Betrayal in Benghazi
I received the following piece by Phil "Hands" Handley Colonel, USAF (Ret.) from my friend Audra
From Audra: "Colonel Phil "Hands" Handley is credited with the highest speed air- to-air gun kill in the history of aerial combat. He flew operationally for all but 11 months of a 26-year career, in aircraft such as the F-86 Sabre, F-15 Eagle, and the C-130A Hercules. Additionally, he flew 275 combat missions during two tours in Southeast Asia in the F-4D and F-4E. His awards include 21 Air Medals, 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, and the Silver Star.
Here is what Col. Handley wrote in response to Panetta and Dempsey's claims there was no time to send help to Benghazi"
Betrayal in Benghazi By
Phil "Hands" Handley Colonel, USAF (Ret.) –
The combat code of the US Military is that we don't abandon our dead or wounded on the battlefield. In US Air Force lingo, fighter pilots don't run off and leave their wingmen. If one of our own is shot down, still alive and not yet in enemy captivity, we will either come to get him or die trying.
Among America's fighting forces, the calm, sure knowledge that such an irrevocable bond exists is priceless. Along with individual faith and personal grit, it is a sacred trust that has often sustained hope in the face of terribly long odds.
The disgraceful abandonment of our Ambassador and those brave ex-SEAL's who fought to their deaths to save others in that compound is nothing short of dereliction-of-duty.
Additionally, the patently absurd cover-up scenario that was fabricated in the aftermath was an outright lie in an attempt to shield the President and the Secretary of State from responsibility.
The White House strategy, with the aid of a "lap dog" press has been to run out the clock before the truth is forthcoming.
The recent testimonies of the three "whistle blowers" have reopened the subject and hopefully will lead to exposure and disgrace of those responsible for this embarrassing debacle. It would appear that the most recent firewall which the Administration is counting on is the contention "that there were simply no military assets that could be brought to bear in time to make a difference" mainly due to the unavailability of tanker support for fighter aircraft.
This is simply Bullshit, regardless how many supposed "experts" the Administration trot out to make such an assertion.
The bottom line is that even if the closest asset capable of response was half-way around the world, you don't just sit on your penguin ass and do nothing.
The fact is that the closest asset was not half-way around the world, but as near as Aviano Air Base , Italy where two squadrons of F-16Cs are based.
Consider the following scenario (all times Benghazi local): When Hicks in Tripoli receives a call at 9:40 PM from Ambassador Stevens informing him "Greg, we are under attack!" (his last words), Hicks immediately notifies all agencies and prepares for the immediate initiation of an existing "Emergency Response Plan."
At AFRICON, General Carter Ham attempts to mount a rescue effort, but is told to "stand down". By 10:30 PM an unarmed drone is overhead the compound and streaming live feed to various "Command and Control Agencies" so everyone watching that feed knew damn well what was going on.
At 11:30 PM Woods, Doherty and five others leave Tripoli, arriving in Benghazi at 1:30 AM on Wednesday morning, where they hold off the attacking mob from the roof of the compound until they are killed by a mortar direct hit at 4:00 AM.
So nothing could have been done, eh? Nonsense. If one assumes that tanker support really "was not available" what about this:
When at 10:00 PM AFRICON alerts the 31st TFW Command Post in Aviano Air Base, Italy of the attack, the Wing Commander orders preparation for the launch of two F-16s and advises the Command Post at NAS Sigonella to prepare for hot pit refueling and quick turn of the jets.
By 11:30 PM, two F-16Cs with drop tanks and each armed with five hundred 20 MM rounds are airborne. Flying at 0.92 mach they will cover the 522 nautical miles directly to NAS Sigonella in 1.08 hours. While in-route, the flight lead is informed of the tactical situation, rules of engagement, and radio frequencies to use.
The jets depart Sigonella at 1:10 AM with full fuel load and cover the 377 nautical miles directly to Benghazi in 0.8 hours, arriving at 1:50 AM which would be 20 minutes after the arrival of Woods, Doherty and their team.
Providing that the two F-16s initial pass over the mob, in full afterburner at 200 feet and 550 knots did not stop the attack in its tracks, a few well placed strafing runs on targets of opportunity would assuredly do the trick.
Were the F-16s fuel state insufficient to return to Sigonelli after jettisoning their external drop tanks, they could easily do so at Tripoli International Airport , only one-half hour away.
As for those hand-wringing naysayers who would worry about IFR clearances, border crossing authority, collateral damage, landing rights, political correctness and dozens of other reasons not to act — screw them. It is time our "leadership" get its priorities straight and put America 's interests first.
The end result would be that Woods and Doherty would be alive. Dozens in the attacking rabble would be rendezvousing with "72 virgins" and a clear message would have been sent to the next worthless P.O.S. terrorist contemplating an attack on Americans that it is not really a good idea to "tug" on Superman's cape.
Of course all this depends upon a Commander In Chief more concerned with saving the lives of those he put in harm's way than getting his crew rested for a campaign fund raising event in Las Vegas the next day. It also depends upon a Secretary of State who actually understood "What difference did it make?", and a Secretary of Defense who was watching the feed from the drone and understood what the attack consisted of instead of making an immediate response that "One of the military tenants is that you don't commit assets until you fully understand the tactical situation."
YGBSM! ( You Gotta Be Shittin' Me)
Ultimately it comes down to the question of who gave that order to stand down? Whoever that coward turns out to be should be exposed, removed from office, and face criminal charges for dereliction of duty. The combat forces of the United States of America deserve leadership that really does "have their back" when the chips are down.

