I've been fairly fortunate this time around, as of the twenty-one Companions who have returned, are confirmed to return, and are rumoured for return (Rusk, Skadge, and Zenith) from this season, only five of which are those which I have irrevocably disliked. Of the ones we've gotten back, these are Broonmark, Kaliyo, and SCORPIO, and of the rumoured ones these are Skadge and Zenith.
Otherwise, I have positive things to say about virtually every other remaining Companion we've seen so far, and if I don't actually like them, I can at least tolerate them. Notably, whilst I wouldn't say I liked Torian or Yuun, I can still name several more Companions whom I dislike more than them.
So of course, it's time to talk about those Companions who I'm not looking forward to reuniting with in the next season(s).
At this point, people familiar with the blogging world of SWtOR should start to see where this is going. Didn't Shintar already do something sort-of similar on this "yet-to-return Companions" theme on Going Commando? Yes, she did, and it is just another case of coincidental timing on my part that I happened to have a similar (if somewhat more pessimistic) idea earlier on the exact same day, so now it looks like I'm shamelessly stealing her idea.
I'll play safe and say that it's fair play for my inspiring her original post on the Companions that she'd like to keep with my own take on the matter and say that she inspired this one in-turn with her newest post.
"Turnabout is fair play" applies in the blogosphere, right?
I'll start with the Empire because, hey, there are slightly more Companions to talk about here!
The Hunter and Agent both get a free pass on this one. Mako, Temple, and Vector all share the same position of my neither liking nor disliking them, something which I'm quite satisfied to say to be honest. I am interested in seeing how Vector and Temple's careers in the Imperial hemisphere have evolved, and having an Imperial Diplomat and fully-fledged (Sith) Intelligence Operative on our side could be very useful in gaining a new perspective on the intricacies of both systems.
That's actually a good side point; since Imperial Intelligence was dissolved and Sith Intelligence took its place, we have no idea how it operates outside of the code-names apparently having been abolished. Agent Rane Kovach from Ziost was a special case in more ways that one, of course, but he could also have been indicative of how the system now runs more leniently than before.
Moving on.
Ashara Zavros
Okay, I'll say it now. Ashara, Jaesa, and Nadia are all going to be on this list, and largely for the same reasons barring some individual circumstances which I'll go into more detail with them both later.
All three of them in some way feel very much like basic alterations of the naive female apprentice and love interest tropes. Ashara, in fact, is very much the most bold and outspoken of these three, but she loses points because even her (annoyingly inconsistent) perspective can be fooled by simple wordplay by the Inquisitor.
I must admit that I do feel a little guilty putting Ashara on this list because of the three, her story is the one that I am most interested in seeing play out in the later expansions. Similarly to Light Jaesa, Ashara can be made to believe that she is helping to reconstruct the Sith Empire from within, but she is actually critical of Jedi who - for whatever reason - cannot see the reasoning behind her "just behaviour".
Whilst Light Jaesa can be potentially recalled more easily to the side of the Jedi given that her powers can unearth the evil of the Sith as a whole, Ashara is going to be a bit more of a slippery fish. Heck, she could become a Gray Jedi of sorts, unwilling to commit to either side unless she can see good reason for it. Even if she is convinced of her righteous path and how the Jedi are holding truths from her, she still bashes the Inquisitor when a group of Sith slaughter a group of Jedi, so she's not likely to commit fully to that side either.
Of course, we've already had a Togruta Gray Jedi dual-wielder become very popular recently, so there is a very good chance of this happening, although I would have very much preferred it if Ashara did all this on her own merits and not because that blasted nuisance Ahsoka got there first.
Jaesa Willsaam
In many ways, Light Jaesa is doomed from the start. With Ashara being the most likely candidate for Gray Jedi status and both Nadia and Kira being actual Jedi, having a Light Jaesa would make the faction 'split' very one-sided, with the only absentee "Sith Representative" Companion being Lord Scourge, and he isn't exactly going to be in the best books among the Sith...
It would be a shame if this means that Light Jaesa is all but eliminated, since including no less than four Jedi Companions was a choice which was made right at the outset. However, if Light Jaesa is to be discounted, then this leaves us with Dark Jaesa.
By Dark, this of course means over-acting, being childish, and the sort of villainess you'd see in a really bad amateur production. Because who'd want a clever and self-aware Dark character when you can have one who's just really over-the-top crazy?
Because some people like to challenge the "never do the nasty with crazy" warning, Dark Jaesa is often chosen because this is the only way to romance her, which of course means that she is often likened to a psychotic, jealous, and possibly-ex, girlfriend as a simple way of describing her personality. Not exactly a glowing endorsement!
Additionally, if she is relegated to being the Sith Representative - again, depending on Scourge's standing - then her story can have little to no variation. Regardless of whether you left her as Light or Dark, she'll still be serving the Sith in this scenario. I'd love to say that she's freed from this, but I also can't see how else we're going to get an "impartial" Sith Companion given Scourge's precarious circumstances.
