Nairobi 2010 Conference Reoprt  Climate Change and Natural Resource Use in Eastern Africa: Impacts, Adaptation and Mitigation Report of the 3rd Scientific Conference of the Ecological Society for Eastern Africa (ESEA) and co-hosted with the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA) at Multimedia University College, Nairobi, 19 - 21 May 2010 By Nicholas Oguge, Caroline Lumosi, Teddy Odindo, Joseph Ngondi and Philista Malaki October 4, 2010 Summary While the Earth's climate has changed throughout history, the current warming trend has been of particular concern because most of it is human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented.  One of the greatest concerns of this global warming is climate variability and change.  The risks associated with climate change add to development challenges such as food and water insecurity. Although climate change is only one of the many drivers negatively affecting biodiversity and ecosystem services, it certainly exacerbates the other factors such as land degradation and unsustainable natural resource use. There is general concern on the accelerating deterioration of the human environment and natural resources. This would widen poverty levels confronting eastern African countries and threaten gains made towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Thus, the Ecological Society for Eastern African organised its 3rd annual scientific conference with a theme addressing this global challenge.  The idea was to bring together researchers, policy makers and the general public together to discuss the climate change phenomena, its impacts, mitigation strategies and adaptation measures with regard to natural resource use in Eastern Africa. In order to address above issues and to reach out to a wider audience, we designed the conference strategically on three tiers:   1. Plenary talks: to provide policy information and direction, science on climate change, ecological and socio-economic effects, how to commun

Buy Facebook Ads Accounts Introduction If you are looking for the best buy Facebook ads accounts, then you can contact us. We have helped many businesses get the most powerful Facebook ad accounts at affordable prices. How to buy Facebook ads accounts You can buy Facebook ad accounts in three ways: You can buy a business manager account, which will allow you to manage all of your campaigns from one place. This is especially useful if you have more than one person running campaigns for different clients. You can also get an individual ad account from Facebook and use it for yourself or your company's own purposes. This option is good if there are no other people involved with the campaign (like when buying from the community). Finally, if all else fails-and it usually does-then there's always verification! Verification allows advertisers like yourself access to certain features that aren't available otherwise, such as being able to delete or change their own status updates/videos after they've been shared publicly by someone else without having any control over them beforehand.* What is a Facebook ad account? There are two types of Facebook advertising accounts: personal and business. A personal account is a profile that you use to promote something or someone else's business. For example, if you own a restaurant and want to advertise in your community, you would create a personal Facebook page so that people can find out about it if they were looking for places to eat near their homes or offices. You can also create an individual profile for yourself as well as groups on Facebook where other people can join up with their friends or colleagues who work at the same company (like Salesforce). These kinds of social media marketing strategies are fairly typical among businesses today because they offer great opportunities for communication between employees within large enterprises such as banks, airlines, or hospitals - all things which require teamwo

Penetration testing (PenTest) is the cycle to distinguish security weak points in an application by assessing the system or network with different malignant strategies. The weak areas of a system are exploited in this cycle through an approved simulated attack. The objective of this test is to get significant information from hackers who have unapproved access to the system or network. When the weak spot is distinguished it is used to misuse the system to access critical data. A penetration test is otherwise called the pen test and an outside contractor is likewise known as an Ethical hacker. The pen testing cycle can be divided into five phases: 1. Planning and Reconnaissance The first stage includes: Characterizing the scope and objectives of a test, involving the systems to be dealt with and the testing strategies to be used. 2. Scanning The subsequent stage is to see how the target application will react to different interruption endeavors. This is normally done using, Static analysis: Estimating an application's code to assess how it acts while running. These devices can check the whole of the code in a single pass Dynamic analysis: Inspecting an application's code in a running state. This is a more functional method of examining, as it gives an actual view into an application's execution 3. Getting Access This stage uses web application attacks, for example, cross-site scripting, SQL injection and backdoors, to reveal a network's weaknesses. Testers at that point attempt and misuse these weaknesses, commonly by escalating privileges, stealing information, intercepting traffic, and so on, to comprehend the harm they can cause. 4. Maintaining and securing access The objective of this stage is to check whether the weakness can be used to get a constant presence in the exploited system. The intention is to copy advanced persistent threats, which usually stay in a system for a long time to take an organisation's most critical information. 5

This collection of resources is designed to help you master this new marketing channel and develop an Instagram strategy that works for your brand.

In a much-debated 1983 essay on distance learning, Richard E. Clark, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Southern California, argued that it was beside the point to ask whether distance education is better or worse than the traditional classroom. The medium isn't the crucial variable, Mr. Clark wrote. What is important is to look at the effectiveness of specific instructional strategies, regardless of how those strategies are delivered. Last week, more than 25 years after Mr. Clark's provocation, the U.S. Department of Education released a report that, at least at first glance, carries a strong message about the medium: Students learn more effectively in online settings. Most powerful of all appear to be "blended" courses that offer both face-to-face and online elements. Previous research has generally found that online and offline courses are equally effective.

