No need to struggle through student life in the 21st century – there’s an app for everything! From apps that help you stay focused, find discounts, and keep track of notes. Our list is here with 10 great services for every student heading into 2023 – transforming any device into a reliable study companion.
#1 Evernote
You need an app that can help keep all your notes and tasks organized. Enter Evernote: the best app for students to effortlessly create, manage and organize every single thought or task! Unlike traditional note-taking which only includes text-based components; this world-class software lets users form their own ‘electronic notebooks’ using a combination of photos, drawings (handwritten included!), audio clips – even connecting web content too – so nothing gets lost ever again. Furthermore, its advanced features include tagging labels to each file, attaching documents as well as flagging important reminders when needed — making time management easier than ever before… Don’t miss out on the best note-taking experience with Evernote!
#2 Forest
If you are looking for great services to help students to study without being distracted by their phones, then we have the solution. Forest is the perfect solution. This app encourages users to start a study or focus session by planting virtual trees in their forest, giving them an incentive not to break away from working on something important. As you continue focusing for longer periods of time, more trees will grow; however, if the user does give in to distraction then the tree dies instantly! The added bonus is that with each planted digital tree real ones are also being supported – making it easier than ever before to maintain productivity (and make our planet greener!).
#3 PDF scanner
It can be inconvenient that you do not have a digital copy of a document. Looking for or buying a physical scanner is not the best solution. Just use the PDF scanner and you can do what you want with your phone. The scanning tool is able to recognize text and keep it in focus, so nothing will merge. Then you can even convert PDF to docs. All you need is to download the scanner app for iOS and point the camera at the document. Scan docs have never been as easy as it is now.
#4 Motion
University students are all too familiar with the struggle of trying to stay focused and productive on their laptops. It can often feel like notifications were designed specifically as distractions, making it extremely difficult to study without taking a quick peek at social media sites for dopamine-releasing relief. Fortunately, there is an alternative: Motion – a free browser extension that blocks out these tempting digital temptations from websites such as Facebook and YouTube so you can do what needs doing without distraction! Plus it’s totally customizable to fit your goals and lifestyle perfectly!
#5 RefME
Need a break from struggling to correctly reference your research papers and essays? RefME has got you covered! With its clever app, finding and citing resources is so much easier – plus it can automate tedious tasks like citations, reference lists, and bibliographies. You’ll no longer have to spend hours trawling the web for relevant reading material or going cross-eyed trying to make sure every detail is accurate – giving you more time for what really matters: honing your academic skills.
#6 SimpleMind
For those who find mind mapping an effective way to organize their thoughts, SimpleMind is the perfect solution. Available as both a browser version and an app for mobile devices, it provides everything one needs to quickly create detailed maps without having to purchase any additional features. With options such as multiple page creations with various colors, along with pre-defined style sheets in case of time-crunching urgency – its best feature is expandable/collapsible branches that help manage large amounts of information while using small space on screens!
#7 Mathway
Don’t fear Maths any longer – downloading Mathway could be the key to tackling numbers like a pro! Whether you have basic calculations or complex equations, this app can solve them for you and even give an explanation of how if needed. Students who’ve been dreading encountering figures in university (especially those in social science programs!) no longer need to worry; with one click away from conquering all things numerical, every problem is just another challenge waiting to be solved.
#8 Oxford Dictionary of English
No matter what type of phone you own, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) app is an absolute must-have. The OED reigns supreme when it comes to definitions and spelling – plus, its ability to search a word just by taking a picture of it makes any academic’s life much easier! If that weren’t enough though, this amazing tool also provides users with “Word of the Day” notifications – expanding your vocabulary while impressing your teachers in one fell swoop!
#9 Picolo
Ready to get the party started? Try out Picolo, an app that kicks things up a notch with endless creative drinking game ideas! No need to worry about remembering complicated rules or keeping track of score – all you have to do is enter your friends’ names and let Picolo pull off some funny (sometimes inappropriate) rounds from other classics like Ring of Fire, plus exciting dares such as reading aloud someone’s last text. Whether it’s for freshers week or just another night in with your buddies, make sure everyone has plenty of laughs thanks to this perfect pre-drinks companion!
#10 Sleep Cycle
Each night, we strive to attain that glorious eight hours of sleep. Nevertheless, rising on the seventh morning can often be difficult – no matter how many jokes about students’ love for sleeping! Thankfully though with Sleep Cycle 2.0 now at our disposal, it’s possible to wake ourselves up during the lightest moments of slumber instead – giving us a refreshing feeling rather than an awful case of grogginess and grumpiness! To ensure you receive your best rest yet remember: 8 hours solid is essential but make sure whatever alarm app you use deals softly when it comes time to get out from under those cozy covers in the A.M.
Conclusion
There are plenty of apps available to help students stay organized and productive, but the best ones are those that embrace new technologies and innovative ideas. From mind mapping tools to educational resources, from creative drinking games to sleep trackers – there’s something for everyone! With these ten apps in your arsenal, you’ll quickly find yourself with more free time to relax and your learning outcomes will improve.
There are a lot of paraphrasing tools available nowadays. Given how commonly they’re used, it’s handy to have a lot of options to pick from.
If you’re looking to pick and use a paraphrasing tool for your writing needs, you can start by looking at the options enumerated below. We’ll look at five different AI-based paraphrasing tools and the quality of their results. We will also discuss their feature, pros, and cons as well as their pricing particulars.
With all these details, you will be able to make your pick easily and get started with a tool that works well for you.
