"Despite the Central Appalachia ecosystem being historically famous as coal country, under this diverse broadleaf canopy lies a rich, biodiverse world of native plants helping to fill North America’s medicinal herb cabinet.

And it turns out that the very communities once reliant on the coalfields are now bringing this botanical diversity to the country.

“Many different Appalachian people, stretching from pre-colonization to today, have tended, harvested, sold, and used a vast number of forest botanicals like American ginseng, ramps, black cohosh, and goldenseal,” said Shannon Bell, Virginia Tech professor in the Dept. of Sociology. “These plants have long been integral to many Appalachians’ livelihoods and traditions.”

50% of the medicinal herbs, roots, and barks in the North American herbal supply chain are native to the Appalachian Mountains, and the bulk of these species are harvested or grown in Central Appalachia, which includes southern West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, far-southwest Virginia, and east Tennessee.

The United Plant Savers, a nonprofit with a focus on native medicinal plants and their habitats, has identified many of the most popular forest medicinals as species of concern due to their declining populations.

Along with the herbal supply chain being largely native to Appalachia, the herb gatherers themselves are also native [to Appalachia, not Native American specifically], but because processing into medicine and seasonings takes place outside the region, the majority of the profits from the industry do too.

In a press release on Bell’s superb research and advocacy work within Appalachia’s botanical communities, she refers back to the moment that her interest in the industry and the region sprouted; when like many of us, she was out in a nearby woods waiting out the pandemic.

“My family and I spent a lot of time in the woods behind our house during quarantine,” Bell said. “We observed the emergence of all the spring ephemerals in the forest understory – hepatica, spring beauty, bloodroot, trillium, mayapple. I came to appreciate the importance of the region’s botanical biodiversity more than ever, and realized I wanted to incorporate this new part of my life into my research.”

With co-investigator, John Munsell at VA Tech’s College of Natural Resources and Environment, Bell’s project sought to identify ways that Central Appalachian communities could retain more of the profits from the herbal industry while simultaneously ensuring that populations of at-risk forest botanicals not only survive, but thrive and expand in the region.

Bell conducted participant observation and interviews with wild harvesters and is currently working on a mail survey with local herb buyers. She also piloted a ginseng seed distribution program, and helped a wild harvester write a grant proposal to start a forest farm.

“Economic development in post-coal communities often focuses on other types of energy development, like fracking and natural gas pipelines, or on building prisons and landfills. Central Appalachia is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. I think that placing a greater value on this biodiversity is key to promoting a more sustainable future for the region,” Bell told VA Tech press.

Armed with a planning grant of nearly half a million dollars, Bell and collaborators are specifically targeting forest farming as a way to achieve that sustainable future.

Finally, enlisting support from the nonprofit organization Appalachian Sustainable Development, Virginia Tech, the City of Norton, a sculpture artist team, and various forest botanicals practitioners in her rolodex, Bell organized the creation of a ‘living monument’ along Flag Rock Recreation Area in Norton, Virginia.

An interpretive trail, the monument tells the story of the historic uses that these wild botanicals had for the various societies that have inhabited Appalachia, and the contemporary value they still hold for people today."

PayPal phishing scam going around

So, you'll get an email from a ridiculous email address, looking something like this:

I hope all of you would immediately recognize this as a scam - weird, unofficial email address, person you've never heard of, etc., plus a meeting you don't know about and a purchase you don't know about.

This is all badly written and should instantly tip you off that this is a scam -- but I want to point out ways they work to make you believe it even if your first instinct is "This is wrong."

Your attention is immediately drawn to the the invoice image in the body of the email, which looks like this:

If you aren't looking too closely, it looks like a PayPal invoice, which goes a long way to convincing people that this is legitimate. But there are a pile of clues that this is a scam:

Right under your name and the "Transaction ID" number is the Customer Support phone number. That's not where a customer service phone number usually appears on an invoice. Generally you'll find that number in the footer or somewhere at the end of the invoice. If anything, it should be *your* phone number or email there, as part of the customer ID info.

They put the phone number up there so that you're immediately thinking "call customer support to get my money back." They want "Someone has my credit card information" or "someone made a big mistake" to be front of mind, so that your first thought of "scam" is overridden by "I need to get this money refunded."

Then the words "final reminder." This is another thing that should tip you off that this is a scam, since you will not have received previous reminders. But again, if you're thinking about several hundred dollars being charged to you that you probably can't afford, then you're not thinking "Wait, I haven't seen anything else about this" because you're thinking "I can't afford to lose this money." Or you may do what so many of us do, and think "How did I miss the other reminders?" -- immediately blaming either yourself or tech, giving the scammers an out.

