Healthcare is one of the biggest industries around the world. The healthcare industry includes hospitals, clinics, surgery centers, pharmaceuticals, home care, healthcare equipment and more. Regardless of what field of the healthcare industry that you are in; there is a need for a proper healthcare logo to promote your business. A well-designed healthcare logo can work to transform the business into a lucrative one. Without proper marketing strategies, any business may fail. In the following, there are some key elements of designing a great healthcare logo briefly discussed.
Most of the popular healthcare logos include colors such as gray, white, blue, black, red, green and brown. These colors give a sense of trust and care as well as quality services. By choosing to use two or three of these colors in the design of your logo, you are more likely to attract a larger client base. Never use too many colors. Three is the maximum number of colors to be used in any type of logo design. Too many colors have a tendency to overwhelm the design and will negatively affect the outcome.
Any image that is chosen to be included in the logo design should be a basic and simple one. Many healthcare logos feature images of structures or geometric designs. Other may simply have a medically themed image such as a nursing emblem. Images with too much detailing can often negatively affect the appeal of the logo. Keep in mind that most logos only use a simple outline of an image with no inner details at all. This is the best standard for choosing an image for your healthcare logo.
In the business of healthcare, you want a font that depicts quality and service. You never want to choose fonts styles that are hard to read or those with dramatic design. Some of the best choices for this type of logo design are Ariel or Times New Roman. These are bold and stylish. You want to be sure to present your font in bold typeface to get the best visual results.
When text is included in the design of a healthcare logo, it usually consists of a catchy phrase or quote associated with the business. Many use the text to display the full name of the business. For example, on great logo simply shows the initials of the business. This logo has since become a famous iconic symbol used in recognizing this healthcare facility.
Always keep your entire logo design as simple as possible. The success of your logo does not depend on the details of the design. It depends on the message you relayed in the simplest form. Simple forms are best remembered by the public. It may be best to create several designs before choosing the one to represent your healthcare business. This allows for using many different colors, images, fonts and more. You will more likely find a lucrative logo for your healthcare business by practicing this technique.

