  1. I was just listening to MSNBC about the developments on this case. It appears that Donald Trump admitted to firing FBI director Comey over this investigation. (I need to find that audio again) Evidently the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network has offered to hand over it's data to some Congressional panel. - Will the head of the US Treasury now be dismissed? Donald Trump's Financial Ties to Russian Oligarchs and Mobsters is also in question now with the Senate looking into his businesses. They also said that the firing of the 43 US Attorneys was also related. Are we witnessing an earthquake at the highest levels of the United States Government or what? Your thoughts? (Secular talk only please.)
  2. RANSOMWARE TOOL USED IN MASSIVE ATTACK "ALLEGEDLY STOLEN FROM NSA"!!!
  3. Anti-Trump protesters rallied outside Trump Tower in New York City on Wednesday following the news that the US President had fired FBI director James Comey. Protesters decried the move as a slide closer to 'fascism'.

    The Newsroom

    Here is a link to the show as well: http://cinevip.tv/series/the-newsroom/the-newsroom-5-1
  5. I was just inside Costco (reluctantly) and noticed how quieter the place was..... I wonder if it is due to the "Amazon effect"? Apple has really lost out in the innovation game for the last few years. Siri is not improving and Alexa is wowing people. Google Home will have to prove itself. Microsoft Cortana is a non-starter. This is a winner take all economy.
  6. New United Airlines Motto’s:-------------------------"Drag and Drop""We put the hospital in hospitality""Board as a doctor, leave as a patient""Our prices can’t be beaten, but our passengers can""We have First Class, Business Class and No Class""Not enough seating, prepare for a beating""We treat you like we treat your luggage""We beat the customer. Not the competition""And you thought leg room was an issue""Where voluntary is mandatory""Fight or flight. We decide""Now offering one free carry off""Beating random customers since 2017""If our staff needs a seat, we’ll drag you out by your feet""A bloody good airline"
  7. A review of global poverty in The Economist makes the claim: Reference: http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2017/05/economist-explains-1?cid1=cust%2Fddnew%2Fn%2Fn%2Fn%2F2017053n%2Fowned%2Fn%2Fn%2Fnwl%2Fn%2Fn%2Fap%2FDaily_Dispatch%2Femail However, The Economist predicts that it will be more difficult to make further reductions in the number of people living in extreme poverty. Poverty reduction in India: We could think that India would be able to quickly make quick progress in poverty reduction. But a closer examination makes this doubtful, the illustration below shows a scene that is all too common in India. As this attempt at mapping Indian poverty seems to indicate: and its in some of the areas mapped as suffering from extreme poverty that the long-running naxalite rebellion continues. Why is it that India has this persistent problem? The answer seems to be rooted in the political and social problems which the Indian ruling elite have not been interested in solving.
  8. Lesson #1. Facebook is fake news.
  9. Because when our site was supposedly experiencing a DDoS attack during a very heavily trafficked day our hosting company decided to block ALL AT&T phones. My phone still shows “forbidden” as well. Invision Power Services seems to think it is not them though but rather another service that is preventing ALL AT&T phones from accessing their website. I wonder if this has blocked ALL AT&T phones from EVERY IPS 4.x website out there? Are there any other admins experiencing the same problem?

    The Newsroom

    I've just started watching The Newsroom on Amazon video and I must say it is riveting to see Jeff Daniels play this role. The first episode has already got me hooked. The op-ed and dialogue are an amazing message sent over a carrier wave of a busy news network full of drama and interweaving lives. The character development seems enthralling and almost believable. Definitely high on my recommendations list going forward.
  11. Boeing and Airbus have both recently achieved first flights for new airliners. These flights are key landmarks on the way to certification, and demonstrate to customers that the programs are on track. Now the aircraft will face months of flight testing as they prepare to enter airliner service.
  12. The UN should create a set of international rules to help stop the pandemic of fake news and Cold war-style disinformation, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said during a session of the UN Committee on Information in New York.
  13. The new carrier is slightly larger than the Liaoning, China’s first aircraft carrier, constructed by the Soviet Union as a Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier.
  14. The TI Class of supertankers are currently the four largest ships in the world (by displacement, deadweight tonnage ≈ cargo mass, and gross tonnage, a formula value based on internal volume, not mass). The class comprises the ships TI Africa, TI Asia, TI Europe and TI Oceania, where the "TI" refers to the VLCC Tanker Pool operator Tankers International L.L.C. The class were the first ULCCs (ultra-large crude carriers) to be built in 25 years.[2] Compared to the TI Class, the Maersk Triple E class container ships are longer and have a higher cargo volume, including above deck containers. The previous largest ship, the supertanker Seawise Giant, was scrapped in 2010.
  15. I wonder how this will play out in the long term?
  16. Off topic alert. Please start new threads or this topic will be locked. Thank you. I have repeatedly begged Invision Power Services to embrace threaded replies but they are still stuck in 1999. Sorry.

  18. How appropriate for a "World Forum" .... The International Space Station - ISS - circles the earth at 240 miles above the planet, on the edge of space in low earth orbit.The station is crewed by NASA astronauts as well as Russian Cosmonauts and a mixture of Japanese, Canadian and European astronauts as well.As seen from the Nasa space video ISS live stream on the International Space Station - A real astronaut view of Earth!Live ISS stream of planet earth from space courtesy of nasa HDEV High Definition Earth Viewing Cameras aboard the international space station.
