8 Deals for National Ice Cream Day 2018
Life is too short not to enjoy ice cream, right? Well, we Americans do love ice cream. With July being National Ice Cream Month—and July 15 being National Ice Cream Day—now is a great time to talk about all things ice cream.
According to the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), Americans enjoy more than 23 pounds of ice cream each year. Those that cannot indulge in dairy-based ice cream needn't miss out on the delicious fun. Brands like Halo Top and So Delicious make incredible frozen confections using coconut milk and other dairy substitutes. There are even vegan versions of ice cream these days.
When it comes to our favorite flavors, this is how the IDFA says those stack up:
- Vanilla
- Chocolate
- Cookies N' Cream
- Mint Chocolate Chip
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- Buttered Pecan
- Cookie Dough
- Strawberry
- Moose Tracks
- Neapolitan
As far as toppings go, Americans like pecans best, followed by strawberries, candy and chocolate pieces. Me, personally, I'll take M&Ms on or in my ice cream, such as with a DQ Blizzard, over pecans or strawberries.

Publishing Is only one issue I have, as I believe it is hard to get enough (decent) views on my uploaded videos. I wondered, is there any trick that I'm missing that's blocking my expansion on YouTube.
A Few years ago, I came across this YouTube optimization tool called VidIQ chrome addon which made me figure out everything is missing in my channel and preventing its growth. Now, you will be learning about this awesome instrument that I have started using lately, and I feel every Youtube publisher should use it.
VidIQ Is an enterprise-level tool you can freely use for basic features and expert features for a nominal cost. Though, I have a pro account; you can always begin with their free chrome extensions and later on upgrade when you find the great results because I did. More about that later, and for now allow me to show you the way this cool piece of tech will help you to raise your Youtube station.
What's VidIQ?
Let's face it. Growing A channel is tough. And it's particularly hard for those who do not know what you're doing wrong. Many times, you find yourself seeing folks ignoring your perspectives and barely getting subscribers. This could often lead one to scratch your head thinking'What is wrong?'

How to use VidIQ to grow any Youtube channel?
VidIQ Is Very Good for an Individual publisher like me and you or to get digital advertising and marketing services who handle Youtube channel for their customer. Most of us are aware of basic Youtube movie SEO hints like use Keyword in the article title, utilize detailed description and make the video participating. This is a common knowledge that every Youtube publisher have, but there's more than you could use to give more visibility for their Youtube channel.
Let Me first discuss their specialist version that begins at just $10/month. It may sound too much for entry-level Youtube publisher, but after learning about the attributes, you will also feel that $10 is a peanut price that we are paying for such awesome support.

This Is super easy when you are optimizing your YouTube channel or your client channel.
Personally, I bother less about the description part like I always insert it if uploading the movies. What I enjoyed here is your YouTube tagging component, as this one thing could allow you to get more views on every video that you upload Youtube.
VidIQ Offers tag suggestion (You can use up to 50 tags) and using popular tags will help you to receive unimaginable eyeballs to your videos. You include the first few characters and it would auto-populate the suggested tags. (See screenshot below)
Let Me also share a wise way to take advantage of VidIQ youtube tags feature. This one even works for free users, but you need to install free VidIQ chrome extension. This plugin does is, it automatically shows one of the tags used on any Youtube movie which is not publicly available.
After Installing the above free Chrome add-in, all you want to do is hunt for videos related to the one you are uploading and open the video with most viewpoints or based on the popularity.

Its Google Chrome Expansion is also quite strong. In reality, I believe that it is the only Youtube competition research tool which allows you to observe the tags and visitors insights of your competitors. These are quite useful especially if you want to find out exactly what your opponents do before you do any form of advertising.
Get Organized with Easy-to-Manage Analytics
The first thing which Will grab your eye when you register for VidIQ is its own analytics. Although Youtube might have provided you with the exact same type of analytics, it's still not as organized as this of VidIQ.
First, you'll be able To see the demographics of your audiences. You'll see if they're male or female and what era they are. You will also find them broken down into proportions so you'll have a precise overview of your Youtube channel.

Next, you will also find some analytics in the videos tab. This will show you all your movies along with their corresponding characteristics such as the date posted, tags, vidIQ score, whether or not it is fostered, total views, total likes and total opinions.