Whilst I do admit that it would be interesting to know how she uses her special "sensing of the truth of a person's character" power to survive and especially what she'll see if she uses it on the Outlander if Valkorion is still with us, even so much as thinking this makes you realise that outside of the build-up and the conclusion to Chapter I of the Warrior story, this special character-defining power has never resurfaced in any significant way since then, if at all.
Malavai Quinn - Warriors Only
Quinn is often lumped together with Skadge as the Companion most people would like to throw out of an airlock, and this is perfectly understandable from a Warrior's point-of-view.
This is as far as my own dislike of him ends. No other character knows of his betrayal of the Wrath, so to say that "x character will kill him because of what he did to the Wrath!" is a very meta statement indeed.
I can see the advantage of him joining with an Agent in particular, as his various connections to the Army and Navy make him a valuable asset for them (indeed, I'd be willing to wager that the Agent has the strongest team which can be constructed from other Class Companions), and his all-round experience should make him a worthy ally.
I must state again that Quinn is definitely not getting off the hook for Warriors, as he still deserves a lightsaber blade through any and every orifice.
Much like the Hunter and Agent, the Knight and Trooper receive a free pass. Doc and Rusk are both tolerable Companions, Scourge is still one of the most interesting Companions they've included, and Elara and Kira were both on my "must-keep" list from way back when. Indeed, Kira is the only Companion one of my characters has ever retrieved from the Terminal.
I am of course assuming that Tanno Vik has been given a final farewell as of Chapter VI even for those who didn't kill him, since that would at least have given that character a decent semblance of closure.
Anyway, moving on.
Nadia Grell
Oh, Nadia. It had to come to this eventually.
Compared to Ashara, who does gain a fair bit of her own personality in the process, Nadia is just basically a copy-and-paste of the naive apprentice trope with very few variations. Most of this naivety can, admittedly, be attributed to her not being well-versed with the workings of the galaxy at large, but this still manages to bleed through in other contexts as well.
Notably, and thankfully subverted instantaneously, there's a conversation option where the Consular can attempt to persuade her that a good Padawan cleans her master's quarters. Unfortunately, the manner in which she shuts this down is not based on her own understanding or backbone, but is instead due to Master Satele previously telling her not to listen to such 'advice' and to throw it back in the Consular's face.
I'm all for subverting ways to exploit naivety, as it can effectively show a character's wit and backbone, but it should not be done whilst using yet another character's words as the driving force. The very fact that Satele actually had to explain this to this girl is indicative of her personality and the sort of 'things' which could otherwise be exploited by the Consular as a result. You can almost guarantee that if Nadia were male, this wouldn't even have been an option.
Thankfully, the Rishi snippets for the Consular suggest that Nadia does begin to show improvements in this regard as the in-game events have gone on, but it's a development which we rarely ever see in-full until then, which I feel is a real shame. Maybe the disappearance of the Consular will have triggered a significant maturation in her, and I might actually be singing her praises in the future.
I do hope so.
Corso Riggs
In true list-fashion, I've saved the worst for last!
Corso starts off as being a bit of a charming doofus; the kid who says things he shouldn't but awww he's just so sweet and chivalrous it hurts!
Unfortunately he shows little to no improvement from this as time goes on, and his chivalry actually makes him something of a hypocrite and a liability several times. He'd happily pull a gun on Syreena and an injured unarmed Separatist, but he'd disapprove of insulting Skavak's "honeybunch" who lures his friend into a trap, not to mention hating them for having a go at that one character on Corellia?
Make up your mind, man!
This attitude becomes even more apparent if you're unfortunate enough to enter into a romance with him. Indeed, he actually seems to be the most sexist of all the Companions, which really doesn't make this farmhand endearing at all.
It comes to something when I've made Calph enter into a romance with the professional whiner-for-hire Koth and I honestly believe that I've got a better deal with that chump than the actual Class Romance. Eurgh.
Oh, and Corso's also an unbearingly naive character at times as well. We've got only one noticeably-naive male, and he's just as bad, if not worse, than the other naive characters on the list. We definitely need more aggravatingly-naive males to throw onto the bonfire, though, BioWare!
It was nice to do a reversal of my previous post on this matter, which focused very positively on the missing Companions, even if certain Companions managed to prevent me scoring 100% on correctly predicting Companions who actually returned in the first season.
I'm pleased to say that only five of the yet-to-return Companions have made it into the dislike list. Unfortunately, they're all Romance Companions, which means that they'll be unavoidably recruited in the main story. Those like Broonmark, Skadge, and Zenith are easier to deal with since these are simply Alliance Alerts and could actually not be recruited, whilst story Companions are much harder, if not impossible, to avoid recruiting.
Suffice to say that so far every single Character who has progressed past Chapter XIII has banished Kaliyo, with two even killing her, and I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever.
Yes, this does include the Sniper. That blasted Rattataki's betrayed her several times over, so it's about time to enact that "turnabout is fair play" policy I mentioned previously, right?

