This is just a quick recap of the info we have regarding Sabo's power thanks to the Reverie.
Morley and Karasu held off a conditioned Ryokugyu and a conditioned, likely holding back Fujitora in two respective 1v1s. From the perspective we get from 1082 onwards with the scene with Dragon, the dialogue between Sabo and Karasu, and simpler things like Sabo's position in the army and the drawing of the vice captains (with Sabo jumping over people like Ivankov), we can assume that Sabo > Karasu/Morley.
So sure, he didn't stall two admirals alone or injured Fujitora like everyone thought before we saw the events at Reverie, but it's still easy to take a conclusion that Sabo might very well be closing in on Admiral level from the information we have.
Now, onto the latest chapter, two things to notice. One, Sabo isn't detected by Gorosei nor Imu. This isn't the biggest feat ever since neither was fucking WAPOL, so clearly this was made for the sake of narrative, and you can make arguments like "they had their observation haki turned off", which is a faulty argument since people like Zoro use observation while sleeping, but, let's just move on. Count this as a feat for the Wapol agenda.
Second, more obvious, is Sabo getting hit by Imu's arrow and losing 90% HP. This seems like an antifeat, but, I wanna bring a similar situation up to compare. Shanks, another character that's easily between the current top tiers, one-shots Kidd. Kidd gets covered by Killer, someone easy to argue in the YC2 range. He faints and Killer does with him. Sabo gets attacked by Imu, along with Cobra, basically a pedestrian. Sabo gets pierced first so Cobra is a non-factor for Sabo's defense here. Sabo managed to stay on his feet and is able to run away, not just from Imu himself, but from other 5 characters that we can easily assume are somewhere in the top tier range (unless you really want to downplay them based on Kizaru 'escorting' Saturn).
Conclusion: Sabo only caught Ws from this arc. We're not ready for Flame Himperor Sa D Bo to beat Akainu on the final war.

LGBT community, it's time to once again protest pinkwashing. Unscrupulous individuals piggybacking off your community to try and earn reputation/credibility in the media.

Just gonna drop some thoughts while the movie is still freshish.
I feel this movie has some potentially good ideas that ultimately fell flat.

• The fights in the dark were bad. Dunno if it was due to the theater or not but those felt bad as you can barely make out what's happening. I dont care if the CGI isn't the most real, if it can carry the animator's creative ideas, id rather see bad cgi in a light setting than cgi in "realistically dark settings". The wasp rooftop fights looked like they were onto some creative ideas and it caught my interest but it was hindered by a darkened setting. The tunnel scene where they first team up was the big offender: 1 and 2 finally team up and i can't tell who the bad guy and good guy or what theyre doing to the other. You WANT to see the first dance not listen to it. I hoped the explosions would cast lingering lights but nope, back to Asmr rider.

-Music felt inoffensive but as a result kind of a waste. It didn't hurt but the past Shin movies showed how it can help elevate the movie. At least give the girl a musical theme to reinforce her presence. It would make her death/final conversation a little more weighty.
-Really wanted motorcycle to be the cool non speaking third wheel buddy. It was following them earlier so I assumed it was gonna be the awkward sentient furniture friend but twas not to be like battle hopper. Would have made its sacrifice a little sadder too.
-Establishing the threat of shocker would have better established stakes in the story. To preach happiness for all people was a very propaganda esque pitch that sounded like an interesting trap that would lure the vulnerable masses and i was interested to see how that happened. But there wasn't much of that which was disappointing, hand waved to unseen virus or unseen brain wave machine. All tell, no show.
-The Scorpion lady. They literally added her so they'd have an excuse to have wasp killed by government guys and paint them as morally grey guys but never really explore the morally grey guys. They could have just had wasp die because she considered joining her friend on the other side but dying from shocker's anti betrayal thingy. Daughter would still get her emotional arc, the scorpion lady could get written out, and more time could be given for main characters or even side characters to be better fleshed out.
-The way that it handled Hongo's motivation towards the end in particular felt like they skimmed over a very important phase for his story. After daughter dies, he has a moment where he finally confronts his crisis of faith: where he reveals his own thoughts on the death of his father and how he even considered if his father made the wrong choice trying to be kind. That moment was a good because it felt like he was going into the final battle unsure of what he wanted and with much conflict within himself, especially since daughter's death made things personal. He too could willingly choose to the the darker path.
But he offhandedly kills the tension by denouncing revenge before leaving, which I feel lowered the stake for the final battle and wasted an opportunity to give the final boss a tiny bit of character.
The final fight attempts to draw both Hongo and boss as kindred spirits: kind guys who ultimately resort to less than kind methods to resolve conflict. Having Hongo go into that fight unsure of if he was going to become twisted and bitter like the brother or remain the gentle but fragile person the daughter liked would have been good to show his internal struggles and eventual growth to being the big good. Him facing similar internal conflicts as the brother but choosing the harder but kinder path would elevate not just him but the villain by showing the villain that he too had the potential for good like Hongo had he opened up to his sister more. That would have made the bad guy's realization and last minute redeption feel more logical and better earned. It would make Hongo feel he finally achieved true warrior status by truly choosing not to punch someone to death despite still feeling a bit of the possibility.
Again, this movie had ideas and scenes that could have been more, many that i kinda liked (like the tunnel filmed as if they were walking in the belly of a beast) but many elements felt like an awkardly made meal that was served before it was inspected. The best thing was the small side of No.2.

