This is Doogee’s youth series or so it is called which is where the Y in the name comes from. The Doogee Y7 features specs for the younger generation like an impressive camera, colourful display and stylish design. All.of these put together and the affordable price tag makes it more ideal for the target audience. The smartphone belongs to the mid-range category with the specs featured here and with a budget price that gives it a value for money stance.
Doogee endeavours to instill some premium look in a budget manner on the smartphone, in a way that leaves it premium from afar and budget up close. You’ve got the notch on the top of the smartphone, and quite a chunk of bezel at the bottom tagged with ‘Doogee’. Over to the back, you’ve got a rather common dual vertical sensor module with a flash below it and a fingerprint scanner to the center. Available colour variants include aurora blue, phantom purple and obsidian black.
The screen lights up to reveal some decent colour reproduction and good viewing angle. Crowned with a notch at the top, the smartphone screen maintains a rather average size. Everything seems good enough though, with a 1080 x 2280 pixels resolution on point for visuals.
Battery and CameraTaking into note just how long the Doogee Y7 will last, it is safe to say that the smartphone will stay on going about the day’s work. This is done with the 3, 400mAh battery supplying power but that capacity is not much for heavy usage. At the end of the day, you’ll be using a MicroUSB cord to charge your phone which is a bit outdated for a trendy ‘Youth’ smartphone.
As a smartphone meant for the youth, the Doogee Y7 does come with a good set of cameras as much as the price tag will allow. On the rear side is a 16MP main camera combined with a 13MP sensor for a better performance. Besides photography, the 16MP front camera is also used for the face unlock feature on the smartphone.
Hardware and SoftwareEntering into the details of the innards on the smartphone, you would find a Cortex-A55 core Spreadtrum chipset. That is the octa-core SC9863A processor and a 3GB internal memory easing multi-tasking but not that much of a ease anyway looking at how 4GB RAM phones are now common these days. You’ve got 32GB of storage space on the smartphone and can take up to a 64GB memory card. It has Android 8.1 Oreo installed on it as well as the OEM’s UI.
Doogee Y7 Pricing and AvailabilityThe smartphone goes for about 58, 000 Naira depending on the deal and your location.

With privacy concerns and breaches, spammers, hackers, and public WiFis lingering everywhere, there are many reasons to consider using a VPN. There are also quite a number of benefits attached to using one (read: VPN). However, depending on factors like features, pricing, and purpose, there’s the issue of choosing the best VPN service(s) to use. Because while some VPNs secures your online presence, they sort of reduce bandwidth speed, leaving users searching for ways to speed up their VPN. If you are in search of a VPN that provides the basic (and complex) functionalities and doesn’t compromise on speed, then you should check out FastestVPN.
Based in Cayman Island, FastestVPN (as the name obviously hints) is a relatively new entrant to the VPN scene. However, despite the status and duration of the company’s entrance into the market, FastestVPN boasts of advanced and basic features you’d find on premium VPNs. Is “fast and secure” your thing? Then check out some of the features of FastestVPN.
FastestVPN Key Features Unlimited Bandwidth and Server SwitchingFastestVPN isn’t one of such VPN providers that places a limit on the amount of data you can upload and download while using the service. The restriction-free bandwidth is also accompanied by restriction-free location change. With FastestVPN, you can switch servers as many times as you want, as many times as you need to. No limits whatsoever.
DNS Leak ProtectionAsides speed, FastestVPN also boasts of some high-level security properties like built-in DNS leak protection. When searching for the best VPN for any use case, DNS leak protection is one of the top features to look out for. A DNS leak is a scenario whereby your internet connection is routed through some other channels outside the VPN tunnel/server, exposing your real IP address in the process.
Malware ProtectionJust like every other big-league VPN service provider, FatestVPN runs malware protection on the backend to protect you from websites that may try to infect your device with old or new malicious malware. The malware protection feature of FastestVPN runs by default and is supported across all devices you use the VPN from — Mac or Windows PC, Android or iOS smartphones and tablets, game consoles like PS4 and XBox, TV dongles like Roku and Amazon FireStick etc.
Ad BlockerThis is another feature of FastestVPN that runs by default. This feature is pretty straightforward — the VPN makes your surfing experience a smooth one by eliminating all types of annoying ads (sidebar ads, pop-ups etc.)
Kill Switch & WiFi SecurityKill Switch is just another very important feature a VPN should support in this era. Kill Switch is the ability of a VPN to keep you, your device(s), and your data safe by automatically cutting off your internet connection in the case of a VPN failure. The WiFi Security feature of the device, on the other hand, keeps your device away from the dangers of public WiFi networks and even the private ones.
Unix-based P2P ServersSome of FastestVPN’s servers are optimized for Peer-to-Peer file sharing which allow users download files at ultra-high speed when they choose these servers. This, plus its support for torrenting apps, makes FastestVPn a great choice for download fanatics.
Supported devicesAs mentioned earlier, FastestVPN supports Mac, Linux, and Windows PC, Android and iOS devices, gaming consoles (PlayStation 3 and 4) and as many devices that might require the use of a VPN. Also, asides the fact that it is compatible with up to 20 different devices and 11 different types of routers, FastestVPN also allows the use of a single subscription/account on 10 devices simultaneously.
Plans and Pricing
FastestVPN currently offers its services in monthly and annual plans. Monthly subscription to the service costs $10/month while the annual plan costs $29.95 (i.e $2.49/month). There is also a triennial (3-year) plan which is billed $39.95 (at $1.11/month).
The company is presently running a $49.95 “Winter Sale Mega Offer” which allows buyers and subscribers save $550 on a 5-year plan which initially costs $600.
All subscription plans come with the same features, 7-day money back guarantee, and can be used on up to 10 different devices simultaneously.

