Abdul Sattar Edhi Why Google honours him today

Abdul Sattar Edhi: Why Google honours him today

Abdul Sattar Edhi, who founded the worlds largest volunteer ambulance network, would have been 89 years old on Tuesday.

Abdul Sattar Edhi founded the worlds largest volunteer ambulance network in Pakistan, the Edhi Foundation.

Unlike wealthy individuals that fund charities in their names, Edhi dedicated his life to the poor from the age of 20, when he himself was penniless in Karachi .

The reach of Edhis foundation grew internationally, and in 2015 the organisation raised $100,000 in aid relief for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Edhi was born before partition in Bantva Gujarat, India on February 28, 1928.

He died last year in Karachi of renal failure. He was offered treatment abroad, but insisted on being treated in a government hospital at home.

The Edhi Foundations slogan is: "Live and help live".

Tuesday would have been his 89th birthday.

In his honour, Google changed its logo in the United States; Iceland; Portugal; Australia; New Zealand; Japan; Estonia; UK; Denmark; Ireland and Pakistan to a doodle, or illustration, of Edhi.

Google hailed Edhis "super-efficient" ambulance service.

"In celebration of Abdul Sattar Edhi, lets all lend a hand to someone in need today," it said.

The technology giants team has created over 2,000 doodles for homepages around the world. Among those recently celebrated are Pramoedya Ananta Toer , Fred Korematsu and Edmonia Lewis .

"The doodle selection process aims to celebrate interesting events and anniversaries that reflect Googles personality and love for innovation," the company says.

No religion higher than humanity

With more than 1,800 ambulances stationed across Pakistan, the Edhi Foundation is Pakistans largest welfare organisation. In 1997, the foundation entered the Guinness World Records as the "largest volunteer ambulance organisation".

If you call 115 in the South Asian nation, the Edhi Foundation will answer.

People have become educated, but have yet to become human

In his words, at the start of his work, Edhi "begged for donations" and "people gave".

This allowed him to convert a tiny room into a medical dispensary. He also bought an ambulance that he himself drove around.

Raising more donations and enlisting medical students as volunteers, his humanitarian reach expanded across the country

Today Edhi Foundation runs outpatient hospitals, a child adoption centre and rescue boats.

It also helps in the burials of unidentified bodies .

There are cradles for "unwanted babies" outside Edhi emergency centres.

Throughout his life, Edhi emphasised the humanitarian, rather than religious, motivation for his work.

His foundation receives "zakat" (Islamic charity) donations, which he used to help Muslims, Christians and Hindus.

Asked why he helped non-Muslims, he said: "Because my ambulance is more Muslim than you."

He also famously lamented: "P eople have become educated ... but have yet to become human."

When he died, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said: "Edhi was the real manifestation of love for those who are socially vulnerable, impoverished, helpless and poor. We have lost a great servant of humanity."

Nobel Peace Prize

Throughout his life and after he died, many questioned why Edhi never received the Nobel Peace Prize.

After the nominations in 2014, the hashtag #NobelPrizeforEdhi was created ; many said he should have been recognised instead of Malala Yousafzai , who is also from Pakistan.

In an interview with the Express Tribunenewspaper, Edhi said: "I dont care about it. The Nobel Prize doesnt mean anything to me. I want these people, I want humanity."

In that same interview, he recalled an incident that he would never forget.

"There was a woman who committed suicide by jumping into the sea along with her six children," he said. "I was really saddened while giving them ghusal (Islamic washing ritual after death) as part of the funeral rituals."

According to Pakistans Nation newspaper, the State Bank of Pakistan will next month issue a commemorative coin of Rs50 in memory of Edhi.

Why USA Canada and UK clicks have High Adsense CPC Earnings Tips on how to get it

It’s a new day with a new way of thinking and clearing another compromising and contradicting Google Adsense question which most of new and some senior bloggers are still wondering why large amount of money(in terms of cost per click and overall earning) is folded in USA, Canada and United Kingdom clicks on the ads. I guess It’s real complicated issue for an ordinary mind to figure out this earning scheme. So, I think it’s a good idea to share even a little knowledge of what we know about the secret behind this American and European clicks. When i mention these countries, I don’t actually mean that they are the only countries with highest cost per click. There are others which have high overall country’s CPC above 0.5 USD as we’ll see them on progress of our post. Our discussion will be based on answering these three questions.

What makes clicks from United States, Canada and UK to have highest Cost Per Click?

List of Top countries with highest Adsense CPC.

How to get high cost per click from United States, Canada and United Kingdom?

So, let’s start by going through one point after another. Here we go..

Why USA, Canada and UK clicks have high Adsense CPC, & Earnings?