And the word "final" means you better act now or else - more false urgency.

Below the "bill" it says that if this charge is wrong, you have 24 hours to rectify it. Again, omg omg omg call them RIGHT NOW. And hey look at that, there's that useful phone number again! Right after the word "refunds" -- just what they want you to be thinking about.

And then the phone number AGAIN in a big blue box. (Which, if they were better at their scamming job, would be a button you could tap to dial the phone number.)

That's a lot of appearances of the customer service number.

Now take a look at the small print.

"Thank you for using PayPal to purchase Norton 360 Security for 2 years."

Have you ever seen a PayPal invoice? That's just not what they say.

Immediately followed by another repetition of the fact that you need help and the support team is standing by to help you.

Then there's some stuff about "our secure platforms" and "we accept all major platforms."

That was written by someone who doesn't really know what words they need, possibly someone for whom English is not their first language. "Our secure platforms" is super-vague, but it's the "We Accept All Major Platforms" that's a giveaway - did they mean "We Accept All Major Credit Cards?" If they meant "platforms" to indicate alternate methods of payment (Venmo, CashApp, Zelle), they would have listed them, or at least extended the sentence to clarify.

This is very clearly a scam, but for fun, I called the phone number. This is another dead giveaway -- the person on the other end of that phone call.

When they picked up, they said "Hello--thank you for calling customer service."

That's not how any company's customer service would answer the phone - they would begin with "Thank you for calling $COMPANYNAME customer service."

The thing is, scam call centers are fielding calls for dozens, if not hundreds, of scams. The computer in front of the scam worker identifies the *phone number* you called to tell them *which scam* you have fallen for, so they answer generically while the computer brings up the appropriate script.

I said, "Who am I speaking to?"

He said "This is PayPal customer service."

Then I asked him this: "Can you tell me why I've called PayPal's customer service phone number?"

This is different enough from anything that anyone who has actually fallen for the scam would say that they don't have a script for responding to it. So they become annoyed and rude right off the bat, because they have ZERO customer service training and don't actually know how to talk to people on the phone if it doesn't fit their script. He raised his voice and said "You called us! You called us! How do I know why you are calling us!"

If you miss every other clue on your journey through an email that urges you to call customer service for anything (but usually money), think about how customer service representatives are trained to deal with customers. Think about all of the legitimate interactions you've had with customer service. They thank you for calling a specific company. They give you their first name, they ask how they can help you and/or ask for your name and why you are calling today. They identify themselves and ask you to identify yourself. They try to be helpful. Scammers are trained to follow scripts, and not much else. If you step even just a little bit outside of the lines, they are lost.

One last thing - it's an unfortunate reality that googling "$COMPANYNAME's customer service phone number" is no longer a reliable way to get customer service phone numbers, because so many scams are talked about on the internet that Google is returning scam phone numbers as legitimate ones. (This happened to me with Amazon - I got a scam email telling me I'd made a purchase on Amazon and to call the given number for customer service. I called, I knew it was a scam, and then I googled the phone number. It came up as "Amazon customer service." I was able to email an Amazon customer service manager a screenshot of my Google search of the scam number and Google saying it was an Amazon customer service number. So Amazon then had to deal with getting Google to fix that issue.) The point being, we have to rely on ourselves and our critical thinking skills for these scams, because the internet is now garbage.

Good luck everybody -- and when all else fails, ask the weird question.

How to Optimize Ecommerce Checkout for Higher Conversions

An ecommerce website is an essential tool for modern businesses looking to grow and remain competitive in the digital world. From global reach and cost savings to better marketing opportunities and customer insights, the benefits of ecommerce are undeniable. With consumers increasingly turning to online shopping for convenience, having a well-optimized ecommerce site can provide businesses with significant advantages over traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Whether you are a small startup or a large enterprise, investing in an ecommerce website can drive growth, boost revenue, and improve customer engagement.

This article explores the key benefits of having an ecommerce website and why every business should consider establishing an online presence.

1. Reduce Checkout Steps

Why it Matters

The longer and more complicated your checkout process, the higher the chances of cart abandonment. Customers want a fast and seamless purchasing experience.

How to Optimize

✅ Use a One-Page Checkout: Consolidate all necessary fields on a single page.

✅ Enable Guest Checkout: Allow users to purchase without creating an account.

