it's so funny to think abt how the dystopian levels of surveillance and data collection we are subjected to every day without consent, and sometimes without awareness being done primarily for the purpose of advertising goods and services to people. targeted ads that so often get blocked and ignored because everyone hates ads.

just... the hilarity of a vast network of machines dedicated to spying on everyone in the world, straight out of the mind of a deranged conspiracy theorist, which exists to let you know that shoes are 10% off at wal-mart, and which doesn't actually make you want to shop at wal-mart

Book Review: 'As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World' #1

As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World #1 by MiraijinA, Jimmy, Tristan K Hill

castle politics

fantasy

isekai

political science

social commentary

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Navigating the treacherous course of a territory in turmoil, Ars Louvent is too young to know what he's actually doing. Or, he should be. It's not as if he has much of a choice. His father is ill, his neighbors encroach his borders, and the regional duke's two sons are about to kick off a civil war. Ars is too young to know what he's actually doing. Or is he?

REINCARNATED ARISTOCRAT v1 is a gem. Not because it's exceedingly original and difficult to find, but because this story is nestled comfortably in a niche genre and the author executes its narrative to absolute perfection. This is not a reincarnation story with overpowered heroes, a harem of young hybrid animal ladies, or tales of gruesome death around every corner. This novel is about political gamesmanship, the methodical merging of economic and military interests, and the people-management calculations made in the shadows of increasingly corrupted statecraft.

This novel focuses on the people who manage the land, as well as the personal relationships, economic hardships, and territorial disputes that come with being a minor lord in a much larger chess game. Readers who want their feudal lordship brimming with bloodshed should look elsewhere. Similarly, readers who want their isekai narratives packed with inexplicably outsized magecraft should look elsewhere.

Ars's ability to view people's skills and abilities via an old school RPG status screen forms the foundation of the book's trajectory. He knows when a soldier might fare better as an archer, rather than as a hand-to-hand combatant. He also knows when a political leader is more heavily inclined toward betrayal than facile loyalty. And in the case of his unexpected engagement to a friendly lord's young daughter, Ars also knows when someone is shockingly skilled at political subterfuge.

AS A REINCARNATED ARISTOCRAT, I'LL USE MY APPRAISAL SKILL TO RISE IN THE WORLD v1 is a fun book but can be difficult to follow. The novel wields dozens of place names (territories, counties, countries), people (attendants, lords, dukes), and alliances (mercenary groups, duchy coups), and it pays to have a notepad at the ready. For example, Ars, the acting lord of the Lamberg territory, finds himself thrust into the spotlight, lending needed information and aid to House Pyres, which is guided by Count Lumeire Pyres, governor of the County of Canarre, in his support of Lord Couran Salemakhia, eldest son of the ailing Lord Amador Salemakhia, the Duke of Missian, of the Summerforth Empire. Got all that? The more complex version includes Lord Couran's rival (brother), Count Pyres's rivals (neighboring counties), a plausible assassination attempt, and more. This is not a book one can put down one day, and nonchalantly pick up a week later.

Layered and complicated though the character dynamics may be, the novel is written very loosely. The book is full of clever writing and amicable characters. Ars is overly cautious but more sarcastic than not. He shudders at the thought of using his appraisal skill to climb the political ranks ("Could you imagine just how much of a pain in the ass being an emperor would be?" page 54). Unfortunately, some supporting characters earn more space on the page than others, but there's plenty of room for them to grow.

Ars recruits a skilled mercenary as his personal retainer, locates and hires a marginally intelligent but comically vain mage to lead his army, and strikes a lucrative deal with a crossdressing information broker whose intelligence and combat prowess are second to none. Ars may find it a royal pain to seek out those capable of helping him achieve his or his greater lord's goals, but the deeper he wades into the waters of governance and intrigue, the more he values the hunt for what it is ("I was starting to appreciate that there was always a lot more to a person deep down than what my little power could tell me about them," page 273).

The novel's pensive approach to domestic statecraft, as well as its deliberately obsequious view of domestic political relations, includes social commentary on enslaved peoples, arranged marriages, feuds among royalty, the economics of betrayal, the imperatives of nursing a good strategist, and more. REINCARNATED ARISTOCRAT v1 goes deep, intentionally, and the book can feel like a tome packed with entertaining but immaterial lore, but in reality, everything boils down to "medieval territory management," as the author says in the afterword. Still, it's a gem.

Natalie Wood — Investigation with 4 Key Witnesses Uncovered Witness Dennis Davern and more than 700 others signed a petition addressed to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department outlining what they considered flaws in the original investigation.

