Making the Shift From Tactics to Strategy – Communications in Emerging Markets
Alex Malouf
I've been in the public relations business long enough to remember when the role was all about writing press releases, long media lunches and distributing news via floppy disks or the fax machine. Two decades back, the role of public relations was to secure media coverage. We were tasked with shaping the story and pushing it out to the press.
Today, the story is different. The role of the communicator has shifted, to include everything relating to the concepts of reputation and engagement. The modern chief communications officer is a board member, responsible for internal and external communication, with creating and implementing communication strategies that help mould an organization's mission, vision, value, and character, and with building a firm's reputation through stakeholder engagement.
That shift requires today's communicator to be a master of multiple disciplines: they must be business-savvy, able to comprehend how communications aligns with the wider organizational strategy; communicators must understand both technology – how it's impacting how we communicate – and psychology, the science behind attitudes and behavior. They need to be able to bring the outside in, and advise executives truthfully on how they're viewed by the media, customers, governments, consumers and NGOs.
The role of the modern-day communicator is both exciting and daunting. Where once we had a limited set of media to engage with, now our stakeholder base can include thousands or even millions thanks to the reach of social media. We don't have the luxury of time either; there's a need to engage and react in real time online, through words, images and videos.
For me, the biggest change has taken place in internal communications. There's a growing understanding among organizational leaders that employee engagement is vital to building a strong culture at work, raising productivity and encouraging innovation. While the internal experience and the role that communicators can play here is being discussed more, we need to push for its specialization in emerging markets, both through appointing communicators who focus solely on this area as well as sharing with communicators in markets such as the Gulf on internal communications best practices.
We need to take a leadership of the discussion on the role communications plays in organizations, and lobby for specializations. While I've enjoyed working as a generalist throughout my career in emerging markets, I also understand that there are too many things for a generalist to focus on and attempt to do today. The emergence of a class of internal communicators across emerging markets is an exciting idea, both for us who work in the profession as well as the millions of employees who work in places such as the Middle East and Africa who want, and need, better organizational communications.
Education will play a huge role here. As will sharing of experiences. I'm especially excited about the opportunity to meet with other communicators face-to-face, to hear how they're implementing new ideas and approaches to communication. I'll be traveling to Bahrain in February to attend EMENAComm, a one-off IABC conference that'll feature experts from the world over who'll share the insights, know-how and tools to help me and fellow communicators achieve a strategic transformation through communications.
We're living in an age of change, and the notion of communications is also in flux. My job today is different to what I did a year ago, let alone a decade back. The shift from tactics to strategy is going to pick up pace, as will the specialization of the communications function in emerging markets; this can only be good for everyone, for communicators, for our organizations, and for our stakeholders.

FT-8080-1 is made with a 1/4 inch smooth aluminum plate reinforced for live load of 150 pounds/sq. ft. It is recessed 1 inch for ceramic tile/concrete. The door panel is secured to frame with 1/4" x 1" flat head screws.


Three words to make your field workforce perform to the best of their abilities.
What would you do when your plans for effective field service management don't execute as you wish them? It's simple. Just go back to the basics and reinvent the wheel. It's an arduous task if you stack it as such. But imagine the big names like Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Apple, or Tesla. These companies renovate to resonate with each evolution stage of its audience.
If you followed the iPhone X launch, you would have followed a wave of new age pricing and audience profiling with the subdued iPhone 8 vs the grand iPhone X. Now imagine the distributors and the retailers pitching the same to the end-consumer. How would this pitch come out? Would it be consistent with what Apple has in mind? Historically speaking, the answer to this question is a 'Yes' for Apple, but a 'Maybe Not' for many others.
How to Boost Sales Using Field Sales Management Software?
Your 'pitch' should be well set before your field sales workforce goes on their routes. They should know that the pitch they would be using for their clients, whether distributors, retailers, or enterprises. These 'pitches' is would what move further into the channel (or within the prospect's enterprise). The distributors, retailers, or prospective point of contacts would speak the same language that you have given them. If the interaction of your sales workforce is precise then the further chained conversations can be better controlled.
This can be put into process effectively using a proper field sales management software. Field service management is a dynamic field which needs to be better directed and molded for best results. With a precise field sales management software, you could control whether your field sales workforce reaches their appointments on time. This is just the first step but one of the most important steps.
Reach on Time: Use the Field Agent Performance Optimization Tech Now!
Many sales meetings start off on a sour note if the sales agent doesn't reach the event on time. It's akin to be on a backfoot in the sales pitch. Timeliness is very important in setting a good impression for any sales agent. Especially in enterprise deals, field agents must manage their appointments wisely.
Companies could utilize their field service management tool to perfection by allocating tasks to ask per best suitability. Now, what is this best suitability? The best suitability is matching the sales or service agent, with documented qualities and abilities, with the perfect sales pitch or client. There would be some agent who is more attuned to specific prospects or clients and they should ideally meet with those. This is called effectual sales benefits.
LogiNext recently utilized these principles with one the largest beverage companies and their bottler networks. LogiNext Field, a field service management software, could boost their channel sales by more than 20%.
Effective Feedback Capturing and Invoicing with Mobile Field Service Software!
The main push a field agent management software could do for any company is to maximize the chance of a positive output from each sales or service visit. There are two ways to do this. The first being information support. LogiNext Field boosts of meeting insights and in-app chatting to keep the field agent active and engaged to answer any client query anytime. Moreover, the feedback from the meeting can be captured in real-time and recorded for the company to review and react. A new sale strategy or an exclusive discount? The on-field agent can have a turn-around decision within moments boosting the credibility of that agent and the company alike.
Even the invoicing or order-placing can be made seamless with an effective field service management application. Imagine getting the inputs from a retailer and feeding it directly into the central system. The order update is then verified by the retailer through their smartphones (or by signing an electronic proof on the agent's application). This would bring clarity and authenticity to the distribution process. Such simplicity would eventually end up boosting channel relations, setting up possible exclusive platforms to push the company's products and services.
Field force management software is here to stay, companies must implement the same as fast as possible to get ahead in the market and create a satisfied channel following of their own.


