Two 70 year old men, Mike and Joe, have been friends all of their lives.

Two 70 year old men, Mike and Joe, have been friends all of their lives.

When it's clear that Joe is dying, Mike visits him every day.

One day Mike says, "Joe, we both loved sailing all our lives, and we raced against each other on Saturdays and cruised with each other for so many years. Please do me one favor, when you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there's sailing there."

Joe looks up at Mike from his death bed, "Mike, you've been my best friend for many years. If it's at all possible, I'll do this favor for you.” 

Shortly after that, Joe sadly passes on.

At midnight a couple of nights later, Mike is awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to him, "Mike! Mike!”

"Who is it? Asks Mike sitting up suddenly. "Who is it?"

"Mike, it's me, Joe."

"You're not Joe. Joe just died!"

"I'm telling you, it's me, Joe," insists the voice."

"Joe! Where are you?"

"In heaven.” replies Joe. "I have some really good news and a little bad news."

"Tell me the good news first.” says Mike.

"The good news," Joe says," is that there's sailing in heaven. Better yet, all of our old friends who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we're all young again. Better still, it's always spring time and it never rains or snows. Our wives are there too, and young and pretty as ever! And best of all, we can race all we want, and RC always sets a square line and our sails never blow out of shape or get shredded!"

That's fantastic," says Mike. "It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?”

"You're foredeck this Saturday.”

(What's more tragic, that he's dying on Saturday or that his first position is foredeck?)

Is it time to abandon your marketing efforts on Facebook? 

If you are using a Facebook page to promote your business, be prepared for further decline in your page's ability to reach fans. Due to a glut of advertisers and the increased competition among businesses to reach fans, old Facebook newsfeed optimization strategies are failing.

If you are not committed to a combination of paid post promotion, using your page to appropriately engage with other relevant pages and producing quality content, it's probably time to abandon Facebook in favor of more effective marketing channels - like Google+ pages!

This is serious stuff and it REALLY DOES affect us all, regardless of how far away you live from the Western Atlantic Basin. This is NOT a diving issue, this is a world issue and involves food security for 100's of millions of people.

Please read the article and pass it on to your friends if you are so inclined.

Why are Lionfish a Problem?

Lionfish are a problem because they are destroying native marine fisheries that are ecologically, commercially, traditionally and recreationally necessary.

Over 42 million people directly rely on the reefs in the Caribbean Sea and Latin America for their livelihood. Diving alone is a $2.1 billion dollar economy in the Caribbean.

What happens when the reef dies due to the additional pressures caused by invasive lionfish?

Yes, non-native lionfish are bad.

UK Court Rules that LinkedIn Contacts Can be Company Property

UK Court Rules that LinkedIn Contacts Can be Company Property

This is a fascinating read about social media and proprietary information as it relates to client lists. The assertion was made that an ex-employee's LinkedIn contacts, which the company initially advocated, constituted confidential property and that upon termination of his employment he could not maintain those contacts.

My question is, "How is a LinkedIn connection confidential when once the connection is made all previous connections, and future ones, then become known to each user?"

Here is a short snippet from the article:

"The High Court (in the UK) has confirmed that LinkedIn contacts can constitute confidential information belonging to an employer to which it has granted injunctive relief.

The problems for an organization attempting to assert ownership of LinkedIn contacts are well known. LinkedIn's terms and conditions say that ownership of the account is personal to the account holder.  Many companies attempt to claim ownership of accounts that are opened by employees during the course of their employment."

Feds Steal Farmers' Crops Every Year Under Marketing Ploy

Feds Steal Farmers' Crops Every Year Under Marketing Ploy

I've been engrossed in the Horne v. USDA matter all morning now. Wow! 

Essentially the USDA requires a holdback of up to 47% of a raisin producers' crop every year in order to artificially inflate pricing for which they have not provided compensation to the farmers since 2002.

The Hornes decided to pack and distribute their own raisins since they were not being paid for almost half of their crop. Legal railroading of the farmers ensues under the guise of Federal regulation until the Supreme Court gets involved (http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/horne-v-department-of-agriculture/) and decides that this a real Constitutional issue dealing with the 5th Amendment (protection against the abuse of government authority).

Originally shared by ****

Social network account cloning and profile hijacking is a process in which a scammer creates a new social media account using a profile picture and similar name taken from an existing user, then sends out friend requests which appear to originate from that user. 

The requests often claim the sender has just set up a new account or was locked out of his previous account.

The purpose of this scam may be to send victims links to malicious websites, to perpetrate phishing schemes, or to collect personal information from users that can be used for identity theft.

Private Investigator Marketing - Tips for Using Social Media Effectively

Many investigators wonder if social network marketing is right for their agency and worth the time and expense to do it correctly. The answer is most definitely a resounding "YES!" but you have to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each outlet.

The real power of social media for private investigators is not necessarily building an online presence, but rather to use other organization's social media presence to specifically inject yourself in the conversation where your unique experience, abilities and perspective as a PI is appropriate!

Drowning is the 2nd Leading Cause of Death in Children Under 15 Years Old

This is important. Drowning is most often a very quiet death and many children die just a few feet from an adult because they did't recognize what a person looks like just before they go under the surface for the final time...

