Performancing Plugins

About Performancing Plugins

Plugins expand a blog’s functionality, and these can turn your blog into just about anything you want and need. Performancing was actually initially created and conceptualized around a plugin (meant for Firefox). To date, we’ve created a plugin (for pMetrics) and we’re on the way to develop a few more. We’ll also be reviewing useful plugins, including popular choices and our favorites.

The team at Performancing is dedicated to developing and reviewing a series of WordPress plugins that will further help bloggers succeed!

pMetrics WordPress Plugin

The pMetrics WordPress Plugin allows you to check blog stats directly from your WordPress Dashboard – if you haven’t already, sign up for pMetrics and then download the plugin and set it up on your blog.

Update: WordPress 2.7+ users, please download the upgraded version of the plugin here.

The cool thing about the new pMetrics WP Plugin is the fact that it is also a demo for new class of WordPress Plugins using basic building blocks that can easily be used to build blogger-friendly plugins.

The general idea has been that we should move beyond the old-art of software updates (deleting, downloading, unzipping, re-uploading). and move to one-click installs and automated plugin management. The old-art is especially problematic when running dozens or hundreds of blogs.

In a nutshell here’s what the pMetrics plugin offers:

  1. Auto-updates (this option can be toggled on and off)
  2. One-click installs for added functionality
  3. One-click removals (deletes files off the server)
  4. Blog stats in your WordPress dashboard
  5. Latest searches display
  6. pMetrics rank display
  7. Auto-installation of pMetrics javascript code
  8. Auto-installation of affiliate banner in sidebar
  9. Blog sales page with detailed pMetrics statistics
  10. Feedburner integration

Dirty Rush

PLOT– Taylor Bell recalls her true story of her time in the Beta Zeta sorority at a college in Delaware. Initially, Bell is reluctant to join the sorority, but as a legacy, she is actively pursued to rush.

LIKE– I picked up Dirty Rush based on positive professional reviews and a fun endorsement from Jen Lancaster. I adore Jen Lancaster. Somehow, I didn’t realize that Dirty Rush was based on a true story until I had started reading, which made everything even more outrageous.

I was never in a sorority and the colleges that I attended didn’t even have them. I don’t think any of my close friends were in sororities or fraternities. Basically, I’m unfamiliar with them, except for what I’ve seen in popular culture. That said, I find the entire set-up fascinating. I just can’t understand who would willingly put themselves through rushing and dealing with all of the drama. Bell does come out of the experience with some close friends, but I’m definitely not convinced of she wouldn’t have made deep connections if a sorority hadn’t been part of her college experience. Her friendships are solidified when the president of the sorority goes after Bell, releasing a doctored sex tape and trying to assassinate Bell’s character while getting her tossed from Beta Zeta, Some of the other sorority members see what is happening and as Bell gathers proof, they stand by her side. There is a surprise twist when we find out about a terrible secret that Bell’s older sister, a former sorority member, has kept hidden from her sister. Bell’s story is truly shocking.

I loved that Bell was able to get Rebecca Martinson ( the sorority president who went viral for her scathing rush instruction email) to write a forward. It sets the tone for the entire book, letting the reader know that Bell has a good sense of humor regarding her experiences. Despite the intense bullying that Bell endures, her memoir has plenty of laughs.

DISLIKE– This is a guilty pleasure read. A few years ago, I would have been embarrassed to admit to reading Dirty Rush. But you know what? I’m going to own it. Sometimes, you need a little trashy reading.

RECOMMENDDirty Rush is certainly not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. It’s shocking and has a scandalous/ TMZ type of vibe. Bell’s humor and the quick pace make this a perfect beach read. I enjoyed the ride.

Vegetables with coriander and hazelnut pesto

Vegetables with coriander and hazelnut pesto

I don’t cook enough vegetarian dishes so today I thought I would give it a go. To get inspired I went to the green grocer and bought all of the vegetables that inspired me. I did think about a vegetable curry but wanted to make something I had never done before. I ended up with a mix of vegetables and thought I would think of something once home.

I got a portobello mushroom, radishes, sprouting broccoli, a chilli, bok choy and a small aubergine.

Happy with my veggie bounty I needed something to pull it all together and got a bunch of coriander as well. I didn’t like coriander at all for as long as I can remember but one day it just made sense and ever since I add it to most foods where it fits in generous amounts.

The green grocer sometimes has gems tucked away in the back and this time I found curry leaves so I got some of those as well. I read a recipe on Indu’s blog Indu’s International Kitchen. It is  loaded with beautiful and inspiring dishes and I loved the use of the curry leaves for this curry.

Once home I spread out the vegetables and decided how to cook them.

I roasted the portobello mushroom and the aubergine in the oven with a little olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.

I steamed the boy choy and some sprouting broccoli and sliced some raw radishes. I thought a pesto would be nice and decided to make a hazelnut and coriander pesto.#

Hazelnut and coriander pesto

preparation time 5 minutes

cooking time 0 minutes

serves 4-6

  • 1 big bunch of coriander
  • 3 spring onions/scallions
  • a handful of toasted hazelnuts
  • 1 clove of garlic, chopped
  • 1 tbsp sunsflower seeds
  • Extra virgin olive oil to bind the pesto together and to cover, about 1/2 dl or 1/4 cup

Roughly chop the coriander and the spring onions. Place all of the ingredients in the blender and blend until all ingredients come together but there is still some texture left. Taste and add a pinch of salt if necessary. Place the pesto in ajar and cover with extra virgin olive oil.

If there is any pesto left it is great simply mixed with pasta.

I placed a little olive oil in a hot pan with mustard seeds, ginger cut in to thin sticks and the curry  leaves. Cook for a few minutes until the mustard seeds are popping and the curry leaves are crispy.

curry leaves ginger and mustard seeds in oil

I got some cottage cheese out and plated up. Add the pesto and last spoon the oil with the curry leaves, ginger and mustard seeds.

Vegetables with coriander and hazelnut pesto

The curry leaves and the mustard seeds added a nice crispy texture as well as flavour. The dish was very filling and as always I did think I should cook more vegetarian dishes. The dish would work without the cottage cheese, perhaps replaced by tofu if you would prefer a vegan dish.

I am bringing this to Fiesta Friday, hosted by the lovely Angie and this week she has two great co hosts, Mollie, The Frugal Housefrau and Scarlett, the Unwed Housewife.

Come and join us for another great foodie party! Happy weekend!

  1. I am in love with this Petra❤

  2. Petra this looks absolutely beautiful!! I’m trying to get my husband to eat more vegetarian meals too and love coming up with new ways to cook vegetables. I love coriander, so that pesto is right up my alley too! I must give it a try soon!

      hi Dini
      I have to admit I did this when it was only me at home! vegetarian is not the favourite here either but very tasty and I didn’t miss meat or fish at all. Pesto is always a a treat isn’t it 🙂

  3. Love that pesto! It all looks lovely, very tasty 🙂

  4. I love everything about this dish. I’ve fallen in love with hazelnuts the last couple of years and putting them into a pesto sounds divine. I’m not a vegetarian but I crave veggies much more than I do meat and eat that way when my carnivore isn’t home. Thank you for sharing Petra!

