  • Ten Steps to Smartphone Security
    Ten Steps to Smartphone Security Smartphones continue to grow in popularity and are now as powerful and functional as many computers. It is important to protect your smartphone just like you protect your computer as mobile cybersecurity threats are growing. These mobile security tips can help you reduce the risk of exposure to mobile security threats: 1. Set PINs and passwords. To prevent unauthorized access to your phone, set a password or Personal Identification Number (PIN) on your phone’s home screen as a first line of defense in case your phone is lost or stolen. When possible, use a different password for each of your important log-ins (email, banking, personal sites, etc.). You should configure your phone to automatically lock after five minutes or less when your phone is idle, as well as use the SIM password capability available on most smartphones. 2. Do not modify your smartphone’s security settings. Do not alter security settings for convenience. Tampering with your phone’s factory settings, jailbreaking, or rooting your phone undermines the built-in security features offered by your wireless service and smartphone, while making it more susceptible to an attack. 3. Backup and secure your data. You should backup all of the data stored on your phone – such as your contacts, documents, and photos. These files can be stored on your computer, on a removal storage card, or in the cloud. This will allow you to conveniently restore the information to your phone should it be lost, stolen, or otherwise erased. 4. Only install apps from trusted sources.

    Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Livestock Systems INNOVATION SUMMARY: SMS “VIRTUAL COLLECTION CENTER” SMARTPHONE APP The Virtual Collection Center (VCC) is an innovative short message service (SMS) mobile application (app) for improved goat marketing. Through the use of the VCC app, inventory updates flow from cooperative members to leaders, while cooperative leaders use the VCC app to share price information with members and fill orders from traders by inviting members to sales events. The VCC app improves the goat value chain by reducing transaction costs, which should strengthen cooperatives and benefit small livestock producers by increasing trade volumes. Lead Implementing Institution: University of Florida Category: Marketing & Distribution Applied in: Nepal The VCC app is implemented by Heifer International Nepal whose Innovation Type: Technology New/Adapted: New field personnel assist cooperative members in downloading the app while providing training and Created for: Mainly Women Nutrition Linkage: Dietary Quality monitoring in the initial stages.

Within cooperatives, the In Nepal, goats are an essential source of income and nearly every rural Nepali household app is accessed by “VCC owns at least a few goats. To buy goats, traders often travel over large areas characterized managers”, who are members of cooperative self-help groups by rugged terrain and poor infrastructure, making multiple visits to individual households necessary to complete sales. The resulting high transaction costs can stifle the value chain. (subgroups within the Cooperatives can reduce transaction costs by allowing for bulk purchases of animals.

  • Mobile Phone from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Mobile phone From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Siemens AX72. Galaxy Nexus, an example of a smartphone A mobile phone (also known as a wireless phone, cell phone, or cellular telephone[1]) is a very small portable radio telephone. The mobile phone can be used to communicate over long distances without wires. It works by communicating with a nearby base station (also called a "cell site") which connects it to the main phone network. As the mobile phone moves around, if the mobile phone gets too far away from the cell it is connected to, that cell sends a message to another cell to tell the new cell to take over the call. This is called a "hand off," and the call continues with the new cell the phone is connected to. The hand-off is done so well and carefully that the user will usually never even know that the call was transferred to another cell. As mobile phones became more popular, they began to cost less money, and more people could afford them. Monthly plans became available for rates as low as US$30 or US$40 a month. Cell phones have become so cheap to own that they have mostly replaced pay phones and phone booths except for urban areas with many people. Many mobile phones are "smartphones". As well as making voice calls, they can be used as computers.
