Fresh Perspectives – Managing Unconscious Bias
Today was an interesting day at Freshworks. Something simple yet powerful unfolded amongst us. Sindhuja Parthasarathy from the HR team sparked a light-hearted activity with a deeper dimension. It was a challenge, to challenge gender stereotypes.
Objectivity is an illusion deeply imbibed in us and the English language even has a term for it – 'Unconscious Bias'. I remember a research that suggested we all are vulnerable, thanks to the deeply ingrained preconceptions we are conditioned to embrace. We dismiss this as racism or sexism, but the truth is most of us don't even realize the discrimination we are subjected to, or that we subject others to!
At Freshworks, we believe that a successful organization is built on the foundation of inclusiveness and embracing diversity, be it race, religion, sexual orientation, gender or diversity of thought. The most important step is being aware of our biases before we jump into workshops on managing unconscious bias.
The Challenge
It was simple and fun – click a picture of yourself or your peers holding placards of scenarios that challenge gender bias, and post it on our Workplace. The underlying idea was to throw light on biases that influence the choices we make at work, and in our personal lives.
There were only a couple of pictures in the morning, but by lunchtime it was the buzz of the entire office. Everyone was seen holding a placard, and soon we had more than the anticipated entries.
Here are a few that caught my eye.
The click that started it all
And the answer to it…
Isn't everyone supposed to cook?
What's wrong with some pampering?
And trying to look good!
Why should women have all the (par)fum!
Can't bros get together for brunch?
While girls do some heavy-lifting…
And indulge in some fixing duties!
Everyone's game for some whiskey!
Some chores…
And still find time to do it all!!!
I was intrigued by all the buzz and decided to jump in.
Helped me justify my shoe-buying frenzy 😉
Let's not get constrained by pre-defined gender norms.
Tweet, put up stories, or post on Instagram or Facebook with these hashtags #UnconsciousBias #ChallengeGenderStereotypes #Freshperspectives and let's throw some light on this topic.
We're challenging gender stereotyping and our folks at Freshworks have come together to spread the word. Join the campaign! #UnconsciousBias #ChallengeGenderStereotypes #Freshperspectives with @mrgirish & @viksayshi pic.twitter.com/YGKD76wUSd

Cappella dei Chierici di San Viatore is a later 20th century ex-convent chapel at Via della Sierra Nevada 60 in the EUR.
The chapel seems to be deconsecrated.
Location Edit
Despite the importance of the architect, this is a very obscure chapel and online sources are misplacing it. It is next to the gate at number 60, not at number 130 which was the address of the Clinica Villa Gini. The latter was the location of a private and illegal abortion clinic run by a family of criminals, and is now demolished.
History Edit
The Clerics of Saint Viator (CSV) were founded at Lyon, France, in 1831 by Fr Louis Querbes. Their patron, St Viator of Lyons, was a 4th-century catechist of that city. The founder's motivation was to address the local lack of availability of schools in the chaotic aftermath of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, and so to provide properly trained priest-teachers.
The institute spread in France from its origins in Lyons, then to Canada and later to the United States and now has provinces and missions all over the world.
A new Generalate (headquarters) was established in Rome in 1967 in response to this international status, the architect being Attilio Lapadula. He designed a chapel next to the street gateway, so some sort of public ministry seems to have been envisaged (the local parish of San Gregorio Barbarigo was established in 1964, but only obtained its permanent church six years later).
Unfortunately, the institute has declined in numbers since then and the Generalate project proved over-optimistic. The complex was sold on at the end of the 20th century, and the Generalate moved to an unremarkable apartment block at Via Padre Angelo Paoli 41.
The complex was taken on by the Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco after its foundation in 2003, and when it moved on the premises devolved to Neomobile which is a high-tech telecommunications firm. The writer cannot find positive evidence for the chapel's deconsecration, but it is not listed by the Diocese as a place of worship. It is not in good repair.
Appearance Edit
The former convent has two long separate three-storey ranges, well away from the street and at an oblique angle to each other. They are linked by a sprawling single-storey entrance block, which abuts the separate chapel which is next to the street gate.
The chapel has a heptagonal (seven-sided) plan, stretched along the major axis with the odd angle at the entrance.
The fabric consists of a reinforced concrete frame, with infill walls in random ashlar blocks of vastly varying sizes and thicknesses. These are in an unfamiliar pinkish stone, not usual for Rome.
The design is dominated by a very steeply pitched concrete roof, in four pitches which rise from flat eaves occupying the four lateral sides of the heptagon. Pitches and eaves were covered in small red tiles, but these have been slipping off. The ridge-line is angled, sloping down forwards and backwards from its midpoint.
The gable ends of the roof are supported by a pair of huge concrete inverted-V beams at front and back, which are left exposed.
The side walls each have a window strip below the eaves. The back wall, behind the sanctuary, is infilled within the gable beam but seems to have a very narrow window strip in the angle. A pair of wide window strips are below the ends of the side eaves here.
The odd angle of the heptagon, at the front of the chapel, is formed by a projecting triangular flat concrete porch which aligns with narrow infill walls on either side. Above, the gable is filled with a huge stained glass window.

10 Ways to
Improve Company Culture
- Contact Us
- Find Us
- 888.733.5041
- Quick Links
Company culture always has room for improvement, and it should never become a stagnant idea that's left on the back burner. By creating a desirable culture within your company, you may see that recruiting quality employees is easier and that your current employees stay with the company longer.
Talk About Your Mission
Communicate your company vision to your employees. Explain your mission and strategy, create short-term goals and work together to achieve long-term goals. To keep employees engaged, regularly talk about how the company is working to reach the vision.
Support Your Employees' Health and Wellbeing
Supporting your employees' health and wellbeing is a relatively small investment that will continue to give back by reducing sickness-related absences. This can be achieved by providing support, flexible schedules, healthy meals during meetings and, of course, paid time off.
Support Your Employees' Training and Growth
Supporting your employees' career development will help keep them excited about their job. Ask your employees where they see themselves in five years and help them to achieve those goals. Offer learning materials, career coaching, mentors and professional networking.
Promote Teamwork
Encouraging good team-building skills can help increase productivity. By finding comfort in working together, team cohesion can be achieved with ease. Have annual events where everyone can get to know each other such as dinners or parties. You can even take this a step further by hosting fun activities during work hours.
Encourage a Healthy Work-Life Balance
Generous vacation time is a great way to improve motivation among your employees—making it one of the most popular perks for employees. Focus on viewing employees as more than just workers. Instead, look at each employee as a person and ensure both professional and personal needs are met in a well-rounded way.
Embrace Transparency
By giving employees insight into your company's operations, goals and future, you're promoting trust. Trust is truly the foundation of a great company culture. Not only that, but you're also giving your employees a voice and making them feel like they have an impact on the direction your company is going.
Reward Good Work
Did you know that companies that provide frequent recognition also tend to have lower turnover rates? Identify specific behaviors and results aligned with your company's goals and values. Recognize and reward those behaviors as frequently as you can, and encourage other employees to do the same amongst each other. Employee recognition doesn't have to come from the boss to make an impact.
Encourage Co-Worker Relationships
Having a strong relationships at work can help with employee engagement, but building strong coworker relationships takes time. Provide plenty of team-building activities, encourage employees to spend time with each other outside of work and show your support. Think about both the environment in your own organization. Is it conducive to building strong relationships?
Be Flexible
Many companies have begun to understand how important it is to provide their employees with flexibility. It can greatly reduce turnover rates and promote trust. Workplace flexibility could mean many things, from a parent stepping out for a few hours to attend their child's school event, to working from home or an employee taking off work for a personal day.
Give and Solicit Feedback Regularly
Employees don't get enough feedback, and when they do it's often vague. Annual performance reviews are not sufficient enough because it doesn't effectively provide an employee with the tools they need to improve and grow. Try giving helpful, timely feedback to everyone. You can reward good behaviors and results as they occur, and encourage more of the same.
Building a great company culture not only improves employee motivation, but it also has positive effects on your bottom line. Each office will have its own culture and personality. As you consider the best environment for your company, take a minute to step back and examine what that looks like in your workplace.

