The following points summarily explain the steps and attitudes the government needs to put in, in order to arrive at a positive outcome.

There seems to be a very huge gap between government perception and public perception in this matter. While governments are busy counting the number of workshops conducted, the number of hospitals built and doctors employed, for instance, they fail to count or even notice the outcomes those activities bring about, especially to the growth and benefits of the public.

There should be a partnership between the government and a social entrepreneur or a scientist because the first thing you need to understand is that the government have something that a scientist may not have. Like in the areas of financing any innovations which the scientist or social entrepreneur may present and also help government decision-makers figure out how to get the necessary or conducive atmosphere for the innovation.

Most times, the government responds to other people and at other times social entrepreneurs/scientist are only accountable to themselves and to their own organizations. So they need to work together to achieve more.

Some scientist doesn’t like engaging in politics and complains that working with the government is too slow. But sooner or later, irrespective of whether you want public money or not, you will need to engage government. It does not matter if you are in eye care or water or energy or financial inclusion-government have scale, government set policy and regulatory frameworks, the government has nation-wide infrastructures. Engaging with government is a critical challenge if social entrepreneurs want to take their innovations to scale.

Another major challenge in Africa’s underdevelopment is that, and I quote "Due to lack of capacity to transform much of its raw materials into finished products, Africa continues to export its resources with little or no value added, leading to loss of job opportunities. Where value is added, these African products are subject to many tariff and non-tariff barriers in the major Western markets,"

VPN is a web server tool that offers security to your information online and also helps you to access blocked websites around the world. They offer a layer of privacy that’s unattainable if you access the web directly through your ISP’s servers.

However, many people do not know what VPN stands for or what it can do for them. We access websites in which they will ask for our data but, you are not sure if those data inputted will be safe and cannot be accessed by a third party. Our information is always vulnerable. But, with the use of a VPN, you can rest assured of safety.

Let’s look at what a VPN connection is and explain how a VPN works.

We can say of a VPN as the security terms that prevents other web users from seeing what you are doing at your own ends. It is like a tunnel with both ends in which one end cannot see what the other end is doing, especially to anyone using a public connection such as in a hotel, airport, or library.

A VPN can be installed on a particular browser, a desktop or laptop, a smartphone, or even a router.

When you connect to the web without a VPN connection, your traffic flows freely and in an unencrypted form from your machine to your ISP’s servers. After which, it moves to servers around the world. Most times, your connection to the web without a VPN is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, snooping, and other security threats.

But, if you use a VPN, your traffic is encrypted by the VPN app on your computer or smartphone before it even leaves your device(s).

From there, it goes to your ISP’s server, and then to your VPN’s server. When it reaches the VPN server, the traffic is decrypted and passed on to the wider web. It also uses your VPN’s IP address. In many cases, users can choose the location of the VPN server they choose to use.

Types of VPN Protocols:

Different types of VPN protocol exist. Not all providers/servers support all the protocols. Some of the most popular VPN protocols include:

IPsec: Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) was created for use with IPv6. It encrypts traffic by encapsulating an IP packet inside an IPsec packet.
SSL/TLS: Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) can tunnel all the traffic on a network through a VPN connection. It is used in the OpenVPN project.
SSH: Secure Shell (SSH) VPNs use tunneling to add security to intra-network links.
SSTP: Microsoft Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) uses Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) tunnels to send traffic via an SSL 3.0 channel.
What Does a VPN Do?

A VPN can perform different functions for many different types of user.

Remote Access:

VPNs first evolved due to the need for people to access networks remotely and securely. Some of the first users were businesses/organizations with multiple branches or off-site employees.

Those original benefits still exist today. Millions of people use a company-provided VPN to access internal networks and servers.

Privacy and Online Security:

Because of the way VPNs work, people were quick to realize that the technology also had colossal privacy and security benefits.

Not all VPNs offer similar features. However, if you use one of the market-leading paid VPN services (like ExpressVPN or CyberGhost), you should benefit from most of the following:

Encryption: Almost all commercial VPN services encrypt your web traffic data. It means your information is inaccessible to any hackers or malicious apps that are snooping on your network data.