Get to Know Your Clients
A good analytics tool Will not be complete without subscriber analysis. In the end, video station owners aren't only there to look at analytics. They wish to know who's watching, liking and commenting in their videos. They would like to understand the person behind the'viewer'. Vidiq Contact
Fortunately, the Software also have a Subscribers tab which lets you peek into what your readers are seeing. This includes details such as the top videos they saw, the best channels they follow and when they're online. These features permit you to take a glimpse at what your subscribers or viewers are doing. It gives you the ability to get to know how they behave – what makes them view a movie and subscribe.

You Can observe the performance (Below) from one of the campaigns I conducted for 25 days.
Clicking On Stop campaign will automatically eliminate your campaign text and hyperlinks from all videos.

For Now, you can make an account on VidIQ and import your channel for free to begin optimizing all of your uploaded Youtube videos.
Every YouTuber knows the value of traffic and subscribers. Several studies have been done on Youtube to determine why users subscribe to a Youtube station or view a particular video. However, no research may give the same response for all stations in all niches.
Here is the facts. how Users will react to your content will depend on the nature of your visitors content and market. It is a niche where one size doesn't fit all. You need to learn what will work for you by yourself.
That is where analytics tools come in handy. These tools allow you to know how users are currently behaving towards your videos or channel so that you may adjust your plan accordingly. One analytics tool which has gained much popularity is VidIQ, within the following article, you will learn more about this program and how it can assist you in your Youtube journey.

At farms all over Australia, desperate young backpackers are being exploited, underpaid and sexually harassed. They work long hours for little or less pay while living in horrible conditions. They must do this in order to obtain their 88-day requirement for farm work which will enable them to get their second-year visa.
Some of the young travellers are so desperate to stay in the country that they are willing to do literally anything to write off their farm work. Many wait around for weeks, even months, all while paying accommodation upfront for promised work. All this only to log a few days after months at farms, losing both time and money. Others give up and go home defeated, knowing that they've wasted much of their time for nothing.
88 Days a Slave looks deeper into these issues through the eyes of young backpackers.

Weather report Spring Valley
No incumbents will be on the ballot this fall for city offices as one incumbent decided to run for another office and the other two incumbents declined to file for re-election.
Incumbent Mayor Jim Struzyk, who has held office for more than two decades, did not file for re-election this year. Instead Tony Archer, who is a council member now, was the only candidate to file for mayor.
After vetoing a supplemental spending bill and a tax-conformity bill sent to his desk by the Minnesota Legislature, Gov. Mark Dayton reversed course last week and signed the 2018 bonding bill.
State Rep. Greg Davids, R-Preston, and state Sen. Jeremy Miller, R-Winona, were both pleased with that outcome, noting the bill has several benefits for southeastern Minnesota, and the entire state. The bonding bill will fund several infrastructure projects around Minnesota.
Dennis Hillesland is shifting gears from behind the wheel of a school bus to a less structured retirement.
"It's been a good 50 years," stated Hillesland, retiring from his before- and after-school job moving the wheels on the bus under students in the Spring Valley and Kingsland school districts. Hillesland finished his last bus route on Thursday, May 31, then went home to start summer vacation the way he always has…sitting back with a good friend and a Pepsi and talking farming and tractors.
The Fillmore County Sheriff's Office has issued a warning to motorists about flooded roadways throughout Fillmore County Saturday evening.
"We are urging our citizens and people traveling in and through Fillmore County to use extreme caution, especially in low lying areas that have rivers or creeks or the potential of water flow," said Sheriff Tom Kaase.
The Fillmore County commissioners got back to business on Tuesday, June 5, handling a relatively short agenda.
Solid Waste Administrator Andrew Hatzenbihler came before the board with a request to be allowed to continue using a medical waste removal vendor, Stericycle, for collection and disposal of medical sharps at the Fillmore County Resource Recovery Center. He noted that needles from medical syringes pose a hazard to the workers and to the public. The commissioners obliged.
Five candidates filed for three positions before filing closed for the city election to be held this fall.
Tony Archer, who is a council member now, filed for the office of mayor while Thomas Brunson, Chris Danielson, John Dols and Luan Reusink filed for the two City Council positions open. Filing closed at the end of the day Tuesday, June 5.
Two council seats, which have four-year terms, will be on the ballot in the general election. Archer's term on the council ends this year and Todd Jones is the other incumbent whose term expires.
June started out on a tragic note in Fillmore County with a fatality when a motorcycle struck a horse west of Mabel Friday morning.
The Fillmore County Sheriff's Office emergency communications center received a 911 call Friday, June 1, at 11:31 a.m. of an accident on Highway 44 west of Mabel and east of the junction with Highway 52.
A single motorcyclist eastbound on Highway 44 struck a horse that was in the east-bound lane of the highway, according to Fillmore County Sheriff Tom Kaase. The victim, Timothy Holt, 60, of Decorah, was driving a 2000 model Harley Davidson.
A weak tornado caused significant damage at an abandoned residence in Bristol Township the evening of Wednesday, May 30.
A Fillmore County deputy responded after emergency dispatch received a call of a small tornado at about 7:54 p.m. The deputy found a 75- by 25-foot foot shed had sustained heavy damage with the roof lifted off, said Fillmore County Sheriff Tom Kaase. Debris was spread up to half a mile from the scene. Roof tin was found in a treetop and shed poles had been pulled from out of the ground.
A proposal to hold a drag race within city limits in conjunction with a July 7 event was turned down by the Spring Valley Council on Wednesday, May 30, during its regular meeting.
Greg Melartin of Fins and Films approached the council about the race, which would be part of the group's now annual outdoor movie and car show held on South Broadway Avenue. The council was meeting two days later than usual due to the Memorial Day holiday.
"There isn't going to be any hard core competition," Melartin said of the race. "It is going to be pre-1988 technology."
"I told them that it's not about them. It's about you, moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas, foster moms and dads. We're not saying 'goodbye.' We're saying, 'hello world'," said Kingsland Superintendent and High School Principal Jim Hecimovich, welcoming the gathered parents and family members to commencement exercises held last Friday, June 1, for the Kingsland High School class of 2018.

