Periscope is Twitter’s live streaming video platform and the two are intimately entwined. If you’re not connecting with your viewers on Twitter you’re missing out!

If you're not active on Twitter you're only half on Periscope.

Periscope is Twitter is Periscope

Here are some of the ways in which Twitter complements and integrates with Periscope:

  • All Periscope broadcasts are announced on Twitter when they begin
  • A pulsating red “Live on Periscope” notice is present in your Twitter Profile while you are live streaming
  • Your Twitter followers can turn on Live Video Notifications to be alerted on Twitter whenever you go live on Periscope
  • Viewers can easily share broadcast publicly on Twitter from within Periscope while watching
  • Your past broadcasts can be discovered through Twitter Search

Create a Periscope Twitter List of Live Streamers

Twitter Lists can be a great way of creating ‘channels’ for viewing particular types of content on Periscope. For example, I’ve created an Aussie Live Streamers Twitter list that is useful for viewing Periscope broadcasts from Australia.

You could even create a Twitter List of all you regular viewers so that you can dip into that list from time to time to connect with them outside of your broadcasts.

As a Periscope broadcaster, a large part of your audience is already active on Twitter. Are you there connecting with them?

fireman's hose split into three outletsTwitter can be difficult to consume if you follow more than a handful of people. Instead of trying to sip from Twitter’s mighty firehose, you can enjoy the different flavours from several different taps, using Twitter lists.

Curate content with Twitter lists

It’s impossible to read every tweet from everyone that you follow on Twitter. We can use Twitter lists to filter content by topic. For example, I’ve created lists for Australia News, World News. free music, South Australian wineries, Adelaide Pubs, and many more.

Create a Twitter list for an event

If you know of an event coming up build a Twitter list before the event. The list can be made private for you own use or it can be made public and you can promote it and encourage others to use it during the event.

Be aware that when building a public list each person added will be notified, but accounts added to a private list will not be notified.

Use this to your advantage.

Innovative SaaS Help Desk Software Gave Sam the Ability to Manage Multiple Business

multi business help desk software
After years of working for a software development group, Sam set his career sights on more independent opportunities. His broad range of technical and business abilities afforded him many opportunities,
but with limited time in the day he chose three business avenues. Within the process of acclimating himself to his new multi-business path, Sam encountered some challenges. This is the story of how an innovative SaaS help desk software gave Sam the ability to manage multiple businesses, and overcome his customer service and organizational challenges.

Sam’s Three Businesses

Creating the three businesses wasn’t difficult, as they naturally were formed even while he was working for the software development group. Yet, now he was intent on solidifying these with website optimization and brand marketing strategies. Basically, he developed websites with an integrated social media marketing campaign.

His first business was a consulting business for startups dealing with finding financing, the second business was freelance writing for tech publications, and the third was an ecommerce store selling skateboards. Sam made the skateboards himself from his work shop in the garage, and this hobby was what led him away from software development.

All three of these businesses were healthy and growing with clients, yet the consulting and freelance writing were the main sources of his income. He wanted to get to the point of solely working his skateboard business, but was content working all three businesses until that could financially happen.

The Problem Sam Had

Sam was getting a healthy amount of work from these businesses, but he realized early on there was a big problem emerging. This problem was an organizational problem, which was serious because it was taking away the time he wanted to spend making skateboards. In fact, after about 6 months of working these businesses, Sam was spending at least half his time dealing with customer support issues!

Although Sam was multi-talented, customer service and organizational ability wasn’t his strength. He realized this was a problem that required special attention, after a couple high-profile clients stopped working with him when he accidentally ignored some key requests. In fact, the email tickets, phone calls, and social media messages were overwhelming Sam on a daily basis. All three businesses were beginning to suffer.

This problem was very discouraging to Sam, because he knew his work was quality. It was simply that his customer service and organizational ability was severely lacking.

How Sam Found the Solution

Sam did some researching online trying to find a customer service solution. See, website optimization wasn’t his specialty in the software development group he used to work for. He found some promising software solutions, but was unsure which one would work for his multi-business needs. He was still in contact with a friend at the development group and finally gave him a call.

This friend was a managing partner in the group, and was excited to hear the question Sam posed about finding a multi-business customer support solution. He explained the group had started using an innovative software solution called Vision Helpdesk, for many of their clients and for the development group themselves.

Sam was amazed and interested at what he heard from his friend. He then started to investigate this service online. Before lunch the next day he was already signed up for a free 30-day trial offer! He signed up specifically for their Satellite Help Desk SaaS service, which was designed to handle customer service for multi-businesses!

He was amazed at the features and centralized organizational ability he gained so quickly. Each business now had its’ own knowledge-base, self-help landing page, and he was able to manage all email, social media, phone, and chat conversations in a central dashboard location. Every ticket was labeled accordingly to its’ source and time, while priority tickets were shown with customized automation controls.

The Resulting Months

After Sam integrated Vision Helpdesk’s Satellite Desk service into his three businesses, his customer service and organizational ability went from a liability to a selling point. His customers were able to access self-help landing pages on his websites now, which reduced tickets dramatically. This alone was a major help in streamlining Sam’s workflow processes.

