Technology is always improving. Much like USB 2.0 became USB 3.0, and 802.11a Wi-Fi became 802.11n Wi-Fi, the standards that define how our devices work always evolve. In 2021 and beyond, the technology industry has adopted a new standard for the high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) cable. We've moved past HDMI 2.0 and now we use HDMI 2.1.
It doesn't seem like such a big deal when you look at the numbers. HDMI 2.0 vs HDMI 2.1 can't be that big a leap, right? Well, it's actually quite significant.
Despite being early days for this new HDMI standard, it's undoubtedly the future of TV. Already we're seeing popular devices such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X gaming consoles depend upon HDMI 2.1 to hit their promised experiences. This next-generation technology sends their content to your screen via an HDMI 2.1 output port, and if your TV doesn't have an HDMI 2.1 input port, you're missing out.

HDMI 2.1 frequently asked questions
When we talk about "standards" in technology, we refer to universal components that exist across all devices in a category. They are agreed upon and often funded by all the manufacturers in that category. As such, it becomes a common language that all devices in that category and even across categories, can understand.
This makes it easier for both manufacturers and consumers. Imagine a world in which your TV used one kind of Wi-Fi standard and your phone used another, then your air-conditioning used another again, and so on. It would be a mess trying to get it all to work.
By unifying technology to certain standards – HDMI, USB, 802.11, PCI-e, Android OS, etc. – manufacturers and consumers can operate with a certain confidence that the fundamentals, the basics, will work. This allows them to focus instead on innovation and use respectively.
HDMI 2.1 is the latest standard for transferring video and audio content from one device to another. It uses the same-shaped port as previous HDMI cables and as such, the HDMI 2.1 ports are backwards compatible. You can connect an HDMI 2.0 port to an HDMI 2.1 port using an HDMI cable of either standard. However, you will be bottlenecked by the transfer speed of the lesser port or the lesser cable.
HDMI 2.1 supports the wide colour gamut: BT.2020 and 16 bits per colour.
The main difference between HDMI 2.1 and HDMI 2.0 is bandwidth. This refers to the amount of information that it can transfer in any given moment. The more bandwidth a cable and its connecting ports can handle, the more content it can send and receive in any given unit of time.
HDMI 2.0 allowed for 2.25GB per second of data to be sent and received. The new HDMI 2.1 cable can deliver 6GB per second. (I've converted these from the advertised gigabit rates of 18Gbps and 48Gbps to make it easier to understand.)
In short, HDMI 2.1 is almost three times faster than HDMI 2.0. It can transfer three times more data.
What does this mean in layman's terms? The higher the quality of video and audio content, the bigger the files. With HDMI 2.0, it could handle 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. But even then, it downgrades aspects of that content to function. For example, the added data required for dynamic HDR and variable refresh rates (VRR) have to be scaled back in order to "fit" the bandwidth.
HDMI 2.1 on the other hand can deliver 4K resolution at up to 120 frames per second. It can also deliver 8K resolution at 60 frames per second and even stretch as far as 10K content in the distant future. In addition, HDMI 2.1 doesn't have to compromise dynamic HDR or VRR and can allow for additional features such as auto low latency mode (ALLM) and quick frame transport (QFT).
In addition, it can allow for full audio resolutions to be passed through to sound receivers. This is called enhanced audio return channel (eARC), which I will go into further down the page.
Gigabit (Gb) vs gigabyte (GB)
One confusing aspect in the way speeds in technology are measured is found in the little b or the big B in per second rate. A small b refers to "bit" whereas the big B refers to "byte." Most people are used to dealing with bytes. You might have a 256GB hard drive on your phone, for example. Or you may have a 16GB USB stick.
When referring to transfer speeds, the term bit is generally used. It's an entirely different metric. One gigabit is equal to 125MB. So, it's substantially less than 1GB as you'd be forgiven for thinking at first glance. Ultimately, the speed itself does matter. What matters is that relative speed to the previous technology.
For years now, TVs have had audio return channel (ARC) ports. They look like normal HDMI ports, but can be used to deliver audio from your TV to a receiver. For example, you may have a home theatre amplifier or a soundbar that you use instead of your TV's speakers.
The ARC port acts not just to pass on audio coming from the TV itself, but also acts as a pass-through for audio content coming to your TV via an external device. This could be a video games console such as the PS5 or Xbox Series X, a Blu-ray player or set-top box such as Foxtel IQ or Apple TV.
With the arrival of HDMI 2.1, the ARC feature can make use of the added bandwidth to pass on lossless higher resolution audio to your sound system. These have now become enhanced audio return channel (eARC) ports.
Yet again, it's video gaming where we are seeing the boundaries of what is possible with entertainment audio being redefined. In particular, the PlayStation 5 uses Sony's new Tempest engine to deliver 3D Audio, which creates a more immersive listening experience that provides greater detail in a game's world.
The Xbox Series X opts for Dolby Atmos as its audio solution, which is a different approach. However, it still benefits from eARC.
There are three pieces to the HDMI 2.1 puzzle, and you need all of them in place to reap the benefits. The device sending the content needs to have an HDMI 2.1 port. The display, such as a TV or monitor, needs to have an HDMI 2.1 port. And the two ports need to be connected together using an ultra high speed HDMI cable. This is also simply known as an HDMI 2.1 cable.
If any of these three puzzle pieces are missing, you'll still be able to see and hear what is going on. And it will still look and sound pretty great. However, it will be bottlenecked to the HDMI 2.0 standard. So even if your PS5 is outputting 4K at 120fps, you'll only be seeing it at 60fps and without the flourishes of features like dynamic HDR.
Most of the major TV manufacturers started including HDMI 2.1 and eARC ports from their 2020 models onwards – especially those higher-end OLED models. In 2021 and beyond, it'll be close to the standard in all the TVs you come across. It's always worth double checking a TV's specifications, of course.
If you're ready to start looking to upgrade, you can find the best smart TVs in Australia in our guide.
As we enter 2021, there isn't a whole lot of content that can make use of what HDMI 2.1 offers – unless you're a gamer, that is. If you have a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X, there is plenty of content available that displays at 8K and/or 4K at 120fps. Plus, these games offer the latest in visual and audio technology, the latter including 3D Audio and Dolby Atmos.
If you have a PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X, then you have an excuse to upgrade to an HDMI 2.1 TV. The games will look and sound a lot better, and they'll play a lot faster. However, for general entertainment, such as movies and music, content is thin on the ground. If this is your core use case, you're better off waiting until the prices of the latest model TVs have come down.
However, as a rule of thumb, if you're about to buy a new TV, make sure it's an HDMI 2.1 TV. It is the future, and making sure you have a TV with HDMI 2.1 ports will futureproof you against needing to upgrade again a few years down the track.
In this article we have consistently referenced HDMI 2.1 TVs, but of course you can also get HDMI 2.1 monitors. Indeed, the latest PC graphics cards have the power to release high resolution graphics and ultra fast framerates. Just like TVs, in order to make the most of these graphics cards you need monitors that have an HDMI 2.1 port.
The same principles that define HDMI 2.1 on TVs define HDMI 2.1 on monitors.
Thankfully there's a growing number of HDMI 2.1 monitors on the market and they're significantly cheaper than the high-end TVs. Of course, they're also smaller. But if size isn't an issue, playing your Xbox Series X or PS5 on a monitor could be an option to getting all that next-gen goodness on a budget.