In India, concerns over the impact of gaming app PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, or commonly called PUBG, have risen again after a 17-year-old boy from Haryana's Jind district killed himself on July 7. The boy reportedly hung himself after his mother scolded him for playing PUBG and took away his phone.
Local reports state that the teenager used to spend a large amount of his time playing the popular and highly addictive game, and had "given up on studies" after grade 10, a year ago. The victim's father, a policeman, told the media that he would often scold his son for slacking on his studies to play the game. "I was on duty on Saturday evening when my wife found him playing PUBG in his room and snatched his mobile phone. She found him hanging in the room the next morning," he said.
A similar incident had taken place in April this year when a 16-year-old boy from Telangana died by suicide after being scolded by his mother for not studying for his exams. The grade 10 student had reportedly locked himself in his room and when the parents knocked down the door, the minor's body was hanging from the ceiling fan. Yet another report came from Guwahati last month, where another grade 10 student hanged himself to death after his mother scolded him and locked away his phone for not studying.
So far, no case of mental health issues has been reported in any of those cases. However, they all seem to come from a similar age bracket and facing similar parental pressures of studying for grade 10 examinations, which in India, come with a lot of premium attached to them. In the past, the game has mostly been linked to severe consequences of addiction. In May, a 16-year-old boy from Madhya Pradesh reportedly had a cardiac arrest after spending six hours straight playing the game. Yet another report came from Maharashtra's Bhiwandi district, where a 15-year-old stabbed his brother to death for scolding him for playing PUBG.
The gaming app has been stuck in controversy in India since early this year, when Gujarat became the first state in the country to ban PUBG, leading to an unprecedented number of young Indians being arrested. Then in May, the World Health Organization declared video gaming addiction a mental health disorder. The game remains banned in countries like Jordan, China and Nepal, among others, for having a negative mental impact on the users.
In the light of the ban in India, PUBG issued a statement in March, saying that it's meant "merely for entertainment and should be enjoyed in a healthy and responsible manner." "We are working to understand the legal basis of such bans, and hope we can have a constructive dialogue with relevant authorities to explain our objectives and that they withdraw the prohibition. To PUBG Mobile players, we want to assure you that we are on your side and we will try our best to find a reasonable solution," they said.
At the same time, digital activists such as the Internet Freedom Foundation have called these bans "arbitrary" and forcing "youngsters to give up recreational activities". "The PUBG Ban is fuelled by moral panic and the harms from video games require scientific study and then non-legal methods of engagement," the organisation has said.
Government bodies such as the National Child Rights Commission are taking a cue from stakeholders such as politicians, parents and teachers, and demanding a blanket ban on the game in India. But it remains to be seen whether these reports will bring in further crackdown in the country, or give in to the supposedly flawed correlation between aggression in teens and gaming culture.

