In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, a smartphone is a must-have appendage to keep up with one’s daily grind. But one feature that rarely takes the spotlight, yet very much deserves it, is Fast Charging.
Go-getters would know that the last thing that they want is for their smartphone to slow them down. And the best smartphone of choice to date, that will be up and running as you are is the Vivo V17Pro.
Powered with 4,100 mAh battery, the V17Pro guarantees long battery life despite multi-app use. In layman’s term, one can enjoy a reliable phone that is versatile enough for quick document work, incessant communications via messaging apps, constant browsing, and even games, without it dying on you just after a few hours.
The Fast charging feature is the life hack you need, especially if your mantra is Rest and Reset. It’s most important to have a phone that will only require as little time to reset as you are if you’re the image of up-and-about.
There was a time when taking selfies was as basic as capturing one’s close-up image, often to highlight an appearance or a spectacular scenery in the background. While selfie shooters yearned to capture more elements in their frames, they were limited mostly by the technology of the front-facing cameras at that time.
In recent years, advancements in optics technology and software development have given birth to front-facing cameras that offer better resolution and image quality, as well as AI-enhanced photography apps. These, in turn, have transformed selfie shooting, from a mere trend, to a skill, even an artform.
Today, companies like Vivo, are taking the lead in pioneering technology that enhances the smartphone experience. This includes taking selfie shooting to new and higher levels.
Just a few months after unveiling its V15 Pro with the world’s first 32MP elevating selfie camera and an AI triple rear camera, the leading global technology company has already launched V17 Pro, the second flagship smartphone in its V series of midrange smartphones.
Now, improving from its predecessor, the V17 Pro boasts of another world’s first, an exclusive pair of front cameras—a 32MP main camera with f/2.0 aperture and 8MP 105-degree super-wide-angle camera—which ensures clearer and fuller selfies, in whatever environment.
Much like the V15’s selfie optics, the V17 Pro’s dual front cameras are tucked behind the smartphone’s notch-less Super AMOLED Ultra FullView™ Display, nestled in a wide pop-up mechanism that elevates as quickly as it retracts.
With the premium smartphone’s dual elevating selfie camera, users will never need selfie sticks to capture “groufies” or the splendid panoramic view behind them. All they have to do is access the super-wide-angle camera and “shoot beyond limits”.
For nighttime selfies, the front camera gets ample support from Selfie Softlight that lights up dark images and an exclusive Super Night Selfie mode which captures and combines multiple frames into one image to make one’s face stand out, especially in low-light conditions.

There is also a “Pose Master” feature which suggest several poses to match various photo scenes and backgrounds, to make one’s selfies even more creative.
Aside from its elevating dual selfie camera and AI powered and enhanced selfie apps, the V17 Pro also boasts of AI quad rear cameras—48MP main camera, 8MP super wide-angle, 2MP bokeh, and 2MP super macro camera—which can capture super macro images from a distance of just 4 cm., and super wide clear images, even in dark surroundings.

Utilizing 3D and Digital Imaging for Safer Surgeries
In minimally invasive surgery, fewer and smaller incisions are made on the body to lessen post-operative pain, blood loss, and scarring. Thin needles and an endoscope, a tube-shaped instrument with a camera and light, are used to guide the operation. The MonoStereo 3D System converts the 2D video captured by the endoscope into a 3D display on a monitor. Through these images, doctors can get accurate depth feedback in real-time, ensuring surgical precision and faster procedures.
Smart Surgical Glasses from Taiwan Main Orthopedics Co. Ltd. allow doctors to plan more accurately prior to surgery. As the surgeon looks at the operative site, 3D images of the patient’s bones and tissues appear on the screen, allowing them to save real-time photos. This can reduce complexity and operation time by up to 30%. An additional benefit to medical staff is less exposure to radiation from X-rays.
Keeping Sugar Levels in Check
With conditions like diabetes, ongoing monitoring of blood sugar is a necessity. Bionime’s Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems allow diabetics to easily monitor their blood sugar. The GM260 model delivers accurate results in just five seconds, using only a tiny blood sample placed on a test strip. The GM700S and GM700SB work with multiple types of blood samples, and the latter facilitate the transfer immediate transfer of results to smartphone via Bluetooth. The GM720 comes in an all-in-one fashionable case that holds additional strips and lancets.
Movement Anytime, Anywhere
Mobility becomes an issue for many people as they age. The ergonomic design and lightweight frame of Heartway Portable Scooters provide for travelling with comfort and ease. Weighing less than 27 kg, the foldable S19 Scooter Brio can be activated by one hand in seconds and may be stored inside a car trunk with no dismantling required.