This is a photo of a pretty little gift I received from a past Christmas. It's meant to hold necklaces and such. I eventually want to have it out in the open. I can't now with naughty kitty and active baby running around.
Why do I craft?
Creating something is a compulsion for me. Whether it comes in the form of writing or doing art, it gives me much happiness and freedom. It's like my brain will burst unless I channel it somehow. As the husband said, my brain is just different- wired differently. I believe the compulsion to create comes from this. If I had all the free time and the funds, I'd have a hundred projects on the go. I'd pursue a ton of new hobbies out there. At this point, I've dabbled in sculpting, jewellery making, paper quilling, needle felting, dressmaking for dolls, watercolours, ink drawings, beading, airbrushing, resin crafts, etc. The husband gets a bit frustrated when he helps buy the supplies but finished projects are lacking. I get excited, what can I say?
For the first time ever though, I am focused. I think it's a combination of having little to no free time with rearing an active 9.5 month old. I'm determined to finish this project because I want to start on the next one. I don't know what I'm planning to do with all the finished projects. I don't know whether I want to sell them yet. I kind of what to keep them and hang them around the house. I have this dream I'd be prolific enough to have a gallery exhibition of my work. I better start working towards converting that dream into a goal.

In case the sheet doesn't demonstrate precisely the same amount in both assets and liabilities, it needs to be redrawn. If you are a newcomer to such sheets and wondering how it's finished, you can search the world wide web for many sheet examples. The best method to read and analyze a balance sheet is using ratios, because absolute numbers don't tell the entire story and don't capture the vital relationships between different elements of the balance sheet and for that reason the company. It plays an important role in the proper functioning and maintenance of any kind of business. It may be defined as "a statement prepared with a view to measure the exact financial position of a business on a certain date. It can assist you to determine whether the corporation is ready for development.
When it has to do with accounting, simplified is always superior than complicated. Accounting is similar to a foreign language. It can be a difficult subject to grasp if you do not understand the basic concepts. So, it is not guesswork as it is done the methods used. You are able to also bypass using balance sheet accounting by selecting a professional to assist you work through the accounting procedure for your investment portfolio.
The second situation to consider is how simple it's to withdraw money from your savings account every time a crisis does occur. The easy and easiet way to find the money which you want, is to boost your cash flow, not your assets. If someone kept reinvesting the money that they earned from dividends into the identical dividend-offering stock at that yearly return rate for 30 decades, they'd have $599,199. So beware before you cover the money. You will appreciate eating out more and be surprised at how much money you are able to save.
Don't permit yourself to accumulate debt till you become more leveraged than you intended to. If you're using most or all your available debt the lending institution will require a mitigating aspect to raise your debt levels. The long-term debts are the ones that need to be paid in a lengthier period than 12 months.
An income statement may be effective tool on the way. Similiarly, it shows the company's growth and ability to produce profits, which is after all the aim of all listed companies. The financial statements always take the exact same form so it's a good idea to learn them early since they'll be used a lot. To put it differently, two totally various money statements are ready for the two totally different varieties of transactions.
Prayerfully, it's lower than your earnings. Income has become the most important part of any financial planning. It is suitable to earn an income from your spiritual work, but nevertheless, it cannot be your main focus.
Assets have the ability to generate income actively. In the template, it's also going to include two types of assets. Additionally, there are the non-tangible assets. Latest assets are any assets which can be easily converted into cash in a calendar year. An asset is whatever you have. The depreciation method utilized for fixed assets, for instance, the automobile is going to be treated as guesswork for some tiny businesses.

Wraps are one of the most versatile dishes ever and so, so easy to make. This Buffalo chicken wrap recipe shows you just how fabulous they can be. With the spicy and tangy sauce, soft and tender chicken, and the crunch of great salad ingredients, you have to ask: how much better could things get?
- Buffalo Sauce:
- 1 oz. unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons chili sauce*
- 1 1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 fl oz. natural yogurt
- For the Filling:
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 20 oz. free-range chicken breasts (cubed)
- Salt and pepper
- 3 cups lettuce (shredded)
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes (quartered)
- 1 celery stick (finely sliced)
- 8 soft wraps
- Garnish: 1/3 cup cilantro leaves
Steps to Make It
Make the Sauce
Gather the ingredients.
Except for the yogurt, put all the sauce ingredients in a saucepan, stir and simmer for five minutes taking care not to let the mixture boil, or worse still, burn.
Allow the sauce to cool, then add the yogurt and stir again.
The sauce can be stored in the fridge up to two days, until you are ready to use it.
Prepare the Filling
Heat the oil in a large skillet to hot, but not burning. Season the cubed chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper and fry for 8 minutes, stirring the chicken cubes from time to time.
Remove the chicken from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Leave to cool down until warm to the touch, but not hot. Wipe the pan with paper towel and keep to one side.
Cut the chicken into smaller bite-sized pieces, put into a bowl and add enough Buffalo sauce to coat the chicken well.
Reheat the frying pan until hot and quickly warm each wrap in the pan for approximately 20 seconds. Remove to a plate.
Then, one at a time, place the shredded lettuce, quartered tomatoes, and celery down the center of the wrap. Pile the chicken on top and cover with a little more sauce. Sprinkle with a few cilantro leaves.
Fold the bottom of the wrap over and roll up tightly. Continue with the remaining wraps.
Serve the wraps immediately with a little extra sprinkling of cayenne pepper and cilantro on the side.
The wraps do not keep well, so eat as soon as prepared and enjoy.
- The salad filling can be of your choosing. There are no restrictions with the ingredients mentioned above. Feel free to add different herbs, salad leaves, or whatever takes your fancy. You could try arugula instead of salad leaves, for example. We also found that a little finely shredded leek works well in this recipe giving it added crunch.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of chili sauce in the recipe to your taste. Four tablespoons will pack a punch, so start with less and add to if you like it hotter.
Recipe Variation
- This recipe is so good using chicken, but do feel free to switch this out with turkey breast instead. We found it works just as well.