A bit worse than imagined. Never repay Bad, for Good. Courageous people were fighting to protect the US Embassy, and they were willfully and deliberately left to die. Only cowards do something like that, to leave courageous people to die. It means the leadership of America, is comprised of COWARDS. Very few, exceptions. Very, few.

Char in ND says:
Panetta, Dempsey, Clinton and Obama are all liars. This is so disgraceful and the cover up by the members of the press is shameless – still not one of them has asked Obama what he was doing during all of the hours the compound was under attack.
Thanks for the post, Alexis.

TeamViewer is a file-sharing and communication program that also lets IT teams remotely access devices of enterprise employees. Unfortunately, its power as an enterprise tool also makes it popular for cybercriminals, and TeamViewer has, in fact, been used in a range of cybercriminal operations from account abuse hacking to phishing schemes. Recently, we investigated another case of misuse.
After arriving on the victim's system, the malware executes the TeamViewer.exe file, which loads the malicious DLL %User Temp%\PmIgYzA\TV.dll. The trojan spyware then gathers user and device data (listed below) and connects to the website hxxp://intersys32[.]com to send and receive this information.
Digging into the site revealed other malware connected to that particular URL, such as the trojan CoinSteal and another information stealer and malware dropper called Fareit. This could hint at a bigger operational campaign of trojan spyware.
This type of TeamViewer misuse is not new. Malware developers have been known to use the tool to deliver backdoors and keyloggers in a similar way as far back as 2016. We saw that the tool was trojanized by adding a malicious DLL to a legitimate version to be loaded onto a victim's device. In 2017, a published report also showed how TeamViewer was being used to control an infected machine, not merely as a malware loader.
Given the possibilities of abuse and the recent schemes to deliver malware disguised as legitimate software, users should secure their endpoints with multilayered protection.
The malware described in this article is not the official TeamViewer software. It is a modified, pirated version of the software. It is strongly recommended to download the software only from the official TeamViewer website. Obtaining software from a reputable source is the best way to protect against threats like the trojan spyware described here. TeamViewer recommends to always use the latest version of its software in order to benefit from the latest security precautions.

