How We Got Financial Disaster: A Tale Of Democrat Lies And Deceit
For all the media's irresponsible coverage of the 2008 elections, they were the most blatantly dishonest and biased in their allowing Democrats to use the airwaves to present a blatantly false narrative that Republicans were to blame for the tanking economy due to their "failure to regulate."
We could go back to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who demonized "the Bush administration's failed economic policies — policies built on budgetary recklessness, on an anything-goes mentality with no regulation, no supervision and no discipline in the system." The airwaves have been filled with Democrats and liberals presenting their talking points of Republican recklessness, anything-goes mentalities, and refusal to regulate or supervise the system, with virtually no investigation or even basic fact-checking by the media.
But no one has been more dishonest, or more dispicable, than Rep. Barney Frank. Not only is Frank a true shameless liar, but as Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Frank had direct supervision over the real cause of the financial meltdown. He presided over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac while their stock plunged 90% in value.
Frank came out with a TV ad that said:
"The right wing is losing control," the narrator says, as footage of Frank's recent appearance on Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor plays. "For 12 years the Republic majority refused to regulate the financial system. Last year, Barney Frank became chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and started working on the subprime mortgage crisis, outrageous CEO compensation and other Wall Street abuses."
"I'm Barney Frank, I approve this message and the chance to be on TV without interruption," he says.
He is referring to his appearance on the Bill O'Reilly program. Then, like Sunday morning on NBC's "Meet The Press", he's interrupted because of his unrelenting lies:
REP. FRANK: I don't know exactly what it is. I will say this, there's a real difference here–there's a split within the Republican Party here…(unintelligible)…Representative Pence. They believe that nothing should be done, let the market basically do–except…
SEN. ENSIGN: That's not true.
REP. PENCE: That's not true.
SEN. ENSIGN: That's, that's not true.
REP. FRANK: I–what's the interruption? Because as you guys say things I disagree with…
REP. PENCE: Well, when you misrepresent me, I'll interrupt you.
Earlier in the same Meet the Press program, Frank had referred to the Republicans as embracing:
REP. FRANK: Well, there is no very good approach because, frankly, a philosophy of let the private market do whatever it wants, don't regulate capital, keep capital–keep the, the government out of it. Alan Greenspan acknowledged, the leader of that philosophy, it caused a lot of problems. And we now have to try and fix them.
We live in a culture that is so completely ignorant that over 57% of Obama voters even realized that it had been Democrats – not Republicans – who were in control of Congress for the last two years. And we live in a culture in which the media broadcasts outright lies without any attempt at correction when those lies favor Democrats.
Let's go back and correct the record. Let us document that Barney Frank, and his fellow Democrats, are lying demagogues who were actually responsible for the very "failure to regulate" that they deceitfully blame on Republicans.
What was the cause of our current economic meltdown? Let's turn to a CNN Money article:
The panel heard from former Fannie chief executives Daniel Mudd and Franklin Raines; former Freddie Mac CEOs Richard Syron and Leland Brendsel; a former Fannie Mae chief credit officer.
Fannie and Freddie, publicly traded but federally backed companies, control or guarantee about $5 trillion in mortgage loans. They purchase large amounts of home loans, bundle them together and divide them into securities that can be sold to investors.
The companies, which were taken under federal control in September, have drawn criticism for taking on too much risk, exacerbating the credit crisis when the housing market declined.
"Fannie and Freddie had a role or a primary role in this crisis," said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. "They gave people home ownership without telling them their personal dream could become their personal nightmare."
Lawmakers repeatedly referred to a 2005 Fannie Mae memo outlining future corporate strategy. The document acknowledged that more private investors were investing in risky loans, and it spelled out the potential consequences of taking on that risk.
"The risk in the environment has accelerated dramatically," the document stated.
It was DEMOCRATS who failed to see the risk or take action in the developing housing finance crisis. Just watch them doing it here. If you do nothing else, watch this!
And you have only to do a little basic fact checking to see that the people who ran Fannie and Freddie were virtually ALL career Democrats.
And we are now on the hook for trillions of dollars in bad debt – bundled to disguise the risk – due to the catastrophic failure of these Government Sponsored Entities Fannie and Freddie.
And Barack Obama – who took more campaign contributions from Democrat-to-the-gills organizations Fannie and Freddie than anyone but fellow Democrat Chris Dodd – also had disgraced and frankly criminal Franklin Raines as an economic advisor to go with former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson serving on his campaign. In addition, Barack Obama and Chris Dodd also topped out the list of disgraced and now bankrupt Lehman Brothers. And of course Senator Chris Dodd was taking sweetheart mortgage deals from corrupt Countrywide even as Barack Obama was taking the same sweetheart mortgage deals from corrupt Tony Rezko. And both Democrats were engaging in these cozy relationships even as the housing industry was in the process of going to hell and killing the economy.
Now perhaps you begin to see why even former Democratic President Bill Clinton acknowledged that it was actually Democrats who bore the failure for refusing to regulate the housing financial market while he was President:
Bill Clinton on Thursday told ABC's Chris Cuomo that Democrats for years have been "resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was President to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac."
Did Republicans fail to regulate Fannie and Freddie, whose risky and ultimately disastrous policies created the economic meltdown when they imploded?
Not according to The New York Times from September 11, 2003 – the first time President Bush tried to regulate them. In that article, which describes Bush's goals and the Democrats' united opposition, Barney Frank is quoted as saying:
"These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis," said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. "The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."
Democrats managed to kill that bill.
And Barney Frank was singing the same, "Everything's fine at Fannie and Freddie, so why fix what aint broke?" song as late as July 14, 2008 – JUST BEFORE EVERYTHING WENT TO HELL:
REP. BARNEY FRANK, D-MASS.: I think this is a case where Fannie and Freddie are fundamentally sound, that they are not in danger of going under. They're not the best investments these days from the long-term standpoint going back. I think they are in good shape going forward.
They're in a housing market. I do think their prospects going forward are very solid. And in fact, we're going to do some things that are going to improve them.
What little Frank and his Democrats did was way too little and way, way, too late.
Between these two statements from Barney Frank, George Bush and Republicans tried yet again to regulate what they perceived was a growing potential crisis. John McCain wrote the following letter urging support of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005. I bold-faced key passages:
Sen. John McCain [R-AZ]: Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae's regulator reported that the company's quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were "illusions deliberately and systematically created" by the company's senior management, which resulted in a $10.6 billion accounting scandal.
The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight's report goes on to say that Fannie Mae employees deliberately and intentionally manipulated financial reports to hit earnings targets in order to trigger bonuses for senior executives. In the case of Franklin Raines, Fannie Mae's former chief executive officer, OFHEO's report shows that over half of Mr. Raines' compensation for the 6 years through 2003 was directly tied to meeting earnings targets. The report of financial misconduct at Fannie Mae echoes the deeply troubling $5 billion profit restatement at Freddie Mac.
The OFHEO report also states that Fannie Mae used its political power to lobby Congress in an effort to interfere with the regulator's examination of the company's accounting problems. This report comes some weeks after Freddie Mac paid a record $3.8 million fine in a settlement with the Federal Election Commission and restated lobbying disclosure reports from 2004 to 2005. These are entities that have demonstrated over and over again that they are deeply in need of reform.
For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac–known as Government-sponsored entities or GSEs–and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market. OFHEO's report this week does nothing to ease these concerns. In fact, the report does quite the contrary. OFHEO's report solidifies my view that the GSEs need to be reformed without delay.
I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole.
I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.
But Democrats ignored that message and united against that bill, too, threatening filibuster.
What happened to that bill?
On January 26, 2005, hoping for a different result in the new congress, Sununu, Hagel, and Dole re-introduced legislation (S. 190) to improve oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The bill incorporated many provisions of the Sununu, Hagel, Dole legislation from the prior congress. It passed out of the Committee on another party-line vote of 11 – 9 on July 28, 2005. But again, without a single Democrat vote, the bill was doomed if brought to the floor for the critical 60-vote cloture. Only 41 Democrat votes would doom it. In a growing negative atmosphere created by the left based on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, a fight over an unreported crisis brewing in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was likely considered futile. Again the bill was not scheduled to go to the floor where Democrats would certainly have defeated it by voting against cloture and prevented an up or down vote.
Democrat Sen. Charles Schumer – another hypocritical lying weasel who has repeatedly blamed Republicans for failing to "regulate" – wrote an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal in 2006 which warned about what he called "overzealous regulators" and opposed a bill in 2005 that would have transformed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae from large investment funds into "conduits" that only bought mortgages, packaged them into securities and sold them on the market.
Sadly, Barack Hussein Obama was more effective in his lies than John McCain was with the truth. And Barack Obama – who was the 2nd largest recipient of Fannie Mae's using "its political power to lobby Congress," and who had disgraced former Fannie executives on his campaign – is now the President of the United States, along with the very party that created this mess and successfully scandalized Republicans whose "mismanagement" was largely the result of failing to reign in Democrat stupidity and corruption.
The American people were lied to by a blatantly corrupt and dishonest media. And they rewarded the very people who created our current economic disaster by giving them total power. And as a result the American people are going to spend the next four years paying for their failure to do due diligence and find out the truth for themselves.