The first couple months were exciting, as Sam was able to save time and create better customer satisfaction. The glowing comments and feedback from old and new customers was a confirmation that he’d found his customer service solution at last. The time he was able to save trying to haphazardly manage his customers’ needs, he was now able to use doing the things he loved: building awesome skateboards!

One of the most amazing parts was after the free trial, Vision Helpdesk was so affordable he couldn’t get over it. To show his gratitude, he began to become one of their biggest advocates in his startup consulting business. In the span of a year, he referred dozens of startups to Vision Helpdesk.

Although Sam was a talented and tech savvy business owner, he had room to grow in customer service and organizational skills. With the help of Vision Helpdesk, he was able to find a solution that saved time, increases customer satisfaction, and brought more profit into his businesses. Working smarter and not harder, was the theme in this situation.

Sam is still working his three businesses, yet the skateboard ecommerce shop is growing in popularity every year. While traveling around the world to skateboarding events, Sam is now able to stay on top of his customer support tickets through the cloud-based Satellite Desk service. Sometimes this means using a mobile device in a country far away, to answer a small question or request from clients.

Maybe Vision Helpdesk can help solve the customer service and organizational issues your business has? You’re welcome to give our service a try with a free 30-day trial offer. If interested in learning more, please contact us today.

Cambodia Travel Guide

Cambodia has had a troubled past and it still remains fairly fresh in the memory. The Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot were an awful regime and many atrocities were committed during their rule. The result was that Cambodia’s entry into the mass tourist market is a fairly recent phenomenon. The warm welcome that the locals provide is clear evidence that they are happy to see you and this Cambodia Travel Guide will provide you with some detailed information of what you can expect within the Country.

Cambodia was colonized by the French and though independent from 1953 it suffered under Pol Pot so that by the time the Regime was over there was virtually no infrastructure in the Country, and that was still the case about 20 years ago. It has taken time to rebuild Cambodia; it is still a poor country but it has many riches; temples, forests and beaches as well as the cuisine which has influences from neighboring countries mixed with local ideas.

When Is the Best Time to Visit?
It is fairly warm in Cambodia for all twelve months a year; it rarely goes below 20C at any time with an average of 27C; effectively tropical.

The difference comes between dry and rainy season. The majority of tourists on a Cambodia holiday come during the dry season between November and March but the positive side of visiting from April onwards is that there are fewer crowds and often that means lower prices. It should be remembered that although it is likely to rain each day that can merely be a brief afternoon shower which will not affect travel plans. Locally it also goes by the name of ‘’green season’’ because the countryside certainly changes after the period of hot dry days. If you want to avoid the rains but worry about the heat it is slightly cooler in the weeks at the end of the rains than later in the period.

Customs Regulations
There are the usual duty free allowances of alcohol, tobacco and perfume and goods up to a certain value when departing.

Weaponry of any sort is prohibited as is the important of animals without the correct documentation. You can carry prescription drugs and it is often advisable if you need them because you may not find them locally. However any recreational drugs will be definitely frowned upon.

Anyone carrying in excess of US$10,000 on arrival or departure must declare that fact.

Khmer is the local language which has developed from other regional languages like Sangkrit from India and Thai dialects. Some technical language is even developed from French. You can expect some English in tourist hotels and in business situations.

There will often be signs that are also in English and on occasions you will see Chinese as well.

English is now taught in schools while some older Cambodians are likely to have a little French.

The local currency is the Riel and the exchange rate is around 4.000 to the US $.  Although if slightly damaged it is still acceptable currency, similarly damaged $ bills may not be accepted. Riel notes range from 50 right up to 100,000 and visitors on Cambodia travel throughout the country are likely to find the 500 note most useful. Incidentally some places will accept US $ or Thai Baht.

Each of the provincial capitals have banks where those on Cambodia tours can exchange money or use their credit and debit cards to make withdrawals. Travelers’ checks can be changed into local currency and small denomination notes and checks are certainly the most useful as you travel around. Several banks have ATMs.

There are money changers who may offer a slightly better rate than those banks and it will be clearly evident when they are around.

Credit cards are widely used in cities with a charge of between 2-4% for their use.

cambodia travel guide

You can try to do a deal for most things from accommodation to restaurants and food stalls within limits. Take care because Cambodians do not like to lose face and they may react very badly if it appears to them that they are doing so. It is therefore important to be considerate and not challenge listed prices, including menus, because they will not be negotiable.

It is likely that those on a Cambodia holiday will find they are charged more than locals for food but it is rare locals and tourists will be eating in the same place.

The temples of Angkor are worth mentioning. Never pay the first price asked for anything; books, paintings and even water and food.

Tuk-tuk drivers are fairly honest if they are local to where you are staying. Agree the price first and you will avoid any problems later.

If you don’t like haggling then after picking an item up, put it back and start to walk away. You’re likely to get a reduction without actually opening your mouth; if you get a lower offer immediately then a second one, that second one is likely to be the final price.

It is worth remembering how little the average Cambodian earns before getting upset by a few dollars.

Banks open at 0800 and close at 1500, some at 1600 but are mostly closed at the weekend; there are exceptions with some Saturday morning trading until 1130.

Post Offices in cities open at 0730 and remain open until 1700, Monday to Friday while they will open until 1100 on Saturdays.