BBC calls for costume law change may be premature
Posted on May 14th, 2015 by Jeremy Barnett
Watchdog this evening will launch a campaign to tighten up the laws relating to the sale of children's costumes, following a catastrophic injury to Claudia Winkleman's eight year old daughter who was burned whilst wearing a witches costume which brushed past a candle at a Halloween party last year.
Calls to change the law to 'close a loophole' may be premature.
In this evenings episode of Watchdog, Ms Winkleman tells how her daughter caught fire whilst wearing an outfit that had been purchased for £5, but attempts to put the fire out by her and a neighbour only seemed to make things worse.
The BBC is now spearheading a call for the regulations around flammability of childrens costumes to be tightened up. Jorge Leon-Vallapalos, who treated Matilda at London's Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, said there was "a mini epidemic" of paediatric burn injuries "in certain periods of the year".
It is claimed that Watchdog will highlight 'legal loopholes' which classes fancy dress costumes as toys rather than clothes and this means that they are subject to less rigorous safety tests than clothing.
Until the programme has been aired in full, it is not possible to understand the full extent of the claims, however, on an initial view, it would seem that the fundamental claims of the programme are unfounded.
It is quite clear that children's costumes and play items have to be tested to long standing flammability regulations, currently governed by the Toy Safety Regulations and BS EN71-2:2011 ( as amended) which covers toy disguise costumes and toys intended to be worn by a child in play.
There are also clothing regulations that are specifically directed towards childrens nightware - The Nightwear (Safety) Regulations 1985 (SI 1985 No. 2043), which are aimed at polyester clothing that tends to burn and shrink rather than flame. Conversley, there are no specific guidelines for adult clothing, other than the overarching General Product Safety Regulations 2005 that ensure that all products that are put on the market are safe.
Whilst it is accepted that research might assist to understand if there is a gap between the Toy Safety Regulations and the GPSR, in particular with respect to Childrens Clothing, the fundamental premise of the programme would seem to be misguided.
It is the view of the author that the reason for the lack of enforcement action is the chronic underfunding of the Trading Standards following the well documented cuts to public funding. A number of years ago, there were regular prosecutions of manufacturers of wigs, masks, Halloween robes and the like around the country – the majority of which resulted in successful defences as the companies established time after time that they were responsible and had taken all reasonable steps in due diligence to test their products.
It of course has to be pointed out that the cause of such accidents is the proximity of the item of clothing to a naked flame, yet there are no calls for the use of candles and other causes of such incidents to be regulated.
Most responsible manufacturers test their products on a voluntary basis, so calls to change the law without full empirical research would seem to be premature. Sadly, with the growth of shopping on the internet where it is easy to purchase counterfeit or substandard items, has made the regulation of this particular product difficult.
Of course, there can be nothing more distressing than seeing a young child injured in an accident such as this, with all the following medical treatment and ongoing trauma that will follow. However, knee jerk calls for a change in the law would seem to be an inappropriate response to such a distressing story.
Jeremy is a barrister who specialises in defending companies charged with Trading Standards offences. He has represented a number of manufacturers of toys, costumes and toys who faced allegations in respect of Star Wars outfits, Haloween Scary masks, robes and wigs. On every occasion the charges were dismissed, and in cases where product recalls or suspension notices were issued, they were later withdrawn with substantial damages being paid to the companies concerned. Jeremy often works with Mr Clive Shelton, an independent expert on consumer safety.

Billings-based GTUIT, LLC doubled its sales last year, and looks to do the same next year.
Actually, says company President and CEO Brian Cebull, "We will do better than that, but I am trying to be conservative."
What he is really trying to say is that "the sky's the limit" for his growing and expanding company.
GTUIT is one of the many technological innovators that have helped to catapult the US to the top of the world petroleum industry. A Montana –inspired company, founded seven years ago by Montanans, and developing and manufacturing its leading-edge technology by Montanans, it distributes its unique product to oil fields around the world. GTUIT is a prime example of successful entrepreneurship and the kind of economic foundation that can be achieved in Montana — and, in addition to that, be a "green company."
Because GTUIT technology enables oil well operators to reduce flaring, it stands at the forefront of helping to improve the environment by preventing air pollution while helping to conserve valuable fuels, which makes energy development cleaner and more efficient. Flaring is the often- unavoidable practice of burning gas that is a by-product of oil production. The associated gases are valued commodities, if they can be captured and processed and delivered to market. That is where GTUIT comes in, with mobile equipment that can economically process the gas that would otherwise have to be flared.
Early this spring, GTUIT reached the goal of recovering over 2 million barrels of natural gas liquids (NGL), representing over 500,000 tons of CO 2 and 150,000 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC) that were prevented from being emitted into the air.
GTUIT received the Governor's EoStar Pollution Prevention Award, this year. Last year, the company received the North Dakota Petroleum Council's Environmental Stewardship Award.
There will always be flaring, said Cebull, simply because it is not always feasible to capture all the gases associated with oil production, but as oil companies grow and infrastructure is developed and technology improves, there will be less and less flaring. It is the industry's goal to eliminate flaring as much as possible – no one hates flaring more than people in the industry, said Cebull.
In fact, more and more companies are investing in capturing the flared gas even if it poses an overall cost to their bottom line. They see it as being a responsible company and doing business the right way.
GTUIT as a rule does not sell their units. They are leased and operated by GTUiT, marketed as a no-hassle solution for the well owner and developer. In some cases the units are sold to foreign companies, especially in South America, but GTUIT remains involved providing maintenance and training.
In fact, the focus of most of Cebull's efforts is in raising the capital needed to build more units. Being able to build the units to meet market demand is largely what paces the company's growth.
The primary manufacturing of their units is done in Lockwood by Midland West Manufacturing, but other plants located in other parts of the country provide components. GTUIT can gear up production by contracting with other manufacturers.
They went through the "tedious" and difficult process of becoming ISO certified in order to make such future expansion possible, said Cebull.
The gases that are captured remain the property of the oil well owner, and it is up to them to get it to market by pipeline or truck, or to use the fuel on site.
As much of a win-win as the gas capturing process seems to be, the degree to which it is depends on the price of natural gas, and that price has been very low for quite some time.
Unlike oil which is pretty much an international market, natural gas is a local market commodity and the prices are determined and fluctuate according to local market conditions. Also, there are a lot of factors that impact the practicability of using the gas, such as available infrastructure and pipeline capacity.
GTUIT introduced their third generation modular gas processing unit earlier this year. The units use patented, high-pressure separation to provide cost effective gas processing for well sites flaring from 3-12 MMCFD of gas.
The units, which are housed on two skids in full arctic enclosures, are compact, modular and transportable; which is a strength of GTUIT throughout its entire fleet."
"With the increase in drilling in the Bakken and many energy producers implementing corporate emission reduction goals it is a great time to bring our new equipment to the industry. We can include oil tank vapor recovery units with flare capture to further reduce air emissions and increase NGL revenues. We build and commission units in as little as 12-14 weeks."
GTUIT does not exactly have direct competitors. While there are companies that do aspects of what GTUIT does, no one does it all and especially in the same way offering small mobile flexible units. "In a way," said Cebull, "we have developed a new industry."
The process of designing and manufacturing their technology focuses on making it impossible to reverse engineer it. Technology is secured behind codes and by separating the different aspects of building it.
Being involved in worldwide trade, GTUIT faces the same kind of business espionage and intellectual property theft as do many US businesses. Company representatives are especially cautious when traveling to China, said Cebull. They do not even take their cell phones, using throw-away phones instead, and taking with them no computers or other electronic devices that might be compromised. They don't even allow thumb drives into their building, said Cebull, because there is no way of knowing who was involved in making them and what might be in them.
Cebull is especially proud that as GTUIT grows and develops they are able to offer engineering and technology jobs that allow Montanans to return to their home state, to continue challenging and satisfying careers. In fact, the industry's biggest challenge, said Cebulll is to convince young people that the career opportunities in the petroleum industry are "sexy." "The industry doesn't really have that kind of a reputation," he said.
But the fact is, the jobs offered in the petroleum industry are "sexy." Cebull points out that not only do the jobs pay very well, but quite often they involve being on the leading edge of new technology. They are challenging and rewarding, and if traveling the world is considered part of being "sexy," those opportunities abound in the business.
GTUIT employs 25 people in Montana with locations also in Colorado and Wyoming.

