Connected vs. Unconnected: The Future of the Home The debate rages on… The fully connected home where all can be automated vs. the unconnected environment and the return to the beauty of form, function and simplicity. We're not Luddites, but if we look at the experiential nature and convenience of a connected space, we must also consider what it means to have a space that is intentionally unconnected. The removal of screens, tech, automation, phones, and tablets can create calm and allow opportunities for true reconnection with self and others. Offline. Join this compelling conversation about AI, automation and the pros and cons of a fully connected home in a complicated world.

Over 11 days recently, six Indigenous people were killed in separate encounters with police departments across the country. The outcome of any one incident isn't surprising, but so many, so quickly, is shocking. And there are hopes amidst the loss that this might, perhaps, be the thing that shocks the country's leaders to action.On Monday, MPs in Ottawa held an emergency meeting. Indigenous leaders across the country are desperate to see some action. There are community groups on the ground ready and able to help deescalate these situations. It just isn't happening. Why not? And what would it take to create impactful change?GUEST: Joanne Roberts, filmmaker, reporter at CityNews Winnipeg We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Stephen King Easter eggs. Unconnected stories. Jawa noises. That's the best way we know how to describe King's 1985 anthology Cat's Eye. What is with the random visages of Drew Barrymore? And why did Stephen King think The Ledge would make a good visual story? And why did eventually he rip his own story off with “Something to Tide You Over”? We are well into our long Summer of Stephen and we are still having a ton of fun. No matter how shitty some of these are. 8-6: Creepshow https://twitter.com/livingdreadfulhttps://www.instagram.com/barelylivingdreadful/tiktok.com/@barelylivingdreadfulemail: deeperscreeperspod@gmail.com Get the full RSS feed here: https://media.rss.com/deeperscreeperspod/feed.xmlartwork done by Yuzumaki Ketsueki, instagram.com/yuzumaki_ https://instagram.com/yuzumaki__?igshid=NTdlMDg3MTY=All music and videos are owned by the respective artist and production companies.

Micky (Mr. Telecom) Watkins is the CEO at World Mobile, a mobile network owned by the people and built on blockchain technology. Micky shares his background in telecommunications and his passion for connecting the unconnected.  Why you should listen Micky understands the importance of internet access for underserved communities and is focused on providing connectivity. World Mobile started as a privacy-based platform but shifted its focus to connecting the unconnected to address the fact that half of the world's population lacks proper internet access. Mickey explains how they set up an air node device in a remote village in Tanzania, which had a positive impact on the villagers' lives by improving communication and economic opportunities. They further explore World Mobile's mission to connect unconnected regions using off-the-shelf hardware, proprietary technology, and a sharing economy model that incentivizes individuals to host infrastructure. World Mobile, a mobile network operator based on the blockchain, is expanding its sharing economy model to connect unconnected populations in various regions. They have successfully implemented their vision in Zanzibar and Pakistan, and are now focusing on fine-tuning the sharing economy around the globe. By utilizing blockchain technology and smart contracts, World Mobile aims to reduce bureaucracy and ensure privacy for users. They have developed different types of nodes (air nodes, earth nodes, ether nodes) to provide connectivity in rural areas and address gaps in coverage. World Mobile's goal is to connect one billion people by 2030 through its shared economy approach.   Supporting links Bitget VIP Link World Mobile Andy on Twitter  Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin If you enjoyed the show please subscribe to the Crypto Conversation and give us a 5-star rating and a positive review in whatever podcast app you are using.

