Georgians are in the streets fighting for their democracy. The Georgian Dream party, which is working to align Tbilisi with Moscow’s interests, declared victory in the country’s Oct. 26 election before the votes were even counted. Voters and election observers were harassed by Russian-funded gangs and mobsters; just after the election, protesters holding European Union flags were sprayed with water from high-powered hoses. And the person who has the iron will necessary to lead the charge against Russian-inspired authoritarianism in Georgia? A woman: President Salome Zourabichvili.
This is no accident. Across the world, women have, and are, playing incredible roles as bulwarks against the rise of authoritarianism. Moldovan President Maia Sandu is standing up to a tsunami of Russian disinformation. In Poland, women played a critical role in the effort to oust the right-wing populist Law and Justice (PiS) party. In Hong Kong, women continue to be the practical and normative face of resistance to Chinese authoritarian rule.
These are the freedom fighters of the 21st century. And yet, the U.S. national security community tends to view women’s issues as a domestic concern, frivolous, or irrelevant to “hard” security matters. For example, in 2003, discussions of securing Iraq excluded women, with a top U.S. general stating, “When we get the place secure, then we’ll be able to talk about women’s issues.” More recently, the role of women in the military has been reduced to discussions of diversity, equity, and inclusion, rather than a focus on how women have been vital to solving the United States’ most wicked national security problems—from serving on the front lines in combat to providing essential intelligence analysis. But if the overall aim of U.S. national strategy is to shore up democracy and democratic freedoms, the treatment of women and girls cannot be ignored.
Globally, women’s rights are often eroding in both policy and practice, from the struggles of the Iranian and Afghan women who exist under gender apartheid to the Kenyan women experiencing the harsh backlash of the rise of the manosphere. In tandem, there’s been a sharp rise in reports of online harassment and misogyny worldwide.
National security analysts explore issues and psychologies through any number of prisms, but Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) remains an underutilized one. One of the national security community’s core tasks is discerning signals from noise in the global strategic environment, and regressive ideas on gender and gender equality can be a useful proxy metric for democratic backsliding and authoritarian rise.
The United States’ 2023 Strategy and National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security provides the backbone for the United States to leverage WPS to counter authoritarianism. It highlights that displays of misogyny online are linked to violent action. The plan also points out that formally incorporating gendered perspectives is essential for maintaining democratic institutions at home and modeling them aboard. This includes recognizing misogyny—online or in policy—as an early indicator of authoritarian rise.
Unfortunately, WPS is often misread as simply including more women in the national security workforce. But it is more than that. It offers a framework for understanding why it is useful to take gendered perspectives into account when assessing how the actions of individuals or groups enhance national security, which is especially important at a time when authoritarian regimes are weaponizing gender in ways that strengthen their grip on power domestically and justify their aggression abroad.
In Russia, President Vladimir Putin has argued that he is the guardian of traditional Christian values, telling women that they should be back at home raising children, and has been rolling back domestic violence laws at the same time. Days before invading Ukraine in February 2022, Putin said, “Like it or don’t like it, it’s your duty, my beauty,” which was widely interpreted within Russia as a reference to martial rape. Russia’s own army is built on a foundation of hierarchical hazing in which “inferior” men are degraded by their comrades. With that kind of rhetoric from the top, is it any wonder that Russian soldiers’ war crimes have included the rapes of women and children?
But Putin isn’t alone. In Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orban has consolidated media outlets to censor women’s voices, in the name of protecting traditional values. He has also used coercive financial practices to push women out of the workforce and positions of political power and into more traditional roles of wife and mother. In Belarus, President Alexander Lukashenko attempted to force the deportation of the most prominent woman opposition leader and imprisoned her after she tore up her passport to prevent it. In China, where women were once told they “hold up half the sky,” President Xi Jinping has worked to undo decades of Chinese Communist Party policy on gender equality. Chinese women are now being encouraged to return home and become mothers, while feminists have been targeted legally and socially.
The WPS agenda provides the U.S. national security community with three opportunities to recognize, understand, and counter early-stage authoritarianism.
First, the United States can do a much better job of supporting women’s groups around the world as a central aspect of its national security strategy. Women’s groups are often a bellwether for authoritarian rise and democratic backsliding—as currently on display in Russia, China, Hungary, Georgia, and Belarus, where women inside and outside their respective regimes have been specifically targeted or attacked.
Women have also found innovative ways to resist the rise of authoritarian norms. In places like Moldova, women have acted as bulwarks against authoritarianism despite vicious disinformation campaigns targeting women leaders. Yet when it comes to formulating and executing strategies on national security, women’s groups are often left in the margins and their concerns dismissed.
Second, gender perspectives are essential to more fulsome intelligence gathering and analysis. The U.S. intelligence community can do a much better job of integrating gender—particularly as it relates to the treatment of the most vulnerable—as an indicator of societal and democratic health. This includes understanding how both masculinities and femininities influence decision-making and how, in turn, lived experiences act as necessary analytical tools. Training collectors and analysts of intelligence to recognize gendered indicators will provide a more robust view of the geopolitical landscape and fill critical holes in national security decision-making.
Finally, the United States must improve the participation of its national security community in WPS and feminist foreign-policy discussions. For too long, the “hard” security sector has distanced itself from more “human” security-focused endeavors and treated women’s rights as something that’s just nice to have.
Yet national security is an essentially human endeavor, and gender is a central component of what it means to be human. This is something that needs to be appreciated to better understand the many dimensions of the conflict—disinformation, online influence campaigns, and lawfare—that authoritarian regimes are waging against the United States and its allies.

