“We were able to take all ten thousand Bored Ape NFT images, and feed those into the machine as a loose canvas within which to frame the generative art. The end product was mind blowing. ” said CryptoGrims, Artsy Monke’s in-house AI artist. “After that, it was a matter of teaching the machine to paint in the twenty different art styles we shortlisted, and then running multiple servers for several weeks to get the results we wanted.”

The results are astounding. Browsing through the 10,000 Artsy Monke collection it’s easy to pick out the intricate Viking ship scenes, the moody neon city landscapes, and the intense stormy oceans, but if we half close our eyes while looking at any one piece, we see a very familiar Bored looking Ape.

“We felt there was something missing from standard NFT art. While we understood the hype and excitement behind minting a new Ape, knowing that you had no idea what it would look like and what type of rarity it would have, we also felt there was a fine art element missing from the standard NFT collections. No matter how much you loved it, would you really hang it in your home? We wanted to recreate the magic of the Bored Ape collection and convert it into art.” said Dan Hovey, the project’s blockchain developer.

The 10,000 piece collection has since already sold out, with new buyers only able to collect the art from owners on the NFT marketplace OpenSea. The good news is that whereas Bored Ape Yacht Club’s cheapest entry point is now 85 ETH (around $100,000), an Artsy Monke original will only set you back a cool 0.015 ETH ($22). This may not be the case for much longer, as the team are about to release Artsy Monkeland, a Metaverse Themepark where only Artsy Monke NFT holders can participate in Play to Earn (P2E) video games.

“Having being in the NFT space since early 2021, we always knew that we needed more than just a great looking NFT. Which is why we also designed it as a utility token. We wanted Artsy Monke to be pieces of art that you could hang on your wall, but also, by using Web3 technology, we can also let holders access the Artsy Monke games and earn real money. The more Monke NFT you hold, the more games you can play and the more money you can earn.”

Safe Browsing is the first feature Traced is including in Trustd Plus, and it’s available to both iOS and Android users. Safe Browsing is the same enterprise-grade available to customers of their business threat solution – Trustd MTD, and Traced is offering it to consumers to upgrade their on-device security for a low monthly subscription.

The introduction of premium features via Trustd Plus is a first for Traced, which has been acclaimed with an average 4.5 star rating across over 8000 reviews globally on Google Play. Users appreciate Traced’s privacy-first ethos and threat detection capabilities.

What is Safe Browsing and how does it protect against phishing?
Mobile phishing attacks are on the rise (in fact, they increased 700% in the first half of last year (Source: Proofpoint data). There’s smishing, vishing, phishing over social media and email, and there’s also phishing content on the web that lures a target to download a malicious app or enter their private details into a form.

The free Trustd app protects consumers against phishing by scanning phishing links in text messages, email apps, productivity and messaging apps like Slack, WhatsApp, Skype and social media – blocking the link from opening.

Safe Browsing in Trustd Plus provides a deeper layer of phishing protection. It detects and blocks fake and malicious websites while users browse the web from any app. Safe Browsing would detect malicious websites such as those used in the Dracarys and Malibot malware campaigns, preventing users from accessing the sites before they could download the infected app. In phishing attacks that present forms that send sensitive data back to the attackers, Safe Browsing would block those webpages from opening before a victim can enter any personal information.

To experience peace of mind when browsing the web, users can subscribe to Trustd Plus through the Trustd app. Download from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).

About Traced
The Traced (https://traced.app) team of security and privacy evangelists has won several cybersecurity awards and works with Microsoft’s MISA program, the Coalition Against Stalkerware, and the NCSC for Startups. Combining the threat intelligence from 250k+ protected mobile devices with that of other industry vendors, Traced’s ever-evolving AI technology stays one step ahead of the cyber criminals, protecting individuals and businesses from data loss from mobile phishing attacks, compromised WiFi networks, unpatched devices, malware and leaky apps.

Apple’s eighth-generation model has sold the most units out of all other smartphones

The iPhone 6 (including the iPhone 6 Plus) is the best-selling smartphone of all time, selling 224 million units since it was released in 2014. The iPhone 6 is not the longest-running smartphone and nor does it offer the latest features – its popularity can be put down to overwhelmingly positive reviews and a redesign on the previous iPhone which balanced form and functionality.

As experts in technology, MAGFAST investigated the most popular phones throughout time and how the technology has developed, from the very first mobile phone released in the 1980s to the latest advancements in 5G. One portion of our study involved finding which cell phone models have sold the most units ever. Whilst it was the basic Nokia 1100 and Nokia 1110 that came first and second in the rankings, the iPhone 6 was the best-selling smartphone.