Obama Drafts Health Care Fallback Plan
By Keith Koffler
The White House has been secretly drafting its own health care legislation that it may unveil at some point during the debate if officials believe it would help secure passage of a bill, according to sources familiar with the effort.
Sources differed on how far the process has gotten, with some saying a bill is basically finished and others saying they are aware only of a partially completed effort. White House officials, though they know their preferences, also appear to be constructing different options that could be thrown together depending on how the legislation is shaping up in Congress.
But all sources knowledgeable about the effort agreed the measure includes significant detail and possibly even some legislative language that could ensure the bill is ready to go the moment it is needed.
"They are getting ready for a backup,— said one veteran observer of health care debates who was knowledgeable about the effort. "It will be parachuted in if necessary.—
The White House measure appears designed to entice moderate Democrats and perhaps even Republicans into supporting a health care overhaul if legislative efforts in Congress fail or if they move too far to the left. Sources said one possibility would be to invoke the measure if the Senate cannot rally 60 votes to break a filibuster. Another option may be to present details of what the White House wants during a conference between the House and the Senate.
But the White House effort may never see the light of day.
At the moment, the Senate Finance Committee is moving legislation that includes many provisions and a price tag supported by President Barack Obama, and the need for a White House bill may now be moot. One of the reasons for embarking on the project was to have a detailed proposal ready in case the Finance Committee failed to move a bill that could pass the Senate.
[IMGCAP(1)]The White House effort has been held close to the vest and sources were not aware of the details of the plan. White House aides did not respond to numerous requests for comment.
One lobbyist working the health care beat — who was not aware of the White House plan — was not surprised at the White House's reluctance to talk, saying moderates would demand details and liberals would be concerned the White House was selling them out.
The existence of White House proposals helps explain Obama's specificity during his Sept. 9 health care address to Congress in naming a 10-year $900 billion price tag for "the plan I'm proposing.— During his remarks, Obama gave no details about how he arrived at the number. But Obama aides had by then worked out their preferences in enough detail that they were able to run the numbers.
Some on Capitol Hill have felt frustrated that the White House put out a number but failed to provide a road map for getting there. But others are content to have the White House stay out of the fray and let lawmakers take the lead.
The failure to share details of what the White House wants fits with a strategy that aims to allow lawmakers leeway in crafting a bill. The strategy appears deeply informed by the failure of President Bill Clinton in 1994 to get Congress to act on health care.
Several administration officials and advisers are veterans of the Clinton effort, which featured a detailed White House proposal that became a magnet for criticism from opponents. Some believe the effort by the White House to steer the debate is what led to failure.

Phoenix, AZ—I don't care where you stand on the issue of criminal immigration. It's understandable why people want to live in America. The reason people want to come here is because of all the things Barack Obama and his Socialist Gang wants to change like the free market, liberty and freedom.
Those One World Socialists want the entire globe under their rule. One World is another way of saying, there is no escape. Socialist countries have border security, not to keep people out but to prevent people from fleeing their oppression. With a one World Socialist government borders would become totally irrelevant.
American taxpayers can't continue to provide free schooling and medical care for all of South and Central America like we've been doing. That failed policy has bankrupted us and damaged our way of life. Those countries and their corrupt governments have exported only poverty, drugs and violence to our heartland.
Terrorists know the American political climate has destroyed our border defense and that they can move all manner of weapons of mass destruction along with agents to place and detonate them. Dirty bombs, chemicals to poison our food or water supplies along with their delivery systems are easily transported across our border.
Only a fool would believe that terrorists did not change their method of attack from commercial air travel attacks to other means. Our own Whitehouse has been occupied by our enemies for more than a year. We are under the most serious attack this nation has ever faced. The enemy is in absolute controls our borders.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer asked Barack Obama for border security and instead got a flag of surrender. Signs posted by our federal government acknowledging the acceptance of the invasion warning Americans to stay away.
Sitting here in nanny-state Singapore and watching a BBC special on the upheavals in Thailand while also thinking about my return home next week to Arizona and what's happening there, I think I can see the two poles of what the next couple of years could bring.
Singapore is clean, well groomed and peaceful. It feels like a graveyard because there's little life other than what is cultured, clipped and pruned.
I'm not one for utter chaos but, then again, there's a lot to be said for fecundity. Some of the best species I know came from it.
Jan said that her pleas for help to Napolitano and Obama are ignored??? Listen to her own words.
Just goes to show the Department of Homeland Security is a farce.
George Soros has told the world his vision for a "world government" in his book "GLOBALIZATION". SDR's (special drawing rights) will be the next ponzi scheme and further consolidate power. But most important, have you all read Obama's Manifesto? He clearly tells us he wants an international order. Read it for yourselves, especially pg 12 about international laws.
Obama clearly is pursuing daddy Bush's "New World Order" and for such should be immediately relieved of his position.
Obama embraces the notion that America's Constitution must be tossed aside and sovereignty of all nations made irrelevant.
Hello Mr. Mueller, aren't you going to do something?

(von) Lüttichau is a Danish and German noble family that belongs to the High Nobility. The family has several separate noble branches, primarily from Denmark. The Lüttichau family are amongst the largest landowners in Denmark today. Males of the family carry the title Baron or Count.

The Lüttichau family played a prominent role in Danish politics throughout the 19th century. The family owns several estates in Denmark, including Tjele Estate which has been in the possession of the family for 10 generations. The former Tjele Municipality was named after the Lüttichau family's seat there.