Before you buy an HDMI 2.1 cable, make sure the device you're looking to hook up to your TV didn't already come with one. In most cases, you likely already have an HDMI 2.1 cable. The PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X both come with an HDMI 2.1 cable, for example. Even if you already have one, you may want to improve the quality or the length of the cable.
There are a few things to consider when choosing the right HDMI 2.1 cable.
Length: Make sure it's long enough to reach from where you plan to sit your device through to your TV or monitor. But don't over-compensate; the longer a cable, the further the data must travel and the more likely there will be some loss on that journey. This is especially the case if the cable has to go around any tight bends, which can compromise its integrity.
Active or inactive: This is only relevant for people who intend to run their HDMI 2.1 cable an excessive distance – potentially from a server or media room to another room in the house. If this is what you're going to do, you can look towards an active HDMI 2.1 cable. These include a processor that will actively help retain the integrity of the signal over a long distance.
Build: Cheap cables feel limp in your hand and have poor heads that don't seem like they are strongly connected. More expensive cables are more solid and strong in your hand, and the heads feel very securely connected. It's a sure sign that the construction of the cable is more robust and there is less likelihood of kinks in the performance.
Is your TV mounted to a wall?: If so, where are your HDMI ports? Are they rear facing, or do they face to the side? If they're both, which one will you be using? The reason we ask is because if you plan on using a rear-facing HDMI port on a wall-mounted TV, there isn't much space for your HDMI 2.1 cable to plug in. If you choose a cable with a big head and thick, inflexible cord, you may struggle to stick it into the port and bend it towards your device before it hits the wall. You may want to opt for a cable that is a bit more flexible and slighter. Otherwise, the cable will hold the TV off the wall, damage the gyprock, or both.
Speed: You'll come across three types of HDMI cable. There is standard speed (10.2 Gbps), high speed (18 Gbps) and ultra high speed (48 Gbps). For HDMI 2.1, you want to make sure you get ultra high speed.
Brand: Do you need to consider a known brand when buying an HDMI 2.1 cable? Not so much. But you do need to pay attention to what the cable is made from and the price. If it's cheap, take a good look at the specifications. The more fibre there is in the cable, and the better quality the metal in the head – such as gold-plated – the better the HDMI cable is going to perform. You can also find out if the cable itself is surrounded by durable materials such as nylon, or specifically graded for in-wall or outside conditions
As you might expect, the majority of your favourite technology-orientated stores will sell HDMI 2.1 cables. This includes JB Hi-Fi, Officeworks, The Good Guys and eBay. One of your best bets for getting good quality HDMI 2.1 cables at a reasonable price is Amazon. Amazon has the full range of HDMI cables, offering different build qualities, lengths and designs.
How much faster is HDMI 2.1 over HDMI 2.0?
It is 2.666 times faster. Where HDMI 2.0 offers 18Gbps speeds, HDMI 2.1 offers 48Gbps.
How much is 1Gbps in MB?
A single gigabit is worth 125 megabytes. Or to put it another way, 1Gbps = 125MBs.
Is HDMI 2.1 available now?
Yes, it is. HDMI 2.1 started appearing in many 2020 model smart TVs and was popularised by the arrival of the PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles in November of that year.
How does HDMI 2.1 work?
It works in the same way as previous HDMI cables and ports. It even has the same shape and is backwards compatible with old cables. It's just that the cable now has more bandwidth, and the ports can accept that increase in information.
What does bandwidth mean?
The word bandwidth refers to the amount of data that can be transferred from one device to another. Think of bandwidth as a pipe. The wider the pipe the more you can fit down it. As soon as the amount of data you're trying to get down the pipe becomes more than what the pipe can handle, you get lag. Since you don't want lag when you're gaming or watching a show, the content is scaled back to meet the size of the pipe.
What is an ultra high speed HDMI cable?
This is just another way of saying an HDMI 2.1 cable. If you're connecting two HDMI 2.1 ports using a normal HDMI cable, you're not going to get the benefits. Instead you need to use an ultra high speed HDMI 2.1 cable.
What is variable refresh rate (VRR)?
This technology allows the refresh rate of your display and your device to match up more effectively. VRR prevents screen tearing, a ghastly effect that has plagued previous generations of gaming and TV, creating smoother visuals.
What is auto low latency mode?
The auto low latency mode allows your TV to automatically adjust the way it handles lag depending on where the content is coming from. The TV can detect through the HDMI 2.1 cable that a video game console or PC with a high-end graphics card, like the RTX 3080, is being used. It will optimise the latency to improve that gaming experience.
What's dynamic HDR?
HDR is high dynamic range. It creates a broader contrast ratio, a greater brightness range, and makes the most of the wide colour gamut (WCG). The result is deeper blacks and whites, better shadows and lighting, and improved visual depth. HDMI 2.1 offers dynamic HDR capability. This means that instead of one HDR rule governing an entire piece of content, the data governing HDR can dynamically change depending on the scene. This therefore maximises HDR in each moment.
Do you need HDMI 2.1 for 4K?
No, you do not. You can get fantastic 4K results on the older HDMI 2.0 technology. For movies you'll barely see the difference between HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 2.1 when it comes to 4K at 60 frames per second. However, you do notice a big difference with gaming and sport. Here the ability for HDMI 2.1 to provide 120 frames per second really makes a difference due to the speed at which this content moves.

