Women sent cables, made dead drops, and maintained the agency's secrets. Despite discrimination—even because of it—women who started as clerks, secretaries, or unpaid spouses rose to become some of the CIA's shrewdest operatives. They were unlikely spies—and that's exactly what made them perfect for the role. Because women were seen as unimportant, pioneering female intelligence officers moved unnoticed around Bonn, Geneva, and Moscow, stealing secrets from under the noses of their KGB adversaries. Back at headquarters, women built the CIA's critical archives—first by hand, then by computer. And they noticed things that the men at the top didn't see. As the CIA faced an identity crisis after the Cold War, it was a close-knit network of female analysts who spotted the rising threat of al-Qaeda—though their warnings were repeatedly brushed aside. After the 9/11 attacks, more women joined the agency as a new job, targeter, came to prominence. They showed that data analysis would be crucial to the post-9/11 national security landscape—an effort that culminated spectacularly in the CIA's successful effort to track down bin Laden in his Pakistani compound. Propelled by the same meticulous reporting and vivid storytelling that infused Code Girls, The Sisterhood offers a riveting new perspective on history, revealing how women at the CIA ushered in the modern intelligence age, and how their silencing made the world more dangerous. 1115-1130 6/8: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Hardcover – October 17, 2023 by  Liza Mundy  (Author) 1130-1145 7/8: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Hardcover – October 17, 2023 by  Liza Mundy  (Author) 1145-1200 8/8: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Hardcover – October 17, 2023 by  Liza Mundy  (Author) FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 #MrMarket: #SoftData: Breakfast plates as big as hubcaps and the Apple Store jammed in Lancaster County.   Jim McTague, former Washington Editor, Barrons. @MCTagueJ.  Author of the "Martin and Twyla Boundary Series."  #FriendsofHistoryDebatingSociety https://www.wsj.com/economy/consumers/us-retail-sales-report-2024-030eaa0a 1215-1230 #Italy: Italy struggles to fend off  the migrants from Tunisia rescued by NGO migration activists. https://apnews.com/article/italy-migration-rescue-ships-meloni-52d3137cb7a88aff6c169d52d1ea830e 1230-1245 #Ukraine: Out of ammo as the US Congress and the GOP turn away.

New in this update:Friday COVID-19 updateVancouver Island is ending the week with COVID-19 case counts in the double digits. Today, there are 27 new cases confirmed, for a total of 134 new cases in the past seven days. The chief medical officer for Island Health, Dr. Richard Stanwick, says he expected to see a spike in cases this week, the result of Christmas and New Year's gatherings. Province, wide there are 617 new cases and 18 deaths in the past 24 hours.Clarifications made to essential visitors policyThe Minister of Health has announced changes to the province's essential visitor policy at long term care and assisted living facilities. Essential visitors are people who help residents with tasks ranging from hygiene or eating to mental wellness. They are supposed to be allowed to visit daily, but many have complained visits are denied arbitrarily. Some care homes have been accused of never telling families that an essential visitor designation was available to them. Adrian Dix says the amended policy is intended to more clearly outline what is expected of care homes when it comes to essential visitors."This will provide more consistency across care homes because there has been justifiable concern about that and not just from families and residents but also from workers and providers themselves, so this provides more consistency. And it also provides a clear pathway when a family or a person disagrees with a decision not to allow an essential visit."—Minister of Health Adrian Dix.Dix says there has been no change to social visitor policies, which usually take place once every two weeks for about an hour. He says that is unlikely to change for months until workers and residents in all homes in B.C. have been vaccinated against COVID-19.COVID-19 vaccine queue calculatorAre you curious about when you might receive the COVID-19 vaccine? There's a new online site that can give you a rough idea. It's called the Vaccine Queue Calculator for Canada It takes into account the federal guidelines for who gets the vaccine across the country, which is in line with the plan in B.C., however, every province has its own schedule so the results are only an estimate. The calculator's developers say as more data and more vaccines are approved, the calculator will become more predictable and accurate. B.C. ahead of national average for employmentEmployment figures for November show B.C. is doing better than the national average. While the national unemployment rate fell less than half a percentage point to 8 and a half per cent, the unemployment rate in B.C. fell almost a full point to 7.1 per cent. Despite new COVID-19 restrictions on events and gatherings, B.C. gained 24,000 jobs in November. Most of those gains were in construction. However, about 20,000 part-time jobs were lost, most of which were in sectors like tourism and hospitality. B.C.'s total employment has now bounced back to 98.7% of pre-pandemic levels.

