The Center for Media Engagement set out to determine what readers don't understand about the news process and to show newsrooms how they can build trust by addressing common reader concerns.
We asked readers to explain their questions about news stories and found they wanted newsrooms to do a better job of addressing four main areas:
Digging deeper into stories.
Explaining terminology.
Clarifying why certain voices were included in stories and others were left out.
Avoiding what readers perceived as journalists' biased depiction of sources.
News organizations are facing a crisis of trust with their audiences.1 Our earlier research2 shows that providing information alongside stories about how and why the stories were done can increase readers' trust of news outlets.
This study tackles the problem in a new way – by going straight to the readers and asking them to share their questions about the news. The goal of this study, supported by the American Press Institute, is to boost readers' news literacy, and, ultimately, help audiences identify and trust reliable news.3
What participants wanted to know about the news fell into four major categories. They wanted journalists to:
Dig deeper into circumstances around the news story or take a more investigative.
Explain specialized terminology.
Explain why certain sources were included while others were left out.
Guard against what the readers saw as bias, which they described as potentially cozy relationships between writer and subject.
Solutions for Newsrooms
Based on the questions raised by our focus group participants, we recommend that newsrooms:
Provide more context in stories and link to previous coverage.
Explain key terminology and government or police processes.
Include a wide range of relevant sources and thoroughly explain source choices.
Provide a statement of independence, stating lack of relationship with sources.
Place key information up-front or in a box within the story.
We conducted five focus groups in Texas. A total of 26 participants discussed their questions related to three news stories. The participants were varied in terms of gender, age, race, occupation, education, and political beliefs. Most read news frequently, but about a third of participants read news sometimes or rarely.
In all five groups, we presented participants with three articles chosen from three news organizations: one local newspaper and two newspapers with a national audience. We looked for stories that had general interest and that followed common journalistic standards but also might elicit questions from readers.
We tried to avoid the most polarizing political topics of the day, such as gun control and immigration. The articles were presented in this order:
A story in a local newspaper about a fatal bus accident where the bus driver may have been impaired by drugs.
A story in a newspaper with national reach about Wells Fargo Bank rebuilding trust after a series of financial scandals.
A story in a newspaper with national reach about California considering abandoning the death penalty.
After reading the stories, participants raised questions that fell into four categories. Each participant was assigned a pseudonym that is used here, accompanied by their accurate ages and vocations.
Can You Dig Deeper?
Participants in all five focus groups frequently questioned why the journalists didn't dig deeper into the stories. They felt the reporting seemed unfinished or superficial.
Many participants wanted the reporter to move beyond the specific news event. For example, after reading a story about Wells Fargo attempting to regain customer trust after a series of scandals, several participants felt the story failed to sufficiently investigate the scandals or link them to a wider network of similar events.
"The article is about Wells Fargo releasing their internal report and what Wells Fargo wants you to know (is what) they're doing to make things better without any depth on, is this really going to happen, or what the real issues were, or is it just a, you know, puff piece?" asked Oscar, 50, a project manager.
A comment from Liz, 52, a retail warehouse worker, captures the sentiment of several participants, "They ought to be taking them apart. They ought to be going after them like Deep Throat in Watergate."
The general takeaway is that newsrooms should attempt to fully explore all aspects of the story. This might include explaining background information, providing context beyond the facts of the latest update, and investigating deeper whenever possible.
Can You Break That Down?
Participants also wanted reporters to translate jargon and explain in more detail the procedures mentioned in the story.
After reading the story about a fatal bus crash, participants wanted to know why the bus driver was not arrested. The story reported that a police search warrant indicated she may have been impaired while driving but that she had not been charged with a crime. Participants wanted more explanation of police procedures in this story.
"The Good Samaritan that called the police, you know, and say police got there, right, why they didn't take her to jail right there?" asked JoJo, 31, unemployed.