Numerology and the Mystery of Destiny Numbers
In Numerology, Destiny Number is the sum total of one's date of birth and therefore unique for every person. It makes the individual aware of his personal interest, his unique capabilities, attitudes and talents leading him into the purpose of one's existence on earth. It is commonly called the 'lucky number'. It is calculated by adding all the numerals in one's birth date and bring it down to one digit. For e.g., a birth date of 2/09/1976 will give the destiny number of 7 (2+9+1+9+7+6= 34= 7). It is also calculated by replacing birth full name alphabets with corresponding numerals e.g. A=1, D=4.
How can Astrology be of use to me?
Astrology can be a valuable tool in helping you understand yourself better, and it can give you a clearer idea of your life path and potential. Most people are familiar with names of the twelve Sun Signs used in western astrology, and often know something about the characteristics associated with their own Sign. An Aries may be enthusiastic but impatient, a Taurus practical yet stubborn, a Libran artistic but indecisive and so on. You can read more about this further on, but remember - there is much more to astrology than Sun Signs!
The astrological mode of thinking
many people read their horoscope every day. Bookshops contain astrology books. Do readers think there is something in it? To hope it will reveal the future is against common sense, for man has to form his future himself. Instead, astrology is a scientific mode of thinking, which is just one mode among many.
For example, for economists there is a "marketing mode", for sociologists there are "social modes", and for psychologists there are "behavior modes". But scientists cannot accept the "mode of thinking" of astrology because it does not fit their own "modes of thinking" that are characterized by technique and rationalization. Nevertheless it meets the conditions of scientific thinking, that is, it is logical, testable, and open to checking by anybody.
Astrology brings new opinions on life
Very often the question remains: Why am I like this? Why do I have to experience this? And so on. The other human sciences bring all sorts of explanations, such as home conditions, relationships, school, special events, and they are often correct. But this is not helpful. A person cannot be satisfied by stating reasons. He wants to be superior to his life-plan, wants to change it and submit to it. He wants to decide for himself when there should be day and night.
It is here that astrology brings a new opinion on his life. He is forced to recognize his weakness, to give up apparently safe positions. He then learns how life means receiving and accepting, and how this can lead to new activities and a satisfying life. Thus, astrology is a school of life plans. It shows the kind of seed that is sewn into a man's life.
A youth enters a store and asked the wise old man behind the counter "What do you sell?". The wise man replies "All you want". The youth says "I would like world peace, no poverty, no unemployment, equal rights for all, and...". But the wise man interrupts him "You got me wrong. We don't sell fruit here, only seeds."
Similarly with astrology. A lady asks "I have shares in a company, shall I take charge and manage it myself?" Astrology shows she is given direction and aims by others, who use their power against her. So no, she is not suited to managing a company. But she becomes the managing director anyway, and three years later the company becomes insolvent. This is a case from an astrological practice in Freiburg.
Often professional qualifications, proved by examinations, are not enough for achieving a leading post. Human qualities are also needed. Astrology can help here to make objective decisions, objective because the person cannot manipulate the message of his birth chart, nor does it depend on the astrologer with his likes and dislikes; the chart can be proved mathematically, and also shows the prospects of success.

The year 2019 is ending on a good note for Finesse with one more feather on our Golden Hat. Cheers!!
Finesse has been honoured as the Best Digital Transformation Solution Provider at Tahawultech's Hot50 Awards for the year- 2019.
Finesse, one of the global leaders in digital transformation, today announced its strategic partnership with Medcare, a premium healthcare network ventured by Aster DM Healthcare. Finesse in association with its partner – UiPath, a renowned Robotic Process Automation (RPA) software company, has proposed a customized solution for better customer experience and value generation at Medcare Hospitals & Medical Centres.
The partnership between Finesse and UiPath will offer a seamless implementation experience. Finesse endeavors to build a robust digital platform for Medcare's business processes. It has proposed an automation platform to make the insurance eligibility process quick and accurate for both Medcare and its existing patients.
"As an organization committed to deliver the most personalized service and best clinical outcomes, we understand the value of time. In our mission to reduce waiting time and constantly improve upon evidence-based care, RPA will automate and streamline several tasks for our medical professionals and administrators in hospitals and clinics. With regards to insurance approval, RPA implementation will support our team deliver an even higher level of service, with their time on paperwork reduced thanks to automation. We can use insights delivered by the tools to access and process data to deliver the best clinical outcomes and service excellence for our patients," said Andre Daoud, Chief Executive Officer at Medcare Hospitals and Medical Centres.
"We are delighted to provide Medcare Hospitals & Medical Centres with the best-in-class RPA solution to enhance its journey of digital transformation. We will ensure a secure, and feasible RPA platform for upscale customer handling and relationship management. This transformation is surely going to simplify the insurance eligibility process for Medcare's employees as well as their existing patients," said Sunil Paul, Co-Founder & COO, Finesse.
Naushad Mohammed, General Manager IT at Medcare understands that the current Insurance Eligibility Process is a tedious one. He explained that the process is very monotonous and time-consuming for both their front and back-office team. The team must scan a patient's details through ten to fifteen insurance portals to ensure claim eligibility of a patient.
"It is a time-consuming process for the employees and strains the patients to wait for insurance approval before commencement of their treatment. That's why we have decided to automate the process to lead efficiency, and to effectively carry out the eligibility process. This is just a start to the RPA journey as we are planning to enhance and automate more processes that add value to both our team members and patients," said Mohammed.
"The leaders of the country have identified healthcare as a key sector of focus and a priority within the UAE Vision's National Agenda, that is a guideline for our organization. We believe that the automation solutions provided by UiPath and implemented by Finesse will allow Medcare to create a highly scalable digital workforce to support their transformation agenda. The capacity created by freeing employees from repetitive and non-value adding tasks, will enable them focus on better care for patients and their families. It will also significantly decrease wait times and create an improved experience for all." Karan Dixit, Vice President, Middle East and Africa at UiPath