Nice piece, Michael! Linked from my latest post.
HasItBeen4YearsYet? Says:
Yes, nice job, and thorough, too. But as long as the MSM has a lock on information, that's not going to get out to the public. That's what needs to happen to give us a chance to turn this situation around.
Michael Eden Says:
Thanks for the praise.
You are completely correct about the mainstream media blocking the truth with propaganda and distraction. That's why I write: to try to get the truth out, and to at least leave a record of all the crap going on all around us.
I thank you for the answers to the questions I have been looking for for the last 2 1/2 years. I continued to ask myself and searched hours upon hours why it was that the Democrats were and are blaming "ONLY" Bush for the so-called mess he left for Obama to clean up. I have wondered for a while why B.Frank hasn't been in the public eye and keeping his fat mouth shut about almost everything!! Is he hiding??
I understand and appreciate that the Republican Party is not perfect nor right all the time yet, these bleeding heart liberals and Democrats are acting as if their feet have never hit the ground as they get out of bed in the morning. The lack of accountability in the Democratic party that they are even starting to believe their own lies. I do my best to stay on the higher road and not indulge them yet sometimes I come up with something mind boggling that will keep them quite for a day or two! Now that I have facts to back up what I felt the truth was/is, maybe some of those loud mouths will take to hiding just like B.Frank has!!!
Cindy,
Thank you very much for taking the trouble to post that comment. Based on the large number of people who view my sight, very few leave comments – and too many of those who do are drive-by liberals who don't bother to deal with the facts, but just attack me personally.
I have also been appalled at how poorly the market collapse has been investigated versus how well it has been demagogued by the left.
Had John McCain stood up and held his letter on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and said, "I warned America about this. President Bush tried to warn America 17 times. And my opponent in particular and the Democrat Party in general was a willing tool for the stupid and immoral policies that led to this housing market collapse," the election my have gone differently. Just as it may have gone differently had he publicly revealed Obama's hard-core Marxist background, and how he spent 23 years in a racist anti-American church as a direct result of his Marxism.
It was political correctness that turned McCain into a moral coward who wouldn't talk about those things. Being politically correct is not just an attempt to make people feel better. It's a large, coordinated effort to change Western culture as we know it by redefining it. Early Marxists designed their game plan long ago and continue to execute it today — and now liberals are picking up the same tactic: to control the argument by controlling the "acceptable" language. Those with radical agendas understand the game plan and are taking advantage of an oversensitive and frankly morally stupid public.
Where Republicans largely fail is in acting like McCain. They don't even TRY to fix the terrible policies Democrats have created because they know they'll be called "racists" and they're afraid. So you've got one group – Democrats – who are basically determined to collapse America and kill millions in a soon-coming Great Depression. And then you've got the Republicans who can't be trusted to stand up against the Democrats.
I'd rather have the Republicans than the Democrats. We'll at least perish as a nation much more slowly.