Remember in history class when you read about the drunken Irish mob that tried to invade Canada? It gets about half a page in most high-school history textbooks and like so much of the official historical narrative in this country, there's more to the story.In this podcast episode, host Russell Hillier talks to historian and author, Peter Vronsky, about his book Ridgeway: The History of Canada, and gets to the bloody truth about the Fenian invasions.Far from being a drunken mob, the Fenians who invaded Canada in 1866 were hardened veterans of the American Civil War and they bested Upper Canada on the field of battle. Imagine in the year 2020, a thousand American veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, armed with the latest military technology, crossed into Canada. Think of the panic and confusion resulting from such a move. This is precisely what happened in 1866, as 1000 Fenian veterans from the Civil War crossed the Niagara frontier, with the goal of capturing Canada and holding it hostage in exchange for Britain relinquishing control of Ireland.In hindsight, it seems like a crazy proposition and yet, the Fenians did land an army and completely routed the Canadian forces sent against them in the battle of Ridgeway.In this episode, we get into the Fenian strategy, the battle tactics and the reasons why this battle has been largely forgotten by Canadian history.

Welcome! Good morning, everybody. I was on with Mr. Jim Polito this morning and we discussed all about Canada and some of the things going on there.  We talked about the Ring doorbell vulnerabilities and the big vulnerability in the Firefox browser and why you must patch this.  Then we talked about why it is important to segment your home network. So, here we go with Mr. Polito. For more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com ---  Automated Machine Generated Transcript: Craig Good morning, everybody. Craig Peterson here. I was on with Jim little this morning, and we got into Canada for some odd reason. It had to do with the death of that sports broadcaster who was from Canada. We talked a little bit about Canada, my family, and the problems with socialism up there. Isn't that always the case with socialism the problems are married. Then we got into the whole thing about ring doorbell safety, security, and privacy. So here we go with Mr. Polito. Jim Polito He has Canadian Heritage, but he denies all of the rumors that Harry and Megan will be staying with him, in Canada, or with his relatives in Canada. Joining us now is our tech talk guru, Craig Peterson. Good morning, sir. Craig Peterson Good Morning. Jim Polito Yeah, I told everybody he's an American now, there's no truth to the rumors. He was not part of the team that convinced Harry and Megan to come over to Canada and then eventually, you know, the United States, North America. I said, Now, Craig Peterson has nothing to do with that. I didn't even bother to call you to ask whether or not the rumors are true. Craig Peterson I don't get why people even care, right. When I lived in Canada. I had an aunt who was totally into the Royals. She tracked everything they were doing. If you've seen the show "The Crown", you know, she knew every little thing that every member of the family was doing. I know some people are really into it. Personally, not me. I prefer Doug and Bob McKenzie, but they haven't been performing for very long time. Jim Polito Hoser. One of your countrymen, just passed on and I'm not joking, it is sad Neil Peart died from brain cancer at 67 years old. He was an incredible drummer, whether you like Rush's music or not. He was just an incredible musician and lyricist, just an incredible guy. Craig Well, you know, in Canada, they require broadcasters, anyone, with a broadcast license or radio or television to play a certain amount of Canadian content? I think it's like 40%, at least usually. The reason they did that is to help build the Canadian industry. So if you wondered why so many musicians and bands come out of Canada, that is the reason. A lot of them are coming out of the US, too. Did you ever wonder why half of the news anchors are from Canada? It just goes on and on. It is because the Canadian federal government is forcing businesses to find people who are good, like me, I know, and then pushing the stations to play their stuff. Jim Polito You didn't catch it on this whole thing when you were Canadian. Craig Peterson Oh, man, that was so many years. Jim Polito I know, but you should have you should. I mean, if they had that kind of, first of all, I don't agree with those type of things, government involvement. However, if they had that down here, like, wow, I'd be trying to figure out a way to cash in on it. Craig Peterson Well, I had to leave Canada because of the creeping socialism. You know, in Canada, when I was in my teens, I was already in a 50% tax bracket. Jim Polito At 19 years old, half of what you earned was going to the government. Craig Peterson Exactly, and my driver's license again back in the 70s, in Quebec was $300 a year. Car registration for the family, for the family station wagon, was almost $3,000 a year. These are not adjusted numbers I've given you. It was 1970. Registration $3,000 a year! But you know what? Insurance was free. There was no-fault insurance. The province paid all the