Please don't be an idiot

 If you walk along any river you may see fisherman on the bank casting their lines as far as possible into the river. Now take a look at the boats, those fishermen are casting towards the shore so where are the fish?


This brings me to the topic of, "Truth". Everything is true and nothing at all.

  Line 100 people up on a sidewalk and let's stage a car collision.

 After the collision we're going to separate the 100 viewers and ask them to describe what they saw while taking a polygraph test.
You're going to have 100 true / false stories by days end So...

 Where is the truth?

The Trouble with Texting

A few reasons why texting is no substitute for face-to-face communication.


Lately, I've noticed more clients using text messages to discuss or argue about unresolved issues in their relationships. As someone who is all thumbs with my thumbs, I’m always amazed that people have the digital dexterity to carry on a reasonably coherent text dialogue for longer than two minutes. But personal challenges aside, texting is not the way to negotiate a relationship.
As texting becomes second nature to a generation reared on iphones, it’s worth noting that human beings were designed to connect with each other on many different levels. UCLA professor Albert Mehrabian found that 58 percent of communication is through body language, 35 percent through vocal tone, pitch, and emphasis, and a mere 7 percent through content of the message.
We all know that good communication is the cornerstone of relationship. So why attempt to resolve a disagreement using only 7 percent of your full expressive potential? Would you run a marathon with 7 percent of your physical strength, or take an important test with 7 percent of your intelligence? Would you host a holiday gathering with only 7 percent of your house cleaned?
And that’s a generous 7 percent. Consider all the annoying slips of finger that can interfere with clear communication. When the difference between “mad,” “sad,” “bad,” and “glad” is an errant thumb, wobbly finger gymnastics can be costly and confusing.
I understand that for some people, texting has become a habitual form of communications. And we all know that some habits are hard to break. But I also believe there are additional reasons why someone might initiate a delicate or difficult conversation via text. Here are a few theories:
1) To avoid revealing vulnerable emotions. No one can hear the trembling or the anger in your voice in a text.
2) To protect oneself from having to hear another person’s distress, whether it be crying, anger, or strain in their voice.
 3) To have some control over the conversation, including setting boundaries with difficult or verbose people. Sometimes this can devolve into manipulation, especially if one party refuses to talk on the phone.
4) To expend less energy. Texting requires fewer sentences than talking or emails.
Despite appearances, I am not anti-texting. Like any technology, texting has its place, especially for a quick hello, simple banter, or making plans. But as I tell my clients, it's always preferable to discuss problems face to face. And when that's not possible, our smart phones also have digital keypads.. and we have fingers.

WEATHER WARNING: 2018 hurricane season to be MORE ACTIVE than devastating 2017

HURRICANE season is set to be even more devastating this year following a catastrophic hurricane season in 2017 as researchers warn major hurricanes could strike the east coast of the UK and hit the Caribbean
According to research from Colorado State University university, there is a 63 percent chance that a major hurricane – category three or higher – will hit the east coast of the US this year and a 52 percent chance that they will make landfall on the Caribbean.
The team say that is due to a lack of La Nina, where sea temperatures in the Pacific Ocean drops, this year which will allow the water to remain warm and prove a successful breeding ground for storms and hurricanes.
A statement from Colorado State University read: “We anticipate a slightly above-average probability for major hurricanes making landfall along the continental United States coastline and in the Caribbean.
“As is the case with all hurricane seasons, coastal residents are reminded that it only takes one hurricane making landfall to make it an active season for them.

Researchers believe that there could be up to 18 named storms in 2017 – there were 17 in 2017.
Scientists give hurricane names so they can track them throughout the year.
They are listed alphabetically and alternate between male and female names.

Top 4 Technology Penny Stocks to Watch


Technology remains fertile ground for young companies to try their hand at putting new tech solutions on the market. That means investors will find plenty of penny stocks to choose from. If you want to learn more about the process of trading penny stocks, Investopedia has a day trading course.
We have selected four penny tech stocks for you to consider. These stocks were chosen based on their positions in their industries. In other words, we looked for stocks that have the potential to capture market share. All figures are current as of May 2, 2018. (See also: How to Pick Winning Penny Stocks.)

Zix Corporation (ZIXI)

Zix is an email provider. It focuses on secure messaging, marketing itself to corporate and government entities. The unique approach of encryption, coupled with avoiding downloading, makes this an attractive service.
With sales rising 65% in five years, Zix is making headway. It tends to range in and out of the penny stock category, as it rises over $5 per share on occasion. As you might expect, the company is very small, with a market cap of just under $289 million. Revenues have been increasing steadily over the past four years. With data breaches and privacy concerns drawing ever more attention to cybersecurity issues, Zix shows promise for investors who are willing to take on the risk of a penny stock.

Glu Mobile Inc. (GLUU
GLUU
Glu Mobile Inc
5.47
+0.74%
 
) 

Glu Mobile makes games for smartphones. It has multiple titles that are gaining popularity for players who use phones or tablets. Many of the titles are based on action movies, while others are based on existing console games. Interestingly, its biggest selling title is a casual role-playing game based on the life of reality TV star Kim Kardashian.
The company has worked its way out of debt and has strong cash reserves. Revenues have been rising over the past four quarters, but operating income is negative. Glu Mobile is spending on research and development to find its next hit. The potential for this stock is based on its industry, as games continue to grow in popularity and gamers are willing to try new games even if they are not from large companies. If Glu Mobile comes up with a hit game, it will likely send the stock soaring. (See also: Glu Mobile Buys Game Company Plain Vanilla.)

Arotech Corporation (ARTX
ARTX
Arotech Corp
3.75
+5.63%
 
)

This company has combined two of the hottest trends around today: drones and virtual reality. It creates technology for the military and law enforcement, offering simulations for use-of-force training. It also sells to the security and emergency services sectors and provides weapons simulations for aircraft and missile systems.
Arotech has positioned itself as a significant provider of surveillance and attack technologies at a time when drones are gaining increased attention and artificial intelligence is being deployed. After several quarters of flat performance, revenue ticked up in the quarter that ended Sept. 30, 2017, and the company's operating income turned positive during that period. These are positive signals for Arotech, and the stock could offer room for additional growth based on the potential for the company and the sector. (For more, see: Top 6 Drone Stocks.)

Plug Power Inc. (PLUG

Plug Power Inc
2.19
+1.39%
 
)

Plug Power is a player in the burgeoning alternative energy industry, focusing on the field of hydrogen fuel cell technology. The company provides fuel cell solutions to the material handling and stationary power sectors. Based in Latham, New York, Plug Power has been in existence since 1997, indicating that there is some longevity to the story despite its current status as a penny stock.
Operating income has been consistently negative for the past few years, and that trend continued in 2017. However, the stock price appears to have reached a bottom in the first few months of 2017, and it broke out in March and April on strong trading volume, with the shares doubling in value over that time frame. Although Plug Power saw its share price slide downward in November 2017 and again in early 2018, the stock could offer investors solid gains as the alternative energy industry gathers strength.

The Bottom Line

The trouble with penny stocks is that investors have to make some guesses about the future. Very few penny stocks have a strong enough track record to indicate that they will survive and prosper. That said, the penny stocks on our list operate in significant industries and have the potential to be vital players in those industries. (See also: The Lowdown on Penny Stocks.)
