The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) provided millions of dollars in funding to extremist groups tied to designated terrorist organizations and their allies, according to a report published by Middle East Forum, a U.S. think tank.

"The Middle East Forum’s multi-year study of USAID and State Department spending has uncovered $164 million of approved grants to radical organizations, with at least $122 million going to groups aligned with designated terrorists and their supporters," the conservative think tank wrote in its report published Feb. 4. 

"Billions more of federal dollars have been given to leading American aid charities which have consistently failed to vet their terror-tied local partners, and show little interest in improving their practices, to the apparent indifference of the federal government."

The Middle East Forum’s report focuses specifically on funds from USAID and the State Department that wound up in the hands of radical groups and organizations tied to terrorism.  

The think tank reported that among its top findings, USAID was found to have given more than $900,000 to a "Gaza-based terror charity" called Bayader Association for Environment and Development. The funding began in 2016, and its most recent allocation was made just days before Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. 

Bayader describes itself as a nongovernmental organization (NGO) that works "to build a civil society" on the Gaza Strip. 

"Founded in 2007, shortly after Hamas’s takeover of the Gaza Strip, Bayader operates in close cooperation with the Hamas regime. Its 2021 annual report notes ‘coordination’ and ‘meetings’ with Hamas’s Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Social Affairs and Ministry of Agriculture," the report found. 

The funds were secured through other NGOs, such as Catholic Relief Services and medical groups. 

"​​But USAID coordinates directly with Bayader as well," according to the report. "USAID officials have praised Bayader’s work on social media, and even visited Bayader’s offices, where one senior USAID official, Jonathan Kamin, received an award from the terror-linked charity." 

The report also found that USAID approved a $12.5 million grant in 2024 to the American Near East Refugee Agency, which is also "a long-standing partner" of Bayader. The American Near East Refugee Agency is an NGO that was established in 1968 in an effort to assist refugees following the Arab-Israeli War. 

The report found staffers with the NGO have repeatedly and publicly posted "violent ideas, without apparent censure from top charity officials." The comments on social media posted by employees include: calling on God to "erase the Jews," expressing support for the "brave prisoners" in Israeli jails during the Hamas-Israel war, and describing Oct. 7, 2023, as a "beautiful morning."

Sam Westrop, the director of the Middle East Forum's counter-extremism project, Islamist Watch, posted a highlight thread on X of the report’s findings, describing the examples as "horrifying."

"USAID won't even tell us how much they gave the Unlimited Friends Association, a Gaza terror charity which operates with help from Hamas. The head of the charity promises to ‘cleanse’ their land of ‘impure Jews,’" Westrop posted in the thread of an example. 

"USAID gave millions to Islamic Relief, whose Gaza branch openly works with senior terrorist officials in Gaza, including Hamas politburo member Ghazi Hamad. who promised that Hamas would repeat Oct 7 attacks ‘time and again until Israel is annihilated,’" he posted in another example from the report. 

USAID funds totaling $125,000 were found in the hands of the Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA) in 2015, despite the U.S. Treasury designating the group a global terrorist organization in 2004 due to its ties to Osama bin Laden. 

The report continued that USAID "undoubtedly knew of ISRA’s terrorism activities. In 2010, the executive director of ISRA’s U.S. branch (IARA-USA) and a board member pleaded guilty to money-laundering, theft of public funds, conspiracy, and several other charges. The plea was listed on USAID’s own website," the report found. IARA-USA stands for the Islamic American Relief Agency.

The funds were directed to ISRA via an evangelical charity called World Vision that works to provide clean water to areas of Sudan, according to the report. 

A World Vision official told Fox News Digital when asked about the report that the charity earned approval to work in Sudan "to help build a better world for the most vulnerable children and their families" and that it takes "compliance obligations seriously."

"As soon as we became aware that a local partner, Islamic Relief Agency, might be on the list of organizations banned from transactions by the United States, we suspended the grant and asked the US Government to confirm its status," the official said. "We would never knowingly put those we serve or our staff at risk by working with a partner on the list of banned organizations. We exist to help build a better world for children and their families, serving in the name of Jesus Christ. We have no evidence that any of our funds have been used for anything other than urgent humanitarian work." 

"As a Christian humanitarian organization, we do not compromise our beliefs nor commitment to integrity as we work with governments throughout the world," the official said. "It is not easy to operate in fragile contexts, yet this is where the Lord is calling us.  We remain committed to our vision of bringing life in all its fullness to vulnerable children around the world." 

Fox News Digital reached out to Bayader, the American Near East Refugee Agency and Catholic Relief Services but did not receive replies

USAID is under fire from the Trump administration as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its chair, Elon Musk, investigate the agency’s spending practices and prepare to revamp and potentially shutter the agency. USAID is currently led by interim director Secretary of State Marco Rubio. 

The agency announced on its website on Tuesday, Feb. 4, that nearly all personnel would be placed on leave by Friday, making a few exceptions for those in roles related to "mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs." Its overseas missions reportedly also had been told to shut down.

Lawmakers, news outlets and think tanks have dug into past reports related to USAID spending amid the apparent dismantling of the agency, finding countless examples of money channeled to questionable organizations or programs, such as creating a version of "Sesame Street" in Iraq or funding pottery classes in Morocco. 

USAID was established in 1961 under the Kennedy administration, operating as an independent agency that works closely with the State Department to allocate civilian foreign aid. Under Rubio, the agency could be abolished after its reorganization over the coming days, he said in a letter to bipartisan lawmakers on Feb. 3. 

