Corruption In The South African Government and SAPS

Without any surveys being done to display any type of corruption being done by the Local and National Governments, corruption is the main topic that will ring when it comes the governments of most developing African countries  With Nigeria mainly seen as the most corrupt country in the African continent , this had made many investors not to see Nigeria as a  country to which business can be done with and on the other hand is South Africa which is most known for it recent bribes to FIFA to get votes in favour of hosting the 2010 FIFA world cup which made the FIFA president to resign after the breakage of the news which stated that the FBI were doing investigations in they have suspected Sepp Blatter as the man behind the corrupt FIFA and South Africa.

The News of corruption in the Government are not something new concerning South Africa because in 2014 it was confirmed that over $25 M was spent by the South African government in renovations which were done on one of the president Jacob Zuma properties who has been found responsible for many corruption cases which were done under the South African government.
Earlier before 2008 was a National Security which were offered by the  Scorpions which was an Agency which was similar to the FBI was forced by the South African government to shutdown after having to dispose the Corruption which was done by some of the Government Top officials.

The Corrupt SAPS
Corruption is at a greatest peak mostly on the countries government mostly, when looking with the  public eye as done by News 24 it was confirmed that 83 percent of the South African citizens believe that the South African Police Service is one of the biggest corrupt government services which are controlled in favour of the top government authorities as by the year 2013 South Africa was counted to be among the 36 top corrupt countries according to the Global Corruption Barometer 2013 which has made the Image of the country a complete ruin, As most of the hardworking Citizens have been forced to join into the corruption of the government for them to achieve higher positions offered by the government.

SAPS Mangement Bribery and Fraud

According to the investigations we have done with some anonymous members of the South African Police Service, according to the survey we have done with this members we have received reports that the SAPS is not facing corruption only at the public but corruption is done inside the law enforcement system whereby they have confirmed that the SAPS under the Uthungulu district is facing challenges with promotion of Local SAPS members, these member have confirmed that in the past three years there hasn't been any possible job promotions which have been given to the local members.

It has by some of the complaints have drawn Ajaxsurf to the issue behind the bribery that happens in the Durban SAPS as there have been recent complaints done by the loyal South African Police Service members as there has been reports of a certain posts into being
When Looking at the Richards bay and Empangeni Police service there has been complaints done by highly experienced members of the SAPS confirming that after passing the interview very well, it would lately be found that the points which were earned get to be changed by unknown members of the South African Police Service.

The Overpowered Public Protector
It is true that not all of the South African government members are corrupt as we have recently seen other politican parties trying to stand up to fight for freedom against a corrupt state, Among the great South African anti-fraud activist is Thuli Madonsela the National Public protector and Helen Zille of the Democratic Alliance. These two ladies have been a great impact in the country as they have contributed a lot into fighting the corruption which is in the country, but every point that they raised by these South Africans is usually

The so called "Consitution"
The constitution is known as the highest law of the country but  due to the recent high levels of corruption in the Current Government, corruption has made the constitution powerless but just an alternate law of the country.

Liberty is the hope of Many Nationals
Liberty has been a hope because there is no Justice in the government of the country as almost everything that is done by the government is corrupted whereby great politicians have been found guilty of a number of crimes but the so called "law enforcement" could not stand in Defence of the constitution.

The FIFA and the FBI expose The Corrupt South African Government
Just as the government has also been exposed by the United States of America from it investigations which were done concerning the 2010 FIFA worldcup $10m bribe which was done by the south African government to secure the 2010 World Cup.

Please feel free to submit any possible fraud that is happening in the Government to Corruption watch or the National Public Protector to help bring justice into the South African government. These two anti-corruption services are not under the government.

Blogger and Google Photos - what's changed, and what hasn't (yet)

This article gives a brief introduction to Google Photos, and how it relates to both Blogger and Google+ Photos.




Google's recent announcement of Google Photos opens the door for Blogger to make some improvements to how it works with pictures.

