Spa breaks are all about pampering, treating yourself, de-stressing, and relaxing - and we all need one once in a while! As well as many treatments and leisure facilities, it is the perfect opportunity to take in the local surroundings. There are many benefits to a spa holiday, or even a spa day, from relaxation to weight-loss. You may think you've heard them all before, you may be wrong!
Relieving stress is one of the biggest benefits of a spa break. Whether you're lounging by the pool, getting that well-needed massage, or cleansing in the steam room, you'll forget the stresses of everyday life. Some spas offer holistic activities such as yoga, Pilates or Tai-Chi for balance of the body and soul. Full body massages and hydrotherapy are particularly effective at removing muscle tension, whilst holistic activities help with your flexibility, muscle tone, strength and enhance your overall well-being.
Weight loss in another benefit of a spa holiday. Many health spas offer different weight loss programs, combining healthy eating with exercise and relaxation. Losing weight can be difficult and stressful, but in a calming atmosphere, with the right information, it can be turned into an easy and enjoyable task.
Improving blood circulation and blood pressure are other spa advantages. A person with poor circulation can suffer with a number of discomforts, from cold hands and feet, to fatigue. Spa treatments such as hydrotherapy, massage, and heat therapy can all regulate blood pressure and improve circulation.
Aiding sleep is another benefit of the occasional pampering. Many spas offer sleep enhancement programs that aim to improve the quality of sleep for those suffering with sleep deprivation. Treatments can include acupuncture, therapeutic massages, and reflexology.
Detoxing cleanses you and rids your body of toxins. Detox also helps to reduce stress and clear the mind. Spas can aid the cleansing of your system and regenerate new blood back into your body, specifically targeting the liver, kidneys, lungs and skin. Methods for detox include daily exercises, nutritious food, and detox juices.
Skin care is another bonus of spa treatments. Facials and scrubs can improve the state of your skin and help create a flawless look. While scrubs cleanse your skin and remove dirt from your pores, facials can tone and give your skin a fresh and younger look. Similar body treatments can leave you feeling and looking younger.
Management of aches and pains can also be achieved on a spa retreat. Targeted massages can decrease muscle tension, and often help with injuries. Some medical spas offer therapeutic programs to address problems such as arthritis and nerve disorders. Treatments such as massages, hydrotherapy, and heat therapy can help lessen muscle aches and pains.

Rugby Championship
Greg Holmes a worthy change as scrum 'anchor'
Greg Growden
July 23, 2015
Rugby Championship Preview: Argentina v Australia
The Elementary Coaching 101 manual pushes the point that you never change a winning team. But in the case of Michael Cheika, the Wallabies and with a World Cup hovering, it is understandable he has made sweeping changes to the starting XV for this weekend's Test with Argentina in Mendoza.
Some have been forced through injury; others by the need to give fringe candidates a try, especially as they excelled in the final stages of the win over the Springboks in Brisbane. Cheika is approaching the Rugby Championship as a selection guide for the World Cup, and now is the time to experiment, to tinker with different combinations, and to properly work out whether some players are actually up to it.
The simple fact about the Brisbane victory is that the reserves bench got the Wallabies out of the mire; and so a number of them deserve their chance against the Pumas.
The scrum improved immeasurably in the second half, and that had a lot to do with the anchor provided by Reds tighthead Greg Holmes, who this week has been elevated to a starting spot for the first time since 2007. It is a worthy selection, enhanced by the fact that Holmes will be accompanying his Reds front-rower James Slipper. They understand each other's game, and so should provide solid resistance - which is imperative against the Pumas pack.

Scott Higginbotham failed to make the Wallabies No 8 position his against South Africa, as he often drifted out of the play, and so it is now Ben McCalman's turn. McCalman is a honest trooper, and rarely has a bad Test match. It is crucial that the Wallabies certify before the World Cup who their No 8 is - as this is a real problem area for Australian rugby.
Alternating the David Pocock-Michael Hooper roles is also good man management, and there is no doubt we will again see both of them on the field at some time during this weekend's Test.
A midfield change has been forced because Will Genia and Matt Giteau are both injured. But even if Genia was fit, he would have still struggled to make the starting XV as Nick Phipps was of a superior quality when he came on during the second half.
Wallabies had right attitude - Cheika%]
Phipps appeared to lose his way in the latter stages of the Super Rugby season, too often playing the 'Angry Ant' role in agitating referees, opponents and teammates. He appeared distracted and his standards slipped, especially his passing. But against the Springboks, he regained control of his game, and his passing in particular improved immeasurably. Having Bernard Foley beside him will help, while Matt Toomua is the natural choice for Giteau.
Hopefully Foley and Toomua will alternate between No 10 and 12, as I believe Toomua must spend some time at the playmaker role. He of all the No.10 candidates is the most assured.
And Cheika is giving all wing candidates a chance. Last week: Rob Horne. This week: Joe Tomane. And on the bench, Dean Mumm and Nic White will get their chances.
Again all understandable!

