What the hell will happen under Deal or No-Deal Brexit..Wittes and Sloat, most articulate and well versed - is 55 minutes..

The Great Hack - documentary - Should be required viewing for all

You want to understand how Cambridge Analytica manipulated people, through ads, Facebook, this is a great documentary, as it exposes how data was mined, and then used to sway voters..not just in the US, but the Brexit campaign...and many other countries, and so much more...

You think it can't happen again..look at the UK now...and just look at all the divisive rhetoric we see here every day..

Now I am speechless...after watching HOW it was done..let's put down the Epstein story for now..watching the Great Hack will start to give you clarity..no wonder so many in power didn't want this to air...

And just because Cambridge Analytica declared bankruptcy in US and UK and pled guilty to using our data, doesn't mean another won't pick up the ball and run with it....

So glad to hear you are on the mend..yes, the stress is almost too much to bear...

I have been so lucky to have good health..I signed my husband up for Medicare Advantage last Dec..he turned 65 in January..Feb 28th he went to a PCP (in-network, a must), and got a stat referral for a urologist..biopsy came back that sunk us into despair..since then, through all the tests, MRI was denied, but CT, Bone scan (okayed by ins), his cancer did not spread to other parts of body, nor to his bones - but he does have an aggressive cancer of prostate..urologist was still able to do biopsy..Dr. said, "insurance companies dictating healthcare"..with second opinion referral, (IN-network), he had beacons implanted in prostate, and what is called a spaceor, to protect his other organs from radiation treatments, started radiation 2 weeks ago..is 9 weeks, 5 days a week..20% co-insurance..

When I look back at all the calls to BCBS, Dr's offices for appts..it was truly a maze trying to fight through it...I never took anything for granted (info), and for the most part, it wasn't misinformation from BCBS..but from front office staff at Dr's office..I feel like I earned a medical degree thru the process..oh, and the dr's office (first urologist ofc) know who I am -

I feel bad for people who do not have a business background, or an advocate to help co-ordinate all that is required.....

I am still waiting for bills to come flying in....of course I care what the cost is, but that is secondary to him getting well..

Be well - you are a trooper.....

But then you know this...

This is so full of information - I will share with DIL - all that I know

about the Philippines comes from conversations with her. She has her Masters in Math, earned in the Philippines, taught HS 11 years in Zamboanga. She arrived here almost 6 years ago - alone, with a small bag..she and my son waited 3 years for her to be able to make the journey..he did visit many times during the process she had to endure..they are both teaching in the states..last year she was so excited when the math results in her school demonstrated an improvement in test scores..

Zamboanga has a terrible history of kidnapping Americans..even their own need to be very careful - my DIL when she journeyed to her parents home in a more northern island in the Philippines, the trek taking more than 12 hours by many buses - she said she had to always be on alert, keep her head down and become a ghost as much as she could. To this day, any social media they communicate with, they use different names..my son is ret. Navy 21 years..ALL in the Pacific Fleet..he is very familiar with the need to be discreet...

I read you posts all the time..never disappointed..you seem to have an affinity for global affairs..I am not surprised by your attention to detail re this agribusiness in the Philippines..I always learn something new..

Salamat

Thanks for posting..even the companies who own the voting machines

No wonder you took up math..you have mastered sequencing - wonderful story...

My daughter-in-law, has her masters in math for which I take no credit, but do boast proudly. She is from the Philippines where teachers are revered. She came to this country 6 years ago and landed a teaching job within 11 months...took a bit of time for her to become acclimated, married..to most honorable son. (a globetrotter, retired Navy Chief), yes, boasting again, whom she met three years prior, in the Philippines. She is the most humble person I have ever met, so kind, caring, and full of grace. They just came back from their globetrotting to Hong Kong (yes, they have pictures of the protest) and her family in the Philippines. Wonderful stories of their adventure - they go back every year after their school term ends. He teaches also.

I ask her questions all the time about her experiences teaching here. She laughs, or shakes her head, but steady and persistent, in keeping 5th through 7th graders in line..is definitely different from teaching in the Philippines...where the students are very studious and respectful, if I may. Some of her stories are funny, some sad, and some downright horrible, and yet, she is going into her 4th year. She moved the needle at her school for math test scores..this is what motivates her to continue..as she shakes her head and laughs..

I just love this from YOUR story, "such as something is true "if and only if" something else was true". Can be said for so many situations.

I will share this link as well as your story with her. She is teaching me Tagalog, her native language...so, I will just say Salamat (thank you in Tagalog)
