Asad Zeeshan

Choosing the right CMS (Content Management System)

Content management system doesn’t only mean creating, organizing, editing, and deleting web pages. Content management system must have more elements than just the above mentioned stuff. It is the set of different procedures used to manage the flow of work in a collaborating environment. Content management system allows large number of people to contribute, manage and share stored data. List of different kind of material and application can complete this system; here are few important things in particular.

Core functionality

Create a list of functions you need for your website now or in future as there are lots of things, which you may not need now but you may need them in future. A proper list of functions allows you to choose easily the content management system you require. When you choose a content management system, which is multiple in nature than do test it before purchasing.

Editor

The editor is the most important feature which needs attention. The traditional editors WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) with majority of content management systems doesn’t work properly with the design and content, as they mix them together. The editor is the important feature with which content can be added and amended. The latest editors allow the user to mark up lists, headings, links and other elements. Check your list of features that includes editor with latest approach in the content management system. This editor should also handle the external assets like files, images and downloadable.

Asset Management

Some CMS badly manage the images and downloadable files which frustrate the user with poor visibility and usability. Ensure that your CMS allows the user to add attributes to images. This CMS must provide image editing tools like cropping, rotating and resizing. It is important for you to make a check list to ensure the features of your CMS especially regarding asset management. Your CMS must deals correctly with uploading and attachment of files like PDF’s and Word. These images must show clearly in the search feature of your website.

Search

More than half of the users proceed with the search feature of the website to look for the things they required. You need to ensure that search function work properly with its speed, freshness, customization and ranking.

a. Speed:

Your search engines should be speedy and take less time to complete the search.

b. Freshness:

If your website changes regularly than you must see how often does the search engine index your site?

c. Ranking:

You have to see how the search engine determines the result ranking. You have also to decide that either the owner of website or the user can customize it.

Customization

Presentation is the most important element today as it provides clarity and makes you content effective. You must look for a content management system which allows flexibility in presenting the content. Content must not be dictated by technological codes as this can restrict accessibility and produce constraint on design. Flexibility in presenting the content allows the user to check the news in reverse chronological order, display events in calendar, and display the recent user comments on home page. Customization and Versioning are similar in importance.

Versioning

Your system’s ability to let quickly revert to a previous version of the web page, allows you to recover data if you post or delete something accidently. Most content management systems have this feature so you must look for the one which has versioning feature. Multi website support is another feature same as important to versioning.

Multiple Website Support

It is the must-have feature for your content management system as it allows you to run several multiple website with single installation. Targeting narrow audience and a different market can in future force you to have more sites than you current have so this feature is very important. As the technology is moving fast, you may want to have a mobile device website in future so it is again very important. User interaction in different websites is effective for achieving targets.

User Interaction

Hosting communities and gathering user feedback are very effective these days. You must also need these things and for that your CMS must have functions like forums, chat, ratings and comments. It is important for you to check your CMS that how it works on gathering feedbacks, sending emails, and collecting data.

Another important thing to look for in CMS is that what tools are there for communicating with customers? Can you send newsletters? What about news feeds and RSS? Finally you have to see the ways to reset user passwords and set permissions.

Permissions and Roles

When the number of users increases, you must need to control them by permitting some to edit the content and some to join different groups. Here your CMS must support permissions. Further enhancement in content must needs a content manager and you must permit him for content editing and checking. The important thing here is that your CMS must support multiple roles and permissions. In future you may require multilingual support too.

Multilingual support

At present you may not require this feature but in future you may want to target some markets with multilingual support feature on your website. It is very important that your CMS grows with your business and fulfilled the needs. Language is important element with which you can get direct feedback from different markets.

Features are very important for your website and more important is the availability of these features in your CMS. Keep you feature requirement minimum with an eye on the future needs.

Asad Zeeshan

Scientists are working from long time to find the solution of cancer. Cancer is of many types and due to so many types it’s difficult to find big solutions. Scientists have found some good treatments by which cancer can be eliminated from the body but it depends on the stage of cancer at which it is diagnosed. Cancer growth is an unbalanced growth of cells which can start at any part of the body. Normal cells grow at a decent and well controlled manner. Some important discoveries have made against breast cancer, lungs and colon cancer today. Chemotherapy is the most effective way of treatment these days against all cancer cells.

Chemotherapy is a combination of two words “Chemo” and “Therapy”. Chemo means Chemical and Therapy is a treatment so by combining the two, it can be called a “Chemical treatment”. It’s a way of treatment in which a combination of medicines used, to kill the cancer cells more rapidly than to any other form of single medicine. It is a combination of powerful drugs which can kill cancer cells at a high rate. In this therapy drugs are given by mouth, directly into the veins, into the muscles and directly under the skin. A patient needs to have this treatment 8-10 times or more as according to the stage of the cancer in the body. If a patient is diagnosed in the early stage than the cycle of the treatment can be less and vise versa.

Chemotherapy is anti-cancer multi drug combination which controls and stops the multiplication of cancer cells so that the growth of the cancer cells can be controlled and they can be eliminated later. Chemotherapy can be different among different people depending upon some ones tumor size, hormones receptor, and physical appearance. Chemotherapy is not an enjoyable treatment and it’s very different to sustain as it affects the whole body. People don’t want it but as a last resort and because of its advantages against cancer. Chemotherapy, before surgery, effect twice, once to reduce the size of the tumor, and it also destroy cancer cells. After surgery, Chemotherapy works through blood flow to kill all cancer cells wherever these cells try to grow.

