Win-iPhones


Always wanted to get the newest Apple iPhone but haven't enough money for it? Here, on YouMobile, we're giving you TOP-3 ideas where you can win an iPhone in 2020 for free or for small price! As said before, many of us dream of getting a brand new Apple gadget like iPhone 11 Pro Max, but not everyone has the financial opportunity to buy it in a store.

Here we will consider 3 simple ways that will surely help you to get the desired prize: these will be draws on social networks and other websites, contests from known brands and online mystery boxes! 

1 - iPhone giveaways and raffles

Often, bloggers and the owner of online stores and other websites, like blogs and media, arrange the distribution of various prizes to promote their name or brand. In these draws, you can easily get free iPhone or other valuable rewards (computers, flight and cruise tickets, clothes, etc).

 

 

The conditions for participation are always different, each organizer tries to bring something new and original to the process. To take part in such draws, as a rule, you need:

  • subscribe to the brand page on a social network (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram) or e-mail newsletter;

  • pass a survey on the brand page;

  • earn entries on giveaway page (made, for example, on Gleam.io

  • correctly answer the quiz questions;

  • buy goods for a certain amount and register the check/purchase number;

βœ… The main advantage of this way is the ability to receive a product for free by winning it in the raffle. You don't lose anything just by trying your luck. 

❌ The disadvantages include a big chance of losing - there are usually a lot of people who want to take part in the competition, so it's REALLY hard to win a new Apple iPhone this way.

Popular giveaways   

One of the most popular giveaways where the prizes were iPhones were ran by 9to5Mac.com, idropnews.com and thenextweb.co. On 9to5Mac you could win an Apple iPhone 11 and USB-C flash drive, at iDropNews the prize was Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max, and at TheNextWeb - iPhone 11, AirPods and Belkin wireless charging device!

2 - Contests for Apple iPhone     

In addition to online sites, draws are also held offline. For example, you can try to write a useful program, eat the hotdogs in the allotted time or hit all targets from a children's slingshot to get the prize. On the one hand, it seems that this is a simple way, but in fact, everything is much more complicated.

 

 

 

βœ…The advantages of this method:

  • using your strength and ingenuity to receive the coveted prize;

  • a limited number of participants and less competition;

  • the ability to immediately pick up your winning.

❌ Significant disadvantages:

  • there is no guarantee that you will cope with the task;

  • perhaps someone will be more dexterous;

  • some tasks may be harmful to health;

  • usually, there is a video broadcast of everything that happens.

Popular contests

Currently, the following companies offer valuable prizes when participating in their competitions:

  • ProcterandGamble and Sambury;

  • Subway;

  • Erich Krause;

  • Henkel.

To participate, you need to purchase the products of the above brands and apply them on the official website of each of them. Also, many bloggers arrange streams on YouTube, where you can get the coveted gadget.

Top-bitcoin-hotspots

 

Introduction

Cryptocurrencies are truly a, global phenomena. They are digital assets, which are not subject to borders and fluctuations. In other words, they retain their value in just the same manner across countries and continents. 

The value of One Bitcoin would be the same whether it was used in New York or in Addis Ababa. Can you imagine a world, where we did not have to transfer cash, by paying a hefty transaction fee? Alternatively, a world, where our assets and currency was not under government control and untaxable? Or my personal best, a world, where access and inclusion of the poorest poor in the world would be done without any complication. 

Yes, Bitcoin makes all this possible and has several other benefits. In this article, we bring you a list of some of the world's top Bitcoin hotspots. The best part about the list is that these hotspots are not located in one country or even continent. You will find them available in different parts of the world.

Top Ten Bitcoin Hotspots in the World: The List

We have compiled the list based on certain factors. All the hotspots have been arranged according to the number of merchants accepting Bitcoins in these places. We have also taken into consideration, the greatest number of Bitcoin ATMs, which are located at these locations. Lastly, we have filtered in the number of Cryptocurrency Exchanges, which are located in these places. 

We have arranged the list based on the maximum to minimum factors. For example, San Francisco has the highest number of merchants and Bitcoin ATMs than anywhere else in the world. 

  1. San Francisco

  2. Vancouver

  3. Amsterdam

  4. Ljubljana

  5. Tel Aviv

  6. Zurich

  7. Tampa

  8. Buenos Aires

  9. New York

  10. London

Why are Bitcoin Hotspots located in these locations?

