Zuckerberg Testifies Before House Energy And Commerce Committee : The Two-Way The Facebook CEO was grilled by members of the House of Representatives on Russian disinformation campaigns, third-party access to user data, abuses of Facebook's platform and other topics.
Lawmakers Push Zuckerberg On Security, Diversity, Drug Sales On Facebook
April 11, 20189:58 AM ET
After five hours of testimony before a joint session of two Senate committees on Tuesday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg returned to the Capitol for a second straight day of grilling — this time before the House.
For another five hours on Wednesday, Zuckerberg took questions from the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Representatives took a generally sharp tone, pushing Zuckerberg to commit to "yes or no" answers and occasionally exclaiming with mock surprise when he protested that he couldn't answer.
And the questions extended far beyond questions of security, privacy and data-sharing, addressing diversity at Facebook headquarters and whether the company is tacitly allowing illegal drug sales on the platform.
You can watch video of the proceedings above, or on YouTube via PBS. Or, of course, read on for highlights.
Mark Zuckerberg Tells Senate: Election Security Is An 'Arms Race'
The congressional hearings, Zuckerberg's first, come in the wake of a scandal in which Facebook user data was sold to Cambridge Analytica, a third-party group that assisted the Trump campaign. (Cambridge Analytica says it did not use the Facebook data in its 2016 election work.)
Zuckerberg has repeatedly apologized for the Cambridge Analytica scandal, while blaming the information-sharing on a researcher who, according to Facebook, violated the platform's terms of service.
Zuckerberg says he found out that the data was sold to Cambridge Analytica after The Guardian reported on the issue.
"Do you routinely learn about these violations through the press?" Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Pa., asked on Wednesday.
"Sometimes we do," Zuckerberg said.
He told members of the House that his own data was included in the privacy breach.

Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg prepares to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. This is the second day of testimony before Congress by Zuckerberg, 33.
A few of the other topics discussed in the hearing:
What is Facebook?
Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., committee chairman, noted that Facebook has exclusive broadcasting deals as well as tools that allow people to transfer money.
"Is Facebook a media company?" he asked. "Is Facebook a financial institution?"
Zuckerberg replied: "I consider us to be a technology company because the primary thing that we do is have engineers that write code and build products and services for other people. There are certainly other things that we do do. ... We build planes to help connect people, and I don't consider us to be an aerospace company."
Facebook has been testing planes that broadcast Internet signals to the ground.
Does Facebook's data collection amount to surveillance of users?
Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., accused Facebook of "the wholesale invasion and manipulation of users' right to privacy."
"What is the difference between Facebook's methodology and the methodology of the American political pariah J. Edgar Hoover?" he asked, referring to the former FBI director.
"The difference is extremely clear, which is that on Facebook you have control over your information," Zuckerberg said. "The content that you share, you put there. ... The information that we collect, you can choose to have us not collect. You can delete any of it, and of course, you can leave Facebook if you want.
"I know of no surveillance organization that gives people the option to delete the data that they have or even know what they're collecting," Zuckerberg said.
The Rise — And Stall — Of Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg
Do consumers understand what they've agreed to as they use Facebook?
Walden asked Zuckerberg, "Did it ever cross your mind that you should be communicating more clearly with users about how Facebook is monetizing their data?"
"I would say that we do try to explain what we do as time goes on," Zuckerberg said. Every time someone adds content to Facebook, he said, there is "a control right there about who you want to share it with. ... I think that in the product that's quite clear. I do think that we can do a better job of explaining how our advertising works."
Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas, approached the same question from a different angle. "Can the average layperson look at the terms and conditions and make the evaluation: Is this strong enough protection for me to enter into this arrangement?" he asked.
Zuckerberg said, "I think if someone wanted to know that they could, but a lot of people probably just accept terms of service without taking the time to read through it. I view our responsibility not as just legally complying with laying it out, getting that consent, but actually trying to make sure that people understand what's happening throughout the product."
He repeatedly said he believes users do understand how their data will be used. Multiple lawmakers expressed skepticism on that point.
The question of financial penalties
In an occasionally tense exchange, Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., challenged Zuckerberg over his company's billions of dollars in profit and what she described as the lack of financial penalty over prior privacy breaches.
She cited two settled class-action lawsuits — Lane v. Facebook, in which users received no compensation, and Fraley v. Facebook, in which users received $15 each. DeGette expressed surprise when Zuckerberg said he was not familiar with the details of the cases.
How To Check If Your Facebook Data Was Used By Cambridge Analytica
She also asked whether there was a financial penalty involved after a Federal Trade Commission investigation ended in a 2011 consent decree. Zuckerberg said he couldn't remember, which prompted more skepticism from DeGette.
"The reason you probably don't remember is because the FTC doesn't have the authority to issue penalties for first-time violations," she said.
"We continue to have these abuses and these data breaches, but at the same time, it doesn't seem like future activities are prevented," DeGette said. "I think one of the things that we need to look at in the future ... is putting really robust penalties in place in case of improper actions."
On racial diversity within Facebook's staff and leadership
Congressional Black Caucus member Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., said that Facebook lists five leaders on its website, none of whom are black. "This does not reflect America," he said.
"We have a broader leadership than just five people," Zuckerberg said.
"Do you plan to add an African-American to your leadership team in the foreseeable future and will you commit that you will continue to work with us, the Congressional Black Caucus, to increase diversity within your company?
"Congressman, we will certainly work with you," Zuckerberg said. "This is an important issue."
Butterfield asked for data on the retention of employees by race; Zuckerberg said he would discuss it with his team.
Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., also pushed Zuckerberg hard on the question of diversity, tying the "monolithic" makeup of the company to Facebook's failures to anticipate and prevent disinformation campaigns.
Is Facebook doing enough to stop opioid sales?
Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., brought up America's opioid crisis and posted a photo of drugs available for sale on Facebook, no prescription necessary.
"Your platform is still being used to circumvent the law and allow people to buy highly addictive drugs without a prescription," he said. "Facebook is actually enabling an illegal activity, and in so doing, you are hurting people."
