Hi! I'm Skrintch. My name is Valerii. I'm Ukrаinian аrtist who pаint colоurful pеt pоrtraits. Me and my 2y.o. daughter lоst our home near Kyіv when the wаr was started. We tried walked from Bucha through the Zhytomyr highway. We didn't have a cаr and were forcеd to walk. Three weeks we hid in the basements of random houses because the Russіan trоops were advinсing. They shot civilians right on the streets and in cars. I told about us in the Internet and caring people helped us find a person who will take us out by his car. Entry from other regions was closed, it was only possible to leave. It was very dangerous because the car could be shot. Military equipment and soldiers rode everywhere. Thank God and caring people they found a person who was ready to sacrifice himself to save us. People collected some donations for us and we were able to pay for temporary housing in another town. Finally we were able to wash, eat and sleep. There is no work here, but I try to earn some money for food. I'm also very grateful to everyone who helped save our lives and other Ukrainians in these difficult times. To thank I pаint and send colоurful pet pоrtraits from photos to people from around the world! I'm sure in a few years these paintings will have a very great historical value. It will be something as artifacts from WWII for now, because it's not just art. It's wartime art. Each owner of the portrait will remember that he helped save a life and will know exactly who! A portrait will not only please the eye, but will always remind for a wonderful deed! I add some Ukrainian symbols to each portrait like post stamp marks with warship, stickers and small Ukrainian flags signed by me. So, if someone want to get a portrait you are welcome! You can ask and I'll paint & send a portraits to you or to your friends! Portraits which on this photo have already finished and sent! Usually I paint animals but I can pаint people too. Аrt makes my daughter happy and distracts from the constant howl of an аir аlarm sirеn when misilеs and kаmikaze drоnes fly over us. She thinks we are just walking for a long time and keeps asking when we will be back home because she doesn't understand that we have nowherе else to rеturn... I hope one day we will have housing again because I really want a happy future for her. Just a father who tries to save his little daughter so that the fire in her eyes doesn't go out. ASK OR TELL ME ANYTHING

I am John Rose, a US Senate candidate in California's jungle primary advocating for campaign finance reform. My focus is on clarifying the Constitutional Rights of natural persons versus corporations and artificial entities to allow reasonable regulation of campaign finances. AMA!
In the Citizens United case 2010 the Supreme Court ruled that limiting “independent political spending” from corporations and other groups violates the First Amendment right to free speech. The justices who voted with the majority assumed that independent spending cannot be corrupt and that the spending would be transparent, but both assumptions have proven to be incorrect.
I'm the only candidate who stood up for American workers personally opposing offshoring and winning a Labor Board case.
I am a New Products Introduction Planner with a background in systems engineering and change management. I graduated from San Jose State University with a Fine Arts and Humanities degree before joining multinational high tech corporations like Fairchild Instruments (Schlumberger Automated Test Equipment) and Hewlett Packard (Agilent Technologies).

Bloomberg reporters Hannah Miller, Annie Massa and Max Chafkin spent months going deep inside the world of Sam Bankman-Fried and his crypto exchange FTX for their podcast series Spellcaster. The show, produced by Bloomberg and Wondery, explores how a nerdy gamer became a billionaire and then an alleged criminal by the time he was 30.
We spent months dissecting the rise of SBF, FTX and his trading firm Alameda Research, interviewing people in his inner circle including Caroline Ellison and reporting on what it all means for the future of crypto.
You can listen to the full series here, and be sure to follow our coverage when Bankman-Fried goes to trial, which is scheduled for October. What do you want to know? Ask in our AMA.

EDIT: This AMA is now complete. Thank you to everyone who posted such interesting and thoughtful questions.
Here’s the story for Bloomberg Opinion: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2023-opinion-arctic-geopolitics-resources/oil-gas.html

I’m Liam Denning, a columnist with Bloomberg Opinion who recently flew all the way to Alaska's North Slope to see how and why oil producers are drilling in one of the remotest, and harshest, spots on the planet.
Alaska is home to the single biggest oilfield ever discovered in the US, Prudhoe Bay. But producing oil in the Arctic comes with formidable costs and risks. You have to build the very ground you work on and construct ice roads every winter, when temperatures dip to -60F and darkness descends for 56 days straight.
If something breaks, you had better know how to fix it because help is very far away.
Recent approval of the controversial Willow project promises something of a revival in Alaskan oil production. Coming amid mounting impacts from climate change and the repercussions of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Alaska's future as an energy producer is shaped by the tension between decarbonization and energy security.
I’m writing a series of on-the-ground features about the changing Arctic, and this is part 2.