History
 The Lüttichau noble family was originally from Meissen and is named after the ancestral seat of Lüttichau near Königsbruch, which the family held during the 15th and 16th centuries. The oldest known document to reference the Lüttichau family comes the 12th century, and refers to an Elisabeth "ex antiqua et nobili familia Luttichorum" (English: from the ancient and noble family of the Lüttichau). The document describes Bishop Benno of Meissen healing Elizabeth through intercession.

The family line can be traced back to Heinrich von Lutchow (1330–1366). From Heinrich von Lutchow, the patriarchal family line is known to pass down to a Heinrich von Lüttichou (c. 1374), then Friedrich von Lüttichau (d. 1442), then his son Siegfried (Seyfert) von Lüttichau (d. 1496), then to Heinrich von Lüttichau (d. 1528), then Wolfgang von Lüttichau (1498–1568). Wolfgang was a chancellor and judge in Meissen. Through his second marriage he had two sons: Seyfert von Lüttichau (c. 1545—1605), a court master and magistrate in Senftenberg and Friedrich von Lüttichau (d. 1609). Seyfert's descendants continue to form the family's primary germanic line of descent, while Friedrich's establish the Danish line.

Germanic line
Through Seyfert von Lüttichau (c. 1545—1605), the germanic line (Kmehlen and  Ulbersdorf), was established. Among his 12 children were: Wolff (1565–1639), an electoral magistrate and chancellor; Hannibal (c. 1570–1617); Nikolaus (1578–1632); and August (1585–1631).

 Count Ludwig Gottlob Lüttichau (1739–1813) was a descendant of Nikolaus von Lüttichau (1578–1632). He was appointed as an electoral chamberlain of Saxony in 1767, and in 1769 was granted the title of Imperial Count. He then became Landeshauptmann of Upper Lusatia in 1787. Ludwig Gottlob was married twice and had no descendants.
 Baron Rudolf Anton Karl Maximilian Lüttichau (1812–1876) was a chamberlain and colonel. He was a descendant of Nikolaus von Lüttichau (1578–1632). On 18 June 1865 he was granted status as a baron in Austria. His eldest son, Franz Rudolf (1846–1914), was chamberlain and council secretary of the District Court of Wels.
 Baron Friedrich August Kurt Lüttichau (1815–1888), was a descendant of Hannibal von Lüttichau (c. 1570–1617). His wife, Marthe-Louise de la Frenaye (1832–1899), was Chief Court Mistress to the Queen of Saxony. On 7 March 1877 he was granted status as a baron in Dresden.

Danish line

The Danish Line stems from Wolfgang von Lüttichau's (1498–1568) second son, Friedrich von Lüttichau (d. 1609). Friedrich's son, Wolff Caspar von Lüttichau Sr., was then followed by Wolff Caspar von Lüttichau Jr. (d. 1677). Wolff Caspar Jr. served as the Upper Hofmeister in Mecklenburg and had two children through his second marriage, both of whom relocated to Denmark: Eleonore Marie von Lüttichau (b. 1669) and Hans Helmuth von Lüttichau (1670–1732). Eleonore Marie was Maid of the Bedchamber to Queen Louise, Chief Court Mistress to Princess Charlotte Amalie, and a member of the Ordre de l'Union Parfaite.

Lieutenant-general Hans Helmuth von Lüttichau (1670–1732) established the Danish line of the family. All of Hans Helmuth's sons became officers within the Danish military. He and his wife, Cathérine Agnès de Lézenne (b. 1671) had no fewer than six children: Major-general Christian Ditlev (1695–1767), Eleonore Elegarde (1690–1714), Eva Marie (1699–1750), Catharine Gottliebe (d. 1727), Major-general Wolff Caspar (1704–1765), and Lieutenant-general Cæsar Læsar (1709–1787). Hans Helmuth's eldest son, Christian Ditlev von Lüttichau (1695–1767), established the estates of Tjele and Vingegård in 1759, the former of which remains in the family's possession today.

