Rebecca Crosby at Popular Information:
Major corporations, including Mastercard, Meta, and Coca-Cola, are quietly sponsoring a Canadian conference headlined by Christopher Rufo, a far-right activist and crusader against diversity initiatives. Many of these same companies, however, champion diversity in their public communications.  Rufo is listed as a featured speaker for the Canada Strong and Free Regional Networking Conference 2024, which will be held in Alberta, Canada on September 21. The event, which was first highlighted by DeSmog, is billed as an “enriching exploration of conservatism in Canada.” On X, the organization promoted the event using a photo of Rufo with the text, “Fighting the left and wokism.” 
Rufo has been credited with creating the hysteria around Critical Race Theory (CRT) in educational settings. In 2020, Rufo appeared on Tucker Carlson’s former show on Fox News and called on Trump to end CRT training. Within days, the Trump administration released a memo outlining a ban on diversity training in the government, and Trump issued the executive order shortly after.
When it became clear that CRT is a complex legal theory that is not taught in K-12 schools, Rufo shifted his attention to lambasting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Rufo appeared with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) as DeSantis signed the Stop W.O.K.E. Act, which limits workplace conversations about diversity and race. (That aspect of the law has been enjoined by a federal court as unconstitutional.) Rufo has also been a leader in the crusade to ban discussion of LGBTQ issues in schools. On X, Rufo insinuated that people were attempting to indoctrinate pre-kindergarten students with information about “gender transitioning, exotic pronouns, and simplified Queer Theory.” Rufo has also said that “parents have good reason” to be concerned about “‘grooming’ in public schools.” 
In 2023, Rufo was appointed by DeSantis to the board of trustees at the New College of Florida as part of a right-wing takeover of the liberal arts college. In his newsletter, Rufo bragged that New College was “the first public university in America to begin rolling back the encroachment of gender ideology and queer theory on its academic offerings.” In an interview with the New York Times, Rufo said that New College previously enrolled too many women, which turned it into “a social justice ghetto.” On X, in response to pictures of dozens of books at the college being thrown away, Rufo said, “We abolished the gender studies program. Now we’re throwing out the trash.”  Companies who claim to support diversity are sponsoring the upcoming event promoting Rufo and his ideological agenda. Mastercard, for example, prides itself on being one of the leaders for DEI initiatives among major corporations. Mastercard’s website states that “[d]iversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are what set Mastercard apart by making us more adaptable, more innovative and more creative.” Mastercard says that DEI “makes us better” and is “part of our core values and underpins everything we do.” 
Why are major corporations sponsoring an “anti-woke” conference in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada featuring right-wing paranoiac Christopher Rufo.
Rufo helped foment the manufactured crusade against “CRT” in K-12 schools, LGBTQ+ inclusion policies, and DEI in businesses.

Can We Say "HYPOCRISY"???
I have long been a subscriber to Judd Legum’s Popular Information newsletter that often provides information and perspective about important things that really matter but may be ‘overlooked’ by the mainstream media.  In his most recent newsletter we learn about a very bigoted, racist, ‘anti-Woke’ conference that will be taking place next month and provides some jaw-dropping information about some…

In "The Accidental Superpower," Peter Zeihan treats geopolitics as the great augur of future events. Zeihan does not reference Asimov's "Foundation" series or the idea of "psychohistory," but the resemblance is striking. Geopolitics like psychohistory allows us to anticipate broad historical forces. Zeihan like Seldon advocates harnessing historical trends to change the future. And, funnily enough, Zeihan like Seldon predicts a coming age of turmoil and conflict. Zeihan believes the whole global system we've known since the end of WWII is going to change. And so, as in Asimov's "Foundation," Zeihan believes that leaders that harness geopolitics will make better decisions than leaders that don't.
Except America. America is so blessed by geography and history that we are immune to the world's troubles. We will dominate the 21st Century without even trying. We are, Zeihan says, "The Accidental Superpower". But to explain this difference between America and the world, it is necessary to first treat geopolitics.
For instance, two populations of equal size, one in the mountains, one in the river valleys, will develop in some predictable ways. The population in the river valley will farm fertile lands and build money on trade; the population in the mountain valley is likely to stay poor and fragment into fractious ethnic enclaves. But the river nation may be more vulnerable to invasion, the mountain people likelier to hide away and thwart foreign oppression. The same geopolitical realities can be good or bad, depending on the currents of the day.
"Balance of transport" is the fruit of the agricultural revolution. Sedentary people can store up wealth and accumulate resources. So a strong nation needs to be bound together by trade.
As a positive example, Zeihan cites Egypt, where geography binds the people together. The Nile forms a stable channel of trade, while the desert segregates Egypt from the outside world. In a world where the Pharaoh can inspect his entire country from river barge, it's only natural that a stable and centralized government would rule for millennia on end. But when new technologies like the chariot emerged and made the desert a highway for armies, it was only natural that Egypt would cease to be independent, and be governed by a succession of Persians and Romans and Byzantines and Arabs.
As a negative example of "balance of transport," Zeihan cites, interestingly, Canada. Although Canada is a wealthy nation, its geography actually pulls its provinces apart. Zeihan notes that the barren Canadian Shield, the high passes of the Rockies, and the great gulf of the St. Lawrence River naturally divide Canada into several distinct regions. It is thus easier for each region to trade with the United States than with each other. This explains, in some degree, why Quebec never fully integrated with the rest of Canada, and why Quebecois secession in the 90's would have effectively ended Canada's existence. In a later chapter, Zeihan speculates that Alberta could pose such a risk in the future, as its oil and mineral wealth give it a very different economy from the rest of Canada. At the same time, union with Canada is almost entirely a burden on Alberta, because it is the only province that pays more to Toronto than it receives, and it is heavily restricted by environmental policies imposed on the whole country. It might be going too far to imagine Albertan secession, as Zeihan does, but this kind of analysis might provide a wealth of insights into the future of Canadian politics.
America's waterways bless us with a tremendous "balance of transport". They are at the center of America's identity and history. They allow us to accumulate wealth effortlessly. Our waterways help explain the historical mystery of how 13 colonies joined in common purpose against the British: America's East is one economic unit. Our waterways help explain the historical mystery of why the American government has been so small: America is naturally so easy to traverse that government roads were never needed. (Zeihan notes that when Germany was building its railroad network in the 1840's, America's federal government had built one road, the "National" Road.) With our tremendous water network, things that would be impossible to any other country are casual accomplishments in America.
