Reporter Laurie Roberts: Arizona's 2-for-1 Senators | TIME TO VOTE

Will you or won't you listen to the voters of Arizona ? via
 
Here's just a snippet-snatch of her Op-Ed Opinion Piece
Where McCain, Flake stand on the bill
“What’s currently on the table is not popular with Arizona voters,” said Mike Noble, managing partner and chief pollster at OH Predictive Insights, which conducted the poll on Wednesday.
Something for both McCain and Flake to think about.
McCain on Thursday panned "skinny repeal" but left the door open to voting for it as long as he has assurances the House won't actually pass it – that a final bill will hammered out in a conference committee. How that squares with his call just two days ago for bipartisan cooperation remains to be seen. 
McCain has also said said he'll do whatever Gov. Doug Ducey wants. Hard to see how Ducey could support a skinny bill that would blow up already rocketing insurance premiums by another 20 percent, according to a CBO analysis.
Flake, meanwhile, has thus far supported every one of the various doomed versions of the Senate health-care bill. It’s easy to see why. . .
MORE BAD NEWS FOR FLAKE?
" . . . Poll is particularly bad news for Flake
While only 11 percent of Republican voters polled support the current Senate bill, 59 percent want the Affordable Care Act repealed and replaced.
 
Look for Flake to go along with whatever comes along.  He's up for re-election next year and likely will face either state Treasurer Jeff DeWit or former GOP Chairman Robert Graham in the primary. Either would be a formidable candidate . . .
Flake will face all voters, a whopping 6 percent of whom support what the Senate is doing.
The automated poll of 700 Arizona voters was conducted Wednesday. It has a margin of error of 3.7 percent.

Imperial
Today, July 27th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes documents from the Imperial project of the CIA.
Achilles is a capability that provides an operator the ability to trojan an OS X disk image (.dmg) installer with one or more desired operator specified executables for a one-time execution. 
Link > https://wikileaks.com/vault7/#Imperial
Aeris is an automated implant written in C that supports a number of POSIX-based systems (Debian, RHEL, Solaris, FreeBSD, CentOS). It supports automated file exfiltration, configurable beacon interval and jitter, standalone and Collide-based HTTPS LP support and SMTP protocol support - all with TLS encrypted communications with mutual authentication. It is compatible with the NOD Cryptographic Specification and provides structured command and control that is similar to that used by several Windows implants.
SeaPea is an OS X Rootkit that provides stealth and tool launching capabilities. It hides files/directories, socket connections and/or processes. It runs on Mac OSX 10.6 and 10.7.

Debian Linux 7 (i386)
Debian Linux 7 (amd64)
Debian Linux 7 (ARM)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (i386)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (amd64)
Solaris 11 (i386)
Solaris 11 (SPARC)
FreeBSD 8 (i386)
FreeBSD 8 (amd64)
CentOS 5.3 (i386)
CentOS 5.7 (i386)
 
SeaPea
The third tool called SeaPea is an OS X Rootkit that provides a stealth and tool launching capabilities.
It was Developed in Shell Script and it was calling as Buildinstaller.py.
it has an ability to interact with the kernel of OS X  by CIA operators which lead to infect with OS X systems while rebooting.
SeaPea can able to hide files, Start socket connections and launch the malicious Files.
According to CIA’s SeaPea, Document Rootkit Operate in 3 categories.
  • Normal: A normal process is the default category for any process. The activity of a normal process is not hidden by the rootkit.
  • Elite: An elite process is hidden from normal processes and elite processes. That means that an elite process cannot see its own activity.
  • Super-Elite: A super-elite process is a type of elite process. A super-elite process is hidden from normal processes and elite processes, but not super-elite processes. This means that a super-elite process can see all activity. Only an elite process can become super-elite.

IMAGINE MESA /Pre-Determined Outcomes: John Giles Stages A Show

Mesa Mayor John Giles must have called out the troops to round up enough bodies to fill the seats for this "Campaign Kick-Off" - packing the house in this self-created cringe-worthy event produced for a Facebook live event back on June 29th. The audience doesn't look like a representative sampling of what the diverse population of the city of over 475,000 look like at all, does it? ...more like a choir watching the conductor to get a few face refrains, huh? 
Watch the video >
 
 
Kicking off the #ImagineMesa community engagement campaign.
We want to hear your ideas for Mesa's future at: https://goo.gl/XkWo2S
________________________________________________________________________
 
Here's some feedback posted on the Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ReportMesaCorruption
Feedback: Actually listen to the community! You know, when the community said they overwhelmingly said they didn't want private jails.... When they voted against a giveaway to ASU.... when they said they voted to have the historical museum at the federal building.... when they said they wanted more officers in their neighborhoods.
Mayor and council, you are not listening to anything but your own greedy conscious. Now you want to spend hundreds of hours of staff time, $50k on consultants to build a digital tool that you won't listen to unless it fits your agenda, $20k on ill placed social media ads (we can see by your current viewers how great you are at this) and then involve a bunch of people to spend their time so you can make another report to sit on the shelf?
What results came from the previous ad-hoc committees?
All of us employees and residents know your games. Unfortunately we are all under threat of losing our jobs if we don't support your self serving, box checking, fake community efforts. What actual community work have any of the council even done? Watch one council meeting. You will never see a staff member challenge a council decision.

MDHI Celebrates Glass Cockpits > New Product Development @ ALEA 2017

Posted on ; MD Helicopters Press Release
MDHI celebrates glass cockpits; new product development at ALEA 2017
Last month, MD Helicopters, Inc. (MDHI) announced the completion of all TIA requirements for its Block 1 glass cockpit upgrade for the MD 600N. Concurrent to the MD 600N effort, MD Helicopters is also integrating the Block 1 cockpit into the MD 530F, with Federal Aviation Administration review and approval for a type certificate change for all new 369FF models expected later this summer.
Source: https://www.verticalmag.com/press-releases

Integration and testing efforts for the integration of MDHI’s Block 1 glass cockpit upgrade on all single-engine airframes was announced at the HAI Heli-Expo in March 2017.
With customer orders already in queue, MDHI expects to have type certificate modifications for its full range of single-engine aircraft, including the MD 500E and MD 520N, by mid-2018.
MDHI also unveiled a new, all-glass cockpit for its MD 902 Explorer at this year’s Heli-Expo. The flight deck, featuring three Genesys Aerosystems IDU-680 six-inch by nine-inch LCD primary displays remains on track for certification by the end of 2017.
Market Growth
MD Helicopters is experiencing an increase in market growth across nearly every segment served. New aircraft orders fulfilling utility/transport, emergency medical service (EMS), law enforcement and military operations have created one of the strongest backlogs the company has seen in years. With this backlog has come a rapidity of innovation in both manufacturing process and technology integration that is setting the pace for future industry growth.
To further enhance MDHI’s aftermarket capabilities, the company will stand up a brand new Aftermarket Center of Excellence (ACE) near its Mesa, Arizona, headquarters. The Aftermarket Center of Excellence will host the latest test cell technology; an innovation that will allow repair and overhauls to be made at lightning pace. Turnaround times will be quick, efficient, and up to the highest standards of a world class aircraft manufacturer.
Aftermarket Center of Excellence (ACE)