On 25 January 1887, Christian Ditlev Lüttichau (1832–1915) secured a patent of nobility for he and his brothers which officially recognised them and their descendants as belonging to the Danish nobility. As such, he and his brother's descendants officially qualified as Danish nobles. Christian Ditlev served as Minister of Finance, Hofjægermester, Chamberlain, and Chairman of the Board of Hedeselskabet, an independent foundation. He married his wife, Margrethe Theresia Petrine Malvina Jessen (1835–1927) in 1860. The couple had seven children: Hans Helmuth Lüttichau (1868–1921), Christian Ditlev Lüttichau Jr. (1870–1951), Carl Vilhelm Lüttichau (b. 1871), Ida Malvina Margrethe Elenora (1872–1916), Selma Anna Sophie Elisabeth (1874–1911), Max Bernhard and Edvin Arnold (b. 1876, both died after birth).

Christian Ditlev's eldest brother, Hans Helmuth Lüttichau (1834–1889) was the owner of Viskum estate and a Hofjægermester. He was unmarried and had no descendants. His younger brother, Ulysses Constant Arnold Lüttichau (1847–1906) was a civil engineer employed on various works in France and also a Hofjægermester. He and his wife, Ellen Christine Elisabeth Ibsen (1861–1948) resided at the Vingegård estate and had four children: Max Bernhard (1892–1972), Kai Siegfried (1893–1921), Preben Mogens (b. 1895), and Curt Ulysses (1897–1991), an architect.

Imperial line
Count Christian Frederik Tønne von Lüttichau (1744–1805), was one of Major-general Christian Ditlev's (1695–1767) eleven children with his wife Helle Trolle Urne. As a young man, Christian Frederik Tønne had a military career. In 1768, he matriculated at the University of Göttingen and was granted a doctorate in law from Oxford University the same year. In 1791 he was granted the title of Imperial Count. As such, his descendants inherited his title as part of the imperial nobility. Through both of his marriages, Christian Frederik Tønne had a total of eighteen children. Of note are: Countess Helene Catherine Betty (1790–1841), Prioress of Roskilde Cathedral; Count Carl August Wilhelm Ferdinand (1792–1848), Prussian Colonel; Count Johann Baptist Heinrich Albrecht Wilhelm (1793–1858), Prussian Colonel; and Count Philipp Theodor (1795–1867), Prussian Lieutenant General.

Norwegian line
Descendant of the Danish line, Wolff Caspar von Lüttichau (1705–1765) had a son: Major Christian Cæsar (1745–1797), who possessed two estates: Lerkenfeldt and Ørndrup. Christian Cæsar's son, Wulff Caspar Frederik Lüttichau (1788–1831), was born near Farsø on the Lerkenfeldt Estate. He married Christine Jørgensen Vesterbye in 1811 and they settled in Norway together. Their descendants form the Norwegian line of the family. Of their eleven children, eight are known: Georgine Cæsarine Hortensia Lovisa (b. 1812), Emilie Marie (b. 1814), Caroline Marie (b. 1816), Marthe Christine Amalie (b. 1818), Ingeborg Marie Frederiche (b. 1818), Chrisitan Cæsar (1822–1850), Natalie (b. 1825), and Carl Ludvig Wilhelm (1829–1856).

An earlier ancestor, Hans Siegrfried von Lüttichau (d. 1644) was a mining official in Norway, and settled there. He was a great-grandson of the family patriarch, Heinrich von Lüttchau (1330—1366), and a son of Siegfried (Seyfert) von Lüttichau (d. 1496). Hans Siegrfried, however, left no known descendants in Norway.

RadioActive 6/11/09
Producers/Hosts: Meredith DeFrancesco, Meg DeFrancesco, Amy Browne
Today we revisit a proposed project in Milbridge, which would offer 6 units of affordable year round housing for farm workers in that community. On Tuesday, community members will vote on a moratorium which could stop the project.
For over two years, the community organization Mano en Mano has been working on the proposed project. Mano en Mano works with the Latino immigrant community in Milbridge, where there are now reportedly 100 to 150 Latino year round residents, 22 of whom are children. The proposed housing, however, is open to any farm worker in the area.
In the past years, two other housing complexes have been built in the town, and none have received the kind of opposition this one has, which appears to be focused more on the fact that many of those who would be served are immigrant workers.
Mano en Mano and supporters of the project say the central issue is adequate and affordable housing for people who are living, working and going to school in the town, a town which has a 77 applicant waiting list for affordable housing opportunities.
Interviews with:
Anais Tomesko, director of Mano en Mano www.manoenmanocenter.org
Jose Ocampo, Marina (last name not used) and Sylvia (last name not used)
All three are immigrants from Mexico who have been working for a variety of farm and fishing industries in the greater Milbridge area, have children and are looking for affordable housing.

