Liliana's journal: Warsaw 1939-1945
In common with countless Jewish and Polish eyewitnesses, the author describes the indiscriminate bombing and strafing of defenseless Polish civilians, by the Luftwaffe, during the German-Soviet conquest of Poland in 1939. (p. 11). She recognizes the fact that the Volksdeutschen were Poles of German descent. (p. 18). >>more...
Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and Rare Jewish Acknowledgement of the Communist GL-AL Killing Fugitive Jews,
While describing the events that led up to and included the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (1943), the author frequently mentions the many forms of Polish aid to Jews. (p. 19, 21, 45, 59, 68, 80, 88, 95, 98, 136). This included help from members of the Policja Granatowa (Polish Blue Police)(p. 63, 71), which has at times been misrepresented as a mostly collaborationist force. >>more...
Between tumbling walls
This book is unusual in several respects. It contains a diary of life in Warsaw--not in the Warsaw Ghetto before the Jewish Uprising, but covert life in Aryan Warsaw after this Uprising. (pp. 115-157). >>more...
Remember Nothing More
Christian Themes in Jewish Suffering: Warsaw Ghetto Uprising; Blackmailers in Context; Origin of NSZ-Kill-Jews Tales, March 19, 2010 The author's work as a nurse gave way to that of a courier girl during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943. She mentions Stadsartz Schremf, who was Director of the German-run Department of Health of Warsaw. He was sadistic and brutal, and hated both Poles and Jews. (p. 33).
The Katyn Wood murders / by Joseph Mackiewicz ; with a foreword by Arthur Bliss Lane
This work is one of the first, if not the first, English-language book on this subject. In the Foreward, Arthur Bliss Lane, the former U.S. Ambassador to early-postwar Poland, commented: "The Katyn Massacre of over four thousand [We now know of about 25,000 total] Polish Army officers was one of the most horrible crimes of World War II, equaling the barbarity of Hitler's wholesale extermination of members of the Jewish race in the gas chambers of Oswiecim [Auschwitz] and Majdanek." (p. v). Lane's statement is ironic in view of the modern tendency to elevate the Holocaust over that of non-Jewish victims of the Nazis, and the continuing policy of devaluing Communist crimes in favor of Nazi ones.
Polonophobia in WWII Hollywood and Its Legacy
The author has examined numerous WWII-era Hollywood films, evaluated them for their content on Poland (usually absent, seldom neutral or positive, and frequently negative), compared them with portrayals of other Allied nationalities, and diagnosed the reasons for these developments. It all boiled down to how Poles were seen, who had an interest in belittling Poland, and what little capability the Poles had for getting the truth out. >>more...
American and British Investigations of the Pogroms in Poland, 1918-1920, March 11, 2010
I focus on Samuel and Wright. [1920 pagination]. Want more? See the the Peczkis reviews of All in a life-time, and Poland and the Minority Races (Eastern Europe Collection Series).
Western press accounts spoke of thousands of Jews killed in Polish pogroms. (The Situation, p. 57). (90% of these turned out to be unfounded: ibid, p. 56). Vicious Polonophobic screeds were circulated. (reprint, p. 49). The actual death toll, a few hundred, was equated with the Turkish massacres of hundreds of thousands of Armenians. (Letter, p. 53). Kempczynski criticized what might be called Jewish-suffering-is-special thinking, citing the ongoing hostilities between many different peoples against each other: "Yet none of these nations has raised the cry: `pogrom.' Bloodshed, licentiousness, robbery is a natural outcome of war." (p. 54). >>more...
Recently Professor Krzysztof Jasiewicz had a change of heart in contrast to what he wrote in 2001 in a book entitled "First after the devil," ("Pierwsi po diable"). It is a symbolic change of heart of a Polish historians. The book "First after the devil" mentioned as supposedly typical Polish exaggerations in the reports of massive Jewish collaboration in the imposition of Soviet rule in postwar Poland >>more...
Lenin's mummy and the fraud of the October Revolution
The tragedy of Russian history is that the bloodless revolution in March 8-12, 1917 which caused on March 15, 1917 the abdication of that Tsar Nicholas II (1868-17 July 1918) and ended the rule of the Romanovs Dynasty produced weakened Russia and gave opportunity to Berlin to use paid agents to stage political takeover of the government in St. Petersburg and secure the surrender of Russia as well as short-lasting submission of Russia to the status of a vassal of the German Empire. >>more...
Polska - nacjonalizm wyobrażony
W swej książce z tezą zawartąw tytule "Gdy nacjonalizm zaczął nienawidzieć" Brian Porter – historyk z Uniwersytetu Michigan zajmujący sięszczególnie XIX-wieczną historią Polski - twierdzi, że polski nacjonalizm zaczął nienawidzieć dopiero wtedy, gdy część radykalnej inteligencji warszawskiej przestała wierzyć w możliwość osiągnięcia utopii postępu w świetlanej przyszłości.[1]Według niego myśliciele ci zastąpili wiarę w "postęp" wiarą w wydumaną "rzeczywistość": ponadczasowy "naród" zmagający się od zawsze i na zawsze na przestrzeni dziejów z otaczającymi go wrogami. Z powodu rzekomego śmiertelnego zagrożenia ze strony "obcych" intelektualiści ci zdefiniowali "naród" w sposób raczej wąski. Wykluczyli z niego wszystkich, których nie dało się poddać autorytarnej dyscyplinie przywództwa powstającego pod koniec XIX wieku ruchu narodowo-demokratycznego. Nacjonalizm powstał aby "samonamaszczona elita" mogła kontrolować "nowo-zmobilizowane 'masy'."[2 >>more...

We went through the benefits of fermented foods for having a healthy gut and bum! And WOW what an opportunity to meet someone else so passionate and enthusiastic about healthy eating and the impact this can have on your entire life.

The Monkees star Peter Tork died aged 77
The Monkees bassist Peter Tork has sadly died aged 77. The blues and folk star – who made his name with the 'Daydream Believer' pop group – was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare form of cancer affecting his tongue, a decade ago. The tragic news of his death was confirmed by his sister Anne Thorkelson, but details on how or where he died have not yet been revealed.
A statement on his official Facebook page read: "It is with beyond-heavy and broken hearts that we share the devastating news that our friend, mentor, teacher, and amazing soul, Peter Tork, has passed from this world. As we have mentioned in the past, the PTFB team is made up of Peter's friends, family and colleagues – we ask for your kindness and understanding in allowing us to grieve this huge loss privately."
Tork – along with bandmates Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Davy Jones – became a huge star with the Monkees, which was initially created for a self-titled NBC show. Although the programme was originally meant to be about an imaginary band, viewers fell in love with them and they went on to have a number of huge hits. 'I'm A Believe', 'Last Train to Clarksville' and 'Pleasant Valley Sunday' were all big tunes for the group, while they also branched out into comic books.
Tork played bass in the quartet, and also sang lead on some tracks, including 'Long Title: Do I Have To Do This All Over Again'. He also wrote the theme for the band's 1968 movie 'Head', which included cameos from stars ike Frank Zappa, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson. Although he quit the group at the end of 1968, he later reunited with his former bandmates for their 20th anniversary in 1986.
As well as hitting the road with the Monkees, he continued to play with his own bands he Peter Tork Project and Shoe Suede Blues. He also continued his acting work, and in 2017 e appeared in Sam Bahre's horror movie 'I Filmed Your Death'.

