Navy Intel: More Info on Marines Directive 550/19 & StormisUponUs Responds to Jeb Bush: Capt. Dave Bertrand, Ret. +Video
BERTRAND DAILY REPORT The War For Your Mind and Soul Continues
By Capt. Dave Bertrand, Ret.
Friends and Associates:
Things are developing rapidly amidst the latest announcement of U.S. Marines being activated, but we also see in the current updated orders, Army, Navy and Air Force reserve activation.
The emphasis here and keyword is "Reserves."
I've been receiving updates from reliable sources and there seems to be two schools of thought as to what is happening. (1) the order is nothing new and is common protocol or (2) martial law is imminent and October 19th is a day to watch.
Rumors were flying that the "Order Was Cancelled" but yes, MARADMIN 550/19 is still in effect.
This new order does not resemble any order we have seen in the past, i.e., Jade Helm 15 & 16, a drill / exercise to ascertain efficiency in working side by side with civilian authorities. This latest Reserve Call-up appears to involve the U.S. Army, U.S. Marines, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Reserves for the specific mission to assist civilian authorities during a "National Emergency" which we know was established by Executive Order and signed by President Trump effective December 21st 2017.
Excerpt of current ORDER:
NARR/REF A IS MCO 3440.7C MARINE CORPS ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES IN DEFENSE SUPPORT OF CIVIL AUTHORITIES (DSCA). REF B IS TITLE 10 U.S.C., §12304a, ARMY RESERVE, NAVY RESERVE, MARINE CORPS RESERVE, AND AIR FORCE RESERVE: ORDER TO ACTIVE DUTY TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN RESPONSE TO A MAJOR DISASTER OR EMERGENCY. (See Full Order Below)
The other rumor concerning United Nations vehicles seen on trains and flatbed trucks has not been completely substantiated and if true…poses a very dangerous precedent of a much bigger situation expected. The U.N. would be setting-up and managing FEMA Camps in the event of an all out Civil War.
However, there is a disconnect with that possibility as it relates to if the U.N., working side by side with U.S. military forces. The Democrat Communist Party and their Deep State cronies in Congress recently called for the United Nations to intervene on the Trump Administration, including "taking-over the southwest border."
The "Squad" run Pelosi and Pelosi is caving…..but tantalized by recent inclinations of becoming president if Trump and Pence are [removed]. "Pelosi would bring-in Hillary Clinton as V.P. and then…..resign herself and Hillary Clinton becomes "president" by default. Maybe the reason why she is expected to run again, while miraculously now in third place.
The latest scam by the Deep State criminals is to run for office in-order to claim "unwarranted political harassment by Trump's Administration." The latest Trump / Ukraine "impeachment" is all about Trump going after Biden and his son while it's a "Conspiracy Theory" to say…."Biden extorted Ukraine with firing the prosecutor going after Hunter Biden."
If the Dems get their wish and both Trump and Pence are [removed]……openly discussed in the media, the country would descend into hell overnight. ANOTHER reason to activate the military reserves.
But what is very interesting….would the military turn all their support towards Pelosi and Clinton and begin rounding-up patriots / conservatives that take a stand to implement the 2nd Amendment against a tyrannical government take-over?
In a recent article about CENTCOM 's [Red Team]….intelligence analysts monitoring all social media, including Alt Right Media and reports like this….an overwhelming amount of lower grade military officers and enlisted support Trump, even though their superiors attempt to re-establish anti-Trump sentiments.
"Our republic rests on the important constitutional principle of civilian control of a non-politicized military. But the constant drumbeat of right-wing conspiracy theories and hateful political rhetoric has found its way into a sizable portion of the U.S. military's rank and file."
Activating the Marines would be specific to protecting the president and we know that Trump's extra security details comprise of U.S. Marines.
The rash of news reports and Trump's confirmation (tweet) and statements of a 'Coup' that's going "Hot" is a clear and present danger to the entire country which any event (soon) could cause a stock market crash, civil unrest and can easily evolve into a Civil War.
Rush Limbaugh
Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh said Friday that America is in the middle of a "Cold Civil War" and that President Trump is on the "cusp" of exposing corruption on Capitol Hill.
"The media is not media. It's just Democrats who work in the media, and the whole group of 'em is aligned. And what we are in the middle of now, folks, is a Cold Civil War," Limbaugh said on his radio show.
Based-on those facts…..it would be wise for a president to activate the military accordingly.
According to the latest military sources (see below) this activation of the military is specific to (1) protecting the president from assassination and/or arrest, (2) to limit civil unrest as a series of arrests begin with Deep State officials, beginning with FBI McCabe, followed by Comey during the initial phase and more arrests through 2020 up to October when Obama and Hillary Clinton could be arrested.
Will we possibly see the November 2020 elections delayed…..I'd say yes.
My analysis is as follows…….
The president and his administration are activating the military before the [DECLAS] is released very soon in-order to place personnel in key locations and begin coordinating with local law enforcement and other emergency agencies for the likely event of civil unrest soon, including the expected "Wall Street collapse if the Dems continue to push impeachment.".
There might be other factors we do not know about, but everything happening is serious and not just a routine call-up of Reserves. If true….we are seeing Martial Law going into effect.
Martial Law would be necessary in D.C. primarily if numerous Congress persons are arrested. 'Continuity of Government" would be an immediate priority in such a case.
As far as United Nations involvement at this stage of the game, we can look back over the decade when two key media figures [Hal Turner & Alex Jones] loaded us up with "U.N. operations on U.S. soil," including rail cars converted to prisoner cars, FEMA Camps going operational….and nothing happened. Possibly true, but limited to only two main media outlets and here it is again….surfacing with the latest Military Orders, of which (to their credit) originated with them.
Therefore…..stay alert and keep your eyes open for some very interesting things coming soon (maybe).

"There is absolutely NO foundation; NO reality; NO calling up military across America for any purpose at this time. Regardless of the reasons such a "Call-out" was to happen, there is NO basis in fact to such announcements. Mentioned directly below is an example of one such response I received from such a professional, and below the professional response is an email announcement I received with my one sentence request to the professionals to whom I sent the announcement." —Lyle Rapacki
I'm not sure how to frame this so I'll just come out and say it; whoever is perpetuating this message either is ill informed, has an agenda, or is attempting to inspire civil war in this country.
