Unuhi is now available on the App Store to download!
Almost a year in the making, we are proud and excited to release the first version of our bilingual book app for children. We have 4 wonderful books available to download, each of which is translated into 20 languages and showcased within a clean, simple and easy-to-use interface. We hope that you will find the Unuhi app a joy to use.
The name Unuhi means "to translate" in Hawaiian and our app is the first of its kind to make bilingual books available in a variety of languages. It means that as a parent or teacher, you can now introduce your child to more languages than ever before. Whilst bilingual books have always been popular in Spanish and English, for example, those languages that are less widely spoken haven't had the same opportunity to be a part of this wonderful method of story-telling and language learning.
Are you a Romanian living in Spain with a child who you would love to introduce to your native tongue? Choose Romanian & Spanish as your 2 languages – it's as simple as that. Perhaps you are English and your partner is Chinese? Why not select English & Mandarin and help your child to become bilingual with a fun short story.
Or perhaps you are a teacher and your classroom has children from a variety of different cultures & nationalities. Introduce them to the wonders of the world's different languages and use Unuhi as part of your class activities.
We offer the following 20 languages.
English, Arabic, Danish, Dutch, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin (Simplified), Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai.
What's the plan for Unuhi after launch?
First, we would love your feedback (good or bad) so that we can improve the platform. What did you like, what could be improved and what would you like to see in the future? We decided to concentrate on just 4 books to begin with and showcase them in 20 different languages rather than feature more books in fewer languages. We want Unuhi to be available to everyone and not just in those countries that speak the major global languages like English and Spanish.
We will of course be expanding our library of books as soon as possible and plan to introduce sound, animation and interactivity in the near future. If you are an author or illustrator and would like to join our team, we would be delighted to hear from you. Simply visit the help centre to say hello and introduce yourself.
Here at Unuhi, we are working hard behind the scenes to ensure our platform is the go-to place to read bilingual books to your children. We hope you give Unuhi a try, download the app and let us know how you get on.


