Power came back on around 11:10pm last night.
Laura Codruta Kovesi ....
During her five years as anti-corruption chief, she put 68 high-level functionaries on trial, including 14 government ministers or ex-ministers and 53 deputies from both houses of the Romanian parliament.
By the time she was forced out of the job by the governing Social Democrats (PSD), 37 of those politicians had already been convicted, and most of the other cases were ongoing.
The PSD consider her their enemy, even though public officials from all parties were prosecuted......
Eventually, after a long battle, the government forced the president to fire her.
Ms Kovesi stood accused of abusing her office and over-use of wire-tapping facilities from the secret services; her district prosecutors were accused of pressuring witnesses.
A fraud inquiry was launched against her, which she dismissed as part of a smear campaign.
......
Her new office will place her at the centre of disputes about the future reach of the EU.
"I will not answer to the critics. I will answer to the citizens," she said in a 2017 BBC interview.
Parliament and Council negotiators agreed on appointing Laura Codruţa Kövesi, MEPs’ preferred choice to be the first head of the new EU Public Prosecutor’s Office on Tuesday.
It "is 100% false, absurd and ridiculous... this is less serious than Alice in Wonderland," he wrote on Twitter.
When you’ve graced the covers of international fashion magazines and shared runways and agents with the likes of Naomi Campbell, it’s safe to say you’ve seen behind a curtain few others on this planet ever have.Shortly after I began publicly speaking out about Hollywood, I was contacted by Ana Lucia Alves.
A woman whose high-profile career has not only spanned continents and stretched across industries, but involved everyone from Harvey Weinstein and Leonardo DiCaprio to royalty and rock stars. Ana and Johnny Depp I knew right away that Ana’s well-documented testimony was going to be a very important part of the official record. What I didn’t know was how many bombshells it would contain.

How are these younger, attractive 'journalists' having sex with older government men in exchange for top secret information anything more than prostitutes?
Remember the NYT babe that slept with the Senate dude for FISA warrant info?
...Watching the show
White installed bugging equipment and a two-way mirror behind which he would sit on a portable toilet, quaffing a martini from the pitcher he kept in the refrigerator, and observe the proceedings. The prostitutes who staffed the operation were paid in part with chits they could use for favors such as getting out of jail....
The CeyeA was particularly interested in the venerable question of how sex could be used to get a man to talk. At first White and his colleagues wondered if having the prostitute offer some extra sexual service might work, but soon realized that, in the words of an observer, “We found the guy was focused solely on hormonal needs. He was not thinking of his career or anything else at that point.”....
Operation Midnight Climax soon expanded beyond the Telegraph Hill pad. CeyeA operatives began dosing people with acid in restaurants, bars and beaches. They also used other, more exotic drugs: “If we were scared enough of a drug not to try it out on ourselves, we sent it to San Francisco,” a CeyeA source told Marks. And the agency began using the prostitutes to lure men of all sorts, not just marginal figures, back to the safe house. .....

This is absolutely insane, man. I cannot believe that something like this has to happen in the United States of America in 2019. I thought California was supposed to be the most advanced state we have? They cant even keep their freaking lights on!

Resonance disaster
In mechanics and construction a resonance disaster describes the destruction of a building or a technical mechanism by induced vibrations at a system's resonance frequency, which causes it to oscillate. Periodic excitation optimally transfers to the system the energy of the vibration and stores it there. Because of this repeated storage and additional energy input the system swings ever more strongly, until its load limit is exceeded.