Shops work long hours, especially in cities and tourist areas while there are many night markets.

Public Holidays
In Cambodia, a Buddhist country, religion and their royalty are important and that is reflected in the public holidays in the calendar year. There is a long list of national and public holidays in Cambodia though not everyone observes the whole number of them:

•    January 1st New Year’s Day
•    January 7th is Victory over Genocide Day and marks the day in 1979 when the Khmer Rouge regime fell.
•    Meak Bochea Day varies with the lunar calendar but is towards the end of February.
•    8th March International Women’s Day
•    13th – 16th April Cambodian New Year
•    1st May International Labor Day
•    13th – 15th May King’s Birthday and Holiday - Norodom Sihamoni
•    20th May Visak Bochea Day (birth of Buddha)
•    24th May Royal Ploughing Ceremony
•    1st June Children’s Day
•    18th June Queen Mother’s Birthday- Norodom Monineath Sihanouk
•    24th September Constitutional Day which commemorates the signing of the Constitution in 1993.
•    30th September to 2nd October Ancestor’s Day and Holiday remember deceased relatives. This varies with the lunar calendar.
•    15TH October King’s Father’s Day - Norodom Sihanouk who died in 2012.
•    23rd October Paris Peace Agreements Day (1991)
•    29th October King’s Coronation Day
•    9th November Independence Day (1953)
•    13th – 15th November Water Festival Ceremony, a boat racing festival marking the time when the Mekong and Tonie Sap Rivers changes.
•    10th December International Human Rights Day.

Where the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday it is likely to be observed on the Monday.

The vast majority of nationalities need to buy a visa to gain entry to Cambodia. A tourist visa lasts for 30 days and can be extended just a single time for a maximum of 2 months; an ordinary/business visa offers more flexibility and can be extended to up to a year, even more, and allows for multiple entry and exit. They are available from consulates and at several points of entry on arrival. Those flying into Cambodia will get a form on the plane for completion. Once submitted you wait for your name to be called after which you get your passport back having already paid the appropriate fee.

E visas are now available and although a little more expensive it will save you time on entry which you may appreciate if you have had a long and tiring journey.

You are likely to be fined on departure if you overstay your visa but if you are stopped by authorities elsewhere with a visa that has expired there is a chance that you will be blacklisted for re-entry in the future and the following few hours may actually involve your being locked up.

Dos and Don’ts
Always observe local customs out of respect for the people who happily welcome tourists. There are a few things to remember while traveling round this beautiful country:

•   Ask for permission before you photograph people, especially in rural situations.
Be ready with insect repellant to counter mosquitoes. There are no mandatory vaccinations but it is worth those contemplating a Cambodia holiday to consider getting some as well as bringing medication with them because it may not be available everywhere.
•   Take your shoes off when entering religious sites, temples and pagodas.
•   Bare skin is frowned on in such sites; avoid shorts, cover shoulders and remove hats.
Remove shoes when you go into someone’s home and bring a little gift if you are invited to dine; flowers or fruit are fine.
Give a gift of cash if you attend a Cambodian wedding.
Use both hands to give and receive.
Bow forward slightly with both hands together (as in prayer) if you are introduced to someone. It is fairly formal and not always expected; use your common sense.

•   Point with your feet which are regarded as the dirtiest part of the body
•   Touch anyone’s head; that is the most important part of the body and highly personal.
•   Start eating before your host in any circumstances.
•   Touch monks or give them something if you are a woman.
•   Be over affectionate in public.
•   Drink tap water but certainly consume plenty of bottled water because you will feel thirsty fairly regularly.

cambodia travel packages

Cambodia is a fairly safe country though there are places late at night to avoid, but then that is the case anywhere in the world. There are pickpockets and bag snatching, often from motorcycles so be careful. If you do not need some of your valuables with you then keep them in a safety deposit box. You need to be aware that duplicate keys may exist so you should question reception in your accommodation if you have any doubts. It is worth photocopying everything as well.

There is a level of corruption within the police and often you may need to bribe someone for help. Police do not have any great presence after sundown in tourist areas anyway. If you are sensible you will avoid trouble and therefore have no need of them.

It is all a matter of common sense and reading the Cambodia Travel Guide to learn more about the Country.

There are scams relating to border crossings and the cost of visas that are worth bearing in mind. In all cases people looking forward to a Cambodia holiday needs to keep calm. If you are able to provide US dollars rather than local currency then it is more difficult for scammers to overcharge you. The dollar price will be advertised on signs so you should not be caught out

On good Cambodia tours you are not likely to come across this problem. Nor will you require any assistance from anyone around the border area because you will have a guide accompanying you who will help with all formalities.

Traveling to a country like Cambodia is a unique experience. Indo China is a truly exotic part of the world and it is worth doing plenty of research before you arrive. The Cambodia Travel Guide is an excellent starting point because it will prepare you for the visit and teach you how to behave in many of the situations you may find yourself in.

Cities have some similarities throughout the world and common sense should tell you how to react to things that happen, day and night. It is important to recognize that the average Cambodian lives on an amount of money that is totally unrealistic in developed countries. It can be fun to haggle but at other times it can be interpreted as sheer meanness.

