The Left's true agenda revealed: Satanic human sacrifice on an industrial scale and the complete decimation of whites, conservatives, Christians and Western values
|(Natural News) I noticed some years ago that most people on the left fall into one or both of two categories. There are those I call "professional offended people," meaning that being offended is pretty much the life's work of such people. If a school teacher inadvertently so much as mentions God, or dares to pray…

How to identify Tuna
Hello Forum
I work in a Sushi restaurant and we get different kinds of tuna.
Is it possible to recognize tuna without seeing the whole body?
I am uploading a picture here which looks like Big Eye Tuna from my experience.
Thank you for reading out. Looking forward for tips and suggestion. Good Weekend

Certain tuna
Sat, 2018-04-14 09:13
Can be picked from the colour of the flesh like Mac tuna but you should be getting high end fish fillets . Very hard to differentiate between longtail tuna, bigeye, and even yellowfin without seeing the skin side of the fillet and even then big eye can be hard to pick without seeing the long sickles on a yellowfin.
Anybody can learn anything;Some of us just need more time than others do!
Bigeye vs YFT...
Sat, 2018-04-14 10:24
...the easiest and most accurate way of telling these two apart IS through differences in the flesh. Most Yellowfin do not have the sickles, and are very difficult to externally separate from bigeye.
At one point or another in my life, I've caught, filleted, cooked, and eaten (or attempted to eat, lol) yft, sbt, albacore, and stripeys, but only albacore (white flesh) and stripeys (beetroot flesh) really stood out as being different.

Myth: The "loosest" slot machines are located at (insert location here).
Busted! This is one myth that is so inherently widespread among slot players. Yet there seems to be no consensus on exactly where the loosest (i.e. those that are more likely to pay out more) machines are. Some say that the ones near the aisle and where there are lots of traffic are loose, while some swear on the machines placed inside quiet corners.
Why can't people agree on any one place? Simple, it's because no one has ever proven a direct correlation between a machine's location and its rate of payout.
Myth: Using a player card allows the casino to know about my winnings and report it to the IRS.
Confirmed! A casino will always report player winnings. Win/loss statements are necessary information that casinos need to track of for tax purposes. It's up to you, whether you want to use your player card or not. But if you want to score comps and freebies while you're playing, always use your player card.
Myth: I don't want to use my player card since the machine will pay out less.
Busted! There is no rational connection between your player card and the mechanism that determines whether you won a jackpot or not. Like what was mentioned above, always use your player card so you can earn points on it.
Myth: Using cold or hot coins will increase my chances on hitting something.
Busted! This practice is one of those old-timey slots superstitions. There is no temperature sensor inside a slot machine's coin slot. It has no way of telling whether you've inserted a cold or hot coin, so the temperature of the coin has no bearing whatsoever on your odds.
Myth: Avoid machines that have recently paid out. It will take a long time before it can pay out again since it will have to recoup its losses first.
Busted! Due to the RNG (Random Number Generator) system that modern slot machines use, each spin is basically equal when it comes to winning chances. It is not impossible for you to win another jackpot right after winning a first one. Every spin is independent and has no bearing on future spins; your chances will always remain the same regardless on when the last jackpot was hit.
Myth: I better be nice to everybody since the casino management can tighten or loosen slot machines remotely with just a simple click of a button.
Plausible! There is an experimental type of slot machines called "server-based" slots, wherein the odds can be altered with remotely. Don't worry though, these type of machines are rare and it is unlikely to be adopted by most casinos soon. And even if casino admins have this kind of power over their machines, they are still regulated by laws that prevent them from making alterations to the machine's system while a player is still using it. In Nevada for example, machines can be tampered with remotely only if it has been sitting idle for four minutes.