CanWest Aviation has two air ambulances permanently housed at the Peace River airport to provide 24-hour air ambulance service in Peace River and surrounding northern Albertan communities.
Effective August 2, CanWest Aviation is fully operational from their newly acquired hangar in Peace River, and will continue to provide access to high quality air ambulance service to residents of Northern Alberta.
Both planes are brand new and directly benefit patient care through improved flight safety, quality enhancements and state of the art standardized patient care environments.
"We are excited to finally have these new resources permanently housed in Peace River to Northern Alberta to support patient care and safety to Albertans," said Yiu.
– Modern avionics technology, such as communications, navigation and improved proximity warning devices to enhance flight and patient safety.
– Improved speed, comfort and reliability.
– State of the art and standardized medical interiors to create a better workspace for air medical crews to provide care to patients. This will improve patient care because the standardization ensures crews are familiar with the medical layout regardless of what aircraft they are flying in.
CanWest and community leaders are to thank for their ongoing work to secure a permanent base for these new resources in Peace River.


MoonBeach Diary – Page 2 – Food, Travel, Music, Life… Taking it all in, one bite at a time!
Salazar. It's that Sonora-style barbecue hotspot near the river in L.A.'s Frogtown (aka Elysian Valley). It's the former mechanic shop turned hipster bar, but in a totally non-annoying way. It's also the place with the BEST FLOUR TORTILLAS I've ever eaten.
You may know owner/chef Esdras Ochoa from Mexicali Taco, home of the Vampiro (and other delicious bites). I've been a fan of Ochoa for years, and love what he's created at Salazar. It's an outdoor restaurant and bar that's fun for everyone.
When I go, I always start with at LEAST two tacos. Usually the carne asada (beef) and al pastor (pork). Recently, when I brought a few friends for dinner, our plan was to share a few appetizers and larger entrees. When they asked about sharing the tacos, I flat out said, "Um NO. I do NOT share Esdras Ochoa's tacos." I'm selfish that way. Did I mention I'd addicted to his flour tortillas?
"Mexicali Taco & Co. brings up its flour tortillas several times a week from Mexicali. If you come from a region where flour tortillas are the standard – Texas, Sonora, Arizona – a well-made flour tortilla is like oxygen, an element without which life itself is impossible." Read more here.
Besides the tacos, I always get the pork chop. In case you didn't know… I have pork issues (I'm obsessed with anything porky). I will always order the pork. It may not always be the best dish on a menu, but the fire-grilled pork chop at Salazar is a MUST. There are so many more terrific dishes (photos below) with gorgeous seafood and vegetarian options as well.
The atmosphere at Salazar? It's both RELAXING and FESTIVE. The outdoor dining room feels like a party, especially with cocktails and good friends. Have you ever strolled around your neighborhood, and smelled something grilling in the air? Then wished you had been invited to the party? Salazar is the backyard dinner party for all of us. Go.

The Latest: French airport activists refuse order to leave
A sign reading "No to the airport" is pictured in the "ZAD" (zone to defend) in Notre-Dame-des-Landes, outside the city of Nantes, western France, Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2018. Prime Minister Edouard Philippe says that the government has decided against building an airport in western France that has mobilized nearly a decade of sometimes violent protests and he told protesters occupying the site that they must leave.Mathieu Pattier / AP
PARIS — The Latest on a disputed airport plan in France (all times local):
Activists are refusing an order by the French prime minister to leave their makeshift settlement in western France set up years ago to protest the construction of a new airport — a project the government says is now abandoned.
Hundreds of activists who call themselves ZADists, for Zone of Defence, said that there would be a victory celebration on Feb. 10. They spoke shortly after Prime Minister Edouard Philippe's Wednesday announcement of the end of the airport project.
The group, entrenched in Notre-Dame-des-Landes, the planned airport site, said it is refusing to leave by spring as ordered. Still it says it will clear the main road of obstacles defending their zone.
French Security forces were being deployed to the region around Nantes.
A top French regional official has lashed out at the central government for its decision to abandon a highly contentious airport project in his area in western France, saying it has "trampled on democracy."
Philippe Grosvalet, president of the Loire-Atlantique department, said on BFM TV on Wednesday that the government has also "ceded to disorder," a reference to anarchists who have protested the airport project in Notre-Dame-des-Landes, outside Nantes. The protesters, living in a makeshift settlement, have clashed with police several times in recent years.
The majority of citizens supported the airport project in a 2016 referendum.
Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has announced the decision to abandon the divisive airport project and ordered roads blocked by protesters cleared — or police will intervene. He said squatters must leave by spring.
France's prime minister says that the government has decided against building an airport in western France that has mobilized nearly a decade of sometimes violent protests and he told protesters occupying the site that they must leave.
Edouard Philippe says that the decision to abandon construction of a new airport outside Nantes was based on the explosive situation there and divisions among the population.
He said that anarchists opposed to the new airport must leave. He said that "we will put an end to this lawless zone."
He ordered protesters living in a makeshift settlement in Notre-Dames-des-Landes, where the airport was set to be built, to clear roads they have been blocking — or police will.
Police are deploying extra forces to western France as the government prepares to decide whether to build an airport that has mobilized nearly a decade of sometimes violent protests.
Anarchists, farmers and environmental activists have occupied a vast area around Notre-Dame-des-Landes, outside the city of Nantes, to resist the proposed airport. Protesters from other regions have reportedly arrived in recent days.
A police official said Wednesday that extra gendarmes and riot police are being sent this week to the area, because police plan to try to clear out the protesters once the government makes a decision.
President Emmanuel Macron's Cabinet is scheduled to discuss the airport at a meeting Wednesday.
Proponents argue the region needs a larger airport to boost its economic prospects. Opponents say the airport is unnecessary and a symbol of exploitative globalization.

