A 37-year-old man is now safely ashore after spending 66 days at sea.
Louis Jordan was spotted late last week by a passing container ship 320 kilometres off the coast of North Carolina. He had ventured out on a solo fishing trip when his sailboat capsized a number of times in poor weather.
He managed to stay inside the boat, but with a broken mast, was unable to sail to safety. This 2 minute video shows the U.S. Coast Guard airlifting Jordan from the container ship. The U.S. Coast Guard began a search in February, but ended it 10 days later.

Liberals and Their Ideas
John C. Goodman:
What do these events have in common?
[Easily-gathered list of liberal individuals and advocacy-groups being unhinged]
Since Donald Trump's name figures prominently in each of these events, is the president to blame? Remember, Trump is not a traditional Republican or even a traditional conservative. In the past he gave money to Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and other Democrats. So why are Trump's critics going through the emotional equivalent of the St. Vitus dance?
To answer that, look at the critics, not at Trump.
This has been on my mind a great deal lately. According to conventional wisdom, and the narrative liberals like to push — also, not completely unfounded by the anecdotal evidence we see if we pay attention across time — liberalism pushes us along in one direction, sometimes at warp-speed and sometimes at a glacial pace. But, being "progress" that is inevitable, it doesn't retreat. It relies on the ratchet effect. And, to the envy of everyone else who's struggling to get something done, liberalism as a movement always seems to know what to do next, even when it's being dealt its most bitter defeats. It's like the metaphorical fiddler, with the "pay me now or pay me later" attitude. It appeals to a constituency of intellectual lightweights, of drama queens, hysterical types, who have no long-term plan, seem to exist in a constant state of agitation and despair, looking at life through a straw. And yet as a political movement it's always playing for the long-game.
Why, then, in the wake of this latest defeat, is it so evidently not the case? They're like the villain from a science fiction movie, or corny old comic book, reaching up to grab the hero off a high scaffold with an evil snarl and spiky speaking bubble that says "I don't care if I live so long as you die!" A first-term President Trump having to contend with a Senate and House dominated by the opposition party after 2018, seems like a near-certainty if the democrats can manage things right. Is that the vision? Gum up the works, let the whole country SEE THEM DOING IT, and then hoping the voters forget who's been making it this way when the time comes to vote?
How do the foolish video "beheadings," and real-life active-shooter events, figure into it I wonder?
Why are they so much off the deep end? Shouldn't they be busying themselves with circulating propaganda, like they did after Reagan beat Carter and then Mondale? I mean, granted that took awhile, but it at least went off in the direction they wanted…worked eventually. A new generation of idiot voters reached the age to cast a vote, the women got all lovesick and swooning over this cutey-pie Arkansas Governor, and he got elect President. That would not have worked if the electorate was being reminded all week long every week, how democrats can't carry a thought any better than a the party drunk can carry a tune. Like they're being reminded right now.
Goodman continues with his reasons. He doesn't seem to think there's a plan behind this, that the liberal movement is a victim of its own innate insanity. I'm undecided about this, but I find his summaries to be persuasive:
Liberalism without Ideas. During the last election, Donald Trump raised a number of issues – some of which were unusual in presidential politics…Some of Trump's solutions were standard Republican fare…But here is the important question: Can you say with any confidence what Hillary Clinton proposed to do about any of these problems? I bet you can't.
As for Bernie Sanders and the left wing of the Democratic party, there seem to be some concrete proposals. But I can't think of one that is different from what the left was saying back in the 1930s.
A Party Without Ideas.…Today, identity politics is all there is. In the last election, Hillary Clinton asked women to vote for her because they are women. Blacks because they are black…This is the new racial politics and it's been going full throttle for some time.
Campuses Without Ideas. Historically, colleges and universities in this country represented fountainheads of free inquiry. They were places where the free exchange of ideas was permitted and encouraged…But no more…Instead of debating whether vouchers would help liberate poor minority kids who are attending bad schools, for example, some campus protestors are claiming that even hearing the case for vouchers "marginalizes" black students. Ditto for welfare reform, or just about any other reform proposed by someone who is right-of-center.
Further, we are increasingly told that speech itself is a form of violence. So, physical violence is justified to silence speech that is "offensive."
Anti-intellectualism is so consuming campus life that even a slight deviation from political correctness on questions of identity can provoke scathing condemnation.
A Culture Without Ideas. What is happening on college campuses is a barometer of what is happening in elite culture as a whole. Writing in the New York Times, Kenan Malik reports that:
Hal Niedzviecki, editor of Write, the magazine of the Canadian Writers' Union, penned an editorial defending the right of white authors to create characters from minority or indigenous backgrounds. Within days, a social media backlash forced him to resign.
You can see I'm struggling here to excerpt fairly, retaining the structure of his critique without copying verbatim. You should really go RTWT, the parts I dropped out are not throwaway by any means.
As Goodman closes in for the kill shot, I find myself entirely unable to whittle it down in a way that would work. Every single word is meaningful, and important.
Bottom line: having lost all interest in ideas (because basically they have nothing to say) the political left has turned to identity culture — asserting that people have rights and obligations based on their genes or their ethnicity or their gender. If you disagree with them, they will not debate the merits of the case. They will instead attack you as an enemy of the groups for whom politically correctness requires sympathy. And they will encourage members of those groups to lash out against you — violently in some cases — because in the world of the mindless, brute force is the only thing left.

There are a wide number of different types of electronic toys and games available on the market today. This guide will provide you with reviews, suggestions and advice on what to look for when shopping.
Toys and games are not simply for the children anymore. Although there are plenty of educational and enjoyable options for children, there are also a lot of choices that will help to entertain and engage adults of all ages, and excellent options for teenagers too.
Everyone has wished they had a robot who could do their housework or complete their homework. Robot toys on the market may not be able to do that yet, but they do provide plenty of enjoyment. There are a number of different types of robots available, including dinosaur and pet robots. Children will often gravitate towards the pet robots, and these toys can make a great alternative to a dog or cat. There are also robot building kits, such as the Lego Mindstorms kit, which will appeal to both adults and kids interested in electronics.
Remote control (RC) toys have had some really exciting advancements. RC cars have added new features, such as super speed, spy cars, custom cars, and even cars that climb walls. RC toys are not simply being used by kids anymore either - there are events centered around RC vehicles for adults, including remote controlled boats. There are also plenty of options that make good gifts for teenagers, such as remote controlled helicopters. There are many different price ranges too, depending on the complexity and customization of the toy.
Karaoke machines are available in a number of price ranges with a number of different functions. When looking for a home karaoke machine, it is first important to consider what kind of machine you would like - there are all-inclusive machines, which come with a screen, speakers, and microphone, and there are machines that hook up to a television screen. You will also want to consider what music source you would like. There are systems for which you purchase karaoke CDs, ones that allow you to hook up your Apple iPod, or ones that have a song library built-in. Those serious about their karaoke will want to look for machines that have extensive audio options, or ones that allow you to record your singing.
Handheld electronic games can be a great way to occupy the time while travelling, or just when relaxing. They are less expensive and more portable than video gaming systems, and allow you to play some of your favorite games without a partner. Many handheld electronic games also have functions that help you to learn the game and improve your skills. Popular games, such as Sudoku, Scrabble and Battleship all have their own handheld versions.
The advancements of technology have allowed many educational toys to be available. Educational toys for younger children tend to focus on developing reading and counting skills. There are also a number of solar-powered toys that will interest younger children. Science toys and kits are popular for older children, with toys designed for students all the way through high school. Educational toys can make a good addition to a classroom, and also work well for enrichment at home.
There are a number of family-friendly electronic games and toys on the market. There are gadgets that will help you take care of your baby through ensuring a comfortable sleeping environment and helping you to decipher their cries. There are also a number of electronic toys for infants and toddlers that will help them to develop skills and learn. Finally, we have suggestions for gadgets for your teen, as well as the low-down on information about gadgets that will appeal to the whole family.