Holden Commodore — автомобиль, производившийся компанией Holden в Австралии и, ранее, в Новой Зеландии.

В середине 1970-х руководство Holden решило заменить модель Kingswood на новую, меньшую по размеру. Основой для автомобиля стал Opel Rekord. Немецкая компания продолжала предоставлять платформы вплоть до 2006 года, когда было представлено четвёртое поколение.

Изначально предлагался только в кузове седан. В 1979 году был представлен универсал. Престижные версии автомобиля называются Holden Calais и Holden Berlina.

С 1987 года Holden Special Vehicles выпускал высокотехнологичные исполнения Commodore под своей маркой. Также они продавались в Великобритании как Vauxhall VXR8. С 1990 года Commodore является основой для длиннобазных Holden Caprice/Statesman и пикапа Holden Utility/Ute.

Основной конкурент Commodore — Ford Falcon местной сборки. До второго поколения Commodore располагался классом ниже Falcon. Также автомобиль конкурировал с среднеразмерными Toyota, а также Chrysler (позднее Mitsubishi) местного производства.

С 1989 по 1997 года второе поколение также продавалось как Toyota Lexcen. Начиная с третьего поколения, автомобиль экспортировался в другие страны. На рынке Ближнего Востока он продавался как Chevrolet Lumina, в Бразилии как Chevrolet Omega.

Также автомобиль продавался в Малайзии под маркой Opel Calais. В США четвёртое поколение продавалось под именем Chevrolet SS.

В декабре 2013 года Holden сообщил о прекращении местного производства к 2017 году. Однако имя Commodore сохранится для автомобиля на переднеприводной платформе. С 2018 года под именем Commodore будет продаваться Opel Insignia второго поколения.

Первое поколение

Среднеразмерный автомобиль Holden Commodore начали выпускать в Австралии в 1978 году. Машина была создана на заднеприводной платформе от европейской модели Opel Rekord E.

Второе поколение

Третье поколение
На базе третьего поколения с 2001 по 2005 года производилось купе Holden Monaro. На рынке США купе продавалось под названием Pontiac GTO, в Великобритании как Vauxhall Monaro. Также выпускался четырёхдверный пикап Holden Crewman, шасси Holden One Tonner и полноприводный универсал Holden Adventra.

Четвёртое поколение
В США продавалось как Pontiac G8 с 2007 по 2009 год.

При проведении краш-теста машина получила наивысшие баллы по безопасности.

Chevrolet SS для рынка США был показан на очередном этапе Nascar в 2013 году. В 2015 году проведён последний фейсфлитинг модели Commodore.

Greenwich is ship shape for Queen and Prince Philip's visit
Julia Gregory
Published: 6:25 PM April 24, 2012 Updated: 8:34 AM October 14, 2020
Last minute preparations are underway for the Queen and Prince Philip's visit to Greenwich tomorrow.
There is a hive of activity on the Cutty Sark which the Queen will formally re-open after years of restoration which have given the ship a new look.
Checks are being made to rigging and the last coats of paint applied to stair edges before the Royal couple come on board tomorrow morning.
The ship started life as a tea trading vessel and tomorrow the royal couple will be able to smell the aroma of tea rather than paint.
Earlier the Queen will be greeted at her arrival in Greenwich by a choir and orchestra performing a specially composed anthem to mark the official granting of Royal status to Greenwich.
Musicians from the Trinity Laban Symphony Orchestra and a choir of 300 pupils from ten schools, together with a choir from Trinity Laban College and the Our World Choir have been entertaining tourists as they go through their final rehearsals at Cutty Sark Gardens.
Richard Doughty who has overseen the Cutty Sark restoration said it was an exciting day to finally see the ship reopen after the fire in 2007 which caused �10 million of damage. A restoration plan was already underway before the blaze.
Prince Philip has been involved with the ship since the early 1950s when he played a key role in getting her brought to Greenwich and has served as patron of the Cutty Sark Trust.
Chris Nash, partner at the architects Grimshaw which has overseen the project said: "When he has spare time he turns up to see how we are doing."
"I like the idea that it's his project and he's giving it to the Queen as a Jubilee project."
Richard Doughty, director of the Cutty Sark Project said: "It is a fairy tale to see this ship has come through the fire and now the Queen is opening her just when Royal Greenwich is declared and a few weeks before the Olympic games in the city and to cap it all off it is a royal jubilee and we are intensely privileged the queen is opening the ship at such a wonderful time."
Later the Queen and Prince Philip will visit the National Maritime Museum looking out on the park which hosts the equestrian events in this summer's Olympics.
They will view the Royal River - power, pageantry and the Thames exhibition.
The show features work from the royal collection and one of the centrepieces is a painting by Canaletto of the Thames filled with boats as part of a Lord Mayor's Day celebrations in the eighteenth century which has been loaned from a private collection in Czechoslovakia.
The show is curated by Dr David Starkey who said: "The Canaletto has not been in the country since it was painted in 1752, it is one of the very best Canaletto's and shows the vibrancy of everyday life and the splendour of the Lord Mayor's procession of barges and sails."
The exhibition opens on Friday April 27 and the Cutty Sark reopens to the public on Thursday April 26.

Garda harassment is political censorship
The ongoing harassment of republicans in the 26 Counties is designed as a form of political censorship. Sinn Féin is a legal political party yet their meetings are monitored by the Garda Special Branch and their members are subject to constant harassment, including arrest. Spurious charges are laid against Sinn Féin members and employers are intimidated into making republicans redundant.
Just last week three car loads of Special Branch spent all day on Saturday outside the offices in Dublin where Sinn Féin was holding its Ard Comhairle meeting. Not only is this a complete waste of taxpayers' money but it is a clear attack on civil liberties.
Other Sinn Féin gatherings - large and small - are similarly graced with the presence of the political police. People visiting Sinn Féin offices are stopped and questioned and new members must be especially resilient to face the systematic harassment meted out by the Special Branch.
Munster in particular has seen a concerted campaign against republicans. This week An Phoblacht exposes the extent of Special Branch harassment in Limerick (see pages 10/11). It is a campaign directed at the highest level and aimed at stifling the voice of republicanism. That Sinn Féin is a vibrant political voice in Munster and Limerick is a testament to the strength of the Sinn Féin members in that area.
The political masters of the Special Branch must put into action their oft-repeated words. There is a peace process. They must call a ceasefire.
Internment should never have been there
It has been claimed as a great concession. All forms of media have run nostalgia pieces to show that the bad old days are gone. But the announcement that internment will be removed from the statute books has not produced any great rejoicing in the nationalist community. Internment should not have been there in the first place. And now, all the other repressive measures must be removed. Immediately.