Gates Foundation ramps up tobacco control efforts in Africa
Posted by Kristi Heim
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is stepping up the fight against tobacco with a $7 million grant to the American Cancer Society announced today. That follows a $10 million grant to the World Health Organization in December.
Both are aimed at curbing the tobacco industry's inroads in Africa, where cancer is emerging as a serious public health threat in addition to diseases such as malaria, AIDS and TB.
The $7 million, five-year grant to the American Cancer Society (ACS), which has taken on a more global role recently, will go toward managing a health coalition called the African Tobacco Control Consortium.
Consortium members include the ACS, Africa Tobacco Control Regional Initiative, Africa Tobacco Control Alliance, Framework Convention Alliance, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease.
The consortium will work in 46 countries of sub-Saharan Africa to reduce tobacco use by
helping implement policies such as advertising bans, tobacco tax increases, graphic
warning labels and promoting smoke free environments, in line with the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, the world's first public health treaty;
The World Health Organization started a new tobacco control effort in Africa with the help of a $10 million grant from the Gates Foundation late last year. Its goal is to prevent tobacco use from becoming as prevalent in Africa as it is in other parts of the world.
If tobacco use continues to grow at its current rate, it will kill more than 8 million people a year in 20 years, and more than 80 percent of them will be in developing countries, WHO predicts.
"Tobacco breeds poverty, killing people in their most productive years," said Dr. Ala Alwan, WHO assistant director-general for noncommunicable diseases and mental health. It consumes family and health-care budgets, and where resources are already scarce, "money spent on tobacco products is money not spent on such essentials as education, food and medicine."
For a detailed look at tobacco control in Africa, see Philippe Boucher's bilingual blog here.
I wrote about the Gates Foundation's challenges in fighting tobacco use in China here.

After 30 years on throne, Japanese Emperor Akihito to bow out
Mon., April 29, 2019, 5:42 p.m.
TOKYO – Japanese Emperor Akihito is to relinquish the Chrysanthemum throne Tuesday, ending his 30-year reign in the country's first abdication in about 200 years.
The government is scheduled to hold a ceremony at the Imperial Palace in central Tokyo at 5 p.m. to be attended by about 300 people, including other imperial family members, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Cabinet ministers.
"Ever since ascending the throne as emperor and to this day, I have spent my days praying for peace in the country and for the happiness of the people and thinking about my role as the symbol of the state," the 85-year-old emperor said at an event in February, marking the 30th anniversary of his accession to the throne.
"I have been able to fulfill my duties thanks to the people of Japan, whose symbol of unity I take pride and joy in being," he added.
The emperor and Empress Michiko will become emperor emeritus and empress emerita following the abdication, the Imperial Household Agency said.
The couple will not attend a second ceremony Wednesday, which will mark 59-year-old Crown Prince Naruhito's ascendance to the throne.
The imperial succession will mark the beginning of a new era for Japan, which lays claim to the world's oldest monarchy.
The Japanese public will have a chance to meet the new emperor, his wife, Empress Masako, 55, and other imperial family members Saturday, when they appear on a palace balcony, the agency said.
In mid-March, Emperor Akihito kicked off a series of ceremonies and rituals for his abdication, including his travel to the mausoleum of Japan's legendary first leader, Emperor Jimmu, in the western city of Kashihara.
On their last trip outside Tokyo earlier this month, the emperor and the empress offered prayers at the Ise Jingu ancient Shinto shrine in central Japan. The shrine is dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami, the imperial family's ancestral deity.
A week ago, the couple visited the tomb of Emperor Hirohito, Akihito's father, in the Musashino Imperial Graveyard in the western part of Tokyo.
Akihito assumed the throne on Jan. 8, 1989, at the age of 55, following the death of Emperor Hirohito, in whose name Japan fought and lost World War II.
In a rare video message in August 2016, Emperor Akihito indicated his desire to renounce the throne, citing concerns that his advanced age and frail health could prevent him from fulfilling his official duties as the symbol of the state.
Since the emperor does not hold any political authority, he cannot discuss abdication directly. Japan's parliament enacted one-off legislation in June 2017 allowing him to abdicate.
Japan's imperial family claims the longest hereditary lineage in the world, stretching back more than 2,600 years, according to the government. However, the existence of legendary figures such as Emperor Jimmu has been contested.