Zuckerberg replied, "There are a number of areas of content that we need to do a better job policing on our service."
"You've said before you were going to take down those ads but you didn't do it," McKinley said. "When are you going to take them down? ... Where is your accountability to allow this to be occurring?"
Facebook Changing Privacy Controls As Criticism Escalates
Zuckerberg said Facebook relies on users flagging inappropriate content to be taken down. He said with billions of pieces of content shared daily, it was not feasible for the company to examine all those posts. But he said the company hopes to use artificial intelligence tools to help flag inappropriate content.
On Facebook's collection of data on non-Facebook users
Zuckerberg's congressional testimony has focused on how Facebook handles user data. But Rep. Ben Luján, D-N.M., pushed Zuckerberg on how exactly Facebook uses the data of people who are not users of the service.
Their conversation went like this:
Luján: "Facebook has detailed profiles on people who have never signed up for Facebook, yes or no?"
Zuckerberg: "In general, we collect data from people who have not signed up from Facebook for security purposes."
Luján: "... On average, how many data points does Facebook have on each Facebook user?"
Zuckerberg: "I do not know off the top of my head."
Luján: "The average for non-Facebook platforms is 1,500. It's been reported that Facebook has as many as 29,000 data points for an average Facebook user. Do you know how many points of data Facebook has on the average non-Facebook user?"
Zuckerberg: "Congressman, I do not off the top off my head, but I can have our team get back to you afterwards."
Luján: "I'd appreciate that. It's been admitted by Facebook that you do collect data points on non-Facebook users, so my question is, can someone who does not have a Facebook account opt out of Facebook's involuntary data collection?"
Zuckerberg: "Congressman, anyone can turn off and opt out of any data collection for ads, whether they use our services or not, but in order to prevent people from scraping public information ... we need to know when someone is trying to repeatedly access our services ... "
Luján: "You've said everyone controls their data, but you are collecting data on people who are not even Facebook users, that have never signed a consent, a privacy agreement, and you're collecting their data. And it may surprise you that on Facebook's page, when you go to 'I don't have a Facebook account and would like to request all my personal data stored by Facebook,' it takes you to a form that says, 'Go to your Facebook page and then on your account settings you can download your data.' ... You're directing people who that don't even have a Facebook page to have to sign up for a page to reach their data. We've got to fix that."
How does Facebook use information it collects, as opposed to what users provide?
In his testimony, Zuckerberg has consistently emphasized the information people voluntarily supply to Facebook — photos they upload, status updates they write, pages they click "like" on. He says people own that data and can delete it at any time. He also stresses that Facebook, while it uses that data to power its ad business, does not sell the data itself to advertisers.
Rep. Joe Kennedy, D-Mass., pressed Zuckerberg on something different — the "metadata" about users that Facebook gathers without users uploading it themselves. That includes things like when and how users access Facebook and what they click on or look at, including on sites other than Facebook. (The Wall Street Journal recently published a visual breakdown of data provided vs. data collected by various platforms.)
"There's an awful lot of information that is generated that people don't think that they're generating, and that advertisers are being able to target because Facebook collects it," Kennedy said.
"Yes," Zuckerberg said. "My understanding is that the targeting options that are available for advertisers are generally things that are based on what people share. Now, once an advertiser chooses how they want to target something, Facebook also does its own work to rank and determine which ads are going to be interesting to which people. So we may use metadata or other behaviors of what you've shown that you're interested in in news feeds or other places in order to make our systems more relevant to you, but that's a little bit different from giving that as an option to an advertiser."
"I don't understand how users then own that data," Kennedy said. He then ran out of time for questions.
On its business help pages, Facebook tells advertisers it can target ads based on, among other things, users' purchase behaviors and "activities people engage in on and off Facebook."
Lobbyists, Campaign Cash And Think Tanks: How Silicon Valley Tackled Politics
Members of Congress also asked pointed questions about how Facebook will defend civil rights — by preventing housing discrimination in advertising, for instance — whether the platform suppresses conservative speech or might in the future, and the degree of responsibility Facebook has over content on its platform, including disinformation.
On Tuesday, the hearing before the Senate covered many of the same topics as well.
As NPR's Peter Overby reported earlier this week, Facebook — like Silicon Valley in general — has grown more involved in Washington politics over the years:
"Facebook opened its D.C. office when it was five years old — and already worth billions. It routinely hires lots of top-tier, veteran lobbyists, as does Google.
"The current lobbying environment is ideal. Many lawmakers still don't fully grasp the technology. Congress long ago defunded its in-house technology office, which could have taught them.
"Facebook reported its 2017 lobbying cost at nearly $12 million. Google spent even more: $18 million. ... Some of the money goes to think tanks, where experts can shape policy debates on Capitol Hill. ... Then there's campaign money. ...
"Facebook's PAC and employees made political contributions totaling $4.5 million in the 2016 cycle, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. For Google's parent company, Alphabet, the total was nearly $8 million."

Toronto, Ontario, May 2, 2017 - Eastmain Resources Inc. ("Eastmain" or the "Company"- TSX:ER) is pleased to announce the receipt of assays from the first 9 drill holes from the 14-hole, Phase 2 drilling program at the Éléonore South Joint Venture ("ESJV") property. The 14-hole program consisted of 2,733 m of drilling and was completed in early April (see FIGURES 1 and 2 and Table 1, below). Assays are pending on the remaining 5 holes. The results of the Phase 1 program (see PR dated November 21, 2016) and the results of the Phase 2 program will be used to plan follow-up exploration on the JV property in the second half of 2017.
The ESJV diamond drilling program tested an area extending approximately 2 km, within a 4 km by 0.5 km prospective corridor, southwest from the Sirios/ESJV boundary. Specifically, drilling targeted the Moni and Trench prospect areas within a tonalite intrusion, and the tonalite contacts with metasediments further to the east. This large gold-bearing system is preliminarily interpreted as a late-stage hydrothermal-magmatic phase directly related to the tonalitic intrusion. The best drill intercept to date is 4.88 g/t Au over 45.0 m, including 37.9 g/t Au over 3.0 m in hole ES17-64, approximately 150 m southwest of the boundary (see FIGURE 2).