Story of Tam and Cam

Every country has its stories and if you are on aVietnam travel, there is one that resembles that of Cinderella, at least the first part and the happy ending. Vietnam travel packages reveal a very interesting country and plenty of legends to enjoy. Talk to a Vietnam travel agent and you will certainly find out more if you wish.

story of tam and cam

Many years ago, a widower lived with his daughter, Tam, when he met and married again. He was not to know that the woman he married was truly wicked. They had a daughter together whom they named Cam. The wife adored Cam but treated Tam badly, not being one of her own. Tam’s poor treatment began immediately her father remarried; she was not allowed to join a celebration banquet and was sent to bed early, and hungry. That was before Cam was born and then things got even worse. Tam’s father believed the lies his wife told him about Tam who was banished to the kitchen and told to look after herself.

She was forced to work very hard getting many menial tasks around the house. Her hands became blistered and her hair dirty and matted. One day, she looked at her image and saw how she looked. Washing her face, she looked very pretty and her step-mother realised it too, wishing even more that an accident might befall her.

Tam was sent out fishing with her step-sister who spent the day playing while Tam worked hard, catching a basketful of fish. Cam’s basket was empty but she stole Tam’s fish as she bathed in the water. Tam knew she would be beaten when she returned with an empty basket. However, the Goddess of Mercy appeared in front of her and noticed she was crying. After hearing her story, the Goddess suggested she look again in her basket where she saw a red finned fish with golden eyes. The Goddess said Tam should put the fish in the well and feed it three times a day which she duly did.

Her step-mother noticed strange behaviour in Tam but the fish never appeared when anyone else was there. However, the step-mother disguised herself in Tam’s clothes, caught the fish, killed it and ate it. The Goddess reappeared and told Tam to find the bones, bury them then a wish would be granted. She couldn’t find the bones by a chicken said she would show Tam where they were in exchange for some rice. She took the bones and buried them as instructed. Soon, she was to get jewellery, gold and dresses and was indeed a very happy girl.

When the Autumn Festival came around, she was told to stay at home and finish her work while Cam and her mother went out in their best clothes. She prayed to the Goddess for help and she made sure that her work was finished quickly so she could go to the Festival. She dressed up and went. When Cam saw her, she said to her mother that the rich lady looked like Tam; indeed, it was. Tam ran, scared she had been recognised but in her haste left a silver slipper. Soldiers picked it up and gave it to the King. The King asked every lady to try it on but it was so small, no one could get it on. The King announced that when he found the person whose slipper it was, he would make her his wife.

Tam was the last woman to try it on; it fitted and she became Queen. Cam and her step-mother were very unhappy but could do nothing about it. Tam returned home on an anniversary and following custom had to climb a tree to get nuts when requested to by her step-mother. The tree began to sway violently when she was up there because her step-mother was trying to cut it down. It crashed to the ground and Tam was killed. As she had hoped, Cam then became Queen while Tam’s spirit lived as a nightingale in the royal garden. The King was moved to tears by the nightingale’s singing and he invited it on to his sleeve. The King got a golden cage which he put in his bedroom with the bird inside. Cam became jealous of the bird who received so much attention. She killed and cooked it, throwing the feathers into the garden. Cam told the King that the nightingale had probably become bored and flown away.

Tam’s spirit however returned as a magnificent tree which bore a single golden fruit with a lovely smell. An old woman passed by and said she would keep the fruit for its smell and never eat it; the fruit dropped down into the old woman’s bag. The next day, the old woman returned home to find a tidy house and a meal on the table; magic. The next day, the old woman hid and saw a young lady come out of the fruit to start work. The old lady rushed to tear up the peel of the fruit so that the young lady couldn’t go back.  She stayed in the forest and regarded the old lady as her mother.

The King got lost in the forest one day and came across the old woman’s cottage as darkness drew in. He was offered shelter and food. He recognised it as food that Tam used to make him when she was Queen. When Tam was called the King recognised her immediately. She was restored to her position while Cam was largely ignored. When Cam sought advice about how to become whiter and more beautiful to attract the King’s attention again, Tam said the answer was to immerse herself in boiling water which she did, and died as a result. Cam’s mother wept until she was blind and died of a broken heart. Tam lived happily ever after.

Talking of happy; you will fly home after travel in Vietnam with a smile on your face and plenty of happy memories.

Ofcom warns of false news about coronavirus in recent study

A survey by the British communications regulator, Ofcom, helps to highlight the dangers posed by misinformation that is now spreading online. Many oOnline sources have raised concerns for self-isolated Internet users – due to the significant increase in both the amount of fake news related to coronaviruses currently circulating and the increase in scams aimed at taking advantage of vulnerable and concerned citizens. We review Ofcom’s results and give you some tips for staying safe online while locked out.

Fake news about coronaviruses sweeps across the UK

The British regulator, Ofcom, has published a report which indicates that the general public is ill-informed about the coronavirus. According to the UK regulator, British citizens have been exposed to false information about Covid-19 which could potentially cause confusion and harm.

Following an investigation by the regulator over the past two weeks, Ofcom has released a report that half of British adults are currently ill-informed about various aspects of the deadly virus.

