Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory. I tried but I couldn't last when they called me a "heel". The job wasn't a good fit.
Previous Guy Scammed the Court.
He found an insurance company to provide him with a $175 million bond. However, NY law requires the company issuing the bond have at least $1.27 billion in liquid assets. They have $138 million. In other words, the bond does not comply with NY law, so is invalid.
The company's defense? They are not licensed as an insurance compnay in NY so the law doesn't apply. So he has a bond from an insurance company without sufficient assest to cover the bond and that isn't licensed in New York.
Meanwhile Previous Guy gets weeks more before he has to come up with the money. If I were the judge, I would be pissed. I am pissed!
This video explains it all in detail.

Eliminating Hamas is not PossibleIt has been nearly six months since Hamas fighters broke through from Gaza into Israel on 7 October, killing about 1,200 people and taking hundreds hostage. In response, Israel vowed to "crush and destroy Hamas" so that it no longer posed any threat, and to bring all the hostages home. In the brutal war that has followed, at least 33,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, and large parts of Gaza have been destroyed. Israel says it has killed thousands of Hamas fighters and destroyed much of the vast network of tunnels beneath Gaza, which Hamas has used to carry out attacks. BBC Verify has combed through public statements and social media posts by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and assessed the evidence behind Israel's stated aims. Six months on, how close is Israel to eliminating Hamas?

I am Woman Hear Me Roar! (Actually I am not Woman. I Am Not a Woman, but You Get the Idea.)
The scene was described as "controlled chaos".
Dozens of people queued down the block and around the corner to get into the Sports Bra in Portland, Oregon, the first bar in the world - according to owner Jenny Nguyen - to only show women's sports.
The fact that it was the middle of a Monday did not curb the crowd's enthusiasm, nor did it slow them from consuming "three times" as many drinks as they normally would.
They were there to witness an epic women's college basketball tournament game between the Iowa Hawkeyes and LSU Tigers, headlined by superstars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
From the Sports Bra crowd to celebrities Lebron James and Travis Scott, more than 12 million viewers tuned in.
"It was electric," Ms Nguyen said, recalling the atmosphere as the University of Iowa beat Louisiana State University, a victory led by Clark who scored a whopping 41 points.
"I've been watching women's basketball for decades. It feels like everyone else is just catching up... it's about damn time," she added.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has been hosting the basketball tournament known as March Madness since 1939.
In just three weeks, 68 of the best college teams are winnowed down to one champion.
The annual event is a media frenzy where millions of fans watch games around the clock for days on end.
For decades, that only applied to the men's tournament. Not anymore.
Ticket prices for the women's championship this year cost twice as much as the men's on average, reaching as high as $11,000 (£8,736).
And the NCAA is Still Clueless
The Games Were in the Facilty the Cleveland Cavaliers Use, and You're Telling Me they Don't Have Proper Interview Rooms?

There's First Aid, Farm Aid, and Now Dead AidUnlike the killing of the WCK staff members, who were citizens of the U.S., Canada, Australia, Poland, and the U.K., other fatal incidents that have involved mostly Palestinian aid workers have raised little outrage or notice from the Israeli or international governments. In a review of documents, public statements, and interviews, NBC News found a pattern of attacks on aid workers and humanitarian infrastructure in the months leading up to Monday’s attack. Those include two previous incidents involving WCK, the dropping of a 1000-pound bomb near a building housing aid workers from the International Rescue Committee (IRC), and the bombing of the home of an aid worker for Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). The IDF is supposed to protect aid workers. Aid agencies say the Israeli military has been attacking them for months.

Searching for Spies? Try Google.
Linwei Ding was a Google software engineer. He was also a prolific thief of trade secrets, say prosecutors.Though he lived in Silicon Valley, Linwei Ding spent months at a time in his native China, according to court papers. Nothing unusual about that — except that he was supposed to be working full time as a software engineer in Google’s San Francisco-area offices. Court records say he had others badge him into Google buildings, making it appear as if he were coming to work. In fact, prosecutors say, he was marketing himself to Chinese companies as an expert in artificial intelligence — while stealing 500 files containing some of Google’s most important AI secrets. Ding, whose home was searched by the FBI days before prosecutors say he was to board a one-way flight to China, was arrested in March and is now facing federal felony charges. He has pleaded not guilty. His case illustrates what American officials say is an ongoing nightmare for U.S. economic and national security: Some of America’s most prominent tech firms have had their virtual pockets picked by Chinese corporate spies and intelligence agencies. Days after the Ding case was announced, prosecutors charged the owners of a Chinese company with conspiring to steal battery secrets from Tesla. This week, a government cybersecurity board ripped Microsoft for an “inadequate security culture” and a “cascade … of avoidable errors” that allowed Chinese intelligence hackers to compromise the company’s email software and gain access to the accounts of the U.S. commerce secretary.

Democrats Want to Help Previous Guy Promote His Brand
House Democrats filed a bill Friday that would put Donald J. Trump’s name on a building. Congratulations!
Introduced by Gerry Connolly of Virginia, Jared Moskowitz of Florida, and John Garamendi of California, the legislation would “designate the Miami Federal Correctional Institution in Florida as the Donald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution.”
The Democrats’ bill is a direct response to the ludicrous bill filed this week by House Republicans who want to rename Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia after the twice-impeached, multi-indicted, one-term president.
“Donald Trump is facing 91 felony charges,” Connolly, whose district includes part of the airport, said in a statement Tuesday. “If Republicans want to name something after him, I’d suggest they find a federal prison.“
On Friday, Connolly elaborated on his legislative proposal in a statement:
"I see no reason to wait. Donald Trump faces nearly 100 felony charges. He has been found liable of sexual abuse and, subsequently, for defaming the victim of that abuse. He has been fined hundreds of millions of dollars in a civil fraud case. It is only right that the closest federal prison to Mar-a-Lago should bear his name. I hope our Republican friends will join us in bestowing upon Donald J. Trump the only honor he truly deserves."
Moskowitz, whose South Florida district is just an hour’s drive from the prison, offered his own generous take.
“Everyone knows President Trump loves to write his name in gold letters on all his buildings,” Moskowitz said in a statement. “But he’s never had his name on a federal building before and as a public servant I just want to help the former president. Help us make that dream a reality.
Obviously, naming a Virginia airport after Trump, who counts an airline among his many failed businesses, is just plain silly.