Wobbles request after wobbles got an extra wobbles they started getting bullied again
Drift velocity brainstorm cygate and rung separately react to wobbles getting stomped on by a group of bullies
Sorry for the long wait!
Finally got it in!
Hope you enjoy!
Brainstorm, Drift, Cygate, Rung and Velocity react to Wobbles getting bullied
SFW, Platonic, Mention of injuries', Mentions of bullies, Cybertronian reader
MTMTE
Wobbles didn’t expect some old bullies to try their luck after the heavy punishments Magnus handed out.
Especially the off-handed ones some of their friends had done on their behalf.
Maybe too many punches lead to their logic circuits to suffer in the long run.
Wobbles was proud of how long they stood their ground with their new wobbles against so many stronger bots.
But too bad it ended up being in vain.
Now they were on the floor, desperately trying to crawl away, as multiple bots held them down and kicked them all over.
The largest pair of servo were clamped securely over Wobbles mouth, muffling out the yells for help.
Too bad for the bullies, they would soon get what was coming to them.
Team that goes for the bullies first
These bots hear the suspicious sounds of muffled screaming and go to investigate. The only thing they see is some poor bot getting jumped. The bots weapons are out and immediately go on the attack. As soon as the bullies are gone, it is when the bot decides to finally take a look at who was at the receiving end of the attack. Sparks are sinking when they realize that it was Wobbles and call for a medic. These bots stay on guard, making sure the bullies don’t come back for another round. These bots also know who they need to contact when Wobbles, in their concussed state, mentions that the bullies came back because of their more pronounced wobble and how ‘they deserved it’. The Wobbles protection squad is going to be hearing from this!
Drift
Cyclonus
Team that scares the bullies off
These bots turn the corner and see a bunch of bots beating someone on the ground. They know they can’t exactly take all of them down by themselves, so they get creative. Whether by randomly firing into the air by the bots or running at them screaming murder, it works, and the bullies leave. Getting Wobbles to properly sit up is their next challenge as they call a medic to come over. These bots try their best to clean up any wounds they know they can handle caring for. They all take mental notes of Wobbles explaining the bullies poor thought process. The bots are the second longest in staying by Wobbles side during their time in the med bay.
Tailgate
Brainstorm
Team that focuses on Wobbles first
By the time these bots show up, the bullies would have already wrapped up their torment and getting in the last few kicks before dispersing. These bots hear the pained groans and spot Wobbles trying to crawl somewhere. The bots are already rushing to Wobbles side and calling for help. They make sure that Wobbles is awake and try their best to help them. Whether it’s through actually caring for the wounds or offering comfort in their own way, Wobbles does feel better. Good enough to mention who beat them up and why. This confession is going straight to Magnus as soon as Wobbles is safe in the medbay.

The Earasaid
by autumn sierra

The earasaid (also spelled erasaid, and arisaid) is a women’s plaid worn primarily between the 16th and 19th centuries. This garment was worn not only in the Highlands of Scotland, but also in surrounding areas, so to call it a tartan—or a plaid signifying a clan name—would not be accurate in all cases. In the beginning of the 1500s we can see early mentions of the earasaid’s adoption along with the (much more popular) fèileadh mòr, or belted Great Kilt, which was worn by men in the outdoors for working and travel. Gaidhlig poetry—such as John MacLean’s “De dh’ earasaid fharsaing” (1651) and John MacDonald’s poem of the Jacobite Rising (1715)—first began mentioning the women’s plaid in literature, but didn’t provide many details on the structure until the early 19th century. Since then, instructions and even diagrams have been recorded on paper on how to wear and care for the earasaid. Although its popularity has dwindled with the implementation of modern western wear, the earasaid remains a staple of women’s history in the Scottish Highlands and its surrounding areas.
Like with the Great Kilt, there are many ways to style/wear an earasaid. The simplest of these is to drape the earasaid over the shoulders and hold the wide end of the fabric about an arms length from the corners. Next, the fabric is gathered in the palms 3 to 4 times to create draped pleats before a belt is secured around the waist to hold the fabric in place. This can be worn as an overskirt, tucked overskirt, cape, or large hood. Another way to wear the earasaid is similarly to the Great Kilt. First, the fabric is laid flat on the ground with the wearer knelt at the narrower end. Leaving 6-12 inches of flat fabric, the wearer begins pleating 6 inches of fabric toward herself until there is an even amount of flat fabric left at the other narrow end. A belt is then slid gently beneath the pleated fabric. The wearer lies on top of the center of the pleats (and in the center of the belt below the fabric) so that the lines are parallel with her spine, and the lower edge lays around the knee area. The left and right sides of the fabric are wrapped around the waist and the belt is secured to hold the fabric in place. This can be worn as an overskirt, tucked over skirt, cape, hood, and pinned at the shoulder with a brooch called the penannular brooch—a metal circle with a small slit cut in to allow the passage of a long sliding pin.

Today, the earasaid isn’t as well known as its male counterpart, but there are a few organizations and individuals that display this garment’s unique beauty for those curious enough to come looking for it. These include (but aren’t limited to) USA Kilts, Kilts-n-Stuff, Fandabi Dozi’s Earasaid docuvideo, and various shops on Etsy.