One of the major reasons that the Bitcoin hotspots are located in these places is because of acceptance from government authorities. For example, the US is ambivalent when it comes to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. 

They have not banned Bitcoins, neither have they made them legal tender. In comparison, Canada welcomes Bitcoin, subject to one core principle. Bitcoins or cryptocurrencies cannot be used for Money Laundering activities. 

Places such as Ljubljana in Slovenia in Eastern Europe have seen very less regulations and governmental interference. Miners too prefer these kinds of locations because of easy availability of land and cheap electricity. 

London and Zurich host some of the biggest Bitcoin Exchanges in the world. London boasts of having ‘Coinfloor', as well as having the biggest Bitcoin Meet-Up Group in the world. The membership is an astounding 2311 members. 

Other places or hotspots who have narrowly missed the list are Malta and Cyprus. Other countries where Bitcoin is very popular, but have not figured on the list are Venezuela and Zimbabwe. These countries are too unstable in economic terms. 

Is there a possibility of Bitcoin Hotspots to increase in different locations?

Up until 2017, China was one of the major Bitcoin hotspots in the world. However, the Chinese government banned Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies in late 2017. In recent news, the Indian Supreme Court struck down a Government and Central ruling on declaring Bitcoins as illegal. 

India is expected to emerge as one of the strongest markets for Bitcoin in the world. Given the recent Supreme Court ruling, the entire Bitcoin ecosystem is closely watching the developments in India. 

Conclusion

Trading in Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies, has given rise to making Bitcoin much more mainstream. In different parts of the world, crypto trading through bitcoin era have enabled common people to earn sizable profits. Increase in Bitcoin trading is sure to increase the number of Bitcoin hotspots in different countries and regions. 



Global-cryptocurrencies

 

Introduction

When the US state of Ohio announced in late 2018, that it is going to be the first state to accept taxes in Bitcoins, it sent a strong signal worldwide. The Governor of Ohio stated that the state will not start accepting 23 different kinds of taxes in Bitcoins. 

The intention was to allow more people to pay taxes in ways, which were convenient for them. This was also done as a means to attract investors and businesses operating in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The State Treasury Head, Mr. Josh Mandel was proud in proclaiming Ohio to be a state, which is pioneering Blockchain technology. Bitcoin has been very favourable in various countries in recent days. 

Ohio is not the only state that has adopted a favourable response to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In this article, we will look at how states and cities are using Bitcoin to power growth stories for their population. 

Why Small States and Cities are taking the lead in Cryptocurrency adoption?

Most of the old states in the American Union have been severely affected because of outsourcing. There are towns, cities and states, which have lost factories, mining, heavy manufacturing because they have been outsourced to third world countries. 

The government in these regions are betting big on investors coming to these regions to innovate on Bitcoin and Blockchain technology. States are wooing investors in many ways. Some of them are-

  1. Easy access to land at a convenient spot in the city. 

  2. Cheap electricity for Mining activities and maintaining Data Records of Blockchain

  3. Exempting cryptocurrencies for paying transaction fees.

  4. Easy business licenses to speed up setups and start innovations. 

Tax exemptions on operating cryptocurrency businesses for the first few years. 

Some of the states, which have already removed transaction fees on cryptocurrencies are- Wyoming, Tennessee, Kansas, Texas, New Hampshire, and Illinois. Without a doubt, this number will definitely go up in the future. 

Can these Small States hope to the center for the Next Silicon Valley Revolution?

Most of the states, which have been mentioned above are expecting Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to be the next Silicon Valley wave. However, its needs to be investigated whether their expectations are correct or not?

Many experts and tech moguls have proclaimed Bitcoin to be the greatest tech invention in the world after the internet. The philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of Bitcoin are strong. It aims to create a world of financial inclusion. The success of the same for over a decade demonstrates that it is not a trend, which is going away anytime soon. 

By being one of the front-runners in the entire Bitcoin ecosystem, states are expecting businesses borne out of Bitcoin to favour them. Yes, Bitcoin or mining itself is not going to generate too many employment opportunities.

It is only associated businesses, that are using Bitcoin or Blockchain technology, which are going to the real drivers of local economies. 

Is Bitcoin a Reliable and Safe Bet for local populations and authorities?