The council new-build and renovations to sheltered housing has, in my opinion, a major fault in the design and layout.
Only the lounge and bedroom have windows, which means no natural light into the kitchen, so all of us pensioners will need to use more electricity to light the kitchen.
Surely we don't need a window in the bedroom as most people just use that room at night.
There is still time for the council to change the layout.

In the Ossola Mountains between Switzerland and Lake Maggiore, Canova has long been a small village away from the tourist routes, abandoned year after year by the villagers who left to work abroad in big cities. Peace and silence reign supreme: the only noise you hear is the gurgling stream flowing between the stone houses before pouring into the Toce River.
In 1993, the American globetrotter Ken Marquardt and his wife Kali arrived in this valley during a Grand Tour of Italy. A native of Arkansas, carpenter and ancient buildings expert, Marquardt immediately fell in love with the tiny medieval village forgotten in the green setting of the Alps. He decided to live in this remote corner of Piedmont: he purchased a home and restructured it. Then he bought other ruins and gradually created around him a circle of friends, artisans and families of Italian and Swiss virtuosos. Together they restored the tiny mountain village to its former splendour, turning it into a self-sufficient community of solidarity.
In 2001, Ken Marquardt founded Canova, the association for the enhancement of stone vernacular architecture. It takes its name from the village of Canova and today, 15 years later, it has become a case study that is appreciated internationally. "It was and still is a very stimulating challenge," confirms Marquardt. Together with his team he has saved from destruction many historic buildings that had largely collapsed and were no longer habitable. The success of his personal experience convinced him to create, like a mountaineer Fitzcarraldo, a kind of WWF of stone architecture that has subscribers all over the world. Canova's recovery projects involve local institutions, technical schools and the most important faculties of architecture worldwide.
Anyone can join the association: not only architects, engineers and designers but also ordinary people who are passionate about restoration and want to explore the issues related to the recovery of historic buildings. Since 2009 the association has also organized several summer schools reserved for college students to explain "live" the art of building with stone. The courses are held in Ghesc, a handful of medieval buildings hidden in a forest of ash trees and oaks not far from Canova, where students can "learn by doing." They are taught by professors from the universities and also by local stonemasons, bricklayers, blacksmiths and carpenters. Recently, a workshop on the recovery of terraced landscapes was organized with Politecnico di Torino, but the association also collaborates with the Yestermorrow Design/Build School of Vermont, the Universities of Oregon and North Carolina and the Willowbank School of Restoration Arts in Ontario, Canada.
These workshops have added weeks of open work for volunteers: in exchange for food and accommodation, the subscribers participate in the work of restructuring Ghesc, and during the evening they take part in cultural events ranging from theatre to dance, music and storytelling. "The Ghesc village laboratory is another example of how you can create virtuous networks among young people, teachers and craftsmen and curb the savage process of demolition by mixing traditional materials and sustainable building techniques," says Maurizio Cesprini, Secretary of Canova. Together with the architect Paola Gardin, Canova has renovated the sixteenth house in Ghesc, Casa Alfio. It is another example of eco-architecture using local wood and stone, lime and sheep's wool for insulation.
In 2013 the Canova Association was selected for the prestigious H3 project of the Fondation d'Entreprise Hermès. The foundation funds non-profit associations that hand down skills to new generations and preserve fragile ecosystems. Soon after that came another important contribution from the Compagnia di San Paolo of Turin. Among various experiments, in 2015 the Canova team started another pilot project for the cultivation of Alpine hemp according to ancient tradition in the terraced fields of Baceno, Masera and Montecrestese. The aim is to recreate a local supply chain for the production of oil, textiles, paper, plaster and building materials.
Interest in the format created by Canova continues to bring architects and designers of international calibre to the valley in June to serve as visiting professors and lecturers at the annual Canova Architect Encounter. Over the years, the participants have included Glenn Murcutt, the Australian architect who won the Pritzker Prize in 2002; the renowned Swiss duo Herzog & de Meuron; Salma Samar Damluji, a leader in the field of preservation of architecture in mud and clay and board member of the prestigious Da'wan Mud Brick Architecture Foundation; and Bruce Mau, a close collaborator of Renzo Piano.
"The speakers of the International Architect Encounter pay for the journey out of their own pockets — their expenses are not reimbursed," explains Ken Marquardt. "For four days they are our guests, they live with us, they are fascinated by our dynamism and our simplicity. And, above all, they value our ethical approach to architecture, which combines technical, practical skills and visionary instinct." On this basis, "we like to think that the village of Ghesc is becoming the first of many other traditional architectural salvage yards to open in Italy and in the world," adds Cesprini, citing the example of the architect Renato Vivaldi. In Sabina, 50 km from Rome, Vivaldi was inspired by Canova to launch a project to recover a medieval settlement. "Our challenge is not to create archaeological parks but to return our built heritage to real life," says Marquardt. "This is the seed that we have found, and we are cultivating it in the stones of the homes in the Ossola Mountains."

