British Airways has tapped into that childlike excitement with their new “#LookUp” campaign.

Digital billboards at London's Piccadilly Circus and Chiswick appear to depict a boy getting up and pointing to a real jet flying overhead as part of the promotion. The billboard is programmed to recognize when a British Airways plane passes by, and it then displays the flight number, destination, and, finally, the lowest fares currently available to that location.

The campaign was created by Ogilvy Group UK, and it tracks the aircraft using "surveillance technology."

This is a first, not only for British Airways, but also for UK advertising. We've all wondered where the planes are going and fantasized about a fantastic vacation or a warm getaway during chats with friends and family.

This ad's innovative technology allows it to engage consumers right away and answer their question."

The Real Estate industry has more than 300 competing brands in and around Lagos alone, our social media and online content marketing are excellent tools for us,” says Jumoke, the boss of 15 employees.

Jumoke (a.k.a JummyKay Properties) is a Lagos-based realtor with over 1,100 published blog articles on her company's blog. The blog attracts nothing less than 50,000 readers per month.

HoloLens is to Microsoft what Oculus is to Meta (formerly known as Facebook). But the Microsoft HoloLens is targeted at businesses and enterprises, while Oculus is more inclined towards entertainment and the social metaverse.

The potential of the Microsoft HoloLens is almost unlimited, and possible uses across all industries are conceivable. This diversity makes the Microsoft HoloLens particularly interesting for companies and convinces developers and corporate customers to work with its innovative technology.

What Models of HoloLens Are There?
In January 2015, Microsoft HoloLens, the world’s first wireless, stand-alone holographic computer based on the mixed reality platform, was presented. The powerful hardware allows high-resolution 3D holograms to be displayed in the real world without having to rely on separate hardware. HoloLens enables interaction with holographic objects via voice, gaze and gesture control. For example, holograms can be moved, positioned or changed in size completely freely in physical space using specific hand movements.

The second generation was presented for the first time at MWC Barcelona in February 2019. Compared to the previous model, Microsoft HoloLens 2 offers a field of view that is more than twice as large, significantly improved wearing comfort thanks to an optimized center of gravity and allows more intuitive interaction with holograms. For example, using finger tracking, which enables even more precise input about the movement of individual fingers.

What is JPEG?
JPEG, also known as JPG, stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.

It is a standard image format used for compressed image data.

Despite the huge reduction in file size as a result of the compression, JPEG images can still maintain reasonable image quality.

This compression allows JPEG files to be used widely on the Internet, most notably on web pages.

Unlike PNG, JPEG does not support alpha channels (also known as lossless transparency).

In 2010, a new image format called WebP was released by Google. Talking about lossless image compression, WebP has far better compression levels when compared to JPEG.

In layman’s term, lossless compression simply means reducing the file size of an image without reducing its visual quality or visual integrity.

The biggest reason for compressing images for web pages is so that the images become lighter in file size, therefore reducing the time required to fully load a webpage.

Let’s quickly take a look at the crucial differences between Baseline and Progressive JPEG, including the pro and cons of our recommended JPEG format — The Progressive.

What is Baseline JPEG?
A Baseline JPEG is created using the JPEG compression algorithm that will start to render the image line by line from top to bottom as more data becomes available.

Baseline JPEG Format
On a webpage, for example, you can be sure that the compression algorithm of a JPEG image is Baseline when you notice it rendering from top to bottom in a line by line manner. This effect is better observed on a slow internet connection or when viewing a fairly large image.

What is Progressive JPEG?
A Progressive JPEG encoding initially renders a full-sized but low-quality pixellated image, but the quality only becomes better and clearer as the image downloads.

Progressive JPEG Format
When used on a web page, progressive JPEGs can improve user experience by giving the illusion of an instant image load.
Although blurry at first, users can still see the entire image while the image keeps loading in the background.
The number of transition depends on the amount of “Scans” set during the JPEG encoding. As the Progressive JPEG renders, each iteration is referred to as a Scan.

You may not notice this transition if you are on a fast internet connection because everything can happen too fast.

The Progressive JPEG encoding came as a space-saving, performance-enhancing upgrade to the Standard or Baseline JPEG encoding.

Unless you’ve done some JPEG optimization, it’s very likely your website is full of Standard Baseline JPEGs.

The Pros and Cons of Progressive JPEG

Pros:

✔ The compression ratio can be adjusted in programs like Adobe Photoshop

✔ Relatively smaller file size

✔ Supports lossless image compression

✔ it is best suited for use on websites as it quickly renders the images as it downloads more of the image data in the background, therefore effectively reducing wait time.

Cons:
✘ Doesn't work on very old browsers such as Internet Explorer 8

✘ The difference in loading times are barely noticeable in modern browsers, hence might not be worth all the effort of re-econding your already uploaded images.

✘ Users can never be so sure if an image is originally blurry or just hasn’t finished loading.

This is a question on the lips of many people — especially those who are just new to the show.
Now, let’s settle it; The Abeg Naira is a currency that only has an intrinsic value in the Big Brother House.

Based on the terms of the 2bn Naira sponsorship deal, the Abeg Naira is the only supported currency in the Big Brother House, and it was designed to be used to purchase items by the Big Brother Season 6 Housemates.

Nice brand awareness strategy by Abeg Technologies, the company behind the Abeg App and headline sponsor of the Big Brother Naija Season 6 - Shine Ya Eye.

Abeg Nairas cannot be exhanged with fiat currency, so there is no basis of comparison with the Nigerian Naira. Abeg Naira has to be earned by the housemates via rewards from sponsored tasks, thus effectively making some housemates richer than others.

