Care and cleaning of camper trailer and tent

Tweet

With the weather improving, people in this part of the world are looking forward to enjoy their camping vacation. It is time to check out on your camper trailer. It has been months since your last camping trip and you will need to get your trailer fresh and clean from top to bottom before you set out on your next camping vacation. Starting early will give yourself plenty of time in case you come across any parts that need extra attention or replacement.

Before you start cleaning, equip yourself with all the proper cleaning tools, sponges, a big wash brush mounted on a pole long enough to areas that you won’t be able to reach, hose, bucket, vacuum, liquid washers, etc. Cleaning should start from the roof of your overland trailer first and then begin to work your way down for the exterior.

For the interior of your trailer, start with the sinks, shower and water tanks using an all natural solution mixture of half cup vinegar, quarter cup of baking soda and half gallon of warm water. This serves as an all-purpose cleaning solution for the interior of your shower, stove, and countertops. Next, remove any leftover junks, sweep the floor, and vacuum the rugs.

Next, take a look at your roof top tent. Even though it was in good condition when it was stored away, there is no harm checking it one more time before you hit the road. If it rains, you wouldn’t want your vacation to be spoiled by a leaking roof top tent. If you find that the roof top tent is worn, then it time to get a replacement. It is better not to risk your roof top tent falling apart in the middle of your camping vacation.

These days, there are many online websites supplying roof top tents, camping gear, off road gear, and etc. and you can easily order a new roof top tent or whatever you need from these websites e.g. the tuff stuff 4x4. Here you can find stuffs like winches and off road lightings, their accessories and mountings. Apart from these, this is a place to source for Jeep bumpers, and Jeep accessories.

Magic? Nah, it’s just Vivo X21’s In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology

Tweet

At a touch of a finger, the all-new Vivo X21 unlocks a world of endless possibilities with its revolutionary In-Display Fingerprint Scanner. 

The technology, which was introduced in the Philippines last June 21, replaced the rear fingerprint sensor not only to achieve a sleek and unified design but also to offer an immersive smartphone experience. 

So how does this the fingerprint scanner work? It all boils down to science and meticulous research. 

When the user's finger touches the screen for unlocking, the Vivo X21’s Super AMOLED display emits light to illuminate the finger. The optical fingerprint sensor below the OLED display captures the light reflected by the fingerprint. Based on the reflected light from the unique ridges on the fingerprint, the sensor processes the optical signals to deliver crisp and sharp fingerprint images for matching. 

Moreover, when fingerprint recognition is needed, such as when the screen is off and for unlocking apps, a fingerprint recognition icon will appear on the screen for users to press for immediate authentication. Otherwise, the fingerprint icon is invisible to ensure a seamless mobile experience.

The current unlocking speed is only 0.6 second.

The decision to mass produce the In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology was made after an extensive research into different biometric solutions in the market as well as consumer habits and market needs. To recall, Vivo has various research and development centers worldwide, including the United States (San Diego) and China (Shenzhen, Dongguan, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Beijing).

Perfecting the In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology was no easy feat as it was a huge challenge to integrate the sensor to the Vivo X21’s internal design and screen. Vivo had to redesign the internal structure of the phone to make this vision come to life. 

At MWC Shanghai 2017, Vivo unveiled the industry’s first Vivo Under-Display Fingerprint Scanning Solution. Then at CES 2018, the global smartphone brand displayed a ready-to-produce smartphone with the world’s first In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology. 

The Vivo X21 with the pioneering In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology is available for Php29,999 at these participating stores <a href=“http://vivoglobal.ph/x21_stores/”>.

The foundation of City of Dreams Manila is committed to implement and fund projects for environmental and health programs

Signing the Memorandum of Agreement are, from left: Melco Resorts (Philippines) Foundation Corporation’s Corporate Secretary Marissa Tomacruz-Academia, Foundation Vice President Armin Raquel Santos, City of Dreams Manila’s COO Kevin Benning representing Foundation President Clarence Chung and Secretary of National Defense Delfin N. Lorenzana. Witnessing the signing are Jose Memorial Medical Center’s Chief II Emmanuel Montaña, Jr., Antonio Mariano Almeda, Department of Health Undersecretary Herminigildo V. Valle, former Presidential Security Group Commander Brig. Gen. Lope C. Dagoy and the Department of National Defense’s Acquisition, Installations and Logistics ASEC Jesus Rey R. Avilla and Chief of Legal Affairs Service Norman Daanoy.

Melco Resorts (Philippines) Foundation Corporation (MRP Foundation, the foundation of City of Dreams Manila) signed a memorandum of agreement with the Department of National Defense for the construction of the Presidential Security Group station hospital in the vicinity of Malacanang Palace. The hospital will be constructed by MRP Foundation in support of PAGCOR’s directive to the integrated resorts to implement and fund projects for environmental and health programs.

Secretary of National Defense Delfin Lorenzana signed the agreement with MRP Foundation’s Kevin Benning, chief operating officer of City of Dreams Manila representing Clarence Chung, president; Armin Raquel Santos, vice president; Marissa Tomacruz-Acadamia, corporate secretary. The signing ceremony was witnessed by Brig. Gen. Lope Dagoy, until recently the Commander of the Presidential Security Group; Department of Health Undersecretary Herminigildo Valle; Jose Memorial Medical Center’s Chief II Emmanuel Montaña, Jr., Antonio Mariano Almeda; and from the Department of National Defense, Jesus Rey R Avilla, Assistant Secretary for Acquisitions, Installations and Logistics, and Norman Daanoy, Chief Legal Affairs.

The support for the construction of the PSG hospital is also part of MRP Foundation’s long-term and sustainable corporate social responsibility undertakings to support environmental and health programs. Last year, the foundation upon the agreement with PAGCOR committed to a monthly donation of P1 Million or a year’s donation of P12 Million to the government of Parañaque City’s health program to procure medicines, medical supplies and equipment for the city’s government-maintained hospitals.

On a broader perspective and to complement the MRP Foundation initiatives, City of Dreams Manila upholds its long-term commitment to contribute primarily to the communities in which the luxury resort operates its business. This responsibility to create a positive impact in society is deeply ingrained in every employee through active volunteerism. More than 4,000 of its employees or 80% of its workforce have participated in the resort’s sustainable Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs. Various CSR activities are held at least twice a month during which employees regardless of rank work hand in hand to help those in need and conserve the environment.

City of Dreams Manila’s year-round outreach programs include providing for basic needs, social and learning activities for orphans and the elderly; annual blood donations for Red Cross; donating relief goods for those affected by disasters, and participating in tree-planting and coastal clean-up drives. The various undertakings are aptly named “Spoonful of Dreams” for the care of orphans and street children, ”Connecting Dreams” for the special time spent with the elderly, “Headful of Dreams” for educational sessions for children and elders, “Hopeful Dreams“ for hospital visits to indigent patients, “Growing Dreams“ for environmental protection and “Building Dreams” for the repair of beneficiary shelters and schools and volunteering for construction work in select communities.
