New deadline for Yahoo Groups data request

Hi Yahoo Member, In recent weeks, we communicated the latest changes to Yahoo Groups and explained how to request a download of any content you've previously posted to the platform. Some Groups users asked us for more time, and in response to these requests, we have decided to extend the deadline. Groups users now have until Friday, January 31, 2020 at 11:59pm PST to submit a request for their data. We have now taken down all user content from the Yahoo Groups website. However, we will continue to accept users' requests for their data until January 31, 2020, and will ensure these have been fulfilled prior to deleting the data. For additional support, users can email YahooGroupsEscalations@verizonmedia.com and our team will troubleshoot any issues.

Next Steps: The Evolution of Yahoo Groups (Final Notification)

Dear Group Moderators and Members, Last month we notified you of the changes coming to Yahoo Groups that better align with user habits, and today we are providing an update to guide you through the next steps of the transition. Yahoo Groups is not going away - but we are making adjustments to ultimately serve you better. We are amazed at the vibrant community you've created through Yahoo Groups and we want to make sure you feel supported as we introduce these changes. The following changes were made since our last communication:    •   Users can now only join a Yahoo Group through an invite or group request approval by the Group Moderator.    •   New Groups can't be public. They can only be private (not listed in Groups directory, membership by invitation only) or restricted (listed in Groups directory, membership requests must be approved by a Group Moderator).    •   Members must share all content via email, and can no longer upload or host new content on the Yahoo Groups website itself. The following changes will be made on December 14, 2019:    •   Public groups will no longer exist. All existing public Groups will become restricted Groups that require Group Moderator approval to join.    •   Any content that was previously uploaded via the website will be removed. If you would like to keep any of the content you've posted or stored within your Yahoo Group, please download it by December 14 by accessing the Groups Download Manager at this link. Once you provide your preferred email address, we will send you a confirmation of your download request and notify you once the download is complete. You will receive a link to a downloadable zip file via email for each of your Groups organized into a separate folder. Download time varies depending on the amount of information and file size. If your download request is made by 11:59pm PST on Saturday, December 14, 2019, your content will not be deleted until your download is complete. We are unable to accommodate any download requests made after this deadline. This is the final reminder to download your content. You can find additional information about the upcoming changes here. We have worked extensively with our customer support team to develop recommendations for tools that can help you with any download issues. See help article here. We have watched the evolution of Yahoo Groups with awe, as we grew to a community of millions with over 10 million Groups. Every day, we witness the power of community and shared passions, and our mission is to provide a platform for the strong connections people make with each other around their interests. We thank you for being part of the Yahoo Groups community and look forward to continuing to provide ways for you to connect with one another about your shared interests and passions. Sincerely, The Groups Team     Privacy Policy | Terms of Service | Customer Support 701 First Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94089 ©2019 Yahoo

Yahoo Groups - Upcoming Product Changes to Yahoo Groups

Dear Group Moderators and Members, Thank you for your commitment to Yahoo and for helping us define the power of digital communities. Eighteen years ago, we combined the functionality of a site called eGroups.com with a precursor community platform called Yahoo Clubs to launch Yahoo Groups. Since then, you and millions of others have helped prove our hypothesis, by creating and joining more than 10 Million groups. A lot has changed about the Internet since 2001, including the ways most people now use Yahoo Groups. Today, most Yahoo Groups activity happens in your email inbox, not on the bulletin boards where Yahoo Groups started in the pre-smartphone age. Increasingly, people want content and connections coming directly to them, and this is why we continue to invest in Yahoo Mail -- including the recent launch of a new Yahoo Mail app that is currently the highest-rated email app in the App Store and Google Play. So, as our users' habits have evolved, we have begun the process of evolving our approach to help active Yahoo Groups thrive and migrate to our email platform. To help you plan for these changes, below is the schedule of how this transition will happen. Beginning October 28, 2019: Users will be able to join a Yahoo Group only through an invite from the Group Moderator or by submitting a request to join a Group, which requires approval by the Group Moderator. Since we are moving Group communication from posting on message boards to email distribution, uploading and hosting of new content will also be disabled on the Yahoo Groups website. Beginning December 14, 2019: All Groups will be made private and any content that was previously uploaded via the website will be removed. We believe privacy is critical and made this decision to better align with our overall principles. If you would like to keep any of the content you've posted or stored in the past within your Yahoo Group, please download it by December 14 by accessing this link. As these dates get closer, we will send follow-up reminders. More information about the upcoming changes can be found here. While this evolution of Yahoo Groups is inspired by how we see the platform being used today, we know change can be difficult. Here are a few important facts as we make this transition: 1. Yahoo Groups is not going away - We know that our users are deeply passionate about connecting around shared interests, and we are evolving Groups to better align with how you use it today. 2. New groups can still be formed - Users can continue to connect with others around their common bonds and interests. From animal rescues to sporting and activity groups, civic organizations to local PTAs, members of our Yahoo Groups will remain connected and able to share their activities and interests. All of the content that you have shared previously on the website, can continue to be shared via email. We know that Yahoo Groups is an important online extension of your real-life group of friends, interests and communities, and we are committed to supporting communities that rely on Yahoo Groups. Thanks for coming along with us this far. We look forward to seeing where the technology -- and you -- take us in the decades to come. Sincerely, The Groups Team     Privacy Policy | Terms of Service | Customer Support ©2019 Yahoo 701 First Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94089