Preview: ICW 8th Annual Square Go! (2/24/19)
By: Adam Morrison | February 18, 2019
Who's ready for a Square Go? Insane Championship Wrestling are on their way to the SWG3 in Glasgow for their annual over the tap event. Alongside the four huge championship matches, the main event will see the namesake contest. 30 entrants, 5 weapons, 1 golden opportunity. By the end of the night, it's very possible that the entire landscape of ICW could be turned on its head.
ICW Women's World Championship: Kay Lee Ray (c) vs Toni Storm
Photo: ICW
Kay Lee Ray's third reign as the Women's World Champion may very well be coming to a halt as she comes up against the current NXT UK Women's Champion, Toni Storm. The first lady of The Filthy Generation became a record-breaking three-time champion back in December at Fear & Loathing XI, as she defeated Viper in a brutal Queen of Insanity Match by tapping her out with a barbed wire-assisted crossface. After both ladies tore into each other, it looks as if they've finally reached a mutual level of respect. As tough as that match was for KLR, she could be in for an even tougher challenge on Sunday evening. Right now, Toni Storm is on top of the world, reigning over the women's division of NXT UK as their champion. As well as that, she was the victor of last year's WWE Mae Young Classic, putting her up there as one of the best women's wrestlers in the entire world. Hell, one of the best wrestlers in the world period. Her return to ICW could see her adding more gold to her collection, but don't bet on it. As a member of The Filthy Generation, KLR always has a trick or two up her sleeve.
Prediction: Kay Lee Ray
ICW Tag Team Championships: The P.O.D (Rampage Brown & Ashton Smith) (c) vs The Kings of Catch (Aspen Faith & Lewis Girvan)
The other two active members of The Filthy Generation will be looking to capture their first set of ICW Tag Team Championships with The Kings of Catch challenging The P.O.D. There's no denying the popularity of Aspen Faith and Lewis Girvan right now – they were two of the hottest young talents in the UK before teaming together, and now they're one of (if not, the) greatest tag team in the UK right now. So when they lost that TLC Match at Fear & Loathing XI, the fans felt as if they'd been robbed. Lewis Girvan even went 'taps aff' because he was certain he and Aspen were about to win. Then The P.O.D won. And won the tag titles the same night. Everyone in the Hydro couldn't believe their eyes. This was the moment for The Kings of Catch, it was their time. Now, this isn't a complaint towards Rampage Brown and Ashton Smith in any way, shape, or form. You don't need me to tell you how talented they are. But when you put them against Aspen and Lewis, there's a clear fan favourite. Sunday night will be the moment The Kings of Catch ascend their throne and make their mark in the history books of ICW.
Prediction: The Kings of Catch
ICW Zero-G Championship: Joe Coffey (c) vs Ilja Dragunov
It's a match that looks set to be pure Gallus. Joe Coffey, Ilja Dragunov, Zero-G Championship. There's no need to tell you how great of a match this will be. You can just tell. The Iron King won his first taste of Zero-G gold back in December, besting brother Mark in quite the battle. He was the one to lay out the challenge to the Russian sensation for a title match at the Square Go!, not one to shy away from a challenge when he sees one. It may look as if Coffey is confident heading into this one, but I'm personally not sure if he's really prepared for what Ilja's got in the tank. The former wXw Unified World Wrestling Champion has been making waves for a while now and is a name associated with big money matches. Take his PROGRESS match with Pete Dunne for example – it was billed as the biggest match in European wrestling. We know exactly what both Ilja and Joe are capable of when given the right opportunity. The champion's on a wave of momentum right now following his participation in the main event of NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool and with this being his first championship defence, don't expect to see The Iron King giving his throne up quite yet.
Prediction: Joe Coffey
ICW World Heavyweight Championship: Lionheart (c) vs Angelico
When Lionheart finally won the ICW World Heavyweight Championship from Jackie Polo at the Hydro, he made his intentions crystal clear – he wanted to defend the title against the very best the world of professional wrestling had to offer. He's stayed true to his promise so far, with both Shigehiro Irie and Jody Fleisch stepping up to challenge the face of ICW. Both failed in their mission, but both contests were superb. Lionheart's next challenger comes in the form of a man who proclaims to be half man, half amazing. It's South African sensation Angelico. The acrobatic daredevil appeared for ICW last July, defeating Mikey Whiplash in a showstealing contest on night one of Shug's Hoose Party 5, and now he wants to cement his position within the company. His first appearance for ICW was also the same night Lionheart first defeated 'Just Justice' Jackie Polo, the match that set Lionheart on the path to where he is today. Any of the matches on this card could very well be a match of the year contender, but keeps your eyes on this one in particular. Just another example of why Lionheart is one of the best in the country right now.
Prediction: Lionheart
8th Annual Square Go! Match: Aaron Echo, Alexander Darwin MacAllan, Andy Wild, Grado, Jimmy Havoc, Kenny Williams, Kieran Kelly, Krieger, Krobar, Leyton Buzzard, Liam Thomson, Lou King Sharp, Mark Coffey, Paxxo, Red Lightning, Viper, and Wolfgang will enter
The big one. The match that can change the career of any ICW wrestler. It's the Square Go! Match – 30 people will enter, 5 of them will bring a weapon to the ring, and only 1 will walk away with a future World Heavyweight Championship opportunity. At the time of writing, over half of the entrants have been announced – Aaron Echo, Alexander Darwin MacAllan, Andy Wild, Grado, Jimmy Havoc, Kenny Williams, Kieran Kelly, Krieger, Krobar, Leyton Buzzard, Liam Thomson, Lou King Sharp, Mark Coffey, Paxxo, Red Lightning, Viper, and Wolfgang. This year's match feels so unpredictable, and I'm loving it. Last year, it was really only Stevie Boy or Joe Hendry that was winning it. Now, there are at least four guys in with a shot of being a viable winner – Joe Hendry, Kenny Williams, Andy Wild, and Red Lightning. Sure, it's not a huge upgrade, but it's still something. Personally, I think this year belongs to The Prestigious One. He's on a roll like no-one else at the moment and with Team Dallas having his back, there's no stopping him.
Prediction: Joe Hendry

