He’s out of ‘quarantine’ and he’s got a new job.
Yay.
FORMER finance minister Charlie McCreevy has been appointed as a director of Dublin-based Bank of New York Mellon Clearing International (BNY Mellon Clearing), a unit of the global banking group.
The appointment comes just months after he was forced to resign as director of a UK bank by an EU ethics committee.
The new appointment is understood to have been made on February 18, just weeks after the end of the 12-month ‘quarantine’ period when the former EU Commissioner was blocked from taking up private-sector jobs that could entail a conflict of interests with his former role.

Thirty years ago this week, John Hinckley attempted to assassinate the then US President, Ronald Reagan:
…on March 30th of 1981, 25-year-old John Hinckley wrote the following letter to actress Jodie Foster. In it, Hinckley — a man so obsessed with Foster as a result of her role in Taxi Driver that he had previously followed her to Yale University; enrolled in a class; and proceeded to stalk her — made clear his immediate plan: to kill U.S. President Ronald Reagan in a bid to somehow win her affections.

True to his word, later that day Hinckley fired 6 times at Ronald Reagan outside the Washington Hilton Hotel; four people, including Reagan, were injured. At trial the next year, Hinckley was found not guilty by reasons of insanity.

360Cities has created a humungous 40 gigapixel interior panorama of the gorgeous 18th century Strahov library in the Czech Republic, composed of 3000 hi-res images stitched seamlessly together. They claim it’s the largest indoor image ever photographed.
It’s properly gob-smacking. You can read the title of virtually every book.