How to Delete Notifications on Facebook
Facebook is the most widely used social media platform today. As of the fourth quarter of 2015, this social networking site had 1.59 billion monthly active users.
To communicate with these users, Facebook sends notifications via email or text for almost every possible interaction on its website, but at times, there can simply be too many notifications, and people wonder how to delete notifications on Facebook, so that they don't wake up to hundreds of them every morning!
These notifications are intended to alert you if you've got a new message, if you were mentioned in a post, if you were tagged in a photo or comments on your wall among other things.

These are meant to keep you updated with all that is happening among your known circle, but at times, too many notifications can get really annoying for Facebook users, especially those who're part of hundreds of groups, and keep receiving replies on dozens of threads every hour.
For those of you wondering whether you can really do something to stop Facebook notifications, here's some help, and quick remedies to get rid of these annoying alerts.
There are several groups on Facebook both open and closed. If you are a member of some of these groups, then notifications can get annoying incredibly fast. Whenever you join a new group on Facebook, you're automatically subscribed to all notifications by default. So, every time someone posts something to that group, your notification feed gets littered with unnecessary alerts.

You have a huge task at hand then and you start wondering how to delete notifications on Facebook and how to turn off Facebook notifications so that you don't get it in future. You also see these interactions when you log in to Facebook account.
If you wish to turn off Facebook notifications, you can opt out by editing your notification settings. Pop-up notifications that appear while you're logged in can be deleted immediately, but you can still get rid of them, by following these simple steps.
How to Delete Notifications on Facebook in 7 Simple Steps
The most annoying notifications are for dumb games people want you to play, or updates about these games in their home feed. So, let's get to the basics and see how to stop notifications on Facebook.
Step 1: Log in to your Facebook account using your user id and password.
Step 2: Click the "Account" link, located at the top right corner of the page. Click "Account Settings" from the drop-down list that appears. The "Account Settings" page is displayed.
Step 3: Click "Notifications" from the menu on the left side of the page; following this, "Notifications Settings" page gets displayed.
Step 4: Scroll down to the "All Notifications" section of the page. You will find a list of notifications types each with a check box next to it. They will be under the Email column or the mobile column.
Step 5: You can also minimise a number of notification emails you get with one click, by choosing to get just the important updates and summary emails. Just check in the box, which says "Only notifications about your account, security and privacy".
Step 6: Click the checked box next to each notification type you wish to remove. This will relieve you from receiving the selected notification. Here you need to be specific and look in detail. For instance, you might want to know what people say about the links you post, but you could happily not notice when people share your links on their wall or when other people comment on links you've commented on. So, you need to choose wisely what you want and what you don't.
This is what would really stop a lot of unwanted notifications from coming your way, and reduce the pain by a good extent.
Step 7: Save changes whenever asked to make sure that your choice is registered. This will ensure that you get notifications related to only your areas of interests and nothing else.
Now if you are wondering how to clear notifications on Facebook, here is how you can do it.
Step 1: Log in to your Facebook account
Step 2: If you have any unread notification, you will see some red numbers on the globe icon on the upper right side. This is the number of notifications you have.
Step 3: Click on the globe icon to bring down a list of notifications you received from the last time you logged in.
Step 4: In case you click on 'See all' at the bottom, it will display all notifications you received in the past few days.
Step 5: Scroll down the page to locate the notification you want to delete.
Step 6: Move the cursor to the right side of the notification. An "X" will appear. Click on the "X" and a "Turn Off" button will appear.
To remove the notification from the list permanently and to stop getting any future notification from the source, click on the "Turn Off" button. The notification will be removed from the list.
In case you don't want notifications from groups and don't want random posts from those groups showing up in your news feed, you'll have to disable notifications and unfollow that group. Unfollowing simply means that their posts will not appear in your news feed. It does not in any way means that you have deleted them, just that you have managed to stop facebook notifications.
You can still go to that person's or group's page and see the posts if you want.
If you want to know how to delete Facebook notifications on the app then you should know that as of now it is not possible to clear your notifications list on the Facebook app. You can, however, adjust your notification settings on the app

There are some official notifications from Facebook, which you cannot delete. For the rest, it's worth pruning your notifications to suit your needs as it saves you from unnecessary junk notifications hounding your Facebook account.
We hope that you'd have picked up everything you'd need to know about learning how to delete notifications on Facebook?; in case you feel we've left out something, do feel free to drop your precious comments, and we'd be happy to add that info into this post, in order to help the fraternity.

Using FB on Firefox 46 under Win 7 Pro. Moving the mouse to the right of a Notification does not display an 'X', only a down arrow. Clicking the arrow reveals a single "Hide" option. So, I can hide all the notifications, which only means that instead of dozens of notifications I have dozens of "hidden" notification messages. This is only marginally better. So, I regret to say that your solution doesn't work in my environment (which is a fairly common one.)
Also, I can't seem to disable Notifications – the "Activity that involves you" On / Off button is disabled, so I'm stuck with a flood of "Like" votes and Replies from every blog site where I post a comment. Which is a lot.
Not your fault, but FB's concept and design for managing Notifications, at least on Win 7 PCs, seriously sucks. As a 30+ year professional IT apps architect / designer / developer / tester / manager, this design would fail a design review before it ever got to the coding phase.
Agreed. The implicit (and rather arrogant) assumption is that if a subscriber wishes to remove a notification from the notification list permanently they also are disposed not to received future notifications from the same source. The assumption amounts to an obvious non sequitur. If the programmers at FB could add two integers in perl or python or ruby they ought to be able to provide a means to delete a notification as one may delete an email.
Have always why FB is so reluctant to enable ability to easily delete old notifications. Kind of weird really.
Intimidation. That's why. They want you to KNOW that everything you do on Facebook is traceable.