DSCA is something I have been directly a part of from the local municipality side and from the DoD side. DSCA is a means for DoD to quickly release resources during a disaster or emergency. Commanders have the ability to release DoD assets and resources for 72 hours without approval from higher echelons. Based on maintaining war fighting capability Commanders can release assets which do not impact their primary defense mission. During the initial request for support Commander's will submit DSCA requirements to higher DoD echelons in sync with the release of assets or personnel during the first 72 hours. This is done to inform, as well as facilitate resource requests that may exceed the initial release of assets during the 72 hours.
This is standard federal response to disaster or emergency.
The message you are referencing as Red Alert is is a review of established guidance and operations orders to ensure all levels of DoD understand the process of facilitating resource requests to civilian authorities. Although the message is focused on Marine Reserve Components, there is guidance just like this for every significant DoD asset that could be requested during time of disaster or emergency. If you are looking to throw fuel on the fire for those looking for a conspiratorial reason to insite things contrary to the constitution. This is as good a place to spin a story to match theories as any. On your referenced podcast, a gentleman of which appears offers some common sense to the subject stated this; (paraphrased) it's the dusting off of current guidance and directives pursuant to DSCA requests.
Those who know choose there words wisely – those who don't never cease to stop talking.
Hi Dave,
I'm glad you forwarded Lyle's assessment along with his friend's commentary. That was pretty much what my brother told me this afternoon. In addition, my brother said that if there was any civil unrest, the Marines wouldn't be the ones called up; it would be the Army.
The only time the Marines would be called up is if there was a nuclear threat such as locating a nuclear device etc. as that is their duty (mission) no matter where the nuclear weapon might be located in the world.
The Army would be the ones called up for any civil unrest within the US. That is what their mission is and, it would most likely be a MP division and not every battalion/division within the Army. I hope this makes sense to you.
Just got off the phone with my son and he said all is quiet in Pinal County. If there was anything brewing at all, he said they would have been notified and be on call or be told to be on the look-out for something.
Also, his son, my grandson (US Army), is stationed at Ft Leonard Wood, MO. He is currently in Sappor Training and waiting for a spot to open for Ranger School in January. My son talked with him this morning and there is nothing special going on with him either.
So, it sounds like a false alarm or disinformation being circulated at this time. Or, it's another way of desensitizing us to the fact that this might happened in the near future. —Jean R
Sender read that 10/17 is a date when US needs X Trillions in refinancing from Central Banks to keep afloat (e.g. 75B Repo market per day continues and is "ripped" by Jim Willie).
Sender believes that something is "up" wrt to re-financing needs rather that Mil action; i.e. maybe they can not keep liquidity in fiat system. Just speculating beyond foreign forces and/or Red Dawn type activities." —Steve (US Dover)

"The order coincides with other intel we're receiving about the illegal coup attempt against Trump going "hot." Mass hysteria in the media and a total censorship crackdown among the tech giants further underscores a coordinated, criminal coup taking place in America right now.
The lawless Dems and their deep state traitors are now trying to arrest or execute President Trump before they are all exposed as criminal traitors (in upcoming document releases from AG Barr and the IG report)."

GENTEXT/RMKS/1. Purpose. This MARADMIN cancels MARADMIN 300/14. In accordance with (IAW) REF A, this MARADMIN provides guidance for the activation of Reserve Component (RC) Marines under §12304a, Title 10, U.S. Code, following a request for Federal assistance in response to a major disaster or emergency within the United States. Requests for Federal assistance will come with little warning. As required, the Marine Corps must rapidly mobilize RC units and personnel IAW this MARADMIN in order to respond to threats in the Homeland.
2. Background
2.A. Per REF B, if a Governor requests Federal assistance in responding to a major disaster or emergency (as those terms are defined in §102 of REF C) the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) may, without the consent of the member affected, order any unit, and any member not assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit, of the Marine Corps Reserve to active duty for a continuous period of not more than 120 days to respond to the Governor's request.
2.B. IAW REF D, and as implemented in REF E, SECDEF delegated §12304a activation authority to the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) for mobilizations of 30 days or less. SECNAV's delegated authority may be exercised only after:
2.B.1. A Governor requests Federal assistance in responding to a declaration of a major disaster or emergency;
2.B.2. When directed by the President in support of (ISO) a request for assistance (RFA) from a primary Federal department or agency; or,
2.B.3. A request for forces (RFF) from the responsible Combatant Commander.
2.C. A Commander's Immediate Response Authority to save lives, prevent human suffering, or mitigate great property damage within the United States is set forth in REF A. Commanders shall comply with REF A, this MARADMIN, and any supplemental direction provided by higher headquarters.
3. Process. Upon SECDEF or SECNAV decision to invoke §12304a authority pursuant to REF A or REF D, activation process is as follows:
3.A. Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) unit
3.A.1. In response to Joint Staff validated RFA or RFF, SMCR units may be identified by Deputy Commandant Plans, Policies, and Operations (DC PPO) (POC) for sourcing through the Global Force Management (GFM) process.
3.A.2. Upon sourcing determination, §12304a activation packages prepared by DC PPO are submitted to SECNAV.
3.A.3. DC PPO (POC) nominated SMCR units, along with the Secretarial approved §12304a activation orders, are submitted to the Joint Staff for ordering by SECDEF via the Global Force Management Allocation Plan.
3.A.4. Deputy Commandant Manpower and Reserve Affairs (DC MRA), after consulting with Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs (ASN(MRA)) and other Headquarters Marine Corps agencies, releases any additional manpower policy guidance specific to the contingency to include Crisis Code and Unique Identifier.
3.A.5. DC PPO, in coordination with Commander, Marine Forces Command (COMMARFORCOM), directs Commander, Marine Forces Reserve (COMMARFORRES) to activate designated units via naval message, after the appropriate DoD decision.
3.A.6. IAW this message and amplifying guidance provided by DC MRA, the activation process at appropriate home training centers (HTC) is completed in preparation for follow-on movement.