When we formed Counterpoint a decade ago, our passion and mission were to provide the best, in-depth insights, data, and advisory services for the technology industry. We considered mobile connectivity and devices to be pivotal to the massive digital transformation underway. We wanted to help companies make better and more informed decisions to enable them to offer the best experiences to billions of users.As we celebrate our 10th anniversary and reflect on engagements with hundreds of companies from among the largest to start-ups, we believe we should also play our part in giving back to society by helping to connect those who are not yet connected to the internet and to help them transform their lives.Our analysts are in a great position to utilize our diverse geographic footprint, knowledge, and excellent networks to create awareness, influence the industry, and volunteer to support underserved populations, such as children, women, and the displaced or otherwise overlooked communities, in getting internet connectivity. Data connectivity can unlock access to education, employment, healthcare, real-time communication, financial services, and more.As a first step towards this goal, we are excited to partner with Unconnected.org, a UK-based non-profit founded in 2019 by tech industry veterans with a vision and goal to connect an additional 100 million people to the internet. We aim to closely work with Unconnected.org and NGOs on different projects around the world to spread awareness, volunteer, and attract donors.In the latest episode of ‘The Counterpoint Podcast', host Jan Stryjak is joined by our VP of Research, Neil Shah, and Unconnected.org Chief Commercial Officer Mea Thompson. The discussion throws some light on why this is important, what Unconnected.org is doing, and how our partnership can help connect the unconnected!Follow us on social media platforms –Twitter – https://twitter.com/counterpointtrLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/counterpoint-technology-market-research/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMg5uHXDVM71UTF-lE_e--g/

The Digital Divide in Tribal Communities Across the North American continent, there is a stark difference in the availability of the internet to different communities. Tribal lands are typically remote, rural, and rugged landscapes, and often have very patchy, or non-existent internet connectivity. Dr. Traci Morris explains why such a digital divide exists and how tribes are working together, both within their communities and with each other, to create and gain access to communications networks. Digital Deras connecting farmers in rural Pakistan In rural Punjab in Pakistan, farmers and villagers gather in places called ‘Deras' to socialise, drink tea and coffee and discuss their farms. But one project has created a community network to transform one of these Deras to have digital facilities – a ‘Digital Dera'. Farmers use this Digital Dera to access crucial weather forecasts and other information to help them manage their farms more efficiently. It also helps them battle the impact of climate change, as the crop cycles change due to shifting weather patterns. Founders of the project Fouad Bajwa and Aamer Hayat speak to Gareth about the impact of the Digital Dera project on the farming community. Offline interview in Cuba Cuba is one of the least digitally connected countries in the Western hemisphere. This is due to the US trade embargo but also poor internet infrastructure and tight control of its own government on the flow of information. Although accessing digital technologies is getting better, for ordinary Cubans going online is still a challenge. The internet connection is slow, unreliable, and prohibitively expensive. To combat this, they have created an offline underground internet called ‘El Paquete Semanal' or ‘Weekly Package' – it is a one-terabyte collection of eclectic material of movies, tv-series, sports, and music while turning a blind eye to copyright. Reporter Snezana Curcic visited to learn more about this Cuban alternative to broadband internet. This programme was first transmitted on Tuesday 7th June 2022. The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Bill Thompson.

