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. Best, The Yahoo Groups team     Privacy Policy | Terms of Service | Customer Support 701 First Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94089 ©2020 Yahoo

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

Improvements to our Privacy Policy and Privacy Controls

Gr8playboy@gmail.com This month, we're updating our Privacy Policy to make it easier for you to understand what information we collect and why we collect it. We've also taken steps to improve our Privacy Checkup and other controls we provide to safeguard your data and protect your privacy. Nothing is changing about your current settings or how your information is processed. Rather, we've improved the way we describe our practices and how we explain the options you have to update, manage, export, and delete your data. We're making these updates as new data protection regulations come into effect in the European Union, and we're taking the opportunity to make improvements for Google users around the world. Making our Privacy Policy easier to understand Simpler structure & clearer language We've improved the navigation and organization of the policy to make it easier to find what you're looking for. We've also explained our practices in more detail and with clearer language. New descriptive videos & illustrations Often a visual description is easier to understand than text alone, so we've added short videos and illustrations throughout the policy. Embedded privacy controls We've made it easier to jump to key settings directly from the policy, helping you make choices about your privacy. The revised policy is available here and will take effect on May 25, 2018. Improving your privacy controls Within the past year, we updated My Activity so that you can better access and manage the data in your Google Account. We also launched a redesigned Dashboard, which allows you to easily see an overview of products you're using and your data associated with them. This month, we've updated our Privacy Checkup with new illustrations and examples to help you make more informed choices about your key privacy controls. And since we understand that your preferences may change over time, the new Privacy Checkup enables you to sign up for regular reminders to check your privacy settings. To learn more about these and other controls to manage your privacy, visit your Google Account. © 2018 Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 This email was sent to gr8playboy@gmail.com to provide an update about your Google Account.

How to Stop Doing What you Hate and Start Doing What You Love RIGHT NOW

Dear Visitor, You're in the middle of something, aren't you? Sorry to interrupt. Is it something you like?  I hope so. Do you know it's possible to do something you hate for years? Because you think you "have" to? Well, let me tell you about such a time in my life and how I changed it all up. It all just happened... Without using any eclipse metaphors, let me say that I'm in the process of shutting down a business that I started five years ago next month. I was ready to shut it down three years ago, frankly. Never liked it much. Stymied my ability to use my greatest skills. It totally separated me from myself. Won a top ten multi-million-dollar award from the local association and still struggled to make the business pan out or enjoy it.  I noticed only recently that there's a four-year gap in my personal journal that exactly coincides with running this business.  Four years. No entries. …Where did I go? Finally, after much back-and-forthing, I decided that I could just…stop. [Read more, if you want to stop doing what you hate...] (P.S., I'm doing this now:) Oh! And if you want to get in on me secret writing cabal, make sure you read the rest of the blog post! Wishing you every possibility!

5 Ways to Avoid Unintended Consequences from Your Actions

 