bills, and I've got horror stories of almost every member of my family dealing with the Canadian healthcare system. Yeah. It's terrible. My dad has a heart attack, and he's in the back of an ambulance in Toronto. He's in Toronto, big, big city. Jim Polito Toronto Craig Peterson Having a heart attack and they're driving around hospital to hospital for three hours before they find a hospital that will finally admit him. Then he's admitted, and they say they'd keep him overnight and do some blood work. They did a cardiac test and found sloping t-waves. Yes, you had a heart attack. Take aspirin. Now he's having mini-strokes, and they won't treat him. My mother had a pancreas attack - pancreatitis, which is quite painful, right. She found a hospital in Montreal that would take admit her. Well, if you call admission being put on a gurney in a hallway for three days where they don't feed her or anything. They just gave her water and told, she would feel better soon. Jim Polito Oh boy. You know, we should do get to this video doorbell thing, but we should do a segment one day just to give folks a good eye-opener from an actual Canadian. As to how things operate up there. That would be an exciting segment, but let's get to this. So you've got a video doorbell which technology I think is incredible. You know, it's great, except when used against you. So now what you're saying is that video doorbell that supposed to keep the bad guys away is inviting the cyber hackers into your home. Craig Peterson Yes, this is an exciting technology. The story behind Ring, this company, is fascinating. These guys that started it, they sold it for apparently a billion dollars to Amazon a couple of years ago. Yeah. And the whole idea initially was, "Hey, listen, you replace your doorbell with this little camera," and you can be in like you are all the time and Bermuda on the beach, right? Someone rings your doorbell, and you can answer the door from there right, and you know when there's good guys and bad guys. Well, it turns out rings been doing a couple of things. One is that they shared themes from these ring doorbells with specific police departments that have applied for this. Now again, it is a double-edged sword. Now the police can look through a neighborhood to see if an abduction occurred. If there is an amber alert, oh my gosh, having a camera accessible to the police on every door. Senator Markey came out and got upset about Amazon making deals with law enforcement agencies that could expose these customers' private personal information. Because it can also show that woman that you brought home a night that wasn't your wife? What's that about? Right? So it's very concerning. But the part that concerns me more than all of that, frankly, because as a tool for law enforcement, I think it can be good. But I'm I am not for a London style surveillance system or Chinese-style surveillance where they watch everything. But the thing that concerns me is that Ring got designed by a couple of kids and bright kids. They use building blocks, and the way you build things nowadays gem is different than it used to be. Nowadays. It's like let's say you want to make a car. You can buy an engine and a crate, right? You've seen these things before? Yeah, of course. You get a crate engine, you can buy a transmission, and that engine has all the parts in it as you're ready to go. That transmission has all the pieces in it. Ready to go? So you make the frame, or maybe you use an existing structure and put a body on it and slam that engine, and you slam that transmission on then add a few little parts, buy the seats, etc. Now you've got a car. Did you design that car? Did you make that car? Well, yes and no. Jim Polito Yeah. Craig Peterson Yeah, exactly. The same thing is happening with software development nowadays, and even hardware development because frankly, this is the same thing. That is, you are not writing all of the software to do everything right. You are going to write an internet protocol stack. You're just going to use an existing one. You're not going to design an operating system, you're going to grab Windows Embedded or Linux or something else and put that in, and then you're not going to create the camera module. You're just going to buy that one from China. And you're not getting design the website, software, etc., etc. So what happens is that guys like green, go ahead and say, hey, I've got this great idea for this camera, here's what we're going to do. And they go out, and they buy a crate engine. They buy a transmission and a great, then they purchase old, and they bolt them together. And they don't realize that Wait a minute. Now, this transmission doesn't quite fit. So we're just going to make this little adapter make it fit. Well, it turns out that those transmissions' were burning out after 10,000 miles because they were never designed to use the amount of power from that engine. However, these guys don't know that. And building something, they're prototyping something, and then they build up a significant market value, which they did a billion dollars in colossal market value. Then they sell this company and more often than not, the company that bought these little guys just goes ahead and puts a turbocharger on the engine and says, Okay, we're all set without really investigating. And that's