SACRAMENTO — A state judicial commission on Monday declined to punish Aaron Persky, the Santa Clara County Superior Court judge who was widely criticized for the six-month jail sentence he imposed on a former Stanford University student accused of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman.
The state Commission on Judicial Performance, in a rare 12-page explanation of its decision to close its investigation, acknowledged receiving "thousands of complaints and petitions" targeting Persky but said it found no proof of misconduct that would warrant any admonishment or other form of discipline.


Understanding how to digitally communicate is an undeniably essential tool. There's no opting out. So much of how we connect today, in our business and personal lives, even our dating, is via virtual messaging and online posts. Crowdfunding happens on digital platforms and as such relies on language specific to the digital world. I've written in previous posts about how the process of crowdfunding is an open discourse between project creators and backers and I think it's important to expand on how the digital landscape dictates the way this plays out.
Yes, we're all sitting (or standing) behind computers and keyboards endlessly working away but we are not robots. Sometimes it can feel that way, though which is why it's so vital to create intimacy right from the the start. No one wants an automated response. Establish a personal (and brand appropriate) voice straight away and stick with it.
If you're finding it difficult to be natural read what you've written out loud. Do you sound like Siri? Digital forums do require a certain finesse. Even though it's always important to be a mindful communicator, whether you're face to face or not, when you're online it's crucial. As you've certainly been warned, the internet is permanent. Be thoughtful. Here's a good rule of thumb: If you don't want everyone in the world to read it, then don't post it on the internet. Another reason you need to accurately express yourself on digital platforms, especially crowdfunding ones, it that other users and people from all corners of the internet can see your exchange. Everything is visible on open source forums and your communication can easily fall under scrutiny. Transparency is a double edged sword. Communicate successfully for all to see and reap in the benefits. But make a misstep and prepare to be eaten by the wolves.
Sometimes you can do everything right and still find yourself having to address unhappy or aggressive people on the internet. Again, maintain the voice and tone you've already established. But this time tailor your message to address the concern. You might not be able to tell someone exactly what they want to hear but always try to relay some empathy. 'Karma' is a real, measurable, and trickle down part of the internet. So, pay it forward.


Pie Face is fantastically exciting and fun-filled game! Just load the throwing arm with delicious squirty cream or even a wet sponge and wait for the tension to build!
You must hold your nerve and keep your fingers crossed - because this is one game where you don't want to end up splat on your face!

Q: Failed to show the result For my project i am using PHP and MySql. In that i was tried to upload an image to the mysql database. In that i faced one terrible error. My html code was like this
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Learing new things</title>
<style>
body
{
margin:4%;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method=post name=imaging action="upload.php">
<input type="file" name=file><input type="submit" name=upload value=Upload>
</form>
</body>
</html>

"file" was the name of my file upload field. PHP code like this
 <?php

$file=$_FILES['file'];
var_dump($file);
if(isset($_FILES['file']['name']))
{
echo "Image Uploaded";
echo $file['name'];
}
else
echo "Image not Uploaded";
?>

Whatever happen whether the file is uploaded or not uploaded, in my PHP page it is always executing the echo "image upload". i tried without selecting a file and clicked the upload still i am getting the same. How do i find whether a file is selected and uploaded in the html page. why i am getting the same message. it is not executing the else block.

A: Format html code
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Learing new things</title>
<style>
body
{
margin:4%;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" name="imaging" action="upload.php">
<input type="file" name="file" /><input type="submit" name="upload" value="Upload" />
</form>"
</body>
</html>

Php check if file was selected
if (empty($_FILES['file']['name'])) {
    // No file was selected for upload
}

A: Modify your Php script to this.
<?php
$target_dir = "(your target directory)/";
$target_file = $target_dir .basename($_FILES["uploadfile"]["name"]);
$uploadOk = 1;
$imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
// Check if image file is a actual image or fake image
if(isset($_POST["upload"])) {
$check = getimagesize($_FILES["uploadfile"]["tmp_name"]);
if($check !== false) {
    echo "File is an image - " . $check["mime"] . ".";
    $uploadOk = 1;
} else {
    echo "File is not an image.";
    $uploadOk = 0;
}
}
?>

Visible Light Communications (VLC) ist eine Datenübertragungstechnologie. Dabei werden Daten oder Informationen mit Hilfe des Übertragungsmediums Licht übertragen. Die Frequenz des zur Übertragung genutzten Lichtes befindet sich dabei im sichtbaren Bereich zwischen 400 THz (750 nm; 1 THz = 1000 GHz) und 800 THz (375 nm).

Technik
Zur Erzeugung des benötigten Lichtes werden Leuchtstofflampen oder LEDs verwendet. Wenn Leuchtstofflampen Verwendung finden, können Übertragungsraten bis zu 10 Kbit/s erreicht werden. Beim Einsatz von LEDs können aktuell bis zu 224 Gbit/s erreicht werden. Auf der Empfängerseite wandelt ein Photodetektor die Lichtsignale wieder in Stromimpulse um.

Geschichte
Die ersten VLC-Geräte wurden im Jahre 2003 in den Nakagawa Laboratorien der Keiō-Universität in Japan entwickelt.

Im Januar 2010 gelang es einem Forscherteam der Firma Siemens und des Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Instituts in Berlin, über weiße LEDs Daten mit bis zu 500 MBit/s über eine Strecke von 5 Metern zu übertragen. Eine Standardisierung erfolgt in IEEE 802.15.7.

Im Jahr 2015 hat Philips Lighting VLC zur Marktreife entwickelt und auf Basis der Technologie ein Indoor Positioning System (IPS) entwickelt, das neben Richtungsangaben auch Notification und Analytics umfasst. Philips nutzt dafür eine Kombination aus Visible Light Communications Technologie, Bluetooth und den Inertialsensoren von Smartphones. Die Technologie ist in verschiedenen Supermärkten in Frankreich und Deutschland im Einsatz.

Li-Fi Konsortium

2011 prägte der deutsche Forscher Harald Haas auf einem Vortrag auf der kalifornischen TED-Konferenz (Technology, Entertainment, Design) in Anlehnung an Wi-Fi den Begriff Li-Fi für die neueste VLC-Generation, später im Jahr bildete sich das "Li-Fi Konsortium", unter anderem mit dem Fraunhofer-Institut für Photonische Mikrosysteme, das einen gleichnamigen Standard weltweit promoten und zur Marktreife führen will.