This is only the beginning of America's geopolitical blessings. The majority of the Lower 48 is in a temperate zone, a perfect climate for growing crops. We are separated from the rest of the world by the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, which makes us almost impervious to invasion. We dominate the North American continent, vastly overpowering the two countries we have to share it with. Of the Rocky Mountains running through the North American continent, we control most of the major passable valleys. We have so many perfect world-class deepwater ports that we aren't even using all of it. ("The United States has more port potential than the rest of the world combined. [...] Chesapeake Bay alone boasts longer stretches of prime port property than the entire continental coast of Asia from Vladivostok to Lahore.") We are the only major power with access to both the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans, and can sell our goods in either direction. We are blessed with fertile valleys and croplands, rocky rivers for mills for industry, oil and natural gas and minerals and raw materials of every variety. Our balance of transport is effortless; industrialization came naturally; we easily maintain the greatest navy in the world; and not once but twice our economy has built the greatest military force ever known. We have, here, in America, everything we could ever want.
The crux of our current world order is rooted in the resolution to World War II. After the war, America had the world's only major industrial economy which had not been destroyed by that war. Russia was the world's only other power. By any historical standard, Zeihan argues, the expected next move was for America to occupy Europe, establish military hegemony, and then impose peace or war on the world and loot Europe of what remained. Instead, at the Bretton Woods conference, America laid the basis for a new world order based on free trade
America didn't conquer the world; it "bribed" it through its economic strength. As the Cold War progressed, more and more countries joined the free trade system America established. The "Bretton Woods" system established global near-peace and prosperity, mostly free trade the world over, almost an end to wars over access to markets and raw materials, everything we today call "capitalism" and "globalism". But all this is just a byproduct of American foreign policy, and is highly unusual
It is a point that cannot be understated: the whole order of global politics depends on America's international free trade system. We have changed the normal course of politics for every country that is part of that system. Germany is an industrial power today on the base of their exports, which they can only maintain because America keeps safe the flow of raw materials on which Germany relies. China is an industrial power today because America keeps safe the flow of manufactured goods from China to its customer nations. Japan and Britain have access to oil because America safeguards the global market on which the tankers travel. The global economic system is safe because America pays for it to be safe. We subsidize the wealth and prosperity of the entire world.
And this is the problem: America's free trade system benefits everyone in the world except America.
America pays for the global free trade system. America hardly uses the global free trade system. America bears most of the burdens of the global free trade system. America reaps few of the rewards. With the implosion of the Soviet Union, there are not even ideological motivations for us to maintain the Bretton Woods system. Thus, it is not only logical but inevitable that the free trade system the world currently enjoys will come to an end.
The second global crisis will be growing competition over oil. Global oil supplies are not unlimited, and industrial economies will be competing more for natural resources in order to maintain their standards of living. This is not a new struggle, and the competition in oil has been mediated in large part by America's leadership. But now America has shale. With the development of shale, America has gone from being an oil importer to an oil exporter. We are no longer dependent on the Middle East for our needs, and are only involved for the sake of our allies. So it's only natural that our interest in oil will wane at the exact moment that the rest of the world's interest grows. (And what do our allies do for us, anyways?) So Zeihan predicts that American mediation will fall apart. Conflicts over oil will escalate to wars, and whole nations will have to act very quickly if they don't want the lights to go out.
The third major crisis is a global demographic shift. The world's major economies are all ageing. The baby boomer phenomenon was not contained to America; all over the world the elderly are going to retire en masse. The next generation will be much smaller. This implies, of course, crises over pensions and other social security systems. But it implies something much greater about the availability of capital. Workingmen are generally net producers, as they save money in anticipation of retirement. Retirees are net consumers -- they make little income and draw from their savings. So as the global baby boomer generation retires, there will be a massive withdrawal from savings accounts the world over. People who have been investing money will start saving money. And overnight the supply global capital will dry up. There will no longer be as much money to invest in roads, new businesses, hospitals in Afghanistan, factories in Bangladesh. A lot of the "progress" we have come to expect in world affairs will suddenly come to a stop.
So this is "The Coming International Disorder". America, through its blessings and God's "special providence," is powerful without even trying. We are "The Accidental Superpower". We built a new world order based on global capitalism and free trade, one that suspended the normal everyday conflicts over markets and materials. That suspension of global conflicts is coming to an end. America is going to retreat from the affairs of the world, and will exercise such dominance that the 21st Century will be the American Century. The rest of the world will come to blows.
• China. China is geographically unstable. Its mountains and river valleys have always worked to congregate its wealth and capital on the coasts, away from the core of the country. This will cause great internal divisions as China seeks to navigate the 21st Century. Because China's wealth is totally dependent on the Bretton Woods system America has so graciously provided. China would still be a poor country today if America had not subsidized China's industrialization and shipping all over the world. Without Bretton Woods and with the coming demographic crisis, China will no longer have the capital it has used to develop and pacify its population. And if China wants to break out, it is surrounded at sea by hostile island nations, and on land by hostile conquered minority peoples. Zeihan predicts that China poses no threat to America whatsoever, we could win a trade war with two hands tied behind our backs. If China poses a threat for anyone it's more likely Japan over oil.
• Russia. Russia faces one of the worst demographic crises of any major power. Its birthrates collapsed after the fall of the Soviet Union and have never really recovered. This is especially concerning because Russia is so geographically unstable that it needs a healthy population to guard its borders. Russia has no real frontier, there are no natural barriers like a great mountain range or desert that protect it from other nations. This is why it has usually protected itself by expanding and invading other nations. But today Russia cannot maintain its current borders if its population is going to shrink. So its only logical that Russia will act now, before the demographic crisis, to push forward into Europe where its borders will be smaller. (Russia's moves in Crimea and Ukraine fit this pattern.) Zeihan predicts, though, that the odds against Russia are probably too great, and it is not unlikely that Russia may collapse entirely as a country before the century is out. (And still the main threat Russia poses it to our allies, not America itself.)
• Mexico. Mexico may be America's real rival and threat. Mexico is troubled in every way that America is blessed. But proximity to America means that, for all its troubles, Mexico's markets will always be safe. Even as a drug war rages over a country practically consumed by anarchy, Mexico is one of the world's 20 largest economies. So Mexico can only go up from here. Its relationship with the US will then become more contentious. The key issue is the border -- the US-Mexican border is a vast stretch of desert and mountain, it exists only on a map. It is a perfect hideout for cartels, criminals, and illegal immigrants. The same geography that brought Americans into Mexico in the 1840's will now work in reverse (has already worked in reverse), at America's expense. Conflict will only grow. It is a deep irony that the country that really portends the greatest trouble for America going forward may not be Russia or China but Mexico.
