become an integral part of our lives today, and living without it isn’t easy.
For this reason, more people are having home internet installed so that they
stay connected at all times. The office also feels empty without the internet,
as most operations require a network. The gadgets that we have in the market
today are all internet-enabled such that you need an internet connection, and
you are good to go.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To have internet in your home or office, you need a little
gadget called a router –
a piece of hardware that acts as the gateway to the internet. It connects your
local network, whether at home or office, to the internet. It also acts as a
firewall or security to protect your system from internet intruders.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The router is
the central point of a home network, and you can set it up using the following
steps:<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Inspect the Internet Connection</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">When you want to set up a router in your home or office,
there is always a chance that you have an active internet connection. Make sure
to check for the internet signals on your modem or the gateway that your ISP
(Internet Service Provider) uses to supply you with the internet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Checking for connectivity signal is important because it
will make the entire setup process frustrating when the signal is low. You may
mistakenly think you have a faulty router, which may not be accurate. Checking
your internet status is simple; plug in an ethernet cable
to your modem then directly to your desktop or PC, confirm there is
an internet connection, and then set up a router.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Connect the Router</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Once you have confirmed that you have access to the internet
and the signal is strong enough, you will need to do a physical setup of
your router to
get things running. Routers have labeled ports that make it easy for you to set
it up without a technician’s help. Most routers come with a manufacturer’s
manual, documentation on how to set up the router. Even if you have knowledge
of router set up, you can still take note of the documentation for any vital
information you may not be having. Most routers come with a labeled port where
you have to connect to a micro-filter and your phone line.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, modern routers come with an inbuilt
micro-filter, so you only have to connect your router to your modem via the WAN
port. Before joining any cables to the router or modem, make sure these two
devices are not connected to power. Switch off the power, connect the wires,
turn on the power, allow the modem and router to power up, and check for a
single indicating a strong connection in both the modem and router.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Change the Router Configurations</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">All routers come
configured by the manufacturer, but you can change these configurations from
the router’s interface. First, you need to access the interface on your laptop
through a browser. The reason for this is because routers come configured with
a default IP address and password, and once you set it up, you may want to
change that to keep your network secure. The network administrator changes the
IP address and sets up a new password from the router’s management interface.
Once on the interface, the admin will have to change the default IP address,
password, SSID, and assign a new security protocol. Most routers configure
security through WPS, a WI-Fi Protected Set-up but since you want total control
of your network, instead of WPS, click “manual” to easily change the security
settings. Once done, disconnect your laptop and reboot to gain a wireless
connection to the internet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Allow Network Sharing</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Configuring the router is
not the end; you need to allow the people in your network to access the
internet and be able to communicate with each other. Set up a user-friendly
network sharing group, where computers on the network can share files and other
gadgets like printers and scanners. Creating this space makes sharing data much
more manageable. No one within the system can change the configurations unless
they are permitted; other people cannot share data unless they have access.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Connect your Devices</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">One significant benefit of a router is that you don’t need
an ethernet
cable to access the internet. With a router, you can access the
internet via Wi-Fi or wireless connection. Once the router is set up, and all
configurations are done, it is now time to connect to the internet and browse
away. All the devices that are Wi-Fi enabled can access the password-protected
internet by entering the password. Other devices like printers, TV or phone can
be connected to the router using an ethernet cable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Don’t Forget the User Accounts</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">User accounts are especially important in an office setup
where there are several computers on the same network. The network admin will
need to assign every user a unique username and password to access the devices
on the same network, like printers. Having a user account will also help the
network admin know who is accessing the system and what time. User accounts are
important because not everyone in the network should have access to all the
documents therein. Therefore, it becomes easy to share information with the
relevant parties, instead of bombarding everyone with data that they do not
need.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Guide to the Best Router</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is hard for a beginner to select the best router that
delivers reliable internet because most routers are described with acronyms
that a newbie may not understand. Here are tips for finding the best router
that meets your needs and budget.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Processor:</b> Find a router that has a multi-core
processor and at least 128MB RAM. Considering the kind of activities people use
the internet for, like live streaming and downloads and gaming and data back-up,
you need a router with high processing power. The efficiency of your router
depends on its processor.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Frequency:</b> the frequency in which your router
processes and transfers data is essential. Single-band routers are outdated so
find one that is double-band and above. The benefit of a dual-band is that it
is compatible with all networking and covers a wide area.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Features:</b> Look out for a router that offers
security features like firewalls and antivirus, among others. You need a router
that guarantees your data is safe and secure from internet fraud and attacks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Routers are
the center of communication between the internet and your devices, at home and
the office. It also provides a safety mechanism to keep you secure from hackers
and other internet fraudsters. For efficient performance, research on the best
routers that will meet your needs and the one within your budget. Routers offer
you the flexibility of accessing the internet without connecting your device to
an ethernet
cable.<o:p></o:p></p>Geoffrey Nevinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15269789775926439146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212830880494439957.post-66394821410836413072024-03-14T12:42:00.000+03:002024-03-14T12:42:24.006+03:00List Of Best Computer Hardware & Software Solutions Providers In Kenya<div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiP2LsZyuASpXFs4Gk4kx9axvqqlmX-mD4vzUwxCAp7FcoeR74RbStN46TKVrn3WihNaiOBJN9ecaWtufWABb60HiTMF0sL_7wxIzfku0-d_aRcZdKTIke6jLQOGYDdJYbLrBXlaZUgPt3fMtZHE_0r2cR2X8spHK5CT9Jc7UO41MxgtBsl7Erp5Agi=s728" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="List Of Best Computer Hardware & Software Solutions Providers In Kenya" border="0" data-original-height="599" data-original-width="728" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiP2LsZyuASpXFs4Gk4kx9axvqqlmX-mD4vzUwxCAp7FcoeR74RbStN46TKVrn3WihNaiOBJN9ecaWtufWABb60HiTMF0sL_7wxIzfku0-d_aRcZdKTIke6jLQOGYDdJYbLrBXlaZUgPt3fMtZHE_0r2cR2X8spHK5CT9Jc7UO41MxgtBsl7Erp5Agi=s16000" title="List Of Best Computer Hardware & Software Solutions Providers In Kenya" /></a></div>This is a list of the best computer hardware & software solutions providers in Kenya. The list mainly focuses on firms that sell, repair, and offer installation services for computer parts, peripherals, and software applications. <br /> <div>Below is a list of the best computer hardware and software solutions providers in Kenya.<div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">But First, See Factors to Consider When You Choose a Computer Repair Provider</h2><br />When it comes to repairing your computer or laptop, choosing a computer repair service can make or break the deal. There’s no dearth of people complaining about their computer being inefficiently handled by the repairing team, and because of that their small problem turned into larger, irreparable damage.</div><div> <br />In most cases, this happens when you choose the computer repair provider without doing homework.<br /><br />So here in this article, we’ve compiled five key factors which you should consider when you’re on the hunt for the right computer repair company for you.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Company Existence and History</h3><br />Before you hand over your computer to a repair agency, make sure to check its market existence and history. Consider how long they have been in computer repair operation. The longer the duration, the more efficient their service tends to be. It also depicts the company’s consolidation in the segment and its robust portfolio.<br /><br />Also, you should have a look at their growth over the years. New service expansions over time mean they are confident of their infrastructure and their ability to deliver quality computer repair service. If not sure how to do this, then a mere Google Search could answer most of your queries.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Reputation </h3><br />Once you’re sure of their experience and expertise, check if they’ve well-handled their customers. No better way to testify this than looking into their reputation, online as well as offline. <br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Voyage through the online reviews and testimonials from its previous customers. Understand their level of customer satisfaction and the types of services they are capable to render. </li><li>Check with your friends, or colleagues if they have ever dealt with this particular company. Their feedback would be crucial to get further insight into their service quality. </li><li>If possible, visit their physical store or call their customer care center. Have a discussion with the staff or repairer personally to comprehend their knowledge, skill, and expertise. </li></ul><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Warranty</h3><br />Warranty from a repair company assures you of their products quality and service, to quite an extent. It brings you peace of mind knowing that if rectified issues reoccur within the warranty period, you can get them resolved free of cost. This strengthens your belief that the computer repair service provider is worth trying. Most often, the warranty covers the parts and repair service.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Location of the Service center </h3><br />Location is another factor that smart people consider before opting for a repair service, and rightly so. Geographical proximity always puts you at ease, whether you like to inspect the company’s facilities and service up close or meet the service provider face-to-face to know their best offers. Besides, many people don’t feel comfortable explaining their issues over chat or phone. <br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Turnaround Time</h3></div><div><br />Today, most of us can’t afford to keep our laptop/computer away for long, due to their regular use in professional and personal chores. So, when we give them to a repair company, we simply wish to get it back, repaired of course, as soon as possible. Don’t we?<br /><br />While the turnaround time depends on the problem, a good computer repair service provider always strives to save your time through prompt response and timely service.<br /><br />Before you decide on a company, make a call and check its turn-around time to sort the specific issue you’re facing.

<p class="MsoNormal">You can also visit websites that are entertaining by simply

browser window.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>4. Learn a new skill or hobby by browsing online

institutions from around the world.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>5. Check your social media accounts and see what everyone
is up to</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
Snapchat, Tumblr, Google+, and Pinterest allow you to keep track of your
friends and family members.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can also like or comment on their posts and share photos
and videos with them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>6. Participate in online discussions</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Take part in exciting discussions about various topics by
joining an online community or forum.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can discuss your thoughts and opinions with others who
share your interests and start the conversation by simply making a post.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>7. Organize your files or download new software for your
computer</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whether you’re looking for a new screensaver, antivirus
software, or other types of programs and apps, there’s no shortage of options
available on the internet. You can also organize your files by renaming them to
make them easier to find later.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>8. Listen to music, audiobooks, or podcasts while you
work</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you like listening to music or audiobooks, one of the
best ways to enjoy them is playing them while you work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is especially true if what you’re working on requires
some concentration. You can also listen to podcasts while working on learning
something new.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>9. Edit photos using free online tools</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Did you know that you can edit photos using free online
tools? This is a great way to turn a regular photo into something spectacular
if you have the necessary skills. Plus, it doesn’t require any expensive
software or equipment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>10. Create an image slideshow of your favorite pictures</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ever wanted to create a slideshow of your favorite
photographs but don’t know how?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The good news is that you can easily create one by uploading
all of your images to a website like Slideshare.net and then embedding them
into a blog post or web page.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>11. Try Online dating</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another option is to try online dating. This allows you to
meet people who share similar interests and wants in life. There’s nothing
wrong with putting yourself out there and trying something new.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>12. Find free stuff or things for sale</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the hunt for free stuff, items to sell, or pets that need
a home? Type in some keywords like “free stuff,” “items for sale,” or “pets
looking for a home” into an internet search engine, and you’ll be surprised by
all the results that pop up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>13. Explore Reddit</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Reddit is one of the most popular websites on the internet
that allows people to share their thoughts, photos, and videos with others.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can also create your subreddit if you want to start a
conversation about a particular topic or participate in an already existing
one.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>14. Start a blog</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ever want to start your blog but don’t know how? It’s
straightforward to do. All you need is an internet connection, a domain name,
and some hosting service (a place to store all of your files). You can easily
create one using WordPress or Blogger.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>15. Research for online business ideas</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you’re looking for online business ideas, it’s best to
conduct some research first. You can write down your potential ideas on a piece
of paper and then look them up on the internet to see if there are already
doing something similar.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>16. Watch movie trailers</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Movie trailers can be a lot of fun to watch, especially when
you want to get a sneak peek at what will be playing in theaters or if you’re
trying to decide which movie to watch on a Friday night.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They also show you the best clips from films and TV shows
along with some behind-the-scenes footage of how they were made.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>18. Browse Pinterest</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Pinterest is a great way to find new recipes that you can
cook for dinner, discover some interesting facts, and even get fashion inspiration
from people worldwide.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s a trendy social media website, so you should create an
account if you don’t have one already.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>19. Try out new products or read product reviews by
searching for them online</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you want to try new products or read product reviews, you
need to search for them online.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many websites allow people to post their thoughts on
different items and brands. Make sure you look at both positive and negative
reviews before making a purchase.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>20. Read the news in other countries to see what’s
happening beyond your borders</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you often feel like there’s nothing to read in the news
because all of it looks pretty repetitive?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why not broaden your horizons by reading about what’s
happening in other countries? You might discover something interesting that
most people aren’t even aware of.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>21. Find out if any companies are hiring</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you’re looking for a new job, it would be in your best
interest to look online for hiring companies. This allows you to apply to
multiple jobs simultaneously without wasting much time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>22. Look up an interesting topic on Wikipedia</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wikipedia is one of the best resources to use when you want
to learn about something new, especially if it’s an obscure topic that most
people don’t know much about.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>23. Learn how to code</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you’re interested in programming or learning how to code,
many different websites offer free tutorials and classes online. Codecademy is
one of the most popular websites for this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>24. Things to Do When Bored on Computer: Shop Online</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Who needs to go all the way out to the mall when you can
easily shop for clothing, shoes, and even furniture online?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many websites offer free shipping by giving away promotional
deals, so it’s best to look for this before purchasing. You can find almost
anything on there, from fashion clothes to toys for your dog.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>25. Travel the world through Google Earth</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Google Earth is a virtual globe that allows you to visit
almost any country on the planet. You can zoom in on maps and see images of
places that you might not ever get the chance to experience first hands such as
Mount Everest or Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.<o:p></o:p></p>