1. Wix Site Inspection Tool Integrates Google Search Console - Knowing whether your pages have been crawled (discovered by Google) or indexed (stored in Google's index), or whether your structured data markup is valid, for example, can help you fine-tune your online presence and make large leaps in search visibility. Google has always provided this information via Search Console, its platform for measuring search traffic and performance. To make those insights and tools more accessible to all business owners and SEO professionals, Wix now offers an approachable way to monitor and understand your site's issues and indexing status at scale. The Wix Site Inspection tool enables you to keep an eye on your site's technical health, mobile usability, rich result eligibility, and more, without having to pull the data manually or leave the Wix dashboard.“The tool will report any index status that Google is reporting, sometimes with easier language to understand. For example, it could be “crawled but not indexed” or “blocked by robots.txt” etc. Each index status detail will have a “learn more” link to an article explaining it and mentioning the common reasons why it could happen, with links to more relevant explanations. We also tell the users exactly what app and type of page each URL is so they can easily know where they need to take action.With this tool, users can debug any issue that they would get if they manually used Search Console's inspect URL tool. Users can understand the index status of their pages in Google and the specific reason for it. For each issue, we have additional resources to help guide users. These articles provide in depth explanations about each response, the possible reasons for it and how to fix it. Users will also be able to debug their mobile readiness and their structure data status.”The value of Wix is that it enables businesses to focus on doing business without having to deal with the underlying technology.Click here to learn more on how to get started with Wix Site Inspection tool.2. Google: Duplicate Content In Business Profile Posts Is Spam - Google added a line to its Business Profile posts content policy section cautioning users to avoid posting duplicate content.According to the update, duplicate content in posts published by Google Business Profiles is now considered spam. Google is sending a clear message that it wants businesses to post unique content.In addition, it sounds like Google wants businesses to limit their use of logos. Putting a logo on every photo, for example, may get you in trouble. The best way to stay within the new guidelines is to ensure every post published by your Google Business Profile is unique.Click here to read the complete content policy.3. LinkedIn Lets You Add Clickable Links To Photo Posts - LinkedIn rolled out a new feature that allows users to add external links to photos shared in posts as stickers. You can add link stickers to your photos and videos via the post creation tools in the LinkedIn mobile app. You cannot add link stickers through the desktop interface. However, users on any platform can see and click on the links when they see the posts in their feed. Link stickers are rolling out to users in phases, which means some people will have access to it before others. When you're eligible to use it, you'll see a chain link icon button when creating a post in the LinkedIn mobile app.4. IndexNow attributed for 7% URL Clicks On Bing - Fabrice Canel, Principal Product Manager at Microsoft Bing  told Search Engine Land that 7-percent of all the new URLs clicked in Bing Search in the past month were sourced from the IndexNow protocol. And more than 16 million websites are using IndexNow, publishing over 1.2 billion URLs per day to the IndexNow API.IndexNow provides a method for website owners to instantly inform the supported search engines about the latest content changes on their website. The IndexNow plugin was released by Microsoft back on Jan 5, 2022 and was covered in Episode#90. It was also covered in Episode#91 when it added support for Yandex - the russian search engine. It is unclear if IndexNow still sends data to Yandex now that there is a sanction on Russia since the Ukraine invasion.5. Google: Clicking On Your Site In Google Search Won't Change Your Rankings - One of the oldest myths in the Google SEO-verse is that clicking on your search results in Google Search will help you rank better. However, Google does not and has never used click data for ranking purposes. So someone asked John Mueller of Google the other day if clicking on my own link doesn't help but does it hurt? What if I get an army of people clicking on your site in Google Search daily, will that lead to some Google penalty?The answer is no, it does not hurt either. It does not hurt or help to have people clicking on your site in Google Search to try to manipulate Google's rankings in a positive or negative manner for that site. Google has said it countless times, CTR does not impact rankings and bot clicks don't either.6. Google Now Officially Supports GTIN12 Property - Even though the GTIN12 property was always supported but Google, it was not clearly mentioned in the documentation until now. Google also clarified that you can also use the generic gtin property for all GTINs, but they recommend that you use the most specific one if possible.So what is GTIN? GTIN, or a Global Trade Item Number, is an internationally recognized system for identifying products. It brought together several systems to ensure they all adhere to a common structure. GTINs can be 8, 12, 13, or 14 digits long. They are a numerical representation of the product's barcode. Different types of GTIN exist depending on where in the world the product comes from and the type of product.  