​
In recent years, Guo Wengui's shamelessness has continuously refreshed the public's perception of liars. Among those who supported Guo, those who were still sane became sober, while the distorted views of the remnants of the Ant Gang made the melon eaters amazed. They believed in the lies full of loopholes, turned a deaf ear to the obvious truth, and were immersed in Guo Wengui's lies and could not wake up. Guo Wengui's lies are the laughingstock of the public, but they are the drugs that he and the little ants rely on to survive and are crazy about. If Guo Wengui’s Himalaya is a lunatic asylum, then congratulations Guo Wengui and the Ant Gang have reached the end ahead of schedule.
Drugs of Lies - the Rich and Rich
The upper-class dignitaries are the identity that Guo Wengui has been seeking for, an indispensable part of the Whistleblower Revolution, and an important drug to lure little ants. Whenever the lies were poked at a terrible level, he would fantasize about mysterious events and people to raise his status. The former League of Nations, old leaders, Secret Service, mysterious meetings, global anti-CCP alliance organizations, large arms dealers, former heads of state, and future high-level U.S. political circles. The little ants also especially like this set, and are complacent about Guo Wengui's "independent consultant". As for the businessmen interfering in politics in the story, the president's cross-party election of staff, and the future leader not worrying about the mid-term elections but meddling in the affairs of other countries at critical moments, which are contrary to common sense, the little ants ignore it. Guo Wengui's rich and powerful stories that are only for the effect and disregard common sense can indeed make the brainless ants who are greedy for vanity lose their minds, but this is also a mirage of self-deception on the road to nowhere.
Drugs of Lies – Conspiracy
Guo Wengui saw that the story of the rich and powerful was smashed to pieces, so he immediately changed his dressing and spread fake news. He once created a veil of conspiracy for the Chongqing bus crash into the river. The cause of the accident is evidenced by the surveillance video of the black box. The entire incident process was traced in detail and complete. Powerful netizens also uncovered the identities of the female passenger and the driver. This is indeed a tragedy, but it is obvious that it has absolutely nothing to do with the conspiracy. But Guo Wengui wanted to make use of the topic to make up the taste of conspiracy, and the little ants who like conspiracy really conjectured various questions maliciously out of nothing. This is all kinds of doubts about events with solid evidence and clear facts. They have completely lost their pursuit of the truth. As long as there is a conspiracy, the truth is completely unimportant. Guo Wengui conspired for the sake of conspiracies, which really excited the little ants who love conspiracies, but made the public more aware of the true face of the so-called Whistleblower Revolution, which is called democracy but is actually a farce.
Lies Drugs - Money
Property is frozen, debts are high, and stocks are losing money again and again. Guo Wengui's property is as precarious as the Whistleblower Movement, but for the sake of the remaining Ant Gang, Guo Wengui can only bite the bullet and show off his wealth. "Made in Vietnam" shirts could not be given away, and the shoddy ties were slapped and ridiculed. As a last resort, Guo Wengui made up a professional photographer to show off, and he did not forget to send a few photos as proof. The little ant with golden eyes can only see Guo Wengui's false display of wealth, but he cannot see his ignorance of global economic trends. His huge wealth comes from the fact that crime ends in law. In reality, he will never be lucky enough to become a financial predator who berates Fang Qiu again. Guo Wengui's flaunting of his wealth can only attract brainless little ants to flock to him, but it cannot cover up his financial crisis.
Guo Wengui's revelations were for political asylum. If there is no information to reveal, he can only rely on lies to maintain his political asylum. The political asylum is out of reach, but the lies have become Guo Wengui's spiritual drug to get by and win over ant colonies. But lies cannot become reality, and punishment will eventually come. The future will come, and Guo Wengui will surely reap the consequences.