Hole ES17-64 was drilled 25 m west, and 25 m up-dip, of the Phase 1 hole ES16-51 (0.62 g/t Au over 79.1 m, incl. 5.00 g/t Au over 4.0 m). A 45 m-wide mineralized interval (4.88 g/t Au over 45.0 m) is hosted in tonalite with generally less than 1% arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite as disseminations or veinlets. Within this broad interval, higher grade intersections (37.9 g/t Au over 3.0 m and 15.1 g/t Au over 3.0 m) occur in strongly silicified tonalite carrying 3 mm to 10 mm wide clusters of visible gold, partially controlled by a tight quartz-chlorite stockwork and moderate biotite alteration (see PICTURES 1 and 2).
Hole ES17-60 targeted the interpreted SW strike extension of the Cheechoo discovery. Four intervals were encountered within a 144 m-wide anomalously mineralized core interval (all samples greater than 0.1 g/t) in albite and biotite altered tonalite with disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. Of the four mineralized intervals, one intercept (1.89 g/t Au over 22.5 m including 16.5 g/t Au over 1.5 m) contains disseminated arsenopyrite and bands of albite-actinolite alteration.
Hole ES17-61 was drilled 100 m east of hole ER17-60 and targeted the SW extension of the Cheechoo discovery. An interval (0.91 g/t Au over 16.5 m) was obtained in tonalite and pegmatite carrying disseminated arsenopyrite. Two millimetre-scale grains of visible gold were observed within this interval.
Further details regarding the description and interpretation will be provided once all results have been received.
Drilling results are presented over core lengths; true widths are unknown at this stage.
Intervals are based on geological observations and limited compositing of veins. Assays presented are not capped. Intercepts occur have not been correlated to individual vein domains at this time.
Vertical depth is calculated from the surface to the mid-point of the reported interval.
This press release and information provided by the manager of the Éléonore JV, was reviewed by William McGuinty, P. Geo., Eastmain's VP Exploration and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
Drill core samples were sent to ALS Minerals in Val-d'Or, Quebec. Gold was analyzed by fire assay with atomic absorption and gravimetric finish for grades above 3.0 g/t Au. Samples were also analyzed for a 48-element suite using ICP. Azimut applies industry-standard QA/QC procedures to the program. Certified reference materials, blanks and field duplicates were inserted in all drill core shipments to the laboratory.

Reuniting virtually all of the personnel from Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind, For Your Consideration is a middling Hollywood comedy that trods familiar ground and never quite gets its comedic feet under it. Once again, as in A Mighty Wind, co-writer and director Christopher Guest's affection for his characters undermines the potential for humor. The subject of Oscar hype in Hollywood might be ripe for scathing satire, but all this movie can manage is a softball thrown underhand.
Jay Berman (Guest) is directing a small (very small) period film called Home for Purim, about a Jewish family gathering for a holiday in the American South during the 1940s. The mother is dying and their estranged daughter returns with her lesbian lover. The mother is played by Marilyn Hack (Catherine O'Hara), an insecure actress known mostly for a role playing a blind prostitute back in the eighties. Her husband is played by Victor Allan Miller (Harry Shearer), a middle-aged actor most recognizable for playing a hot dog in commercials for a line of kosher wieners. His agent (Eugene Levy) has more excuses than paying jobs. Playing the daughter is a tightly wound ex-standup comic named Callie Webb (Parker Posey).
The project is humming along in blissful obscurity when an Oscar buzz for Marilyn, Victor and Callie starts appearing on the Internet. Suddenly, the little film is the center of a lot of attention from both the media and the studio, who is beginning to fear that the movie is perhaps a little "too Jewish." This doesn't sit too well with the film's writers, two slumming playwrights (Bob Balaban and Michael McKean, who looks alarmingly like Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati).
The film's stars find themselves on the usually array of brainless "entertainment news" shows, including an obvious take-off on Entertainment Tonight hosted by Jane Lynch and Fred Willard (who mostly just rehashes his bits from Best in Show). The biggest problem here is that, while the targets are recognizable, they are also obvious and the comedy directed at them is limp at best. This movie doesn't have much to say about the movie business that wasn't said more bitingly by Blake Edwards 25 years earlier in S.O.B. Also, while the target is contemporary Hollywood, the acting in the movie-within-the-movie is so not contemporary in style that it seems like you are watching someone's erroneous idea of what bad acting was like in 1946.
While this movie is not done in the same "mockumentary" style of Guest's previous works, he does employ the same improvisation approach and I think this might have been the real mistake. This movie needed a tighter hand to give its humor the focus it needs.
While I won't give away the ending, it shouldn't come as a huge surprise given Guest's affection for characters who are lovable losers. Frankly, I think a better, much funnier movie could have been made about a movie that cleaned up at Oscar time and then was denounced for beating what was perceived as a much worthier film, like what happened when Shakespeare in Love beat out Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture of 1998. Seriously, is there any left alive who thinks that Shakespeare was the better movie?

You'll be glad to know that cholesterol is actually essential for health: We need it to form certain hormones and to build up all our cellular membranes. The problem is when we have too much of this sticky, waxy substance in the blood.
Your blood cholesterol numbers are how your doctor gauges how much cholesterol is in your blood, and are used to predict your chances of getting heart disease. High amounts of cholesterol in the blood increases the chance that it will build up and form plaque on the artery wall. When this happens, your heart has to work that much harder to pump blood to the rest of your body. It may even lead to a heart attack or stroke if your vessels become blocked.
LDL cholesterol can lead to the formation of plaque, a waxy deposit that can clog blood vessels. Clogged arteries can eventually result in a heart attack or stroke. Clogging in small vessels in the arms and legs can lead to peripheral artery disease.
HDL cholesterol's role is to find and carry excess LDL cholesterol back to the liver so it can be processed and removed. An optimal level of HDL may protect against heart attack and stroke.