Re: [pakgrid] why 3.0 CGPA for PhD Admission

 

Dear Gents,
Getting admission to higher studies/Phd. Should not depend upon the cgpa or percentage of previous degree.the best thing is to have a specific test like Gre,Gat or any that HEC may develop for admission.
And all those **Gents** who are judging some/all students on there english language skill or criticising that they were not able to write in english in there propsals should mind and remember that English is not the National or widely speaking language in Pakistan. and majority of us( I think) have urdu mediam till inter.so atleast in Pakistan this should not a much strong factor for someone to accept the propsal.
Nodoubt English is must have tool for current acedemics but not ultimate.
as we can see Europe, china and the research and development thay able to get without knowing much English.
So sure it is something else for one to be a Phd, researcher, Highly skilled professinal but not marely cgpa.

I also appologize in advance if my input feel inconvenient to any one here.As all are my teachers and much seniors.

WITH ALL RESPECT.

Most universities have set 3.0 as passing GPA for MS.  Below 3.0 passing GPA is normally for undergraduate programs. So 3.0 GPA for PhD is justifiable.

I believe in PhD the Q1 is the largest filter. The students below 3.00 CGPA would be at a greater risk of failing the qualifying exam part-1.

I totally disagree with brother Adnan. We should focus here on quality rather than quantity. Most of the reputed universities in Pakistan have the criteria of atleast CGPA 3.0 for MS degree and I think it is a good step if HEC has done it.

Yes, its totally unfair. If a HEC recognised institute issues MS degree, then its right of the student to take admission in PhD.

Salam,

I hear that HEC has set up 3.0 CGPA requirement for admission in PhD, whereas the passing criteria for MS degree is 2.5.

If a person with fairly good academic record has not been able to secure a CGPA of 3.0 or above then he/she is deprived of getting admission in PhD.

Furthermore, students with equal CGPA from different universities have different calibre. 

With this email, I would like to float a resolution, that the admission in PhD should be the discretion of a university rather than HEC, i.e. every person who has cleared MS should be able to get admission in PhD provided he/she fulfils the criterion of a particular university. 

kind regards,

-adnan

Re: [pakgrid] SOLAR PANELS / Geothermal Energy

 

Dear all,

AoA!

We usually read something about SOLAR TECHNOLOGY in Pakistan. How about use of Geothermal Energy in Pakistan.

Is there anyone having information about Geothermal plants in Pakistan?

DEAR ALL:

The Chinese panel  are available at 70/watts ranging from 100 watts to 200watts panels.

 

China with all its high production/low cost is not been able to produce more than 1% electricity from solar panels!

We must identify the right application and right place to produce solar based electricity. Unfortunately, no technical survey /mapping/feasibility has been conducted by the govt sector leaving the right application of this technology unattended.AEDB is the organization   having deep rooted corruption and obvious incompetency and national level academic organization are silent spectator on the subject.

Re: [pakgrid] Re: Accessing instructional material on You Tube in Pakistan

 

Br. Anzar,

The issue is not whether or not its possible to access YT by exploiting a loophole, the issue is the governments complete lack of interest in its citizens plight. Behavior like this on their part pushes us to circumventing the law (as you suggest) and consequently the younger generations develop an even more profound disdain for it.

My two cents.

I

Youtube was blocked, me and countless bright students were