If the recent Coronavirus pandemic and market crashes are any indication, most governments should start exploring an emergency proof currency system. There are many advantages of using cryptocurrencies. It is inflation proof, is not subject to the highs, lows of market crashes, and aims to help the lowest rungs on the financial ladder. 

Financial inclusion can be a reality for almost 2 billion of the world's unbanked population. It is no wonder then that Mark Zuckerberg, the Founder and CEO of Facebook, has jumped on the cryptocurrency bandwagon, with his own ‘Libra'.

Vaping-temperature-technology

 

When you shop for vape mods at a website like V2 Cigs UK, you'll often see the term "Temperature Control" or "TC" as you look at the more advanced devices. Temperature control is one of the most interesting technologies ever to hit the world of vaping. For those who prefer a vaping experience that's smooth, cool and never harsh, temperature control can make vaping more enjoyable than ever. Temperature control isn't for everyone, though, and it doesn't work with all vaping equipment. 

So, is temperature control vaping for you? Reading this article, you're going to learn:

  • What temperature control vaping is and how it works

  • What equipment you need for temperature control vaping

  • What the benefits and drawbacks of temperature control vaping are

What Is Temperature Control Vaping?

Temperature control is a mode that you can enable if your vaping device supports it. During normal vaping, you control the warmth and volume of the vapor by adjusting your device's wattage. In wattage-based vaping, though, it's possible for the vapor to become overly hot and harsh if you set the wattage too high. It's also possible to experience a dry hit - which is absolutely horrible - if you forget to keep your tank topped up.

When you vape in temperature control mode, your device doesn't operate at a constant wattage. Instead, you select a "preheating wattage" that delivers an initial burst of energy to your atomizer coil. You also select a maximum coil temperature. When the coil reaches that temperature, the device automatically reduces its power to maintain that temperature and prevent the vapor from becoming overly harsh. 

How Does Temperature Control Vaping Work?

The principle that makes temperature control vaping work is called Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR). TCR works like this:

  • A metal or alloy changes in electrical resistance as its temperature increases.

  • Some materials change so much in resistance during heating that you can measure the change with equipment that's affordable and readily available. A material that changes greatly in resistance during heating has a high TCR.

  • If you know the TCR of a given material - and you measure the resistance of that material in real time as it heats up - then you can estimate the material's current temperature. 

That, in short, is how temperature control vaping works. If you use an atomizer coil with a high TCR, your vaping device checks the coil's resistance in real time and uses the TCR of that material to estimate the coil's temperature. The higher the TCR of the coil material is, the more accurate the temperature estimate will be. 

What Do You Need for Temperature Control Vaping?

For temperature control vaping, you need two things.

Temperature Control Mod

You need a vaping device that supports temperature control operation. Most modern box mods do support temperature control, so if you own a regulated box mod purchased in the last few years, you most likely already have a temperature control mod. 

The mod must also know the TCR of the coil material that you want to use. Most temperature control mods have built-in support for nickel, titanium and stainless-steel coils. Your mod may also allow you to enter a custom TCR.

A mod that doesn't support temperature control operation should never be used with nickel or titanium coils because the resistances of those materials are too low for wattage-based vaping. Stainless-steel coils, however, work for both temperature control and wattage-based vaping.

Temperature Control Coil

You also need a tank or rebuildable atomizer with a coil made from a high-TCR material. As mentioned above, the most common temperature control coils are made from nickel, titanium and stainless steel. You can find stainless-steel coils for many vaping tanks, and those coils will support temperature control mode. Pre-built nickel and titanium coils, however, can be difficult to find.

The other two alloys commonly used for vaping coils - kanthal and nichrome - do not change greatly in resistance when they're heated. Because they are both low-TCR materials, they do not work for temperature control vaping.

What Are the Benefits of Temperature Control?

If you like your vapor to remain cool and smooth at all times, you're going to love temperature control vaping. Temperature control drastically limits the heat that comes from the coil during vaping, so the vapor never becomes as warm as it does during wattage-based vaping.

The greatest benefit of temperature control, though, is that it makes dry hits virtually impossible. A dry hit happens if you vape at too high a wattage or forget to refill your tank. When you vape, the atomizer coil transfers its heat energy to the e-liquid, turning the e-liquid to vapor. For that to happen, though, the coil must be wet. If the coil is dry, it quickly overheats, glowing orange and releasing noxious fumes. That's called a dry hit - and when a dry hit happens, there's no warning. You don't know it's happening until you're already inhaling the fumes. It's a horrible experience.