Paraphraser.io comes at the top of our list due to three simple reasons: it’s free to start, it provides smart results and its interface is not encumbered with the usual deluge of annoying ads ubiquitous in most free online tools.
In order to give you a clear and accurate idea of how well this tool works, we tried it out a couple of times on different texts.
One thing to note about Paraphraser.io is that it comes with four different modes. All the modes provide different results. In the coming demonstration, we will use different modes in order to cover the functionality of this tool as much as we can.
Quality of Results: The Demonstration
One of the biggest issues that paraphrasing tools can face is context preservation. In a piece of tricky text, average-quality paraphrasing tools can get confused, thus ending up making nonsensical changes.
Keeping the above in mind, here is the text that we decided to run through Paraphraser.io. We made it a little contextually challenging in order to demonstrate how well the AI of this tool works. (This input is going to be a little short. We’ll do a larger test after this one.)
Input text: “Concomitant to sagacity is morality, often borne in men of religiosity. Far from being a linguistical anomaly, the veracity of this statement is manifest as clear as its brevity.”
Here is the output that Paraphraser.io gave out (using the Smart mode):
In the results, you can see how the tool understood the words “concomitant to sagacity” and changed them to “prudence involves…”
Apart from being an accurate paraphrase, one remarkable aspect of the output is the improved readability. The words “concomitant to sagacity” are, while sophisticated, needlessly convoluted. On the other hand, the words “prudence involves” are much simpler and better to read.
In the same way, the tool also changed the overly wordy phrase “men of religiosity” to “religious people”.
The above test didn’t involve a lot of text. Let’s run the process another time using some more words. Here is the text that we will be using this time.
“Idly sifting the autumn leaves through his fingers, the hunter followed the buck with his gaze as it grazed on the grass. As the hunter shifted his weight, a twig snapped, sending a loud crack through the air. The buck plucked his ears back, his dark eyes fixed on the hunter. The hunter pursed his lips as the buck pranced away into the dark forest.”
Although the changes were a little different this time, the context still remained largely unchanged.
Gleaning from the above results, we can say that Paraphraser.io provides smart outputs, given that you use the right modes. The Fluency mode is fine for basic use, but it is not very mind-blowing like the Smarter and Creative modes. The Standard mode, on the other hand, is good only for some raw synonym changing.
Features, Pros, and Cons
Now that we’re done looking at the results, let’s move on to the features provided by this tool. We’ll then enumerate some pros and cons so that you can get a good idea about the overall standing of this tool.
Features:
Comes with a total of four modes (Standard, Fluency, Creative, and Smarter)
Has an input limit of 600 words for free users and 1,500 words for paid users
Supports 22 different languages
Supports file uploads
Useful post-processing options such as copying, erasing, and downloading the output
Synonym suggestions by clicking on the highlighted words in the output
The second tool on our list is Rephrase.info. Although we will go through this tool the same way that we did above, the brief reason for mentioning it here in the second spot is the annoying ads around the interface.
As far as the functionality and accuracy of this tool go, it is on par with Paraphraser.io. Like Paraprhaser.io, Rephrase.info offers multiple modes, each of which is designed to provide a specific type of results.
Moving on, let’s do some test runs with this tool in order to demonstrate how accurate and reliable its results are. Since there are five different modes on this tool, we won’t be able to try them all out. Rather, we’ll stick to just a couple of them.
Quality of Results: The Demonstration
Like the one above, we will first use a short piece of text for the demonstration and then move on to some larger content.
The benefit of dividing the demo like this is that you’ll be able to get an idea of how well the tool performs in different situations. For example, if we just run a couple of lines through the tool, it won’t exactly be a good way to judge the overall quality.
For the first demo, here is the text that we will be using:
Input Text: “Arcane terminology is not moronic drivel, contrary to what the contention of the laity implies.”
Frankly speaking, and without being biased, the results that Rephrase.info provided for this input are baffling.
Output Text: “Ambiguoustermsare not asabsurdastheaveragepersonwouldmakethemout to be.”
The output looks nothing like the input we provided. Other than the meaning, virtually everything else has been changed, and that is the epitome of good paraphrasing: preserving the meaning with maximum textual changes.
But we have to stay fair. We did use the ‘Smart’ mode for this one, and it is pretty much the best out of the five. If we paraphrase this same text using the ‘Standard’ mode, here are what the results look like:
As you can see, in this output, the changes are not that extensive and the synonyms used are also not very on point.
While we’re mentioning this point to stay critical, it really doesn’t matter, in our opinion, what one of the less powerful modes of this tool does. Our concern is with what it can do at its peak (i.e., the Smart mode). And as far as that goes, the results were pretty good.
Now, let’s move on to another test to see how well this tool works on a larger piece of content. Here is the text that we will be using this time:
“The concatenation of too many terms in the paper could birth ambiguity, which could be detrimental to its overall quality. Enigma in content, especially that of academic nature, can lead the reader to have ambivalent impressions about it. Indecisiveness is seldom a positive aspect, and when it comes to rating a paper, it is hardly something to be sanguine about.”
It took time to come up with this twaddle. But the tool did impress us yet again. Here are what the results look like:
Other than the error/discrepancy in the last sentence, the rest of the output is along the same lines as the input. The good thing about the output is that the changes are not merely confined to synonym switching. Rather, the whole sentences are humanly rewritten.