Cancer cells show the worst form of growth in the human body. They can grow at any point in the body and this growth is a total chaos. Cancer cells can spread at a high rate and if treated with any single medicine, there is a chance that they can break and spread to all body parts. Chemotherapy is the best treatment against this growth as it follows the cells and kills them in all parts of body. This action against cancer cells also kill some good cells in the human body parts like mouth, nose, nail, and vagina, because the good cells in these body parts are rapidly growing. Chemotherapy act against the growth of cancer cells and it also effects the growth of good cells in the body parts. This effect can be dangerous as it can stop the growth of the body.

Types of Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a treatment of combined drugs and systems which can be adopt by several ways. It can apply to skin, provided by mouth, by injections into the veins and by injected medicines into muscles etc. There are several types of chemotherapy by which it treated the sick body. Some of its type are quiet effective and work at a good level.

The combination of drugs involved in this type of chemotherapy is different in respect of side effects and mechanism. This type of chemotherapy has an advantage that it minimizes the chances of resistance development.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is another type. It is used to shrink the size of the tumor in the body so when another form of treatment like surgery applied to the body, the side effects of which can be minimized. Adjuvant chemotherapy is type of treatment in which the tumor size is very small but there is huge risk that it can spread and reoccur. This minimizes the risk of resistance development if any cancer cell appears in future.

Another type of chemotherapy is called Palliative chemotherapy. This type of chemotherapy is given without any kind of intent. It is used to increase the expected life time and to decrease the load of cancer cells. Plant Alkaloids are chemotherapy treatment in which plants are used in a great number. Periwinkle plant, Pacific yew tree (Taxus), May apple plants and Happy tree plant are some of the plants used in this type of chemotherapy.

Anti tumor Antibiotics are the chemotherapy which is made of natural products by the species of soil fungus called Streptomyces.

Asad Zeeshan

American Military presence underwater in Degogarcia, near Indian Islands Niconbar is experimenting latest “Earth Penetrator Missile” which is also known as “The Tactical Missile System Penetrator (TACMS-P)“. This missile is capable of destroying the rocky mountains under water, resulting earth quakes and tremors.

British Army is present in this Island since 1857 and brought thousands to the Island Jail commonly known as “Kala Pani”. British and US millitary presence till today is 250,000 soldiers and Navy marines with thousands of air and army equipment. Here is the website by which you can see some of the images and information available:

New Super Powers after American dissolution: A possible “Super Power Portfolio”

Asad Zeeshan

United States of America due to its wrong policies and war strategies against countries like Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Venezuela, and Russia has destroyed its economy completely. Huge economic loss, unemployment, racism, liquidations, and cost of covering all these things (compensations) have made the economy badly suffer, time after time. More than 35 states of America are in deep trouble with poverty and joblessness.

Top six states with better economic situation are seriously thinking to discontinue with the United State Federal government because according to them, they are just paying for others expenses. These states strongly find the fact that their surplus economy is utilized for covering the deficit budget of the other states, due to which they are also suffering. If these states become Independent countries like 9 states separated from USSR, than there will be no more USA, and no more funding to be a super power, which may leads to a civil war in USA. If USA dissolve like USSR than there will be a huge problem in the world as present, there is no power to cope with the situation.

A possible portfolio of small powers of the world expected to join hands to control the world in the future as Super Power. Chinese – Russian collaboration, Iran – Venezuela, Israel, Pakistan – Muslim countries, France – Germany, and Korea – Malaysia are some small groups. A possible collaboration among China, Russia, France, Pakistan, Iran, Venezuela and Korea can control different parts of the world as they have good resources (oil and gas) special armies, Nuclear power status, a good economic situation and friendly agreements between them. Israel on the other hands has relationship with India, Egypt, and UK etc. Israel needs to be very careful as it doesn’t have good relationship among this possible portfolio of countries.

Israel needs to improve its relationship towards China, Pakistan and France to become the part of the super power portfolio. Israel is one of the nuclear nation and every country including Iran, needs to accept this reality. Israel is an important choice for the new super power model, in order to have peace and stability in Middle East. Presently, countries like USA, India and UK are blackmailing Israel by creating misunderstandings between Israel and other countries: Pakistan, Iran, China, and France to get both economic and military benefits from Israel. If USA dissolves, UK’s economy will suffer and may have the same effect like USA, which can result into Australian independence from UK.

Indian terrorism and internal Hindu terrorists is not letting India to become part of any possible portfolio in future. India creating problems with Pakistan, Srilanka, Bangladesh and China will separate it towards its own death. Israel and Pakistan are the only two countries of the world which are crated on the base of religion so these two needs to come close and solve their misunderstanding created by others. China has biggest collaborations with Pakistan & Russia and it can use this relationship to keep Russia and Pakistan close. Russia has good ties with Iran and Israel and it can influence both to live in peace while France and Germany can help all.

This may leads to a “Super Power Portfolio” of top nuclear – economic nations like China, Pakistan, Israel, Russia, Iran, France, Germany, Korea etc. This portfolio can cover most part of the world and can create a Super Power Force (SPF) which can control different parts of the world and produce peace where USA and its allies are creating problems these days. United Nations will have no respect in future and SPF may take over UN to solve the matters with truth and fair solutions without war.