Tiktok: Changes Affecting Creators & Advertisers

Tiktok made major changes to its platform. With the launch of their new creator fund “creativity program beta”. They have encouraged the top 4% of creators to push more long-form content.
And this push is also delivering results for Top Advertisers in the space. This fund was launched alongside a new Tiktok Ad format, PulsePremiere. These Ads currently in beta are shown after a trending piece of content.
For Music Marketers & Artists, Tiktok launched #newmusic to support upcoming artists.
And after that boom, we got smashed with the TikTok US state ban in Montana. There is a huge controversy around it but this news isn’t affecting marketing spend.
Executional Angles 🎬
Tiktok’s Ad platform and creator marketplace are getting better. The updates aren’t public. I have tracked a few cheeky practices from the Tiktok product team to gather more user data and better their Ad platform. Expect better location-based targeting in the upcoming few months.
For organic, With the new creator fund. Many long-form content creators are seeing an engagement hike for their content. You can experiment with long-form content as a business to connect longer with the audience.
And a nice sign is TikTok is now pushing more content from “people you follow” to the For You page. As mentioned in my Tiktok marketing post, this is something new and encouraging for brands.
Upcoming: Tiktok is testing an AI Chatbot similar to snapchat. This launch will help them keep users more engaged.

Pinterest: Affecting Organic Content

In April, Pinterest got into huge issues with user safety on the platform because many users were targeting young audiences. After that Pinterest made a few changes and at the beginning of May, launched their transparency report showcasing how they are filtering harmful content.
A great callout here is “Gen-Z is on Pinterest”. Every single platform mentions that they have Gen-Z users on their apps to attract advertisers. But data from different research shows that Pinterest has a growing Gen-Z user base, especially for diverse and Female audiences.
Bring back to the latest content ranking system and algorithm changes to Pinterest. Earlier this week, I shared this blog post from the Pinterest engineering team about the latest updates to the platform.
Executional Breakdown of Algorithm
First of all, how the Pinterest algorithm ranks content is very simple and it's all based on user interactivity.
All different engaging elements like comments, save, share, and like give the content system a signal to rank your content for relevant topics. As revealed by their engineering team in this post and by the previous product manager at Pinterest on Lenny’s podcast.
The new changes to Pinterest are very simple:
Diversifying your content, Pinterest is making changes to the content system to make sure the content it ranks on the app isn’t too sensitive toward a demographic. That is why they want Pinterest businesses and creators to diversify their Pinterest boards and content strategy.
This affects niches like Beauty, Fashion, and other lifestyle-related brands. Don’t try to sell the idea of clear skin or a perfect body shape. Pinterest is looking to provide a better and healthy space for young audiences.
The second change is “keyword search”. In the blog post, there are mentions that the algorithm will try to show more of the content that includes identical keywords & sentence structure to “user search queries”. To promote more relevancy and better content to users.
These are the main changes, I will share more on Pinterest in my upcoming blogs to help you overall with Pinterest marketing.
Platform Changes: Pinterest users can now add links to every single Posting format. And added a new platform analytics feature for better insights.