Hidden IP Address: To outsiders, your computer appears to have the IP address of the VPN servers. Many companies collect vast amounts of data based on IP addresses, so removing your own address drastically increases your anonymity.

No Logging: Some VPNs will not log any of your browsing data. It means that if a government comes looking for your information, there is nothing to hand over. Be aware, however, not all VPNs dispose of logs, and some have intentionally vague privacy policies.

Websites are frequently blocked on certain networks. For example, your employee might not let people log onto Facebook while in work, your school probably blocks adult content, and in extreme cases, governments have prevented access to some sites across entire countries.

A VPN will let you access any blocked sites. The tunnel we spoke about earlier provides your machine with a way to break through a network’s restrictions and freely access the internet from your VPN server’s location.

Geo-Blocked Content:

The final desirable thing a VPN does is to provide access to geo-blocked sites. It’s a feature that’s especially useful for cord cutters and expats who want to watch video content from their home country.

VPNs that specializes in unlocking geo-blocked content will typically have hundreds of servers in dozens of countries around the world to provide flexibility to users.

(Note: Several leading streaming services theoretically restrict access from VPNs by blocking the known VPN IP address, leading to a never-ending game of cat and mouse.

As an engineer, Mr. Rangarajan supervised the design and production of the electronic voting machine (EVM) during his tenure at Bharat Electronics Limited,

An EVM consists of two units, a control unit, and the balloting unit. The two units are joined by a five-meter cable. Balloting unit facilitates voting by a voter via labeled buttons while the control unit controls the ballot units, stores voting counts and displays the results on 7 segment LED displays. The controller used in EVMs has its operating program etched permanently in silicon at the time of manufacturing by the manufacturer. No one (including the manufacturer) can change the program once the controller is manufactured.

An EVM can record a maximum of 3840 votes and can cater to a maximum of 64 candidates. There is provision for 16 candidates in a single balloting unit and up to a maximum of 4 units can be connected in parallel. The conventional ballot paper/box method of polling is used if the number of candidates exceeds 64. It is not possible to vote more than once by pressing the button again and again. As soon as a particular button on the balloting unit is pressed, the vote is recorded for that particular candidate and the machine gets locked. Even if one presses that button further or any other button, no further vote will be recorded. This way the EVMs ensure the principle of "one person, one vote".

The control unit is with the presiding officer or a polling officer and the balloting Unit is placed inside the voting compartment. The balloting unit presents the voter with blue buttons (momentary switch) horizontally labeled with corresponding party symbol and candidate names. The Control Unit, on the other hand, provides the officer-in-charge with a "Ballot" marked button to proceed to the next voter, instead of issuing a ballot paper to them. This activates the ballot unit for a single vote from the next voter in the queue. The voter has to cast his vote by once pressing the blue button on the balloting unit against the candidate and symbol of his choice.

As soon as the last voter has voted, the Polling Officer-in-charge of the Control Unit will press the 'Close' Button. Thereafter, the EVM will not accept any votes. Further, after the close of the poll, the Balloting Unit is disconnected from the Control Unit and kept separately. Votes can be recorded only through the Balloting Unit. Again the Presiding officer, at the close of the poll, will hand over to each polling agent present an account of votes recorded. At the time of counting of votes, the total will be tallied with this account and if there is any discrepancy, this will be pointed out by the Counting Agents. During the counting of votes, the results are displayed by pressing the 'Result' button. There are two safeguards to prevent the 'Result' button from being pressed before the counting of votes officially begins. This button cannot be pressed till the 'Close' button is pressed by the Polling Officer-in-charge at the end of the voting process in the polling booth. This button is hidden and sealed; this can be broken only at the counting center in the presence of a designated officer.

it has since been expected to save costs of production and printing of chores of ballot papers, their transportation and storage, substantial reduction in the counting staff and the remuneration paid to them. For each national election, it is estimated that about 10,000 tonnes of the ballot paper are saved. EVMs are easier to transport compared to ballot boxes as they are lighter, more portable, and come with polypropylene carrying cases. Vote counting is also faster. In places where illiteracy is a factor, illiterate people find EVMs easier than the ballot paper system. Bogus voting is greatly reduced as the vote is recorded only once. The unit can store the result in its memory before it is erased manually. The battery is required only to activate the EVMs at the time of polling and counting and as soon as the polling is over, the battery can be switched off. The shelf life of EVMs is estimated at 15 years.