Jay Gatsby's sole purpose in life is to achieve the American Dream: to become a land owner, married to the love of his life, who live in comfort and abundance. However, he never gets everything he wants as his love for Daisy is not as fully reciprocated as he wishes it to be. His dream, and the one Nick pursues as well, are only dreams in the end. The culture of the time only gives empty fulfillment with no real substance. The people, like their dreams, are only illusions of what they want to be.
Gatsby's life after the war is his search for his American Dream, which, in his eyes, culminates in Daisy. Nick observes that Gatsby "found that he had committed himself to the following of a grail" (149). Fitzgerald chooses to compare Gatsby's quest for Daisy to that of a quest for the Holy Grail as they are equally futile. The Holy Grail and the American Dream both do not exist and so Gatsby is chasing an imagined idea. Thus, his quest is for something not grounded in reality. Gatsby's relationship with Daisy is based on false pretenses as he "had deliberately given daisy a sense of security; he let her believe that he was a person from much the same stratum as herself—that he was fully able to take care of her" (149). At the foundation their "love" is based on falsehoods, and so their love is, perhaps, doomed from the beginning since it has begun in a dream state as well. Gatsby's father, Mr. Gatz, believed in the American Dream and is as naïve as his son. He says, "Jimmy was bound to get ahead" (173), as if it was Gatsby's right do so as a pragmatic person. His pragmatism does get him his job with Wolfsheim, an example of an incredibly pragmatic man, and thus gets him his wealth. However, the time he lost in attaining his riches was worth more than all the money he earned. By being pragmatic and waiting to become rich before finding Daisy again, he loses Daisy to Tom. They both think the ideal is something that Gatsby can grasp even though it is a dream and nothing more. Gatsby's death is the realization that nothing can ever be the ideal. He was so close to getting what he wanted, but he never gets the full package.
The world that Nick recounts is full of idealizations. When Nick first encounters Jordan and Daisy, "They were both in white, and their dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house" (8). The women here sound like something out of a fairy tale. They come off as fantastical but are not as good of people as they may seem. Their false presentation brings up the lies behind everyone's presentation. Gatsby, as well, is not what he presents himself as. He is said to be an "Oxford man" but only visited Oxford with Dan Cody. The façades are a part of society's attempt to be something it is not and to present itself as something better than it is. The truth is that they are all, in their own ways, like Tom and Daisy
They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up...

Two days ahead of the rally on October 28, Pakistan Muslim League–Nawaz (PML-N) has increased the preparations to gather around 1,50,000 persons in a rally from Nasir Bagh to Bhaati Chowk.
Final drills have commenced with active participation of party activists and leaders. A motorcycle rally consisting of 4,000 motorcyclists has been planned for October 27.
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has constituted over 20 committees to monitor the arrangements. Parliamentarians have also been assigned the task to mobilize party workers and general public in their respective constituencies.
PML-N Member Provincial Assembly (MPA) Shahbaz Ahmed chaired a meeting on transport arrangements. It was decided that the government owned vehicles will not be used, instead around 2000 wagons and 500 buses will be hired which will cost Rs 3 million.
Door-to-door awareness campaign regarding the rally has been planned, while publicity vehicles have already started moving around the city to raise awareness regarding the protest rally.
Meanwhile, PML-N Member National Assembly (MNA) Khawaja Saad Rafiq said in a press conference on Tuesday that the PML-N rally would prove to be referendum against the federal government. He said that Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani should not assume PML-N to be complacent. He said that the PML-N rally was against load shedding, corruption and inflation, adding that the protest would continue until the termination of present government.
PML-N MPA Khawaja Imran Nazir told Pakistan Today that Shahbaz Sharif had been holding meetings to review preparations of the rally, daily. Special committees regarding security, mobilization, transport, publicity, discipline and other issues were working towards making the rally a success, he added. He said that the routes of vehicles had been allotted according to respective constituencies.
PML-N MPA Farah Deeba said that every constituency was actively participating by holding review meetings, corner meetings and mobilization meetings for the rally. She said that the youth will play an important role during the rally. "I have personally communicated with youth wing and cultural wing besides NGOs and members of civil societies to put their maximum contribution to hold thunderous rally as it is not a political rally but a rally for survival of Pakistan," she said.
All out efforts to salvage the PML-N's pride