The conventional route to becoming a journalist is through the university where you obtain a relevant degree in journalism broadly known as mass communication or media studies. You can also study whatever course you like in the university and still practice journalism but you have to do a post graduate diploma in journalism or enroll for a professional course in its related disciplines.
However, if you don’t own a degree but you have this severe passion for journalism, you can still fit in, after all not all of the journalists you find out there in the field today are degree holders but through sheer diligence, same passion as yours and perseverance they were able to get there.
So the following steps will serve as a guide for you if you want to become a journalist without a degree.
1. Marry The MediaBy now, the question of passion is not subject to dispute, if it is then I’ll kindly advice you to pause for a moment and have rethink because without passion you are going nowhere.
If passion is not a stumbling block, marriage is next. Marry the media. There isn’t a better way to stress this. You can’t be a journalist if you avoid the papers, change channels away from breaking news to TV shows or find radio listening sections boring.
Most persons have turned journalists just by their addiction to news whether in print or digital. By constantly staying glued to the media world, journalism will eventually rub off on you and it’ll seem so natural.
Most naija news sites you find online aren’t floated by degree bagging journalists, just some bunch of determined media enthusiasts who have married the media for years.
2. Volunteer as an InternNow that you are well acquainted with how daily news, columns, opinions are written as well as other jargons associated with the industry, it is time to get involved.
Since you don’t have a degree, no one will employ you yet just because you can write and edit news. Volunteer as intern in one of the local media houses around you. Could be a radio station, newspaper or magazine company but volunteer.
Denzel Washington in one of his iconic motivational videos said,
“If you hang around the barbers shop long enough, sooner or later you’re gonna get a haircut”
just by hanging around the media industry often, you’ll begin to learn ropes, your curiosity will manifest in you asking questions and your loyalty will be earning you answers. Sooner or later, busy bosses will start assigning little tasks to you and you’re gaining the experience.
Reporters will start tagging along in their frequent field works, you could hold the camera or hold the recorder and you’re gaining the experience. One day you’ll catch your big break and without a degree, you’ll become a journalist.
3. Get CertifiedYou don’t have a degree in journalism, that’s a given, but you have a boatload of experience that degree holders don’t have. You are many steps ahead of them but you need to get certified.
By getting certified, I mean enrolling for a diploma course in journalism to have a certificate in times when you need to scale up the ladder in the journalism profession. There are so many institutes that can certify you with just a 3 months or 6 months crash programme in a specific area of journalism.
You don’t need to go to the university for this. This certification is important if you really want to go further. Naturally, with the first and second sub-headings, you should be gainfully employed by a local media house, an online magazine, an online news blog and most naija news site would happily employ you but in the eyes of the professional world you are still a rookie and would be taken for granted. So get certified.
ConclusionThere are lots of things in these amazing world of ours that doesn’t come so easy and our dear journalism is one of them. So have that in mind. Most media houses will reject you for the internship, getting a certification could be expensive but you have to be resilient, continue striving and the sky as they say will be your foot mat.