Mistakes People Make Around Consent | Facebook Walk With Reid And Allison
by Reid on November 27, 2020
Reid: Hello Facebook! It's Reid Mihalko from http://reidaboutsex.com/
Allison: And ah!
Reid: Today, today is a sexy day 'coz we've got Girl Sex 101's Allison Moon guest starring today. Do you want to say…you can say anything you can say it's Allison Moon
Allison: No that's okay. That was fine.
Reid: from Girl Sex 101
Allison: You introduced me. Thanks.
Reid: Alright. But as you sign on, let me know if you can hear us because I've got a new on board meaning plug in to my camera mic super cool microphone that just arrived in the mail from Sweetwater audio so thank you Sweetwater for shipping it to me fast and thank you Tim Ferriss for mentioning this microphone on the podcast recently but it wasn't…it was Tim's guest who….who mentioned this
Allison: Oh, that's great.
Reid: and this is a this is a it is a Shure MV88 microphone I think and it's for iPhones and iPads and you plug it right into the phone and it's a little, little onboard shotgun mic.
Allison: Oh, so it plugs in to the power source
Reid: Yeah
Allison: Not the audio jack
Reid: No
Allison: That's cool.
Reid: Yeah oh yeah, this is the bomb-diggity but I…I think it's a Shure MV88. I'm so excited I…I forgot the name. I'll put it in the links. So how does it sound?
Allison: Loud and clear.
Reid: Loud and clear? You can read that?
Allison: I do.
Reid: Holy crap. You're like a hawk. So Allison and I will leave tomorrow. We're going to
Allison: Soul Play
Reid: Soul Play Festival and we're going to talk about polyamory, you and I are teaching Poly…. PolyCurious 101.
Allison: Yep.
Reid: I'm teaching an energetic sex workshop.
Allison: And I'm laying naked by the pool.
Reid: You're laying naked by the pool and I'm also moderating a discussion panel on consent and Soul Play Festival is a music and…hey everybody! Is a music and dance festival and I've asked a few people to talk about consent and everybody on the panel is somebody who identifies as a woman or identifies as female and…and I had one of the people that will be on the panel asked me like "why are there not more men on the panel?" And I was relating to Allison that the reason I want to hear more from women is I have some opinions that marginal…marginalized voices should be heard more from and I think when it comes to consent in the way that culture is the hearing advice from female-bodied type folk, not men basically like
Allison: They're not just female-bodied
Reid: Yeah, I mean not just
Allison: Trans I mean transwomen
Reid: Transwomen
Allison: also suffer from a lot of that consent issues.
Reid: Basically, I have ideas about consent but I don't know that hearing consent ideas from a white man or a panel of white men is the is the most useful for the Soul Play Festival and since I've got you here and I wanted I was thinking about consent stuff today, what…what are some of your thoughts about like consent mistakes or mistakes people make about consent? 'Coz you're not going to be on the panel.
Allison: Those are two different things now. So consent is
Reid: Just talk about whatever you want.
Allison: So a consent mistake is considered this thing from consent violation in kind of the way like a misdemeanor is separate from a felony.
Reid: What…what I… what I meant was like mistakes people make around consent. I said mis…consent-mistake
Allison: Okay.
Reid: but…but I
Allison: that's why I was curious of. Okay
Reid: The title of this talk. I'm…I'm screwing all this up. I'm just you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to let Allison talk, I'm going to listen. What do you want to say, honey?
Allison: Well, I mean so consent is fucking necessary. Consent is sexy but it's also fucking necessary. I think that consent gets a bad rap because a lot of people are very afraid of non-consent. I think a lot of people are very good natured good people who just don't quite understand how these things work and don't quite understand how to get permission for things in a way that still keeps the energy of sexiness going, assuming that that's the energy that's present in the space. I think that a lot of people are just afraid about talking about sex in general and so if you have to ask somebody a question about what you'd like to do to their body sexually, suddenly that becomes that can kick up a lot of different things, it can kick up shame, it can kick up a fear of pleasure, it can kick up gender issues, it can kick up just all sorts of sexual play to be having to be intimate and honest with somebody and that's all within the realm of consent. I think that however when consent is done period not even just done well but just done, it allows for much greater intimacy. It gives people permission to ask for things that they want and create upgrades and just gives people their voices.
I've been very fortunate like I actually have sex with somebody who was a lot younger than me. A man and I was very worried at first because I'm like this this kid grew up watching porn, right? And I was like "oh no like he's going to be all over the place." What was really delightful was because the conversation about consent has been happening mostly in response to horror stories we hear and on campuses right but people don't know how to handle the conversation but at least we're starting to have it. When I was in college, we certainly weren't talking about consent. We weren't sitting everybody down and saying "okay like here's how not to assault somebody." Now it seems like it's happening, it's certainly not there yet societally but it's happening more and more and I think it's really fun and sexy to be able to ask in a sexy way "can I do this to you or would you do this to me?" I think there's a lot of room for yumminess in that space but until you've had experienced it or until you've witnessed it, it's hard to sometimes believe so that's why I've encouraged people to upgrade who they're sleeping with. Don't sleep with shitty people and at the same time like sleep with people who actively care about your voice not people who are trying to figure out what they can get away with. Do you like that?
Reid: Yeah.
Allison: Yeah and I mean okay, so I have more to say and this isn't just about sexual space, right? There's plenty of ways in which our consent is just taken away from us all the time. The…example we always use in sex education community is that like as a baby, we're taught that our opinion doesn't always matter. We don't want our diapers change but mom and dad they're going to do it to you anyway because it needs to be done. Kids aren't necessarily completely capable of knowing what's best for them sometimes so we do actively teach people even as children that their consent is a gray area. Where this becomes important is it starts as a baby but it keeps on going through life and the other example we use is like kiss grandma, you have to kiss grandma before we leave grandma you know you know grandma cook this wonderful dinner for us for Thanksgiving you have to kiss her before you leave and it tells us that there's only one way to show affection to somebody and that's by using our bodies and or…we have people who can tell us what to do with our bodies at any time. Again, these feel like minor things and in many ways oftentimes they are minor things but if we teach our kids that so young, how do we ever learn our voices, how do we ever learn how to say "no, actually I don't want to kiss that person or no actually I have the right to say no to you and push you away." We have to teach our kids that as well and so one of the things, one of the upgrades when you encourage parents is ask your child how they would like to show affection to grandma, you can do all sorts of fun things, you can wiggle noses, you could touch elbows, you can give hugs, you can write share a beautiful drawing all these different ways it show like you love grandma, grandma loves you but doesn't necessarily involve having to have your physical boundaries violated in order to be able to show that affection. That's the flasks, right?
Reid: Yeah. I mean and, and sometimes you know because we haven't we've a lot of us have been raised to not really be thinking about what we like or exploring our own bodies because a lot of us have had our agency taken away even when things subtle is you know go kiss grandma before we go and maybe in not so subtle ways and because we haven't been given a lot of permission to talk openly and then you add on to it that that English, the English language is a horrible language for nuanced words about sexuality and pleasure you know we can arrive at being adults and not really have a lot of practice or a lot of words for talking about things or we're dating somebody or sleeping with somebody or hooking up with somebody who doesn't have a lot of practice or isn't really good at using their words and then it creates this just really clunky fraught situation. And for me as a sex educator who teaches about consent and lectures on it you know ecologies and stuff like I don't always know what I need immediately in the moment and can speak up about it a hundred percent of the time like just like that.
So if I have lag time or might feel pressured or somebody's really you know excited about trying to create something and so I don't want to disappoint them, I don't want to tell them that I changed my mind, I mean obviously this is coming through the lens of…of an extroverted white guy but like if I'm not doing and speaking up immediately a hundred percent of the time what is really useful to understand is that so many people have this lag time or this hesitation and they're not speaking up and when we just assume everybody can speak up because we're adults, you're making an assumption that is so wrong
Allison: Yeah
Reid: and then we don't have really good checking in habits and protocols to slow things down, to check in and be like hey you know "how are we doing you know do we want to stop, do we want to change our minds? Like I'm just you know kind of a nerd about checking in I hope this isn't totally ruining the moment." But I'd rather ruin the moment checking in
Allison: Yeah and I…I love
Reid: then
Allison: love the experience of checking in so much so that person's like "oh my god, shut up just do all these things." Blanket yes, right? When somebody tells me I have a blanket yes, it gives me it makes me able….able to relax into knowing that they they've got their voice it's handled but that doesn't mean I'm not going to ever check in for the rest of the time but it means that I can trust them to speak up more than it might somebody else that doesn't even know what the blanket yes is or doesn't or needs me to check in about every single thing.
Reid: Now, I want to make big blankets that say yes on one side and you flip it over it says no on the other side so you literally have a blanket yes.
Allison: There are actually pillowcases
Reid: Really?
Allison: that say yes, no and maybe
Reid: Oh?
Allison: Yeah there are and I think it's like it was designed for like, like a Spencer's gift for like the newlyweds
Reid: Oh.
Allison: You know
Reid: Oh, that's good, that's good
Allison: Yeah.
Reid: And hey, there they go.
Reid: So, yeah call Spencer's. That was a free plug. Yeah so, again like I just mostly as…as we're preparing to go off grid for a couple of days so I don't know that I'll be able to…Allison's stopping and smelling the roses.
Allison: And it smells so delicious. Smell it here, I'm going to hold this.
Reid: Okay, talk to them.
Allison: So yeah we're going to be off the grid for a couple of days talking to awesome people about all sorts of things
Reid: Oh, it's pretty good.
Allison: And then….nice?
Allison: But yeah so I appreciate you bringing up this conversation because it's [Inaudible 00:12:45]
Reid: Well I'm kind of I'm also warming up for it 'coz I'm nervous that I…I created a panel where I'm the only guy on it.
Reid: And my you know for those of you who know like "Reid really does have a need to feel special." I'll take the, the I'll take responsibility and take the hit for asking you know non male-identified folks to…to be on the panel because I'm interested in what they have to say and in the dance community, I'm not a dancer, what I do is more like flailing but in the dance community where some of the dance events want the rules can be no talking on the dance floor
Allison: Right
Reid: and it's all about like reading body language. I'm really interested in hearing from dancers what their advices around getting consent
Reid: and navigating these situations that can already be fraught?
Allison: Yeah and so this is another thing and this is…how I'm talking about non-sexual space is really important because like consent is also again necessary and sexy but it's also polite. One of the best exercises you do in a welcome circles for play parties is talking about energetic non-consent.
Reid: Yeah gaze
Allison: Which is what basically an every woman in the world knows this feeling of being on the city bus and having somebody leering right where they're just energetically trying to attack you even if they're staying right in their seats and if you felt it, you know what it's like. That's an element of non-consent too. I'm not suggesting that people's gazes should be policed but I do think it's something to again if I…as a polite person to be aware of when you're trying to manipulate somebody's energetic space from a distance and this is what often the male, when we talk about the male gaze or just creepy guys leering at us on the street, they don't have to say a word and yet we still feel violated, right? And that's not women overreacting, that's a genuine experience and so in the dance floor situation you cannot even be touching somebody but if you're just dancing feeling self-expressed in your own space and you have somebody who's actively trying to alter your space by just staring at you, that is a form of non-consent and again it's not necessarily a crime but it's just not polite and if we want to try and create communities where people can feel cups let's say feeling self-expressed, if you want to create a society where women can wear that fucking fly outfit on the bus without it being like a scary choice being invested in that space that is polite to run consent is just as important as being invested in a space where people actively please their actions.
Reid: Yeah and this and we'll talk a little bit about this at the panel because there's questions I have and….and just you know things I want to kinda set up for….for people to talk about. It's only a 60 minute panel.
Allison: Wow.
Reid: I'm going to check in and see if maybe we can record the panel and maybe I can upload it but I have to get approval from everybody and I can only do that on site but we don't have Wi-Fi up there. We have very limited so I don't think I'll be able to Facebook live while we're at the festival. So we'll Facebook live tomorrow while we're driving and
Allison: While I'm driving and you're sitting.
Reid: While Allison's driving and I am being an amazing passenger because Allison's much better driver than I am and she actually knows how to get places
Allison: No I'm not a better driver. I'm a worst passenger.
Reid: Oh, oh! Yeah, that's why it works. She's a worst passenger than me ladies and gentlemen. Live with your strength, live with your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. So yeah, just thank you for letting us walk around the neighborhood
Allison: Can I share one thing before I go because it's been on my mind
Reid: Yeah and then also let me know how is the sound quality? I really want to know about the microphone.
Allison: So I, so…so at the very top of the video I just want to acknowledge the fact that I use the word female body which I don't I used
Reid: I used female body
Allison: I don't like it because
Reid: Okay
Allison: transwomen are female bodied whether they've had surgery or not so I apologize anybody who's watching that, who heard that and who was like "that's weird." I don't like that phrase.
Reid: Right.
Allison: So
Reid: I'll…I'll take the hit for that.
Reid: And I'm always welcoming upgrades for people to either you know call me in or call me out directly and say "Reid don't use that word, use this word." You're doing some amazing stuff with Girl Sex 101 and the Spanish translation
Allison: Yes it's so close to being done.
Reid: And all kinds of neat nerdy things maybe we'll have a video about that one day.
Allison: In Spanish.
Reid: In Spanish. I will not be speaking in Spanish. That is not a good idea. So yeah, and….and for those of you who are heading up to Soul Play tomorrow it is sold out and I'm looking forward to seeing everybody and if you have questions or concerns about the consent panel or how I ran it or you want to talk to me find me find me at Soul play. I am actually really…really open to having conversations and getting feedback from people and I made I made some choices and I'll you know I'll take responsibility for them and why don't we just end on that? We'll end on Allison's smelling the roses ladies and gentlemen.
Allison: Is it okay if I smell you? I think it's okay.
Reid: Oh like getting consent from the flowers. Thank you, everybody.
Allison: Bye!
Reid: Thank you. Sorry if this conversation was clunky. Yeah, I guess I'm just nervous about the talk.
Allison: You're fine.
Reid: I want to go well.
Reid: Alright bye!
Reid: We love you.