If I had to criticize Zeihan's model, I would say that history does not always move in aggregates. Geopolitics can predict large events, but not small ones. This is something Asimov discusses at length in his treatment of "psychohistory" in the Foundation series. There, for thousands of years, events unfold exactly as psychohistorian Hari Seldon predicted them. And then, without forewarning, one man leaps off the pages of history, gathers together a new empire, and thwarts all expectations of history. That man, "The Mule," makes an ass of all our assumptions. Psychohistory can predict broad trends but not small variances.
So I would level this criticism at the lens of geopolitics. It considers nations, not individuals, not how single leaders or real people diverge from expected trends.
Zeihan, for instance, considers immigration only in positive terms, noting how it renews America's demographic pyramid. But it's clear that immigration causes great conflict within America, conflict that does not appear in traditional geopolitical models. Likewise, it is not obvious to me that America remaining powerful on the world stage means America staying stable at home. America and Americans often have different interests. I can certainly think of one global power which, in the Third Century, turned to violence and civil war, even as it continued to dominate the world around it.

Welcome to the news channel of the Planet Plus Tv,Today we will tell you about Hurricane Ian,Cuba,, Hundreds of thousands of residents in the west of the island were left without power because of storm damage. Forecasters have warned of the risk of storm surges, flash floods and mudslides. Ian is expected to strengthen en route to Florida. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke of the threat of a "major disaster". As of 12:00 GMT on Tuesday, the centre of the storm was located about 15km (10 miles) north-east of the city of Pinar del Rio in Cuba, moving north at nearly 19km/h, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports. It said Cuba could see up to 30cm (12in) of rain from Hurricane Ian. Some 38,000 people were evacuated in the province of Pinar del Rio, according to AFP news agency. Cuban authorities declared emergencies in six areas, with forecasters warning of storm surges on the coast, along with flash floods and mudslides. Hurricane conditions are expected along the west coast of Florida on Wednesday. The governor said there could be "broad impacts throughout the state", while residents have been stocking up on food, water, medicine and fuel. "This is a really big hurricane at this point," he said at a Monday news conference, urging residents to "remain calm", but "do what you need to be prepared". Some parts of the US state have not seen a hurricane of this magnitude in about a century. The governor declared a state of emergency for all of Florida over the weekend and has activated 5,000 National Guard troops to assist with relief efforts. Mr DeSantis said Ian posed a risk of "dangerous storm surge, heavy rainfall, flash flooding, strong winds, hazardous seas and isolated tornadic activity". Along Florida's Tampa Bay coast, grocery store shelves were quickly cleared of basic necessities and there were long queues at gas stations. "It's never too early to prepare," Tampa Mayor Jane Castor tweeted. The Tampa area could receive its first direct hit from a hurricane since 1921, officials say, and may see 3m (10ft) of storm surge cause flooding along the coast. Local officials in Tampa, Miami and Fort Lauderdale are distributing free sandbags to help residents protect their homes from flooding. Meteorologists have said flash flooding is possible by Tuesday in the Florida peninsula and Florida Keys as the hurricane approaches. The White House has also made its own emergency declaration, which will help federal and state officials co-ordinate disaster relief and assistance. Federal officials are pre-positioning millions of meals and litres of water in Florida and neighbouring Alabama. President Joe Biden has postponed a planned visit to Florida on Tuesday. The launch of Nasa's most powerful ever rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida has also been delayed. The Artemis 1 rocket was rolled off its launch pad on Monday. The Caribbean is still reeling from the effects of Hurricane Fiona, which tore through the region last week. Moving northward to parts of the Atlantic Canada coastline and eastern Quebec, Fiona claimed two lives, washed homes into the sea and downed power lines over the weekend. #hurricane_ian #storm_Ian #planet_plus_tv #cuba_ian ________________________________ The channel lists such natural disasters as: 1) Geological emergencies: #earthquake  #volcanic_eruption  mudflow, #landslide landfall, avalanche; 2) Hydrological emergencies:  #flash_flood #tsunami  Limnological catastrophe, floods, flooding; 3) Fires: Forest fire, Peat fire, Glass Fire, Wildfire; 4) Meteorological emergencies: #tornado, #cyclone #blizzard  Hail, Drought, Hail, #hurricane #storm, Thunderstorm, typhoon Tempest, Lightning.

+ “Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage.” ~ Victor Kiam
2020 | A Year in Review
What a year 2020 has been (I know that’s an understatement!) For me, it has been year of great enlightenment. As I look back across the year I share with you all some wonderful moments:
- In January travelled to Bali. The only travel experience for 2020.
- In February 2020, I became founding partner in dynamic new educational enterprise, titled – a School for tomorrow, which is a global educational network supporting students, teachers, and school leaders to thrive in a new world environment.
- In March 2020, we launched a new educational podcast series titled Game Changers, with co-host Associate Professor of Education & Enterprise Dr Philip SA Cummins. The Game Changers podcast is for those who want to change the game of schooling and features prominent Australia and International educators as weekly guests discussing the purpose of schooling and learning for today’s world. Game Changers has developed a huge global following in a short period of time. Across all podcast streaming service platforms, Game Changers recently ticked over 50,000 listens.
- In March, April & May 2020 I co-authored three Continuous Learning Toolkits – Volume I | People & Practice, Volume II | Leading Through Crisis and Volume III | Wellness By Design®. These free publications provided school leaders and teachers, across the globe, with research-driven guidance to best respond to the COVID-19 crisis. These publications also showcased numerous creative innovation models that many schools and teachers implemented as they pivoted towards a new normal of learning from the home campus. Models that had a strong emphasis of fostering character, competency and wellness, at the centre. Each publication has reached a staggering 20,000 download impressions.
- In April I was interviewed for The Educator magazine: Now for the good news: Sector-blind resource-sharing on the rise and Should the ATAR be cancelled for 2020?
- In April I was a guest on Brodie McGee’s excellent EDUCAST: The podcast for teachers discussing wellbeing in the time of remote learning.
- In May we launched a School for tomorrow’s membership platform, a dynamic online learning community, an intentional gathering space for students, teachers and school leaders to connect, share, growth and achieve. The platform hosts asynchronous bespoke courses for members to access, anytime, anywhere, by anyone.