The iPhone 6 proved popular right at its launch. It received 4 million pre-orders within the first 24 hours of availability, which exceeded the number of units Apple had. Once it launched, it sold 10 million units just in the first three days of sale.

The iPhone 6 promised several improvements on the previous iPhone 5 and its variants. The iPhone 6 had a longer battery life, larger screen size and a higher resolution camera. However, even with its success, the model was not without its criticisms. It was the iPhone 6 that was subject to the infamous ‘bendgate’, where users reported the phone was susceptible to bending under pressure, such as being carried in a pocket. Apple maintained that this issue was “extremely rare” and replaced any unintentionally bent phone.

The next best-selling smartphone is the iPhone 6s (including the iPhone 6S Plus). These were the successor models, released a year after the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The 6S and 6S plus have sold 174 million units worldwide. They had a similar design to the preceding models but offered more durable hardware, a higher resolution camera, and updated software. Apple continues to dominate the smartphone market, with the next best-selling smartphone being the iPhone 5S. Released in 2013, this model sold 164 million units.

MAGFAST is the future of charging and connectivity. Our revolutionary family of premium chargers and charging accessories utilize the latest technology to ensure everyone can stay connected at home and on the road. MAGFAST is truly versatile and can be used with old, new and future devices. With such a range of cell phones now available, we looked into the history of mobile communication technology to find the most popular phones through time.

What is work-life balance and what does it mean?

Here is a simple definition to clear things up for you:
“Work-life balance is an important aspect of a healthy work environment. Maintaining work-life balance helps reduce stress and helps prevent burnout in the workplace. Chronic stress is one of the most common health issues in the workplace.” Forbes

Does that help clear things up? Does that help you understand how you’re supposed to maintain a healthy work-life balance? Didn’t think so.

The actual question should be “what does work-life balance mean to you?”. Because in reality, it is completely personal to each and everyone, as we all have different priorities and commitments.

For some, it is the ability to have a full productive workday and then having time to spend on hobbies — if you call binge-watch the newest season of The Handmaid’s Tale a hobby. No judgement here! For others, it’s the ability to balance their busy work schedules with spending quality time with family and friends, and not missing out on the important moments in your loved ones’ lives.

Work-life balance is essentially about having a flexible schedule so that you can focus and be present for whichever occasion, task, project or person you need to be without feeling stretched too thin or completely exhausted.

If that means that on some days you spend more hours working so that you can spend the next day with friends going to a park, or go surfing, then you can do so, guilt-free.

However when you’re constantly spending too much time on one area of your life and neglecting the other – and let’s face it, usually we sacrifice personal time for work obligations – that’s when it becomes a problem.

Signs of unhealthy work-life balance

Unfortunately, we live in a culture that praises being busy.  You must “always be closing” and “hustling”. We’re bombarded from all sides with what is supposed to be motivational content on how you must “go get it” and how taking it easy is a sign of failure. We feel ashamed to even admit that we need a time-out. So it’s no wonder that we struggle to recognize when there is an imbalance in our priorities between work commitments and our personal lives. Does this sound like you:

• You often work for long periods without leaving your desk
• You can’t remember when last you had a decent meal
• You can’t remember the last time you didn’t eat a meal at your desk
• You’re constantly checking work chats/emails even after logging off
• Friends and family comment/complain about you constantly being on your phone or working
• You get anxious about starting your workday
• You struggle to switch off when going to bed
• You often work nights and weekends
• You feel overwhelmed by your workload
• You feel emotionally and physically drained

Maybe you’re thinking to yourself: “These are all obvious, but they’re also normal and everyone feels like this, it’s just part of life and I can’t believe I’m wasting my time reading this article!”

Well, my friend, I’m sorry to say that it’s not normal. If two or more of these sound familiar, then your work-life balance is out of whack and you’re headed for disaster. You’re completely doomed!

Just kidding. It’s not that serious, but it could be.

This kind of lifestyle is not sustainable and can lead to burnout. And yes, burnout is a real thing, Karen!

If all you’re doing is living to work, and not living, then it’s time to rest and restore the balance.

Tips on how to improve your work-life balance

We get it, when you’re working for a paycheck and you just want someone to “show me the money!” then it’s tough to set those boundaries and achieve a healthy work-life balance. We’ve put together a few tips that will help you prioritize both your work responsibilities and your personal life.

Manage your calendar

Schedule it in.  Work schedules, appointments, due dates, dinner dates, gym classes, friend dates. Write it down. All of it.

By actually adding your personal time into your calendar or your diary, it becomes just as important as any other work commitment. It also gives you something to look forward to when you’ve had a hard day of “hustling”. 

