Fonebud W Brings Global Travelers a New Level of Wi-Fi Connection in Over 90 Countries

Traveling internationally for business or leisure requires internet connectivity to stay engaged with friends, family, news and business. To help travelers stay connected, Fonebud W launches a global Wi-Fi hotspot that promises 35 active hours of unlimited 4G/3G Wi-Fi data roaming abroad. Today, Fonebud W launched an Indiegogo campaign in the hopes of raising $30,000 to bring connectivity to travelers in over 90 different countries.

Fonebud W provides an international 3G/4G Wi-Fi hotspot that can connect up to eight devices at a time. The hotspot also functions as a wireless or USB charging station that can be used with or without cords. With a 10,000mAh battery, Fonebud W will keep people connected on the go for up to 35 hours of active data roaming. Fonebud W uses eSIM technology, so travelers no longer need SIM cards to access the internet overseas. Data plans are available from 90 days to 365 days and, to get users started, Fonebud W comes with 2GB of free international data.

"Today's active lifestyles rely heavily on mobile devices with trusted, uninterrupted connection," said Sunny Koay, CEO of Fonebud W. "Whether people are traveling for work or for adventure, Fonebud W makes international trips easier and more cost-effective. Venturing from country to country and keeping in touch with loved ones and co-workers is effortless with Fonebud W."

The durable, lightweight Wi-Fi hotspot is compatible with any electronic device that has Wi-Fi connectivity. Fonebud W's companion reload app lets users instantly purchase data packages and view all of their data plans in one place — even those purchased for use in another country. Data packages, starting at just $2.00/GB, extend for long periods of time. Fonebud W's regional data packages allow users to travel between countries and continue using their data plan right where they left off. The Wi-Fi hotspot includes a convenient LCD display for users to control and access things like signal strength, battery status, charging status and more. Easy to grip, store and conceal, Fonebud W is a vital international travel accessory. The accessory is currently only compatible within 90 countries outside of the U.S. with expansion into more countries in the future.

Fonebud W is currently available for preorder on Indiegogo for $99.00 USD, which includes one Fonebud W for 38% off and 2GB of international data. For more information about the campaign or to place an order, visit pr.go2.fund/fonebudw.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/netnumber-expands-number-portability.html

To determine which OEMs lead the market, analysts at Keypoint Intelligence conducted an in-depth study on Serviceability. Key areas of evaluation included company vision, in-field support, environmental considerations, tools and training provided to service technicians, and device design. Keypoint Intelligence also considered primary research from U.S. dealers regarding service programs provided by OEMs.

"Service and support are important to customers, it's that simple," said Randy Dazo, Director of Keypoint Intelligence's Office Technology & Services Group. "Organizations understand how critical the MFP is to business processes, and they cannot risk downtime caused by poor support. OEMs have recognized this and are considering how to enhance serviceability, whether it's in the design of the MFP, mobile tools for technicians, training programs, or the use of smart technology like artificial intelligence and predictive analytics."

CANON'S OUTSTANDING SUPPORT COVERS ALL BASES
The components supporting Canon's overall excellent service reputation are the Technical Support Center (TSC) and the Customer Solutions Center (CSC). These locations provide machine setups to emulate customer environments, free support with extended hours and coverage for all time zones. Unique to Canon is the CSC, which exhibits a collaborative environment where TSC representatives, engineers, field personnel and developers can partner and best solve problems. Canon scored well in all categories, but exceptionally well regarding tools. SnapShot, as the name would imply, offers a dynamic snapshot of devices in the field with usage visualizations and statistics. e-Support features a mobile knowledge base, service manuals with images and video, a direct "click to call" the TSC, and the GRID, an e-community for technicians and Canon to support one another. Canon has also developed a predictive service model and the Canon smART service system, including a suite of tools to remotely interface and intervene with devices, train customers on device usage, enable certain error codes to contact dealer directly so that the customer may never even know that there is an issue, and plan service calls with greater efficiency.

DMCC and German Arabian Business Advisory bring Dubai to Dusseldorf with new representative office

DMCC, the world's flagship Free Zone and Government of Dubai Authority on commodities trade and enterprise, announced the official opening of its representative office operated by the German Arabian Advisory GmbH in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Opening a representative office in one of Germany's economic and trade centres, brings DMCC to the doorstep of European clients, and will offer businesses a simpler route to company formation without the requirement of travel to Dubai.

Services on offer in Düsseldorf include: consulting and execution of free zone company formation in DMCC; preparation of documents and power of attorney; visa application; assistance with annual financial audit and advice on serviced offices in the Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) district. Düsseldorf – which is only a short train journey from London, Paris, and Berlin – also provides quick and easy access to Dubai for clients based in Europe, with direct air service through Emirates Airline.