- In May 2020 we hosted the first Game Changers Global Gathering live event via the a School for tomorrow YouTube Channel, bringing together panellists from Australia, Africa, Asia and Northern America. The event also had a strong Indigenous voice, with a focus on the theme of what the future student, the future teacher and future school leader may look like, post COVID-19.
- In June this year The Association of Independent Schools of South Australia (AISSA) invited me to present creative innovations for middle school learning and assessment frameworks via two separate workshops.
- In July, I was humbled by The Educator magazine who featured me on the 2020 Hot List, as one of Australia’s most innovative thought leaders in education.
- In July, Dr Philip SA Cummins and I presented a keynote address at the So What’s Next? Teaching, Learning and Leading in a New Reality conference in New Zealand facilitated by Westlake Boys High School.
- In July I had the pleasure of appearing on Michelle Cox’s The Wabi Sabi Series podcast talking all things education and why schools are broken. Michelle is a fellow s p a c e cadet.
- In August I was invited to present a provocation keynote at Sir Manasseh Meyer International School, Singapore as part of their staff professional learning day.
- In September 2020 I was excited to be invited by Educational Data Talks (Dr Anna Dabrowski & Dr Timothy O’Leary) to join over 80 educational influencers to present at their inaugural virtual conference titled, Lessons from Lockdown.
- In September the Allora! Italian Australian News publication published an article about my work in education.
- In October I was invited to present an insight into a School for tomorrow at the Catholic Education Melbourne’s Southern Region learning & teaching forum.
- In November I was privileged to participate on a panel with Dr Deborah Netolicky and Jan Own AM as part of McGregor State High School’s excellent Learning Insights Series.
- In November I attended Australia’s Largest Unconference s p a c e series, joining some of the country’s most innovative thinkers to build a more ambitious Australia. In partnership with Mary-Lou O’Brien and Zeina Chalich we delivered a workshop around the future of schooling.
- In November I had the opportunity to deliver a firestarter keynote at LearnLife’s [RE]LEARN 2020 The Learning Innovation Festival titled Learn Well, Toward A Better Normal.
- In November Game Changers became the official podcast partner of LearnLife’s [RE]LEARN 2020 The Learning Innovation Festival.

How Arctic Communities Took Their Own Measures on COVID-19
Across the Arctic each summer, thousands of tourists and scientists descend upon the region’s villages, research stations, and glaciers. This summer, however, as the coronavirus pandemic rages worldwide, the Arctic has returned to its quieter rhythms, recalling a time before the age of mass tourism and climate change science. With travel into and out of the region still heavily restricted in many areas, residents have their communities to themselves.
Remoteness has made much of the Arctic, apart from Russia, a coronavirus success story. Highlighting the benefits of being disconnected during a global pandemic, northern locales that have best weathered the coronavirus storm are those that have been able to quickly sever their transportation ties with the outside world. Greenland made headlines in April when it became one of the first countries in the world to defeat coronavirus. Iceland also brought its pandemic under control and in June became one of the first countries to reopen to tourism, albeit in a limited and controlled fashion.
The Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard has still not had a single coronavirus case. In April, the manager of Longyearbyen’s convenience store, Ronny Strømnes, remarked to High North News, “It is no longer a question about whether or not the corona virus will spread to Svalbard, but rather a question about when.” Over four months later, that “when” still has not arrived. That could change, however, given that the archipelago reopened to tourists from numerous European countries on August 12.
Nunavut has also had zero coronavirus cases. The Canadian territory has no roads to the rest of the country and can only be reached by plane or ship (or snowmachine, dog team, or on foot, if you’re really intrepid). All people planning to travel to Nunavut must undergo a mandatory 14-day isolation period in either Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton or Yellowknife, which helps keep the virus at bay, in southern Canada where hospitals are better prepared.
And while Russia has one of the highest numbers of infections in the world, the far-flung region of Chukotka, which faces the Bering Sea and which has no road access to the rest of Russia, has only seen 159 cases (granted, its population is only ~50,000). Other parts of Siberia and the Russian Arctic that are better connected and which have sizable fly-in, fly-out labor forces, like the gas-rich Yamal Peninsula, have had much higher incidence rates.
For Svalbard, Nunavut, Chukotka, and many other parts of the Arctic, their disconnectedness has been one of their saving graces during the pandemic. Yet roads are gradually inching their way forward across the tundra. Over the past decade, work has slowly been progressing on the Anadyr Highway to connect Chukotka to the rest of Russia’s road network, while there are also tentative plans to connect Nunavut to Manitoba.
In recent years in roadless communities in places like Canada, as I explored in my research in the Northwest Territories, as Elders who remember the times before settlement have passed away, public support has grown for building new roads to the outside. Post-pandemic, those attitudes may shift.
Tumblr media

Learning from oral histories of past pandemics
Apart from capitalizing on their remoteness, many Arctic communities’ quick decisions to lock down and close their borders can also be attributed to past experiences of devastating pandemics originating from contact with the outside world, often within living memory.
On June 11, 1900, for instance, a steamer arrived to the island of St. Paul, Alaska in the Pribilof Islands carrying supplies and relatives from nearby St. George. The two islands formed the hub of Alaska’s fur seal industry, which was so lucrative that it quickly recuperated the $7.2 million the U.S. spent on purchasing Alaska from Russia in 1867. Given the islands’ imbrication into national and global commodity circuits, just like the oil fields in Alaska and Russia where coronavirus has broken out, the well-connected islands experienced two outbreaks of influenza and measles in quick session in the summer of 1900.
Five days after the steamer arrived to St. Paul, influenza besieged the community. With nearly the entire Aleut population ailing, no men that season were able to participate in the seasonal seal drive. An outbreak of measles followed a few weeks later, likely brought by a ship from the nearby village of Unalaska. This disease had an even more severe impact, with only two people out of the entire population of approximately 200 Aleuts not bedridden, as scientist Robert Wolfe recounts in a study on “Alaska’s Great Sickness.” The few Euro-American employees on the island escaped illness entirely, likely thanks to their previous exposure to similar diseases and their more spacious accommodations.