Cyber threats aimed at business are identified by Threat Intelligence. IT specialists and complex tools can read and analyze the threats. This information is utilized to plan, forestall, and recognize cyber threats hoping to exploit important organization's assets. Threat Intelligence collects and compiles the raw data about the threats emerging from different sources. Cyber threats can be truly terrifying. Cyber threat knowledge can help associations obtain important information about these threats, build successful defense equipment and relieve the threats that could harm their reputation. People often get confused with Cyber Security terms such as Threat Intelligence and Threat Data. Threat data is a list of likely threats. For instance, Facebook feeds are like a running list of possible issues. It is Threat Intelligence when IT specialists and exclusive complex tools can read and analyze the threats/attacks. Why is threat intelligence important for businesses? Threat Intelligence is a vital part of any cybersecurity. A cyber threat intelligence program sometimes called CTI, can: Prevent data loss With a very much organized CTI program set up, your organization can spot cyber threats and keep data breaches from leaking critical information. Give guidance on security measures By distinguishing and dissecting threats, CTI spots designs utilized by hackers. CTI assists organizations with setting up security standards to protect against future cyber assaults and threats. Educate others Hackers are smarter than before. To keep up, cybersecurity specialists share the strategies they've seen with the IT people group to make a communal database to battle cybercrimes and cybersecurity threats. Kinds of Threat Intelligence The four kinds of threat intelligence are strategic, tactical, technical, and operational Strategic cyber threat intelligence is generally dedicated to a non-technical audience. It utilizes nitty-gritty analyses of patterns and arising t

What is a Chatbot? Chatbots are computer programs or software through which a human can communicate with digital devices just like a real human. It helps in conversation as if a real human is doing, it's mainly through texts. It doesn't communicate like robots, the texting system works like a real person typing. This gives the end-user a feeling of talking to a real person and not computerized texting. It's also known as digital assistants. Why are Chatbots used? Quicker replies. Problems solving or solving complaints. To get descriptive explanations and answers. To connect to a human customer service agent. Book a reservation. Payments of bill. Buy things online. To get suggestions for buying. Over the last few years, chat systems have become more popular. Millennials prefer chatting over emails. Many people are not comfortable talking on phone calls with customer service care and prefer to chat in the chatbot of the applications or website. Chat applications like Whatsapp have become more popular nowadays. In business, chatbots make it easier for the user to communicate. Chatbots must be a part of your marketing strategy To keep up with the competitive era, automated digital systems are preferred more. The easier, the friendlier. In the digital era, Chatbots are the virtual agents who help the users using Natural Language Process (NLP) and always reply in a logical manner rather than the robotic types. Here are the few important points which state why you should include Chatbot in your marketing strategy: Saves Time & Money: Chatbots replace the labor work, which used a lot of money and time. When people reply it takes time because humans take much more time than an AI system to do the same work assigned. Helps understanding customers better: Every time a new customer enters the site or application, chatbots ask the customer a few questions which help in serving the customer better next time. In the case of old customers, the chatbots collect past

Most business Entrepreneurs and Data Scientists can disclose how to triumph with (AI) and ML, yet rarely anyone can share to fail with such technologies. While the innovation is solid and publicised   there is a lot of ways to fall flat with AI. Let's talk about nine innovative approaches to censure any AI startup to bankruptcy. #1 Cut R&D expenses AI requires heavy expenditure in cutting-edge research, experimentation, advanced computing, and computing infrastructure. Any AI startup willing to create helpful AI innovations needs to spend a lot of money on innovative work (R&D). To scale down expenses in this area, cutting R&D expenses will rapidly make way to failure. #2 Technology Bubble operation Technology is confined to the social condition in which it is created. Technology never sustains itself but other various important aspects. AI has failed a few times since the commencement of computer science not for technical reasons but as a result of an absence of social need and interest at that point. Experience has taught that AI advancements can't be made in isolation from the social conditions that make them important (like medical care, Health analysis, and money). It is quite crucial to first engineer people to persuade them. Before designing the actual technology, visionaries and business visionaries convince them to suspend their questions and embrace the novelty and utility of disruptive ideas. Working in a bubble and overlooking the current necessities of society is a certain way to failure. #3 Prioritize Technology over business technique Only technology isn't enough to make progress, regardless of how strong it is. In the end, Tech startups also need a great strategy to succeed in being a business entity. Any startup that comes up short on a technique for recognizing objective business sectors, generating sales, and viably allotting and spending resources, yet gives need only to their technical resources, is destined to fail rapidly.

How are current socio technological changes impacting the future of work? New technology, global trends, and the effect of Covid-19 on the job force have fundamentally altered the way firms operate and the kinds of expertise their workers require to compete in this emerging period of employment. Despite the fact that we cannot foresee what the future has in store, certain adjustments are inevitable. You must brace for such developments as a forward-thinking professional or aspirant. Gig Economy Gig Economy: The term 'gig' refers to a job model in which contractors are recruited and paid on a project-by-project basis. Gone are the days of doing a strap task from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The gig economy helps people to save multiple hours per day to make the most of the one and only scarce asset that they have time. Employee Well-Being Employee Well-Being is the topmost priority: While more people are operating remotely for extended periods of time, organisations can concentrate on ways to improve relationships and reduce mental tension. As organizations adapt, building mentally healthy workplaces will become even more relevant and complex. Also, working remotely and loneliness could have a detrimental impact on workers' mental wellbeing. Employee morale will suffer if they are not in good health. Several anal believe that employers will put a stronger emphasis on mental wellbeing and employee welfare. Intuitive and Appropriate Strategy Intuitive and Appropriate Strategy: Although meetings through online platforms like Zoom and Google Meet have been a constant throughout the pandemic but this restricted mode of communication the essence of being connected to colleagues and friends has indeed been cruelly exposed. As a result, software companies often rose to the situation, implementing innovative methods to ensure workers involved when working remotely. Nvidia, for example, has prioritized human speech over the context of video calls, resulting in substantial data s