✅ Minimize Form Fields: Only ask for essential details (name, email, shipping, and payment info).

✅ Use Auto-Fill & Address Lookup: Speed up the process with Google Address Autocomplete.

2. Offer Multiple Payment Options

Why it Matters

Limited payment methods can drive customers away, especially if their preferred option is unavailable.

How to Optimize

✅ Accept credit/debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options.

✅ Offer cryptocurrency payments if your audience is tech-savvy.

✅ Display security badges (SSL, PCI compliance) to build trust.

3. Improve Mobile Checkout Experience

Why it Matters

More than 50% of online purchases happen on mobile devices. A clunky mobile checkout can drive customers away.

How to Optimize

✅ Use a mobile-friendly design with large buttons and easy navigation. ✅ Implement one-tap payment options like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

✅ Allow users to scan card details instead of manually entering them.

4. Show Transparent Pricing

Why it Matters

Hidden fees, high shipping costs, or unexpected taxes are top reasons for cart abandonment.

How to Optimize

✅ Display the total price (including taxes and shipping) upfront.

✅ Offer free shipping or clearly communicate costs before checkout.

✅ Provide currency conversion for international shoppers.

5. Optimize Load Speed & Performance

Why it Matters

A slow checkout page leads to frustration and abandonment.

How to Optimize

✅ Compress images and use lazy loading to improve speed.

✅ Implement a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for faster load times.

✅ Reduce redirects and minimize heavy scripts.

6. Use Progress Indicators

Why it Matters

How to Optimize

✅ Use a step-by-step progress bar (e.g., Shipping → Payment → Confirmation).

✅ Keep each step short and focused.

✅ Allow users to go back without losing entered data.

7. Build Trust with Security Badges & Social Proof

Why it Matters

Customers need assurance that their payment and personal details are safe.

How to Optimize

✅ Display security certifications (SSL, McAfee, Norton Secured, etc.)

✅ Highlight money-back guarantees and refund policies.

✅ Show customer reviews to build credibility.

8. Enable Cart Saving & Exit Intent Pop-Ups

Why it Matters

Many shoppers abandon carts but return later to complete the purchase.

How to Optimize

✅ Allow users to save their cart without creating an account.

✅ Use exit-intent pop-ups to offer discounts or remind them of their cart. ✅ Send cart abandonment emails with a limited-time discount.

9. Provide Live Chat & Customer Support

Why it Matters

If customers have last-minute doubts, they need instant support.

How to Optimize

✅ Integrate a live chat feature for real-time assistance.

✅ Offer FAQ sections to answer common checkout-related queries.

✅ Provide a contact number or chatbot for instant help.

10. A/B Test and Continuously Optimize Checkout

Why it Matters

Even small tweaks can lead to a significant increase in conversion rates.

How to Optimize

✅ A/B test different layouts, button colors, and CTA wording.

✅ Analyze heatmaps and user behavior to identify pain points.

✅ Track checkout abandonment rates using analytics tools like Google Analytics or Hotjar.

Conclusion

Optimizing your ecommerce checkout process can drastically improve conversion rates and revenue. By implementing strategies like reducing checkout steps, offering multiple payment options, improving mobile usability, and building trust, you can create a seamless experience for your customers.

By continuously testing and improving your checkout experience, you can turn more visitors into paying customers and maximize your ecommerce success.

Phishing prevention tips - How Can You Protect Yourself From Phishing?

Phishing is one of the greatest security problems that you face today while using your email account. In fact, it is a much more serious threat than the commonly heard about problems like spyware and viruses. If you are tangled in the network of fake links sent by phishers, you can have severe financial losses. So, before anything of that sort happens, be on your guard and learn how to prevent phishing.

Cold Calls

Tech support cold calls are when an individual calls the target, claiming to be from a reputable company and states that they have found malware on the computer. The criminal will then try to get the user to install a type of remote desktop software under the pretext of removing the infestation, which would allow the attacker access to the computer in order to install real malware. In addition to attempting to install malware on the machine, these scammers will often ask for a fee to fix the issue.

Pop-Up Warnings

Tech support pop-up warnings occur when a user is browsing the Internet. Usually, the target is viewing a website that contains links to related content, and when the user clicks on one of those links it will redirect them to a website hosting the pop-ups. These pop-ups can be terribly intrusive, making it difficult for the user to close the window. The pop-ups will then display a message stating that the computer is infected with malware and offer a phone number for help with removing the malware. Often, these pop-ups will look like they come from a legitimate source, such as our own Norton products...visit - Norton to know more.