    • petra08 says:

      hi Julie
      am so glad you like it! Like you I love meat and fish but sometimes I crave a vegetarian meal, I find it lighter for the body and a pesto adds a ton of flavour and the carnivore wasn’t home! 🙂

  5. Caroline says:

    You always have such pretty dishes and this is another. That pesto sounds delicious as well.

  6. Petra, lovely veggies – you’ve done them justice~ Thanks for bringing this to Fiesta Friday!

    • petra08 says:

      hi Mollie
      Thank you and I know a late response but thank you for co hosting the lovely Fiesta Friday!

  7. Indu says:

    Wow! Very impressive dish you created here Petra.Love the coriander walnut pesto. And the oil garnish with curry leaves was brilliant! I am so glad you found fresh curry leaves! 🙂

  8. I am crazy about pesto. Thanks for sharing this at Fiesta Friday #117!

Mary Ann SOUTHWELL (Barry)

Called:- Aunt Poll Poll

Born:- 25th December 1852, Hoxton New Town, Shoreditch, Middlesex, London Died:- 7th February 1932, Cardiff, Glamorgan

Child of: Robert John and Mary Ann SOUTHWELL

Marriage: Richard and Mary Ann BARRY

Picture of Mary Ann SOUTHWELL

Mary Ann Barry (nee Southwell, about 1882)

Biographical notes

The birth of Mary Ann Southwell is recorded in the indexes for Jan-March 1853 in the Shoreditch registration district. This district tallies with that of the birth of her elder sister Rosina Cardell in 1846. The Census returns give birth years of 1852 (1861 Census), 1854 (1881 Census), 1854 (1891 Census), 1856 (1901 Census).

According to Margery Pettigrew, Mary Ann Barry eventually went to live with her niece Alice Southwell Pettigrew (nee Cardell), in St Fagans, who looked after her up to the 1930's. Eventually she became infirm and was admitted to a Nursing Home at Penhill, Llandaff, Cardiff. This is confirmed in her Will which she signed and had witnessed on the 7th June 1928 at Park View, 18 Penhill Road Cardiff. However, her death certificate records her final residence as 1a Ninian Road, Cardiff. She died aged 79 on the 7 February 1932.

Auto Injuries & Chiropractic Care

Home » Medical/Chiropractic » Chiropractic » Auto Injuries & Chiropractic Care

If you or a loved one have been in an auto accident in the greater phoenix area or surrounding cities, a visit to your friendly Phoenix Car Accident Dot Com chiropractors, we believe is exactly what you should do to attend to your immediate or delayed pain, but also to increase the chances that you will not suffer long-term consequences. Be aware, even minor car collisions can develop into major permanent problems down the road.

Call Us For A No Obligation No Cost Consultation 602-456-7252

Common Auto Injuries

Remember that one of the most immediate or delayed pains that you will experience associated with an auto injury is called whiplash. However there is a virtual plethora of additional neck injuries related to car accidents. Whiplash occurs with rapid and abrupt jerking of your head and neck which typically results in pain, as well as headaches, ranging from dull to excruciating and lasting for days, weeks, months, or even a lifetime, if you do not receive proper care following a motor vehicle accident.

Back and spinal injuries are typically found and diagnosed in victims of auto accidents who seek proper medical and chiropractic treatment. It may come as a surprise that it really doesn’t take much force to whack your vertebrae or your spinal discs out of place, causing immediate or delayed pain and suffering. It is crucial to understand that being involved in car accident, even if you think it was minor or if an observer tells you he or she thinks the accident was minor, still causes you to be extremely vulnerable to whiplash and other neck or spinal injuries. The back and neck injuries that you don’t feel right away following any type of abrupt traumatic car crash are the ones that can cause you the nastiest problems, because if they are left alone they have a greater chance to become permanent than if they were properly treated.

How Chiropractors Can Help

When your spine gets “whacked out of place” this is known as a spinal misalignment of your spine and if left untreated typically will produce overwhelming effects on your back over the course of your lifetime. Soft tissues such as spinal discs can start to degenerate, bulge, or herniate and even bony vertebrae will degenerate. The combination of this bone and disc issues create nerve impingements or “pinched nerves” which typically are the underlying cause of pain as well as possible numbness or weakness in your arms and legs. A typical progression of every as days turn into weeks and weeks into months will allow your injuries to become worse. Eventually engaging in normal everyday activities of living become a painful task to perform.

Scientific auto accident research is highly suggestive that car accident suffers with whiplash or other neck or spinal injuries have a statically high probability of developing severe and chronic pain. Your human nature to naturally ignore the signs and symptoms of auto injuries only makes the situation much worse.

Luckily seeking timely treatment and care from a Phoenix Car Accident Dot Com chiropractor after a vehicle accident can make a huge transformation to the best health possible. Even if you don’t feel symptoms from a Phoenix auto injury, it is a smart decision on your behalf to have a specific car injury exam from one of our chiropractic Physicians to determine and diagnose an underlying injuries that may lead to pain and suffering in your future years. We say it is always better to safe today than sorry later.

OK so If you already feel pain or stiffness in your neck, back, shoulders our doctors of chiropractic can check your spine to discover any underlying injuries and start to attend to your injuries and you can begin your road to recovery.

Five video games expected by those who look forward to the arrival of 2020

The adaptation of the well-remembered role-playing game created by Mike Pondsmith carried out by CD Projekt Red looks spectacular as could be seen in its first trailer. Influenced by the futuristic design referred to in its title, the work of science fiction develops in Night City, a megalopolis corrupt obsession with the body modification.

Serengeti road divides biologists: Will a road across the northern tier of Serengeti National Park ruin it?

Serengeti road divides biologists: Will a road across the northern tier of Serengeti National Park ruin it?
Wildebeests in the thousands cross existing roads in Serengeti National Park, says Eivin Røskaft, an NTNU biologist. Building another road to take pressure off of the existing network will not harm the population, he says. Credit: E. Røskaft

Serengeti National Park in Tanzania may be the most iconic national park in the world. Here, lions, leopards, elephants, hippos and giraffes wander free. Rivers of wildebeests, zebra and Thompson's gazelles – more than 2 million all told – cross the landscape in one of the largest animal migrations on the planet.

While the park is ideally located for wandering wildebeests, its location is less than ideal for the region's residents. They see the undeveloped park as a formidable barrier to trade and travel. To address this, the Tanzania government now plans to build a across 50 km of the northern part of the park to link the country's coast to and countries to the west, including Uganda, Rwanda and the .

International outcry

Plans for the road have raised an international outcry. The fear is that the road, which bisects the wildebeest near the Kenyan border, will bring an end to the annual migrations and irreversibly change the park. In September 2010, a coalition of 27 scientists published their objections in an opinion piece in Nature magazine. "The proposed road could lead to the collapse of the largest remaining migratory system on Earth," the scientists wrote, led by Andrew Dobson from Princeton University.

But Eivin Røskaft, a biologist at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) who has worked with cooperative projects in the park for the last two decades with Tanzanian scientists, says the coalition's reaction is "emotional" and ignores the fact that Tanzanians should be allowed to decide their own fate. His rebuttal and that of his Tanzanian colleagues will be published later this year in an article in Conservation Biology magazine.