Among those surveyed, 35% believed that the online information that drinking more water could eliminate the infection. 24% of the British public had seen false information about the gargling of salt water to help fight the virus. In addition, 24% of UK citizens had come across online reports that avoiding cold food could help prevent catching the virus.

Having trouble saying what’s wrong and what’s not? You are not alone, because more than half of 18-24 year olds fight against disinformation

These statistics reveal the viral way in which false information about Covid-19 is currently spread online and remind that all concerned citizens should be extremely careful about where they get advice. The best advice? Only seek medical information and advice from official government sources and through official channels providing legitimate and good medical advice.

Ofcom’s survey reveals good news is limited. About 55% of Britons claim that they deliberately ignore false information during online tours. Of these people, about 15% turn to fact-checking sources, such as the BBC website, to verify the claims they see. Another 14% turn to family and friends to verify any false claims.

However, 52% of citizens aged 18 to 24 admitted to having a hard time differentiating false advice from real news on the virus. This reminds us that citizens who use the Internet to search for information as their primary source should be careful to recheck any information they read online or that is passed on to them by friends or family.

Coronavirus scams on the rise

In addition to false information and advice regarding Covid-19, British police are warning that online scams have exploded 400% due to the virus. According to authorities, there has been a dramatic increase in targeted phishing emails and text messages that use Covid-19 as a means to induce victims to part with their sensitive personal information.

One of these scams involves a HMRC text message offering a one-time crisis payment to help cope with the loss of income caused by self-isolation. This SMS phishing campaign is designed to entice people to give their financial information to fraudsters, who will then use that information to debit their accounts.

Another fraudulent text which seems to come from the government asks the beneficiary to pay a fine of £ 35 after being caught leaving the house 3 times. This scam is, once again, designed to get victims of their payment information – allowing the scammer to defraud the card.

In addition, cybersecurity experts warn that there has been an explosion of fake websites claiming to sell personal protective equipment such as masks and gloves. These websites appear to be selling real protective gear, but in reality, they are shell websites owned by criminals. These phishing websites are designed to mislead people about both their personally identifiable information and their financial data.

How to avoid coronavirus scams?

The British government has publicly stated to all British citizens that it will not contact them to ask for their financial information, even if they expect to receive an allowance call.

Do not give out your financial information or click on suspicious links, and only stick to official websites

All Internet users must remain vigilant to ensure that they are not the victims of a fraudulent website, email, phone call or SMS. Any unsolicited message that arrives in your inbox should be treated with extreme caution. If the message asks you to provide personal information, it’s an obvious warning sign – and if it takes advantage of your emotions to try to make you act quickly, it should sound instantly.

If a message or an email contains links, it is better to ignore them. They could redirect you to a malicious website that would make you infected with malware. And, if you see an agreement that sounds too good to be true, it’s likely that you received an advertisement for a fake agreement or came across a fake website advertising products that don’t actually exist.

The best thing you can do is stick to the official website portals for recognized retail outlets only, as this will assure you that you will not be a victim of the multitude of online scams that are circulating today. If you come across a website that worries you, you can use our Covid-19 scam website verification tool to see if the website has ever been reported as malicious.

If history has taught us anything, it’s that things can always get worse, even when that seems impossible — as it does right now in Venezuela.

Indeed, in the span of a few months, the International Monetary Fund has gone from forecasting that Venezuela’s inflation rate would hit 12,875 percent by the end of the year to now saying that it will get to 1 million percent. Now, this isn’t the type of prediction you should take literally — the IMF says it’s more a “signal that the situation in Venezuela is similar to that in Germany in 1923 or Zimbabwe in the late 2000s.” Instead, as we said, it’s a reminder that even a failed state such as Venezuela can still fail some more. Which it almost certainly will.

How has Venezuela gotten to this point, though, where we’re debating whether its inflation rate is about to reach either “only” five figures or seven? Well, the Chavista regime’s spending plans have been so extravagant, and its management of its state-owned oil company so inept, that it hasn’t had enough petrodollars to pay its bills even when oil was $100 a barrel — so it really doesn’t now that the shale revolution has sent crude prices down so much. Which is to say that it’s always had to print a little money, but now it has to print a lot. The result has been a downward spiral that has sent prices on an ever-faster upward trajectory, to the point that, going by black-market rates, Venezuela’s currency has lost 99.9997 percent of its value in the past 6½ years. To put that in perspective, $333,333 worth of bolivars in 2012 would be worth $1 today.

And nobody knows how much worse this is going to get. That, at least, is what Johns Hopkins professor Steve Hanke, one of the world’s foremost experts on hyperinflation, told me. “You cannot forecast the course and duration of hyperinflations,” he said, and it’s “irresponsible” for the IMF to even try. That’s because hyperinflation is more a political phenomenon than an economic one, to the extent that it’s about governments choosing to continue to print money even after it has started to kill their currencies, so it can last a lot longer than you’d think.

Part of the problem is that this kind of self-destructive behavior by the government isn’t always self-destructive for the government. In fact, the opposite. Regimes that are going through hyperinflation, you see, will often try to deny that it’s happening by setting an official exchange rate that says it’s not, an exchange rate to which only party leaders and their corporate cronies have access.

