Request For Catastrophic Leave Donations: Fill & Download for Free

You poor, poor man.Brace yourself. I’m giving you real examples from hell. I have many friends who made this catastrophic mistake. It almost always starts with being introduced to her in church. Then she insta-moves in and keeps your place so tidy. She’s so eager in bed. The churchies guilt you into a swift marriage. Hoooo-boy. A maid would be been cheaper. Seriously.Get a vasectomy. NOW. If you can afford it, freeze your sperm first. If you are marketable, you can even sperm donate, with the request that the bank keeps some on reserve for you. DO NOT GET THIS WOMAN PREGNANT. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SUPPORTING EIGHT CHILDREN FOR 20 YEARS.See a lawyer RIGHT NOW. S/he will help you organize yourself for the least losses down the road. It will be the best $1000.00 you have ever spent, DO IT NOW.Keep your bank accounts separate. Have your mother be your backup. DO NOT PUT THIS WOMAN ON YOUR ACCOUNTS. DO NOT PUT THIS WOMAN’S NAME ON YOUR HOUSE TITLE.Put flags on your credit agencies, BLOCKING ALL NEW REQUESTS FOR LOANS AND CREDIT CARDS.Never keep anything of value of yours accessible in or even near the house. Her ex will take it and pawn it. Yeah, that very ex that she bad mouths. He’ll be back to see the kids, and they will be in cahoots the very moment you slow down the fire hose of cash. They will break into your Shed out back and steal your tools and your hand gun. Since she was married to you, the cops will not take the gun back from her, even when you prove you bought it before she moved in.The examples above are separate from the example below.A coworker of mine was completely taken to the cleaners by the ex wife of one of his Tegal vendor reps. They got engaged and she moved the brood into his home. He’d come home to find a bunch of brand new furniture. She assured him they had been in her storage shed from her divorce.What she really did was forge his signature to SIX CREDIT CARDS. She racked them up to the max. Most of the cards wrote it off when he cancelled them for being fraudulent, but one card refused and went after him for the debt. Thankfully another of the card companies was on his side when he sicked the cops on her. Despite all of this, he was suddenly kicked out of his own home (she had sweet innocent c h i l d r e n !!! ). He ended up quitting his excellent engineering job and moved into his brother’s beach home, and went back to school to get a master’s to teach science to children.He could have dated me instead. He said I was in the same dept so he dated her. I told him one of my grad school classmates was offering me a job on the other side of our facility. Too late, he was leaving our company due to being homeless from this bitch.I wish you the best of luck. I fear you are being used. She only cares about those 7 kids. You are a gravy train. Expect an 8th child to trap you.

No. Wikipedia is not in trouble. In all likelihood, Wikipedia will continue to exist for many years and even decades to come. The articles are all written entirely by volunteers like myself, which means that we are not paid. We do it out of selfless desire to help people and make reliable and accurate information freely available to everyone. That eliminates the vast majority of the cost of the encyclopedia right there, since most of the money put into the process of writing a traditional encyclopedia would go into paying the authors of the articles and the editors who oversee the process.That means that the main cost that has to be paid to keep the website up and running is just the cost of maintaining the site itself. For a site as vast and sprawling as Wikipedia, that can actually be rather expensive, because it means having servers powerful enough to host the entire website. Nonetheless, despite the desperate-sounding requests, the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that runs Wikipedia and maintains the website, currently has more than enough money to keep the website running for the foreseeable future, as long as there are no major unforeseen disasters affecting the Foundation.The Wikimedia Foundation’s model of asking for money when they do not really need it and then saving that money up in reserve in case of an emergency is actually near universal among large non-profit organizations. You would be hard-pressed to find a single nation-wide charitable organization that does not do this. The reason they do it is because, if there were a terrible and unpredictable catastrophe—like if the Wikimedia Foundation headquarters were to be completely demolished by an earthquake—then there might indeed be a serious threat to Wikipedia's continued existence and the Foundation would need lots of money in reserve to quickly rebuild. If the Wikimedia Foundation waited until disaster struck to ask for money, they might never be able to accumulate enough in time, so they ask for money in advance and then save it so they will have it just in case they need it.Another instance in which the Foundation would need lots of money saved up would be if a major corporate donor suddenly stopped giving millions of dollars worth of money to the Foundation, in which case, the Foundation would be forced to fall back on the money they had already saved up. If that happened and the Foundation did not have enough money already saved up to run the website, the site could really go black. That is why they have to ask for money when they are doing well, so that, just in case something changes, they will still be able to survive.Once again, other nonprofits do this too; the only difference is that, when Wikipedia does it, it gets a lot more attention because