Sunil Paul, COO and co-founder of Finesse, on how the fourth industrial revolution will transform regional businesses.
In January 2016, World Economic Forum Founder and Executive Chairman, Klaus Schwab, published a book titled 'The Fourth Industrial Revolution.' Since then, the term has been used to analyse the impact of emerging technologies on industrial, market and to an extent, societal transformation.
4IR, in the words of Klaus Schwab, is "characterised by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres." Technological breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things and 3D printing are not only finding their way into business and production processes but also daily life.
For example, machine learning and artificial intelligence are closing the gap between humans and machines; 3D printing is collapsing the production value chain from concept to market; robots are no longer a factory phenomenon; they are now found in banks, restaurants and homes.
The benefits of 4IR are several and could be the subject of another article. Communities based in less developed regions can access services via digital networks, and leapfrog development cycles. Improvements in productivity through flexible production systems allow for goods and services to be delivered cheaper and faster; 4IR also promises to spur new services and new forms of employment via digital platforms and level the playing field for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), bypassing expensive investments in infrastructure and marketing.
The big question is whether countries in the Middle East are ready to be disrupted by 4IR? Will companies and organizations be able to adapt to the rapid transformation? What will be the impact on jobs and on people? How to tackle security challenges triggered by digitisation?
McKinsey Global Institute, in a study in 2017, noted that almost half the activities people are paid almost $16 trillion in wages to do in the global economy have the potential to be automated. A growing youth population is putting pressure on regional economies to create jobs and on education systems to prepare future workers.
However, the governments are also dealing with a young and well-educated population, who in turn, can be equipped with the creativity and skills needed to for knowledge-based, sustainable economy. For the oil rich economies of the region, the new imperative of economic diversification to reducedependency on hydrocarbon exports dovetail nicely into the 4IR framework.
To get fit for the 4IR, the region's first priority should be to strengthen the innovation capacity. R&D expenditure as a percentage of GDP is 0.9% in the UAE, 0.8% in Saudi Arabia and 0.7% in the Egypt. Missing the bus here would mean the region continues to remain a market for innovations developed elsewhere. For example, China is aiming to become the world's number-one AI hub by 2030 with a one trillion renminbi AI core industry.
The pace of transformation driven by 4IR is so fast that future skilling is a must, and countries should update their educational policies and allocate resources for this. Repetitive tasks have a higher likelihood of being automated while new digital economy would create a demand for higher skills. Moreover, higher education systems must also be adaptable to life-long learning to allow people to re-skill quickly.
The private sector – industrialists, technologists and business people – must invest innovation and skill or risk their region getting excluded from the new value chains of goods and services.
Governments worldwide are stepping up policy efforts to address 4IR's technological disruption. In May 2019, more than 40 came together to adopt the first-of-their-kind ever set of intergovernmental rules on the use of AI.
In the region, UAE has been at the forefront of 4IR adoption, launching a national strategy for AI in 2017, the first Arab country to do so. The strategy, among other things, is focused on making the country the first in the field of AI investments in sectors that include transport; health; space; renewable energy; water; technology; education; environment and traffic.
In April 2019, the UAE inaugurated the Centre for Fourth Industrial Revolution, the first in the region and fifth globally with one of its aims being to works towards developing mechanisms, applications and uses for 4IR in the UAE.
In March, Saudi Aramco had unveiled its 4IR centre aimed at uplifting the technical skills of its workforce and helping the company's operational performance to enable greater efficiencies.
In Bahrain, state-backed business support services provider Tamkeen and the Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB) has launched several 4IR pilot projects.
But the bulk of the region's private and public sectors have a plenty of ground to cover before they get to the 4IR. In many cases, they are, as in other regions, pacing themselves through the second and third industrial revolutions while embracing 4IR technologies. The better the region prepares for the eventualities of 4IR, the better the position they will be in to reap its rewards.
Salesforce's acquisition of Tableau Software gives the world's biggest CRM company a highly competitive data analytics edge just when everyone was guessing about its game plan in that regard. While Tableau had been an acquisition prospect for the big boys of IT for quite some time, it was Salesforce that bit the bullet with its $15.7 billion all-stock deal announced last week.
The biggest acquisition deal in the CRM giant's 20-year history will provide it with the business intelligence chops that industry watchers had felt it lacked for taking on the likes of Microsoft, SAP, and Oracle. The data visualisation prowess that Tableau will bring to Salesforce's CRM toolkit will help companies surface a more in-depth business insight, and understanding of the customer data repositories they have been accumulating using Salesforce products. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff summed it up best in a press release announcing the deal: "Tableau helps people see and understand data, and Salesforce helps people engage and understand customers. It's truly the best of both worlds for our customers."
Where Salesforce is concerned, Tableau not only complements the company's existing analytics tools, which include Einstein and Analytics Cloud but more important, it also supports outside data sources.
The fact of the matter in today's world is that companies need to be able to make sense of not just their customer data but all data that may reside in any part of the enterprise. Salesforce is largely confined to an enterprise's sales and marketing and related functions but Tableau has managed to establish itself across multiple departments and functions within the enterprise, thanks being able to easily connect to and make sense of a variety of data.
Of course, with Tableau, Salesforce can knock on more doors in an enterprise and help their joint customers, who had voted for the stand-alone Tableau to use with Salesforce products, to build a more comprehensive picture of their customers.
Salesforce customers who don't have Tableau in their repertory can, thanks to this acquisition, get access to an industry-leading data visualisation tool with full confidence that CRM giant's money, might and resources are behind it.
This will also instill large companies who may have been reluctant to introduce a small vendor like Tableau into their vendor ecosystem to be more confident about doing so. And it would be fair to expect Salesforce pitch itself to Tableau-only customers running competitor CRM systems.
The acquisition of Tableau, together with Mulseoft in 2018, has eased Salesforce, which was the pioneer of Software as a Service (SaaS) approach, into the on-premise market as well. The two acquisitions point to the CRM major's pragmatic approach to work with companies that don't have all or most of their data in the cloud and thus stay relevant in the high-stakes data analytics battle.
Where companies are deploying Tableau Server in the cloud or subscribing to its SaaS offering, these are domains where Salesforce is the undisputed leader. All in all, Tableau is expected to catapult Salesforce to parity with its competitors on the cloud data analytics front.
However, some key concerns that Salesforce may have to address as the deal gets concluded includes: will it retain Tableau's multi-cloud approach even while reassuring that company's on-premise customers that their choices would be respected and supported (in fact, only one-third of Tableau deployments are in the cloud); will it ensure that integration between Tableau and Salesforce's products will not disruptive for existing joint customers of both products as their roadmaps converge; and will smaller users of Tableau, who may be fond of large vendors, be given a raw deal.
The acquisition by Saleforce has put Tableau on solid ground about its future, but market consolidation underway in the BI space could see other independent vendors struggling to remain relevant in what is becoming a price-driven commoditised space.

