Ali Rabiei made the comment in a message marking the National Journalists’ Day.

“We commemorate the Journalists’ Day at a time when Iran’s society and journalists’ community are going through the most complicated and toughest times in modern history,” he said in his message.
“Never ever has the Iranian society been exposed to such mental turbulence,” he added.

He said hegemonic powers are making “huge media investments” to trigger mental collapse and break the society’s resistance.

“Sanctions, the high paper and publishing costs coupled with unemployment along with the coronavirus-stricken economy have all gripped freelance and independent journalism,” he added.

He then urged journalists to make untold stories heard and boost public trust in order to help overcome problems.

Places You Need to Avoid While on Your Rehab

In rehab, people are admitted for therapeutic purposes so as to achieve maximum detoxification and become sober. While in rehab, many people undergo relapse because of going to places that trigger old memories and experiences. Addiction is more like training the mind to ensure it doesn’t depend on alcohol or substance to function.

 

Never Go to Places You Used to Drink

People who are in rehab must be kept away from the stimulus that triggers them to drink. Once the mind remembers the place where the addict used to drink, the person may fall back to relapse and start drinking again. Avoiding places that you used to go and drink or places you used to take the substance of abuse is like stopping triggers that can bring relapse. This is the best way to ensure you stick to the therapeutic interventions set by the doctors or Ready Clean detox for drug test, which is reviewed here.

 

Bars and Pubs Should Not Even Be Your Priority

Even if you are not going to the pub to drink, there is that smell of alcohol that you will feel around you. such a smell may trigger the mind and escalate your urge to drink. You might find yourself drinking without your intention and that could bring your addiction back. When in rehab, try as much as you can to stay away from alcohol selling shops because those will make you feel like you should take a sip. The bars are known to be a stimulus to people who used to drink. Never come near alcohol or places where people always drink.

 

The Group You Used to Abuse Drugs with

Bird of the same feathers fly together and this is the worst part of it. In as much as you want excellent outcomes, you need to forgo the bad company. Those are your friends but they may drag you to the substance abuse life that you used to live before. Avoid such friends and where you used to meet them so as to stop triggering the urge to take the substance that you used to take before. If possible, make sure you avoid such friends because they will always make you relapse.

 

Don’t Go to Places Where You Are Alone

Being alone means being lonely and idle. Instead of being in a secluded place, it is good to ensure you associate yourself with friends and people who can make sure you do activities to rejuvenate your mind. Go for football activities, do some group discussions, watch a movie with friends, and make sure you interact with jovial friends. You can even enroll in an exercise gym center where you can keep yourself busy by exercising and becoming fit. If you do that, you become occupied by good things and that will prevent you from thinking about drugs.

 

Conclusion

Always try as much as you can to stay off the hook of drug and alcohol abuse. If you were once an addict, it is easy for you to relapse if you don’t take care of yourself. Know where you are supposed to be and with who. Some people even choose a sobriety partner who will walk with them to ensure they don’t touch bad substances that could make them to relapse. Getting into substance abuse is not something for the weak, anyone can fall into that trap regardless of how emotionally strong they are.

Are you one of those sellers paying the price for poor customer management due to an unorganized and inefficient customer help desk? This software, eDesk, has been built to simplify the tasks related to the management of customer queries, order management, and support operations.

One unique attribute of eDesk is its ability to resolve tickets, rather than solely manage them. Every agent of the seller has real-time access to shipping information, pricing changes, iterations in product listings, and, most importantly, customer and order-related data.

Additionally, it collects every little customer interaction from your website and all marketplaces (including Amazon) to arrange them in one place. This, along with an automated query-assignment process based on the agent’s past history of query resolution, brings clarity amongst a seller’s customer support team.

  1. FBA Refunds

Eg: AmzRefund

Have you had to face the consequences of dealing with mistakes on behalf of your marketplace? AmzRefund is a tool that assists in a tidy and quicker process to acquire reimbursements that have arisen due to a blunder by Amazon.

Although Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) is already a top-rated perk for sellers on Amazon, many users fail to experience a comfortable time utilizing this feature. This service permits sellers to knock off FBA-related issues due to its specialty in resolving problems related to misplaced inventory, damaged deliveries, or even payment discrepancies.

Keep in mind, AmzRefund charges a 12% commission on each FBA query that they successfully resolve. It proves worth it as sellers generally face issues related to faulty commission fees, overcharged weight fees, and even customer returns management.

  1. Shipping

Eg: ShipWorks

How about a full-fledged management system regarding your available inventory, inventory pickups, customized invoices, and promotional emails in combination with shipping information? To top it up, sellers can also generate monthly reports regarding the units ordered, successfully delivered, damaged, yet in transit, returned, etc.