Why? Well Google+Photos simply wasn't a way forward.   Too many Blogger users chose not to "upgrade" their Google accounts to Google+ accounts, so it wasn't possible for Blogger to force Google+ features on everyone. And that was even after they removed the rule about one G+ account per person, and allowed Google+ Pages to be turned into stand alone accounts with their own passwords.

However Google Photos is basically Google+ Photos, without the need to have a "plus" account, and with some other nice features, like

  • Free picture and video storage (any number of pictures, provided they aren't "too big"), 
  • Image recognition and search
  • Sorting pictures by date, but giving options for you to group them into albums

Read more about these Google Photos options here.  

This means it will be possible for Google to replace Picasa-web-albums features with Google Photos features at some time in the future, even if they're not ready to do this yet.


What's changed - and what hasn't (yet)?

So far, I haven't noticed any changes to the photo-upload or image-choice features in Blogger.

There's still an upload option, there's still a tab to choose photos from Picasa and one for your phone - and I don't know what the criteria for showing photos in the latter tab is, but it's certainly not listing all the photos I've taken from my phone.




I am expecting they will change to become more Google-Photos-esque, sooner or later.

But for now, though, not that much has changed.

Your Google account still only has one collection of pictures.

Your pictures may be photographs you have taken or other image files that you have created and uploaded (eg like the thumbnail picture that I constructed for this post).

As well as the various mobile phone applications (official ones for iOS and Android, unofficial ones from various other companies), there is now one more (to make six) pieces of desktop software or websites from Google that you can use to manage (aspects of) your picture collection:

Note:   Even though you only have one photo collection, each tool may need to build it's own "index" (or whatever it calls it) to work with your photos.  Making all your photos (especially the historic ones) available in each tool might take a while to do: For example, not all my photos are visible on Drive yet: when I scroll to the bottom of the display I get a message saying "Stay tuned, your older photos are coming soon" - and looking at what is displayed, it's only photos that I have posted from my current smartphone (not the old one) to one particular blog.




And the tools don't all do the same things. In particular, there are features like albums and slideshows are still best done from Picasa (more info here: http://picasageeks.com/2015/05/google-photos-announcementthis-is-big/) - and  Picasa Desktop's photo editing tools are still vastly better.


edits you can do in Picasa dessktop but not on-line

Use Google Takeout to back up all your blogs at once

This article shows how to use Google's Takeout service to make a copy of the contents of all your blogs at the same time.


A backup is a copy that you can use to restore from if something goes wrong.  For your personal compter, you may have a backup copy of the files on your hard-drive, so that if you lose the machine, you can get the files back, usually with a little work.

In blogging terms, a backup of your blog is a copy that you can use if you accidentally delete a post, or lose control of your blog, or perhaps even a copy of a blog that you have deleted but still want some last-chance access to.

Unfortunately Blogger does not offer a complete solution for backing up our blogs.    Instead, we need to take separate actions to back up our gadget settings, our template when it is being edited, and our post-contents.

You can back up the posts from one content from the Settings > Other > Blog Tools tab.  If you choose the Export Blog link, Blogger makes an xml file containing a copy of your posts and pages, and puts it onto your computer (typically in your Downloads folder), without affecting your blog in any way

This approach is fine if you only have a few blogs.   But if you have several blogs it can get tedious:   for example, for each blog that I run, I also have another one or two private blogs for preparing posts and keeping documentation.

Luckily the Google Take-out service takes the pain away, by backing up all your blogs (and other Google product contents too, if your choose) at the same time.


How to back up using Google Takeout

Log in to your Google account, and go to the Takeout home-page at     www.google.com/settings/takeout

In the Select Data to Include section, make sure that Blogger stays ticked - but turn off the other types of content that you do not want.
  • I usually leave Drive ticked, because a good number of the files on my Google Drive relate to my blog.
  • You may also want to leave Google Photos ticked, if a lot of your pictures relate to your blog.




Click Next (bottom left of the screen - there's a long way to scroll down.)