<br /><p class="MsoNormal">April is Autism Awareness
Month. First observed in 1972 by the Autism Society, Autism Awareness
Month is meant to call attention to the condition itself and promote acceptance
and inclusivity of the individuals whose lives it effects.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this article, we explore what autism is and what you can
do to raise awareness, promote acceptance, and support the community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>What is Autism?</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Autism, also known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a
complex condition characterized by neurodevelopmental delays, difficulties
communicating, and impairment in social interactions. Autism is considered a
spectrum because each person experiences the condition in a unique way.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Though there is a common set of criteria that define ASD,
there is no single way in which these characteristics are expressed. For
instance, one child may display no outward indications of ASD while another may
require significant assistance with everyday tasks, making their condition more
observable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Common signs of ASD include (1):<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Reduced
eye contact<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Lack
of facial expressions<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Does
not engage in imaginative play<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Repeats
words, phrases, or movements<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Hyperactivity
or inattentive behavior<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Obsessive
interests<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Delayed
cognitive, movement, and/or language skills<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is no cure for autism, but there are many therapeutic
and educational resources that can help alleviate the challenges associated
with the condition. Common treatment methods include Applied Behavior Analysis
(ABA), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Occupational Therapy, Speech
Therapy, Physical Therapy, and early childhood intervention.(2)<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Why is Awareness Important?</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">People often assume a person with autism is
“high-functioning” or “normal” if they are able to speak and interact with the
world in a relatively easy way. Conversely, people also assume that a person
who doesn’t speak or who requires substantial every day support is abnormal or
incapable of expressing themselves meaningfully. This is the stigma that Autism
Awareness Month aims to erase.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Individuals with autism are just that—individuals. They come
in all shapes and sizes, with likes, dislikes, skills, and challenges.
Promoting Autism Awareness Month is a way to celebrate the individuality of
those who make up the ASD community and let them know they are valued for more
than just their condition.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Considering ASD is one of the most common childhood
disabilities, with 1 in 44 children diagnosed,3 it’s more important than ever
to support and uplift the community through acceptance, inclusion, and
awareness.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>What Can You Do to Help?</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you want to get involved, there are several ways to give
back to the ASD community and work toward a more inclusive world. Here are some
options to consider:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Donate:</b>
If you would like to make a charitable contribution to an organization
that researches ASD or provides support to those with the condition, here
are 20 charities that are worth looking into. Before donating, be sure to
thoroughly research the organization to ensure your contribution is spent
in a way that aligns with your charitable goals.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Participate:</b>
Many organizations have local chapters that host events or need
volunteers. Connect with your local organizations to find out how you can
get involved.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Educate:</b>
One of the best ways to support Autism Awareness Month is to learn more
about the condition and educate those around you. Learning to recognize
autism and the attached stigma is the first step in raising awareness and
keeping the ASD community safe from shame, myths, and assumptions.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Advocate</b>:
Support legislative bills that aim to protect and improve the quality of
life for people with autism. Contact your local representatives to share
your thoughts and express the importance of legislative action.</li></ul><h2 style="text-align: left;">As a community, we can all help make a difference. </h2><br />By promoting awareness, acceptance, and understanding of autism, we can help create a more inclusive and supportive world for individuals on the spectrum. Support can be as simple as learning more about autism and sharing that knowledge with others or as impactful as advocating for policy changes that promote access and equity for individuals with autism.

powerhouses—it's not surprising that they offer several scholarships for
students interested in pursuing computer science and engineering.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because Google has the resources to offer very generous
awards, <b>applicants come up against serious competition when gunning for
one of their scholarships</b>. If you're interested in a Google scholarship,
you should be as prepared as possible if you want to submit a successful
application.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>In this post, I'll explain every major Google award in
detail before giving you tips and strategies for submitting an awesome
application.</b></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Introduction</u></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Google offers seven major scholarships for students who plan
to pursue (or who are actively pursuing) an education and career in computer
science, computer engineering, or a closely related field. Because Google is
constantly seeking to employ people with these skills, it makes sense that they
would encourage talented students to study CS.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In an effort to encourage underrepresented groups to pursue
CS and other technical fields, <b>most of the Google scholarships are
limited to certain populations</b>. Here are the seven major scholarships I'll
cover:<o:p></o:p></p>

<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>How to Win a Google Scholarship</b></h2><div><b>$ads={2}</b></div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most of the awards listed are for current undergraduate or
graduate students, so you may not be quite ready to apply for a Google
scholarship. This is a good thing—<b>the longer you have to prepare for your
scholarship application, the better your chances of success.</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here, I'll cover both long-term strategies (for students who
are in high school/early college) and short-term tips (for students who want to
submit an app during the next scholarship cycle). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Long-Term Strategies<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You might still have a while before you put scholarship
applications together, but that doesn't mean you can't start preparing. These
long-term strategies will help you strengthen not just your Google scholarship
application, but your college apps as well.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Demonstrate Academic Excellence</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There aren't any hard GPA cutoffs when it comes to
qualifying for these awards, but with the intense competition for Google
scholarships, <b>you'll need impressive grades in order to stand out as an
applicant</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of the scholarships listed above have public lists of
scholarship winners which also list the students' college and university. Many
of the schools (at least the ones located in the US) are very competitive with
acceptance rates as low as 5-15%. This gives you an idea of the sort of student
you'll be competing with for these awards<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not all scholarship recipients ended up at ultra-competitive
schools, but your chances of winning an award will be higher if your grades are
comparable to those of the most high-achieving students. <b>I expect
you'll need to have a truly excellent GPA—top 10% in your class, or even top
5%—in order to have a good shot.</b> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Demonstrate Leadership Skills</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many scholarship programs—including Google's—want to invest
in future leaders in their fields. It's important that you show a history of
leadership experience in order to meet this criterion. You can do this by:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Actively
participating in class or at work<o:p></o:p></li>

to lead or take on projects<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Joining
clubs or extracurriculars (especially related to CS) that ignite your
passions and interests<o:p></o:p></li>

</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Working
your way up the ladder (e.g. getting a promotion) at a job or internship</li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Develop Relationships With Educators, Mentors, and
Advisers</b><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>$ads={2}</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All of the scholarships listed above require applicants to
submit a letter of reference. <b>It'll be easier to seek out
letter-writers—and the letters themselves will be more effective—if you've
cultivated relationships with several instructors, mentors, and/or authority
figures</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Seeking out these types of relationships is also helpful for
another reason: it's important to have experienced people around you to guide
you on your academic and career path.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have respect for a particular class or job or
extracurricular activity, your teacher or mentor will come to respect
you—that's step #1. To work on further developing these relationships, you can:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Go
to office hours to ask for extra help on tricky problems or concepts<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Actively
participate in class and work meetings<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Go
to your professors or supervisors with questions that may be outside the
scope of your regular curriculum or job; this demonstrates intellectual
curiosity</li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Commit to Computer Science and Technology</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The large scholarships that Google gives out are serious,
long-term investments in both the futures of student recipients and the future
of computer science and technology. As such, <b>Google wants to make sure
that the awards go to those who are going to stay in these fields</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The longer you've been seeking out an education in CS and
the more projects or learning experiences you've taken on, the more serious and
invested you'll seem to application evaluators. Here are a few ways you can
demonstrate a commitment to CS:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Start
taking any and all available courses in high school<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Work
on programming projects with a mentor in your free time<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Participate
in CS clubs and/or competitions<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Choose
to major in CS or a closely related field (this is a requirement for
Google scholarships)</li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Short-Term Tips<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>$ads={2}</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Even if you haven't been planning long-term to optimize your
Google scholarship applications, there are a ton of things you can do to boost
your chances. Follow these tips to submit a complete, polished, thoughtful
application. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Plan Ahead (as Much as Possible)</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can't exactly throw a complete Google scholarship
application together in one afternoon. For one thing, you'll have to write
several essays and/or short answer questions; for another, you'll have to get
thoughtful letters of reference from teachers or advisers. These things take
time to do well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>I'd encourage you to start putting your application
together about 12 weeks before the due date</b>. This timeline is important for
a couple of key reasons. First, you'll need time to draft your essays, ask a
trusted mentor to review them, and then polish and write up final versions.
Second, it's courteous to give letter-writers plenty of time to come up with
references—ask them if they'd be willing to write for you at the beginning of
this 12-week window (or even earlier).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Invest in Your Essays</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your essays are the one part of your application where the
scholarship committee gets true insight into who you are as an individual—they
won't ever meet you in person, and while reference letters are helpful, they're
still second-hand accounts. As such, you want to make sure your essays are
confident, strong, and polished.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here are some tips for making your essays the best they can
be:<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>$ads={2}</b></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Answer
every part of the prompt</b>. This is especially important for any
technical essays.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Elaborate</b>—don't
just provide a list in response to a question. Evaluators want to see that
you're thoughtful. Yes/no answers will not cut it.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Make
your goals and passions clear</b>. It is very important to application
evaluators that students are invested in, and passionate about, computer
science and technology. There are many students that study CS—why should
you get the scholarship? What do you care about that makes you special?<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">If
you have an opportunity to do so, <b>explain why you started studying
CS</b>, why you want this scholarship, and how this scholarship will help
you (for example, maybe you hope to directly help others or advance
technological progress).<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Craft
a narrative</b>. You want your essays (if you are required to write more
than one) to work together in crafting a cohesive story about who you are
and what you care about. Think critically about two or three important
points that you want evaluators to know about you—all of your essays
should serve to communicate these points.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Don't
be afraid to brag (to an extent)</b>. Bring up any honors, awards, or
accolades if they're directly related to CS. It's helpful to make a list
beforehand of all of your achievements (this is also helpful if you need
to update your CV or resume).<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Demonstrate
humility</b>. As accomplished as you may be, it's off-putting to come
across as arrogant about what you've achieved. Don't be afraid to
(partially) attribute your successes to the guidance, mentorship, and
support of others.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Stay
positive. </b>This is especially pertinent when it comes to essays
asking you about hardships or adversities. It's helpful to speak about
these issues with a frank, honest tone—just make sure to express
positivity about the future.</li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Choose Your Reference Writers Wisely</b><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>$ads={2}</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It's of course important to scholarship evaluators to gain
insight into your own motivations and perspective, but it's just as important
for them to understand how others view you. As such, <b>it's important
that you think strategically about who you ask to write your letter of
reference</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ideal letter-writers will have detailed, glowing anecdotes
showcasing your character, your work (hopefully in CS), and your personal
relationships with others. Letter-writers can be especially effective if they
know you in multiple contexts (e.g. they serve as a mentor but also as a
professor or boss). </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Summary</u></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Google offers seven major scholarships for students all
around the world, but only students who are studying (or plan to study)
computer science or a closely related field will qualify. The seven scholarship
programs are:<o:p></o:p></p>