Wikipedia is the seventh most popular website on the internet and billions of people use it every day. The Wikimedia Foundation is far from the only nonprofit to use apocalyptic imagery to persuade people to donate; if you have ever watched PBS or listened to NPR, you already know that they do almost exactly the same thing. The reason is because most people do not understand the necessity of saving up money in advance in case of disaster and, if the Foundation was completely transparent and stated in their banner ads that the Foundation is doing fine right now, no one would donate.The reason why Wikipedia does not run ads is because they know the editors would never allow the Wikimedia Foundation to get away with it. Originally, Wikipedia was actually a for-profit venture with a “.com” domain. In 2002, however, there was talk of Wikipedia running ads, something large numbers of editors were strongly opposed to because they did not want a private company profiting off their unpaid labor. Consequently, a large number of editors on the Spanish Wikipedia deserted the project and started up their own Wikipedia called Enciclopedia Libre. It was a huge event known as the “Spanish Revolt.”It was so huge, in fact, that it prompted Jimmy Wales to announce that Wikipedia would never run ads and to change the domain from “wikipedia.com” to “wikipedia.org.” Ever since then, the Wikimedia Foundation has been more-or-less tirelessly dedicated to appeasing the unpaid volunteers who actually write the encyclopedia. That is the real reason why Wikipedia does not run ads and never will; it is less on account of ideology and more on account of pragmatism, because the Foundation knows that, if the editors start leaving, then Wikipedia will collapse into a heap of vandalism for certain.So should you donate to support Wikipedia? If you are feeling charitable, go ahead. If not, the website will probably be able to survive without your donation just fine.

On February 5 2019, the first day of the Chinese New Year, Australian media revealed that immigration authorities had rejected Chinese billionaire Huang Xiangmo's citizenship application following several media reports during the past two years that claimed Huang was engaged in espionage activities and unlawful political lobbying. Australia is within its right in not disclosing the reason behind this action but Chinese media became loud in criticising the action saying Huang has fallen victim to a renewed wave of anti-China hysteria, aimed at increasing fear mongering and hatred toward China and Chinese business throughout the Australia. Earlier, Australian Department of Defence banned employees from using the Chinese app WeChat citing security issues and the app could be used to sabotage an election. Australia also banned Huawaei for 5G testing. In 2010, the then head of Australian mining company Rio Tinto’s iron ore business was jailed for 10 years on charges of corruption and stealing commercial secrets. Stern Hu, an Australian citizen of Chinese origin, was released earlier in 2018 after serving eight years. His incarceration came as Rio Tinto and China were engaged in a heated negotiation over the iron ore benchmark price.Detention of Wang Weijing, Huawei’s sales director in Poland, showed the US-China rivalry over technology pre-eminence has spilled over into Europe. Although Huawei sacked the arrested sales director, its position became worse after detention of its CFO Sabrina Meng Wanzhou (also daughter of founder of Huawei who had PLA links) in Candada’s Vancover on 1 December 2018. The founder Ren Zhengfei of Huawei Technologies says the tech giant would reject requests from the Chinese government to disclose confidential information about its customers but the reality is all Chinese companies, as per law must comply with Chinese government requests. Chinese smartphones are claimed to have been fitted with chips that collect personal data and buses in the US are alleged to have listening devices in seats.Hiding one's military background is believed to facilitate the overseas visa process. International suspicion about Chinese activities abroad has been growing this year, pushing Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. — a group known as the Five Eyes alliance — to increase cooperation against potential Chinese interference in their respective markets. Recently a German media report quoted an anonymous official saying that there are 250 Chinese spies in Brussels. Some sensitive persons were even warned to avoid going to specific restaurants and cafes. The intelligence service of Lithuania, a country with a population of less than 3 million, released an annual report saying Chinese espionage has become a threat to the country's national security. Lithuania's report makes us Chinese feel the country is playing up to Washington and following the West's steps in preventing "China's penetration." The Lithuania report was issued after a similar one by Norway.Many Chinese military scientists working on strategic research at Western universities have deliberately concealed their ties to the army, according to new research.In a report, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) said it discovered two dozen new cases of scientists from the People's Liberation Army (PLA) — the umbrella term for China's ground, naval and air forces — traveling abroad "using cover to obscure their military affiliations." "These scientists use various kinds of cover, ranging from the use of misleading historical names for their institutions to the use of names of non-existent institutions," the Canberra-based think tank found. Most were Australia-bound and studied topics such as hypersonic