Let's find out the beneficial properties of fennelPublished In: 07 Nov 2016
Fennel is a food with surprisingly beneficial properties for the body: in addition to performing purifying action, fennel is able to improve digestion, protect the intestine and solve the problem of intestinal gas and bloating. It is good to know all the benefits of this vegetable
Discovering deli fennel benefits
Fennel, scientifically known as Foeniculum vulgare , is a plant that belongs to the Umbelliferae family. A native of Asia Minor, is widespread today and cultivated throughout the Mediterranean, where their growth favours the temperate climate. In Italy it is a favourtite on the tables of the whole nation, but it is appreciated especially in the Centre-South, where it is consumed after a meal to aid in digestion. Fennel has important aromatic properties, especially the type that grows naturally. Cultivated fennel, however, also has remarkable beneficial properties that protect our digestive system.
Among the most curious properties of fennel is that of being able to alter the taste buds of those who eat it. Eating raw fennel can make foods that are consumed afterwards seem all the more deliscious!
The nutritional principles of fennel
Fennel is composed of 90% water: the rest is made up of minerals, among which potassium, vitamins, especially vitamin A, C and B and flavonoids, water-soluble compounds with remarkable beneficial properties. The most important substance contained in the fennel however is anethole. This a chemical compound capable of promoting digestion and reducing abdominal swelling and contractions.
The beneficial properties of Fennel
Fennel is known for being an excellent food in aiding the proper functioning of our gastro-intestinal tract; as well as aiding digestion itself, fennel helps to deflate the intestine and solve various problems related to poor absorption of food.
Here are all the benefits that arise from the addition of fennel in your diet:
Fennel aids digestion
The digestive properties of fennel make it an excellent food to fight problems related to poor digestion of food: its components stimulate the production of gastric juices and help fight abdominal bloating.
Fennel against aerofagia
Flatulence and bloating are embarrassing ailments: fennel is one of the most effective remedies to combat their action! The aspartic acid in fennel helps to deflate the intestine and to remove excess gases present that cause abdominal strain.
Fennel against renal colic
The fennel oil contains high percentages of anethole which helps to counteract renal colic and is an effective remedy against abdominal cramps and contractions.
Fennel oxygenates the brain
Fennel increases the transmission of nerve impulses to the brain: being a great vasodilator fennel helps to keep the brain oxygenated and keep it active and healthy.
Fennel protects the eyes
Among the beneficial properties of fennel there is also that of protecting the eyes and improving vision, slowing down the degenerative process
Fennel controls cholesterol
Fennel can control the level of blood cholesterol, especially the bad cholesterol, responsible for the onset of various cardiac diseases, such as strokes or heart attacks.
Fennel against tumors
Fennel, among its other properties, also has potent anti-cancer properties. Several studies demonstrate how fennel is effective in preventing the formation of breast and liver tumors. Fennel seed, also, can derive an oil that has protective effects in case of chemotherapies.
Fennel helps the immune system
The high content of vitamins, especially vitamin C, is a valuable help to strengthen the immune system.
Fennel purifies the body
Fennel has purifying and anti-inflammatory properties: it is able to detoxify the liver, kidneys and colon, eliminating any inflammation in the body.
Fennel is an antioxidant
Fennel contains flavonoids: these, together with vitamin C, an antioxidant, make fennel. In addition to strengthening the immune system, fights free radicals and protects the cells from potential disease, such as arthritis or joint pain.