Choose the file type that you want your backup file to be saved in.
  • Currently the options are zip, tbz and tgz.   If you are not sure, and are using a Windows computer, then just leave it on .zip.

Choose how you want to manage the backup file which Takeout makes:
  • If you choose Send download link via email then Google will send you an email message with a link to the file - click on this link, and save the file to your computer etc.  You need to do this within one week of doing the backup, because after that Google delete it.
  • If you choose Add to Drive, then Google will put the the file on your Google Drive, and send you an email to tell you that it's there.  This approach works well, but the szie of the archive file counts towards your storage qoute, and of course it's only useful if you don't lose access to your account.



Click Create Archive.
Google will make an archive file, using the settings you have provided.   They show a progress monitor, and this can take some time.    When the process is finished, they send your and email, and show a link to your archive file on the screen.



Job Done!     You now have made a backup file, containing the posts from all of your blogs.   When you look at this file, you will find that it contains one sub folder for each of your blogs (and possibly others too, if you included other services in your backup.


Restoring from your archive file

You may have noticed at the start of this article that I said that a backup is "a file you can use to recover from".   This is important - a copy that you do not know you can use might make you feel secure, but really it may be a waste of space.

How exactly you restore depends on where you saved the file, and what file type it is.   But I highly recommend:
  • Downloading the file to your computer
  • Extracting it
  • Checking that the extract has one file in its Blogger folder for each of your blogs
  • Saving this file for one of your blogs
  • Opening a private test blog, and using the Settings > Other > Blog Tools > Import blog function. 

This will set you see the effect of restoring from this file made from Takeout, reassure you that the file you have really is a backup, and let you see what other items you need to back up.


Limits to backing up and restoring a blog from an archive file

Pictures and videos

Blogger does not actually store videos or pictures that you have put into your posts inside your blog.   Instead it stores links to them in YouTube, Picasa web-albums / Google Photos, or whatever other stoage service you have used.

Your backup will have these links, too, not the original pictures.    And if you do back up the pictures separately and then restore them, they will not have the same URL, so the links in your blog posts may not work.

Pages

The export and import function does include the content of Pages, so these will be available in your restored blog.   (Tested to check that this is working, 1 June 2015).

Comments

Comments will be included in your backup and in blogs that are restored from it.

Menus, templates, gadget, themes etc

None of these are included in your blog posts, so they are not included in your backup file, no matter whether you make it individually or through Takeout.

The only exception is gadgets that you have put inside posts:  because these are inserted using HTML, they will be included.

Draft and scheduled posts

Post status (Published, Draft, Scheduled) is not retained in your backup:   if you choose to automatically restore all posts when you were importing to the recovery blog, then all the posts will be published.    If not, then they will all be draft.

The Secret Behind Mashable Success


I am quite sure that almost every blogger is familiar with Mashable, A Blog which was founded by Pete Cashmore as Tech blog which focused mostly on social media and later grew into being one of the most followed sites in the world such that it has received a recognition by the the United Nations(UN). So much Success by Mashable has to be taken into a special consideration because mashabe was started by a Pete Cashmore as a single blogger who had a passion for blogging and writing social media related posts whereby he got to a point where his blog was making more than $3000 per month which gave him a chance to hire another writer and more writers he hired and as of today the site has more than 40 employees which are working together to keep the blog running.
If Mashable grew at a great rate then that shows that any blogger is capable of achieving that level of success only if that blogger would know the secrets behind the Mashable success and also have the confidence that made Pete Cashmore to Start Mashable, Mark Zuckerburg to Start Face and the confidence that Sifiso Nkwanyana had to start Ajaxsurf , bringing a better world of blogging experience.

In June 2009 Masable has become the leading technology blog as it overcomed Techcrunch which was the leading techblog at that time and has until today been the leading blog, mashable is indeed a tech giant but the most surprising part of it is that mashable was started without any money and but with a purpose. Starting a blog can be done with or without money, but the most important part of started a blog is nothing more but purpose, As a blogger you must have a purpose for starting the Blog.