machine, but finding the perfect appliance from all available options in a vast
market takes work to accomplish. Don't worry! In this article, we have
collected the most essential information you need to make an informed decision
and simplify your laundry routine.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>To start:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal">Look
at your washing habits, space, and budget.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Find
out whether you like a top or front loader, and consider factors such as
capacity feature with energy efficiency spin speed.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Assess
performance and durability levels by reading expert reviews and consumer
feedback.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">Go to the showrooms and see machines physically, or ask
friends for advice or from sales representatives. Once you bear these factors
in mind, it will become easier to identify the most suitable washing machine
that addresses all your needs and offers a trouble-free laundry day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>1. Top-Loaders </b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">In top-load washers, there is a hole at the top where one
puts in and takes out laundry. Such equipment has a vertical drum in which your
laundry is agitated by the central post that places clothes within it to
discard dirt. A more current top-loader will likely have an effective impeller
spilling additional water from clothes. These are typically the least expensive
options. With less cycle time, they are also hard on fabrics and require more
water.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>2. Front-Loaders</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">In contrast to the top loaders, front load washers have a
door at their faces. The drum turns horizontally, lifting and dropping your
clothes lightly in a tumbling movement. This design is space-saving and
energy-efficient. Front-loading machines consume less water and detergent.
They’re also kinder to clothing and extract more water in the spin cycle, decreasing
drying time. The front door creates easy accessibility and stacking. They may
have a longer wash cycle, but their efficiency and output of washing give
front-load machines an edge over modern machines.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>3. Semi-Automatic Washing Machines</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Semi-automated machines are cost-effective options. They
wash the clothes automatically but lack an automatic dryer. Users manually load
clothes from the wash to the spin tub. They are cost-effective, but they need a
much more hands-on approach. It is ideal for individuals with limited budgets
or space. In addition, they provide basic functionality without the premium.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>4. Fully Automatic Washing Machines </b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Such fully automatic machines reduce laundry time by
providing integrated washing and drying. With a single drum, these machines
offer automatic changeover from washing to drying, thus saving time and
trouble. Although these devices are more expensive, they address the needs of
people looking for a complete product that streamlines time and work in terms
of laundry.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Factors to Consider When Shopping For a Washing Machine</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here there are several factors to keep in mind when shopping
for a washing machine:<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>1. Price Range</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Consider your budget first. Find out how much you will pay
for a new washing machine. The size,
energy rating, and intelligent inputs affect the total cost. In terms of
cost saving, choose a smaller or simpler model. The cost of operations is
significant; opt for one to save on water and energy bills.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Consider your budget when purchasing white goods. Several
factors determine the price of washing machines. Luckily, today's machines have
auto-adjusted water levels for load weight. These load weights provide energy
efficiency, which leads to cost and environmental savings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>2. Size</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">The price and energy rating of a washing machine are
influenced by size. Larger units are more expensive and demand a lot of energy
and water.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Make sure that the machine will pass <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/appliances/washing-machines/buying-guide/" target="_self">through your door</a> and leave room in which to use it. Measure
the available space carefully. Also, allow free space for the machine to
accommodate movement and vibration during use. If it gets too crowded,
overheating can happen.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Consider door space, too. If you need additional floor
space, top loader machines may be used. They are top-open, which facilitates
the loading of laundry.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>3. Energy rating</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Consider the <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/top-trending-products/buying-guide/washing-machine-buying-guide-how-to-choose-right-washer-for-your-home/articleshow/96885196.cms?from=mdr" target="_self">energy rating</a> when purchasing a washing machine. The energy
efficiency of the appliances is measured through a standardized process. The
higher the rating, the lower your appliances' energy consumption affects
monthly bills. Ratings run from 'A' (most effective) to G (least efficient).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Energy-efficient washing machines are around the
"C" mark. You should make use of low energy-rated machines in a bid
to conserve consumption and bills as well. Check the energy rating for an
eco-friendly decision whenever you purchase a washing machine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>4. Smart features </b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">The technology of intelligent features has completely
transformed home appliances such as washing machines. The function of Wi-Fi
compatibility is the ability to control and monitor your machine from a
distance using your smartphone. Innovative <a href="https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/washing-machines/article/smart-washing-machines-explained-atSzX5S9PxPE" target="_self">features allow you to monitor</a> wash cycles, quickly identify
errors, and provide a sense of security.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These elements assist you in tracking the state of your
machine's health and energy consumption accurately. Smart-washer apps ensure
that monitoring energy consumption and limiting its use are accessible.
Investing in intelligent features can improve your laundry, making it more
effective and convenient.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>5. Spin Speed</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">The speed at which the spin occurs is a critical but
overlooked factor when choosing between washing machines. It means the speed at
which the central drum turns influences moisture extraction from clothes.
Increasing the spin speed makes the drying process more accessible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nevertheless, very <a href="https://inthewash.co.uk/washing-machines/good-spin-speed/" target="_self">delicate
fabrics might need low spin</a> speeds; therefore choosing a machine that can
vary its speed is necessary. Washing machines typically go from 1200 to 160-
rpm at full speed. Determine the spin speed you want for your budget since
speeds above create an inflated price.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>6. Noise:</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">A silent washing machine is a necessity for most. For
instance, consider the general noisiness of your chosen unit, especially if you
are affected by sounds such as the final spin. Major producers openly give
information about the noise levels. Set the decibel level at 50 and 75dB for a <a href="https://www.ba-repairs.co.uk/the-ultimate-guide-to-choosing-the-perfect-washing-machine/" target="_self">peaceful machine</a>, anything above is noisy. Major brands such
as LG usually implement noise-dampening technology in their products.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>The Throwaways</u></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, finding the ideal washing machine is manageable.
Look into how often you use your laundry machines and the space needed for
installing the washer and dryer. Whatever you decide on the top or front
loader, whether semi or fully-automatic, prioritize energy-efficient and
intelligent features to elevate your laundry routine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Remember to consider spin speed and noise levels according
to your preferences. With a suitable washing machine on your side, laundry day
can become very easy. Therefore, relax, research, and select the right machine.</p>Geoffrey Nevinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15269789775926439146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212830880494439957.post-89810062989049719832024-03-14T07:49:00.005+03:002024-03-14T07:49:39.624+03:00AI and IoT = AIoT: The Power Couple We Didn’t Know We Needed<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoNk7n0R-3SxwYLJzaz7U9I9Od00PCEvkAvevZCUHJ4Z8G67-6jyzVnvaSLTxaaIO8so0Cjhz-CbC-pXT3xH8qVXVCSpeNU0SqIB_IPU5RIO3QK7OYx7BB17rgMj24NBpBkfQu1l-z1gCuTEaS0xjc7GdtbyxV6CGWu7NNqzNBgkP0tUDi1SjAwaLoMrg/s728/1710313064746.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="AI and IoT = AIoT: The Power Couple We Didn’t Know We Needed" border="0" data-original-height="410" data-original-width="728" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoNk7n0R-3SxwYLJzaz7U9I9Od00PCEvkAvevZCUHJ4Z8G67-6jyzVnvaSLTxaaIO8so0Cjhz-CbC-pXT3xH8qVXVCSpeNU0SqIB_IPU5RIO3QK7OYx7BB17rgMj24NBpBkfQu1l-z1gCuTEaS0xjc7GdtbyxV6CGWu7NNqzNBgkP0tUDi1SjAwaLoMrg/s16000/1710313064746.jpg" title="AI and IoT = AIoT: The Power Couple We Didn’t Know We Needed" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal">Speaking of the latest tech making a splash in the business
and IT worlds, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
are frequently top the list. And it's easy to see why they mesh so well
together. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">With data being the lifeblood of AI, the growing stream
generated by connected devices (estimated at a staggering <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1017863/worldwide-iot-connected-devices-data-size/" target="_self">80 zettabytes</a> by 2025) provides the fuel for AI applications
to advance. Individually, AI and IoT are impressive, but when brought together,
they can multiply the benefits companies already reap from investments in these
technologies.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Outperforming traditional business intelligence tools, AI's
ability to analyze data from the IoT is propelling its adoption, with Gartner
predicting a jump from 10% to <a href="https://iot-analytics.com/how-enterprise-iot-market-is-evolving/" target="_self">47% of AI-powered IoT projects</a> by 2027. If you’re as excited
about <a href="https://relevant.software/ai/" target="_self">AI development</a>
as me, let’s examine AI and IoT’s potential to reshape industries.<o:p></o:p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>AI and IoT = AIoT: A Brief Overview</b></h2><p class="MsoNormal">AI and IoT are two of the most transformative technologies of
our time. AI aims to create intelligent machines that can learn and
problem-solve, while IoT connects everyday objects to a network, generating
vast amounts of data. Due to the need to make sense of all that information,
the synergy between AI and IoT was inevitable, and now we're witnessing the
next chapter: AIoT.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">So, AIoT, or Artificial Intelligence of Things, blends the
AI’s analytical capabilities and <a href="https://relevant.software/blog/iot-connectivity/" target="_self">IoT
connectivity technology</a> to create self-operating systems. In practice, it
means that IoT devices powered by AI can not only collect information but
analyze it and take action on the spot. In this duo, AI is the brain that
interprets data and makes decisions, and IoT is the eyes and ears. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">For AIoT to work effectively and without human intervention,
it requires the integration of software, smart devices, and platforms. Here’s
how it works:<o:p></o:p></p><ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal">Sensors
and IoT devices gather information from their surroundings.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">AI
learns the data, searches for patterns, and figures out the context behind
the request.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">AIoT
makes a decision and instructs devices on the actions to take.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">AIoT-driven
devices get smarter proportionally to the data volume they receive. And
this is the moment where the actual connection between AI and IoT takes
place. That’s when AI teaches devices to better distinguish and react to
the information and requests they receive.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ol><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Why Use AI for IoT </b></h2><p class="MsoNormal">The IBM Institute's interviews of the top executives
revealed that 19% prioritize investments in AI and IoT integration due to the
unique benefits this combination brings. So, let’s find out what are those
advantages.<o:p></o:p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Next-level Data Processing</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal">Imagine having a mountain of gold but lacking the tools to
refine it. That's the challenge with the increasing data streams from IoT
devices. AIoT is the solution that can analyze those petabytes of information
gathered by devices with ease. The speed at which AI can turn plenty of data
into practical findings is essential today. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">For example, in manufacturing, long delays in response can
throw off the whole day's work and cost a pretty penny. A network of AIoT
sensors spread throughout a manufacturing facility can monitor machinery for
signs of wear or failure. Because this information is processed instantly, IoT
solutions can respond faster to new events and changes without interrupting
production.<o:p></o:p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Productivity and Efficiency Gains</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal">Well, AI’s main benefit is the automation of those
repetitive tasks that consume precious work hours. With AI-driven <a href="https://relevant.software/blog/iot-architecture/" target="_self">IoT
architecture</a>, you can automate inventory, routing, warehouse management,
and the list goes on while your human talent can shift to more business-critical
tasks. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">What’s more, autonomous AIoT solutions can find
inefficiencies in your operations to fix. Excessive energy consumption that
influences your utility bill or supply chain logistics can be improved for
quicker deliveries and lower emissions.<o:p></o:p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Predictive Maintenance</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal">Imagine knowing exactly when your equipment needs
maintenance. AIoT makes it possible. Sensors collect data, feeding into
AI systems that predict potential failures. This advanced predictive
maintenance prevents costly downtime, extends equipment life, and optimizes
resources. Every industry that heavily relies on complex machinery will see
impressive results, and in energy, Deloitte predicts the reduction of
maintenance costs by 5-10% thanks to <a href="https://relevant.software/energy-solutions/" target="_self">energy
software solutions</a> powered by AIoT.<o:p></o:p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Personalized User Experiences</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal">Amazon is at the top of the game when it comes to making
shopping personalized. Customers admire their AI-driven product recommendations
that anticipate their needs. Constantly improving in this direction, the
company started to use their smart speaker, Alexa learn more about what their
customers like and offer even more relevant products. Yet, here is critical not
to step over the line regarding data privacy.<o:p></o:p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>How AI and IoT Reshape Different Industries</b></h2><p class="MsoNormal">While the most obvious and well-known AI in IoT applications
is about smart household devices (smart homes, thermostats, fridges, etc), I
analyzed the AIoT’s impact on different sectors used in broader ways.<o:p></o:p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Healthcare</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal">Most experts agree that online health monitoring and
prevention is the future of healthcare. Now, doctors don't even need to be in
the same zip code as their patients to keep an eye on their health, thanks to <a href="https://relevant.software/blog/iot-in-healthcare/" target="_self">IoT in healthcare</a>
devices and wearables. It's very handy for keeping up with a patient's health
history.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">IoT and AI also make it easier for doctors to make diagnoses
and catch illnesses early. Already, AI surpasses specialists in identifying
cancer from scans. And perhaps most impressively, AIoT can use the health
information from fitness trackers to predict disease risks and progression.<o:p></o:p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Smart city</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal">Smart cities stand to gain a lot from blending AI with IoT.
Sensors, lights, and other tech solutions driven by AI can make cities safer,
greener, and a better place to live. Here's how AIoT and machine learning could
change the game:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Improve
traffic flow by tweaking traffic lights to cut down on jams<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Better
public safety thanks to AI monitoring systems and devices<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Enhance
urban planning<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Adjust
public transportation services based on citizens’ demands<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Save
power by using it only when and where it's needed<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Plan
for more efficient garbage pickup to keep the streets clean<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Retail</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal">More and more retail stores starting to use smart cameras
with computer vision and facial recognition to spot customers and collect some
information to improve shopper experiences. AI-driven IoT cameras can identify
customers' gender, age, and products they prefer and help retailers enhance the
shopping experience and develop more targeted ads. Amazon Go successfully uses
these technologies in their stores.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">You can see weighty improvements in logistics and supply
chain management, as well. AI and IoT allow you to track goods movements,
predict supply chain issues, and optimize product flow among other things.<o:p></o:p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Manufacturing</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal">Robotics, AI, and IoT are not new technologies in
manufacturing. Many factories have been using them to automate and accelerate
their processes. Take a chocolate factory for example, where they use Siemens'
AI to track the humidity, temperature, and equipment, while deep learning
models identify and fix anomalies. In this scenario, AIoT removes hardware
dependence, allowing factories to:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Swiftly
address issues<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Streamline
operations<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Improve
worker safety<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Save
costs.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Automotive</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal">The roads of tomorrow are paved with AIoT. The car industry
uses a number of AI and IoT applications for vehicle assembly and maintenance.
Today, car manufacturers can predict potential part failures before they happen
thanks to IoT collecting essential details on car health and AI analyzing that
data.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">AI and IoT are also behind one of the exciting developments
- autonomous cars. They receive information from built-in sensors and cameras
to track road conditions, understand driver behavior, and decide the safest
speed to travel. <o:p></o:p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>To Wrap Up</u></b></h2><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal">The future looks quite promising for AI and IoT, especially
when they work together, as we have seen. The IoT and AI blend will undoubtedly
continue to advance and soon become the most popular technology tool for
businesses. As with any technology, earlier adoption gives companies a
competitive edge over their peers. <o:p></o:p></p>Geoffrey Nevinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15269789775926439146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212830880494439957.post-40926168302489079712024-03-14T07:31:00.007+03:002024-03-14T07:31:50.266+03:00How I quit sugar and replaced with Jaggery<div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDP1hDeW5WP4XKZBSfKkJmJfzWnm4zOJBcw1SDQ-Ta9sLnwgHjcG-1xct25J-dPMH4xkyKCNUTo5dBZLmtocrJBqxM3oQTQxJAmAtlXl9lKPa_WA7LIM0VmeoNKQtzK1J6AJl3-8J-8fcEMuAM1mlDNsip9hKhAZTYBaaE-HfhUBkiDTCujFCNt767R-o/s728/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-03-14%20at%2007.12.53_3f7901f5.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="How I quit sugar and replaced with Jaggery" border="0" data-original-height="693" data-original-width="728" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDP1hDeW5WP4XKZBSfKkJmJfzWnm4zOJBcw1SDQ-Ta9sLnwgHjcG-1xct25J-dPMH4xkyKCNUTo5dBZLmtocrJBqxM3oQTQxJAmAtlXl9lKPa_WA7LIM0VmeoNKQtzK1J6AJl3-8J-8fcEMuAM1mlDNsip9hKhAZTYBaaE-HfhUBkiDTCujFCNt767R-o/s16000/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-03-14%20at%2007.12.53_3f7901f5.jpg" title="How I quit sugar and replaced with Jaggery" /></a></div> It has been more than a year since I consumed Refined white sugar or Brown Sugar directly. In fact, we as a family, including my kids, have stopped using sugar in our everyday life. We have adopted the healthier alternative, Jaggery.<br /><br />I have a sweet tooth, and love my tea/porridge strong and sweet! There used to be a time when I used to add 3 spoons of sugar. My older son is no different, he would eat sugar right from the container! Now, as a family, we don’t even stock sugar in our household and have completely adopted Organic Jaggery as a replacement.<br /><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>How did it benefit me personally?</b></h2><br />I have personally benefited from this small change, and would definitely recommend others to try the same too. I dropped about 13 kgs by giving up sugar, in addition to doing exercise regularly, over a period of 4 months. I did not do any other dieting.<br /><br />I feel much more energetic during the day, and can put in a solid 13–14 hours of work, which is required as part of running a start-up. My Immunity in general has also increased.<br /><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Is Jaggery a healthier alternative?</b></h2><br />Jaggery is a wonderful, scrumptious, and healthy alternative to sugar, and has been used in India for centuries due to its amazing attributes and taste.<br /><br />Sugar and Jaggery, both contain 60 calories per teaspoon. Jaggery, being unrefined, is absorbed more slowly. Thus, it doesn’t increase blood sugar levels as rapidly as sugar. Sugar is EMPTY Calories, whereas Jaggery is packed with minerals and nutrients. So it is definitely a healthier alternative. However, If you’re suffering from diabetes, you should avoid Jaggery (just like sugar) in your meals.<br /><br />Jaggery is not addictive. Sugar on the other hand can get addictive.<br /><br />Jaggery is also packed with essential nutrients that work on the body by flushing out harmful toxins and making you burn more calories. It has mineral content approximately 50 times greater than refined sugar and five times more than brown sugar. Just a teaspoon of Jaggery delivers approximately 3–5 mg of calcium, 3–5 mg phosphorous, 6 mg magnesium, and 45 mg of potassium.<br /><br />Jaggery acts as a detox, as it helps cleanse the liver by flushing out nasty toxins from the body. Refined sugar on the other hand is detrimental to the liver. Refined Sugar is half glucose and half fructose. The liver is the only organ that can metabolize fructose. When too much fructose enters the liver, it gets turned into fat that can build up over time and ultimately lead to disease.<br /><br />The potassium in jaggery also helps reduce water retention in the body. Jaggery is loaded with antioxidants and minerals like zinc and selenium, which help prevent free-radicals (responsible for early ageing). Sugar can cause premature aging. It can attach to proteins in the bloodstream, and damage collagen and elastin production, which are responsible for maintaining skin’s elasticity.<br /><br />However, do not go overboard with your jaggery usage! Bear in mind that while Jaggery may have a better nutrition profile than sugar, and is definitely much healthier, it is still made from sugarcane (same as sugar) and is high in calories, and so is best consumed in moderation.<br /><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;">How did we Make the Shift?</h2><br />It took us a while to get used to not having sugar in our diet. But it is very much doable. Take it one step at a time. Initially, use half portion sugar and half portion Jaggery. Slowly keep increasing the ratio of Jaggery to sugar, and once you get used to the taste, make the complete shift. One trick is to avoid stocking sugar at home. You will be forced to work with the healthier alternative!<br /><br />I also feel that since it is an acquired taste, it is important to train your kids young on this. In fact, if you are giving A2 milk to your kids, why do you even need to add sugar or Jaggery to it? The milk by itself tastes so good that there is no need to add any sugar, or even Jaggery for that matter, to make it sweeter. But, for kids who are partial to the sweet taste of sugar, Jaggery is definitely the healthier and safer alternative to switch to, as early as possible.Geoffrey Nevinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15269789775926439146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212830880494439957.post-90665599829348323992024-03-13T18:34:00.009+03:002024-03-14T08:40:58.532+03:00TOP 10 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A LAPTOP<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Y91vZFI6wAJ8NsYrINNK-h9ngqbedrjF5ESV9a81J5gC8oDcYbKhKy1X4c55FNQIFuZAsU8MooCHDzZa9fTGSJsLlggJuYYWlwoPvL6aH2bmlWG7DM8CE5Diye4gjA8bnxeYprMwaorYz8DlZ2xdgTIvLzzDbN_hr7uVno6G0SO6K_SstB8Hdp5TR7s/s728/1705535595630.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="TOP 10 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A LAPTOP" border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="728" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Y91vZFI6wAJ8NsYrINNK-h9ngqbedrjF5ESV9a81J5gC8oDcYbKhKy1X4c55FNQIFuZAsU8MooCHDzZa9fTGSJsLlggJuYYWlwoPvL6aH2bmlWG7DM8CE5Diye4gjA8bnxeYprMwaorYz8DlZ2xdgTIvLzzDbN_hr7uVno6G0SO6K_SstB8Hdp5TR7s/s16000/1705535595630.jpeg" title="TOP 10 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A LAPTOP" /></a></div><p>The web is full of top-10 lists of laptops that serve as a
quick reference to the best work laptops on the market at a point in time.
However, such lists cannot always be referenced to make your buying decisions
because the laptop market regularly has new entrants with better
specifications.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition, many such lists and buying guides contain
sponsored content, so the opinions in such blogs cannot always be trusted. So
if you have limited technical knowledge, selecting a laptop can be a difficult
task, especially since there is a multitude of options available.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thankfully, this laptop buying guide is designed to help you
zero in on a laptop that is perfect for you, keeping in mind hardware, software,
and budgetary constraints.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Here are the top 10 things to consider when buying a laptop:</h2><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>1. FORM FACTOR</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Form factor refers to the size, shape, and other physical
specifications of the laptop. The most common or traditional laptop form factor
is the clamshell. It has a hinge, which can be rotated up to 180 degrees)
connecting the keyboard and the screen.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Touchscreen laptops are laptops that have touch-sensitive
screens. This allows users to interact with the laptop using their fingers or a
stylus, similar to a tablet. Touchscreen laptops are popular for their
versatility and ease of use and can be used for a wide range of tasks, from
general computing to gaming and graphic design.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2-in-1 laptops, also known as convertible laptops, are
laptops that can be used in different modes. They typically have a hinge that
allows the screen to be rotated and folded back, so the laptop can be used in
tablet mode. These laptops are versatile and can be used for drawing and
note-taking in addition to general computing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Convertible and touchscreen laptops tend to have a higher
price point. So at any price point, you can get a set of more competitive specs
in a clamshell compared to a touchscreen or convertible laptop. Another thing
to note is that owing to the added mechanical and software complexity,
convertibles are more prone to software errors.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apart from the cost, your choice of form factor depends on
the kind of work you do. If your work involves drawing things, taking notes,
etc. and you use a tablet for such tasks, then a convertible makes sense
because you will have to carry one less device. 2-in-1 laptops can be used
while on the move or while standing. But clamshells have a better balance on
the lap.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, if your work requires carrying a laptop and a tablet,
then a convertible is a good option for you. Otherwise, the clamshell laptop is
the way to go.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>2. SIZE</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Portability is probably the most important feature of
laptops. Smaller laptops with displays from 11 to 13 inches are more portable
but are more difficult to work on for extended periods of time. Larger laptops
with displays from 14 to 17 inches are more comfortable to work on but are less
portable.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because less space is available in smaller laptops, their
hardware specifications are also limited when compared to larger laptops.
Laptops with 15-inch displays are generally recommended, as they provide a
comfortable working area without being too large and cumbersome.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>3. DISPLAY</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">The display is an important factor to consider when choosing
a laptop for work. The type of display you choose will depend on the specific
tasks you need to perform. For design, development, and coding, a
high-resolution display with good color accuracy is important as it will allow
you to see fine details and work with multiple windows and documents at the
same time.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When it comes to screens, bigger isn’t always better. Screen
size is simply the physical dimensions of the display. A more crucial element
in determining the quality of the display is screen resolution, which refers to
the number of pixels and their density projected onto your display. The higher
the resolution, the more pixels there are and the sharper the image displayed
on the screen.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is important to pay attention to screen resolution
because it impacts how much information you can see on the screen at once. The
higher the resolution, the more information you can see, so the images and
texts will be sharp and clear. On the other hand, if the resolution is low,
text and images will appear blurry at the edges, fuzzy, and hard to read,
leading to eye strain.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While there are a number of display options such as High
Definition (HD), Full HD, Ultra HD, 4K, and 8K resolutions available, for
general office work, a full HD (1920x1080) resolution display is sufficient.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another thing about displays to consider is their type.
Currently, there are three types of displays for laptops, namely, Twisted
Nematic (TN), In-Plane Switching (IPS), and Organic Light-emitting Diode
(OLED). TN displays are cheap, offer high refresh rates, and minimal motion
blur but have poor color reproduction and even worse viewing angles. On the
other hand, OLED screens offer excellent viewing angles, excellent color
reproduction, accuracy, and contrast, but are very expensive. IPS screens offer
the middle ground between quality and cost.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>4. OPERATING SYSTEM</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">When it comes to the operating system for laptops, Windows,
macOS, and Linux are the common options. ChromeOS is another relatively new
operating system developed by Google, but it is primarily designed for use with
web-based applications and cloud storage and it is not as versatile as the
other operating systems.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you decide to go with macOS, then there isn’t much choice
in the hardware and other specifications. You only have to pick your device
from a few available models with fixed specifications. macOS is known for its
intuitive design and seamless integration with other Apple products, but it is
expensive and has limited compatibility with many software and hardware as well
as a lack of customization.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Windows is the most widely used operating system for
laptops. It offers a wide range of features and compatibility with a variety of
software and hardware. Windows offers a good balance of performance and
flexibility, making it a good choice for most types of work. It is also less
expensive compared to macOS.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Linux is an open-source operating system that is developed