Almost every person I know has told me they've had thoughts/dreams of writing a book. Strangers I've talked to for less than sixty seconds while sitting at a bar have told me the same. Numerous studies indicate that 80%+ of the population wants to write a book some day.
You must make time to write a book.
Writing, and art in general, looks whimsical and creative from the outside, but those of us who've actually finished a book (or several) know that writing requires discipline, time management, and saying no to things.
The consumer only sees it as a finished project. It's simply there. A book. A cartoon. A song. A painting. A movie.
But the creator knows that that creation was only possible because he or she uttered a lot of no's.
No, I can't go to the movie. No, I don't have time to grab a glass of wine. I love you, but no, I can't go to the park right now.
And I also know from experience that it's even harder to prioritize the writing when you don't have the extra practicality shield of, "I'm paying the bills, yo." You start to feel guilty. After all, you don't have to write. It's not what puts food on the table. Except oh, yeah, you're not feeding your soul if you're a writer who isn't writing, but who cares about that, right?
And of course, life is so short! None of us want to risk missing out on A Moment with someone we love.
But if you want to make a go of this writing thing for real, the most important thing you can do is to protect your writing time.
If you treat your writing like a hobby, other people will too. A hobby is a splurge, something to be done any old time. Friends and family will not understand why you're choosing a hobby over spending time with them. But people understand and respect work. You wouldn't ask your spouse to skip a work shift because you wanted to go see the latest Avengers movie. He or she shouldn't ask you to skip your daily writing time to go see the movie either.
Master the art of "No, but ..."
If someone asks you to do something during a time you'd set aside for writing, embrace the phrase: "No, but ..."
"No, I can't play Scrabble with you right now, but I can't wait to do that at four o'clock!" "No, I can't grab drinks tonight, but are you free next Wednesday?" "No, tonight isn't good for a date night, but let's go to our favorite restaurant tomorrow."
It tells the peope you love that the writing is important to you. And that they are too.
This is a hard one for me. Years into my writing career, I still have to resist the urge not to say, "Ugh, I'm so sorry, but I can't, I'm on deadline!" The truth is, I'm not sorry. My writing is my passion, my life, my first love. I refuse to apologize for making it a priority. And when you apologize, people will assume that writing is some sort of burden that you must take on and shift their tactic to saying things like, "You should really take a break, you work too hard," which is a whole other exhausting can of worms. Remember, "No, but ..." Not, "No, sorry!"
Remember, loving and prioritizing writing doesn't mean that you love and prioritize your family and friends less. There is room for both. Make sure you make room!


any large, web-footed, seabird of the family Sulidae, having a sharply pointed bill, long wings, and a wedge-shaped tail, noted for its plunging dives for fish.
As a rule the Gannet does not approach the shore, except to breed, but follows the shoals of fish far out at sea.
On the coast itself; there were the usual sea-birds—the gannet and the sea-gull—and fish in abundance.
It came across the lake in a perfect wall of water, shutting out their view of Gannet Island and everything else.
Whether seen at its nest, or when fishing at sea, the Gannet is a remarkably interesting bird.
Neither wagon nor box could have 246 got out here, fifteen or twenty rods off Gannet Island.
Old English ganot "gannet, sea-bird, water fowl," from Proto-Germanic *ganito (cf. Dutch gent, Middle High German ganiz, Old High German ganazzo), from PIE *ghans- (see goose). Old French gante is from Germanic.


The Spooky Vegan: Limited Edition God Module "Séance" Box Set Available for Pre-Order!
Limited Edition God Module "Séance" Box Set Available for Pre-Order!
One of my absolutely favorite bands and purveyors of "spooky dance music", God Module, have announced a very special limited edition box set of their new CD, Séance!
Webster's Dictionary defines the term "séance" as a spiritualist sitting to receive spirit communications. With this new album, we find God Module presenting a brutal, uncompromising set of otherworldly songs. Hypnotizing rhythms, ritualistic hooks, and lyrical content exploring the darkest corners of the human psyche all blend seamlessly into the singular, demonic vision that is Séance. God Module mastermind Jasyn Bangert is once again joined by Courtney Bangert as well as new member Clint Carney (System Syn, Imperative Reaction). Séance has opened a doorway to something dark, something evil.
Only 100 will be created and assembled by God Module! They will be individually numbered and signed by the band. All items are packed inside a 14.5 x 11.5 faux leather bound hard box, including a custom God Module Ouija Board that is suitable for framing or contacting the beyond!
NO exclusive element of these packages will be sold separately. To keep these exclusive, we are offering this as a complete package ONLY. You cannot buy the glow in the dark version of the shirts, custom box, art print, button set, postcard or Ouija board and planchette separately!
The shirts will be available in all sizes (men's S-3X - girl shirts S-XL (baby doll type). Each shirt will be custom printed per order after the pre-sale is over. That means you do not have to worry about us running out of your size while the package remains available.
This is a PRE-ORDER so all box sets and bundles will be sent out on or before the release date of the CD which is September 13th 2011!
Now that is a must have for the graveyard!!! Thanks for the heads up!!
Cool package. A favorite band of mine, The Black Dahlia Murder, did a similar box set release for their "Ritual" cd this past June. Came with a ouija board, "coffin nails," incense cones, and a sage wand.
I like that bands are getting more creative with their releases now.

Thank you so much for the most amazing day wedding day. As always, you guys performed above and beyond and made the day everything we had hoped for and more. We had so many compliments on the food, the service and the venue in general. Thank you!
A big thanks to The Joinery for all they did for our wedding. We are still getting so many comments about the venue and how attentive and amazing the staff were. Most guests have said it's the best wedding they have been to because of the amazing food and how well the staff attended to everyone's needs. Thanks again!
We can't thank The Joinery team enough for everything they did in the lead up to our wedding and on the day! They were honestly the best and The Joinery was the perfect venue for our wedding! We couldn't imagine it being anywhere else. We had such a wonderful night!! Thank you so much!
We approached The Joinery because we loved their fresh warehouse-like space. It's sleek, modern and classy - perfect for our VIP luxury car launch! The catering was amazing, with the team customising a menu to match our specific brief of high-end Americano-style catering for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Joinery is such a great venue with exceptional customer service. I have and will continue to recommend the Joinery to anyone that is looking for a fresh venue option in Brisbane.
Channel 7 Brisbane hosted their 2016 Program Launch at The Joinery. The space is predominantly a blank canvas which allowed us to perfectly theme and style the space as we pleased. The catering was delightful and the wait staff were faultless in their delivery throughout the night. The team were brilliant in their organisation of our event and were on hand every step of the way, pre, during and post event. We could not be happier with our experience with this venue and look forward to returning for our next event.


Science and engineering was the theme of the day on Monday for many of our year 8 and 9 students. Mr Rahim organised an inspiring event which challenged our students to apply their scientific knowledge in an engineering context. They all thoroughly enjoyed the day and gained much from it.
All students are to be congratulated on the way they have coped with some of the extreme weather conditions we have experienced this week. They have continued to focus on their studies and behave in an appropriate manner throughout the week. Well done to everyone!
As ever, Light Hall students have been demonstrating their care and respect for others. Year councils have been discussing the types of fundraising activities they would like to run for Red Nose Day in March. We are all looking forward to hearing their proposals! Those that have come forward so far have been very inventive and I am sure break and lunchtime in those days will be lots of fun.
My very best wishes for a relaxing weekend.