At a Glance | Scholarships | Mentoring | Success Story
AGSP/Benin At a Glance:
Program start date: October 2004
Academic focus: Primary School
Academic year start: October
Local partners: Actions Communautaires pour le Développement Durable (ACDD), Groupe d'Action pour la Justice et l'Egalité Sociale (GAJES)
Number of scholarships to date: 7,982
Girls: 6,377
Boys: 1,605
Number of schools: 40
Number of mentors: 71
Geographic Focus: North and South
World Education has partnered with two local organizations in Benin, Actions Communautaires pour le Développement Durable (ACDD), and Groupe d'Action pour la Justice et l'Egalité Sociale (GAJES), to help provide scholarships, find and train mentors, and oversee the program. World Education also conducts capacity building activities with each NGO to strengthen their skills.
To date, 7,982 scholarships have been awarded to 6,377 girls and 1,605 boys in Benin (see Table 2). In 2010 ACDD and GAJES distributed scholarships to 1,256 continuing scholars (809 girls, 447 boys) (see Table 1). The NGO partners routinely conduct school and organized group study sessions monitoring visits to ensure student attendance and productive learning. Mentoring activities remain a strong component of the program with special attention to reproductive health issues of teens and young women. AGSP's work with the community has proven productive, as support continues to grow and communities develop and implement sustainable plans that will benefit current scholars and non-AGSP students beyond 2011.
No new AGSP scholars were added to the program this year. Scholarship distribution ceremonies took place in early January 2010. Each of the ceremonies was well attended with support from Alice Gnonlonfoun USAID-Benin Representative, the Head of the School District, School Administrators, Parents, Teachers and the wider community. The scholarship package includes books, school supplies, backpacks, school fees, shoes, uniforms and breakfast. Distribution of scholarships amongst the various NGO partners for this academic year is indicated in the table below.
During the ceremony it was stressed that scholars should be closely monitored and supported by the teachers, parents and mentors. The ceremonies also provided an opportunity to generate awareness of AGSP achievements and encourage the community to continue to encourage their children through school and think beyond the life of the AGSP program.