missiles and navigation technology. The majority came from top Chinese military academies such as the National University of Defense Technology, which is led by the state-run Central Military Commission. Other popular destinations included the European Union and the United States —countries that view Beijing as an intelligence adversary. These nations, however, may be oblivious to their inadvertent role in China's military advancement, according to the report's author. ASPI's findings come amid widespread fears of Beijing using education, spying, political donations and people-to-people diplomacy to gain a greater clout abroad. The issue threatens to further strain relations between China and Western economies at a time when Beijing is dominating the global trade conversation.The Chinese army encourages its academics, who are civilians, "to work on areas of interest to the military while they're overseas" in order to leverage foreign training to develop improved technology at home, Joske wrote. The process is described by the PLA as "picking flowers in foreign lands to make honey in China," but it risks "harming the West's strategic advantage." Chinese military researchers may also engage in espionage or steal intellectual property while overseas, he warned. That's a particularly sensitive topic in the current U.S.-China trade war, with Washington accusing Beijing of pilfering technology.Many universities, however, have defended their partnerships with PLA scientists because the funding they get from China. But Chinese student in US universities are caught under cross fires of US-China trade war.Since the start of the China-US trade war last year, Washington has tightened visa restrictions for graduate researchers in hi-tech fields such as robotics, aviation and artificial intelligence. Several Chinese citizens working in these fields in the US have been arrested for allegedly spying on engineers and scientists. Chinese students see job opportunities for them dwindle in both countries, Chinese science students at American universities are wrestling with a dilemma: should they stay, or go back to China? The are feeling the heat as they felt anxious about what they perceived as an increasingly hostile climate towards Chinese students in the US. The Trump administration’s tough China policies have added to the difficulties some Chinese students were having in adapting to Western schooling. Amid employment and visa uncertainty, some had extended their graduate studies’ time limits to improve their chances of winning jobs or US citizenship. More than 360,000 Chinese nationals study at American higher education institutions. Trump’s policies, however, may well be reversing the influx of students from China – and that could be good news for Indian students.US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cautioned U.S. allies on 11 February 2019 against deploying equipment from Chinese telecoms giant Huawei on their soil, saying it would make it more difficult for Washington to "partner alongside them". The United States and its Western allies believe Huawei Technologies' apparatus could be used for espionage, and see its expansion into central Europe as a way to gain a foothold in the EU market. "We have seen this all around the world, it also makes it more difficult for America to be present," Pompeo told reporters during a stop at the U.S. embassy," referring to Huawei equipment. "If that equipment is co-located where we have important American systems, it makes it more difficult for us to partner alongside them." US-China cold war on technology has just begun and China is to be blamed for this as they were secretly stealing or arm-twisting other developed countries to handover technology. PLA Air Force fighter jets are, for example, reverse engineering copy of Russian jets.The March 2018 report on Section 301 investigation running into nearly 50 pages says China fundamentally has not altered its acts, policies and practices relating to technology transfer, intellectual property and innovation, and "indeed appears" to have taken further unreasonable actions in recent months. The report reiterates that China uses foreign ownership restrictions, such as joint venture requirements and foreign equity limitations, and various administrative reviews and licensing processes to require or pressure technology transfer from US companies.Further, China's regime of technology regulations forces US companies seeking to license technologies to Chinese entities to do so on non-market based terms that favour Chinese recipients, it alleged. The report said that instead of accepting the USTR request for consultations on its 30-1 investigation, China expressed "strong dissatisfaction" with the US and decried the investigation as "irresponsible" and "not objective". The USTR said China shows no signs of ceasing its policy and practice of conducting and supporting cyber enabled theft and intrusions into the commercial networks of US companies. This illicit conduct provides the Chinese government with unauthorised access to intellectual property, trade secrets, confidential business information, technical data, negotiating positions and sensitive and proprietary internal business communications, it said. In recent months, the Department of Justice has indicted a dozen individuals and corporate entities directed by the Chinese government to obtain commercial secrets from 15 companies, predominantly in aerospace and high-technology sectors. The facts alleged in these indictments reflect China's ongoing determination to obtain trade secrets and other valuable commercial information in support of China's industrial policy.But going forward, Western