The four different types of GTIN in use are: GTIN-8 - used mostly for EAN-8 barcodes GTIN-12 - used mostly for UPC barcodes GTIN-13 - used mostly for ISBN, JAN, and EAN-13 barcodes GTIN-14 - this is for wholesale or multipack products All GTINs, regardless of the number of digits, have a similar structure. The structure is Company Prefix, Item Reference, and a Check Digit. In GTIN-14 there is an additional packaging level indicator to indicate whether the product is an item or a case.Where GTIN-8, GTIN-12, and GTIN-13 numbers are represented as GTIN-14 (the main data structure), left-justified zeros pad out the number.For example, the GTIN-12 number 012345678905 becomes 00012345678905 in GTIN-14 format. Two additional zeros are added to the left of the number to bring it from 12 characters up to 14.Many comparison shopping engines, including Google and Amazon, use GTINs. They keep large databases containing almost all the GTINs that exist in the world.When you upload a product to one of these platforms through your data feed, the product must have a GTIN.If you don't include a GTIN or you include the wrong one, the platform is likely to reject the product.Shopping platforms like Google Shopping and Amazon Marketplace benefit from GTINs in several ways: GTINs help make more relevant matches between a user's search and the products available GTIN's also help search engines and shopping comparison platforms to compare products They can also offer the user a more feature rich shopping experience, as GTINs enable them to use product data in ad visuals Consumers also benefit when vendors, search engines, and comparison shopping engines use GTINs: They get better product comparisons to help them find the right product, the right seller, and the right price They see more relevant results when searching for a product They see more relevant ads in non-shopping environments like Facebook (Facebook and other platforms use the browsing habits of users to determine the best products to display in ads) As a seller, you also get benefits from using GTINs. Finding the right GTINs can sometimes be tricky, but it is worth the effort. The reasons for this include: You will be able to submit your product feed to a higher number of platforms You should see conversions increase because your products will appear in more relevant search results and ads You can compete more effectively as your products will be in the comparison mix In some cases, you may have a product that does not have a GTIN. Examples include one-off products like artwork, handicrafts, or vintage products. Most platforms have procedures in place to deal with these situations. On Google Shopping, for example, there is an Identifier Exists field. You can set this to false if there is no GTIN.7. TikTok Launches New Ad Targeting Transparency Tools - TikTok is giving users more understanding of how their personal data is being used for ad targeting in the app through the 'About this Ad' info panel. This info panel lists all of the different targeting factors that TikTok has used to display each ad to each user.  You'll also be able to switch off ad personalization based on third-party data - though whether it's on or off, TikTok will still be able to use your in-app activity in its ad targeting process.This update moves TikTok more into line with other social apps, which offer similar ad transparency features - though it's also worth noting that TikTok has been working to continue utilizing personalized ad tracking, in various ways, despite regulations and restrictions around such getting tighter in certain regions.Last month, TikTok was forced to suspend a planned change to its privacy policy relating to the use of user insights for targeted advertising, amid questions over whether the change is actually legal under the latest EU provisions for data protection and control.The planned update would have seen the app do away with asking users for their consent to run personalized ads, with TikTok seeking to process such data under what's essentially a legal loophole in this respect, via the provision for ‘legitimate interest'. By implying that personalized ads fall under legitimate interest grounds, TikTok was seeking to circumvent the EU ePrivacy Directive, but authorities called for a review of the process before it could go into effect.In other words, while on one hand TikTok's looking to be more upfront about how your personal information is being used for ad targeting, on the other, it's seeking to avoid restrictions on such, through questionable means.8. TikTok Is Rolling Out ‘Order Center' eCommerce Tracking Hub - TikTok is a bigger push on in-app shopping, with some users now seeing a new ‘Order Center' panel in the app, which tracks any products that you've purchased, looked at, or even, potentially, may be interested in, in the app.The new ‘Order Center' is now appearing for some users alongside their ‘Edit Profile' option in the app. Tap on it and you'll be taken through to a dedicated eCommerce display, where you can track all aspects of your TikTok shopping experience, including payment details, items you've tagged, recommendations, order status, etc.TikTok continues to find ways to make their user experience better, Facebook on the other hand had to kill their live shopping experience last week since it never took off. 9. Instagram Is Adding A Native Post Scheduling Option Within The App - Instagram is developing a native post scheduling process within the app, which will eventually enable users to schedule all of their posts, including Reels and Stories, to go out at set times. Up until now, the ability to schedule a post in Instagram was available via the Creator Studio, and now Instagram is slowly rolling out this feature natively on the app. This means, you no longer need to jump hoops (create a post and then send it to your desktop, login to Creator Studio and schedule posts).10. Instagram Shared “How Instagram Suggests New Content” - So how does Instagram select which additional content to show you in your Home feed? Instagram's post recommendations fall into two categories – ‘Connected' and ‘Unconnected', with the latter being the posts that Instagram's systems find and highlight, based on your interests.In both cases, Instagram is looking at the engagement data (Like & Save) for ranking. While this is not anything new, however it is good to see that Instagram is officially admitting that they use engagement data for ranking.If you want to geek out on all the other technical details then click here.11. Meta Advantage Ad Suite Now Supports All Businesses & Launches Advantage+ Shopping Campaigns  - As per the announcement posted on Meta's website, Small businesses can now use Advantage+ creative and Advantage audience to create ads through their Facebook page. When using Advantage+ creative, ads will automatically adjust for each person who views them. Meta will show individual users the version of the ad they're most likely to respond to.

