Not Your Typical Mom Blog: From True Crime to Budgeting
I started listening to podcasts when I was working for a car rental company and was spending 2-5 hours a day on the road driving between our downtown office and the airport. I realized a few days into that job that listening to music just wasn't going to be enough for me and I figured I may as well learn some stuff at the same time! The first podcast I ever listened to was Exactly Rights, My Favorite Murder, (available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Stitcher) and let me tell you, I was hooked from episode one. Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark quickly became my best friends that I had never met. They made me laugh, they made me cry, they taught me so many lessons on how to react in certain situations and they made each day a little brighter. When I started listening I think they had about 200 episodes out and I went through every episode in a matter of weeks. They had so many interesting sugestions on books, tv shows, movies and other podcasts! Once I caught up with them and had to wait a whole week (which was SO LONG) for the next episode to drop I started looking at some of their suggestions and finding other shows to listen to.

You Can Teach an Old Cop New Tricks
The Best Job in the World Gary Arbuckle believed he had the best job in the world, and maybe he did. Gary breezed into work, happy with his lot; always cheery, quick to give an encouraging comment or roll off a rapid-fire quip from his never-ending supply of corny jokes.

Impulse
My computer was humming. Winter, the perfect season for intensive CPU work. My window was open letting in a breeze that had already iced the glass. Two weeks were all I needed, and I would have access to Solaron’s main network. For obvious reasons, I won’t be disclosing which campus I was targeting, but this was one of the corporation’s axis mundis, they wouldn’t emerge from this unscathed. I had penetrated past their obvious traps, the easy to exploit honeynet, the dummy servers and faux communications. Their DDoS protection was top tier, but I had already obtained one employee’s hashed password. The digest took my code a few hours to crack, in which time I had been working on my resume.

How to Feel Safe at Night
It is late, some would even call it early. You are alone, en route from your location to your mode of transportation, whether it be your car, the bus or subway, or even a taxi or rideshare; or, you live close enough to head directly home. The streets are empty, for the most part, save for the few straggling patrons spilling out the closing bars and perhaps a few houseless travelers, dozing on the sidewalks. It's dark. The streetlights offer little but a yellow haze directly below, leaving the rest of the street enveloped in an inky and mysterious blackness. You know this route like the back of your hand. You have traveled it every day for months or even years. You know which lights to cross at, where there are imperfections in the sidewalk to avoid and even the scents wafting from the various restaurants and cafes by heart. For some of us, this scenario is immediately familiar, a snapshot of our daily lives. The question is: when you put yourself in the situation and become the person it describes, how do you feel? Do you feel content? Rushed? Are you at ease with your surroundings? Or are you like 61% of the population? Are you afraid?

Nigeria’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami has been in the saddle for over 5 years.
The common saying that “uneasy lies the head that wear the crown” seems to be the lot of Nigeria’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami. A man with a cultured disposition and one that is not enamored by the attractions of high office, Mr. Malami, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria has been in the saddle for over 5 years, but his fight against corruption in public offices has recently earned him the wrath of some jittery kleptomaniacs who see Government as an avenue for self-enrichment rather than a tool for the public good.

Surviving Life; More Than Trafficking
Chapter 1–Common Threads–Bad Dreams My name could have been any number of beautiful girl names. My life could have been filled with ballet classes and dolls and tea parties. Many parents dream that this will be true for their children. But millions of children don't have the memories, and the safety of a tranquil lake of life.