The Centre For Excellence In Dentistry
Dental Tourism In India, Hyderabad is the fifth largest metropolis of India and has always been the right destination for world-class healthcare including Dental care. While Medical Tourism spans across several countries, India, Hyderabad comes on top with its rich history and culture with monuments, mosques, temples along with rich heritage in arts and crafts.
You will be happy to know that Hyderabad is recently also known as the Hi-Tech City of India.
Benefits of Dental Tourism India
• Availability of numerous Dental Hospitals and Dental Clinics in each and every part of India with 24 Hours medical facilities and well-qualified staff. This avoids the problems of waiting lists as seen in American or European hospitals. In addition, the one-to-one attention, shown in Indian Hospitals, availability of professionally trained personal nurses and 24-hour servants are the unimaginable luxuries for people coming from developed countries.
• Treatment in India is Cost effective and very efficient. This is a major factor that attracts medical tourist from all around the globe particularly in the field of dentistry
• Language problem poses no major hurdle as most of the doctors and hospitals speak and understand 'English' and the Medicines and Prescriptions are in Medium English. As far as Hyderabad is concerned, most people also speak reasonable Hindi and to an extent Urdu too. This makes it very easy for International travellers, especially from the Middle East countries.
Why Dental tourism India?
Places of Historical Importance in Hyderabad
Charminar is a monument and also one of the most important landmarks of the city of Hyderabad. The monument was built by Muhammad QuliQutb Shah in 1591 to commemorate the eradication of plague, shortly after he had shifted his capital from Golconda to what now is known as Hyderabad.
Golconda is a ruined city and fortress, 11 km west of the city of Hyderabad. The city and fortress are built on a granite hill that is 120 meters high and is surrounded by massive crenellated ramparts.
The Salarjung Museum is an art museum on the southern bank of the Musi River in the city of Hyderabad. The museum was opened to the public on December 16, 1951. It houses the art and antique collection of the Salarjung family, who were important nobles in the courts of the Nizams( Muslim rulers of Hyderabad ). The collection of Islamic art from all over Asia includes a variety of illuminated Korans, astrolabes, jewelled swords and daggers, and Persian carpets which is unique in nature. It also houses unique European, Chinese and Indian art pieces.
The Falaknuma palace is a remarkable edifice which stands atop a 2000 feet high hillock. It is located 5kms from Charminar and was built by NawabVikar – Ul – Ulmara, the Prime Minister of Hyderabad. This exquisite palace made of Italian marble was built by one of the Paigah nobles Nawab Vicar UlUmra in 1892. It has been recently converted into a heritage hotel and is run by world famous Taj Group of hotels.
Mecca Masjid is near Charminar in the old city of Hyderabad. It is the biggest mosque in entire south India. In the sheer size, it ranks third in the country, next only to Jama Masjid in Delhi
Hussain Sagar is a lake in the heart of the city of Hyderabad, built by Hazrat Hussain Shah Wali in 1562, during the rule of Ibrahim QuliQutb Shah Wali. It was built on a tributary of the Musi River to meet the water and irrigation needs of Hyderabad. It is now more popular for recreational facilities including boating and evening cruises. The area around the lake has been developed into parks, children entertainment facilities and eating joints.
Birla Mandir is a Hindu temple, built on a 280 feet (85 m) high hillock called NaubathPahad on a 13 acres (53,000 m2) plot. The construction took 10 years and was constructed in 1976 by Swami Ranganathananda of Ramakrishna Mission. The temple was constructed by Birla Foundation, which has also constructed several similar temples across India, all of which are known as Birla Mandir
The Hyderabad Information Technology and Engineering Consultancy City, abbreviated as HITEC City is a major High tech business district, which is one of the leading Information Technology, Engineering, Health informatics, and Bioinformatics hubs of India. HITEC City is spread across 200 acres (81 ha) of land under suburbs of Madhapur, Gachibowli, Kondapur, Manikonda, and Nanakramguda.
Like most of the western cities of the world, English is widely used, largely spoken and well understood in Hyderabad
International tourists who want to visit India for Dental Tourism are generally endowed Tourist Visa, effective from the date of issue. However, Tourist Visa can neither be extended nor converted. On the other hand, travel agents who feel a dearth of visiting India on a frequent basis may be allowed Tourist Visa for an elongated period of time.
Business Visa is usually approved of around three to six months. Nonetheless, technicians as well as experts who wish to visit India for their respective bilateral agreements or joint venture projects may be granted multiple-entry Business Visa for as long as two years of validity. To mention, approval of Business Visa by the Government is mandatory in any case.
Student Visa can be acquired by corroborating and validating admission to some recognized University or Educational Institution in India. Similarly, Employment Visa can also be obtained by furnishing of evidence of employment with recognized companies in India.

