Neo-Nazi Condoms? Anti- Immigrant NDP Contraceptive Campaign Sparks Outrage in Germany.

Youth branch of the far-right National Democratic Party (NDP) in Germany has
sparked outrage after it sent out racist condoms to politicians. The controversial condoms were marked with an offensive
message that were used in the far-right party's campaign against immigrant births.
The contraceptives came in black boxes bearing the slogan"For foreigners and certain Germans". The activists sent them to politicians and lawmakers as a protest against "unchecked immigration".
The message had a particular resonance in the country where the Nazi party also tried to control childbirth, encouraging
people considered pure-blood Germans to breed, while going as far as sterilizing people from other groups.
The condoms came with a letter, telling lawmakers: "We are protesting against
unchecked immigration and the resulting population change in our country.
"You are failing to provide the foundations for a family policy which will halt the demographic catastrophe
facing our people," the letter added.
Green party politician Volker Beck - a leading anti-fascist campaigner - received one of the condoms in the post the Hamburger Morgenpost newspaper reported.
He complained to the maker of the condom's, R&S, who have since apologised and pledged to donate 10,000 condoms as well as the proceeds from the NPD order to a German foundation against right-wing extremism and anti-Semitism.
"We are very sorry that this major error happened and that our condoms were connected to such propaganda," R&S head Axel Roth said in a statement.
"We should have been more careful when checking the printed material." Germany tried in 2003 to ban the NPD, a party branded "racist, anti-Semitic and
revisionist" by Germany's domestic intelligence service, but failed.

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for  50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

Changing nature of the rules of the game. As search engines strive to improve the quality of search results, some ranking factors shift shapes, others fall into oblivion, and completely new ones arise out of nowhere. To help you stay ahead of the game in 2018, here’s a list of the most prominent trends that are gaining momentum, with tips on how you can prepare for each. 1. The rise of SERP features Are you assuming a #1 organic ranking is  the  way to get as much traffic as possible? Think again.

It has gone all the way from “10 blue links”… … to something that makes you feel like you’re part of a Brazilian carnival. What can you do about it?