There are currently 54 mentors volunteering in Benin. These volunteers are business women, dress makers, housewives who have at least completed primary school and teachers who have been recruited by the communities. The mentors have been actively monitoring the girls' academic work, organizing home visits, and helping to organize and supervise study groups both at school and in the girls' homes. This year NGOs are organizing a refresher training workshop on the use of the USAID Girls Mentoring Resource Guide. Also, with assistance from other community members, mentors have become involved in the management of the school breakfast program in AGSP schools and expressed great appreciation for the breakfast program because of its positive impact on the children's learning and health.
In addition to the regular scholarship items distributed this year, sanitary pads, were also given out to female AGSP Scholars who had begun their menstrual cycle. These sanitary pads were made available through a partnership between Procter & Gamble and World Education. Before the distribution of the sanitary pads, the adolescent girl scholars were interviewed in order to determine their familiarity with the sanitary napkins and their use. Each girl received 2 packs of sanitary pads that will be replenished after 2 months. The sanitary pad distribution was done with the support of the community health workers. They had special sessions with the girls to help them understand the usage and disposal of the pads. The girls were told not to sell or give away the napkins. The not for sale stickers were placed on each pack of napkins.
In addition to regular mentoring activities for the scholars the NGO partners continued to strengthen their relationships with the community. PTAs, teachers, and school authorities have been highly involved in the monitoring of mentoring activities, especially support classes provided to scholars. To this end PTAs have regular weekly meetings to discuss activities and scholar issues. The teachers and school management committees have also been very active in managing the school canteen breakfast distribution.

Friedel-Crafts Acylation
What is a Friedel-Crafts Acylation
Friedel-Crafts Acylation Mechanism with Example
Friedel-Crafts Acylation Vs. Alkylation
Practical Applications of Friedel-Crafts Acylation
Limitations of Friedel-Crafts Acylation
The Friedel-Crafts acylation, also called Friedel-Crafts alkanoylation, is a process that involves the addition of an acyl group to an aromatic compound (benzene), with acyl halide (RCOCl) and aluminum trichloride (AlCl3) being the typical acylating agent and Lewis acid catalyst respectively [1]. Acyl anhydrides can also be used as an acylating agent while iron (iii) chloride can act as a catalyst [2]. It is named after the French chemist Charles Friedel and American chemist James Crafts who developed the reaction in 1877 [1, 2].
The driving force behind the FC acylation is the activation of electrophile using a Lewis acid to form an acylium ion which is attacked by the aromatic ring [2].
Friedel-Crafts Acylation Mechanism
Since the acylium ion is resonance stabilized (as shown in the first step), no rearrangement of carbocation occurs [3]. Moreover, the aromatic compound is deactivated and can no longer accept electrons from a nucleophile (electrophilic attack), preventing it from taking part in further reactions [3].
Acylation Alkylation
Involves the addition of an acyl group, but anhydrides can also be used Involves attachment of an alkyl group
An aromatic compound, acyl halide, and Lewis acid catalyst are used as reagents Reagents used include an aromatic compound, alkyl halide, and a catalyst
Resonance structures of acylium ion (carbocation) are formed Rearrangement of carbocation occurs
Synthesis of natural products and complex bioactive molecules, including africanol, phomazarin, salvadione, bruguierol C, and murrayazoline [4]
Biological compounds in humans like DNA and vitamin D utilize Friedel-Crafts acylation to attach to their aromatic portions [5]
Production of phenol and naphthalene using titanium(IV) chloride-mediated ortho-acylation process [6]
Synthesis of several organic compounds like ferrocene, chlorobenzene, and benzaldehyde [7, 8, 9]
It can only be used to produce ketones in which an oxygen atom is joined to a carbon atom by a double bond [1].
Deactivated benzenes do not react under Friedel-Crafts conditions, as they are always less reactive than the original mono-halobenzene [1].
The Lewis acid AlCl3 usually forms aryl amine complexes and makes them unreactive [1].

Volunteering in India can be one of the most rewarding experiences of a lifetime. Just a small amount of your time can make huge differences in people's lives.
So you're thinking about volunteering in India? The first question you'll be asking is where to from here?
There are several organisations who take people to volunteer in projects usually associated with health, education and community development. But before you make a commitment, take into consideration that you will need enough money to support yourself throughout the trip unless you are sponsored, you will need to be prepared to get involved and participate rather than stand around and watch and be able to take the time away from your daily life to put 100% into the cause.
Many volunteer organisations have programs that last anywhere from two weeks to twenty weeks. There can be considerable cost involved such as flights, visas, vaccinations, travel, insurance, tax and personal costs.
Along the way you will be emerged in the culture, meet many new people and help those in need.

When you spend over twenty years playing in bands, you pick up a few stories along the way. If there's a steady rise to fame, a mysterious hiatus, and a sparkling return, then chances, are the stories you'll hear are good ones.Often, life's experiences find their way into new songs and onto albums. If you're Canadian power-pop legends Odds, you decide to share those experiences on stage. Since releasing their 2008 LP Cheerleader, the first album of new material since 1996's Nest, the recently reunited group has thrown itself into a strange and exotic creative endeavour -- story time theatre."I guess you'd call it a play," says Craig Northey, Odds' longtime singer and guitarist. "It's a narrative, maybe a storytellers' concept about our strange history. We weave these ideas and war stories between [performing] the songs. There are visuals to accompany the show, including a large screen with gorgeous colours and dynamic clips. It all works together to take people on a different ride than that of a regular concert." The band has been test-running the show in B.C. and is currently filming a DVD. Expect clips to appear on the Odds' website (oddsmusic.com) and for them to take it on the road in 2011-2012. Northey says the response so far has been fantastic."The last thing we wanted was some dreary 20th anniversary tour run through the back catalog. We wanted to get to the core of why we are still out there as a creatively vital band."Northey conceived the idea while working with longtime friend Kevin McDonald, actor and member of ground-breaking comedy troupe Kids in the Hall, on his one-man show. "I realized we had a lot to talk about as four guys who'd triumphed and screwed up together."He thought back to the original "Storytellers" tour featuring the Kinks' Ray Davies. "It was spellbinding but all the Kinks weren't there and there was no rocking. I thought that having our whole band there would make it three dimensional but still intimate."Northey wrote the first version of the play while on an airplane then took another plane to another Kid in the Hall's house, Bruce McCulloch, to whip it into shape. It all came together pretty fast. Fortunately for him, the band has a long, colourful journey to draw on. The journey began in Vancouver in 1987, when Northey (vocals-guitar), Steven Drake (vocals-guitar), Doug Elliott (bass) and drummer Paul Brennan got together for reasons they couldn't figure out. Maybe that's why the name stuck. When explaining the oddity of their name, Northey says "it's a dumb name that you can't really search on the internet, you know gambling and stuff, but it seemed to fit." They cut their teeth and paid bills with a six-night house gig, playing sets as a satirical '60s and '70s cover band. This allowed them to record and write in the daylight and venture to places that might accept them. Soon, an LA bigwig heard what was going on and came to visit.
fun we have is playing this new music but we get a small charge out of the strange spell the catalog songs can cast. The whole cocktail makes new fans. We play shows and, we're in our forties, except for Murray, and we see people who are 18, 19, 20 going crazy in the front row. A lot of them were in Grade seven when they got an Odds record and it means so much to them because it was one of their first experiences with music. They just can't believe they're seeing us play because they thought it was never going to happen.""And that's cool, but we're not doing it to be some nostalgic curiosity. We got back together because we had something to say musically. That's why this play came about. We can look back and put it all together now. We see that every weird decision we made, every pratfall, was all part of staying true to ourselves. That's how we can still be looking forward to this day. We're still writing the story."Check in with oddsmusic.com for new tour dates.