Bottom LineZoho Mail is fantastic for small businesses that need low-cost, decently featured email, and the company's large selection of other low-cost productivity apps works as an additional attraction.
Zoho Mail is a hosted email service that comes with 5 gigabytes (GB) of storage and can be can be had for free if your user count is below 25. Otherwise, Zoho Mail begins at $2 per user per month, billed annually. What's nice, though, is that the free version is actually fairly feature-rich and provides easy access to a productivity suite, an excellent customer relationship management (CRM) package, and over 30 other well-designed and nicely priced applications, all aimed at different kinds of small business operations. You'll find several licensing options available, which lets customers buy a la carte or in bulk by using the Zoho One option. However, while Zoho Mail is a solid email service with a nice client, it doesn't quite beat our hosted email review roundup Editors' Choice winner Microsoft Office 365 Business Premium in value versus price. However, it's close enough to be a serious consideration for smaller business operations.
Getting Started
Signing up for Zoho Mail is simple; you're guided through the process with good step-by-step instructions to help you on your way. After creating my account and adding a few users, I had to associate my domain to Zoho Mail. In addition to verifying the domain by creating a text (TXT) record, there are some additional steps to make other email servers treat your domain in a slightly friendlier manner by adding a DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) and Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record. I found this to be the most trying portion of the process because it's mostly a waiting game. It can take up to 48 hours for these records to be properly accessible from your domain. You also need some familiarity with your domain setup, unless you happen to be in the pulldown of supported domain authorities. Players such as GoDaddy Web Hosting and even Google G Suite Business can make this process a little easier. But, for the most part, it's the same for all providers.
On the email front, Zoho has put a great deal of thought into its email service and especially its client. That has paid off because the company has managed to innovate in a few exciting ways. One of the more interesting features is called Streams. Gone are the days that require a Cc email barrage to everyone on the team. With Streams and Mentions, those that need to be included can be, without having their inbox hammered by unnecessary distractions. It also seems to subtly encourage a collaborative effort for dealing with email.
Calendaring, notes, and tasks are also included. Notes are reminiscent of Post-it Notes, though I found them to be somewhat underpowered when compared to what's available in other apps. It would be better to have this capability fleshed out so users would have something more on par with Evernote Business or Microsoft OneNote in the future.
Collaboration Tools
One thing that Zoho doesn't lack is collaboration tools. In addition to the full office suite available in Zoho Docs, the company also offers Cliq, which is their team chat app. Like Microsoft Teams, Cliq can help put everyone on the same page by letting users create channels in which they can discuss specific topics, share ideas, and collaborate on content. In addition, the Zoho Docs office suite lets multiple users work in real time on the same document—something that even Microsoft Office users typically need an extra app to do. For those big proposals that require a lot of fingers in the same pie, this is a killer feature to have.
However, it's important to note that, even though all of these apps mostly integrate with one another to varying degrees, they're still all separate apps. Zoho sports more than 30 business-class apps that span not only collaboration but also finance, project management, sales and marketing, and even vertical software for custom solutions, IT management, and retail. You can purchase any of these apps separately as part of the aforementioned Zoho One licensing package or in focused licensing packages that span sales with CRM Plus, general productivity with Workplace, accounting with Finance Plus, and back-office technology with the IT Management option. Be sure to investigate all of these options and their costs thoroughly before committing to a purchase.
Security and Privacy
On the security side, I found Zoho Mail's anti-spam features to be adequate, likely on par with Amazon WorkMail though not as thorough as what I found in Google G Suite Business or Microsoft Office 365 Business Premium. However, Zoho Mail tended to be twitchy when it came to alerts from services to which I subscribe. For instance, I noticed that my bank security audit alerts always went to spam, so I had to specifically whitelist that domain. In general, however, Zoho Mail properly categorizes email into spam, newsletters, notifications, and normal inbox content.
In terms of anti-phishing, Zoho Mail doesn't really do anything special beyond categorizing email as spam. This was a little bit of a disappointment considering the significant efforts that Google and Microsoft have put into adding additional protection in this category. In the future, it would be nice to see an additional warning for clicking on suspicious links.
On the plus side, I found Zoho's privacy policy to be better than average, though fairly standard for the players reviewed here so far. Their general stance seems to be that your information is not shareable with any third party but they do have access to your data in case of a legal dispute or other situation where it's deemed necessary. However, similiar to Microsoft's privacy marketing, Zoho makes sure to mention that even Zoho employees do not have access to your data all of the time, and certain protocols must be followed to get such access should the company think it's required.
Zoho does go out of its way to spell out its security policy in detail. The company outlines a variety of precautions that include measures at the physical and network layers as well as specific personnel guidelines that must be followed. In addition, they have both International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 and SOC 2 compliance, which is inline with what you'll find from the major players in this space. In general, Zoho Mail is as secure as Google G Suite Business or Microsoft Office 365 Business Premium, at least on paper.
Zoho Mail is wonderfully self-contained, mainly because it has such a huge stable of other Zoho apps from which you can choose and Zoho Mail integrates with most of them. However, Zoho Mail does offer a selection of external integration options, too, as well as an application programming interface (API), a variety of dedicated mobile apps, and a custom solutions arm. The Zoho Marketplace has plug-ins available for popular apps such as Dropbox, Evernote, Salesforce, and many more.
One of the better integration options is with Dropbox and similiar apps. In addition to being able to add attachments to mail directly from Dropbox, you can also save attachments directly to the service. If you have a favorite app, then it's worth taking a look in the Zoho Marketplace to see what Zoho or a partner may have done with it.
Overall, Zoho Mail is trying hard to be the only email and office platform small businesses will ever need and it's well on its way to succeeding. Small businesses will love the feature-rich yet inexpensive services. However, it doesn't take long to realize that there is a bit of a learning curve involved if you are coming from the Google or Microsoft camp. Compatibility is good but by no means guaranteed. There is also the question of interoperability. Most of the workforce will be using Slack and not Cliq, just like they will likely have used Microsoft Outlook but not Zoho Mail. Because of this, companies that have standardized on these other vendors will have a much more difficult time switching to Zoho Mail than smaller companies that don't have the same compatibility history. There is a lot of value here if you can make it fit your workflow, but test that workflow out thoroughly before committing.