governments must deepen discussions on PLA collaboration "to determine how it relates to national interests" in addition to enhancing scrutiny of visa applications by foreign military personnel, the report recommended.A well-known case is high-speed rail and Chinese government called the theft the paradigm example of indigenous innovation. In 2004, China’s Ministry of Railways tendered for bids to make high-speed trains reaching 200 kmper hour. To win the contracts, foreign companies had to form joint ventures and make significant transfers of technology to their Chinese partners. Alstom of France, a Japanese consortium led by Kawasaki, and Bombardier’s German subsidiary won parts of the contract. Bombardier-Sifang and Kawasaki-Sifang transferred technology to subsidiaries of China South Rail and Alstom-Changchun transferred technology to China North Rail. Both China South Rail and China North Rail were state-owned enterprises.In 2005, Siemens of Germany won a contract with China North Rail’s Tangshan Railway Vehicle Company to supply technology to build 60 passenger trains for the high-speed railway linking Beijing and Tianjin. The first three trains were constructed in Siemens’ German plant, while the remaining 57 trains were made at China North Rail’s Tangshan plant in Hebei, China. Over a thousand of China North Rail’s technical staff were trained at Siemens facilities in Germany as part of the deal. With all the technologies acquired and learned, China has become a strong rival to the world’s high-speed train producers. By 2014, China’s premier Li Keqiang was considered salesman of China’s high speed rail (or bullet train). He went to many counties to sell Chinese bullet train including India (New Delhi-Chennai route). China now has 60% of global bullet train routes and expanding agressively.Chinese hackers have breached U.S. Navy contractors to steal a raft of information, including missile plans, through what some officials describe as some of the most debilitating cyber campaigns linked to Beijing. Victims have included contractors of all sizes, with some of the smaller ones struggling to invest in securing their networks, as hackers over the last 18 months have conducted numerous breaches to gather intelligence, sabotage American systems, and steal intellectual property, the Journal reported. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. The Journal's report was based on information from experts and officials, who said that Navy Secretary Richard Spencer had ordered a review of cybersecurity weaknesses that led to an initial assessment validating concerns and laying groundwork for a response by the Navy. Officials in the Navy called the breaches troubling and unacceptable, the Journal reported.National Security Agency official Rob Joyce said on Tuesday that in general Chinese cyber activity in the United States had risen in recent months. The digital attacks have targeted the U.S. energy, financial, transportation and healthcare sectors, and gone beyond efforts to spy and steal intellectual property into disrupting critical infrastructure. Chinese officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment but have denied they engage in cyberattacks.Hackers behind a massive breach at hotel group Marriott International Inc left clues suggesting they were working for a Chinese government intelligence gathering operation, according to sources familiar with the matter. Marriott said in December 2018 that a hack that began four years ago had exposed the records of up to 500 million customers in its Starwood hotels reservation system. Private investigators looking into the breach have found hacking tools, techniques and procedures previously used in attacks attributed to Chinese hackers, said three sources who were not authorised to discuss the company's private probe into the attack. That suggests that Chinese hackers may have been behind a campaign designed to collect information for use in Beijing's espionage efforts and not for financial gain. While China has emerged as the lead suspect in the case, the sources cautioned it was possible somebody else was behind the hack because other parties had access to the same hacking tools, some of which have previously been posted online.Identifying the culprit is further complicated by the fact that investigators suspect multiple hacking groups may have simultaneously been inside Marriott computer networks since 2014, said one of the sources.The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not return requests for comment. If investigators confirm that China was behind the attack, that could complicate already tense relations between Washington and Beijing, amid an ongoing tariff dispute and U.S. accusations of Chinese espionage and the theft of trade secrets.Hackers working on behalf of Chinese intelligence breached the network of Norwegian software firm Visma to steal secrets from its clients, cyber security researchers said, in what a company executive described as a potentially catastrophic attack. The attack was part of what Western countries said in December is a global hacking campaign by China's Ministry of State Security to steal intellectual property and corporate secrets, according to investigators at cyber security firm Recorded Future. China's Ministry of State Security has no publicly available contacts. The foreign ministry did not respond to a request for comment, but Beijing has repeatedly denied any involvement in cyber-enabled spying. Visma took the decision to talk publicly about the breach to raise industry awareness about the hacking campaign, which is known as Cloudhopper and targets technology service and software providers in order reach their