You should check on your organic traffic at least once a month in order to know if you are gaining or losing organic traffic.
This is going to be the best indication of whether your SEO efforts are paying off or not. In order to check out your organic traffic chart you need to open the Google Analytics then go to Acquisitions > All Traffic > Channels.

In order to find the behavior flow, go to Google Analytics, then to Behaviour > Behaviour Flow. The behavior flow will show you how users are interacting with your content. It will provide you with a visual representation of all the problem areas on which you need to concentrate on.
Track ConversionsIt all comes down to conversions. This is the one thing that you want to track which is to determine if your website is a success or not.
Conversion includes everything the users do while on your website such as engaging with your social media buttons, call-to-action, signing up for your newsletter, etc. it is always great to have a lot of people reading your content, but if they are not interacting with your website enough, then your website will not grow.

The greatest numbers of Facebook users are in India and the United States. Next, come to Brazil and Indonesia. This shows that in these countries, there is Internet freedom. It also reflects the economic wealth and population size in these countries.
Similarly, if we talk about Instagram, there are a higher number of users as compared to Facebook. In China, there is no Internet freedom because Instagram and Facebook are banned in China. In China, there is an application called WeChat which has almost 1 billion users.
8. Traffic on Instagram and Facebook:
On Instagram, there are more likes as compared to Facebook which has comparatively fewer likes than Instagram. There is also more traffic on Instagram as compare to Facebook which has less traffic.
Facebook traffic takes 105.55 seconds per visit site as compare to Instagram Traffic that takes 192.04 seconds per visit site. Now you can also pay to Instagram in which Instagram boost your post by increasing the post visibility and also adding a direct link to the post.
Final Thoughts:I have described various points in which I compared Facebook with Instagram and I come to the conclusion that Instagram is better than Facebook. An Instagram greater number of users, its high reach, its higher engagement rates, its ads and also the best business growth most importantly make it superior to Facebook. Traffic rates are also higher than Facebook. Also, a photo sharing application takes the less time of the viewers and users to make it more worthy.