In order to mitigate these threats in the aspects of security, the researchers suggest moving to a voting system that provides greater transparency, such as paper ballots, precinct count optical scan, or a voter verified paper audit trail, since, in any of these systems, skeptical voters could, in principle, observe the physical counting process to gain confidence that the outcome is fair. Given that EVMs are stored under strict security which can be monitored by candidates or their agents all the time, it’s impossible to gain physical access to the machines. Plus, to impact the results of an election, hundreds to thousands of machines will be needed to tamper with, which is almost impossible given the hi-tech and time-consuming nature of the tampering process.

A candidate can know how many people from a polling station voted for him. This is a significant issue particularly if lop-sided votes for/against a candidate are cast in individual polling stations and the winning candidate might show favoritism or hold a grudge on specific areas.
The control units do not electronically transmit their results back to the Election Commission, even though a simple and unconditionally secure protocol for doing this exists. This type of EVMs is purposely designed as stand-alone units to prevent any intrusion during electronic transmission of results. Instead, the EVMs are collected in counting booths and tallied on the assigned counting day(s) in the presence of polling agents of the candidates.

"It's pretty faint, so we can really just see that it's there," Sheppard told Space.com. "We don't even know the color of the object; we haven't gotten any spectroscopy on the object yet, or anything like that." (The 186-mile diameter is not a measurement but rather an estimate, assuming a "moderate" reflectiveness for 2015 TG387.) But going back to the orbit: The Goblin is similar in key ways to those of some other extremely distant bodies — particularly in an element called "longitude of perihelion." Basically, the elongated parts of their elliptical orbits are clustered in the same part of the sky, which is consistent with gravitational shepherding by Planet X.

Slow speeds in Windows 8 may be due to the poisoned DNS cache that may contain invalid or expired DNS records. In case the DNS cache gets poisoned, technically known as 'DNS spoofing,' or the IP address of the web server changes, users may face difficulties opening the websites, or sometimes may also get HTTP error messages. In such cases, users are required to clear the DNS cache by flushing the invalid or expired DNS entries. Thus, our aim to increase internet speed cannot be ignored at this present time.

After flushing the DNS cache, the new IP address of the website is then automatically resolved by the DNS client, aka DNS resolver, with the help of its authoritative DNS server.

Users should also delete the temporary files stored in the %Temp% folder, which also helps expedite the Internet speed in Windows 8.

This is how you can Flush DNS Cache to Increase Internet Speed in Windows 8

How to make money from savings:

Income: What You Earn Every Month,
Debt: What you owe others,
Monthly Expenses: How Much You Pay Out Each Month
Housing: 25%-50% of Income
Food: 10%-20% of Income
Cars: 0%-20% of Income
Utilities and Phone: 5%-10% of Income
Savings and Investing

https://www.scitechinfo.com.ng/blog/2018/07/04/how-to-make-money-from-savings-as-a-teenager/

In this contemporary world where life is aimed at how much you earn and how you invest, there is need to understand the “how” of money making. Young adults all over the world needs to learn how to make money from savings as a teenager up to old age. Then, they will realize how much they must haves saved all through the span of their life.

-: Income (What You Earn Every Month)

The #1 most valuable asset you have is your income, your ability on how to make money month in and month out. Everything you do should be focused on increasing that amount, maintaining that amount, and preserving and protecting a 50-year stream of it from age 20–70. Everything you do — from choice of careers, choice of college, to choice of what city to live in — will all determine what your income is.

 -: Debt (What You Owe others)

The #2 most valuable tip on how to make money is to live debt free from day one. Never get into the debt trap. If you have a N100, 000 balance on a credit card that is a 29.9% APR (a credit card's interest rate is the price you pay for borrowing money. For credit cards, the interest rates are typically stated as a yearly rate. This is called the annual percentage rate (APR). On most cards, you can avoid paying interest on purchases if you pay your balance in full each month by the due date) interest rate, that creates a N36, 000 per year impact on your life. N3000 per month may not seem like a lot, but over 10 years, that N3000 in payments would have grown to well over N360, 000 if you had invested it well. If you were to maintain that amount of debt over all 50 years of earning, then you would have not only thrown away the $1,800,000 you would have paid, but you would have also missed out on the N21.6M that that N1,800,000 would have become if you had invested it. Paying off debt has the net effect of an immediate return that is equal to the credit card rate of interest. Where else can you get a guaranteed 30% return? Nowhere!