Claire, 49, a lawyer, raised a concern about the need to explain jargon after she read the story about Wells Fargo. "And the next paragraph talks about a 'regulatory knock.' I think that's an insider term. That's not a word, that's not a term I'm familiar with. So it's a problem," she said.
In addition to explaining industry terms, newsrooms should consider detailing the processes and procedures associated with the story.
Why Did/Didn't You Include This Voice?
Participants also frequently questioned reporters' decisions to include or exclude specific voices. At times they felt the people quoted in the story seemed irrelevant while more critical voices were left out.
After reading the piece about the death penalty, Toni, 58, questioned why the newspaper included a quote from Pope Francis, "And then at the very end, just kind of popping in, 'Pope Francis weighed in on the topic.' And is that relevant?"
Participants were also vocal about the lack of inclusion of what they perceived as important voices. For example, in the bus fatality story, participants did not understand why eyewitnesses to the crash were not quoted. "It says (the bus driver) reacted to passenger warnings, but why don't they talk to the passengers? I'd like to hear a quote from the actual passengers that were there," said Trudy, 48.
In addition, this lack of inclusion was commonly associated with a perceived imbalance in the reporting that at times raised suspicion. In the story about Wells Fargo, for example, readers wondered why the bank's customers were not quoted.
"Like I wonder now if the relationship between the reporter and the bank Wells Fargo – because one thing I noticed is there's absolutely no quotes in here from anyone outside of the Wells Fargo system. Like there's no quotes from customers," said Preston, 22, a college student.
It's important for newsrooms to include a variety of voices in the story and, perhaps more importantly, to explain why certain voices were chosen and why others were left out or unavailable.
Is This Biased?
More generally, participants raised questions about what they perceived as bias in the stories. These questions centered on the journalists' motivations, possible affiliation with the subject of the story, and overall angle. As Tim, 46, a consultant, put it: "Well, I'm a news junkie. So I read a lot of news. And I'm always looking for underlying motive if there is any."
Some participants felt the story about Wells Fargo was one-sided because it focused too much on how the bank had improved. Alex, a 20-year-old college student, asked:
And how far does their history go back?… Do they have a mutually beneficial relationship? Are they consistently against each other? Based on this article, I'd assume they're actually on good terms. Because this article is pretty much saying, "Look at Wells Fargo. They're trying to improve." And it's not giving any outside perspective.
Similarly, participants questioned why the reporter for the death penalty piece included certain information like the annual number of people executed and a list of the states that execute the most prisoners. This information made Amy, 47, an office manager, feel as if the reporter wanted the reader to oppose the death penalty. "Just the research that he did, the statistics that he gave…pretty much solidified that for me… I think that he chose these statistics just more or less to sway," she said.
To guard against perceived bias, newsrooms should consider providing a statement of independence, stating a lack of relationship with story sources. Newsrooms could also clarify key information about how and why the story was reported up-front or in a box within the story.
We recruited participants for the focus groups in two ways. For the first focus group, we recruited five University of Texas students from two classes, whose professors agreed to award extra credit for participation in the study. For the remaining four focus groups, we recruited 21 non-undergraduate adults from the Austin and Dallas areas. These participants were paid $10 for their time plus $5 to reimburse them for parking fees.
In Austin, we contacted civic and political organizations, religious organizations, and other community groups.4 We approached patrons of the Austin Public Library, where the focus groups were held, and worshipers leaving Sunday church services. We posted about the study on Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and NextDoor. We also posted fliers around the Austin area, inviting people to participate.
In Dallas, we held a focus group at Literacy Instruction for Texas (LIFT), which prepares adults to take the GED high school equivalency exam. Participants at LIFT included staff members and students.
The three news stories participants read came from three news outlets chosen because they provide quality news from a mix of local and national outlets. The national outlets we chose are trusted by members of the public who rank as relatively middle-of-the-road ideologically.5
The focus groups each took about 90 minutes and were video recorded and transcribed. At each focus group, we asked participants to read each story, and then we asked a series of questions, such as "What questions did you have about the reporting or writing of this story?" We read through the transcripts multiple times to find commonalities in what participants were saying.

