Most phones are powered down by pressing a power button after which a menu option comes up and then you select which option you want e.g Turn Off or Restart as the case may be.

(Android users should understand me better).

NOKIA
The above code will display the IMEI number of your phone, indicating it is an original Nokia phone and can be used to confirm all other android phones.

Google AdSense approval in recent years has become almost impossible especially for certain countries like Nigeria and a host of others.
Just think of Google AdSense as an advertising program by Google where publishers, website owners, YouTube creators etc. earn money by helping their visitors have access to some companies products and services.
I have being trying to get this approval since two years back to no avail.
I read a lot of articles online about the rules to achieve Google AdSense approval, along the line I kept on learning and trying out some of those things I read, yet no approval.
Until through a very painstaking thorough research I discovered that Google algorithm and manual site review for approval does not require very complicated rules to follow like what so-called SEO expert soften make us to believe.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
I asked myself some pertinent questions and after that I got exactly the trick in few steps to get my Google AdSense approved easily though by adhering to certain simple Google rules which am about to share quickly in this article.
Accepted, Google is getting stricter with AdSense approval by the day, on this too I asked myself why?
I now remembered how after failing to get Google AdSense approval a couple of years back, someone lured me into buying a fake one from him which Google banned a few hours later and my money was gone.
As if that was not enough, about 7months later due to desperation I ran into another person who sold another one to me promising me that one was super original and there was guaranty for money back.
I again wasted my hard earned income only to discover it was again fake without any refund.
So this got me kind of pissed and I vowed never to get involved in procuring anything called Google AdSense unless Google handed it to me herself.
Don’t let me bore you with my frustrating experience.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
So now let me head straight to what I found out to be the simple secret on how to get Google AdSense approval with ease.
First of all I will talk about what Google does not care about when you apply for AdSense.
All those early rules of saying the shorter your domain name the easier Google will consider you for Adsense approval and ranking by some SEO expert is no longer in vogue these days.
Google cares less about the length of your URL, at least not these days. If not, ask yourself should a blog like Linda Ikeji Blog yet ranks well on google search more than even sites with a two letter domain name.
That is to tell you there is more to it than just the domain length.

To Convert word to PDF, many will agree with me is a common challenge with people working on documents using Microsoft office.
Microsoft word is one of the office packages used most frequently in preparing documents hence it is always an issue when people want to convert from it to PDF.
May be we should try to find out why it is rampant for office users to want to convert word to pdf online.
We will do that by looking at the features of the two programs and differentiate between their functionalities.
While many may know what word and pdf are, not a lot of people will know what differences exist between them word and pdf document formats.

One important thing about these two software solutions is the fact that they possess different formats.

Web hosting companies keep growing in numbers day in day out.
Most of them come up without strict regulations because of that, standards are not followed then customers of such companies suffer.
I have seen some clients losing their entire online businesses to unstructured and unreliable web hosting companies.
This article reviews and brings you top 5 best web hosting companies of 2018 to help you make an informed choice in selecting which of them to go for.
Through very meticulous research, studying some algorithm based on real life data, we have come up with this list of hosting companies.
There are hundreds of web hosting companies and equally many different opinions on which is better.
But in my analysis, i will bring you the top 5 best web hosting companies you need to consider while thinking of hosting your website based on careful review.
After testing over 100 web hosting companies, I have streamlined my list to just 5 of them that I know I can rely strongly on .
Do not get me wrong, others may also be doing well, but they may not be superb in terms of some testing parameters which you are about to see below.
We have decided to rank these top 5 web hosting companies by the following 5 characteristic properties that matter the most to an average website owner.
Characteristic Properties of the web hosting companies in view
The question is does it really matter if a website speed is slow? The answer I can give you based on my long years of website consultancy experience is a capital YES.
Website speed matters. Research shows that about 47% of website visitors expect website to load in seconds.
So what if sites do not load faster?
The answer is simple, the website becomes frustrating to visitors who will have no patience most times to hang around longer and before you say ‘JACK’, they are off and never to come again.
Such website experiences very high bounce rates which is not good for its ranking and ultimately ecommerce business.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
There are several reasons why website could be slow, but hosting is one of the major causes.
Therefore in terms of speed, we saw DreamHost topping the chart, followed by SiteGround, Godaddy while HostGator and Bluehost fall on the same score.
To enjoy all the features and capabilities of your web host is not always straight forward and most times requires some form of technical support.
It is essential for you to choose a web hosting company with excellent technical support team for many reasons especially when you are new or not so techy.
A great support team ensures your business is not put down for a long time through their prompt and efficient responses to your queries.
Such efficiency guaranty fast resolution of issues thereby giving your business higher percentage of uptime.
What we also take into account apart from the speed of response from the support team is the quality of feedback .
Therefore, when it comes to customer support, we realized from our findings that the clear winner here is SiteGround followed by Godaddy and then HostGator, BlueHost and DreamHost.
Uptime refers to the percentage of time that your host service is working perfectly and serving up your website users.
For obvious reasons, this a key index in determining the best web hosting company.
For our testing we made use of pingdom to create accounts alongside other tools to carry out the verification exercise.
I wasn’t disappointed much in terms of site uptime for most of the web hosting companies we tested.
After 14 days of testing, HostGator, BlueHost, SiteGround and DreamHost were all up throughout the 14 days, while Godaddy went down for a few minutes and returned thereafter.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
So based on uptime, most of these 5 web hosting companies were found to be up and running 100% during the time of our investigation.
Although ideally, a test of these nature is to be carried out for several months or even a year to really determine which web hosting company has the highest uptime.
Because the 14 days was just to give a rough idea of how it may likely look for a longer duration.
A domain name is a name that is used to represent a group of numbers called IP address.
An IP address(internet protocol) is a unique set of numbers assigned to each computer on the internet.
Domain names were created to make IP addresses more human-friendly.
Just think of an IP address as a street address. They identify where computers are located on the internet.