Practically speaking, that means they can get dollars for just pennies on the dollar, if even that. In Venezuela, Hanke estimates, you can make a 2,092 percent profit doing this in a single day — and that’s after they just got rid of the super sweetheart deal insiders used to be able to get. This is one way, Hanke told me, that “the regime is able to keep their chosen group around them.”

But like all unsustainable things, hyperinflation eventually comes to an end. What makes that happen? Well, in cases where the government doesn’t belatedly do so itself, there are two things that can force its hand. The first is what Hanke called the “physical constraint on redenomination,” which is just another way of saying that it can’t print money fast enough. That might sound like something out of “The Onion” — Area Central Banker Ends Hyperinflation by Trying to Print More Money — but it’s a pretty good description of what happened in Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Back then, Serb strongman Slobodan Milosevic had tried to pay for all his wars by setting off what is still the third-worst hyperinflation in history, until his mint simply hit full capacity. So he had no choice but to stop. This is obviously an extreme example, but a similar situation is already underway in Venezuela. The difference is that it doesn’t print its money itself but, rather, imports it from a specialized dealer — when, that is, it can afford to. It’s having trouble doing that, though. Venezuela, in other words, barely has enough dollars that are worth something to create bolivars that aren’t.

The second way a hyperinflation stops is when people stop accepting the currency en masse. This isn’t coordinated in any way but is just a matter of people quite reasonably not wanting to hold their money in a currency that is appreciably dwindling in value on a monthly, weekly or even daily basis. It’s what’s known as spontaneous dollarization, because that’s what everyone starts doing business in instead, and it’s what brought Zimbabwe’s hyperinflation, the second worst on record, to an abrupt halt nearly a decade ago. “The citizens just went on strike,” Hanke told me, “and refused to get paid in Zimbabwean dollars" so that the government had no reason to keep printing them — and so it didn’t. This, again, is something we’re starting to see in Venezuela. “I can’t think in bolivars anymore,” one Venezuelan craftsperson told Reuters, “because you have to give a different price every hour.” For her, this means that “to survive, you have to dollarize.”

The good news, then, is that Venezuela’s hyperinflation might end up burning out as those other ones did. The bad news, though, is that’s probably a long, long ways away from happening. Consider this: It took a monthly inflation rate of 313 million percent for Yugoslavia to reach the point where it couldn’t print any more money, and 79.6 billion percent for Zimbabwe to decide that it wouldn’t. But Venezuela, according to Hanke’s calculations, has a monthly inflation rate in only the low hundreds. That corresponds to an annual inflation rate of more than 40,000 percent, which, while certainly a disaster by humanitarian standards, “has been quite modest,” he said, by “hyperinflation ones." It’s only the 23rd worst out of the 58 in history.

Venezuela, then, won’t come close to 1 million percent inflation for now, but it might not for long. The only thing we can say for sure is that things are going to get worse.

This year, many Americans have asked themselves what they can do, in a time of such great uncertainty, to make a difference. This week, we — a couple of women in our 80s who have been friends since high school — are walking the halls of Congress, delivering books on history to each office, as part of our own very personal answer to that question.

Our journey began last March. The previous evening, we sat white-knuckled through a talk by Yale historian Timothy Snyder about his powerful best-selling book, “On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century.” We were riveted by the idea that the threats leading to totalitarianism in Europe in the past century are eerily (or frighteningly) similar to dangers facing our own democracy today. This isn’t just about one personality. It’s about the seismic shifts underway in many aspects of our society. The opening line of the book — “History does not repeat, but it does instruct” — echoed in our minds.

We both have lived through a lot of history. We have perhaps naively believed that our institutions and our laws were immutable. We are troubled by the trend of short-sighted attacks on institutions for purely political motive. Snyder’s message — “Do not speak of our institutions unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves” —  struck us as a fitting call to action in 2017.

So we sat and talked, reflecting on how easily other democracies have failed during our lifetimes. We were born in the late 1930s in Jewish families, and we were intensely aware that if we had not been born in the United States, we might never have been able to marry the men we loved, raise amazing children and grandchildren and pursue flourishing careers. That realization left us in awe of the freedoms we have enjoyed — and perhaps, taken too much for granted.

One of the most powerful messages underlying Snyder’s historical analysis is that sometimes small, everyday decisions taken by regular people — to act, or to do nothing — are incredibly important in preserving and defending freedom. We felt that it was our turn, and that our first step would be to bring the message that inspired us to every member of the U.S. Congress, regardless of party or ideology. In the current environment of intense polarization, we hope that Snyder’s book will provide a different perspective on some of the upheaval we see happening in the United States.

We persuaded two like-minded souls to join us and — during frequent meetings in a local diner — began to raise money to purchase the books. We then set out to organize a small army of volunteers to personally deliver them to their elected officials. By networking with friends and family, we have managed to send copies of the books to 70 of our group’s leaders in 15 different states. The rest are being delivered this week — with three generations of volunteers — in Washington, just before the holiday recess. (This has also inspired the name of our grassroots effort, the Present History Project — which makes presents of history that can help our leaders and future leaders reflect on our modern lives.)