"Of course the best thing (for Serengeti) would be to go back to 2000 years ago, but we can't do that," Røskaft says. "Tanzania deserves to develop. We have to look at the total ecosystem and there is a need for new roads."

A broader perspective

Røskaft is co-coordinator of a partnership between the Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute and NTNU that is studying the region where the road will be built. The studies provide a snapshot of the area before road construction, and will be continued after the road is built. That gives scientists the ability to detect possible problems before they get out of control, Røskaft says.

Road construction clearly will have impacts, adds Røskaft, but it is important to see the road from a broader perspective. In some ways, he says, argument over the road distracts scientists and policymakers from far more serious threats.

Here, road building ranks far lower as a threat than issues such as climate change, poverty, high population densities and deforestation, particularly north of the park in Kenya, Røskaft says.

The communities surrounding the northern part of the park are among the poorest in Tanzania, with an annual per capita income of just over $100. Families are big, with an average of 11 people per household in one area near the park. That drives people to illegally poach bushmeat.

Calving areas a concern

"As a scientist I am concerned about all threats," he says. "But it is how you manage the system from a bigger picture – there are a lot of things you can do," including trying to find ways to give residents alternative sources of income, such as beekeeping, handicraft production and community-based ecotourism.

The existing road system is also problematic, Røskaft says. It bisects the wildebeest calving areas, and traffic in the park has tripled over recent years, with 120,000 vehicles entering the in 2011 alone. Fully 85 per cent of these are tourist vehicles. Thus, he says, the new road might take some of the pressure off the roads that cross calving areas.

"There is no question about it, the (northern) will come," he says. "What we can do is advise them so they develop it in the least environmentally damaging way possible."

Motorsport site named after a fish down
were not supposed to mention the site so all ill say is its named after a fish and was good for motorsport torrents

as of 4 june 2018 it seems down and says Services for this domain have been discontinued

has anyone heard whats happened ?

You can name the site if you like, members might not know what domain you're referring to.
I guess he is talking about Piranha Exchange Community, a private torrent site for racing/motorsports which says, on their signup page http://piranha.excom.us/signup.php

Quote:Before you are allowed on this private site, you will have to comply with one (1) very important rule

"I will never post the full name or URL of this site on
forums or webpages, when I want to recommend this site to others I will
use eyeball contact, email or the Personal Mail offered by the forum in question"

After clicking a button labelled "YES I will comply to this important rule", which resulted in a helpful clarification in bold red text that "You will be Banned / Kicked if you are caught breaking this rule !!", and clicking on the "YES I will comply to this important rule" button again, it presented me with a signup page.

I didn't sign up, but it appears to be working.
I think it was flounder.com

I just had a nostalgic geocities flashback.
the site is back up , my panic is over, i wish you hadnt mention the site SID , i dont want to draw unwelcome attention to it from folk trying to shut sites down
So learn not to panic.

And don't worry, amusing delusions aside the site is neither secret nor even remotely hard to find, and the idiot making the threats is powerless to enforce them.

Furniture Store Near Me – Furniture Store Trivia

What are some of the styles of early American furniture?

As you browse furniture store near me, you may be interested in knowing just which styles dominated the early American furniture scene. Many of the earliest forms of furniture reflected the cultures who were dominating specific areas. In the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the predominant colonizers of New England were English. The Hudson Valley was filled with Dutch individuals, and the Swedes and Germans chose to settle Pennsylvania. Production of all furniture at this time was local and most pieces served a very utilitarian function. Popular pieces were stools, benches, small tables, and chests with deep drawers for storing clothing. Furniture construction at this time was very simple and almost medieval in style. It was to be created with very few tools. The resulting furniture shapes were often massive, boxy, and without decoration, except for the occasional turning on legs, rungs, or backs. Shallow carvings known as “kerbschnitt” sometimes formed geometric bands of leaves or rosettes on flat areas. It wasn’t until the late seventeenth century that ornamentation became more elaborate. In all of the colonies, chairs had straight backs with rush seats. Style were limited and often reflected the taste of those who could afford furniture.

A typical furniture store offers goods for every room of the home.

When did American furniture design come into its own?

Like so many things in the United States, furniture design didn’t actually come into its own until after World War II. The models were based upon those developed just before war was declared. Sectional seating became very popular thanks to two architects named Ero Saarinen and Charles Eames, who found that a couch with a united seat, back and arm rests could be made with a single shell composed of veneer and glue that was then laminated in a cast iron mold. The shell was then mounted upon a base. This system reduced the industrial process and served to save manufacturers money. The duo went on to design many pieces of furniture that are now considered modern classics. As you search furniture store near me, consider how world events and even the economy can affect what’s produced and what styles are popular.

Furniture Store Near Me – Furniture Store Facts

Quality, Not Quantity

When buying furniture or searching furniture store near me, it may be rather tempting to go with a budget brand that will allow you to buy massive quantities of furniture rather than or two select pieces. Instead, experts recommend that you invest in quality rather than quantity. Only buy a piece of furniture or two at a time and choose carefully. Don’t rush yourself or put too much pressure on the purchase. Think long term investment rather than short term and avoid garbage pieces if you can avoid it. Of course if you’re on a budget or just starting out, you will obviously need to buy some items at places like Ikea or Target. A few pieces from these places is fine, but try and purchase your better and more prominent items from a quality furniture store. They will look better, last longer, and will bring more bang for your buck. If you’re on a budget but still want quality, try Craigslist. You will be able to find furniture for sale, estate sales, and even moving sales. Estate and moving sales can be a great way to pick up quality furniture for a price even Ikea can’t compete with. Another tip is to avoid veneers when you can. Go for solid wood and attempt to buy American if you can.

Skip the Sales

In many cases, experts advise against shopping at furniture stores during large “sales” as this is simply a means to drive foot traffic and can typically result in marked up prices. If you’re looking to save money while shopping furniture stores near me, try inquiring about floor models. Not only are floor models typically very gently used and often without damage, but you can leverage for a discount of up to 50% off the ticketed price. Some furniture stores will offer even more savings to simply open up the floor space for new items, especially if it’s a model that doesn’t sell frequently or has leveled off. If you have your eye on a floor model, inquire about the price. Many furniture stores are willing to work with you if attempt to make a deal. Be smart and follow your gut instincts as you search furniture store near me. It may just result in some truly great furniture!

 The Silversword’s Secret 6 глава

The Silversword’s Secret 6 глава

“Why, it’s Janet Lee and Roy Chatleyl” Bess said in a low tone.

“I wonder what they want,” George mused, frowning.

The brother and sister jumped from the car. They gave fleeting smiles to the mainlanders, then opened the luggage compartment of the automobile. From it, Roy began taking out several suitcases. Presently, he picked up two of the bags and carried them to the porch. Turning to Ned, he said:

“Give me a hand with the rest of the luggage, will you?”

Nancy had stepped forward. “We—we’re glad to see you, but why the luggage?”

By this time Janet was walking up the front steps. “We’ve come to stay,” she announced.