"In consultation with Congress, USAID may move, reorganize, and integrate certain missions, bureaus, and offices into the Department of State, and the remainder of the Agency may be abolished consistent with applicable law," Rubio wrote.

Musk, meanwhile, has posted on X that USAID is a "criminal organization" and that it is "time for it to die."

Some comments from the Reddit Thread this image as found on: " I know a few people that work for NOAA [Edit added from Victus: So do I, FEMA too, this will fuck over both groups and thence the rest of America]. Let’s not forget the Project 2025 agenda is also to privatize weather data and sell its accuracy to the highest bidder. Say goodbye to free tornado warnings in the central states that typically vote Red. The P2025ers are their own worst enemy."

"I work with tribal Head Start programs and a line item in PJ25 is to defund the Department of Education and totally eliminate the Head Start program.

For those who don’t know, Head Start is a free preschool program for low income children ages 0-5 started in 1965 which has served 38 million children and families. Ending this program would devastate rural, tribal, and urban communities and explode the already horrible child care crisis.

Why would they do this? Because if they can destroy the federal education system they can funnel all that $$ to Betsy DeVos and the church run schools who run unregulated, tax-exempt schools. They will be free to discriminate, abuse, segregate and ensure only those they feel are deserving have access to education and women have to leave the workforce. It’s all part of their traditional gender role Gilead dreamland."

"They want cheap exploitable labor... they want to bring back child labor with no safe guards. It's already happening in a number of red Midwestern states."

Another poster adds: "Anyone that wants third parties to actually be viable needs to be out campaigning for an alternative voting system. 26 states allow for a citizens ballot initiative, where all that is required is to get enough signatures for a different voting system to be on the ballot. That way, third party candidates are not acting as spoiler candidates in local, state, national, and even for the presidential election (as seen in Alaska who is currently using Ranked Choice voting).

Implementing Ranked STAR Voting, STAR Voting, Approval Voting, or even Ranked Choice Voting systems would be beneficial to safeguard the future. As groups that don’t side with extremists can select their alternate choices safely, these different systems allow 3rd party representation, and they allow folks to select their preferred candidates without risking to lose the election to their least liked candidate(s) due to the ‘spoiler effect’.

Ranked STAR or Approval Voting are my personal preferred systems (the least liked candidate can rarely still win in RCV due to vote splitting but it’s less common than in FPTP), but all of these options are better than our current First Past the Post system. Alaska and Maine are two states which already use an alternative voting system (they have Ranked Choice voting). Any of these voting systems would go a long ways to helping move the country towards multi-partisanship in politics.

I believe supporting Harris and Democrats in the House and Senate for this election would go a long ways to helping change the current media environment and can help implement voting rights legislation. It also would be helpful in showing the GOP that our country doesn’t want MAGA extremists."

The Codex Astartes — Rules

Canon Divergence

— My interpretation will be based on what little I could gather from the game itself plus my headcanons, meaning that my muse is heavily canon divergent.

— I don’t know fully about everything that happens inside the Warhammer 40k universe, meaning that my knowledge about certain events is very lack and I ask you to please be patient with me if I were to make mistakes.

— I’ll be using the wiki and in-game knowledge to create a different but still close enough to canon interpretation of Gadriel, if you’re looking for a 100% faithful portrait of the character unfortunately this is not the correct blog for you.

Activity & Speed

— As I have other blogs to look after and a life behind the screen, I’ll be low-activity on this blog. Mutuals can catch me on discord (given upon request)! Since this is a sideblog, I will follow back and interact from captainseamech.

— Since I’m low-maintenance, I’m pretty chill and patient towards my roleplay partners. All that I ask is for the same courtesy towards me. I might be more active throughout the day doing dash shenanigans and even writing replies on mobile.

— Like I mentioned before, I have other things to attend behind the screen, meaning that I may take a while to get to your reply. If it has been a while (say, about a month) and I didn’t reply to your thread, you can poke me about it since there’s a chance that I forgot about it.

Writing & Plotting

— My writing is in multi-para style as I tend to write quite a lot sometimes. You don’t have to match my length, all that I ask is to give me something to work with. Since English isn’t my first language, spelling mistakes and typos are prone to happen; if that’s the case, just poke me and I will fix it!

— My formatting consists of small text with divider and may contain 100x100 icons. It’s not a requirement to match my formatting style, and if you have any issues with reading small text just hit me up and I’ll avoid using it during our threads.

— I’m more of a wing-it sort of partner and mostly reachable through ask memes, but I’m also easily reachable for plotting through IMs and Discord DMs!

Shipping

— I’m a shipping whore, but I ship based on chemistry. Pre-established are a-okay as well! Although my interpretation of Gadriel is more male-leaning, I don’t mind shipping with female muses.

— Crossover ships are always welcomed and encouraged!! I may be picky with OCs but as long as there’s a bio about them I might give it a chance!

— All romantic ships happen within their own little universe, meaning they won’t collide with one another as Gadriel is very loyal to his partner(s). I will only ship romantically with adult muses and muns for my own comfort.

Blog Triggers & My No-Nos

— I tag all my triggers under ‘trigger tw’ and ‘trigger mention tw’

— This blog will contain dark themes such as war, death, PTSD, mental health struggles and more. If that’s not your cup of tea, I recommend not following me, though I’ll tag it all as best as possible.