Can present and past experiences provide a window into the future? It is an open debate on the individual front but not so much for businesses as predictive analytics holds the alluring promise of visibility and predictability into what will happen in the future.
If we consider the exponential growth in devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), with estimates ranging from 20 million by 2020, according to Gartner and 25 million by 2025, according to GSMA Intelligence, predicting the future could only get better. In fact, greater availability of data, storage and computing power has helped bring predictive analytics into the mainstream from its high-perch a decade or so ago.
Machine learning, data mining, artificial intelligence and predictive modelling constitute the core elements of predictive analytics solutions. An example of predictive analytics at work in our daily lives is perhaps weather forecasting, where current and past data are used to predict the weather for the days ahead. But for businesses, its advantage lies in identifying trends, understanding customers, improving business performance and driving strategic decision making. It wouldn't be incorrect to state that predictive analytics could be used to produce deeper insights to drive specific business outcomes.
Predictive analytics is being employed across varied industry verticals, businesses and functions. In manufacturing, for example, firms are using predictive analytics to achieve better inventory control by track stock levels using IoT and automating the replenishment process. In fact, in asset-heavy industries like oil and gas or power generation, the power of predictive analytics is being harnessed to service components and equipment based on their actual performance instead of time-based schedule. In healthcare, there are opportunities to use predictive analytics to improve patient care to better hospital management. The telecom industry was one of the first verticals to use predictive analytics for applications ranging from predicting consumer churn to managing network assets. In the insurance industry, predictive analytics is being used not only to control risks in underwriting but also detect insurance fraud claims.
To get started on predictive analytics, the fundamental requirement is data availability. In fact, the maxim is more data you have, the better. And more accurate the data, more accurate are the predictive models and their predictions. This data can be from both sources that are internal and external to the company. There is also the question of whether to hire data scientists to build predictive models in-house or use external providers, which is a decision best left to the company's leadership.
However, do remember that it is easy to become enamoured with predictive analytics, so much so that making predictions purely for the sake of predicting the future could become a habit with zero benefits. As predictive analytics solutions get more and more accurate, and competitors scramble to get on board, the challenge would be to act on those predictions, and act quickly enough.
Remember, predicting the future is useful only when that data and information can be transferred into action before your competitors beat you to it.