Resolution in Support of Organized Labor in North Carolina
North Carolina Council of Churches
While particular religious leaders have stepped into the fray of company/union conflicts in our state, the church as a whole has remained distant from the controversy of collective bargaining and unionizing. Often, mainline churches are host to corporate executives who may be community leaders and major donors, whom clergy are loathe to offend. Some churches remain aloof from so-called worldly or political concerns, imagining workplace struggles as beyond the domain of the spiritual.
Policy Statement on a Constitutional Amendment Regarding Marriage
The North Carolina Council of Churches opposes a Marriage Amendment to the federal or state constitution because it would enshrine at the constitutional level discrimination based on sexual orientation. In addition, we find it to be a highly charged, politically motivated, divisive measure.
Medical Malpractice Insurance Issues
The faith community, when true to its founding principles, has historically advocated for the common good over those of special interests. The faith community has also sought to be a voice for and a defender of "the poor, the orphaned and the widow"… A cap on medical malpractice damages would harm the common good because it would bring greater suffering upon those who have been the victims of medical malpractice. It would have its deepest impact upon the poor, who can least afford to have artificial limits placed on the compensation that might be paid to them, and it would do so to the benefit of individuals and companies of much greater financial power.
Increasing the Cigarette Tax
The question of raising the tax on cigarettes appears to pose a conflict between positions taken by the North Carolina Council of Churches in previous years. On the one hand, the Council has warned of the health risks associated with cigarette smoking, supported measures leading to better health and providing more accessible health care, and called for steps to limit youth access to cigarettes. On the other hand, the Council has long supported a more progressive tax structure and opposed regressive taxes.
Civil Liberties and the USA PATRIOT Act
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, mark a watershed in American history. Never before had such terrible events struck so many people within our national borders. Within weeks, the President had proposed and the Congress had overwhelmingly adopted the USA PATRIOT Act as a means of preventing future such terrorist attacks. At the time, some faith groups (including several with denominational ties to the member bodies of the North Carolina Council of Churches) voiced strong concern about the scope of the PATRIOT Act. The impact of subsequent Executive Orders has only increased this concern
Because early use of alcohol is such a causal factor in teen death and injury, there is reason for the faith community's involvement in this issue. All faiths recognize the importance of one generation training and seeing to the needs of the next. Whether it is through the family or the "village," the care of children and youth is a universal responsibility. The Hebrew Scriptures (for example, Deuteronomy 4:9; Psalm 78:1-8; Proverbs 22:6) reflect the importance of the older generation teaching the younger. Jesus' words also reflect the importance of parents caring for their children. When he was looking for a stark example of God's care for God's children, Jesus asked, "If your child asks for bread, will you give a stone? If your child asks for a fish, will you give a snake?" (Matthew 7:9-10). Reducing underage drinking is consistent with the faith community's long-standing concern for the well-being and full development of children and youth.
Our Increasing Latino Population
According the Jesus, welcoming the stranger will determine how we are judged on the last day (Matthew 25). He abolished distinctions between Jews and outsiders (Ephesians 2:13-17) and illumined the core of hospitality: in the stranger, it is Christ himself who is welcomed (Matthew 10:40; John 1:11). In the United States today, immigrants are the preeminent outsiders, and Latinos are chief among them. They bear the image of God that Jesus invites us to welcome.
Remembering the Common Good in Times of Financial Crisis
In each year of budget shortfalls, efforts have been made to fix the problem solely through cuts in spending. These proposed cuts have seemed most draconian and inhumane in programs to help people with mental illness, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse problems. But they have also impacted education, environmental protection, health care, abused children, and, in fact, virtually the whole spectrum of vulnerable people assisted by the state. While advocates for these people have succeeded in protecting some services by persuading legislators to raise revenues, many of these revenue-enhancers have been regressive in nature, falling disproportionately on people of low income.
The Woman's Coffeehouse of Spirit
Chris Liu-Beers, Former Program Associate
The Readers Theatre text is essentially the words of women themselves who were interviewed in small group settings by members of the North Carolina Council of Churches Task Group on the Impact of the Women's Movement on North Carolina Congregations. Questions were formulated under the direction of the UNC Oral History Project, which will also be the repository of the taped interviews and transcripts. The Readers Theatre is the Task Group's effort to share the fruits of those interviews with a broader audience of interested persons of faith.
September 11 – Six Months Later
Since the morning of September 11, fear and anger have been redefined, inviolate boundaries have been crossed, the unimaginable has become the reality of our daily lives. Even the most measured and peace-loving among us have found our beliefs tested since we watched as the endless horrors of that day piled one upon the other. Our hearts are broken for all who suffered personal loss in this great tragedy, and we pray for our nation and world as we navigate an uncertain and unsettling future.
Race and the Death Penalty In NC
This is a preliminary report concerning a new study of capital punishment in the State of North Carolina that has been undertaken during the past nine months – the North Carolina Death Penalty Study 2001. It is the first major social scientific study of the death penalty conducted in North Carolina in over 20 years, and the first systematic look for patterns of racial discrimination in capital sentencing in the South employing data more recent than 1984. The report has been prepared by Dr. Robert Unah of the Department of Political Science of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with the assistance of Professor John Charles Boger of the UNC School of Law.
As we will elaborate below, the preliminary findings present clear and disturbing evidence that North Carolina's capital system in the 1990s continues to exhibit patterns of racial discrimination that cannot be explained by any of the legitimate sentencing considerations that have been sanctioned by North Carolina's legislative and judicial branches.
The Elephant in the Courtroom: Racism and Criminal Justice in NC
This curriculum builds on "The Elephant in the Courtroom: Racism and Criminal Justice in North Carolina," a policy paper developed by the North Carolina Council of Churches' 1999-2000 Task Group on Racism and Criminal Justice in North Carolina. The policy paper has been disseminated among policy makers, judges, prison officials, and the media. The Task Group holds, however, that needed change will not happen until ordinary citizens, informed by a sense of fairness as well as an understanding of the nature of community and the power of forgiveness, demand equity in the administration of justice in our country. The curriculum addresses itself to adult education groups in congregations and workshop leaders at ecumenical and denominational meetings. The packet is self-contained and requires only that the leader copy some of the individual readings for the number of participants at the session.
Hog Lagoons
In less than ten years, North Carolina's national rank in hog production has catapulted from sixth to second. This rapid growth has been stimulated by the opening, in 1991, of the world's largest hog slaughterhouse, located in Bladen County. Much of the growth in hog production is concentrated in the five surrounding counties. In the raising, butchering, processing, transporting and marketing of hogs, a livelihood has been provided for thousands of persons, and additional nutritious meat products have become available for the people of our nation and abroad. However, when the slaughterhouse began operating, the state was unprepared for this exponential growth and lacked a regulatory program for factory farms. Counties could not direct the growth since a 1991 amendment to state zoning law prohibited counties from exercising their zoning authority over factory farms.
A Living Wage
From the shadows of banking towers of Charlotte and Raleigh to the small towns and hamlets far away from the bustling Piedmont, the much-ballyhooed economy has not lifted all boats. Many people are working hard but are not earning enough to make ends meet in today's economy. For this reason, a "living wage" movement is gaining momentum around the nation. This movement seeks to educate policymakers and the community about the true costs of making ends meet and to require that local governments and their contractors pay a living wage to their employees.
Tax Justice
North Carolina faces a financial situation that is easy to summarize: Tax cuts during the last half of the '90's have left the state with a revenue stream inadequate to provide the services which are expected by the state's citizens and to respond to unexpected emergencies. However, because the state's political climate is less than hospitable towards tax increases, solutions to this situation will be more difficult to implement.
Oliver Wendell Holmes once stated that "taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society." In order for a civilized society to thrive, taxes at all levels of government must be sufficient to meet the legitimate needs of society, especially the modern equivalents of the biblical widows and orphans.
Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Abuse Services
In North Carolina, over 1,000,000 people are directly affected by mental illness, developmental disabilities, or substance abuse. In recent years, the state and area agencies responsible for providing assistance have been plagued with a host of problems, including woefully inadequate funding, unconscionable delays in services, and appearances and allegations of mismanagement.
Providing the needed supports and services for vulnerable individuals is a critical role for state government and society in general. Without needed resources, people with disabilities and substance abuse problems go unserved or untreated. Not only does this create untold suffering amongst the individuals and their families, but it also places enormous strain on other institutions and systems (prisons, hospitals, homeless shelters, etc.). Proper support, service, and treatment can and will change the dynamics of our families and communities.
Clergy, Laity and Child Abuse
Over the past two years, increased attention has been focused on the issue of child abuse, both because of a few highly publicized cases in which children died and because of a bill debated in the General Assembly which would have made it a misdemeanor not to report suspected child abuse. While that bill did not pass, it raised the question of what duty church employees and laity have regarding child abuse. And it raised the issue of whether clergypersons must report information gathered in confessions or other confidential settings.
Resolution to Support Legislation to Close the School of the Americas
Whereas the U.S. Army School of the Americas has trained 60,000 Latin American soldiers who have consistently returned to their countries to murder, torture, rape, and intimidate the poor and those who work for the rights of the poor, the Executive Board of the NC Council of Churches supports the closing of the US Army School of the Americas.
Electric Utility Restructuring
North Carolina's state government is engaged in a debate that is occurring nationwide: should we restructure our electric utilities? This is an extraordinarily complex issue which will affect the daily lives of many people across the state, yet is almost completely unknown outside the halls of the General Assembly.
Understanding this issue, even in the broadest of terms, requires a step backward to look at the big picture of electric power and how we receive it. Currently, electric utilities are monopolies. There is only a single company from whom you can purchase your power, and it controls the entire process of producing and providing electricity. The rates charged are controlled by the government, ensuring that the utilities earn a reasonable profit without taking advantage of their position to overcharge customers.
Older Adults in Long-Term Care
The plaintive cry of the Psalmist, "Cast me not off in the time of old age" (Ps. 71:9), demands renewed attention by the church as the number of older citizens escalates in American life. North Carolina's 65 and over population is estimated to reach 1.2 million by 2010, more than 14% of the population. In 2011, the first of the "baby boomers" will reach retirement, with the percentage of older people in our population soaring to between fifteen and twenty percent.
Children and Gun Violence
Several times in the past decade, we have spoken out about the proliferation of guns and gun violence. In 1994, we noted why this is of concern to people of faith.
Gun violence, especially handgun violence, has increasingly become a cause for alarm in our nation and state. As Christians, we especially are disturbed. The way of Christ is a way of peace, reconciliation, forgiveness, and love for enemies. The spirit of Christ is sharply opposed to the spirit of violence and the instruments of violence. It is also opposed to the law of retaliation or responding to injury with injury. Christ rejected the use of violence in the pursuit of his mission, and when one of the disciples drew his sword in defense of Jesus, the Lord said, "Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword" (Matthew 26:51-53).
In a letter to a friend in the spring of 1776, John Adams said, "We may please ourselves with the prospect of free and popular governments, God grant us the way. But I fear that in every assembly members will obtain an influence by noise rather than sense, by meanness rather than greatness, and by ignorance and not learning, by contracted hearts and not large souls. There is one thing, my dear sir, that must be attempted and most sacredly observed, or we are all undone. There must be decency and respect and veneration introduced for persons of every rank, or we are undone. In a popular government, this is our only way."
Religious liberty is sometimes called the "first freedom." While this is not the place to debate the relative worth of our many freedoms, the simple fact is that, when you begin to read our Bill of Rights, what you read first are the religious liberty clauses of the First Amendment. Many of us in the religious community feel that religious freedom is a hallmark of American liberty and that it has made possible a vibrancy and diversity in religious life unlike that in most other countries, without the religious turmoil found in many parts of the world.
On Special Provisions in the State Budget
Recent years have seen a proliferation of "special provisions" in the state budget. While special provisions are not new, their increased use to bypass parts of the legislative process and to weaken the voice of the people is troubling. Special provisions are items included in the state budget that go beyond the mere allocation of state money. Some special provisions are clearly relevant and appropriate in the budget (example: a requirement that certain independent groups receiving state money report back to the General Assembly on how they spend it or a requirement that part of an appropriation be spent in a specific way). Other special provisions have only minimal relationship to the budget (example: increasing the penalties for drug crimes).
The Role of Religion in Public Education
Disagreements about the proper role of religion in public schools divide local communities and fuel national controversies. Across North Carolina and the United States battles are being fought over school prayer, the celebration of religious holidays, sex education, Bible courses, evolution and creationism. The voucher movement is fueled, in large part, by the opposition of religious conservatives to public education. Many members of Congress are pressing for a constitutional amendment that would permit organized prayer in public schools.