Features, Pros, and Cons
Like the quality of the results, the features of Rephrase.info are also quite similar to those of Paraphraser.io. Here they are:
Comes with five different paraphrasing modes (Fluency, Standard, Creative, Smart, and Formal)
File upload feature
Supports 22 different languages
Useful post-processing options (such as copying, clearing, and downloading)
The third tool is Quillbot, a paraphraser that’s making big waves in the industry. It’s capable of rewording and reworking everything from short sentences to large paragraphs, and the tool comes with a whopping 5 modes (plus expand and shorten).
We also want to note that Quillbot can paraphrase in 23 different languages! Speaking of languages, did you know that you can also use Quillbot to translate text, check your grammar, and analyze your content for plagiarism? It can even act as a co-writer, summarizer, and citation generator. With Quillbot, you basically get an all-in-one writing companion!
But we’re here to talk about the paraphraser. Let’s see how Quillbot stands up against our tests.
1. Quality of Results: The Demonstration
Quillbot has a function called “try sample text,” but it seems to generate the same text every time. Instead, we’ll use a sentence Quillbot may not be used to so we can see if it keeps the context. First, we’ll start with a small quote and see what we get.
Here’s what we put into Quillbot:
“A central theme in the history of dyslexia is the tension between the specificity of the disorder and its complex association with other forms of learning disability.”
Quillbot was more than capable of changing the entire sentence without throwing away the context. Not only that, but I could check the grammar and for plagiarism in the same tool. That’s important, as I can make sure I’m not unintentionally stealing another person’s work.
We also checked the fluency mode, and this is what Quillbot came up with:
Whereas standard mode works to change the text and keep its meaning, fluency mode improves language and fixes grammar errors. You can see that there’s a lot less orange (changed words) and one instance of blue (longest unchanged words), but that makes sense, considering the original text was already grammatically sound.
For testing the large paragraph, we’re going to use the same text from Rephrase:
Interestingly, Quillbot produced a different outcome than Rephrase. We feel that Quillbot did a better job at keeping the context and reducing the number of complex words.
2. Features, Pros, and Cons
Quillbots features are similar to the other paraphrasers on this list, but no other tool can compete with the variety it can bring. Here are the tool’s most important features:
Coming up third on our list is Wordtune. Wordtune is a popular name when it comes to paraphrasers because of its distinct style of working. It doesn’t work like normal paraphrasers (such as the two discussed above). Rather, it paraphrases the content line by line. For each line, it provides a lot of different outputs.
Sadly enough, the distinct feature of this tool is also the reason that we’re mentioning it here in the third spot. Since this tool works on a line-by-line basis, it cannot collectively paraphrase a lot of content at once.
We don’t want to paint this tool a bad picture right from the bat. Let’s take a look at the quality of its paraphrasing to find out how well it works.
Quality of Results: The Demonstration
We can’t text this tool out the same way as we did the ones above since Wordtune only processes the input sentence by sentence. So, instead of entering a small piece of text and then entering a larger one, we will just do one round and then analyze the results.
Here is the input that we will be trying out with Wordtune:
“Contumacy compounds ignorance when both of them are found in a man of low intellect.”
This input hardly makes sense, which makes it all the better for trying out the comprehending ability of a tool like Wordtune.
As we said above, Wordtune provides more than one result when the process is started. When we entered the above sentence in the tool, here are the results that we got:
Among the different rewrites that we got, this one was particularly impressive:
“Adding contumacy to ignorance in a man of low intelligence is a recipe for disaster.”
Although this particular rewrite was not exactly a bland statement as the input, it still is a good output that shows how far the tool goes to understand the entered text.
Features, Pros, and Cons
The demonstration section with this tool was a little short, but there isn’t much scope for diversity considering that it works sentence by sentence.
Now, let’s move on to look at its features, pros, and cons. Here are the features:
Free to access (with limited rewrites per day)
Different modes for paraphrasing
Option to shorten or expand the text
Editor Notes for finding and removing imperfections
Comes with formatting options in the online editor version
Moving on with our list, we have the paraphrasing tool by Editpad.org.
Unlike the tools we’ve looked at so far on our list, the paraphrasing tool by Editpad.org has a little clunky and outdated interface. The developers have been…generous with the ads and the whole interface looks very unsightly with all of them floating around.
If it was not for the results that this tool provides, we wouldn’t have mentioned it here on this list. But luckily for itself, the paraphrasing tool is equipped with advanced algorithms, due to which it provides coherent and intelligent outputs.
It also provides multiple modes, much like Rephrase.info and Paraphraser.io
Let’s test this tool out the same way we did the ones above.
Quality of the Results: The Demonstration
Like the other tools discussed above, the paraphrasing tool by Editpad also has multiple modes. We won’t actually test all of them, but we will try and get a couple of them.
To begin with, we will run a small sentence through this paraphraser to get an idea of how well it understands the provided input. For this purpose, we will be using the following sentence:
“The opprobrium disgorged by the person was mere vitriol, with no head nor tail i.e., it was neither here nor there vis-à-vis the topic at hand.”
Output:The opprobrium a person spat out was just venom without a head and a tail, ie. was neither here nor there in relation to the subject at hand.
As far as understanding the context goes, this tool performed well. The changes it made are all in line with the actual context and there aren’t any discrepancies.
But we did find one thing a little disappointing. The word “opprobrium” is a little difficult, but the tool did nothing to improve it. Had we entered this same sentence in any of the other tools above, we’re confident that they would have changed it.
Moving on, let’s put a larger paragraph in the tool to see how well it changes it. Here is the paragraph that we will be trying out:
“Deviating from his regimen, the person decided to take five pills instead of the prescribed two. The next evening found him lolling around his chair, his head drooped to one side. It later transpired that he had eaten 20 pieces of candy instead of the pills, and it was pure felicity that made him loll about.”