The most important rule when buying shoes is they except beautiful to be and comfortable. Comfort is extremely important with regard to the proper gait and the way that feels the very foot. This means that the more comfortable the shoes, the better we will look and feel, i.e this is necessary from a health and aesthetic standpoint. If the shoe is not comfortable, then you can get into pain in the feet and especially in the back. This is precisely in direct relation to the requirement of the convenience of the footwear.
Another equally important aspect when buying women's shoes is the quality of the materials they are made of. The basic element in the shoes, this is the leather used for their manufacture. With quality and genuine leather, you can be sure that your feet will feel better. It would reduce the risk of sweating, which is sometimes reason for the appearance of fungi on the feet. Several manufacturers have even thought about that and launched the so-called breathable shoes.
Today, the market has a lot of shoes that are temptingly cheap, but if we talk about quality, then things are really different. You cannot expect for 10-20 dollars to get quality shoes made of natural leather. Not to mention that there are many cases in which many people complain of occurring ailments on the feet, which in certain cases may be due to the poor quality materials, namely used for the creation of some of the cheaper shoes. In many cases, in order to reduce the price, for the processing of the artificial leather are used chemicals that are clearly not supported by a healthy perspective and pose a significant risk. Exceptions are cases where the traders in order to part with older models, sometimes put on the market and promotions of branded footwear at very affordable prices.
And another plus of the purchase of quality shoes is the duration of their use. With certainty, shoes made with priority quality can be worn for longer time. This is a result of the materials used for making them. This means that it is better to spend more money, but in exchange, to buy quality shoes that will last many wears, and not so to speak single. With the purchase of branded shoes in which is emphasized primarily on quality, we can ensure comfort and pleasant feeling while walking or shopping.

Q: MySQL store IP as int for higher performance? I have a database with a lot of queries per second. The query search for the IP address value.
So is it reasonable to store IPs like for example 34.549.53.23 as int value: 345495323?
Will the queries be faster?
I know for example that 192.168.1.1 and 192.16.81.1 are both stored as 19216811 but this does not matter.

A: While I think this is micro optimization you can use the function ip2long() to convert an ascii representation of an IP address to a 32bit integer and long2ip() to convert it back.
Try it:
$int = ip2long('192.168.0.1');
echo $int; // 3232235521

$ip = long2ip(3232235521);
echo $ip; // 192.168.0.1

Btw, the conversion between a string representation of an IP and it's integer representation works not like you expect. You see that 192.168.0.1 is converts not to 19216801. Look at it, it is obvious that this couldn't be reconverted. Is it 19.216.80.1 or 192.168.0.1?
An IP address is a 32bit integer which is stored in binary format (like any number). Lets have a look at the binary representation of 3232235521 (192.168.0.1):
11000000 10101000 00000000 00000001

I've split into 8bit units (bytes) for better readability. This is what the computer sees. But this is hard to remember for humans.
The ascii representation from that will be build by convert the value of every byte to decimal and separate them by a .:
11000000 => 192
10101000 => 168
00000000 =>   0
00000001 =>   1

.. what gives you 192.168.0.1, what is more easy to remember by humans. (Beside some other advantages regarding the readability of subnet groups)

A: Yes the queries will be faster. Also to save the IP as integer use the mysql's INET_ATON() and to get back the IP address from integer use INET_NTOA() . Pleas refer this page for more info
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/miscellaneous-functions.html
If you are trying with PHP you could use ip2long() and long2ip() viceversa
Refer http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ip2long.php