The upcoming 2013 Malibu loses some of its bulk--so if you're shopping for a nearly full-size sedan, the 2012 model is a better bet.
It's one of GM's best-executed products of the past few years, and even in its final year on sale, the 2012 Chevy Malibu still ranks highly for its spacious cabin, smooth performance and handsome silhouette.
GM introduced the current Chevy Malibu in 2008, and since then, the big family sedan hasn't changed much. It hasn't had to: the Malibu emerged as one of GM's best-executed products in a long time, and with just minor updates, it's more than held its own against new generations of the Accord, Camry, Altima, Sonata, Optima and Fusion. Just ahead of a new, smaller sedan arriving next model year, the 2012 Malibu delivers quality and refinement in an affordable four-door package.
It may not be daring, but the Malibu has a nicely underplayed look that's handsome, inside and out. Clean-cut might be the best way to describe the sheetmetal. The split grille and blunt nose have a smooth, clean look that trails down the doors to a semi-stubby rear end with taillights highlighted by round lamps, like those found on the Corvette. The takeaway is subtle, clean--still a refreshing change from some of the more dramatic, overwrought shapes on the market today, maybe better even than the replacement coming next year. The cabin's sedate and attractive, too, with a straightforward layout of controls, efficient design, and quite a good level of material quality and fit and finish. In that way, this Malibu was the sign of change at GM from the drab car that preceded it.
The Malibu still comes in four- and six-cylinder form, while smaller family sedans have moved to all-four-cylinder lineups. Here, the base powerplant is fairly competitive: it's a 2.4-liter four-cylinder teamed to a six-speed automatic, for a total of 169 horsepower and an EPA gas-mileage rating of 22/33 mpg. That's competitive with the Fusion, but a few digits off the 35-mpg highway figures pegged by the Sonata and Optima. It's quick enough for most uses, and neatly avoids a rental-car feel with very smooth power delivery. GM's potent 3.6-liter V-6 remains an option; its 252 horsepower provide a lot of refinement and kick for more demanding drivers, but its fuel economy numbers of 17/26 mpg are unimpressive. Neither Malibu feels very sporty, in any case, with perfectly predictable ride and handling motions that veer sharply away from the likes of the crisp-steering Fusion and Altima. The Malibu clearly puts the bias on practicality and refinement, with just a hint of driving enjoyment.
Sports-car reflexes in family sedans matter less than big interior room and supportive seats, and those the Malibu has all over smaller rivals. It's spacious, and though the seats could use just a little more lateral support, the Malibu is one of the larger cars in its class, up there with the Sonata, just shy of the Honda Accord and the latest Volkswagen Passat. The front seats are among the most comfortable in the mid-size sedan class, while the back bench has more legroom than most of its rivals, except for the Accord and that huge new Passat. Trunk space is usefully large, at 15.1 cubic feet.
Safety is another strong suit of the current Malibu. All models have standard traction and stability control paired with anti-lock brakes, as well as dual front, side and curtain airbags. OnStar telematics is installed in each one. And crash-test scores put the Malibu near the top of the large sedan class, with a Top Safety Pick from the IIHS, and four stars overall from the NHTSA.
The Malibu's features list has fallen behind the competition, as it's aged. All versions--base LS, mid-range LT, and luxury LTZ--have standard power windows, locks and mirrors; keyless entry; steering-wheel audio controls; and climate control. On the LTZ, features like remote start, LED taillamps and ambient lighting are standard. Bluetooth's an option, though (it's standard on the Korean sedans), and the Malibu lacks any option for resident hard-drive navigation--GM suggests you call OnStar for turn-by-turn voice instructions, a method we've tried and found less reliable than on-board mapping.
Inside and out, the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu is conservatively styled yet handsome.
The 2012 Chevrolet Malibu may not be daring, but it has a nicely underplayed look that's handsome, inside and out.
With the current generation of the car introduced in 2008, the Malibu has been on sale several years without major design changes, yet it remains one of the most handsome options in the class. Clean-cut might be the best way to describe its sheetmetal. The split grille and blunt nose have a smooth, clean look that trails down the doors to a semi-stubby rear end with taillights highlighted by round lamps, like those found on the Corvette. The takeaway is subtle, clean--a simple, honest design compared to the other more dramatic, overwrought shapes being sold today, maybe better even than the replacement coming next year.
Inside, the two-tone theme and high interior quality set a benchmark in appointments and design. The Malibu was one of the first signs of change in GM interiors, compared to the drab cabins of just a few years ago.
Driving enjoyment really isn't part of the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu's mission--although those with few performance expectations could be pleasantly surprised.
Refined comfort is the clear priority over outright performance in the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu, but its fundamentals won't disappoint most families. The 2012 Malibu handles well enough in everyday driving, and its available V-6 delivers strong acceleration.