Looks of astonishment came over the faces of Nancy and her friends. The young detective managed to say, “You’re staying? Mr. Sakamaki has invited you to come here?”

“Of course not,” Janet Lee answered. “But as to an invitation, Roy and I don’t need one. We have far more right to be here than you people have. We’re staying!”

“Furthermore,” her brother added pompously, “the sooner you folks move out, the better we’ll like it!”

The Specter

COMPLETELY stunned by the announcement of Roy Chatley and Janet Lee, Nancy’s group stood as if rooted to the spot. They could not believe what they had just heard. The brother and sister were moving in and asking the others to move out!

“Well, aren’t you fellows going to help me with the bag ?” Roy asked in an irritable voice.

As Nancy found her voice and introduced Mrs. Gruen and the boys, Ned stepped forward and said, “As soon as I’m told it’s all right, I’ll be glad to help you with your luggage.”

Janet tossed her head. “Well, of all the nerve! Here we’re the grandchildren of the man who owned this place and you’re telling us what to do.”

By now Nancy had decided what to do. She hurried into the house and dashed upstairs to Grandfather Sakamaki’s bedroom. Adjoining it was a small study with a telephone. She closed the door and put in a call to Mr. Dutton, the executor.

When Nancy related what had happened, the trust officer was stunned by the news. “This makes a complicated situation indeed,” he said. “But I suppose we have no right to keep Mrs. Lee and her brother out. They are entitled to visit the estate as well as your friend Mr. Sakamaki or any friends he sends there.”

“I suppose so,” Nancy agreed. “I only hope they’ll be pleasant.”

Mr. Dutton sighed. “I wish I could help you, but at the moment nothing occurs to me. Just this morning I was going over the credentials of Mrs. Lee and Mr. Chatley. They certainly seem to be all right.

“Among the things is a photograph of the grave of old Mr. Sakamaki’s first wife, their grandmother. Then they had other papers to prove that she had just one child, a daughter. The photograph of this woman proved that she looked very much like her mother.

“Then there were other old photographs of Mr. Sakamaki’s first wife with her grandchildren. They certainly resemble Janet and Roy. Also, they produced newspaper clippings of the death notice and funeral of their mother.”

Nancy was impressed. “It all sounds authentic,” she said.

“Yes, it does,” Mr. Dutton agreed. “Another thing, Mr. Chatley brought an old letter of his grandmother’s to a friend telling how her husband had left her when their daughter was a baby and that he had gone to Honolulu.”

“It sounds very plausible,” Nancy had to admit. “Mr. Dutton, as you know, my father is in Los Angeles trying to check the same story. I talked with him on the phone this morning and he said something had come up which had made him decide to stay over and do some further investigating. Maybe he’ll uncover additional facts that will disprove Roy’s claim.”

Nancy then told of the proposed trip to Maui and the Haleakala Crater. She explained about the little metal chest and the pictures on the paper found inside.

“How interesting!” the executor remarked.

“It may or may not mean anything,” said Nancy, “but I suspect it’s a good clue to the mystery of Kaluakua. ”I’d planned to fly today to the area where the silversword plants are, but I hate to go and leave Roy Chatley and his sister here.”

“I see,” said Mr. Dutton. “Well, go ahead. I’ll have a private detective, named John Jerral, come out to the house and stay while you’re away.”

Nancy was relieved. “That’s fine, Mr. Dutton.” With a chuckle, she added, “I don’t think we should tell Janet and Roy what his profession is.”

“Right,” the executor agreed. “Mr. Jerral is of medium height and a bit overweight. ”I’ll ask him to wear a green necktie, so that you’ll recognize him. Good-by, Miss Drew, and success on your search.”

Crossing the study, Nancy opened the door, walked through Mr. Sakamaki’s bedroom, and into the hall. There she met Janet Lee and her brother. The young woman held two small suitcases, her brother two large ones. At this instant they plunked them down on the floor.

“Roy,” said Janet, “I’m going to look over all the rooms, then decide which ones you and I will occupy.”

“Most of them are taken,” Nancy spoke up. “Suppose I show you two that are empty.”

“Thank you, but I’ll make my own decision,” retorted Janet haughtily. “Since this house belongs partly to me, I think I have a right to sleep where I want to.”

Nancy did not argue with the woman. She and her friends would be leaving that afternoon and not returning for a while. Perhaps by the time they came back to Kaluakua, Mr. Drew would be there and she could get his advice in the matter.

Casually, Nancy said that she and her friends and Mrs. Gruen were making a trip to Maui to see the famous crater. When they returned, the group could discuss the matter of who should stay at the estate. Janet’s and Roy’s faces lighted up, but their smiles faded when Nancy said:

“Kaluakua is to have another guest for a short time. He will arrive soon. His name is Mr. John Jerral. He’s a very pleasant man, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy his company.”

“What does he do?” Roy Chatley asked suspiciously.

“Oh, he’s interested in many things,” Nancy replied noncommittally. “He’s really a very well-informed person. ”He’ll be able to tell you a lot about the Hawaiian Islands and their legends and history.”

Leaving it to Mr. Jerral to satisfy Roy’s curiosity, Nancy rushed downstairs. She quickly told the others of her conversation with the executor and the fact that Mr. Jerral was coming. “But I didn’t tell Janet and Roy what his profession is.”

Bess laughed. “And we shan’t give it away. I’ll go tell Kiyabu and Emma about it.” She hurried away.

George said in a giggling whisper that she had better go and rescue her purse from the bedroom before Roy decided it belonged to the estate! Everyone went upstairs and watched the newcomers choose their bedrooms.

First Ned’s suitcase and clothes were rudely removed from his room by Roy. Nancy was dismayed because this was one of the most spacious rooms on the second floor and she had planned that Mr. Drew would sleep in the room with Ned.

“I think I’ll take this room,” Janet announced in grandiose style, as she stopped in the doorway of the room which Nancy was sharing with Hannah. “I’d appreciate it if whoever is in here would remove these clothes.”

Nancy concealed her annoyance and said nothing. Bess and George helped her carry the clothes to a small room at the end of the hall.

As George hung up the last dress, she said with flashing eyes, “Do you girls realize that those two have picked rooms from which they can watch everything that goes on?”

“Yes, and everybody!” added Bess. “It wouldn’t surprise me if by the time we get back here all the clothes we’ve left have been stolen!”

“Oh, I don’t think we need worry about that,” said Nancy. She glanced at her watch. “We’d better grab some lunch and be on our way or we’ll miss our plane.”

Soon she and her friends were ready to leave. Suitcases were piled into the convertible’s luggage compartment and its passengers began to climb in. Nancy was worried. Mr. Jerral had not arrived and she had great misgivings about leaving Janet Lee and Roy Chatley at Kaluakua without more professional guards than Kiyabu and Emma.

But a moment later her fears were allayed. A car turned into the driveway, and a slightly stout man of medium build and wearing a green necktie parked and stepped out. Nancy rushed forward and told him in a low voice what had happened, including the fact that Janet Lee and Roy Chatley did not know that he was a detective.

“Good!” he said in a whisper. Aloud he called, “You’ll love the island of Maui. Have a fine time!”