We know not every member of Congress will read “On Tyranny.” Despite our national history of fighting tyranny around the globe, this word has become a polarizing one. But we hope that each copy of the book will find its way to the hands of a member or staffer or intern who is open to learning these lessons of history, and driven to shape the next generation of political discourse in our nation.

Our message to each office is printed on our bookmarks: “Your constituents want you to read this book. Protect our democracy.” Each generation of American leadership has been called on to fight for the rights, values and institutions of democracy, and we believe the current generation must stand to defend this legacy. Otherwise it will be remembered for the silence that so many voters hear in this time of tremendous upheaval.

Snyder writes: “A nationalist will say ‘that it can’t happen here,’ which is the first step toward disaster. A patriot says that it could happen here, but that we will stop it.” We will spend our holiday surrounded by family, by the next generations of patriots, knowing that instead of sitting back and feeling powerless, we will have acted on behalf of our country and its institutions. We don’t know if we would have done the same in other eras of history, faced with other challenges. But in this one, we know we are using our good luck and passion to show future generations that the guilt of silence is worse than the failure of well-intentioned effort.

Apple said it would stop using contractors to listen in on users through Siri to grade the voice assistant’s accuracy after an Apple whistleblower had told the Guardian that the contractors responsible for “grading” the accuracy of the digital assistant regularly overheard conversations about doctors’ appointments, drug deals and even couples having sex. Their job was to determine what triggered Siri into action — whether the user had actually said, “Hey, Siri” or if it was something else, such as the sound of a zipper.

Apple said it would suspend the global analysis of those voice recordings while it reviewed the grading system. Users will be able to opt out of reviews during a future software update.

“We are committed to delivering a great Siri experience while protecting user privacy,” said Cat Franklin, an Apple spokeswoman, in an email to The Washington Post.

Later Friday, Amazon updated its privacy policy regarding voice recording made by its Alexa service. Amazon will now let users opt out of having humans review those recordings, selecting a new option in the settings of the Alexa smartphone app. Amazon employees listen to those recordings to help improve its speech-recognition technology.

The company tweaked Alexa privacy features in May, giving users the ability to delete recordings of their voices. And users could already opt out of letting Amazon develop new features with their voice recordings.

Many smart-speaker owners don’t realize that Siri, Alexa and, until recently Google’s Assistant, keep recordings of everything they hear after their so-called “wake word” to help train their artificial intelligences. (Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post.) Google quietly changed its defaults last year, and Assistant no longer automatically records what it hears after the prompt “Hey, Google.”

Apple said it uses the data “to help Siri and dictation . . . understand you better and recognize what you say,” Apple said. But this wasn’t made clear to users in Apple’s terms and conditions.

“There have been countless instances of recordings featuring private discussions between doctors and patients, business deals, seemingly criminal dealings, sexual encounters and so on,” the Apple whistleblower told The Guardian. “These recordings are accompanied by user data showing location, contact details, and app data.”

In response, Apple said that the recordings accounted for only 1 percent of Siri activations and lasted just a few seconds. They also were not linked to users Apple IDs.

Apple contractors in Ireland told the Guardian that they had been sent home for the weekend and were told it was because the global grading system “was not working.” Managers stayed on site, but said that no one knew how the system’s suspension would affect their employment.

The Apple whistleblower said the Apple Watch and the HomePod, a smart speaker, were especially prone to accidental activation. A 2018 study from investment firm Loup Ventures found that HomePod’s Siri was accurate in answering standardized questions 52 percent of the time.

- The Washington Times - Sunday, March 11, 2018

President Trump will visit San Diego on Tuesday to review prototypes for his border wall as tensions run high, after a video of agents arresting an illegal immigrant in Southern California went viral last week, opening a new battlefront in the war between the state and the federal government.

The wall is the most visible symbol of Mr. Trump’s stepped-up immigration enforcement policies. But activists are increasingly protesting specific arrests and deportations, treating individual cases as chances to strike back against the president.

That has become the case with the arrest of Perla Morales-Luna, was nabbed by agents March 3 while walking with her daughters. The arrest was caught on several videos which were posted last week by a beautician and part-time school aide who said the daughters were students at her school.

The videos have raced around the internet, exceeding 10 million views in little more than 24 hours.

“When agents essentially snatch a mother from her children without any consideration of welfare and safety, knowing they’re being videotaped, I think there is a level of comfort that the enforcement agencies have in operating in this way,” said Pedro Rios, program director at the American Friends Service Committee’s San Diego office.

But the Border Patrol says Ms. Morales is an unlikely poster child for excessive enforcement, saying she wasn’t just collateral damage but rather a specific target, based on her affiliation with a cartel.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said she arranged drivers to carry illegal immigrants from the border to a stash house. They said they sniffed her out after a January smuggling attempt in Boulevard, California.

Authorities didn’t specify what operation that was, but records show there was a major bust of a fake UPS truck carrying 77 illegal immigrants that was caught after it was stopped by the state highway patrol.

The incident is highly controversial, since it implicates California’s new sanctuary city laws.

CBP says it tried to get Ms. Morales to self-surrender in the weeks since the January incident but she refused, so agents were left with no choice but to target her for arrest.

When they finally tried to get her she resisted, trying to jump into another vehicle to flee, the agency says, adding its agents did everything by the book.