But even with the V-6, the Malibu doesn't even try to play the part of a performance machine. V-6 models do however come with hydraulic power steering that we've found to have much better feedback than the fuel-saving electric system in four-cylinder models. Across pretty much the entire lineup, comfort trumps performance in the ride and handling department; handling is predictable and confident enough, but not as crisp and responsive as the Ford Fusion or Nissan Altima.
The 2012 Chevrolet Malibu has a smooth ride, roomy interior, and tight, quiet cabin, making it one of the top mid-size sedan picks for comfort.
Sports-car reflexes in family sedans matter less than big interior room and supportive seats, and the packaging of the 2012 Malibu acknowledges that. What you get, no matter which trim, is a very well designed interior, featuring spacious seating, high-quality materials, and a comfortable, quiet ride. Trunk space is usefully large, at 15.1 cubic feet (but surprisingly, not as large as that of the smaller Cruze).
The front seats are among the most comfortable in the mid-size sedan class, while the back bench has legroom besting most of its rivals, except for the Accord and that huge new Passat. The Malibu's rear sear can accommodate three bigger-framed adults in a pinch—an ability which not all mid-sizers can claim—and the seats themselves feature adult-sized contouring. About the only thing we wish for is a bit more lateral support for the front seats; you'll be sliding around a bit in the corners.
Back when the current Malibu was introduced, five years ago, it earned plenty of kudos for the look and feel of its cabin materials. Even today they stand as impressive--especially at the more affordable end of the lineup. Upholstery, switchgear, and trims feel high-quality, and a deep center console, several smaller storage spaces, and a 110-volt rear outlet add usefulness.
Again, the 2012 Malibu delivers exactly what it promises, prioritizing refinement over sharpness and dynamics. And with a ride that's absorbent but not too firm, plus good isolation of engine and road noise thanks to specially laminated window glass, acoustic insulation, and composite liners for the wheel wells, the Malibu has one of the quieter cabins in its class. Consider that some V-6 models get lower-profile tires that might increase harshness, however.
The 2012 Chevrolet Malibu is strong in safety, and one of the better picks for security-conscious families.
Safety is another strong suit of the current Malibu. Anti-lock disc brakes, traction and stability control, and a smorgasbord of airbags are all included as standard features. The standard suite of OnStar emergency telematics services (subscription required) was last year upgraded to version 9.0, which includes a six-month trial of its Directions and Connections service with Turn-by-Turn navigation.
Crash-test ratings have been excellent overall. The 2012 Malibu carries over its top 'good' scores in all IIHS crash tests, including the new roof strength test, earning it a Top Safety Pick award. In the stricter federal tests that were phased in last year, the Malibu gets a combination of four- and five-star ratings.
The 2012 Chevrolet Malibu is looking most dated with respect to its feature and options lists, which lack connectivity and touch screens, but otherwise it's equipped well.
The Malibu's features list is respectable, but it's fallen behind the competition as it's aged, lacking high-end options now made available by segment rivals.
The Malibu lineup consists of three models: the base LS, mid-range LT, and luxury-packed LTZ. Within those trims their are numbered subtrims in somewhat confusing codes such as 2LT and 3LT. The base LS comes with enough goodies to suit most drivers, including power accessories, keyless entry, and steering-wheel-mounted controls all fitted as standard. Splurge a little extra for the range-topping LTZ and you get a whole assortment of extra features such as remote start, automatic climate control, and a universal remote, plus a number of appearance extras like LED tail lamps and ambient interior lighting.
Last year some of the Malibu lineup got new wheels—including 17-inch bright-finish alloy wheels on the 1LT and Chrome Tech alloys with the 2LT. Now for 2012, the Malibu gets a few more feature changes, including a new Sunroof and Convenience Package for the 1LT that adds a power sunroof, a power driver's seat, Bluetooth, and a 110-volt power outlet. Bluetooth isn't standard, but it can also be added via the new LS Uplevel Package.
Otherwise, the Malibu's sound systems feel somewhat dated, as they lack some of the connectivity features that we've come to expect in this class. USB input is only available in top LTZ models. Also, other than the OnStar-based navigation, there remains no screen-based nav option on the Malibu.
The four-cylinder version of the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu is quite efficient and green, considering its interior space and comfort.
Between both of the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu's available engines, the four-cylinder is the obvious pick for those who want to make greener choices. The V-6 Malibu's unimpressive 17 mpg city and 26 mpg highway fuel economy is countered by the economical four-cylinder model at 22 city and 33 highway. That's due in part to a more efficient six-speed automatic now mated to the smaller engine, which sports a taller top gear.
The Malibu is flex-fuel-capable, too. Just keep in mind that on E85 (85 percent ethanol), it's only rated at 15/23 mpg.
Relative to its class as a whole, the Malibu isn't one of the top achievers, though. Several models, such as the Hyundai Sonata, meet or exceed 35 mpg on the highway, and the Ford Fusion Hybrid and Toyota Camry Hybrid are even better.
Don't buy. It's nothing but trouble.
This car has been giving me a lot of problems. I would not been buying another one.
Great Car for a family.