An hour later the group were in the air. Nancy and Ned sat together and soon were discussing the various aspects of the mystery.

“Tell me your idea of what the na kanata symbol may mean, Ned,” Nancy said.

“My guess is statuettes,” he replied. “Perhaps there are two very valuable statuettes buried near some silversword plant.”

Nancy gazed out the window at the greenish-blue water below her as she thought about this. Then she reflected that a silversword plant blooms only once, then dies. It was doubtful if Grandfather Sakamaki would have buried anything so valuable near something that was not permanent.

“You probably have it all figured out,” Ned remarked. “What’s the answer?”

Nancy smiled. “I’m guessing that the identical symbols mean brothers and maybe even twins.”

“Okay. Where does that get you?” Ned asked.

Nancy had to admit that at this point her theorizing had reached a dead end. “Maui is not a large place,” she mused, “but on the other hand the island is not small, either. It’s going to be a real challenge to find the two men if that’s what the paper indicated.”

Forty minutes later the pilot set his plane down at the Hana airport. A smiling Polynesian met them and introduced himself as Moki Kuano.

“Do you wish to stop at your hotel first or shall we go directly to the crater?” he asked.

“We don’t want to miss anything,” Bess spoke up. “What do you advise?”

The Hawaiian guide smiled. “Perhaps we should go to the crater first. It is a long drive, but we should get there by sunset, and if we are lucky, you may see the Specter of Brocken.”

“What’s that?” Burt inquired.

The guide explained that it was a phenomenon viewed from the rim of the crater when it was filled with clouds. “You’ll see your reflection in a rainbow which circles the clouds.”

“Sounds spooky and wonderful!” Bess remarked.

Moki suggested that the travelers check their bags at the airport. He would come back for them later. The group agreed, since with eight in the car there was no room for luggage.

“I understand that the crater is ten thousand feet above sea level,” said Ned. “Will this car be able to take all of us up to it?”

There was a chuckle from Moki. “You just squeeze in. The car will do the rest.”

The travelers managed to settle themselves comfortably though crowded in the tourist car. All of them were charmed with the old tree-shaded city of Hana, a cultural center of ancient Hawaii. Nancy learned that several retired professors and other students of volcanology and Polynesian lore lived there. Instantly she thought of the symbols beneath the picture of the silversword plant.

“Maybe two men live here who can help me with the mystery!” she told herself excitedly.

Nancy’s attention was diverted by Moki pointing out a gorgeous waterfall and she suddenly realized how long she had been daydreaming. They were far out of town!

On the way up the mountain, they passed fields of sugar cane and some of pineapple, but in the main this was ranch country with cattle grazing on lush grass. About two-thirds of the way to the top, Moki suddenly stopped the car.

“I will show you a silversword plant,” he said.

Everyone alighted and followed him down a little incline over a gravelly, rocky section. Before them was the most amazing plant the visitors had ever seen. It stood some ten feet in the air. From the lower part of the stalk grew a shower of leaves which looked like hairy silver swords. Moki explained that hairs on the leaves kept out the sun’s rays and prevented moisture escaping from the plant.

The upper six feet of the plant was the flower itself. From the center stalk grew green foliage and hundreds of purple and yellow flowers.

“Exquisite!” Hannah Gruen exclaimed. “This is certainly worth coming miles and miles to see.”

Moki said that the mainlanders were fortunate. This was not a spot where the plants usually grew. Smiling, he added that he thought this one had deliberately planted itself away from the crater proper to show off its beauty to the passers-by on the road.

After the group had gazed at it in awe awhile, walking around the unusual plant several times, Moki said they must be on their way. The car climbed up the mountainside. When it finally reached the top, Nancy and her friends walked to the rim, and stood breathless at the magnificent spectacle before them. Holding onto an iron railing, they gazed down into an enormous depression. Part of it was grassy with plants growing on the lava floor. But most amazing were the series of cinder cones, some as high as eight hundred feet, which Moki said were the result of volcanic eruptions. The whole scene was bathed in the glow of a brilliant red sunset.

For a long time, the group stood speechless as Moki explained that the crater was seven miles long and two miles wide. So interested were the sight-seers that they hardly noticed the clouds gathering over the crater. In a short time the area was filled with them and suddenly a complete rainbow surrounded the clouds.

“And look!” Bess cried out, pointing. “There’s my reflection in the center of them!”

“And you do look like a spook,” George remarked.

Every one of the visitors was clearly reflected among the clouds.

Nancy and George were particularly intrigued. Trying to see more from another vantage point, they walked a distance out on the cliff beyond the railing.

George went a few steps ahead of Nancy. Gazing into the clouds and not watching where she was going, she suddenly lost her balance.

Nancy, seeing this, made a wild grab for her and caught hold of George’s blouse. But the weight of George’s body dragged the two of them over the side of the cliff!

Volcano Birds

THE INSTANT the two girls started tumbling down the cliffside, the three boys jumped to the rescue. They were beside Nancy and George in a moment, bracing themselves against the steep slope, and asking if the girls had been injured.

“Only my pride,” George replied. “What a dumb thing to do!”

Since both she and Nancy felt shaken up and had suffered a few bruises, it was decided that the group would leave at once and go to the ranch motel outside of Hana where they had reservations. It was nearly dusk when they arrived at the attractive mountainside inn with its low, rustic buildings.

Bess was glad that dinner was ready. “I’m starving,” she said, as they all sat down at a long table.

The table was very attractive with a centerpiece of gardenias floating in a bowl of monkeypod wood. At each setting was a large slice of papaya, covered with chunks of pineapple, banana, and mango, and sprinkled with shredded coconut.

“I’m sure going to miss these tropical fruits when I get back to Emerson,” Burt said with a laugh. “Fellows, can you imagine our dinners at college starting with a course like this?”

Ned and Dave grinned. “Bean soup is usually what they start with,” Dave told the others.

There was a great deal of banter and teasing during the meal. But directly afterward, Nancy became serious. She told her friends that she had been doing some thinking about the drawing found in the chest. It had occurred to her that possibly there were two men—perhaps twins—in Hana, who were interested in some specific way in silversword plants.

Excusing herself, she left the others and asked the hotel clerk at the desk if he knew of anyone who was particularly interested in the plant. He replied that he did not, but that perhaps the manager, Mr. Blake, might know. He ushered Nancy into an inner office and introduced her to the manager.

Nancy again asked her question. Mr. Blake did not hesitate a moment. “Yes, there are two such men here in town. They’re twins, and professors. The Anderson brothers have made a special study of the silversword plant.”

A surge of excitement swept over Nancy. Her clue was about to bring results!

“The Anderson brothers retired from teaching some time ago,” Mr. Blake went on. “Since studying our silversword plant and finding that it grows nowhere else in the world, they have come up with a very interesting theory.”

Mr. Blake said the professors believed that the original seeds had been shot from space when the planet earth was being formed, and that they had lain dormant in this locale until the Hawaiian Island group was erupted.

Nancy was astounded at this theory, and eager to talk to the professors about it.

“Are the Andersons willing to have visitors?” she asked Mr. Blake.

“Oh, yes, indeed,” the manager answered.