•Having a definite purpose into starting something will help elevate the success rate of your site or online business, it is not my law or my rule but it is the strategy that is used by many successful people around the world, when mark Zuckerburg started Facebook he was not much interested in making monet from The Facebook but his purpose was to create a social network in which he would communicate with his friends and after a moment his app was getting downloads in the whole of the United States and from the other parts of the world. His purpose attracted him wealth and fame as big companies like Microsoft Corp. Had invested with more than $250M which shows that Facebook today is worth more than $100 Billion.
Apart from looking at the big Facebook we have to see the Power behind having a purpose into something and following it, as Pete Cashmore had a purpose to start a blog that speaks much more about social media and Technology , he followed his purpose and got the best out of it.

•The second most important part that has to be taken into consideration is that a blog should have a name not a "sub-name" because this is the mistake that most bloggers make when naming their blogs, Having a blog that is using a "sub-name" is not that bad but it is a clear defination of about how far you want to take your blog and at what position do you want your blog to be in the near future.

What is a sub-name?

A Sub-name is simply a name that that is reffered to another name, it is any name used under a certain brand name for example we have Adidas as a brand therefore a sub-name would be anything like Adidas wear, Adidas fashion and so on.
The use of sub-names is not that bad at all as it can be good for Search Engine Optimization the use of sub-names carry the keyword of another site which which can appreciate or depreciate the value of your site.

I have recently moticed many people using title blogger tips, Blogger widgets to name their blog which is an indication of how much they want their sites to rank online, when using a name that is from another site then that will give a negative impression about your blog to the readers as your blog will not seem to be unique due to the sun-name that is being used by the site.

When Pete Cashmore named mashable he came up with an idea which led him to naming his site as mashable instead of using the common sub-names used by blogger newbies and other bloggers but instead he came up with something real and unique.
Giving a site a unique Name not a "sub-name" will really boost your site and also improve it appearance on the social networks and also on the search engines. You should Come up with something new and amazing to the world by bringing a brand with a professional name which will soon become a keyword as I have seen some bloggers try to name their blogs after Mashable, they have named their sites with names such as Mashabletips, Mashablegeeks, mashableblog etc. thinking that using the word "Mashable" will boost the rank of their blog in the search engines. This spread of sub-names is all over on blogger and wordpress, people should look up to sites like Mashable when it comes to naming.

The type of domain used by a site was once a ranking factor on Google but not anymore as Google has been changing it policies to rank sites according to their work not because of the name they are using.

•Mashable is most known for its amazing use of social media in the past years and they were the first sites to master search engine optimization before most sites had an idea about it, this should give us a hint about the success of Mashable by using social media because today in the 21st century you have to know the important of social marketing as social media has the ability to bring fresh new visitors to your blog.

The impact of social media in the internet is so huge as of today and social marketing is the core to the online money making skill.

•Mashable is one of the most Addictive sites on the internet to both new readers and old readers it is very addictive, this is questioning about how do they got to be so addictive. There are many sites that have been functioning the same as Mashable but we got to ask about the factors that had put mashable right on the top of the corperate ladder.

Mashable has a beautiful  unique responsive template and uses a lot of attractive social media buttons to help improve and to motivate readers into sharing their post online through social media,
Mashable has been known also for its spreading of links on the internet which has improved it ranking because we as bloggers a blog does not only need backlinks to rank but it will also have to create internal links and also link to other giant sites on the internet, by doing so your site is creating what is called structured data which is the same principle that is used by google.

The use of linking benefits a site rank on the search engines , Mashable has taken an advantage of this factor by distributing links all over the internet by getting to feature links from other articles across the globe. This shows that linking to other sites is very important.


The most important part that one should learn from Mashable is that apart from just linking to various sites on the internet they have made good relationships with a lot of sites and webmasters resulting to mashable receiving a huge number of backlinks and also some partnerships which helped increase the site revenue and it traffic.