Use Context Clues

The best way to spot a phishing scheme is to listen to your gut. Remember, even if an email looks like it comes from a friend, that doesn't mean it's safe. If you weren’t expecting an email from someone, or if you were but the email seems rushed, or their tone is off, or they’re sending you a Facebook message when they usually text you ... If anything seems even a little bit off, check with the purported sender on another platform to confirm that they actually reached out.

If a message comes from a person or entity you don’t already know, consider the context of why you might be receiving it and whether the message really makes sense. Most online services won’t, for instance, appear out of the blue, asking you to make account changes through an email link. And even if they do, you should always navigate to the site separately, log in, and check to see what’s actually going on. Treat attachments with even more suspicion and avoid opening them altogether, particularly if you didn’t ask for them or didn’t have a pre-arranged plan to receive them.

Remember the Basics

Following standard digital defense advice will help with phishing as well. Keep a backup of your data. Enable multi factor authentication on every account that offers it. Close accounts you don’t use anymore. And set up a password manager to keep track of unique, robust passwords. All of these steps make you a tougher target, but more importantly, they'll help contain damage if you ever do get phished...for more information, go to - wired.

Watch out for shortened links

You should pay particularly close attention to shortened links, especially on social media. Cybercriminals often use these – from Bitly and other shortening services – to trick you into thinking you are clicking a legitimate link, when in fact you’re being inadvertently directed to a fake site.

You should always place your mouse over a web link in an email to see if you’re actually being sent to the right website – that is, “the one that appears in the email text” is the same as “the one you see when you mouse-over”. Cybercriminals may use these ‘fake’ sites to steal your entered personal details or to carry out a drive-by-download attack, thus infesting your device with malware...to know more, visit - welivesecurity.

Watch for impersonal introductions

Your bank, PayPal, Amazon etc know your name. A phisher sending out masses of emails doesn't. That's why real emails from these companies often address you by name. "Dear Customer" or variations on it may sound polite, but it's a definite warning sign, especially if the email is trying to get personal details from you.

Don't fill in embedded forms

If an email comes with an embedded form for you to fill in personal details, financial data and/or login details, don't do it. Trustworthy companies will never ask you to do this in an email...this and moreover at - The Guardian.

One of the best ways to protect your inbox from phishing emails is to get help from phishing protection services. This along with phishing protection training will help a person be safe against the threats of phishing.

Shams: Online Computer Repair and Remote Virus Removal

I have been doing far off PC fix for individuals across the United States and around the planet for almost 10 years, giving PC help to individuals with malware expulsion, infection evacuation, pop ups, or a sluggish PC. Online PC fix or online infection expulsion is certainly a life hack and a cash saver. Distant infection expulsion can absolutely save an individual many dollars over the expense of taking the PC to a nearby PC mechanics shop Whatcom County pc repair Whatcom County pc repair .

In spite of the fact that utilizing a distant online PC professional is unquestionably the best approach for PC help, by the by there are a few entanglements. I continually hear harrowing tales from clients that had recently utilized an online PC fix administration for their PC issues with not exactly attractive outcomes. Subsequently I have assembled this rundown of PC tricks to keep an eye out for when contracting with somebody to give distant PC help.

1. USA Based - Really? A great many people would prefer not to converse with somebody in India in a unique way so hefty that you can't get them. That is the reason numerous sites will say, "USA Based." But would they say they are truly? I have tracked down that numerous sites publicize they are in the U.S. be that as it may, the individual on the telephone, who claims they are in the U.S. still seems like somebody from India. It isn't insightful to manage somebody who has recently misled you. Clue: Read the content of a site cautiously. You will likely discover a couple of linguistic blunders on destinations that they are not actually U.S. based, and obviously, you will know immediately when they pick up the telephone. Simply say, "Heartbroken, wrong number."

2. Overly Low Price: There are organizations out there guaranteeing they can eliminate infections, in addition to fix all issues, and do a PC adjust, just for the low cost of $39.99. As somebody who has been doing PC administration full an ideal opportunity for a very long time, I can reveal to you that it requires a few hours for a PC tech to do all that and do it right. How might they do this for a particularly cut-rate cost? There are three different ways: 1. Recruit a lot of youthful nerds that are as yet learning and let them practice on your PC. 2. Be situated in India or the Philippines or some unfamiliar country where work is modest. 3. Do the exceptionally least to simply get by without worry for honest quality work. A few spots do every one of the three. The familiar proverb - "You get what you pay for." Applicable to online PC fix. In the event that you need great quality far off PC fix you need to pay for it. Attempt to save a buck and you can wind up with an obliterated PC as well as numerous long stretches of dissatisfaction as you bring back again and again to attempt to get the online PC help you were guaranteed. Solid counsel: If you need a decent PC tech, don't pick the least expensive bidder.