 -: Monthly Expenses (How Much You Pay Out Each Month)

the next most important idea on how to make money is to live frugally (not wasteful) on a fraction of what you make in income. My recommendation is that your total expenses should not be more than 50% of what you make. However most people are not willing to make that sacrifice. In that case, the breakdown should be as follows given the ranges from low to high percentages necessary for success on the low end, or survival on the high end.

 -: Housing (25%-50% of Income)

Typically the #1 most expensive choice we will ever make. Ironically it is also the least understood in proper terms. You work 8–10 hours a day, usually at an office. You sleep 6–8 hours and you get ready for work and ready for bed 1–2 hours per day. That means that 15–20 hours per day, you aren’t even using anything more than your bedroom and bathroom. That means that the other XXXX number of square feet of your house (space around your house) is a needless expense. My best deal ever was the apartment I had in Graduate School. It was a small two room apartment with a galley-style kitchen in between — it was amazing. N150 per year. Damn, was it a steal? Make up of what you need in an apartment. I would advise you go for apartments you know you need and not just acquiring much space you will probably not occupy at the end of the day.

 -: Food (10%-20% of Income)

If you are single this number can be very different than if you have a family, but generally speaking you should never eat out or at least limit it to “date night” once per week, but even N4000 per week in eating out is over N150, 000 per year, and the 50 year impact to your savings and investing is N9.6M over 50 years. Don’t eat out.

 -: Cars (0%-20% of Income)

Despite rumors to the contrary, you do not need the latest and greatest car to survive. I hate to spend much on cars since they are the #1 killer of income or limiting the chances of how to make money after eating out. Many car payments for maintenance are at least N2000 per month these days and over N25, 000 per year. That is a N1.4M impact over 50 years. Buy cars with low income expenditure. Take it from me — a friend pissed away over N2M over 27 years on cars, and that N2M now would be worth over N20M if he had learned this in his 20s. Don’t make the same mistakes he did.

 -: Utilities and Phone (5%-10% of Income)

if you are renting, getting power, water and other utilities included in your rent is the way to go. You can get an average cost for some items like subscribing DSTV for N6000 instead of N12, 000 package and still enjoy the programs. Also, news flash: That latest iPhone for N500, 000 that you “can’t live without” is costing you more than you think. You can invest the money and gain profit of the same amount within the same year. That N35, 000 per month you earn from your investment is another N2.1M over 50 years.

 -: Savings and Investing (0%-30% of Income)

Well if you have been keeping up with the ranges, if you were at the high side of spending for every category, congratulations — you have N0 and 0% left for savings and investing, and you are going to die broke and alone. That’s OK — in some society, you will have plenty of company, since 98–99 people out of 100 are in the same boat. Misery does indeed love company. If you keep the low side, you may be amazed that you now have 30% of your income left to save and invest. Congratulations — welcome to the top 1%-2% of people in the world! These are called “The smart Rich People.” Because you just laugh your ass off all the way to the bank. While others have enjoyed their income on living on the high and their N1000 bar tab, you are going to be enjoying your golden years not drinking garri and looking for kuli-kuli to join it with. If you get to this point you will have won. If you just did #2, #5, #6 and #7, you have saved a staggering N35.1M over 50 years. Enjoy. You now can do whatever the hell you want to do in retirement.

conclusion:

this article on how to make money for young adult remains a pondering facts that we must all look at and really work on. please help share this so as to teach the youth out there who may be ignorant of how to make money from savinga from their tender age towards adulthood.