IN THE NEWS: On JUL 1, 2019
A damning exposé from Newsroom today reveals the full extent of the disaster that has resulted from New Zealand cows exported to Sri Lanka for dairy production.
A Sri Lankan farmer, Subhashini Kadurugasyaya, has opened up about how her family farm has been negatively impacted by their Government's dairy scheme. They purchased 66 New Zealand cows as part of the scheme, facilitated by Australian live export corporation Wellard Limited. Seventeen cows have since died, and the family is facing financial ruin while trying to keep the remaining cows alive.
SAFE Head of Campaigns Marianne Macdonald says Subhashini's story shows the human side of this live export disaster.
"Subhashini and her family were once award-winning farmers. Now they're likely to lose their farm," says Ms Macdonald.
"Tragically, Subhashini's story is not unique. Many farmers who bought New Zealand and Australian cows under this scheme are now facing financial ruin. Some have even become suicidal. Due to cultural restrictions on euthanasia, those cows have been forced to continue to suffer."
SAFE first alerted Minister of Agriculture Damien O'Connor to the plight of New Zealand cows in Sri Lanka in January, but he failed to take any action. A review into live animal export was only ordered after ABC News published their exposé on the Sri Lankan dairy scheme in April. As part of the review, the Government is now considering a conditional ban on the live export of cattle.
"While a positive step, a conditional ban on the live export of cattle will not go far enough, as it ignores the millions of other animals exported each year, including day old chicks, sheep and goats," says Ms Macdonald.
"The danger to animal welfare and our country's reputation from the live export trade is clear. When we export live animals, we undermine our own animal welfare laws. We cannot force other countries to adopt our laws, but we can stop exporting animals to them."
"SAFE launched a petition outside Parliament last month demanding the Government bans the live export of animals to countries with lower animal welfare, transport and slaughter practices. Over nine thousand people have already signed. We're calling on all caring Kiwis to sign our petition, urging the Government to make positive change for animals."

Financially beleaguered helicopter services company Bristow Group disclosed this week that it paid $2.125 million in "retention bonuses" on May 3 to a quartet of top executives, including $945,000 to newly promoted CEO L. Don Miller. Other top Bristow executives receiving the payments included CFO Brian Allman ($400,000) and senior vice presidents Robert Phillips and Alan Corbett ($390,000 each).
Bristow disclosed the payments in a new Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company said it made the payments "for the purpose of attracting, retaining, and incentivizing employees to perform at a high level" while concurrently saying that new financial statements would express "uncertainty as to the company's ability to continue as a going concern."
Bristow also revealed that it faces a delisting action from the New York Stock Exchange, has deferred the delivery of 22 new Airbus H175 super-medium twin helicopters, remains unable to file its quarterly financial statement for the period ending December 31, 2018 due to "material weaknesses" in its internal controls over financial reporting, and plans to amend financial statements that it had filed in 2018.
On April 15 Bristow announced that it had skipped a $12.5 million interest payment to bondholders and had new hired financial and legal advisors. One of those financial advisors, Alvarez & Marsal, recommended the executive retention bonuses, according to Bristow.