Six years of investigation, four new key witnesses. Two determined investigators with a lot of questions for Robert Wagner.

Lt. John Corina: The reality is … what does the evidence show? …she wouldn’t go back and — that’s not her. That’s not her job. … she would never go worry about the dinghy. She’s gonna tell Dennis Davern, “Hey, can you go tie that dinghy down? It’s making noise.” That’s his job….

Lt. John Corina: As we’ve investigated the case over the last six years, I think he’s more of a person of interest now. I mean, we — we know now that he was the last person — to be with Natalie before she disappeared… …..

“In the early 1990s, Lana Wood says a tormented, seemingly inebriated Dennis Davern started calling her.

“Erin Moriarty: What, specifically, did he tell you?

Lana Wood: He said, “It wasn’t an accident.” And he said, “It was ugly.”

Lana Wood says she didn’t want to believe it at first.

Lana Wood: I didn’t wanna think that. But there are so many things that are just facts.

She has since become one of R.J. Wagner’s harshest critics, going so far as to publically accuse him of foul play.

Erin Moriarty: Do you think she was pushed in the water?

Lana Wood: Yes.

Erin Moriarty: Do you believe it was her husband R.J. Wagner?

Lana Wood: Absolutely. Yes.”

Davern says Wagner insisted he move into his guest house in Beverly Hills.

Dennis Davern: I was to stay indoors at all times, not communicate with anybody.

Eventually, Davern left California for the East Coast, but was never able to escape the past.”

Above is a photo of Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty in Cannes

Renewed. The actress may have been injured before she entered the ocean... Natalie Wood’s bruises and scratches on her arm, wrist and neck may have been suffered before…

The FBI, CBP, and other agencies can track your location using WiFi and GPS data, but they rarely know how to do all of this and piece together enough of your location data to get a conviction without a confession. Most of this data is actually useless without other evidence or a confession, not to mention the easy method of making all of your digital behavior random and unpredictable to where their machines can’t make predictions on you, and any agents get a headache trying to understand what you’re doing. You can also have multiple phones logged into the same account running in different locations, faraday bags, and custom encrypted operating systems.

Best CFD Brokers in 2024: A Comprehensive Guide

Key Considerations When Choosing a CFD Broker

Regulation and Security

One of the most critical factors in selecting a CFD broker is ensuring they are regulated by a reputable authority. Regulatory bodies such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), and Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) enforce strict guidelines that protect traders. Trading with a regulated broker ensures that your funds are secure and that you operate in a transparent environment.

Trading Platforms and Technology

A robust trading platform is essential for executing trades efficiently. Brokers offering platforms like MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), or proprietary platforms with advanced trading tools give you the edge in the fast-paced trading environment. The platform’s usability, availability of real-time data, and comprehensive analytics are all factors that can significantly impact your trading experience.

Range of Tradable Assets

Diversification is key to managing risk in CFD trading. The best brokers offer a wide variety of assets, including forex, commodities, indices, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. A broad range of options allows traders to capitalize on multiple market opportunities, enhancing the potential for profit.

Leverage and Margin Requirements

Leverage is a double-edged sword in CFD trading, amplifying both potential profits and losses. It’s important to choose a broker that offers flexible leverage options suited to your risk appetite. High leverage, while enticing, should be balanced with reasonable margin requirements to prevent overexposure.

Fees, Spreads, and Commissions

Trading costs can eat into your profits, making it essential to choose a broker with a competitive fee structure. Look for brokers that offer low spreads and transparent commissions. Some brokers may provide commission-free trading with slightly wider spreads, while others might offer tight spreads with a commission fee. Understanding the fee structure can help you optimize your trading strategy.

Customer Support and Educational Resources

A reliable customer support team and a wealth of educational resources are invaluable for both novice and experienced traders. Brokers that offer 24/7 support, along with educational content such as webinars, tutorials, and market analysis, help you stay informed and improve your trading skills.

The Data of a Dead Man

I lost my granddad when I was ten years old. We were very close, and he was someone I felt the absence of in my life, even at that young age.

He was also someone with a Facebook profile.

It became a memorialization profile, though I don't know if that was an option back when he died. I believe my mom had the passwords for his account (which is an option people should consider setting up with their loved ones) and made a memorial post for him. Since then it's sat there, gaining years, with the photos and posts acting as a little time capsule. However, that also got me thinking. Does Facebook own all those photos and posts? There are years of pictures on there, going back to when he was a baby. Anything posted on social media technically exists there forever, albeit eventually impossible to access. However, with the increasingly prevalent conversations on data privacy and the data broker market, has someone bought my granddad's data? How much did it cost, and who bought it? Is there a way to protect the privacy of someone once they've past? And what do brokers even do with the data of a dead man?