One of the beauties of Central Europe's attractions is their proximity to one another; Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria can easily be combined on a fascinating itinerary. The intricate waterways of Venice's romantic canals blend seamlessly with the city's rich past and magnificent architecture, whilst a short boat ride across the Gulf of Venice transports visitors to the charming coastal town of Portoroz, Slovenia. Ancient Opatija heralds the Croatian Riviera, with sandy beaches fringed by the inviting Adriatic Sea, from where picturesque Lake Bled and historic Ljubljana are easily accessible. Austria's charming cities of Graz and Vienna can also be included on a Central European itinerary, enabling exploration of the countrys rich history and a boat ride on the mighty Danube River.
Dear Charles, here we are back in San Francisco, on our way back to Mexico and wanting to thank you and your company for this marvellous tour. We really enjoyed our trip.

The last week has been somewhat good for 'media' 'appearances' of your truly. Last Saturday there was an article in the Irish Times on the homegrown Irish comics scene. I got a couple of choice quotes, and they even called Last bus "a small press gem". Awesome. I'm going to use that in all my self promotional garbage from now on. Seriously though, it's a very well researched and written story, check it out here.
I was also interviewed by the ever delightful Liam Geraghty for the Comic Cast. If you can get past the first ten minutes of faltering answers, half finished sentences, ums, ahs, yeah and … um yyeeaahh all set to a backdrop of nail hammering and Jeff Buckley ambience I think I may have made some sense. Never knew I could think aloud so incoherently when I try to describe my work.
Anyway, Last Bus issue two is now available in my online shop. If you live in Dublin, pick it up in Story on Crow Corner, Sub City, The Winding Stair or Forbidden Planet.
Off to Bristol on Saturday morning, volcano permitting. Will have a new mini comic version of an old story , an illustrated postcard set (which is related to the image above), alongside brand new editions of In The Aquarium, Stop Gap, and both issues of Last Bus.

Son of Anderson Smith Randal and Sophia Mitchell, Roland Pickney Randall (known to friends and family as "Roley" or "Rolly") was born on February 2, 1866, in Franklin County, Georgia.1) Roland Pickney Randall was named in honor of Sophia's brother, Roland Mitchell.
On August 12, 1886, Roland Pickney Randall married his first wife, Georgia Alice Hall (July 26, 1866 - March 2, 1892)2) in Franklin County, Georgia (often "misreported" as her having married "RT Randall"). Georgia Alice Hall was the daughter of David Boyd Hall (June 30, 1840 – November 21, 1911)3)4) and Cynthia E. Galloway (December 23, 1839 – January 25, 1876)5)6).
See 7-4 (above) from "Our Kin" (published 1958) reporting the marriage of Reese Richard Bird to Flossie Mae Randall.
Georgia Hall-Randall died (at age 25) in childbirth along with her infant daughter, Bernice Terrilla Randall).14) They were buried at "Martin Family Cemetery" in Carnesville (Franklin County), Georgia.
Tombstone for Georgia Hall-Randall (July 26, 1866 - March 2, 1892) and her infant daughter Bernice Terrilla Randall, who was dead at birth.
During 1894, Roland Pickney Randall (age 28) married Eugenia "Genie" Bishop (age 20).15) 16) 17) Eugenia "Genie" Bishop was born in Spartanburg (Cherokee County), SC, the daughter of Henry Willis Bishop & Mary "Polly" Fields-Bishop.
Elzora Eugenia Randall (March 19, 1901 in Ila (Madison County), GA - June 27, 1988 in Atlanta, GA).
Comer Henry Randall, Sr. (Oct. 17, 1903 - July, 1974) Comer's middle name, Henry, was likely in tribute to Eugenia's father, Henry Bishop.
Robbie Ray Randall (Nov. 27, 1910 - ). On March 1, 1932, she married William W. Hibbert, Jr.
Martha Virginia Randall (Aug. 25, 1914 - ) Married to Vernon Miller.
Most of the original 1890 U.S. Federal Census records were destroyed or badly damaged by a fire in the Commerce Department in 1921. Records enumerating only 6,160 individuals—less than one percent of the schedules—survived. Those for the Randal family were destroyed.
1900 U.S. Census. Roland's family begins on line 9.
Note: The census indicates that Roland and Genie had been married for 6 years; and that Genie was the mother of 2 living children, suggesting that daughters Eva & Flossie were from her previous marriage (otherwise, "Genie" would have had Eva when she was 14 years old and Flossie when she was 16 years old). This is supported by descendants Wm. Robt. Randall, Sr. & Jr., who stated that Eugenia was the 2nd wife of Roland Pinckney Randall.
Apparently, sometime between the 1900 US Census and the 1910 US Census, Roland P. Randall and his family lived in Ila (Madison County), Georgia (about 25 miles South of Lavonia, Georgia), as that was where both Elzora Eugenia Randall and Comer Henry Randall, Sr. were born.
Note: "Alzora" was obviously "Elzora". Also, the census indicates that all but the youngest children (Comer & Mattie) could read and write.
1910 U.S. Census. Roland's (Roley) family begins on line 25.
Roland Pickney Randall's tombstone (to the right of his wife's tombstone).
Inscribed: "Rolly P. Randall - Feb. 2, 1866 – Aug. 23, 1915.
1920 U.S. Census. Eugenia Randall's family begins on line 9.
Township or other Division of County: Bryants Dist.
Note: All of the children should have listed their father's birthplace as Georgia.
Death Certificate for Mattie Grace Randall-Skelton. Cause of death: Post Partal Complications.
It is curious that Mattie Grace Randall-Skelton's husband, Shaffer Judson Skelton, was not listed on her "Death Certificate". Nor was her married name of "Skelton" included on her tombstone (in fact, she "may" have had her son out of wedlock). Adding to these curious circumstances, Her son, Roland Randall Skelton, was taken in and raised by his grandmother, Eugenia Randall.
1930 U.S. Census. Eugenia Randall's family begins on line 11. Her son, Comer Randall, and his family lived next door… appearing on line 14.
Note: One of the questions on this Census was: "Age at first marriage"… to which Eugenia reported as "19" (she was actually 20 at that time).
Eugenia Randall with her grandson, Roland Randall Skelton. Date not known.
1940 US Census. Eugenia Randall's family begins on line 27.

When Daniel Craig Took A Sly Dig At Kardashians Calling Them 'F–king Idiots'
Once he became quite candid about privacy and took a sly dig at the Kardashians as well.
Did You Know? Daniel Craig Took A Dig At Kardashians Calling Them 'F–king Idiots' ( Photo Credit – Movie Still ; Kardashians Poster )
British actor Daniel Craig rose to international fame for playing the role of James Bond in the eponymous film series, beginning with Casino Royale which was released in 2006. He starred in further four instalments of the franchise including the latest release No Time To Die.
However, off-screen the English star is known for being a private man. Once he became quite candid about privacy and took a sly dig at the Kardashians as well.
Talking to British GQ Magazine, Daniel Craig had made his point across that he's chosen to keep his personal life as private as he can since he feels that there's no going back once it's out there. He said, "I think there's a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel. You can't buy it back. You can't buy your privacy back. 'Ooh, I want to be alone. 'F–k you. We've been in your living room. We were at your birth. You filmed it for us and showed us the placenta, and now you want some privacy?'"

Rami Malek: "James Bond Is Daniel' Craig's Home…"
The English actor then also went on to call out on reality TV family in particular — The Kardashians. "Look at the Kardashians, they're worth millions. I don't think they were that badly off [financially] to begin with but now look at them. You see that and you think, 'What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f–king idiot on television and then you'll pay me millions?'" Craig said.
Meanwhile, No Time To Die will be the last Bond film for Daniel Craig as he decided to step down from the role. Back in 2019, the British star said to German news site Express, "Yes, someone else needs to have a go." He also confirmed his decision to leave the role during his opening monologue on Saturday Night Live in March of 2020.