According to Gallup's State of the Global Workplace report, conducted in 142 countries, only 13 percent of employees say they feel engaged at their workplace. This rather disheartening result means that actively disengaged workers (negative and potentially hostile to the organization they work for) outnumber engaged employees almost 2-1.
A range of organizational factors affect employee engagement, but, according to Dr. Linjuan Rita Men, an associate professor of public relations at the University of Florida, there are four main ones: environment, leadership, culture and communication factors. Dr. Men elaborates, saying the four factors include "[w]ork environment such as job characteristic, pay, and compensation, organizational leadership such as a CEO's credibility, organizational culture that emphasizes transparency, integrity and trust and organizational communication factors such as a two-way, open communication climate and effective communication channels." In other words, employees expect to be paid well, to be able to trust and work with their seniors and peers, and to be able to express themselves without the fear of repercussions.
Willis Towers Watson's Communication ROI Study Report defines effective employee communication as both a leading indicator of financial performance and a driver of employee engagement. According to the report findings, over the past five years, companies with highly effective communication have had 47% higher total shareholder returns than firms with less effective communication.
Another study by Willis Towers Watson, the 2014 Global Workforce Study, made similar findings. It concluded that, when employees perceive neither leaders nor managers to be effective communicators who drive engagement, only eight percent report high engagement levels. Conversely, at companies that utilize effective communication channels, 72 percent of employees report high engagement levels. As these studies show, an effective communication concept is the bedrock of successful employee engagement.
How do we communicate internally?
The firm Hollinger and Scott surveyed 100 communication professionals about the channels they use. The survey found the top three most commonly used channels to be meetings, intranet and e-mails. Posters and banners are the fourth most common, and video the fifth. The survey also found "employee engagement" to be the biggest challenge in communicating with stakeholders, meaning that typical communication methods no longer work effectively enough. In today's quickly-evolving business environment, face to face meetings are too time consuming, posters and banners are not eye-catching for busy employees and internal e-mails can be lost in cluttered inboxes.
Video is being hailed by many as the future of content. Its value as a communication tool continued to rise in 2017, its growth directly proportional to the expanding mobile phone industry. A Cisco studypredicted that mobile video traffic will account for 75 per cent of total mobile data traffic by 2020.
Video is becoming a critical information source for senior executives as well. According to a study conducted by Forbes, more than 80% of executives said they watch more online video today than they did just a year ago, and 75% of executives said that they watch work-related videos at least weekly.
Why Video is so Powerful for Effective Communication?
It is rich. One minute of video is worth 1.8 million words, according to Forrester Research.
It is attractive. 54% of IC professionals say their employees expect video content, and 93% of them believe video has become vital to effective communication (according to Cisco's Melcrum Study).
It is practical. Video can convey a wide variety of messages for employees. It's an ideal platform for conveying complex messages, training employees or sharing product updates.
A picture is worth… As a medium, video most closely mirrors how we biologically consume information, since sight is our strongest sense. 90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual. We use vision to mediate 80% of our perception, learning and cognition.
For large organizations that want to launch new material internally, video is unquestionably the most effective, efficient method. It engages people quickly and increases their understanding of the launch process by as much as 74%. Video also makes it easier to reach a variety of target groups. As shown in a consumer behavior survey conducted by Hubspot, video (55%) is the type of content to which people pay closest attention, followed by social media posts (52%) and news articles (49%).
Thanks to their many potential uses, diverse video styles can be used to reach several target groups and address multiple topics at once.
What are the benefits of motion graphics videos?
A growing number of companies have started using motion graphics videos to enhance their employee engagement. Boston Scientific used a series of short videos to tell employees about the launch of a new CRM assessment tool. Panasonic used videos to inform its employees about a new digital application called "On4Care." According to Ylvi Buza of Panasonic, "Panasonic has seen customer participation and usage of the platform increase to five times as much [as before]." Vodafone, the British telecom company, has a similar story. They used video to explain and promote work-from-home options for employees. Koc Holding, a Turkish conglomerate, promoted its new benefits program, Flextra, to twelve different corporate groups via a three-minute explainer video along with a five-minute "how to" video. IKEA used an animated video to improve engagement with the "internal architects program." Such examples will soon be found worldwide.
1. Less is more. Don't exceed four minutes, since research shows that people rarely watch longer content. Achieve this by keeping it simple: stick to your core idea and remove any unnecessary information from your script.
2. Use storytelling. Explain core ideas (or ask your copywriter to do this) via stories and examples, since this dramatically improves information retention.
3. Use live action for very short videos, animation for longer ones. If a video has a runtime that's under 30 seconds, you could probably record it on your mobile phone and still succeed. Longer videos—or those about more crucial topics—, require post-production and animation strategies to ensure engagement.
4. Find a vendor that specializes in producing videos for employee communication. If you have budget constraints, digital agencies may not be ideal partners. Start-ups like Vibons or Visually are good examples of more affordable, agile companies.
Given a choice between a short video or a long e-mail, which would you prefer? In our social and personal lives, we tend to choose video for information or entertainment. We should take the same approach in our business lives. When it's so easy to secure their attention with an engaging video, why should we continue to bombard employees with endless e-mails and meetings?


At RMSD, we realize that there is a big difference in maturity between a student who has just turned three and a student who is four and a half. By separating each age group we can provide the best possible learning experience for all of our younger dancers. Our teachers create a positive atmosphere in class and provide one on one attention so that each student feels good about his or her accomplishments. We make learning basic techniques fun by incorporating age appropriate music, games and the current interests of the students into all of our classes. Classes are offered in the morning, after school, and on Saturdays to accommodate everyone's busy schedules.
The students are introduced to basic stretching, pre-ballet and tumbling. Through imaginative storytelling and singing, we keep the dancers engaged and foster their creativity. The students will also have fun practicing motor skills, such as skips, gallops and jumps.
We continue to build upon the concepts in stretching, pre-ballet and tumbling taught in preschool 1 and also introduce the dancers to tap. Students will practice counting while having a blast using basic tap steps to make tons of noise!
Once the dancers start school, they are able to focus on one subject for a longer period of time. Dancers may choose a combination of ballet and tap or a combination of ballet, tap, and acrobatics.
In ballet, the students start with stretching exercises and ballet barre, and then progress to the center floor where closer attention is paid to body placement and basic ballet feet and arm positions. Movement across the floor becomes more complex with the addition of arm and head positions, and dancers become familiar with ballet terminology.
In tap, the dancers will master single and double sounds such as drops, taps, digs, shuffles and flaps. The students will use these steps to execute patterns and rhythms while still combining singing with their dancing.
In acrobatics, the students will start with flexibility and strength exercises. Then they will work individually on the mats learning different types of rolls, bridges, handstands and cartwheels. Safety is our primary concern. The students will be spotted by an instructor until they have mastered a trick.

Mineralogical Magazine (2001) 65 (2): 157-167.
Moganite, monoclinic SiO2, is a component of microcrystalline, quartz-bearing, sinters of New Zealand derived from crystallization of non-crystalline and paracrystalline opaline silicas. It occurs at levels of <13 vol.% of the SiO2 phases present in sinters between 20,000 and 200,000 y old but is generally either absent or below the level of detection in Tertiary sinters. Unambiguous identification of moganite is most readily accomplished by laser Raman spectroscopy; the technique allows individual microtextural elements of a sinter's fabric to be analysed. Conventional scanning X-ray powder diffraction procedures are limited in their ability to discern the characteristic moganite diffraction lines from the very similar quartz pattern, especially in those samples where moganite is at low concentration and/or unanticipated. However, powder diffraction, using a position-sensitive detector system, allows not only the identification of the moganite pattern in the presence of a large proportion of quartz, but also semiquantitative estimates of the different silica phases present in bulk sinter samples of ~450 mg. Moganite is part of the sinter maturation sequence. It occurs as a metastable phase that will ultimately transform to quartz, given sufficient time or a change in ambient conditions.