One emerging lifestyle trend seen throughout the industrialized world in recent decades is an increased preference for meatless diets. According to the most accurate statistics, at least 8% of Canadians are vegetarian. A major driver of this trend is the perception that foods like red meat and fish will negatively impact health. While consuming too much meat can potentially lead to complications like heart disease and hypertension, the idea that meat is inherently unhealthy is patently FALSE. Here are a few health benefits of eating meat that you may not know about.
Easier Weight Control
Believe it or not, the regular consumption of moderate amounts of meat can help the average person to lose weight and keep the pounds off. It's been conclusively proven that a diet high in carbohydrates and refined sugar is a major contributor to the obesity epidemic. Eating lean red meat and fish on a regular basis actually stimulates the metabolism while reducing cravings for grains and sweets. What's more, regularly eating meats like beef that contain high amounts of conjugated linoleic acids can significantly reduce serum lipid levels.
Increased Muscle and Strength
It's an established fact that a diet high in protein is essential if you want to build muscle mass. The reality is that it's easier to get the right mix of proteins and amino acids necessary for muscle development from meat than from vegetable sources. If you're not looking to build bulk, eating a moderate amount of healthy meats will also help you to develop lean muscle. For runners and other distance athletes in particular, a daily serving of meat will improve performance and reduce injuries.
A Stronger Immune System
One of the biggest pitfalls of both the vegetarian and vegan diets is the very real danger of a weakened immune system. In order for your body to create the anti-bodies it needs to stave off illness, it requires a rich mix of amino acids. Eating a few different types of meat several times a week will provide your immune system with the zinc, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids it needs to fire on all cylinders. Ultimately, meat consumption can prevent illness and reduce recuperation times when you do get sick.
Better Digestion
At the end of the day, humans are omnivores that function best when consuming a mixed diet consisting of meat, fruit and fresh vegetables. A daily serving or two of meat or poultry will ensure that your body has the amino acids necessary to generate digestive enzymes. Robust digestive enzyme action allows a person to more efficiently absorb various nutrients from all kinds of food. As long as you don't go overboard, eating meat regularly can also alleviate constipation caused by consuming too many foods rich in carbohydrates.
Increased Energy
People that avoid eating meat and rely instead on a purely vegetarian diet have a harder time managing energy levels throughout the day. For instance, a carbohydrate-rich lunch will often result in a mid-afternoon energy "crash" that can be a real productivity killer. A few strips of bacon in the morning or a sensible roast beef sandwich at noon can help to regulate your energy levels throughout the day. An added benefit of moderate meat consumption is a more restful night's sleep.
Healthier Skin and Bones
Most people are aware that healthy, blemish-free skin depends on a steady supply of complex proteins. What few seem to realize is that moderate meat consumption is often the best way to supply those proteins. Vegetarians and vegans are more likely to encounter skin problems like eczema and dermatitis. Most meats contain high levels of vitamin D, a substance that Canadians in particular have a hard time getting enough of due to the climate. What's more, vitamin D is a crucial weapon in the fight against osteoporosis.
Improved Vision
If you value your eyesight, you might want to think twice about cutting meat out of your daily schedule. That's because most meats contain plenty of zinc, iron and vitamin A, all of which promote improved eyesight when consumed in moderation. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids like docosahexaenoic acid and eicoapentaenoic acid that are found in many meats are known to arrest the development of conditions like macular degeneration. While meat consumption won't magically improve your eyesight overnight, it can certainly prevent your vision from becoming worse over the years.
Improved Mental Health
If you're prone to depression, throwing a little corned beef or salmon into the regular rotation could be the solution to your problems. That's because consistent meat consumption can significantly smooth out neurotransmitter imbalances in the brain that cause mood swings. If you don't give your brain the amino acids it needs to produce vital neurotransmitters, you're far more likely to experience psychological issues. People that switch from a vegan or vegetarian diet to a more balanced food regimen frequently report an improved outlook on life.
Better Cognitive Functioning
Study after study has proven that people who regularly eat meat and fish perform better on standardized tests than those who abstain. After all, there's a reason why tuna is frequently called "brain food." Practically every meat you can buy at any of our three M.R. Meat Market locations is packed with tons of vitamin D and vitamin B12, both of which can significantly boost your brain power. What's more, the carnosine found in meats like beef can delay the onset of diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Sourcing the Best Meats for a Healthier Life
If you want to get the most out of meat consumption, you'll need to spend a little extra time tracking down the best product possible. You'll almost always find better cuts at lower prices at a dedicated meat purveyor like MR Meat Market than you will at any generic grocery store. Use the MR Meat Market app available on Google Play and iTunes to keep track of the latest specials on the best meats and fish you'll find anywhere.

Power supply units are an important consideration when it comes to gaming pc and getting optimal performance out of them.

It is a good way to start off on your custom gaming pc building through consultation from the professionals with hands-on experience and that's what you exactly get at Thermaltake along with the quality products. However, one must be aware of a few key considerations before buying the power supply for the operation of its gaming system, such as:
Do Not Buy Cheap
It is important that you never buy cheaply priced versions or me-too products in the wake of scoring the best 500w PSU because your whole system would be compromised. This tip comes very handy for those specifically who tend to opt for the economical power supplies as these lack the capacities to support the advanced components of a gaming system, eventually leading to power fluctuations, outages, and failures whilst leaving an adverse impact on the durability and longevity of the system.
Today most of the buses in the CPU, as well as the graphics card, tend to be very advanced and demanding when it comes to power consumption; it is hence very important that all these things are being served right. It is possible when a) you choose the right power supply, compliant with the ATX12v standard, b) the connectors have to be rightly in place and as per the requirement. There are many upgrades made in the ATX12v standard based upon the technological advancements, similarly, if any key connector is missing to supply sufficiently to the motherboard then there would be a major performance glitch. Therefore, it is important that your chosen power supply is the right fit on both ends to serve the purpose at hand properly.
Wattage Ratings
Wattage ratings are very critical in scoring the best 500w PSU for the gaming system to have an apt idea regarding what you need. Because it is a calculation of the wattages that each voltage line needs during the peak load hours as compared to the sustained ones. You need to choose your power supply according to the required wattage ratings. For 12v lines, there has to be an 18A supply to generate uninterrupted performance. Similarly, if you are using graphics card then the need would rev up so decide accordingly.
Right Number of Connectors
It is equally important that your gaming pc power supply comes up with the right number and size of connectors to support the system at hand. Therefore, it has to be as per the requirement of your machine. There's another thing called modular cables when it comes to cable connectors which allow you to remove a few cables or attach them as per the requirement or the need of it. This very feature allows you to manage the clutter within the system while making a roam for the air flow, impacting positively on the overall performance of its system.
Physical Size
The physical size of the power supply also matters when it comes to the picking the right source for your system as it has to be fitting rightly in the system. If the supply is longer and heavier than it would be a bit difficult for it to get settled in the system with all its bulky connectors and auxiliary components. Hence, it is imperative to pay heed to the physical size of the power supply as well while building the custom version of a gaming pc.
Moreover, the more you are knowledgeable about the power supplies, the easier it would get for you to make the right decision, therefore, seek utmost information and guidance as you can for a sound decision.

The future of mobile gaming is looking very bright as the technology and capabilities continue to expand. As this technology continues to expand the gap is being shortened between the conventional console gaming experience and mobile experiencing opening up existing possibilities for both industries.
DxOMark did not test selfie cameras before, but in line with the changing times, they have now started doing it. Their first test protocol for selfie cams have interestingly enough, put the Galaxy Note 9's selfie camera ahead of almost every other smartphone available in the market right now, which was a pleasant surprise. If you are wondering why it was a surprise, then that's because there isn't anything too special about the single front camera of the device on paper to be honest! It's just a 8-mp, 1/3.6-inch sensor. Perhaps the autofocus is the differentiating factor here, we are not really sure.
DxOMark gave the Note 9 a whopping 92, putting it ahead of even the Apple iPhone XS Max (82) and Samsung's own Galaxy S9+ (81). Interestingly enough, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 stands second in rank with 84 points, ahead of Apple's exorbitantly pricy flagship smartphones. The only phone which has managed to match the Note 9's selfie cam in terms of performance is the Google Pixel 3, which also scored 92.