Samsung quietly unveiled accessibility to what they're contacting Samsung Blockchain that "helps developers to handle blockchain accounts simply."
Very simple sufficient. Unfortunately, the relaxation of the description is a little bit a lot more opaque.
"In addition, DApp does not require to make separate forms of transaction that follows coin forms by themselves any longer," wrote Samsung. "The SDK offers a payment gateway for cryptocurrency remittance with its UI. To use this payment solution, DApp needs a keystore. With this, Samsung Blockchain SDK back links buyers not only to the Samsung KeyStore but also to any exterior cold wallets as well."
Entry to the SDK is now limited – buyers are not in a position to down load the SDK right but need to ask for accessibility – and it's not distinct when buyers will be in a position to experiment with the code enable by itself use it in production. Samsung also announced its individual KeyStore, a unit-primarily based private crucial storage program within Samsung's stability layer, known as Knox.
"To be certain full stability, the private crucial and details found in the Samsung Blockchain Keystore are hardly ever saved to a Samsung or exterior cloud, nor is it witnessed by the devices' Android OS," they wrote.

As you see previously mentioned, there is no distinct way to accessibility the data files, even with a Samsung Developer account, and the Samsung developer blog hasn't stated the SDK. We've achieved out for further more remark.
"Official variation of Samsung Blockchain SDK will be announced by the close of 2019. In the meantime, developers can ask for a partnership to use the beta variation of the Samsung Blockchain SDK," wrote the developers in a FAQ.
The corporation announced a selection of blockchain-primarily based initiatives above the past 12 months which includes the launch of a crypto wallet in March and hints of a Dapp platform.

How Customer Success Drives Top Funnel Growth
Customer Success drives top funnel growth in many different ways. Some of the most effective include:
Providing powerful data and real-world results
Creating case studies
Generating referrals
Unlocking new markets through developing/uncovering use cases
Data & Real-World Results
Customer Success (CS) doesn't work if what the customer defines as "success" is not fully understood. Success isn't a nebulous concept that a customer simply feels, it is a data-driven result that cannot be disputed:
Customer A started out the year averaging 10 leads per month, growing their MRR by approximately 15k per month. After using our service for 6 months, Customer A got an average of 50 leads per month, and their MRR was growing by approximately 65k per month.
Having powerful, real-world results is absolutely key to attracting and closing new customers.
Case Studies
These data points can then be turned into case studies, which go deeper and tell the story behind the success. Generally, strong case studies include quotes from the customer, detailed descriptions of each step they took towards hitting their goals, and multiple in-depth data points that irrefutably show how and why those results were achieved.
These case studies can be featured on the company website, sent to prospects, and serve as a blueprint for how future customers can achieve success.
Generating Referrals
84% of B2B decision-makers start with referrals, and close rates multiply 10-20x when a lead comes through a referral rather than a cold call. In today's market, a referral strategy should not be optional - it should be a central component of every company's lead generation strategy. Fortunately, Customer Success is in the perfect position to drive referrals. It is the Customer Success Manager's job to know every detail about the customers in their portfolio, including: which ones would be willing to give referrals, which ones have strong results they could share, which ones are well-connected, and most importantly, what would motivate each of these customers to give strong referrals. Despite what many people think, it is not as simple as Customer A achieved great results, so they will give us a referral. People are finicky, and often with B2B/Enterprise companies, it is the relationship that the Customer Success Manager has built with the client that will have the largest impact on the number and quality of referrals.
Unlocking new markets through developing/uncovering use cases
When it comes to startups, it should already be well-understood that the way a company intends its customers to use its product may vary from how customers actually use it. It is only through effective Customer Success though, that a company can fully explore new use cases, gain valuable product insights, and potentially even enter new markets.
Slack was a tool originally created as part of a video game so that players could collaborate to complete missions, and now it is well on its way to making e-mail an extinct technology.
Where would Slack be if the company hadn't explored different use cases for the tool? Even now, Slack's Customer Success teams are actively exploring new use cases and creating new case studies showing how the product can be used in healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, mining, and countless other industries.
Through these means and many others, Customer Success can be a serious contributor to top-funnel growth. It is critical that companies invest in their Customer Success strategy so that they build strong relationships, generate referrals, accrue a library of amazing case studies, and explore new use cases and markets.

Brussels could exploit insider knowledge of UK in Brexit trade talks, former top negotiator says
EU officials could exploit insider knowledge about the UK gained from decades of conducting talks on its behalf if the two sides attempt to sign a trade deal, a former lead negotiator has warned.
Andrew Hood, who served under David Cameron as a legal adviser and senior UK-EU policy negotiator, told the Telegraph that Britain lacked "inherent expertise" in trade talks, as before Brexit it relied on Brussels to strike deals with other countries.
Meanwhile, he said, the EU has gradually accrued a team of "very skilled negotiators who know our position very well."
"Part of the issue that the UK government faces is that no one has been a trade negotiator for the best part of a generation on these...