In Arctic Indigenous communities, information about these traumatic pandemics has been passed down through oral histories that are informing strategies regarding how to deal with coronavirus. During the Virtual Conference on COVID-19’s Impacts on the Arctic organized by the U.S. Naval War College, the Wilson Center’s Polar Institute, and the U.S. Arctic Research Commission this past May, the audience heard firsthand from Kaare Sikuaq Ericksen, who serves as the North Slope Science Liaison for the Ukpea?vik Inupiat Corporation in Utqia?vik, Alaska. He retold a story he’d often heard growing up concerning how the village of Shishmaref, just north of the Bering Strait, dealt with the 1918 epidemic. Ericksen recounted,
“They heard that something bad was coming in 1918…They put up watchtowers outside of their village, armed guards, and they were told to ‘shoot on sight’ if people approached. It’s a famous example of where they put a stop – they put extreme measures – to that 1918 epidemic right there so that it didn’t travel further north…That story has been repeated over and over on social media lately. It’s something that we grew up hearing and it set the stage for how villages like Shihsmaref reacted. We’re able to say, ‘We took extreme measures in the past and it worked. We need to take extreme measures now.'”
A little over a hundred years later, as the coronavirus pandemic spread from Asia to Europe and North America, communities in rural Alaska took early measures to close their borders. On March 18, the mayor of the North Slope Borough, Harry Brower, Jr., issued an emergency order declaring, “Given the importance of protecting our people from the threat of this harmful communicable disease, I have determined that it is in the interests of the North Slope Borough to take action to restrict and suspend entry into our communities. We endeavor not to endure, but to prevent the presence of the Coronavirus from spreading to the North Slope of Alaska.”
Boris Johnson, it should be noted, did not lock down the United Kingdom until March 23.
Some cases have still occurred on the North Slope, including a recent spate at the Alpine oil field outside the village of Nuiqsut. But generally, the statistics illustrate that the Alaskan Arctic and the Aleutians have been spared the worst of the pandemic thanks to heeding the lessons learned from past tragedies.
International support for keeping the Arctic virus-free
Scientists and international organizations working in the Arctic have generally supported the local, bottom-up efforts in the region to keep the virus out.
Ongoing expeditions like the massive €140 million, German-funded MOSAiC icebreaker expedition that began in October 2019 to drift with the pack ice in order to gather a continuous record for one year of various Arctic environmental phenomena changed their plans in order to comply with new regulations meant to contain the spread of coronavirus. Since Norwegian air travel restrictions meant that a crew change was no longer possible in Svalbard, instead, the Polarstern vessel sailed south to meet two other German ships offshore to carry out the crew change, while many other scientists extended their stay on board by two months. This change of plans meant that the MOSAiC expedition had to sacrifice its goal of collecting an unbroken 12-month record of data. Doing so, however, protected the safety of those onboard the ship and the people living in Svalbard.
Meanwhile, plans for new fieldwork campaigns in places like Greenland and Alaska have been postponed indefinitely. In March, the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Office of Polar Programs announced that it would not be “business-as-usual for either the Arctic or Antarctic research enterprise for the foreseeable future,” and underscored that “it is vital that polar research and operations do not introduce COVID-19 to remote polar regions where medical capabilities are limited and would be quickly overwhelmed.”
Similarly in early April, the International Association of Arctic Social Scientists published a statement on the pandemic’s impacts and responses and urged researchers to avoid travel to Arctic communities “to prevent the spread of COVID-19 until all risks are eliminated.” The statement further warned this could necessitate delays of over 12 months.
The Arctic Council, too, has taken on a strong leadership role during the pandemic. The briefing document released for Senior Arctic Officials in June emphasizes the need for both high-tech data sharing and oral traditions, which help ensure that “historical memories and communtiy resilience is passed on to youth.”
The Arctic’s local and national governments and its international organizations thus demonstrate a willingness to borrow from both traditional knowledge and Western science in countering the pandemic. They also exhibit a desire to work with people living in the region to avoid repeating past mistakes associated with colonialism. Today, when the science says that coronavirus is a highly contagious respiratory disease, those working in Arctic science or government circles listen. And when an Elder recounts stories about how outbreaks of disease like the Spanish flu in 1918 killed many of his relatives, they often listen, too.
Can Arctic communities hold down the fort against coronavirus in 2021?
Arctic communities will not be able to keep the rest of the world out forever. The pressure on them to reopen is only going to increase in the coming months, both from within and without.
Tumblr media

Already this summer, Norwegian cruise line Hurtigruten tried – and failed miserably – to restart Arctic expedition cruises. After MS Roald Amundsen docked in Tromsø – but before it made it to Svalbard, fortunately – over 40 passengers tested positive for COVID-19. The outbreak led the Norwegian government to immediately ban cruises with more than 100 people on board from disembarking for two weeks. Alaska’s first cruise of the season was also cut short in early August after a passenger tested positive, leading the entire season to be cancelled.
In light of these issues, French luxury cruise line Ponant appears to have backtracked with trying to still offer its fully-booked, 23-day, €20,000 per passenger cruise via the Northwest Passage, which planned to visit villages in Greenland, Canada, and Alaska. However, its 25-day cruise along the Northeast Passage from Tromsø to Nome is still going ahead and will depart 31 August.
Hurtigruten and Ponant are eagerly accepting bookings for next summer. In June and July 2021, Hurtigruten’s ill-fated MV Roald Amundsen plans to sail twice along an itinerary that will take passengers to nearly a dozen small settlements along the Inner Passage, in the Aleutians, and along the Bering Strait. The cruise will visit places like the aforementioned village of St. Paul, Alaska, so devastated by the Great Epidemic in 1900. Today, its population numbers fewer than 500 people and the island has no hospital; only a health clinic.
Tumblr media

The Arctic Council’s report on coronavirus stresses that later waves of a pandemic can be more aggressive than earlier ones. While the 1918 Spanish flu did not reach the municipality of Arjeplog in northern Sweden until 1920, the report explains, the area had the highest overall mortality rate in all of Sweden.
While the coronavirus is mutating into possibly deadlier strains, people’s tolerance for lockdowns and quarantines is wearing thin. Local economies are struggling, especially those based on tourism or science, as has become more common in the Arctic in recent years. Charting a way forward will not be easy, but in the Arctic, the willingness of communities to listen to their Elders and of regional officials to listen to local and Indigenous populations is promising.
The Arctic is diverse, and its communities have experienced the pandemic in different ways. Yet at a broad scale, the Arctic could emerge as a model for how to deal with a pandemic in remote reaches of the world. Whether that model can be exported to places experiencing similar conditions like the Amazon may prove to be the next challenge.