England name Ashes squad for Headingley Test
England's Sam Curran: Returns to squad.
YP Sportsdesk
England have named an unchanged 12-man squad for the third Ashes Test at Headingley beginning on Thursday.
The brevity of a four-day turnaround between matches meant changes to the struggling top order were always unlikely at this stage, while James Anderson is not yet considered fit after a calf injury.
That means the XI that drew a compelling, rain-affected draw at Lord's on Sunday will remain in place, joined by all-rounder Sam Curran, who will be withdrawn from Surrey's County Championship game against Hampshire.
Anderson, who pulled up after bowling just four overs in the first Test defeat at Edgbaston, is said to be "making progress".
He will play for Lancashire's second XI in a three-day match against Leicestershire on Tuesday in Liverpool and will be assessed continually leading up to his home Test at Old Trafford on September 4.
While the selectors were always likely to keep faith with their batting personnel for at least one more match, their decision was made a little easier by low scores on Sunday from Dom Sibley and Zak Crawley.
The pair are considered the best young openers in the country and could be promoted should Jason Roy's lean run continue, but Sibley got a duck for Warwickshire against Somerset on Sunday and Crawley was dismissed for just five.

Q: Recording stereo with external mic on iOS AudioKit I'm trying to integrate AudioKit into our app for audio processing. The audio comes from mic input fed into the iOS device and we have had no problems with the integrated mics on the iPhone. However, we're trying to get stereo input and so we're using an external mic that plugs into the lighting port. The mic is the Shure MV88. The input we're getting is dual mono and not stereo. Is there a setting we need to toggle or change in the code to get stereo? I've tried setting channelCount to 2 but that doesn't make a difference.
EDIT: Some code of how we're using AudioKit to capture mic input:
AKSettings.useBluetooth = true
AKSettings.bluetoothOptions = [.allowBluetoothA2DP, .allowAirPlay]

// Configure AudioKit for low latency
AKSettings.bufferLength = .medium
AKSettings.sampleRate = 16000

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi acknowledged that President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo had ordered him to handle the recurring issues of traffic congestions and road accidents for both land and air transportation during the upcoming "Mudik" or Ramadan homecoming.
"Air transport focuses on tariff issues, while land transportation is about traffic congestions and road safety," said Minister Budi on Sunday.
On the matter of suppressing the number of road accidents, the minister was visibly optimistic on being able to reduce or even eliminate traffic congestions with the existence of the new set of toll roads.
Past regulations that will be introduced again in the 2019 Ramadan homecoming is limiting the number of vehicles operating on public roads and applying speed limits, especially in toll roads.
"Especially motorcyclists, 70 percent of road accidents are from motorcycle accidents," warned the Minister.
According to the Transportation Ministry's Director General of Land Transport Budi Setiyadi, the Ramadan homecoming will commence on May 31, 2019, and will predictably see it peak on June 9, 2019.

