I genuinely don't understand what type of data is kept in a library database that is so important that a hacker attacks libraries.

People's names, addresses, and phone numbers all used to be in these things called phone books back in the 1980s and earlier. It's not like it's classified material like the nuclear launch codes are.

Maybe someone wants to throw suspicion on someone by manipulating the database to show that they've been checking out books on "how to be a terrorist 101" or

I'm a board member on cross disability organizations in Canada. I'm aware of other organizations and the funding struggles we all experience every year.

Every year it seems like we do the song-and-dance where we get $_______ funding from the government and we have to spend all of it to qualify to apply for the next year's funding. This seems stupid as it leaves absolutely no reserve if the funding is not renewed or worse yet declines while the needs we're required to meet increase. The funding we are allowed to "save" is very minimal, like maybe 2% and if the government runs into trouble with their budget, they want all the organizations to drain their "savings" before being eligi

Every post I have seen in this sub-reddit and even the title of the sub-reddit itself is "The GIRL in the photo"

Do we know for a fact that it is a girl, a female child in this photo and not a boy, a male child dressed as a girl?

I'm just thinking "out loud" here but everyone has assumed this is a girl that nobody can find - it could be.

But........if I was some creepy child abductor and I wanted to kidnap a child, the FIRST thing that I would do to throw everyone off the scent would be to disguise the child and the easiest way to do that would be to change their clothes, cut/dye their hair.

Has there been any investigation into the idea that it is a boy disguised as a girl? Were any bo

Hey, this popped up in my spam e-mail. I thought it was interesting, sharing for others who might like it:

One word of warning, they want you to pay to volunteer. I mean.....????......ok, I get the food and the accommodations aren't free but it just seems so weird to me that I would have to pay to volunteer!

This popped up in my feed, it's a pod cast by a group called "acquisitions anonymous" and it features a lobster business in Nova Scotia that apparently "makes $55 million."

I don't know enough about the industry or the economic opportunities in Nova Scotia to speak to whether this is a good idea or not but I thought I would share it in case someone out there can do something with the information.

Hello!

In 2017, in Private Islands listed Cerboli Island for sale for EUR $4,000,000

http://www.privateislandsonline.com/islands/cerboli-island

I am really interested to find out what happened to this island - did it sell? For how much? What is the owner doing with the property?

Buying a private island is one of my dreams - IF I ever win a lottery - and this was an island that I was really looking at very closely in the past. I wondered about whether building a museum on the island, an eco tourism resort, etc would work so I would really like to find out what happened since 2017!

I recently watched an esipode of "The Island Dairies" and Newfoundland & Labrador was featured!

It was really cool to learn more about your province. I have to say that the only name that stands out to me is "Courtney Snow" - I think it was a high school student that was going to go to St. John's to finish high school as there weren't enough students/teachers in her town to keep the school open. I was laughing a bit at the idea that someone named "Snow" lives in Newfoundland which is more known for storms than snow - at least, that's my understanding.

I've also seen CBC's "Still Standing" feature Botwood, Woody's Point, Fortune, and I think Habour Grace

I would love to visit one day whe

(Sorry, I don't think the flair fits very well but it seemed the most appropriate - buying a private island after winning a lottery does seem "adult" to me!)

Hello, everyone. Canadian here.

We have a few large lotteries in Canada right now, tons of commercials playing and every time this happens, I find myself checking out www.privateislandsonline.com for private islands I might buy if I ever win that kind of money.

I started daydreaming before covid-19 kicked the world off kilter and I've continued to daydream when a commercial comes on. So......one of the islands that has been listed for like 5, 10 years (time blends together) is Shore Island.

What is the impact on the American economy when the demand for American dollars in other countries is so high? Does it help Americans achieve a better standard of living, weaken their economy or....?????

I mean....countries such as Zimbabwe (see link below) which have no control over the American dollar or fiscal policy are using the American dollar as a currency in their country. I remember reading in the past that Russians preferred dollars to rubles but I don't have a source for that.

It's one thing for a foreigner to use THEIR currency to buy stock in an American company like Ford or Citibank or whatever, but it's quite another thing for foreigners to take pallet loads of American do

Apparently I signed up for this newsletter during the covid-19 era and they just now sent a newsletter. It's United Kingdom based but I noticed they offer USD prices for their tours.

One word of warning - transport included ONLY means local (bus, train) and NOT flights. I thought it seemed too cheap to be true.....

I have no clue if the company is legitimate so you need to vet them thoroughly and make sure they're a legit company and have good reputation(s) in the regions they operate in.

I see a lot of "where do I go" posts here and the answers range from group homes, in home support worker, and assisted living facilities.

BUT....I also see concerns about the conditions of the facilities, the costs, how the homes are run, the quality of the staff, and so on.

So....I wanted to suggest something people should check into.

In Manitoba, Canada during the 1970s, there was a wave of deinstitutionalization taking place and people with mental and developmental disabilities were being returned to the community. Some parents were NOT happy with the options their adult children had for living independently and they banded together to purchase a house and then hire residential suppor