The output is a bit long so we won’t paste it here, but you can see what it looks like in the image above.
We used the “Smarter” mode for this test, and the results were not as good compared to the other tools we used above. There wasn’t any nonsense in there, but some of the words were not properly replaced.
Features, Pros, and Cons
Now that we’re done with checking the results, let’s take a look at the features, pros, and cons of the paraphrasing tool by Editpad.
Here are the features that you can enjoy with this tool:
Four different paraphrasing modes (Smooth, Formal, Smart, and Improver)
Although we’re mentioning Paraphraseonline.io at the end of this list, it’s actually one of our personal favorites. The blue and white layout with the no ads interface looks great, and the animated backdrop gives the tool some nice aesthetics that aren’t as easily found in other online tools.
Like the others, Paraphraseonline.io is free to access and it can be used indefinitely without any sort of subscription. It also provides smart results and provides an overall excellent user experience.
One of the most remarkable features that Paraphraseonline.io offers is its large input limit. You can enter 2,500 words in the tool in a single go. Considering the input limits given by the other tools, 2,500 words is quite generous.
Moving on, let’s take a look at how well this tool performs when it comes to actually paraphrasing content.
Quality of Results: The Demonstration
Since this tool doesn’t work like Wordtune and it has multiple modes, we will be running two different pieces of text in order to test it.
This is the first sentence that we will be using:
“Contrary to felicity is grievance, which manifests itself on the occasions when grievance is deemed natural.”
As you can see in the image above, the output is true to the actual context and there aren’t any nonsensical words in there.
One remarkable aspect of the results provided by this tool is that the structure of the first clause is changed entirely. This reflects the ability of the tool to make extensive changes to the content without losing touch with the context.
Moving on, let’s look at how well this tool works with large pieces of text. We did bash Editpad on the quality of its results, so to back that up, let’s take the same content that we used for it and put it into Paraphraseonline.io.
Comparing the results with the ones provided by Editpad, Paraphraseonline.io did a far better job.

Conclusion
So, there you have it.
There are a lot of paraphrasing tools that you can use in 2023, but there are only a few that are actually worth using. Hopefully, after reading the above, you have a good idea about which one you should use according to your particular need and requirement.
There are different types of writing with their objective. But one common attribute is that in all cases, the author must provide detailed information to help readers understand the topic. This is also true for expository papers. Most of us have written expository essays before, maybe not intentionally. Regardless, you need to know what goes into writing one to keep up with your coursework and assignments. This article explains everything you need about expository writing and tips for drafting the perfect paper.
What is expository writing?
This article is a type of expository writing. Expository is from the word ‘expose,’ which means to reveal something to someone. Therefore, the article explains, investigates, or ‘exposes’ information about a topic. It is like answering questions from someone who wants to know why and how things happen. As a result, you should assume that the reviewer does not know anything about the subject and simplify from scratch. Examples include newspaper articles, manuals, textbooks, and other forms of writing.
Can I order custom expository writing online?
Expository writing is not limited to the education field alone. Your supervisor can ask you to professionally submit a report or research essay topics. If you don’t have the skills to write one, we recommend you hire essay and expository writing services at Edusson.com to get into top schools or score a higher grade. Ordering custom expository essay writing online lets you leverage expert writers with more knowledge of the latest writing and formatting requirements. When you hire someone to write an expository essay, you can buy from a pool of professionals for guaranteed results.
What are the types of expository writing?
Expository writing comes in different forms, depending on the writer’s goal. The following are the most popular types:
Problem and solution
This type of essay is one of the common expository essays in literature. It requires the author to identify a problem and suggest a solution. Not only this, but you should justify the answer and explain the implementation analysis. For example, how to put your baby to sleep or solve a popular problem. Ultimately, the reviewer is free to adopt your recommendation or decide for themselves. This essay has four components, namely:
Situation.
Problem.
Solution.
Evaluation.
Let us assume you want to discuss a problem like gun violence or school shootings. First, explain the situation and state the problem. Then, suggest solutions like gun licensing, firearm age restriction, imprisonment, better security in schools, etc.
Cause and effect
A cause-and-effect essay defines the relationship between two elements or objects to know if one caused the other. Why did something happen, and what is its impact? The effect can either be negative or positive. But your main goal is to provide supporting evidence to demonstrate the relationship between the two ideas. This type of essay can be based on assumptions or facts. There are two ways to structure your essay:
Chain structure: you present the clauses one at a time, followed by their effects.
Block structure: you present all the clauses and then all their effects.
Compare and contrast
The compare and contrast essay is a comparison that attempts to check the similarities and differences between the two subjects. As a result, it is often used for ideas in the same category. For the best results, we recommend you research enough to elaborate on the pros and cons of the subjects. When discussing whether children should be allowed to play inside or outside, you must compare why it is vital and why one is worse than the other.
Definition and classification
Our article is a type of definition or classification essay. It describes a concept, place, or experience by adding depth to help comprehension. More than defining the concept, a classification essay summarizes by telling you the types and how many forms of a thing exist.
How-to/process
A how-to paper examines the process involved in completing a task. If you’re discussing how to increase your Etsy sales or cut a tree, the process essay must include procedures to solve the problem. The writer first identifies the problem, gives steps the audience will follow, and states the result.
Tips for drafting expository essay
Research extensively on the topic
One of the mistakes students make is failing to research their subject matter. Unknown to many, the only way to have sound knowledge about any topic. Pour through books, journals, materials, and online resources for information before writing.