Makeup in hot weather? No, it will slide off your face in the sun. Makeup on a cold day? No, the central heating will have it melting by midday. Make up on a normal day? You'll still have an oily nose. Basically, you probably won't want to be wearing make-up full stop, unless you're prepared to go all-out on the mattifying prep products front.
That oil is still gleaming on your T-zone several hours later. And you're left frantically applying powder in the ladies by mid-morning!
3. Beauty Articles About Cream or Gloss Makeup Products Leave You Crying With Laughter... or Just Crying!
The prospect of applying anything with a gleam to your already 'glowing' face is straight ridiculous. Thank god for matte formulations. Matte foundation, matte eyeshadow, matte lipstick. You'll bring the shine, whether it's required or not.
Or maybe they are even attempting to use your face as a mirror? Maximise your stress levels if you're eating junk food at the time. You just *know* they are wondering why someone with such oily skin would risk making it worse, right?
Because they otherwise look like blotter pads. And don't talk about mobile phones. Ever actually spoken to someone on your phone and then looked at your handset? Thank god for wipes.
Still, before you despair too much about your oily skin, remind yourself of this: skin with a high oil content also tends to age better than dry and sensitive skin. So, console yourself with the fact that you'll look younger for longer and concentrate in the meantime on applying your smartphone filters to cancel out that selfie gleam!

Map reveals number of coronavirus infections in your Hampshire postcode
Hampshire is seeing a rise in Covid-19 cases
Daniel ChipperfieldContent Editor
A new interactive map is highlighting where the latest coronavirus infections are happening by postcode.
Using information collated by Public Health England, Hampshire Live has created the function to keep you aware of the infection rate in your neighbourhood.
The map is updated daily and covers areas with populations of 7,200 or more.
It's updated each day to show the number of coronavirus cases in the most recent week. Numbers from zero to two (inclusive) are grouped to protect the identity of individuals.
Simply type in your postcode in the box below and find your ward area. Clicking on the ward will reveal more details about the infection rate.
In general the picture appears better in Hampshire than other parts of the country such as the north where there are red and amber areas of infections, denoting more than 60 infections in the last week.
However there are several areas showing the number of cases being between 3 and 32 in the county, increasingly so the closer you get to London.
Overall, like many areas, Hampshire is seeing a rise in cases.

Spring is just a few weeks away, and in addition to warmer weather and sunnier days, we can look forward to gardening. Flowers are fabulous, but why not put all that effort towards growing your own food? Follow these five tips to start a garden of your own.
Depending on your local climate, the quality of your soil, and other factors, you'll need to know what you're getting yourself into when planning a garden. A little research goes a long way when it comes to growing your own food. Don't skip this very crucial step!
Now that you know what you can grow, figure out what you want to grow? Where will you plant your garden? What parts of your yard get shade versus sun? Will you plant in containers, in the ground, or in raised beds? These are all questions you'll need to answer before getting to it!
Order your seeds, or purchase them from a reputable local gardening store. Avoid GMO seeds, and opt for organic when possible. Make sure you order your chosen seeds in time to get them planted in the recommended timeframe.
Now that you're fully prepared, get those seeds in the soil. Witnessing a seedling poke through the soil is thrilling beyond compare!
Once your seeds have sprouted, it's all about maintenance. Water, sunshine, fertilizer, and plenty of attention will make the seedlings soar. Be sure to troubleshoot any issues that may crop up, such a fungus, bugs, yellowing leaves, etc.
With a little effort, and a lot of luck, you can grow your own food. Few things are as satisfying as picking ripe produce that you started from seed. Try it and see for yourself!