and maintained by a community of volunteers. It is generally considered to be
highly customizable and secure, but it is not as user-friendly as the other
operating systems and requires a fair degree of knowledge for effective use.
Therefore, it is not recommended for the average office user.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Overall, Windows and macOS are generally the most popular
options for laptops used for work, but Chrome OS and Linux may also be worth
considering depending on your budget and requirements.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>5. STORAGE</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">HDD (hard disk drive) and SSD (solid-state drive) are the
two main types of storage used in laptops. An HDD uses spinning disks to store
data, while an SSD uses non-volatile memory chips. SATA SSDs and PCIe SSDs are
two specific types of SSDs that differ in their performance and pricing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A SATA SSD connects to the motherboard using the SATA
interface, which is a standard interface used for storage devices. A PCIe SSD,
on the other hand, connects to the motherboard using the PCIe (Peripheral
Component Interconnect Express) interface, which is a high-speed interface
designed for data-intensive devices such as GPUs and SSDs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PCIe SSDs offer much faster performance than SATA SSDs, as
they can take advantage of the higher speeds of the PCIe interface. However,
they are also more expensive, so they may not be an option for all users.
Additionally, PCIe SSDs also tend to use more energy and drain battery life
faster, if the laptop is constantly reading and transferring data.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SATA SSDs offer faster performance than HDDs, but they are
generally slower than PCIe SSDs. SATA SSDs are also less expensive than PCIe
SSDs, making them a good option for users on a budget.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In general, the type of storage you choose will depend
primarily on your performance requirements but also on your budget. If your
work involves demanding tasks or the use of applications that require fast
storage, a PCIe SSD may be worth considering, but it will come at a higher
price.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For most office work, a SATA SSD or even an HDD may be
sufficient, as they will offer faster performance than an HDD without breaking
the bank. However, we do not recommend HDD for laptops because they have a much
higher failure rate than SSDs.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>6. RAM</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">The amount of RAM (random access memory) in a laptop is an
important factor to consider when selecting a laptop for work, as it impacts
the performance of the computer and the speed at which it can run different
applications. In general, more RAM allows the computer to run more programs and
perform more complex tasks simultaneously without slowing down.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For resource-intensive tasks such as graphic design, video
editing, etc., a laptop with at least 8GB of RAM is recommended, as this will
allow the computer to handle large files and complex tasks without slowing
down. For general office work, 4GB of RAM is usually sufficient.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the main causes of “slow laptops” is insufficient
RAM. With every passing year, the applications get more features, files become
larger, and new more demanding technologies emerge. All this puts greater
demand on your RAM. So, if you need a device with 8 GB RAM today, it is very
likely that you will need 12 GB in a couple of years.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, when purchasing a laptop, think in terms of its useful
life. Most experts believe that laptops have a useful life of 3-5 years. The
laptop you purchase today should be able to handle your work during its
lifespan. So it is a good idea to invest in a device with a little more RAM
than you need so that your device stays efficient throughout its lifespan.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>7. PROCESSOR</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">The processor (or CPU) is the brain of a laptop. It is
responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations. When
selecting a laptop for work, it is important to choose a processor that is
powerful enough to handle the tasks you need to perform.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For most general office work, a mid-range processor such as
an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 should be sufficient. However, if you need to
do demanding tasks such as video editing or 3D modeling, you may want to
consider a more powerful processor like an Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7. It's
also worth considering the number of cores the processor has, as more cores can
improve performance for certain types of tasks.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A processor with multiple cores is essentially multiple
processors in one and can improve the performance of the computer for certain
types of tasks. Each core can handle a separate task or thread, so a processor
with more cores can handle more tasks simultaneously without slowing down. This
can be particularly beneficial for multitasking and running multiple programs
at the same time, as well as for certain types of workloads such as video
editing and coding.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, not all tasks will benefit equally from multiple
cores, and some may not benefit at all, so it's important to consider your
specific needs when choosing a processor with multiple cores.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In general, tasks that can be divided into multiple
independent parts can benefit from multiple cores, as each core can handle a
separate part of the task. This can include tasks such as video editing,
complex coding, and certain types of simulations and calculations.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the other hand, tasks that are not easily divided into
independent parts may not benefit from multiple cores, as they may be limited
by other factors such as memory or disk access. This can include tasks such as
basic word processing or web browsing, which may be limited by the speed of the
processor but not necessarily by the number of cores.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>8. GPU / GRAPHICS CARD</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">A GPU (or "graphics processing unit") is a
specialized type of processor that is designed to handle the complex
calculations required for graphics rendering and video processing. In a laptop,
the GPU is typically integrated into the main processor or included as a
separate, dedicated chip.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For most office work, a basic GPU is typically sufficient,
as it will handle the graphics requirements of common office tasks such as word
processing and web browsing. For more demanding tasks such as video editing or
complex graphics work, a more powerful GPU may be necessary. In general, NVIDIA
and AMD are the two main manufacturers of GPUs, and their higher-end GPUs are
typically considered the best for demanding tasks.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For video editing and graphics work, some examples of GPUs
include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 and the AMD Radeon RX 6700. These
GPUs are designed to handle the demanding workloads of professional video
editing and graphics work. They offer fast performance and support for advanced
graphics features such as real-time ray tracing. However, they are also more
expensive than basic GPUs, so they may not be necessary for all users or
applications.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-series GPUs provide excellent overall
performance, but they are also very expensive. If your work does require a GPU,
and the RTX 30-series doesn’t fit your budget, you can go with a GTX 2060 or
RTX 2070 instead.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>9. BATTERY LIFE</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Battery life is an important consideration when choosing a
laptop for work, as it will determine how long you can use the laptop without
needing to recharge it. Longer battery life is especially important for people
who are frequently on the go and don't readily have access to a power outlet.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When looking at battery life, it's important to consider the
rated battery life of the laptop as well as how long the battery will last in
real-world use. The rated battery life is the maximum amount of time the battery
is expected to last under ideal conditions, but in real-world use, it will last
less time depending on how you use the laptop.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Factors such as screen brightness, processor speed, and the
type of tasks you perform all impact battery life. It's also worth considering
the type of battery the laptop uses, as some types of batteries may last longer
than others. In general, lithium-ion batteries are the most common type and
offer good battery life, but there are other options such as lithium-polymer
batteries that may offer even longer life.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The most common type of battery used in laptops is the
lithium-ion battery, which offers a good balance of performance and longevity.
Lithium-ion batteries tend to last longer than other types of batteries,
although their lifespan can vary depending on factors such as how they are used
and how well they are maintained.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another type of battery that is sometimes used in laptops is
the lithium-polymer battery, which is similar to a lithium-ion battery but uses
a different type of electrolyte. Lithium-polymer batteries tend to be lighter
and thinner than lithium-ion batteries and offer longer battery life. However,
they are usually more expensive and not as widely available as lithium-ion
batteries.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For most users, a lithium-ion battery will offer good
performance and battery life, but for users who need the longest battery life
possible, a lithium-polymer battery may be worth considering.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>10. PORTS</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Laptops typically have a variety of ports that allow you to
connect external devices and peripherals. The most common type of port on a
laptop is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port, which can be used to connect a
wide range of devices such as mice, keyboards, printers, and external hard drives.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most laptops have multiple USB ports, and they may also have
USB-C ports, which are a newer type of USB port that supports faster data
transfer speeds and can also be used to charge the laptop.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another common type of port on a laptop is an HDMI (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface) port, which allows you to connect the laptop to a TV or
monitor. This can be useful for watching movies or giving presentations. Some
laptops also have VGA (Video Graphics Array) ports, which are an older type of
video port that is still commonly used with projectors and older TVs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some laptops also have Ethernet ports, which allow you to
connect the laptop to a wired network. This can be useful if you need a stable,
high-speed connection for tasks such as streaming video, transferring large
files, or playing games online.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thunderbolt is a high-speed interface that is used to
connect external devices to a computer. It is similar to the USB interface, but
it is faster and can support a wider range of devices. Thunderbolt ports are
typically marked with a lightning bolt symbol, and they can be used to connect
devices such as external hard drives, displays, and docking stations to a
laptop.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some laptops have Thunderbolt 3 ports, which are the most
recent and fastest version of the Thunderbolt interface and can support data
transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps. Thunderbolt ports are generally considered to
be a useful feature to have on a laptop, as they can allow you to connect to a
wide range of high-speed devices and expand the capabilities of the laptop.
However, they are not as common as USB ports and not available on all laptops.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In general, the specific ports available on a laptop will
depend on the model and manufacturer, so it's important to consider your
specific needs and requirements when choosing a laptop. Having a variety of
ports is useful for connecting to a variety of external devices, but the number
of ports also impacts the size and weight of the laptop. More ports generally
add to the overall bulk of the laptop.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>CONCLUSION</u></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">The plethora of options available on the market makes
choosing the perfect laptop a daunting task. However, by keeping in mind your
specific needs and budget, as well as considering factors such as processing
power, screen size, portability, ports, etc. you can easily narrow down your
options and find a laptop that will meet your needs and help you be productive.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is also important to do your research and read reviews
from other users as it helps you to make an informed decision. But most
importantly, remember to consider the elements listed above and how they impact
your work. With the right laptop, you can take your work to the next level and
enjoy a smooth and efficient computing experience throughout the lifespan of
your laptop.</p>Geoffrey Nevinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15269789775926439146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212830880494439957.post-56088144600501588402024-03-13T18:26:00.000+03:002024-03-13T18:26:37.589+03:00BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BLOGGING IN KENYA<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3yKthVPnqzPqbXsy3O6IwKspBanH3i8-UIn1fqxCZMEmsHQ7jZNSZ7UdRp5u5QK9iTCOg4gh1U1Hver2w3bFtoMuEh7YAV5qa94GH2f9hlMa4tkGpMUtCT7eaftOeClam3RrIZjMnwu8/s728/Blogging.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BLOGGING IN KENYA" border="0" data-original-height="665" data-original-width="728" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3yKthVPnqzPqbXsy3O6IwKspBanH3i8-UIn1fqxCZMEmsHQ7jZNSZ7UdRp5u5QK9iTCOg4gh1U1Hver2w3bFtoMuEh7YAV5qa94GH2f9hlMa4tkGpMUtCT7eaftOeClam3RrIZjMnwu8/s16000/Blogging.png" title="BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BLOGGING IN KENYA" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal">Wondering how to start a blog business in Kenya and earn
online at the comfort of your bed?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are you tired of sleeping on your writing talent and want to
explore the doors that might open through blogging?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or, is unemployment sucking life out of you and you’d
literally do anything to make ends meet?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Well, starting a blog business in Kenya might just be the
life-changing decision you need. It’s so darn simple, it requires very little
capital and you can work from anywhere.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yet honestly, it needs a good amount of smart and hard work.
I’m not gonna lie that you can launch a blog today and start making good money
tomorrow. Anybody who promises you that is the Cabinet Secretary in the
Ministry of Deceit.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But, what I can promise you, just like in any other normal
legal business, a journey of a thousand miles starts with one-step. If you want
to start and grow a successful blog in Kenya, you must<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Be
ready to work hard<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Be
passionate or motivated<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Ceaselessly
learn every day<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Invest
in your blog<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">I started blogging in 2015 while a second-year student in
university and over the years, I have learned pretty much about the blogging
business model. It is unique and must be approached with dexterity.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this article, I will take you through the first steps of
successful blogging in Kenya. It is one thing to start a blog; it is another to
launch a roaring blog that earns bigtime.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are you ready?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let’s do this!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Introduction<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Before anything, I need you to dispel the notion that
blogging is a quick online money-making venture. Because if you don’t, you are
just about to have your heart broken into ten times more pieces than your ex
left you with.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Blogging is a business; a hustle where sweat matters, at
least for the first couple of years. Thereafter you can afford to be smart.
But, for the start, you must work your gluts off in order to earn money online.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Secondly, blogging as a Kenyan can follow two broad lines:
blogging for Kenyans or blogging for the world. Each has its own pros and cons.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One clear difference though is that blogging using none
local keywords is very competitive while blogging using local keywords limits
your audience. With time, you’ll learn how to strike a balance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lastly, I’d like you to put the number 6 in your mind.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What does 6 stand for? I’m glad you asked. I love students
like you.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6 is the average number of months it takes for a solo
blogging newbie to get his first paycheck.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Back in 2015, I read that statement somewhere. I thought it
was a bluff so; I laughed it off and said I will make money in 2 months at
most. Well, I laughed again 8 months later while withdrawing my first google
pay.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can earn earlier, by the way, I don’t like crushing
people’s hopes. But if you lack motivation and don’t have energy to persevere,
you won’t even get to the 6th month. 90% of bloggers give up within the
first three months.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think you are now ready to start.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Critical and Creative Thinking<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Did you note the part where I said ‘life-changing decision”?
I meant every word of it. Blogging might transform your life. That’s why you
need to think deeply about it just like you did in high school when choosing
your career path.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can blog about the endless topics in the universe, but
to succeed in blogging and really earn money online, you’ve gotta narrow down
to a few or one topic. Brainstorming involves the following steps.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Choosing a niche<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is probably the most integral step for securing a
successful blogging business in Kenya. Why do I say so? Consider this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In a single day, 15000 websites are created and over 10
million blog posts are published. Unless you write helpful content of high
quality, you cannot stay relevant in such an avalanche. The best way to do this
is to focus on one niche and be a master in it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A niche refers to a specific target market. For instance,
this website targets two complementary niches, university students and youths.
Whenever I write for Kampusville, I think of these two groups of people.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Likewise, you need to think about your target audience. Who
will read your content and feel grateful? Define your niche and make it as
specific as possible. The more specific you are, the lesser the competition.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To do this correctly, two independent strategies exist.
First, you can choose to blog on something that you are passionate about.
Passion is essential in blogging. Imagine the number of hours you’ll spend
seated writing and ask yourself, ‘will I enjoy writing about this topic?’<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Second, you can do some good research on profitable niches
then select one and dive in.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Personally, I’d advise you to use neither. Rather, apply
both. Following passion alone will obviously allow you to enjoy the blogging
journey. However, if you don’t start making money anytime soon, you will lose
the spirit and give up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the other hand, if you blog on a topic based on its
profitability, you might lack the energy and wit to write helpful content
besides hating your job.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Make
a list of 10 topics you like<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Research
on ‘profitable niches’<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Relate
your passion niches with profitable niches and try to settle on a balanced
niche<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Brainstorm your brand name.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Time to engage your creative muscles and discover the
wittiest brand name ever. What catchy name would you like to give your baby?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Choosing a good brand name is essential. You might never
have a chance to change it in the future. Just imagine if Nike or Coca Cola
changed their brand names today, wouldn’t it be devastating to their
businesses?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So it’s wise to invest in a good brand name and besides, it
will be crucial in our next step.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A good brand name should be<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Unique
and distinctive<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Suggestive
and Reflect your niche<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Simple,
short, and/or easy to pronounce<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Positive<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Memorable<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Protectable
with no legal regulatory restriction <o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">The last part only means in the future, if your brand
becomes a big deal, you can trademark it without anybody suing you. Consider
searching your name online for potential similarities with existing entities
before settling on one<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But, before you settle on your brand name consider the
following step<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Purchase a domain name<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A domain name is simply the internet address that will be
used by people to access your articles. My domain, for instance, is
kampusville.com and as you can see, the link you used to access this article
starts with that domain name.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When buying a domain name, you will notice that not all
domain names can be bought. Why? Because someone else beat you to them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You might spend a whole day brainstorming the name for your
brand only to find out later that its domain name is unavailable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That’s why you should brainstorm while checking the
availability of your domain name. But how can you do this research?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Domain names are registered or purchased through registry
companies, which in most cases are also hosting companies.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some internationally acclaimed hosting companies include
Bluehost, HostGator, Namecheap, and GoDaddy while some top Kenyan registrars
include KenyaWebExperts, Sasahost, and Truehost.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Using any of these registrars, access the domain registration
dashboard and type in your chosen brand name followed by a domain extension of
your choice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hold on! What’s a domain extension and how do you choose
one?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A domain extension defines the classification of your domain
by global location or sector.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are about 5 types of domains<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Top-Level
Domain: Global Site<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Country
code TLD: Country Specific Site<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Generic
TLD: Purpose<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Second
Level<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Third
Level<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">In most cases, the first two TLD and cc TLD are the best to
choose from especially for newbies. The only difference between the two is if
you want to target the whole world or your country. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To target the entire world, choose .com, .net, .biz, or
.org. These domains can be bought from any registrars in the world. To target
Kenyan audience, choose .co.ke or .ke. Country-based domains are mostly availed
by local registrars, in this case, KenyaWebExperts, and the likes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you discover your preferred domain name is already taken,
play around with the many extensions and choose what is available, and suits
your business. Or alter your brand name.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Once you settle on one, purchase it. The average cost of
domain names ranges from Ksh1,000 to Ksh1,500 annually while others can be much
more expensive.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Registrars, however, bundle the domain registration with
hosting packages, which reduces the total cost further. Which is why you should
consider the following step before concluding on your domain purchase<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Choosing Hosting Services.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This step can and should be done together with the previous
step if you want to save on costs. Some registrars even offer a free domain
name registration for the first year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But first of all, what is hosting?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hosting is the service of hiring storage for your website
content at a fee. The same way you pay rent to reside at a rental.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can pay annually or monthly but the former option is
always cheaper in the end. Therefore, you should consider raising some good
capital to start with.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, if you have a small budget, don’t despair, I got
you. With as little as 3100, you can register a domain and get quality hosting
for your first year through KenyaWebExperts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I normally advise newbies to start out small and only
upgrade to more expensive hosting services when their websites start generating
good income. Considering that more than 90% of new bloggers give up within the
first 3 months, you wouldn’t want to invest a leg on something you are not sure
of.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since hosting allows your site to be accessed from anywhere
in the world, choosing the right hosting is crucial. The main types of hosting
include<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Shared
Hosting: Many websites located in one server<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Cloud
Hosting; Many servers working together to act as on server which houses
your site among others<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Virtual
Private Server Hosting: Single physical server acting like multiple
servers; each website with own slot<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Dedicated
Hosting: One entire physical server for your website<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">Each of these types of hosting has its own pros and cons.
Shared hosting is the cheapest though it has the least capabilities while
dedicated hosting is the most expensive and most powerful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For a new blog, however, shared hosting is more than enough.
One of the cheapest packages I’d recommend is the Basic Plan offered
by KenyaWebExperts which costs 2100 for one year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Packages offered by the big American hosting companies are
relatively more expensive although they have superior capabilities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Take your time to settle on one package but I honestly
advise you to select the cheapest quality hosting service. You can always
upgrade with time as you grow.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Launch your Website<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A brand name, check. A registered domain name, check. A
hosting package, check. If you’re still here with me, we are getting to the fun
stuff.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By the time you are done with this, your website will be up
and roaring and you will feel like a tiny techie genius, haha! You are now a
webmaster or webmistress (for the sake of peace and harmony).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Launching your website might seem a little intimidating for
a complete armature but I can’t emphasis how easy it is, especially if you’ve
been using basic computer software, the internet, and social media.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To begin with, there are two main ways of building a site.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First, codding a site from scratch. This involves writing
actual code using software development applications, integrating them with
hosting frameworks, launching sites and maintaining code for optimum
performance<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Truly, this is a very tedious job and is only reserved for
software engineers, coding professionals, and enthusiasts, none of which you
belong I guess.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The other way is using content management systems (CMS)
which enable you to launch websites without any codding and worry of
maintenance. These programs have been engineered to build the site for you and
your only darn work is to add articles and photos. Somebody say Halleluyah!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Personally, I started out as a coding enthusiast having
pursued a web design course after high school. I had high hopes of designing
from scratch sites like Facebook and I even dreamt of becoming the next Mark
Zuckerberg<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But deep into the art, I realized just how much time it
takes to come up with a simple but fully functioning website and the millions
of dollars top websites spend on hiring top-notch specialized developers to
build websites.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I didn’t have time, expertise and money for that. Therefore,
I did some research on alternatives and that’s how I stumbled upon CMSes<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The most popular CMS (which I use) is known as WordPress,
which powers almost 30% of the entire internet. WordPress is very popular for
its simplicity and complexity mashed together like mokimo.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While there are many other CMSes you can select from
including Joomla, Drupal, Medium, and Blogger, I would advise you to use
WordPress. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Installing WordPress.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Remember when you purchased a hosting package with a
registered domain? Well, the hosting environment was automatically configured
for you by your hosting provider.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Inside that hosting environment, there is a software known
as cPanel. cPanel is a popular software used by most hosting companies in
managing websites<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">You
can access your cPanel by logging into your webmaster dashboard and
looking for a clickable link written “cPanel Login” or “Log into cPanel”.
Webmaster dashboards are customized depending on the hosting company.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Once
you’re in the cPanel, scroll down until you see “Launch WordPress Website”
or something of the sort. When you click on the link you will be directed
to a new page with a form where you need to fill details about your site.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Complete
the form and then install.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">After
that, you might be redirected to WordPress login page where you should use
your username and password to log in.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">If
not, just open a new tab, type “yourdomain.com” followed by /wp-admin and
press enter then log in. For instance, mine would be
“kampusville.com/wp-admin”.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just so you know, your website will already be launched at
this point and you should access it through typing your domain address.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In case you get stuck while launching your blog, your
hosting company has a page where it provides the guidelines for all these
procedures. You should check and follow the procedures. Otherwise, you can
contact me, I can help you set up your site perfectly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Publishing your first Article<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The excitement is not yet over; you are just about to
publish your first article. My assumption by now is that you already have a
couple of articles dealing with your niche typed on a word document and saved
in your computer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If not, consider writing one. Choose a general topic within
your niche and write a 300-500 word article.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Once
your article is ready, log back into your blog.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Navigate
to Posts > Add New and a new page with an editing dashboard will open.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Create
a title or copy-paste your title on the title box<o:p></o:p></li>

