BBC from Northern Ireland BBC from Northern Ireland BBC

A Russian super airplane bringing medical drugs and devices to India hit by the third Corona wave. The BBC reports from Northern Ireland:  

More aid is coming from Germany and other Western countries. The daily infections rate mounted to about 400.000. Oxygen for treatment and human resources are lacking. One of the hotspots is the state of Maharashtra with the megacity of Mumbai (Bombay) in the West. How is the famous charity ADAPT (formerly Spastic Society of India) providing physical and psychological treatment for handicapped children (mostly from its shanty-town Dharavi)? I am in contact with its staff:

"Hope you and the other people of ADAPT are safe. Please let me know how you are protecting the handicapped children in Dharavi. How is vaccination going on in Mumbai?

Best wishes from Ekkehard"

Answer from Varsha, deputy of Dr Mithu Alur, the charity's founder, on 07/05/2021: 

Hi. We are all safe, thank you. Dr. Alur had started tele therapy and online teaching immediately so we are in touch with the children and young adults. Some have returned to their villages of course.... They've started vaccinating you above 18 now... Most of us have taken the first dose of the vaccine. Waiting for enough vaccines to be available for the second shot. Hope you and Helen are well... And have taken both the shots. Regards".

    Накрутка отзывов: Этические аспекты и последствия
    В современном мире онлайн-бизнеса отзывы пользователей стали важнейшим элементом в формировании репутации компании. Они влияют на решения потенциальных клиентов и, соответственно, на доходы предприятий. Неудивительно, что некоторые компании и индивидуальные предприниматели прибегают к накрутке отзывов. Однако эта практика вызывает серьезные этические вопросы и может иметь негативные последствия.
    Накрутка отзывов
    Что такое накрутка отзывов?
    Накрутка отзывов – это процесс создания фальшивых отзывов для искусственного улучшения репутации компании или продукта. Эти отзывы могут быть положительными, чтобы повысить рейтинг, или отрицательными, чтобы понизить рейтинг конкурентов. Существуют разные способы накрутки отзывов:

    Создание фальшивых аккаунтов: Люди или боты создают множество аккаунтов на платформах отзывов и оставляют положительные комментарии.
    Купленные отзывы: Оплата реальным пользователям за публикацию положительных отзывов.
    Манипуляция реальными отзывами: Например, удаление отрицательных отзывов или искусственное выделение положительных.
    Этические последствия
    Обман потребителей: Накрутка отзывов вводит потребителей в заблуждение, заставляя их полагаться на недостоверную информацию при принятии решений о покупке.
    Недобросовестная конкуренция: Использование фальшивых отзывов для дискредитации конкурентов нарушает принципы честной конкуренции, подрывает доверие к рынку и может привести к правовым последствиям.
    Урон репутации: Когда накрутка становится явной, это может нанести серьёзный урон репутации компании. Потребители начинают воспринимать компанию как нечестную, что значительно снижает уровень доверия и лояльности.
    Правовые аспекты
    Наряду с этическими, накрутка отзывов также имеет правовые последствия. Во многих странах она рассматривается как форма мошенничества, и компании, уличенные в этой практике, могут столкнуться с штрафами и даже судебными исками. Законы, регулирующие коммерческую практику, становятся всё более строгими. Платформы отзывов также активно борются с накруткой, применяя алгоритмы, способные выявлять и блокировать фальшивые отзывы, улучшая таким образом доверие к своему контенту.

    Как избежать негативных последствий
    Честная стратегия: Компаниям следует фокусироваться на улучшении качества своих продуктов и обслуживания клиентов. Это лучший способ заслужить искренние положительные отзывы.
    Клиентская поддержка: Активная работа с реальными отзывами, даже отрицательными, способствует улучшению репутации. Ответы на замечания и жалобы демонстрируют заботу о клиентах и желание улучшаться.
    Прозрачность: Создание доверительных отношений с клиентами через прозрачные практики ведения бизнеса способствует повышению лояльности и укреплению репутации без необходимости в накрутке.
    В заключение, накрутка отзывов, хотя и может показаться эффективным способом быстрого повышения рейтинга, является неустойчивой и потенциально разрушительной практикой. Долгосрочный успех компании строится на честности, качестве и уважении к потребителям.

    I cokpletely agree that home care is a grea option for aging

    Thhis post really resonates with me!When my father needed daily

    needs—it’s about companionship too.
    I was hesitant abolut hiring a caregiver, but it turned out to be a lifesaver for my family.
    It’s amazing hhow much support is available.


    Great post! Home care guves families peace of mind, especially when balancong

    I can relate to this so much! Finding the right home services
    took time, butt now mmy dad has a caregiver who truly cares.


    This is such an important topic! Many seniors want to age at home, and
    live-in support makes that possible. Have you considered tailored care plans?

    I completely understad the challenges oof managing full-time caregiving.
    Having professional assistance can be a great solution.
    So true! Dementia support at home makes such a difference.
    It’snot just about medical care, but also quality of life.

    I had the same concerns about bringing in a caregiver, but it turned out to be the best decision for our family.
    The right support makes a huge impact.
    This article really highlights the need for specialized caregivers.
    Caring for someone wifh Alzheimer’s is tough, and the right support

    The crypto industry is advancing. (Just don’t ask it where it’s going.)
    trust wallet
    After a dramatic start to the year, the crypto industry is settling into a new reality — one in which the White House is laying out the red carpet and promising an unprecedented level of support.

    Crypto, a roughly 15-year-old industry that’s largely operated on the fringes of finance, is at a crossroads. For years, it has blamed a hostile regulatory environment for not allowing it to unleash its supposedly revolutionary technology on Americans. Now, though, their favorite bogeyman, Gary Gensler, the Securities and Exchange Commission chief under President Joe Biden, is gone. Crypto cheerleaders have been installed throughout the government.

    The SEC has dropped several enforcement cases against crypto companies and, starting Friday, is hosting a series of public roundtables “to discuss key areas of interest in the regulation of crypto assets.”

    Under President Donald Trump, there’s virtually nothing stopping crypto companies from creating and selling their products.

    At the same time, the same White House’s chaotic trade policy is undermining financial markets’ appetite for risk, leaving bitcoin in limbo, more than 20% off from its record high in January. And while the industry is grateful for all the attention, the White House’s embrace of some of crypto’s less savory aspects, like meme coins, has given serious investors pause.

    Given the enormous potential for the $3 trillion industry in this moment, I checked in with Eswar Prasad, a Cornell University professor of international trade and the author of the 2021 book “The Future of Money,” about the forces disrupting financial technologies.

    Fundamentally, Prasad brings a pragmatist’s view of crypto that is as refreshing as it is rare in a subject area that tends to attract zealots and loudmouths. We spoke over the phone shortly after the first-of-its-kind White House crypto summit earlier this month.

    The following interview has been edited for length and clarity.

    Nightcap: We just saw a pretty wild thing happen with the crypto summit — hard to imagine a scenario like that taking place under any previous administration. What were your takeaways?

    Eswar Prasad: The crypto industry is kissing the ring, and I think it’s getting exactly what it wants from the Trump administration, which is the legitimacy provided by government oversight, coupled with what is almost certain to be quite light touch and non-inclusive regulation.

    And I think we saw many of the major players in the crypto industry essentially using the opportunity to not just thank Trump, but try to make the point, which seemed to resonate with Trump, that this industry can power, in some sense, a resurgence of a certain part of the US economy.