If you find yourself making plenty of sales across varied locations, ShipWorks would be a valuable addition to your seller tools’ arsenal. This tool offers hyper-speed order processing and assures your customers to keep in the loop and never have to follow-up.

This tool performs with minimal cloud latency, making it lightning-fast for high-volume sellers to cope with constant customer demands continually.

You can avail of the 30-day free trial before deciding to make this meager investment for the greater good.

  1. Amazon Seller App 

If 3rd party tools can reduce your burden as a seller on Amazon’s marketplace, imagine what Amazon’s very own Amazon Seller App can do. It is a one-stop solution for all things linked to product listings, pricing management, customer interactions, feedback incorporation, and even your go-to point of contact with Amazon itself.

Remember, this solution is only for sellers who are involved in the act of purchasing products from one retailer and then redistributing them to other customers. The process is ridiculously simple even to manage from a smartphone (android).

You can modify offers and even click photos of top-notch quality to curate attractive and high-converting listings as a seller.

  1. Amazon Review Software

Eg: FeedBackGenius

Do you majorly rely on customer feedback to gain greater traction for your products on Amazon? Is your online business based on a customer-centric approach? FeedBackGenius functions in a manner that automates the littlest of communications between buyers and sellers.

The software has built a system that sends emails at strategic times during and after a client transaction. This increases the probability of getting the customer to drop in a review and increase your product listings ranking.

Users of this software are guaranteed Amazon verified reviews while simultaneously improving the customer’s buying experience.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, the software type you require entirely depends on what phase of the Amazon seller cycle you are on. Your customer reach, revenue generated, budget for seller tools, and even quantity of sales has a say in deciding whether or not to use Amazon seller tools.

Iran Says No Difference between Hook, His Successor

“No difference between John Bolton, Brian Hook or Elliott Abrams; when it comes to the US Iran policy, American officials have been bitten off more than they could chew,” Seyyed Abbas Mousavi tweeted on Friday.

“Same applies to Mike Pompeo, Donald Trump AND their successors,” he added, describing the US’ Iran policy as a “bankrupt” one.

His comments came after US State Secretary Mike Pompeo said on Thursday that Hook is leaving his post, and US special representative for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, will add Iran to his role “following a transition period” with Hook.

In a tweet on Friday, Secretary of Iran’s National Security Council Ali Shamkhani said Hook is leaving the office without any success in carrying out his mission, just like Donald Trump’s former national security advisor John Bolton.

The Trump administration’s maximum pressure strategy was initially aimed at bringing about a “regime change” in Iran, but finally turned into “preventing Iran from becoming rich”, Shamkhani noted.

After Hook, “Mike [Pompeo] may also be forced to pack and leave before Donald [Trump]’s departure,” he added.

Alireza Miryousefi, spokesman for Iran’s mission to the United Nations in New York, has also downplayed Hook’s departure, saying it “does not concern us and is not something we consider as a game-changer.

“The so-called ‘maximum pressure’ campaign waged by the US government has failed,” he told Reuters.

“Iran is not on its knees, and will not do so regardless of who is in charge of implementing this bankrupt policy. Active Resistance,” he added.

Rouhani Praises Journalists’ Role in Fighting Spread of Fake News

In a Friday message marking the National Journalists’ Day, Rouhani said Iran is currently under the maximum pressure of sanctions and misinformation.

Under such circumstances, he said, the country needs journalists who take the reality out of the rubble of distortion, and add real hope to judgements and analyses so as to make them more realistic.

He referred to the National Journalists’ Day as a day of commemorating precious values like truth-seeking and awareness raising.

“At the current time when fake news and false accounts are targeting the people’s hope and trust, we are more than ever in need of a relentless pursuit of reality, awareness raising and unbiased account of events,” he added.

Rouhani said “our world and our country still need human beings who prefer truth to any belonging, and shed light on the complications, ambiguities, and darkness of our time.”

“In the battle of accounts and in the confrontation of authentic/fake and valid/invalid data, our country is wholeheartedly praising journalists who report the reality in full, whether it is bitter or sweet,” the president added.

“We believe awareness is a strong shield for the society, and a safe shelter for public opinion. Our future hinges on choices, and the consequence of choices depends on the existence or nonexistence of awareness.”

Rouhani praised the journalists’ role these days, amid the COVID-19 outbreak, and described them as protectors of both truth and health.

“One can see the heroes of Iran’s confrontation with the coronavirus pandemic both in hospitals and the medical system and in the production sector of the economy and among media professionals,” he added.