The exponential rise of technology and its widespread adoption has led to a dual effect. On the one hand, there are a rising number of devices and electronics in the market, exacerbating an already growing waste and resource challenge. On the other hand, new technology has also led to an increase in digital solutions and innovation that is a catalyst to transforming electronic value chains towards a circular model. Doreen Bogdan-Martin speaks with Dr. Naoko Ishii, Executive Vice President, Professor at Institute for Future Initiative, Director, Center for Global Commons, University of Tokyo, on the opportunities that digitalization and connectivity bring to the transition towards a circular economy for electronics, particularly in building sustainable e-waste management systems.

Across the North American continent, there is a stark difference in the availability of internet to different communities. Tribal lands are typically remote, rural and rugged landscapes, and often have very patchy, or non-existent internet connectivity. Dr Traci Morris explains why such a digital divide exists and how tribes are working together, both within their communities and with each other, to create and gain access to communications networks. Digital Deras connecting farmers in rural Pakistan In rural Punjab in Pakistan, farmers and villagers gather in places called ‘deras' to socialise, drink tea and coffee and discuss their farms. But one project has created a community network to transform one of these deras to have digital facilities – a ‘digital dera'. Farmers use this digital dera to access crucial weather forecasts and other information to help them manage their farms more efficiently. It also helps them battle the impact of climate change, as the crop cycles change due to shifting weather patterns. Founders of the project Fouad Bajwa and Aamer Hayat speak to Gareth about the impact of the digital dera project on the farming community. Offline internet in Cuba Cuba is one of the least digitally connected countries in the Western hemisphere. This is due to the US trade embargo but also poor internet infrastructure and a tight control of its own government on flow of information. Although accessing digital technologies is getting better, for ordinary Cubans going online is still a challenge. The internet connection is slow, unreliable and prohibitively expensive. To combat this, they have created an offline underground internet called ‘El Paquete Semanal' or ‘Weekly Package' – it is a one terabyte collection of eclectic material of movies, tv series, sport and music, while turning a blind eye to copyright. Reporter Snezana Curcic visited to learn more about this Cuban alternative to broadband internet.

All kinds of plants and animals require certain environments and conditions to thrive. In the right environments and conditions, they thrive. Outside of that, they manage to barely survive or even fail to survive. We are no exception. When it comes to our spiritual and relational health, finding and remaining in healthy environments are key to our ability to not only survive, but thrive as God intended.

In today's world it's easy to feel like we are taking it on alone, like there isn't anyone who understands, and even like we don't matter too much. But we were never meant to walk alone or feel that way at all. What if I told you that we were meant to not just live and coexist with each other, but rather we were designed to do life together; to rub shoulders with each other, get messy and do the hard things in life, together. Join us today as we dig into this reality and see how community is formed and why it matters.

Friendships can be one of the most life-giving things we experience, yet we all go through seasons, or moments of being unsure of where we fit, or how we fit. This episode goes into some of the deeper aspects of the hearts chambers in the desiring, and cultivating those true, deep, soul connected, ride-or-die relationships. You are worthy of true friendships! But you are your own best friend :) Sometimes we skip this part and look outside of us, but when we truly LOVE who we are and how we are wired and created - those who are for us, and us them, will appear.Don't buy into the lies of rejection. You will never be too much or too little for those you are destined to be connected with. You are a child of God.