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin

My U.S. friends and countrymen I have a troubling concern:

I am not in the U.S. to see first person the media's portrayal or rationalization for the manhunt of the 2nd Boston marathon bombing suspect. I understand that this act of terrorism was intense and a terrible experience; the public loss of life and the maiming of our brothers and sisters is pure evil and NEVER acceptable. 

My deepest thoughts, prayers and condolences are with all of those who experienced loss and are suffering.

However, as a Constitutionalist, I keep thinking about the overwhelming government and law enforcement response we all witnessed unfold after the bombs exploded. Mine will NOT be a popular opinion; some of you will get pissed off at me but the majority of you will certainly come to understand my point of view (if not now, over the course of a few weeks)... 

*The response was over-reaching and unconstitutional.*

Since when is it OK to limit the movement of innocent civilians, shut down communication, detain citizens without probable cause and conduct armed, warrantless house to house searches? They prohibited commerce to the tune of an estimated billion dollars, froze wages and disrupted lives through the blanket closing of businesses and the complete shut down of travel.

Today cop cars and law enforcement officers... tomorrow Department of Homeland Security armored personnel carriers and soldiers.  

Where do we draw the line??? The color of the uniform?

Soon they will be going house to house looking for your guns under the guise of protecting the 6 adults and 20 children of Sandy Hook Elementary.

In all of the previous terrorist acts committed in the United States we have not witnessed such an overwhelming law enforcement response despite the fact that we lost 3 people compared to dozens, hundreds and thousands in previous acts.

At what point do we say, "STOP! YOU CANNOT TRAMPLE ON MY CIVIL LIBERTIES AND THE RIGHTS I AM GUARANTEED BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES IN YOUR SEARCH FOR ONE MAN WHO KILLED [Insert death toll here] PEOPLE."

When we give an inch, they take a mile. Liberty lost cannot be regained without struggle.

Again NOT popular, but I was extremely proud of the men and women that worked tirelessly to save that scumbag's life... it would be easy to let him die and bypass the complexities and costs of a proper trial, but in the United States we believe that all accused are innocent until PROVEN guilty in a court of law. This person, who I am convinced is 100% guilty of this act of terrorism, is still presumed innocent and, as Americans, when did we start to let innocent people bleed to death without trying to save them? Never. They did the right thing in saving his life. That is the America I know, love and believe in, regardless of how unpopular that opinion might be. (Now I hope he has a just trial and a swift death.)

Please understand friends and patriots, the fundamentals of our freedom and the liberties guaranteed by our birth in the United States of America have been eroding for many years now. Those who would see fit to do just that use these previously unimaginable tragedies to accomplish their goals but we must push back and adamantly defend our inalienable rights as Americans...

Especially in the heat of the moment when it feels "safer" to look the other way.

This is Important if You Have a Wordpress Website

This is Important if You Have a Wordpress Website

The National Cyber Awareness System has announced that WordPress websites are actively being targeted by a Mass Brute-force Botnet Attack.

All hosting providers offering WordPress for web content management are potentially targets. Hackers reportedly are utilizing over 90,000 servers to compromise websites administrator panels by exploiting hosts with admin as account name, and weak passwords which are being resolved through brute force attack methods.

CloudFlare, a web performance and security startup, has blocked 60 million requests against its WordPress customers within one hour elapse time. A CloudFlare spokesman asserted that if hackers successfully control WordPress servers, potential damage and service disruption could exceed common distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack defenses. 

As a mitigating strategy, HostGator, a web hosting company used for WordPress, has recommended users log into their WordPress accounts change or remove and admin logins and upgrade their password to something more secure.

Would You Give Up Your Identity to Pursue New Business?

Since selling the online private investigator continuing education and magazine websites the vacuum left in my entrepreneurial soul has been filling up fast with desire to start something new... despite trying to fill that hole with world travel and a shit-ton of scuba diving. I have so many business ideas in my head that it hurts; I'm like a puppy in a warehouse of fire hydrants and I just don't know where to start first.

And I've really struggled trying to take a meaningful first step, beyond setting up social profiles for every semi-viable idea I've had, towards really moving forward with anything in particular. Right now I have two very precious commodities - MONEY AND TIME.

I'm coming to the realization that the first problem with moving forward might be my deep roots, history and connections within the private investigation profession since only a couple of new business ideas involve the profession at all. Admittedly, the two or three PI-related businesses would be low-hanging fruit that probably wouldn't make a great deal of money in the long run; the prospects of building a business with the express purpose to eventually sell it are pretty slim, too. PIs, as a market, seem chronically poor, cynical and under-motivated to do anything REAL to improve their agency business beyond be annoying because it's free and requires no effort.

My focus has always been investigations-related and my social networks are filled with investigators and investigation businesses. It's hard to focus on anything else!

It seems more and more that I am going to have to drop out of the investigator groups I'm in and discontinue the well-established investigations-related pages I admin (other than my own investigation agency related page, CompassPoint Investigations) if I am going to be able to re-focus my energy in other spaces but...

CAN I ESSENTIALLY GIVE UP MY HARD-EARNED PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY TO CHASE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO SUCCEED?

I wish there was a balance but I haven't been able to find it.

Should I burn my ships and leave no other option but to fight forward?