“The video clearly shows the arresting agents carried out their duties appropriately, even when faced with a barrage of insults and confrontational agitators,” the agency said.

Ms. Morales is being processed for deportation, since she’s here as an illegal immigrant.

Her defenders are questioning the veracity of the government’s account.

They say if she’s really a smuggler who deserved to be targeted for this kind of operation, the government should be charging her for involvement in the cartel operation.

Short of that, they question the appearance of the arrest.

“A mom walking with children on the street shouldn’t be treated in that matter,” said William Baker, the woman’s lawyer.

Mr. Baker told The Washington Times that they’ll ask for her to be released and reunited with her three U.S.-citizen daughters while she fights the deportation case against her.

The video made the rounds of social media Thursday and Friday, garnered coverage in dozens of local and national news outlets, and sparked outrage from Hispanic advocates and anti-Trump progressive activists.

“Your tax dollars at work,” tweeted Frank Sharry, executive director of America’s Voice. “Mother ripped away from her crying daughters by Border Patrol agents on a Southern California street corner. America in the age of Trump. Meanwhile, Congress on verge of giving Trump’s deportation force billions more.”

Susan Lloyd

Susan spent her 40 year career in the medical device industry in sales, marketing, business development and, ultimately, general management.

After graduating from Boston University, Susan joined Becton Dickinson & Company as one of their first women sales representatives selling to Boston area teaching hospitals. She was later promoted to the company’s central offices in New Jersey taking on roles in sales administration and marketing. After developing a unique intravascular therapy device product line while part of a newly formed new business development organization, Susan moved to lead the business as a part of the Bard Parker division. She later became Director of Marketing for AcuteCare, the company’s operating room products division.

Susan left Becton Dickinson in the early 90’s when she started her family and joined HealthScan Products. She remained with this business over the next twenty years, leading its dramatic growth and management through a series of acquisitions by HealthDyne Technologies, Respironics and ultimately, Philips Medical, all multi-national medical device leaders. During Susan’s tenure she led strategic initiatives to acquire two European inhalation drug/device companies and integrated these organizations into her division. Susan retired from Philips Medical as V.P. /General Manager of the Philips Respiratory Drug Delivery Division with over 300 employees in New Jersey, the UK, Italy and China.

As one of a small number of women in line positions throughout her career, Susan was actively involved in mentoring other women employees. She expanded this rewarding experience after retirement by mentoring three women in WE CAN’s Pathmaker program while performing other WE CAN volunteer activities including the WE CAN ShowHouse, Annual Meeting Committee, Valentines’ Day luncheon, and the Andi Genser Strategic Opportunities Fund Committee. Additional volunteer efforts on Cape Cod include fundraising for the Hydrangea Society’s “Hydrangea University”. More recently, Susan has become a volunteer consultant with SOAR Management Consulting Group providing pro bono consulting services to greater Boston nonprofit organizations.

Susan lives in Centerville and is still actively involved with parenting her 29 and 31 year old children but loves her free time to travel, garden, entertain, and pursue her volunteer activities.

The Winery Giefing

Erich Giefing used to be an award-winning gourmet chef. His "Backstube" restaurant in Rust won the hearts of gastronomy critics between the late eighties and early nineties. Erich Giefing was very proud of his - greatly refined - Burgenland cuisine. During the mid-nineties he and his present-day wife Claudia decided to give up cooking, lease the restaurant and devote themselves with daring assurance to his new hobby, viticulture. He made his new home in a 500-year-old farmhouse in the center of Rust, laying the cornerstone for the Giefing Winery.

The Giefing Winery is a precious architectural gem in itself. The farmhouse dates back to the 15th century and is the only building of its kind still used by vintners today.

14 hectares of grapes are cultivated in premiere locations. The oldest red wine vinestocks are 50 years or older. Grapes of the Chardonnay, Welschriesling, Grüner Veltliner, Neuburger, Furmint,Blaufränkisch, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zweigelt, St. Laurent and Pinot Noir varietals are processed. Syrah and Merlot grapes will be harvested beginning in 2003.

Each vine is checked a number of times from spring to fall to make sure it grows in the right direction. Shoots are thinned out and excess grapes removed to obtain a maximum physiological maturity.

Depending on the layout and age of the vineyard, we practice the so-called 6 to 8 grape program. In other words, we only leave between 6 and 8 bunches on the vine, depending on the growth and quality of the vine and the grapes. Then it's time to observe and listen to the grapes.
The time to harvest the grapes is determined according to individual quality criteria. Dense, deep red wine essences with extract sweetness are the result of this extreme cultivation. The wines are vinified in stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels.

The top quality products from the Giefing winery won a number of awards in the last few years and continue to create a sensation in the exclusive gastronomy.

Spice Up Your Loungewear Wardrobe With One of These 9 Lounge Jumpsuits

Saanya Ali

Though I am shamelessly the number one fan of wearing pajamas all day before changing into my brother’s high school sweatpants and then changing into another pair of PJs or a silky robe for a nighttime refresh, I recently realized that my loungewear to sleepwear habits have gotten a little tired. My trusty sweatpants have gone threadbare and my Property of Alcatraz pajama bottoms are no longer as ironic and entertaining as they once were.