3D clues show how old TB drugs could be made strong again
Published	 Thursday 21 January 2016	 Published	Thu 21 Jan 2016
New research that maps the 3D interactions of fluoroquinolones with the DNA machinery of the tuberculosis bacterium reveals clues that could help drug developers make these old anti-TB drugs more effective - even against resistant forms of the infectious lung disease.
One of the drugs tested, moxifloxacin (green), interacts with internal regions of the TB bacterium's gyrase enzyme (blues and pink) and broken DNA (orange and yellow).
Image credit: Tim Blower
Two papers on the research - both involving a team from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD - are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Quinolones - a class of commonly used broad-spectrum synthetic antibiotics - were first developed in the early 1960s. They were followed a few years later by more potent versions called fluoroquinolones - made by adding a fluorine atom to the base molecule.
All quinolones kill bacteria in the same way, by blocking an enzyme called gyrase that is essential for DNA synthesis. Without gyrase, the bacterial DNA falls apart.
But, as is happening with many classes of antibiotics, these old drugs are rapidly losing their effectiveness as drug-resistant strains of disease bacteria - including those that cause tuberculosis (TB) - increase.
However, on a more optimistic note, James Berger, first author and professor of biophysics and biophysical chemistry, says:
"Our work helps show that we need not - and indeed should not - give up on fluoroquinolones, a longtime weapon in the fight against disease-causing bacteria in general."
He says their work highlights several promising possibilities for revamping fluoroquinolones into versions that might even work against extensively drug-resistant TB.
Findings point to 'untapped potential' for revamping fluoroquinolones
Using X-ray crystallography, Prof. Berger and colleagues mapped the detailed 3D structure of the drugs interacting with gyrase in the TB bacterium and discovered clues as to why some drugs are more potent against the infectious lung disease than others.
They generated 3D atom-by-atom models of interactions between TB's gyrase and five different fluoroquinolones, including a new one called 8-methyl-moxifloxacin.
The models helped them view a "pocket" inside the enzyme that the drugs sit in and see how the drugs could potentially interact with it at two different sites.
At one of the sites inside the enzyme, the team found it is possible - in the case of the TB version of gyrase - for a protein building block to be swapped for one that makes fluoroquinolones less effective against TB.
And the researchers also found - to their surprise - that none of the drugs they tested latched onto the other site at all.
Prof. Berger says these findings point to untapped potential for creating fluoroquinolone derivatives that bind to both sites and thereby increase their interactions with gyrase.
Also, because the bacteria may develop resistance by changing one of the sites - but far less likely to do so by changing both sites - then drugs that address both sites are more likely to retain their potency, suggest the authors.
However, the biggest surprise of all came when the team discovered that the fluoroquinolone with the strongest anti-TB effect did not use the two sites at all - they exerted their power through their direct effect on DNA inside the gyrase.
Prof. Berger concludes:
"This result means the fluoroquinolones aren't working in the most straightforward way, and that's a challenge for drug developers. We have to rethink the chemistry of these drugs, but doing so will likely open up new avenues for improvements."
TB infects around a third of the world's population, and in 2013, it claimed 1.5 million lives. Nearly half a million global cases of TB are thought to be multidrug resistant.
Meanwhile, Medical News Today recently learned that some drugs already approved for the treatment of conditions such as parasite infection and cancer could be adapted into antibiotics to treat staph and tuberculosis infections.

Taiwan's CyberLink aims to bring facial recognition to US stores
Company says it will make brick-and-mortar 'relevant' again as trade war hinders rivals
MARRIAN ZHOU, Nikkei staff writer July 02, 2019 01:04 JST

NEW YORK -- Taiwanese surveillance company CyberLink plans to bring its facial recognition technology to U.S. stores in a bet that it can succeed in a market where Chinese rivals are struggling to gain a foothold.
CyberLink says its FaceMe software program -- which tracks shoppers' faces and analyzes their emotions -- can help brick-and-mortar stores offer shoppers more personalized service without compromising privacy.
Facial recognition has become a buzzword in recent years, with potential applications ranging from retail to security. But many mainland Chinese surveillance companies attempting to tap this market have come under intense scrutiny in the U.S. due to security concerns and the ongoing trade war.
Where others have found road blocks, CyberLink sees opportunity.
"Smart retail is one of the most [popular] industries at the moment because [companies] want to create a very personalized experience in brick-and-mortar stores," Richard Carriere, U.S. senior vice president of global marketing at Cyberlink, told the Nikkei Asian Review. "Tech helps them stay relevant now that a lot of people shop online."
CyberLink showed off this tech at the recent Global Beauty Tech Forum in New York. Its booth featured monitors equipped with a camera running FaceMe that analyzed visitors' faces as they approached.

"99% female, age 25-30, 38% angry" was the reading for one visitor.
Carriere explained that FaceMe can identify age, gender, facial expression, time spent in the store and returning customers without maintaining a database of customer images or personal information, because it stores facial information as vector points rather than pictures. By tracking head position and orientation, the tool can determine what the customers are looking at in the store. The program also provides a reading showing how confident it is in each element of its analysis.
In other words, FaceMe was practically certain that the tech forum visitor was female, but only 38% sure she was angry.
The system also enables retail brands to gather information on one specific store -- local customer demographics, which section or specific item in the store is popular, and how satisfied customers are when they try out a product. FaceMe can also help identify fraudsters and recognize VIP customers throughout a company's global branches.
Technology has become a magic wand for brick-and-mortar stores looking to attract millennials, the core audience for most beauty brands, according to Laurie Du, senior beauty analyst at market research company Mintel.
"Asia's younger millennials are enthusiastic about both online and offline experiences," Du said. "We're seeing a boom in pop-up stores across the region -- and in a typical setting, visitors to these pop-up stores tend to spend enough time in-store to gain the full shopping experience as well as take photos to share on social media."
Du said she has seen an increase in the integration of augmented reality makeup tools in physical stores -- a particular boon for customers who "would rather be left alone while shopping."
Before Cyberlink introduced FaceMe in Asia last September, its facial recognition technology was already used in its subsidiary Perfect Corp.'s mobile app YouCam Makeup, which has already been downloaded more than 600 million times.
The augmented reality app lets users try out a variety of products virtually, including makeup, accessories and different hair colors and styles. Users can video chat one-on-one with beauty advisers and purchase cosmetics through the app.
Perfect Corp. has brought this app experience to brick-and-mortar stores with its Magic Makeup Mirror. The device -- which looks like an iPad with lights embedded on its sides -- offers skincare analysis and allows customers to virtually try on makeup products in the store.
The tech is turning heads. French cosmetics giant Estee Lauder teamed up with Perfect Corp. two years ago, launching a campaign using the Magic Mirror called "Try 30 Lipstick Shades in 30 Seconds." The two companies have also introduced a brand-specific beauty adviser program.
With brands like Estee Lauder embracing technology, consumer attention is starting to shift back to offline channels, Mintel's Du said.
"At the end of the day, offline stores are still the perfect channel for brands to connect with consumers," Du said. "Essentially, an actual experience is not easily replaceable with photos that are found online."