Quotes of the Day 1 comment
Bill Maher "Republicans have created this completely fictional President. His name is Barack X and he's an Islamo-Socialist revolutionary who's coming for your guns, raising your taxes, slashing the military, apologizing to other countries and taking his cues from Europe, or worse yet, Saul Alinski. And this is how politics has changed. You used to have to run against an actual candidate, but now you just recreate him inside the bubble, and run against your new fictional candidate. That's how Bush won in 2004, by running against John Kerry, a French war criminal. And speaking of Bush, I know conservatives are saying, oh Bill, Democrats did the same thing to him. No. Say what you will about the lefts hatred of Bush, at least we were hating on the real guy. We didn't invent a bogeyman who tanked the economy, took us to war on false pretenses, and tortured prisoners. That was the actual guy. But, run down the list of complaints about fantasy Obama:
He wants to raise your taxes, even though he's lowered them, confiscate your guns, even though he's never mentioned it, and read terrorists their rights, yea, like he did Tuesday in Somalia. And look at what Newt Gingrich said about him this month:
Newt Gingrich at Fox debate "It tells you everything you need to know about the difference between Barack Obama and the five of us, that we actually think work is good."
Maher "Yes, Obama is anti-work. You remember the bill he championed, the grab a Corona and call in sick act. You see, the difference is the Republicans hatred of Obama is based on paranoid feelings about what he might do, what he's thinking, what he secretly wants to change. Anger with Bush was based on what he actually did. What Bush was thinking didn't matter, 'cause he wasn't."
Richard (RJ) Eskow, Op-Ed: "The GOP presidential candidates continue to play their parts in an implausible story of a world that could never exist, acting out nonexistent conflicts while delivering dialog that insults the intelligence. That's not because they're stupid. It's because they think you are.
It's like watching a low budget science-fiction movie from the fifties: Dr. Strange vs. The Vulture in the Caverns of the Moon. It's badly executed, even by the low standards of its genre, complete with cheap sets, bad special effects and wooden acting.
They're counting on their audience to provide that state of mind which literature professors call 'the willing suspension of disbelief'. Three of the candidates are selling an nearly identical story of hardy earth people who are only able to save their planet once they've been freed from taxes and regulation. The fourth, Ron Paul, is offering a different script, a 10,000 years BC scenario of unparalleled economic savagery."