A file picture dated 11 May 2015 shows an areal view of alleged artificial islands built by China in disputed waters in the South China Sea, west of Palawan, Philippines.
The placement and timing of the missile deployment carried notable significance, coming as U.S. President Barack Obama met in California on Tuesday with leaders of Southeast Asian nations embroiled in territorial disputes with China. The surface-to-air weapons were detected on Woody Island, part of the Paracel Islands chain, just east of Vietnam, one of the nations represented at the summit in California.
Vietnam claims Woody Island, but China has been pursuing extensive land reclamation activity to enlarge the island, as well as others nearby.
The U.S. official wouldn't describe the type of surface-to-air missile, or SAM, placed on Woody Island. But it is likely to be China's HQ-9 SAM, described by Globalsecurity.org, which tracks military weapons, as the country's new generation, medium- to long-range, active-radar homing air-defense missile.


Netbios Name Service (NBT-NS) is used in Windows networks for communication between hosts. Systems will use this service when resolving names over LHOSTS and DNS fail. Abusing this service to perform a Man-in-the-middle attack is a common tactic that has been widely used by penetration testers and red teamers to gain initial foothold inside a system. The retrieved password hashes can be cracked offline or can be used in conjunction with a relay attack to achieve legitimate access into hosts.
Trustwave SpiderLabs developed Responder to implement the NBNS spoofing attack. Running the tool with the following arguments will initiate the poisoning against various protocols that require authentication such as SMB, HTTP etc.
When a host in the network sent a NetBIOS broadcast the machine of the attacker will sent a fake reply and the host will attempt to authenticate to a resource using the NTLM password hash.
The following module will sent the NetBIOS name service responses to the hosts that will sent NetBIOS broadcast requests over the network.
When a network user will attempt to use the NetBIOS broadcast request to identify a resource the traffic will redirected to the attacker host and the password hash will be captured.
The password hash of the user will be captured like Responder and Metasploit.

Humans have special nerves that respond to gentle stroking.
By Seriously ScienceFebruary 22, 2016 12:00 PM

Sometimes there's nothing more comforting than loved one's caress. And, in fact, our bodies are built to respond to touch: we have special nerves in our skin (C-tactile afferents, or "CT") that fire when we are gently stroked. In this study, the authors wanted to test how specific these CT nerves are. To do so, they measured how the nerves responded to strokes from robot hands at different temperatures and speeds. It turns out that CTs respond best to slow caresses, and, just like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, these nerves like it warm—if the hand is too hot or too cold, they don't fire. The researchers conclude that the specificity of these nerves "provides a peripheral mechanism for signaling pleasant skin-to-skin contact in humans, which promotes interpersonal touch and affiliative behavior." How touching!
Human C-tactile afferents are tuned to the temperature of a skin-stroking caress.
"Human C-tactile (CT) afferents respond vigorously to gentle skin stroking and have gained attention for their importance in social touch. Pharmacogenetic activation of the mouse CT equivalent has positively reinforcing, anxiolytic effects, suggesting a role in grooming and affiliative behavior. We recorded from single CT axons in human participants, using the technique of microneurography, and stimulated a unit's receptive field using a novel, computer-controlled moving probe, which stroked the skin of the forearm over five velocities (0.3, 1, 3, 10, and 30 cm s(-1)) at three temperatures (cool, 18 °C; neutral, 32 °C; warm, 42 °C). We show that CTs are unique among mechanoreceptive afferents: they discharged preferentially to slowly moving stimuli at a neutral (typical skin) temperature, rather than at the cooler or warmer stimulus temperatures. In contrast, myelinated hair mechanoreceptive afferents proportionally increased their firing frequency with stroking velocity and showed no temperature modulation. Furthermore, the CT firing frequency correlated with hedonic ratings to the same mechano-thermal stimulus only at the neutral stimulus temperature, where the stimuli were felt as pleasant at higher firing rates. We conclude that CT afferents are tuned to respond to tactile stimuli with the specific characteristics of a gentle caress delivered at typical skin temperature. This provides a peripheral mechanism for signaling pleasant skin-to-skin contact in humans, which promotes interpersonal touch and affiliative behavior."