How to See Who Looks at Your Facebook Profile?
Well no doubt Facebook is the largest and most successful social network on this planet right now, right? Yeah, I get that.
So yeah Facebook might be the most advanced social network on this planet but it still lacks certain features, or maybe it has not made the features public yet. One such feature is How to see who looks at your Facebook.
I am pretty sure, Facebook has a certain algorithm in place which tracks who looks at your Facebook account, but either for security reasons or for just about any reason, that feature is not public yet. (No fun there, huh?)
Is your crush secretly spending time on your profile? Are your parents spying on what you're up to?
I know these questions keep arising now and then, but well Facebook just doesn't care for our feelings huh? (Ah well it's just a piece of code, so of course, it doesn't know what feelings are anyway.)
So well that's the reason I am writing this post today, to get you an insight into you how to see who looks at your Facebook account.
Why Would You Want to Know Who Viewed My Facebook Profile?
No, I am not saying you need to be an organized terrorist Organisation in order to be careful and curious about the people coming to your Facebook profile.
I mean there are quite a few reasons your mind might be tickling you inside of It in order to know who is there on your profile right now, right?
So well let's talk about some of the possibilities?
Well, I personally would like to know if my crush is secretly checking my profile out, that gives a lot of mental pieces trust me, and of course, that gives me a better approach.
I mean maybe then I could just go over to her and get the guts to say hi right?
Or maybe, then I would know which of my relatives, or parents are coming up to my profile, and that would help me plan my future posts.
I mean I definitely don't want my parents and relatives check out who I loved and what kind of mental situation of emotional flow I'm going through, right?
So yeah I am sure you can think of a lot of other reasons why you would want to know how can you see who views your Facebook but that's just as far a story as I can think up of right now
Can You See Who Views My Facebook Profile?
I don't want to break your heart or something but picture this, Facebook is a multi-billion dollar company with maybe one of the most advanced algorithms and scientists working on it every moment.
So the bad news about that is it's not really possible to definitely and with most certainty checkout who looks at your Facebook profile because if Facebook doesn't want you to do something on Facebook, Facebook won't allow you to do that thing on Facebook simple as that.
So, what's the point of me writing this article? The title said something like "how to see who views your facebook" profile, right"?
Well, the point is, there are a couple of Apps out there and extensions which allow you to check out who looks at your Facebook profile but let me tell you, the apps and extensions were coded "for" Facebook.
So if the app in any way was in violations of the terms and conditions of Facebook they would not exist.
The extensions and apps might not be totally correct, But well still they are fun to work with, and play around and who knows they might be even totally correct, right? (Afterall, the only thing certain about this world is, nothing is certain, huh?
How to See Who Looks at Your Facebook Profile?
Wow, so now we are reaching the part of the story you are all excited for, right?
Ok so, what we basically will be doing is we will be downloading an extension, and it calculates some metrics on behalf of which it lets us know who looks at our Facebook profile.
But still let me give you a piece of advice if you are interested, this is a third party extension it has not been affiliated with us in any way, the security and reliability of the extension have not been verified by us.
So if you are going to try this extension out it's totally on own responsibility.
So, Click here to go to the Chrome extension page.
Once you are on the page, click on the Add to Chrome button what it basically will do is it will install the extension on your browser. (Well it's not a virus that much I can be sure about, or else it would have never been on the chrome store!)
Once you click on that button, a second pop up would show itself, asking for a final confirmation of the action. So just click on add to chrome button again.
Well, you're done! Here's how it's going to work.
Once you've installed it, you need to click on the extension icon at the top right corner of your URL bar. (Make sure you're on Facebook.com while doing this, or else the icon won't be clickable.)
Now, you would see a visitors option next to your home button.
Click on it, and you'll be asked to invite your friends to install the extension. Well once you do that, and once your friends install it, you'll start seeing whenever they visit your profile.
Well once you do that, and once your friends install it, you'll start seeing whenever they visit your profile.
So how this exactly works is, only those people who have installed the extension from your friend's list would be shown to you as visitors. This is the only downside to it, but that is what makes it a bit legal I suppose.
So yeah, that's about it. I hope it solved your curious mind's questions over how to see who looks at your Facebook profile, right? Feel free to drop a comment if any more doubts exist; I'm here, and I'm listening.
How to Find Someone On Facebook Without Logging In