clients. Cyber security firms and Western governments have warned about Cloudhopper several times since 2017 but have not disclosed the identities of the companies affected.British analysts briefed EU counterparts at a meeting on January 28 2019, offering evidence of both software and hardware attacks by the group known as Advanced Persistent Threat 10, or APT 10. They would not give details of the alleged hardware attack, claiming the information was classified. Officials at the meeting discussed potential responses, such as sanctions or a joint warning. The issue might be discussed at a scheduled EU-China Summit in April 2019. The focus on APT 10 is part of a broader clampdown by Europe and the United States on alleged espionage and intellectual property theft by China. The hacker group was at the centre of charges in December 2018 by the US Department of Justice, which accused Chinese officials of orchestrating a decade-long, since 2006, espionage campaign that involved infiltrating companies in the US and more than a dozen other countries.US prosecutors also unsealed indictments against two Chinese men, Zhu Hua (aka ‘Godkiller’) and Zhang Shilongin, for their alleged involvement in the group since 2006. They have been charged with “conspiracy to commit computer intrusions on corporate servers of IBM, HPE (now merged with Perot Systems to for DXC), NASA etc. with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft”, the indictment from the US Justice Department states. Both men worked at Huaying Haitai Science and Technology Development Company and “acted in association with the Chinese Ministry of State Security’s Tianjian State Security Bureau”. So the suspect over Huawai was emerging over a decade. China, however continue its one word denials as ‘baseless’.“Some countries’ accusations against China on the cybersecurity issue are unfounded and groundless, driven by ulterior motives,” the Chinese mission to the EU said in response to the allegations. “We urge the relevant parties to stop defaming China, so as not to undermine their bilateral relations and cooperation with China.”For any response against China linked to cyberattacks, the EU’s members would need to agree unanimously that the country was responsible and not all EU members agreed, a source said. Britain is expected to leave the bloc at the end of March. The EU is developing protocols to respond to malicious cyber activities, for instance by imposing sanctions, but it can be difficult to clearly attribute actions to individuals or a nation state.The British foreign office in December 2018 joined the US in pressing the accusations against APT 10, claiming that the group acted on behalf of the Chinese government “to carry out a malicious cyber campaign targeting intellectual property and sensitive commercial data in Europe, Asia and the US”.The US justice department claimed that the group used a technique known as spear phishing, in which emails that pretend to be from legitimate addresses are sent with attached documents and files that secretly install malware if opened. That can give hackers access to a subject’s computer and allow them to steal usernames and passwords, files and other information.US cybersecurity firm FireEye, which has been tracking APT 10 since 2009, said the Chinese cyber espionage group had targeted construction and engineering, aerospace and telecom firms, as well as governments in the US, Europe and Japan in an effort to support Chinese national security goals of acquiring military and intelligence information.Taiwan is investigating six current and former employees of BASF's local operations suspected of leaking corporate secrets to a rival Chinese company. Five employees were detained and one had been granted bail by a court, Lu Sung Hao, Taipei-based director of Taiwan's Crime Investigation Bureau, told Reuters. The prosecution has not filed any charges against them. The case comes amid fears among officials and executives around the globe about industrial espionage by China. The Bureau said in a statement that a senior manager was suspected of stealing electronic manufacturing processes, technology, and other trade secrets, and leaking and selling them to a competitor in China for a high price. The company that paid for the information was identified as China's Jiangyin Jianghua Microelectronics Materials Co., which had offered 40 million yuan ($5.8 million) to the current and former employees in return for the technology transfer to build a factory in China, Lu said. The employees had received a series of payments totalling T$40 million ($1.30 million) late last year in two bank accounts, Lu said. The company, which also said that it owns 58 patents, says on its website that it manufactures and supplies wet electronic chemicals that are used in products like semiconductors and flat panel displays.German chemical company BASF said that only one of the people under investigation is a current employee and that the individual's contract had now been suspended. "We have taken immediate steps to support the investigation led by local law enforcement officials and protect the relevant information," BASF said.The company and the Bureau both declined to provide any estimate on financial losses. Officials in Taiwan and the United States have been accusing Chinese companies of intellectual property theft amid China's multi-billion drive to cut reliance on foreign chips and build up its own semiconductor industry. Taiwan has vowed to defend its chip industry, the island's economic backbone, by tightening its regulations and penalties on corporate espionage.Arrest of Ms Meng of Huawei can be a turning point of China’s global espionage game
