“Oh, look at that garden! And there’s a house!! You can just about make it out. Wow, what a cool place. I wonder who lived there!”“An old woman, a loner, a witch, they say. Never used to come out, never did come out. Haunts it now, they say.”“What do you mean, never came out?”“They never found her, she just disappeared.”“No body?”“No, not a trace. Of course, they don’t know how long she’d been dead.”“But that’s awful!”“Maybe, but I think she’d have liked it that way, kind of cool when you think about it.”“But they searched the garden, surely?”“Yes, but look at it, what would you find in there? It’s a bog, a wilderness.”“How mysterious.”“Yes, and good on her, I say.”“You don’t think it’s sad, or that she was lonely? Or scared?”“No, I think she was one of the lucky ones. I’d like to buy this house one day. That’s my dream…”

EXCLUSIVE: Twitter ditches S.F. expansion plan as growth lags
Twitter Inc. abandoned plans at the 11th hour for a big expansion into Uber and Square’s 1455 Market St. headquarters, potentially due to a hiring slowdown, according to three people with knowledge of the company’s plans.
Before putting U.S. expansion plans on hold, the microblog social networking company had nearly finalized a deal with 1455 Market landlord Hudson Pacific Properties (NYSE:HPP) last week to add about 100,000 square feet of former Bank of America office space a block away from…

Not Just Tuna: The truth behind the world’s biggest tuna company
It’s time to change the tuna industry.
The global tuna industry is out of control. It is emptying our oceans of fish, harming other marine life and exploiting workers in shocking ways.
Workers report being beaten, abused and even forced to work on ships for months or years at a time. Fishing vessels use methods that wreak havoc on marine life like sharks and sea turtles. Tuna is even being stored in the same containers as the dirty diesel the ships use, then sold onto consumers.
Though the reality of the industry is clear, the world’s largest canned tuna company – Thai Union Group – is looking the other way. But we know from hard-hitting media exposés to our own investigative research that Thai Union Group is seriously implicated in horrendous human rights and environmental abuses.
Thai Union Group has launched a new logo and PR campaign – “One Future” – to convince all of us that its reputation and work practices are beyond question. But there is no future for tuna and for many who are forced to work in the industry if Thai Union Goup does not clean up its act.
We need more than a slick PR campaign and new logo. That’s why we contacted Thai Union Group last Friday to say that we are launching a global campaign demanding that it address environmental and labour abuse in its supply chain and that we’ll expose its brands – from Sealect in Thailand, to Chicken of the Sea in the United States, to John West in the UK and Petit Navire in France – so consumers know what they are buying.
We also wrote to Thai Union Group’s shareholders and other institutional investors warning them of the financial risks associated with these destructive and harmful practices.
No response yet.
Thai Union Group needs to make some dramatic changes. But for that to happen, the company’s management has to feel pressure from people all over the world.
Thai Union Group can become the world’s leader in providing seafood that is sustainably and ethically sourced. Thai Union Group’s size, reach and purchasing power mean the company has both a huge responsibility and is uniquely positioned to drive much needed change in global tuna fisheries.
Greenpeace has already made progress with leading brands and retailers in major markets, including the UK and Australia – getting them to clean up their tuna supply chains. Now we are up against the world’s largest tuna corporation and its brands, everywhere. It’s going to take all of us. But when we change Thai Union Group, we will start changing the entire tuna industry.
Join this new global campaign and tell Thai Union Group it’s time to change.