Vedora live at Radio Bean Friday January 27, 2012 3 comments
Rocking out at Radio Bean
It was a slushy rainy evening, and I was finally able to see Caroline O'Connor and Matt Hastings trade the acoustic guitars for a little rock and roll. Work ended at 6 which was plenty of time to go home and hang out for a bit. I was ready to head out at 8:30, at the same time Mike was heading downtown, so off we walked, me towards Radio Bean, and Mike towards the Other Place.
It was crowded when I walked in, but not packed. It looked like the previous band was in the final stage of loading out and Vedora were setting up. Caroline grabbed the bass, Matt the guitar, and Jeff LaBossiere sat behind the kit. Soon enough they started in, The first song was a bit shaky, they played it through pretty well, but weren't quite together. Up next was a Matt song. It was a pretty upbeat finger picking rocker. They weren't quite there, but were improving. I spent most of the next song getting another drink, but it sounded pretty good. It was a Caroline song, so it had that nice cool mood. Her voice was strong like always. The band were starting to sound good. All night the drumming had been pretty fervent, now that they were locking in, it was getting fun.
Up next was another bouncy, driving, rocking Matt song. It was pretty fun, but paled compared to what was to come. Caroline introduced a song called Dragnet. It started slow, but had a nice build to it. Not a real obvious build, but when you rock back and forth with the music and start to feel where it's going to go, it just felt like it was going to explode. It did. I thought they might go for a full out towering over the world rock chorus, but they took the intensity of it into a more Crimson vein. It was fantastic and they sounded wonderful playing it.
They took a bit of a Spanish theme for a song and followed up with another fast Matt rocker. It was a jumping good time. Tonight was the first time I've seen Matt play electric, and all night long he had some pretty sweet leads. Caroline then set down the bass, picked up the guitar, and the band played a very cool version of Once Upon. I have always love hearing her play that on acoustic, and having a band wrap itself around it was a treat. Caroline's voice was sultry. Matt's guitar was searing and sultry, the song just oozed with beauty. I was sure they would do that one and could not be happier with the way it was played out.
They closed with another song I don't know called Terrarium. It was a pretty cool song with lots nice rocking guitar. I need to get to know this song better. That was the last song on the setlist and they got ready to pack up, but the audience wanted more. They pulled out another classic that they always do called Mary and Johnny. It's an old Osange Orange song. Again, I was used to Matt and Caroline playing it on acoustics, but tonight played on electrics, with Jeff happily driving it on, it was clear how much fun this band can be. I'm so glad I went!

Bill Maher "How about that Seal Team Six? They did it again this week. Wow, these guys, same guys who got Bin Laden. There was a hostage situation in Somalia, the most dangerous country in the world. They jumped out of a plane at high altitude, parachuted down, rescued the hostages, and then quickly, methodically killed all of the pirates. A story, by the way, that Obama recounted to Jan Brewer (Gov-R-AZ) on the tarmac, and then said now stick your finger in my face one more time."
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has called on the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) to refer Mitt Romney to the Department of Justice for having filled an inaccurate campaign disclosure form last year.
In a letter (pdf) sent on Friday to the acting director of the OGE, the watchdog group stated, "The 2010 tax return Mr. Romney released earlier this week includes numerous assets not included on the personal financial disclosure form Mr. Romney filed in August 2011. … According to OGE's website, 'when ethics officials find evidence that an employee has violated an ethics criminal statute or regulation, they must refer that evidence to the appropriate authority for action.'"
Romney's tax return included income from at least 23 funds and partnerships that were not cited in the campaign disclosure form, including interest income from a Swiss bank account and shares in offshore companies located in the Cayman Islands and elsewhere.
A Romney spokesman has described the errors as "trivial" and "inadvertent," but CREW finds that explanation unsatisfactory.
"Mr. Romney says the errors are minor, but then again he also claims earning $374,000 in speaking fees isn't much money," CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan stated. "In reality, filing an inaccurate disclosure form can be a criminal offense. As a result, the Office of Government Ethics should forward the matter on to the Department of Justice to determine whether Mr. Romney deliberately withheld information."

Jon Stewart "So what exactly are we supposed to do with a moon base?"
Newt Gingrich "When we have 13,000 Americans living on the moon, they can petition to become a state."
Stewart "13,000? That's not a state, that's like a condo development. That's not a state. You want to be a condo developer on the moon. You want to be a lunar Trump. And, may I say this, like Earth Trump, you will not be President."
Two great days for politics in the United States Leave a comment
Wow, what a great couple of days for politics in America. The first real Republican debate gave the candidates a chance to clearly differentiate each other. It was the first one where the audience was there to listen instead of putting themselves into the debate. Great job Brian Williams!
Yesterday was the State of the Union, and Obama knocked it out of the park. If you don't know if you want to vote Democratic or Republican, over the last two days you had a chance to see exactly what you are getting. Such clarity makes the last two days some of the best two days in politics in a while.

REVEALED: The lawyer defending Anelka in 'quenelle' hearing whose clients have included Cowell and Pink Floyd... and venue is the England team hotel!
A leading QC whose clients have included Michael Jackson and Simon Cowell is representing Nicolas Anelka at the disciplinary hearing for his controversial quenelle gesture.
The hearing is being held at The Grove hotel in Hertforshire, which regularly hosts the England team before their international matches at Wembley.
Sportsmail revealed on Tuesday that the West Brown striker has been forced to pay for his own lawyer by the club.
And the man who will defend Anelka is Pushpinder Saini QC of Blackstone Chambers.
Saini took silk in 2008 and has acted for high-profile clients including Queen, Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd, Simon Cowell and Queen guitarist Brian May.
In 2009 he represented the Indian Premier League in its first prosecution of a cricketer for an anti-doping offence. Mohammed Asif was banned by the IPL Tribunal for one year following a positive sample for Nandrolone.
Anelka was charged by the Football Association after celebrating a goal against West Ham in December with a gesture that is widely-regarded as an anti-Semitic inverted Nazi salute.
The player denies the charge and stated his quenelle was 'neither anti-Semitic, nor racist' and merely a show of support for his friend Dieudonné M'bala M'bala, a controversial French comedian and the creator of the quenelle who has now been banned from performing in a number of French cities.
Anelka's actions have already been branded 'disgusting' by the French Interior Minister and the FA's case will be based on the 20-page report they requested from an appointed academic expert in racism.
The 34-year-old faces at least a five-match ban if he is found guilty, with the punishment possibly doubling given the FA's view on how serious an offence it was. A verdict, with detailed written reasons, is expected by the end of the week.
Saini will lead Tom Mountford, also of Blackstone Chambers, having been instructed by Brown Rudnick partner Neil Micklethwaite.
The FA has instructed New Park Court Chambers' Paul Greaney QC for the hearing which will continue into a second day on Wednesday.

