Most of the organizations have no idea where to start or whether social media can be an effective business channel for engaging with their target audience! No matter how passionate you are about it, this is not the place to be salesperson of the year! Social networking should be used to define your audience, locate your potential customers, build a social relationship with them and then proceed to promote your brand and website.However, in order to achieve this, an organization needs to clearly define its goals and its audience – in short it needs a comprehensive social media strategy.

Empowering The Urban Poor Through Participatory Planning Process: A Case From Jhenaidah, Bangladesh

A B S T R A C T
The paper analyses a community development project based in Jhenaidah, Bangladesh, which evolved through broadening social capital among slum communities and formal institutions in order to bring positive socio-spatial changes in the neighborhoods. Till date, nine disadvantaged communities have formed a network for city-wide community development, have started to build and manage their own funds, built better houses for themselves, and through this process have managed to draw attention and support from the local government. Started by a small group of architects and a local NGO in 2015, and still broadening its scopes, this project can be regarded as a successful example of people-led development initiative, especially in a context where most development projects exercise limited participatory values and are dominated by unequal power dynamics. Hence issues like scaling up and economic sustainability still concern those, who can see the community-driven development process with an unbiased attitude. The overarching goal of this article is to sketch out these issues with the help of empirical understandings from the field and theoretical findings from literature on social innovation and power in planning in order to understand how to work balance between local and institutional management of projects in order to avoid perceiving bottom-up and top-down initiatives in a dualistic manner.

Rizal's Travel to Paris, Madrid and BarcelonaApril Dela Cruz
Rizal visited Paris where he was honored by Juan Luna at a banquet. He also visited the Bibliotheque Nationale. In Spain, he met with comrades Marcelo H. del Pilar and Mariano Ponce in Madrid, who were involved in propaganda efforts. Rizal also hoped to assess reforms in the Philippines. He was elected honorary president of the Association of La Solidaridad, whose purpose was to unite Filipinos in Europe seeking Philippine reforms. The first issue of their newspaper La Solidaridad launched on February 15, 1889 in Barcelona with Graciano Lopez Jaena as editor.
Rizal learned that his brother-in-law Manuel R. Hidalgo had been deported from the Philippines. He received news of this through a telegram from Hong Kong and a letter from Hidalgo. Hidalgo had been deported by order of the governor of Tagbilaran. Rizal then moved to Paris and Brussels, where he wrote his second novel El Filibusterismo and worked in a local clinic. He received letters from his family in the Philippines describing the suffering they faced from authorities after a dispute over land rights. Rizal's appeal to the Spanish Supreme Court on behalf of his family's land claim was unsuccessful, forcing the tenants' eviction.

i-LED (i-Governance for Local Economic Development) Naga CityApril Dela Cruz
1) The document discusses Naga City, Philippines' i-LED program which uses information and communication technologies like websites, social media, and mobile apps to encourage transparency, public participation, and innovative governance practices to promote local economic development and improve quality of life.
2) Some key aspects of the i-LED program include an online citizen's charter, posting of government documents and budgets, engaging citizens on social media, and streamlining business processes like licensing.
3) The program has led to benefits like improved competitiveness, recognition as best in e-governance, increased fiscal independence, and attracting a new BPO site, helping create thousands of jobs.
The document outlines the requisites of a good written constitution. It should be brief but comprehensive, covering the constitution of government, liberty, and sovereignty. A constitution differs from a statute in that it establishes the general framework of law and government from the people, intended to govern the future, and acts as the supreme law of the land to which all other laws must conform.
Rizal arrived in San Francisco on April 28, 1888 aboard the ship Belgic. After a quarantine period, he was allowed to disembark and stayed at the Palace Hotel for a few days. He then took a train across the US, seeing places like Sacramento, Reno, Ogden, Omaha, Colorado, Missouri River, and Chicago before arriving in New York on May 13. On May 16, he left for Liverpool, England aboard the City of Rome. In London, Rizal devoted much of his time to annotating Antonio de Morga's work on the history of the Philippines in the British Museum. His annotations of Morga's book were later published in Paris in 1890.

About Potato, The scientific name of the plant is Solanum tuberosum (L).Christina Parmionova
The potato is a starchy root vegetable native to the Americas that is consumed as a staple food in many parts of the world. Potatoes are tubers of the plant Solanum tuberosum, a perennial in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Wild potato species can be found from the southern United States to southern Chile
Synopsis (short abstract) In December 2023, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 30 May as the International Day of Potato.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
