Linkedin

Photo credit getty Building your personal brand means sharing your thought leadership with the people you seek to influence and impact. One powerful place to do that is LinkedIn. After all, when it comes to establishing discussions with other professionals, LinkedIn is a exceptional platform with nearly a billion professional members and many features you can use to expand your brand by delivering value to your target audience. To support thought leaders, LinkedIn launched “Creator Mode” about a year ago, and it has been well received by LinkedIn members. Creator Mode makes it easy for people who are checking you out to see what topics you discuss. When you have Creator Mode turned on, you can choose the hashtags with which you want to be associated, and they appear prominently on your profile, right below your headline. In just under 12 months, LinkedIn reported a nearly 50% increase in the number of people who follow those who have creator mode turned on. And they’ve made creators’ content more popular too with an almost 30% increase in the engagement on content created by those who are using this feature. Creator Mode is such a success, LinkedIn is taking it to the…

Mark Zuckerberg told the world last October that he was rebranding Facebook to Meta as the company pushes toward the metaverse.Facebook | via ReutersFacebook parent Meta has lost some of its top artificial intelligence scientists this year as the company continues its pivot toward the metaverse.At least four prominent members of Meta AI have departed in recent months, according to people familiar with the matter and LinkedIn analysis. Between them, the scientists have published dozens of academic papers in world-renowned journals and made multiple breakthroughs that Meta has used to enhance Facebook and Instagram.Karl Hermann, an AI entrepreneur who used to work at rival lab DeepMind, told CNBC on Monday the true figure could be more like half a dozen, adding that the company's London AI lab had seen an alarming number of exits. "Meta's London office just collapsed and they lost most of their researchers in the span of six weeks," he said.Neil Lawrence, professor of machine learning at the University of Cambridge, told CNBC that he wasn't surprised. "Mark's gone all Meta now ... and they never invested properly in anything in London in the first place," he said.Those who have left the company include Edward…

New Delhi/Brasilia: Microsoft-owned LinkedIn has changed its global policy for job postings after Brazilian authorities flagged the removal of postings on its platform that were exclusive to black and indigenous professionals. The professional networking website faced severe criticism for excluding a job opening by the Centre for the Analysis of Freedom and Authoritarianism in Brazil. In the job posting, the Brazilian organisation expressed that preference would be given to black and indigenous candidates in the selection process, reports ZDNet. “We have updated our global job posting policy to allow publication of publications that express a preference for professionals from historically disadvantaged groups in hiring in countries where this practice is considered legal,” the company said in a statement late on Tuesday. LinkedIn’s global policy prohibits discrimination in job postings based on characteristics such as age, gender, disability, ethnicity, race, and sexual orientation. After the job vacancy was removed, the platform received severe criticisms from its Brazilian users. “In Brazil, affirmative vacancies are now allowed, including for black and indigenous people. We appreciate the feedback we have received from our community in Brazil,” said LinkedIn. LinkedIn was also notified by consumer protection agency Procon-SP, who requested the professional networking…

However, while the job seeking is done, not all of us pay attention to how far it has come.

29 March 2022 07:00 BST   Ondexxya is the first approved reversal agent specifically for Factor Xa inhibitors, providing a major advance in the treatment of patients hospitalised with life-threatening bleeding   Ondexxya (andexanet alfa) has been approved in Japan for patients treated with the Factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors apixaban, rivaroxaban or edoxaban, when reversal of anticoagulation is needed due to life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding. The approval by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare was based on positive results from the  ANNEXA-4  Phase III clinical trial showing Ondexxya rapidly and markedly reversed anti-FXa activity in patients with acute major bleeding. Ondexxya is the first approved medicine in Japan to specifically reverse the anticoagulant effect of FXa inhibitors apixaban, rivaroxaban or edoxaban in patients experiencing a life-threatening or uncontrolled bleed. Japan is also the first country to provide full regulatory approval of Ondexxya for use with all three of the FXa inhibitors currently available. FXa inhibitors are increasingly used for the prevention and treatment of thrombotic events, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, or in patients at high risk of a stroke due to an irregular heart rate (atrial fibrillation). While they prevent unwanted clots from forming, they can also increase the risk of major bleeding, which can be life-threatening.1,2 Masahiro Yasaka, MD, PhD, National Hospital Organisation Kyushu Medical Centre, Fukuoka, Japan, said: “FXa inhibitors are essential medicines for people prone to developing blood…

SUNLAND PARK, New Mexico (KTSM) – For the first time since 2019, the Sunland Park Derby was finally held. There were 12 races on the card but a lot of eyes were on the 11th race of the day. The Sunland Derby, a designated stakes race that offers qualifying points to the 2022 Kentucky Derby, saw eight horses line up for the race. Slow Down Andy, the morning line favorite at 2-1 odds, won the race and grabbed the 50 qualifying points for the 2022 Kentucky Derby in May but it did not come easy. In the last corner, the locally trained race horse ‘Bye Bye Bobby’ grabbed a second wind of energy and jumped from third place to a side by side battle with the leader Slow Down Andy. Slow Down Andy managed to hold onto the lead and finish less than half a horse in front of the resilient Bye Bye Bobby. The moment Slow Down Andy and his winning jockey Mario Gutierrez crossed the finish line it served up a moment of relief and a feeling of accomplishment. “For a second I thought the horse coming on the outside had the jump on me, but at the…

Loading... At first glance, Renée DiResta thought the LinkedIn message seemed normal enough. The sender, Keenan Ramsey, mentioned that they both belonged to a LinkedIn group for entrepreneurs. She punctuated her greeting with a grinning emoji before pivoting to a pitch for software. "Quick question — have you ever considered or looked into a unified approach to message, video, and phone on any device, anywhere?" DiResta wasn't interested and would have ignored the message entirely, but then she looked closer at Ramsey's profile picture. Little things seemed off in what should have been a typical corporate headshot. Ramsey was wearing only one earring. Bits of her hair disappeared and then reappeared. Her eyes were aligned right in the middle of the image. "The face jumped out at me as being fake," said DiResta, a veteran researcher who has studied Russian disinformation campaigns and anti-vaccine conspiracies. To her trained eye, these anomalies were red flags that Ramsey's photo had likely been created by artificial intelligence. That chance message launched DiResta and her colleague Josh Goldstein at the Stanford Internet Observatory on an investigation that uncovered more than 1,000 LinkedIn profiles using what appear to be faces created by artificial intelligence.