Founded in 1996, CyberLink spent more than two decades developing photo and video software before venturing into facial recognition technology. Strong sales of its multimedia software and apps around the globe helped the company rake in a revenue of NT$327.33 million ($10.55 million) in the first quarter of 2019, according to its earnings report.
Seeing the success of its subsidiary Perfect Corp., Cyberlink decided to move ahead with its own system for everything "smart" -- smart retail, smart city, smart office and smart home.
Essentially, the company can customize the FaceMe program based on a client's needs and the laws of its country, Carriere said.
The company has already found partners and launched pilot retail programs in Taiwan and Japan, Carriere said, though he did not disclose the names of those partners.
Now CyberLink is "in active conversations" to come to the U.S. It is here that its Taiwanese identity could give it an advantage.
Chinese companies such surveillance equipment maker Hikvision, facial recognition startup Megvii, cybersecurity company Meiya Pico and artificial intelligence group iFlytek have come under fire for supplying to the Chinese government for its mass surveillance program of the Muslim Uighur population in the country's remote northwestern region of Xinjiang.
"Several companies that were there before us come from mainland China or Russia or some countries that have more difficulties to market," Carriere said. "Because we are Taiwanese, we can basically partner, or have been partnering, with companies around the world. [Looking at] all that together, we said, 'Let's go for it,' and it has been very successful already."
In January, Cyberlink partnered with Taiwanese digital camera company Altek to integrate FaceMe into Altek's 3D depth-sensing solutions. The integration helps prevent fraudulent facial images or videos from being incorrectly detected by smart security cameras.
A month later, Cyberlink integrated FaceMe into Taiwanese software company Syscom's Ayuda service robots, which allows the robots to identify customers and their emotions. The robots are already in use in Taiwan and Japan.
In the U.S., Cyberlink has showcased its FaceMe system at CES 2019 in Las Vegas and it is currently working toward pilot programs in America.

Nokia made some headlines today, chopping a bunch of jobs, closing factories and stuff. With sales crashing and market share continuing to slip, their reliance on Windows Phone has been a bet that has gone bad, at least so far.
What I find more interesting though is what Microsoft has gotten Nokia to inflict upon itself. It's basically investing much of it's remaining resources to turn into a Microsoft shop. Meanwhile their revenues decline, and their market valuation plunges. There was apparently talks last year about Microsoft buying Nokia outright, but they fell through. For good reason, I mean all Microsoft has to do is wait, Nokia is doing their bidding already, and making the valuation of the company even less as time goes on. From a brand name standpoint Nokia doesn't exist in the smart phone world (really), so there really isn't much to lose (other than the really good employees that may be jumping ship in the meantime - though I'm sure Nokia keeps MS aware of who is leaving so MS can contact them in the event they want to try to hire them back).
At some point barring a miracle, Nokia will get acquired. By so heavily investing itself in Microsoft technologies now, and until that acquisition happens they are naturally preparing themselves for assimilation - and at the same time making themselves less attractive to most other buyers because they are so committed to the Microsoft platform. Other buyers may come in and say we want to buy the patents or this piece or that piece. But then Microsoft can come in and offer a much higher price because all of the other parts of the company have much more value to them.
Not that I think going the Microsoft way was a mistake. All too often I see people say all Nokia had to do is embrace Android and they'd be fine. I don't agree at all here. Look at the Android market place, there are a very few select standouts, Samsung (Apple and Samsung receive 90%+ of the mobile phone profits) being the main one these days (though I believe as recently as perhaps one year ago it was HTC though they have fallen from grace as well). There's not enough to differentiate in the Android world, there are tons of handset makers, most of them are absolute crap(very cheap components, breaks easily, names you've never heard of), the tablets aren't much better.
So the point here is just being another me too supplier of Android wasn't going to cut it. To support an organization that large they needed something more extraordinary. Of course that is really hard to come up with, so they went to Microsoft. It's too bad that Nokia, like RIM and even Palm(despite me being a WebOS fan and user, the WebOS products were the only Palm-branded products I have ever owned) floundered so long before they came up with a real strategy.
HP obviously realized this as well given the HP Touchpad was originally supposed to run Android - before the Palm acquisition. Which would explain the random Touchpad showing up (from RMA) in customer's hands running Android.
Palm's time of course prematurely ran out last year (HP's original plan had a three year runway for Palm), Nokia and RIM still have a decent amount of cash on hand and it remains to be seen if they have enough time to execute on their plans. I suspect they won't, with Nokia ending up at Microsoft, and RIM I don't know. I think it would make another good MS fit primarily for the enterprise subscribers, though by the time the valuation is good enough (keeping in mind MS will acquire Nokia) there may not be enough of them left. Unless RIM breaks apart, sells the enterprise biz to someone like MS, and maintains a smaller global organization supporting users where they still have a lot of growth which seems to be in emerging markets.
Of course Nokia is not the only one making Windows Phone handsets, but at least that market is still so new (at least with the latest platform) that there was a better opportunity for them to stand out amongst the other players.
Speaking of the downfall of Nokia and RIM, there was a fascinating blog post a while back about the decline of Apple since the founder is gone now. It generated a ton of buzz, I think the person makes a lot of very good and valid points.
Now that I've written that maybe my mind can move on to something else.