Safety and security in the context of IT have become a prime concern now. Engineers are constantly striving to find ways to send information over the computer networks as securely as possible. Whether we share files or transfer files, this needs to be done in a secure manner.
This is not surprising since stolen data can cause irreparable damage to businesses and individuals alike. This is also the case with LAN messenger services. This type of service can revolutionize communication within a location or local area network (LAN).
With LAN instant messenger for Windows by Softros, managers and employees can communicate with their fellow employees in an instant, without having to leave their desk.
The problem is that these early messenger services, including newer ones based on social media, are not safe from a security standpoint.
It is relatively easy for prying eyes to hack into the system and read messages. There are safer options available, and one such option that is leading the way is Softros LAN Messenger.
The Softros Messaging App for Offices.Softros is an easy, user-friendly and secure intra-office messaging system that can be used on MAC OS, Android and Windows 10 and lower devices. Setting it up is easy and fast, and part of the reason why it is safe is that it does not rely on a server.
The Softros messaging system comes with several useful features such as group LAN chat rooms, PC-to-PC messaging, drag and drop file transfer and broadcast messaging. All the conversations between users stay within the local network and never get leaked. It is this capability that gives the client peace of mind to freely discuss matters with each other without fear of eavesdropping.
Other features of Softros include: Message History Remote Desktop Sharing VLAN, WAN, VPN, LAN Compatible Control User Access Exporting, Importing and Configuring Access AES-256 Data Encryption Offline MessagingMessage History: This feature comes with the capability that allows users to see all the conversations with other users. There is even a print option if you want to print the chats.
Remote Desktop Sharing: If a user is having issues with the desktop, then there is no problem. This is because, with remote desktop sharing, a colleague can access the computer remotely and safely provide help.
VLAN, WAN, VPN, LAN Support: Regardless of what the network architecture is, Softros can be configured to make it a single messaging system. The office will no longer be limited by location or subnets.
Controlling Access: Most of the features found on Softros can be controlled by the network administrator. This is important for businesses that want to keep a certain level of discipline in the office environment.
Export, Import, and Configure: Softros comes with built-in features to allow administrators to automate the distribution of Softros’s settings. This could be user groups, licensing, network and administrative settings. This is useful for offices that do not have Active Directory with the Domain controller.
AES-256: AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard, and it is the heart and soul of Softros’s security capability. AES-256 cannot be cracked because of its huge combination of encryption keys.
Offline Messaging: With offline messaging, there is no need to wait for the recipient to be present or online. The receiver will see the message or LAN chat the next time they log in.
One of the ways Softros messenger can protect our data is to decrease the number of firewall ports it opens to transfer data. Not only does this save bandwidth, it greatly decreases the chance of attacks from IM worms, malware, and hackers.
Getting Used to It
Next on the list of why Softros LAN chat is worth it is ease of use. The interface is easy and intuitive even for the laziest user. Employees do not have to undergo additional training to start using it.
Even if they want to customize it to their liking, they can do it without calling technical support. Once it is up and running, it will work as a standalone, peer-to-peer messaging service. The set-up process is easy and straightforward. All that is required is to download the software and follow the instructions.
Get a Free TrialThe good news is that you can download and try out the Softros LAN chat software for free. So, if being able to chat, share files, and transfer files securely sound like a good thing, then now is the time to give Softros a try. Once downloaded and installed, you have a full month of free use to make up your mind.

Technology has change the way we acquire education degrees. According to our research and online interviews, experts believe that many employers pay more attention to skills without college degrees than those with college degrees but this is most likely applicable to those in the technology field.
Here are what experts think about the effects of digital learning in education and employment system.
Our research with 200 manufacturing employers showed that companies are less interested in degrees than with skills. IBM says that a full 1/3 of manufacturing jobs in their US Plants don’t require a college degree.
New programs like Digital Badges fill these employer needs, especially for digital New Collar Jobs using disruptive technologies like 3D Printing, robotics, or CAD design, and are more economical for students. They are also an excellent pathway for anyone who is seeking a career.

I work in online education providing free Microsoft Excel training to millions of Excel users who’ve visited Excel Exposure since its inception. The amazing changes and improvements that I’ve seen to the available options and quality of online training is staggering and has only been increasing year over year. When properly cultivated from meaningful resources, a compelling digital education can easily exceed the ability of a primary teaching institution.
The combination of at-your-fingertips information and the ability to learn what you want, when you want, provides a much more pointed learning process and, for better or worse, can allow a honing of skills in a very specific area with skill-sets that may be hard to attain in a physical classroom.
Schools are learning this as well and offering both physical and online classes to ensure they’re able to compete with these fantastic online resources.

Blockchain offers the educational system many advantages:
The universal plus of blockchain technologies is, of course, the storage of verified information about the owners of the corresponding keys. For universities and colleges, this means much faster interaction with students and their potential recruiters. It is not a secret that today employers have to wait a rather long time — sometimes several weeks — to check the authenticity of students’ documents. Blockchain offers near-instantaneous delivery of information with the security that all documentation is genuine. Educational institutions that avail of this technology will definitely stand well with both applicants and recruiters thanks to the lack of bureaucracy.
Here are some of the specific advantages of blockchain in education: First, students get a unique opportunity to supplement their record of accomplishment. Employers want to see clear skills from applicants beyond having completed a liberal arts education. Blockchain successfully integrates proof of skill sets such as project work or online certification with general educational information such as transcripts, creating a whole picture of a job candidate for recruiters, and freeing students from having to create such a portfolio.
Secondly, blockchain technology squeezes out student plagiarism. Today plagiarism checkers have a good track record, yet such programs still don’t have 100 per cent reliability. In addition, blockchain technologies quickly and efficiently identify traces of plagiarism in numerous documents submitted by applicants during the admissions process. The very idea that plagiarism, forever fixed in the blockchain, remains a kind of “black spot” for their entire future education and careers will give students incentive to do the right thing from early on.
Thirdly, blockchain serves as an effective means for universities to manage their financial affairs. For example, the sheer numbers of students matriculating at colleges and universities today mean admissions recruitment and related programs such as scholarship applications means a barrage of paperwork and recordkeeping for higher education administrators. The review and debates involved with student applications only compound the labour involved. Blockchain technology will streamline the college/university admissions process, meaning admissions and scholarship decisions and fund disbursement can happen in a near-instant. The blockchain is also a great solution for educational institutions’ overall operating budgets, from office expenses to the salaries of those charged with recordkeeping and document verification.
In essence, blockchain in education is not only a response to academia’s needs but a way for universities to reach the next level in technology.

