Huawei is sold in Canada, and while its market share is very small here in Canada, all those who bought Huawei here will have a problem loading Google updates, or having access to Gmail, etc. in the future, as "Google has confirmed that it will cease allowing Huawei to use its version of Android, instead requiring the Chinese giant to rely on the Android Open Source Project if it wants to use the platform. ... Future Huawei phones will be without Google services."
All this just after Trump ordered Huawei to be put on its blacklist... I do not think this has anything to do with security issues but has more to do with American financial interests - the escalating trade war between USA and China. I have no idea what will happen with Apple phones, since Apple phones are made in China! I own a Samsung. ![]() |

![]() ‘Walking over bodies’: mountaineers describe carnage on Everest An experienced mountaineer has described the “death, carnage and chaos” at the top of Mount Everest as climbers pushed past bodies to reach the world’s highest summit.i am posting about this again because i am really disturbed by this situation! i think it is dumb to want to climb Mount Everest! I understand that it used to be a big achievement, but when you have to wait in a line of 200 people to get there? How is that unique or special anymore? They are lining up at the elevation known as the "Death Zone." if climbers want to summit Mount Everest, the tallest peak in the world at 29,029 feet (8,848 meters or 5.5 miles) above sea level, they have to brave what's known as "The Death Zone" — the altitude above 8,000 meters where there is so little oxygen that the body starts to die, minute by minute and cell by cell.You are actually in the process of dying for every second you stay above 8k! And you are spending those seconds waiting in a line of 200 people! I understand maybe in the 20th century, having summitted Everest was a cool accomplishment to have. But not when 200 people already beat you there THAT DAY. And it sounds like people turn into monsters up there! They put themselves in a life-or-death situation and use the situation as an excuse not to help people dying in front of them, then just climb over the bodies. It's just so metaphorical...for something

I totally agree.
The place is a litter pile. This year before climbing season began, tons of garbage was removed, including older corpses. I respect adventure sports, but most of these folks are not alpinists. They just have a spare $50,000 and the need to have stories to tell to their vapid peers. Hell, they don't have to learn anything. They just have to put in the time to acclimate. It takes no skill beyond the ability to stay upright. It's about the money for the outfitters. It's one thing when an avalanche kills a bunch of climbers, but when they die because the line is too long???? It's way out of control.

If she runs for Governor of Arkansas, she just might win.

One would think... or maybe it's just me... that summiting Everest would have lost a lot of its prestige considering damn near any joker with money can now do it.

Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell this morning, an apparent suicide by hanging.
He was in a suicide prevention cell with 24-hour monitoring, and a tranche of documents was released yesterday that was very bad news for Prince Andrew. I am suspicious! And worried for the victims! Does this mean there won't be a trial, now, and none of the evidence against Trump and Clinton, etc. will come out?

It's all legal battle ~ as to the estate value and all assets ~ Those who used his services will be brought up in court and they will take the brunt for Epstein ~ it's going to bring a lot of shame and jail time on his so called associates. I am not buying the fact that this was a suicide that he did alone. $ paid out for turning their head , murder, tons of speculations .I wonder who is writing the movie already preceded by a book no doubt . The price of pain for the victims should come w/ future residuals . (((((( the young woman )))))) who were victimized by that pig, as young as 14 omg….

Had Jeffrey Epstein, inmate #76318-054, still been on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, regulations would have required him to remain under constant observation by trained “companion” inmates.