Bitcoin Bill Could Pose Problems for Bitcoin Owners with USCBP
It recently came to my attention, I read up a lot on things like Bitcoin, I'm not personally particularly invested in those kinds of instruments but I keep track of the news surrounding Bitcoin because some of it touches on certain areas and certain aspects of clients as well as this interest that the firm has here in Bangkok.
It recently came to my attention to the website Zero Hedge in an article entitled "You won't believe this stupid new law against cash and Bit Coin." They go ahead and cite what has been called, it's "Senate Bill 1241, S-1241" I should say "Combating money laundering, terrorist financing and counterfeiting act of 2017." And basically, the broad strokes of this proposed legislation, they would add "prepaid access devices in digital currency" after money orders in the United States Federal Code with respect to regulations pertaining to customs and border protection.
Now to stay away from sort of the legalese, to just get into the nuts and bolts of this, basically it would seem that if this law is enacted and amends the United States code accordingly, then the amendments would create a situation whereby if one were traveling in the United States and one had a so-called digital wallet or own digital currency over a certain amount of money namely, at least at present it would appear to be $10,000 in value that if one did not fill out a form presumably declaring the existence of this digital currency, that one had this digital currency, that one owned this digital currency, it could create customs problems. What are we talking about with respect to customs problems? Well, fines and possibly criminal penalties appear to be associated with this proposed legislation.
At the time of this filming, it's fairly difficult to say exactly how this is going to shake out but it appears very clear to me, that moving forward, tax and customs authorities are looking at the digital realm with respect to compliance and enforcement. U.S. Customs and Border Protection itself just across the board in the past few months has in a sense, been "the eye of certain storms, but more than that, just over the course of the past 10 years, Customs and Border Protection enforcement mechanisms and things of that nature have become increasingly cutting-edge and this law just appears to be one more step in the increasingly forward-moving evolution as to how Customs and Border Protection views things like financial instruments; clearly they're amending that term to include things like digital currencies.
The interesting thing about this is one could be moving to the United States sort of digitally naked. Don't have a cellphone on one's person. Don't have a laptop on one's person, no tablet, just literally don't have any devices and it still appears that it will be required that those individuals who own more than say, $10,000 worth of Bitcoin will be required to still go ahead and disclose that information before entering the United States. How this is going to shake out remains to be seen. I think as with things like passport revocation associated with IRS delinquencies, I think it is very safe to assume that something akin to this legislation is going to be enacted within the next probably 24 or 36 months from the time of this filming. It may not look exactly like this piece of legislation. For instance, I could see it being possible that various interest groups lobby the United States Congress and perhaps get the amount of Bitcoin that requires disclosure say, lifted for example going from $10,000 up to a $100,000.
Again, this is all speculation but it seems reasonable to me to assume that perhaps somebody would say "Hey, $10,000 in the year 2017 in Bitcoin, that really isn't that much money." But that being said, that's not exactly how the enforcement agencies really look at this stuff. They look at it more from sort of lack of black and white perspective where they basically say, "Look, $10,000 in our estimation somebody who's moving around, globe-trotting with more than that money is somebody that's sort of person of interest to us (for lack of better term)."
So that being said, how this exactly is going to play out remains to be seen. But I think it's fairly safe to assume that something akin to this legislation is going to be promulgated, at least in the foreseeable future.