<li class="MsoNormal">Add
a category (broad group) and tags (niche descriptions).<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">For instance, if you have a sports news blog and you are
writing about a football game between Gor Mahia and Kariobangi Sharks; the
categories can be 2; Football and KPL while the tags can be 3; Gor Mahia,
Kariobangi Sharks and Moi Stadium if that’s where they’re playing. I hope you
get the gist. Categories and Tags help classify your blog posts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Publish
your article<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Click
on “View Article” to view your article.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are not feeling awesome right, now then I don’t know
what excites you. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But just before you leave, there are a few things you need
to do immediately. Remember we are not just starting a blog, we want to launch
a potentially successful blog. To do this, we need to optimize the website from
the very beginning.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Below is a list of crucial things you should do to optimize
your Kenyan blog.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Configure Settings<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>General Settings<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Hover
over Settings<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Select
General<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">In
the General Settings page, Edit the site title to your blog name and the
tagline to your mantra (Optional)<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Edit
the email address to your preferred email address<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">The
rest can be ignored<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Save.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Permalinks Settings<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Again,
head to settings and select Permalinks at the bottom of the list.
Permalinks are static links, which lead a browser to a particular post or
page<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">In
the Permalinks setting page, scroll down and select Post Name as your
preferred link structure.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are wondering, link structure is a ranking factor
used by Google. An optimized link contains the keywords of a post, which are
found in the title, and hence using the title/post name optimizes your URL.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Install Plugins<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the reasons why WordPress is so simple yet so
powerful is courtesy of plugins. Plugins are extensions that add
functionalities to a website.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s like the extra features Iron Man added to Spiderman’s
Suit in Avengers Infinity War to enable him to perform some awesome extra
stuff. Plugins can improve your blog too.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are tens if not hundreds of thousands of plugins
available for free or for a cost. Yet if you start installing every piece of
plugin out there, your blog will be bloated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Therefore, I came up with a list of recommended
plugins, which are essential for a new site. To install any, hover over Plugins
on the navigation sidebar and select add new then search.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Akismet:
Protect your blog from spam<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Yoast:
For site engine optimization (SEO). Follow its easy set up run through to
configure.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Updraft:
To back up your site to Google Drive or Dropbox.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">W3
Total Cache: To speed up your site (Speed is another big factor in Google
ranking)<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Wordfence:
Acts like an antivirus for your website and provides security.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Set up Analytics.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From the very start, you need to know where your traffic is
coming from in order to strategize. Google Analytics is the ultimate tool for
this purpose.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It informs you where traffic is originating from, how long
people are staying on your site, which pages are performing well, and much
more.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another tool worth mentioning is the Jetpack
plugin. Jetpack is packed with more than 20 other features besides offering
analytics right at your dashboard (The only advantage it has over Google
Analytics).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Setting up an analytics tool will set off the pace for you
since it informs you of your progress and helps you make strategic plans for
your blog to be successful<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At this point, we have gone through almost every essential
step to set up a blog. The site is online and ready to roar. However, we cannot
forget the crucial business part of the blog. I’m sure you didn’t just come
across this blog to enable you to create a simple blog and write whatever you
want. You needed to know how to set up a successful blogging business in Kenya.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just like any other business, blogging requires essential
practices for success. I mentioned some of them in the beginning and one thing
they all have in common is the fact that they are aimed at creating value for
customers; in this case readers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So generally, you need to be business-minded to blog
successfully in Kenya, a country with one of the highest internet penetration
in the world. How can you do this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Get a good premium theme<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It all comes down to how many zeros you can make and to do
this in blogging, you need to prepare your site to make money. We have already
done two of the 3 essential things required to start making money
blogging. The third is getting a premium theme.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the article linked in the paragraph above, I explain why
it’s essential to buy a premium theme. If you are a little in a hurry, a
premium theme offers a lot of customization features that will enable your blog
design to stand out.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Making your blog business in Kenya successful<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Conduct Keyword Research<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This involves trying to find out the topics within your
niche that people are searching in order to design your content for them.
Keyword research is a whole sector of its own and lately it quite likely the
single most powerful strategy that guarantees success in blogging.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Consider investing in keyword tools such
as Ahrefs, KWFinder, and Moz or if you have a limited
budget, use free tools such as UberSuggest, Google Trends, and Google
Search Suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Site Engine Optimization<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While Keyword research helps you identify the right topics
to write about, SEO enables your articles to appear on the first page of Google
Search Results which assures you of traffic.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SEO fundamentally involves making your articles appeal to
the Googlebot and hence rank for your keywords. This is another billion-dollar
industry by the way. You can’t exhaust all that SEO has to offer because it’s
too wide but with regular learning, you can become a master like Neil
Patel.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the plugins I asked you to install was Yoast.
This plugin can provide you with a good foundation for your SEO journey since
it’s backed by a whole team of professionals who regularly update the plugin
and provide tips through an email Newsletter you ought to subscribe.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Join Google AdSense<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/3212830880494439957/5608814460050158840">Google
AdSense</a> is the ultimate ads distribution platform in the world. It’s
the easiest to join but mind you, it takes time before a new blog is approved.
Google inspectors have to investigate your site to ensure it meets certain
conditions before you are accepted.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In case you are worried about these conditions, how about
this; if you write quality and helpful content and get traffic, then you are
already qualified. Nevertheless, promoting explicit content such as drugs and
porn will earn you a total disqualification.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Hire Writers and professionals<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The awesome thing about blogging is that you can do
everything alone, anywhere at any time. Yet, if you are thinking of your blog
more than just a personal blog and rather a business, you need to start doing
more things faster.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Writing blogs can be very time-consuming. In fact very few
blogs are updated once a week although regular updates encourage Google to rank
you higher. Therefore, a smart business person would spare some money and hire
competent writers to help create quality content.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Likewise, if you indulge yourself into all the technical
aspects of building a blog, you might forget among others, the next (very
important) point<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Market your content<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You don’t expect to sit down and wait for people to come to
your blog especially when it’s so young. You need to get it out there. Share
articles on social media platforms, send to friends and humbly request them to
share further, start email marketing among other things.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Be ready also to spend a few bucks on Facebook
Marketing, which can work wonders if done correctly. Grow your fan-base promote
your content every day. Even a single twit a day with a link is good enough.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Conclusion<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Phew! I feel like I’ve exhausted everything at this point
but in case there are updates such as the bill in parliament, which is
promising bloggers in Kenya to pay registration fees, I will be on the lookout.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you need any help or services pertaining to any step we
have discussed, leave a comment and I will get back to you ASAP.</p>Geoffrey Nevinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15269789775926439146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212830880494439957.post-6538661779910437752024-03-13T08:43:00.003+03:002024-03-13T08:43:23.342+03:00Remotasks—Earn Money by doing Simple Tasks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWH7Ox3dJUK2pR_-hX3yP_cQ8LZ4J5qb53UWs3UZyhNfad3MehYGlqwNDYbT7PJP2cQnm9iCygKJjbMEkKeyg7PHMNp1-nHdlL2P1Jh1i2hMoBEDBzeT3sY2ucE9I7t1H3iOVrfUgVSouYrRM1joSZ_9MRMeKdQY6XtLOC88wFP5kfgn8ygjAxWAdAgFY/s728/Remotasks-Review-Landing-Page.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Remotasks—Earn Money by doing Simple Tasks" border="0" data-original-height="607" data-original-width="728" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWH7Ox3dJUK2pR_-hX3yP_cQ8LZ4J5qb53UWs3UZyhNfad3MehYGlqwNDYbT7PJP2cQnm9iCygKJjbMEkKeyg7PHMNp1-nHdlL2P1Jh1i2hMoBEDBzeT3sY2ucE9I7t1H3iOVrfUgVSouYrRM1joSZ_9MRMeKdQY6XtLOC88wFP5kfgn8ygjAxWAdAgFY/s16000/Remotasks-Review-Landing-Page.png" title="Remotasks—Earn Money by doing Simple Tasks" /></a></div>Remotasks.com is a crowdsourcing platform where users can get paid for performing and completing simple tasks. These micro-tasks include tagging images, audio transcription, data collection, etc. It is a relatively new micro-tasking platform created in 2017 and is quickly gaining popularity. This micro job site allows clients to post tasks/jobs and the workers work on those tasks for money.<br /><br />Remotasks has a list of client companies that provide these tasks, from small startups to big corporations. Anyone can work on Remotasks, however the only requirement is to be fluent in English. As a worker, you can unlock more tasks by giving small tests/exams. The more exams you take the more tasking opportunities will be open to you. Want to find out more on how to become a tasker? Here are the steps you need to follow:<div><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;">How RemoTasks Works</h2><br />As mentioned before, Remotasks provides a wide variety of tasks, ranging from simple tasks like image annotation (notation) to little complex tasks like audio transcription. Here’s what you need to do to get started: To start working, users have to register themselves first. Remotasks requires users to sign up through their Facebook account. <a href="https://www.remotasks.com/login">Click HERE to Sign Up</a><div><br />After logging in, you will see your dashboard. On the dashboard, you can see your stats regarding work and earnings. To start, you’ll first have to go through a tutorial that will have practice tasks. After completing the tutorial, you’ll then be able to start working. Just click on Get Started to start the tutorial.</div><div><br />The tutorial comprises two tasks that the users have to practice on. They also provide clear instructions on how to complete these tasks. The time depends on the users, they can take as little or as much time as they want to get the tasks done. If you make mistakes in these practice tasks, you have to retry again till the task is complete. Only then do you qualify to start applying for the real tasks.</div><div><br />After going through the practice round, you can now start applying for tasks. On your dashboard, you will find a list of tasks that you can apply for. To work on your selected tasks you must first take an exam. After passing it you get to work on the real task.</div><div><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>PAYMENT DETAILS</b></h2><br />Remotasks pays its taskers through PayPal. The payment for each task varies according to the complexity of the task. The payment rate can range from $1-$2 per hour. The minimum payout is $5. The payments are made weekly.</div><div><br /><b><u>THINGS TO REMEMBER</u></b></div><div><ul><li>To work on Remotasks you have to be fluent in English.</li><li>Completing the tasks on time is very important. Failure to do so can get you banned from the website.</li><li>High accuracy is required to work on tasks, if your accuracy is too low you could get banned.</li><li>The more accurate your tasks are, the more your score will be. However, you can score low if you take too much time or your task is incorrect.</li></ul><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>CONCLUSION</u></b></h2><br />Remotasks is a good alternative to make some money on the side, however, patience is required to perform these tasks. The pay-per-task is effective but payment rates are not too high. But again, the website is completely legit and worth a try. Users on average earn about $30 to $40 per month working a few hours. Remotasks is another alternative to MTurk and other micro-tasking websites.<br /><br />To know more about Remotasks check out their FAQ’s page.

