Things to do in South Africa

Posted in Travel

South Africa is the home of many plants and animals. It is one of the beautiful places in the world that got fame because of its tourist destination. Though it’s not a big country, you have many things to do that you can enjoy with your friends and family. You can visit many attractive places, including mountains, museums, tourist places, forests, and many things. Today, we are going to discuss things to do in South Africa. Let’s check it out.

Renting and driving a car:

Driving in South Africa is not a big deal. You can rent a car and take it anywhere. The rental services companies will allow self-driving. You can also ask for a driver or guide. The roads of the country are considered to drive friendly, so you can freely drive the car.

Cost:

The price of a rental car is very low. You can hire the vehicle for an hourly basis, as well.

Transportation:

The local transportation is very less in urban areas, but on the rural side, there is no specific bus or another transportation system. That is why it is convenient to rent a car.

Things to do in South Africa:

Here we are going to enlist some of the most exciting places that you must explore while a visit to South Africa.

1. Cape Town:

This level of the mountain extends to 3,500 feet above the city of Cape Town and it gives a stunning side on the top of the mainland. The mountain is tall enough that when the cloud came, it just covers the peak, giving a cover of white wisps you can look downward on.

2. Boulders Beach:

You can go from Cape Town’s midtown will carry you to Boulders Beach, yet be set up to battle some modest local people for sandy, waterfront land: The region is home to a state of penguins that made a case for the seashore back in the mid-’80s and never left. Their house is currently a haven. You’re welcome to get as close as you dare without contacting, however, whatever you do, don’t try to feed them because penguin doesn’t get friendly with anyone so they might attack you back.

3. Orange River:

Not a long way from the outskirt of Namibia, this stretch of the Orange River—the most extended stream in the nation—in the Augrabies Falls area is brimming with adrenaline junkie kayakers hoping to shoot Class V rapids (however there are a lot of bits where it’s simple rowing for tenderfoots). All visits can accompany a guide; the braver can wander downstream performance.

4. The Big Hole in Kimberley:

The greenish-blue waters in the base of this relinquished precious stone dig make for a shocking photograph from any number of vantage focuses. Yet, the best one is uncertain, politeness of a helicopter voyage through the capital city of the Northern Cape Province. On the ground, you can head into the deserted mine and discover what it resembled when the activity was going all out—150 years prior.

What you need to know about led headlight before buying a car?

Posted in Auto

When your original halogen headlights glow with yellow light all the way along with you at night, some people rejoice and others worry. Now is the era of rapid development of technology, endless headlights, dazzling consumers, xenon headlights, LED headlights, laser headlights, matrix headlights, etc., car headlights are constantly evolving, when your car The tungsten filament bulbs are equipped for decades, with low cost, low color temperature and low brightness, do you feel “OUT”?

Is it necessary to replace the halogen bulb with LED car headlight?

In fact, the LED lights in life are replacing the traditional tungsten filament lamps bit by bit, which is bright and power-saving, and has a long life. It is really a good product at home and the only choice. With the popularity of LED, the price is getting lower and lower, but why it has become a high-end configuration after being put on the car?

Because automotive LED headlights have certain technical difficulties and some additional costs, for example, to achieve high-power heat dissipation in a relatively small enclosed space, such as high-beam and low-beam switching. (Does not need to consider these problems for household LED bulbs, Changliang will not exceed 40w) LED manufacturers need to work closely with car manufacturers to carry out research and development in this area. Because the product information such as the mold and requirements of the car lights are in the hands of the auto manufacturers, there are not too many “light-making” companies that can enter this industry.

Due to the limitation of the light emitting principle, the LED headlight bulbs emit light on both sides of the metal base. It is not like a traditional halogen bulb, a small filament is glowing. And LED bulbs need to be used with the heat dissipation system, otherwise it is easy to overheat and overload, or even burn out in such a small enclosed space as the headlights. The traditional halogen bulb is the real “focus light source”, and the light emitted by the LED is “astigmatism”. Therefore, LED bulbs and xenon headlights require lens groups to help focus light.

If your original car headlight assembly does not have a lens, it is not very recommended to replace the LED bulb. Because the lampshade of the traditional halogen lamp can’t play the role of condensing light at all, the outgoing light will definitely diverge. Although some cars are also equipped with halogen lamps, but because the assembly contains a lens (that is, the yellow light lens seen on the road), the modification effect will be relatively good.