Mike: When I saw this title I thought it was a larger more universal topic. I didn't realize the "culture wars" had invaded this coffee shop named Bedlam.
Just checked it out: Currently I see 20 Q in the Q & A, plus a TON of reviews in Google and Yelp, and looking at the reviews in both by recentness, it appears the reviewers are attacking the store in large numbers.
Don't know how large the numbers are in the last two days or so since the incident. Do YOU?
Are there more reviews in Google or Yelp than Q's in Q and A? in this time period? Have you counted? (I haven't).
Off the top of your head which review status/visibility has the most impact in your point of view? Just curious.
Just checking it today, Yelp at least has identified that they are monitoring review activity and I assume results as the coffee shop has hit the news and specifically the volatile news with regard to politics. Google hasn't flagged it in that way, but they don't do that to my knowledge.
Do you have an opinion or an educated comment on which of these web elements might have the most impact?
Bedlam—seems like an appropriate name.
I took it upon myself to try and count review and Q responses since this brouhaha occurred. As of 4:30 EST time on 10/10 I was able to count or estimate 85 reviews on yelp. (estimate 20 per page). More difficult to count google review volume so I didn't try.
Compare that to the 20 Q's on Google. Well the review spammer/attackers/ on political issues are using yelp reviews more frequently. I suspect the same with google reviews.
Not surprising. Q and A is new and it hasn't gotten enormous visibility/publicity, let alone its not on desktop at this time.
I would be very interested to see if Google "cleans them up". If not its an open invitation to spam Q and A with either false attack or false positive Q's.
And if they don't clean it up, it would be a shame. Another signal open to manipulation.
There are a lot of 'local guides' leaving hatful reviews and Q&As. I used to think Google could rely on Local Guides, rank their reviews higher, give them more credit when making updates but this is just a status and it doesn't entitle honesty, integrity and good practices.
There is no value to google guides when it comes to honesty. Google doesn't seem to care or do anything to filter through people.
"Anybody up for a Saturday night review swap? My yelps stick, im level 5 google guide." There was also one that referenced someone who said that he/she is a level 4 google guide.
Wipe out the glitter that google attaches to google guides and its equally applicable to spamming away on google.
To date google does nothing to restrict this element.
One other observation: I really feel badly for the owner operator on this one. Currently and recently he has been responding to every google review. He hasn't responded to the yelp ones.
I do that. It can be time consuming. If this owner has received 50-60 mostly "political reviews" in the last week, he has had to respond to them through the smb gmb gmail. Its time consuming.
He has been cutting and pasting. I haven't read through them but they have links to different stories /urls etc.
I assume google is going to remove them. Their algo policy has been to remove reviews with urls. I'd assume they would likewise remove owner responses with urls.
We'll see. If they remove the owner responses automatically b/c of the urls…..well that was a lot of time and work for nothing.
Its an enormous cluster f**k. Google and yelp should remove the political reviews. Frankly if they did it enough people would stop using them for that purpose.
What a mess – Bedlam really.
10/13. What I'm seeing today is that google is and has been removing reviews that they have identified as political. The volume of reviews is shrinking.
On the Q & A side, I currently don't see it at all. Its removed.
Good moves by google in my mind.
Want to eliminate spamminess. Just erase it!!!!
10/16. Q & A remains removed from mobile views. Review volume in Google continues to shrink.
This is one case where google seems intent on dealing with review spam. The particular review spam was all a result of a political firestorm (not unusual).

I dreamt about shroud of turin and was to mail to Jerusalem explaining to my son the location I ended up in Jerusalem looked like a small village of later times. Arriving at a shack I met two men that explained they only had beans and potatoes. I would make a soup when they put some meat on the table which I believe was lamb. Stepping outside I see a Jeep truck with 3 wheels (white) arrive Jesus driving got off and walked towards me. He was wearing all white very thin material brown sandels
Dream Christmas Eve 2019: Background: I plan
Dream Christmas Eve 2019: Background: I plan on buying a particular used model of a BMW next year. I have a friend named Todd who works on the ocean and visits once or twice a year, he is not here at this time. The Dream: I saw the model car that I want to buy, it was white and I do not want a white car but this had everything else I wanted. The owner let me take it for a ride by myself. Prior to giving me the keys he said "The salesman told me, 'Whatever you do, don't push the static electricity button." I drove off and really enjoyed the ride. Apparently I did push the static electricity button (as I found out later in the dream). The car ran fine for me and I returned it to the owner and also, apparently, we swapped our shoes with each other for awhile. The next scene I was in a place I would describe as an auditorium. The owner of the car came up to me and we started to swap shoes (I remember that I found that disgusting as I would not want to actually wear someone elses shoes). As we were exchanging shoes he said, "Why did you do it?" I said, "Do what." He replied, "Push the static electricity button." I had no answer but told him I would pay to fix it. He said that he had already done that and it was still running poorly and that the car was talking to him. In this scene the previously faceless owner was now my friend Todd. I woke up.