what it looks like happened here again. It is happening all the time. These systems have not been designed with security in mind. Now, not only is the hardware in many systems not designed with security in mind, but the whole development process does not keep security front and center. So we now have surveillance videos of young kids in their rooms with their ring camera talking to them because of a hack, right? Yeah, we've got login credentials last month of more than 3600 ring account holders breached, reportedly. Their data is sitting up there in the cloud, and accessible by the bad guys. Devices like this, mainly, and over 90-95% of security cameras are built with backdoors by China and are used to lunch attacked out square. So So what do I do? Jim Polito So what do I do? What do I do? Craig Peterson Well, it's scarce to find a home security camera that is not insecure out of the box. In other words, all of them are insecure and kind of the bottom line on this thing, according to Krebs on Security, Brian Krebs. He is a security guy like me, but here's what you do. You have a second network for those devices. That's number one. A lot of the routers that we buy allow you to segment your network. The better routers have this capability, and you can send me an email if you have any questions about this. Now any of these Internet of Things devices, such as cameras, refrigerators, or any other gadget and appliances, can be on a separate network. That's what we do at our house. So we have multiple Wi-Fi networks. So that stops the bad guys from being able to attack or get information from your computer. Jim Polito You have given us advice on this before for other things, as you've said you must protect yourself from being hacked by the Internet of Things. Craig Peterson Exactly right. And then what can you do about the hacker getting into it? Well, then it gets a little bit more complicated. You have to use specialized software and things but bottom line, make sure your security cameras, your ring doorbells, etc., etc. Make sure they're updated when they say there's an update. Okay, no question about it up, and we got two big problems right now. Real quick. Firefox has a known zero-day vulnerability. Make sure you upgrade your Firefox browser. It has a horrible vulnerability. Here's more from good news department over 200 million cable modems are vulnerable to a new hack out there. The bottom line we've got to change the way the systems are designed, and we've got to change the way these systems are maintained. Even Samsung only supports their top model phones for two years, and that's why I keep saying use the never use Samsung, never use Google Home. By the way, it is the least secure. Jim Polito Danny has that. Craig Peterson The elections are a lot safer, at least at this point. But yeah, make sure everything is kept up to date as best you can update your modems (routers/firewalls) and update everything. Its the only way you're going to stay safe. You got to become a bit of an IT expert. All right, you heard it Jim Polito Now, if you want to know more from Craig Peterson, it's straightforward. All you have to do is text My name to this number. Go ahead, Craig 855-385-5553. That just Jim to 855-385-5553 standard data and text rates apply. Craig will not hack you try to sell you stuff. He only provides you with all the information you need. Craig, thank you so much. We'll talk with you next week. Craig Peterson 855-385-5553. That just Jim to 855-385-5553 standard data and text rates apply. Jim Polito Craig will not hack you try to sell you stuff. He just provides you with all the information you need. Craig, thank you so much. We'll talk with you next week. Craig Peterson All right. Thanks, Jim Bye-Bye. Jim Polito All right. We'll be back with a final word Craig Peterson Hey, everybody. I want to tell you something that's coming up. I am so excited about this. I have never seen anything like this before. We have the most incredible thing for you. I really can't tell you much about it right now as it is embargoed. About this, probably starting next week a little bit, but I have. Man, if you are kind of the de facto IT person, right? Maybe you got your Microsoft certification some years ago, and you're the person responsible for the computers in the business. I think I have something that's going to make your life a lot easier. You're now going to be able to sleep-at-night, you're going to be able to take vacation days. Oh, doggie. My wife and my team and I've been working on this now for months. We are getting close, so I got my fingers crossed. We'll do it next week. But keep an eye open and ear out. And also, of course, make sure on my email list, so you find out about it. Craig Peterson, calm slash subscribe. Hey, I also want to make sure that you guys know I am posting videos on The radio show my content online at both Facebook and YouTube. So you can find those, please watch them, please subscribe, please like them, please share them. A lot of work goes into this. It's it is a lot of great information that we're putting together that helps you know what's going on right now. So that when you're at the water cooler, you can be the expert at that water cooler and at the business to help everybody out. All right. So have a great day, and we'll be back tomorrow. Bye-bye.