It's poooouuuurrrrrinnnggg! I love it. I love listening to rain as I read, or write, or draw, or rearrange my collection of hand-painted Royal Doulton porcelain clowns. It's the perfect soundtrack for quiet activity. Or no activity at all. After a week of really hot weather, I'm once again in my hoody, drinking a hot beverage, and appreciating the heck out of this big ol' drink of water falling on our droughty city.
I kept my walk fairly short today, only about 45 minutes. The skies were rather moody. But…didn't get rained on, and I'm happy to report I stole my first bouquet of lilacs today. It's kinda, sorta a public area, but what's a girl to do? I don't have a lilac bush…or is that a tree? Not sure. I don't have a green thing that sprouts purple things in the spring, therefore I have no choice but to steal other people's purple things.
Hmmm…no chocolate. That's a problem, but I'll take the storm.
This particular route follows the south side of the river all the way from the University to Skunk Hollow, otherwise known as Lavigne Road. It's a steep drop from Saskatchewan Drive, and it's lined by three-story houses and …uh…public lilac bushes (or trees.) When I first started walking more than a decade ago, I relied on this route to get me home. It links to downtown and many other paths, and it's quite lovely. Almost every time I walk this path I see Dennis Hopper circa Easy Rider, biking through the woods. Except it's not Dennis Hopper, it's some middle-aged guy in a fringed jacket and leather hat riding his tricked-out mustang bicycle. Born to be Wild in south Edmonton.
I rarely take the Skunk Hollow route now, simply because I've discovered other, longer paths, but the thought crossed my mind today that if the area south of Louise McKinney Park becomes inaccessible due to that fu%$#! LRT extension, I will be taking this path more often. Way more often. As far as my weekday excursions into the river valley are concerned, the proposed LRT construction is going to be the equivalent of an axe.
At least I have my hand-painted Royal Doulton porcelain clowns, and the rain. And the contraband lilacs.