Prince Harry's LA Life Is a 'Breath of Fresh Air' From Royal Life, Says Source
Prince Harry is now settled in Los Angeles along with his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and their young son, Archie Harrison. The former senior royal couple is lying low in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, so any major projects that they have in the works are likely on hold. Still, the two have found ways to get out and about, including a recent trip out to deliver meals in the L.A. area. Although a few reports have indicated that Prince Harry is struggling to cope with his new lifestyle, a recent story by Us Weekly claims something quite the opposite — and in fact, Prince Harry could be living his best life. 
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wanted to live life on their terms
View this post on Instagram This afternoon, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the annual Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey on Commonwealth Day, alongside Her Majesty The Queen and Members of The Royal Family. The Commonwealth is a global network of 54 countries, working in collaboration towards shared economic, environmental, social and democratic goals, and the Service today seeks to highlight the vast community which spans every geographical region, religion and culture, embracing diversity amongst its population of 2.4 billion people, of which 60 percent are under 30 years old. As President and Vice-President of the @Queens_Commonwealth_Trust, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been passionate advocates of the Commonwealth having spent many years working closely with the next generation of Commonwealth leaders. The theme of the Commonwealth for 2020 is ‘Delivering A Common Future: Connecting, Innovating, Transforming', placing emphasis on youth, the environment, trade, governance, and ICT (Information and Communications Technology) and innovation. From working to protect the earth's natural resources and preserving the planet for generations to come, to championing fair trade and empowering the youth of today to transform the communities of tomorrow, the Service celebrates the Commonwealth's continued commitment to delivering a peaceful, prosperous and more sustainable future for all. Photo © PA A post shared by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal) on Mar 9, 2020 at 10:51am PDT For many years, Prince Harry was among the most popular members of the British royal family. The public and press watched him grow into a fun-loving man with a heart of gold. However, after Prince Harry married Meghan, an American actress with strong opinions of her own, there was a marked shift in the way that the country started viewing him. The redheaded royal and his wife began distancing themselves from the media, slowly but surely. They made sure that their son’s christening was a private affair, they refused to share too many personal pictures, and, most tellingly of all, they separated themselves from the palace. By moving into their own, private residence, creating their own Instagram page, and speaking out against many of the tabloid stories, Prince Harry and Meghan clearly indicated that they were ready to do things their way. Still, not many could have anticipated that in January 2020, the couple would announce their retirement as senior members of the royal family. 
Prince Harry’s new life
Immediately after posting their controversial announcement on Instagram, Prince Harry and Meghan began making big moves. The Duchess of Sussex retreated to a quiet estate in Canada, along with baby Archie, while Prince Harry began the process of tying up their affairs within the royal family. Many royal fans assumed that the couple might end up staying in Canada permanently. However, in early spring, Prince Harry and Meghan quietly packed up and moved to Los Angeles.  While settling into their new, very private home base in Los Angeles, Prince Harry has still been in touch with his family. Reportedly, he chats with them on a regular basis via video chat, and even participated, along with his wife and son, in a video conference call with the entire family, in honor of Queen Elizabeth’s recent birthday. 
Prince Harry’s life in Los Angeles is a fresh new reality
Tumblr media
Prince Harry | Joe Giddins – WPA Pool/Getty Images According to a recent report from Us Weekly, Prince Harry’s move to Los Angeles has been “a breath of fresh air from his former duties” and that he is finally excited for what the future might hold. Certainly, living in Los Angeles grants the couple easier access to the celebrity culture that they seem to gravitate towards. In addition, while the California paparazzi might be intense, they likely won’t be as vicious towards Meghan as what many of the British tabloids have been. As retired senior royals, Prince Harry and Meghan are free to set their own rules, and no longer have to live by the constraints imposed on other royals such as Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge. If Meghan wants to step out wearing shorts or to rock a bold new hairstyle or lip color, she no longer has to worry about what the palace might think. For Prince Harry, in particular, life in California will surely be nothing but positive.  Read More Read the full article

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Phone Will Have A 100x Digital Zoom Camera, Report Says
Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Phone Will Have A 100x Digital Zoom Camera, Report Says
The Samsung Galaxy S20 is well and truly on the way, and the device is set to be one of the best phones of the year. Now, we have a few more details about the upcoming phone, thanks to a new leak from 91mobiles.
Digital Cameras
This leak in particular shows off what 91mobiles claims to be official renders of the upcoming phones, along with more details about the camera and the design of the devices. It shows the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G — but we can safely assume that at least some of these features will be present on other Galaxy S20 models too.
Under the hood, the report notes that the Galaxy S20 Ultra will pretty much have the specs that we would expect. The device will offer a Snapdragon 865 or Exynos 990 processor, depending on the market. Along with that, the device will offer 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage — though there reportedly will be a microSD card slot to expand upon that.
Notably, Samsung has opted for a 2.5D glass on the front of the Galaxy S20 Ultra, which is slightly different from the 3D glass that the company has used in the past few years. On the back, there’s a significantly larger camera module than on previous Samsung devices — both in how much it protrudes from the back of the phone and its footprint. The device will reportedly have a 120Hz display too — though out of the box it may be set to 60Hz.
Of course, that camera module houses some pretty impressive camera tech. The Galaxy S20 Ultra will feature a four camera sensors, including one periscope sensor that will offer up to 10x optical zoom and a huge 100x digital zoom. Samsung will also be including a feature called Space Zoom, which may be aimed at taking on the Pixel 4’s Astrophotography mode. The sensors themselves will include a 108-megapixel main sensor, along with a 48-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera sensor.
The report even has details on the color schemes of the phones. According to the report, all three Galaxy S20 devices, including the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+, will be available in Cosmic Black, Cosmic Gray, and Cloud Blue. According to a tweet from Max Weinbach, a reporter for XDA Developers, the Galaxy S20 Ultra will be available in Stainless Steel.
Next up is pricing. The report notes that the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G will reportedly be available for 1,350 euros (nearly $1,500 U.S. Dollars), which is in line with previous reports that noted the device will be available for “more than 1,300 euros.”

Argentinian Government Bans Civil Society Organizations From Attending Upcoming WTO Ministerial Meeting
The World Trade Organization (WTO), the multilateral global trade body that has almost all countries as members, has been eyeing an expansion of its work on digital trade for some time. Its current inability to address such issues is becoming an existential problem for the organization, as its relevance is challenged by the rise of smaller regional trade agreements such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) that do contain digital trade rules.