[WP] You're an assassin, but you keep failing in almost comical ways. All the while your target doesn't even realize someone's trying to kill them.
His name was Tobia Mietitore. But his colleagues just called him 74. He always thought about having it engraved on small cards for his customers, but it felt unprofessional. Assassins generally didn't leave calling cards behind. At the moment 74 was hanging dozens of feet in the air, anchored on a gargoyle* above Sator Square. It was night time, one of those gloomy nights when the poisonous fog from the river Ahnk hang in the streets and every reasonable person stayed indoors. He was waiting for someone. A specific someone to be precise. Lord Benjamin Venturi, head of one of the noble families of Ahnk-Morpork. Currently he was in a meeting in the Patrician's palace on thr other side of the square. He would be coming out soon.
"This time it has to work!", the Assassin mumbled silently. The plan was foolproof. The coach driver was bribed to head on a way leading through directly under Mietitore's position. He would then drop the small box filled with a highly unstable alchemistic concoction on the carriage, which would blow it apart or at least take the roof off and disorient the guards, so Mietitore could rapple down himself and finish the job with his small crossbow. He hoped it wouldn't have to come to that. Surely, Venturi would have strengthened his security after the last dozen failed attempts, involving among others a trained Octarine Gadfly**, and a drop of arsenic in his morning coffee***.
He could see movement in front of the palace now. Trough the fog, the passengers were barley visible. A couple of guards and two figures, Lord Venturi and his secretary, were getting in the coach. With a snap of the reins it began it's journey across the square. 74 felt for the small box in his coat pocket and made sure his crossbow was cocked and loaded. Finally he could show those pretentious suckers at the guild, above all Lord Downey himself, how to carry out a real assassination. No one would laugh about him then, as they had done when he had graduated "Assassination 101" last among his class.
The carriage was now nearly in position. Only a few feet more and ... "And what 'ave we here?", a voice came from above him. "A little night time climbing practice, eh?" Mietitore looked up and saw two faces under the non-glint of the helmets of the city guard. He recognised them. Corporal Nobby Nobbs and Sergeant Fred Colon. Two of Commander Vimes' "finest".**** "He seems in quite a predicament, don't ya think so, Fred?", said Nobbs cheerily. "Why don't we help him out?" He produced a dagger and, to 74's horror, cut the rope at the gargoyle.
It is a common misconception that people falling from great heights don't scream while doing so and die not through sudden contact with the ground, but the fall itself. In Mietitore's case he did scream quite loud and, unluckly, was still alive when he broke through the roof of the carrriage. He could hear the voice of the small corproral above him. "Why didn't you hold him up, Fred? Now we'll have to scrape him off the plaster." The footsteps and ensuing banter vanished as the two guards looked for the way down. But Mietitore didn't pay any notice to this. His full attentiom was occupied by the man he had mistaken for Benjamin Venturi. He could feel his bodily functions give way under the steel gaze he was subjected to. For a moment he whished the concotion in his pocket had exploded on impact. Then he immediatey retractred that thought at the man's expression. "And who exactly are you?", said Lord Havelock Vetinari, tyrant and Patrician of Ahnk-Morpork, slowly.
*One of the unanimated sort.
**One of the most deadly insects of the Disc and highly sought after by various assassins, politicans, and collectors. Although the effect of this statement becomes negated by the unstable nature of the Gadfly. It has a tendency to vanish in a puff of Octarine, especially in critical moments involving million-to-one chances of success.
***Which had turned out not to be the morning coffee of Lord Venturi, but his elderly sick uncle, who incidentally left him quite a large sum of money.
****Nobby Nobbs was the first and only person to have to carry a card on him to prove that he was indeed human and Fred Colon, when not on desk duty, generally "guarded" bridges or large buildings against theft. His reasoning being that until someone attempts to steal the geographic feature in question, he can lean against it and stay out of danger (as well as the wind).

CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS
Throughout the history, societies, ideologies, and governance have been shaped by the fundamental propaganda that shapes public opinion or independence of movements that alter national identities of many Pilipino people are examples of ideas that have left a lasting impact on this civilizations. This essay does just that by explaining what all of that means, why it matters, and what it implies for the actual world, providing us with a better understanding of how those concepts impact political and social notions for better understanding. These are not merely academic concepts; they have a real impact on culture, revolution, and politics.
The Power of Ideas in Society
Propaganda — the intentional dissemination of information, often to advance a particular agenda — has been one of the most powerful tools in history. Authors and entertainers use it to manipulate their narratives, for good or ill. One of the historical highlights of propaganda was during world war II, when Nazi Germany used propaganda as a tool to impose nationalist and anti-Semitic ideologies to a wide public, influencing the way the whole population viewed the world.
“Its heart is a code of conduct or guiding principles, which could be compared to the Kartilya of the Katipunan, which was authored by Emilio Jacinto. These types of documents establish moral foundations and band people together around a common cause. Often, they were at the center of revolutions or movements seeking radical change, referred to as Himagsikan in Filipino history. One other way how the ideology engendered significant tangible changes(P2) is by ideating the Philippine Revolution of 1896, which departed indeed due to these ideologies which has political revolutions.
We know these things, because historians (otherwise known as historyadors) have recorded, dissected and explicated the past. Geographic and historian Teodoro Agoncillo providing vital insights into the Philippine Revolution, we would find it hard to appreciate the significance of our past; in fact, without much historians, we would lose the value of our history. Their work has resonance beyond academia in terms of national identity and conscience.
Conflict, Fragility, Freedom and Human Rights
Throughout in our history Troops — organized military forces — have been involved in war and peacetime since ancient history. Be it the protection of a nation’s sovereignty or the guarantee of international security, armed forces are a vital component of world politics. But war is rarely waged for that reason: It’s fought for a greater aim, independence. Many countries, such as the Philippines, which became independent from the United States in 1946 after years of colonialism, have histories noted by the pursuit of freedom from external control.
Sadly, sexual enslavement is one of the most egregious crimes that are often associated with conflict. “In times of conflict, this abhorrent practice—whereby coercion or the use of force is used to impose sexual exploitation on individuals—has sadly existed. One infamous example is the use of comfort women by the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. This contentious epoch of world history serves to chronicle the need for relentless activism and litigation to safeguard human rights.
Equally distressing is the way marginalized groups—those that are denied inclusion in the political, social, or economic systems—are treated. Society has a tendency to disenfranchise the poor, minority racial groups, and in particular, indigenous peoples. In order for real progress to be made, systemic inequalities must be destroyed in order for all people to be treated equally under the law.
The idea of dignity of this society, the basic respect and self-worth that each and every person is entitled to have, lies at the heart of this conflict that where it was started many years ago. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which declares that everyone has the right to have dignity as a fundamental human right of every person, societies that respect and preserve dignity promote justice and fairness.
The Development of Social Structures
Society as a whole nation,country etc. must operate in a way that benefits its members, regardless of individual rights. Humanitarian actions are relevant in this situation. Humanitarian groups like the Red Cross, Unicef and Doctors Without Borders strive to enhance human welfare through medical assistance, disaster relief, and social justice campaigns. They have an essential role in reducing suffering, particularly during emergencies. Extending the help for the unfortunates of some calamities or war.
In the meantime, society is still shaped by different economic and social classes in our country. The peasants or the farmers, who have traditionally been the foundation of agricultural economy as small-scale farmers and laborer's, are one such group. They have frequently been subjected to political neglect and commercial exploitation in spite of their significance. The farmers rights and land reform were the goals of movements of the Sakdalista rebellion in the Philippines, Sakdalista means "to accuse". Many farmers were helped by the implementation of land reform.Thanks to the bravery of our ancestors.
The educated elite people known as the Illustrados way back in our history, who pushed for reforms and freedom under Spanish control governance, was another significant social class in Philippine history. These intellectual man, including national heroes like José Rizal and Marcelo H. del Pilar, played a vital role in advocating for independence and shaping national identity of our beloved country. Their enlightenment paved the way for resistance movements that would eventually lead to freedom.They encourage lots of pilipino people to fight for our independence towards to the conquerors.
The Power, Colonialism, and Shifting Perspectives
Neocolonialism, a system that is powerful to all nations continue to use the economic and political tools to use influence over weaker governments or country, They use this in many former colonies even after they have gained formal independence.No. example of that is the Philippines, The economic reliance on former colonial powers, unjust trade deals, and foreign interference in domestic affairs are examples of this indirect control of these 1st world countries. For example, economic systems in African countries continue to favour Western nations over their own people. Philippines is also one of the country that still experience this is kind of system until now a days.
For deeper understanding of the idea of a paradigm—a framework or model that establishes how individuals perceive the world— it is very essential to comprehending these changes in influence and power. Societies have experienced paradigm shifts, or fundamental alterations in thinking, throughout history.They see these events as an opportunity however other see these as an issue. One significant scientific changes was the shift from geocentrism, which maintained that the Earth was the centre of the universe, to heliocentrism, which acknowledged that the Sun was. When new ideologies replace out dated systems in politics and society, such as democracy replacing absolute monarchy, paradigm changes take place.
In conclusion
These political and social ideas describe how the societies work,on how to people interact, and how to every countries change; they are not only scholarly phrases that you can see in a book. While recognising the challenges of marginalized people promotes inclusivity, and understanding propaganda aids in identifying media manipulation now a days. The History is like both a guide and also a warning for us, as the struggle for freedom and dignity rages on in many forms now a days. In order to guarantee that these change results in justice, equality, and genuine human growth, we must continue to be aware of these ideas and their long-term effects as societies advance and be more vigilant. Let us always remember that our ancestors fight for our freedom .

