01 FBI : Joint Cyber Operation Takes Down Avalanche Criminal Network
It was a highly secure infrastructure of servers that allegedly offered cyber criminals an unfettered platform from which to conduct malware campaigns and "money mule" money laundering schemes, targeting victims in the U.S. and around the world. But the Avalanche network, which was specifically designed to thwart detection by law enforcement, turned out to be not so impenetrable after all.

03 60-Seconds #338 : Getting flamed on Facebook isn't always bad
I was flamed in a comment on a friend's Facebook the other day because I quoted publishing community sentiment about Trump, fake news, click bait and the amount of free air time Trump leveraged from social media. People just don't believe that each time Obama or Clinton mentioned Trump, it was a positive marketing point in favor of Trump. If you mention that "Obama and Clinton actually aided in the Trump victory by concentrating on him and NOT Hillary," be careful, you'll probably get flamed like I did.

We should seize every opportunity to give encouragement. Encouragement is oxygen to the soul. The days are always dark enough. There is no need for us to emphasize the fact by spreading further gloom."
- George M. Adam
"He is a man of sense who does not grieve for what he has not, but rejoices in what he has."
- Epictetus
"Ideas are great arrows, but there has to be a bow."
- Bill Moyers