A Policy Statement on Health Care
Four years ago, the Council of Churches issued a policy statement on health care that expressed concern about the large number of North Carolinians without adequate health insurance and about the high and increasing cost of health care. Our concern is especially great for those most vulnerable in our society: the poor, children, people of color, and the elderly. At that time, we called for a national health plan that would guarantee universal coverage for health care, coupled with effective cost control, broad-based and equitable financing, and assured quality of services.
The biblical prophet Amos declared "Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an everflowing stream." In the Hebrew Scriptures, conm1unity responsibility for the poor was built into community structure. Landowners were required to leave a portion of their crops in the field, and the poor and needy were entitled to glean fields for food God's disapproval falls not on those who are poor, but on the kings, the unjust owners, and the oppressors: "God will defend the poorest, God will save the children of those in need and crush the oppressor God will free the poor man who calls on him, and those who need help. God will have pity on the poor and feeble, and save the lives of those in need" (Psalm 72).
The Church and Public Policy for Children
The condition of children in our society must be a special and urgent concern for churches. From a biblical point of view, children are a blessing from God (Genesis 15:1), and poor children are seen as objects of God's special care (Psalm 68:5). In the gospels, Jesus is presented as one who welcomed and treasured children (Matthew 18:1-5, Luke 9:46-48).
The church has a direct responsibility to nurture children of the family of faith and to provide services for children and families in special need. But the church also has a concern for the children of the entire society and, thus, for social policies that affect them.
A Statement on Christians, Churches and Politics
Fifteen years ago the N. C. Council of Churches' House of Delegates adopted a statement on the subject of Christians, churches, and politics. This statement is an update of that earlier one, repeating some of the same points but also elaborating on some new ones. Once again we raise the question, should church groups be involved in politics? What is appropriate or inappropriate in this area?
The statement sets forth some guidelines on some aspects of religion and politics which reflect the perspective of the N. C. Council of Churches and which we commended to the denominational bodies which comprise the Council's membership. The guidelines offered do not cover every aspect of the subject, but touch upon several which seem urgent at the current time.
Violence, Harassment, and Discrimination against Gay Men and Lesbians
Violence cannot be ignored by those who stand in the prophetic tradition of justice and peace and in the gospel tradition of Jesus Christ, who came "to set at liberty those who are oppressed." Violence is evil. Intolerance cannot be tolerated. Silence and passivity by the churches allow hostility, and are unfaithful responses to the Christian gospel. Justice, respect, and freedom must be claimed and pursued for all persons in the service of the justice and peace of God's sovereignty in history.
Support for Farmers by Buying Locally and Encouraging Sustainable Farming
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the House of Delegates of the North Carolina Council of Churches work with State Government in the following ways to help North Carolina farmers and consumers:
Encourage the State to expand the "Goodness Grows in North Carolina" program with an emphasis on labeling products by their origin. Such labels will help consumers know that they are buying locally produced products, thus helping create markets and increasing the economic viability of farmers.
The Church and the Rural Crisis in North Carolina
We must rethink and rework not only the unjust and unwise practices of energy and capital-intensive, centrally-controlled and wealth-concentrating agribusiness production, but also its goals and assumptions, if we are to be true to creation theology and a just, participatory, and sustainable agricultural production system. Specifically, we must use more appropriate regenerative technology and alternative farming methodology in North Carolina if there is to be a future on the farm for many small and medium-income farmers who have survived in the past primarily by growing tobacco. Indeed, without the institution of a regenerative agricultural production system, future generations on all continents will risk the loss of even more of the scarce arable land, forests, species, aquifers, and energy sources at a time when the global population will be doubling every generation.