SCP AMTF Nu-7 Cosplay - Low Visibility Environment
Depicted here is the standard night fighting equipment for the conventional Nu-7 light fighter. Low visibility conditions take up roughly half of all time on Earth, and as such the modern soldier must be equipped to function in such an environment. This is also the case for the SCP Foundation's Armed Mobile Task Forces. It is especially important for AMTF units as many Foundation site's are almost entirely underground and have the potential to lose power and artificial light. All AMTF units who are tasked with responding to site containment breaches must be trained in performing all of their duties under night vision devices. Headborne night vision and occasionally thermal devices are typically mounted on a ballistic or bump helmet, in this case the Ops-Core SF ballistic helmet, via an NVG shroud fixed to the front of the helmet. The night vision equipment can be mounted to the shroud off a dovetail mount by the use of a bridge for dual tube NVGs, or a J-Arm for single tube NVGs. The operative depicted here has an Elbit Gen 3 WP PVS-14 mounted on a Noisefighters MAX14 J-Arm which mounts to the Norotos Lo-Sto Push Button Mount. Such a setup is extremely lightweight and provides an exceptional range of articulation for stowing the unit on the helmet. This operative also has a FLIR Breach Thermal monocular, used as a handheld heat signature scanner. Using both night vision tubes and thermal devices in tandem provides the user with an extremely powerful toolset when working at night or in low light conditions.
If the AMTF unit is responding to a potential threat to Foundation security that is known to have peer or near peer technology, then responding elements must assume their targets have night vision and thermal devices as well. To this end one of the more simple methods to counter handheld thermal devices is to wear a large poncho. This masks most of the operative's body heat underneath the poncho and blends the wearer to the surrounding environmental temperature. Fighting against thermal is extremely difficult and this method is not perfect, however even a simple poncho decreases the overall heat signature of the wearer to a large degree. Countering enemy night vision devices is much easier and a large part of succeeding in this is to reduce both white light and IR light output downrange. This means the operative's must passive aim without the assistance of an IR laser mounted on the weapon. The real estate is instead taken by a white light and IR light capable flashlight which can assist in passive aiming in low light environments.
Fighting against the anomalous has the potential to become chaotic almost instantaneously, and only more so at night. Low visibility paired with the small field of view that night vision provides means that responding elements will need a quick and easy way to distinguish from friend or foe. To this end the operative here has placed infrared glint tabs on the back of his kit. These IR tabs glow when IR light is reflected on them, and this glowing effect is only visible under night vision. This example here was taken from a still during Recovery Operation ███ ████ (See Recovery Operation ███ ████ After Action Report ██-██-████ ████ hrs local).
The operative showcased here also has a helmet mounted strobe light, specifically the S&S Precision Manta Strobe with Hybrid Tail Cap. A helmet strobe light provides friendly identification to nearby units from a long distance, ranging from other elements and vehicles on the ground to supporting aircraft in the sky. Unit Standard Operating Procedures, or SOP, will determine how identifying friend or foe under low light conditions is conducted.