3.A.7. A USMCR commanding officer activation report similar to the example within REF F will be released via naval message to announce activation is complete.
3.B. Marine Emergency Preparedness Liaison Officer (EPLO). REF A establishes Marine EPLO missions and functions, command relationships, and request and activation procedures.
3.B.1. IAW REF F and REF G, USNORTHCOM and USINDOPACOM requests EPLO activation through its USMC service component, Marine Forces North (MARFORNORTH) and Marine Forces Pacific (MARFORPAC). EPLOs are IMAs for the routing of Marine Resource Order Writing Service (MROWS) approvals.
3.B.2. MARFORNORTH/MARFORPAC submits §12304a activation request to DC MRA (Manpower Management Integration Branch (MMIB-2)) for SECNAV decision to involuntarily activate the individual EPLO Marines.
3.B.3. After SECNAV authorizes activation, DC MRA (MMIB-2) initiates and fund approves MROWS orders.
3.B.4. The Marine's parent command will authenticate the MROWS orders. COMMARFORRES authenticates MROWS orders for SMCR and IRR Marines and OpSponsors authenticate MROWS orders for IMA Marines.
3.B.5. MARFORNORTH/MARFORPAC provides reporting instructions relating to their duties. The Marine Corps Operations Center is notified upon completion of EPLO activation by DC MRA (MMIB-2) to DC PPO (POC).
3.B.6. Unless prohibited by SECDEF, an EPLO may volunteer under Title 10 U.S.C., §12301(d) authority in lieu of activation under §12304a to allow for a rapid response during the initial phases of the event. Funding source remains the same but benefits may differ.
3.C. Individual Augments (IA).
3.C.1. Global sourcing requests cannot be considered by DC MRA due to rapid deployment required to prevent loss of life and nonapplicability of dwell.
3.C.2. COMMARFORNORTH/COMMARFORPAC should consider using on hand Active Component (AC) and Active Reserve (AR) personnel to meet immediate IA requirements.
3.C.3. RC personnel can be sourced from the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) or Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) program with the involuntary activation authority residing with SECNAV and SECDEF. Send requests to activate RC individual personnel to DC MRA (MMIB-2) via Marine Corps Force Augmentation Process System (MCFAPS). DC MRA (MMIB-2) initiates and fund approves MROWS orders for IMA and IRR Marines, and the RC Marines' parent command authenticates orders.
3.C.4. DC MRA may order a Marine reservist to active duty with the Marine's consent pursuant to §12301(d). COMMARFORRES coordinates voluntary requests to activate and forwards requests utilizing the process within para 3.C.3. If individual SMCR volunteers are approved by COMMARFORRES and authorized by SECNAV to activate, DC MRA (MMIB-2) will coordinate with COMMARFORRES(G-1) to have the SMCR Marine's parent command initiate MROWS orders and DC MRA (MMIB-2) will fund approve. Parent command will authenticate.
4. Actions.
4.A.1. IAW REF F, release CMC notice of intent to activate ISO DSCA that includes applicable command relationships.
4.A.2. ICW MARFORCOM, determine appropriate sourcing for identified requirements and coordinate with SECNAV for activation approval if RC unit sourcing identified.
4.A.3. Coordinate with DC MRA and Deputy Commandant, Programs and Resources (DC PR) for feasibility of support for funding requirements.
4.A.4. If required, coordinate SECDEF waiver of 30 day notification for mobilizations in excess of 30 days.
4.B.1. Coordinate with DC PPO for submission of budget requests.
4.B.2. Provide activation funding controls to DC MRA prior to approval of MROWS.
4.B.3. Issue Special Interest Code (SIC) guidance for proper accounting of requirements.
4.C.1. Coordinate funding letter requirements for associated appropriation data with DC PR.
4.C.2. Confirm type activation status, crisis event code, associated Unique Identifier, and PERSTEMPO start date.
4.C.3. Ensure coordination is conducted with MARFORPAC and MARFORNORTH regarding the expected or planned RC IA mobilizations either in a voluntary or involuntary status.
4.C.4. Generate mobilization Monitored Command Codes (MCC) and Reporting Unit Codes (RUC) if needed.
4.C.5. Release naval message that consolidates any additional contingency specific activation information.
4.C.6. As required, act on delegated SECNAV authorities for volunteer mobilization orders under §12301(d) for the initial 72 hour Immediate Response Authority period IOT facilitate a rapid time-sensitive response. If SECDEF authorizes DSCA for a major disaster or emergency, the Service retains the authority to determine, based on operational and fiscal requirements, the type Title 10 voluntary or involuntary authority for MROWS orders to be utilized to support the DSCA event. §12301(d) authorities can be used for pre-positioning activities as part of the Immediate Response period, as well as carried forward through the actual DSCA.
4.C.7. Should a §12304a request for Marine EPLO activations be submitted, DC MRA (MMIB-2) will coordinate with SECNAV as requested by MARFORNORTH or MARFORPAC.
4.D.1. IAW REF A, coordinate the identification and sourcing of applicable RC capabilities for execution of DSCA missions as assigned.
4.D.2. IAW REF F, process and forward to PPO (POC) all requisite MARFORRES provided unit mobilization data.

4.G.2. Authenticate MROWS orders and provide reporting instructions.
5. Coordinating instructions.
5.A. Per REF H, mobilization-to-dwell ratios will not be considered for §12304a activations in either pre or post activation decisions.
5.B. Marines pending mandatory retirement will not be extended, but will retire as scheduled.
5.C. Marines pending involuntary separations (administrative separation/disciplinary action) will not be activated.
5.D. Retention.
5.D.1. Enlisted members without an end of current contract date that encompasses projected contingency period will not be activated. Requests for extensions can be submitted IAW REF I.

IAW REF J, if orders are executed from a Place Entered Active Duty (PLEAD), other than the primary residence, transportation allowances are authorized from the PLEAD to the duty location, and return to the PLEAD or primary residence. Beginning travel at a PLEAD other than primary residence may result in loss or reduction of transportation allowances.
