I just called the Director of BOP. He agreed situation is unacceptable and that contractor had left MDC. Given how badly MDC is handling, he agreed to get BOP Regional Director involved. We stressed need to get detainees with medical needs moved.
He also found it unacceptable I wasn't allowed to speak with inmates during last night's visit.

Continuing to monitor and push for answers & immediate action.
I want to thank my colleague @RepJerryNadler and all the NYers today who joined together to stand for justice and against this inhumane treatment. We will continue pushing for answers and more importantly, swift action.
I appreciate all the elected officials, BK Defenders and concerned NYers who joined together today for not allowing this outrageous behavior to stand. We will keep fighting until this is resolved.
We were able today to enter cells to feel air and water temperatures and speak with detainees. One guard reported needing to wear fleece over a down vest to stay warm in overnight hours.

Will continue to push for action.

Far Left Hate Watch ❌Labour is a racist endeavour

What the referendum has shown me – thread, please add your own tweets to it: 1/11
The referendum has shown me that none of the three major UK parties and very few of our politicians, especially on the #Left either care about or even understand what the real definition of democracy actually is & why we voted to leave the #Left also hates the working class. 2/11
The referendum has shown me Parliament has for too long been allowed to ignore the wishes of the British people and more importantly without any real consequences to them, from expenses to lying under oath there has been one rule for us and a different one for them. 3/11

Thread sobre rotinas de limpeza e organização da casa para pessoas preguiçosas que não querem ser escravos da arrumação mas querem uma casa mais organizada em 2019

Cc @liviafer_
Antes de começar as dicas práticas, é necessário fazer algumas observações
1. Esse método é meu, no sentido de que é o q funciona PRA MIM. Testei métodos conhecidos e fui adaptando de uma forma q funcionasse na minha realidade
2. Eu sigo o @vidaorganizada desde 2011 e tudo que aprendi veio de lá
3. Não fui criada pra ser dona de casa asseada, obcecada por limpeza pra não fazer vergonha pras visitas. Podem me chamar de porca, mas não é uma prioridade na minha vida passar luva branca pelos móveis

A SOC that deals in Alerts is doomed. If it deals in 'high fidelity detection analytics' + can show ...
1) what's possible to detect that your tech teams + business MDs care about
2) by implication what gaps exist with existing tech (coverage / config)
... then in with a chance.
In practice what that means is defining 5 things that are highly interesting from a blue/red perspective, and where you would tolerate high false positives because if you see 'an activity' it's worth some precious analyst time to investigate ... for 2 reasons ...
1) To rule out that badness is happening
2) To understand if the analytic can be better tuned to remove the trigger to 'go look at this'

1. This is a Plutonium Pit. It is the heart of most nuclear weapons. It is not a Gamma emitter so you can hold it in your hands. Warm to the touch. On the right is what it looks like inside its shell of high explosives used to trigger it. My metaphor for #N@zi hate. Plutonium pit
2. My estimate when Trump started was 15% of Americans were pure unadulterated bigots. N@zis. KKK, all of a kind. They are the Plutonium Pit of American politics. @realDonaldTrump is the shell of explosives that surrounds it. The trigger is held by his master @KremlinRussia_E.
3. But the single Pit is not enough to destroy America. It needs a surrounding secondary fuel that in H-Bombs is often a kind of water. Not H20. But special isotopes of Hydrogen ready to fuse when the Trigger gets them compressed in a hot rage of hate. That's the #GOP.

Salary question is being ditched
Your next interview may be one question shorter as cities, states and territories around the U.S. stop asking, “How much did you make in your last job?” The question is being banned in an
effort to eliminate gender wage disparities, reports Business Insider. California, Oregon, Delaware, Massachusetts, New York City, Philadelphia and Puerto Rico outlawed employers from inquiring about a candidate’s salary history, Business Insider said. New Orleans and Pittsburgh
put in place similar bans for hiring city workers. An embargo in Maryland is in the works, but not in Illinois, where Governor Bruce Rauner vetoed the proposal. Michigan and Wisconsin have also prohibited salary history question bans, Bloomberg said. •

Tutorial on how to make a map using QGIS. I'll turn @SenhorRaposa's 2000 Vermont town data into a map showing by how much Gore outran Senator Jeffords (or vice versa) in every town.
Step 1: Download QGIS for your computer, which is available here:
qgis.org/en/site/foruse…
You'll also need some of Census' Tiger/Line County and County Sub shapefiles. The main download page for those is here:
census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/sh…

A direct link to the 2017 VT county sub shapefile is here: ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2017/COUSUB/tl_2017_50_cousub.zip
I can't find a 2017 County file by state, so we'll use the 2009 verison here:
ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2009/50_VERMONT/tl_2009_50_county.zip
(We could always edit the 17 national county file in QGIS & create a 2017 VT-only county shapefile, but let's keep it simple.)