The Future of Real Estate and Technology: How AI Is Reshaping the Industry
As I, Moses Cowan, reflect on my journey across law, technology, and real estate, one truth remains: disruption is constant. From my early days advising on complex legal and commercial matters, to leading Cowan Consulting, I’ve seen how technology transforms entire industries. Now, that transformation is coming fast and hard for real estate.
Why the Real Estate Industry Is at a Tipping Point
Traditionally, real estate has lagged behind other industries in adopting new tech. However, that era is over. The digital shift is accelerating. Landlords, brokers, investors, and developers now realize the risks of being left behind. Automation, data analytics, and remote transaction tools are no longer "nice to have." They’re mandatory for survival.
Artificial Intelligence: Today’s Most Talked-About Game-Changer
Across every major news outlet and tech conference, artificial intelligence dominates the conversation. But this isn't just media hype. From predictive maintenance in smart buildings to AI-powered valuation models, this technology is already altering how we buy, sell, and manage property. Platforms like Zillow, Redfin, and Compass use AI for instant property estimates, user targeting, and dynamic pricing. AI also powers tenant screening, lease analytics, and fraud detection. In my own consulting work, I’ve seen clients slash operational costs and boost net operating income by simply deploying the right tech stack powered by AI.
The Rise of Intelligent Property Management
Imagine a building that predicts when its elevator will break. Or a security system that learns tenant routines to flag unusual behavior. These aren’t dreams — they’re current capabilities enabled by machine learning and IoT integrations. Smart property management is not just about gadgets. It’s about creating seamless, efficient ecosystems. For landlords and property managers, that means fewer headaches. For tenants, it means better service and responsiveness.
Virtual Real Estate, Digital Twins, and the Metaverse
In the commercial space, digital twins — virtual replicas of physical properties — allow architects, engineers, and owners to test renovations before touching a single wall. Meanwhile, virtual land in the metaverse is being sold, leased, and developed. Whether these become long-term investments or speculative fads remains to be seen, but the shift toward digitizing land ownership is real.
What This Means for Investors and Owners
For investors, technology reduces uncertainty. AI models can project rental yields, market shifts, and cap rates with more accuracy than traditional methods. For owners, automation brings freedom — fewer site visits, lower energy bills, and streamlined compliance. But there's a catch. If you’re not keeping up, you're falling behind.
Final Thoughts
The future of real estate will be shaped by those who embrace innovation early. As someone who straddles the worlds of law, business, and technology, I urge real estate professionals to think bigger and act faster. Tech won’t replace you. But someone using it will. Cowan Consulting, LC is a boutique professional services and consulting firm. Moses Cowan is a polymath and thought leader in law, business, technology, etc. dedicated to exploring innovative solutions that bridge the gap between business and cutting-edge advancements.

Why WordPress Is Still the Best CMS for Business Websites in 2025

In a world full of website builders and content management systems (CMS), one name has stood the test of time — WordPress. Despite newer tools entering the market, WordPress continues to lead the way in 2025 as the most trusted platform for building professional, secure, and scalable websites.
But what makes WordPress such a powerful CMS? And why do businesses across all industries — from tech startups to cafes and tour operators — still rely on it?
What is a CMS, and Why Do You Need One?
A Content Management System (CMS) is a software platform that allows users to create, manage, and modify content on a website without needing to code everything from scratch.
Whether it’s updating a product page, writing a blog post, or adding new services, a CMS makes it simple and quick.
Popular CMS Options in 2025 Include:
WordPress
Wix
Squarespace
Shopify (for eCommerce)
Webflow
Among these, WordPress remains the most flexible and scalable, powering over 40% of all websites globally.
Top 7 Reasons Why WordPress Still Dominates in 2025
1. It’s Completely Open-Source and Free
One of WordPress’s biggest advantages is that it’s open-source — you have full control over your site’s design, content, and data.
There are no restrictions on how you use it. You can:
Customize every detail
Migrate your site anytime
Add as many users, pages, or plugins as needed
This level of freedom is unmatched by many other platforms.
2. Limitless Design Flexibility
With over 10,000+ themes and visual builders like Elementor and WPBakery, WordPress gives you endless creative control.
Want a minimalist portfolio? A vibrant online store? A multilingual booking system? WordPress can do it all — and look good while doing it.
3. Thousands of Plugins to Expand Your Site
From SEO and analytics to appointment booking and chat support — WordPress’s 60,000+ plugins let you build exactly what you need.
Popular plugin categories include:
SEO: Yoast, Rank Math
Ecommerce: WooCommerce
Security: Wordfence, Sucuri
Speed: LiteSpeed Cache
Forms: WPForms, Gravity Forms
You’re never limited by your theme — you can add new features anytime.
4. Built-In SEO Superpowers
WordPress is SEO-friendly out of the box. Combine that with tools like Yoast SEO, fast-loading themes, and schema plugins — and you’re looking at a website that’s ready to rank on Google.
Plus, it’s easy to:
Add meta titles and descriptions
Create sitemaps
Control URL structures (permalinks)
Optimize image alt tags
For businesses looking to grow organically, WordPress is the most reliable option.
5. Mobile-Responsive and Fast
Most WordPress themes in 2025 are designed to work seamlessly across all screen sizes — from phones to tablets to desktops. Speed optimization plugins like WP Rocket and LiteSpeed Cache make your website lightning fast — a key factor in both SEO and user retention.
6. Ideal for E-Commerce and Service Businesses
Want to sell products online? WooCommerce — WordPress’s native eCommerce plugin — is robust, easy to use, and supports everything from physical goods to digital services.
And if you’re a service-based business, you can add features like:
Appointment scheduling
Live chat
Online payments
Google Maps integration
All with just a few plugin installations.
7. Large Community and Ongoing Support
WordPress is backed by a massive global community. That means:
Regular software updates
Thousands of tutorials and guides
Developers ready to troubleshoot issues
Countless forums and YouTube channels for self-help
It’s a CMS that’s constantly evolving — and won’t be obsolete next year.
What Types of Businesses Use WordPress in 2025?
The beauty of WordPress is its universal adaptability. It’s used by:
Restaurants and cafes for menu display and reservations
Tour companies for blog posts, package listings, and online bookings
Real estate agents for showcasing properties
Startups for portfolio sites and landing pages
Hospitals and clinics for appointment systems and patient information
Online stores selling everything from handmade items to courses
Even major companies like TechCrunch, Sony, and The New Yorker still trust WordPress.
WordPress vs. Other CMS Platforms

WordPress wins for long-term growth and business scalability.
Should You DIY or Hire a Professional?
WordPress is beginner-friendly — but building a website that is fast, secure, mobile-optimized, and SEO-ready from day one takes expertise.
That’s where a professional web design company in Udaipur comes in. A team that understands design, development, SEO, and user behavior can help you:
Customize themes and plugins
Set up proper security and backup systems
Speed-optimize for Google ranking
Build landing pages that convert
You focus on your business — let the experts handle the tech.
Final Words: WordPress Is Still King in 2025
Trends come and go. Website builders rise and fall. But WordPress continues to rule the CMS world — and for good reason.