Pick a structure
Most papers follow the introduction – body paragraph – conclusion format. But this is not mandatory. We recommend you speak to your supervisor or teacher about the number of paragraphs required and the word count. While researching information, take notes and use them to form your outline.
Form your thesis statement
The thesis is the main part of your essay. It sums up the central theme of your paper and appears at the end of the introductory paragraph. Ensure the statement aligns with the content of your essay for proper understanding.
Write an introductory paragraph
The opening paragraph determines whether the reviewer will read the entire essay. Start with a hook – something enticing to capture and pique your reader’s attention. Then, slowly ease into the main content and guide them through transitions.
Write the body paragraph
The paragraphs are equally important since they carry the weight of the paper. Format clearly and concisely, and include relevant information. Also, cite information and pay attention to your sentence structure.
Write a conclusion
The conclusion summarizes the entire text and restates the thesis. Use it to tie the ends of your essay and prompt the reviewer to take specific actions.
Tips for drafting an error-free paper
Write clearly without confusing the reviewer.
Use a paragraph to discuss only one idea.
Use facts, data, and updated sources to support your topic.
Cite sources to avoid plagiarism.
Use a table of content, page number, and similar outlines to make your paper easy to read.
Proofread and edit your essay before submitting it.
Conclusion
An expository essay allows you to convey information without personal opinion. Unlike other essays, success depends on how well you describe the information. Therefore, you must be clear and detailed. There are different types of expository papers. As a result, pay attention to the requirements before starting. Follow the tips above, and you will submit an A-grade expository paper.
Learners are actively engaged in individual studying. It is a continuation and deepening of the education process. The performance of such works allows students to explore the material more in-depth and creatively. Each creator has been involved in writing different research papers over the years, and it’s difficult to compare them. A person looks at an individual case and situation depending on the goals of the material. Moreover, such a research paper acquires skills of analytical comprehension of the obtained results.
What Is a Research Paper?
Many experts are trying to define this concept. In simple words, it is a specialist’s work describing the results of a human study with the use of specialized scientific methods. Not every student understands and distinguishes this category. Because of weak ideas and misunderstandings of the rules for preparing each of them, errors occur, provoking a decrease in the final mark, causing improvements, etc. In recent years, it has become possible to find essay examples or buy research paper online for those who are not confident in their abilities or do not have time to prepare such a serious document. It must necessarily present the relevance of the paper, goals, objectives, and the essence of innovation-stated ideas.
By publishing their works, the researchers secure the copyright to this or that idea. The ultimate goal of any scientific publication is to benefit a reader, so it is necessary to target your material to a specific audience. College students and not only them try to make their achievements more analytical and argumentative. Of course, the topic of your research may already be discussed and covered by others, but it will have distinctive features. This can be a big discovery or a tiny nuance that will distinguish your results from others. Otherwise, the work will lose its scientific value and may even be considered plagiarism.
Different Types of Research Article
Today, researchers distinguish several different types of writing. Many people compare them from various sides. Anyone can discover a lot of findings throughout the preparation of the material. If necessary, you should not be afraid to resort to the help of a qualified writing service. There are experienced and knowledgeable professionals who do everything according to the required standards and regulations. Let’s take a closer look at the different categories of work.
#1. Argumentative Papers
Such an assignment may not be suitable for everyone. If you doubt you can handle it, there is always a chance to purchase material from a specialist. But in general, argumentative papers are one of the most popular tasks that learners encounter during their education. There is a structure: an introduction, the main part, and a conclusion. Also, in such a piece, you study and analyze the problem and give arguments supporting or completely denying the statement. It seems like nothing is difficult. But if you write something in contrast, you can go down the wrong path.
#2. Analytical Papers
The analytical articles should look like a small study containing information materials and facts on the issue, expert analysis, and conclusions are drawn. Such material should be based on representative facts and truthful data. It is important to support the theoretical framework with tables, charts, diagrams, photos, videos, graphs, and illustrations. This gives validity to your study and inspires the trust of readers. Researchers demonstrate their knowledge and skills in this type of writing, just as they do in a professional essay. Therefore, adhering to the right structure and approach to preparing a complete material is important.
#3. Cause and Effect Papers
It is one of the first tasks that university learners face. They help track possible and potential outcomes. Take into account the answers to the questions:
“Why?”.
“What?”.
They reflect effects and causes. There are many types of research papers, and this is one of the most popular. The causal work aspects help you improve your knowledge in various studies. A typical structure describes a situation, presents consequences and reasons, and then draws final results.
#4. Problem-Solution Papers
It is a research paper that describes an issue and discusses possible solutions to that context. The main focus of such problem-solving writing usually consists of either argument in favor of a specific solution to the trouble or strong sides of an urgent need to solve the issue. Like most essays, such material should contain an introduction, a thesis statement, the main body, and a final part.
#5. Experimental Papers
It is one of the types of research papers in demand among students. In contrast to other variations, this direction has the advantage of an experiment. It occupies a leading place among the methods of scientific experience and often performs the function of a criterion for the truth of knowledge in general.

SMS marketing or business text messaging marketing involves sending messages to clients or users in order to promote your services and products. An opt-in marketing form, SMS marketing requires people to subscribe to your messages in order for you to be able to target them using messages. If you wonder how SMS marketing can benefit your business and how to create effective SMS offers, here’s all that you need to know.
Why Should You Use SMS for Business Growth?
