  1. Nutritionists also called for a balanced diet, food pyramid etc decades ago... How did that work out?
  2. There must be a great behind the scenes story to this stunt....
  3. something doesn’t “feel” right about this. 🙂

  8. July 28 1945 - A US Army B-25 bomber crashes into the Empire State Building between the 78th and 79th floors. An engine plunges down an elevator shaft, sparking a fire in the basement. Eleven people in the building were killed, in addition to the three man bomber crew. Elevator operator Betty Lou Oliver survived a plunge of 75 stories inside an elevator, which still stands as the Guinness World Record for the longest survived elevator fall recorded. Amazingly the building did not collapse.
  9. Elon Musk is fighting to keep his ex-girlfriend, the musician Grimes, from being subpoenaed in the trial over the infamous take-private ordeal.
  10. Marriott (+5.97%) gave us more details about a November hack of its Starwood reservation database—one of the largest data breaches ever. The good news: The hotel chain chopped the number of affected customers to an "upper limit" of 383 million, down from 500 million. The bad news that kind of cancels out the good news: Hackers swiped about 5 million unencrypted passport numbers. That amounts to a "potential foreign-intelligence gold mine," security analysts tell the WSJ. And who might be spearheading that foreign intelligence effort? Don't act too surprised, but the top suspect is China.
  11. Source. So what is The Weather Company being accused of? According to the lawsuit... For years, the company "deceptively used its Weather Channel App to amass its users' private, personal, geolocation data...all the while leading users to believe that their data will only be used to provide them with 'personalized local weather data, alerts and weather forecasts.'" "TWC has then profited from that data, using it and monetizing it for purposes entirely unrelated to weather or the Weather Channel App." FYI, people really like checking the weather. The app has 45 million monthly active users. For its part, The Weather Company (owned by IBM) said its data collection has always been kosher and will defend its disclosures "vigorously." Zoom out: File this case within the broader debate of how tech companies collect, use, and monetize the personal data you choose to share with them.
  12. The partial government shutdown is now on its *checks calendar* 15th day. With no resolution in sight, D.C. heavyweights met for a "contentious" or "productive" two hours yesterday...depending on who you ask. Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said President Trump threatened to keep the government shuttered "for a very long period of time—months or even years" until he gets funding for a U.S.-Mexico border wall. The president confirmed as much. But now, businesses are really starting to feel the pinch. Bloomberg offered up some examples... With the majority of the FAA's inspectors not working, commercial airlines can't get permission to add new planes to their fleets. And—perhaps more alarming—with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau closed, brewers can't introduce new beers. What's more, tax refunds could be delayed. The IRS (which is making do with only 12% of its workforce during the shutdown) launched tax filing season on Jan. 29 last year. And by the end of the first week, it had received 18.3 million returns and processed 6.1 million refunds averaging $2,035 apiece. So, there could be trouble this year if the shutdown continues, and the IRS has not released a contingency plan for filing season...yet. + While we're here: Hundreds of TSA officers, who are working without pay during the shutdown, reportedly called in sick from work at major airports last week in protest, per CNN.
  13. How about don't buy anything imported or transported via ships? Then the Washingtonians won't have to worry about polluting the oceans. Let's just stop all global trade while we are at it.
  14. 270 containers??? Seriously? Meanwhile in Washington state people are lecturing others on not using straws so as not to pollute. SMH.
  15. Thanks for the warning "Authorities". I was just about to go out into the middle of the North Atlantic and cruise around looking for stray containers.
  16. Over 1,000 views and no one has a clue.... it is truly a "mystery' 🙂