Learn to say “no”

Steve Jobs did it. There’s even a famous quote by him about it “Innovation means saying no to 1000 things” Steve Jobs. If you’re constantly saying yes to things you don’t have time for, don’t like, or don’t really want to do, but you’re sure it will impress someone at the top, then you are saying no to other things that are actually important to you.

Knowing your limits, and saying no, doesn’t make you a bad employee or worker. In fact, you’re doing your team or client a favour by not overcommitting and under delivering. The same goes for personal engagements. If you don’t want to stay out all night going to that trendy, Instagrammable and overpriced club because you want to stay in your pj’s and rewatch Friends for the zillionth time, then say no!

Set boundaries and work hours

Just like learning to say no, learning how to set boundaries is crucial to maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Set out realistic working hours in your calendar and make sure your colleagues (especially the ones who always text you with “emergencies” after-hours) and clients know when you are available and understand that when you are out of the office, you won’t be answering emails, checking messages or taking calls. You also need to lead by example, if you don’t respect them, no one else will either.

Set goals and priorities

If you’re constantly starting your day all flustered and anxiety-riddled, then it might be good to spend a few minutes at the end of your workday, or just before going to bed, and planning for the following day. By writing down your top priorities and goals for the next day, you can jump straight in.

Some people are morning people — we know, so annoying — if you are one of those people, then make sure you schedule your tasks that need your full attention in the morning when you are most productive. If you struggle to focus for long periods of time, try using the Pomodoro method  which is a time management technique that breaks down tasks into short, manageable 25 minute intervals with short breaks in between. Although this method has been around since the ’80s, these days there are many time management apps based on this principle that actually block out any other distractions such as social media etc. allowing you to focus on your task.

Get help

You might think that you’re able to juggle it all, but you’re not auditioning for the circus, so if you find yourself dropping the ball on more than one occasion, then it’s time to get help. Small business owners and entrepreneurs often wear many hats, it’s true. But if you truly want to scale your business, you should focus on what you do best, and consider hiring a Virtual Assistant to help you manage the things that you don’t have time for, don’t have knowledge of, or just don’t like doing!

Prioritize your health.

This should be self-explanatory, but you need to make both your health and mental health a priority. You don’t have to immediately subscribe to Crossfit (is that still a thing?). Start simple. Take enough breaks away from your desk. Eat something. Eat it anywhere else but your desk!

Go to sleep at a decent hour, and get up at a decent hour. If you’re not part of the 5 am club, who cares?! As long as you feel well-rested, that’s all that matters.

Get moving — even if it’s walking to work, or up a flight of stairs, or to the shops, moving your body will help clear your mind and release those lovely feel-good endorphins that will boost your mood and your productivity. And remember, put it in your calendar!

Accept that there is no ‘perfect’ work-life balance.

Remember,  that there is no one-size-fits-all recipe and you won’t always get the balance perfectly right. You’ll have days where the scale will tip more to one end, and you’ll spend more time working than what you’d planned on, but as long as you acknowledge this and make sure that you’re not falling into old, unhealthy work-life habits, then you’re on the right track.

Let me begin with the Software’s features

• Conversion from NSF to PST: The Stellar Converter for NSF converts the. NSF extension files to PST format, which keeps the data and formatting of the files similar to its original state. You can also directly export the converted file to Outlook, as the data exists in its original form. 
• File Preview Before Finally Saving It: You can verify the data in the file, before saving it. The software gives you a chance to verify if everything is same as original, thereby ensuring data integrity.
• Easy Search Option for NSF files: If you do not know the exact location of your NSF files in the system, it can help you locate them using its ‘Find’ feature, thus saving your time. 
• Free Conversion from NSF to PST: You can convert for free up to 10 items per folder. If you wish to convert more items, you would have to purchase the Technician edition. The Technician will allow you to convert unlimited NSF files into PST file format, using the ‘Batch Conversion’ feature. 
• Export Directly to Outlook or Office 365: If you want to migrate from an on-premise Lotus Notes Server directly to MS Office365, you can do so with this software. But, for this, you would need its Technician version. Simply enter your Office 365 account details in the Technician version and all the NSF mailbox items will be directly exported to your account.
• Conversion into Different Formats: The NSF files can be converted into many file formats available in the software, such as PDF, MSG, RTF, HTML, and EML.
• Compatibility with Windows and Lotus Notes: The Stellar Converter for NSF is compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, and Windows Vista. Also, Lotus Notes version from 10.0.1 to 6.0 and MS Outlook from 2019 to older versions.