With Digital Transformation already well underway, academic institutions across Australia, and in particular, the Department of Education has embraced Digital Technologies as part of their customer service strategies. The areas affected are wide-reaching:
Grading & Assessments – AI has been used for decades in the automation of marking and is now being utilized for qualitative analysis by identifying keywords, themes and plagiarism.
Personalised Learning – Virtual Assistants are being developed to provide individualized and appropriately paced learning support, offering feedback and coordinating with teachers.
Connected Analytics – Working towards a truly singular view of a student and their progress. Drawing information from multiple data sources, locations and devices (mobile handsets, tablets, desktop/laptops, voice interfaces, etc) to provide feedback on learning areas that need to be re-enforced and successful curriculum content.
Emotional Analytics – Providing a view of a student’s emotional well-being. Curriculum – Just like more generalised Computer Programming skills, AI design and development will be a key part of education; building a solution in the same way students used electronic kits to build radios in the past.
Education Delivery – AI, along with collaborative workplaces, omnichannel and general connectivity, will change the operating model for schools. Adaptive physical learning spaces will enable reconfiguration based on the learning model. Collaboration & Connectivity – Leading experts providing tuition across-state through Hologram-like technology. Teachers providing support to small groups in a physical space. Virtual Assistants coaching individuals relaying information back to the teacher.

Digital learning has already changed school and education. There are so many platforms out there like udemy, coursera, khan academy and others that provide free courses also some paid that can help you learn new skill sets, takes certifications and degrees online and not have to go to school/universities etc.
Harvard, MIT and others have also started online courses for free and a fraction of the price compared to coming to campus and taking them. They have noticed the shift in online education and are adapting to it.
Most successful entrepreneurs these days constantly talk about how school and colleges are only making corporate slaves and with how technology is constantly changing in the next 10-15 years college education will not matter. What matters is skills that you can bring to the company in helping them grow and make money.
Fortune 100 companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon and others have also withdrawn having a college degree as a requirement for applying to a job. This shows that they know important skills are needed more than just school /college education.
Schools will need to change their approach to teaching kids if they want to stay in business. They need to teach children things that matter like languages, coding, computers, empathy, how to be human in this robotic world. This is what matters.

Digital learning will change schools and education by strengthening the education system and while helping children to learn more effectively over traditional methods. Two important digital learning trends in 2019 are devices in classrooms and a new and improved concept of personalized learning. Recent years have shown a significant increase in sets of computers in the classroom.
This was made possible in part by federal funding. Several schools receive funds, grants, and donations that give access to iPads, laptops, and Google Chromebooks to classrooms all over the country. This kind of digital learning allows students and teachers to use these devices for lessons, homework, and tests in an interactive fashion. Having computers in classrooms allows students to be introduced to some fields that are 100% digital, like the services that we offer at Codal: UX design, or software engineering. Personalized learning is attainable now more than ever. Learning is no longer restricted to the walls of a classroom.
School choices today include public, private, charter, virtual and these options are tailored to fit the needs of the student. For instance, if a student decides to take the virtual route, it could mean using online sites, services and programs as teaching tools, or as study aids built for at-home use. Ideally, digital learning allows students to be academically present in the most beneficial way, whether in the classroom or at home.