— Basic roleplay etiquette aplies, such as: no godmodding, no metagaming, no racism, no homophobia, no bigotry, etc. MUSE DOES NOT EQUALS MUN, meaning that whatever my muse does or says are not related to what I support/believe nor do I condone their actions.

— I will not follow minors nor blogs without rules page and bio. Period. I will also hardblock all of those who spread anon hate or are problematic towards my friends.

— Please avoid bringing drama/callouts my way unless its of utmost importance as this blog is a drama-free environment. Also please don’t bring irl politics and religions towards this blog; although it may contain religious topics, it’s all but a fictional religion.

About the Mun

— Hello! My name is Lapis, I’m 24 years old and I use he/they pronouns. I’ve been roleplaying on Tumblr since late 2016 but I have more roleplaying experience outside of here!

— I’m neurodivergent with a busy life behind the screens, meaning that I might take turns into forgetting things, hopping onto hyperfixations and overall not have energy to do things here. I hope this is not a big turn off to you.

— I’m anxious and shy to approach at first, but I promise that I’m very friendly despite my huge chunk of rules! Feel free to hit me up wherever, I don’t bite at all. If I’m not here, you can find me doing silly stuff and working on my main!

[ancientforgcd]

General

This blog mainly focuses on Honkai Impact, Genshin Impact Cthulhu Mythos, and Honkai Star Rail, along with various original characters and other fandoms like Dragon Ball, SCP, etc. The primary characters I often feature are Ruby Rose and Kiana Kaslana. While these two are the main focus, I also occasionally highlight other muses and themes, depending on my current interests and creative direction.

Selectiveness 

-I’m a semi-selective roleplayer and I will only roleplay with mutuals. I will kindly ask for you to please check and make sure that we’re mutuals before interacting with me, if you do not then I will ignore you. If you persist, then it’ll earn you a block.

-Please do not reblog threads you are not apart of or reblog ooc posts. It’s rude to do, but feel free to like any thread or ooc post you want.

-This is a supportive and friendly space. I stand by my friends and fellow roleplayers, so if I notice any form of harassment, I won’t hesitate to block to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.

-I don’t have exclusives since I know people come and go just as blogs do, but if we’re very close friends (or just roleplay a lot together) I don’t mind coming up with verses specifically for our muses.

Memes, Asks & Plots 

-My inbox and IM are always open for asks, memes, chatting, plotting, etc. I’m all ears for whatever creative ideas you’ve got cooking.

-Reblog Karma? Nah: Here’s the deal - you don’t need to feel any pressure to reciprocate when sending asks. Feel free to reach out whenever the inspiration strikes, no strings attached! And as for me, I might reblog directly from you or the original source, depending on what’s easiest at the moment. The same goes for you, feel free to directly reblog memes off me too.

-Curious about my character? Got a question for me personally? Bring it on! I’m more than happy to answer most questions. I’m open to all sorts of other questions, whether we’re mutuals or not. Though, I’ll be a bit selective with those.

Characters & Roleplay 

-Ruby is Canon-Divergent and won’t be played any differently. Most other muses are played by how I interpret them. As for my other muses, they’ll be played by how I interpret them.

-Some muses have codenames, some use them, some don't. Really depends on the circumstances.

-All muses are multi-ship. Each ship takes place in its own verse.

-I love seeing new faces! Feel free to bring your OCs or canon characters into the mix. Just make sure there’s a short bio or some basic information available for them.

-Some of my muses are gonna be overpowered. If you don’t like the fact that you’re essentially going to be seeing deities and other powerful individuals in equal measure, then this blog is not for you.

An important thing to read, which is relevant for this blog, as taken from this.

-My muses are multi-dimensional, capable of both good and bad deeds. Their actions are shaped by the tone and circumstances of each thread, keep that in mind.

-No God-Modding, Please: Let’s keep our roleplay fair and fun for everyone. If god-modding happens, I will talk to you in a civil manner. It’s all about respecting each other’s characters and their stories.

-All Genres and Lengths Welcome: Whether it’s novella-style depth or light-hearted crack, I’m open to all kinds of roleplay. Bring on the variety!

-Slow and Steady Roleplaying: Just a heads-up – I’m on the slower side when it comes to replies. But don’t hesitate to nudge me for a response. I promise to get back to you, though it might take a bit of time.

-Real Life Comes First: Remember, the real world keeps me busy with work and daily commitments. So, please bear with me if my responses take a while. Thank you for understanding.

NSFW & Triggers

-Mature Themes Ahead: This blog features mature content, including torture, gore, and sexual themes. If these topics are not your cup of tea, feel free to use the unfollow button. Or, if you prefer, let me know and I’ll tag these posts for easier navigation.

-NSFW Content and Tags: Most stuff NSFW occurs on Sunday, or as we all collectively call it, Sinday. Any and all Sinday content and threads that happen are considered non-canon and will happen on @lewdforged.

-Trigger-Free Zone: Personally, I don’t have any triggers. However, I’m always mindful of the content I share and its impact on my followers.

-Approach to Angst: While I have a penchant for roleplaying angst, an overabundance has somewhat dimmed its appeal for me. So, expect it to appear only sparingly.

-Dealing with Anon Hate: Anonymous hate messages will mostly be ignored. I might post them occasionally, especially if I’m feeling a bit sassy, but they won’t get much of my attention.

-Drama-Free Space: Drama, should it arise, will be sidestepped or tagged accordingly. I’m all about maintaining a positive and enjoyable space here.

