		<description><![CDATA[M .Weeks got one more fo you !

 Earlier this evening, I  went out to washed my car and got bit three times on my  legs by some  very hungry mosquotoes.

  These things do not take prisoners. 

 You can run but you can not hide.

 Two hours later, after the sun  had  set  I had to retrieve my cell  phone  from my car a got another bite  on  the back  of my left arm.

  These  Insects have night vision  and mostly opperate at night and are all over the island by the millions ? 

 I understand  that they do not function  very well out  in the hot sun.  That is a fact . 

   These  little starving blood sucking  lady  mosquitoes are very determined and  will get you ever through clothing .

 They can also take up residence  inside  peoples clothing and have a feast.

  However i must say   that they  are very comfortable  during the day to hide  out in  peopes garden hedges.

   My tiki  flaming torch,  i an told  is only good for a radius of 6 ft besides  so it could only be use as a close rangre deterent

  We have had alot of rain recently which promotes  breading may i say more than other years. 

  Mosquotoes bite  many times on  little babies . 

Mothers should inspect their children when they cry for no apart reason. 

 Mr weeks  I am thinking that we have  a big problem with mosquitoes  here just now, as we all know they can infect people  with disease.

  Mr. Weeks  please be assured  that  I am not wanting to sport with your feelings here.
 
 Please will you forward this note on  !]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pointing out the obvious from what happened and my experiences with the Government: 

Board members will include:
&quot;The Chief Information Security Officer and the National Disaster Coordinator from within the Ministry of National Security,&quot; - Why? These guys failed to protect the government&#039;s IT systems. 

&quot;The Chief Information Officer in the Department of Information and Digital Technologies,&quot; - Why? This is the guy who failed BIG TIME to protect the government&#039;s IT systems. BIG TIME!!! Did I mention, BIG TIME!!!

&quot;The Head of the Bermuda Public Access to Information/Personal Information Protection Unit,&quot; - Why? This person failed to protect the government&#039;s IT systems. 

&quot;A representative from the Bermuda Police Service,&quot; - Why? BPS failed to push the Government to implement simple prevention measures that reduce the risk of cyber attacks. The BPS cyber unit comes in after the fact. 

&quot;Two private sector cybersecurity advisors&quot; - Why? The last &quot;experts&quot; worked out so well costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. (the RG just published a great investigative piece on the consultants) Why does our  Department of Information and Digital Technologies seem to have ZERO cybersecurity expertise? 

How about FIRING all those who failed us starting with our CIO? Not rewarding them with continued employment and then putting them on a cybersecurity investigative board.

All this could have been avoided if the Government outsourced the Department of Information and Digital Technologies to a reputable firm staffed with IT professionals.]]></description>