“If they have a phone,” said Nancy, “perhaps I could call them and make an appointment.”

The hotel manager reached for a copy of the telephone directory, found the number, and put in the call for Nancy. A deep voice at the other end of the wire said, “Nils Anderson speaking.”

“This is Mr. Blake at the motel,” the manager told him. “We have a guest here, Miss Nancy Drew, who would like to speak to you.”

He handed the phone to Nancy, who said, “Hello. This is Nancy Drew from River Heights on the mainland.” Then she asked, “Professor Anderson, did you know a man in Honolulu named Nikkio Sakamaki who lived at Kaluakua?”

“My brother and I knew him well,” came the reply.

“Then may I please come to see you?” the young sleuth inquired. “My father is attorney for Mr. Sakamaki’s grandson. A mystery has arisen in connection with his grandfather’s estate and perhaps you can help in solving it.”

Professor Anderson chuckled. “I love mysteries and I should be very happy to see you. Can you come here about nine-thirty tomorrow morning?”

Nancy said she could and later asked Ned to go with her. They arrived at the Anderson cottage promptly and were admitted by the brothers, who were identical twins. The white-haired men were about seventy years old, tall and straight, with ruddy complexions and twinkling blue eyes.

Nancy and Ned introduced themselves, and Ned revealed that Nancy was doing some detective work for her father in connection with the Sakamaki case.”

“That’s very interesting,” one of the men said.

The professors then introduced themselves. Nils was a botanist, Stephen a zoologist. “We came from California originally,” said Stephen, “but we lived in Honolulu for many years and lectured occasionally at the University.”

His twin took up the story. “We became acquainted with Mr. Sakamaki of Kaluakua because of his interest in science. He was a very well-informed man, especially on the subject of botany. We three became great friends and saw a good deal of one another until Stephen and and I decided to come to Hana and make a study of the silversword plant.”

“Mr. Blake told us about your theory as to the way the seeds got to this earth,” Nancy spoke up.

Nils nodded. “It seems like the only logical explanation,” he said, “but we have a great deal more studying to do and it is possible we’ll change our minds.”

Nancy now told the professors further details of her father’s connection with the Sakamaki case, and also about her own interest in the puzzle.

“We’ve been trying hard to clear up the mystery,” she said, “and just came upon a new clue.” She explained about the discovery of the chest with the drawing of the silversword plant and the symbols meaning men. “Are you the men indicated?” she asked, smiling.

Neither of the twins replied at once. Instead, they gazed at each other for several moments as if trying to decide how to answer. But finally Nils spoke up.

“Old Nikkio Sakamaki was full of fun and incidentally full of sage Oriental sayings. He took great pleasure in thinking up clues to the solution of the Kaluakua mystery. He always said he wanted his heir to work to unfathom it.”

As the elderly man stopped speaking, Nancy asked again, “And did one of the clues lead to you people because you can tell us something?”

Stephen smiled. “You have guessed correctly, Miss Drew. Mr. Sakamaki said if anyone should ever ask questions similar to the ones which you have put that we were to answer, ‘Watch the angel birds over Mauna Loa.’ ”

“ ‘Watch the angel birds over Mauna Loa,’ ” Nancy repeated. “Does that mean the volcano Mauna Loa?”

The professors grinned delightedly. Then Nils answered, “We were instructed to say no more.”

It was clear to Nancy that they had no intention of breaking any promise they had given old Mr. Sakamaki. Tactfully she changed the subject and asked the Andersons if they knew whether Nikkio Sakamaki had ever mentioned having a wife and child in California.

“No, he never did,” Nils replied. “In fact, I believe he was in California only a few days before coming to Honolulu.”

Nancy was so excited to hear this that she almost jumped out of her chair. “This is very important news,” she said. “A brother and sister from California have arrived in Honolulu to claim two-thirds of the estate. They say they are grandchildren of Grandfather Sakamaki.”

Once more the brothers looked at each other for several moments before speaking. Then Nils said, “I am amazed to hear this and doubt the story very much. I believe I may be able to help you prove that these people are impostors.”

“Oh, if you only could!” Nancy cried out.

Nils Anderson went on to say that old Mr. Sakamaki had given him several letters containing data about rare Japanese flowers. These letters had been written to Mr. Sakamaki while he was still in Japan.

“He had no further use for them,” the professor explained, “and since he knew I would like to study the letters and could read Japanese, he gave them to me. If my memory serves me correctly, the dates on those letters might prove that Mr. Sakamaki was in Japan at the time these people claim he was married and living in California.”

Nancy was almost beside herself with elation. “Do you have these letters here?” she said eagerly.

“Not in Hana,” Nils Anderson replied. “When we moved here, I put them in the bank vault in Honolulu.” Seeing the excitement on Nancy’s face, he smiled and added, “I’ll be very happy to fly to Honolulu and look at the letters. If I am right in my assumption, I’ll turn the letters over to the executors of Mr. Sakamaki’s estate.”

“That’s very kind, and certainly wonderful news,” said Nancy.

Professor Anderson smiled. “Before getting in touch with the executor, I’ll call you on the phone. Will you be at Kaluakua?”

For an instant Nancy toyed with the idea of returning immediately to Honolulu and awaiting his call. But she decided to postpone the trip back until she had gone to the island of Hawaii and watched the angel birds flying over Mauna Loa. She must figure out the next clue to the secret of Kaluakua! She told her plan to the professor, who said he would put off his flight to Honolulu a day.

The following morning Nancy decided to telephone Kiyabu and tell him of the trip to Hawaii and also find out what had been going on at the estate. The caretaker told her that no messages had come from anyone, including Mr. Drew.

“We are having bad luck here,” Kiyabu reported. “Mr. Jerral was taken ill soon after dinner the day you left. He has been confined to his bed ever since. Mr. Chatley had a doctor for him.”

“Then that means he has not been able to keep watch on Roy Chatley and his sister,” Nancy remarked.

“I am afraid not,” Kiyabu replied, “but I have been guarding the place the best I could. Emma has been helping me, too.”

“Are your guests enjoying themselves?” Nancy asked.

An exclamation of disgust came from Kiyabu. “Miss Drew, those people are impossible. Always they are ordering me to go on errands. I am sure they want me to leave the estate for good. Then they have harsh words for Emma and me and they have threatened us several times.”

“How dreadful!” Nancy exclaimed.

“But that part is not so bad as the rest,” the caretaker went on. “Mrs. Lee and Mr. Chatley have had company here all the time. The people who come are very rough. They have broken much furniture. Emma and I have put away all the small pieces we could.”

Nancy tried to express her sympathy and say that she and her friends would return immediately, but she had no chance. Kiyabu talked fast and loud in his excitement.

“The men make jokes all the time. They say they want double of eggs and. double of coffee. One of them even ordered double cakes of soap for his bathroom. And every time one of them says this, the rest of them laugh so loud it hurts my ears.”

The distraught caretaker went on with his tale of woe, saying how sick poor Mr. Jerral was and what were he and Emma going to do? But Nancy did not answer. A sudden thought had come to her which made her instinctively clutch at her throat.