Icons 

A special shoutout to Cloud-Ya, the amazing artist behind the HoV icons. Big thanks to them for granting permission to use their work.

Word from the Mun

Thank you for reading my rules, fam. My name is Joy Boy, 27 and it’s nice meeting ya. There won’t be many details on myself, but do know that I will answer most questions that are asked about me. I'm a tad bit unhinged, but who isn't these days?

That aside, I am here for the roleplay and stress relief, not for some petty drama and god knows what else, hence why I don’t associate myself with the RWBY Fandom and neither will I participate in any callout or otherwise drama either. Most of us are adults here, so let’s act like it.

Worry not, there is no password here and I will send in any myself once I read your rules as well.

Joe Biden headed into the 2022 midterms with historically high numbers of voters saying the country and the economy were headed in the wrong direction. His approval ratings were at, or near, historic lows for a President in the midterms. Yet Dems did historically well. Why? Voters on both sides of the aisle believe their worldview is under threat and attack. The threat is existential. The candidates and party’s who lead the fights to protect them are far less important than the world view they’re trying to preserve.

This is why Republicans vote for the most flawed candidate in US history. No matter his deficiencies Trump is the candidate who fought and won for their side. Same for Biden. Elites and the media have been fueling an apocalyptic narrative for a decade. Why are they surprised that the base resents being told who they should be supporting because of a stylistic, or even substantive failing? For many pundits this is just a DC parlor game. Another exercise in following the insider herd mentality of politics. This hierarchal structure of politics has worked for most of our country’s history - but it’s collapsing in the digital age where voters are tired of being bullied by these gatekeepers. All politics is national now. The hierarchical structure of politics is gone. Republicans went through this process in 2016. A horrifically flawed candidate won a multi candidate field and became the nominee. The pundits & media said he could not win. The polling showed he could not win. Historical trend lines showed he could not win. He won.

Trump won because his base was intact. All campaigns in a negatively charged environment are base elections. If you don’t have a secure energized base you don’t have a campaign. You can’t appeal to swing or Independent voters until your base is secure. Ironically, the backlash of Dem base voters to the media and pundit meltdown might have the effect of firing up the base for Biden in a way nothing else could have. And if you have a fired up base four months before an election anyone saying you can’t win isn’t a serious person Biden has consistently outperformed his polling on Election Day throughout 2024, usually by wide margins. Trump has consistently underperformed his polling on Election Day throughout 2024, usually by wide margins. These are significant data points in assessing base support.

The recent polling shows Trump picking up GOP support. Ok, that’s expected. Same polls show Biden picking up Independent support. Extremely important data point. But what about Democrats? The after debate polls show Biden losing Dem support and going to…undecided. It’s a damn good bet that this vote comes back - probably very soon - but just in November. What’s the best way to get them back? Attack. Attack. Attack. For all the reasons outlined above there is every reason to believe that Biden begins to close the polling gap as Trump becomes the issue in the campaign. So when the naysayers point out Biden’s weaknesses and hammer them home continually they’re driving down Dem support levels

The WSJ poll shows Biden getting 86% of Dem voter support. Good numbers but down from 93% in February. If Biden consolidates this 7%+ of the base AND continues to pick up IND voters (both more likely than not) the race becomes not only competitive but begins to advantage him So when people ask “What’s the plan?” That’s the freakin plan. It all happens when the issue becomes Trump and the campaign goes on offense rather than listening to the arsonists lighting their own house on fire. This isn’t hypothetical btw. It’s predictable voter behavior. This isn’t some grand bank shot theory. It’s how voters are predisposed to vote anyway. The race is gonna bounce around for a bit. That’s normal. But it will consolidate along these lines and narrow.

Throwing a Hail Mary pass is sometimes a good idea in the last desparate throes of imminent defeat. But that’s never the case at the start of the second quarter. That’s essentially where the campaign is at.

Here's a 8-step guide to effectively learn Java

Step 1: Setting Up Your Development Environment

Your journey to becoming a proficient Java developer commences with setting up your development environment. The essential components are the Java Development Kit (JDK) and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA. These tools aren't just convenient; they're the gears that will drive your Java programming endeavors. They streamline the coding process, provide useful features, and offer an organized workspace, making your coding experience efficient and enjoyable.

Step 2: The Foundation - Learning the Basics

With your development environment ready, it's time to delve into the fundamental building blocks of Java. Begin by acquainting yourself with data types, variables, operators, and control structures. These are the nuts and bolts of the language, and a solid grasp of these concepts is essential. You'll find an abundance of online tutorials and beginner-friendly Java books to assist you at this stage.

Step 3: Navigating the World of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

The object-oriented programming (OOP) approach is well known in Java. To harness the true power of Java, immerse yourself in the world of OOP. Understand the concepts of classes, objects, inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism. This knowledge forms the bedrock of Java programming and enables you to design efficient, organized, and scalable code.

Step 4: Mastering Data Structures and Algorithms

Data structures (such as arrays, lists, and sets) and algorithms are the secret sauce behind solving real-world problems efficiently. As you progress, dive into the world of data structures and algorithms. These are the tools that will empower you to handle complex tasks and optimize your code. They're your go-to assets for creating efficient and responsive applications.

This is a side blog to my main which is: @stxrving-scientist [Don't Starve]

I am new to the Trigun fandom, I have only seen the 2023 anime and I have fallen in love with this blonde cinnamon roll and now I am going to rp him.