Episode 13 -
Brandon Fluharty
VP Strategic Accounts, LivePerson
Everyone is wondering how sales technology will affect the future of enterprise selling. Brandon Fluharty discusses key tools in your sales technology stack, strategic selling, and the future of A.I. and enterprise sales. If you are interested in strategic enterprise selling and the ways sales technology will shape the future, listen today.
Justin Michael Welcome back to Vendor Neutral in the Neutral Zone, Quantum Leap Podcast, and I'm your host, Justin Michael. Today, we have a special guest, Brandon Fluharty, who is a sales leader at LivePerson. How are you doing today, Brandon?
Brandon Fluharty Hey, Justin. Doing well.
Justin Michael Well, it's great meeting you, and I'm a big fan of LivePerson because I've been telling reps that they got to sit on the front of their website and capture some of these inbound leads for many years, but I know there's a lot more you're doing than that. And so I really wanted to interview you about kind of the [00:00:32]future of enterprise selling and some of the tech stack stuff. [2.5s] What's on your mind today?
Brandon Fluharty Yeah, so actually, we're in a completely different environment as [00:00:42]enterprise strategic sellers. [1.1s] We've been sort of forced in this remote first, remote only environment. I think any enterprise sellers out there were accustomed, as I was. About a year ago, we were fine hopping on a plane to go visit a prospect or a client and hop on a plane to go across the country and spend an hour with them face to face. We've all lost that face to face interaction. So I think it's forced us to sort of [00:01:14]reevaluate our technology, our relationship with technology, [2.4s] and how we can continue to stay connected with our prospects and clients. So that's sort of top of mind for me. It's kind of going through that shift.
Justin Michael It makes sense, and so [00:01:27]selling in the Enterprise remotely, [1.2s] the first big fear is we can't connect maybe at the event or the conference, what are some of the techniques for really still deepening that relationship with decision-makers be they C level or influencers in this fully remote environment? What are some tactics and tips that you have for listeners?
Brandon Fluharty One, I think video has become sort of critical. It was sort of played with before, and I think it's become critical in the sales motions of Enterprise and strategic sellers. So whether that's a connection over LinkedIn, email, prepping for a meeting, post-meeting, kind of using the likes of Loom or Vidyard, and just using video to sort of prep and follow through. I'm seeing the emergence of videos as being a big thing. I think also this transition from being a good storyteller, which you always needed to be in sales to story creators as a B2B to C SAAS company that LivePerson is. We've been utilizing some really cool technology. Once called Botsociety, you would think bot society is creating bots or chatbots. It's actually creating bot experiences, so it's just making it much easier to sort of create those vision assets that you need to sell the big vision to the C suite. And it gives us the ability to instead of go-to marketing and wait a week or two to create that vision video, we're more enabled to just DIY it ourselves and share some snippets, whether it's an image with that company's brand or even a video of a potential experience, a conversational experience where we're selling conversational commerce to brands at LivePerson to be able to create that very quickly. That's kind of cool. That's been a big shift as well.
Justin Michael So conversational commerce, interesting term. How are you bringing change into the Enterprise? You're selling a disruptive solution still because we're still not quite there. Everyone has embraced these kind of technologies. How are you kind of helping executives take a look at this stuff? Managing that change, getting inside an organization, landing, expanding. It's just, in general, that's kind of hard with disruptive technologies. A lot of folks listening probably have disrupted elements of what they're doing, or they're trying to do what you're doing is bring disruptive best practices into their organization themselves.
Brandon Fluharty Yeah, so luckily, a lot of it comes back to being customers of these brands ourselves. So whether that's our telco provider, our cable company, our bank, we know there are still painful processes out there and the mode of operation for a lot of these big brands when it comes to customer service and customer experiences. We don't want to talk with you; we build this so-called digital fortress. We want you to self-service because it costs too much money to communicate with you. And so it is very easy to capture those things. Right. Like this was the experience I had when I tried reaching out to you. There are even businesses out there like get human dot com that captures Twitter feeds for some of the major brands out there of how long or how much people are complaining about their businesses. It's not that difficult to kind of showcase; hey, here's the experience I had with your brands. And one tactic that I used to when Delta Airlines was I was spending every week on their planes. This was when I first started at LivePerson, and they promoted on the T.V. screens, on the seatbacks text with friends and family. And so I sort of sent a screenshot of that, and I sent a screenshot of my Diamond Medallion status and said, I'm on your plane every week. I also just happened to work for a company that fixes these problems with other major brands. And I see that you promote messaging between friends and family, but I can't message you when I need help when I want to change my flight. And I sent an open letter digitally on Medium and send it as a private link, and they went all the way up to Ed Bastian, the CEO. I could see that he opened it, and I think a few days later, I got three different phone calls from executives that I had targeted in that specific outreach reaching out to me. This is actually very timely. We want to have a conversation, and nine months later, we're doing a three-year strategic deal.
Justin Michael, I love that story. I do. I was in enterprise sales quite a while, so that warms my heart. I think the biggest takeaway is the audience is listening. You know, I remember being at Salesforce in the days of Radian6 and Buddy Media. People are listening to Twitter, and they're listening to what's out there, and they do care all the way up. So those of you did something personalized and relevant. So tell me about [00:06:53]outreach, [0.0s] you know. What are you doing to make your emails and calls, your pitches more effective? I think that's something, an interesting topic. I mean, that's a very customized campaign.
Brandon Fluharty Yeah.
Justin Michael Do you always operate that way? What got you from, like, standard outreach to going and having the gut instincts to be able to put something like that together? I think people struggle with getting out of the white space like, well, that's great he thought of that because he was on Delta. Is it a secret shopper mentality? Is it getting closer to the brand? How could someone emulate that? Because that's pretty customized.
Brandon Fluharty Yeah, and this was sort of pre our SDR days. We didn't even have an SDR team when I sort of came on, I was sort of full-cycle [00:07:36]strategic selling [0.6s], and then we have since implemented an SDR team. But I do work very closely with our SDR team to sort of bring some of those custom elements. And I sort of advise them, especially with strategic accounts. Less is more, not to be cliche, but focusing actually less on trying to get quantity of meetings, but to go deeper and do your proper due diligence, understand a little bit about it's, for strategic accounts, again, is my specialty. It's less about so much the account-based marketing. It's more about the contact-based marketing. We know exactly the types of executives we want to talk with. They're typically leaders of the contact center or perhaps digital leaders and or marketing leaders. When you sort of look at the full cycle of conversational care and commerce, those are all the big players that we want to engage with and speak with and could benefit from our solution. So it's understanding a bit about what do they really care about? What is the north star of the company, what are they trying to achieve? And then kind of figuring out what the current experience is? And can you sort of tease that a bit in a storyboard fashion that you're not just throwing up and digesting, forcing them to digest all that information upfront, because we are a big transformation, that type of solution. You don't want to overwhelm them, but just kind of tease them. Hey, here's a screenshot of, I sent a message on Facebook Messenger. I haven't gotten a response in a few days. We can fix this. Let's have a conversation. So those sort of things tend to get the results. Then once we have the conversation, that's when we start to paint the broader picture and pull in more folks across the organization. Then that's my job. Right? SDR's, hey, get us in there. Let's have that conversation, and then it's my job to bring it home.
Justin Michael I think that's phenomenal. Are there some methodologies and processes that you enjoy that you feel are still modern, or is it what's old is new? And there's so much debate about modernized selling. It's social, and it's all changed. And now I know the neuroscience is the same, but how are you leveraging old and new together? Because that's a big thing for sales leaders right now. It's like, you know, I'm going to ask about sales technology stacks too, but first methodology success, It sounds like you're having a lot of success. You're getting high up in the C suite using a content approach and deep personalization and relevance. But overall, is there a methodology or process you like? A qualification framework?
Brandon Fluharty I try to really steer away from pinning myself to specific methodology. At the company holistically, we have found, at least in the enterprise space and strategic accounts MEDDIC does, it does tend to be a framework that we follow. But as someone who is introverted, I think one thing that that I have really focused on that I think has been an asset actually in [00:11:02]strategic selling [0.6s] more than my earlier days. I climbed the ranks from SMB selling little print advertising to local businesses to go up the chain a bit to and then mid-market and Enterprise to eventually strategic selling. I think I'm most at home in strategic selling based upon my introverted attributes because that allows me to be hyper strategic and focused on the smaller subset of accounts where I can go deep. And that's where some writing skills starts to come to the forefront, where I can do some really creative things upfront to get their attention or work and maybe write a press release headline or a PR FAQ that's common with Amazon. We have a lot of Amazonian in our culture on the tech side in the product team. But kind of bringing in that process, like thinking three years from now what that company could look like if they went through a conversational transformation and then kind of work backwards with here's how you get there. I think executives sort of appreciate that. I could read a one page press release like here's the vision. Here's what you're trying to do with me. I understand. And then another page of FAQ. Here's how we realistically do that. The small steps to get there. I think it's kind of those things mixed with video emails or LinkedIn messages and making sure that once you are on camera, you're performing well. You're doing all the things to be a good video seller because you can't be in person. I think those, the combination of those things, it's not so much what's being done in person in the storytelling that we've all relied on in the past. And those events, those white-glove events. And we used to do them a lot as well. And that was a big way that we got new logos acquired, was having them talk with our current customers. That was a winning combination. So how do we do that as strategic sellers in video format? And I think you've got to go deep. You got to do a little bit of the work for them. Think about the future. And that just takes time. It takes deep work. So you've got to keep your calendar clear for that. You got to focus on going a few levels further with your prospects.
Justin Michael That's great feedback, so tell me about sales technology stacks going into there's so much lore and mythology about what A.I. and M.L. can do? What these things actually do? You're a very experienced enterprise sales leader. What's actually moving the needle? Right? You don't need to mention maybe the name of the companies because we are a vendor neutral, but talk to me about some flavors of tech stacks, like are you listening back to your calls? Are you automating your emails? Is that something more for your SDR's that support you and your team? But like, what is sizzling, what is steak? What is what's actually moving the needle? People are really trying to evaluate the stuff. They're trying to cut tooling or consolidate, add things that are critical. It's tough.
Brandon Fluharty Yeah, I don't mind talking about our sales technology stack and kind of mentioning who we are and is still all an evolution. So Vidyard is sort of the video tool that we're starting to use, very early days, so still trying to understand and figure that out. I've personally played around with Drift video. I find that actually a very user-friendly tool. I've just kind of picked it up on my own and tried around and experimented with it. So I've tried both of those, Outreach, mostly our SDR's utilize or Google Suites. So kind of tied in with our Gmail efforts and Google Calendar. And then, Chorus A.I. we do use for our Zoom calls and recordings. We use Zoom for our meetings. And then I don't have a whole lot right. Because I'm strategic, but I will go listen to those Chorus A.I. recordings, and I will get benefit out of it. I'm a strict believer in always focus on enhancing your performance. And then I kind of liken sellers as professional athletes, and we should look more holistically across the board. And funny enough, that's some new, interesting technology I've started to really investigate. So for one, I wear a woop, a wearable. I'm also a cyclist in my personal life. So it's helpful there, but I've sort of been bringing it into my work life as well. So I'm sort of really obsessive about letting the A.I. on my wrist kind of dictate when I should be going to sleep so I can either peak tomorrow, perform tomorrow or just get by. It literally gives me those three options. I marry that with something called Rise. Rise Science actually focuses on either athletes or sellers, and there's a lot of really great research that Rise has put out there that sleep should be sellers' number one KPI, and I'm a big believer in that as well. If you put sleep and decrease your sleep debt, it makes you more empathetic, it makes you sharper and all of those things, and you can start to actually carve out your day based on your natural circadian rhythm. So, during my high energy peaks, that's when I should be talking with my, my strategic accounts during my low energy, what's called an afternoon dip, when my energy wanes, and usually I would go get coffee instead of getting coffee that's when I could go do maybe a little bit of exercise or get my administrative CRM updates, get that stuff done. Handle email so that I'm not just putting more caffeine in my body and then wrecking my sleep for the night. So I've been really following that, and it's sort of amazing how the outcomes, the positive outcomes are just natural. Right? I'm just more calmer, more satisfied as a human being. But I actually get more done as a salesperson and reaching out to some more accounts and having higher quality conversations during the negotiations or the presentations or the demos or the discovery calls. All those things seem to have been enhanced by focusing on my sleep and overall well being.
Justin Michael That's an important one. I know it's a big Arianna Huffington initiative.
Brandon Fluharty Yeah, yeah, yeah, thrive.
Justin Michael It's drinking enough water. Self-care is really key in mental health for your salespeople. What's the future of selling? Does artificial intelligence take our jobs? Do we automate more? Is still a place for the strategic sales process, human in the sales process? How do you see it personally next couple of years toward 2025? Maybe if we even extend out to 2035, do you have predictions based on being really close to these tech stacks or methodologies? Where do you see stuff going like the acquisition of Slack is very telling, and I'm predicting a lot of micro-communities or the value there. Like I mean, it's a very broad question, but I love your take on it.
Brandon Fluharty Yeah, I think so. Yeah. A lot there. And yeah, this is super exciting stuff, and we're sort of on the front end of this as well. We're tip of the spear, we're seeing the injection of A.I., conversational A.I. and I think that's where you see a sales force really interested in, in the acquisition of Slack and why those acquisitions are happening, that this idea that I can just have a conversation with a colleague or a bot and almost get the same quality of information. That's where I think over the next few years, we see the biggest impact of A.I. happening. And A.I. isn't there to replace jobs. You can't replace a whole job with A.I. You can replace functions of a role. And so I see the biggest shift happening for SDR's relative to A.I. and automation. And here's what I mean with that. So our products, what we're putting out there into the world, we've been extremely disruptive in contact centers, and contact center agents now are shifting, and they have a whole new career path when they can be enabled with our technology. We call it the conversational cloud they can go from being, say, a voice agent who used to manage one on one conversations. And I can guarantee you, as you could probably expect, those conversations are not good with consumers, and now they're moving beyond, and they went through their chat world where ok they got a type, and they'll have maybe one or two conversations open that they got to close out. Not not a big leap in their career to now moving over to when consumers can just message. Right. Like a Delta Airlines or a Verizon. And, you know, that's in the same threads of conversation with my mom and my wife. That's when the other end, the contact center agents can start utilizing A.I. to take advantage of containing a lot of those conversations. And so they're sitting back. And what we've seen is these contact center agents have become bot managers. So it's the bot that is on the front end actually taking care of the conversation. And because we give them really easy, easy to use tools, they're sort of just making a few little modifications here and there. But it's the A.I. that skills these conversations for companies. And it's in now the contacts agents like I'm a bot manager, I can actually make more money if it's commerce related. We have a big-box retailer who's utilizing a small team in the Dominican Republic to sell things like grills and refrigerators and front doors that can all be bot related conversations. And it's the the human hit sort of on the other side. Like, all I have to do is fine-tune them, and I can make a lot more money than I ever did answering phones. So I see a lot of that starting to going to take place over the next few years. For starters, we're going to see similar things happening in the skill set for us. The hours will be how are you based on your conversational design skills, more so than your phone skills. And I think that will be a big shift that we'll start to see because as communication becomes more and more digital, it's going to be more of the stars who are managing all of these bots who can have more scaled conversation with prospects. Then you can just by traditional cold calling or a multi-channel approach of email, LinkedIn, and phone. I think that will be the biggest shift and the biggest impact there. And then strategic sellers'. Like myself, I think we'll continue to need to step in and have those conversations. I don't think big brands are going to be ready to self-service and buy major SAAS transformations. It's going to be hard to buy those big SAAS transformations. But you can bet that procurement will want to bypass as much human interaction as possible and get down to what they need. But there's still a lot of value that a human seller can provide and making sure that they understand the full capabilities of what's what they are providing.
Justin Michael So I find this fascinating. So we're talking about rather than lower scale conversations as SDR's or third party SDR's, but the utilization of conversational design, because I do think the premier skill of sellers of all kinds in the 2020s is writing. I agree with Scott Leese on that. But the kind of writing is really interesting because it's not expository essay writing, the tremendous trend in things like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger and text and these shorter form interactions where the traditional sales cycle is non-linear. It's like a Mobius strip is just moving in these wild spirals, almost like some geometry. So moving in the chatbot direction. How can people become better at conversational design?
Brandon Fluharty That's a good question. Yeah, it is a good question, and I think we're already. We're already conversational designers by default, right? We're accustomed to sending short messages, right, especially the younger generation, where if you've grown up on Twitter and you've been limited to a set of characters, you know how to have short, quick conversations. So social media, messaging apps, those have inherently made us, and I think the generation coming up in sales for the first time, they already are by nature conversational designers. Now, it will be the A.I. and the analytics that helps guide them. Right. Like I was talking about earlier, the woop is guiding me to better wellness behaviors around sleep and exercise. And we're seeing this from companies like RingDNA, and it's happening primarily over phone, over voice. So if you are having a conversation, RingDNA is cool technology that will sort of coach you on what to say based on the conversation happening. We'll see that obviously play out in a digital environment as well so that you can sort of design the perfect message right to the perfect brand on LinkedIn when you're sending that initial email or email or even over messaging, there's going to be all kinds of cool ways that you can tweak that. And then the analytics sort of guide, ok this was successful conversational design here's the right approach to landing these types of or getting into these big accounts. So it's going to be fascinating because that's what companies need. They don't want to hire more and more talent and more headcount. What they need to do is get more out of their technology. And there needs to be, and there will continue to be more symbiotic relationship between human intelligence and artificial intelligence and be able to scale that. If you can have more conversations going out. I don't have to be on the phone one on one with a prospect cold calling them, which they don't want anyways. I can start sending these smaller snippets that are more effective across more contacts, and then that will create the scale that businesses need to continue to get the results that they need.
Justin Michael What's your advice going out and looking at ABM, account-based marketing, and getting your targeting strategy for your marketing, your inbounds, and your outbound, and even going after Marketplace is another huge question, but we're in a world where we've moved toward very laser-focused, personalized content marketing campaigns that are driving things inbound, even strategically at the right level, the right ICP, and then the Enterprise is working closely. Sales and marketing together. So it's kind of a two-parter, as I look at ABM, account-based marketing, and account-based sales as two sides of the same coin. You really want marketing bringing the right leads inbound and then outbound progressing that. But oddly, sometimes it's a silo, and it feels almost like two different things. How do you interface with your marketing team in your position? What are some recommendations doing that? Are you guys doing that?
Brandon Fluharty Yeah, I, I agree with you that I think those lines continue to be blurred, and we've seen it in the COVID world that we're living in. So I used to interface pre COVID with marketing quite often. I relied on their efforts to get prepped for that in-person meeting or that demo. So there was a lot of human effort around deck design and vision videos, and we use microsites a lot. To now, I'm more empowered even though I'm a strategic seller and like a V.P. title, I'm doing more myself than I ever have in my career at Liveperson. I almost think that that's a good thing. You kind of think that the higher you climb as an individual contributor or seller, once you're in a leading position, you want to delegate as much as possible. But I think we're actually going to be more empowered through technology to do more DIY things faster. And that's going to be the key so that that line starts to disappear between those silos, between marketing and sales. And it's kind to be almost empowering sellers to do their own like I was saying earlier, story creation, not just storytelling, but you almost have to be able to create stories with digital assets to get these massive brands to take notice. So I think we'll start to see more and more of that.
Justin Michael There's actually a book, Ben Zoldan "What Great Salespeople Do" with Mike Bosworth, and it's about story tending, story creation. I'm a huge believer that the right brain is the part that's missing in a lot of the sales approaches. We buy with emotion, and we justify with logic, and your stories really do highlight that. We're coming to a close here, the half-hour. What is one motivational quote or something you're reading that's inspiring you right now in these times because people look for inspiration?
Brandon Fluharty Yeah, one thing that's been helpful to me, and I'm almost finished with it, "Deep" Work by Cal Newport, an amazing book. I think it's made me kind of rethink, again, as a strategic seller. It's made me go more focused on, hey, if I can dedicate more time to deep work, getting more strategic, getting more tactical with the accounts that are in my pipeline, I don't have to rely on sort of what the old philosophy used to be, which is I've got to have a robust pipeline at all times. I have to have all these balls in motion. I found that going deeper, being better with less, can actually generate better results than just relying on a pipeline because you know you're going to make mistakes, and somebody falls through. I would say go for less, go deeper on those, develop higher-quality relationships and thinking for your prospects, and the results will be there for you.
Justin Michael Awesome, thank you, Brandon. Well, where can people find you online so they can connect after this episode and network with you?
Brandon Fluharty Yeah, so I'm extremely active on LinkedIn. That's probably the best way to connect with me. Brandon Fluharty and I'm on active, active on Twitter as well, as Brandon Tech Exec is my handle there.
Justin Michael Awesome really enjoyed having you on the show. And thanks for your time. Happy holidays.