United States and Canada are the top countries in the world which lead on the Online Sales followed by United Kingdom.Most of the Americans and Canadians use internet through their smartphone and computers to controls their daily activities including all their home automation systems. The fact of these three big countries to be highly dependent to the online marketing makes the competition between Advertisers on promoting their ads to be very high. This also makes the price spent by Advertisers on promote their products online in these countries to be as higher as possible in order to win the bids offered by their competitors on advertising similar products.

Competition for online business is so high in those countries. From the record of world economic forum of the last year which shows the Estimated average revenue per online shopper, The United states leads the list by being on Top of United Kingdom followed by Sweden, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, China, Russia and the last one on top ten is Brazil. In addition, the survey carried out by Tendecial Digitales showed that about 60% of Latin American internet users buy things online. I think you can imagine how hard it is for advertisers to get a clear chance on making their ads popular in order to lead over their competitors on the gadgets they are advertising.

Advertisers spend different amount of money depending on the product they advertise so they pay bids depending on the amount invested on making their ads. It is also true that some geographic location usually used to spend and pay high price on promoting their company’s products to raise their sales as we have seen above. But there are others which are not in top ten but they’ve got relatively high competition and Cost per Click on their ads as well, these are Australia, Netherlands Antilles, Denmark, Switzerland, South Africa, New Zealand, Finland, Norway, Singapore, Ireland, Austria and some few others.

List of Top countries with highest adsense CPC.

I’ve prepared for top countries with highest cost per click from the record I kept during my experiment for examining if the countries listed had real highest CPC before preparing this post. It’s good to note that This Order or list depends from one blog to another as I have already stated earlier. So, the ads I used to carry out the test gave me the list of top countries with the highest CPC in descending order as they are seen below

1. Australia

2. United States

7. Italy

8. Poland
9.Germany

10. Tanzania

11. Belgium,

12. Netherlands.
13.South Korea
14.Slovakia
15.United Arab Emirates

It is worth to know that, countries that leads for high Adsense earning and cost per click may differ from one site to another and it’s not necessary for the top countries to perform well on all the sites and categories/niche. I’m confidently telling this because I made a simple examination on making the countries which are known to have very low cost per click to give the best performance and sure they did! Example of such countries are India and Tanzania which gave me .37$ and .57$ respectively

How to get such a high Cost per click and earning from those countries?

Opinion The BlackBerry KEYOne Is Not for You or Me and That’s Why It Is a Great BlackBerry

Opinion: The BlackBerry KEYOne Is Not for You or Me, and That’s Why It Is a Great BlackBerry

The Blackberry Priv was considered one of the bigger disappointments of last year, and while it aimed to revitalize BlackBerry’s decrepit influence, it quickly fell out of relevance.

The company’s failed efforts to bring their BBOS up to speed were swiftly redeemed as BlackBerry crowned Android the winner through their renewed strategy — an implicit coronation if anything, but an admission of defeat either way. With Android on board, many looked forward to the BlackBerry of old, the nostalgic user experience they owned shortly before touchscreen smartphone became the norm. BlackBerry phones used to be those devices we aspired to have — many of us couldn’t afford them at their prime, and some readers probably had no business truly wanting a BlackBerry in those days anyway, as many of us were too young to give it ‘proper’ use.

I briefly inherited a BlackBerry Curve 8320 of my own, a good few months before I purchased my first Android device (which also had a QWERTY keyboard to make the transition easier). I browsed on it day and night, so much that the trackball at its center eventually became slightly dislodged, severely hindering upward scrolling and my user experience with it.
blackberry android phone Yet I kept using that device, finding ways around that limitation through clever use of list loops and shortcuts, until that trackball became so embedded it was steadfastly stuck — this finally prompted me to purchase a new phone and experience Android. For all its wear and tear and its increasingly-bloated battery, that BlackBerry made me feel like I was holding the future. But at the same time, I gave it nowhere near as much use as its previous owner — I was kid with no need for serious email management, no real need to call much on it, no use for it beyond web-browsing and instant messaging.

That BlackBerry was simply not for me, it was not designed for me to take full advantage of its feature set, and truth be told… as amazing as it was, I likely could have found a better fit for my needs elsewhere. Still, having a BlackBerry at that time was “cool” — this was a few years before BlackBerry phones became a budget-friendly alternative in Argentina and other similarly-poised markets. Not every region got to fully see the downfall of BlackBerry phones from the premium enterprise solution to an utter bottom-of-the-barrel pick for lower-class third worlders, but BlackBerry phones ultimately became an anti-status symbol in my country.

I recall this story because with the new BlackBerry KEYOne, we find a phone that’s narrowly marketed towards the kind of people that originally gave the brand such prestige and reputation. While the BlackBerry Priv tried to adopt some elements that would lure casual consumers and tech enthusiasts – such as the proper curved screen, one of the few outside of Samsung’s line – the KEYOne is unapologetically BlackBerry. The QWERTY keyboard is given even more prominence by having it be fixed on the front instead of sliding into concealment, with the company flaunting its shortcuts and features instead of primarily relying on (often unfounded) nostalgia. Moreover, while the Priv was undoubtedly a two-hand device, the KEYOne aims to return to the one-handed usage comfort of older BlackBerries. The phone is tailored to maximize one-hand usability through its narrow profile (thin side bezels), smaller screen and carbon-fiber-like back for better grip.