I am just having fun with him and I may put my own twist on how I interpret him. I honestly just want to create a chill environment and have fun with this wet dog of a man.

There will be spoilers to the anime, so if you have not seen the series please be warned.

I usually come and say hi after a follow.

If you are a little nervous with interacting/talking to me, please feel free to browse the; -𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗇 𝖿𝗈𝗋 𝗂𝗇𝗍𝖾𝗋𝖺𝖼𝗍𝗂𝗈𝗇- tag. They can be replied to by moots and non-moots.

This blog is going to double as an ask blog. Personal blogs can ask questions and follow if you wish just don't reblog any threads I have.

If you are a personal and are a bit unsure of what you can and can not reblog just ask. I won't be mad. I normally tag stuff 'okie to reblog'. I just want everyone to be happy and have fun on this blog.

This blog is 18+ because of the themes that will be present.

This blog is going to be semi-active. Sometimes I have massive burst of muse and will sometimes somewhat spam replies and banter. Then I disappear from this blog. Please know this is just me. I come and go every now and again.

Sometimes I just get forgetful or distracted by other things and I may be a bit slow with replies.

Saying this don't be scared to ask about replies after a week because chances are muse is just a bit low.

Shipping is more than welcome here, if you want that of course. It is never a must. If you want to explore every kind of dynamic, I am always down for that.

This blog is multi-verse and multi-ship.

Pre-established relationships are okay with me.

Please tell me about your original characters. I want to know everything about them.

This blog is au and crossover friendly.

If you want a spicy thread with Vash I am totally okay with that too, please know that I would prefer a bit of chemistry before hand.

On that note if there is any spicy writing on sunday I will make sure to tag it: 'lemon tw' and it will be placed beneath a 'read under'.

If there is spicy Sunday musings and aesthetics it will be tagged: 'suggestive tw'

Sunday is for the spicy threads, they will be more prioritised.

Triggers will be tagged: '????? tw'

If you need something tagged just say; 'hey bunny this makes me uncomfortable can you please tag this such and such'.

I am going to be a bit selective and private with this blog.

I don't mind if you reblog psa's or memes from me, just do not reblog things that say '/do not reblog'. That also goes for aesthetics and musings, feel free to reblog those.

Saying that, don't feel pressured to send anything in. Just do it when you want to.

For writing I tend to lean towards long thread, but I mix and match constantly. You do not have to match my length. I write because I enjoy it.

I think I covered most stuff. Don't be afraid to ask if you need anything. I promise I don't bite.

The Future of MT4 and MT5: What Traders Should Know

MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) have been around for a long time, almost unbeatable as platforms for retail traders and algo traders. But with the financial markets moving so quickly, there are many traders and developers asking, —What's next for MT4 and MT5?

Let's take a look at MT4 and MT5 and their situation and future relevance in trading.

MT4 v. MT5: A Quick History

MT4 has been around since 2005 and is very commonly used for forex and CFDs. It is renowned for its straightforward user experience and for the vast ecosystem of indicators and Expert Advisors (EAs) available.

MT5 was released in 2010 and has better specifications, supports more assets, processes trades faster, has multi-threaded backtesting, and allows an economic calendar.

There is no question that MT5 is technically superior—so why does MT4 continue to command the market, with brokers placing more importance on it than MT5, if they even offer MT5?

Why MT4 Will Continue to Thrive in 2025 Extensive Community Support: Thousands of traders and developers are still using the MT4 codebase and ecosystem.

Lightweight Environment: MT4 has a smaller memory footprint in terms of running resources and can be easily implemented on older PCs or in stable environments.

Supported Orders in MetaConnector | TradingView to MT4/MT5

Broker Supported: There are still many brokers working with MT4 as their most preferred version due to so much interest in the platform. But can this last? Reasons Why MT4 and MT5 Will Remain Relevant 1. Extensive International User Base Millions of traders continue to use MT4 and MT5, especially for forex and CFD trading, and brokers globally still continue to reveal both platforms. 2. Sophisticated Automation Options The growth of copy trading and algorithmic trading means that with MT4 and MT5 there are different solutions available for integrating several options: MetaConnector and TradingView to MT5 Copier allow people to automate, even those new to the industry. 3. Broker and 3rd Party Connectivity Currently, although new platforms continue to arrive on the market, MT4 and MT5 remain intimately embedded in systems amongst brokers and will not be replaced overnight. The Challenges Ahead 1. MetaQuotes Licensing Approach MetaQuotes ceased providing MT4 to new brokers in 2022 and will only be providing MT5 in the future. Over time, this will inevitably diminish the availability of MT4, but not at a rapid rate. 2. Regulatory Pressure Regulators in some areas have recently become more stringent around MetaTrader platforms after many prominent scam brokers have exploited the platforms. This has required it to now be temporarily removed from app stores in those areas. Competing Platforms New web-based platforms are arriving, such as cTrader, TradingView, and broker-specific terminals, offering non-proprietary, intuitive design and social options that dynamically update in real time, which is attracting younger traders. Copy Trading / MT5 Future The growth in copy trading continues and is making the MT5 platform alive again, with the integral tools that firms such as Combiz Services Pvt are offering. Copy Trading & the MT5 Platform: An Exciting Future The thrilling rise of copy trading is reinvigorating the MT5 platform. With incredible capabilities existing between companies like Combiz Services Pvt. Ltd., traders can copy trades across MT4, MT5, and from other platforms like TradingView, all without programming. This is a tremendous value added to the MT5 ecosystem since it allows new and experienced traders a great deal of flexibility with available integrations for tools like Master-Child Auto Copy System Broker API Integrations Real-time Trade Copier Techniques The Outlook Here are a few different views on what we may see in the future: Declining MT4: As MetaQuotes continues to withdraw the license for MT4, we may see it decline slowly, but relevant support is foreseen for years. Dominating MT5: With more features and constant updates, MT5 will undoubtedly become the universal MetaTrader platform, maintained by strict regulations. Leading Custom Integrations: With automation products like MetaConnector and amazing companies like Combiz Services Pvt. Ltd., MT5 will futuristically become the nucleus for all of your next-generation algo and copy trading thinking plans. Conclusion While MT4 has had a historical run, the predominance of the future is MT5. Obviously, traders and brokers are slowly transitioning over to MT5. Everyone is seeing the benefits of having more functionality and compliance. That said, both platforms are extremely valuable—especially when used with smart automation tools. So if you are a trader, simply stay ahead of the game and make sure you are using the best tools (including those offered by Combiz Services Pvt Ltd)!