It is easy for a customer to completely forget about your brand once they have purchased a product from you. One of the easiest ways to ensure your clients remember your brand is through SMS marketing. As people use their smartphones and check their messages regularly, it is easier to target them using offers and discounts and expect them to take action. Yet another advantage of SMS marketing is that it is very easy to integrate it with other marketing strategies and emphasize your campaigns. Being a versatile marketing mechanism will multifaceted benefits, SMS marketing is also very easy to implement.
7 Ways to Create SMS Offers for Better Sales
Here are some of the best ways to create SMS offers that can lead to better sales:
Identify Your Brand
It is crucial to identify your brand every time you send a message, as not all your customers or subscribers may have your number saved in their contacts. Further, they might also delete your messages after reading them. When you don’t mention the name of your brand in every text that you send, chances are high that several subscribers would have no idea who the message is from. This might nullify your attempts at marketing through SMS.
When it comes to the placement of the brand name in a text, it is best to mention your brand’s name right at the beginning of the message. This clearly informs your subscribers as to who is sending the message, making it easier for you to create an impact and accomplish your goal.
Personalized Messages
While businesses take pride in having plenty of data related to their clients and subscribers, none of it makes sense unless that data is put to use. Therefore, any additional information that you have about your clients can be utilized to create personalized messages. When you send a personalized message, it has a greater impact on the client and their buying decision.
Moreover, it makes them feel valued and builds a deeper relationship with the brand. You can personalize a message by adding the first name of your client when addressing them in the message, and you can also make use of information, such as their interests and preferences.
Start With the Deal/Offer
It is no surprise that people feel all the more motivated to shop when they’re given offers and discounts. Therefore, when you have special offers and discounts, it is best to start your message with the offer to grab the reader’s attention right away. There are several ways in which you can lead your message with the offer.
Some of the most common and effective ones are— buy one get one offers, % off discount offers, and free with purchase offers. Out of the three, buy one get one free seems to have the greatest impact, as this message clearly displays the value the buyer will derive from shopping.
Clear Redemption Instructions
The chances that your clients will redeem your offers are higher when the instructions for redemption are clear and simple. Therefore, it is best to not only provide clear and easy-to-follow instructions to your clients but also crucial that the instructions and the process are not complicated.
You can achieve this by sending your clients the code that can be entered into your website when they make the next purchase. Yet another way is by asking your clients to show the message at the store when they next visit. However, you can also use other variations and get creative as you send messages to your clients.
Add Expiry Date
One of the most effective ways to ensure your clients do their bit to redeem an offer is by clearly stating when the offer expires. This pushes buyers to make a quick decision, and it also adds a sense of urgency. A client who plans to use the offer and make a purchase is less likely to forget about your message and your offer when you use this trick.
Specific Targeting
While you can send as many messages to as many clients as you would want to, what makes SMS marketing effective is how well-targeted it is. Therefore, before you craft and send a message to your client, you need to first determine why exactly the client would open and read it. Specific targeting involves identifying your clients based on their preferences and needs before sending them an SMS. Simply put, a client will only read your message and act on it if they need the product that you’re advertising.
Key Takeaways
While the above-mentioned tips and tricks can help you get closer to the goal of having better sales through SMS marketing, it takes a mix and match and combinations of different factors. When marketing through SMSs, you need to be aware of the perfect timing and the right combination of words to create an impact. Further, measuring the success of your SMS marketing strategy by assessing your performance is extremely crucial to have a sense of how your strategy performs and the modifications you need to make in order to achieve your goal.
Effective SMS marketing is a combination of various factors that, when combined, have the kind of outcome that you desire. The only difference between poorly-performing SMS marketing and one that does well is how well you frame your message and how well you know your client. When done the right way, SMS marketing can significantly improve your sales while building a better relationship between your brand and your client.
For many years I have worked as a DBA focusing on Oracle Database and also dealing with some other databases, such as SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. I used several paid and free tools, but most of them did not deliver what I was looking for.
My goals were facilitating and increasing my productivity at work. I tested several tools with different functionality, and always felt the lack of some specific features until I adopted the dbForge products. Today I can say it is the set of tools I use and recommend to the most diverse professionals who work with databases, striving to perform all tasks with one solution and save resources.
Even using dbForge Studios for Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server separately does not complicate the tasks. The interface of all these products is standardized, thus reducing the adaptation time. Just have a look at the screens of the Studios for different database technologies:
I like its simple and clean interface. You can use seven themes – Visual Studio (blue, light, and dark) and Office (Office 2013, Office 2013 Dark Gray, and Office 2013 Light Grey). These themes are all very light and beautiful. I prefer the blue Visual Studio theme.
The article focuses on dbForge Studio for Oracle – a GUI for Oracle database that I have been using since 2020.
dbForge Studio for Oracle is available in four editions: a free Express Edition with basic functionality and three paid editions – Standard, Professional and Enterprise. Evaluate the list of inbuilt features and choose the edition that meets your requirements best, just clicking here to download dbForge Studio for Oracle and try it free for 30 days.
When connecting to databases, you can fill in the data and segment it by color according to each access type. For instance, it can be red for production, green for development, or yellow for the test environment. Or, we can create a category with the color we want.
It is simple, but it helps to quickly identify each environment, avoiding errors when connecting to the wrong one. When you click the “Test Connection” button, it will validate access, the database version, and display the edition information on the screen.
Here I am creating a connection with the “Production” category in red:
Testing the database access and viewing all schematics:
And getting the initial screen of the tool with the main functionalities:
In the session manager, we can view the summary or all sessions related to the database, queries executed, session origin, enable trace, and end sessions, – everything we usually do via terminal using sqlplus. dbForge Studio for Oracle makes it quick and simple. You won’t need to search for scripts to extract and view information, and facilitate the daily activity of monitoring and ending sessions.