Q: Blazor WebAssembly Client DataAnnotations Localization Asp.net core server side localization is well documented and working for me. But how do you localize DataAnnotations on DTO models on the client side of Blazor webassembly?
On server side I've added the code below and DataAnnotations are localized. Everything is working as expected.
...
services
.AddRazorPages()              .AddViewLocalization(Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.LanguageViewLocationExpanderFormat.Suffix)
                .AddDataAnnotationsLocalization(
                    options =>
                    {
                        options.DataAnnotationLocalizerProvider = (type, factory) =>
                        {
                            return factory.Create(typeof(CommonStrings));
                        };

                    });
...

But how do I do the same thing on Blazor client side (webassembly)?
For example I have this model which is on client side:
public class ApplicationUserDTO
    {
        public string Id { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage ="Field {0} is required")]
        [Display(Name ="First name")]
        public string FirstName { get; set; }

        [Required]
        [Display(Name = "Last name")]
        public string LastName { get; set; }

        [Required]
        [Display(Name = "Email")]
        public string Email { get; set; }

        [Required]
        [Display(Name = "Username")]
        public string Username { get; set; }

    }

I want to post it to backend via <EditForm> component, and before I do that do the validation on client side.
I also want to localize it like i would on aspnet.core server - Error/validation messages and display names...
I tried with LocalizedValidator component:
    public class MessageValidatorBase<TValue> : ComponentBase, IDisposable
    {
        private FieldIdentifier _fieldIdentifier;
        private EventHandler<ValidationStateChangedEventArgs> _stateChangedHandler
            => (sender, args) => StateHasChanged();
        [CascadingParameter]
        private EditContext EditContext { get; set; }
        [Parameter]
        public Expression<Func<TValue>> For { get; set; }
        [Parameter]
        public string Class { get; set; }
        protected IEnumerable<string> ValidationMessages =>
            EditContext.GetValidationMessages(_fieldIdentifier);
        protected override void OnInitialized()
        {
            _fieldIdentifier = FieldIdentifier.Create(For);
            EditContext.OnValidationStateChanged += _stateChangedHandler;
        }
        public void Dispose()
        {
            EditContext.OnValidationStateChanged -= _stateChangedHandler;
        }
    }

and then created component:
@typeparam TValue
@inherits MessageValidatorBase<TValue>
@inject StringLocalizationService _localizer
@foreach (var message in ValidationMessages)
{
    <div class="@Class">
        @_localizer[message]

    </div>
}

but the problem is I get already expanded string here. For example if I have error message like this "The field {0} is required" I get "The field First name is required" which will not be localized since I don't have the resource with that key and I don't intend to translate the same error message for every property name...
[EDIT]
I just want to know if there is something trivial I didn't do instead of implementing it completely on my own

A: WebAssembly example.
Example property
[MaxLength(5,  ErrorMessageResourceName = "LengthError", ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.App))]
public string Prefix { get; set; }

Create a folder in your client called Resources.
Add a `.resx' file for each language plus a default (no language).

Make sure your set the access Modifier to Public

Example output in French.

Bengaluru, Oct 20: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has urged the Centre to exempt handmade products from the ambit of the Goods and Services Tax.
In a letter to Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley yesterday, Siddaramaiah said: "I am writing to raise a very critical issue that the GST council should take note of and decide on a priority basis."
He said he has received representation from a committee constituted by Gram Seva Sangh, consisting of noted activists including Prof Ashis Nandy, Uzramma and Shyam Benegal, seeking exemption from GST for various handmade items produced and marketed by producer cooperative societies and their federations.
Siddaramaiah said that noted theatre activist Prasanna had undertaken a 'satyagraha' and hunger strike against GST on many handmade products for the past few days in Bengaluru.
The chief minister said imposition of GST on such products has had an adverse impact on the livelihood of artisans engaged in producing such products.
Referring to the representation, whose copy was attached with the letter to Jaitley, Siddaramaiah said, "The representation requires serious and urgent consideration and a positive resolution."
"This would not only benefit a large segment of our rural population but would also give a boost to rural employment and sustainability," he said.
Meanwhile, Prasanna, who was on an indefinite fast in the city for the past five days on the issue, called off his fast last evening.
A release from the NGO, Environment Support Group, which extended support to the protest, said Prasanna broke the fast following an "assurance" from Siddaramaiah that the state government would support the satyagraha's demand for zero per cent GST on handmade products.
Prasanna had demanded total waiver of GST on handmade products, saying not doing so would cause the collapse of the rural economy.

Meghan Markle's dad too ill to attend UK royal wedding but mom has tea with royals
Ending days of speculation, Meghan Markle said Thursday that her father will not be able to attend her wedding to Prince Harry due to health problems.

