If you want to delete your profile permanently, because you've met someone or the app is simply not for you, doing so is very easy. There's also a "Take a break" option which doesn't delete your profile permanently, but lets you take a break from receiving any new matches. Facebook Dating is Facebook's answer to location-based dating services like Tinder and Bumble. When you create a Facebook Dating profile, your name, age, and the pages and groups you like are carried over to help make a unique dating profile. If you've created a Facebook Dating profile, you may find at some point that you want to delete it. Maybe you've found that you like another dating app better, or maybe you've found that dating apps aren't for you altogether or maybe it's the complete opposite, and you've found someone you really like and you don't need the app anymore. Regardless of the reason, if you want to delete your Facebook Dating profile, it isn't too difficult. Open the Facebook app on your iPhone or Android device. If you select "Take a Break," your profile will not be deleted so you can keep any old matches and conversations, but will no longer be visible on the app. If you'd rather delete your profile completely and erase all data associated with it, select "Delete Profile.” Related coverage from How To Do Everything: Tech : How to disconnect your Spotify account from your Facebook account.

Online therapy is in high demand as coronavirus anxiety drives people to get help without leaving their homes [ARTICLE]

Including virtual therapy practices, seem to be benefit ting as people seek coping mechanisms in the sterility of their own homes. Insider talked to online therapists and virtual therapy organizations about how fears about the virus are affecting demand. As a therapist, Neidich knew she needed to tackle the rising anxiety head-on. "I think this is likely due to the fact that I'm an online therapist exclusively, and people are super anxious but perhaps not wanting to venture out to a practice to meet with someone at this time.” Business Insider talked to other virtual therapy services and found that Neidich's theory seems to hold true. Online therapists are dealing with higher demand and a common worry Alon Matas, the founder and president of the online counseling service BetterHelp told Insider "The number of new members with concerns of stress and anxiety in February more than doubled compared to February of last year.” BetterHelp therapists have reported how coronavirus has increased the level of anxiety with their current clients, Matas said. "We have a strong feeling that people are generally more anxious because of the coronavirus," he said. Talkspace , perhaps the most well-known online and mobile therapy program in part thanks to endorsements from celebrities like Michael Phelps, has seen over 10% growth in requests "And that number is accelerating," a spokesperson told Insider. "This is likely due to coronavirus anxiety as well as traditional therapy patients looking for an alternative that allows them to access therapy remotely," she said. Cheri McDonald , a psychologist in Westlake Village, California, who specializes in treating trauma , said that while she hasn't seen an increase in requests for virtual appointments, 100% of those who've had either virtual or in-person visits scheduled have brought up the coronavirus. How to deal with coronavirus-related anxiety Outside of seeking therapists' help, virtually or otherwise, coronavirus-related stress can be managed in part by setting parameters around how much you read about or watch news about the issue, Julie Pike , a clinical psychologist in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, who specializes in anxiety disorders, previously told Insider. Too much exposure, especially from sketchy sources, can make consumers overestimate threat and underestimate their coping abilities, which is a recipe for anxiety. McDonald tells clients who are worried about potential outbreaks in their communities or homes that they already have the tools to protect themselves: They can wash their hands frequently and thoroughly, avoid people who are sick, and follow other public-health recommendations. "If you're feeling anxiety, lean on each other," she said, adding that feeling connected and supported is good for the immune system.

Cash could be contributing to the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, according to the World Health Organization. The WHO told the Telegraph that the coronavirus could remain on money for days after being exposed to it, and that people should avoid touching their face after handling cash. "We know that money changes hands frequently and can pick up all sorts of bacteria and viruses and things like that," a WHO spokesperson told the Telegraph. "We would advise people to wash their hands after handling banknotes, and avoid touching their face.” In a statement to Business Insider, a WHO spokesperson said that "People should wash their hands or use a hand sanitizer after handling money, especially if they are about to eat or before handling food.” The Mayo Clinic says that viruses tend to last longer on hard surfaces like plastic and metal than on soft surfaces like fabric US dollars are a blend of paper and fabric but says that factors like temperature and humidity impact how long a virus sticks around on surfaces. China said in February that it would destroy and disinfect cash from hospitals, buses, and markets in areas severely impacted by the coronavirus. The UK-based Telegraph reported that the Bank of England said it would not follow China's plan and disinfect cash. The US Treasury Department did not respond to a request for comment.

Speaking at a meeting with stakeholders within the creative industry in Accra on Tuesday, he said this would enable organisers to get access to policy makers and relevant stakeholders to solicit their input for the development of the sector. "Ghana Cultural Day is celebrated on the 14th of March every year this year we are bringing a little change and that is, we are starting from the 12th and everything would be climax on the 14th of March, to commemorate the day."The main event is a symposium and that requires that we get policymakers and stakeholders of the entire creative industry but because the 14th is on a weekend, we felt that the day won't be appropriate hence, the symposium would be done on the 12th of March at the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in Accra," he said.

