Interested in such a weird and disturbing subject. Ive always been interested in the way of the world and the general idea that people are on the fringe of society. They are often the most interesting and least understood nobody imagined what it would become as far as a think tank ive always been a political extremism and religious movements and try to understand what drives them. There were a growing number of stories about lasting happenings around the internet. Whether it was illegal pornography or more recently faith. We only had something of a glimpse of those communities. I want to understand the extremities to watch people will go when they believe themselves to be operating under their own ideas. I wanted to really understand how people behave online. I also wanted to meet the people of these subcultures. I wanted to know who they were in real life. What did they do during the day . Where did they go for coffee . Were they nice people in the flash and radically different when y
Half of america. Social security numbers, birth dates, home addresses, phone numbers, even credit card numbers all in the hands of criminals. Ive heard from working families in massachusetts and all across the country since then. The equifax is a nightmare. At best it is a giant hassle. Time on hold with credit reporting agencies, fees for this service and that service, confusion about whats been stolen and what to do about it. At worst, it could be ruinous, a lifetime of responsible spending and borrowing wiped out by Identity Theft and fraud. People are outraged and rightly so. Bad enough that equifax was so sloppy that they let hackers into their system, but the companys response has been even worse. First, equifax hid the information about the breach for 40 days 40 days. Equifax gave criminals a 40day head start to use the information they had stolen while the rest of us were left in the dark. And then, when equifax fine lily decided to disclose the breach, they didnt call or send

The reason was that at that time and in that moment the strongest storm ever recorded out of the flick was bearing down first out of the atlantic was bearing down first on the caribbean not just towards florida but the city in which i lived and the nation watched over the next few days as that storm took its track. There has been a lot said about Hurricane Irma since that time. I heard some say that it could have been worse, and i imagine some particular instances perhaps that is true. Had that storm entered through tampa bay in florida, it would have been an incal cliewbl lost through the counties of miamidade, broward and palm beach counties, the Economic Loss would have been very significant. So its possible that the storm could have had an even greater impact. But its difficult to say that to the people that were impacted by it. It was a unique storm in a lot of different ways. The sheer scope of it. One of the things that really kind of p
Island. As you mentioned, neil, this is the worst one they have ever seen here. The future path it will take it a little bit to the east of turks and Caicos Islands that said, those islands in the bahamian chain got absolutely devastated by irma. I dont think its a direct hit there. After that this is about a strange of a dance as you ever see in the western atlantic ocean. See it all the time in the pacific. It is called the fuji effect, jamessed after a japanese meteorologist in the early 20s, that typhoons would dance around each other when they got close to each other. We have the dying jose off the eastern seaboard of the United States. That tries to pull maria northward up offshore well to the east of florida. However, when jose dies completely, a ridge of High Pressure may build back across the top. It is not out of the realm of possibility this comes back towards the United States, specifically towards the carolinas in six or seven days. That is the worry right now. But we can