Top-Paying Affiliate Programs in the Tech Industry
The tech industry is one of the most profitable spaces for affiliate marketers. With a constant flow of new tools, platforms, and digital services, there’s never a shortage of products to promote. But beyond the variety, what really makes tech affiliate programs stand out is their high payouts and the opportunity for recurring commissions—meaning you get paid month after month for one successful referral.

If you’re a content creator, blogger, or someone looking to tap into affiliate marketing in the tech niche, here are some of the top-paying affiliate programs to consider in 2025.
Bluehost
Bluehost has long been a favorite in the affiliate world, especially for bloggers and YouTubers promoting how to start a website. It's beginner-friendly, reliable, and offers a high one-time payout for every successful signup. The best part? It’s easy to recommend because most people looking to start a blog or business need web hosting.

You can earn anywhere between $65 to $130 per referral, depending on your volume and performance. And with a 60-day cookie window, you have a decent chance of conversions even if users don’t sign up right away.
Elementor
If you're in the web design or WordPress space, Elementor is a fantastic affiliate program to join. It’s one of the most popular drag-and-drop page builders, used by millions of websites globally. The interface is beginner-friendly, and many people are happy to pay for the Pro version once they get a taste of the free one.
Elementor offers a 50% commission per sale, which is pretty generous—especially considering many users renew their plans every year. It's an easy fit for creators who share tutorials, templates, or design tips.
NordVPN
With privacy concerns growing worldwide, VPNs are in high demand—and NordVPN is one of the most trusted names in the space. Their affiliate program is known for being generous, offering up to 40% recurring commissions and sometimes 100% on the first payment.

What makes this even better is that VPNs appeal to a broad audience: travelers, remote workers, students, streamers—you name it. If your content speaks to any of those groups, NordVPN is a solid program to promote.
WP Engine
Looking for a high-ticket program? WP Engine is a premium WordPress hosting provider designed for performance-focused websites. While it’s more expensive than basic hosting providers, the affiliate payouts reflect that. You can earn at least $200 per sale, and in some cases, much more.
It’s ideal for creators targeting serious bloggers, agencies, or businesses that are willing to invest in top-tier performance.
ClickFunnels
ClickFunnels is a funnel-building platform that’s hugely popular in the digital marketing and online course world. While it’s not cheap for users, it offers up to 40% recurring commissions to affiliates. That means if someone signs up using your link and stays for six months or a year, you’ll keep getting paid.
This program works well if your audience includes coaches, course creators, or e-commerce entrepreneurs looking to increase their sales.
Kinsta
Kinsta is another premium WordPress hosting platform that focuses on speed, security, and scalability. It’s popular among agencies, SaaS startups, and developers—and it offers both a solid upfront payment ($50–$500 per referral) and 10% monthly recurring income.
If you’re creating content for businesses or professional website users, Kinsta can be a high-paying and reliable affiliate option.
Conclusion
The beauty of affiliate marketing in the tech industry is that there’s something for everyone—whether you’re promoting beginner-friendly hosting tools, premium SaaS platforms, or high-ticket services. Many of these programs also offer recurring payouts, which means your effort today can pay off for months or even years to come.
If you’re planning to dive into Affiliate Marketing, choosing the right tech products to promote can make a huge difference in your earnings. Focus on recommending tools you truly believe in, create helpful content around them, and watch your income grow over time.