Twitter: Regaining Advertiser Trust & Bots

With the new Twitter CEO coming in, One of the Top Advertisers mentioned their comeback to advertise on the Bird app. But mid-micro advertisers are still not loving the Ad platform.
Besides advertising, Twitter continues to launch new services and features for Blue subscribers. And decreasing creator monetization requirements, increasing the video upload limit to 2 hours. The other focus is on attracting more advertisers to the platform.
A lot going on forTwitter. But the biggest issue is that Bot spam is at its peak, removing bots was one of the biggest promises made by ElonMusk. Still not delivered.
I have my fingers crossed for June.
Execution Considerations:
Twitter is getting better at recommending relevant tweets under the original tweets you read. And as you know it is mentioned on Github that the Twitter connection network plays a huge role in getting content discovered.
I recommend refining your network and networking with the right audiences. Kinda old advice but the platform is testing new prompts related to this. That is why you should click on it.

Agencies & Brands: Who got the best campaign?

Starting with the world's biggest marketing agency will get even bigger with a new partnership with Nvidia. WPP is partnering with Nvidia to use its AI technology to level up its campaigns. Link!
Shorty Awards took place in May and here is the full list of winners. Have a look and get inspired for next year.
VCCP, a London-based creative agency, is launching an AI-creative agency. The usage of generative AI is increasing very fast and adaptation is the key now. Link!
This month was filled with brand and marketing events. I found a curated list of brand marketing events that took place in May. Link!
The New Bud Light is “The North Face”. The new campaign featuring a drag queen is catching negative attention like Budlight. Link!
Jaskaran: I started tracking agency news for the newsletter last week, for future monthly recaps you will find more and better recaps.

Instagram: Targeted Advertising!

Believe it or not. Meta is moving fast with Instagram now. Tiktok announced their search ads will roll out slowly to marketers, and last week Meta came in clutch and announced “Instagram search Ads”. You can access them through the Instagram marketing API. Link!
Besides that Instagram made a huge spark as the information about a new Twitter viral came up. Meta is expected to launch a new decentralized Twitter-like app for their users in June. Many are excited about it. It could be a great opportunity for businesses as many find IG very hard to scale.
Decentralized means your followers can follow you on the new app with one click. This app can help you reach more existing followers on IG & FB.
Other than these two, there was a list of updates including a new creator fund announcement. But not much impacting your organic growth.

PPC: New Policies Kicking In

For the second half of 2023, Advertisers in the UK & EU need compliance with these new Google Ad requirements. Link!
Google and Walmart both took steps to make media buying and Ad creative creation easier. You can read here about Google’s new approach to media buying and how Walmart here is trying to help businesses with Ad creatives.
Microsoft is moving fast with Bing Chat Advertising, You can now use Chat Ads API to integrate ads within Bing AI. Link!
There were a few other marketing product updates for Microsoft in terms of improving targeting and utilizing AI. One of my favorites is the recent UET update to their analytics dashboard.
For more information, I recommend revisiting our last emails & read this recent Google marketing live recap.

Meta: Data Limitations & AI for Marketers

Meta is stuck. Yes, because they have developed one of the best AI languages and structures to benefit marketers. For example, this new engineering blog showcasing its new AI content structure is golden. Link!
At the same time, Meta is having huge issues in the EU & UK with their data usage. The platform Received a $1.2B fine and now UK representatives are limiting data usage for Meta. Good for privacy but points to a huge problem for paid media marketers.
Meaning Meta’s future is bright due to AI research & frameworks but data issues are like close friends showing up every single day.
Other than this, Meta is launching AI tools to help marketers create better Ad creatives. Link!
In April, Meta increased its involvement in AI to push organic content and in May was focused on utilizing AI for paid media offerings.
Facebook: New Lead generation forms features and a few updates to Facebook reels were key product updates.
WhatsApp: New Updates to WhatsApp Chat features with the addition of Chat Lock, sharing with captions & new polls feature.

SEO: It's all changed but…

With multiple announcements, Google search page structure & how content is ranked will be changing. The new interface is expected to prefer AI-generated results but for June. This new feature is opt-in, users on the desktop can choose to get AI results within a search. Changing their Google page experience.
Many SEOs are predicting a 70-80% traffic drop in the upcoming months. But many experienced SEOs believe changes are good and the traffic for the future will be more quality-oriented.
These insights linked below are from the best SEOs and their opinions on recent search engine marketing changes.