Q: h:selectBooleanCheckbox inside rich:extendedDataTable I have a rich:extendedDataTable that shows some model. Now i need to add a new column, that will contain a checkbox in it, so, for each row of the table now i have a checkbox. The initial status of this checkbox will depend on some attribute of the current item in that row, so that´s not a problem.
The problem is that i need to fire some method or listener when any of the checkboxes is pressed, so i can refresh (server-side) the boolean status of the attribute that represent that checkbox. This must be accomplish with ajax. I don´t need to re-render anything, just to refresh the boolean attribute in the database.
I have write a checkbox listener for valuechanged, but i´m not sure if this works with ajax and, besides that, i don´t know how to retrieve the current item, i mean, the item that correspond to the row in which the checkbox was pressed. I have tried a lot of things but neither seems to work.
I really can´t have a commandButton in the new column, which would simplify things a lot in this case. It has to be a checkbox.
The backing-bean associated is session-scoped.
Thanks you and excuse my english!

A: I finally solved this by using f:ajax and f:attribute in order to pass the row item.

Headphones create sound by causing a thin and lightweight sheet of foil, "the diaphragm," within their driver to vibrate. This is done with the use of magnetic fields that move the diaphragm depending on the driver's design. Dynamic drivers are the most common configuration for both headphones and speakers. However, planar magnetic drivers are another popular configuration that offers a different and often better sound quality at the expense of energy consumption and size. Which is best for you will depend more on your listening preferences, habits, and how much you're willing to spend.
What it is: Drivers that have a magnet that pulls on a coil attached to the diaphragm, similar to speaker cones.
Who should buy it: Casual and critical listeners. They're the most common type of drivers, found in both budget and high-end headphones.
What it is: Drivers that have two magnets on either side of the diaphragm that make it vibrate.
Who should buy it: Critical listeners who want a slightly more immersive sound and don't mind having a bigger, heavier headphone. They're also a bit more expensive than dynamic ones.
We compare Dynamic and Planar magnetic headphones based on the design of the drivers, the differences they have in sound quality, as well as the level of leakage they generate. We have not reviewed any electrostatic and balanced armature headphones and cannot yet include these drivers in our comparison.
Dynamic drivers have the most simple configuration out of all the driver types. They use a small current from the audio source to generate a magnetic field in the voice coil (shown above). The coil, which is attached to the diaphragm, is then attracted to the permanent magnet when it's electrically charged. This causes the diaphragm to vibrate and emit sound waves in response to the electrical signals sent by your audio source.
Planar magnetic drivers have a similar principle to dynamic drivers. They also send electrical impulses to a conductive material "windings" that interacts with the magnetic fields within the driver. However, in this case, the windings are spread across the thin membrane of the diaphragm with two permanent magnets. This causes the diaphragm to vibrate in response to the electric signals sent by your audio source. Unfortunately, this also means the magnets have to be big enough to cover the surface area of the conductive material, which is why planar magnetic headphones are a little bigger and heavier than dynamic ones. They also consume a little more power.
Bass response describes the deep and heavy tones in your music. It represents the low-end spectrum of frequency response and ranges from 20Hz to 250Hz. How the bass response behaves is largely dependent on the driver type and size.
Results: Planar magnetic drivers typically have a better bass response with more extension to the low-end frequencies. This means they have less roll-off than high-end open, dynamic headphones of the same caliber. Planar magnetic drivers also benefit from the thinner diaphragm, which gives them a tighter bass response that reacts faster to the changes in the input signal. This gives them a punchy bass that's not overpowering, and that doesn't over-extend into the mid-range.
Dynamic headphones come in more varied driver sizes and a wide spectrum of frequency responses. They're cheaper to manufacture as they are made in much larger quantities. This gives the listeners more options to find a bass profile to suit their preferences. However, for headphones of the same caliber, planar magnetic drivers usually produce a better bass.
Soundstage describes the perceived space and environment of sound, as created by the headphones acoustics.
Results: Typical planar magnetic drivers have slightly better soundstage. The drivers are usually larger, and the entire diaphragm moves to create a planar sound wavefront instead of the focused spherical wavefront that's common for dynamic drivers. Soundstage is heavily dependent on the way sound interacts with the ear, and a focused wavefront slightly alters the way we localize sound as it enters the ear canal.
A broader wavefront gives a better representation of the stereo image, as it feels less like it's coming directly from a point source on your head and more like a wave of sound from your environment. It's a noticeable effect, but it may not be as significant, as newer closed-back planar magnetic headphones like the Oppo PM-3 also have relatively spherical divers with a focused sound wavefront. On the other hand, high-end dynamic drivers like those in the Sennheiser HD 800 S model are large enough and designed not to experience this issue.
Imaging describes the accurate reproduction of location, stereo balance, and transparency of instruments, as intended by the audio source.
Results: Dynamic drivers typically reproduce a better stereo image. Planar magnetic drivers are more difficult to manufacture and harder to match. This causes slight errors in the phase response and also small shifts in the stereo image, which somewhat changes the audio reproduction, although the effect is not very noticeable.
Planar Magnetic headphones also have more variance from unit to unit because of the complex driver design. This means your headphones will differ slightly in their audio reproduction compared to another headphone of the same model.
Distortion is the level of fidelity to the input source that the headphones are able to reproduce at higher volumes. This can add unwanted artifacts that slightly alter the frequency response of the audio.
Results: Dynamic drivers, in theory, have worse distortion than planar magnetic ones. This is due to the diaphragm only vibrating by the part attached to the voice coil, which slightly distorts its shape, especially at higher volumes. This translates into small distortions that lessen the quality of the audio reproduction, particularly with cheaper quality drivers.
On the other hand, since the magnets and the conductive material of planar magnetic drivers cover a larger surface area, almost the entire diaphragm vibrates in response to an input signal. Hence they are less likely to change the intended sound, even at higher volumes. However, based strictly on our results, the distortion values of planar headphones fluctuate a lot more. Although, overall, they're generally low.
Leakage is the sound that escapes the ear cups or earbuds. Therefore, very leaky headphones require an isolated environment to not disturb the people around you. However, leakage can sometimes be beneficial, as it helps create a more immersive listening experience.
Results: Due to the bi-directional movement of the diaphragm in planar magnetic headphones and the lack of any damping material on the back of their drivers, they tend to leak a bit more than regular open-back dynamic models. The sound is not only being pushed towards your ear canal, similar to dynamic drivers, but because there are two opposing magnetic fields, they also push a lot of sounds outwards as leakage.
This is not as big of an issue in the closed-back variation of planar magnetic headphones, as they try to limit leakage by design. However, from our test results, we've noticed considerably more leakage from planar magnetic models, especially in the higher frequencies, than dynamic headphones of the same caliber.
Dynamic Headphones: geared towards both casual and critical listeners. The drivers are easy to manufacture and therefore run the gamut from cheap yet bass-heavy drivers to high-end, well-balanced ones, like those in the Sennheiser HD 800 S. There are so many dynamic headphones that you can find a sound profile to suit specific tastes. Also, because they're easier to manufacture, they're less difficult to match. However, due to the way the drivers are designed, they tend to distort a bit more at high volumes. They also lack the slightly more immersive sound quality of planar headphones.
Planar Magnetic Headphones: usually intended for more critical listeners. The drivers are a bit more complicated to design and are typically heavier and bulkier than dynamic ones. They also consume slightly more power. However, they have a tighter, punchier bass response that's more true to the applied audio signal. They are larger, and the entire diaphragm vibrates. This means less distortion at high volumes and a planar sound wavefront that reproduces a better soundstage than dynamic ones. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of variety, as only a few companies make planar headphones.