The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories
Ann and Jeff VanderMeer, editors
Tor Books
Trade Paper, 1152 pages, $29.99
Review by Sheila M. Merritt
Too much of a good thing; we've all been there. The favorite Halloween candy that we stash away from the kids, hoping that after a certain hour it will be ours and ours alone. And then consume it way too fast. Those lengthy nocturnal fantasies about Alan Rickman: Yeah, oh yeah. Regarding the much too good volume entitled The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories, we so don't deserve it. It demands to be savored, but horror readers are a greedy bunch and tend to devour quickly. Which is a shame, since the tome sits warmly on the lap, whether opened or closed. Contained in the voluminous collection are tales from well-known writers. To list them all would take up a great deal of space. Suffice to say, some of the names will ring a genre fancier's bell: Gaiman, King, Kafka, du Maurier, Lovecraft, Blackwood, Leiber, Bradbury, Jackson, Bloch, Aickman, Campbell … you get the drift. The beauty of the tome is that, in it's over 1000 pages, authors who didn't/haven't reached that magnitude of fame still get to strut their stuff. This review will focus on those writers' works, one from each era represented in the book. Therefore, in chronological order:
From 1913, comes the amazing "The Dissection." Point of view animates the yarn. Doctors dissecting a corpse aren't concerned with the body prior to death: "From their white cabinets they took out dissecting instruments, white crates full of hammers, saws with sharp teeth, files, needles like vultures' crooked beaks forever screaming for flesh." The man who has died, however, maintains memories. He recalls the woman he loved: "The decay pulled apart the mouth of the dead man. He seemed to smile. He dreamed of beatific stars, of a fragrant summer evening. His rotting lips trembled as though under a brief kiss." The disparity between the clinical and sentimental is superbly rendered.
"The Dissection" was written by Georg Heym, and the translation from German by Gio Clairval is commended by editors Ann and Jeff VanderMeer. Also of note in the story's introduction is "Master of the weird Thomas Ligotti has called it one of his favorite tales." This is high praise, indeed.
In 1921, Stefan Grabinski's "The White Wryak" was published. Some critics called Grabinski the "Polish Poe" or the "Polish Lovecraft." Certainly, looking at the story in this anthology, it can be said that he felt at ease with weird fiction. The bizarre entity that he concocted is highly memorable: "The creature – part monkey, part large frog – was holding in his front claws what seemed like a human arm, which hung limply from a corpse, vaguely outlined in a twisted shape next to a neighboring wall."
H.P. Lovecraft's name is again brought up, in a different context, in "Far Below." Published in 1939, and written by Robert Barbour Johnson, Lovecraft's work is mentioned by a character in the yarn as having historical truths and verisimilitude. Creatures are lurking in a stretch of the New York City subway system; a secret that is kept from the citizens of the metropolis. Claustrophobic and conspiracy oriented, "Far Below" does definitely have a Lovecraftian vibe.
Culturally and stylistically far different is 1949's "A Child in the Bush of Ghosts." The author, Olympe Bhêly-Quénum, moved from Africa to France in the late 1940s. He still resides there today. The surreal ghost story included in this text is set in the writer's native land. It is splendidly ambiguous and atmospheric.
Also surreal is the allegorical "A Woman Seldom Found." Ostensibly a romance set in Rome, William Sansom's tale is a take on the nerd meets the girl of his dreams theme. Of course, she turns out to be the stuff of nightmares. First published in 1956, a time that prided itself on a rather contrived innocence, the intimacy between the guy and gal leads to a shocking climax. What the woman of the title represents can be interpreted in many ways, but going for the Freudian is simplest.
A contribution from French fantasist Claude Seignolle doesn't obviously reflect reference to its period (1967.) In "The Ghoulbird," Seignolle plays with residual folklore and superstition. The fearsome fowl is eloquently described: "Its appearance was not at first frightening, and it could look like any common bird, but shifted continuously from one species to the next to fool its victims. In its call, an additional note rang out…a bit strident. It was the Ghoulbird's curse…To listen to it was to lose one's will to the bird and forever be the creature's slave."
In an interesting twist at the end, the first person narrator discovers that fear can cloak reality; creating misunderstanding. "My Mother" also delves a bit into perception and interpretation, but the 1978 tale is primarily about change and adaptation to it. The story's scribe, Jamaica Kincaid, is a Caribbean writer who dwells in The United States. Incorporating nurturing females into a socio-political fantasy, Kincaid nicely fuses the elements.
Nigerian Ben Okri's offering from 1988 is what the VanderMeers refer to as "a form of 'African magic realism.'" "Worlds That Flourish" could also be construed as possibly being influenced by Kafka's novel The Trial. In both pieces, the respective cultures oppose an individual; making the protagonist at odds with his society. Persecution, delirium, and resignation are effectively rendered in this passage: "The rice seemed to move on the plate like several like several white maggots. I could have sworn it was covered in spider's webs. But it tasted sweet and was satisfying. The cup from which I was supposed to drink bled on the outside."
The award for most-tender-yet-whimsical narrative goes to "Last Rites and Resurrections" by Martin Simpson. After the death of his young son, a man becomes obsessed by the roadkill he sees on his drives. Getting out of the car to get a closer look at a dead basset hound, the guy discovers that he can hear the canine's last thoughts. He takes the dog back to his property for burial. Over the course of the story, many critters share their final musings with the fellow, and he provides them with his version of a pet cemetery. The articulate animals speak English, but with patterns unique to their species: "Some animals sound like you would expect them to sound, if you expected them to talk: dead dogs speak quickly and with tangled syntax that often produces circular sentences, while deceased cats are slower and more careful, measuring out the meticulous pronunciations of a Latin teacher. Squirrels communicate in staccato snippets that sound vaguely like Vietnamese to my ears. The posthumous speech of two other species I also associate with foreign language accents: the wry humor of armadillos comes wrapped in the harsh back-of-the-throat consonants of German, while clever raccoons trade in the nasal delicacy of French."
Simpson's 1994 delight is touching and funny and dear. The author manages to convey extraordinary depth of feeling while employing seemingly matter of fact prose. Much edgier and darker is "The Hide" by Liz Williams. Sibling jealousy is metaphorically explored in this strange 2007 dark fantasy. Suppressed emotions surge during the benign act of birdwatching. While venturing a bit into the terrain of du Maurier's novelette "The Birds," the events that transpire in Williams' universe are much smaller and specific in scope. Tidy in structure and containing just the right amount of odd to be quietly disturbing, "The Hide" is a marvelously titled piece.
The Weird is a book that is chock full of goodies. And editors Ann and Jeff VanderMeer deserve special praise, not only for the excellent selection of the 110 stories, but also for their acknowledgement of the translators of material not initially printed in English. Giving those diligent language interpreters a well deserved shout out is positively classy. How best to appreciate this wonderfully large volume is a matter of personal choice. It can be slowly absorbed in increments, or hastily read in a fervent horror fiction marathon blowout. Either way, the time spent will prove extremely gratifying.
[Editor's Note:] Sheila Merritt has been with Hellnotes almost since the day of its birth. She's contributed over 250 book reviews, author interviews, convention reports, and more. She's worked tirelessly and made Hellnotes better for her efforts. Now, she's stepping back to enjoy all the other passions of her life. I want to personally and public thank her for sharing her talents, knowledge and enthusiasm with Hellnotes. Thank you, Sheila!

