Does anyone on this forum live near this area? Can you share some of the details of how this has changed daily life over there? I can't even imagine what it must be like to live in such an "outbreak". I think this really is terrifying for other countries to watch. Is there a reason why this area in Africa seems to get hit while other parts of the world are not?

Both of you above are telling the truth.

I heard on the radio that AWS will no longer be using Intel chips exclusively for its cloud services. This could end up being a BIG deal down the road.

After charming the crowd at its annual conference for cloud-lovers (any nephologists in the house?), Amazon (+6.09%) got some bullish reviews. One Jefferies analyst said its Amazon Web Services cloud business could be worth $350 billion by 2022.

Well... hard to believe so much time has passed.

This is so true.

Found the answer: "So that the hamburger hangs over the side of the bun" - Dave Thomas I also found this: Wendy's signature beef patty is famously never frozen, and square in shape. Founder Dave Thomas instilled in the company the importance of not cutting corners. That symbolism is conveyed in the patties.

I saw this asked on another site without an answer..... and I'm not exactly sure myself.

FCStone borrowed on margin against the accounts to cover money-losing positions. In the end, the clients didn’t just lose all their all their money, they also now owe FCStone for the loans, he said.

This is what wikipedia has about him: In November 2018, John Allen Chau, a 26-year-old American evangelist from Vancouver, Washington, travelled illegally to North Sentinel Island with the help of local fishermen in hopes of making contact with the Sentinelese and converting them to Christianity. According to First Post India, he had made several prior visits to the Andaman Islands. On 14 November, Chau hired a fishing boat and crew in Port Blair, South Andaman Island, to travel to North Sentinel Island. He paid the fishermen ₹25,000 (about USD384) to transport him to the island. According to police, he waited until nightfall to start his journey to avoid detection by authorities. On 15 November, Chau attempted his first visit to North Sentinel island, and the fishing boat took him around 500–700m from the shore. The fishermen warned Chau not to go further, but he continued his journey to the shore alone in a kayak, carrying a Bible. The islanders attacked him with bows and arrows as he reached the shore, but he kept walking. He returned to the boat later that day with arrow injuries. He wrote about his visit on 15 November and said the islanders were angry with his visit while he had attempted to sing worship songs to them. On 16 November, Chau made a second attempt to land with a kayak. Before leaving the boat, he gave the fisherman a long note addressed to his family, saying that he believed Jesus had given him the strength to go to the most forbidden places on Earth and that "You guys might think I’m crazy in all this but I think it’s worthwhile to declare Jesus to these people." During this attempt, the Sentinelese broke his kayak, after which he swam back to the boat. Chau had told the fishermen he did not plan to return from the island with them and instructed them to leave without him. On 17 November, Chau visited the island again and did not return. The fishermen who had transported him to the island reported that they later saw the islanders attaching a rope around his neck and dragging his body, whereupon the fishermen fled. They returned on 18 November and saw Chau's body on the shore. The fishermen reported his death to a local preacher and friend, who called his family in the United States. The family called the United States Embassy in New Delhi. Following this contact, Indian authorities arrested seven fishermen who, as of November 2018, may face a number of charges including being accessories to Chau's homicide. No charges can be brought by India against Sentinelese islanders. Indigenous tribes human rights group Survival International said it was possible that Chau had infected the tribe with pathogens to which they have no genetic immunity, "with the potential to wipe out the entire tribe".