Okay, triglycerides aren't a form of blood cholesterol, they're actually fat. Triglycerides do work hand-in-hand with cholesterol to increase your risk for heart issues, though. High levels of triglycerides in the blood are linked to atherosclerosis, a condition where plaque builds up in your arteries.
An increased level of triglycerides can be caused by multiple lifestyle factors: obesity, physical inactivity, cigarette smoking, excess alcohol consumption and a diet very high in carbohydrates.
Your total cholesterol is calculated using the following equation: HDL + LDL + 20 percent of your triglyceride level.
Make oats your breakfast of choice. Oatmeal is a versatile breakfast cereal that's also high in soluble fiber, a nutrient that may help lower your total and LDL-cholesterol. Bonus points for adding fruits high in soluble fiber such as bananas, apples and pears.
Plan two dinners every week featuring fish. Fatty fish is high in omega-3 fats, which has been shown to reduce your overall risk for heart disease. Sadly, many of us don't get enough of this important fat in our diet! So, forgo the usual chicken, beef and pork in favor of mackerel, trout, herring, salmon, tuna and halibut. For inspiration, check out Zipongo's seafood recipes category on the Zipongo Mobile App.
Get your cardio on! Activities that get your heart pumping have been shown to bring your cholesterol profile back in balance. Exercise can increase your HDL cholesterol (aka "good" cholesterol) and decrease inflammation. So, go on! Get out there and dance, run, jog or power walk to a healthier heart.

I've been thinking about changing my hosted WordPress.com blog to a self hosted WordPress blog, for a couple of reasons, one of them being the ability to change to the layout I want. I've been talking about this with some people who are a bit more technical than I am (that's not so difficult either) and decided to keep it on WordPress.com for a little longer.
Since the design of this blog was one of the reasons, I checked out the themes in the WordPress.com gallery to see if I couldn't switch to a new one. I always liked the Emire theme a lot, but I felt it was time for something new. That's why I'm trying this new one (Freshy), let me know what you think, and if someone could give me some help on creating a new header image that suits 'Cross The Breeze, please let me know (780×95 pixels).

Ex-NXIVM member gives insight into what he experienced
By An Ex -NXIVM Student
Frank, I am writing this as personal closure. Hopefully, my testimony will help someone. I am giving you my consent to publish my testimony as long as you keep it intact (you may do a spell check/grammar correction if necessary).
My suggestion would be to publish it in 6 different parts in order not to make it too long, but I understand it is your blog and it would be your decision.
I am a Mexican male. That is all the personal details I will share as nothing else is necessary.
Before I tell you my story, I want to say that during the time I attended ESP courses, and when I mingled with people who belonged to ESP, I did not witness anything illegal. Neither did I have the suspicion that something illegal was happening.
I will try to be as objective as possible in my recollection of the facts.
PART 1 – THE 5 DAY INTENSIVE
More than 13 years ago, I met a girl. She was joyful and smart and we started being friends. I will call her Jane. As we started to trust each other more, she invited me and another friend to an ESP introductory session, in which a high-ranked member explained vaguely what ESP was about.
They mentioned who Keith Raniere was and they talked about all the already known 'selling points' about him: He was among the top three best problem solvers in the world, he had an IQ off the charts, he was a child prodigy, he had created a very innovative technology based on physics and mathematics, etc.
My friend and I thought that it was a bit too much and seemed like brainwashing. We did not talk about it afterward.
Jane, however, used to swear by ESP. She was a coach (yellow sash) at the time and was very convinced about the organization and was constantly taking courses (and giving them) and hanging out with people from ESP. She even mentioned that she had achieved much of her personal growth due to ESP and was constantly talking about it to everyone.
As time passed, Jane and I started dating, but after some more time, things did not go as expected and in an attempt to revive the relationship, I told her that I would attend an ESP intensive of 5 days. Her whole face lit up as she had been wanting me to join ESP for some time.
She immediately took out an application for me to fill out (I now guess she always carried one).
If I had not fully trusted Jane, I would never have attended ESP — but that is how they recruit… through personal trust.
I attended the 5-day intensive with 9 other people. I guess there were as many staff as attendees.
I cannot complain about super-long hours (although at the end of the day it felt like it feels after a hard day at work), harassment, unusual temperature, sleep deprivation or bad food.
On the positive side, it was refreshing to spend 5 days among individuals (the attendees) who shared similar values and ideas about the world. The classroom environment was safe and I felt I could share anything with the group without being judged. Everyone was very relaxed, joyful, positive and helpful, including staff members. I did not witness any discomfort from anyone.
During those 5 days, it was as if we were taught the definitions or the foundation under which ESP operated. Overall I felt as if I had a positive experience, but in retrospect, I now realize that there were some details that I ignored:
We were introduced to the ranking system (sashes) and I found it strange that the highest ranked member was about 5-6 ranks below Nancy Salzman and it seemed impossible for anybody to go through all the ranks as if it was designed to have people always looking for more.
They told us that Keith should be addressed as Vanguard because he was the head of a new philosophical movement, which I thought was loony…
They talked about taxes as if they were justifying themselves on the fact that they were not paying them. At the time, I thought that no serious organization would openly talk about this topic.
They talked about money and why it was important to make more – as it was a reflection of you as a person.
Throughout the 5 days, Ayn Rand was repeatedly quoted. I had never heard about her before, but she was cited with such arrogance and authority that I thought she was an important philosopher. When I later read Ayn Rand and investigated more about her, things started to feel weird.
We were taught about disintegrations and when I asked if Keith had zero disintegrations, the head trainer told me that no one knew, but what was important was to focus on myself rather than on other people (I now realize that he skillfully avoided the question).
We went through the module in which they explain why ESP is not a cult. Basically, they told us that you cannot be brainwashed if you do not consent to it. To be honest, I did not give this module much thought.
During the 5 days, I was bombarded with love and praises by the staff members. Perhaps everyone was, but I did not notice it. This made me feel very important and appreciated and left a very good impression on me.