5.G. For RC personnel with 16 or more years of total active duty service, refer to REF K for policies and procedures. However, due to the rapid nature of a DSCA event, those RC Marines requiring High Active Duty Time waivers and Waivers of Sanctuary Eligibility will not be considered, unless the DC MRA has already acted upon a prior request and the future period of duty is already contained within the approved timeframe of the prior High Active Duty Time request.
5.H. Per REF B, in no case shall mobilization exceed 120 days, to include individual skills training required for employment, and leave. Extensions in excess of 120 days for the purpose of using earned leave cannot be authorized.
5.I. In order to streamline activation where possible and IAW REF E, dental screenings ICW activation of Selected Reserve Marines are not required. However, current Physical Health Assessments (PHA) are required. MROWS hardholds for expired PHA will not be lifted. Current PHA must be reflected in Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) IOT activate Marines. For Marines known to be not deployable, disqualifying issues must be resolved before involuntary orders can be issued.
5.J. MCTFS Actions.
5.J.1. Mobilized for a period of 1-30 days
5.J.1.A. Report TTC 801 000 COMPL ACDUTRA (_)TO(_)TYPE(_)FLAG(_). The process by which a reserve member receives basic pay and crediting of retirement points during a period of active duty for 30-days or less is through the use of the In Progress Payment (IPP).

🇺🇸⭐⭐🇺🇸 Jeremiah 51:46 …violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
This prophecy being fulfilled before our very eyes.
TREASON. This is war. Prepare for every contingency. Never underestimate the enemy. This whole impeachment thing has violated every single rule, and law concerning impeachment. Therefore there is zero evidence the socialists will work within the law to go to senate trial. It is my considered opinion that they will just say there is no reason to bother with a senate trial. He is guilty. They will just charge the socialist loyalists in the NSA, CIA, and FBI to remove him forcefully from office. @ the very least they will have some skullduggery up their sleeve. President Trump supporters are not uneducated.
The players are rehearsing as we speak. Last two weeks of this month I will go through all my tools and attempted to get oil and filters for farm equipment as well as cars. The bummer will be the gas stations and how to purchase gas, or anything with limited money.
Something BIG is about to be released. Whether it is information on the SWAMP or information on rounding up citizens that have been tagged as enemies of TPTB.
In that case the will find a sleeping and unaware of their plans. Sad but true. I am old and really have trouble staying wake past 11:00.
I love our Constitution. I love our country. Just EVERYONE PLEASE PRAY.

Party Time(HKTDC Electronics, Vol 01,2008)
Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Spring Edition)
One of the world's fastest-growing electronics exhibitions celebrates its fifth anniversary this month
The HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Spring Edition) will hold its fifth birthday party at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 14-17 April 2008.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of last year's event, guest of honour Tim Freshwater said Hong Kong is an important international sourcing hub for electronics products, and the young fair has quickly emerged as the "must-attend" spring event for international buyers.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of last year's event, guest of honour Tim Freshwater said Hong Kong is an important international sourcing hub for electronics products, and the young fair has quickly emerged as the "must-attend" spring event for international buyers.
"Buyers are flocking to Hong Kong to source innovative products, do business and gather the latest market intelligence," Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) Member Mr Freshwater observed.
The industry outlook was promising, with total exports climbing 12% from January-September 2007 to top the US$17bn mark, thanks to local manufacturers' and exporters' sensitivity to changing market needs.
Mr Freshwater said applying a vertical integration strategy to manufacturing has sharpened the industry's edge. "From product design and development to tool-making, production and quality control, it's all being executed under one roof."
Runaway success
Nowhere is this observation more in evidence than at the HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Spring Edition), which has been a runaway success since its introduction as an extension of the proven HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) traditionally held in October each year.
The fair is a microcosm of global industry trends as well as a sourcing hub for many thousands of electrical and electronic products, while the International ICT Expo that runs concurrently is an added attraction for canny buyers that provides a wonderful opportunity to access vital technology and products.
Together the two shows have become unmissable events for electronics suppliers and buyers keen to source the very latest and best products from around the globe.
The HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Spring Edition) is an international sourcing platform, with more than 51,400 buyers from 153 countries and regions viewing the array of innovative products displayed by 2,406 exhibitors from 22 countries and regions in 2007.
This year's event will once again host exhibitors from all corners of the world, with the focus falling on the Hall of Fame, an attractively decorated section where design is the top priority.
Different kinds of electrical and electronic products showcasing excellent design and workmanship will be on display - many are designer collections and all carry high-profile brand names.
Latest styles
A Lighting Section that presents the latest styles will again cater for those electronics buyers who are also in the market for lighting products and systems.
Nowadays, lighting is as much about fashion as function and the Lighting Section is the ideal place to find new lighting designs and top-up inventory.
Numerous special zones that will return to further enhance the sourcing experience include:
Audio Visual
Electronic Accessories
Electronic Parts, Components and Production Technology
Healthcare Electronics
Home Appliances
Personal Electronics
Security Products
Telecommunications Products
Entertaining and informative industry conferences, seminars and forums, along with an attractive line-up of speakers, have also been organised in order to keep exhibitors and buyers abreast of the latest industry developments.
Business solutions
Meanwhile, the International ICT Expo, will feature business solutions providers with particular value for small-and-medium sized enterprises (SMEs).
This year, the fair will present the latest offerings by leading local and international information technology (IT) suppliers and software applications developers.
Five emerging ICT industry trends will be highlighted:
embedded software
IT outsourcing
retail technologies and RFID
Wi-Fi applications
games and multimedia
Several thematic zones will also represent important industry sectors, including Enterprise Solutions, Network & Mobility, Digital Living & Multimedia, Home-grown Innovations, IT Outsourcing, E-Logistics & Retail Technologies.
The International ICT Expo therefore looks certain to build on the success of last year's event, which attracted 576 exhibitors from 18 countries and regions and welcomed more than 22,760 buyers from 124 countries and regions.
Organised by the HKTDC, the two events at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre will certainly be cause for celebration for exhibitors and buyers alike.

Why Your Business Website Needs Search Engine Optimization
Have you ever wondered why some websites turn up at the top of any given search result while others are buried 10, 20, even 100 pages down? Savvy website creators use proven techniques to build websites that are highly visible to search engines, allowing the sites to achieve higher rankings. Techniques can be implemented on older websites, too, to boost their searchability. This complex set of techniques is referred to as Search Engine Optimization or SEO.