Microsoft CEO Nadella to Talk Mobile and Cloud at March 27 Event in San Francisco
The event will be the first big press event for the newly named chief executive.
By Ina Fried@inafried Mar 17, 2014, 2:17pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Microsoft CEO Nadella to Talk Mobile and Cloud at March 27 Event in San Francisco
Aiming to put some muscle behind his vision of improving Microsoft's position in mobile and cloud, newly named CEO Satya Nadella will preside over a March 27 press event in San Francisco.
In a note, Microsoft billed the event as consisting of a "briefing and news focused on the intersection of cloud and mobile computing." The company declined to comment further.
Microsoft has talked for some time about bringing more of its key apps and services — including Office — to mobile devices powered by rival operating systems.
Earlier on Monday, Microsoft announced it was bringing OneNote to the Mac and also said it would make the note-taking app free on all devices.
The timing of the March 27 event is interesting, given that the company is already going to be in San Francisco the following week for Build, its developer conference. It is also the first major address from Nadella since being named chief executive last month.

A person who makes $50,000 a year might afford a house worth anywhere from $180,000 to nearly $300,000. That's because salary isn't the only thing that determines your home buying budget. You also have to factor in credit score, current debts, mortgage rates, and many other factors.

It's not "okay" money, its not "decent" money, it's good money. It's 50% more than the average canadian makes. But, outside Toronto/Vancouver, 70k is definitely well above average, and there is no reason you cant own a house, a used car, save money and go on a modest vacation occasionally.

How far would i get within the space industry when wanting to become an astrophysicist/astronaut?
I've had this question for a while and was asking around on dutch forums since I am dutch. Was wondering if any of you had anything to say or give info. Thanks for replying or not in advance.
Re: 5 year ICT course.
Plenty of good internet articles have already been written by other people on this topic. One example: Ask Ethan: How do I become an astrophysicist/astronaut?. This article focuses on the NASA astronaut corps, but the ESA astronaut corps functions very similiarly and the advice will still be applicable.
You want optimal chances? It's gonna set you back more than 5 years if you're starting at the end of secondary school.
EDIT: This is more in response to a question like "I want to be an astronaut when I grow up. How do I develop my career to get selected to go to Mars?" than what was actually asked.
Get a dual bachelor's in engineering and geology with a minor in biology, with a couple research internships in different space-related labs under your belt and a side gig writing software. Do well academically - be top of your class. Then pursue a postgraduate degree in planetary science or some engineering sub-discipline while doing something (pay or internship) on the side related to actual spacecraft engineering work, either at a company or a research institute (lots of Cubesats out there these days; Expect even more in the years to come). Leave with a few successful publications under your belt. Get some moderate medical training, like a Wilderness First Responder course; On the topic of short courses, SCUBA diving would also be at least slightly advantageous.
Joining the Dutch air force would be a strong benefit, but it's unclear that it's worth the time for the sort of horizons we're looking at. Historically the military has dominated the qualifications of the people that entered space programs, but SpaceX is likely to break that pattern.
Understand: It's still a long shot, unless things go exceedingly optimistically with various space programs. But this path exposes you to enough different things that you have plentiful inviting fallback options. In the event we do end up with a massive colony on Mars or big space hotels in LEO, this gives you a very plausible possibility of having skills in demand on-site that are not trivial to do remotely.
Also understand: You're gonna be giving up (or at least delaying) major parts of life for this. One starts to notice the highly productive overachievers in one's life because one makes reference jokes to popular culture and they don't get it; It happens once and it's a fluke, it happens once a day and you realize you're dealing with someone that has spent all their spare time on their core objectives. It is not possible to do all these things well and *also* pursue lots of unrelated hobbies, like gaming, television/movies, partying, parenting.
grab every opportunity that you can get to practice and improve your presentation/speaking skills. Doing public outreach is a major part of the job of a NASA/ESA astronaut. The ability to be an effective spokesperson for the entire space agency is something that will also be selected upon during astronaut recruiting.
Understand: It's still a long shot, unless things go exceedingly optimistically with various space programs. But this path exposes you to enough different things that you have plentiful inviting fallback options.
This is kind of the key part. I'm not in the space field - unless being a space cadet counts, like everybody else reading this forum - but I'm a physician and as such I constantly get the question from students of "how do I get into med school" which is a long (but not nearly so much so as going for astronaut!) shot as well. My standard answer is "Don't try.". Instead, study something that you really want to do and really love, and if med school happens than great... but if not, you've still got a career in a field you love whereas if you major in pre-med and don't get in you're flipping burgers. I would propose that the same goes for an aspiring astronaut as well; obviously do something science or engineering related, but pick it based on what you like and want to do for your life rather than with an eye towards applying for an astronaut program.
I practiced what I preach, by the way; two degrees in engineering before I switched tracks to medicine and would have been quite happy in engineering. Still haven't given up the dream of applying to an astronaut program myself either...although my wife tells me otherwise!