To replace the LED bulb, first determine whether the original car headlight assembly is a reflector or a lens. If it is a reflective bowl, then you need to choose a LED headlight with a good spotlight; if it is a lens, then do not choose a LED headlight with a good spotlight, otherwise there will be black shadows.

Whether the spotlight is good or bad can be roughly judged according to the following principles (but not absolutely):

1. Luminous on both sides> Luminous on three sides> Luminous on four sides
2. The smaller the distance between the two lamp beads, the better the light  gathering.
3. Bulb with lens> Bulb without lens

Driving at night, the light is bright and can be seen clearly, but it cannot be “bright”, so it is very important to choose a good LED headlight bulbs kit.

Strandhuisjes, ook voor jou!

Posted in Travel

Wanneer het aantal zonuren toeneemt en de temperatuur stijgt trekken Nederlanders massaal naar de kust om verkoeling te zoeken in de zee. Op sommige stukken Noordzeestrand kun je ’s zomers praktisch over de hoofden lopen. Als je er al in slaagt om de kust te bereiken, want soms zijn de files zo lang, dat je pas na uren de duintoppen plaats ziet maken voor de eindeloze horizon.

Het kan haast niet anders dan dat je soms met enige jaloezie hebt gekeken naar de mensen die een huis aan de kust hebben. Je hebt vast wel eens gefantaseerd over een ochtendwandeling over het nog lege strand. En hoe heerlijk zal de koffie smaken wanneer je deze drinkt met uitzicht over de branding? Maar ja, strandhuisjes zijn niet voor iedereen weggelegd. Dat is iets voor mensen met (veel) geld. Toch?

Strandhuisjes zijn toegankelijker dan je denkt

Natuurlijk, een villa aan de kust is onbetaalbaar. Zelfs een appartementje in Zandvoort kost al snel een half miljoen. Dat geld heeft niet iedereen liggen. Maar waarom zou je een strandhuisje kopen? De meeste van ons kunnen hooguit een paar weken per jaar vrijmaken voor hun vakantie. Gelukkig zijn er voor ons ook voldoende strandhuisjes beschikbaar. 

Betaalbare strandhuisjes op de beste locaties

Op www.glampings.nl hebben we ons ten doel gesteld om strandhuisjes voor iedereen toegankelijk te maken. En daar lijken we goed in te slagen, want we hebben inmiddels een mooi aantal strandhuisjes gevonden die een prijs/kwaliteitsverhouding bieden om je vingers bij af te likken.

En ook de diversiteit aan strandhuisjes is iets waar we trots op zijn. Je kunt in Nederland terecht van Zeeland tot de Ameland. Sommige strandhuisjes kijken direct uit over de zee, terwijl anderen beschut tussen de duinen liggen (maar wel op loopafstand tot de zee). Sommige van onze strandhuisjes bieden ruimte voor het hele gezin, terwijl anderen perfect zijn voor een romantische get-away met zijn tweetjes.

Maar wat alle strandhuisjes met elkaar gemeen hebben is dat ze perfect zijn om te genieten van een heerlijke vakantie aan de kust. Voel het zand tussen je tenen zodra je ’s ochtends naar buiten stapt om de eerste zonnestralen op je gezicht te voelen.

Kijk op www.glampings.nl voor het aanbod aan strandhuisjes en boek direct! Het boeken kost je slechts enkele minuten, waarna de voorpret kan beginnen. Dit beleef de strandvakantie van je dromen!

Binancebot.io Presents: How to Maintain Your Privacy When Buying Cryptocurrency

Posted in Finance

The market for crypto-currency has no signs of decline. Following the bumpy ride cryptocurrencies encountered in 2018, more and more folks are looking for personal and business purposes in the digital currency. Now that crypto currencies are all here to stay, it is time to bring matters relating to privacy and security seriously.

