By giving companies access to your Twitter stream, tweeters are compensated for each advertisement they accept. The only thing tweeters need to do is write a tweet based on some simple...

Posted by Admin A report from  International Data Corporation and McKinsey Global Institute  suggests that  employees spend 28% of their work time reading and answering emails  that l owers down their productivity to around 25% . Email has become a central communication tool for every organization and replacing it is hard, but not impossible. There are certain drawbacks of email that has forced employers to think of  possible new solutions that are effective enough to replace emails.  Email lacks transparency, they can be ignored or forgotten, they do not require instant action, the average response time of an email is huge and they lack real time collaboration features. Global information-technology service provider  Atos , headquartered in France, was able to reduce email by 64% through an internal collaboration system that functions like a wiki, with members of a community — which might be based on a project, client, or topic — ed...

PROPHESIES FOR 2016 by Dr. Chris Okafor (Dec. 31, 2015) 1. A more deadly sexually transmitted disease worse than HIV AIDS has been released from the kingdom of darkness. We need to be very prayerful and careful. 2. I see more Disasters taking place this year. But God will preserve His children. 3. America and Europe must pray fervently in this year.

The Zika virus is carried by mosquitoes and people, but usually spread by mosquitoes. Zika virus is transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito from the  Aedes  genus, mainly Aedes aegypti  in tropical regions. This is the same mosquito that transmits dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever. – A mosquito can give it to you and then another mosquito could get it from you — and that second mosquito could pass it on to others. – In adults, the virus can cause a mild rash and a slight fever—but evidence suggests that if a pregnant woman is infected, her child could be born with a devastating birth defect: a shrunken head and brain, called microcephaly. – Currently, the Zika virus is circulating in more than 20 countries, and can be found in the following locations: Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, Cape Verde, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras,...