WINDSOR: Ending days of speculation, Meghan Markle said Thursday that her father will not be able to attend her wedding to Prince Harry due to health problems. The news came as British military personnel rehearsed for a gala procession through Windsor that will follow Saturday's ceremony, which will be televised live around the world.
"Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding," Markle said in a statement. "I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health."
Markle also thanked "everyone who has offered generous messages of support" and said she and Harry are looking forward to "sharing our special day with you on Saturday."
Kensington Palace has not revealed any details about Thomas Markle's health issues, but the celebrity website TMZ says the 73-year-old retired Hollywood cinematographer is hospitalized in California after undergoing a procedure to clear blocked coronary arteries. He reportedly told the website he was OK after three stents had been inserted, but needed to rest.
Thomas Markle had been scheduled to walk his daughter down the aisle when she weds her prince Saturday in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
No replacement for him as been officially named but it's possible that Doria Ragland, the bride's mother, could fill that role instead. The bride may also choose to walk down the aisle by herself.
Ragland has had a series of whirlwind visits with senior royals since her arrival from California.
She met Harry's brother, Prince William, and his wife Kate and their two oldest children, Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 3, at Windsor Castle on Thursday afternoon. Palace officials said Harry and Meghan Markle were also present, and that the meeting was followed by a rehearsal dinner.
Ragland also had tea with Harry's father, Prince Charles, and his wife Camilla the day before. She will meet Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, for tea Friday at Windsor Castle, the palace said.
Officials did not say if Prince Philip, the queen's husband, will be present at the tea. He is recovering from hip replacement surgery.
Harry and Markle, who have remained out of the public eye in recent days, were spotted being driven onto the grounds of Windsor Castle on Thursday afternoon.
On the streets of Windsor, military personnel rehearsed their procession through the town, watched by thousands of enthusiastic royal fans.
The wedding day festivities will include a 25-minute carriage ride outside the grounds of Windsor Castle by the newlyweds after the ceremony. More than 2,600 members of the public have been invited onto the castle grounds to watch the procession.
Thursday's practice session aimed to work out the precise timings of Saturday's procession. The British pride themselves on carrying off complex parades with aplomb, and it would not do for the couple to arrive at their wedding reception even a few minutes late.
"It's very important to have a dress rehearsal, for everyone involved. It gives the guys a sense of timings for the day, how fast they need to move, how slow they need to move. It also helps the horses themselves, showing them the environment," said Adam Blackmore-Heale, a member of the Household Cavalry.
A large military contingent is taking part in the procession, reflecting Harry's years of military service, including tours in Afghanistan.
The church service will be conducted by the Rev. David Conner, the dean of Windsor. He said Thursday that Harry and Markle are deeply committed to each other.
"They're very serious about their relationship and that's why I think they particularly want to see it grounded in a religious ceremony, in a Christian ceremony," he said.
Doubts about whether Markle's father would come to the wedding surfaced earlier in the week when TMZ reported he would not come because he was embarrassed by reports that he had staged photos showing him being measured for his wedding suit. That story also included a report that he had suffered a recent heart attack.
The drama surrounding Thomas Markle, and harsh comments about the bride made by estranged members of her extended family who were not invited to the wedding, have dominated British tabloid coverage of the royal wedding.
Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine on Thursday castigated Harry's Kensington Palace press operation for not doing more to prevent Markle's relatives from sniping at her.
"Could they not have taken at least a few steps to get them on-side?" she said.

I am a fully qualified Integrative therapist and Registered Accredited member of the BACP. My experience includes working in the NHS with adults and I also have extensive experience working with young people, including developing a school counselling service and managing a caseload of individual therapy for young people with emotional, behavioural and social difficulties.
I offer a warm, professional, confidential counselling service, where clients can feel safe to discuss any concerns they may have. I work with both adults and young people for short and long term therapy including offering personal therapy to student counsellors.
As an Integrative therapist I can work with a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet the individual needs. I am competent in working with a wide range of distress and concern such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, self-esteem, bereavement and trauma.
I am passionate about providing a safe environment in which my clients will not feel judged, enabling them to explore their feelings at their own pace. This in turn can help develop self awareness and positive change.
If you would like to find out further information and arrange an appointment you can contact me via phone or email, if I am unable to answer please do leave a message with your contact number and I will get back to you as soon as possible. You can also find further information on my website.
The first session of counselling will give us the opportunity to explore what you would like to gain from therapy, ask any further questions and for us to decide if we feel the therapeutic approach I offer may be suitable for you. It will also enable me to form my initial assessment to see if I feel I may be able to support you with your concern.
I offer both short term and long term therapy depending on your individual needs and preference, this will be discussed during the first session. If we agree to work together we will then arrange a time for further sessions which are usually the same day and time each week, the session lasts for 1 hour.
I incorporate regular reviews within the sessions, this enables us to discuss how the therapy is going and if you decide you may benefit from longer term work we can the look at the option of extending to further sessions or if it would be more appropriate to look at the option of a referral to another professional.
My private practice is located on the ground floor at my home in Christchurch in a quiet location. There is plenty of parking on the road outside and the main bus routes and Christchurch train station are both near by.
To keep up to date with professional development I attend regular workshops and training throughout the year.
I have over 20 years experience working in education, social care and the NHS, including working with young people with physical disabilities and behavioural and emotional difficulties. I have practised as a therapist since 2005 working with adults, children and young people.