Maintaining Your Privacy When Buying Cryptocurrency

contradictory to belief, Cryptocurrency is not anonymous. Crypto currencies are private but not wholly anonymous. Digital currencies are by nature only cryptographically secure, so you can only achieve some degree of anonymity depending on how it is used. Below are some of the most useful tips when buying cryptocurrencies to keep privacy:

Do Not Reuse Addresses

Avoid using addresses over and over again for your crypto-currency transaction. You can instantly create a new crypto-currency address and this will boost your privacy immediately for free. Stop using a platform or wallet that doesn’t allow new address creation. With the popularity of cryptocurrencies, finding a private and secure service will not be challenging which allows you to create a unique address for each transaction.

  • Using a new address will do wonders for your privacy and protection each time you transact.
  • Use a new address whenever payment is made or received / Use different wallets for personal and business / trade purposes.

Never Use Public Wi-Fi

Free Wi-Fi is practically everywhere. While using public Wi-Fi to perform cryptocurrency transactions may be tempting, avoid doing so at all costs. If you’re serious about maintaining your privacy when purchasing cryptocurrencies, you’ll never use public Wi-Fi to access your accounts. Hackers can strike through public Wi-Fi at any time so it’s better to be safe than sorry.

  • Although you are at regular coffee shop with free Wi-Fi, do not risk your account by connecting to the Internet in public places.
  • Do not lend other people your laptop, tablet or smartphone.

Do Not Keep Your Codes and Keys Online

It may seem old-fashioned, but it’s easier to save your keys and codes offline in a secure place, rather than online storage. Passwords, codes and other essential data are usually stored on our laptop or smartphone. Hiding sensitive information in a folder called “movies” does not guarantee security because hackers are brilliant in the search for electronic data.

  • Encrypting an online folder does not keep your details from a particular hacker secure.
  • Invest in a strongbox or use a bank vault to safely store codes and key physical notes.

Conclusion

Preserving your cryptocurrencies is really the easiest way to make the most out of your investment in the digital currency. Hackers are always waiting for an attack at the right moment. But when you purchase cryptocurrency you can protect your privacy with a lot of common sense and the right tools.

Our main goal on Binancebot.io is to inform people about the cryptocurrency. Information on Exchanges, Coins, and Trading are also available at Binancebot.io.

What Secret Do Cryptocurrency Exchanges Hide?

Posted in Business

Crypto-currency exchanges, like most companies, are not always upfront about their operations. Many try to maintain a level of transparency to retain their appeal and credibility with their customer base, but there are certain items they don’t disclose.

We’re going to look at some of the secret problems behind the closed doors of cryptocurrency exchanges.

Fake Trading Volumes

The trading volume of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges is up for discussion, as numerous research firms reports show that there are many contradictions on the market.

We looked at internet traffic on the top 100 crypto exchanges websites and found that 75 percent of the trading volumes published by exchanges were more than double that the actual numbers. About 90 per cent of the volume of the exchanges was uncertain.

How Crypto Exchanges Manipulate Their Trading Volume

Trading volume manipulation across exchanges has also been a problem for traders and regulators alike. There are a number of actions that can be introduced to boost sales artificially, which in effect makes it look like there is a desire for a certain coin when there are no actual buyers on the market. Around 67 per cent and 95 per cent of Bitcoin’s trading volume is faked by wash trading, depending on the source.

No matter how you look at it, the trade in wash is a form of manipulation of the market. This includes one party (traders, brokers, or the exchange) only buying and selling the same commodity in order to manipulate market prices in their favour. If on a crypto exchange there are repeated transactions and sales, which looks like they were made in an automated manner and have exactly the same number, these orders are simply washing out each other.

Although traders and brokers have traditionally partnered to post fake trades, there are plenty of cryptocurrency exchanges trading on their own site to improve their trading volume numbers.

There are numerous reports from late 2018 and early 2019 suggesting that this practice occurred at many exchanges.

Conclusion

Even though in the world of crypto exchanges there are still many unknown shady things going on, the industry is constantly evolving to uncover those who are trying to exploit or manipulate the market.

Hard Dry Fast vs. Soft Dry Fast

Posted in Health

Various fasting practices are adopted by people. Some people might take the whole day without eating any kind of food, while some may choose to nourish themselves with small meals or a single meal a day. You are also likely to drink water throughout the day. Hence, when it comes to the numerous types of fasting, there is often a lot of confusion between them, especially hard, dry fast, and soft dry fast.

This article deals with these two types of fasting and the significant differences between them.

What Is a Hard Dry Fast?