With more than 1.5 billion users, Facebook has been something beyond a mere social media website. You have to be very lucky to find a friend who doesn't use Facebook. This popularity has been helping people for a while now.
Many children have got their parents back only through Facebook. And, today I am here to share helpful info with you that's how to find someone on Facebook without logging in.
You may think that it's not possible. But you are wrong! To find someone, you don't have to be online.
How to Find Someone On Facebook Without Logging In
I am going to share five different methods on Facebook search for people without logging in. Don't think these processes need geeky people to get it done. You can do it without any help from others within a few minutes.
Are you ready to know how to find someone on Facebook without logging in? Here we go.
Method 1. Search on Google
Google is everyone's go- to- place when we have to search for something. That's why I am starting with this method. You can quickly find public profiles on Google with a specific search operator.
If you are a blogger, you may probably know that there are several search operators available for Google to make every search query satisfying. Follow the steps given below to find anyone on Facebook.
Step 1: Go to google.com and click on the searching text field to enter text.
Step 2: Type "sitename:facebook first name last name" without quotes. Replace the first name and last name with the complete name of the person you want to search for.
Step 3: Press Enter or click the Google search button. You can see the search results and obviously you will get what you are looking for, as the first result.
Check the image given below to have an idea. I have searched for Kulwant Nagi, and I got his Facebook profile without any worry.
Method 2: Use People Search from Facebook
The best idea to find someone on Facebook is to use Facebook itself. Fortunately, Facebook has been providing a People Search service for a while now. You can use this service to find anyone.
Follow the steps given below to find people on Facebook right away.
Step 1: Go to Facebook People Search by clicking here. You can see a text field to enter the name and some alphabets beneath it.
Step 2: Alphabets can be used to find popular profiles as you can't find an ordinary person using them.
Step 3: Type the name of that person ( the one you are looking for) into the field given. Then, click the search button right next to the field. Or else, you can press Enter key.
Step 4: You can see a page up to 10 people matching the name you have inserted. If you don't see the exact person you want, try the process after adding the city, educational qualification or any detail you know about him/ her. It will increase the process of ending up in right result.
Hurray! That's all.
Method 3: Use Social Searcher
Some people don't like using Facebook. So they choose to stick with other social networks only. In such occasion, searching only on Facebook doesn't help. So, you have to search on every network altogether.
Social Searcher is the solution here. You can search for almost every popular network.
Step 1: Go to social- searcher.com. It's the tool to find social profiles.
Step 2: You will be provided with a text field. To find a social profile, you don't have to log in or provide access to of your social media accounts.
Step 3: Insert the name of a person or brand you want to find the social media profile or page. Then, press Enter.
That's all. You will find profiles from at least ten social media accounts.
Method 4: Use Facebook Directory
Sometimes, you may have to look for pages, topics or places. Facebook provides another tool for this. It's Facebook directory.
Click here to visit Facebook directory. There, you can see a search field. There, you can see three tabs including people, pages and places. Click on the one you want to search.
Then, type the name and press Enter. That's all. Unlike Facebook people search, you will see pages, people or places with matching names.
But you can't find every profile using this option. Why because it is possible to prevent Facebook bots from fetching a profile with a simple privacy tweak on the account settings.
Method 5: Use a Browser Extension
I have already given you four methods that help you find anyone on Facebook even without logging in. I hope you make use of it easily. If you find none of them is convenient for you, you can use this method.
Here, I am going to introduce a browser extension to you using which you can find anyone on Facebook. As Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are the two popular browsers, I have chosen one that's available for both of them.
Use the links given below to download the browser extension. (I have specified Chrome and Firefox extensions).
Chrome Link
Firefox Link
After the download, you can see that the extension gets added to the browser. Use the icon on the toolbar to find anyone on Facebook.
That's all. You have got five easy methods for finding someone on Facebook without logging in.
Wrapping Up
I have given you five methods. I hope each of them is very easy for you to get done.
If you like to go with Facebook's tools for this purpose, you have to log in. But all of the basic details can be seen as a guest.
All of the services I have given here use Facebook's API. So, you can see only that info that is set public.
I think everything is clear now. If you still have any doubt, feel free to ask via the comment form down below.