• 11 Realizations from testing search generative experience. Link!
• Aleyda Solis on new Google Changes. Link!
• The AI takeover of Google Search. Verge

The technical SEO world is going through many changes. My advice is to keep your focus on the content strategy part for a while. And improve that!

Youtube: New Ad Formats & Algorithm

After doing $40B in revenue last year. The platform announced new Ad formats at IAB Newsfront. With the launch of 30-second unskippable Ads on Connected TV.
Where Youtube is headed with Unskippable Ads is the future of online movie & content streaming. Either platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and other services have to give up a share of revenue. Or they need to go back to unskippable Connected TV Ads format to pay the writers.
Coming back to Youtube, Every week on their “creator insider” channel they announce various new updates. The highlight was the recent update of community post creation for all users.
Partnering with Influencers and using community posts to target core audiences is one of the best strategies based on this new update.

Marketing Research: What Changed?

• Don’t stress out about AI. More than 40% of Americans have never heard of ChatGPT. And only 14% have tried it. (PewResearch)
• Watch out for Podcast Ads, the Ad spend on podcasts is increasing and revenue is up 26% YoY. (IAB)

LinkedIn: Continued Organic Growth

As the round of layoffs is not stopping, LinkedIn is having its best time. The in-app activity continues to increase and now the platform has 930 million monthly active users, closing in on the 1 billion mark very soon.
LinkedIn is embracing AI in May with new AI features to help with messaging, job descriptions, and other hiring processes.
All that growth doesn’t mean everything is great. As the platform laid off 700 employees this month.
Overall, LinkedIn is doing good and viewers are loving their new marketing campaign. Watch!

Reddit: E-commerce World

I wrote about this in my updated social media trends post. Reddit is working on various new e-commerce features.
While many believe that the nature of Reddit doesn’t fit e-commerce offerings. Many product reviews and conversations take place on Reddit and users get the ability to integrate products from other businesses within the content. It could work very well.
Using these features to self-promote is impossible but with the right execution. It can do a charm.
Others: Reddit is going through a bot followers scam.

Mini-Bites: Snapchat, Airbnb & Others

• Airbnb did the social listening well to steal the attention of an influencer’s audience. (Business Insider)

Hi, Electric beings! While being an EU supporter, I still struggle to understand what actually happened during the Younger Dryas cataclysm. From the EU advocates I hear YD happened due to the earth changing the body it is orbiting - from Proto-Saturn, it went to orbit the Sun (it’s wild if true, cos earth could easily find different orbit, unsuited for life as we know it). But then, Ben Davidson with his Suspicious0bserververes community (more of a Plasma Cosmology supporter rather than full EU) over Youtube share compelling evidence for Solar Micronova cycles. Is there any in-depth comparison of both theories & where does your mind go with these two scenarios for the YD?

Running a successful business in today’s world can be quite the challenge. What could really help is Organization.
“In business, organization is an absolute necessity, not an alternative.”

• Larry Burkett

Organizing all the many components of your business into a unified system is what could make all the difference to your business. SAP ERP Software does just that!

What Is SAP ERP?

Systems Applications and Products in Data Processing, originally called System Analysis Program Development, is a large multinational enterprise resource planning (ERP) software vendor founded in 1972. It integrates and stores common information while ensuring that data flows deftly from one SAP ERP component to another without the need for unnecessary data interference.
SAP is currently #1 in the ERP software in the market and houses hundreds of fully integrated modules overlaying various aspects of business management. Each of these modules focuses on different essential business functions, such as human capital management, production planning, materials management, finance and accounting, project system, sales and distribution, plant maintenance, and finally quality management.

SAP’s Three-Tier Client-Server Framework

SAP ERP is generally brought into action in a three-tier client-server framework consisting of the presentation tier, the application tier, and the database tier.

• The presentation tier is in charge of the SAP graphical user interface and is the main point of communication between the user and ERP software.
• The application tier is the crux of the ERP and is responsible for all the internal essential processes and functions including monitoring access to the database and communicating with other applications.
• The database tier plays the role of a storage unit and preserves records of transactions and other important data.

Now that we are familiar with what SAP ERP is and how it works, let us take a look into how we can utilize it.

What Are The Uses Of SAP ERP Software?