Beyond the Viral Hype: Why Brand Consistency Wins Every Time

In a world where trends vanish in a scroll and audiences chase the next big thing, marketers are often lured by the glitter of virality. Going viral is thrilling—it brings overnight recognition, spikes in engagement, and sometimes even boosts sales. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: virality is fleeting, and without a solid brand foundation, it rarely leads to long-term business success.

Brand consistency, on the other hand, is about building lasting impressions. It's not as flashy, but it’s far more dependable. When done right, it becomes the invisible thread that weaves trust, recognition, and loyalty into every customer interaction. In today’s digital-first environment, brand consistency isn’t just a recommendation—it’s a necessity.

What Is Brand Consistency?

Brand consistency means presenting your brand in the same way across all touchpoints—visually, verbally, and experientially. From the logo on your product packaging to the tone of voice in your Instagram captions, every detail should echo your brand’s identity.

Think of brands like Coca-Cola, Nike, or Apple. Their color palettes, messaging styles, and even their soundtracks (think the Nike swoosh commercial tone) remain uniform—across years and platforms. You recognize them instantly, not because they went viral, but because they’re relentlessly consistent.

Virality Is a Sugar Rush, Not a Diet

Going viral feels like success. And sure, in the short term, it can skyrocket your brand visibility. But here's what often goes wrong:

No Brand Recall: People may remember the meme or video, but not your brand.

No Repeat Engagement: Without an established tone or value proposition, there’s nothing pulling the audience back.

Mixed Messaging: Viral content often pushes boundaries, which may contradict your brand values if not carefully aligned.

According to Forbes, brands that prioritize consistency can expect to see an average increase of 23% in revenue. Compare that to a viral campaign that might spike your metrics for a week and disappear into oblivion.

The Algorithm Is Unpredictable, Your Brand Shouldn’t Be

With the constant evolution of social media algorithms, chasing virality is like trying to shoot a moving target blindfolded. Instagram favors Reels today, but tomorrow it could pivot to something else. TikTok’s “For You Page” is both a gift and a curse. Even X (formerly Twitter) is pushing algorithmic recommendations instead of chronological timelines.

But brand consistency isn’t at the mercy of these changes. It builds over time, becoming immune to algorithmic shifts. When your brand is consistent, people don’t just find you—they look for you.

Emotional Connection: The True ROI of Consistency

Consistency doesn’t just make you recognizable. It makes you trustworthy. When consumers encounter a brand that looks and feels the same across platforms, they’re more likely to form an emotional connection.

A report by Lucidpress found that consistent branding increases customer trust, which in turn improves loyalty and advocacy. In contrast, inconsistent branding causes confusion and erodes credibility.

Trust isn't built through one viral moment—it’s built through showing up with the same values, tone, and message day after day.

Case Study: Duolingo – A Rare Harmony

Take Duolingo, the language learning app. It’s one of the few brands that managed to become a meme without sacrificing brand identity. Their viral TikToks are quirky, offbeat, and humorous—but they never stray from the brand’s voice or purpose: to make language learning fun.

This balance is rare. Most brands that chase virality end up diluting their identity. Duolingo’s success lies in embedding consistency into its content, not abandoning it.

Consistency Supports Multi-Channel Growth

Consumers don’t interact with brands in silos. They might find you on Instagram, check out your website, get an email offer, and finally purchase through an app. If your messaging, visuals, or tone feel disconnected between these touchpoints, you risk breaking the customer journey.

A consistent brand experience ensures:

Seamless transitions between platforms

Stronger recall and recognition

Higher customer satisfaction and trust

Content Isn’t King—Consistent Content Is

Publishing content daily won’t help if your message is scattered. The rise of content marketing has flooded the internet with noise. To stand out, brands must deliver content that’s not just useful but also predictably aligned with their values and tone.

For example, brands like Patagonia and IKEA consistently tie their messaging back to sustainability and accessibility, respectively. Even when the format changes—from blog posts to social videos to newsletters—the message remains rooted in their brand story.

This long-term approach is far more valuable than a one-hit-wonder post with 3 million views and zero conversions.

Latest Trend: Gen Z Demands Authenticity, Not Hype

According to Morning Consult’s 2025 Brand Intelligence Report, Gen Z ranks authenticity and transparency as the most important traits they look for in a brand—more than trendiness or entertainment value.