I've got quite a few that are falling apart from overuse. Joe Porcaro's Drumset Method is the most disintegrated of them; it's where I developed my hand technique back in the day.
Aaron Edgar
Modern Jazz Drumming by William F. Ludwig. The book enforces sticking and posture while providing an understanding of the musical implication of each technique. This structure has benefitted my playing by exercising my ability to immediately utilize newly learned techniques in compositional and improvisational settings. The exercises within can be applied in genres far beyond jazz.
Nat Park
Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice. It was the first drumset book that taught me the importance of keeping a solid groove and foundation that would work in real-world applications with other musicians.
Dylan Lloyd
Charley Wilcoxon's The All-American Drummer: 150 Rudimental Solos. I didn't do marching band or drum corps, so this book helped me to develop a working command of all the rudiments.
Tyler Walton
Stick Control has been my most valuable and consistently used practice book, especially in my early years. I mainly used it as a framework for disciplined practice, and my teachers showed me how to move the exercises around the kit. I still have the original book after about forty years.
Joey Carson
Ted Reed's Syncopation. It's limitless in how it could be applied, and each page could be as hard or as easy as you decide it to be.
Israel Reyes
Exploring Your Creativity on the Drumset by Mark Guiliana. I bought a second copy so I can still practice with it, because his concepts are simple to understand but take so much time to master. It's helped me get more space into my playing and made me try to feel the music rather than thinking about it.
Charlélie Fusillier
Future Sounds by David Garibaldi opened my world to the possibilities of rudiments, and I'm amazed by how he applied so many hand and foot patterns with just the kick, snare, and hi-hats.
Nhoj Asperin
My most worn book is Wilcoxon's The All-American Drummer. The cover fell off years ago, and I've lost the outer few pages too. It was a requirement in college, and I continue to use it with my students today because of the sheer volume of practice material and the way it puts rudiments into a flowing musical context. Before Wilcoxon, the rudiments were difficult for me to contextualize. Those solos really allowed me to see their potential.
Ryan Alexander Bloom
I'm on my third copy of Syncopation, and I still have my original. I own about fifty books, but I still come back to this one with yet another way to play the patterns. It's timeless.

I've worn out multiple copies of Stick Control, Master Studies, David Garibaldi's Future Sounds, and Ari Hoenig's Systems: Drumming Technique and Melodic Jazz Independence.
Stick Control taught me how to be disciplined and diligent about working on my hand technique in a concentrated manner. Future Sounds taught me permutation, how to create interstellar linear grooves, and to think of each limb as an individual voice while being part of a melodic whole. Master Studies taught me how to further the concept of technique while adding new melodic concepts into the mix. And Systems taught me how to take my four-limb swing coordination to another level, as well as how to practice the rudiments in a melodic fashion.

Syncopation. There are many ways to interpret the exercises on the drumset, such as in jazz and Latin rhythms, drum fills, and more. It's an all-purpose must-have.