That's one reason why some experts are now arguing that the WTO ought to retake leadership over digital trade rulemaking. Their reasoning is that a global compact could be more effective than a regional one at combatting digital protectionism, such as laws that restrict Internet data flows or require platforms to install local servers in each country where they offer service.
Civil Society Barred from WTO Summit
It's true that some countries do have protectionist rules that affect Internet freedom, and that global agreements could help address these rules. But the problem in casting your lot in with the WTO is that as closed and opaque as deals like the TPP, NAFTA, and RCEP are, the WTO is in most respects no better. That was underscored last week, when in a surprise move the Argentinian government blocked representatives from civil society organizations (CSOs) from attending the upcoming WTO biennial summit of 164 member states, which is scheduled between 10-13 December in Buenos Aires.
Last week the WTO reached out to more than than 64 representatives from CSOs,  including digital rights organizations Access Now and Derechos Digitales, to inform them that "for unspecified reasons, the Argentine security authorities have decided to deny your accreditation." The Argentine government later issued a press release claiming that activists had been banned as "they had made explicit calls to manifestations of violence through social networks"—a remarkable claim for which no evidence was presented, and which the groups in question have challanged. 
Most of the banned organizations belong to the Our World Is Not For Sale network (OWINFS), a global social-justice network which has been engaging in WTO activities, including organizing panels and sessions for over two decades. In a strongly-worded letter, Deborah James, OWINFS Network Coordinator has condemned Argentina's actions and noted that the lack of explanation behind the decision "attacked the conference's integrity" and violated "a key principle of international diplomacy".
Even before these delegates were barred from the meeting, their ability to participate in the WTO summit was tightly constrained. Unlike other international negotiation bodies such as WIPO, the WTO does not permit non-state actors to attend meetings even as observers, nor to obtain copies of documents under negotiation. Their admission into the meeting venue would only authorize them to meet with delegates in corridors and private side-meetings, and Argentina's action has taken away even that. Instead, public interest groups will essentially be limited to meeting and protesting outside the summit venue, out of sight and out of mind of the WTO delegates inside.
Multilateral v. Multistakeholder to Digital Trade
Thus the problem with the suggestion that the WTO should take on the negotiation of new Internet-related issues is that any such expansion of the WTO mandate would require a rehaul of its existing standards and procedures for negotiations. International trade negotiations are government-led, and allow for very limited public oversight or participation in the process. On the other hand, the gold standard for Internet-related policy development is for a global community of experts and practitioners to participate in an open, multistakeholder setting.
Transparent consultative practices are critical in developing rules on complex digital issues as prescriptions nominally about commerce and trade can affect citizens’ free speech and other fundamental individual rights. In this respect and others, digital issues are different from conventional trade issues such as quotas and tariffs, and it is important to involve users in discussion of such issues from the outset. Thorough documents such as our Brussels Declaration on Trade and the Internet, EFF has been calling upon governments to make trade policy making on Internet issues more transparent and accountable, whether it is conducted at a multilateral or a smaller plurilateral level.
The WTO's lack of any institutional mechanisms to gather inputs from the public and its inability to assure participation for CSOs is a big blow to the WTO's credibility as a leader on global digital trade policy. Argentina's unprecedented ban on CSOs is especially worrying, as e-commerce is expected to be a key topic of discussion at the summit.
E-commerce Agenda Up In The Air
Last week, WTO director general Roberto Azevedo announced that he will be appointing "minister facilitators" to work with sectoral chairs and identified e-commerce as an area for special focus. That doesn't mean that it's an entirely new issue for the WTO. E-commerce (now sometimes also called "digital trade") entered the WTO in 1998, when member countries agreed not to impose customs duties on electronic transmissions, and the moratorium has been extended periodically, though no new substantive issues have been taken on.
This is changing. Since last year, developed and developing countries have been locked in a battle over whether the WTO's digital trade work program should expand to include new digital trade issues such as cross-border data flows and localization, technology transfer, disclosure of source code of imported products, consumer protection, and platform safe harbors.
This push has come most strongly from developed countries including the United States, Japan Canada, Australia, and Norway. During an informal meeting at the WTO in October, the EU, Canada, Australia, Chile, Korea, Norway and Paraguay, among other countries, circulated a restricted draft ministerial decision to establish “a working party” at the upcoming WTO ministerial meeting in Buenos Aires and authorizing it to “conduct preparations for and carry out negotiations on trade-related aspects of electronic commerce on the basis of proposal by Members”.
Amongst these are a May 2017 proposal presented by the European Union in which the co-sponsors mapped out possible digital trade policy issues to be covered, including rules on spam, electronic contracts, and electronic signatures. The co-sponsors noted that the list they provided was not exhaustive, and they invited members to give their views on what additional elements should be added. 
But many developing nations have opposed the introduction of new issues, instead favoring the conclusion of pending issues from the Doha Round of WTO negotiations, which are on more traditional trade topics such as agriculture. In particular, India this week submitted a formal document at the WTO opposing any negotiations on e-commerce. Commerce and Industry minister Suresh Prabhu said, "We don't want any new issues to be brought in because there is a tendency of some countries to keep discussing new things instead of discussing what's already on the plate. We want to keep it focused." India has maintained that although e-commerce may be good for development, it may not be prudent to begin talks on proposals supported by developed countries. A sometimes unspoken concern is that these rules provide "unfair" market access to foreign companies, threatening developing countries' home-grown e-commerce platforms.
China has a somewhat different view, and has expressed openness to engage in discussions on new rules to liberalize cross-border e-commerce. Back in November 2016, China had also circulated a joint e-commerce paper with Pakistan, and has since called for informal talks to "ignite" discussions on new rules, with a focus on the promotion and facilitation of cross-border trade in goods sold online, taking into account the specific needs of developing countries.
A number of other developing nations have their own proposals for what the WTO's future digital trade agenda might include. In March 2017, Brazil  circulated a proposal seeking “shared understandings” among member states on transparency in the remuneration of copyright, balancing the interests of rights holders and users of protected works, and territoriality of copyright. In December 2016, another document prepared by Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay focused on the electronic signatures and authentication aspect of the work programme. And in February 2017, an informal paper co-sponsored by 14 developing countries identified issues such as online security, access to online payments, and infrastructure gaps in developing countries as important areas for discussion.