Speaking in Düsseldorf, the Executive Chairman of DMCC, Ahmed Bin Sulayem expressed the growing appetite shown by German and European companies to explore closer trade ties with Dubai, and understand how to utilize the free zone's strong commodity connections and trade routes to push into China and Africa:

"With a representative office in Düsseldorf, DMCC is able to work closer with German and European businesses, and expedite the process of setting up a company in Dubai. As a free zone operating in a progressive economy with business-friendly policies, DMCC provides all the required services and offerings required to deliver long-term commercial growth. We are also situated in the heart of a vibrant commercial and residential district – the perfect platform for businesses looking to connect with trade partners and customers across the region and beyond."

The Düsseldorf office opening was marked by an official ceremony and concluded DMCC's latest Made for Trade Live international roadshow event, which toured business communities across Germany in August including the cities of Braunschweig, Darmstadt and Bielefeld. The German roadshow was co-hosted by the German Chamber of Commerce, and sought to showcase the ease of partnering with DMCC to grow foreign businesses in Dubai and beyond.

Commenting on the office-opening event, Felix Neugart, CEO at the German Emirati Joint Council for Industry & Commerce (AHK), said:

Over the years, we have built a strong connection between the business communities of Germany and the UAE. Free zones, especially in Dubai, play a key role in attracting international companies to the UAE. The opening of a DMCC representative office in Duesseldorf is a further step to facilitate the contact between German business and the DMCC with its international business community."

Björn Lakebrink, Director Business Development, German Arabian Advisory GmbH, also commented:

"Opening a representative office in Dusseldorf shows real commitment and intent by DMCC to Germany and its business community. The new office will boost trade and investment links between local German businesses and Dubai, and our exclusive services will enable companies to become members and tap into the vast trading opportunities without having to leave Germany. It also allows us to interact more closely with potential clients and highlight the trade potential on offer in Dubai and beyond through DMCC."

DMCC and German Arabian Advisory signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in mid-2016 to jointly explore the establishment of an advisory service in Düsseldorf as part of DMCC's effort to attract German companies to establish a presence in Dubai and strengthen ties between the two cities.

Germany is the fourth largest exporter to the UAE; has more than 900 companies registered and has 100,000 residents in the country. In 2017, the total value of non-oil trade between Dubai and Germany reached $11 billion (AED 40 billion). The top German export to the UAE is automotive (cars, vehicles and parts), which has a combined export value of circa. AED 28 billion. The top UAE export to Germany is raw aluminium, which is valued at approximately circa. AED 1.80 billion.

Small Towns Offer Big Charm on Prince Edward Island this Fall

With a reputation as "Canada's Food Island," Prince Edward Island kicks off autumn with the annual Fall Flavours Festival, a celebration of authentic PEI tastes and traditions with culinary adventures, events, and specialty meals hosted by celebrity chefs scattered throughout the province. Local events such as Copper Pots at Copper Bottom, Taste of Georgetown, Savour Victoria and more let small towns share their local fare with visitors.

Here are just a few picturesque towns travelers can experience more than great food this fall:

Murray River
With a population of under 400 people, Murray River's fishing village mixes with the cool vibe of the young entrepreneurs moving there making it a "must stop" destination for travelers along the eastern end of PEI. Shoppers can stop by shops like Magik Dragon with funky handcrafted pieces from around the world or grab a cup of locally-brewed coffee or homemade baked goods at Companion Coffee. Visitors can wind down with a glass of wine and a view of the river at Newman Estate Winery before heading down to the nearby town of Montague where a young husband and wife team have opened Copper Bottom Brewing Company. The taproom brings their rural community together for freshly brewed beer and live music in the taproom.

Georgetown
Georgetown is a historic town set along the Points East Coastal Drive. Travelers can stroll through the quiet streets filled with brightly-painted homes and shops on a self-guided tour, or drop in on local character Peter Llewellyn at his Shoreline Design studio where he makes jewelry and tells stories about the town. Next, visitors with a sweet tooth can stop by the Maroon Pig, a Georgetown favorite, for a freshly baked treat with the local crowd. No visit to Georgetown is complete without seeing a show at the King's Playhouse. For more than 120 years, visitors and locals have enjoyed live performances at this community staple.

North Rustico
Known to the locals as "The Crick," North Rustico offers a beautiful red-sand beach and some famous PEI seafood. North Rustico Harbour lets travelers watch fisherman bring in their daily haul before enjoying some famous PEI mussels at the Blue Mussel Café. Active visitors can grab a bike at Outside Expeditions and peddle through the PEI National Park or join a kayaking tour of the harbor then finish the day with a traditional lobster supper at Fisherman's Wharf Lobster Suppers.