-USA Residents Only-

Time Sensitive- Apply before August 25th, 2023 (8/25/23)!

Filing a claim takes less than ten minutes, and can be done HERE

Excerpt from article:

Anyone in the U.S. who used Facebook in the last 16 years can now collect a piece of a $725 million settlement by parent company Meta tied to privacy violations — as long as they fill out a claim on a website set up to pay out money to the social network's users. 

The settlement stems from multiple lawsuits that were brought against Facebook by users who claimed that the company improperly shared their data with third-party sources such as advertisers and data brokers. The litigation began after Facebook was embroiled in a privacy scandal in 2018 with Cambridge Analytica, which scraped user data from the site as part of an effort to profile voters.

Meta denied any liability or wrongdoing under the settlement, according to the recently created class-action website. However, the agreement means that U.S. residents who used Facebook between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, can file a monetary claim as long as they do so before August 25, 2023. 

Please reblog to signal boost this! As many people as possible should know about this to make their claim, if you don't do anything you don't get anything. It takes less than ten minutes to file and pick your payment option including pay/pal and ven/mo .

The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility is promoting socially responsible supply chains

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a fancy way of saying that companies should be kind and responsible in how they make and sell things. It's like telling them to be good citizens. One important part of CSR is making sure that the things a company uses to make its products, like materials and labor, are also being treated well. This means they should make sure that their supply chains are responsible and fair.

When we talk about promoting socially responsible supply chains, it means encouraging companies to use good and fair practices in getting the things they need to make their products. This includes treating their workers well and being mindful of how their actions impact the environment.

Identifying Your Audience

When crafting a social media strategy for mortgage brokers, the first step should be identifying your target audience. Ask yourself questions such as where does this audience live, what age range do they cover, and which social media platforms do they use most? By knowing your target demographic, you can focus your energy and efforts on platforms where you’re more likely to reach success. Furthermore, it’s important to research what type of information your audiences value and what content resonates best with them. Doing so will allow you to tailor your posts and content to better meet the expectations of your target audience. 

Finding the Right Platforms

After identifying your target audience, the next step is to decide which social media platforms are the best for you. Some considerations to make include what type of content you plan to post and who you’re targeting. You may want to start with more general platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, but depending on who you’re targeting, it may be beneficial to experiment with more specialized and niche platforms. It’s important to test out different platforms and explore different options, as some might end up resonating with your audiences better than others. 

Maximizing Return on Investment

Once you’ve identified your target audience and chosen the right social media platforms, it’s time to optimize your return on investment by focusing on campaigns that will bring the best results. It’s important to create detailed campaigns and initiatives for each platform and run tests to get a better understanding of what strategies work best for the specific platform. This includes running tests for things like page post frequency, optimization of content topics, location targeting, and targeting specific audience segments.

Experimenting with different types of content like videos, infographics, images, and interactive content can be beneficial in boosting engagement and driving traffic to your site. 

Utilizing Successful Strategies

While quality content is important, it’s just as important to use successful strategies to reach your target audience. This could include leveraging influencers and utilizing influencer marketing as well as creating engaging campaigns that incentivize sharing. Additionally, it’s important to get creative and explore opportunities to collaborate with other businesses or brands that could lead to more exposure for your business. Getting creative in terms of the strategies and tactics you use can help you identify new opportunities and reach a larger audience. 

Developing an Engaging Online Presence

When it comes to social media, it’s not enough to simply post content; it’s important to develop an engaging online presence. This means being active, responding to messages and comments, and taking the time to interact with your followers. This is not an area you want to neglect as it can greatly impact the success of your social media efforts. Additionally, it’s important to remain professional and consistent in your brand message and visuals in order to successfully build a strong and recognizable presence. 

Measurement and Analysis of Results

Finally, the last step in crafting a successful social media strategy for mortgage brokers is measuring and analyzing the results. There are a number of analytics tools that can be used to track the success of a social media campaign, such as number of clicks, impressions, reach, and engagement. It’s important to measure these metrics in order to gain a better understanding of the effectiveness of your campaigns and optimize future efforts. Additionally, having an understanding of analytics data can allow you to uncover areas of improvement and better cater to the needs of your target audience.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it is clear that the concept of a conclusion is an important aspect of any written work.