According to VeriSign, over 1 million new Web addresses are registered every month–that's over 40,000 per day. How do consumers find their way through all these sites? The answer is: search engines. Google, Yahoo!, and Bing are the big players in the search engine business and millions of people use them every day to find everything from stock tips to sports cars. Google alone boasts over 200 million searches every day, and that number keeps growing. One way to earn business away from the competition is to ensure that your website is one of the first your customer finds. Think about when you search for something using Google. Which results do you usually click on? Most likely on the first page, maybe on the second. If a site has relevant content and optimized landing pages, chances are you click-through on the first result. The point is, you rarely click on any links outside the top three, so that's where the value lies for businesses.
Consumers demand only the most relevant results, so search engines are constantly changing and refining the way they capture and categorize information on the Web. Let's go back to your Google search for a second. Whatever it is that you were looking for, you searched based on what made sense to you. Not everybody searches the same way, which means great SEO solutions are as much about searcher intent as they are about your business. The key is figuring out how your target audience perceives your business and then hypothesizing how that perception might manifest in their search queries. If you think that sounds like guesswork, then you'd be right.
Real SEO Solutions
WSI's expert Internet Marketing Consultants monitor and stay abreast of the engines' constantly evolving processes and implement techniques that promote top rankings for clients. The process of getting your site and content to the top of the search results is not as simple as choosing a word or phrase that best describes your business and optimizing for those terms. If only it were that easy. WSI's SEO solutions include competitor analysis, keyword research, content audits and on-page optimization. This mix gives you the best shot at ranking for search terms that are relevant to your business and also backed up by real search data that suggest people are looking for you. We offer expert SEO services as part of your new Internet Solution, or as an upgrade to your existing website. Using Search Engine Optimization results in targeted, qualified prospects finding your website, resulting in more prospects that turn into your next life-long customers. To discuss a traffic and profit generating SEO program for your website, contact us today.

Apple's event in Cupertino on Tuesday wasn't all about iPhones. CEO Tim Cook also took the stage to launch the company's new wallet-killer technology, ApplePay.
The new payment process works using NFC (near-field communication) technology, so all you have to do is hold your phone to a sensor at the cash register, then use TouchID to complete the process. ApplePay will be exclusive to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, because the new phones are equipped with the requisite NFC radio antenna.
+ ALSO ON NETWORK WORLD Apple introduces iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus +
Apple is opening an ApplePay API to developers in iOS 8, and will officially launch its wallet replacement as an update to the new OS next month. When ApplePay is available to use, simply take a photo of your credit card with your new iPhone, verify the card, then store it to Passbook. Apple is working with credit card companies American Express, MasterCard, and Visa, and six of the largest U.S. banks. Retailers on board include Macys, Walgreens, and Staples.
We'll have more details as we get them.
This story, "ApplePay aims to replace your wallet with an iPhone" was originally published by Macworld.

I think I might be the last person on earth to watch this docu-series on Netflix, and to be fair I just finished episode 9 so I still have one left, but I'm pretty positive that there won't be any happy endings and I won't be feeling any better after I finish it. I mean, a 17 year old kid just got sentenced to life in prison...
If you follow me on snapchat you've seen my daily struggles while I try to watch this show. It's eating me up. At times I swear I can feel my heart physically hurt, and I know I'm just a super emotional person to begin with (like cannot even watch the news) but there's more to it. I was okay with the first few episodes. Yeah I felt bad for Steven Avery, particularly the part when he had to leave his day old twin boys for 18 years in prison, and obviously the fact that he had to spend 18 years there for a crime he didn't commit in the first place. But I could handle that part. I wasn't crying over it. But when they introduced 16 year old Brendan Dassey, I had to keep pausing and was asking myself the same question I do when I try to watch the news, "is it better that I don't know about this?" I knew this would be something that made me want to cry long after I watched it, because all I could think about when I saw him was my little brother, Matt.
That picture is about a year and a half old, so he's a little bit older looking now. He's 15, a little bit rounder in the face, and without the Bieber swoosh. And maybe no one else would agree, especially without knowing him, but something about Brendan just reminded me so much of Matt. The dark hair. The teenage acne. (He will never read this blog, so not worried about him knowing I called him out on that. Besides, I still have acne, haha.) But more than that it was his behavior. The behavior and mannerisms of Brendan Dassey reminded me more than anything of my brother. He's super shy. Even when I try to talk to him, he gets all nervous and shy and can't look me in the eye and replies with a lot of one word answers and "I don't knows." And all I could do was imagine if someone took my brother out of school, questioned him the way they did to Brendan, how scared would he be? Would he react the same way? Guess at answers in hopes that he could just get out of there? To be honest, probably.
A few years ago, him and a friend were caught ("caught" might be a harsh word here) by the police with cigarettes in a parking lot behind a department store. The police made him call my Mom and he said sorry and more or less admitted it, but later he told my Mom that they weren't his and that he didn't touch them. And maybe he was telling the truth to her, and maybe he wasn't (I know I would have been lying) but I was just thinking of that and how he fessed up to the police and I'm guessing it's because he was scared. I'm sure in his eyes it's because he thought that's what he was supposed to do. Hell, even if most kids were guilty of doing something like that they would fight to the grave that they didn't do it. But he's just not like that. And on the other hand, if someone wanted him do something that he knew he wasn't supposed to do, for example like smoke cigarettes, I wonder, would he do it? Would he know how to say no? I'm not sure.
I think especially as a child, you don't exactly know how to stand up for yourself. You don't have so many of the tools that you would need in order to survive something like this. I don't even know if most adults do. It's too much. And what breaks my heart about this was that Brendan seemed to be alone. He didn't know how to fight for himself, and he didn't really have anyone fighting for him. (At times I wanted to strangle his Mom.) I'm still confused and shocked that they were able to treat him the way that they did in the first place. All the "you can trust us" crap and then completely turning against him. He was literally a child that got ganged up on. And all I can think about when I see Brendan Dassey is my little brothers innocent face and I feel this heartache thinking about his life being taken away from him at 16. It's not fair.