When a virtual assistant greets you when you call your bank or when a chat box solicits your contact details on a travel website or the information you search for on a real estate broker's listing page, irrespective of time of day, you are experiencing chatbots at work.
If one parses the many definitions of chatbot over the Internet, they all broadly agree that it is a computer programme or software that engages with human users with pre-determined messages in a conversational format.
Thanks to artificial intelligence and natural language processing capabilities, the current crop of chatbots are able to mimic human conversations. As a result, diverse sectors from banking to healthcare to industrial services are turning to chatbots to drive their customer service interactions and glean valuable intelligence on customer and market behaviour as a bonus.
The business case for chatbots is that they help automate routine functions and frees up the company's human resources free to deal with more complex and value-added tasks. Most companies look to chatbots as a means to reduce overheads and, thus reduce operational costs.
Chatbots are typically embedded in customer engagement channels like websites and apps or within chat platforms such as Facebook Messenger or SMS so that customers can enjoy 24×7 access to the company without waiting times.
Chatbots sift through vast amounts of data to provide a customer with clear-cut and personalized information so that customers don't have to undergo the tedious exercise of navigating websites or IVR menus or wait over the phone to be attended by a call centre agent. Where the querying gets too complex, chatbots can escalate the case to a human agent.
For companies hawking consumer facing products and services, chatbots can boost conversion rate and increase sales. Moreover, companies using such solutions are also perceived as innovative.
Where companies have to deal with multi-cultural environments like the Gulf region, chatbots can help them listen to the needs and preferences of their customers better.
Dealing with millennial generation that is growing up with Alexa and Siri, and accustomed to instant responses required companies to integrate virtual agents or artificial conversational entity (ACE) technologies like chatbots into their customer outreach strategies. And consumers are increasingly favouring chat over email for communication.
Gartner has predicted that 25 percent of customer service operations will use virtual customer assistants by 2020.Organisations report a reduction of up to 70 percent in call, chat and/or email inquiries after implementing a VCA ( Virtual Customer Assistance ), according to Gartner research. They also report increased customer satisfaction and a 33 percent saving per voice engagement.
However, use of chatbots isn't limited to customer facing operations. Companies could also be looking to use chatbots for internal operations – for example, they can be used as personal assistants for scheduling appointments or ordering office supplies. They can be also used in project management for automating team communications and reporting and tracking expenses.
Platforms are aplenty for building both Artificial Intelligence-based and Command-based chatbots. But before jumping on the chatbot bandwagon, enterprises need to answer three basic questions:
A) What do you need a chatbot?
B) What problem or challenge will it solve?
C) Who are the target users? What value will it offer them?
Once you have answered these questions, also spare some time to find successful use cases – only a consistent Return on Investment (ROI) can justify your investment.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word blockchain? For many people, it is usually bitcoin. Though cryptocurrency is the most well-known use case, blockchain technology has gone beyond that to infiltrate virtually every industry and transform global economies.
Blockchain is indeed a disruptive technology that has a unique data structure with a linear, chronological set of records of information, which is immutable. As a distributed ledger, this technology can enhance security and enabled structured collection of data, without duplication or distortions from outside.
While blockchain is certainly not a panacea for all business transaction problems, it has seen an uptick in all major verticals including financial services, energy, and manufacturing. As we have seen in the Middle East, blockchain technology is also being adopted in the public sector to improve transparency and build better public services.
Industry experts forecast that the blockchain market will grow at a rapid pace in the coming years. The financial sector will lead this growth curve, driven mainly by rapid adoption in the banking industry. This stems from the fact that blockchain technology has some truly disruptive implications for the financial industry as it offers a decentralized ledger of all transactions, is tamper proof and virtually instantaneous. It also has the advantage of expediting payment processing and money transfers between parties.
Another strong use case is monitoring supply chains where collaboration, traceability, and transparency are some of the most important considerations. In the real world, this means adding greater visibility and efficiency by removing paper-based trails and knowing in real-time the exact source, location, and state of all inventory.