What is Pyrite? Why is pyrite a problem?
Clean rising walls of contamination. Once the problem is confirmed to be pyrite, a solicitor should be consulted to review the various contracts, guarantees or warranties and insurances in place, and to establish whether legal action should be taken to recover costs for the work from a third party. Removing the contaminated pyrite backfill is an expensive operation and in most cases will involve supporting the existing first floor, roof structure, removing the ground floor concrete floor, partition walls, replacement and removal of all plumbing fixtures, heating and electrical systems in the affected area, before the contaminated pyrite backfill can be removed. In the presence of moisture and oxygen, pyrite oxidises and produces sulphuric acid. The drop down menu at the top will help you find a topic of interest or you can If you have any questions about the site, head over to the. The Irish story In Ireland, the pyrite problem was first identified in 2007. This chemical reaction produces sulphate and can form gypsum, whose crystalisation will cause the stone to burst, the backfill to swell and the concrete itself to crumble and swell.
No, other then the financial and other stresses it leads too. The guide sets out to provide further information to applicants whose dwellings have been included in the Scheme. Strictly speaking, damage caused by pyrite is not isolated to the greater Dublin area and has been recorded worldwide. The Pyrite Resolution Board only accepts online applications. This swelling will result in cracks in the foundations and rising walls around the property.
Where pyrite is present in building materials — such as backfill used under floors — the mineral swells over time causing buckling in concrete floor slabs, difference in flooring levels, cracking in internal walls and sometimes movement in outside walls. The buyer would normally include in the contract documents that the vendor obtain a pyrite test to determine if there is a current or future risk of swelling under the concrete floor slab in the house or new extension. These cracks are normal when concrete floors dry out too quickly. It is the responsibility of the home owner to prove a case of pyrite heave. Mobile homes, vehicles or vessels. If the depth of the backfill under the floor slab is significant and the percentage of pyrite contamination in the backfill is on the higher side, the foundations and rising walls may not be strong enough to prevent horizontal expansion, thus resulting in foundation spread.
Medical opinion suggests that the quantities of sulfuric acid are too small to cause health problems. For those homes with a high risk of damage, they will be designated as such under the new Standard. Then got my own builder in to address the issue. When pyrite is exposed to oxygen and moisture it oxidises and produces sulphuric acid which then may react with calcium carbonates in the backfill to form gypsum which results in the swelling of the backfill. Buying Your New Home When buying a house you should make sure to have a structural survey carried out first. He expects repairs to take around 12 weeks.
The speed of reaction will depend on the depth of the backfill, the extent of the pyrite within the backfill and the amount of oxygen and moisture available to allow the reaction to take place. The damage that pyrite backfill can cause is an expensive defect to remedy and stressful to the property owner. If you do not make a return and tell Revenue that your property is exempt, the Revenue Estimate may become payable. Cracking and bulging of internal partition walls. In a number of high profile cases which have already gone to the courts it would appear that the courts are taking the side of home owners if contaminated pyrite backfill has been found under their floor slabs. If you are looking to secure a mortgage on the property your bank will require a green cert if there are indications of pyrite contamination in the estate or surrounding area.
The minerals illustrated sold previously and are for photographic reference only. It is not unusual for cracks to be visible in foundation walls, structural walls and floors in your home that have no relation to pyrite. The minerals on this site are presented for reference purposes only. How to apply To claim an exemption, you must complete your Local Property Tax Return and indicate the exemption condition you satisfy the lists each condition. The last house I bought had pyrite. In its natural state, the pyrite mineral remains un-reactive.
When we realised there was a problem, we put off having a family in the house. This involves coring a hole through the floor slab and removing the backfill for chemical analysis testing. The Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy welcomed the revised standards. This is due to a chemical reaction that can cause pyritic backfill to swell. In addition to the structural damage associated with pyritiferous heave of the sub-slab fill material, porous concrete exposed to thaumasite, water and carbon dioxide may experience sulphate attack which renders the concrete structurally weakened. Conclusions The pyrite problem is significant, and very worrying for those householders affected. The Standard not only had to consider the characteristics of the fill itself but also the extent of structural damage in the building, whether the damage was progressive and whether it was caused by pyritic heave.
The presence of pyrite in the backfill will cause the concrete floor slab to lift and crack over the swelling backfill. No, we are currently establishing a database of contractors who can carry out pyrite repairs as per the system that operates in Canada. Pyrite is a sulphide material that occurs in many sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Crack between external wall and slab at external door threshold. Residents of two housing estates in , north Dublin and , Co Meath had waited up to six years to have the serious structural problems fixed and were forced to move out of their homes for months to allow major work take place. Surveyors will undoubtedly be involved in identifying and remedying damage to pyrite-affected houses, and in advising householders and other building owners on the more complex issues arising in relation to insurances and contractual liabilities. What if I have a number of cracks in my concrete floor, do I have a pyrite problem? Cracked concrete and porous concrete such as medium and normal density masonry blocks are most at risk of sulphate attack when the sulphates become suspended and transported in water.
When the sulfuric acid in the backfill reacts with the concrete floor slab, the underside of the concrete floor slab will swell from sulphation and begins to breakdown and crumble. There are estimated to be a greater number of extensions that have been added to older properties then there are new houses built using contaminated pyrite backfill. There is no hard and fast rule as to when Pyrite will activate. However, swelling can begin to occur after as little as one year, if oxidation of pyrite has already started during construction. There are more cases coming on stream all the time.