I invite you to dive deeper into that voice you might have forgotten but your soul remembers. Using the voice makes us happy, alive and exhilarated. It touches us in places we haven´t visited before, as the voice contains so many untapped potentials. Any part of a person which is out of balance (experienced as pain, fatigue, distress or hurt) can respond effectively to healing with sound. The voice is your natural source of power and wisdom that longs to be explored and experienced with trust self-love and patience.
In a session, we start with a short consultation to find out which difficulties or issues you like to focus on. Together we explore what needs to be released and where it is held in the body. Soul Voice® Sessions can be either active or passive.
During a passive session you are laying down comfortably and I tune into the energy of your body. I will then release layer by layer the blocked energy with my voice.
In an active session, you can use your own voice to release blocked energies. I support you with my voice and help you to be open for your own inner wisdom. I encourage you to use your unique healing voice, where every tone is needed.
Releasing energy blocks with human voice creates often dissonant sounds. When the energy blocks dissolve and the energy starts to flow again the sounds will change into harmonious ones. Now the body will be filled with these healing sounds that help to integrate the new energy patterns effecting every cell. This will induce regeneration and balance.
If you have the longing of treating yourself with soothing and comforting feelings, enjoy the effects of this deeply relaxing and harmonising sound bath. I will sound intuitively to body parts which I sense need relaxation the most, but also to the body as a whole. The vocal sound bath is also a way to gently get in contact with voice healing work.
Chakras are the energy centres of our body and the sensory organs of our soul. A chakra balancing session helps to balance body, mind and soul, brings inner regeneration and harmony. It also strengthens the immune system and activates the powers of self-healing. For the session, I use a combination of intuitive healing, vocal sounds and healing hands.
All sessions have a deep impact on your body and your soul.
Please allow yourself enough time after the treatment. If possible take a minimum of a half hour time to help your body integrating and adapting slowly to "normal life" again. Drink lots of water.