BlackBerry spent a big chunk of its MWC 2017 conference detailing the kind of features your average mainstream tech reviewer couldn’t care less about, like the security enhancements the company specially focuses on now that their responsibility lies primarily in software. There is some notable overlap between the needs of BlackBerry’s intended audience and the average consumer or even tech enthusiast. The perfect example here is battery life, as the Snapdragon 625’s octa-core A53 setup on its 14nm process coupled with a relatively massive 3,500mAh battery will certainly output respectable results. But at the same time, there are strong criticisms surrounding the device’s processor choice, echoing the issues people had with the Priv’s Snapdragon 808.

There are a few distinctions that I think should be made here, though. The Priv came at a time where the 808 began running out of steam, and this chipset was also a particularly flawed processor in a specially bad generation of silicon from Qualcomm. The Snapdragon 625, however, has proved its might in devices like the Moto Z Play, which has a similarly-conservative approach to software and offers respectable performance and outstanding battery life. The Snapdragon 625 is a chipset we’ll likely see in various early 2017 devices, and although this is probably the most expensive 625 device we’ll ever see, it does not make the processor a bad pick. Qualcomm got on stage to remind attendees of that fact, and although it might have come off as damage control on their part, the representative wasn’t wrong.

Another phone that was not for you or me that we would have probably wanted a few years back
Other features BlackBerry offers might seem trivial or pointless to the typical smartphone user or a tech reviewer. But both of these types typically do not use their phones primarily for productivity, whereas the BlackBerry KEYOne has that clear intention. For one, the screen does not lend itself to media consumption (mainly due to its size and aspect ratio), which almost all of us value on our devices. The phone might not be able to play intensive games down the line, but the GPU it packs is more than enough to drive even less pixels than a full 1080p display. The BlackBerry KEYOne can essentially be used in a similar fashion to older BlackBerry phones unlike the Priv, which had a tall and awkwardly-positioned screen in comparison. The KEYOne puts a clear emphasis on keyboard-based navigation, and this time it benefits from a more accessible, comfortable and overall efficient keyboard placement. Finally, BlackBerry wants to lure in customers who would benefit for multiple contact shortcuts to further optimize their email or messaging routines, or send a message in a pinch to get on with their day.

One doesn’t need to look much further than BlackBerry’s own KEYOne website to understand that this isn’t a phone for the kind of people who’d readily take issue with these design decisions. Men and women in suits, sending emails or browsing with one hand over a quick coffee break… the message is clear, BlackBerry fully intends this phone to be adopted for enterprise usage, and this is evident in the way they designed and market the KEYOne, from the font and colors they use to the features they advertise and how they promote the product. They probably don’t expect this to benefit from carrier exposure (the BlackBerry Priv sure didn’t!) nor media coverage from nostalgic journalists (I personally believe that boat has sailed). The Priv failed in part because the hardware and software didn’t match BlackBerry’s niche, as the package awkwardly tried to please too many people and stumbled into too many compromises in the process.

When I used my first BlackBerry, it didn’t matter that I wasn’t BlackBerry’s target audience. I was merely thankful that I had a device which allowed me to carry the worldwide web in my pocket — in other words, I wasn’t picky. Today, I am extremely picky with my devices (now purchases) as I not only grew older, but also more opinionated. I’ve experienced dozens of phones, every year trying more flagships than I’ve collectively had in years past. Other tech reviewers are in a similar position, but at the very least almost every smartphone customer today is more picky than they were back in those days of limited options, where so many devices also had anemic potential.

The BlackBerry KEYOne is doing less than the Priv aimed for, and also less than customers like you or me expect from our next phone. But I also think that this device hits all the right notes when it comes to an enterprise device. It enhances Android’s ‘infamous’ security and imbues it with the confidence only BlackBerry can provide; it prioritizes battery life over performance, shortcuts over fancy transitions, precise text control over convenience, compactness over media consumption, durability and grip over aesthetics, curves, or sliding components. It’s not the phone I want, but it’s the phone BlackBerry needs, and maybe even the Android device the corporate world deserves. It’s not cheap, but it’s a far cry from the kind of devices that saturated carrier stores’ budget bins in Argentina. It’s a phone that goes back to the company’s roots, and to me, that makes it a better BlackBerry than the Priv and everything they’ve put out since they fell from grace. It’s not a phone I’d buy (and let’s be honest, many of its critics never had an intention to buy one anyway), but it’s a hell of a lot more similar to the BlackBerry I once looked up to and admittedly had no need for.