So, that's why I'm totally distraught over this show. I feel bad for Steven Avery too. I really do. But I think he has a much stronger personality so I'm not so worried about him. I think he will be okay. (Although I DO think he should have testified for himself. That was a mistake.) Who I'm worried about that kid who while detectives were questioning him about being involved in a murder case, was more concerned about turning in his project for 6th hour. The kid who when questioned what he did to her head, the worst he could come up with was "cutting off her hair?"
But I think like everyone else now, I'm hopeful that this documentary will bring new light to the case and that maybe these two (or at least Brendan, please for the love of god he's still young!) will get a second chance. And in the mean time I'll just keep texting my little brother that I love him while he probably thinks I'm c-r-a-z-y. (Which I am. At least emotionally crazy.)

The bus carrying the KU men's basketball team is on its way back to Lawrence from Oklahoma City.
According to Jim Marchiony, KU associate athletics director, the team bus left the Ford Center about 8:30 p.m. The trip takes about five hours depending on driving conditions. Roadways on the return trip were reportedly in decent shape, but the bus was taking its time.
There are no current plans for fans upon the team's arrival. Kansas fell to Northern Iowa Saturday night in the NCAA Tournament, ending its season.
Let's go support the team!
No thanks. Snowy and we just lost in the second round.
Way to be a fan BBN.
Hey bringbacknike, thanks for that post. Nice handle too. I've never been so sure that I wouldn't like someone having known so little about them as I am about you.
Shame on KU! If you don't want the fans to be whiny, why isn't a little ceremony planned? I just got a text from a friend, and they are snowed in OKC. Hmmmmm. May the drivers be skilled....bring everyone back safe.
It sucks that we lost, but it happened. The season was great, and we need to see Cole and Sherron one more time......
First of all, Sherron yes we need to see him. Cole, heck no, what has he done all year, NOTHING!!!! Cole was the biggest dud of '10. He had so much hype, but didn't do a thing. As far as X goes, NBA, I say NOWAY. This kid needs more time. I love the Jayhawks, but lets be honest, Cole was more of a hype then he proved to be all season long. Tonight came down to not being ready. Cole came back for a reason, to go down in history, well son, you will.....As one of the worst loses in NCAA history.
you call the big 12 defensive player of the year a dud?
if I was in Kansas, you know i'd be there.
we gotta support the hawks win or lose.
They blew it, that's why. Like it or not, this is a major embarrassment for our program. UK continues to cruise and we're done. Heck, we even let the president down. Don't expect to ever win another recruiting battle with Cal. We don't celebrate teams that don't get fired up for the NCAA tourney and then bow out early. They came out apathetic against Lehigh and then inexplicably did the same thing today. I know coach Self was leary of this team for its lack of killer instinct and he has to be so frustrated that he could just never get through to them.
Strikewso-the only good point about the loss was that it made 0bama look bad - again.
I frickin hate OKC
Hope they make it back safely with fans to greet them.
Does anyone else question Bill Self's NCAA tournament coaching ability aside from me? I know that he won the NC in 08 but other than that he has two first round exits and a second round exit in 7 tries at KU. His first year here we went out in the elite 8 with a team fresh off of a Title run. Last year was with new talent so I can excuse that, but I really do not think he is that great of a tournament coach. I believe that he is a fantastic coach and I'm not saying fire him or anything like that, but I'm kind of tired of early exits. A lot can be said about it being the teams fault because they did not get up for the game and it was their job to play but in my opinion the WAY a team plays is a reflection of the type of a coach they have. Next year we will still have a team that is completely capable of going to the National Championship so I honestly expect a very deep run into the tournament. I am not furious with self, this team or this loss. It happens to everyone at some time, but if it happens again next season that will be 4 first weekend exits to just one (hugely) successful run. We will have almost everyone back along with some more next year. We know SC is gone and Cole is more than likely gone also but X should come back not just for himself but for the chance to play with his brother again. SC and Cole are huge losses but we would still be stacked with talent. I really hope that Bill can prove me wrong on his NCAA tournament coaching ability and we will find out a year from now.
Strikewso- are you a fan? you sound like the National Championship meant nothing to you. So there was an early exit, but would you trade a trip to the final four this year for an exit in the final four in '08.. doubtful. Just saying, early exits happen to the best of 'em. And this was an elite team that just didn't have the best ending to their season, but three losses on the year isn't too bad if you ask me. Thank you Hawks for a great season of basketball. Proud to be a spectator.
oxcaljayhawk (anonymous) says… Strikewso-the only good point about the loss was that it made 0bama look bad - again.
yeah, okay. First, it's just a game. Second, you have to be a real fool to want what's bad for the president. If you don't agree with his ideas, fine. But the inability to separate the person from policy shows a vast amount of ignorance and pettiness.
That said, the game was a disaster. The players played with no passion yet again, and their sense of entitlement caught up with them finally.
Bill's contract should be re-negotiated: whenever you get bounced by any team 5 seeds lower than you or more, you can make no more $ than that school's coach.
Good recruiter, but he is one John Calipari-ordered-foul from being a famous underachiever.
Get your boys ready to play. This is the third time.
For some reason I just don't blame Self. He knew this team had issues and he's been hinting at it for a while, if not coming right out and saying it. I think he did everything he coul to get this team motivated, they just didn't have it. They jseemed to not grasp the opportunity they had and its importance. It all started with Morningstar's DUI. He was supposed to be a leader and he's off breaking curfew and getting sauced during Boot Camp. Xavier is just guest help and never seemed to be a real member of the team, and Taylor's not quite with it upstairs. They didn't have that something special that champions have. Even if we had won, we had major problems. UK won their game today by 30 points and were up 30 at the half in their first game. We never played like a one seed in our two games.
Americans love a winner and HATE a loser but the Jayhawks aren't losers. They have a record and a place in college basketball other schools would cut off their right arm for. Last night UNI left everything on the floor and KU didn't it's that simple. Easy to point the finger at the players or coaches but it was great season with great memories. Time to move on, there's always next year.
