Review: Smart Writing Service

Posted by | Aug 11, 2014 | |

If you’re a student dealing with all the factors of a busy academic life, you understand what it’s like to be sitting up late, staring at your computer screen with nothing but the blank cursor staring back. And staring down a major paper deadline the next day. Luckily, Smart Writing Service provides high-quality writing assignments that help smooth out the educational process for students. I gave them a try and loved their services. Here’s what I thought of Smart Writing Service, and why you should give them a try, too. Great writers Smart Writing Service doesn’t hire just anyone to write for them. They make sure to hire professional writers who pay meticulous attention to detail, and it’s easy to see this in the quality of their work. My paper was clearly well-researched and thought out, and sounds like it took plenty of time to craft. This is not just some company that churns out term papers like a factory. Their writers take the time to really understand the assignment and create a great paper with thoughtful attention to detail, clear voice and accurate facts. Personal assistance When I applied to have a paper written by Smart Writing Service, I was surprised at the personal service and attention to detail they provided right off the bat. They asked for all the detailed information we had so they could create...

Always Worth a Trip: The Holi in India

Posted by | Jul 25, 2014 | |

Surely you have heard of the popular Holi Festival of Colours or the Holi One. Since a couple of years, this event has become very famous all over the world. Until now, the festival took also place in Prague but, anyway, it is much better to visit directly the source: India.   The Holi in India has a long tradition with many different rituals. It is a spring festival and therefore celebrated around March. As you may know from the Holi Festivals in Europe, it is traditional (and most known in the world) to throw colored powder at each other and play, dance and sing in this colorful atmosphere, but the Holi is also more than just throwing colored powder. First of all, the festival is initiated with a bonfire which represents the victory of the good over the evil. This is one of the deeper meanings behind this cheerful spirit, but also to welcome the spring, make peace with others and forgive mistakes.   Since New Delhi is the capital of India, the festival is very big around here. It is one possibility where you can experience the festival but of course there are many other cities and regions where they celebrate the Holi. Flights from Prague to Delhi take about ten hours. I recommend looking for rooms for rent in India, in this case in Delhi, so...

The Growth of Technology in Africa

Posted by | Jul 25, 2014 | |

Africa is a continent which is growing substantially over the past few decades. Prominent technology companies have got their eye on Africa now, and it’s easy to see why. Africa is perching on a point where it could potentially be bringing in billions of dollars from technology and the world starting to show interest. New technology projects The growth of technology in Africa can be seen through many new projects popping up around the continent. For example, Microsoft is bringing broadband internet to Kenya in places that don’t even have electricity yet. They will use solar power to help give the people here access to broadband internet. There are many projects going on using mobile technology as well to give people access to communication and education. Mobile learning Educating people throughout Africa has always been a challenge, as so many communities are built in places with little or no access to schools. But instead of trying to build enough schools and hire enough teachers to provide enough education, mobile learning is providing a way for students to learn from anywhere. The growth of mobile e-learning in Africa is helping the continent to develop rapidly and help its people rise up to become well-educated and contribute to the economy in greater ways. Scientific advancements The combination of scientific and technological advancements in Africa are putting in the world’s eye as...