EaseUS MobiSaver for Android claims to be the most powerful and effective desktop data recovery software for all Android powered devices and it can be downloaded for free. Is it really as good as it sounds? Let's check out what the software is offering.
3 Step Easy Recovery - The recovery process can be completed in about three steps and they involve simply connecting your device to your computer via USB, scanning and recovering. In other words, you don't have to be a techie to use EaseUS MobiSaver.
Safe and Speedy - The software once installed on your computer will detect your smartphone or tablet automatically, as soon as you connect it via USB. The recovery process itself is safe and does not affect the source in any way. All data recovered by using the software is kept private as expected.
All data types supported - The EaseUS MobiSaver can be used to not only recover photos and SMS messages, but also contacts, documents, videos and audio files.
Effective in most cases - The desktop tool can be used for recovery if your Android phone has lost its data due to a virus infection, software failure, hardware failure, rooting attempt or just plain deletion by accident. Although the effectiveness of the recovery attempt will vary depending on a number of factors, EaseUS MobiSafe can be utilized for attempting data recovery, irrespective of the reason for the data loss.
All major brands supported - It should work for almost all Android devices, but major brands like Samsung, Sony, Motorola, LG, HTC, Google Nexus, Huawei and ZTE are thoroughly supported.
Support for both old and new Android OS versions - It works with smartphones running on the now ancient Android 2.3 Gingerbread just as well as it does on the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Every Android OS versions in between the two (4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.0, 5.1) are also compatible.
Data on SD cards can be recovered - MobiSaver is powerful enough to recover all types of data even from corrupted SD cards used in smartphones.
Up to 1GB (+1GB) free recovery - The free version of the EaseUS MobiSaver allows the user to recover as much as up to 1GB of data, after which you will need to buy the software to support the developers. However, the last we checked, they were also offering an extra 1GB of free recovery, if the user shared the app via social media.
A variety of supported formats - Before the process begins, you can choose the type of files you need recovering from formats such as .jpg/.png/.bmp (images), Word/PDF/Excel (documents), .wma/.mp3 (audio), CSV/HTML/VCF (contacts and messages) and multiple others.
Preview - The application will allow you to have a preview before beginning with the actual recovery process, so that the user can have a clear idea about what to expect.
What you should know
Although EaseUS MobiSaver for Android Free does work and almost anyone can use it without any issues, there is a chance that some of the recovered files will be corrupted. Also, the sizes of the recovered files are limited to a maximum of 100MB per file, which may not be ideal if you are trying to recover long video content. However, advanced users will appreciate the Deep Scan option which allows for finding even lost or formatted data.
Not unlike the fabled Galaxy X and its foldable display, the in-screen fingerprint scanner never really arrived on any Samsung device, in spite of there being no shortage of rumors that hinted Samsung will incorporate it in the Galaxy S8 or the Note 8. As it turns out, even the upcoming Galaxy S9 will most likely go with a traditional fingerprint scanner at the back, albeit in a better place! However, the focus of this news is the fact that it's a Chinese company named Vivo that has beaten the mighty Korean giant and the all-powerful Apple in getting Synaptics' inside-the-display fingerprint scanner inside one of its smartphones.
Vivo is no joke though, because the company is one of the leading smartphone companies in its home country and in India. Unfortunately, this also means that the western world might not see this smartphone ever make its way onto the US shores. In the words of the source, which is Patrick Moorhead aka @PatrickMoorhead on Twitter,
"Here are some pics @anshelsag and I took of the Vivo smartphone with the Synaptics in-display fingerprint reader. The CMOS image sensor is .7mm thick and reads the fingerprint right through the OLED display. The experience was faster than I expected."