It is dismaying how much of a cottage industry the demonization of Islam has become in the skewed post-barbaric inside job of 9/11 world….There's hardly any doubt that some of the purveyors of these screeds actually believe what they are saying, but it is equally sure that there are many who simply see opportunities to find a new universal enemy to replace the late-lamented Soviet Union. It is sad that there is such a vacuum in our understanding that we could allow such people to have access to important institutions of military pedagogy. If we are going to teach our staff officers anything, we should hope we can teach them to turn a critical eye to such anti-intellectual crap. Declaring war on 1.4 Billion Muslims seems to violate the principle of conservation of enemies….
by Stephen Lendman
When asked why he robbed banks, Willie Sutton said that's where the money is. Washington targets the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia because it's where most proved oil and gas reserves are.
Waging war requires enemies. Pretexts create them. Muslims are demonized as threats. They're portrayed as culturally inferior, dirty, lecherous, untrustworthy, religiously fanatical, and violent. Slanderous media commentaries suggest gun-totting terrorists threatening US interests. Fear is heightened. Strategically timed false flag terror plots make headlines. So do arrests of entrapped Muslims despite no evidence of crime or intent to commit one. Americans are manipulated to believe domestic and foreign jihadists threaten national security. Resource wars follow. Enemies are dehumanized. Military training creates Groupthink. Recruits are manipulated to hate. Indoctrination involves sensitizing them to become effective combat killing machines.
On May 10, wired.com contributors Noah Shachtman and Spencer Ackerman headlined "US Military Taught Officers: Use 'Hiroshima' Tactics for 'Total War' on Islam," saying:
Total war is taught to protect America from Islamic terrorists. Options include destroying an entire "civilian population wherever necessary. The Norfolk, VA-based Joint Forces Staff College taught "Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism." High-ranking officers were instructed to believe "Islam had already declared war on the West."
A wired.com Danger Room investigation revealed it. Damage control followed. Lt. General George Flynn in charge of training and education said: "It was inflammatory….(T)hat's really not what we're talking about. That is not how we view this situation or the challenges we have in the world today."
The White House ordered counterterrorism training content reviewed. The "Perspectives" course was taught since 2004. It "not only evaded review, but had defenders in the Joint Forces Staff College (who) taught it." Lecturer Stephen Coughlin taught that "Islamic law is a danger to US national security." College spokesman Steven Williams said around 90% of students considered course content "mostly positive."
After revisions were made last year, some officers objected to offensive material. According to Flynn: "We looked at it and we found the material to be objectionable and we started digging into it to see, how did the course get this way?"
Possibly, we did not follow the procedures we should have followed in academically approving the course, but that'll be formally determined when we complete the inquiry into this."
Course content allegedly had to follow "White House-approved guidelines issued by the Department of Homeland Security to prevent anti-Islam material from being taught by the US government." Flynn said "whatever action is warranted" will be done to assure compliance.
On May 10, Joint Chiefs Chairman General Martin Dempsey said instructor Lt. Colonel Matthew A. Dooley remains on Norfolk's staff but is "no longer in a teaching status." He taught content about waging total war on Muslim civilians "wherever necessary." He likened it to firebombing Dresden and Hiroshima/Nagasaki destruction. Other course lecturers encouraged students "to think of themselves as a 'resistance movement' to Islam."
Demsey and Flynn "pulled the plug on the course last month." An investigation began. Major General Frederick Rudesheim heads it. "Final judgment" awaits his findings.
"The military is hardly alone in dealing with anti-Islam instructional material passing itself off as responsible counterterrorism." "Over the years, hundreds of documents claiming 'mainstream' Muslims are 'violent' have made their way into FBI curricula, alongside internal claims that agents working on counterterrorism cases could 'bend or suspend the law.' "
The Bureau teaches agents that "mainstream" Muslims are "violent," that Islam "ma(kes) its followers want to commit 'genocide,' " and an "FBI intelligence analyst compared Islam to the Death Star from Star Wars."
An internal investigation followed. Conclusions weren't revealed. Allegedly this type content was removed from course content. It compared the "Arab World" to the "Western Mind."
It said Westerners were even-tempered. Emotional outbursts were "exceptional." Arab "Outburst(s) and Loss of Control (are) Expected."
Post-9/11, Muslims have been systematically targeted. In 2011, a New York University School of Law Center for Human Rights and Global Justice (CHR&GJ) report titled "Targeted and Entrapped: Manufacturing the 'Homegrown Threat' in the United States" explained Muslim persecution in detail. Ruthless targeting entraps them. Paid informants infest mosques and communities. Many dozens are pursued on bogus charges. Invented plots are foiled in the nick of time. Media scoundrels headline them to heighten fear.
Muslims are portrayed as "potential threats" or "homegrown terrorists." Federal, state and local law enforcement officials consider them more likely to become terrorists, easily radicalized, and compelled to commit violence in the name of Islam.
Counterterrorism policies mandate identifying and stopping them before they act.
Research, of course, contradicts these notions. Claiming Muslims "hate us" is spurious. Nonetheless, their cultural and religious practices are cited as indicators of potential terrorism. As a result, they're maliciously persecuted for political advantage.
Obama's Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FBI, and Justice Department (DOJ) embrace racist radicalization notions. They're used as justification to entrap innocent victims with "preventive" policing despite no evidence of wrongdoing.
Instead of pursuing real criminals, they target people for their faith, religious practices, ethnicity, national origin, political views, or appearance. Lawless tactics entrap them. They include paid informants, surveillance, and inducing, influencing, or provoking potential or actual crimes that otherwise wouldn't have been committed.
FBI Domestic Investigative Operational Guidelines (DIOGs) are bent without supervisory approval or constraints to permit virtually anything.
The 2003 Department of Justice (DOJ) Guidance Regarding the Use of Race by Federal Law Enforcement Agencies bans racial and ethnic profiling. Nonetheless, it implicitly permits doing so for faith and national origin purposes. It also allows targeting anyone for national and border security related issues.
Post-9/11, entrapment and other abuses became policy. They remain so. No link whatever connects religion, ethnicity, national origin, or political views to a propensity to commit violence. However, most convictions result from bogusly conflating them as proof of intent or predisposition. As a result, innocent victims rot in America's gulag. Justice is systematically denied. In an environment of hate and fear, no one is safe. Most of all, Muslims are public enemy number one.
Pentagon damage control casts a veil over policy. Joint Forces Staff College course content changes (whether or not implemented) obscure the greater problem. Vilifying enemies is longstanding. Military training features dehumanization. Anti-Japanese WW II epithets and images were grotesque.
North Koreans were called "gooks" and "zipperheads." Vietnamese were also "gooks," as well as "dinks" and "slopes." Arabs are called "ragheads" and "sand niggers." Native Americans were called plundering, murdering savages. Common epithets today marginalize Blacks and Latinos.
Dehumanization facilitates warmaking. It also desensitizes law enforcement agents to target Muslims and other designated state enemies. Doing the wrong thing works best when Groupthink becomes policy.

The 2017 Wedding
My nephew's wedding at an apple orchard last year was a wonderful three day event, the ceremony being just brilliant. I have sent the Youtube link to some of you. The Youtube video, no wonder the videographer cost so much, is tightly edited with a great soundtrack. Mother and Step Mother briefly appear side by side. I and R ended up on the cutting room floor. If you are a blogmate and would like to see the lovely wedding squeezed into a few minutes, I can send you the link. Email andrewhighriser at gmail dot com.