Were Janet Lee and Roy Chatley knowingly entertaining members of the Double Scorps at Kaluakua?

An Explosion

KIYABU continued to complain bitterly of the unseemly doings at Kaluakua. “Those visitors played some crazy game in the garden and ruined some of my rare plants!” he cried out in despair. “And Mr. Sakamaki was so proud of his flowers!”

Nancy was indignant. Her thoughts traveled to Mr. Jerral. Why had he permitted this? Was he too ill to object? Why had he not sent for a replacement ?

It occurred to her that possibly Mr. Jerral was not so ill as he seemed to be—that he was using this method to allay any suspicion on the part of the “guests” at Kaluakua, and actually was watching them very intently. Nevertheless, she offered to return to the estate at once.

“That will not be necessary, Miss Nancy,” Kiyabu said. “We will manage somehow.”

“Do you think,” Nancy questioned, “that Roy Chatley’s guests are searching for something?”

“No, I do not,” Kiyabu replied. “I just think they are here to have a good time. But they have very bad manners.”

“In any case, we’ll be home late tomorrow,” Nancy promised. “If things get too bad, I suggest you call the police.”

After the young sleuth hung up, she kept wondering whether or not she had made the right decision in not going directly home. When she discussed it with the others in her group, they urged Nancy to go to the island of Hawaii to see the angel birds. Moki and a friend of his drove them to the airport in two cars.

“I have a friend in Hawaii who is a fine guide as well as taxi driver,” Moki told them. “When you arrive at the airport in Hilo, ask for Keaka.”

“We’ll do that,” said Ned. “Thanks, Moki.”

Upon their arrival at Hilo three-quarters of an hour later, Nancy and Ned questioned the taxi drivers until they found Keaka. He was a small, dark, pleasant man about forty years of age.

“Yes, I can take you for a trip at once and give you as much time as you like,” he said. “I am grateful to my friend Moki for sending you to me.”

Learning that they would be able to stay only until the following afternoon, he suggested a general sight-seeing tour at once. They could stay overnight at the Volcano House, and take a look at Mauna Loa the next morning.

Keaka’s car was a station wagon, so there was plenty of room for everyone. Part of the luggage was strapped to the roof. Then everyone got in.

“Have you ever heard of our Fern Forest?” Keaka asked.

Ned said that he had read that the ferns were really as high as trees.

Keaka laughed. “You shall judge for yourself,” he answered, and drove off.

The city of Hilo itself was a busy place, with a fine harbor where steamers unloaded all types of freight. One of the most interesting sections of the waterfront was the bulk-sugar storage plant.

Keaka suggested that they look around inside. He led the way into the building and up a twisting flight of iron steps. At the top was a catwalk from which one could look down into the huge sugar storage vats.

“This place can receive more than three hundred tons of sugar an hour and can load freighters at the rate of six hundred tons an hour,” their guide told them.

“Astounding!” remarked Hannah Gruen.

Two of the bins were filled with brown raw sugar which Keaka said would be refined in California. The other bins were empty.

“You could practically set the Empire State Building from New York City in one of these,” George remarked.

“You sure could,” Burt agreed. Then, grinning, he said, “I’d say this is the sweetest place on earth.”

First, I'm asking this question in general to address those calling for impeachment without any comment about whether an impeachment should/would happen etc. I just want to speak to how possible/impossible an actual removal from office is, if those calling for an impeachment were to get their way in such a hypothetical situation.

Right now (as of Feb 13 2017) I don't think Trump has done anything that has any realistic chance of impeachment occurring, but anti-Trump individuals keep speculating to issues they feel will inevitably occur. I've heard of a few such claims, most common seems to be issues with Trump abusing his presidency to help his businesses. So, I am wondering about this sort of hypothetical situation where Trump has done something, without speculating what exactly, to further alienate/upset Congress, enough to lead to impeachment hearings happening. How badly would this hypothetical something have to be that he would have a realistic chance of being removed from office?

Since past impeachments (all two of them!) seemed to involve votes following party lines, for these sorts of votes lets say in this hypothetical impeachment almost every Democrat voted for removal, what is the number of people left that would need to vote 'against' party lines (or with the Democrats in the case of Independents or third party candidates), and frankly how severely would Trump had to have #@%$ up to have alienated so many Republicans?

For example, if something happened to alienate all the Independents and those Republicans who had previously renounced or spoken out against Trump when he was running against Clinton, how many votes would that be for removal and how many of the rest of the remaining Republican base would still have to be alienated to reach the 2/3 number?

How many 'hard right' Republicans, Tea Party members and the like, that are unlikely to ever vote against Trump in impeachment hearings are there? What percentage of the remaining Republicans, who didn't denounce Trump but theoretically could vote against him if a severe enough incident were to come to light, would that leave that need to vote against Trump?

I know his VP is a very hard-right-leaning Republican, so I wonder if this affects the likely outcome. Would Republicans be more inclined to vote against Trump to get a VP with strong right leanings if Trump doesn't stick to Republican doctrine etc?

Even harder to speculate, but if we theorized a situation after the next election where Democrats had the majority, let's say around the level when Obama took office, before the impeachment happened. How would that affect the number of Republicans that would have to vote against party lines?

    Personally, I think this question is too far on the primarily opinion-based end of things to work and would vote to close if I could. I don't think you have to use the hypothetical at all. Just ask for more information on impeachment and removal, without all the what ifs. – CGCampbell Feb 13 '17 at 21:43

    There seems to be a lot of questions being fired off here. Can you please formulate a single clear question that gets to the root of your thoughts. I think the common denominator here is "How many people would never vote to impeach trump" to which the answer is none, everyone would eventually vote to impeach him for something. – David says Reinstate Monica Feb 13 '17 at 21:54
  • Agreed, the question needs to be rephrased to elicit an answer that doesn't require much subjectivity – Halfway Dillitante Feb 14 '17 at 3:49

Impeachment of a president requires a simple majority vote by the House of Representatives.

Removal from office requires a 2/3 super majority vote in the Senate.

The history of the U.S. would indicate impeachment is unlikely. Consider the following.

  • There have been 35 attempts at impeachment.
  • Articles of Impeachment have been filed 9 times.
  • There have been 2 impeachments by the congress (Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton). (This requires a simple majority vote by the House of Representatives.)
  • There have been zero convictions by the Senate.

The Senate class up for election in 2018 was last up in 2012 and 2006. It is more Democratic now than when Barack Obama took office. The absolute limit of gains in that class is eight seats, as there are only eight Republicans. That would take the Democrats from forty-six plus two independents who caucus with the Democrats to fifty-four plus two, i.e. fifty-six.

A more likely result would be a gain of two seats, Nevada and Arizona. The other six are exceptionally Republican and unlikely to go Democrat. Democrats would have forty-eight seats or fifty total with the independents.

So best case, Democrats need eleven Republican Senators (a quarter of the caucus) to switch. More likely, seventeen (about a third of the Republican caucus). Currently nineteen (of fifty-two).

Note that it was Barry Goldwater, usually considered a "hard right" Republican who told Richard Nixon that he was voting against him that led to Nixon's resignation.