RAM amounts and CPU space sizes available on a hosting server are among the most important things to consider when choosing the right web hosting service for a website. As a website owner, you have to strike a good balance between your budget and the RAM and CPU size that you choose. Ultimately, you need a hosting plan that meets the needs of your website. But you must first understand these needs before starting your search for the best hosting service.
By the end of this short read you will have understood of how to determine the RAM and CPU that your site needs.
What is server RAM?
Random Access Memory (RAM) of a hosting server is basically the RAM of the hosting computer. This computer is different from a normal computer in the sense that it has resources dedicated to hosting and availing websites on the internet. The computer's RAM temporarily stores data needed to run an application or program and makes the data available on demand.
More or Less RAM?
From the basic responsibility of RAM, it's right to deduce that more RAM means uninterrupted availability of data and smooth running of programs and applications. A server with more RAM can support more apps or more web activity compared to a server with less RAM.
Having more than enough RAM at any given time is better than having less than needed amount of RAM. For instance, during times of peak traffic, your site needs more memory as many users are sending requests for data to the site. Should the site not have the amount of RAM that can put up with the high traffic, it may become slow or even stall completely, which would cause visitors to leave the site.
Determining How Much RAM Your Site Requires
Web hosting companies look at memory usage in different ways. You may find that a hosting plan has a set limit on the memory usage, for example 2GB. Others indicate that a single user cannot exceed a certain percentage of the server's total memory. When comparing different hosting solutions make sure you understand each hosting company's approach to RAM size.
Here are a few pointers that will help you determine the amount of RAM your site needs:
● If your site experiences heavy traffic, it needs more RAM to ensure that it keeps up with visitors' requests
● The content management system you are using - some CMSs like Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress generally require more RAM
● Static sites require less RAM in comparison to dynamic sites
● The server's operating system has an influence on the amount of RAM needed
● If a site uses caching, it can use less RAM than a site that doesn't use caching
What is CPU in Relation to Web Hosting?
Server CPU (Central Processing Unit) refers to the CPU(s) of the hosting computer(s). Normally, web hosting servers will have multiple CPUs depending on the nature and size of websites it hosts. A CPU stores and processes data, and its capacity to do so determines the efficiency of the server. Larger CPUs are able to store more information as well as process it faster than smaller CPUs. As such, the amount of space available in the server's CPU significantly influences the performance of your site.
Site traffic is just as important to choosing the right amount of CPU space for your site as it is to choosing the amount of RAM. CPUs with little space can get overloaded by many simultaneous requests, causing the site to suffer performance problems. If you have a large corporate or eCommerce site that receives heavy traffic, choose a hosting environment with a large CPU. Dedicated hosting and virtual private servers (VPS) are preferred to shared hosting when large CPU sizes are needed.
Every site owner wants the best hosting service; a service caters for the website's current needs as well as expected future needs. It's of paramount importance that you consider the scalability prospects of your site as you choose the right RAM and CPU sizes for your site. Leave enough room for future growth and expansion so that you will not need to contract another hosting service when your website becomes more popular and hence busier.
When you shop for vape mods at a website like V2 Cigs UK, you'll often see the term "Temperature Control" or "TC" as you look at the more advanced devices. Temperature control is one of the most interesting technologies ever to hit the world of vaping. For those who prefer a vaping experience that's smooth, cool and never harsh, temperature control can make vaping more enjoyable than ever. Temperature control isn't for everyone, though, and it doesn't work with all vaping equipment.
So, is temperature control vaping for you? Reading this article, you're going to learn:
- What temperature control vaping is and how it works
- What equipment you need for temperature control vaping
- What the benefits and drawbacks of temperature control vaping are
What Is Temperature Control Vaping?
Temperature control is a mode that you can enable if your vaping device supports it. During normal vaping, you control the warmth and volume of the vapor by adjusting your device's wattage. In wattage-based vaping, though, it's possible for the vapor to become overly hot and harsh if you set the wattage too high. It's also possible to experience a dry hit - which is absolutely horrible - if you forget to keep your tank topped up.
When you vape in temperature control mode, your device doesn't operate at a constant wattage. Instead, you select a "preheating wattage" that delivers an initial burst of energy to your atomizer coil. You also select a maximum coil temperature. When the coil reaches that temperature, the device automatically reduces its power to maintain that temperature and prevent the vapor from becoming overly harsh.
How Does Temperature Control Vaping Work?
The principle that makes temperature control vaping work is called Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR). TCR works like this:
- A metal or alloy changes in electrical resistance as its temperature increases.
- Some materials change so much in resistance during heating that you can measure the change with equipment that's affordable and readily available. A material that changes greatly in resistance during heating has a high TCR.
- If you know the TCR of a given material - and you measure the resistance of that material in real time as it heats up - then you can estimate the material's current temperature.
That, in short, is how temperature control vaping works. If you use an atomizer coil with a high TCR, your vaping device checks the coil's resistance in real time and uses the TCR of that material to estimate the coil's temperature. The higher the TCR of the coil material is, the more accurate the temperature estimate will be.
What Do You Need for Temperature Control Vaping?
For temperature control vaping, you need two things.
Temperature Control Mod
You need a vaping device that supports temperature control operation. Most modern box mods do support temperature control, so if you own a regulated box mod purchased in the last few years, you most likely already have a temperature control mod.
The mod must also know the TCR of the coil material that you want to use. Most temperature control mods have built-in support for nickel, titanium and stainless-steel coils. Your mod may also allow you to enter a custom TCR.
A mod that doesn't support temperature control operation should never be used with nickel or titanium coils because the resistances of those materials are too low for wattage-based vaping. Stainless-steel coils, however, work for both temperature control and wattage-based vaping.
Temperature Control Coil
You also need a tank or rebuildable atomizer with a coil made from a high-TCR material. As mentioned above, the most common temperature control coils are made from nickel, titanium and stainless steel. You can find stainless-steel coils for many vaping tanks, and those coils will support temperature control mode. Pre-built nickel and titanium coils, however, can be difficult to find.
The other two alloys commonly used for vaping coils - kanthal and nichrome - do not change greatly in resistance when they're heated. Because they are both low-TCR materials, they do not work for temperature control vaping.
What Are the Benefits of Temperature Control?
If you like your vapor to remain cool and smooth at all times, you're going to love temperature control vaping. Temperature control drastically limits the heat that comes from the coil during vaping, so the vapor never becomes as warm as it does during wattage-based vaping.
The greatest benefit of temperature control, though, is that it makes dry hits virtually impossible. A dry hit happens if you vape at too high a wattage or forget to refill your tank. When you vape, the atomizer coil transfers its heat energy to the e-liquid, turning the e-liquid to vapor. For that to happen, though, the coil must be wet. If the coil is dry, it quickly overheats, glowing orange and releasing noxious fumes. That's called a dry hit - and when a dry hit happens, there's no warning. You don't know it's happening until you're already inhaling the fumes. It's a horrible experience.
When you're vaping in temperature control mode, a dry hit generally can't happen because your device detects the temperature increase and immediately cuts power. Instead of producing a dry hit, the device simply stops producing vapor at all. You'll realize that you've forgotten to fill your tank, and you'll refill it.
What Are the Drawbacks of Temperature Control?
Temperature control vaping has two drawbacks. The first drawback is that nickel and titanium produce the most accurate temperature measurements, and you're not likely to find coils made from either of those materials for your tank. Nickel and titanium coils don't have particularly good vapor production, and some people find that those coil materials can produce off flavors. You'll generally need to use a stainless-steel coil if you want to experience temperature control vaping with a modern tank, and some mods don't produce very accurate temperature measurements with stainless steel.
The second drawback of temperature control vaping is that you're not going to get the kind of vapor production in temperature control mode that you get in wattage mode. In wattage-based vaping, the atomizer coil reaches much higher temperatures than temperature control mode will allow. If you want to try temperature control vaping, you should expect very modest vapor clouds compared to the clouds that your device might produce in wattage mode.
Over the last few months, a UK website and the Medium blogging platform launched a wave of articles implying that over 250 scientists submitted a petition warned about cancer risk associated with usage of AirPods. Problem is the petition was actually signed back in 2015, before AirPods were even released. The 2015 petition was related to Electromagnetic Field Exposure, signed by scientists. It cited "serious concerns regarding ubiquitous and increasing exposure to EMF generated by electric and wireless devices".
The petition stated that these are included but not limited to radio frequency radiation emitting devices, such as cellular smartphones, Wi-Fi antennas, smart meters, and electric devices that generate extremely low frequency electromagnetic field. In 1998 WHO and member of UN has established guidelines for EMF radiation on Non-Ionizing radiation protection. Ten years later, the agency stated that scientists has provided no evidence of any adverse effects below the basic restrictions, it had outlined.
So rather than finding any link between cancer or any other issues in levels of EMF at or below the accepted regulations, the scientists suggest that it is probably a good idea to limit human exposure. The petition was updated in January 2019, with no mention of Bluetooth or AirPods being added. Apple sold 29 million pairs of AirPods and yet attract the attention of many writers. Various bloggers are using the concern for click bait and writing about the dangerous effects of AirPods? But does it can really cause cancer for its users. The Answer is No.
EMF risk assessment should be based on read data. We know that WiFi and Bluetooth use the same radio frequencies, but at a different intensities. WiFi uses about 40milliwatts of power whereas Bluetooth uses only 1mW. That's why Bluetooth lose its signal strength at a distance while WiFi can pass through the walls. In case you are standing in the sunlight, you are also exposed to ionizing radiation, the type that is actually known for cancer and other damage. The radio energy produced by electronics like AirPods is non-ionizing and doesn't posses the threat of cancer for its users.