<p class="MsoNormal">In 2010, Fox Transcribe was founded by Dan Kokotov, David
Abrameto, Jason Chicola, Josh Breinlinger, Mark Chen, and Paul Huck. The
inspiration came from the successful oDesk platform, where some of the founders
got their start.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Three years later, the company rebranded to Rev with a new
board of directors Venky Ganesan of Globespan Capital Partners, Craig Sherman
(former COO of Ancestry.com), and Austin Ligon (founder of CarMax).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These days, Rev has become a popular player in the gig
economy, where Freelancers can caption and transcribe works for businesses all
over the world. But how much money can you make with Rev? How do you get
started on the platform?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Read on to learn everything you need to know about Rev.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<hr /><b>

<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Requirements to Become a Freelancer</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Becoming a transcription freelancer is simple. There are no
complex requirements for you to fulfill that could hinder your start.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rev indicates that anyone of legal age that has a good
command of any language, powerful listening skills, and fast typing talent can
become a freelancer. The company offers several online freelancing jobs,
including transcription and captions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In order to have your application accepted, you must first
pass an entrance test. Freelancers with apt listening skills that can type fast
and without mistakes or highlight captions accurately should have no issue
quickly passing the first entry test.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While these requirements are essential, Rev focuses on your
listening, accuracy, and precise details on assignments.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In order to rise above the rest, tailor your profile and job
description to match what the clients need. Professional education is an added
advantage, but applications and IT certifications give you an edge over other
applicants.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>How to get started as a Rev Freelancer</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Starting on Rev as a freelancer is easy. Complete the
application process in less than an hour, and you are signed up and ready to
go. Once the site reviews and accepts your application, you can start applying
for jobs or pick from the available job board.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A few trips to improve your selection process is to choose
jobs that draw your interests, start low, and work your way up to more complex
jobs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After filling out your personal information, proceed to
complete the question and answer section. The quiz helps ascertain freelancers’
language and grammar skills. Carefully, go through the sample test issued, take
your time, answer all of the questions, and submit. The only challenge is that
you will have a timeline to complete the caption or transcription.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Once you decide to complete the transcript, bring your
listening devices into a quiet area, and listen. Redo the process as much as
possible, following the conversation, and type in the details. Check for
accuracy and label all the speakers in the audio.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For captions, passing the tests is easy. Watch the video
given to you, understand what is being said, and convey these through your
typing skills. Do not change what is being said, but you may need to improve
your presentation to match the sounds or convey the tone to pass the test.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To ensure a successful application, you need to brush up on
your language and grammar. Practice transcribing small videos and other audio
files for approximately three minutes, the same length as the test given at
Rev. Time your work process to match a similar timeline and revise your work to
check the issued guidelines. Identify the speakers, look out for proper
spelling, search for specific terminologies in use, and edit your grammar,
including punctuation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also be sure to pay attention to your Rev profile, as it
helps build your credibility and professional reliability. Highlight the right
skills, including different transcription services using the right keywords for
higher search rank. Remember, this is a competition amongst freelancers, and
the easiest way to attract clients is by having an attractive profile.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Work Process</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">When you log in to your personal account, you will see a
long list of customer audio files with corresponding project details.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For each work, the media content, length, and project rate
are already listed upfront, helping you decide whether the available job will
suit your schedule or not. You may claim the job and work on it according to
the set guidelines of Rev, but you can’t bring the file back if you ever decide
not to transcribe it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You don’t need to install any transcribing software as Rev
offers a web-based working platform that allows you to transcribe audio and
submit the transcript once completed. You may use foot pedals to expedite the
transcription process if you think that the built-in transcribing tool is not
sufficient to do the work comfortably. As for the clients, they can download
the ordered transcript in various formats, including MS Office Word, text, and
PDF.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One great thing is that transcribers don’t need to stay active
on the working platform at all times. But they are encouraged to check the
platform from time to time to receive projects. You can decide when you want to
work or how much you want to transcribe without worrying about the minimum
number of transcribed words per day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>What to expect as a Freelancer</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">After a successful application, it is time to start
completing contracts on Rev and getting paid. For every complete project, you
submit and is approved, you receive the payments directly to your Rev account.
Use an agreed-upon payment platform to access your funds. The primary payment
platform on Rev is PayPal.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Pay for transcription is dependent on the job category and
amount per minute or entire audio. Captions also follow the same rule.
Therefore, the more jobs you complete, the higher the amount you collect in a
single day, week, or month.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Pros and Cons of Using Rev</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">The pros of working on Rev are extensive, but the most
prominent include working at anytime, anywhere – whatever is most convenient
for you and your schedule.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can start as a beginner and work your way to an expert
level where you no longer have to compete for work. Payments are assured as the
platform verifies the job done, the client’s ability to pay, and the
freelancer’s ability to deliver.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The cons include low pay rates for some of the projects.
Additionally, much like other gig economy jobs, the platform charges a specific
fee to use the platform. Receiving $0.30 for a whole minute of transcription is
quite discouraging to many freelancers. But don’t fret, you can also transcribe
for as much as $1.10 for a single minute’s worth of work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>How much can you make with Rev?</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">The amount you make depends on your typing speed, quality of
work you produce, experience level, accuracy, and more. Since you cannot
establish your own pay rates, you have to select jobs that help you accumulate
the most from a short period. Pick simple projects but with a higher pay out to
maximize your income on the platform.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can work part-time and still earn hundreds or even
thousands of dollars from Rev in a year. After all, Rev Transcription jobs do
not require match experience, but patience, apt listening or recording skills,
and fast typing talent. Accuracy is a significant issue, and conveying details
as they appear on the audio or caption is crucial. If satisfied with your work,
some companies can offer long-term projects, and you end up earning more and
more.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Every gig pays based on the effort and strategy an individual
puts in it. By experimenting on smaller gigs on Rev, expanding your client list
with successful job completions, good client ratings, and a strong portfolio,
you can get any project you set your mind on. Honing your skills can be the
driving force that earns you extra dollars online.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>How to make the most money with Rev</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">On Rev, the faster and more accurately you complete a
project, the more you earn. It means you have to find a few tricks to help you
finish your projects efficiently without grammar or language mistakes. These
hacks also help you complete your caption or transcription earlier than
indicated, meaning you can get another job if you are a full-time Revver.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Consider using text expanders that automatically expand an
acronym to a full word or phrase, saving you typing time. Autocorrect after you
complete the entire project. It saves you time starting and stopping the
caption or transcription audio each time you make a mistake.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Look for applications that help slow down speakers in the
audio file given. Rev has a speed adjustment tool on the website to help
freelancers adjust playback. The tool also speeds up audio, helping you
complete the job faster if the speakers are too slow.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Use the right tools like Autocorrect for spelling and
completion of terms. If dealing with mathematical functions or statistics, a
spreadsheet eliminates any form of distraction, taking your attention from the
project at hand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, find a comfortable spot to work on your project. It
reduces fatigue, helping you handle more tasks, which turns into more money.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Rev FAQ</b></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>How long does it take to sign up to be a Freelancer on
Rev?</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Creating an account on Rev takes approximately 1 hour. You
have to complete a language test. Once you pass the grammar and language test,
you take another caption or transcription test. Submit and wait for the
approval.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Is Rev available in my area?</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, Rev is an online marketplace where freelancers and
clients interact openly. You can log in from anywhere in the world and complete
your projects. In order to use Rev, all you need is a reliable internet
connection and a laptop or PC to complete your project.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Can I freelance on transcriptions and captions at the
same time?</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It depends on your skillset. If you can transcribe, you log
into Rev and join the transcription job board. However, if you are
transcribing, you can only complete that single job first before choosing a
captioning project. The same applies to captions. Once you select the project,
you have to complete the job before picking out another.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>What’s the difference between Transcription and Caption?</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Transcription involves listening to an audio, typing the
conversation, and checking for grammar and language mistakes. Captions affect a
video file, where you watch, organize exchanges, and creatively portray every
sound coming from the video file. Both files should result in accurate and
precise details before submitting to Rev.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Are there any advantages to using Rev</b>?</h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First, you can work from any location convenient to you.
Second, you choose your projects depending on your work skills. Third, you can
work for as long as you want or on a part-time basis. Lastly, earn any amount
by putting in the extra hours or honing your skills.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>How do I reach the Rev Customer service?</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The company provides both freelancers and clients with their
contact information, including a phone number: 888-369-0701, and email
address: support@rev.com.