Alberton
Alberton, along PEI's Central Coastal Drive, offers travelers a sweet array of bakeries, restaurants and more. The small town tempts visitors with baked treats from local hang out, Alberton Bakery, or French pastries and bread at Café Chez Cartier. Travelers can relax on the beach at Jacques Cartier Provincial Park or learn about the town's history at the Alberton Museum, once the courthouse and jail. Minutes from Alberton, the Northport Pier offers a place for visitors and locals to shop and grab a bite to eat at The Boat Shop Restaurant. At the neighboring Northport Harbour onlookers can catch a glimpse of the Giant Bluefin tune coming into the dock in season.

Victoria-by-the-Sea
Situated on Prince Edward Island's South Shore, Victoria-by-the-Sea serves up Maritime charm, history and local flavors. History buffs can opt for a photo with PEI's oldest tree then visit the Keepers of the Light exhibit at the Victoria Seaport Museum. A seaside lunch awaits hungry travelers at The Lobster Barn or Beachcombers then dessert at Island Chocolates for handmade delicacies. Visitors also can kayak through Victoria Harbour, or take in a show at the historic Victoria Playhouse, PEI's longest running "little theatre".

Award-Winning Author Laurel McHargue to Attend This Year's MileHiCon October 19-21

Several years ago, Laurel McHargue could not have told you what a Comic Con was. She had published her first novel and was contemplating a fantasy adventure story when her friend, author Stephanie R. Sorensen, told her about meeting exciting local authors at a Denver Comic Con.

"One of the authors she loved was best-selling author Sherry Ficklin," said McHargue, "and after meeting her myself, I asked her why I should apply for this year's Denver Comic Con. She couldn't say enough about the opportunities to connect with readers and other authors," said McHargue.

After attending the 2018 Denver Comic Con and moderating seven unique author panels, McHargue was hooked.

"A woman named Cass visited my table during the convention and suggested I apply for MileHiCon as this year is its 50th Anniversary. I wasn't sure I'd be able to get a table, but I did, and I'm thrilled," said McHargue. Continue reading.

The focus of MileHiCon is on science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction, and it features authors, artists, speakers, performers and a variety of programming.

"I was honored to receive this year's CIPA EVVY Merit Award in the Juvenile Fiction category for Waterwight Flux, the second book in my Waterwight fantasy adventure trilogy," said McHargue. "I'm working on the final book, Waterwight Breathe, and plan to participate in NaNoWriMo to finish my first draft this year." Read all the latest news.

McHargue has published in multiple genres and will be available to discuss and share the following books at MileHiCon:

She plans to share a table at MileHiCon with author friend D.R. Kiss, whose premiere novel "Seeing With Your Eyes Closed" will also be available. "Diane and I had quite a lot of fun sharing a table at Denver Comic Con," said McHargue, "and Diane's positive energy is contagious." Click here to read the latest news.

What did McHargue enjoy most about her first Con experience? "The best part about literary conferences is meeting people who love to read." She shared her favorite moment from Denver Comic Con this past June. "A woman I didn't even know ran to my table and told me I was one of three authors she was hoping to meet! Everything else that weekend was frosting."

HashCash is Contributing to Revolutionize Online Music Streaming with Blockchain Technology

It is said that something that already exists can always be improved. The same goes for all the popular digital music sharing platforms like SoundCloud and Spotify – both working on the premise of storing audio files in the cloud for easy and universal sharing by anyone with an access to the internet. However, these platforms have its limitations, especially when it comes to its storage capacity. Its services are availed by a large number of users, and when they upload files at the same time, the platform records a spike in load profiles and increases the chances of a system crash.

This drawback now has blockchain companies excited over the opportunity it has opened up for them. HashCash– a California based software development company, for example, is teaming up with entrepreneurs to ideate ways to implement blockchain technology aimed primarily at solving the problem of storage and swift upload, and sharing of files without getting stuck in bottlenecks. Read latest news here.

A blockchain powered digital music sharing platform would be characterized by its infinite storage capacity and immutable data cache. This infrastructure would allow artists to directly add to the decentralized storage across the network, obliterating middlemen from music streaming to give artists their due, and, more autonomy over their work.

The payment system suggested will use digital tokens as the accepted currency, which can either be bought or earned. One method suggested to do so is by listening to ads or following links featured on the site. A fraction of the earned coins would then be deducted from their online wallet for every song streamed, with a majority of the earnings going to the artists – a share speculated to be much higher than that meted out by present leading streaming apps with weak monetization options.

The fact that cryptocurrencies have performed beyond expectations in regards to increase in value since its introduction is also being considered by the company in planning the platform's revenue structure. The tokens collected by the blockchain powered platform would eventually amass to a fortune, which then could be sold and the profits generated would further reduce the amount charged directly from artists.

More info here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-best-brain-toys-media-for-teachers.html

Such an arrangement would be desirable to new and independent artists, who could jumpstart their cloud streaming experience with a bonus allotment of tokens in exchange of sharing the links to the platform, bringing in more listeners and fellow musicians.
