Ms-Leading
Two former employees of the U.S. House of Representatives have been indicted for allegedly circulating private, nude photos and videos of a Congress member and the member’s spouse, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced Thursday.
A grand jury indicted Juan R. McCullum on cyberstalking and Dorene Browne-Louis on obstruction of justice.
According to the indictment, McCullum offered to help repair the Congress member's iPhone in March 2016 by taking the device to a local Apple store. The iPhone had private, nude photos and videos on it.
McCullum created a Facebook account with a fake name, Susan Ricenville. He friended many Facebook users, including those of politicians competing with the member of Congress, prosecutors say. In July 2016, Plaskett said in a statement someone had copied personal photos and a private family video of her and her husband, according to a Politico report.
McCullum sent text messages and emails to Dorene about distributing the images. She allegedly deleted texts from McCullum from her phone in addition to making false, incomplete and misleading statements to law enforcement and a federal grand jury about what she know, the indictment said.
What was that all about?

The Move...
Traditionally buttoned-up Wall Street bank Goldman Sachs has relaxed the dress code for its computer engineers in a bid to attract tech talent with a more casual environment.
The fifth-largest U.S. bank by assets told employees in its technology division to "exercise judgment in determining when to adapt to business attire," according to an internal memo from late June seen by Reuters on Thursday.
The move comes as the bank makes a push to recruit and keep hold of top tech talent in the face of intensifying competition.
Goldman and other Wall Street banks compete for the best employees with Silicon Valley firms and hedge funds. So relax, this is a good time.
So gotten...
Not really. In Nixon time, his people spied on the Democratic headquarter, then he tried actively and repeatedly to cover it up. The first part was scary, and so is the second piece. It is a chain of deliberate acts of deception.

Going Monk...
MGTOW is a worldwide social phenomenon and online community of heterosexual men who have chosen a lifestyle that avoids legal and romantic entanglements with women at all costs.
A Man Going His Own Way values self-ownership above all else, believing that he has the right to decide what his goals in life should be. He refuses to surrender his will, efforts and money to the social expectations of women.
Members of the community believe that legal and romantic entanglements with women fail a cost–benefit analysis and risk–benefit analysis. " they see no further incentive to relate [to dating].
Some express discontent because they see women as hypergamous and manipulative.[12] Business Insider reporter Dylan Love wrote a "fully-realized MGTOW as someone who shuns all relationships with women, short-term, long-term, romantic, and otherwise. Some MGTOW have many short-term relationships or engage in sex with prostitutes.[9] Celibacy, however, is also an option. A MGTOW that chooses celibacy over relationships is said to be "going monk".
Plug-Ins...
Anyone who watches even a little television knows that automakers take advertising seriously and do a lot of it. The seemingly-never-ending stream of commercials keeps their brands in the public eye, and helps them sell cars to the subset of viewers in the market.
But if you think that electric cars are generally not represented in that stream of ads, you're correct.
The auto industry simply doesn't put much effort into advertising electric cars, according to a new analysis of ads from the Sierra Club.
Visiting many dealerships in the 10 states that have adopted California's stricter emissions standards, volunteers noted issues such as lack of inventory and sales staff that appeared unfamiliar with electric cars.
May be few women can sell a lot of Plug-In cars. Time to try.
Outsell...
Electric cars will outsell fossil-fuel powered vehicles within two decades as battery prices plunge, turning the global auto industry upside down and signaling economic turmoil for oil-exporting countries. This will happen gradually and started already, with many auto companies coming out with Electric or hybrid model cars.
The Bloomberg New Energy Finance forecast says adoption of emission-free vehicles will happen more quickly than previously estimated because the cost of building cars is falling so fast. The seismic shift will see cars with a plug account for a third of the global auto fleet by 2040 and displace about 8 million barrels a day of oil production more than the 7 million barrels Saudi Arabia exports today.
“This is economics, pure and simple economics,” BNEF’s lead advanced-transportation analyst Colin McKerracher said “Lithium-ion battery prices are going to come down sooner and faster than most other people expect.”
What would the Middle East look like then? Just a thought.