We Come Together by Working Together
The history of the North Carolina Council of Churches is the story of persons, religious leaders struggling to respond in faith to the signs of their times. Sometimes the signs could be clearly read; at other times they had to be discerned through a glass darkly. The records show that the leaders would prefer to be measured in terms of the fullheartedness of their responses rather than the accuracy of their discernment, in terms of their deeds rather than their words. This document outlines the first fifty years of the Council's work in North Carolina.
Moral Dimensions of Tobacco
The Study Committee on Tobacco was formed by the NC Council of Churches in response to a dilemma faced by the citizens of NC. On the one hand, mounting medical evidence links the use of tobacco with numerous health problems. On the other hand, the long established tobacco economy is threatened. The tendency in NC has been to avoid or ignore the dilemma. Farmers, agribusiness people, manufacturers and distributors of tobacco products, as well as state officials, have found it difficult to deal directly with he crisis precipitated by the increasing pressure of negative health data.

Arsenal after Marseille teenager André Ayew
Everyone knows about the sharp eye that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has when it comes to scouting for the best young talents in Europe. He is rarely, if ever, wrong and the plethora of foreign players who have graduated from the Arsenal youth academy testify to Wenger's hawk-eye vision.
So when Goal.com reports that Wenger is now eyeing the Olympique Marseille teenager André Ayew, you can rest assured that we all are in for a treat in the future. Ayew is an 18-year old fearsome left-footed striker who broke into the first team at Marseille only this season and is currently on international duty for Ghana at the African Cup of Nations. Sources close to Wenger have been reported to reveal that Wenger is impressed by what he has seen on Ayew so far and is likely to recruit him soon.
Oh, a little bit of trivia for you pertaining to the player. André Ayew is the son of Abedi Pele. And now, please don't ask me who Abedi Pele is…..

Great Flavor! Everyone enjoyed it. I did substitute water chestnuts for the mushrooms.
Took a while, but turned out really yummy! Added some peanuts for an extra crunch. Would make it again!
This pork and garlic stirfry was great, a little on the sweet side, but nothing adding a little bit more sriracha sauce didn't fix.
Delicious. Will be making this one again.