Dmitri Mendeleev introduced the periodic table in which he included 118 elements. These are metal and non-metals.<br /><br />Metals are to the left of the periodic table while non-metals are to the right. There are so many elements that it becomes difficult to understand them in one go. So, see the full article for the better understanding of the Periodic table.<br /><br />The periodic table is a fundamental tool in chemistry that organizes and presents information about the elements. While it may seem overwhelming at first glance, understanding the periodic table can be made easier by following a few key strategies.<br /><br /><b>Here’s a guide on how to understand the periodic table easily:</b><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Element Basics:</b> Familiarize yourself with the basic components of an element’s tile on the table. Each tile displays the atomic number (number of protons), element symbol, and atomic mass.</li><li><b>Atomic Structure:</b> Learn the significance of the atomic number and mass. The atomic number determines an element’s identity, while the atomic mass represents the average mass of its isotopes.</li><li><b>Grouping Patterns:</b> Observe the vertical columns, or groups, on the periodic table. Elements within the same group share similar properties and exhibit recurring patterns.</li><li><b>Periodic Trends:</b> Understand the horizontal rows, or periods. Elements within the same period have the same number of electron shells.</li><li><b>Blocks and Sublevels:</b> Recognize the various blocks on the periodic table: s, p, d, and f. Each block represents a specific sublevel in an element’s electron configuration.</li><li><b>Color Coding:</b> Many periodic tables use color coding to group elements with similar properties. Pay attention to these color patterns as they can help you quickly identify and categorize elements.</li><li><b>Utilize Resources:</b> Make use of additional resources like textbooks, online tutorials, and interactive periodic table tools. These resources often provide detailed explanations, examples, and quizzes to solidify your understanding.</li><li><b>Practice and Memorize:</b> Regularly practice identifying elements, their symbols, and their properties. Quiz yourself and use flashcards to reinforce your knowledge. Over time, familiarity with the periodic table will become second nature.</li></ul></div><div>Remember, mastering the periodic table takes time and practice. By following these strategies and remaining persistent, you can gain a solid understanding of this essential tool and unlock the wonders of chemistry.</div>Geoffrey Nevinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15269789775926439146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212830880494439957.post-88597542955182277912024-03-13T07:32:00.002+03:002024-03-13T07:32:36.292+03:00🔬 Mastering the Art of Balancing Chemical Equations! 🧪<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXEr5VRXTGTHctR7uw-G2cRpojLTVYR83AQTdlhS545xSxtXb0WhzC8XGl_gCH8GcvMgda-0UsmpO1v4u8bWhwXHduvMvAHr09-W24pitoYGR4QL-p1b7fMo2eI47THPny1jjfRB_jnwMou74lI0_d-HPl_niMZNLmuZTgoJ1j0_qzQj3_RGdjYqgvsIA/s728/1705959977875.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="🔬 Mastering the Art of Balancing Chemical Equations! 🧪" border="0" data-original-height="409" data-original-width="728" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXEr5VRXTGTHctR7uw-G2cRpojLTVYR83AQTdlhS545xSxtXb0WhzC8XGl_gCH8GcvMgda-0UsmpO1v4u8bWhwXHduvMvAHr09-W24pitoYGR4QL-p1b7fMo2eI47THPny1jjfRB_jnwMou74lI0_d-HPl_niMZNLmuZTgoJ1j0_qzQj3_RGdjYqgvsIA/s16000/1705959977875.png" title="🔬 Mastering the Art of Balancing Chemical Equations! 🧪" /></a></div>
<b>Balancing chemical equations is a fundamental skill that allows students to understand chemical reactions at the atomic level. One of the most important concepts in chemistry is that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. This means that the atoms at the start of a reaction must be the same atoms at the end of a reaction. To satisfy this law of conservation of mass and matter, all chemical equations must be balanced. </b><p class="ember-view reader-content-blocks__paragraph" id="ember45" style="--artdeco-reset-typography_getfontsize: 1.6rem; --artdeco-reset-typography_getlineheight: 1.5; background-color: #1b1f23; border: var(--artdeco-reset-base-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: var(--font-size-large); line-height: 1.75; margin: 1.6rem 0px; padding: var(--artdeco-reset-base-padding-zero); pointer-events: all; vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline);">Balancing chemical equations can be a daunting task for many students and also a challenge for teachers to teach.

The ultrasound machine emits high-frequency sound waves through a transducer, which acts as both a transmitter and a receiver of sound. These sound waves penetrate the body and interact with different tissues, reflecting back as echoes when they encounter tissue boundaries. The transducer detects these echoes and sends them to a computer, which processes the information to create detailed images. Based on the timing and amplitude of the echoes, the computer generates real-time images displayed on a monitor.

PoCUS devices are designed to be extremely easy to use and broadly applicable, which means they aren’t necessarily supported by the same technologies as a complete ultrasound unit. AI pares down the demands of PoCUS, allowing producers to focus on scan quality and form factor while AI handles the heavy lifting of image processing. <br /><br />AI can improve the accuracy and speed of diagnoses by identifying anomalies that may be difficult for humans to discern. At the point of care, this means <a href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/how-ai-can-increase-effectiveness-point-care-ultrasounds">less time spent analyzing scans</a> and more time spent on patient interaction, leading to better outcomes and an improved experience, no matter the setting. It can also reduce the chances of overlooking critical clues that may inform diagnosis or treatment.<br /><br />From the bedside to the field, PoCUS continues to emerge as essential tech. Likewise, AI will continue to be essential in supporting it. Together, they enable a new level of speed and decisiveness, which is increasingly instrumental in diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring.<br /><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;">AI is paving a path forward for ultrasound</h2><br />From image detection and auto-adjustment to new technological developments, AI is shaping an impressive future for ultrasound tech.

necessary skill. However, in today’s technology-driven world, computer literacy has
become essential for children to establish a solid educational
foundation. </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Computer literacy refers to the ability and
understanding of the individual to use the basic concepts of computers and
their technology. It includes both hardware and software along with their
applications.</i><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>To navigate through today’s digital world easily,
it is crucial to provide computer literacy to kids. <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Here are some steps to follow to inculcate computer
literacy in kids:</b></h2><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>1. Start with Basics</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Parents often wonder, “<b>When to start with formal
education?</b>”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Formal education should start between the ages of 3-5 years.
At this tender age, introduced children to the basics of the computer such as
screen, mouse, mouse track or mouse pad, and other hardware parts like monitor,
CPU, hard disk, etc. At this age, they can grasp these fundamentals. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is not advised to start earlier than this. Psychologists
believe that before this age, it can adversely affect the development of their
mind and body.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>2. Make it Fun</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Learning about computers doesn’t have to be a tedious task.
Incorporating games and interactive activities can create a fun and exciting
experience. For instance, you can organize a typing race or create a scavenger
hunt using computer-related vocabulary. You can even introduce your kids to
coding games, educational
games, and lessons filled with computer literacy that include digital
verses and songs to play with.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fun activities can make learning entertaining and
educational at the same time. Moreover, children can also learn to make and
engage with their animations, allowing their imaginations to run wild.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>3. Focus on Practical Skills</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this stage, computer literacy helps kids focus on
day-to-day skills. It includes programming,
email writing, working with Word and Excel, etc. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The best practice is to integrate computer literacy into
everyday life. For example, show children how to use a calculator or create a
budget spreadsheet. Encourage them to research topics of interest online.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>4. Encourage Creativity</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When children are given the freedom to
be creative with technology, they are motivated and better able to
retain information. Creativity can also help children develop problem-solving
skills and think outside the box.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are several ways to encourage creativity. One way is
to promote digital art. You can start with the “Paint” application. Moreover,
promoting web designing and video-making skills can help them in the
long run.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>5. Be Patient and Supportive</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Learning computer skills can be challenging, especially for
young children. So, you must be patient and supportive and encourage your
children to keep trying. Celebrate their successes and provide positive
reinforcement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Provide them with proper resources that include books and
online tutorials. Guide them to reliable and trustworthy websites. Be open to
their queries in case of any help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>6. Teach Digital Citizenship</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Computer literacy is not only limited to operating the
device. With the internet being vast and sometimes dangerous, it’s essential to
teach children about safety and security when using computers. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kids need to be constantly monitored, especially at this
tender age. There are many risks and adversities when it comes to the digital
space. So, teach them the importance of strong passwords, how to avoid online
scams, and how to protect their personal information.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Conclusion</u></b></h2><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Making your children computer literate comes with many
challenges, but, at the same time, we are living in a world where it is a must.
Today, with e-learning and strategic online curriculums, children have access
to a vast amount of knowledge that was previously not as easily available. It
is truly a blessed time for kids to empower themselves with the vastness of
knowledge to become independent and confident citizens.</p>Geoffrey Nevinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15269789775926439146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212830880494439957.post-74177737964943559852024-03-11T07:52:00.000+03:002024-03-11T07:52:07.527+03:005 Key Reasons Why Documentation Is Important in HR<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCWcfc8jOOlyGOmNasU8q5yFCeXAzEm5nYMDmh8e5sFHlfp6LpgA_kns_AaGCOml1WtiJLuTB7o3FNix8rKUPZ2NCbppND-8HFfkuYEZDDI3X2jDMI0H6tgOqxYyWQxnvChsXjotBOHB7WCSOyTHVasjj2dssHnXBd8w9HKvDjR2yr1VVOORwjVyUxjUY/s728/1678703861359.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="5 Key Reasons Why Documentation Is Important in HR" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="728" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCWcfc8jOOlyGOmNasU8q5yFCeXAzEm5nYMDmh8e5sFHlfp6LpgA_kns_AaGCOml1WtiJLuTB7o3FNix8rKUPZ2NCbppND-8HFfkuYEZDDI3X2jDMI0H6tgOqxYyWQxnvChsXjotBOHB7WCSOyTHVasjj2dssHnXBd8w9HKvDjR2yr1VVOORwjVyUxjUY/s16000/1678703861359.jpeg" title="5 Key Reasons Why Documentation Is Important in HR" /></a></div><p><b>HR documentation is key to your organization’s success.</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It helps you make sure that everyone — supervisors, HR team,
and employees — is organized and on the same page. But the benefits of good
documentation don’t stop there. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>HR documentation can also optimize employee performance,
help you make better decisions, and accelerate growth — especially when it
comes to hourly workers. </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this article, we’re going to cover: <o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">What
HR documentation is <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Why
it’s important for hourly and part-time employees<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">The
best HR documentation practice <o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">Grab a hot beverage and let’s dive in. <o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Why Is Documentation Important in Human Resources: 5 Core
Reasons </b></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>What Is HR Documentation? </b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">HR documentation includes various types of employee
documentation and data that HR departments collect from workers. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your HR documentation can include: <o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Onboarding:</b>
such as collecting forms and direct deposit information <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Performance:</b>
to optimize productivity levels and recognize top talent <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Engagement:</b>
to track attendance and keep your team accountable <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b>Legal:
to ensure that you’re staying compliant with the law and reduce risk of
litigation </b><o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">The challenge with HR documentation is that it often comes
with endless paperwork and repetitive tasks that feel manual, cumbersome, and,
frankly, boring.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>5 Reasons Why HR Documentation Will Help Your
Organization Grow </b></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">1. It Allows You to Make Data-Driven Decisions</h3><p class="MsoNormal">Supervisors often have to make tough decisions about the
hourly workforce. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Documenting performance gives supervisors the ability to
make decisions using real data, not emotion or confrontation. </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, instead of having a general sense of “Steven
often misses work,” documenting performance gives you precise hours and reasons
why Steven wasn’t where he was supposed to be. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This way, the supervisors have the clarity they need to
reward top performers and take fair disciplinary action when needed.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>2. It Helps Improve Productivity</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">HR documentation can help you make your operations more
efficient because it allows you to identify trends over a period of time and
make performance improvements. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tracking employee performance reduces the probability of
repeated mistakes and helps you see if any areas in your standard operating
procedures need improvement. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you notice that multiple workers are running into the
same problem over and over again? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Documenting and analyzing productivity trends can help
you get to the bottom of the wider issue and create a performance improvement
plan instead of wasting time trying to come up with surface-level solutions. </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>3. It Protects Your Organization Against Litigation </b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most states have employment record requirements that your
organization needs to comply with to stay in good standing with the law. Some
types of documentation you may be required to keep on file include medical
forms and documents confirming employment eligibility.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Documenting work hours, performance, and engagement also
protects your organization against litigation and prevents legal issues from
arising. <o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>4. It Sets Clear Expectations</b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Organized documentation makes standard operations and
expectations obvious and clear for your hourly workers and teams. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>With standardized documentation in place, there is no
gray area between what’s acceptable and what’s not acceptable, which makes
enforcing company policies significantly easier. </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Creating a fair and unbiased system that applies to all of
your workers also reduces the possibility of conflict and builds a culture of
transparency where the same rules apply to everyone. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Setting consistent expectations is especially important
when you have hourly employees. </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They often switch work locations and don’t have set working
hours, which makes it harder to make them a part of a cohesive system.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>5. It Grows Engagement </b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hourly workers often report feeling neglected and not as
important as salaried employees. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>As a result, their engagement and productivity levels
suffer, and </b><a href="https://chainstoreage.com/study-hourly-employees-deeply-dissatisfied-heres-what-they-want" target="_self"><b>over 58% of part-time workers report wanting to leave their
positions because of a lack of recognition</b></a><b>. </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the Age of Great Resignation, this is bad news. With many
frontline roles short-staffed, companies should make their best efforts to
retain part-time employees and improve turnover rates. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Consistent HR documentation can help you connect with
hourly workers and make them feel that their work matters and is recognized. </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This will lead to a more engaged team, higher productivity
levels, and a better turnover rate.</p>Geoffrey Nevinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15269789775926439146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212830880494439957.post-34819366024501702592024-03-10T12:19:00.001+03:002024-03-14T12:27:54.281+03:00Income Tax Exemption Process For Persons With Disabilities<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0z_aQMWF3vQk4nDbd8UJrulAUAF4wzqHmJyLJTmdaU4OslyRb8-iQpPpvQaY5maVf9iwjS8yzQo6s4uJegza5jt3kSwoHjPP-N7vEubLQ6RS_zBvtaQyfbNmEF1pVRJ7RtrRb_V1hJGzjMCLBU4fnYYS5sQ7T4xZcDKhVspwH1uAnNmdWgQ51AK6qnN4/s728/How-to-Apply-for-Disability-Card-in-Kenya-Obtain-PWDs-ID.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Income Tax Exemption Process For Persons With Disabilities" border="0" data-original-height="636" data-original-width="728" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0z_aQMWF3vQk4nDbd8UJrulAUAF4wzqHmJyLJTmdaU4OslyRb8-iQpPpvQaY5maVf9iwjS8yzQo6s4uJegza5jt3kSwoHjPP-N7vEubLQ6RS_zBvtaQyfbNmEF1pVRJ7RtrRb_V1hJGzjMCLBU4fnYYS5sQ7T4xZcDKhVspwH1uAnNmdWgQ51AK6qnN4/s16000/How-to-Apply-for-Disability-Card-in-Kenya-Obtain-PWDs-ID.jpg" title="Income Tax Exemption Process For Persons With Disabilities" /></a></div><p>The Persons with Disabilities (Income Tax Deductions and
Exemptions) Order, 2010 (Legal Notice No. 36 of 2010) provides that a Person
with Disability (PWD) may apply to the Commissioner through the National
Council for Persons with Disabilities (the Council) for exemption from income
tax of the first one hundred and fifty thousand shillings of their total income
per month.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kenya Revenue Authority has noted that many taxpayers are
not aware of the application procedure for this tax exemption leading to delays
in processing exemption certificates for qualifying applicants. We therefore
wish to inform members of the public that the application process for income
tax exemption for persons living with disability is as follows: -<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step 1: An application is lodged at the Council by
filling the prescribed <a href="https://kra.go.ke/images/publications/Exemption-Application-Form-for-Persons-with-Disabilities.pdf" target="_blank" title="form">form </a>(Form 1) which is available at the
Council’s and KRA offices and can also be downloaded from the respective
websites. The <a href="https://kra.go.ke/images/publications/Exemption-Application-Form-for-Persons-with-Disabilities.pdf">form</a> should
be accompanied with the relevant documents in support of the application, which
include: - <o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">A
medical report <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">A