I finished the 5-day intensive and moved on with my life. I learned some concepts that I liked and helped me become more productive at work. My overall assessment of the course was positive.
Since, at the time, I had not been exposed to any other personal growth methodologies and did not know anything about PNL, some of the concepts that we learned were innovative to me (and ESP never discloses that some of those tools-concepts-skills were not invented by them).
After the intensive, I did some research on Keith, Nancy and ESP (there were no smartphones at the time, so I had to do it from a computer at home) and found the "Cult of Personality" article from Forbes. The article surprised me when it mentioned that someone had had a mental breakdown at an intensive.
Although we reviewed a lot of material, I did not think that someone could have had such reaction from just taking the course. I found the claims by Tony Natalie exaggerated. The fact that Keith had been involved in a MLM company with a pyramid schemed raised a red flag inside my head.
I do not remember if I read a Rick Ross article at this time or if it was later on, but I found some articles about Nancy a bit troubling.
I confronted Jane about the articles that I found and she told me that there were many things on the internet that were not necessarily true and that in the case of the Forbes article, Edgar Bronfman was so angry at his daughters that he had arranged to have the article published (some rich families are unusual…). She also told me that I should take whatever I found useful from the course and apply it in my life. She also encouraged me to recruit more members to ESP in order to move up through the rank system.
At this point, I had never met Keith or Nancy (just Nancy through the videos) so they remained abstract figures. But my small investigation left me with a somehow bitter taste in my mouth…

Ex NXIVM student" Part 2 – The 'Ethos' Program – Frank Report says:
[…] October 2, 2018 By An Ex -NXIVM Student See part 1 for introduction […]
Sunshine on the Water Makes Me Happy says:
Just wanted to clarify something about Heidi's story.
Even though Gina's suicide didn't happen until 2003 —- FrankReport has made it clear that Gina was allegedly harmed/raped/abused by Keith beginning way back in the 1980's when she was a teen.
Therefore Heidi accepted a $10k payment from Keith long after she knew damn well that he'd been harming her sister for many years. Yet Heidi likes to imply that she's a hero in this story, or at least one of the good guys.
Heidi knew FULL WELL that her sister was abused in various ways by Keith going back to the 1980's, both mentally and physically. Yet Heidi still accepted a $10k payment from Keith anyway (according to her article). That's a hypocrite in my opinion.
I also find her "slogan" story a bit bizarre.
Heidi ranted that Keith is a thief who's not the true owner of that slogan, but then she simultaneously confirms that she accepted Keith's $10,000 "as payment for that slogan".
It's called a contract. You either accepted it or you refused his terms and returned payment.
If it was a gift from Keith, you wouldn't have said it was payment for the slogan, right?
I'm just amazed that after all the harm that Keith caused to you and Gina (going back to the 1980's), that you didn't return that money immediately (the same day) and tell him to go fuck himself.
I would have refused that money if somebody had abused my sister for many years like that.
I guess you're not the saint and martyr that you like to pretend to be.
I just feel sorry for your husband that you admit to leaving. It takes a real heartless person to leave her husband like that on a whim. You're no hero in this story Heidi.
You're just a remorseful villain in my opinion, somebody who deserves very little praise in this NXIVM story.
…And Keeffe did all kinds of harm to many people before leaving NXIVM, which you alone don't have the power to forgive, you twat. Who cares if you forgive her.
To make amends she needs to testify for the prostitution, otherwise she's just a selfish twat who is a villain in this story and not a hero.
I meant "prosecution" — not prostitution, LOL
🌻🌼🌷🌸🌹🥀 says:
No, you were right the first time. She should testify for the whores.
And my…. how quickly you changed….don't blink, right?
Here's a fitting Ayn Rand quote for Keith. We can evade reality- But we cannot evade the consequences of reality. Keith loved to steal others ideas and pass them off as his own.
This is an interesting story being posted, I think we all would like to hear what Esp was like for the average person who was never part of the inner circle, who got talked into taking a class by a pretty girl.
This story has numerous similarities to how Amway and other MLM scams operate.
shadowstate1958 says:
NXIVM/ESP used attractive, friendly, personable young women to disarm potential recruits.
People who do not seem threatening.
And when necessary NXIVM used actresses to seal the deal.
What one will find is that the serious corruption was centered in the home office near Albany.
Few of the people in Vancouver were involved.
The closer the NXIVMleader was to Raniere and Albany the more likely that person was to be marinated in NXIVM corruption.
So far the most corrupt have been Raniere, the Bronfmans, Mack and Clyne and the Salzmans.
The main exception to that is Emiliano Salinas and his boy friend Betancourt.
Even limiting that corruption to Albany leaves up to 150 people as potential criminal defendants or serious witnesses to criminal behavior.
Vancouver does seem to get a lot of blame when they are the ones who made Nxivm look legitimate. It's hard to hold to much power over someone living in another country. Mexico is a whole different set up than Vancouver.
Were you involved with NXIVM? The Vancouver branch was still making money and providing women for Raniere. And Canadian money was hidden.
A great article. Keep it coming.
This is much better than the stuff written by Heidi the Hypocrite.
Heidi likes to talk about how evil Keith was to her sister, but then she admits to accepting $10k from Keith even after he supposedly harmed her own sister, instead of IMMEDIATELY giving that money back and telling Keith to go fuck himself (what kind of sister accepts money from a man who she claims harmed her own sister?).
Heidi's a hypocritical troll, who likes to attack others and pretend to be righteous.
Thank you for putting the dollar sign in front of the number. Heidi is all about Heidi, she couldn't care less about others, particularly the millions currently being scammed by MLMs.
Flowers says:
Do we even know for sure that the person posting here under the name "Heidi" is really Heidi Hutchinson? She could have read the articles about Gina, and decided to use the identity.
This could be why her story doesn't really make sense. And why she won't agree to go on Scott's program.
ESP teaches its members to play víctim whenever confronted with the truth of it being a fraudulent and criminal organization.
No. They just teach you to lie.