Smart strip takes out Massey Innovator's Challenge
Eight secondary school pupils have successfully tackled one of the biggest challenges facing the world - how to cut down on food wastage - to win the inaugural Massey Innovator's Award and a $2000 University scholarship.
The students were part of the team that took out the competition with the innovative idea of using colour-changing ink on packaging to let consumers know if a food product is still safe to eat. The Inkdicator Smart Strip uses ink that changes colour, showing the packaged dry goods' increase in nitrogen as the food ages.
The competition, run by the Young Enterprise Trust and sponsored by Massey University, was held at the University's Auckland campus at the weekend. It was part of the first Entrepreneurs in Action weekend, which involved 64 of the country's brightest business-focused teens. Another 60 students will participate in a second weekend on Massey's Wellington campus on August 4th.
Each year Massey develops a challenge focused on stimulating New Zealand's economy and future prosperity to test young entrepreneurs. The University chose food innovation because of its importance to the country's economy, but also because feeding the world will become increasingly difficult in the coming decades.
"Food isn't just a way to make money or create employment. It is one of only three commodities - along with water and shelter - that every human on the planet needs to survive," says Dr. Jeff Stangl; the Massey Business School's Executive Director of Education Partnerships.
"In simple terms, the world needs more food that is sustainably produced. This year's challenge was to stop food being thrown out prematurely. We were keen to see if these young people could monetise the stretching of best before dates, therefore reducing the impact of food production on the environment, and we weren't disappointed."
Aside from the winning Inkdicator concept, other ideas pitched during the competition included apps that tracked the food in people's pantries, highlighting food that was close to expiry with suggested recipes, and smart tags in the caps of milk bottles to show how close the milk was to going off.
Good teamwork wins the day.
Year 13 Aorere College student, Ruth Tangotongo, believed her team took out the competition because of strong teamwork.
"Inkdicator was a winning idea because all of us invested belief and showed passion towards building our idea, especially when presenting it to the judges," she says.
Fellow teammate, Holly Blair from Takapuna Grammar School, said it was thrilling to win after 10 hours of hard work developing the idea and writing the business plan, before delivering a tense five-minute pitch.
"I was really nervous to pitch, so to win the challenge because of the strength of our pitch, was a very rewarding and exciting feeling."
Ashleigh Bridle, from Hauraki Plains College, said she learnt an incredible amount from the exercise and felt overwhelmed by the win.
"A key thing that I learnt, for me personally, was that it's very important that every single member if the team is on the same page to ensure that everything goes smoothly."
Dr Stangl said it is amazing to see how students develop their creative thinking and business acumen over the course of the Entrepreneurs in Action weekend.
"Massey University has been a sponsor of the event for ten years because we feel it's really important to support the innovation ecosystem in New Zealand, and these students are our next generation of entrepreneurs," he says.
All participants in Entrepreneurs in Action 2017 received a $1000 scholarship from the Massey Business School and all challenge winners received an additional $2000. In total, across both the Auckland and Wellington weekends, the Massey Business School offered a total of $192,000 in scholarships.

Zara opens the doors of its new 47,361 ft2 flagship store on 503-511 Broadway today. With an unbeatable location in the heart of Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood, one of the world's best known shopping districts, this new location on the block between Broome and Spring Streets represents some of the best late-nineteenth century retail architecture in the city.
Manhattan's newest Zara boasts three floors of retail space, ample room for showcasing everything the brand has to offer women, men and kids for Spring/Summer 2016. The store is designed entirely by Zara's architecture team, who were faced with the challenge of blending the city's past with its future. Massive effort was made to recover the building's landmark features. Its original cast iron façade, interior and brick wall, which now blends with a rationalist and airy interior that features beauty, clarity, functionality and sustainability, the guiding principles of Zara's image.
In keeping with Inditex Group's aim to have 100% eco-efficient stores by 2020, Zara SoHo sets the standards for highly demanding sustainability measures across all its processes, combining these efforts with energy efficiency and recycling in order to consume 30% less energy and 50% less water compared to a conventional store. Backed by these sustainability-oriented features, Zara SoHo has applied for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, awarded to green buildings by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a third-party organization.
The new SoHo venue, purchased by the brand in 2015, was built in 1878 by architect John B. Snook and is one of the emblematic buildings found in the area known as the SoHo Cast Iron Historic District, named for the widespread use of this material.
There are now eight stores in Manhattan, where the brand opened its first store outside of the Iberian Peninsula in 1989, after setting up shop in the city's most popular shopping destinations including Fifth Avenue, Lexington Avenue, and 34th Street. Zara also opened a new store at 222 Broadway in late 2015, taking over a new space in the heart of the city's Financial District.
From San Diego and Seattle to Houston, Honolulu and New York, Zara has opened the doors of major new stores across the US in 2015. After unveiling the new Zara SoHo, Inditex Group now has 75 stores in the country (71 Zara and 4 Massimo Dutti stores).

VIDEO: Disc-Shaped UFO Spotted From An Airplane Window
Neeraj Singh was traveling on an Air India flight from New Delhi in India and was landing at Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.
Photo by Jess Bailey Designs on Pexels.com
It's likely that passengers on airplanes see weird things in the sky, but it's not every day that someone thinks to capture it on video.
YouTube account The Hidden Underbelly 2.0 shared the video, stating the following about the upload:
"While Neeraj Singh was traveling on his Air India flight that he caught at New Delhi in India and was landing at Riyadh in Saudi Arabia he noticed this object in the distant about midway into the flight and filmed this 'Disc-Shaped' craft."
Oddly, those watching the video online resorted to praising the video, rather than trying to debunk it or refer to it as phony.
"It's sure keeping pace with the plane."
"I don't like flying as it is. I definitely don't want a UFO tracking my flight while I'm on it."
"I think it's some type of magnetic electronic spyware of material."