How to Update PHP in WordPress: A Complete Guide for a Faster, More Secure Site Updating PHP in WordPress may not sound like that newsworthy topic, but absolutely must be done. PHP is a language that runs your WordPress site: older versions can slow you down while keeping security vulnerabilities open and create incompatibilities with other plugins and themes. This guide will cover everything you need to consider when working on PHP in WordPress from start to finish in a safe and effective way.
What is PHP, and Why Should One Update It? Let's first look at some basics before moving to the steps:
PHP is a programming language through which WordPress is built. All those themes, plugins, and core files, basically, run on PHP.
By virtue of being newly released, PHP versions are better and are fast and supported.
Time and again, an outdated PHP leads to slow load times, errors on your site, and the like: security vulnerabilities. Updating PHP doesn't update your tangible WordPress content; it just upgrades the software that makes it all work more efficiently. Check Your Current PHP Version First thing first, make sure you identify which PHP version your site is running currently. How to check:
Through WordPress Dashboard: From WordPress, go to the admin panel, Tools > Site Health > Info, and under the Server section, you will see your PHP version.
Via Hosting Control Panel: Most hosting providers usually display their version of PHP directly in their dashboard (cPanel, Plesk, or other custom panels). Why Updating PHP Is Vital for Your WordPress Site Still wondering why you should care? Here is what updating PHP will do for you: Better Performance:
Newer versions of PHP, such as PHP 8.2 onwards, are considerably faster. What this means is fastidious speed in loading your pages, better SEO, and happier visitors. Improved Security: Each new release fixes security holes found in older versions. Therefore, if one is running an old version, he is basically leaving his site open to known exploits. Plugin and Theme Compatibility: Since many plugin and theme developers support only the newer versions of PHP, by not upgrading, you may find some features aren't working properly. Future-Proofing: In the best experience possible, WordPress recommends using the most recent PHP version supported by your hosting provider. Back Up Your Site Before doing anything, make sure to back up your website. Sometimes, updating PHP can cause incompatibility issues with older plugins or themes, so it is wise to have a full backup so you can restore your site just in case. How to Back Up:
Do a backup using a plugin like UpdraftPlus or Duplicator, for both your files and the database.
Or, check your host service for backup options-Most hosts offer daily backups you can restore from. Test PHP Compatibility You now need to check for compatibility between your current setup—plugins, theme, custom codes—and the newer PHP version. Tools for Testing:
PHP Compatibility Checker: Plugins capacity like "PHP Compatibility Checker" from WP Engine scan your site for all potential issues really going to arise prior to your update of php.
Staging Environment: If your host does provide a staging environment, give the site a try with the new PHP version in that environment. Update PHP Version via Hosting Panel
Now, the main event: updating PHP itself. How you do this update depends on your hosting provider, but most will follow a similar process. For cPanel Users:
Log in to your cPanel dashboard.
Look for "Select PHP Version" or "MultiPHP Manager".
Select a domain you want to update.
Choose the latest PHP version available (say, PHP 8.2).
Save or apply the change. For Managed WordPress Websites: Managed hosts such as Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, or Bluehost typically offer a PHP update option with a single click in their hosting dashboard. Please, refer to your hosting documentation for more information. Test Your Website Thoroughly After completing a PHP update, go ahead and check your website thoroughly:
Frontend Pages: See that everything looks as intended and loads fine.
Admin Dashboard: Go through menus, publish a post, update plugins, etc., with the system, and watch out for any errors.
Contact forms, eCommerce pages, and more: Check if vital functions still work correctly. If anything appears wrong, do not worry! Most errors after updating PHP usually arise because of outdated plugins or themes. Fixing Common Problems Here are a few simple steps in case you find yourself with a problem: White Screen of Death/500 Error:
Revert from a backup, or downgrade your PHP from the hosting panel.
Find out which plugin/theme is causing the conflict. Plugin or Theme Issues:
Ensure all plugins and themes are up-to-date.
If issues remain, then replace outdated plugins with counterparts that are currently being maintained. Keywords for Smooth PHP Update Update Everything First: Before you go on upgrading from a version, it pays to have your WordPress core, themes, and plugins updated. Use Staging: One big reason to test in a staging environment is to root out anything that might break before you push the changes to production. Reach Out to Your Host: There are times when you might not want to upgrade PHP yourself; many hosting providers will assist you with this. Reasons to Keep Your PHP Updated: By now, you realize that upgrading PHP is not simply a tick-box action but rather an enormous improvement of performance and security. Let's do a brief recap:
Speed: These are important criteria involving loading time and should result in the increasing of SEO ranking and user experience.
Security: Known security disclosures are patched so your site remains secure.
Compatibility: Ensures that your plugins and themes, If any, keep functioning well.
Peace of Mind: Having an up-to-date PHP version guarantees that your site is fundamentally sound. Take Charge of Your Site's Health! Upgrading PHP in WordPress is one of those things that might sound overly intimidating for some but is really one of the most simple changes with weighty impacts on the security and performance of your website. Ideally, performing compatibility testing on the codebase of your website, backing up the website, testing it, and updating through the hosting control panel are setting the website up for success in the long run.
This really is the ideal time. Back up the website, do the compatibility testing, and update our PHP. Would you ever get stuck or are unsure, please ask for support from the hosting provider support team! Ready to take your website to the next level? Partner with a trusted Digital Marketing Company in Chandigarh to boost your WordPress site’s reach and drive real results!

Why Ongoing WordPress Support Isn’t Optional Anymore — It’s Just Smart
Sometimes, It’s Not About What You Can Do — It’s About What You Don’t Have to Worry About
Keeping a WordPress website up and running seems simple—until something breaks. An update clashes with a plugin, your site slows to a crawl, or worse, it goes offline without warning. At that moment, most business owners realize they’re spending valuable time solving something they weren’t meant to handle.
That’s where reliable WordPress support changes everything.
Your Website Isn’t Just a Page—It’s Part of Your Business
Most people think building a website is a one-time task. But in reality, a website is like a living system — it constantly changes, updates, and needs attention. Themes evolve, plugins release new versions, bots try to get in, and Google expects your site to load in under 2 seconds. Without someone actively maintaining it, things slowly fall apart.
With support that’s consistent and responsive, you don’t have to keep one eye on your dashboard all the time. It just works — so you can focus on what actually moves your business forward.
When Something Goes Wrong, It’s Usually at the Worst Time
There’s never a good moment for a WordPress error. Whether you’re launching a campaign, getting traffic from social media, or simply sleeping — errors don’t check your schedule. What matters is how quickly they’re handled.
Having a support team means you’re not left scrambling. Small issues don’t grow into bigger ones. Fixes happen faster. And most of the time, you don’t even have to ask — it’s already being taken care of.
Security Isn’t a Technical Thing — It’s About Trust
When visitors land on your site, they’re trusting you with their time and information. A hacked or compromised site doesn’t just damage your SEO — it affects your reputation. Having someone keep an eye on vulnerabilities, set up regular backups, and respond to threats isn’t just smart — it’s essential.
Good support quietly keeps that trust intact.
A Faster Website Doesn’t Just Feel Better — It Performs Better
No one wants to wait. Not your customers, not Google, and definitely not your mobile users. A slow site loses traffic, sales, and credibility. With regular optimization — image cleanup, caching, database tweaks — your site feels light, loads quickly, and keeps people around longer.
That kind of performance doesn’t happen once. It happens with regular care behind the scenes.
Real Support Gives You Something You Can’t Google: Peace of Mind
It’s easy to search for solutions online. But when you’re already juggling a dozen tasks, the last thing you need is a DIY fix for a complex problem. Knowing someone’s there, checking updates, monitoring performance, and standing by if anything goes wrong — that’s a different level of comfort.
With WP Pilots, support isn’t about waiting for problems — it’s about preventing them. You don’t need to chase us. We’re already on it.
Let’s Keep It Simple — and Stress-Free
If your WordPress site is important to your business, it deserves more than occasional attention. It needs consistent care, quick responses, and someone who knows what’s going on behind the scenes.
💬 Need a second pair of eyes on your website? Whether it's a one-time issue or ongoing support, we’re here to help — no stress, no tech talk, just solutions that work. Get in Touch with WP Pilots → https://wppilots.com/#contact