When Carrie first started writing, she wrote contemporary teen fiction and she heard a lot of comments about being quirky. She’d hear comments like “Could that really happen?” And a lot of times, she’d answer, “Um. It already has.” One time, I had a story with a wedding expo that featured cannabis. Everyone said, “You need to cut that. That would never happen.” Last week in Canada? It did. It was called the Canadian Canabis Wedding Expo. In this world, things you don’t expect to happen tend to happen. And in your stories, it’s good to do that, too. Don’t be afraid to be bizarre. Don’t be afraid to have your character be the clerk in Petco who is there when a Watusi walks in. On a leash of course. When you’re afraid to be weird, bizarre, or even just afraid to be yourself your writing suffers and becomes bland and boring. Take chances. Stand out. Be different. WRITING TIP OF THE POD Take chances. Stand your ground. Write weird. Life is weird. It’s okay to reflect that because when you do? You and your story stand out. DOG TIP FOR LIFE Weird is not an insult. Weird means you’re not boring, that you’re unexpected. Weird is good. Also, weird can make you go viral. SHOUT OUT! The music we’ve clipped and shortened in this podcast is awesome and is made available through the Creative Commons License. Here’s a link to that and the artist’s website. Who is this artist and what is this song? It’s “Night Owl” by Broke For Free. WRITING AND OTHER NEWS IN THE WOODS – READ AN EXCERPT, PREORDER NOW! My next book, IN THE WOODS, appears in July with Steve Wedel. It’s scary and one of Publisher’s Weekly’s Buzz Books for Summer 2019. There’s an excerpt of it there and everything! But even cooler (for me) they’ve deemed it buzz worthy! Buzz worthy seems like an awesome thing to be deemed! You can preorder this bad boy, which might make it have a sequel. The sequel would be amazing. Believe me, I know. It features caves and monsters and love. Because doesn’t every story? HEAR MY BOOK BABY (AND MORE) ON PATREON On February first, I launched my Patreon site where I’m reading chapters (in order) of a never-published teen fantasy novel, releasing deleted scenes and art from some of my more popular books. And so much more. Come hang out with me! Get cool things! WHAT IS PATREON? A lot of you might be new to Patreon and not get how it works. That’s totally cool. New things can be scary, but there’s a cool primer HERE that explains how it works. The short of it is this: You give Patreon your paypal or credit card # and they charge you whatever you level you choose at the end of each month. That money supports me sharing my writing and art and podcasts and weirdness with you. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carriejonesbooks/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/carriejonesbooks/support

Before 1971, there really wasn’t much of a Canadian music industry…sure, there were record labels and recording studios and promoters and agents, but we didn’t have what you’d call a “first-world” industry… Canada was a backwater, a place where the big labels had branch offices…anyone who wanted to make it big had to leave the country, usually for the United States… But then came the Canadian content laws in January 1971…overnight, it became law that Canadian radio stations had to devote 30% of their playlists to Canadian artists…this created an artificial demand for this music which a lot of people screamed bloody murder about… But this demand needed to be serviced, so a modern music industry grew up around it—all the infrastructure required to have a proper domestic scene…that meant more record labels, more recording studios, more promoters, more agents… A domestic star system began to emerge…Canadians started buying more music by Canadian artists…and those artists who didn’t want to bolt for the united states found that they could make a decent living by staying in Canada… It took about 20 years for our music industry to mature into something truly world class…and by the time we got to the 1990s, there was a sense that our best could compete with anyone in the world… That’s when everything exploded…Canadian generation Xers not only embraced the alt-rock that was coming from the States—grunge, industrial, punk, whatever—but also the homegrown stuff…walking into a record store in, say, 1995, meant being faced with racks of Canadian product right up front…and people were mad for it… This is our second half of our remembrance of some great Can-Rock bands of the 90s…

The 16th Hintze lecture, 25th April 2018 delivered by Professor René Doyon, Director, Mont-Mégantic Observatory & Institute for Research on Exoplanets, University of Montreal, Canada It is now well established that planetary systems are very common in the Solar neighbourhood, in particular small rocky planets, similar to Earth, around low-mass stars. Thanks to new ground-and spaced-based infrared facilities soon to be deployed, it will be possible not only to find the closest habitable worlds but also to detect their atmosphere and obtain constraints on their composition. This will be a major stepping stone towards the detection of life outside the Solar system. This lecture will highlight recent exoplanet discoveries and present an overview of ongoing and future projects aiming for the detection and characterisation of nearby habitable worlds. The detection of a biosignature, the evidence for biological activity beyond the Solar System, may be just a few decades away.