…the former aviation minister, in both moments, he described as shame, added that not good examples of the courage, decency, fairness and good judgement that the Yoruba are known for.
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has recounted moment in history of his life that he would hardly find difficult to let wash away and that was in 1966 when 100,000 Igbos were massacred and in 2019, weeks after the murder of daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben.
In a post on his Facebook page, on Thursday, the former aviation minister, in both moments, he described as shame, added that not good examples of the courage, decency, fairness and good judgement that the Yoruba are known for.
Excerpt of the post reads: There are two moments in history when, as a Yoruba, I was embarrassed. The first was in 1966 when Yoruba leaders and traditional rulers went to the north after the massacar of 100,000 Igbo civilians to "thank" northern leaders for not allowing the mob to kill Yorubas as well.
The second was in 2019 when, two weeks after the daughter of the leader of Afenifere was murdered on the steets of the South West by Fulani herdsmen, Yoruba traditional rulers went to the north to pledge their loyalty and support to Buhari and thank him for "a job well done".
These two events were moments of shame. You do not pay homage to and thank tigers for not eating you for breakfast: you oppose and resist them!
Again you do not thank tyrants for not doing their duty and protecting the lives and property of your people: you call them to account, you hold them responsible and you keep them on their toes!
These two moments were not good examples of the courage, decency, fairness and good judgement that the Yoruba are known for. They represent a dark and inexplicable chapter in our history which most of us conveniently overlook and refuse to talk about. I feel a deep sense of shame and guilt whenever I consider them.
In 1966, before the outbreak of the civil war, 100,000 Igbo civilians were massacared in three months in the north and we the Yoruba did nothing to help them. Instead we crawled to the north to thank those that slaughtered them after it was all over.
43 years later in 2019, Baba Reuben Fasoranti's daughter was murdered in cold blood (together with thousands of other Yoruba sons and daughters over the last few months), by Fulani terrorists in the streets of the South West and we have done absolutely NOTHING about it or made ANY concrete plans or efforts to defend our people.
Instead of doing so we crawled to the north to "thank" a President who is meant to protect us from the Fulani terrorists and guarantee our safety but who has refused and failed to do so.

What makes it even worse is that that same President has put every single military, security and intelligence agency, except for the Navy, in the hands of northern Muslims and he has pointedly refused to declare the Fulani herdsmen as terrorists simply because he has a soft spot for them and they come from the same place.
It is time for the Yoruba nation to wake up, smell the coffee and take a new approach to these matters. The crawling has to stop!
We are not cowards, beggars and crawlers: we are bigger and better than that. We are a nation within a nation. We are 60 million strong and we are spread throughout the world.
We are a strong, proud, rich, honorable, humble, wise and noble people who are excellent in all our ways, who hate injustice and who have a kind, loving, accomodating, forgiving and liberal disposition.
Humility, charity, long-suffering and the ability to stomach all manner of insults, provocation and impudence from those far below us for long periods of time comes naturally to us but cowardice, stupidity, weakness and capitulation before those that physically attack our people is alien to us and is not in our genes.
We NEVER and we have never bowed to our invaders. We have always resisted them and we have always done so ruthlessly and successfully.
Once we decide to rise and stand firm, we are unbeatable. History proves that. We are slow to anger but irresistable in battle.
It is because of this that I daresay that we deserve a far better quality of leadership than what we are presently witnessing.
It is time for us to get real and accept the fact that the threat we are facing is existential.
History and posterity will not be kind to those of us that betray our people or that align with the aliens and unbelievers that desire to wipe us out and turn us into slaves.

Leanne O'Sullivan was born in 1983, and comes from the Beara peninsula in West Cork. She received an MA in English from University College, Cork in 2006. The winner – while still in her teens – of several of Ireland's poetry competitions, including the Seacat, Davoren Hanna and RTE Rattlebag Poetry Slam, she has since published four collections with Bloodaxe: Waiting for My Clothes (2004), Cailleach: The Hag of Beara (2009), The Mining Road (2013) and A Quarter of an Hour (2018).
Waiting for My Clothes, her first collection, traces a deeply personal journey, from the traumas of eating disorder and low self-esteem to the saving powers of love and positive awareness. Leanne O'Sullivan has been writing poetry since she was 12, and began these poems not thinking they would ever form part of a book, but 'writing down the reasons I should live for' and then 'becoming addicted to looking at things to find the beauty in them'.
'O'Sullivan's voice sounds with striking confidence and originality…These are poems not just of what it is to be young…but of what it is to be alive; vividly, vibrantly, vulnerably so' – Belinda McKeon, Irish Times, on Waiting for My Clothes.
'What is remarkable about Leanne O'Sullivan is not that she is so young…but that she dares to write about exactly what it is to be young. A teenage Virgil, she guides us down some of the more hellish corridors of adolescence with a voice that is strong and true' – Billy Collins on Waiting for My Clothes.
'Leanne O'Sullivan's first collection, Waiting for My Clothes, was published when she was just 21 and was justifiably acclaimed for the extraordinary power of its language and the maturity of vision. It was also an intensely confessional work; it is therefore not surprising that O'Sullivan should eschew further revelations in Cailleach: The Hag of Beara, her second collection, and plough, instead, the furrows of Irish mythology in her exploration of the eternal feminine... O'Sullivan's vision continues to be deeply romantic in its trust that nature is a panacea for human suffering; these poems catch one's breath with their exquisite rendering of the Irish landscape... O'Sullivan's imagery is always precise, yet utterly dazzling in its originality... she is reclaiming her landscape, as all poets must, and she does so with the steadiness and gravity of a writer who has already found her way home' — Nessa O'Mahony, Irish Times.
Leanne O'Sullivan begins this short film by reading 'The Cord' from her debut collection, Waiting for My Clothes (2004). Then she talks about her second collection, Cailleach: The Hag of Beara (2009) and reads one poem from it, 'Birth'. An Cailleach Bhéarra, or the Hag of Beara, is a wise woman figure embedded in the physical and mental landscape of western Ireland. A large rock rests on the ridge overlooking Ballycrovane Harbour on the Beara peninsula, said to be the petrified body of the Cailleach; she has had several lives, beginning each life with a birth from her stony form – and returning to stone at the end. Leanne then reads six poems from her latest collection, The Mining Road (2013), in which she finds inspiration in the disused copper mines that haunt the rugged terrain around Allihies, near her home: 'Townland', 'The Mining Road', 'Love Stories', 'Antique Cabinets', 'Sea Level' (from 'Man Engine'), 'Safe House' and 'The Glimmerman'. Neil Astley filmed this reading in February 2012 at the O'Sullivan family farm at Beara, West Cork, where Leanne O'Sullivan grew up. This film is from the DVD-anthology In Person: World Poets, filmed and edited by Pamela Robertson-Pearce and Neil Astley (Bloodaxe Books, 2017).