Prior to this whole criminal prosecution situation starting, the only time you were allowed to be a victim was when they were telling you that you had to say you were one so they could then tell you that you can't say you are one because there are no ultimate victims.
You aren't even supposed to ever address an accusation, because that would give it credibility, and everybody is supposed to be pretending everything is perfect.
Like Kristin Crook.
"And Canadian money was hidden" says:
And how do you KNOW?

Ubuntu-my t-shirt printing - The Community have decided.
could we cut the price?
Previously, I've told you that I only found one printer who can print it on time. I couldn't spend much time to search for other printers due to my busy schedule which mean I don't have much choices. So, I leave it to them to find and select other printers that suit their requirement.
Colored Embroidery logo - on sleeve (and pocket side if possible). Actual size is 6x6 cm.
Silkscreen print on back, and pocket side (if couldn't do embroidery on pocket side). Back design actual size is A4 Landscape.
Price remain RM50 (they will try to reduce this) and those who ordered have to pay A.S.A.P. which is handled by wanfahmi (itiknila). This is because we don't have any community fund to pay it to printer and we are not getting any profit from that amount.
So, the order form is still open and you can still make your t-shirt order until they close it. I'm also leaving this handled by them.
If you like to print them yourself, I've make the source openly available under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 License. You can download the Artwork Source and print or play with it. I use Inkscape version 0.46 before you ask.
OK, that's all I think. I'm off now. Any further questions can be asked on Ubuntu Malaysia Community Mailing List or Ubuntu Malaysia official IRC channel. Cheers!!


That Dr David Livingstone was a great man goes without saying. How else can a man have his name in monuments in so many countries in Africa, America and Europe?
Livingstone's life is well-documented, in books, journals and he provides fodder for the historian seeking to piece up history.
To the Malawian, Livingstone occupies a great space. Apparently, Malawi history records that the evangelist and medical doctor brought to Malawi commerce, modern medicine, Christianity and civilisation.
We forsake the fact that there were iron smelters in the land before Livingstone set in, hence the name Malawi. The name is derived from the flames of fire rising from their furnances.
Obviously, the iron smelters were selling their wares, either in exchanging of food or cowrie shells.
There was fair trade before Livingstone. History teaches us of the barter trade before the arrival of Livingstone. That the natives healed the sick, however crude the means, before he set foot on the land is also clear in illustrations in history books.
That Livingstone discovered the lake is also quite surprising because we are told that he asked the people what the big body of water was called, and the natives replied: "Nyasa." In Yao, nyasa is lake and Livingstone was claimed to have discovered Lake Nyasa, which is also referred to in some texts as Lake Niyesse, a corruption of what the locals called nyenyezi—a star. Livingstone was no stranger to the bright stars sparkling on the lake that he eventually referred to as the Lake of Stars.
It goes beyond doubt that Livingstone played a great part in the termination of slavery that was rampant in Africa at the time of his expeditions, which began with his setting out to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil between 1840 and 1841 until his death at Chitambo in Zambia in 1873. Credit must be given to Livingstone for introducing education and a religion that has seen the good people better and the bad people good.
The glow, sadly, has to depart from the saints at times. There is an aspect of Livingstone that is often obscured by his bright side. It is given that he is one of the forerunners for African countries, including Malawi.
It must be noted that at the time Livingstone came to Africa, it was referred to as the Dark Continent. This is so because much of Africa was not yet 'discovered' and this led to many gaps on the world map. Others saw Africa as a land of brutal and savage barbarians, an inferior race.
As Joseph Conrad notes in his novel The Heart of Darkness, there were many blank spaces on the earth, the biggest—most blank—so to speak was Africa. In the work, Africa is portrayed as a dark place, alien to civilisation. This is the work that led later African authors like Chinua Achebe to come up with works like Things Fall Apart, which sought to clear the notion that there was no civilisation in Africa before the Europeans set in.
George Seaver notes in David Livingstone: His Life and Letters, that on coming to Africa, Livingstone believed in European supremacy over Africans. In a letter on his Zambezi expedition, seaver quotes Livingstone as having written: "We come among them (the Africans) as members of a superior race and as servants of a Government that desires to elevate the more degraded portions of the human family. We are adherents of a benign holy religion and may by consistent conduct and wise patient efforts become the harbingers of peace to a hitherto distracted and down-trodden race."
Seaver continues to observe that Livingstone believed Christianity and commerce would produce civilisation in Africa.
In Narrative of the Expedition to the Zambesi and its Tributaries, Livingstone wrote: "We don't believe in the incapacity of the African, either in mind or heart.... The Africans have wonderfully borne up under unnatural conditions, that would have proved fatal to most races."
When he dicovered Lake Shirwa (Lake Chilwa) and Lake Nyasa (Lake Malawi) in 1859, the slave trade was at its peak. African slaves were being shipped from the African inland and in Malawi, the popular slave house at Linga in Nkhota Kota was a point of conduit for the slave trade. Therefore, the 'discovery' of Lake Malawi helped in conquering the slave traders.
There is a thin line separating Livingstone's fight against slavery and the expansion of his own economic thirsts. At the time, the British were buying cotton from America. This infuriated Livingstone, who believed white emigration and capital investment overseas were instruments in the creation of an international human brotherhood.
He felt the British were wrong to continue purchasing cotton which was grown by slaves in America. He thought, and rightly so, that that contributed to continued slavery. In his view, Malawi cotton, which was to be grown all the way from the Shire-Zambezi confluence to the lake, would fetch 400 percent of that grown in cotton.
"For giving increasing prices for slave-grown sugar and cotton. We are great supporters of slavery," Livingstone wrote.
Malawi first produced cotton at a commercial scale in 1904, when 26 tons were produced. Ten years later, the produce grew six fold. Livingstone believed cotton would be Nyasaland's main cash crop, but it was consequently overtaken by tea and tobacco. It can be noted that cotton was foremost on Livingstone's mind since he was born and bred in Blantyre, Lanarkshire where cotton was a raw material for most of the industries. As a matter of fact, Livingstone himself had worked for the Blantyre Cotton Mills as a piecer and spinner for 13 years from 1823 before he entered Anderson's College, Glasgow University to study medicine and theology.