TOP ASYLUM ATTORNEY IN DALLAS: PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS AND FUTURE
https://gehilaw.com/
https://gehilaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Top-Asylum-Attorney-in-Dallas_-Protect-Your-Rights-and-Future-2048x1152.png
As an asylum seeker, it is essential to find a top asylum attorney in Dallas to represent you through the complete process of asylum process. Asylum attorneys see how complex and challenging the procedure of asylum procedure can be. This is especially the case for people who wish to seek protection from political or religious persecution.
These asylum attorneys strive to allow clients to stay in America by fighting extremely hard for the clients not to be deported. They will walk you through the complete asylum process.
If you are seeking any form of asylum because you are worried about being persecuted for your beliefs or due to religious issues, asylum attorneys are ready to stand up for your rights. They take a personal approach, really listening to your story and putting in the effort to get the best outcome for you.
Gehi and Associates has extremely seasoned asylum attorneys in Dallas who possess a great rate of success representing clients throughout Dallas and the entire United States. They will lead you through the process and procure the legal protection that you deserve.
America has never been more than a sanctuary for people who wish to flee persecution. In this regard, an asylum attorney knows the complexities of asylum law so that they can counsel applicants for asylum, as well as represent them.
In this post, we provide useful information on how asylum can help you secure your future in the US, and the critical role of a top asylum attorney in Dallas in this regard.
General info on asylum from the viewpoint of an asylum attorney in Dallas
Asylum in its strict sense is a refuge for a person who has already gone through persecution or even the threat of persecution in their native country. This harm must be because of the victim’s social group, religion, nationality, ethnic group, or political opinion.
You must establish, as an asylum seeker, that you fear persecution. This fear can also arise from religious or political concerns. You are advised to consult with a top asylum attorney in Dallas to guide you on how best to prepare the application and to protect your rights.
The asylum status is traceable to the Refugee Act. This Act was created by the United Nations in 1948. It was meant to protect those who were fleeing the worst situation in their respective countries.
The US itself copied and implemented the Refugee Act in 1980 and gave asylum seekers an opportunity to settle in and have an opportunity for asylum in line with US law.
One year later, once the person has resided as an asylum seeker, they can qualify to apply for the green card. They can also legally work, qualify for a Social Security card, and qualify to become a future citizen.
Asylum status may be given to a person who is already inside a country or who travels towards the borders and is meeting the requirements of being an international “refugee.”
A refugee is a person who is unwilling or unable to return home because the person has already been persecuted, or because of well-founded fear of persecution of the same kind in the future.
The harm must be due to race, religion, nationality, social group, or political opinion. People faced with this situation are refugees as per the United Nations 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol. The US applied this definition to its immigration policy in the Refugee Act of 1980.
Points to note before asylum applications
For one to be eligible to be considered as an asylee in the US, one must be a refugee under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). A refugee does not want to, nor should, go back to their home country because they have a good reason to fear persecution.
This is on account of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
Of most importance to note on filing are never being in the situation of being eligible for removal proceedings. In this case, an asylum attorney in Dallas can help you with defensive asylum though.
You must file on or within one year of entry.
If an individual is in deportation, they can defend themselves on the asylum ground. Such individual can visit an asylum attorney in Dallas and appeal before an immigration judge in the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).
This is with hope that they might get to stay in the US. Of supreme significance is hiring professional persons so that your rights are protected and chances of winning are possible.
Fast and simple, an assessment by a seasoned asylum attorney in Dallas is going to let you know whether you are eligible for asylum and walk you through the process.
Common problems with the asylum process
The US asylum process is extremely complicated and full of obstacles for asylum seekers. It is slow, even taking years, owing to the backlog, and detention is also a monolithic problem.
Over 1.82 million removal cases are pending before USCIS. Detention kills the hope of an asylum seeker. This is especially when they are unrepresented by an asylum attorney.
There have been over 470,786 pending affirmative asylum petitions pending before USCIS for adjudication. Also, immigration court backlogs were at an all-time high. Detention can delay the case of an asylum seeker.
This is especially in the absence of the benefits of representation. Through the guidance of an asylum attorney, people are in a better place to navigate the complex asylum process and protect their rights and well-being.
Info on the help an asylum attorney in Dallas offers
Asylum attorneys in Dallas are only responsible for guiding individuals past the barriers of asylum law and aiding those who are eligible to escape peril. They practice mainly legal advisory work, documentation, and advocacy.
They also fight for rights and stay abreast of international and US law regarding asylum status. They also refer asylum seekers to basic services like housing, medical care, and mental health.
It is very crucial to have an experienced and detail-oriented asylum attorney during the complex process of application process. An asylum attorney in Dallas will be capable of helping in reviewing your case and guiding you through the asylum application.
They can represent you in court and create an appeal for you. They realize that each asylum case has varied specifications and requires unique legal solutions to fight such specialized issues.
Ways a top asylum attorney in Dallas can help you secure your future in the US
Trying to defend yourself in deportation cases without professional legal experience can greatly reduce your chances of a positive outcome. It is always advisable to consult with an attorney on any legal issue.
This is especially true about immigration cases, which are complicated and hard to defend against. Consulting with an experienced asylum attorney in Dallas can have several important advantages:
In-depth knowledge of immigration law: Immigration law is intricate and evolving. Our attorneys comprehend such laws and regulations, ensuring your rights during the duration of your case.
Rich experience in immigration court: With years of experience in immigration court, a top asylum attorney has valuable experience and insight for your case. This experience may work amazingly well to produce a robust defense.