Now, let us review the most helpful tools included in the set of dbForge Studio for Oracle.
Security Manager. Controlling server security entails working with user accounts as well as managing access rights and privileges. This Oracle administration tool lets you create new user accounts and roles, update existing ones, or delete them at the global or object level. Within the account, you can grant and revoke privileges, and manipulate roles and profiles.
The dbForge Security Manager can work with multiple accounts simultaneously, check permissions, tablespace quota, roles, creation date, block, unlock, and add role schemes, and check objects and their permissions in detail.
Schema expdp and impdp – it is one of the simplest activities that every Oracle DBA is used to. Usually, the developer requests updating for the testing or approval environment, and we would connect to the database server via SSH and run the expdp and impdp utilities in the terminal. dbForge Studio for Oracle allows us to do it simply and implement several required features including compression.
Migration or import of data in different formats, such as JSON, text, CSV, Excel, Access, XML, etc.
PL/SQL coding assistant – the best support for query writing. It knows all the schemas, tables, columns, and keys. You don’t need to check or remember all the tables or objects existing in databases.
This functionality is essential for database developers, BI analysts, system analysts, or database administrators – anyone who needs to produce high-quality queries. The below screen demonstrates a simple query with tables and column data types:
Results in the grid. We can generate SQL scripts, apply filters, export data, generate reports, copy data to CSV, XML, HTML, and JSON formats, paginate the results, etc.
The following screen demonstrates the query results and informs about the execution time, production type connection (in red), the IP address, schema, and type of information format projected in data.
Execution plangeneration. Not every professional who works with Oracle is a DBA. Many developers or system analysts need to evaluate the execution plan to verify query performance before actually running it. This functionality is available in dbForge Studio for Oracle – it only takes a few mouse clicks.
The screen shows the query execution plan in DBA_OBJECTS – you can see how much information it delivers. You won’t need to connect via SSH using the sqlplus text formatting.
Documentation. We all know how important but tedious it is to document procedures or databases. It is especially complicated when we are not yet familiar with the environment. dbForge Studio for Oracle generates the database documentation simply. It reports all objects that make up the database and exports the results to PDF. You can generate detailed documents in a few clicks.
Here we generate the DBSNMP schema documentation with all objects:
Schema and data comparison. This feature I like most about dbForge Studio for Oracle. I always use it to compare development, approval, and QA environments. Never worked with a tool as practical, simple, and accurate as dbForge Studio for Oracle.
See the screens where I compare the USR_SOURCE and USR_TARGET schemas. The TB_EMPLOYEE table does not exist in one schema. The Studio generates the DDL to synchronize them manually or automatically.
Besides comparing databases, tables, or any object in a granular way, it allows us to generate documentation that differs between environments. Whenever a developer forgets to apply or leaves the DEV and HML environments the same in development, I turn to this option. Otherwise, it would be unfeasible to analyze all objects and their source codes one by one in all databases or schemas.
Report generation for the environment comparison in HTML format. We often lose control over the creation and modification of databases during a system update. If problems occur, we are blind without knowing the previous state of objects. I always suggest using this tool to document all objects before the update or migration.
After the update’s successful completion (or failure), we can detect which objects could be affected at once. The report contains details of objects and actions in the comparison. You can see the complete information about the synchronized objects in the source and destination. Check the added, removed, and modified entities.
Search for objects. This feature makes life easier for all database developers and users. The usual way to query DBA_OBJECTS becomes simpler. With dbForge Studio for Oracle, we can search for any object in a specific schema or the whole database visualizing the content of each object.
The screen shows the search results for the TB_EMPLOYEE table in the USR_SOURCE and USR_TARGE schemas. It provides details about the object name, owner, schema, object type, and DDL.
Checking for invalid objects. This functionality lets us view invalid objects to compile, correct them, or document the environment. There is also an option to export to CSV:
Oracle PL/SQL Debugger. This feature allows you to debug PL/SQL code step by step effectively. You can use various Oracle PL/SQL debugging techniques, such as setting breakpoints, viewing clocks, examining the call stack, and evaluating the variables.
It helps us identify and eliminate runtime code bugs and prevents developers from developing complicated and error-prone applications. This Oracle PL/SQL Debugger lets you easily control the flow of the debugging process.
In conclusion, these features are the most favored for me. I use them all the time to reach the goals I described in the beginning. They help me work productively and save my energy to achieve more.
Besides, there are lots of options ensuring great flexibility of work. You can adjust all processes for your needs and environments and automate routine tasks.
The only downside is the price of the license, mainly for the Brazilian market where the dollar is still very high.

The gaming industry is always in the process of evolving, and one of the latest changes centers around the potential of Web3 technologies.
Developers, publishers and creatives have an unrivaled opportunity to get in on the ground floor with this emerging ecosystem, but what is so exciting about this intriguing new era we’re entering right now?
Web3 gaming is an exciting new development in the world of blockchain tech. It offers gamers a unique chance to explore the benefits of decentralized gaming platforms, sitting parallel to other decentralized apps.
Most significantly, it offers up a secure, transparent, and immutable gaming environment, allowing players to interact with each other and the game in a trustless way, and minimizing common threats.
It can even be built on top of existing games, and give players access to new features without developers needing to start from scratch. All of these features are powered by the security of blockchain technology, and make web3 gaming a truly revolutionary experience.