During warm weather months, blue-green algae blooms can grow in freshwater lakes, rivers, or waterways. Avoiding areas contaminated with blue-green algae is extremely important because contact with toxic blooms can be harmful to humans and fatal for dogs.
An example of blue-green algae. Photo by the Center for Investigative Reporting.
Blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, grows in warm, slow-moving, or still water. Some species are non-toxic but some species can house poisons called cyanobacterial toxins or cyanotoxins. Any of the cyanobacteria toxins can be harmful to dogs and their people, and these toxins have no known antidotes. Whether the blooms are toxic or not cannot be determined with the naked-eye, so err on the side of caution for your dog's sake.
Water that is uncharacteristically green or has visible surface scum should be avoided. The highest concentrations of toxins are usually found in blooms and/or scum on the shoreline. These dense accumulations pose the greatest potential risks to pets and people. Swimming, wading, and drinking the water should be avoided when signs of blue-green algae are present.
Your dog depends on you to keep him safe. He is unaware of the hazardous conditions posed by the presence of blue-green algae. So it's best to check out any water source you visit before you let Fido drink or swim. The consequences of blue-green algae exposure are serious. For dogs exposed to high levels of toxin, severe illness can occur in as little as 30 minutes. Dogs that are often exposed to low levels of toxins may develop health problems such as chronic liver disease, and possibly tumors; damage that may go unnoticed until it's severe. Canines are particularly susceptible to the toxic algae if they get it on their fur and then lick the algae off their fur and by drinking contaminated water.
If your dog has been exposed to blue-green algae toxin and shows any of the symptoms above, supportive care may keep your pet alive. You haven't much time to act, so get your dog to emergency veterinarian care immediately.
•Don't let your pet lick his/her fur. Muzzle your dog if you have to.
•Wash your pet with clean water as soon as possible, such as bottled water and towel off any visible algae (being careful not to touch it yourself).
•Do not use bleach or disinfectant to clean your dog as this will spread and release the toxins.
If your dog has ingested toxic algae, and you have activated charcoal handy, administer it and induce vomiting. Using activated charcoal will absorb the toxins and flush them from his/her system.
There is still a lot of summer left for you and your four-legged best friend to enjoy. Just remember that your dog follows your lead, so check out his water source before he plunges in for a dip or takes a sip.

Jobsworth Robert Jenrick announces estate agents CAN take potential virus spreaders into peoples' homes even in Tier 4 lockdown areas; a QUARTER of donations to the Tory party come from the property sector
Housing secretary Robert Jenrick likes to do favours for his ridiculously rich cronies. He came to attention in May when he "unlawfully approved" a planning scheme for Richard Desmond (AKA 'Mr Badger') and on Saturday, this murky multi-millionaire Tory MP again showed his true colours when he bizarrely tweeted celebrating the fact that estate agents could remain open in Tier 4 areas even.
Whilst the public are cruelly banned from going to a socially distanced restaurant space or from having dinner with their lonely granny in her kitchen because of the risk of spreading coronavirus, how is it acceptable for estate agents to be allowed to take members of the public into the private spaces of peoples' homes for viewings?
For jobsworth Jenrick, it seems, allowing prospective buyers and tenants to touch doors, walls and surfaces in confined spaces is not at all risky, but one is left wondering how he came to this conclusion. In June, the Independent revealed that the Conservative Party had received £11 million (or over a quarter of their donations) from the property sector since Boris Johnson became Prime Minister.
Pictured top: Disgracefully, Robert Jenrick MP and his government have not made property viewings a "restricted zone" in Tier 4 lockdown areas.
Stay Homes, Save Lives… But NOT if you're an estate agent… Why have estate agents not been lumped into "non-essential" businesses forced to close by our incompetent government? The answer as to why "Stay Home, Save Lives" has not been applied to the property sector is unsurprising: A quarter of donations to the Tory Party comes from the property sector and we all know that Robert Jenrick enjoys Carlton Club suppers with rich developers like Richard Desmond.
Jenrick tweeted jubilantly about estate agents remaining open for business on Saturday. His government, meanwhile, has forced many other businesses to close and many of them will most likely tragically never reopen.
Twitter users were unsurprisingly unimpressed by Robert Jenrick's enthusiasm for estate agents remaining open. One, Gavin Wilkins, remarked: "So thanks to the announcement my mum's shit scared to come to my house for Xmas (she's on her own), but I can go to value or view as many houses as I want. Sums it all up. Shitshow – government should be ashamed."
Boris Johnson is equally happy to hang out with porn baron turned property developer. He should now be asked: "What first attracted you to the multi-millionaire Richard Desmond, Boris?"