SAP is mostly used by companies for information flow, effective data processing, and business process management and operation solutions. It shines brightest in the fields of Finance, Human Resources, Sales and Distribution, Programming, Warehouse Management, and Cloud Technology. SAP also performs exceptionally in handling information for organizations.
Accounting And Finance
SAP ERP manages your company’s financial transactions regardless of whether it is a small business or a large-scale one. It can consistently redefine the real-time financial status of your organization and connects it with other SAP modules such as sales and distribution, payroll, and human resources.
Supply Chain Management
The SAP ERP module in charge of supply chain management allows users to fabricate and manage a sustainable supply chain. It helps users effortlessly communicate with their suppliers, customers, and business partners. Due to this cohesive intelligent system, tasks like planning your production and assessing demand fluctuation become easier.
Human Resource Management
With the help of SAP, your HR department will function with increased efficiency. SAP’s module merges and integrates various HR-related processes such as payroll, tracking employee performance, handling compensations, and many others.
Material Management
SAP’s module responsible for material management can help users control vital aspects of material management and production while offering assistance in managing different types of buying processes. A few of the common uses of this SAP module are consumption-based planning, purchasing, and inventory management.
Sales And Distribution
This module is specifically designed to overlook all transactions and processes related to sales and distribution. With this module, users can handle inquiries, quotations, transportation, billing, pricing, and other tasks.
The above-mentioned uses of SAP ERP barely scratch the surface of what this software is truly capable of accomplishing.

Benefits Of Implementing SAP ERP Software Into Your Business

In comparison to its competitors, SAP is known to be much more flexible. This makes it a viable option to companies of any industry or size. SAP has also proven to provide booming benefits to its users, eight of which are listed below:
Efficiency Of Business
The ERP system will eradicate repetitive tasks and take it off the employee’s hands, allowing them to focus their energy and concentration on more important tasks. It performs mundane tasks with a precision and efficiency that enhances day-to-day operations of the company and reduces errors and costs significantly.
Data Security
Data security is a growing concern in modern business as cyber security breaches and hacks increases drastically with the growth of technology. For this reason, the SAP ERP system is built to improve data security by providing limited access to relevant information through built-in security systems and firewalls. On the other hand, data is consistently backed up and centralized to prevent any failure that may lead to loss of information.
Scalability
Scalability is a crucial feature that allows users to adjust their data processing system as their company expands and contracts. Whether they are exploring a new market field or simply expanding their customer base, SAP software eases the transition ensuring that businesses have the flexibility they need. Users can create a simple integration and seamlessly scale up according to their industry specifications with the help of SAP.
Reduced Costs
As seen time and time again, SAP ERP has the ability to cut costs for the company on a large scale due to its features of automation, centralization, and minimization of administration and operation expenses. When repetitive tasks are assigned to an SAP system, fewer complications arise, allowing businesses to operate more deftly.
Improved Data Management
Seeing as Data Management is the primary reason why businesses choose to implement SAP, it more than holds its end of the deal. SAP ERP systems organize and store all of a company’s scattered data in a single location. This makes data easily accessible and quickly reviewable. ERP also wields a level of automation that enables staff members throughout the business to view shared data without the need to retain manual records.
Customer Service
Maintaining customer satisfaction alongside managing your sales and inventory effectively can be a taxing job, especially when your customer and inventory data are stored on separate systems. When you implement ERP systems your client information is centralized and streamlined giving your sales reps a good footing to build quality relationships with the clients. It also offers a quicker traceable feature.
Customizable
One of the flashiest features of SAP ERP is its high customizability. It can be bent and shaped according to a business’ requirements all the way down to its specific needs. It gives the business the liberty to choose the components it needs and discard the rest. Its adaptable nature means it is easy for employees to comprehend and utilize. The system is available on almost all electronic gadgets making it available to employees or management to use from anywhere.
Analysis And Forecasting
Accurate analysis and reporting can be a grueling task for employees. By implementing an SAP ERP system, information risk is eliminated as there is no duplication of data. The system provides instantaneous reports of every task that takes place in an organization. It also offers risk assessment with accurate performance reports.
The above-mentioned are only a few important benefits of implementing the SAP ERP system into your business. Other advantages of this technology include improved collaboration, better planning and reporting, innovative technology, upgraded transparency, excessive mobility, and many more.