This is my first Christmas in my new place and to say that I'm excited about the holidays this year would be an understatement. I always love this time of year, but this December felt extra special. My enthusiasm arrived early—I gleefully began listening to Christmas music as the last plate was cleared from the Thanksgiving table ("Carol of the Bells" on major repeat, anyone?).
As the days got closer, I wrestled with the decision of whether or not to get a Christmas tree this year. But, ultimately, I couldn't imagine skipping what has become a tradition for me. While I made concessions in terms of size, my little 48 inch tree is a champion—and may just become a new tradition from this point on (it was so much easier transporting and decorating the little guy).
After many changes and challenges this year, I am feeling unbelievably thankful and grateful. I plan on cherishing this Christmas and each and every day leading up to the New Year.
I hope that whatever and wherever you celebrate this holiday season, it brings you as much joy as it did for me, and that you are surrounded by the ones you love and who love you.
Merry Christmas my friend! So glad you got a tree and happy that your journey this year ended on a high note. Have a Happy New Year Vanessa!
Thanks, Ankita! I was glad that I ended up doing a tree again. It makes the holidays feel extra special.

R&W Connect helps Aussie home movers disconnect services from their previous address everyday. It's an important part of moving that can be easily forgotten. Failure to notify your utility suppliers can leave you paying for someone else's bills until either you, or the new occupant, notify the supplier of the move.
When should you organise your disconnection?
Generally speaking, you need to provide a minimum of 4 business days notice to allow your electricity and gas retailers to disconnect your home. They will arrange for a meter read to be performed at your current home.
To disconnect your electricity and gas a special meter read needs to be taken so that your utility suppliers can produce a final account for the premises.
For telephone and water disconnections it is best to let us know at least 2 business days before you vacate the property.
How does the disconnection process work?
You can either spend your time calling around and waiting on hold, or R&W Connect can take the leg work out by handling multiple disconnections for you.