One of the major questions people often ask is “what do I stand to gain if I root my android device”. In this article, you will get to see the 'advantages of rooting’ your android devices. See also 5 rooting apps

The below listings are the advantages:

Install Incompatible Apps

Have you ever tried to install Android apps online or from Google play store, only for you to see a pop-up that ‘this app is not compatible with your device’? That’s frustrating right. It’s even more frustrating when you realize that there’s no good reason why you see this message. Phone manufacturers sometimes restrict apps which compete with their own apps and in other cases, an app may not be available in your region. Although, it will still work perfectly fine when you install it.

Rooting your phone will let you install all of these apps which means you’ll never be given any restrictions to any kind of apps you choose to install.

Improve Battery Life and Speed

Battery life and speed are the common challenges we often faced with Android devices. Virtually all android phone user complains about battery life and certain versions of Android slow the OS down to a crawl.

Another advantages of rooting android devices lets you speed up your phone and improve its battery life. ‘SetCPU’ is one popular tool that help to improve performance and battery life at the same time. SetCPU lets you overclock your phone when you need extra performance and underclock your phone when you don’t need it. This leads to better performance and superior battery life.

A similar app ‘Greenify’, will automatically hibernate certain apps that you aren’t using. If you don’t want Facebook Messenger constantly running in the background checking for messages, you can “Greenify” that app which freezes its performance until you activate it again.

Beyond apps, you can install custom ROMs which are specifically designed to improve performance and boost battery life.

 Automate Your Life

‘Tasker’, is one of the most under-appreciated Android apps in the world today. With Tasker, you can automate virtually everything electronic in your life. Want your phone to connect to Bluetooth speakers and start playing your favorite song when your phone’s GPS is at home? With Tasker, you can easily do that.

Some examples of the things you can do with ‘Tasker’ includes:

: - Tell certain apps to have a longer screen time-out, like for your Kindle app

: - Tell certain apps to launch when certain conditions are met, like opening a file browser window when you insert an SD card
: - Turn your phone on airplane mode overnight, while still telling it to reconnect every hour to check messages

: - Tell your phone to play certain songs for certain alarms at certain times or days of the week

: - Get your phone to enter “quiet mode” when it is faced down, shutting off the speakers, GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

If one of your friends talks too loud, you can tell Tasker to lower call volume when you have an incoming call from that number.

Tasker lets you turn any phone into a super-phone. Each update improves the app more and more while making the app easier to use. Non-rooted users can access Tasker’s basic functions and features, but more in-depth “tasks” require rooting.

Computer viruses are those malicious programs that once they infect your machine, they start causing havoc in your computer. What many people do not know is that there are many different types of infections that are classified into different category. In this article you will learn how to clean virus off computer.

The aim of this article is to focus on those malware that are considered Trojans, worms, and viruses. Though, this information can be used to remove other types of malware as well. We will be providing a broad overview of how to clean virus off computer. For the most part, these instructions should allow you to remove a good deal of infections but there are some that need special steps to be removed and these won’t be covered under this tutorial.

Before we continue it is important to understand the generic malware terms that you will be reading about.

Malware – Malware is a program or files that are developed for the purpose of causing harm. Thus, malware includes computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, hijackers, and certain type of adware.

Ransomware – Ransomware are programs that encrypts the files on a computer and then demand a ransom in order to decrypt them. The ransom is typically in a digital currency called Bitcoins.

Adware – A program that generates pop-ups on your computer or displays advertisements. It is important to note that not all adware programs are necessarily considered malware. There are many legitimate programs that are for free but display ads in their programs in order to generate revenue. As long as this information is provided up front then they are generally not considered malware.

Tech Support Scams – Tech Support Scams are programs that pretend to be a security alert from Microsoft or another company. These fake alerts indicate that something is wrong with your computer and that they lock you out of it until you call a listed phone number. Once you call that number, the scammers will try to sell you unnecessary remote support services and software.

Backdoor – A program that allows a remote user to execute commands and tasks on your computer without your permission. These types of programs are typically used to launch attacks on other computers, distribute copyrighted software, media or hack other computers.

Dialer – A program that typically dials a premium rate number that has per minute charges over and above the typical call charge. These calls are with the intent of gaining access to pornographic material.

