Mr. Cohen, an attorney, received a monthly retainer, 💰 not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, 💰 a private contract between two parties, known as a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA. These agreements are very common among celebrities and people of wealth. In this case it is in full force and effect and will be used in Arbitration for damages 💰 against Ms. Clifford (Daniels). The agreement was used to stop the false and extortionist accusations made by her about an affair, despite already having signed a detailed letter admitting that there was no affair. Prior to its violation by Ms. Clifford and her attorney, this was a private agreement. Money 💰 from the campaign, or campaign contributions, 💰 played NO ROLL in this transaction.

BIG THANK YOU to the 18 loyal Republicans in Congress who wrote a letter to the Nobel Committee on my behalf. @FLOTUS came to our Country on an Einstein visa. But I'm the first in the family to win a Nobel Prize. I've won many awards -- for environmental, for so many things -- but the Nobel is a nice one. Very nice. And it's never been more deserved. foxnews.com/politics/2018/05/02/house-lawmakers-formally-nominate-trump-for-2019-nobel-peace-prize.html

In India, entry-level job applicants are called "Freshers". Knowing that will help me find more Indian companies to list at Soggy Jobs.

From its very start *no one* had a clue as to why I refered to "Computer Jobs".

There are two reasons: one is that most computer programmers do _not_ work in the computer business; they write "in-house apps" for other kinds of companies such as financial firms, medical companies as well as government agencies.

Admittedly my original title "The Global Computer Employer Index" did a poor job of conveying that message. Just today I renamed it to The Global Computer Industry Index. On the geographic pages I use titles like Find a Computer Industry Job in Goregaon, India.

(Doubtlessly to the dismay of tens of millions of women, Indian employers are permitted to specify "Male Candidates Only" in their job descriptions; it's that way in the Philippines too.)

The other reason is that I don't just list corporate software job portals but also hardware - for electrical engineers, electronics technicians, electronic test engineers and the like.

Despite that intent I list very, very few hardware companies for the simple reason that I didn't know how to look for them. It's easy to find publicly-traded companies like Intel, AMD and Apple but how I do find the small ones?

Really I _still_ don't know.

So I'm listing the big hardware companies, at least for now. Over the last few days I've been working on ARM Holdings, which designs the microprocessors that are found in most mobile devices as well as embedded systems such as my Antminer L3+ LiteCoin mining rig.

Also until recently I really didn't list any multinationals because I found the prospect of listing all their locations quite intimidating. This because I would have to create new pages for each new country, state or province, maybe the counties and the cities just so I could list _one_ company's office.

To my delight I've found the work of building out my site to have gotten far easier as I've progressed: if I find just _one_ tech company in Oula, I'm likely to find lots more; I've been devoting steadily-fewer hours to creating totally new HTML files as well as finding the companies to list.

It is quite helpful that some multinationals make it really easy to find a list of _all_ their locations. Oracle is the easiest but ARM Holdings isn't so bad. Rather than adding one new city then returning to ARM's careers portal, I open a text file to record just the names of the cities then scan through all the listings for tech jobs.

Progressively,

Soggy Mike

Please Critique My Unfinished Essay On Happiness

In Your Infinite Free Time... Do Yer Worst:

(I only just now created my site's Recovery section. I at first was going to post this in my Mental Illness section but realized the topic was of interest to those who are in recovery for many different reasons: recovering addicts, survivors of sexual abuse, survivors of violence and war.)

I wrote Key to Happiness in 2004 then posted it to my previous website
so I could solicit criticism from the other members of the now-defunct
community website Kuro5hin. Everyone at "K5" was a dedicated writer
with most of us also being computer programmers.

My ex Bonita Hatcher felt this essay had potential and so encouraged
me to devote a lot more time and effort to it.

At the time I cited two books: Timothy Miller's "How to Want what You
Have" as well as "Flow: the Psychology of Optimal Experience" by
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

("ME-High Chicks Sent Me HIGH-Yee" according to the man himself.)

I expected to read then cite some other books but I never got that
far. 2004 was a very difficult year for Bonita and I.

Critically,

Michael David Crawford

Find a Computer Job in the United Kingdom

London is the only one with lots of listings.

Most of those cities have only one listing: Oracle.

I find that deeply disturbing. I'll go hide from Larry Ellison now.