The lawsuit filed by Jennifer Norred's parents blame the sheriff, the jail health care contractor and staff for her 2017 suicide while in jail.
The parents of Jennifer "Casey" Norred filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit against the Leon County Sheriff's Office Thursday claiming the agency's negligence resulted in the 36-year-old's July 2017 suicide in her jail cell.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Tallahassee names Sheriff Walt McNeil, the jail's contract health provider, Corizon, the jail and health care administrators and a jail doctor and mental health counselor.
The complaint alleges Norred, who suffered from several serious mental illnesses, did not receive adequate care and her death was the direct result of deliberate indifference to the risk of suicide. It cites a variety of deficiencies within the jail, including staffing levels, training and inmate safety issues.
Just before Norred hanged herself with her jail-issued pants from her bed, she was kept for 24 hours in a restraint chair after a suicide attempt. This was done, the complaint says, not for a therapeutic reason, but to relieve personnel from supervision duties at the chronically under-staffed facility.
Until that attempt to end her life, no evidence was found that she received any therapy or diagnostics for mental health medications while at the jail, the lawsuit alleges, despite repeated signs of instability and a history of anxiety, depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
LCSO spokesman Dave Teems said the agency routinely does not comment on pending litigation.
After a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation, Assistant State Attorney Eddie Evans found no grounds for criminal charges in the case.
A few months after Norred's suicide, the jail was renamed the "Leon County Detention Facility" and the Sheriff's Office emphasized new mental health care and other services for inmates. The office said the name change had nothing to do with her death.
During the three months she spent inside the jail, she made more than 300 phone calls to a man who was the subject of a years-long obsession, and who she was accused of stalking, which landed her in the jail in April 2017. She was severely agitated, shouted in extreme distress in her cell and refused to take her antipsychotic Abilify pills.
Health records show a few days after being booked into the jail, Norred said her mental health medication "doesn't work." A month later, her mother, Elizabeth Frederick, and stepfather say, their daughter called them from the jail threatening to kill herself. They immediately reported it to the facility's medical department.
Still, the lawsuit alleges, no evidence was found in health care records that Norred received therapy or adequate treatment. Instead, after her suicide attempt staff used the restraint chair — a controversial tool that isn't a substitute for therapy or medication in a suicide emergency.
Within 40 minutes of being forced into the chair, Norred had a seizure, according to jail notes referenced lawsuit. She also cried and screamed and urinated while restrained after being given only eight breaks and one restroom break during the day-long restraint.
After being released from the chair, Norred was placed under direct observation by Misty Robertson, a mental health clinician employed through Corizon. She noted Norred showed "moderate improvement" but wasn't yet stable.
But later that same day, Robertson cleared her from direct observation anyway and released her to cell No. 19 in Pod M. She was scheduled for a mental health appointment three days later.
No suicide prevention measures were incorporated in Pod M, the lawsuit asserts. The cell offered "numerous" anchor points she could have used to hang herself.
And she did. At 10 a.m., during routine checks, Norred was found hanging in her cell from the bunk bed, her jail uniform pants as a noose. At 10:24 a.m., she was pronounced dead.
The jail didn't follow suicide prevention protocols and didn't receive adequate training to address suicide risks and attempts, the complaint contends, adding that none of the staff involved were disciplined for the failure.
"There is a need for two separate but related protocols in a Jail to prevent self-harm by inmates: a security protocol and a mental health protocol," the complaint says.
The complaint argues there's a shortage of mental health providers at the jail, and medical staff such as Dr. Maria Garcia, who is named in the lawsuit, were aware of Norred's condition and that she wasn't taking her medication.
"For most of her years, Casey Norred held out a strong hope for a normal life," Cook says in the lawsuit.
"But Casey Norred found little mental health support at the Leon County Jail. A cost-saving policy of refusal to provide inmates with actual mental health treatment and therapy and an inappropriate reliance on measures to quiet and restrain rather than treat, left her without treatment at a critical period."

Campus pastors are much more than announcement puppeteers. It pains me every time I hear campus pastors defined as the "announcement pastor." Strategic campus pastors understand that platform time is about inspiration rather than information. Every time you hold the microphone, you have the opportunity to inspire everyone in the room to action. The campus pastor is the primary voice for volunteer engagement at the campus and what you say matters, it doesn't have to fall on deaf ears.
1. Aim for the majority, not the minority.
Without a doubt, you'll be asked to inspire people in your seats to do just about anything and everything. Student Ministry carwash, the ladies bagels and Bible study, the men's ministry football game, and to serve in the nursery. Feeling inspired? Me either. Here is a basic rule I apply when considering if an announcement is inspirational: If it doesn't require 50% or more of the room to make a decision, it doesn't get announced verbally. Our social media outlets have proven to be a great place to make additional announcements that don't meet the above rule.
Most people think they know what you want from them already, more of their money or more of their time, right? What they often don't know is why. The why behind what you are asking people matters more than what you are asking them to do. One way to develop the why is to focus on what you want people to feel about the topic you're addressing. Emotional connection moves people to action, stir the emotion. Spend more time on the why. Start with the why. Why are you supporting the local crisis pregnancy center? Why are you delivering meals on Thanksgiving morning? When people understand the why behind a project or outreach, they are more likely to get involved in some capacity.
3. Don't ask everyone to do everything.
I think it is crucial for platform communicators to recognize the different stages of engagement people are at in their journey with a church. Not everyone is ready or capable of contributing to every opportunity at hand, acknowledge that. I find it helpful to recognize that some people need to receive in certain seasons or that some opportunities are for those who already connected. Identify your target audience clearly and inspire them to action. What do you want them to do? Everyone can't do everything, nor should they. Give people the permission to chose their level of engagement.
Tell a story. If you're inspiring people to get baptized, tell your audience a recent story of how someone went public with their faith. Use humor. Making people laugh creates a memory and emotion they won't forget anytime soon. Don't forget the power of illustrations and images. People are visual and when they can visualize themselves in the picture, their interest and engagement peaks.
I hope this helps you to think critically about how you use your platform time this weekend. I'd love to hear what you do to inspire people to action.