Differentiating Between Traditional and Blockchain Gaming
Traditional gaming platforms often rely on centralized servers, which can create potential security risks and single points of failure. Web3 gaming, however, utilizes the blockchain to embrace a decentralized approach which is safer and more robust.
This means that the entire gaming experience is both more resilient and transparent for players. Additionally, web3 games are able to leverage non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for in-game assets that can be bought, sold or traded securely without relying on third parties. With these features combined, web3 gaming offers an unparalleled level of trust and security compared to incumbent, established platforms and API frameworks.
Leveraging the Power of Non-Fungible Tokens in Web3 Games
One thing which many agencies that offer web3 games growth marketing like Upptic focus on when assisting clients is the potential represented by NFTs.
They can be used to put together unique and engaging web3 games, since developers are able to create digital assets that can be bought, sold or traded by players in an ecosystem that’s entirely outside of the control of any one party. This allows players to truly own their in-game items, which in turn delivers a more immersive game experience.
It also enables developers to monetize their games by allowing players to purchase and trade rare items. As such, all of these features make NFTs an essential part of any web3 gaming experience.
Unlocking the Potential of Decentralized Gaming Networks
Decentralized gaming networks are another key component of web3 gaming. These networks provide a secure, transparent, and immutable infrastructure for developers to create games that leverage the power of the blockchain.
Developers can use these networks to allow players to interact with each other and the game in a trustless way. This frees them from many of the concerns and complexities that come with hosting central servers to keep a game’s infrastructure up and running over time.
The Future of Web3 Gaming and the Benefits to Developers
Web3 gaming is still in its early stages, but it’s clear that it has tremendous potential. With the right tools and technologies, developers are in a prime position to capitalize on the broader blockchain movement.
That said, the volatility of crypto assets and the backlash against NFTs in recent months might give some cause to pause and take stock before diving in headfirst.
Wrapping up
At the moment web3 tech is being adopted gradually across the industry, and the extent of its impact on gaming remains to be seen.
Nevertheless, it’s a revolution which won’t stop any time soon, so those looking to future proof their gaming project and their careers need to take notice.
Two decades ago, software was a preserve of big tech, and no one thought it would turn out to be anything like it is today. Today there are countless options for software for almost every activity you can think of.
According to statistics, the software industry will be worth $737 billion in 2023. With such high figures, this field is quite competitive, creating the need for unique designs to help a developer stand out.
As a result, registering for industrial design rights is always on the mind of every software developer.
Industrial design refers to the aesthetics of an item, such as shape, contour, texture, patterns, etc. Creating unique product designs can be time and money intensive, and you do not want to have another profit from your hard work.
Luckily you can keep others from profiting off your designs by registering them as part of your intellectual properties.
A unique design also ensures that your products stand out from the competition and are easily recognizable by potential customers. According to a study by CIPO, firms that invest in creating and registering unique designs have a 16% higher revenue per employee than those that do not.
If you want to get a deeper understanding of industrial design rights, HeerLaw explains it in detail, so you may want to check out their website.
Industrial Design Rights Application for Software Designs
IP laws existed long before software became a thing. As a result, laws in many jurisdictions never envisioned a situation where digital assets or products would require industrial design protections. However, different countries, including Canada, have had to amend their IP laws to include software designs under the industrial design bracket.
Some aspects of the software that may qualify for protection under industrial design rights include its graphic user interfaces, graphical symbols, and screen layouts. It’s important to understand that this protection only covers the visual aspects of the software. If you wish to get protection for the functional aspects of the software, you should consider patent protection.
What Is a Patent
A patent is a legal document granting an inventor or their exclusive organization rights to an invention or process for a limited period. Governments grant patents upon registration and give inventors the exclusive right to profit from their creations. However, the inventor can sell their patent rights to other organizations.
An invention must be first in the world, helpful, and non-obvious to be eligible for patent registration. Additionally, the invention must be described in detail in the patent application and must be able to be reproduced or used in some way. Finally, the invention must be in a field of technology that is eligible for patent protection.
Due to the limitation of IP laws regarding software and other digital assets, software patentability is unclear. The reason for the confusion is the fact that the lines of code used to create the software are not patentable.
As a result, many people get the impression that software solutions are not patentable. However, code and the functional aspects of the software are two distinct things, with the latter being patentable.
Other IP Protections for Your Software Design
Industrial designs and patents run for a limited period. In Canada, industrial design protections lapse after ten years, while patents expire after 20 years, leaving you vulnerable to copycats. Thankfully other protections, such as copyright and trademark, can help ensure that you retain significant control of your creations for a lifetime and beyond.
Copyright protections cover all original works of art such as drawings, songs, videos, poems, books, computer programs, android and IOS apps, and webpages. They apply by default to the software creator, but registering them helps make enforcement much easier. In Canada, copyright protections last for the creator’s lifetime and 50 years after their passing.
Trademarks are also essential IP rights that apply to your software design. It covers software identifiers such as names, logos, graphics, slogans, and any visual aspect that distinguishes your product from its competition. Trademarks last for ten years, renewable upon the payment of renewal fees.
Whether you are just starting out in your field or are a company that has been around for years, creating a strong brand is vital for the continuance, longevity, and overall success of your business. To put it simply, your brand is your company’s distinct identity. It allows you to target your consumers and your audience. Your brand can include your business’s mission, visual design, its logo, and tone of voice as well as other features. It also normally includes your commitment to high-quality products, and customer service and can even involve pricing your services or products. According to the American Marketing Association define as follows: “a brand is a name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller’s goods or services as distinct from those of other sellers.”