This shift signals a massive opportunity for marketers. Instead of allocating budgets toward risky viral stunts, investing in cohesive branding yields a higher ROI. Brands like A24, Notion, and Glossier have gained cult followings not because they’re loud, but because they’re consistent and true to their voice.

As Gen Z and younger millennials become the dominant consumer force, the era of “brand as a chameleon” is ending. Now, the brands that win are the ones that stand their ground.

Local Relevance: Rising Demand for Strategic Branding in Mumbai

Interestingly, this shift toward brand consistency is gaining traction in markets like Mumbai, where brands are increasingly investing in content teams, design systems, and narrative frameworks. Unlike the earlier era when marketing in Mumbai was dominated by high-budget ads or celebrity endorsements, today’s landscape is defined by storytelling, brand memory, and value alignment.

Many professionals exploring advanced marketing education are now leaning into this strategy-centric thinking. Enrolling in a Digital Marketing Course can help decode how to develop a strong brand narrative, measure its impact, and balance creativity with strategic clarity.

Conclusion: The Long Game Always Wins

In today’s noisy, fast-paced digital world, it’s tempting to believe that virality is the ultimate goal. But it’s brand consistency that builds real relationships—the kind that lead to loyalty, referrals, and long-term growth.

Mumbai’s digital evolution is a testament to this. As more brands in the city embrace a consistent voice over random spikes in attention, the marketing landscape becomes less about who shouts the loudest and more about who’s trusted the most.

For professionals looking to shape such impactful brands, enrolling in a Digital Marketing Course Mumbai can be a powerful step forward. Because while virality fades, consistency compounds.

How the Nintendo Switch 2 Might Support 16 Simultaneous Instances of GoldenEye 64—For a Monthly Fee

By Dirk N. Tangents, Industry Analyst

As whispers of the Nintendo Switch 2 grow louder, the gaming industry braces itself for what may be the most ambitious leap in handheld-console hybrid history. While specs remain tightly under wraps, several credible leaks point toward a capability both revolutionary and deeply nostalgic: the ability to run 16 simultaneous instances of GoldenEye 64, the legendary 1997 shooter, through emulation.

Let’s break down what this means, what it would cost you, and how it could—if you’ll excuse the expression—change everything.

The Tech Behind the Madness

From a technical standpoint, the rumored Switch 2 is equipped with a custom Nvidia chipset leveraging DLSS 3.5 and ray-traced retracing (not to be confused with ray tracing—it retraces your regrets). With 24GB of unified memory and a rumored 4GHz clock speed, the Switch 2 will allegedly be able to emulate N64 games so efficiently that it can load up to 16 individual instances of GoldenEye 64 at once.

Each instance would run in its own isolated emulation environment, using enhanced AI interpolation to upscale Pierce Brosnan’s polygonal jawline to something between a paper mache sculpture and an unsettling deepfake of Daniel Craig wearing a Brosnan mask.

The practical result? A 4x4 grid of GoldenEye games running simultaneously on one screen, all in glorious 60fps—unless it rains in one of the levels, in which case the system enters Quantum Cough Mode™, dropping to 17fps for "authenticity."

But There’s a Catch: The GoldenPass+ Subscription

As part of Nintendo’s continued efforts to monetize nostalgia, accessing this 16-instance mode will not come cheap. Sources close to people who are not at all close to Nintendo report that the feature will be locked behind the upcoming GoldenPass+ subscription.

For just $12.99 USD/month, GoldenPass+ offers:

Access to the 16x GoldenEye experience, also known as The Wall of Trevelyans

AI-assisted unlocks of all cheats, including DK Mode: Existential Edition

Optional “Slappers Only” Mode IRL, which sends a Nintendo intern to your home to gently slap you each time you try to pick up a weapon

1.2 TB of compressed voice lines from the original game, playable only through the Joy-Con speaker

The ability to say “I was Oddjob before it was banned” on any voice chat, with a digital badge to prove it

Nintendo's Vision for the Future: Retro-Powered Supremacy

The decision to make GoldenEye 64 x16 a premium feature may seem absurd, but it's part of a larger strategy Nintendo is reportedly calling “Retrotization”—a bold plan to pivot into aggressively monetizing their own legacy at such speed that not even a Waluigi NFT could keep up.

Insiders claim the Switch 2 will eventually support up to 64 concurrent instances of Wave Race 64, provided you're willing to store your consciousness in a USB-C flash drive and re-upload yourself each time you boot the system.

Expert Reactions from the Industry

I reached out to several analysts for comment. Most replied with statements like “Stop emailing me” or “Please remove me from your list,” but one veteran industry insider, who asked to remain anonymous but definitely wasn't Geoff Keighley wearing a fake mustache, said:

“This is the next logical step for Nintendo. People are tired of single-instance nostalgia. They want multi-threaded childhood trauma.”

Final Thoughts

If this rumor pans out, Nintendo will have succeeded where all others have failed: creating a device that can run 16 GoldenEyes, charge you monthly to do so, and somehow convince you it’s a good deal.

Whether you're reliving the glory days of screen-cheating on a CRT or trying to make sense of why there's a $30 DLC for “Double Klobbs Mode,” one thing is clear: the Switch 2 isn’t just a console. It’s a lifestyle. Possibly a cult.