Discover 6 Benefits of Reverse Image Search
4000 Views 7 Mins To Read Category: Images July 13, 2022
In the past few years, technological advancements have truly swamped the entire globe. Especially in the domain of internet search, massive robust technologies are being introduced every other day. Previously, a keyword-based search was the baseline of initiating queries. However, the image search is truly grabbing a considerable sphere over the last few years. The advanced algorithms have truly benefited everyone out there to retrieve accurate and precise results. From finding similar high-resolution images to creating free and worthwhile backlinks, reverse image search is helping a lot of people satisfy their needs. In addition to that, the accuracy of results isn't compromised as well. Keyword-based search queries sometimes come with ambiguity, and the generated results don't match the user's search intent. In this scenario, the photo search is the best option to retrieve accurate results. You'll not be dissatisfied with the final output because it will clearly match your search intent. Therefore, reverse image search is truly a revolutionary technology that has several advantages for everyone. Let's get to know how image search works.
How does Image Search work?
The image search utilizes Artificial intelligence algorithms. They have deployed strong algorithms for fetching accurate and precise results. The reverse image search tool works by fetching similar images against the submitted image. It works by matching similar shapes, color schemes, objects, and other elements. Facial recognition features also power the tool. It not only works by matching the images but the classical way of picture annotation is also integrated for more precise output. Therefore, image search engines are the one-stop-destination for customized results.
Let's get to know about the benefits of reverse image search.
Helps in Finding Out the Origin of an Image
The reverse image search is a great facility for all those who want to dig out the details of an image. The facility works by matching the submitted image with the pictures available in the database and indexed images. You will easily get to know about the source of an image on the go. You won't feel stressed while utilizing the facility because the user interface is simple. There are cases where news is wrongfully attributed to an image. You can get to know about its authenticity by uploading the image to the tool, and it will retrieve the source for letting you know whether the news is true or not. In this regard, no one would deny the fact that an image search engine is the best option to find out the origin of an image on the go.
Image Search Helps You Earn Natural Backlinks
There isn't any doubt that earning natural backlinks requires immense effort. Although several advancements have taken place in the algorithms of Google and other search engines, backlinks are still considered to be a strong indicator to determine the work of a website or a webpage. From blogger outreach to guest posting, everything requires effort and money to get the required results. However, with the assistance of image search, you can earn natural backlinks. These days, the replication of content is common. People may duplicate your images without giving out proper credits. You can upload your most performing images to the tool, and it will retrieve all the sources where similar images have been published. You can ask the webmasters to give you a backlink against the content they have copied.
Helps Reveal Fake Profiles and Posts on Social Media
The reverse image search is a great source for tracking down profiles and posts, which are fake on social media. People these days utilize social media by adopting fake personalities to serve their vested interests. Some of the intent is to spread fake propaganda, while others have an intention to gain financial benefits. All you would need is to download the profile image and upload it to the reverse image search tool to get to know if the profile is fake or not. If the profile is fake, then the utility will fetch all the sources where a similar picture has been published, or you will be able to know that the profile is fake. Therefore, the facility is truly advantageous in every regard for the netizens.
Exploring Products without Proper Labelling
You can also explore the names of products and their vendors with the assistance of reverse image search. Millennials and Gen Z are fond of generating search queries with the help of images. They don't feel comfortable initiating search queries with the assistance of keywords. There are also cases where the user is not aware of the exact search term that can be utilized for fetching similar images to know the name of the product or the details about the seller. The picture search can help in this regard by letting them know about the product name and other details. For that reason, the tool could be highly beneficial for people who want to make a purchase online from e-commerce stores.
Checking the Real Names of Celebrities & Things
Last but not least, a picture search is a great source for knowing the names of celebrities and things. You can use the photo search tool to know the names of celebrities. For example, there are models and other social media celebrities, but you are not aware of their names and other details. The image search facility can help you to know their names. There also might be the case that comes across a picture of the model on a billboard and is not aware of the name. You can capture the snap and upload it to the tool; it will fetch all the details about the celebrity and their name. In addition to that, you might also not be aware of the name of a thing, and you can get to know by uploading the snap to the tool, and it will answer your search queries. The best part of this tool is how vague your search query is, but the tool will fetch the results you are looking for.
The reverse image search is truly one of the best sources for everyone out there to find high-resolution images, track fake profiles and posts, explore products without proper labeling, earn natural backlinks and know the names of celebrities and things. Therefore, no one would ever deny the fact that image search will dominate in the coming years. A recent survey also indicated that picture search had grabbed 30% of internet search, and the graph is in an upward direction, which means their share will likely be increased in the coming years. Along with that, Pinterest has also revealed that more than 600 million searches take place on their platform, which is image-based.
Moreover, the advanced algorithms have also contributed a lot to the usage of this facility. The deployment of artificial intelligence-based algorithms has made it possible to retrieve accurate and precise results. The reliability of the final output is the baseline behind the immense popularity of this facility. Therefore, using this tool will be beneficial in every regard. You can make the most out of this tool. The facility is also a great source for marketers and entrepreneurs as they can fetch multiple benefits from it.