At StratoZen, our services have everything to do with SIEM solutions, and in order to give our clients the best SIEM solution, we rely on Fortinet's FortiSIEM. The reason we choose Fortinet is not complicated, they simply provide the most reliable SIEM thanks to their simplicity, customizability and accuracy.
To be more specific, the three key aspects that sets Fortinet apart from all other SIEM providers is their multi-tenancy functionality, brand ability and CMDB.
- Multi-Tenancy Functionality — FortiSIEM gives us the ability to monitor activity much easier than other SIEMs. With FortiSIEM we can take a look at ALL of our clients' data from one location, simplifying the reading process significantly.
- Brandability — Our clients are able to white-label the solution and brand it as their own. This means that while we are working behind the scenes for MSPs, when they sell our services to another company, they transform into MSSPs and give their clients direct feedback from us without the company ever knowing that we exist.
- CMDB (Configuration Management Database) — FortiSIEM allows us to import the configurations of a server or device — not just security logs. In other words, we are EXTREMELY accurate with our alerts and notifications, to the point that there are near zero false positives — something that is unique to Fortinet's FortiSIEM and no other SIEM.
While other SIEMs log a lot of security activity, there is no other that can give you this much accurate information this easily. Not mentioned in the three benefits above is the customization that FortiSIEM is able to provide to its users. However, that is something that takes the work of specialists to manage. Nonetheless, what Fortinet offers is unlike any other, and when you have a competent SIEM cybersecurity company working on your side, you get even more out of FortiSIEM.
We've already highlighted what Fortinet can do for a cybersecurity company like our own, but more can be said about what we can do when we team up our services with FortiSIEM.
As we mentioned before, MSPs are able to use our services and white-label the solution for their clients. If you are unsure what that means, essentially, we are able to manage the SIEM for a remote location and analyze the data/activity away from the client's actual environment. We can do this by deploying FortiSIEM in the cloud and gaining access to the information from anywhere. From there, our team of expert cybersecurity specialists will provide accurate notifications and solutions that MSPs can then use.
In addition, we here at StratoZen are able to take FortiSIEM's wonderful security fabric (or features) and tailor it to any environment, business process, or other need of an enterprise. Whether a company sells clothing or focuses on financial banking, we go through every last detail in order to personalize the SIEM solution to be aware of specific threats based on the company. This kind of customization involves hundreds of different rules that cover everything from what kind of industry the company is in, to how many times a user can try to log into a network before the system locks the user out. Other SIEMs only give you about 20-30 rules and they are not customizable, but with FortiSIEM and our expertise, we can create hundreds of rules to detect all activity for any company. The more we are able to add customized rules, the less likely companies are to see false positives.
Hosting the SIEM in the cloud and customizing rules may be two SIEM-related capabilities that are unmatched by most others, but it is not all that we do for our clients. The multi-tenency capability that stitches all the data together gives us the ability to provide our clients with services such as SIEMaaS, SOCaaS, Endpoint & Data Protection from the cloud, and more. Beyond FortiSIEM, we give clients access to our SWAT feed — an active threat feed that uses our honeypot sensors set up around the world — providing StratoZen the most up-to-date threat readings.
We understand that many enterprises think that SIEMs are too difficult, SOCs are too expensive, and keeping up with compliance is a serious pain, however, with FortiSIEM and StratoZen acting as the service provider, we are able to overcome all of these concerns. Instead of a company having to deal with purchasing new hardware, software, or hiring new personnel, they can rely on us fully. We understand FortiSIEM better than anyone else and can walk any company through any challenge. If that weren't true, Fortinet would not have personally turned to us to manage their own personal network for them.
Fortinet is not just a big cybersecurity company name, but a trustworthy company that gives you industry-leading products. The combined services of Fortinet and StratoZen is truly groundbreaking. If you are in need of SIEM solutions, contact us. You won't find anyone better.

Twitter's stock collapsed on October 14 — at one point falling over 8 percent — after potential suitor Salesforce withdrew its interest following the release of a "Teen Survey" that found virtually no interest in the Twitter brand by youth.
Although CEO Marc Benioff signaled strong interest in Twitter, Inc. (NYSE:TWTR) as an "unpolished jewel" on October 5, institutional shareholders and Wall Street analysts savaged the idea and sent Salesforce's stock plunging the next day by over 6 percent.
But it may have been the results of Piper Jeffray's newest "Teen Survey" that found virtually no interest in the Twitter brand among the youth demographic that advertisers most want to engage that caused Benioff to drop out his bid and comment, "It wasn't the right fit for us."
Twice a year since 2001, Piper Jeffray has surveyed more than 140,000 teens to collect over 37 million data points on teen "spending in fashion, beauty and personal care, digital media, food, gaming and entertainment." The stated goal is to "get a better feel for what young people like, ranging from favorite handbag brands to top restaurants and (importantly for Eye on Tech) their favorite social media platforms."
Snapchat garnered what Madison Avenue brand specialists refer to as the "Iron Throne" — a teen's top preference — with 35 percent of the vote. That were followed by Facebook's (NASDAQ:FB) Instagram division, which lost the crown this spring, but still saw a slight gain to a 24 percent preference of teens.
It appears that social media engagement is up at Instagram, because it specifically copied some of Snapchat's biggest features. But Facebook engagement preference among teens fell to single digits and Twitter was virtually nonexistent in the survey.
Other notables results of the Teen Survey found that Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) website topped the list of favorite shopping sites with a 40 percent vote, followed by Nike (NYSE:NKE) with 8 percent. Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) took the top spot for consuming video with a "whopping" 37 percent preference, but Google's YouTube also passed cable TV to take the number 2 spot in teen preference.
The demise of Twitter appears to have been largely self-inflicted. Breitbart News reported extensively on the mid-June 2015 Twitter board room coup d'état by ultra-liberal and big Barack Obama campaign "bundler" Chris Sacca, who orchestrated booting CEO Dick Costolo. At the time, Twitter was the #3 most popular social media site, with a 316 million monthly-active-user (MAU) base and rapid growth, trailing only Facebook and Instagram.
Costolo was deeply loved by Twitter and its employees, and had a social media community reputation for not muzzling conservative thought, despite being headquartered in the "People's Republic of San Francisco." Costolo's "Abusive Behavior Policy" was considered the fairness-in-social-media gold standard:
Users are allowed to post content, including potentially inflammatory content, provided they do not violate the Twitter Rules and Terms of Service. Twitter does not screen content and does not remove potentially offensive content unless such content is in violation of the Twitter Rules and Terms of Service.
But in the 16 months since Costolo was ousted and Twitter has knuckled under to the leftists' Thought Police, Twitter's MAU has flat-lined at 313 million and the company has tanked to the #9 most rated social media website. The company has been passed by Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, QQ, We Chat, QZone, and Tumbler. Twitter is now also on the verge of being eclipsed by Baidu Tieba, Skype and Sina Weibo.
Twitter's stock is down by over 52 percent in the 16 months since Costolo left, and that is after bouncing up on speculation that the company buy-out would foster a bidding war. With the lack of teen engagement explaining why big companies like Google and Disney have lost interest in bidding on Twitter, the unprofitable company could have a tough time surviving on its own.