The last numerous games this team came out sluggish and appeared non-interested in playing. Why? What happened? Were there issues amongst themselves? Sadly, they have only themselves to be upset with.
With all the high emotion displayed at the end of the game if they could have used that and channeled it at the beginning and not dug a hole for themselves the result would likely have been different. Just because they felt they were the better team didn't mean squat. This team was never sufficiently challenged when they needed to be.
Hopefully, this will be a lesson learned by them. Just because the front of the jersey says Kansas doesn't win games. Playing like you want to win does.
Sherron? You are such a big time gamer. You are da man. I love you like a son. You did KU proud.
Note to Lawrence City Council:
Impose a law authorizing anyone wearing purple to be taken down by any means necessary!
Barney should be banned from all childrens toy stores and book stores.
The Turnpike should have purple detecting dogs at the exits to Lawrence and K10 should build checkpoints to deny anyone wearing purple from entering Lawrence.
Finally, the University of Kansas Athletics Department should protest any post season games where teams starting with B or teams that wear purple are our opponents.
C'mon, this tourney is all that matters. They are losers. It's sad because I love KU and am a diehard fan, but that's just the fact. By this afternoon no one nationally will be talking about KU and this team and all of its potential will be forgotten forever.

I had a bit of free time today, so decided to make another video featuring the All About books.
This time the video is about the Street Fighter III: New Generation books, although I'm not quite a fan of the SF3 series I do quite like these books and the artwork from the game.
The narration is a bit off in places as I found a problem using a video recorded with the iPad in that the sound doesn't convert at all when using Movie Maker. So I had to re-record the narration with Movie Maker.
The image quality is a lot better than my previous video though, so at least next time I'll be a bit more prepared since I know that I'll have to record the narration separately next time.
I think for my next video I'll be doing both SF Zero books at the same time.

|This article is about a/an episode in Tensou Sentai Goseiger.
The Miraculous Gosei Headder Great Assembly (ミラクル・ゴセイヘッダー大集合 Mirakuru Gosei Heddā Daishūgō) is the twelfth episode of Tensou Sentai Goseiger. It features the first appearance of Hyper Gosei Great.
When the Goseiger become too worked up when both Mons Drake and Dereputa come down to destroy Earth, Master Head pulls them away to force them to discover what is on their side.
Refusing to waste more of his time with the Goseigers, Mons Drake decides to go to Earth personally to use technique he and Dereputa used on to destroy countless worlds before. Reflecting on how he joined Warstar's high ranking members, Dereputa proceeds to set up the area for Mons Drake's plan. Arriving, the Gosei Angels transform and battle Dereputa but he separates Gosei Red from the others for Mons Drake to fight. With the Goseigers defeated, and unable to use their Gosei Power after Dereputa tells them off for being out of their league, Master Head intervenes and spirits the Goseigers off. Ending up back at the Amachi Astronomical Institute, after Datas snaps them out of their confusion, he presents the Goseigers a message from the Master Head about combining all of their powers to save the Earth and regain their Gosei Powers. By then, Mons Drake has Dereputa stab him in order perform the Gravity Fall ceremony to pull the Moon closer into Earth's gravity, threatening all life on the planet. After communing with their respective elements to regain their Gosei Power from the Earth itself by remembering their purpose, the Gosei Angels regroup to seal Mons Drake's powers to save the Earth before joining Gosei Red in defeating Dereputa. By the time Mons Drake breaks free from the attack, Dereputa is hit by a Gosei Dynamic and is forced to fall back. Enraged by his defeat, Dereputa loses his composure and demands that Buredoran send Bibi Bugs to make him become a giant in size. The Goseigers form Gosei Great, with Datas Hyper arriving to help, but the robots cannot defeat Dereputa. Remembering the Master Head's message, Gosei Red summons the Skick, Landick, and Seaick Brothers to combine with Gosei Great and Datas Hyper to form Hyper Gosei Great. With their combined powers, Hyper Gosei Great performs the Hyper Headder Strike and destroys Dereputa. With the Earth safe from the Warstar forces once more, the Goseigers rest under the shade of a tree, thanking the Earth for helping return their powers.

This week takes the ever-dwindling group to Italy, where they engage in super culturally-relevant activities such as lie detector tests and answering fan mail! I don't know about you guys, but I felt the Italian vibes coming off the TV in waves!
Nick V. Date: Salty to Sweet
Andi chooses Nick for a one-on-one, ostensibly to "grill" him about what happened with the guys last week, i.e. she wants to make out with him for a few hours and this is the perfect excuse.
I do have to say that this seems like some negative reinforcement (thank you, AP Psych) on Andi's part: Nick acts like a whiny toddler on the group date last week, so she gives him a one-on-one? I would have put Nick in a proverbial time-out by intentionally including him on yet another group date as a test to see whether he can change his salty, salty ways, not rewarded him with coveted alone time!
Nick V., so salty right now. Nick V.
There's a gondola ride, some smooches, and a lot of what I've decided to term Andi's patented "downward duck" face: it's like duck lips, but turned downward into a semi-frown, and she tends to pull it out whenever she's asking the "tough questions." Which here constitute Andi demanding to know WHAT THE F**K HAPPENED LAST WEEK WHEN YOU CALLED CODY THANKFUL. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? WHY, YOU MONSTER?
If Nick came off a little self-congratulating on last week's episode, this time he's all about the downcast eyes and bashful grin—someone's had quite the large slice of humble cannoli since he was boasting about being a frontrunner! By dinnertime Andi drops the pretense of being angry with Nick, and the two commence with the goo-goo eyes, topped off by a declaration from Nick that he's defs falling in love with her.
The night ends with some slow dancing courtesy of a few dudes plucking at some instruments—is this the Italian equivalent of the failed pop stars we're usually treated to for these serenades? Che magnifico!
Group Date: Truth Hats Are On!
This where the episode really started to lose me—two terrifying men in dark suits administering lie detector tests to the group, in what looks like an ancient dungeon. Um. Fun.