When you're vaping in temperature control mode, a dry hit generally can't happen because your device detects the temperature increase and immediately cuts power. Instead of producing a dry hit, the device simply stops producing vapor at all. You'll realize that you've forgotten to fill your tank, and you'll refill it.

What Are the Drawbacks of Temperature Control?

Temperature control vaping has two drawbacks. The first drawback is that nickel and titanium produce the most accurate temperature measurements, and you're not likely to find coils made from either of those materials for your tank. Nickel and titanium coils don't have particularly good vapor production, and some people find that those coil materials can produce off flavors. You'll generally need to use a stainless-steel coil if you want to experience temperature control vaping with a modern tank, and some mods don't produce very accurate temperature measurements with stainless steel.

The second drawback of temperature control vaping is that you're not going to get the kind of vapor production in temperature control mode that you get in wattage mode. In wattage-based vaping, the atomizer coil reaches much higher temperatures than temperature control mode will allow. If you want to try temperature control vaping, you should expect very modest vapor clouds compared to the clouds that your device might produce in wattage mode.

 


Business-mobile-laptop

 

Who would have guessed back in the early 90s that we'd be walking around with hand-sized internet connected computers in only 2 decades, but here we are. The technological development has also meant that companies have to keep up with technology - or be eaten by competition. The amount of work related travel is increasing and people are working more from home, and mobile devices are essential

 

Not Just Gadgets Anymore

Mobile device technology has developed to a point where what used to be called " gadgets" can actually give a great productivity boost to a business. But the questions is, which devices are really needed? After all, the worst thing a company can do is to pour money into expensive technological investments that won't pay themselves back. At best, investing in technology can give a significant productivity boost and a good return on investment. Mobile devices have become just as serious investments any other usual investment in hardware and other semi-fixed capital, like an office printer or a company car, and are even equally covered by common business insurances. Let's have a look at mobile devices that provide essential support for business operations.

 

1. Smart phone

This is pretty obvious one and you probably wonder why is it even here? The reality is, that for several reasons, everyone really doesn't have a smartphone, and in these cases it's up to the employer to equip them with the necessary tools s for today's business. The first group are older people who don't mind using an older flip phone and actually prefer them, regarding smart phones as too complicated. The second group are new young anti-techies who believe that life is better with limited technology exposure. There might be some sense in that, but it doesn't mean that it would be a good idea to work without a smartphone. It would thus be a good idea to provide these employees with a free, possible cheaper smartphone model to keep them more integrated in the daily business of the company.

 

2. Tablet

A conference room tablet is very handy for presentations as well as passing notes or showing documents or files, especially at meetings. A tablet can be used to manage presentation slides, videos and other features very conveniently while talking and being engaged with the audience. It's also very handy to open documents and show them to others during a meeting or even during normal course of work.

 

3. E-reader

 

Ereader

 

Screen fatigue is a real problem, though it's not discussed much. E-readers' e-ink technology doesn't strain the eyes and is thus less stressful to the whole psyche of employees. Staring at the blue light of computers in rooms full of artificial fluorescent light is deemed to drain one's mind, especially one's creative energy and capabilities. In addition to usual creativity, this can weaken problem solving skills and make workers just generally less creative in their approach to anything. E-readers can give a great productivity boost especially in creative industries.

 

4. Portable projector

Smartphone screens have grown in the past few years, but they are still not big enough for multiple people to look at them or to comfortably watch longer videos. Portable projectors are very quick and easy to set up and enable multiple people to look at the same time, e.g. for a presentation. A few portable projectors will surely make life easier at the workplace and especially during work related travel, for example at a client meeting. And if worst come to worst, they can be used as backups for normal projectors.

 

5. Credit card reader

Credit card reader is the messiah to all small businesses who are trying minimize their fixed costs or operate in multiple locations. Traditional credit card readers are big and bulky machines that cost a lot and usually need to be plugged in. Services like iZettle offer cheap credit card readers that are also small and easy to use. Even a small business can afford to buy multiple pieces of these, enabling flexibility in the amount of checkout points in stores, and also payments on the road.