Take an Insight into Software Performance

Just like any other software, this one is also dependent on your system specifications. You would not need high-end hardware to run this software on your system. Below are the minimum requirements of this software:

• RAM: 4GB RAM (recommendable is 8GB)
• Operating System: Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7
• Processor: Pentium Class
• Storage space: 250 MB

How to Use This Software for NSF to PST File Conversion?

I must say that the software is easy to use, and let me take you through the steps to convert Lotus Notes or HCL Notes NSF files to Outlook PST file format. Before conversion, make sure you have Lotus Notes and Outlook installed on your system: 

Download the software from stellar website and begin the installation by double-clicking on will start the installation Download process. 

Once the installation is complete, launch the Stellar Converter for NSF tool. You will see a window ‘Select NSF File’ on the home screen. 

Click on ‘Browse’ and choose your NSF file. If you do not know the exact location, you may click on ‘Find’ button to locate all the NSF files in your system. After choosing the NSF file, select ‘Convert.’

You will see a preview of all your NSF mailbox items, like emails, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. after conversion. Further, choose ‘Save Converted Files.’

You will see a pop up window with different options to save the file, like MSG, EML, HTML, and more. Since, I wanted to convert into PST file format, I selected PST file format. Then, click on Next. You can also click on ‘Don’t save folder named ‘All’ as it contains duplicate data’ and this will not save any duplicate items.

When the ‘Choose Destination’ window appears, select ‘Browse’ and choose the location to save your file. Further, choose ‘OK’ to begin the saving process. 

When the process is complete, you will see a ‘Saving Complete’ dialog box. Finally click on ‘OK’.

Wrap Up

I must say this software gives you exactly what it offers, i.e., you will get a precise conversion of your NSF files to PST.  So, you will not have to deal with a long manual method where your data integrity may get compromised. You can first download the demo version like I did, and once you are satisfied with the software features, you can buy the complete license key. The Stellar Converter for NSF is also 100% accurate, and it keeps all your mailbox items, like reminders, emails, attachments, and contacts intact. Also, the structure and mailbox hierarchy are maintained like before. So, on a scale of 1-5, I would give it 5 out of 5, and you must go for it if you are willing to convert your Lotus Notes or HCL notes .NSF file into PST file format.

By now you must have heard of hair transplant and the most popular place to get the procedure is Turkey. To be more specific, Istanbul.

You may wonder why people lose hair. There are many reasons, some are, genetics, stress, what they eat. This can happen to people who are in their 20’s or 50’s, it is all about genetics and your lifestyle. Hair transplant is usually thought of as a procedure for men but, lately women have started to come too.

Few years ago, the idea of getting a hair transplant wasn’t a very popular idea, because not many people had it done and because it was so unknown, people didn’t trust it. Now thanks to social media, we can watch and read about people’s experiences and as people see other people getting it and seeing the results, they started to think more positive about it.

At first famous people started getting it, in those times it was seen as a very expensive procedure, but as technology advanced, prices went down, and people who weren’t famous started getting this procedure. As we all know, the prices in the UK are pretty high, especially when you compare it with other clinics in other countries, one of the clinics that has made a name for itself is Clinic Center, not only do they do hair transplant, but they also do plastic surgery and cosmetic dental procedures.

A lot of people also go for a holiday whilst they are in Turkey and why not? The weather is great, the food is wonderful and the people there are just so welcoming. Usually people first do the holiday part as they can’t go swimming after a hair transplant, and then they get the procedure done. So it is a win-win for the patient.

Right now the most popular technique is FUE, what happens is, they take hair from your donor area(without damaging it), then transplant it on the areas that you discussed before the procedure. Once everything is healed, there isn’t a scar.

Of course you may want to speak to someone first before going all the way to Turkey, very understandable, Clinic Center has an office in London where you can talk about what they do, prices etc. or they do video consultation for those who can’t come to London. They don’t just look after you before and during, but they carry on looking after you when you are back at home! So patients who want to ask something or get checked can.

Now you know, there practically isn’t an age limit or sex limit for loss of hair and the solution is simple: hair transplant, some people have asked this question, is it temporary or not? The answer is, it isn’t temporary. As long as you are eating healthy and don’t smoke, you shouldn’t have any issues. One more question that keeps coming is, does it look natural or like a wig? If you get it done by an experienced trichologist, it will look natural.

So, if hair loss is bothering you and you want to do something about it, you should definitely think of getting the procedure done. After about 9 months you should be able to see the results. But sometimes this number can go up to 12 months. Once you had the hair transplant, you should remember that you need to be patient for the results and once you see the results, that’s it! They are there to stay.