Livingstone's commercial interests in Nyasaland were evident with the setting up of the Livinsgtonia Central Africa Company, which late became the African Lakes Company and finally the African Lakes Corporation. It is here that the other side of Livingstone becomes evident, as a forerunner of British imperialism in Malawi.
In After Livingstone, Fred Moir recounts how he accompanied Livingstone in his expeditions on the Shire and Lake Nyasa. Fred and his brother John became founding fathers of the Mandala Limited of the African Lakes Corporation.
Moir wrote that the purposes for the expeditions included: to discover the best method of utilising the river and lake to establish regular mail and goods transport services and to make friends with the natives.
Events after Livingstone's 1873 death, show the growth of the European interest in Nyasaland's wealth. The coming of Mandala as the largest trading houses in the country bears witness to that.
Of particular note, here are the decsendants of Livingstone who were influential in the running of Mandala as a corporate intetity. One was Alexander Bruce, who married Livingstone's daughter Agness. Al Bruce as he was called was in-charge of the Likulezi Estate at the height of the land alienation in Nyasaland, where native Africans were forced to work for no pay under the Thangata System.
The other was William Jarvis Livingstone, who was a grandson of the explorer. Historian Landeg White in Magomero: Portrait of a Village notes that Livingstone was a great cotton planter, who developed a new cotton variety called the Nyasaland Upland, which fetched more than the first grade of American Upland. He helped realise the explorer's dream to sell to Britain cotton that was not grown by the slaves. Little is mentioned, however, that he used the Thangata to cultivate the 169,000 acres of land that he managed.
W. J. Livingstone is also known as Listonia to the natives during the uprising against colonialism that was led by John Chilembwe in 1915. It is this Livingstone who burned down churches and schools which Chilembwe built. It is this Livingstone that Chilembwe's forces beheaded.
It must also be noted that Chilembwe and his forces broke into the Mandala manager's house where they stole guns to use in their struggle. It is clear that Chilembwe's political struggle was partly against the capitalist system that was set by the colonialists.
While David Livingstone's descendants were on the forefront of a brutal colonial force that began with Nyasaland becoming a British Protecorate in 1891, it is worth noting that Livingstone played a role in bringing about African nationalism in the land.
The coming of the Church of Scotland, Dutch Reformed Church, Free Church of Scotland and other missions like the Universities Mission to Central Africa at the close of the 19th Century saw the establishment of schools, apart from the churches they built, from where many native Nyasas got education. These Africans were aware of Livingstone's belief that 'the stupid prejudice against colour'.
The native Nyasas, who became teachers, evangelists, proto-nationalists, rose to fight for the freedom of their country in later years, long after Chilembwe's death. Some of the notable names that went through the education system include Kamuzu Banda, who led Nyasaland to independence in 1964, Clements Kadalie, Daniel Malikebu and others.
Like every coin, Livingstone's life had two sides. On one side, he was a great conqueror of slavery, one who introduced education, religion, modern medicine and commerce. Yet, on the flip side, he is a forerunner of British imperialism in Africa. These two sides cannot outweigh each other, because they make the historic figure whole.


Why Avoid a Rubber Stamp Renewal?
Sometimes prospective new clients, who are approaching their medical malpractice insurance expiration date, find it easier to just take the rubber stamp approach and renew the same old insurance policy for the new year. After all, everyone is busy and this "rubber stamp renewal" approach might seem a good way to save time. But, as in the poem below by Robert Frost, maybe it would be better to take the road less traveled?
While the less traveled road might seem like more work initially, taking the rubber stamp renewal approach with the wrong coverage could cost significantly more in terms of both time and dollars in the future. Without the right coverage, and an agent to serve as an advocate, a medical practice can quickly find themselves in a financial bind and having to deal with unnecessary litigation.

Here in Texas winter is quickly thawing and with it so too does the gaming market heat up. March features a console launch along with a solid list of AAA titles to see you through the end of slush.
Every time I think about this game I feel a sense of calm come over me and I swear I hear angels sing. That's what can happen when a new game in your favorite series is released. Given the scale of Breath of the Wild shown off in early videos, I'm preparing to let this game consume my gaming life for the foreseeable future.
As if a new Zelda game wasn't enough, baseball's opening day is tantalizingly close. Nothing marks its arrival like MLB: The Show. A sports game you can always count on to show a marked annual improvement; it's the only sports game I will continuously pick up. Oh, and this year's game heavily features 90's Baseball God Ken Griffey Jr. and a retro mode, for which I am always a sucker. Play ball.
I skipped the 3rd entry of Mass Effect after reading up on the lackluster finish to the story, Andromeda might be enough to pull me back in though. Combat looks greatly improved, with greatly enhanced movement abilities, and a wide variety of enemy types. A built-up set of RPG features could turn Andromeda into the sci-fi equivalent of Witcher III.
February is here, and while many of us are still writing 2016 on everything (or maybe it's just me), the video game calendar waits for no one. The second month of 2017 is a bit sparse, but that's not necessarily a bad thing for me. I'm still working on a backlog a mile wide, so a month like this ends up turning into a "future sales wishlist" so to speak. Here are a few games of which I'm keeping note.
A port of the similarly named Wii U title. I never did buy Wooly World, but I played a few levels on various occasions and it was as solid as any Nintendo platformer. Don't expect it to be groundbreaking, but it should be a fun game to play on-the-go, and its visuals are gorgeous for a handheld.
The final beta just wrapped up for this game, and if it's half as fun to play as it is to watch it should be a hit. Matches look intense, and the skill ceiling seems to separate the good from the great in a satisfying way. There are some potential technical hiccups to get past (peer-to-peer networking being a prime example), but I still expect For Honor to have plenty of potential given a week month of game releases.