Once you have reached there, then you now need to click on it.
Step #3: Since, you clicked on the "Report Something" link in the previous step. So, because of that a list of links will appear on the same page. You are now required to choose the appropriate one. If you want to report for "Intellectual property" then you should go for "Intellectual property issues". If you have any issues with images then you should go for "Image Privacy Rights".
For the illustration purposes, we have used "Image Privacy Rights",
Step #4: Now, from the subsequent follow-up, head towards the section named as "Reporting Photos & Videos That Violate Your Privacy Rights." Now, select the appropriate one which best suits your requirements.
Step #5: In this step, you need to click on the link which says "Fill out this form."
Step #6: After clicking on the link, you will see the following web page. Select the one which you want to report that is, if you want to report a picture then you should go for "Photo" or if you want to report a video then you should go for the "video" one and for others, go for "Others".
For illustration purposes, let's say we clicked on the radio button next to which "Photo" is written.
After this, you will be prompted to provide the corresponding information like, whether it is a profile picture or a normal profile share. You are required to enter all the information.
Once you are done with all the stuff, then you are now required to click on the "Send" button.
You will also have to provide your email ID so that the Facebook officials may send the action report based on your application.

text: Midweek Markets: Rain Makes Grain – or Pain June 25, 2014 02:59 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ben Potter AgWeb Social Media and Innovation Editor Email Change is constant – and complex – in today's commodity future's markets. Grain market experts scour the globe looking for any insights to gain a competitive edge. Here is sample of what some of them have been saying this week. "The next person who says, 'Rain makes grain,' I'm going to punch in the face," lamented one farmer on Twitter earlier this week. But despite heavy rains negatively impacting some fields, Kevin McNew with Grain Hedge and Geograin says the overall benefits to a wet spring are still a bearish factor over the market. "Acreage numbers from the USDA will set the tone for prices moving forward, with some analysts feeling an acreage approaching 82 million acres is possible," he says. "Considering current prices, we feel it is a good time to forward price or protect with futures/options a portion of expected production." In corn, Kevin Van Trump with Farm Direction says China still holds the key to potential higher prices. "For the past several years this market has had an unspoken fear of potentially huge Chinese corn demand at any given moment," he says. "In other words, there has always been a bullish wild-card in the deck in regard to Chinese demand. Traders just never knew if China was going to make the jump from "price" buyer to "quantity" buyer, similar to what we witnessed in the soybean market." However, rumor has it that China is sitting on much larger domestic stocks than the trade had been estimating, Van Trump adds. Weak wheat? Dan Hueber with the Hueber report says don't expect any strong prices for the rest of June. "I continue to look for spot futures to reach down to the gap targets between 5.67 and 5.62," he says. "While there is certainly nothing that says prices have to quit going lower, particularly with the competitive world trade right now but we have been pressing prices on that news for a number of weeks now and I continue to believe we should soon be in line for a corrective bounce."

The Daily Caller reports that Google is getting more deeply involved in serving the military. The headline says, "Google's robots and creeping militarization," but the story describes something more like a "rush" than mere "creeping."
Google CEO Larry Page has rapidly positioned Google to become an indispensable U.S. military contractor.
Google recently purchased Boston Dynamics, a robotics pioneer that produces amazing humanoid robots for the U.S. Defense Department.
This development invites attention to Google's broader military contracting ambitions — especially since Boston Dynamics is the eighth robotics company that Google has bought in the last six months.
Just like drones are the future of air warfare, humanoid robots and self-driving vehicles will be the future of ground warfare according to U.S. defense plans.
There are many other reasons why the U.S. military is on path to become Google's single largest customer. Likewise these reasons indicate Google has a closer working relationship with the NSA than it acknowledges publicly.
The story points to several developments that Google has made that have military applications. It also points out the hiring of Regina Dugan. She was the head of the Defense Department's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Google's spokesperson explained, ""Regina is a technical pioneer who brought the future of technology to the military during her time at DARPA. She will be a real asset to Google." Yes she will, not only for her own projects but also because she will know what the military command believes that it needs for the future. Google's hiring of Dugan give the company access to inside information about the Defense Department.
Google has a long history of working for, and with, the NSA and the other U.S. intelligence services.
In 2004, Google purchased satellite mapping company Keyhole, which was strategically important enough to be funded by the CIA's investment fund In-Q-Tel.
Google turned the aptly-named "Keyhole" surveillance capability into the wildly popular Google Earth and Google Maps service used by over a billion people and over one million websites.
In 2008, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that U.S. spy agencies use "Google equipment as the backbone of Intellipedia, a network aimed at helping agents share intelligence." The article also reported that Google had a support contract with the NSA.
In 2010, the Washington Post reported that Google worked with the NSA to figure out how Chinese hackers broke into Google. The New York Times later reported that those Chinese hackers stole Google's entire password system called Gaia.
Finally, it is simply a fact that Google has a great deal of information (specifically, metadata) that we know the NSA wants to possess and track. Google is strategically placed in the internet with all its free services to track the behavior of many internet users. Its free email service is wildly popular. According to ex-NSA Director Michael Hayden, this popularity extends to terrorists all over the world.
Google's capabilities and the NSA's known desire for more information about internet users, mean that we need to be concerned about these movements by Google that embed it more closely into the military-industrial complex.
If this sounds paranoid, I can only refer the wise words of General and President Dwight D. Eisenhower: "We should take nothing for granted."

Paper presented at the 2011 International Electronic Packaging Technical Conference and Exhibition (IPACK2011), Portland, Oregon, July 6–8, 2011.
Fine thermoelectric elements were fabricated on electrode chips by welding together the tips of thin 5 μm diameter Pt and W wires by Joule heat welding. The Pt/W junction was heated by bringing it into contact with a wire carrying a current, thus generating a voltage due to the Seebeck effect in the circuit containing the junction. The Pt/W junctions of two thermoelectric elements in separate circuits were brought into contact with each other. Current was supplied to one of the thermoelectric elements, while the temperature was measured using the other element as a thermocouple. The temperature, which is due to the Peltier effect, was found to depend on the direction of current supply.