Advantages Of SAP ERP Software

Aside from the benefits that companies gain from SAP ERP, here are a few general advantages of implementing this software:

• The SAP software is available to all businesses from multinational companies to smaller retailers.
• It increases productivity on a large scale due to automation and monitoring.
• It provides efficient control over all departments of the company, reducing time and resources spent.
• Its features of automation and traceable path make it cost-efficient in the long run.
• It offers increased security of internal data.
• Due to its efficiency in information flow, it provides better communication and relations between departments.
• It gives a little something to everyone. Along with the company, even the customers can reap the benefits of SAP ERP software. When a business relies on SAP to unify and organize all customer information, employees can concentrate more on building loyalty with customers through personalized interactions.
• Lastly, it is an open-source system. This means that through specialized SAP modules, it can be precisely customized to the preferences of each business and department.

SAP ERP software implementation offers a multitude of benefits to your business. By implementing SAP ERP, you can streamline operations, increase productivity, and enhance decision-making. It facilitates effective resource allocation, cost savings, and improved customer satisfaction. With its scalability and integration capabilities, SAP ERP empowers your business to adapt to market changes and maintain a competitive edge. Embracing SAP ERP enables operational excellence and sustainable growth, making it a transformative solution for your organization.

HOA homeowner with a need for a stealth cb antenna on a small lot. I am a radio novice, and am still learning so please bear with me.
Having watched a bunch of youtube videos on stealth/HOA antennas, I cannot recall any of them being for cb antennas, only ham etc.
I am hoping someone can save me some time and money in my experimenting.
This is my idea, please tell me if it would work and if not how to change it to make it work.
I like the flower pot idea with a 3-4' cast iron pipe in concrete for the base of the antenna.
For the antenna itself, something like a Workman Saturn or other ngp mounted on a joint of pvc pipe, then painted and camouflaged with plastic vine/leaves/flowers.
Another idea that intrigues me, the rain gutters. Would a rain gutter antenna match up to the freq needed for cb?
If you have any good ideas, please share, looking to set up a base station in the garage. Thanks!

Hi all, I am wondering about what to do in the situation that I am a US citizen here in Germany and I was let go from my job, due to lack of sufficient business, on Tuesday at 17:30. Yesterday, I went to the Agentur für Arbeit and have signed up to receive ALG1 and also done all of the relevant Arbeitslosmeldungen and Arbeitssuchenmeldungen both in person and via phone, and everything went relatively smoothly.
All the information I see online about being laid off centers on getting Arbeitslosengeld, which I have now already done. Does anyone know what I should do about the Ausländerbehörde? I am trying to contact them today, which is of course always a hit or miss if they will even answer the phone or email, and you cannot walk in without an appointment to my knowledge. I was on a normal work permit-resident permit (not Blue Card), that was valid with my job until September 2026. Do I need to convert this now into a Job Seeker visa or something for the next few months? Or was it sufficient to notify the Agentur für Arbeit about the changes in my employment status?
Thanks for the help!

Racism is nowadays a big topic. However for myself, I think I never was the victim of racism. There were of course situations in which I was a victim, in particular back in school, but that was more about not being able to stand up for myself imo. There were also situations in my life where I thought it's because racism, but in hindsight it turned out to have very different reasons. For example badly written CVs and cover letters for job applications. Or when I grew up in a german village, I thought the villagers are racist. Turned out they hate every "outsider", even ethnic germans who moved in from other cities.
I read about a scientific study which says that the more social status you have, the more you recognize racism. For me the opposite seemed to be true. Is my perception distorted? (lol)
What are your experiences? How do you perceive the "host country"?

I work for a medium-sized company and recently got a call from another company about the employment status of a current employee.
I know the member of staff was very unhappy and I have always been open to my team that if they are unhappy, there is no harm in looking for another job that makes them happy.
I answered truthfully and confirmed that she is still employed with our company. She resigned with immediate effect as of today and is now complaining that she has been sabotaged.
I feel that she should have been upfront with her potential new employer and also upfront with me. Did I make a bad decision as a manager?