Date: April 7, 2016 Featuring: Saranya Loehrer, MD, MPH, Executive Director, North America Strategy and Operations, Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Helen Macfie, PharmD, FABC, Chief Transformation Officer, Certified Lean Leader, MemorialCare Health System Carolyn Candiello, Vice President, Quality and Patient Safety, GBMC HealthCare, Inc. Cate O’Connor-Devlin, RN, BSN, Administrative Director of Patient Throughput/Nurse Safety, GBMC Healthcare, Inc. Rhonda Holden, MSN, CENP, Chief Nursing Officer/Administrator Patient Care Services, Kittitas Valley Healthcare, Ellensburg, WA Cheryl Woodman, ND, MHSc, CHE Chief Strategy Officer, Women’s College Hospital (Toronto, Canada) It started from a very human place. Hospital staff found a way for a new mom recovering in the ICU, and her infant in the NICU, to visit with one another in the aftermath of a difficult birth. When the mom and dad were asked later on about their hospital experience, they singled out this breaking (or bending) of the rules that ensured mother and newborn had time together even while both were in intensive care. That got the hospital, MemorialCare Health System, asking some new questions: What are the rules that both staff and patients continue to run up against? Why do some rules persist, interfering with a more optimal care experience, even after they’ve been relaxed or retired? Are some rules misinterpreted, and still others more like myths that live on just because “we’ve always done it this way?"   The answers were revealing — and got others thinking, too. MemorialCare is part of IHI’s Leadership Alliance; when Alliance members heard about MemorialCare’s experience, they decided to find out what was happening in their own organizations. They did this with a campaign in January 2016 they dubbed “Breaking the Rules.” We learned about the campaign and how Leadership Alliance members came up with nearly 400 rules in need of a second look on this WIHI.

What’s it like to be a rep or work with reps in Canada? It’s the same as it would be in the United States, but it’s also different. In this podcast we speak with Canadian rep Craig Lindsay, President of Pacesetter Sales & Associates, who share the misconceptions and misunderstandings manufacturers and reps have about how reps operate in Canada. Among the challenges Craig’s firm has mastered is servicing a mostly long and narrow sales territory, some 2,800 miles long but just 100 miles deep. That’s because most of Canada’s commerce occurs within about 100 miles of its border with the United States, although Craig’s salespeople do cover the entire country. Craig brings 25 years of experience in his own firm, eight years of experience on MANA’s Board of Directors, and a commonsense perspective on international commerce to this interview.

Whatcha gonna do when Pan Am Mania runs wild on you Canada? It’s been an exciting couple of weeks in Toronto, as the metropolis played host to the Pan-Am games. And while Canadians in all sports exceeded expectations, in particular, athletics yielded a large amount of hard earned hardware in everything from the long jump to the race walk. On this weeks episode of the Terminal Mile, I go through the archives and pull out bits and pieces of my favorite interviews with Canadian Pan-Am athletes, including: Sasha Gollish Nicole Sifuentes Nate Brennan Jessica O’Connell Cam Levins Matt Hughes Natasha Wodak Evan Dunfee Rachel Hannah Rob Watson Peter Eriksson