At Wordfence we constantly analyze patterns of brute force attacks to improve the protection our firewall and malware scan provides. We recently took a closer look at brute force attack targets, specifically XMLRPC and wp-login, to gain a deeper understanding of how attackers behave.
In WordPress, there are several ways to authenticate, or sign in to, your website. The two most common ways to authenticate are using the standard login page located at wp-login.php, and by using XMLRPC.
The XMLRPC method is usually used by applications like mobile apps to authenticate before you are able to perform privileged actions on the site.
We analyzed brute force attack data over a 2 week period from January 16th until January 29th to determine which target attackers prefer to attack. Here are the results of our analysis.
Which Target Receives More Brute Force Attacks?
During a two week period we saw almost exactly the same number of attacks on XMLRPC as wp-login. We saw a total of 106 million attacks on wp-login compared to 108 million attacks on XMLRPC.
This result surprised me because I assumed that attackers targeting XMLRPC would be more sophisticated or perhaps creative. But on reflection it takes about the same amount of effort to write an attack script or bot that brute force attacks either target. So this makes sense.
How Many Attackers Hit Both XMLRPC and WP-Login?
The above graph shows the number of unique IP addresses per attack target. Note that this is not the number of attacks, but number of attackers counted as unique IP addresses we saw attacking.
While XMLRPC saw slightly more attacks, wp-login saw slightly more unique attackers, as you can see from the above column chart.
We saw 11,453 attackers only targeting XMLRPC. We saw 38,771 attackers only targeting wp-login. And we saw a whopping 224,461 unique IP addresses targeting both XMLRPC and wp-login.
Clearly most brute force attacks target both XMLRPC and wp-login.
Do Attackers in Different Countries Prefer XMLRPC or WP-Login?
We analyzed brute force attacks from the top attacking countries and saw an interesting trend. As you can see above, most of the brute force attacks come from Russia and the USA is the second most prolific attacker.
What is interesting here is that the attacks originating in Russia have a strong preference for wp-login as a target. And attacks originating in the USA have the opposite preference. They seem to mostly target XMLRPC instead.
As you can see the majority of the total number of attacks originating in the USA come from Amazon.com which provides cloud computing services to developers. We saw a total of over 144 million attacks over two weeks originate from Amazon.
Most of these brute force attacks were targeted at XMLRPC. What is surprising though is that they came from only 36 unique IP addresses hosted at Amazon. All but 3 of these IP addresses appear to be EC2 instances based on their reverse hostnames.
One possibility is that 36 servers at Amazon EC2 have been compromised and they have been used to launch a very rapid and wide-spread brute force attack during the past 2 weeks. That attack generated over 144 million failed login attempts across the sites we monitor.
An alternative theory is that a developer may be using EC2 to host an application that is trying to sign into WordPress websites using XMLRPC. The application may not handle bad user credentials correctly and may just keep retrying.
It may be a combination of both bad applications hosted at EC2 and compromised servers engaging in a large scale brute force attack.
The data in this post brings up the old debate about whether or not it's a good idea to hide your login page. Unless you hide every login method on your site, attackers will still be able to brute force your website.
If you disable or move XMLRPC, you risk breaking various applications, including mobile applications, that rely on XMLRPC to do their job.
If you hide or move your login page, you are going to inconvenience or confuse your users, and XMLRPC is still an attack vector.
Other authentication methods will soon become available in WordPress via, for example, the WP REST API. These will also be exploited by attackers.
So the action we recommend is that you use a security product like Wordfence to intelligently block brute force attacks, no matter what they target. Wordfence counts brute force attacks across all authentication methods and blocks attackers if they violate security policy.
Wordfence can also help you enforce strong passwords and audit your passwords for strength.
We also track brute force attacks across all the sites we protect and take earlier blocking action against known bad IP addresses that have attacked other websites.
As always I welcome your comments below and I'll be around to join the discussion.
Special thanks to Dan Moen who produced much of the data used in this post and to assistance from our team in analyzing the data.

While the Catholic Church has long opposed the industry, Olson's call adds a powerful voice to the debate about how such practices should be handled in Fort Worth.
The city remains one of the few major urban areas in the state without locally imposed regulations.
City leaders have declined to regulate payday lenders on free-market grounds in the past. That might have been because Cash America International and other current or former payday lenders are based locally.
In response to Olson's comments, City Manager David Cooke said he will need to research state and federal regulations before considering whether a local ordinance is needed.
He should also look at how other cities in Texas enforce their rules, since the city's capacity to do so effectively remains a valid question.
Arlington, for example, passed a set of regulations last year; they took effect in January.
Those rules include limiting payday loans to 20 percent of a borrower's gross monthly income; limiting repayment terms to four installments that each cover 25 percent of the principal; and requiring businesses to register with the city, maintain loan records for at least three years and provide a list of nonprofit credit-counseling agencies to customers.
Those are reasonable restrictions, but it remains to be seen how well they protect vulnerable populations.
Predatory lending practices need further regulation, and Cooke's comments reflect some will to re-engage the City Council on the topic. We await his findings.
The Catholic Church played a significant leadership role in passing Arlington's predatory lending ordinance, and Olson is capable of doing the same in Fort Worth.
Early voting starts Monday for municipal and school elections in Tarrant County, Texas. Here are the endorsements for Fort Worth City Council, Fort Worth school board, Arlington mayor and Tarrant water board.

Next, change the font sizes in your browsers (that will solve nearly all of the rest of your issue right there). Chrome also has a VERY useful default zoom setting for web content, but it's hidden in the advanced settings. I find 125% to be perfect.... Is there a way to increase the font size permanently or across the board on my Apple? I know about the increase size on browsers but that doesn't help in many ways either as the tab type is small.
Apple also produces and distributes system fonts for Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Cyrillic, Indic and Greek scripts, as well as variation encodings of the Roman fonts for Icelandic, Romanian, Turkish, Croatian and the Central European (Slavic) languages.


