There is no doubt in my mind that social networking is here to stay. For example some months back Facebook had reached a milestone of 150 million active users worldwide, half of which signs in daily. If Facebook were a country, it would be the eighth most populated in the world, just ahead of
But we must be reminded that every good tool can be misused and that we must use the same judgment and wisdom that we practice in our off-line life to our on-line world. The same parenting that is needed in the real world works is needed in the online world as well. It’s very easy to be under the illusion that whatever you do online is private and that one can get away with it. But case after case it shows that the opposite is true. The Internet is not as private as we think it is. Anything we do on the internet is like a permanent mark on our record for future scrutiny by prospective colleges and employers. So let’s be judicious before we press the submit button on any content that we upload on our social profiles. The last but not the least is that these new internet tools are not here to replace the conventional ways of interaction but only to compliment it. So protect yourself and your loved ones on the Internet and harness the true power of technology to transform your life.
Social networking sites can be a great way for teenagers and young adults to connect with their friends and build their social skills but it has to be used judiciously and with advice and counseling from Parents. Parents will always have the best intentions for their off springs and you need to help them in protecting you online.
How to Add Additional Content and Scripts
In your Shopify admin > Checkout settings (
/admin/settings/checkout), there is an “Additional Content & Scripts” textarea box. This box allows you to interface with the "Thank You" page. Happy Checkout does not place any code inside this box by default.
This box is very descriptively named because it does indeed accept both content (HTML and Plain Text) as well as scripts (JavaScript). If you place anything inside this box that is considered content it naturally shows up on the "Thank You" page. We recommend using this for Google Analytics tracking codes so these will be accurate if Happy Checkout is ever uninstalled or disabled temporarily (for example, if you edit your layout).
When the "Additional Content & Scripts" box is empty, the checkout is normal and Happy Checkout runs fine.
If the "Additional Content & Scripts" box contains an HTML comment, this little bit of code can have repercussions on the "Thank You" page. The page will display another box under the General module. If you’d like to get rid of this box, use this code inside your advanced / CSS box.
div#additional-content { display:none }
The "Additional Content & Scripts" box can also contain an HTML anchor link that connects the customer to a page where they can download some fictional content they purchased through your shop.Updated thoughts (and some portfolio moves) on Berkshire, Fairfax Financial, Markel, Apple, Alphabet, Arista, Crown Castle, Shopify, The Trade Desk and more...
I’m a little sad not to be in Omaha this weekend for the Berkshire meeting, but I’ll be watching some of the Q&A tomorrow to see how Warren and Charlie are looking and try to get some little nuggets of wisdom from them.
The biggest news lately from Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) is that they’re at it again, using two of their most valuable assets (Warren Buffett’s reputation, and their ability to make fast decisions with massive amounts of money) to backstop a corporate takeover in exchange for preferred shares and warrants.
Berkshire has agreed to invest $10 billion in Occidental Petroleum (OXY) through preferred shares, in order to buttress their surprise offer for Anadarko Petroleum (APC) and help give them some heft to discourage Chevron (CVX) from upping its initial bid. Buffett’s involvement gives a stamp of approval that investors and management teams almost always respond positively to, at least subconsciously, and $10 billion in cash helps to make sure that Occidental’s higher bid doesn’t get drowned out by the “safer” bid from Chevron.
We don’t know what Occidental shareholders will decide, or if Chevron will up its bid, but if it works out Berkshire gets a nice position in a growing company, with preferred dividends (8%) and warrants (for 80 million shares at $62.50), with both the preferreds and the warrants apparently having long terms (about 10 years, which would mean that Berkshire is guaranteed to get back 80% of its investment just from dividends). That’s not unlike the “rescue” funding or deal financing Buffett has agreed to in the past with folks like Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Kraft Heinz, Mars and GE, most of which have worked out very well for Berkshire not because the stocks always did well during the time Berkshire held them (though mostly they did fine), but because the preferred shares and warrants were on such good terms. Berkshire and Buffett don’t always win, of course, we need only look at Kraft Heinz to confirm that (though Berkshire still isn’t badly in the red on that deal, they just passed up on a lot of gains by overpaying and then holding too long), but they tend to do well.
And it’s notable, as well, that Buffett is so eager to deploy meaningful amounts of capital that he was available at a moment’s notice for Occidental to fly into Omaha to hammer out...Beginning Wednesday at 8 p.m. (repeating Sundays at 7 p.m.) 360 North-TV will broadcast a four-part documentary series on the Marine Highway’s 50 years of operation.

It’s clear the Alaska Marine Highway is an integral part of coastal Alaskans lives. In this series, people share their stories, like artist and Ketchikan resident Ray Troll, who came up on the ferry to help his sister open a fish shop.
“I think I came by myself, but I came just for the summer, of 1983, and 30 years later, I’m still here.”
Stories of people like retired Boatswain, John Kanarr, who met his wife while working aboard the Malaspina.
“My wife likes to say this, I don’t, but she does, that the Alaska state ferry system was the original Love Boats.”
Petersburg Track coach, Brad Taylor, says the ferry system is the only economical way to get athletic teams around Southeast.
“We would love to be able to travel, you know, by air, just because the time out of school would be less, but there’s no way we would be able to afford that.”
Stephanie Hoag, from Juneau, weaves the ferry into the seasons of her life and thanks the Taku for her life.
“The other really significant thing about the ferries for me is the fact that, they saved my life.”
You’ll have to watch the series to find out how.

There are also a handful of purebreds that are very similar to the American Pit Bull Terrier, and which are frequently mistaken for pit bulls. Then there are