3. Guaranteed - Really? Does the site disclose to you who will be fixing your PC? Are the name, qualifications and experience of the PC specialist posted on the site? I have called a portion of these as far as anyone knows Microsoft guaranteed sites and when I asked precisely which certification was held with Microsoft and the PC administration organization couldn't offer me a response.

4. Free Antivirus Software: The online PC administration organization offers a free antivirus programming after the maintenance. Know that they are just giving you something you can get with the expectation of complimentary yourself. Once more, you get what you pay for. Free antivirus programming may be superior to nothing, yet just barely. I eliminate malware consistently from PCs that are ensured by free antivirus items and they are extremely contaminated. Just the antivirus items that you buy are satisfactory. At the point when a far off PC fix organization gives free sub-par items to clients it gives them an incorrect conviction that all is well with the world that will prompt their PC at last getting hit by an infection. A PC professional that is truly paying special mind to your general benefits will offer to sell you a quality item that works.

5. Free Scan Scam: Here's the way it works. You call a far off PC fix administration in light of the fact that your printer doesn't work. The online PC administration says they will interface with your machine and mention to you what's up free of charge, no commitment. At that point you can choose what to do straightaway. Free finding! Sounds great, correct? Heaps of individuals succumb to this. So the PC specialist associates with your machine and runs a program (that they have made) that claims to do a sweep of your PC. In only 3 minutes this product reports many library blunders, many issues in the occasion log, many infections, trojans and spyware. They disclose to you that you must sort this out immediately before the entirety of your documents vanish and your PC will not work by any means. After the alarm strategies, they give you an unbelievable cost of $300.00. Subsequent to paying that and they evidently fix every one of these blunders, odds are your printer actually won't work. However, the genuine actuality is - there isn't a piece of programming on the planet that can mention to you what's up with a PC shortly. I have more than twenty years of involvement and I can reveal to you that it a few hours of cautious work to appropriately assess a PC. I have helped numerous clients who revealed to me they had quite recently encountered this trick. Luckily they called me and by and large their PC was not in close to as terrible a shape as they had been persuaded.

6. One Year Service Contract Scam: Pay $300 each year and call for distant PC fix as frequently as you need. On the off chance that it sounds unrealistic, it likely is. I've conversed with bunches of individuals that have been singed by this. There is just a single way an online PC fix organization can offer that and stay in business, and that is to not satisfy their guarantee. The help contract is long and in fine print and isn't perused by most clients. I have understood them. The fine print says that in the event that you trouble them an excess of they can just cut you free, give no further PC help, and not give you any discount. Their advantage will be in getting new clients to pay the $300, not in giving PC help to you again and again. You additionally need to contemplate whether such a PC administration organization will even still be ready to go a half year as it were.

7. Cold pitch Scam: "Microsoft called me and said my PC is tainted." I have heard this on many occasions from individuals that call me for exhortation. I reveal to them first thing: "I'll be glad to do an infection check and perform malware expulsion on your PC for $59.99, yet know this first, what you were told isn't accurate and it was not Microsoft that called you. Microsoft doesn't call anybody and they would have no chance to get of knowing whether your PC is contaminated." This trick is normal. In the event that you get this call don't be frightened and don't be suckered into paying them to "fix" it.

8. The Big Company Scam: Many of my clients have disclosed to me that they went to an organization site for their PC issues and got a number and afterward called and conversed with HP, or Dell, or the rundown goes on: Microsoft, IBM, Norton, Toshiba, and so on and this organization revealed to them they had huge numbers of issues, they required malware expulsion and different fixes to deal with pop ups, a lethargic PC, or different issues and they could fix this at a specific cost. What these individuals didn't understand is that they were not really talking with the genuine organization they thought they were. Numerous online PC administration organizations deceitfully publicize that they are Dell, or Microsoft or whoever. They set up sites and Google advertisements intended to fool you into deduction they are support for HP or whoever. When they make them think they are the organization that made your PC, or your product or your printer, at that point they have a superior possibility at selling you their next trick. Whenever you go to a site take a gander at the URL and see where you are. On the off chance that it says for instance, FixMyHP.com or something to that effect and not, HP.com, at that point you are potentially on a trick site.