Keeping your staff comfortable at work is essential for a motivated and productive workplace. Breeze Installations suggest that air conditioning installation will not only keep your workers happy, it can also help you fulfill the legal requirement to provide employees with a working environment that’s kept at a reasonable temperature.
But it’s not just about your workers’ happiness. Working in an office that’s uncomfortably hot or cold can seriously affect your employees’ productivity. Commercial air conditioning will help to regulate the temperature in your office and keep workers working.
Employers Pay the Price of Overheated Offices
There are millions of reasons why air conditioning installation can be a wise move for employers.
A survey by the Office of National Statistics revealed that overheated offices is costing British employers a combined sum of £19.3 million in lost productivity during the summer months.A staggering 92% of office workers waste up to an hour a day due to the heat.
When temperatures creep up beyond 24C, the likelihood of accidents occurring increases too, according to the British Safety Council. Concentration falters in hot weather as the body uses extra energy trying to regulate its temperature. This increases the number of mistakes we make and reduces our ability to solve problems.
As well as affecting productivity in the office, there’s also there problem of absenteeism.
Air conditioning has been shown to cut down absences from work in summertime, when offices can be unbearably hot. Health issues such as respiratory or cardiovascular problems are also exacerbated by hot temperatures and humidity,which increases the instances of sickness and time off work.
As well as hot summers, there’s another reason why modern offices are heating up. Equipment such as printers, computers, photocopiers and electrical devices are adding to workers’ misery with their additional heat output.
With hotter UK summers being predicted for the future, getting a good air conditioning system installed in your premises is a very worthwhile investment.
Air conditioning installation is one of the most effective ways to maintain optimum conditions in the office. It also keeps the air free of allergens and dust and can prevent germs and chemicals spreading through the building.
How Hot is Too Hot?
The conditions within the workplace are governed by the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
Regulation 7 of these regulations states that during working hours, “the temperature in all workplaces inside buildings shall be reasonable.”
While the law does not state a specific temperature at which to keep the working environment, a ‘reasonable’ temperature is acknowledged to be at least 16 degrees Celsius. If the work requires physical effort, the temperature should be at least 13 degrees Celsius.
The World Health Organization recommends a maximum air temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.
A good test of whether the temperature is right would be if the majority of your employees complain of the temperature being too hot or too cold. In which case, you can safely assume that the temperature is unreasonable.
Expert Air Conditioning Services
Take steps to ensure that the temperature in your workplace is primed for productivity. Breeze Installations is the air conditioning expert based in Birmingham.
The team at Breeze provides air conditioning installation across the West Midlands and UK, and also offers services such as repair and maintenance of existing commercial air conditioning.
Our air con specialists will ensure that you get the commercial air conditioning that’s right for your business and your budget.

You will also save money because you will have long lasting equipment that will not need as many improvements. This architectural design has many benefits. You will receive a flexible work environment, it will be easy to maintain cleanrooms, and you will save money in the long run.
Whenever I ran out of airtime load on my cell phone, I would either go to nearby store or call and ask my hubby to reload it for me. That’s one of the things that I dislike about having prepaid load on my cell phone.
Good thing I found this online portal about free SMS Philippines, where you get to send free text messages to mobile numbers in the Philippines without any charge. This works pretty well especially for those who work in the office as you don’t really need to go out to reload, all you have to do is check out askimoi.com – input the mobile number, your message, security code and click send. Viola, message sent!
I tried it out myself and it really works. Pretty good on your pockets too as this is free of charge, fast and easy. Very reliable too in times when you needed to get those message to get through on your buddy’s number.
Since I work online most of the time, I usually spend almost twelve hours in front of the computer. Yes, half of the day that is! Part of my job goes to monitoring my email and make sure that I answer messages promptly. I do receive numerous phishing scam in my emails. I almost fall into the prey of those scammers one time as I am about to hit the send button after inputting all the necessary details when they asked me to log all my bank and Paypal details, good thing that the browser prompted me that the URL is a phishing site.
It really pays to invest in Security Software for your online presence. You never really knew how this hackers and scammers work around. Prevention is better than cure as they always say, so one has to take the necessary precaution to avoid online problems in line with viruses and online identity theft.
I woke up early last Wednesday (May 15) in a not so good mood, did my usual morning routine of checking on my email- NO NEW EMAIL! That added a bit to my bad mood because it means no work, no added earnings for me. hmmp!
I also thought of the announcement of winners in a blog giveaway contest ( HP Great Printer Giveaway here at The GoMom )that I joined in. I actually saw it in one of the FB groups that I am subscribed in.
I am not really a fan of joining in any kind of contest because aside from the fact that I have never been lucky a winner in any of the contest that I joined in the past, except pala that I also won grand prize in Starbucks planner giveaway in 2010 :D. Some contest requires a lot of things to do- blog it, TWEET and ReTweet it everyday (some do a requires couple of times in a day. whew!) subscribe here and there, LIKE this and that!, FOLLOW him and her, ANSWER this in a min. of 100 words, blah, blah… quite a daunting task. Just my thought! :)
I clearly remember it was around 1-2 am on May 4 that I finally joined in the HP giveaway contest. The GoMom’s mechanic is simple that really encourage me to join in.
Accomplish the entry form below. All fields below are required except for photo upload of your printer which is optional but highly appreciated. You will receive an e-mail from TheGoMom confirming receipt of your entry.
What is the brand and model of your current printer?
HP D2660 Printer
Why are you ready for an HP Deskjet Ink Advantage upgrade?
I am ready for an HP Deskjet Ink Advantage upgrade because I need to catch up with the latest on printing technology. Since I have two schooling kids, there are lots of school art projects and printing to do’s. Not to mention that I myself need it for work (regular 8 hour day job and online work). The convenience of having an all-in-one printer plus wifi is a great factor to contribute in being productive for school, work, crafts and personal activity that requires a printing, scan or copy jobs.

Easy peasy! Deep in my heart, I knew I would win in this contest. Not really hoping to bag the grand prize, the consolation was more than enough for me as I pray. Haha!