Get rid of this Government now they are risking serious social unrest with their arrogance https://www.sdp.org.uk


The country comprises 76 provinces that are further divided into districts, sub-districts and villages. Bangkok is the capital city and centre of political, commercial, industrial and cultural activities. It is also the seat of Thailand's revered Royal Family, with His Majesty the King recognised as Head of State, Head of the Armed Forces, Upholder of the Buddhist religion and Upholder of all religions.
Thailand has had a constitutional monarchy since 1932. Parliament is composed of 2 houses, The House of Representatives and the Senate. Both representatives and senators are elected by the people. A prime minister elected from among the representatives leads the government. The country is divided into 76 provinces. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration comes under an elected governor. Appointed provincial governors administer the other 75 provinces (Changwat), which are divided into districts (Amphoe), sub-districts (Tambon) and villages (Mu Ban).
The red, white, and blue stripes symbolize the nation, Buddhism, and the monarchy, respectively.
The metric system is used throughout Thailand. Numerals on vehicle speed ohmmeters, highway markers and speed limits all indicate kilometres.
Thailand's mail service is reliable and efficient. Major hotels provide basic postal services on their premises. Provincial post offices are usually open from 8.00 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.
All of Thailand's leading hotels offer facsimile (fax) and e-mail services. Numerous private businesses offer such facilities, most often in conjunction with translation services.
Thailand has been expanding its information service for residents and tourists alike through the Internet system. Services are now available at Thailand's leading hotels and at the many " Cyber-Cafes " that are cropping up in all major tourist destinations.
For Bangkok calls, 02 is added to the existing numbers i.e. 0 2694 1222.
For provincial calls, an area code is added to the existing numbers. For example, area code for Chiang Mai is 053 = 0 5324 8604; area code for Phuket is 076 = 0 7621 1036.
For mobile phones, 01 or 09 is added to the existing numbers.
The new system has no effect on international phone calls.
The international dialing code for Thailand is 66.
When making international calls to Thailand, add 66 and omit the leading 0.
If calling Laos or Malaysia, there is a special code which is charged at a semi-domestic rate.

Do we have to change the way we think about Privacy?
January 28th, 2017 was data privacy day (https://staysafeonline.org/data-privacy-day/) and on this day I normally write a blog post or speak at some conference about important guidelines or best practices for data privacy. However, over the last year something has started to become more obvious to me as a result of my work. Data Privacy is not that simple. Yes, we can create systems and processes that help to prevent the leakage of data and those systems can be successful for companies. Policies, procedures and technical controls can help to protect financial and other sorts of confidential company data. That is, if the organization has and follows a good security and data privacy plan, which must also include facility security. While this seems simple, there are still so many data leaks. What is surprising is that Insider threats cause more than half of data leaks. Employees remain the biggest source of information leaks, both intentionally and unintentionally.
However, my area of research does not focus on whether or not what was predicted actually comes to fruition, but instead I focus on what are the threats of the future. I think everyone reading this brief post has some ideas on what those major threats may be, but I would like to suggest one on which there seems to be very little focus at this moment. The threat of public databases and the internet search engine and how that data should be influencing what should be considered personal and/or sensitive information that companies expose or use for research.
any proceedings for any offence committed or alleged to have been committed by the subject, the disposal of such proceedings or the sentence of any court in such proceedings.
These items seem quite easy for a company to protect but are they really? What about "inferred" personal or sensitive personal information? Who protects that data? If we look at insider threats and consider social media, search engines and public databases the insider threat is us, the data subjects. This is because friends, family, and ourselves like to share and sometimes overshare. This information becomes easy to find over time and can be used for good or bad ends.
I am a member of the Freemasons and I have undergone my 32nd Degree with the Scottish Rite.
1. Theft or Burglary-Another climber or an opportunistic thief was in the diner, he knew that I had to have extreme altitude climbing gear or expensive gear to climb to the peaks that I have already done – He has my address and enough information to case my house and plan to attempt to rob me before my dogs get him/her.
2. Spear phishing combined with social engineering-The person can find all my email addresses so they send me a mail from a "cousin in Philadelphia". I fall for it and transfer them money for some crisis, or worse I open a funny party video, that they downloaded from my cousins YouTube site and malware is installed on it, say a key logger, and they get my data and account information.
3. Retribution or Discrimination-For some reason I offended someone with my political views, they found my information on line and were enraged by my views and blamed them on the fact that I believed in God and drove to my house, sliced the tires on my car and broke windows, letting my dogs out before getting caught by the dogs.
There are more damages that can come from this and I will leave that to your imagination.
On a trip back from Moscow last year I met a nice woman on the flight, I will leave out the names and specifics so as not to leak her information and I will use other fake data in an attempt to protect her Identity. Carol (not her Name) was in a rush to get back to NJ as she missed her daughter and her boyfriend had been elected to a State Office in NJ (Not the actual state) when she was away and she wanted to celebrate with him. We had a great talk and discussed the cast on her arm (Not actually on her arm) and her profession "Kickboxing Teacher" (not her actual profession). Our conversation was interrupted a few times by a person sitting behind her that kept kicking her seat. Carol also got the attention of some men sitting around us that seemed to be listening to our conversation. She discussed her upcoming trip to Berlin and that she would be gone for two weeks and her daughter would be keeping her dog for that trip as there was no one local that could take care of the dog. In the end Carol said it was great talking to me and asked me if I wanted her email address so that we could stay in touch. I smiled and said "I bet I can find your email and full name without you telling me", she smiled and said "you are on". We exchanged no information. On getting home I went to my PC and I typed Carol, Kickboxing Teacher, NJ, Cancelled Classes. I found the place where she worked with a nice personal Bio of Carol, that discussed that how her dog (that she loved) was a great companion, particularly as she was living alone since her daughter had moved out. I also found her Boyfriends full name and the office to which he was elected to in NJ. With the full name I then found her emailed her and sent her the steps on how I found the information. She was shocked that I found so much and grateful that I pointed out these leaks of personal information to her.
So there is some personal information here, and if a bad actor is smart enough they can use this information to launch attacks against her. People on the plane around us could have overheard and used that very same information to impact her, her family and possibly even to impact an elected official. Beyond social engineering, she too could be impacted by the threat of burglary, harm or many of the very same issues I listed above in the first example. I am sure you can imagine more harms and of course remedies.
Should companies allow employees to post personal public or internal information on company web sites or collaboration mediums?
Should companies have to control the release of customer PII if the same information when combined with public search engines and public databases will lead to the release of personal health or other sensitive information?
Are we sharing to much information and does that information put us at risk?