2017 Conference USA Football Predictions
TedTalkSports	on August 3, 2017
2017 NCAA Football Predictions Guide
There has been tremendous turnover for Conference USA since the conference's formation in 1995. The University of Cincinnati, the University of Louisville, the University of South Florida, and Texas Christian University all left in 2005, leaving a massive void from which Conference USA never actually recovered. In addition, since 2005, the conference has seen seven more schools including leave for new conferences.
As of 2017, Conference USA seems to be turning a corner, as 13 teams now make up the conference, which encompasses an area from Florida to Texas to West Virginia. Of note is the return of the University of Alabama-Birmingham to the game of football after suspending team operations following the 2014 season.
Here we go with my Conference USA preview for 2017.
Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers (WKU) – If you want to see one of the most powerful offenses in the entire country, watch a football game involving Western Kentucky. Last year was one of the most successful in the history of WKU, as Quarterback Mike White threw for an astounding 4300+ yards and 37 touchdowns, Running Back Anthony Wales run for 1600+ yards, and Receivers Taywan Taylor and Nicholas Norris both earn an incredible 1400+ receiving yards. Of this group, only Mike White returns for 2017, but if he can even come close to replicating his performance from last season, then we will once again see unbelievable numbers put up by the Hilltopper offense. Coach Mike Sanford has the unenviable task of replacing Bobby Petrino when the latter recently left for Louisville. In his short tenure at WKU, Sanford has continued to build upon an already present and growing tradition of success found on the football field. With a dynamic offense leading the way, I see no reason to doubt that Western Kentucky can repeat as Conference USA East Division Champions as well as Conference Champions.
Louisiana Tech University Bulldogs (LaTech) – Western Kentucky had a nearly invincible offense in 2016, but Louisiana Tech was not far behind. In fact, Quarterback Ryan Higgins actually surpassed WKU Quarterback Mike White in nearly every statistical category. The downside is that the Bulldogs must find a new Quarterback to replace Higgins, and two new receivers to replace now NFL stars Trent Taylor and Carlos Henderson. Louisiana Tech has shown a history over the last several seasons of being capable of reloading with new talent when the old stars graduate, so I am optimistic that Coach Skip Holtz will be able to fill those holes. Look for another successful season for the Bulldogs, even if it will be a fight to the end for the West Division Title.
University of Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles (USM) – While 2016 might not have gone quite as planned for Southern Miss, there were certainly moments to give fans optimism for 2017. The Golden Eagles finished 2016 with a victory in the New Orleans Bowl, which is notable because Receiver Allenzae Staggers, who is returning for this season, set New Orleans Bowl records with 11 catches and 230 receiving yards for the game. Running Back Ito Smith comes back as well, combining with Staggers to create a formidable running and passing offensive combination. The Golden Eagles have an uphill climb to get to the top of the West Division, but if they can win on the road at Louisiana Tech, it will put Southern Miss in control. I see Southern Miss improving on 2016 with a solid season in 2017, making every stride possible for the chance to play for the Conference USA Championship.
SLEEPER:
Florida Atlantic University Owls (FAU) – To be blunt, Florida Atlantic was bad last season. With only three wins to their record in 2016, it was obvious that something had to change to bring successful football back to FAU. Enter new Coach Lane Kiffin, formerly of the University of Tennessee, the University of Southern California, and most recently the Offensive Coordinator at the University of Alabama. Kiffin has his work cut out for him, as he takes over a program that has been an inconsistent performer for quite some time. The biggest redeeming feature for Coach Kiffin in 2017 is that Florida Atlantic is returning a powerful backfield that includes Running Backs Devin Singletary and Gregory Howell, Junior. Singletary and Howell combined for over 1900 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns a season ago, stats that are sure to turn heads for all the right reasons. If Lane Kiffin can get his team motivated, then I see Florida Atlantic having tremendous success in Conference USA for years to come. Whether or not that happens in 2017 specifically is up for debate.
DISAPPOINTMENTS:
As a general rule, I try not to include a team from a non-power conference, such as Conference USA, in the disappointment category, unless a team is egregiously overrated or coming off a miracle season. I do not see a team falling into this category for Conference USA in 2017
Conference USA has seen the same team win the conference championship each of the past two seasons. Despite players coming and going, Western Kentucky remains the favorite to win a third consecutive Conference USA Championship. The road is far from smooth, however, as Louisiana Tech and Southern Miss, the two schools WKU has beaten in the last two conference championship games, continue to hover at the top of the conference, in contention to spoil the party.

Q: ldd and chroot jails when lib64 points to lib? I'm following this tutorial and on step 2 they look up a bunch of dependency libraries for bash.  (I'm assuming you would need to do this for any command that you wish the chroot jail user that is logging in via ssh to do this)  The tutorials dependencies all live in /lib64,  but in mine one lives there and the rest are simlinks to /lib
root@dasHost:/# ldd /bin/bash
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffcee04000)
        libtinfo.so.5 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5 (0x00007fddf98f0000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fddf96e0000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fddf92e0000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fddfa000000)

What do I do with the simlinks, just copy them into the chroot's ./lib directory and simlink them like normal?
It looks like most of these are soft-links.
    root@dashost:/# ls -la /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5
    5629499534705713 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 23  2018 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5 -> libtinfo.so.5.9
    root@dasHost:/# ls -lia /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5
    5629499534705713 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 23  2018 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5 -> libtinfo.so.5.9

A: On a Debian or Ubuntu system, shared libraries are stored using a system called multiarch.  The /lib64 directory is designed for biarch systems which support only 32- and 64-bit libraries, while Debian and Ubuntu support libraries of any architecture, even ones the system doesn't natively support, using directories in the /lib/<triple> format.
You'll need to copy the dynamic linker, /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, however that's set up.  If /lib64 is a symlink, you'll need to copy that symlink as well.
You'll also need to ensure that the appropriate /lib/<triple> contents are copied, since that's where the shared libraries live.  On newer systems, those are actually in /usr and there's a symlink, which again you'll need to copy.
Finally, you'll need to copy the actual libraries; generally, there is the actual library, and a symlink to the name embedded in the binary, and you'll need both.

Yes! look out the window! London has ground to a halt. With less than a foot of snow the whole place is chaos with trains cancelled, airports closed, tubes severely delayed and all bus service cancelled. Nearly all the schools are closed and kids are outside making snowmen and being naughty.


Commuters can now decompress to the beboppin' sounds of a big band.
What's the best way to avert a meltdown over late buses? How about having commuters decompress to the groovy, toe-tapping sounds of a jazz ensemble?
MCG Jazz dreamed up the swingin' shelter as a way to "promote jazz music as Pittsburgh's greatest arts export," according to marketing manager Amy Kline. Awesome Pittsburgh helped fund the idea with one of its 2014 $1,000 grants, and by this month the shelter was open for business. Where exterior movie-or-perfume advertising would normally go is a sign reading, "This is not just a bus shelter. This is Pittsburgh's Smallest Jazz Club. Please come in." The interior is decorated with images of musicians playing a sax and bass and making the constipated faces of jazzmen totally in the moment.