Expectations From the Ministerial Meeting
With so many different proposals in play, the progress on digital trade made at the Ministerial Conference is likely to be modest, reflecting the diverging interests of WTO Members on this topic. Reports suggest that India has built strong support amongst a large number of nations including some industrialized countries, for its core demands for reaffirming the principles of multilateralism, inclusiveness and development based on the Doha work programme. Given India's proactive stance opposing the expansion of the current work programme on e-commerce, this suggests an underwhelming outcome for proponents of the expansion of the WTO's digital trade agenda.
However India's draft ministerial decision on e-commerce also instructs the General Council of the WTO to hold periodic reviews in its sessions in July and December 2018 and July 2019, based on the reports that may be submitted by the four WTO bodies entrusted with the implementation of its e-commerce Work Programme, and to report to the next session of the Ministerial Conference. If enough members agree with India and relevant changes are made to suit all members, India's draft agreement could become an actual declaration.
In other words, even if, as seems likely, no new rules on digital trade issues come out of the 2017 WTO summit, that won't be the end of the WTO's ambitions in this field. It seems just as likely that whatever protests take place in the streets of Buenes Aires, from activists who were excluded from the venue, will be insufficient to dissuade delegates from this course. But what we believe is achievable is to make further progress towards changing the norms around public participation in trade policy development, with the objective of improving the conditions for civil society stakeholders not only at the WTO, but also in other trade bodies and negotiations going forward.
This is one of the topics that EFF will be focusing on at this month's Internet Governance Forum (IGF), where we will be hosting the inaugural meeting of a new IGF Dynamic Coalition on Trade and the Internet, and hopefully announcing a new multi-stakeholder resolution on the urgent need to improve transparency and public participation in trade negotiations. The closed and exclusive 2018 WTO summit is an embarrassment to the organization. If and when the WTO does finally expand its work program on digital trade issues, it is essential that public interest representatives be seated around the table—not locked outside the building.

A website audit was conducted, using Google Analytics to get insights of users who’ve visited Supportbench’s website and their behavior. These are some of the findings.
40% of the traffic onto the website was Direct. Supportbench’s CEO Eric hosts monthly business networking events and attends conferences, so word of mouth might have contributed to this.
A whopping 78% of users access the site on their desktop. And the times they are most active are weekdays between 6AM to 5PM. This is most likely because Supportbench is a Software service and the majority of users are probably looking for software solutions at work.
Speaking of which, one of the websites that brought in most referral traffic was Capterra. It is a service that helps businesses find the right software. Supportbench has two 5 star customer reviews on it and people who come to Supportbench.com click on an average of almost 3 pages and spend 3 minutes on the site. So Capterra is definitely something to utilize in the future by building relationships with clients.
Canada brought in the second most traffic, 60% of Canadian traffic came from British Columbia, generating 318 sessions. This means that there is a localized interest with further opportunities to expand in the Pacific Northwest region.
On the website, we found 2 separate blogs and it is suggested to combine them and host it on the website to make it less confusing.
The average bounce rate was 64%, higher than the industry benchmarks of 30-50%. This is probably due to the reason that the homepage contains extensive information about the software and doesn’t prompt them to click on other pages. So by categorizing and moving some content to relevant pages, so users spend a longer time on the website exploring the product. Also, the website menu is not as organized and is harder to navigate to find the right page. It is recommended to rearrange the hierarchies of the menu to make it more navigable.
Social Media
We also conducted an audit for all of Supportbench’s social media channels.
All of the content shared on these platforms are rich and original, with relevant text descriptions, images and hashtags. However amongst all these channels, there is no consistency in posting, so a tool like Hootsuite would help with scheduling posts to maintain an active presence online. Earlier in the website audit, we learned that most users access the site during work hours, so it is best to optimize the times between 9 and 5 to post.
Twitter has lots of followers but engagement rate is very low. As mentioned earlier, Eric participates in a lot of business events, so it would be a good idea to always be active in initiating conversations with other businesses and attendees before, during and after the events.
Facebook posts get a lot of likes, but there isn’t a lot of comments. We can get people to participate more by asking open-ended questions and starting discussions.
LinkedIn’s page doesn’t have a lot of followers but the visitors are highly relevant audiences, mainly from marketing and sales industries. It would be useful to join LinkedIn groups such as Saas Network Vancouver and engage in discussion forums to establish Supportbench’s expertise and presence.
An Instagram account has been set up but it’s inactive and it’s not recommended to have a dormant account, so simple behind the scenes, candid photos sharing links of blog posts will be a good way to start.
By answering questions or engaging in conversations regarding Customer Service Software, Supportbench can establish itself as a trustworthy, knowledgable brand in the field of customer service and software, which will lead to gaining more followers and creating brand awareness!
SEO
A Search Engine Optimization audit was conducted to evaluate how Supportbench’s website is ranking on the Search Engine Results Page..
For on-page SEO, title tags, meta description and H2 tags were missing.
Organic was 11 percent of the traffic source. The bounce rate was 45% well in the industry benchmark.
Now if we see here. Supportbench currently ranks for its brand name. However some of the other branded keywords we’re currently ranking for compete with unrelated things like furniture and clothing brands.
The more generic the keyword, like “customer service” the more difficult it would be to rank on SERP since large companies with higher domain authority are also competing for those keywords. Moz.com’s keyword difficulty score determined that these keywords were less competitive.
Because Supportbench is still so new and brand awareness is low, in order to be found through organic traffic, Eric should optimize for keywords that describe his product, and that are more relevant to what a Customer Service Software user’s queries would be.
It is recommended that Supportbench ranks for CUSTOMER SUPPORT SYSTEM and SAAS HELP DESK SOFTWARE.
DMMM
We created a Digital Marketing Measurement Model for Supportbench. The two objectives are to: One, Create Brand Awareness and Two, To Increase Lead Generations. Growing social media following and engagement are the main goals for achieving brand awareness. As For Lead Generation, the goal is to get more people to sign up for free 14 day trials and schedule consultations. The segments we will analyze are Location, Traffic Source, Interests Behaviour Flow and Goal Conversion Rate.
We have developed a target persona, campaign and a strong social and blogging strategy to attract the right visitors and turn them into Marketing Qualified Leads in order to achieve these objectives.
Social media strategy
For the campaign, we will use the hashtags #SITDOWNSCALEUP and #SUPPORTBENCH on Supportbench’s social channels: Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
They are two ways to post. The first way is simple, to share the original blog content which will lead them to the article, that prompts users to click through to the premium content page,
The other way is to directly link users to the landing pages to fill out a form to access the premium content.
So posts will most likely have a text description, call to action like download ebook now, access our free video series, hashtags and the URL to the blog or landing page.