Andi gamely agrees to go first—such a trooper—where she bravely answers questions that she DEFINITELY didn't pre-approve before being asked. The guys all follow in turn, and we're treated to some tidbits about them that I never needed to know, such as the adorable and endearing fact that Dylan doesn't wash his hands after he goes to the bathroom (?!?!?). Wow. If I wasn't completely charmed by Dylan's multifaceted, brilliant personality before, I'm sold now. Dylan makes an early exit from the group date with what might be a tummy-ache, or gonorrhea—we aren't sure, because he's apparently lost his ability to speak and just gestures vaguely to different parts of his body when Andi asks him what's wrong. Someone's clearly rushing back to the hotel for the free cable and room service.
After all of the guys endure the lie detector tests, Andi makes a big show of ripping up their results to show the guys that she DOES trust them! So let's review: she makes these poor guys sit through what seems like hours of lie detector tests to see whether she can trust them, and then proceeds to rip up the tests because she trusts them? If I was one of the guys, I'd smack her, that's honestly so annoying. But the guys all melt over this gesture, except for Josh M., who has relieved Nick V. of the "Group Date Poutypants" title and has now decided he's disappointed that Andi doesn't seem to trust them. He tells her as much at the cocktail party, and she goes on the uber-defensive and is like "Well, what are you trying to hide? A cloud of doubt has just descended over me" #doubtcloud. Bad move, J.
The best part of the date was Andi trying not to look disappointed when she finds out Farmer Chris has been the one penning her those disgustingly sappy, anonymous love letters. I think it's hilarious and am also more than a little impressed/surprised that he's capable of composing full sentences. Chris duly receives the group date rose, which prompts JJ to complain about the fact that the guys congratulate each other when one of them gets a rose—well NO MORE false cheer from JJ, so there! Honestly, how many of the guys are on the rag this episode?! This feels like my bunk in summer camp when all our cycles synced up.
Cody Date: Bad Dog
Oh, Cody. Cody, Cody, Cody. I adore this bro, but he doesn't have a steaming shot in hell of nabbing Andi's heart. Going into this date, Cody has the two fatal Bachelor Franchise strikes working against him: 1. This is his first one-on-one with Andi, five weeks into the competition, and 2. He's the only guy who hasn't kissed her yet. Even Brian, who I've started referring to exclusively as "The Blob," has managed to manipulate the muscles in his mouth enough to land a few sloppy smooches. Also, earlier in the episode, Cody referred to himself as the "pet dog" of the group. Cody, how can she take you seriously when you're willingly equating yourself to a canine?
The pair kick off their date at the Juliet Club, a society that basically answers fan letters to the spirit of the Shakespeare chick who never existed in real life. What? They start wading through a pile of letters, and "coincidentally" happen upon two that are, you guessed it: All. About. Love. My favorite part is when Cody manages to keep a straight face when reading a letter from a "guy" (read: Bachelor Intern) expressing his unrequited love for a girl who barely knows he exists. Cody pens a response to him, and in Extremely Patronizing Schoolteacher Mode, Andi squeals "Cody! That's AMAZING!" and gives him a high-five.
But poor Codes just isn't taking the hint! Hours go by, and even though it's so beyond obvious that Andi couldn't be less interested in him romantically, he thinks the date is going swimmingly. Not even average, but like AWESOME. It's actually a bit sad to watch, as Cody practically skips around while Andi checks her watch and is like, how long until I can bounce and go suck face with Nick V. again?
The dog sh*t really hits the fan at dinner, when in a nod to their Shakespearean-themed afternoon, Cody writes his OWN "unrequited love" letter and then launches into an extended soliloquy about his feelings for Andi, and we watch her go from mildly disinterested to confused to flat-out horrified. Thanks to some terrific editing by the Bachelorette production team, here's how it goes down:
Cody: I just want to be with you—
Andi: Nods non-committedly and picks at her food
Cody: like, I just want to kiss you—
Andi: Silent, eyes widen slightly in alarm as she stares resolutely down at her plate
Cody: I just want to ROLL AROUND with you—
Andi: Eyes almost explode out of her face, Downward Duck emerges
Cody: like, I want to take you to Chicago—
Andi: Downward Duck morphs into Twisted Grimace
Cody: and have you meet my family—
Andi: Eyes start to well up in blind panic
Cody: because if you keep me around, you're in trouble—
Andi: OMG, this guy is going to kill me in my sleep
Cody: because you're going to love me, because—
Andi: Stabs herself with her own steak knife
I'm just kidding, but she does effectively shut him down and send him home right then and there, on the premise that she feels like they're just friends. To her credit, she's doing a lot of crying because she clearly feels bad putting a preemptive end to the only time Cody will ever travel outside the U.S., but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Cody's super dejected—and, I hope, at least moderately embarrassed—as he heads to the van. Corresponding gasps ensue from the other men when a porter pops in to grab Codes's luggage, and I can totally empathize, you guys; I would be devastated if my dog died, too.
Rose Ceremony
Nick V. manages to alienate the group once again when he dares to steal Andi away for some alone time, despite the fact that he already has a rose! The NERVE! This is an age-old Bachelor/ Bachelorette disagreement, and a perpetually stupid one: the roseless always get pissed when a rosed (?) contestant takes up too much time on ceremony night. But like, get over it, this is a competition! JJ, Mr. I'm-Not-Congratulating-Anybody-Unless-They-Buy-A-Pair-Of-Pants, should understand this competitive mentality better than anyone, and yet here he is again just whining away. Farmer Chris is preening because he's NOT taking time with Andi tonight, since he already has a rose… ah, yes, failing to take advantage of the very few and far between opportunities to speak privately with Andi and strengthen your connection. You go, Farmer Chris!
Alas, the rose ceremony approaches, and is it a coincidence that JJ goes home the same exact night he weirdly resembles an unkempt axe murderer? I was terrified. Inexplicably, Brian the Blob is saved, and Dylan lives to demonstrate questionable bathroom hygiene for another week!
In the next episode, the group is on to Brussels—if we got a lie detector test in Italy, what can we expect this go-around? An impromptu LSAT at the Atomium? A dental checkup (that Dylan would surely fail, let's face it) at the King Baudouin Stadium? Be sure to tune in next week to see what happens in the place voted Most Boring City on the Continent in a survey conducted by TripAdvisor in 2008!