You are here: Home / Articles / All Dutch / Dutch Life / What makes you an Expat?
Read my story and the challenges I faced when I moved back to the Netherlands after a 10 year stint abroad.
According to Wikipedia: "An expatriate (sometimes shortened to expat) is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country other than that of the person's upbringing". Wikipedia continues to state that: "In common usage, the term is often used in the context of professionals or skilled workers sent abroad by their companies, rather than for all immigrants or migrant workers".
Born and raised in the Netherlands the first definition made me an expat when I lived in Darwin, Australia, from 1997 to 2007. According to the second definition I wasn't. I had migrated with the intention to stay for the rest of my life. Life decided differently however, but that is a different story.
I vividly remember two experiences in the first fortnight my daughter (4 at the time) and I lived in the Netherlands. One day we went to the HEMA and a lady was carrying a corkboard. One of those items that have little weight but are awkward to carry. So lo and behold she did bump my daughters head. It wasn't hard, it wasn't painful, but it was definitely more than a slight brush. My daughter looked at me with a mixture of amazement and indignation and said very loud and clear (with the angelic voice of a four year old girl): "Mummy, that lady never said excuse me!" which earned both her and myself a very foul look from the said lady.
Fast forward once more: 2014 and my daughter has become very Dutch. Her English is no longer fluent in speech (but still pretty darn good in comprehension) and has a Dutch accent. When I sneeze she no longer automatically says: "bless you" or "gezondheid". When I berated her about this once she exclaimed half exasperated: "We now live in the Netherlands, people do not have manners here", she stopped herself short of telling me to "Get used to it". As for me? Well, my (Australian) neighbour two doors down summed it up pretty nicely when she stated: "You are more bloody Australian than I am". So I ask you once again: "What makes you an expat?". Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

Q: defining a value for a list in python I am having a hive query which gets me store_front_id and count of failed records in below way
res = ['143460\t45', '143441\t477']

where the store front id is the first one followed by a tab separation and fail record count.
Now when I don't have any fail record count the value of "res" is empty.
I have store_front_list which has value like
store_front_list=['143460','143441']

and I am checking
if len(res) == 0:

Now i have to hard code the value like this
res = ['143460\t0', '143441\t0']

where it will read the store front ids from the store front list and append the 0 followed by a tab.
How do I do it.

A: So, you need your result to contain all store front IDs, regardless of whether their failure count is 0 or not. You can convert the store_front_list into a set, and remove the failed items from the set. The items that remain in the set are unfailed, and can be appended to res with a \t0 attached:
def append_unfailed(res):
    unfailed = set(store_front_list)
    for r in res:
        store_front_id, failcnt = s.split('\t')
        unfailed.discard(store_front_id)
    for store_front_id in unfailed:
        res.append('%s\t0' % store_front_id)

Behind the Rampages
by Garrett M. Graff [1]
September-October 2002 [2]
Their names—and their respective tragedies—are now a part of the American lexicon: Littleton, Colorado; Paducah, Kentucky; Jonesboro, Arkansas. The school shootings of the late 1990s came to represent everything bad about youth and American culture. The urban youth-violence epidemic of the 1980s had reached the suburban and rural heartland—no place was safe anymore. But, despite intense news coverage and consoling words from politicians, the shootings provoked little research.
Now two new studies, launched after the worst of the shootings, attempt to shed light on them—and, more important, to extract lessons for the nation and its educators. The studies, conducted by the National Research Council (NRC) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), formed the foundation for the first National Conference on Lethal School Violence, held in May at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. The CDC's report studied 220 school-related shootings from 1994 to 1999 that resulted in 253 deaths; the NRC study—its lead author is Mark H. Moore, Guggenheim professor of criminal justice policy and management at the Kennedy School of Government—focused on 35 multiple-victim incidents, mostly in rural and suburban school systems.
The researchers compared the suburban school-shooting sprees of the 1990s to an earlier wave of urban school violence that began in the 1980s. "While the inner-city epidemic of violence was fueled by well-understood causes—poverty, racial segregation, and the dynamics of the illicit drug trade—the violence in the suburban and rural schools more closely resembles 'rampage' shootings that occur in places other than schools, such as workplaces," explains the NRC report. "In the inner-city cases," the report continues, "the shooting incidents involved specific grievances between individuals that were well known in the school community. In contrast, the suburban and rural shooting incidents did not involve specific grievances. These shooters felt aggrieved, but their grievances were a more general and abstract sense of feeling attacked, rather than a specific threat by an individual.
Both studies agreed that steps could be taken to reduce the risk of a school-related shooting. The NRC researchers explain that since "rampage" shootings are so rare (affecting only 35 of the nation's 116,910 elementary and secondary schools in the last decade), preventative interventions must also serve more immediate purposes.
Although some youths' relatively easy access to guns exacerbated the problem, merely addressing America's culture of violence would not end school shootings, the researchers said. Instead, the overarching element in the shootings was a "disconnect" between students and their parents, teachers, or administrators.
In many of the cases studied, fellow students knew about the shooter's plans and, in some cases, even knew the shooter had a gun with him before the attack began. "None of these students just snapped at the end of a bad day," explained William Modzelski, director of the U.S. Department of Education's Safe and Drug-Free Schools Program. Each shooter, instead, showed signs of his plans—even, in some cases, pleading for help. But knowledge of the impending tragedy never made it to the adults in the community.
"These warnings are locally transmitted," explained Katherine Newman, Wiener professor of urban studies at the Kennedy School and dean of social science at the Radcliffe Institute, who oversaw two of the NRC case studies. Newman said that educators must build bridges and relationships with students to ensure that young people feel safe talking to adults. Adolescents and adults, she said, "live in very different worlds."