Dear Visitor, This year, my husband Michael and I are planning a very long trip in an RV.  A fifth wheel, to be precise.  About a month ago we traded in one of our vehicles for the truck we will use to pull it.  It's a Dodge Ram 3500.  White, with black trim.  It's huge, and it's gorgeous. Until getting behind the wheel for a test drive at the dealership before we bought it, I'd never driven a truck before in my life.  Michael said I handled it beautifully, but I know I'll have a case of nerves every time I take it out until I feel I've mastered it. The fear of being the first to ding the beautiful beast has made me not-so-anxious to drive it. And then this happened. Michael and I were backing out of our own driveway, talking about the lawn as we went.  Is the fertilizer watered in enough yet to mow?  We've watered it three times, etc.  The proximity alarm went off, which we apparently ignored, because we were interrupted by a crunching sound coming from our rear and the body feel of a collision.  Michael, who was driving (Thank you, Lord!), swore, and threw the truck into drive to pull it off the vehicle parked at the curb across the street.  "Arrgggh!!  I don't how many times I said to myself that I need to go talk to Dan about asking those workmen not to park right across from our driveway!" In our 11 years together, he's never had an accident.  (It's possible that he might actually be human, but it will probably take more than a fender bender to convince me he's not perfect.)  The chances of it happening were slim to none, in my mind. I had concluded that it would be me, somewhere in a campground far, far away, that would do the first damage. In thinking back on how both of us had been in the truck and neither of us noticed the impending doom, I would almost swear to you that the proximity alarm had not gone off.  I can't remember hearing it at all.  Of course, I've also been training myself lately not to backseat drive.  If you intend to cross the country with someone else you love primarily behind the wheel, you'd best learn to keep your driving instructions to yourself, or face the consequences. Now I'm reconsidering.  When we add that 37' trailer to our rear, there'd better be two people looking!  Not just sitting in the truck, but actively monitoring our surround.  Today I found an article on the BBC travel site that would have helped us with this.  And it gives us our first tip for avoiding the mistakes, missteps and misactions that slow us down, diffuse our energy, cause us emotional pain and otherwise take us off our path.  How can we call our attention to the most important things that are before us, and take our minds off those things that are ancillary to our course or downright debilitating? 1.      Shisa Kanko. From the Japanese, meaning "checking and calling," a very deliberate review of the necessary steps to successfully achieve your goal. You may not feel like you need to run down a pre-flight checklist before you get in your car, but one sure would have helped us avoid our tragic little accident.  Will we have a checklist once we're hooked up to our RV and on the road?  You betcha. What would your shisa kanko list be for getting to your revenue number this year, or completing a creative endeavor, for example?  What are your necessary steps? 2.     Thanking.  Again, from the Japanese culture.  If you haven't listened to Tim Ferris' interview with Marie Kondo, Japan's great organizer, it's not only melodious to the ear (Marie speaks in Japanese via interpreter), but grounding as well.  Marie shares her culture's tradition of thanking items for their use and service before discarding them, which she says makes it easier to let them go.  When next going through your closet you might give the practice a try.  You might also consider the concepts, behaviors and attachments that once served you but no longer do.  If you know you have a tendency to cut your fingers when chopping vegetables, for example, might it behoove you to learn to chop your veggies differently?  And I might possibly be speaking from experience here… ;o)  Need some help cataloguing things you might be thankful for?  Try the Happier app, which will also immerse you in a positive, grateful environment of fellow users.  Ever made a mistake because you were lost in your own miserable thoughts?  I thought so. 3.     Morning Rituals. What better way to make sure we're doing the right actions that will create our desired consequences than to start each day off with rituals that reinforce what we intend to create? Fabulous is an app that can help you build those morning rituals and walk you through them every morning according to your predesignated timing.  (Sadly, the Fabulous app is not yet available for iOS users, but you Google users will be thrilled.)  Bedtime rituals are helpful, too, preparing you for sleep and for a jump start in the morning. 4.     Body Management.  Something as simple as dehydration can throw you right of your game.  Hunger, oncoming illness, recent injury…all these things put us slightly off balance, and will niggle in the background until we do something to create more comfort for ourselves.  For example, I just changed chairs because my butt was asleep. (What?  Your butt doesn't ever fall asleep? Come on.)  5.     Emotion Awareness.  I remember once being so agitated as I went about my day that I finally sat down and said to myself, "Okay, Kim.  What's going on?"  Within a few minutes, I was sobbing.  Recent events were clearly taking their toll, yet I was still soldiering on as if nothing was wrong.  Denying your own state of being is a truly bad habit.  I have made some major blunders under such circumstances, damaging vehicles, relationships and even myself because I chose not to be present to my own angst. I now regularly check in with myself if I'm feeling wonky before it all goes off the rails.  Here are two guidelines I recommend to clients working through my coaching process: #1), be kind to yourself.  And #2), be kind to yourself!  You only have one you.  Treat you with the respect you deserve! I hope these ideas will help you to move forward on your journey today!  If there's a particular challenge you're facing, please share by replying to this email, and I'd be happy to reply back with some ideas that might help you break through them and get back to Amping It Up!  In possibility— Kim Romaner Author: The Science of Making Things Happen: Turn Any Possibility into Reality On Audible Follow me on Twitter: @kmromaner On Facebook: The Science of Making Things Happen