Improving Python Threading Strategies For AI/ML Workloads

Python Threading Dilemma Solution Python excels at AI and machine learning. CPython, the computer language's reference implementation and byte-code interpreter, needs intrinsic support for parallel processing and multithreading. The notorious Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) “locks” the CPython interpreter into running on one thread at a time, regardless of the context. NumPy, SciPy, and PyTorch provide multi-core processing using C-based implementations.

Python should be approached differently. Imagine GIL as a thread and vanilla Python as a needle. That needle and thread make a clothing. Although high-grade, it might have been made cheaper without losing quality. Therefore, what if Intel could circumvent that “limiter” by parallelising Python programs with Numba or oneAPI libraries? What if a sewing machine replaces a needle and thread to construct that garment? What if dozens or hundreds of sewing machines manufacture several shirts extremely quickly?

Intel Distribution of Python uses robust modules and tools to optimise Intel architecture instruction sets.

Using oneAPI libraries to reduce Python overheads and accelerate math operations, the Intel distribution gives compute-intensive Python numerical and scientific apps like NumPy, SciPy, and Numba C++-like performance. This helps developers provide their applications with excellent multithreading, vectorisation, and memory management while enabling rapid cluster expansion.One Let's look at Intel's Python parallelism and composability technique and how it helps speed up AI/ML processes. Numpy/SciPy Nested Parallelism The Python libraries NumPy and SciPy were designed for scientific computing and numerical computation.

Exposing parallelism on all software levels, such as by parallelising outermost loops or using functional or pipeline parallelism at the application level, can enable multithreading and parallelism in Python applications. This parallelism can be achieved with Dask, Joblib, and the multiprocessing module mproc (with its ThreadPool class).

An optimised math library like the Intel oneAPI Math Kernel Library helps accelerate Python modules like NumPy and SciPy for data parallelism. The high processing needs of huge data for AI and machine learning require this. Multi-threat oneMKL using Python Threading runtimes. Environment variable MKL_THREADING_LAYER adjusts the threading layer. Nested parallelism occurs when one parallel part calls a function that contains another parallel portion. Sync latencies and serial parts—parts that cannot operate in parallel—are common in NumPy and SciPy programs. Parallelism-within-parallelism reduces or hides these areas.

Numba

Even though they offer extensive mathematical and data-focused accelerations, NumPy and SciPy are defined mathematical instruments accelerated with C-extensions. If a developer wants it as fast as C-extensions, they may need unorthodox math. Numba works well here. Just-In-Time compilers Numba and LLVM. Reduce the performance gap between Python and statically typed languages like C and C++. We support Workqueue, OpenMP, and Intel oneAPI Python Threading Building Blocks. The three built-in Python Threading layers represent these runtimes. New threading layers are added using conda commands (e.g., $ conda install tbb). Only workqueue is automatically installed. Numba_threading_layer sets the threading layer. Remember that there are two ways to select this threading layer: (1) picking a layer that is normally safe under diverse parallel processing, or (2) explicitly specifying the suitable threading layer name (e.g., tbb). For Numba threading layer information, see the official documentation.

Threading Composability

The Python Threading composability of an application or component determines the efficiency of co-existing multi-threaded components. A “perfectly composable” component operates efficiently without affecting other system components. To achieve a fully composable Python Threading system, over-subscription must be prevented by ensuring that no parallel piece of code or component requires a specific number of threads (known as “mandatory” parallelism). The alternative is to provide "optional" parallelism in which a work scheduler chooses which user-level threads components are mapped to and automates task coordination across components and parallel areas. The scheduler uses a single thread-pool to arrange the program's components and libraries, hence its threading model must be more efficient than the built-in high-performance library technique. Efficiency is lost otherwise.

Intel's Parallelism and Composability Strategy

Python Threading composability is easier with oneTBB as the work scheduler. The open-source, cross-platform C++ library oneTBB, which supports threading composability, optional parallelism, and layered parallelism, enables multi-core parallel processing. The oneTBB version available at the time of writing includes an experimental module that provides threading composability across libraries, enabling multi-threaded performance enhancements in Python. Acceleration comes from the scheduler's improved Python Threading allocation. OneTBB replaces Python ThreadPool with Pool. By dynamically replacing or updating objects at runtime, monkey patching keeps the thread pool active across modules without code changes. OneTBB also substitutes oneMKL by activating its Python Threading layer, which automates composable parallelism using NumPy and SciPy calls.

Nested parallelism can improve performance, as seen in the following composability example on a system with MKL-enabled NumPy, TBB, and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) modules and IPython kernels. IPython's command shell interface allows interactive computing in multiple programming languages. The demo was ran in Jupyter Notebook to compare performance quantitatively.

If the kernel is changed in the Jupyter menu, the preceding cell must be run again to construct the ThreadPool and deliver the runtime results below.

With the default Python kernel, the following code runs for all three trials:

This method can find matrix eigenvalues with the default Python kernel. Activating the Python-m SMP kernel improves runtime by an order of magnitude. The Python-m TBB kernel boosts even more.

For this composability example, OneTBB's dynamic task scheduler performs best because it manages code where the innermost parallel sections cannot completely leverage the system's CPU and where work may vary. SMP is still useful, however it works best when workloads are evenly divided and outermost workers have similar loads.

Conclusion

In conclusion, multithreading speeds AI/ML operations. Python AI and machine learning apps can be optimised in several ways. Multithreading and multiprocessing will be crucial to pushing AI/ML software development workflows.