Tesla quietly downgraded the chips for some Model 3 vehicles because of coronavirus and owners are furious [ARTICLE]

https://ocdn.eu/pulscms-transforms/1/T6ektktTURBXy9mZDQ4MjdhZi00N2EzLTRjMmItOTQ2NC01MmIzMzk0NmU3ODEucG5nkZMFzQSwzQJ2
The discovery was made after some customers noticed a mismatch between the part number printed on a sticker inside the car and the Model 3's information sheet. Tesla apologized for the confusion and said supply chain problems caused by the coronavirus meant it was shipping units with the old chip. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Tesla owners in China noticed a surreptitious change to their Model 3 vehicles last week. The electric carmaker quietly started selling Model 3s with an old version of its control chips due to supply chain problems caused by the coronavirus outbreak, Nikkei Asian Review reports. Tesla didn't alert new buyers to the chip downgrade, and it only came to light after owners spotted the part number printed on stickers attached to the control unit inside the car didn't match up with the Model 3's information sheet. The new chip is meant to be 21 times faster than the old one, according to a Tesla WeChat post unearthed by Nikkei. "We are deeply sorry for the confusion we have caused to some Tesla owners," the company said in a statement on Chinese social media platform Weibo. Tesla also said it would provide free hardware upgrades to customers once production picks back up. Tesla was forced to temporarily shut down its new Shanghai factory on January 29 for ten days. After the Nikkei article went live, Elon Musk tweeted saying the customers who had complained hadn't ordered Full Self-Driving. Tesla's FSD feature generally adds $8,000 to the cost of a Model 3. As Nikkei noted, this statement seems to contradict Tesla's statement that it will upgrade the chip for any customers affected for free not just the ones who have ordered their cars with FSD. Business Insider has asked Tesla for clarification. NOW WATCH: Watch Google reveal the new Nest Mini, which is an updated Home Mini.

Chinese surveillance giants blacklisted by Trump’s administration are set to appear at a major US security trade show [ARTICLE]

https://ocdn.eu/pulscms-transforms/1/P6BktktTURBXy9kZTg4M2U1Mi1mNTBhLTQwMTktYmMzNS1iZjJjNjZkNzAxZWEucG5nkZMFzQSwzQJ2
The number of Chinese companies exhibiting would have been much higher had it not been for the novel coronavirus outbreak, which forced numerous planned exhibitors to pull out of the conference. Researcher Sam Woodhams says the companies' presence at the trade fair suggests recent US efforts to sanction Chinese tech firms have fallen short. Chinese surveillance companies blacklisted by the US are openly touting their technologies to the American and international market, despite criticism for human rights abuses and alleged snooping. A new report from security researcher Samuel Woodhams at Top10VPN reveals that several Chinese companies, including two currently on the US Department of Commerce's official trade blacklist and two more with close links to Huawei, are due to exhibit at a major US trade show later in March. American companies are forbidden from doing business with blacklisted companies unless they have a special license from the government. The companies' presence at ISC raises questions about how effective the US ban really is, and how it applies to US subsidiaries of Chinese companies. Woodhams told Business Insider: "That several companies with problematic human rights records will be free to promote their invasive technologies to US security professionals raises significant concerns about creeping surveillance across the US and attests to the lack of human rights safeguards in the security industry more broadly."Further, the number of Chinese companies and their American subsidiaries that continue to feature in US security trade fairs suggests that recent efforts to decouple the American and Chinese technology sectors have had limited success. In the case of Dahua, the company seemed to revel in the Commerce Department's sanction. A spokesman for the Bureau of Industry and Security told Business Insider that participants at a trade conference would have to comply with the export restrictions imposed on companies on the list. The spokesman didn't give further clarification, but this suggests blacklisted companies are free to advertise their wares in the US as long as they don't strike deals with American businesses without the proper approvals. Two firms with close connections to Huawei are exhibiting Also present at the event will be two companies with close ties to phone and equipment maker Huawei, the most high-profile Chinese company to be placed on the entity list by the Trump administration. The US and Huawei have been engaged in a fierce political dogfight for more than a year, and the Trump administration has been heavily lobbying allies to freeze out Huawei's 5G equipment from national networks on the grounds the company spies for the Chinese government. The first of the Huawei-linked companies is wireless tech company Quectel. Quectel has been an official partner of Huawei's since at least 2017 , but more recently in February 2020 the two companies announced a partnership along with several other companies to "launch 5G industrial modules. The list of Huawei-linked companies would have been higher, Woodhams reports, but the majority of Chinese companies originally slated to appear at ISC pulled out due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

Amazon is telling employees at its Seattle HQ not to come into the office because of the coronavirus, as Washington becomes the worst-hit state in the US [ARTICLE]

https://ocdn.eu/pulscms-transforms/1/4YuktktTURBXy82NzdhNDljMy1mNWI1LTRiNDMtYWM0Zi05ZDQzYzAxZjc0YmIucG5nkZMFzQSwzQJ2
It came the same day the company confirmed that an Amazon employee in the area had tested positive for the virus. Amazon issued the work-from-home guidance in an internal email on Wednesday, seen by The Seattle Times and GeekWire. It said that any employee based in Seattle or nearby Bellevue who can work from home should do so until the end of March a period of almost four weeks. The email acknowledged that not everyone can easily work from home, and advised employees to talk to their managers to work out if it was practical for them to do so. The message said: "every team is different and not all work may be conducive to working from home, so please talk with your manager and your team to establish expectations on working remotely. The Guardian obtained a company internal memo earlier Wednesday that confirmed an employee had tested positive and said that any employees who worked physically near to that person had been notified. That memo said that the employee went home sick on February 25, and had not returned to the company's offices since. It also said that the employee worked in an Amazon location called the Brazil Building, one of the more than 40 buildings that makes up the company's Seattle headquarters. It is separate from the building made up of three glass spheres that is the company's most distinctive presence in the city. Amazon's guidance cited guidance from health officials in Washington state, the state hit hardest by the coronavirus. The virus has killed 11 people in the US so far, 10 of which were in Washington. Worldwide it has killed almost 3,300 people, the vast majority in China. Facebook and Microsoft have given similar guidance to their employees in the city.