Hijackers – have you ever wondered why your browser directs you to another page when you tried to open a page? A program that attempts to hijack certain Internet functions like redirecting your start page to the hijacker’s own start page, redirecting search queries to an undesired search engine or replaces search results from popular search engines with their own information is called a Hijacker. And, it is harmful to your PC at times.

Spyware – A program that monitors your activity or information on your computer and sends that information to a remote computer without your knowledge.

Trojan – A program that has been designed to appear innocent but has been intentionally designed to cause some malicious activity. It also provides a backdoor to your system.

Virus – A program that when run, has the ability to replicate itself by infecting other programs and files on your computer. These programs can have many effects ranging from wiping your hard drive, displaying a joke in a small box, or doing nothing at all except to replicate itself. These types of infections are harmful to your computer and have the ability to spread to another computer on their own. The word virus has incorrectly become a general term that encompasses Trojans, worms, and viruses.

Worm – A program that when run, has the ability to spread to other computers on its own using either mass-mailing techniques to email addresses found on your computer or, by using the Internet to infect a remote computer using known security holes. You can be infected through browsing some websites.

How do these infections start?

Unfortunately no frequency band change available in my Huawei honor c3 lite and no ‘Aggressive Wi-Fi to Mobile data handover in my developer option... thanks for the info though

you welcome...but there is always a way

Due to the whether condition like “a rainy day”, “a cloudy atmosphere”, and you want to download an important file, you realize that the moment you want to carry out this task your network signal may become a barrier to you achieving your goal. In a country like Nigeria where we often experience a lot of low wireless signal strength, there is need to look out for another alternative in order not to get frustrated when surfing the internet.

Sometimes, your network may not cover vast area like your backyard or the whole compound. You discover the moment you move farther away from the source of your Wi-Fi, the more the signal strength weakens.

In this article, we will be showing you ways or steps as the case maybe in strengthening the signal or connection of your Wi-Fi (router and android phones) irrespective of your position in your home, office environment or even school environment where there is Wi-Fi connections.

In order to boost your Wi-Fi router connection, follow the steps below:


Switch to an 802.11ac router


If you want to cover a wide range in your house or work place, a strong AC1200 or AC1750 router is what I will recommend especially the later.

Get a Wi-Fi adapter for your old laptop:

You can get a Wi-Fi adapter to accompany your old system for better service. Check any online market to store to have a knowledge of its cost and spec.

 Don’t stuff your router in a cupboard:

Many at times, we tend to place our router in an enclosed place where it either block the signals from reaching you or minimizes the network from reaching the right corners of the surrounding. Make sure it’s in the center of your house, so you have the best coverage possible throughout your home.

 Use a less-crowded wireless channel:

If you have neighbors, their routers and access points may be interfering with yours and causing the signal to degrade. Wireless routers can operate on a number of different channels, and you want yours on a channel with as little interference as possible. Though your router can probably pick the best channel for you, you want to make sure that it’s evaluating the situation correctly. Use a tool like Network Analyzer Lite or Wi-Fi Analyzer to see where your Wi-Fi network falls in relation to everybody else’s, and switch channels manually if your router picked poorly.

In order to boost your Wi-Fi in android, you must enable “developer option” and do the following:


Go to settings and tap “about phone”

Scroll to “build number” and tap seven times in a row until the “developers option” for your device is enabled

Go to ‘Developer Options’ and scroll down to ‘Aggressive Wi-Fi to Mobile data handover’.

Slide it to “switch on the mode”.

And lastly, you will see the enhanced or boosted Wi-Fi. Enjoy the service
If you don’t want to tamper with your phone settings, another way to enhance your network signal is to change the Wi-Fi band frequency of your android phone. But how do we change that? Let’s follow the simple steps below

Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
Go to ‘Advanced settings’.
Tap on ‘Wi-Fi frequency band’.
Now select 5 GHz

Now, the device would use 5GHz frequency band whenever possible and maximize the signal strength of your wireless.

In summary, you can boost your wireless router and android in order to enhance your signal. Try this method and enjoy using this service.

If you work in an office where the coverage area is larger, you can consider various applications available on Google Play Store, which allow you to create multiple Wi-Fi groups. These Wi-Fi groups would monitor access points and will always keep you connected to the strongest signal.