Apparently the biggest danger facing soldiers wasn't on the battlefield, but rather in the bedroom.
1. Cleanliness is NOT next to godliness.
2. Just like drugs…
3. FYI: "V-Gals" is not a nursery rhyme for kids.
4. With a face like that, you know she is trouble.
5. This diagram looks accurate.
6. Warning: never pick-up a woman who stands under a street lamp…
7. ..or in a dark alley…
8. …or one stands in front shady dance halls — like Shorty's Place.
9. Only you can prevent venereal diseases and forest fires.
10. That wink totally says loose.
11. So that's what Carmen Sandiego has been up to!
12. No invite to Mussolini from Hitler or Emperor Hirohito to join in on their duet?
13. I like the subtlety of this poster.
14. Wow, just a minute? Disappointing.
15. Well, she certainly has a type.
16. Who did this survey?
Also, 100% are blond.
Bonus: Men are sluts too!

I Care: Providing mind-body healing at Wellness Within
By Autumn Payne
A match is struck and a hope candle is lit. A sacred space is created where those struggling with cancer can discover and develop their inner strength. Patti Brown, right, gently tends this space. She guides the women in a soothing meditation where the unconscious mind is free to flourish and the spirit is nourished. Brown is the founder of Wellness Within, a Roseville center offering free mind-body healing classes for cancer patients and survivors. It provides classes in nutrition, yoga, meditation and individual counseling. "For people to allow you into a very raw vulnerable time is and honor," says Brown. "I am completely awe-inspired by people's stories. I don't think I've ever witnessed so much bravery and courage in my life since I started this work."

Cwmni Bro Ffestiniog
Cwmni Bro Ffestiniog is a pioneering development in Wales; a network of successful community enterprises which have come together to co-operate under the banner of one overarching community company.
The company operates in the communities of Blaenau Ffestiniog, Trawsfynydd and Penrhyndeudraeth and nearby villages, which between them have a population of about 8,000 people. Blaenau Ffestiniog was the second largest town in north Wales in 1900 with a population of about 13,000 people, but as the slate industry declined the population had more than halved by the year 2000. Blaenau Ffestiniog is now one of the economically poorest areas in the United Kingdom. Despite the de-industrialisation a cultural legacy survives, upon which an integrated and holistic model of community development is being pioneered by Cwmni Bro Ffestiniog.
There are more social enterprises per head of the population in Bro Ffestiniog than anywhere else in Wales. Thirteen of the area's social enterprises have come together under the banner of Cwmni Bro Ffestiniog. The members are:
Antur Stiniog www.anturstiniog.com
Barnardos www.barnardos.org.uk/cabanbach.htm
Cyfeillion Croesor www.orielcafficroesoratcnicht.co.uk
CellB/Gwallgofiaid www.cellb.org
Cwmni Opra Cymru www.opra.cymru
Deudraeth Cyf. www.deudraethcyf.org.uk
GISDA www.gisda.org
Seren www.seren.org Gwesty Seren www.gwestyseren.org
Pengwern Cymunedol www.ypengwern.co.uk
Y Dref Werdd www.drefwerdd.cymru
Ysgol y Moelwyn/Canolfan Hamdden firstname.lastname@example.com
The diverse activities of these ventures include running two hotels, shops, restaurants, cafes, tourist information centre, leisure centre, arts and crafts workshop, mountain biking centre, retail, horticulture, energy production projects, developing allotments, educational and cultural activities, opera, environmental projects, energy saving promotion, reducing food waste, recycling, river cleaning, work with adults with supplementary needs, youth work including to do with homelessness and teaching environmental and media skills.
The company's aims are to promote co-operation between the constituent social enterprises, nurture new social enterprises and work with small business enterprises which are anchored in the community. All of this is in order to promote the environmental, economic, social and cultural development of the area.
Between them, Cwmni Bro's members employ some 150 people. A recent analysis of their economic impact showed that a high percentage of their income comes from trading. Further, this income largely stayed and circulated in the area. For every pound received as a grant or loan, a significant proportion, 98 pence, was spent locally, mainly on wages. Of the 1.5 million pounds spent on wages 53% is retained locally. Nearly half the expenditure on goods and services was local and thus circulated money in the area.
In August 2018, a new venture was launched, BROcast Ffestiniog, a community digital broadcasting service, aimed at facilitating communication between the social enterprises and the community and within the community (See BROcast Ffestiniog-YOUTube and facebook.com/BROcastFfestiniog ).
The integrated and holistic model of community development which Cwmni Bro is pioneering offers a pattern which other communities can emulate. Cwmni Bro resonds positively to invitations to visit other communities to explain what has been achieved in Bro Ffestiniog and to discuss the general potential of this model of community development.
The model presents a challenge to government in Wales; to develop policies and appropriate support in order to facilitate the adoption of this model of community development across Wales.