We smile because we feel happy, but did you know it works the other way round as well? That we can make ourselves feel happy because we smile?
It's true: back in 1988 German researchers conducted experiments into smiling and whether the physical act of smiling could induce happy feelings.
The scientists did not want to influence the results of their research by telling subjects that their study was about emotion, so they devised an ingenious way to persuade the subjects to flex certain muscles of their face. They divided them into three groups. Group one were asked to hold a pencil widthways between their teeth, forcing a smile. Group two were asked to hold the end of the pencil in their lips which means they couldn't smile, and were actually making a sort of a frown with pursed lips; while group three was asked to hold the pencil in their hand. Then the subjects looked at some cartoons, and rated how funny they were. The "smile" group rated the cartoons much funnier than the "frown" group, and the control group fell somewhere in the middle.
Scientists think facial feedback works in two ways. Firstly because the brain senses the flexing of the 'smile muscles' and reasons "I must be happy about something." Secondly we also receive social feedback. The old saying 'smile and the world smiles with you' is quite true. Smiles are infectious, so if you smile the people around you are more likely to smile, and that can improve your mood too!
Well we were all smiling on Tuesday as we learned the Pharrell Williams' song Happy. It's a silly upbeat song with a feel-good vibe and we learned it without music. To be fair we also learned it without some of the words, which were missing from the song sheet, but with an awful lot of giggling.
I defy anyone to sing Happy without feeling…well…happy!
Chris wants us to sing it without words which may explain why he missed a few out on Tuesday! And Mike has helpfully sent me a link to a YouTube video with lyrics, which I've put here and also in the Practice Notes section of the site, along with Chris's word sheets (now complete!).
P.S I've also put the sheets up for Ain't No Sunshine. Hope they help.
This week's blog post is kindly provided by Clare.
"Last weekend I had the immense pleasure of attending a concert given in St Peter's Church in Raunds by the Osiligi Maasai Warriors. It was wonderful to hear the mesmerising songs, to see the magnificent costumes and to enjoy the dancing and leaping in the air. We even had some brave members of the audience joining in! We were treated to songs for different occasions such as milking the cows and moving cattle. The whistling sounds the men produced were quite amazing!
What touched me most, though, was the talk we enjoyed by John Curtin, the elderly man who has been organising this tour for the last 15 years. His obvious love for the young people he was helping was palpable. He even described one of them as "his best friend" and I could well believe it.
The warriors also spoke very well for themselves and did a very interesting question and answer session before their last song.
Hate the sound of your own voice?
I recorded myself practising a song recently, so I could listen to and familiarise myself with the alto line.
I was a bit unnerved at how my voice sounded. I didn't sound like me, or at least I didn't sound like I'd assumed I sounded!
If you've ever heard yourself recorded and played back you might have experienced that similar cringing feeling of 'listening to a stranger.' Why is this?
Well, when we hear something, in this instance a recording, the sound travels as a series of vibrations which enter our ear and hit the ear drum. This vibrates at the same frequency and in turn vibrates the three tiny ear bones, the malleus, incus and stapes (hammer, anvil and stirrup). The vibrations from the bones are then passed on to a fluid-filled spiral structure called the cochlea and from here they are transformed into electrical signals which are sent to the brain and perceived as sound. This is the only way we can experience other people's voices.
During speech or singing our vocal chords vibrate and these vibrations are transmitted to the small, thin bones of the skull. The vibrations are then transferred through the bones until they too cause the ear drum to vibrate. But as the vibrations travel through the skull they spread out, and their frequency drops. This means that we perceive our own voice as being lower than it actually is.
So when we hear a recording of our own voice it sounds wrong, because it sounds higher pitched than when we hear it inside our own heads.
I thought that was quite a fascinating fact.
Like most choirs at this time of year RCC is pre-occupied with Christmas. One of the carols we are learning is a rather lovely Bob Chilcott version of O Little Town of Bethlehem. It isn't a version many of us are familiar with I think, but it is very beautiful and our tenors are delighted because they get the melody line.
I have always thought of O Little Town of Bethlehem as an essentially English Hymn but its roots are actually American.
In 1865 Brooks travelled to The Holy Land; a huge undertaking in those days. On Christmas Eve that year he made the difficult journey from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, to assist at the midnight service in the Church of the Nativity.
Two years later, back in Massachusetts, he was inspired by his experiences to write a carol for his Sunday school, and he titled it O Little Town of Bethlehem.
Brooks' carol was an instant success in the USA. It only came to England in 1906 when Vaughan Williams, the English composer and collector of folk music, arranged it to the traditional folk tune Forest Green.
Below is a link to the Bob Chilcott version which pays homage to the Williams arrangement, weaving the folk melody line into his own composition.