There are dozens of us that loved the first Halo Wars on Xbox 360. It was a simple but fun game that did a solid job of bringing the RTS genre to a console, and it was a great source of Halo-lore for dedicated fans of the series. If Halo Wars 2 can pick up the pace of play in matches, and have a meaningful story, it should be a great addition to the Halo universe.
January is traditionally a slower month for video game releases. Holiday hangovers are still in full effect in mind, body, and wallets, so it's rare to see a blockbuster game released early in the year. The first month of 2017 does have a few big name games to look forward too though, especially if you like ports. Here are a few games of the month to keep an eye on.
A stylistic and story-driven indie sidescroller, Night in the Woods follows Mae, a college dropout who returns home to find things aren't as she remembers. I didn't know about Night in the Woods until I started this post, but the videos I've seen give off a subtly creepy vibe that's really caught my eye. From its art to its gameplay, Night in the Woods looks to be different in a lot of ways and I can't wait to try it.
I never played the original on PSP Vita, but I may have to try this sequel coming to PS4 later this month. It's hard to describe the gameplay I've seen so far, so check out the video above. From what I can tell it's an action/beat'em up that makes use of the environment to create some really exciting combat. Might also be in my best interests to pick up some motion sickness pills along with it.
Road Redemption looks like dumb, over the top, carnage-inducing fun, and I really want to play it with a group of friends. This looks like cops and robbers style gameplay on steroids. Who can say no to a game that lets you kick a friend in the face from a motorcycle, then hit another with a baseball bat before dodging an 8 car pileup?
New year's is a holiday for reflection, and we here at Games and Grinds are ready to jump in on the fun. As per usual, a lack of funds and free time meant my backlog grew exponentially this year, but I did manage to get my hands on a few fantastic games. For me 2016 was the year I renewed my interest in FPS, found a few indie gems, and fell in love with some of my favorite series all over again. Check out the list below to see which games stuck out during a year of gaming greatness.
My shooter of the year, hands down. Overwatch dominated my summer this year and more. It's been a long time since I dedicated large amounts of time to an FPS, but the amount of polish Blizzard put into Overwatch kept me coming back for more. From the maps to the characters, every inch of this game is oozing with personality and charm. This personality translates into gameplay that supports a wide variety of playstyles with characters that fit into nearly every niche. Whether you're a tank, shooter, healer, defender, or some combination in between, I'm pretty sure anyway can find an enjoyable way to play. It's hard for me to get excited over a multiplayer-only game, but Overwatch pushes all the right buttons.
It'll take a while to see whether Civ 6 survives the test of time, but there's no doubt this is a solid addition to the Civilization series and a great jump off point for future development. I love the amount of detail and thought that goes into each new city you build during a game of Civ 6. Each one develops differently according to the resources surrounding it, giving the city and country as a whole a unique feeling. It really helps give each new game a fresh spin. There are still a few AI and balance tweaks to fix, but overall I'm quite happy with the newest Civilization installment.
I haven't played nearly as much of BF1 as I would have liked since its launch, but what I have played has been pretty damn good. The standard Battlefield formula is about as foolproof as you can get, and the WWI aesthetic gives every battle a grandiose feeling that creates some awe-inspiring moments. The Operations game mode could be one of the best additions to multiplayer gaming I've seen in years. It's a simple concept, but playing a series of attack/defend scenarios tied together across several maps gives each round an overarching narrative with a bit more punch than your average pvp games.
Well, It's been a month since we moved back to Texas from Hawaii, and things seem to be settling in quite nicely. It was a long moving process that provided plenty of learning experiences, chief among them being the harrowing experience of shipping our gaming rig nearly 4000 miles. It wasn't the easiest task, but after a month since it was set up everything seems to have survived the trip. With the stress of it all behind me, I figured it would be a great opportunity to share a few tips I learned while packing and shipping our beloved gaming pc.
This only applies if you're looking to keep your monitor in the first place. I sold mine during our move because I trashed the box when I first built my rig. I ended up selling it on Craigslist as a result. Not a huge inconvenience, but it would have been nice to just pack up the monitor and move along. So take note, keep your monitor boxes and packaging, nothing will hug your monitor tighter or keep it more safe on its journey.
This is a good housekeeping tip more than anything. If you're going to pack up your rig for shipment, you certainly want to take care and ensure everything is screwed/clipped down and mounted properly. Likewise, if you're going to open your tower up you might as well take some time to clean it out. I removed and wiped down all of my fans and took a can of dust-off to everything else. Probably a bit of overkill, but I was so unsure of whether my tower was going to survive the trip I wanted to make sure it had a proper sendoff.

Senior Spotlight: Skyler Goo
Lexzen Agbayani-Shibao, Writer
Have you heard of one of the top soccer players in the state by the name of Skyler Goo? Skyler Goo was tied in Division II with the most goals scored in the country. Although Goo and the Crusaders came up short in the Division II state championship against Kapaa, that does not take or put shame on Goo's name. He is still one of the top players in Division II and even in the whole state. Goo also made Division II All-State team. He has received many offers from many from the top soccer Colleges in the country one, for example, is Portland State University. I asked Goo "What will you do after high school?" He replied, "Play Division I soccer at UNLV and major in construction engineering."
Skyler Goo is originally from Mililani, although he moved to Pearl City for a little bit. He ended up moving back to his hometown, Mililani. I asked Goo some more questions, one question I asked him was "When did you start attending Saint Louis?" He said, "I started Saint Louis in 8th grade." Another question I asked him was "What was your most memorable memory at Saint Louis so far?" He stated, "When we made states for soccer for the first time in school history." That is quite the accomplishment to be apart of the first Saint Louis soccer team ever to make states. Lastly, I asked him "How would you explain Saint Louis to a boy who wants to come to Saint Louis?" He said "I think that Saint Louis is an excellent school because they always talk about the Brotherhood. Before I came in 8th grade, I did not know much of the brotherhood, but when you are at Saint Louis, you can feel it.
My name is Lexzen Agbayani-Shibao, I was born in Wahiawa and raised in Mililani. I am a senior and I attend Saint Louis School. Also I play football for...