Putting genome data into the public domain advances science, but nearly all of it can be linked to someone.
Last week European scientists were shamed into cutting off public access to a genome sequence. As far as I know, it's the first instance of a genome pulled from the public record.
It's also a bad precedent.
The case involves a line of cervical cancer cells, known as HeLa. As told in the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, a bestseller by reporter Rebecca Skloot, the HeLa cell line came from the body of Henrietta Lacks, a poor African-American tobacco farmer. The cells were collected without Lacks's knowledge, and later researchers did even more dodgy research involving her children.
Lacks died of her cancer in 1951, but HeLa went on to become a big deal in science. In fact, it is the "most widely used model cell line" for studying human biology. That's according to some German researchers who, on March 11, decided to expand that knowledge by publishing the HeLa genome.
The publication set off a tizzy of criticism online, tracked here by researcher Jonathan Eisen. Although no law required the Germans to ask permission from Lacks's family, it seemed in very poor taste not to have done so, especially given the notoriety of the case. Eventually Skloot, whose book is being made into a movie by Oprah Winfrey and HBO, got involved. She briefed the Lacks family and conveyed their concerns to the scientists, who then agreed to put a block on the data.
Private information? Whatever the past injustices the Lackses have suffered, that's just entirely wrong. There is no law here or in Germany (that I know of) that lets anyone put a claim on the DNA information of another person.
I could see the argument for that. But letting family members lay such a claim doesn't make sense. It would mean you'd have to ask your mother, or your uncle, before you disclose your own DNA data. And what about long-gone ancestors? Light a candle and ask them, too.
The HeLa situation also muddles the difference between consent and privacy. But in fact, the muddle is all too real. Consent—the kind never obtained from Lacks—is an explicit agreement to participate in research, usually anonymously. Recently, it's become popular to show just how worthless those promises of anonymity are when it comes to genome research.
And so it's not just the HeLa genome that's at risk. It's every genome where a promise of anonymity was given. Right now, you or I could start trolling some of the world's most famous, foundational research and connect the dots to subjects and their family members.
Part of what bothers me about this situation is that we've seen similar kerfuffles over old Indian bones and bio-prospecting in the Amazon. The outcome in both instances has been laws that restrict science for unscientific reasons. These stories always begin the same way: some researcher in yellowing photographs who didn't tell anyone why he wanted those cells, seeds, or funerary urns. But later, someone conversant in both science and local causes of aggrievement (say, superstitious beliefs) puts two and two together and … I gotcha!
It's true the HeLa genome could tell you something intimate about Lacks and, thus, her descendants. From the voluminous genetic data about HeLa already online, it can be determined that Lacks had recent African ancestors. You could also probably figure out if Lacks had, say, some disease susceptibility gene, which her granddaughter would then have a 25 percent chance of sharing, too.
Many of the first people to have their DNA decoded, like scientist J. Craig Venter, purposefully made their genomes public. They wanted to dispel unreasonable anxieties. The genome is nothing to fear. More public data is good for society.
Now, by asserting a privacy right that doesn't exist, and getting the genome taken down, I think Skloot and the Lackses are paddling in the opposite direction.
What's your opinion? Tell me in the comments below. If you want to show solidarity with the Lacks family, there's also a foundation that raises money via PayPal to pay for their unmet needs, like medical and school bills.

Life in Russia and life in the USSR
by Alexey | Mar 27, 2015 | Russian Traits | 0 comments
It is important to note that the services of public transport were well-developed in the USSR as well as they are in Russia today. Actually, this means that people can get anywhere by public transport: either it is an office or a country cottage.
In the USSR, the travel cost was fixed and made a small share of a salary.
In Russia, many people try to find a job near their home since the salary does not allow them to use public transport very often.

Durable goods availability
If the situation with accommodations and salaries for ordinary Russians is rather unfortunate, the level of durable goods availability has substantially improved.
First of all, it is referred to consumer devices such as TVs, refrigerators, washing machines. The range of household goods has significantly increased and the variety is as good as in other countries.
Certainly the durable goods in modern Russia are not evenly distributed. For example, one family can have three or five TVs in one apartment, and another family has only one twenty-year old device.
Now people buy more cars than in the USSR. Back then, people had to get in the line for the car at first, they couldn't buy a car at once.
The only problem now is that not all people can afford to buy a cheap car even on credit.
Judging by the number of sold cars, the auto market in Russia is one of the largest in Europe.
However, as stated above, the development of public transport, the emergence of taxi providers and goods transportation services turn a car ownership rather into a matter of prestige or an inconvenient burden, than into necessity.