The Republicans who are most vulnerable to Trump now are the moderates from swing states. The moderates need Trump's endorsement to rally the base. The conservatives can better afford to criticize him, as they can spare more Republican voters in the general election. We saw examples of this 2016, as the fight between Trump and Senators Joe Heck and Kelly Ayotte resulted in all three losing those states.

That said, 538.com did a feature estimating what Senators from both parties were most and least likely to support Trump.

That Mike Pence isn't, say, Elizabeth Warren may make things a bit easier. But any Republican would be sufficient.

There's something of a tipping point as well. To a certain point, denial is a valid strategy to avoid impeachment. Republicans need Trump as strong as possible to support them. But at a certain point, Trump stops being net helpful. At that point, Republicans are better off abandoning Trump and clearing themselves. It may well be no accident that there are zero successful presidential impeachments and one resignation. The resignation allowed Senators of the same party to avoid taking a stand.

Rather than looking at the Senators, it might make more sense to look at voters. What would it take to peel Trump's supporters away from him? That's probably what it takes to peel Senators away. Because he didn't come through the political process, Trump's power derives from his voters. He doesn't have personal allegiances from politicians on which he can rely.

    The Senate's role is to convict; it's the House, by a simple majority of members voting, that starts by impeaching. – DJohnM Feb 14 '17 at 2:15
  • 4
    The question is "if impeached, what does it take to remove?" The answer is two thirds of the Senate. It's already past the House at that point. – Brythan Feb 14 '17 at 4:28

About Stamp

Canada's extensive coasts and vast maze of rivers and lakes encouraged the development of many different types of boats by Native People. These craft provided mobility where it was otherwise practically impossible to travel. Chipewyan Indians built narrow, flat-bottomed canoes with low, flaring sides for hunting caribou and for traveling. Both stern and bow were partly decked, preventing water from entering the craft. The Chipewyans used both birch and spruce bark as sheathing. Graphic designer Louis-André Rivard and illustrator Bernard Leduc, both of Montreal, together designed these four stamps. They picture the Native craft as first seen by the Europeans. The environments where each boat would characteristically be found form a backdrop for the small craft depicted.

Designed by Louis-André Rivard.

Dealing with social media mishaps

chrysler tweet

When you tweet something about work that you shouldn’t have, or from the wrong account and it gets picked up, you want the ground to swallow you up. It’s awful, and the chronicles of social media crises are full of heads on pikestaffs.

But what feels like a full-on social media crisis at the time, often turns out to be a storm in a teacup a few days later, with only a few red faces to show for it. It’s one of the ‘mishap’ scenarios described in a great piece of guidance from New Zealand (hat tip: Craig Thomler) which they deem the more easily fixable.

In a training course on Monday, we gave participants three ‘crisis’ scenarios, and got them to share what their handling strategy would be for each. The one that sparked the most debate was a version of this one:

A junior communications officer has been tweeting live coverage of a ceremony taking place, at which national VIPs are present, including a Cabinet Minister and senior managers. During the sombre event, thinking they are tweeting from a personal account, the officer accidentally tweets a picture along with the comment “stick a bomb under the lot of them and there’ll be #nomorecuts”, which is widely retweeted.

Assuming you’re responsible for the channel, let me know in the comments or by Twitter (checking you’re logged into the right account first) what you would do:

  1. immediately?
  2. in the following few days?

For extra credit, how would your response differ if the account in question was the individual’s own work-related account (where they say in their bio or username where they work), rather than the organisation’s corporate channel?

Not sure there’s a right answer, but I’ll post an update with my thoughts tomorrow.

Thanks for the comments and responses on Twitter – all pretty sound thinking, I’d say. Here’s what my answer would be:

We can conclude a few things here:

  • The perpetrator of the offence will have learned a salutory lesson, and will be a wiser and smarter tweeter as a consequence who double checks before posting a controversial opinion (a valuable learning experience)
  • This isn’t the right place for humour: this was a sombre ceremony, and a fairly serious mis-tweet
  • We need to be transparent about what happened and how we’ll learn from the experience
  • We need to respond quickly, ideally within a few minutes but certainly within a couple of hours
  • Longer term, we need to avoid similar mis-tweets, which in this case means ensuring people don’t mix accounts in apps like TweetDeck

So, assuming this happened on a corporate account, I’d suggest the team:

  • apologise
  • set record straight (including deleting the tweet)
  • take some action to reduce the risk of it happening again (not necessarily preventing the original tweeter from ever tweeting again)

“Sorry, a member of our team inappropriately tweeted an offensive personal opinion through this account”

“We’ve removed it, as it’s not the <org>’s view, and we’ll take steps to prevent that kind of mistake happening again”

“Today is really about <sombre ceremony>: [link to coverage/round-up of event]”

If it happened on an individual’s own professional account, the approach would be the same, with a couple of differences:

  • distance the professional persona from offensive remark
  • promise to learn, making sure you come across as an individual and show a bit of remorse
  • be clear this is about foolishness, not self-flagellation

“Sorry, I foolishly tweeted an offensive comment through this account in the heat of the moment. I’ve since removed it.”

“It didn’t reflect my professional view or the view of my employer. I’ve learned a tough lesson and will apply better judgment in future.”

Any views?

    Sorry to be a bit of a pain, but does the organisation in question have a social media policy? Because such a policy should have some kind of guidance on what to do.

    Beyond that here’s how I would proceed:
    – an apology is needed, and it needs to be clear, concise and swift
    – the apology should come from the employee themselves, and should not draw the bosses into it
    – I’m unsure as to whether it’s worth deleting the original offending message – the damage is done anyway
    – Longer term this would need some group reflection with the employee concerned, and indeed every employee too. Done correctly it could be a good opportunity to change the culture in the organisation with regard to social media.

    Of course none of that is a complete answer, but swift, honest and frank is generally the best way.

    1. Steph Steph says:

      Assume you’re making the policy up here, I’d say.

      Good answer, by the way.

  2. Avatar Jon Worth says:

    Ok, so if the policy is the most general one – i.e. don’t be stupid – this employee has clearly broken it, and seriously. But priority one is to stop the mess – and doing that needs an immediate apology and explanation. The more complex stuff is longer term – if I were the offending employee’s manager I would be livid – not with the individual necessarily, but because the conservative control culture would kick in within the organisation. That’s what would need to be averted at all costs.

    BTW if you want a real life study on this you can compare and contrast the European Commission’s reaction to the Kill Bill video, and the Girls in Science in video. In the former, DG Enlargement realised they made a mess (disclosure: via a contorted route I advised them to acknowledge this) and the problem was dealt with reasonably effectively. DG Research (I think) was responsible for the other one and when it met a similar critique they just let the whole thing rumble on, causing much more damage.

  3. Avatar Marc schmid says:

    Very good advice. As with any mishap honesty is the best method of dampening down the heat on the issue. Therefore in this case to apologise and promise to stop this happening again should be suffice although as the ‘good day to bury bad news’ incident showed after 9/11 sometimes the mistake is so hard to defend the apologising is not enough. This tends to be the case when the all too unforgiving politics is involved so in general an apology and pledge to act should be enough. Worst approach would be to delete and trot out the ‘we’ve been hacked’ line.