- Japan has reportedly reached out to North Korea for a summit meeting.
- Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is believed to have wanted to discuss the issue of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korean agents decades ago.
- North Korea hopes to get $20 billion to $50 billion in aid from Japan if it normalizes relations, according to one report.
Japan has sounded out the North Korean government about a bilateral summit, and Pyongyang has discussed the possibility of a leaders' meeting with Japan, Japan's Asahi newspaper said on Thursday.
The government of Kim Jong Un has informed leaders of North Korea's ruling Korean Workers Party of the possibility of a summit with Japan, the newspaper said, citing an unidentified North Korean source and briefing papers.
"The Japanese government has expressed a wish to host a leaders meeting, via the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan," or Chongryong, Pyongyang's de facto embassy in Japan, the Asahi quoted the briefing papers as saying.
A Japanese government source told Reuters in mid-March that Japan was considering seeking a summit between Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Kim to discuss Japanese citizens abducted by North Korean agents decades ago.
The Asahi said in an article from Seoul that Kim's government had explained its bilateral diplomatic plans for South Korea, the United States, China, Japan and Russia, in that order.
Kim met President Xi Jinping in China this week, his first trip abroad as North Korean leader. Summits with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Donald Trump are being planned for April and May, respectively.
The North Korean briefing papers cite the possibility of a Japan summit in early June, the Asahi said.
Japan's Foreign Minister Taro Kono left open the possibility that Abe might meet Kim at some point. Kono said in an interview with Reuters on Tuesday Japan was closely watching preparations for the North-South Korean summit and the Trump-Kim meeting.
The Asahi quoted another unidentified source as saying North Korea's "dialogue partner on security issues is America" but that the country "can only hope for large-scale financial assistance from Japan."
North Korea hopes to get $20 billion to $50 billion in aid from Japan if it normalizes relations, the newspaper said. But it said the briefing papers offered no specifics about steps to normalize bilateral relations, as agreed in 2002.
Those steps include resolving the abductee issue, as well as Pyongyang's missile and nuclear weapons development.

They also have free school supplies and haircuts for the kids. If you wanna see live footage go to our Instagram @HOT1041STL.

The activity associated with development of a software parts library for the development of a web-site will be presented here. This will be an extension of the library used to prepare Programmable Software Development Environment manual.
This effort was started a long time ago following the development of the manual software parts library. Its purpose was to eliminate the need for Front Page. It was subsequently put on hold so that other more important efforts could proceed.
Mr. Mike is a long time professional friend of mine who has recently offered to reconstruct my Web-Site. I told him my plan to use my tool to rebuild my site. He has had difficulties relating to my technology (It is quite different than normal programming methods) and I am not really skilled in Web-site design. We both felt that this might a great opportunity to make the technical connection.
STATUS: Now that the Programmable Software Development Environment error has been corrected, this project will be restarted
DETAIL: A Programmable Software Development Environment system error was encountered while attempting to redefine the CSS software parts library from a set of small software parts libraries. This redefinition process will greatly improve the capability of thoroughly testing the resulting product.
RESULTS: The software parts files containing only the _INCLUDE commands, needed for this redefinition process, are now usable in all software parts library versions (experimental, alpha, beta, and release).
MY NEXT TASK: My next task is to develop a names management and communication library and integrate it into both the CSS and HTML software parts libraries.

On a bed of nails...
Soouuuul Looooooove!
I would have loved TJT30 to be a DVD release for us, and then commercial e+i. e+i never made it to my neck of the woods, but I want to relive TJT, and I'd love to have just the background videos as a special feature. Mothers of the disappeared was so haunting.
U2.com 2018 Subscription FAQ Thread
MacCready replied to bigwave's topic in All About U2I was hoping it would be a Joshua Tree 30 blu-ray. Though a part of me knew that it would be Rattle & Hum related and hoped it would be either an expanded CD or even just the Excerpts EP. Their remixes go one of 2 ways. Ridiculous and extended (I'll Go Crazy... I'm looking at both of yours) or so subtle it's hard to tell what's been changed (Sleep Like a Baby).
What's the word on a DVD for JT17?
MacCready replied to zooclemson's topic in GeneralI hope if/when it comes out, that the 8K videos are special features of their own. It would be nice if extra tracks were songs that didn't make it on most setlists. A Sort of Homecoming, the Sweetest Thing, MLK, and Don't Look Back in Anger (though, they probably wouldn't go through with getting the rights).
New Members Introduction Thread
MacCready replied to bigwave's topic in General ForumHey. Can't really remember when I became a fan of U2. I heard a lot of their stuff growing up, the main 3 singles for Joshua Tree, Beautiful Day and Elevation. I think it might've been while watching a telethon in 2006 and it showed bits from the Vertigo 2005 DVD. Found some of my dad's CD's and kinda listened from there. The next year he bought me U218 Singles and I really loved the music. I've learned With or Without You on guitar, and won a town talent show my first time playing it in front of people I think in 2010. I had just learned the falsetto part for it and when I did it the crowd stood up and applauded. It's one of the songs I play the most at open mic, and my range for it has improved. I finally got to see the band this year in Seattle. I was hoping for Vancouver, but I was locked out in the ticket sales and it didn't have 2 tickets available by the time it let me in. And then it did and the website kept crashing. That was a let down, but I finally decided to check for Seattle tickets and I seen 3 resales available and I paid for 2 of them for me and my dad for his birthday gift, and my dad paid for my brother's to drive us down. It's a night I'll never forget, hearing Bad even though it wasn't played at Vancouver and then the encore with I Will Follow.