This blog is continuation from part 1. Some features not really directly access Salesforce data, but it help admin in analysing data downloaded from Salesforce to Ms Excel.
This is very simple feature which will do convert Salesforce Id from 15 to 18 characters. Please not that both Id (15 and 18) are valid Id. So, what is the different?
- 15 character Id is case-sensitive, where when you work in Ms Excel function, such as VLOOKUP(), it will not check case sensitivity and cause duplication.
- 18 character Id is case-insensitive, so it is easier when work in Ms Excel.
You just need to select a cell or row of cells with 15 IDs character and the result of 18 characters ID will overwrite the original 18 characters IDs.
This is another simple feature to compare value of cells in 2 columns, you can choose for case-sensitive or case-insensitive. This tool will not compare value of cell in order.
In Setting, you can adjust batch size of update, insert and delete separately. Also path of log file and it will you if any new version available.
Heard about Field Trip app in AppExchange? This feature is almost similar, but you do not need to install anything in your Salesforce.
This is pretty cool feature for new developer interested to learn Visualforce page. It will create a visualforce markup file from a page layout in Salesforce.
For those of you have hundreds of fields in many custom objects, do you wish if you search any of them easily without have to go through each object? If yes, you have to mostly welcome Summer '14 release.
If you have enable Enable Advanced Setup Search (Beta), from Setup - Customize - Activities - User Interface, and fine it in Advanced section.
Before Summer '14 release, if you have Enable Advanced Setup Search (Beta), when user type in the setup search box, user immediately see menu pages whose names match what you're typing.
When you press Enter, you'll see a page listing any matching Groups, Permission Sets, Profiles, Users, and Roles.
Good news from Summer '14 release onwards, the search result will include Custom Field and Custom Object.
With custom object search, you can find the custom object definition you need immediately by typing in at least two letters of its name. For example, searching for "ex" returns "Exam," "Expense," "Expertise," and so on.
For Salesforce.com user, most of us should know and use Chatter for collaboration. But, if user do not need to access CRM or Force.com app built in your company, admin can assign user with Chatter Free license. Salesforce give 5000 Chatter Free licenses and 500 Chatter External licenses.
By default, you will see 2 profile for Chatter Free license: Chatter Moderator User and Chatter Free User. Both profiles dedicated only for Chatter users without access to any Salesforce or Force.com objects and cannot be reference as User lookup field. In profile setting Administrative Permissions, both profiles only able to customize Invite Customers To Chatter. If you notice, the different between this two profile is Moderate Chatter permission and Password Never Expires.
Here we will discuss what is Moderate Chatter permission? You can tell if someone is a moderator by the special banner on their profile picture.
Red arrow in screenshot above will give Chatter Free user with Moderator privilege, this will automatically change user profile to Chatter Moderator User.
Above screenshot taken from a Chatter group, where user is not Owner or Manager of the group, but since he has Moderator privilege, user can delete a post or comment.
But, moderator is not system administrator with View All Data permission, moderator not able to see Private Group, so for Private Group, moderator need permission to join / access a private Chatter Group.
If you enable Customer Invitations from Setup - Customize - Chatter - Settings - Allow Customer Invitations, you will see another profile called Chatter External User.
This profile is designed for external user, so you can invite your customers join your company Chatter and collaborate with internal employee.
You can set Chatter External User as Manager of a group, but you can limit their permission not to invite user from Profile Setting.
If you are not aware, in Salesforce we can post a snapshot of a dashboard component to Chatter feed, whether to a User or Chatter Group or to Dashboard feed. A snapshot is a static image of a dashboard component at a specific point of time when the dashboard last refresh.
Posting a dashboard component to a group is a good practice to share and collaborate with team member. While posting to dashboard feed will help us to follow changes of the data in the dashboard.
If you have enable both option above, go back to your dashboard and make sure the page is refresh.
Screenshot below taken when step (2) has not enabled, notice you will see 1 option only.
This screenshot after enable step (2), notice it has option to post snapshot to User or Group feed.
Here is the screenshot post to Dashboard feed and to Chatter Group.
So, you just roll-out Salesforce1 for your internal company usage, congratulations!!! Next step is to monitor your user adoption and present it to the management team.
Bad thing, in the user login report, you cannot identified which login is coming from Salesforce1. Work around, you can download Login History into CSV file and using Ms Excel to filter Application contain Salesforce1. It is pretty complex using Login History and you cannot run it as a report to use it as source for Dashboard and present it your management team.
•  Enter the following values.
•  Report Type Name: this field will be automatically populated based on Label, just skip it.
•  Description: Give a useful description that other user will understand in the future.
•  Store in Category: Pick a category for this report; such as Administrative Reports.
•  Deployment Status: Keep as In Development until ready to deploy this report for other users.
•  Keep A to B Relationship to default "Each "A" record must have at least one related "B" record"
•  In Administrative Reports, select Login History with Identity and click Create.
•  Give the report a name, such as: Salesforce1 Adoption.
As this is a normal report, you can adjust the Time Frame.
Another example of report below, App: Connected App Name tell you each transaction of login attempt or re-authenticate attempt from Salesforce1 app from iOS or Android devices.
Using the "Power of One", you can easily count how many users login to Salesforce1 app from iOS and Android device, then add a simple chart to the report. In sample below, it show number users for Android = 34 and iOS = 276, with total of 305 users. This mean 29 (34 - 5) users using Android only, 271 (276 - 5) users on iOS only and 5 users are using both Android and iOS devices to access Salesforce1.
If you need to do further analysis, you can download the CSV file and use Pivot Table in Ms Excel.
Anyway, this only work in Enterprise edition and above (included Unlimited and Performance edition), so if you are using Professional edition, this is not applicable and hope Salesforce will implement Salesforce Identity for Professional edition in the future.
Picklist field is very commonly used in Salesforce. User can easily select a value from picklist, while for admin, it give better data quality, because user cannot just anyhow type in picklist.
But one day, we may have requirement to change existing picklist value with a new one, maybe for Classification from Bug to Defect. Depends on the requirement, you may need to leave all existing data with old value or change existing value to new value.
Click New button to add New values (some fields such as Opportunity Stage, you need to enter Stage Name, Type, Probability, and Forecast Category).
Click Replace button and type the exact value you want to change in 'Exact Value Changing From', and select replacement value created above.
For custom field and some standard field, you will see "Replace all blank values" checkbox to update picklist field without value with a value.
Once done, you can delete the old picklist value.
This is a global change and will replace the picklist value for all existing records, including records in the Recycle Bin.
This will update the Modified By date and time for all records where the value was replaced.
Go to a picklist value and click Edit link, then type in the new value. But some picklist fields, example: Opportunity Stage, it will not allow editing of the name, so have to use option no. 1 above.
All existing records value will be updated with new values.
This will NOT update the Modified By date and time.
Hide the old value (if you have record type, or dependent picklist) or delete the value.
Extra: delete a value in picklist will not change existing values for the record with that value.
1st May 2014 marked a new milestone for my journey with Salesforce. I am honored to announce I am now a Salesforce MVP, and the first for Singapore.
I started my journey with salesforce.com as a developer with a consulting firm in September 2004. This means (in the next few months), I'll be celebrating my 10th year within the salesforce.com community.
As time passes by, I've seen my career grow from being a developer to a consultant. Two years ago I joined a US MNC as a Business System Analyst based in Singapore, still within the salesforce.com community.
Why do I like Salesforce? As an admin or developer, I do not need to worry about maintaining servers, databases, backup and patches because everything is in the cloud. I can access Salesforce from anywhere, on any device through the Salesforce1 mobile app.
My passion and enthusiasm for salesforce.com products has increased my willingness to learn, grow and share with the community. Salesforce Answers Community is a place where I spend my free time. This is a place where members can ask questions about Salesforce. I stay active in the community and it helps me to learn more about Salesforce. I can learn more about the requirements, solutions and best practice of other members. If my organisation has similar requirements, I will already know a possible solution. Staying active in this community helps me to prepare to take Salesforce Certifications, right now I hold 3 active Salesforce/Force.com certifications.
Around early 2013, I attended a local Singapore Salesforce User Group, and it was great to meet up with people with the same passion. Since that very first meeting, I have not missed a single user group meeting. In mid-2013, I became a user group co-leader to run and grow the community, and now we have more than 300 members and it keeps growing.
To be selected as an MVP is a dream come true. It's for anyone with the heart and passion to help each other - by writing blog posts,using social media, being active in the Success Community, andparticipating in local user groups. With my new status as MVP, I hope I can do more for my company and the Salesforce.com community.
This blog is continuation of my previous blog about Lookup Auto-Completion. Beside Auto-Lookup, Salesforce also have Enhanced Lookup feature, and this is also not enable by default. Currently only account, contact, user, and custom object lookups can use this feature.
How to enable it? Go to: Setup - Customize - Search - Search Settings, scroll down to Lookup Settings and check objects that you need to enable for Enhanced Lookups.
What is the 'extra' when enable this feature?
Ability to modify columns shown in the search result, to modify available columns in lookup result, go to Search Results in the object Search Layouts menu.
This is the same auto-completion, only the parent object (not child object) need to enable for enhanced lookups.
Many of us may not aware that Salesforce have Auto-Complete feature, it is a simple feature for someone, but for many, this feature help a lot for daily works.
By default it is not enable, so admin need to activate it manually, although it is pretty easy. The setup is buried deep inside Setup menu. Here we go: Setup - Customize - Search - Search Settings. Scroll down to Lookup Settings and look for objects that you need enable for auto-completion then check Lookup Auto-Completion for the objects.
Admin have to manually enable objects for auto-completion. So, when a lookup field created, the parent object (not child object) need to enable for auto-lookup.
It only work for both Master-Detail and Lookup relationship, not for text field or other.
It displays suggestions from My Recent Items list as you type, but recent items here is not limited to the items in side bar, but including in recent tab and list view.
It will catch character in a word start with, so for example: when you type ed, it will catch Kia Edan and edwin, but not medan.
After turn it on, when user type a character it will show recent record from parent object.
Background: a user complain that she get error when edit a record to a lookup record, the same error she got when try to create a new record from related list, both objects are custom object.
We request user to send the screenshot with error message: Insufficient Privileges - You do not have the level of access necessary to perform the operation you requested. Please contact the owner of the record or your administrator if access is necessary.
Further check, we conclude this error only happen to lookup records not editable by user, so this is related to the role hierarchy, but why it not allow user to just link a child record to that parent, where the sharing setting for the parent/lookup object is Read-Only.
A quick thought, is there any Roll-Up summary field in parent to that child? If yes, this lookup will do 'edit' activity to parent -- negative, no Roll-Up summary field in parent to that child.
Finally: we found the issue: this is because Master-Detail field in the child object to parent is set to Sharing Setting = Read/Write: Allows users with at least Read/Write access to the Master record to create, edit, or delete related Detail records.
Once, we change this to Read Only, everything is working well.
This is my first time attending Salesforce MVP summit. This is the 2nd summit, where 1st summit happened last year.
Yesterday, we end a two full impressive days of Salesforce MVP Summit. Salesforce flew all Salesforce & Force.com MVP from around the world to beautiful city San Francisco. I met many familiar person and familiar name in real person, where we used to met virtually in Salesforce Success Community and just see their small photo in the Chatter Community, from the legendary Steve Molis, Jeff May, Dan Appleman, my Summit buddy Alex Sutherland and many more.
The summit take place in a luxury hotel in the heart of San Francisco. A box with my name come to my room 5 minutes after I check-in. It come with summit agenda and cool Salesforce MVP stuffs, from: jacket, sneaker to cool shades.
We are presented many good stuff by Salesforce product mangers and executives, a sneak peak of what's coming next on the platform. As we are under NDA not to disclose any, nothing allow to share to public. I only can say Salesforce.com is keep innovating and hearing to our feedback.
So, now I am in SFO airport ready for a long flight back to home, sunny Singapore. Last words, thanks to Salesforce.com for arranging this great summit and especially to Matt and Erica - #awesome !!!