Energy efficiency is hugely important to us; our founder Mukti Mitchell is well known for his work encouraging people to lead a low carbon lifestyle, and sustainability and environmental responsibility is a cornerstone of the Mitchell & Dickinson values.
We can't afford to keep using the world's limited fossil fuels at the current rate, for the sake of our planet and our wallets. That's why we've devised a package of window, draught and loft insulation solutions for period and listed properties that reduces heat loss by around one third. Our CosyGlazing Secondary Glazing has been designed to improve the energy efficiency of existing windows and reduces heat loss from single glazed windows by 70 per cent.
Since 2010, heating costs have risen by 10 per cent per year. In that year the average British homeowner spent £1,300 on heating, so assuming the same rate of inflation, this looks set to rise to around £3,400 per annum by 2020.
Our package of window, draught and loft insulation costs between £3,000 and £5,000 for the average British home, meaning it usually pays for itself within 4-8 years, representing a financial return of 15-25% per year.
Our range of secondary glazing solutions have been specifically developed to keep owners of period homes and listed properties warmer, saving on your energy costs. We have dealt with clients across the UK from our base in the South West. Our offices are located in the historic port town of Bideford and Bristol, giving us easy access to clients across Devon, Bath, Bristol and beyond.
To obtain further details about our energy saving packages to keep your period home warmer in winter, or to arrange a consultation to discuss your requirements, please get in touch. We will visit your home at your convenience to show you samples, explain our system and discuss your own specific requirements.
We take accurate measurements in order to form a full quotation and energy report, which will show you your potential energy savings. If this meets with your approval, we book convenient dates for installation.
Please note that we require a 50% deposit prior to work commencement, with the balance on completion.

If you are a fan of Netflix, or if you watched the Oscars this year, you are familiar with Marriage Story. I stumbled across this movie shortly after it came out and decided to watch it, not knowing anything about the movie or what to expect.
After a short time in, I found myself consumed and horrified. As a family law attorney, what I was watching was hauntingly familiar, and gut wrenchingly accurate, and it confirmed for me, like never before why the attorneys here at Reese Law, Kate, Mario, and myself, practice Collaborative Law—Our clients deserve better than what Nicole (Scarlett Johansson) and Charlie (Adam Driver) were faced with in Marriage Story.
Although Nicole and Charlie had initially wanted an amicable separation and divorce, that ended when Nicole retained an attorney, Nora Fanshaw (Laura Dem), who operated on one dimension; Nora was an aggressive litigator, her main goal being to get as much for her client as possible at the expense of and despite the destruction to Charlie, and their young son, Henry. She did not "hear" her client, and Nora substituted what Nicole wanted with what Nora wanted, which was a win [for herself], because it certainly would not be a win for Nicole, Charlie, and Henry.
Feeling, threatened, Charlie engaged his own aggressive litigator, Jay Marotta (Ray Liotta), and the parties went to Court, publicly exposing their dirty laundry, and in the process, Nicole's and Charlie's relationship was further eroded, and their finances were further strained-all in the name of "winning".
There is no place in the Collaborative Process for an attorney to impose his or her agenda. The parties are center stage, and a win in the Collaborative Process means that both parties move from one stage of their lives into another, with theirs and their children's self-worth, security, and financial resources intact.
In the Collaborative Process, each party is represented by a Collaborative Attorney. It is important not to confuse a Collaborative Attorney with an attorney who is being collaborative. A Collaborative Attorney, practicing Collaborative Law is an attorney who is trained in Collaborative Law and who represents his or her client in accordance with specific protocols within the Collaborative Process. The Collaborative Attorneys who represent the parties:
Commit, along with his or her client, to work toward resolution outside oflitigation
Promote and protect his or her client's best interests in an approach that also upholds the dignity and security of the other party and the parties' children
Treat the other party with respect and civility
Educate his or her client, with the help of other Collaboratively trained professionals (such as financial neutrals and mental health professionals), to enable the client to make informed decisions
Commit to the full disclosure of information necessary for the parties to make important decisions for themselves and their children
Respect, honor, and support the client's self-determination
Work as part of a team to help the parties reach their best possible outcome
You deserve better than Nicole and Charlie, and your children deserve better as well. You deserve to work in the Collaborative Process, and if you have questions about how we can help you do that, please contact the attorneys here at Reese Law.

no more lime green. ever.
Back to a color I can live with.
It all started with a desire to lighten the family room.
I had a plan to add wood trim above the mantle and paint it all a white semi-gloss to match the rest of the fireplace.
building. I did the nail-hole filling, spackling, sanding, priming and painting.
That part of the job went as planned.
Next came the careful and thoughtful color choice. I thought I nailed it. I did not.
for a few minutes each morning.
It looked dreadful and gaudy for all the rest of the minutes of the day and night, especially with the lights turned on.
My confidence to now choose a pleasing color was shot and I daily contemplated a remedy.
I thought about using the pale aqua blue I have in my dining room that I will be forever pleased with. I thought of another bold statement-color like a deep, rich turquoise but quickly dismissed it in fear of another disaster in both wasted time and cost. Feeling uncertain about a color to correct, I rummaged through the assortment of paint cans in the garage and found one with enough paint to cover the eye-sore and return a soothing calmness to my soul.
During our visit with Jill, we went to a Kirkland's store near her and I was delighted to find this beautiful Peacock picture. Not only did I love it but it was also on sale. Very on sale! The final price was an unbelievable $28! When the cashier told me the total, I asked if she got everything.
John picked the sconces and I also bought a pair of canvas peacock pieces.
A pretty vase filled with peacock feathers, and plate given to me last year from my cousin and a tiny oil jar Jill gave me when she was first married along with a few aqua colored wine bottles from Erin decorate the mantle.
Thanks for linking up to my post on failure. I'm loving the final look!
It looks beautiful, calm and serene. I'll bet you're so much happier now. The mantle looks great and all your accessories in the room are wonderful.
This room certainly looks like it was professionally done and yet with a cozy, warm, and inviting feel to it. You did a beautiful job! Who wouldn't love to sit and vist in that pretty room!
Great choice in changing your color to something more soothing. I love the peacocks as an accent. That pop of color brightens the whole room!
Beautiful! Love all your peacock elements ~ and you know, the lime looks really lovely in the photo! More serene your final way, though!
Your room makeover is gorgeous!
Love all of your rooms and photos!
I love your 'new' family room! Your fireplace is gorgeous and it really makes a statement in your room. You found the right wall color for your new peacocks. Great job, my friend.
It looks so quiet and peaceful. Your pictures are wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
Calm matters. Morning light versus the light of other times of day also matters. My friends always kid me because when choosing colors I always mention how something will look in morning light and afternoon light. Sometimes there's just no knowing until it's on the wall, sadly. Good for you making some changes you love.
I love your updated mantel. I agree the green was pretty but not for everyday. You have a beautiful home.
It looks lovely – bright but also soothing. I'm a big believer in letting the accessories bring the colour into a room – years of military moves, and being unable to paint walls taught me this!
WOW!!!!! Beautiful!!!! I like it soooo much!
Thanks for the Pizza toast recipe, I know what I am going to have the next time I am craving pizza, and am short on time. it looks so delicious.
It's very pretty, Lorraine. Mother and I had many Christmas tree ornaments with peacock feathers at one time.
It all looks great. Love the peacocks too. I'm your new follower. Hope you'll come visit me too.
Anyone that has read my blog knows and understand I love Kirkland's.
I was there last week and saw all the beautiful peacock pictures and things they had in the store. I was drooling all over the place.
I am so glad you were able to purchase some of those beautiful things. Your home is so beautiful anyway and these just was icing on the cake.
Definitely more soothing than the green. The room looks beautiful Lorraine! Love the pops of aqua and the peacock artwork is very pretty!
It looks so good! I really like this color. The green was a little much for my taste.