Remembrance Day is the one day a year where Canadians will pay homage to our fallen soldiers with ceremonies that remind us how lucky we truly are. Communities join together to thank those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Veterans fought for our freedom, Soldiers are fighting to keep our freedom. Without freedom, life would be very different.
Life without War is a dream we all share. Take a moment to reflect on what you are grateful for. I am grateful for those put their lives at risk for others every single day! Thank you!

Enter your zip code to search used 7-Series Hybrid listings in your area.$18,295 - $19,024
Note: This review was created when the 2012 BMW 7-Series Hybrid was new.
The 2012 BMW 7-Series Hybrid receives praise for its comfortable interior and dynamic performance. Still, the hybrid 7-Series falters with its high price and a drivetrain that needs improvement.
Compared with other hybrid super luxury cars, the 2012 BMW 7-Series Hybrid offers an exceptional amount of power, as well as all the other luxury trappings that drivers expect. BMW calls it the ActiveHybrid 750i, and thanks to its hybrid drivetrain, the 7-Series Hybrid offers more power than V8 rivals like the Porsche Panamera S and Mercedes-Benz S550. At the same time, the 7-Series Hybrid manages slightly better fuel economy ratings than those competitors.
However, new cars like the Mercedes S350 Bluetec and Porsche Panamera S Hybrid use less fuel, and test drivers frequently take issue with the 7-Series Hybrid's high price. "Our least favorite is the ActiveHybrid 7, which combines a 4.4-liter V-8 with an electric motor," says Automobile Magazine in their review of the entire 7-Series line. "It can't match the EPA ratings of the 740i, and yet the hybrid costs some $9000 more than the regular V-8 7-series."
The 7-Series Hybrid isn't just pricey compared with its gas-only siblings -- it's more expensive than rivals like the Panamera Hybrid and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Hybrid, which both deliver better fuel economy, but can't match the 7-Series Hybrid's power.
Inside this hybrid, it's BMW 7-Series business as usual, which is a good thing. Reviewers like the 7-Series Hybrid's spacious, well-equipped interior. Many also note that BMW's iDrive system has gotten much easier to use. Despite its prodigious power, comfortable interior and decent fuel economy, the 7-Series Hybrid's high price may mean that, for many shoppers, there's ultimately a better choice.
If you're looking for a hybrid car with thrilling performance and better fuel economy, consider the Porsche Panamera S Hybrid. It's less powerful than the 7-Series Hybrid, but reviewers agree that the Panamera is just as nimble. Additionally, the Panamera offers a high-quality interior and a lower base price.
The Lexus LS Hybrid might be a good choice if you're looking for a hybrid luxury car with an opulent interior and a comfortable ride. LS and 7-Series hybrids have roughly the same fuel economy ratings, but the 7-Series is more powerful. The LS Hybrid is also more expensive than the 7-Series. However, it also comes with all-wheel drive and a longer list of standard interior features.
The 2012 BMW 7-Series Hybrid comes in two models with different wheelbase lengths: the regular-wheelbase ActiveHybrid 750i and the extended-wheelbase ActiveHybrid 750Li. Both models are powered by a turbocharged V8 engine and a small electric motor. The hybrid powertrain is mated to an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.

We need a fosstodon wiki for common questions.
I see "what email provider" "what server software for selfhosting" (etc) a lot and it would be nice if we could just link to a Wiki.
A wiki would be fantastic for a general overview and comparisons. However, I think there is value in talking with folks about their direct experience using XYZ software/hardware/service, as sometimes there are no clear answers, only personal preference.
@rho Hmm, you're right.
A wiki could be a good starting off point at the very least, so people can ask more specific questions about a specific thing instead of repetitive general questions.
@njha Agree 100%
Fosstodon is an English speaking Mastodon instance that is open to anyone who is interested in technology; particularly free & open source software.

Our children are subjected to many influences that aren't consistent with how we are trying to raise them (see my Mother's Day posting). I believe parents need to take charge of their children's lives and control what they are exposed to. I know this is extremely difficult, especially with older children, but it has to be done.
I heard a talk recently that discussed the kinds of sex and violence that our kids are exposed to that we don't have a clue about. Incredibly violent games. Terrible song lyrics. Magazines aimed for teens that have inappropriate articles on sex and other subjects. Things on the Internet we would rather they not see. Movies that go well beyond scary (I don't even like seeing the ads for them on TV).
No wonder the line between fantasy and reality becomes blurred for some kids. No wonder kids want to have sex at earlier ages – their world is saturated with it. No wonder kids shoot up schools – they have been exposed to so much graphic violence most of their young lives. To many kids, sex and violence are normal, reasonable, and acceptable.
Not only must parents take control of their children's lives, but they should start sending them to Sunday school or CCD. Those are about the only places where your values are reinforced. However, if you do send them to Sunday school or CCD, you should also attend church. If you just drop them off and then do something "more worthwhile"), it tells them that it isn't really important to you. It also won't be important to them, and they will tune it out. Remember, they often follow your example or pick up clues from you.
If you don't believe me that we need to do a better job as parents, just read the article that I read recently (May 22) in the Poughkeepsie Journal. It had to do with five sixth-graders in Saugerties who planned to slit the throat of one of their schoolmates. I don't know all that is behind this planned violent act, but if sixth-graders believe it is OK to slit someone's throat, we have a serious problem.

