"A prominent outside group supporting House Democrats is out with a new ad attacking top House Republican leaders as a scandal-plagued trio following in the mold of disreputable party predecessors.

The new ad, called "Answer," opens with old news footage of former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich while a menacing male voice says, "They've shut down the government," before reminding viewers of unsavory moments for each of the three Republicans vying for the top House leadership spots.

First comes Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, who has been accused of ..."

Denouement - this week the edginess and nightmares are building up, as if to an imminent denouement

Dénouement (pronounced day-noo-mahn) is French for "unknotting", and denotes the point in the story when mysteries are unraveled, ...

The final part of a play, film, or narrative in which the strands of the plot are drawn together and matters are explained or resolved.



..this week the edginess and nightmares are building up, as if to an imminent denouement.

----

I can't be the only one who feels we're at that point in time. Trump's destruction cannot go on much longer & the outcome is imminent, whether we're prepared or not.

My faith is in Robert Mueller, NY AG & the powers of good in the world.

Word of the day: Dénouement

Thank you

Instagram hack: Hundreds of accounts taken over in mysterious Russian attack

Instagram hack: Hundreds of accounts taken over in mysterious Russian attack

5h ago

The Independent

A widespread hacking campaign that appears to stem from Russia is affecting hundreds of Instagram users, leaving people locked out of their accounts.

The hack sees Instagram account names, profile pictures, passwords and email addresses associated with accounts changed by the attackers, with the new email addresses originating from a Russian email provider.

Many of the affected accounts have had their profile pictures replaced with stills from popular films, including Pirates of the Caribbean and Despicable Me 3.

A spokesperson for Instagram was not immediately available for comment but the company tweeted an acknowledgement of the issue on Wednesday, 15 August.

"We are aware that some people are having difficulty accessing their Instagram accounts," the company tweeted. "If you think you have been impacted, please follow our guidance to regain access."

The Facebook-owned firm's official guidance for regaining access to a hacked account claim that Instagram users will be notified of any change of email address to their account via an email to the original address.

"Please click the link marked 'revert this change' in the email, and then change your password," the guidelines state. "We advise you pick a strong password. Use a combination of at least six numbers, letters and punctuation marks... It should be different from other passwords used elsewhere on the internet."

@instagram My account has been hacked! Username, email and password has been changed. Now someone called Laitus Maria has all my pics

One Instagram user took to Twitter to complain about the security process, which they claimed was unable to restore their account.

"I'm concerned because my account has been taken over by the hacker – but I did not receive any email from Instagram whatsoever when my email was changed," one Twitter user wrote to Instagram.

British renewable energy investor Quercus halts 500 million euro Iran solar plant, as sanctions bite

Exclusive - Quercus pulls plug on 500 million euro Iran solar plant as sanctions bite


Reuters

By Lefteris Karagiannopoulos

OSLO (Reuters) - British renewable energy investor Quercus said it will halt the construction of a 500 million euro (445.9 million pounds) solar power plant in Iran due to recently imposed U.S. sanctions on Tehran.

The solar plant in Iran would have been the first renewable energy investment outside Europe by Quercus and the world's sixth largest, with a 600 megawatt (MW) capacity.

Iran has been trying to increase the share of renewable-produced electricity in its energy mix, partly due to air pollution and to meet international commitments, hoping to have about 5 gigawatt in renewables installed by 2022.

In June, before the U.S.-imposed sanctions, more than 250 companies had signed agreements to add and sell power from about 4 gigawatt of new renewables in the country, which has only 602 MW installed, Iranian energy ministry data showed.

Washington reimposed sanctions last week after pulling out of a 2015 international deal aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear programme in return for an easing of economic sanctions.

U.S. president Donald Trump has also threatened to penalise companies that continue to operate in Iran, which led banks and many companies around the world to scale back their dealings with Tehran.

"Following the U.S. sanctions on Iran, we have decided to cease all activities in the country, including our 600 MW project. We will continue to monitor the situation closely," Quercus chief executive Diego Biasi said in an email on Tuesday.

SNIP
Independently-owned Quercus has a portfolio of around 28 renewable energy plants and 235 MW of installed capacity.

The firm, founded by Biasi and Simone Borla in 2010, controls five investment funds and has a network of "highly regarded external partners," it says on its website.

The 600 MW plant it aimed to construct in Iran would be the firm's largest investment. Quercus declined to comment on the details of its decision to cease the plan and on any financial losses that could result from it.

Fearing the consequences of the U.S. embargo, a string of European companies have recently announced they would scale back their business in Iran.