Jaz and Scott got married on July 21st, 2018 on Guam, USA.
The beautiful Havana Night themed wedding is the brain child of Jasmine & Scott, who planned their wedding from California for over a year. We were so fortunate to have photographed such a beautiful, emotional wedding celebrating these two lovebirds!
Jasmine & Scott's Guam wedding is full of details and full of moments we were able to document. Their beautiful wedding was colorful!! From their choice of wedding colors (including the bridesmaid's orange dresses to the groomsmen's green tuxes and the calamansi styled wedding pins for the men in the entourage party and the bright greenery that was included in the decoration for their reception was all coordinated and planned by Jasmine and Scott.
One of the funniest part of the day was: She was crying because one of her bridesmaid described how 'handsome Scott looks' and the tears kept coming as Jasmine was munching on bread… So she did what a sensible person would do… She wiped her tears with her bread!!
Their ceremony was held at St. Anthony Catholic Church located in Tamuning, Guam. As guests were walking in and settling in, they had a violinist play at the center near the altar.
Jasmine decided that she wanted to walk with two of the most important women in her life halfway through and then given to be walk by the first man to love her before Scott to be given away. There was not a dry eye during the walk and Scott lost it when the door opened to reveal his beautiful wife-to-be.
We told Jasmine to take her time, embrace the moment and walk slow. This is a tip we constantly remind our couples. This is your wedding day. Take your time.
Towards the end of the wedding night, we snuck the couple off to take more portraits before we left… So glad we were able to get these few photos of them.
We hope you enjoy their blog!

Why Liverpool May Defeat Manchester United.
The Premier League week 9 round of fixtures sees Liverpool travel to Old Trafford to take on the inconsistent Manchester United. It's going to take everything and something really special from Manchester United to get a result against one of the best teams in European and world football right now based of current form. Analysing the past few games played by both clubs should give a clearer picture of what we are to expect by the end of the game on Sunday, and here are three reasons why Liverpool will be victorious against Manchester United.
1, Liverpool go into the game against Manchester United as the only unbeaten team in the English Premier League after five wins and three draws from their opening eight games. The belief that they can beat any team they come up against is something Liverpool have rediscovered, that same form that won them their 19th EPL trophy to leave them a trophy behind their opponent on Sunday as the most successful clubs in England.
2, Going into Sunday's fixture, United are four points behind Liverpool, having taken just one point from their last three league outings. A win for Liverpool would put them 7 points ahead of Manchester United and a huge advantage over United who are amongst the teams vying for the crown.
3, You cannot put Manchester United and clean sheets in the same sentence so far this season. Despite the fact that Manchester United completed the signing of Varane, United have kept just one clean sheet in all competitions this season and their defence will be up against the best attack so far in the premiere league.