In general, the worthy standard of living was not a problem in the USSR. One has only to think about films, fully reflecting the spirit of that period. We see that people's everyday thoughts were all about holiday adventures, making acquaintances and love relations in the family, creation of something new, co-workers' problems and so on.
In the USSR, some of the goods were in "deficiency", for instance, such goods as smoked sausage, especially from abroad, a good suit or dress or designer shoes. The car was a sign not even of luxury but also of special communications. It was not easy to get a "coupon" for a car. Nevertheless, people had money. Surely, by a long stretch of imagination all deficient goods could be bought but off-the-record and of higher price. This action stipulated a criminal penalty.
Due to the deficiency in terms of modern money some goods like oranges and melons were enormously expensive. TVs and cars were among such goods too. However, the same situation was all around the world – certain goods were much more expensive in terms of modern money than they are today, in the globalization era.
Thus, usual goods were not in deficiency at all. But the Soviet people did not want usual things; they wanted to differ from others…
It is of interest to trace how the values have changed. Today Russians, as well as Americans, do not want to differ, they want to "correspond" to a certain consumption level – to have a car that is not worse than others have, to spend holidays like others, to have a house or apartment not smaller than others have and so on.
Naturally, in the USSR it was impossible to add chemical additives to foodstuff: people cared about health but not of profit. Product ingredients were seriously regulated.
The photos of empty shelves in the shops, which are widely spread all over the world as a symbol of the USSR, are not true. Empty shelves appeared only in the time of the USSR break up during Gorbachev's presidency. There is no need to think that such state of things was all the time. One has only to think about "Life" magazine photos of that time: Soviet people were happy, self-assured in life and in peace. Later, propaganda in many countries changed the ordinary people's attitude towards the Soviet life.
Now the variety of goods and services is almost infinite. However, the ratio "price/quality" still lags from many developing and developed countries.
A great virtue of modern Russia is that there is a large amount of natural foodstuff (without any additives) at a rather low price.

In the time of the USSR people were provided with a huge number of free services. There was a lot of hobby groups for children, including music schools. The development of talented children was stimulated. For example, children musical bands and their tours over the USSR and other countries were financed by the state. Citizens could free of charge or nearly free (negligible cost in comparison with a living wage) visit sports venues, swimming pools, theatres, museums and exhibitions. Public lectures with the most famous people were held in big cities. And all these things were for free! Many factories owned different objects of social infrastructure, such as health resorts, sanatoriums, holiday camps for workers children, including constructions of such objects in resort regions of the USSR, for instance, in the Crimea or Krasnodar Territory. Employees of factories had no problem of getting tickets there. Now in Russia there are practically no free services for citizens. Only certain categories of citizens like officials or important state companies' employees (from oil and gas sphere) can have access to them.

Grand Rapids First Nation
Located in central Manitoba, is an Ojibway Kasba Reservation community known as Grand Rapids. Below are links to google earth photos of this Ojibway community. According to 2016's census, Grand Rapids First Nation population is 868. They have 234 dwellings with 225 lived in. Average houseold size is 3.9 persons per household. Around 205 speak Corrupted Ojibway Language. Lewis and Clark called Cree Language Corrupted Ojibway Language. Below is an excerpt from text from 1875's Treaty 5. What you must understand and not be fooled by, is information regarding Saskatchewan Rivers mouth. It's located where Grand Rapids is. It clearly tells you it was Saulteaux Ojibway's who signed that treaty. However, Indians living at Grand Rapids think their Cree. They are being fooled by whites. We know better however. Why? We have proof. That's where whites are fooling you. When you read Treaty 5's excerpt text below (it is in green text color), remember that Saskatchewan Rivers mouth is located at Grand Rapids. They, them whites, are liars. Ojibway leaders would never accept land allotments as being their Reserves. They knew better. Those whites lied. In Ojibway, Saskatchewan means little (sas or sis - a diminutive), great (kat-che or kit-chi) and branch (waan). Translated, it means "Little Great Branch." Great was used to identify Saskatchewan River which is also known as North Saskatchewan River. Usually in Ojibway, they'd place diminutives at end's of words to place a diminutive at. However, in this case both "great and little" are used. It refers to North Saskatchewan River and South Saskatchewan River or it's branches. Thus, Sas-kat-che-wan-o Sip-pi or Little Great Branch River or Little and Great Branch River. Notice "Sas-kat-che-wan-o Sip-pi" has music to it? If it's a locative, it's pronounced "Sas-kat-che-wan-o Sip-pi-eg." It means "Little and Great Branch River Place." They write it as "Sas-kat-che-wan-o Sip-pi-ing." It (South Saskatchewan Rivers Mouth) is located 14.4 miles or 23.2 kilometers northeast of Muskoday First Nation and 7.8 miles or 12.6 kilometers northwest of James Smith First Nation. For some reason, whites use an "n" for Ojibway locatives. They have also used "Combinations" in writing Ojibway. You definitely noticed "Misipawistik! It's two words. It should be writen as "Misi Pawistik." Saskatchewan should be written "Sas Katche Waan." It means "Little and Great Branch." From investigating, it is mandatory in Ojibway Language, to place a vowel after a word ending with a consonant. They noticed it had music to it. If an Ojibway word ends with a vowel, it's not necessary. Chief Kinistin led many Ojibway People from Misipawistik region north, northwest and west. Many settled at Montreal Lake and Lac la Ronge including Peter Ballantyne.