A dry fast means you don’t consume any type of food or water for the duration of the fast that usually lasts from 12 to 17 hours. Dry fasts can be of two types: soft and hard. Hard dry fasters are very diligent in making sure they are not exposed to even a single drop of water. It means no brushing, bathing, and showering for the period of the dry hard fast to avoid any chances of water being swallowed and breaking the fast. Hard dry fasts are undoubtedly the strictest fasts.

What Is Soft Dry Fast?

There is much more flexibility in the soft dry fast than a hard dry fast. Though water consumption is not allowed in a soft dry fast, you can use water for other purposes like bathing, showering, brushing teeth, cleaning your face, and rinsing the mouth. Even if you swallow some small quantity of water by mistake, it will not nullify you soft dry fast.

In short, a soft dry fast is the one in which you don’t drink water but is allowed to use water for washing your face, bathing, and brushing teeth. On the other hand, hard, dry fast strictly prohibits any type of contact with water.

As a beginner faster, you should always try soft fasting because initially, you may find it very difficult to stop water consumption completely. If you decide to try a hard, dry fast as your first option, you can face some health complications in abruptly inhibiting water consumption, along with avoiding other basic hygienic practices for the period of the fast.

 

Some Benefits of Dry and Soft Dry Fasts

Some of the most common and significant advantages of dry fasting are:

  • Increased weight loss as fat is burned at a very high rate. Compared to a soft fast, hard fasting can make your body burn fast rapidly due to a lack of metabolic water.
  • Like other types of fasting, dry and soft fasts can increase your metabolism rate by burning fats, triggering lipolysis, and producing norepinephrine.
  •  According to a study by Neurology International, people who fasted for an entire month of Holy Ramadan, had enhanced nerve growth rate, increased serotonin levels, and better cognitive functions.

After reading about some of the many benefits of soft and dry fasting, you might be tempted to try them out. You should make a smart choice in terms of the type of fasting and make sure that fasting is suitable for your health and body conditions. You can consult some medical experts for this purpose as well. Once you have started fasting, you are likely to enjoy the process and get many benefits from it.

5 Strategies of Passive Income

Posted in Finance

While achieving maximum financial freedom from passive income may seem like a pipe dream for many people, it can actually be a source of infinite possible income. It is an ultimate opportunity of earning money while not working in the mundane routine of 9 to 5 office hours because the possibilities and ideas of passive income are infinite.

We have summarized five strategies to help you in making passive income and enjoy its massive benefits, like more free time for friends and family and more freedom in professional and personal life.

1.    Dividend Stocks Investment

A common and one of the most successful passive income ideas is investments in stock markets like ETF or dividends stocks. For such types of investment, you must have sufficient cash in your hand initially to make invest money appropriately. Dividend investing, in particular, is hugely beneficial for the majority of the people as there are very few chances of losing your money compared to the other investments. You must spend some time, energy, and steady investment in studying the market and investing accordingly.

2.    Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is one of the latest passive income ideas that is becoming rapidly popular. A website or a social media platform is necessary for affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing includes promoting other companies, services, or products by posting their links on your platform. Whenever someone uses your affiliate link to buy products or services from other companies, you get paid a handsome amount of money, depending on the contract you have signed.

3.    Advertising

Displaying ads on your website, social media accounts, YouTube channel, and blogs can be a source of good passive income. In recent times, monetization policies of various platforms have become stricter, but it is achievable through constant effort and high-quality content.

4.    Cost-per-click Ads

CPC ads are another type of advertising. It means that you include the links of the ads on your website, and whenever users click that link, you get paid immediately. It is different from the affiliate marketing as it pays the money quickly and is not dependent on the fact that what the user will do after clicking and opening the CPC ad. You should add CPC ads on your platforms and make efforts to drive organic traffic so that the chances of the ads being clicked increases.

5.    Selling Courses

Online education, diplomas, and courses have become immensely popular in recent times. The importance of online courses is at its peak due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown situation around the world. In such severe scenarios, many people have turned to the internet to learn new skills through online courses. Hence, if you create an efficient course, you can keep selling it again and again to make handsome money.

Conclusion

While the ideas discussed above are very efficient and successful in many cases, there are many other ways through which passive income can be achieved. Your goal should be to determine your passion, skills, and interest across different platforms to make a smart choice of passive income ideas.