Nokia establishment in a bid to recapture the smartphone market has recently been involved in bringing out some powerful gadgets in the likes of Nokia 3310, 5, 6.0,6.1 etc.
The fact is that Nokia as a brand still has a sizeable number of fans with some passion reserved in one corner of their hearts for the corporation’s products.
For some, the ruggedness of the products which they used to enjoy with Nokia maybe what still endears them to the products or why the old love still exist.
While others, it may be the battery life strength their products held as a strong point in those days.

Amazon hub is a sophisticated solution developed to help you receive and store your parcels at your residence even when you are not around.
This system was launched by Amazon corporation a few years back with the aim of helping families leave better lives.
It is a fast and easy way to receive parcels from any sender, anywhere.
In this article, talkinfotech will discuss Amazon Hub in details with regards to the following :
Think of a situation where you are planning a wedding ceremony and you are expecting a parcel to be delivered to you meant for the event the next day, let’s say your bride’s wedding gown and rings.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
And due to unforeseen circumstances, the delivery company arrives your location very late and you are not around in your residence to receive the item, then the dispatch man tries to reach you on the phone, but your phone is plugged charging while you are attending to some other urgent issues relating to the ceremony.
Then after much effort, the dispatch officer fails to get through and he eventually leaves with the parcel to their office.
Unfortunately, the parcel delivery organisation opens late on Saturday which happens to be your wedding day.
The ceremony was fixed for 10 am while the delivery company resumes at 10 am as well.
Already, it is very clear plans have been disrupted and may end up affecting the entire wedding arrangement.
Someone may want to tell me, hey! With early and proper planning there won’t be such mess. But may I also tell you no matter how well planned at times things still could go wrong.
From this scenario, if you had Amazon hub in your home, all the dispatch man needed to do was to drop the parcel in your hub and go; anytime you are around, you just open and retrieve your item no matter the time of the day.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
So look at Amazon hub as a friend that will be there for you when you are not available to receive, secure and safeguard your items delivered to your home for you.
How Does Amazon Hub Work?
So how does it work?
It is quite simple and straightforward. Packages sent to your home will be delivered to the hub.
Whenever you are ready to pick up your package, head to the hub and type in your pickup code and the hub door flings open on its own accord and you reach out to your item then pick it out.
Grab your package and enjoy. You can pick up a package from any sender, any company or group of individuals no matter where it was sent from, no matter the time of the day, in the morning, in the afternoon or late in the night, at your convenience.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
The hub is always open and conveniently located within your residence to make picking of package jiffy and as snappy as possible.
Meanwhile, structurally the hub has a cluster of boxes built finely and smoothly secured to an enclosed panel like a cupboard with a digital display screen which will allow you key in your pickup code.
It is highly safe and easily accessible by you since it is around your residence.
But how do you get the pickup code? It is simple, the code is generated and sent automatically to your mobile phone or email as soon as the delivery company arrives your home with the parcel.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
What Does The Hub Focus On?
The system focuses on residential locations and not for public locations.
Unlike a couple of other systems you find in malls, grocery stores etc, this solution is meant for private homes.
And it is not all residences that Amazon can install this solution in. There have to be some criteria met to qualify for the hosting of the hub in the residence.
How it is different from Amazon locker
So it will easy to wonder if there is any difference between Amazon Hub and Amazon locker.
Lockers are meant to be deployed in public locations like malls, grocery stores etc.
While Hubs are meant purely for residential places.
Amazon lockers receive parcels only from Amazon and not from other carriers.
But Hub receives from all carriers including Amazon.
And because hubs are located in private residences, they can be accessed any time of the day, while access to lockers depends on whether or not the location where they are kept is open.
Five superb advantages of Amazon hub and why it is a must get

Hence, there is no longer need rushing out of that important engagement home just for the reason you are expecting a parcel.
This entails that right in your residence you can walk up to the hub any time of the day to pick up your item.

One of the major issues faced by parcels delivery service companies is the fact that there are often challenges of parcels theft and tampering.
But with Amazon Hub, you have peace of mind as it keeps your item safe for you.
While Amazon locker accepts packages only from Amazon, the hub receives and accepts items from all persons or organizations.
Therefore, you do not need to worry whether the Hub will accept parcels from the likes of DHL, FedEx, UPS, or any other individual sending your parcels. Because definitely, it will accept parcels from them all.