NASA Introduces 13th Zodiac Sign: Ophiuchus, the Serpent Holder
NASA says they've done the math, and they've recently introduced a new zodiac sign. They've thrown ages-old astrology charts totally out of whack with the announcement of Ophiuchus.
What used to be utilized by die-hard astrology enthusiasts to plot and plan their lives could now be thought of as heresy.
If ever the New Age advice to "check the stars" before taking action, were counterbalanced with scientific reason, which supposes heavenly bodies have no impact on our lives whatsoever, we'd see we are at odds – these seemingly disparate entities have now entered a new territory of antipathy, or have they?
NASA says they didn't change any astrological signs. They "just did the math," and found that there is an additional zodiac sign between Sagittarius and Scorpio, called the "serpent bearer," because it appears in the middle of the Serpens constellation.
It's interesting to note that Ophiuchus — located near the celestial equator and one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy — is just one of thousands of possible constellations that could have been "added" to our astrological influences, however, the sign, which wasn't previously added because the sun barely touches it through its movement in space, is named after a Greek God that handles serpents.
This isn't exactly new-found knowledge that NASA is divulging either, since the constellation was found more than 3,0000 years ago.
So why has NASA chosen to upset astrology charts now with a serpent-bearing addition to the 12 signs?
To find an answer we can look at the mythology behind the sign.
Ophiuchus represented the god Apollo to the Greeks. He "handled" the snake that guarded the Oracle of Delphi at her temple.
The Oracle of Delphi was the prophetic priestess Pythia, known for her ESP powers.
Apollo wasn't too shabby in his own right. He was quite complex and powerful as the son of Zeus, and Titan Leto. He also had powers of divination and moved the sun across the sky every day.
So, why was a guy who did these Godly feats removed from our 12-sign astrological charts?
Especially considering they are based primarily on the movement of the earth juxtaposed against heavenly bodies and the sun?
There's the odd fact that the ancient Babylonians created the 12 signs of the zodiac to match their 12-month lunar calendar, but the answer may also lay in Apollo's relationship to the Oracle.
(As an aside, the Babylonians are also credited with creating usury, or the injurious use of interest to enslave people.)
The oracle at Delphi is shrouded in mystery to this day. She spoke for the god Apollo and answered questions for the Greeks about foreign relations, colonization, religion, and power. More notably, the oracle existed long before Apollo found her.
As the story goes, Apollo also "conquered" the oracle's temple – only two of which are in recorded history, even though myth has it there were at least five temples of the oracle.
The Earth mother kept her holy serpent at Delphi. Apollo killed the serpent and then tried to keep the oracle's powers for himself. This is why Delphi is also known as Pythia – in honor of the killing of the snake.
According to Yahoo News, the new 13-sign calendar plays out like this:
Capricorn: January 20-February 16
Aquarius: February 16-March 11
Pisces: March 11-April 18
Aries: April 18-May 13
Taurus: May 13-June 21
Gemini: June 21-July 20
Cancer: July 20-August 10
Leo: August 10-September 16
Virgo: September 16-October 30
Libra: October 30-November 23
Scorpio: November 23-November 29
Ophiuchus: November 29-December 17
Sagittarius: December 17-January 20
So, is NASA's "math" accurate, or are we to dismiss the contemporary zodiac? Does the zodiac affect us at all, anyhow?
What affects us may not be so much the calculations and alignment of the heavenly bodies, but what we've accepted as our own myth – what Joseph Campbell would term our "call to duty," or rites of passage.
These myths – insinuated by powerful forces and carried in our own psyches for millennia – outline deep archetypal emotions and hardships we all must face to become spiritually realized.
In an interview with Bill Moyers, Campbell responds to the reference:
"Genesis 1: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep."
Campbell says,
"This is the song of the world, from a legend of the Pima Indians: "In the beginning there was only darkness everywhere, darkness and water. And the darkness gathered thick in places, crowding together and then separating, crowding and separating."
Moyers retorts,
"And the spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters, and God said, 'Let there be light.'"
Campbell responds,
"This is from the Hindu Upanishad: "In the beginning there was only the great self, reflected in the form of a person. Reflecting, it found nothing but itself, and its first word was, 'This am I.'"
We could carry out these creation stories into every known culture that ever existed in this world – and likely others, however, the heaven's and the earth reflect what is within us. Is astrology a science, pseudoscience, or an art?
Is NASA's addition of a 13th zodiac of any consequence? The more important question may be what is NASA trying to communicate to the collective consciousness.
What mythology is being offered for us to confirm or deny?
To quote from Campbell once more,
"These bits of information from ancient times, which have to do with the themes that have supported man's life, built civilizations, informed religions over the millennia, have to do with deep inner problems, inner mysteries, inner thresholds of passage and if you don't know what the guide signs are along the way, you have to work it out yourself."

India's ShareChat in advance talks with Google, and Temasek to close $300-million funding with $5-billion valuation
Business, Funding Rounds, Investment, Startup
According to reports from Reuters, Indian-based ShareChat's parent firm Mohalla Tech has raised nearly $300-million from Google, Indian media conglomerate Times Group, and the Singapore government's Temasek Holdings.
This latest funding puts the value of the social media firm at nearly US$5-billion with the deal set to be announced as early as next week.
This is Google's second investment in India's short video sector with Google previously investing in other short video apps, having previously invested in VerSe Innovation which runs a short-video company named Josh which is already valued at US$5-billion, that competes with ShareChat's sister firm Moj.
ShareChat's app is available in 15 languages and currently has 180-million monthly active users and more than 32-million creators according to their website.
ShareChat was last valued at US$3.7-billion in a US$266-million funding round from investors including Alkeon Capital and Temasek in 2021. The firm also includes the likes of Twitter and Snap among its investors.
The social media firm is backed by the likes of Snapchat, Tiger Global, and Twitter. ShareChat was founded in 2015 by three Indian Institute of Technology graduates – Ankush Sachdeva, Bhanu Pratap Singh, and Farid Ahsan.
Short video apps like Moj and Josh shot up in popularity after India 2020 banned their Chinese competition ByteDance's TikTok and Helo etc, following a border clash with China. India's short-video market is expected to reach 650-million monthly active users by 2025.