Limoncello, Italy's Famous Lemon Liqueur: Why and Where to Try It
Making limoncello. Yum!
One of the most famous digestivi, or after-dinner drinks, in Italy, limoncello is also the pride and joy of Italy's Campania and Liguria regions. And with reason. If you've ever had a sip of this sweet, almost fluorescent-yellow liqueur (perhaps poured for you as a sign of thanks after a dinner in Italy?), you know that it's not like any other digestivo.
Limoncello: one Italian digestivo you must try!
Digestivi (or "digestifs"), taken at the end of the meal to, ostensibly, soothe the stomach, have a long history. The ancient Romans infused wine with herbs, believing that such a drink had medical, even supernatural, powers; Hippocrates indulged in bitter post-dinner drinks as a way to assist his digestion. In the Middle Ages, monks grew herbs and came up with concoctions that they thought could stave off disease — hence a phrase still applied to many digestivo labels, "anti-colerici," meaning the drink can "prevent cholera."
But it wasn't until the 19th century that such drinks became commercialized. This started in 1815, when a 24-year-old wine merchant in Milan concocted a liqueur with 33 different herbal ingredients, including rhubarb, orange peel, quinine, rose petals, and peppermint. He dubbed his amaro, which means "bitter" in Italian, the Amaro Festina Ramazzotti. It quickly made its way into the many cafes and salons opening up across Milan as prime places for a tipple. And it's still one of the most popular digestivi in Italy today.
As eyebrow-raising as the "medicinal properties" of digestivi might sound, though, Italians and visitors alike swear that they're true. And we can affirm: After a heavy meal, nothing quite takes the edge off of that "I ate way too much!" feeling as a shot-sized glass of grappa or amaro.
For the first-time visitor, though, many traditional digestivi can be a little hard to swallow. (Literally!). At 20 to 40 percent alcohol content, they're definitely strong. As if that weren't enough of a "kick," any, like Milan's traditional amaro, are on the bitter and herbal side. That they're an "acquired taste"… well, sometimes that's an understatement.
The Cinque Terre, where you can find some of Italy's best limoncello
That's where limoncello comes in.
Generally lighter than its counterparts, limoncello isn't sour or bitter. It's tangy and refreshing. It's also balanced between acidity and sweetness; while the best limoncellos don't burn your throat, neither are they sickly sweet. For those who want to try out the digestivo tradition but can't quite stomach sambuca's strong anise or amaro's bitterness, limoncello can be a tasty alternative.
Nobody can be sure where, or when, limoncello was invented. Like other liqueurs, it's likely that it was first concocted by convents or monasteries. And both Campania (particularly the Amalfi coast, Sorrento and Capri), and Liguria (home of the Cinque Terre), claim it as their own.
We know, we know, this says "don't touch" (oops!). But just look at the size of these lemons in Amalfi!
Wherever it began, the making of it is fairly simple; it just requires fantastic, fresh lemons with thick, hearty skins. These aren't the kinds of lemons you would get at your grocery store at home, but grapefruit-sized lemons with inch-thick skins that thrive in Italy's sun-soaked climate. (Check out the photo at right if you don't believe us!).
On one of our recent trips to the Cinque Terre, we picked lemons at an agriturismo while the owner explained to us how to turn them into limoncello. The traditional recipe, she said, is to take lemon rinds and infuse them with 95-percent alcohol. Leave the infusion for eight days, strain the zest, boil (lots of) sugar in water to make syrup, and stir in the alcoholic mixture; bottle it and let it stand for several days or weeks before serving.
Sounds simple. But the result? Oh, so good.
So, particularly if you're in the Cinque Terre or Amalfi coast, don't miss trying a tipple of limoncello! Better yet, get yourself to a limoncello "factory." They're scattered all over Sorrento, Amalfi and the Cinque Terre, and that's where you can not only watch the concoction be made… but sample it, for free, yourself.

Cheers Tom
Walks of Italy says:
Hi Tom, you will definitely find some great (and traditional!) limoncello in La Spezia, especially in small artisan shops around the city, as well as in the Cinque Terre. You can bring it home with you as a delicious souvenir – be sure to ask for it wrapped up to be sure the bottle doesn't break in your suitcase. Buon viaggio and let us know about your experience!

which is the best lemoncello in Italy and how much is it?
Ciao Luisa! The best limoncello comes from the regions of Campania and Liguria, ranging anywhere from 3 euros to 30 euros a bottle depending on the brand and quality. Do let us know if you have any questions!
Would you please tell me if there is a Limoncello Factory in Amalfi or Ravello that we can visit and the names of each one? Thank you!
Ciao Vickie, you will find lots of shops in Amalfi and Ravello that offer tastings of limoncello, some also offering demonstrations on how the delicious drink is made! Enjoy 🙂
Are you aware of any brands of Italian limoncello sold in the US and who imports them?
We enjoyed your Pristine Sistine tour in 2012, prior to our visit to the Amalfi Coast. It was wonderful!
Ciao Marsha! Many liquor stores in the US do sell limoncello, and we'd recommend the brands Caravella and Casoni. You can also purchase limoncello online from wine distributors (here's an example). Cheers!
angela mamaril says:
How can I order this? I live in the US?
Limoncello of various qualities is available in most liquor stores throughout the United States. If that doesn't work, it's also relatively easy to make!
Tom Sturm says:
We are staying in Vernazza this coming May. Where would you recommend we go for tasting of Limoncello? Assume all the restaurants offer Limoncello. Is all Limoncello in CT of the same quality?
The true "hometown" of Limoncello is along the Amalfi Coast, not Cinque Terre. You're sure to find Limoncello offered in every restaurant, at all qualities, but we're not sure where you could do a "tasting" of the sweet digestif.

A good landlord will want to have their property on the market for as short a time as possible and therefore will be motivated to respond to renter enquiries quickly in order to generate viewings of their property.
It is advisable to leave it at least two to three days for a landlord to respond to you after you have requested further details from them.
If you haven't heard back in a week then try to send them a message again, but if they don't respond in two to three days after you have sent the second message, it is best to move on to other properties.