For the retail industry, blockchain offers consumer-facing possibilities to enhance the shopping experience, real-time liquidity to consumers, fraud prevention and management of loyalty points. Blockchain enables the use of cryptocurrencies — sometimes also called tokens — as of a means of exchanging value or data. Tokens can dramatically simplify the tracking and managing of loyalty points, making it more easily swappable between consumers and across retailers.
Blockchain technology has also recently been adopted by the real estate industry to transform core operations such as property transactions including purchase, sale, financing, leasing, in addition to land and title transfers.
It enables all the parties involved to have a transparent view of all the data from a property transfer, significantly reducing costs and time in payment processing.
Businesses of all sizes are taking an active interest in this disruptive technology as it offers immediate benefits and recently, tech giants have started to offer blockchain-as-a-service to ease the deployment process for first-time adopters looking to test the waters without upfront investments.
The Middle East is exceptionally receptive to this new technology and investments are constantly increasing as regional organisations continue to launch proof-of-concepts and pilot projects. I believe 2019 is going to be a tipping point as we are going to see blockchain break out of the oven with some real-world solutions, enabling new applications across various industries.
Though blockchain is surely gaining traction, for enterprises implementing the technology comes with its own set of challenges, especially around integration issues with legacy enterprise software systems. Another stumbling block for CIOs is regulatory concerns and lack of industry standards and interoperability between various blockchain networks. It is important to remember that blockchain is a technology that continues to evolve and grow, and these kinks will be ironed by out by the industry as we move forward.
Undoubtedly, blockchain has the potential to eliminate existing inefficiencies in key business processes, and it is worth investing time and resources in this exciting new technology to explore new opportunities that could help fundamentally change your organisation.
In today's market scenario, there are bright HR professionals who have a keen interest to develop themselves and build a fantastic workplace that in turn can create the best contributors for the company. Great companies seek HR qualities such as capability, growth, scalability, ability and thirst to learn. You can find remarkable talented HR professionals with unique drive and passion who are willing to go the extra mile to learn and implement their knowledge in a better way to help companies grow.
Companies need to invest in them like they've invested in technology and other core functions. It's about keeping your organization ahead of the competition in the current market. We know that employee satisfaction is pivotal to the overall triumph of a company. If companies don't invest in the current workforce, it's likely to negatively impact the growth of leaders.
HR leaders are those who are completely assimilated into management, employer branding, talent engagement, talent retention and culture development. HR is now the chief architect in developing and managing the employee experience. In this age, it means attracting, engaging, retaining, and developing the next generation of HR, for that talent requires a new approach to scale across the company's vision and values.
We can find HR as the face of the company while recruiting the talent. An ability to understand not only the role for which you are hiring, but also to know the long-term goals of the company and skills needed to evolve with the company. In this agile era, HR plays a crucial role in change management as well as talent development from attraction through to career development, as well as company culture and leadership development.
The employee is no longer static. To remain competitive requires a fully-focused, proactive approach to HR development. HR have a dynamic role to play that requires a level of expertise that goes beyond compliance issues. For a company to grow and proliferate, HR needs to be empowered to use a range of resources and create a sustainable talent pipeline.
Selecting a HR business partner to develop the culture is a priority hire for leadership, talent acquisition and culture development strategies. Today, you can see most admin-related work is automated to reduce boredom. This helps to engage professionals who work to shape the employee experience and develop talent. Considering this, HR needs people with interpersonal, critical-thinking and analytical skills to be successful in the profession.
And today we hear about bringing AI (Artificial Intelligence) inside the company's HR function. Do you think such strategies will contribute to great progress? We can see that the next generation of HR is all about actively creating and managing the talent experience as well as the company's brand. HR professionals are a significant part of winning the talent wars to attract, engage and retain best people to predominantly grow the organization.