Zoho Touts 15 Million Users on Its Enterprise Collaboration Platform, Sees Surge in Businesses Moving Away From Siloed Tools
Zoho Workplace, a platform that boasts nine integrated collaboration, communication and productivity applications, experiences unprecedented adoption from customers replacing Slack, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and G Suite
(Photo: Business Wire)
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zoho Corporation, a global technology company offering the most comprehensive suite of business software applications in the industry, today shared the latest adoption numbers on Zoho Workplace, its enterprise collaboration platform. In the last quarter, Zoho Workplace has seen a dramatic increase in adoption and now supports 15 million users globally. The company explained this unprecedented growth as a consequence of the pandemic as well as high demand from business users seeking better business application integration. More than 25 percent of new Zoho Workplace customers have made the decision to switch over from G Suite and Microsoft.
Business users are increasingly seeking a convergence of collaboration, productivity, business, and communications tools as indicated by a recent study by Beagle Research. According to the study, 67.2 percent of respondents across North America felt that their work is chaotic due to non-integrated systems. Zoho Workplace uniquely fills this gap as competitors such as Zoom, Dropbox, and Slack fail to provide a seamless experience from start to finish. In addition, platform-centric competitors such as Microsoft and Google do not easily support contextual work environments where collaboration needs to happen within business applications.
"Collaboration apps too often don't collaborate. Today, you use one vendor for chat, another for email, one more for meeting, another for managing documents and office suite etc. Each vendor sells its own nicely branded silo. This approach to collaboration is deeply flawed," said Raju Vegesna, Chief Evangelist, Zoho Corporation. "Just like collaboration happens in the context of a business, collaboration tools should show up in the context of business apps. You simply cannot separate the two which is why we started building Zoho apps 15 years ago with this philosophy. Customers are rightly questioning the counter-productive nature of siloed collaboration tools that are being duck-taped at the top."
Zoho Workplace provides a unified platform including email, chat, audio and video conferencing, shared file storage, and online office suite that enhance the productivity of employees, anywhere. It is an online workspace that allows users to intuitively and securely work together, meet, collaborate and accomplish goals in a contextual setting. The platform includes:
Zoho Mail: Custom domain-based, secure business email with Calendar, Tasks, Notes and Bookmarks.
Zoho Cliq: Secure instant messaging with audio and video call capabilities. Zoho Cliq has seen a 225 percent increase in messages sent and 1200 percent increase in calls made per day since March.
Zoho Meeting: Online meeting and conferencing application. Zoho Meeting has seen a 772 percent increase in meeting sessions since March.
Zoho ShowTime: Online training and virtual classroom solution. Usage has increased 1100 percent since March.
Zoho Connect: Intranet for organization and organization specific social-media platform for employees.
Zoho Office Suite: Online office suite with enhanced co-creating, reviewing and collaboration features. Suite includes Zoho Writer, Zoho Sheet, and Zoho Show.
Zoho WorkDrive: Cloud storage for the entire organization with ability to share files securely. Usage has increased 300 percent since March.
Zoho Workplace enables single sign-on across these applications where work streams follow users as they move from screen to screen. This convergence of business, communication, productivity, and collaboration applications allows users to effectively work in context within teams, across their organization or with external stakeholders. Zia and Zia Search boost user productivity as AI and search work across all 9 apps on the platform. Instead of having to extract data across multiple solutions, users can complete projects, from start to finish, all on Zoho. IIFL, Worldwide Golf Shop, Equitas Bank, India Cements, and Don Franklin Auto have chosen Zoho Workplace instead of other solutions because they require tight integration across their enterprise collaboration and business applications.
Zoho Privacy Pledge
Zoho Workplace also ensures a level of confidentiality that no other vendors in this space can guarantee. Zoho does not allow any third-party trackers to monitor usage behavior and never sells any data to ad-based companies. Because Zoho owns, and has built its entire technology stack, the company is able to offer the most secure experience to its 50 million users without any compromise on data privacy. Zoho Workplace users have the assurance that their data is confidential and protected, and only users themselves maintain ownership of that data.
"Zoho Workplace has an entire ecosystem that is required by any company. It simplifies things if you have one vendor delivering a gamut of high quality products. Also, the applications are fully integrated and much easier to adopt in a wide range of business cases," said Neelay Shah, Group CRM Head, IIFL and 5Paisa. "Previously, we were dealing with too many vendors providing different solutions. Integrating with such systems, especially when data size and security is important, was very complex, and vendor management was becoming a time-consuming affair."
About Zoho
With 45+ apps in nearly every major business category, including sales, marketing, customer support, accounting and back office operations, and an array of productivity and collaboration tools, Zoho Corporation is one of the world's most prolific software companies.
Zoho is privately held and profitable with more than 8,000 employees. Zoho is headquartered in Austin, Texas with international headquarters in Chennai, India. Additional offices are in the United States, India, Japan, China, Singapore, Mexico, Australia, the Netherlands, and the United Arab Emirates.
Zoho respects user privacy and does not have an ad-revenue model in any part of its business, including its free products. More than 50 million users around the world, across hundreds of thousands of companies, rely on Zoho every day to run their businesses, including Zoho itself.
