Big Eyes Coin (BIG)

Big Eyes (BIG) is an adorable cat who has a brilliant idea. The cat is motivated to protect the waters. Big Eyes Coin nearly drowned a few years ago, tipped over while sailing a yacht around the world. Thankfully, a humpback whale discovered BIG and brought it to shore. Later, when visiting Japan, Big Eyes Coin concluded that it needed to do everything it could to protect the waters. BIG adores seafood, and cats must eat. Each transaction will have a portion cut off and kept in a charity wallet. The software will also transfer users’ funds into the ecosystem for decentralized finance (DeFi), providing an additional benefit.

Big Eyes Coin has had an especially successful presale so far, having raised over $11 million.

Zcash (ZEC)

Zcash (ZEC) was created in 2016 in a bid to ease some of the issues within the blockchain ecosystem.  The Zooko Wilcox-led Zcash company created its cryptocurrency in 2014 on the Bitcoin platform.

Tokenized as “ZEC,” Zcash’s main objective is to safeguard the anonymity of its numerous users while they utilize the cryptocurrency. The privacy features of Zcash (ZEC) are comparable to those of conventional payment methods like credit and debit cards. Transactions on Zcash continue to be open and speedy.

From First to Third Level Interest in 2022: How the Rest of the World Saw Africa and Africa Saw Herself

0

As Internet searches and behaviours are expected to cease at 12 a.m. around the world in 2022, our analyst examines public interest in Africa as a continent during the year, with a particular focus on the proposition that Internet users who searched using Google Search Engine chose “Africa” as a keyword towards understanding issues, challenges, and opportunities in Africa. In this piece, related search queries after using “Africa” are considered at first, second and third levels. The first level of interest represents the most frequently searched related queries to the keyword. The second and third level interests include the second and third most searched related queries.

Internet users from 166 countries, including African countries are considered for data sources. The countries are; Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Chile, Colombia, Comoros, Congo Brazzaville, Costa Rica, Cote d’Ivoire, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea.

Estonia, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Gabon, Gambia, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macao, Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Malta, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Somalia, South Africa, South Korea, South Sudan, Spain, Sri Lanka, St Lucia, Sudan, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Trinidad & Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Vietnam, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Our analyst discovered a “search interest divide” in which people in some countries did not search for additional topics. In other words, they only wanted information about Africa and ignored other needs and/or issues. There were, for example, no related search queries from Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Comoros, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau and Niger. This also applies to the users in Afghanistan, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belgium, Belize, Bermuda, Burundi, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Comoros, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Kosovo, Macao, Mauritania, Niger, Palestine, Seychelles, Syria and Ukraine who did not consider related search queries at second and third level interests.

For the interest categories, a total of 428 related search queries from all the countries were found. For first and third level interest, over 37% and 32%, respectively, were discovered. The top ten related searches were examined further for analysis. Our analyst believes that the emerging search interest pattern indicates that the third level interests were used to address the needs that the first level could not satisfy (see Exhibit 1-3). Further investigation reveals that users were preoccupied with African football from first to third level. Knowing locations across the continent came next.

Observing Africa through the lens of South Africa is one of the analysis’s unexpected outcomes. In essence, our analyst discovered that users, particularly those from outside the continent, searched for South Africa as a related query to learn more about her (Africa). Further investigation of this result reveals that the lure that encouraged searching the nation as an additional topic was South African music with a focus on Mama Africa. The third place that business and music held at the second and third levels of interest was another surprising result.

Our analyst says it is not surprising that football was the most popular related search query throughout the year after looking at the newly revealed insights. Both the World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations were held during the year. Despite this, all interested parties must examine the disparate positions occupied by business and education. An advocacy campaign on the best ways to use the tool for examining business opportunities and educational needs is necessary.

Google Reaches $20m Agreement with Indiana to Settle Privacy Lawsuit

0

Google has closed for the year with a $20 million agreement with Indiana to settle an antitrust lawsuit filed by the state. The tech giant was alleged to have engaged in deceptive location tracking practices, according to the state’s Attorney General Todd Rokita.

Google and other members of Big Tech have been in constant battle with both regulators and states over the use of private data.

Rokita said the separate lawsuit was filed against Google when negotiations between the company and a coalition of state attorneys general stalled. Those states had reached a $391.5 million settlement with the company in November.

The settlement is the last among many that the web search giant has recorded this year. The states began to probe Google after Associated Press reported in 2018 that the company continued to track people’s location data even after they opted out of such tracking by disabling a feature the company called location history.

Filing a separate lawsuit, Rokita said in his announcement on Thursday, has given Indiana about twice as much money as it would have under the deal with the 40 states in coalition.

“This settlement is another manifestation of our steadfast commitment to protect Hoosiers from Big Tech’s intrusive schemes,” Rokita said.

According to Indiana’s lawsuit, Google uses location data to build detailed user profiles and target ads. The suit also alleged that the company has deceived and misled users about its practices since at least 2014.

Rokita said he sued Google because even a limited amount of location data can expose a person’s identity and routines.

“Such data can be used to infer personal details such as political or religious affiliation, income, health status or participation in support groups as well as major life events such as marriage and the birth of children,” he said.

However, under the settlement agreement with Indiana, Google did not admit to any wrongdoing.

In January, Google received a €150 million fine from France’s data privacy watchdog, Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), after it was found guilty of manipulating cookies to its advantage.

Fun Fact About the Year 2023

7

Do you know that the year 2023 is one of a kind of the calendar year whose counting  begins on a Sunday which is considered the first day of the week according to Christian, Jews and Islamic beliefs?

The last time this happened was six years ago in 2017 and another time we can expect to see this type of calendar year is in the next eleven years which is 2034.

In the last 56 years, this type of calendar year has occurred nine times as follows: 1967, 1978, 1984, 1989, 1995, 2006, 2012, 2017, and 2023.

The rotational movement of these special years has the following pattern: 11, 6 5, 6 (in years)

Based on above enumerated calendar years, there are two periods of 17 years each. Movement within each period alternate as 6, 5 and 6 years. However, movement from one period to another period takes eleven years.

For instance, from 1967, it took eleven years to move to a new period (1978-1995); from1995 it took another eleven years to move to a new period (2006-2023).

Since the next calendar year whose first day is a Sunday will be in another eleven years which is 2034, it could be said that 2023 marks the transition to a new period.