As for how much 1 Abeg Naira is valued against the Naira, you’d be asking the wrong question.

POS business is arguably the most popular financial business in Nigeria. It has found its way into every nigerian street and district; from the streets of Ikeja — home to the biggest technology hub in West Africa (porpularly called Computer Village) to the most remote rural areas of Northern Nigeria.

In fact, the widespread adoption of the POS business model in Nigeria has significantly contributed to Opay’s 2bn US Dollar milestone (~ 1 trillion Naira), comfortably superseding Flutterwave’s $1bn+ valuation to make it the most valuable unicorn startup in Nigeria.

As we all know, a single stream of income is no longer considered sustainable in today’s economy. The economy has suffered a series of inflation up to this point, but you know what? The tough and smart ones would still continue to thrive financially.
In a bid to live a quality life devoid of compulsive borrowing from loan sharks, a lot of enterprenuers, salary earners, government workers, etc have resorted to one or more side hustle, with POS business being one of the top options on the list.

In today’s article, we would be sharing some useful tips on how to maximize your POS shop by adding some more business to your existing POS business.

Sincerely speaking, anytime I come accross people operating POS as their only business. I just murmur to myself “what a waste!”.
There are several other business ventures you can add to your POS Business but let’s talk about at 8 of them.

1. Face masks & handkerchief
If you wore face masks on the streets 3 years ago, people would think you are nuts. However, the COVID-19 has paved the way for a multi-billion naira face mask industry, after its discovery in a city called Wuhan in China in December 2019. The face mask and hand sanitizer have therefore become a popular household item.

2. Recharge card business
Recharge card business will certainly not make you rich over night but will be enough to offset some bills.
Nothwithstanding, you can still make between ₦400 – ₦600 in profit for each ₦10,000 worth of recharge card sold.

3. Bottled water, Pure Water, soft drinks
Some people arrive at your shop really tasty and wouldn’t mind buying some water to quench their thirst.
Pure water business is very lucrative; You can get at least 100% ROI from as little as a bag of pure water.

Quick Maths:
1 Bag of Pure Water is sold for N90, and it contains 20pcs of 50cl satchets.
You sell each 50cl satchet of water for ₦10
You sold 20 sachets of water = ₦200
Your Profit: ₦110
Your ROI: 122%

4. Zobo, Kunu & Other Home made Beverages
Zobo, kunu, tigernut drink, lolly, condensed milk, are common home made drinks that you can also venture into. There is a very high profit margin involved in doing this business if you can successfully pull it off.

A ₦250 worth of dried hibiscus leaves (used for making Zobo) can bring returns as high as ₦1,200, but considering the costs of other ingredients such as sugar and ginger, you can still make up to ₦1000 in pure profits for every ₦250 invested. That is a lot of money.

5. Snacks & Confectioneries
You can make snacks like puff-puff, chin chin, minced pie, eggroll, sausages, sandwiches, buns, doughnuts e.t.c. at home and sell in your shop.
Popcorn production is also something that might interest you. Good pop corn machines can be found and purchsed on online marketplaces like and Jumia.

6. Peppered Ponmo & fried meat Business
I promise you, peppered Ponmo (popularly called Ponmo alata in Yoruba) alone is a legend on the streets on Lagos.

If not because of Ponmo, I would have built a house in Ikoyi!!! I can spend my last card on ponmo and fried meat, and there are thousands of other people like me as well. The best part? You don’t need a huge storage space.

As a design agency, broadband internet is one of our most important tools. We recently bought a router from MTN Nigeria called the MTN HyNetflex MF286 and we thought it would be nice to do a review.

The MTN HyNetflex router is a business-class router that was developed by Chinese company ZTE. This review is based on the ZTE MF286 Router Model pictured below.

[img]https://branditechture.agency/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/MTN-HyNetflex-768x1024.jpg[/img]


Please be informed that I am not affiliated with any telco brand and this review is 100% based on my personal experience with the device. I may, however, update this review if my experience changes.

What Is In The Box
- A ZTE MF286 Router (Branded as MTN HyNetflex)
- 2 Instruction Manuals
- 1 RJ45 Ethernet LAN Cable
- 1 SIM Pack
- A 12V 1.5A Charger

I bought our MTN HyNetflex at the Palms Mall, Oniru, Victoria Island, Lagos, for ₦25,000 (Approx. $57), which is very cheap considering its features.

First Impressions
The larger part of its housing (or case) is a thick, white matte plastic, with a grey glossy chassis, which is perforated at both ends to allow for ventilation when the device is working.

The router design looks very modern and the admin user interface is very nice to look at. The Admin User Interface sports MTN’s rebranded look; You know, the new MTN Sans typeface, with their famous yellow and deep black colour scheme.
[img]https://branditechture.agency/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/MTN-Hynet-flex-control-panel.jpg[/img]
The myMTN portal and the router’s control panel both share a consistent look with the MTN’s website. Personally, the UX is awesome and everything you’ll ever need to manage your router and data plans can be easily spotted on the interface.

MTN HyNetflex Technical Specs
The MTN HyNetflex router is labelled as “Cat 6”, which in theory, means that it could reach speeds of around 300 MB/s when needed.
At the back, the router features four LAN ports and two WAN ports for telephony, plus one USB 2.0 port.

This configuration allows it to power up to four devices simultaneously via wired LAN, and according to the instruction manual, you can connect up to 64 devices wirelessly through Wireless LAN (a.k.a WiFi), but I suspect that maxing out of the number of connected devices would overheat the router and damage it if used over long periods.
