
10 If he take him another wife, he shall not diminish her foode, her rayment, and recompence of her virginitie.
11 And if he do not these three vnto her, the shall she go out free, paying no money.
¶ 12 He that smiteth a man, and he die, shall dye the death.
13 And if a man hath not layed wayte, but God hath offered him into his hande, then I wil appoynt thee a place whither he shall flee.
¶ 15 Also hee that smiteth his father or his mother, shall die the death.
¶ 16 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, if it be founde with him, shall die the death.
¶ 17 And hee that curseth his father or his mother, shall die the death.
19 If hee rise againe and walke without vpon his staffe, then shall he that smote him go quite, saue onely hee shall beare his charges for his resting, and shall pay for his healing.
¶ 20 And if a man smite his seruant, or his maide with a rod, and he die vnder his hande, he shalbe surely punished.
21 But if he continue a day, or two dayes, hee shall not be punished: for he is his money.
¶ 22 Also if men striue and hurt a woman with childe, so that her childe depart from her, and death follow not, hee shall bee surely punished according as the womans husband shall appoynt him, or he shall pay as the Iudges determine.
25 Burning for burning, wound for wounde, stripe for stripe.
¶ 26 And if a man smite his seruant in the eie, or his maide in the eye, and hath perished it, hee shall let him goe free for his eye.