<li class="MsoNormal">A
copy of the expired certificate (in the case of an application for
renewal).<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step 2: Upon receipt of the application, the Council
will arrange for the Vetting Committee to assess the applicant and give their
recommendation to the Commissioner on the applicant’s eligibility for
exemption.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step 3: Where the exemption is recommended, the Council
uploads the application on iTax on behalf of the applicant for further
processing by the Commissioner. A system generated acknowledgement number is
sent to both the applicant and the Council.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step 4: The Commissioner will ascertain the correctness
and completeness of the application and if satisfied, a tax exemption
certificate will be issued to the applicant through their registered email.
Where the application is not approved, the applicant and the Council are
notified via email, giving reasons thereof. Applicants who are dissatisfied
with the decision of the Commissioner may appeal to the Cabinet Secretary for
the National Treasury through the Council.<o:p></o:p></p>

in meeting various tax-based responsibilities. Filing
KRA tax returns in iTax has become simple and easier. In Kenya, every
registered taxpayer with a Personal Identification Number (PIN) obtained from
the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) must file tax returns every financial year.
Those who have no business or are not in gainful employment must file nil KRA
tax returns.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The iTax filing system is designed to accept the
various types of
KRA returns such as Income tax related to the resident individual,
corporates, partnership and indirect tax such as VAT and Excise. Based on your
tax obligation, you need to choose the right type of iTax returns and file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To know more on different types of KRA tax returns which you
can file from the iTax online portal, please read our article 'KRA iTax
Returns'.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this article, we will discuss how to file KRA returns
online or iTax filing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>How to file KRA iTax returns online?</b></h2><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The steps to filing KRA returns are almost common for all
types of returns, be it your income tax for an individual, income tax for
corporates, or filing VAT returns. The only thing which differs from each type
of tax return is the details which you need to furnish and the format in which
you need to submit it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, the type of details and format for filing KRA
returns for income will be different from filing
VAT returns but the steps to file returns will be more or less similar.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The following are the steps for filing KRA returns.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Visit
the iTax filing portal using <a href="https://itax.kra.go.ke/KRA-Portal/">https://itax.kra.go.ke/KRA-Portal/</a><br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />

<li class="MsoNormal">Click
on ‘e-Returns’ or select ‘Returns’ from the navigation menu and click on
‘File Returns’.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Select
the Type, Enter your taxpayer’s PIN select the Tax obligation
applicable to you, and click ‘Next’.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Based
on the tax obligation you have selected, it opens the relevant tax form.
For example, if you have selected ‘VAT’ as your tax obligation, it will
open the VAT return form.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">This
page will take you through the filling process and will have detailed
instructions to file tax returns.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">The
instructions will also have links to download the tax returns form in Excel
or ODS format. Click the relevant link to download the template and save
it on your computer.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Fill
all applicable areas in the downloaded tax returns form and save your
document on your computer.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Make
sure you enable macros to be able to ‘Validate’ and Zip your File.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Go
to the iTax tax return filing page and select the period for which you are
filing the returns.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Upload
the zip file and agree to the terms and conditions by ticking the
checkbox.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Finally,
click ‘Submit’ button to upload the returns and click ‘OK’ for the pop-up
message ‘Do you want to upload the form’<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">On filing KRA Returns, an e-return receipt will be generated
with message return submitted successfully along with acknowledgment number.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To summarize, iTax filing process is very simple provided
all the details required to be furnished in the downloaded excel is readily
available with you. For business, it becomes much easier for filing KRA
Returns, if they are using software which can
auto-capture the details into excel format as prescribed in the iTax filing
system and upload it to complete the process of filing KRA returns.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As discussed in the above section ‘How to File KRA returns’,
the steps for itax filing is similar for all types of returns applicable for
business and individual. This makes the process of iTax filing easier and
simple.<o:p></o:p></p>Geoffrey Nevinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15269789775926439146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212830880494439957.post-49445178924107050232024-03-09T01:20:00.001+03:002024-03-09T01:20:10.425+03:00How to Identify Genuine Mobile Phone Repairs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1-CfktheLmRkm7xk2OHam3OjBAK1TbGkfaWZVvqOUcR3VTFUs5uKZv9JQnZh4MIb7VsKIA_2aG8cgx5l3SfTveBQj_lWDsff5T_4E3sDget117LhXBLxA-dmizP-nDgQ0KoN-ghZhCskctxQ9fC2_VIDUjTCqIMr9AjFPBHWzT7rmzyIk8GbS3Z7-32Y/s728/1584766604060.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="How to Identify Genuine Mobile Phone Repairs" border="0" data-original-height="481" data-original-width="728" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1-CfktheLmRkm7xk2OHam3OjBAK1TbGkfaWZVvqOUcR3VTFUs5uKZv9JQnZh4MIb7VsKIA_2aG8cgx5l3SfTveBQj_lWDsff5T_4E3sDget117LhXBLxA-dmizP-nDgQ0KoN-ghZhCskctxQ9fC2_VIDUjTCqIMr9AjFPBHWzT7rmzyIk8GbS3Z7-32Y/s16000/1584766604060.jpg" title="How to Identify Genuine Mobile Phone Repairs" /></a></div><p>Finding a quality reputable cell phone repair shop that you
can trust can often be difficult. Not all cell phone repair services are
created equal. Selecting the right cell phone repair shop not only enhances
your overall experience but also acts as a safeguard against any potential
device damage during the repair process. Here are some key factors to
consider when choosing the right cell phone repair shop.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>How to Choose the Right Phone Repair Shop</b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are several factors to consider before choosing a
phone repair shop. A cell phone repair shop’s reputation is one of the most
important factors to consider. It shows that a shop is credible and reliable.
Additionally, it’s important to find a transparent shop, with clear pricing and
warranties. Also, it’s critical to choose a repair shop that is professional.
This means they are experts in their field and know what they are doing.
Lastly, it’s key to understand what parts are being installed on your phone.
Every shop will use different quality parts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>1. Reputation</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Reputation is a significant indicator of a repair shop’s
credibility and reliability.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>Online Reviews</b></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the digital age, online reviews are the new
word-of-mouth. Review platforms such as Google, Yelp, and Facebook can offer
insight into a cell phone repair shop’s reliability and customer service. When
examining these reviews, pay attention to:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Overall
ratings<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">How
recent the reviews are<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Specific
comments about the service, and pricing<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">How
the shop responds to both positive and negative reviews<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">Don’t solely focus on the rating. Read through the reviews
to understand customers’ experiences. Finding a local cell phone repair shop
with plenty of positive reviews and testimonials is a great way to make the
right choice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>Word-of-Mouth</b></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">Don’t underestimate the value of personal recommendations.
If someone you trust had a good experience with a specific repair shop, it’s
worth considering. Similarly, avoid shops where people have had bad
experiences.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>2. Transparency</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Transparency is critical in establishing trust. A reliable
phone repair shop should be upfront about its process, pricing, and policies.
Choosing a transparent phone repair shop is a great way to determine which
business to support.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>Clear Pricing</b></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">The cost
of repair services can vary between shops. A trustworthy repair shop
will provide a clear and detailed estimate before performing any work. Be wary
of any shop that’s vague about its pricing or unwilling to give an estimate.
Most cell phone repair shops can quote you over the phone for popular repairs
such as screen and battery replacements.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>Detailed Explanation</b></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">A good repair shop will also explain what’s wrong with your
phone and the repair process. They should be able to answer any questions you
have about the repair in a way that you understand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>Warranty</b></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">Find out if the repair shop offers a warranty for their services.
A warranty is a sign of confidence in their workmanship and ensures you won’t
have to pay extra if the same problem recurs shortly after the repair. Most
cell phone repair shops offer a warranty against part defects. We recommend
finding a shop with at least a 6-month warranty.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>3. Professionalism and Expertise</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Repairing a cell phone requires specialized knowledge and
skill. Look for signs of a shop’s professionalism and expertise. Finding a cell
phone repair shop is easy, but finding a professional and experienced one is a
bit more difficult.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>Certifications</b></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">Check whether the technicians have any certifications.
Certifications from reputable organizations or specific phone manufacturers can
indicate that the technicians have the training and knowledge to repair your
device properly. Though most cell phone repair technicians are self-taught,
certifications will give you an extra sign of expertise.</p><ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>Experience</b></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">Find out how long the shop has been in business. While newer
shops can also provide excellent service, a shop that’s been in operation for
several years has likely built up a good reputation. When searching on Google,
you can normally see how long a shop has been in business.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>4. Quality of Parts</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">The quality of parts used in repairs can significantly
affect your phone’s performance. Every phone repair shop will differ in what
parts they use. We recommend choosing a phone repair shop that uses quality
parts backed by a minimum 6-month warranty against defects.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>OEM vs. Aftermarket Parts</b></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ask whether they use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
parts or aftermarket parts. While OEM parts can be more expensive, they
usually offer better quality and compatibility with your device. If they use
aftermarket parts, ensure they’re high-quality.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>5. Turnaround Time</b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lastly, consider how
long the repair will take. While some repairs require more time, the shop
should give you an estimated completion time. Just because it’s fast doesn’t
mean it's good. Most repair shops will quote you between 30 minutes and one hour
for common repairs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Conclusion</u></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">By considering the reputation, transparency,
professionalism, quality of parts, and turnaround time, you can find a cell
phone repair shop that you can trust. Do your research, ask questions, and
don’t rush your decision. Additionally, be sure to back up your data before
repair and take precautions to protect your data
from theft during the repair process. By considering these factors,
finding a reputable cell phone repair shop will be a breeze.</p>Geoffrey Nevinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15269789775926439146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212830880494439957.post-50118516730408258422024-03-09T01:06:00.006+03:002024-03-09T01:06:51.562+03:00How to Find Cheap Antivirus Software Online<div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBhjNoiwZ2wkbz2f8ETv8aY9eZVfMAhl-Xt6kqFh1SHNJnHIxzV7hFWveKVJOTq16p5aN0XVwrtmznRjDIUJz_OgKDectvcTdLbQQB7xoZ35hyFdu8XSZX3jkQHUNfEvcymmGC3orPw8FaMfZSzMYXS3R-8LFoRnBhw3IvBYkOZTtBI98RkcJ3XKeW79g/s728/1597815392726.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="How to Find Cheap Antivirus Software Online" border="0" data-original-height="485" data-original-width="728" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBhjNoiwZ2wkbz2f8ETv8aY9eZVfMAhl-Xt6kqFh1SHNJnHIxzV7hFWveKVJOTq16p5aN0XVwrtmznRjDIUJz_OgKDectvcTdLbQQB7xoZ35hyFdu8XSZX3jkQHUNfEvcymmGC3orPw8FaMfZSzMYXS3R-8LFoRnBhw3IvBYkOZTtBI98RkcJ3XKeW79g/s16000/1597815392726.jpg" title="How to Find Cheap Antivirus Software Online" /></a></div><br /> Usually the phrase economical signifies that the thing under consideration is questionable. This inexpensive car you bought, the affordable nail-polish you've tried, or the inexpensive beef you thought you'd taste. Fortunately,'s nothing defective/lacking about inexpensive anti-virus software.<br /><br />There's a developing tendency towards free antivirus and software apps are no exception. As a growing number of PC users view the worth of keeping their confidential information confidential, application programmers are turning to the point where lower prices mean succeeding in this competitive trade. This guide will explore the gap between inexpensive anti-virus applications and free anti-virus, and allow you to pick the best to suit the requirements.<br /><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;">Free vs. Inexpensive Anti-Virus software</h2><br />With a great number of amazing free anti-virus software around, it's difficult to feel people will willingly cover the service whatsoever.