Leveraging Economic Benefits of the Natural Resources of the Lower Chickahominy River - UVA/IEN Stakeholder Engagement
The five-year strategy developed by the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program establishes a collaborative planning process across three counties to identify and establish an overarching vision for land use and land conservation priorities. The effort supports improved coordination between natural resource agencies, local governments and regional organizations and interests in planning for coastal areas. This approach will build and strengthen relationships and partnerships among multiple stakeholders across the watershed.
Year three of the project involves developing and implementing an expanded outreach and communication strategy to: 1) further define stakeholder interests and issues and 2) to brainstorm potential approaches for maximizing both socio-economic and ecological benefits through new or revised policies and coordinated planning activities. Year three outreach activities will involve stakeholder interviews and focus group sessions. This effort will be supported by Richmond Regional PDC (Task 93.01) with RRPDC facilitating the Lower Chickahominy Steering Committee as a source for identifying stakeholders that will participate in each focus group as well as overall consistency with the larger Section 309 CSI strategy. George Mason University (Task 93.04) will also support the project to specifically provide subject matter expertise for eliciting stakeholder perspective on economic and cost benefit considerations.
IEN is a nationally recognized leader in fostering collaborative change across a broad range of issues through multi-agency and multi-stakeholder processes as well as through community outreach and engagement. Team members are known for their expertise in: designing and facilitating collaborative problem solving processes, consensus building, conflict resolution, and strategic planning; programmatic evaluation; mediation; training in leadership, conflict management and negotiation skills; and working with environmental justice communities. Collectively, Ms. Denckla Cobb and Ms. Talbot bring more than 43 years of experience in mediating and facilitating collaborative planning and public policy deliberations in support of vibrant and sustainable communities.

Select An Industry:
May 18, 2007 Lehigh Valley, Pa.
Air Products today announced its management succession plan. John P. Jones, chairman and chief executive officer, will retire as CEO on October 1, 2007, after 35 years with Air Products, and the Board of Directors has appointed John E. McGlade, currently president and chief operating officer, to succeed Jones as CEO. McGlade also has been elected a director of the company effective immediately. Jones will continue as Chairman of the Board until March 31, 2008 to provide for an orderly transition of responsibilities. Jones has been responsible for company operations since becoming president in 1998 and CEO and chairman in 2000. Under his leadership, a complete review and realignment of the company's operations has resulted in two-thirds of the portfolio now being made up of growth businesses compared to less than a third in 2000. In the last three years, these efforts have driven sales and earnings at double-digit growth rates, and the company's return on capital has improved significantly. "We have worked very hard since 2000 to ensure that Air Products has a strong portfolio of profitable growth businesses. The Board of Directors and I have also worked to develop a robust management succession plan that positions the company and its businesses with capable and consistent leadership for many years. Healthy succession is a hallmark of a strong company. It has been a privilege to lead this company for nearly 10 years, and it is very satisfying to see the next generation ready to move up," said Jones. "As I begin this transition with John McGlade as our next chief executive, I am very enthusiastic about Air Products' future," Jones commented, "John is a 31-year company veteran who has been an integral part of successfully building many of our market leadership positions today. His sharp insight, strategic thinking and broad relationships equip him to be an effective leader as Air Products continues to evolve into a higher-return, growth-oriented company." McGlade added, "I look forward to the opportunity to lead this dynamic company. Air Products is well positioned to continue its successful growth and build on the strong foundation put in place over the past decade by John Jones. I am committed to continuing to bring this value to our shareholders, customers, and employees." McGlade, 53, will be only the sixth CEO since the company was founded in 1940. He joined Air Products in 1976 in the company's career development program and subsequently held various positions within its Gases business, including both domestic and international assignments. He was named general manager of the Chemical and Process Industries Division in 1994 and vice president of the division in 1996, where he led the growth of the company's premier position in hydrogen. In 2001, he became general manager and vice president of the Performance Materials Division. He became group vice president for the company's worldwide Chemicals Group in 2003 and assumed his current position in 2006. McGlade earned a B.S. degree in industrial engineering and an M.B.A. from Lehigh University. Jones shared his plans for retirement, "After 35 years of working for this great company, I am looking forward to having more time to spend with my family. I will also continue my work with various corporate and non-profit boards." Jones serves on the boards of ADP, Sunoco, the Dorothy Rider Pool Health Care Trust, the Rider-Pool Foundation, and the Villanova Board of Trustees. Air Products (NYSE:APD) serves customers in industrial, energy, technology and healthcare markets worldwide with a unique portfolio of atmospheric gases, process and specialty gases, performance materials, and equipment and services. Founded in 1940, Air Products has built leading positions in key growth markets such as semiconductor materials, refinery hydrogen, home healthcare services, natural gas liquefaction, and advanced coatings and adhesives. The company is recognized for its innovative culture, operational excellence and commitment to safety and the environment and is listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability and FTSE4Good Indices. The company has annual revenues of $9 billion, operations in over 40 countries, and over 20,000 employees around the globe. For more information, visit www.airproducts.com.