Q: Raising a Toast From AsyncTask I'm trying to raise a toast from asynctask, but I'm having trouble getting my parameters right.  I'm toasting from onProgressUpdate, so I'm on the UI thread, which I think is correct.  I think I'm going wrong with the context parameter, what should I pass in as a value?
EDIT: Showing code below
    @Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... strings){
    Toast toast = Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, strings[0], Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
    toast.show();
}

MainActivity.this is saying "No enclosing instance of the type MainActivity is accessible in scope."  I'm not sure what to pass as a context instead.
Thanks

A: Get the Context object by calling getApplicationContext() from MainActivity and pass it as a parameter to your AsyncTask.  As EboMike has pointed out, MainActivity.this would only work if your AsyncTask was an inner class.

A: If it's not an inner class declared at the point of use then MainActivity.this is likely to be out of scope. The only way to remedy the problem is to subclass AsyncTask and change the constructor to accept a context variable so you can set it in your custom class and use it from methods. Using getApplicationContext might work as well but I'm not sure how it will behave.

A: You can NOT do this in onProgressUpdate(). At least not this way. If Eclipse gives you this error, it is because MainActivity.this is unresolvable for it. Why? Because you are NOT in the UI Thread, so what you do is not thread-safe, because you must not access UI from another Thread.
First of all, and as told before, you should write a constructor taking a context and saving it to a global variable, so it is accessible everywhere inside the class.
Then, to access UI in a thread-safe way, use one of the following:
Activity.runOnUiThread(Runnable)
View.post(Runnable)
View.postDelayed(Runnable, long)

Those are thread-safe.
Regards


iTWire - Has Malcolm Turnbull lost his opportunity for change?
Home Government Government Tech Policy Has Malcolm Turnbull lost his opportunity for change?
Has Malcolm Turnbull lost his opportunity for change?
I sincerely hope that I am making this call too early, and that things will change for the better, but as the political situation currently stands we have lost another half year with basically nothing happening in the lucky country.
While I concentrate my analyses on the telecoms, the digital economy and smart city markets, I did make a statement when Malcolm Turnbull took the reins – that I absolutely disagreed with his NBN policy but that I at the same time supported him in much of the rhetoric that he was so eloquently presenting on many of the other issues that we, as a country, are facing.
But now, six months later, I have to conclude that he has not been able to transform any of that rhetoric into reality. Fortunately the destructively high level of negativism from Tony Abbott has gone, but not much has replaced it. And, while I don't think that the names 'Tony Turnbull' or 'Malcolm Abbott' that were coined by one observer are yet appropriate, policy-wise we have not been able to make any progress.
It was very clear that Malcolm Turnbull had a massive battle ahead of him against the ultra-conservative faction in his Cabinet, but it is a real disappointment that he has been rather a lame duck in this battle.
The sad story with those ultra-conservatives is that while they are able to stop progress they are unable to come up with any plans that will move us ahead as a nation. True, the PM is using future scenarios time and time again, so he is certainly trying; but he is not getting any support from his colleagues to turn these into forward-looking policies. He seems to lack the personal power to develop policies that would be more in line with his more liberal views of the world.
It is indeed a sad situation that while the majority of the people in Australia are in favour of progress, the minority group of ultra-conservatives are able to stop it. Fear Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) are the weapons they will use time and time again, dangerously playing on some of the darker sentiments in society.
One of the most dangerous elements for our industry in this sort of scaremongering is a loss of democracy and personal freedom through citizen and press surveillance. While the conservatives often stand for 'small government' in relation to secret service, surveillance and militarisation, they are the biggest advocates of maximum government intrusion. Telecommunications in all its aspects is then used to further their interventionist policies.
Talking about militarisation, the military defence paper was one of the few policies that breezed through cabinet, very much in line with the above.
As indicated, the 'dark force' is against progress, being instead in favour of the status quo. They see conflict all around them and want strong leaders and authoritarian processes. They are certainly not advocates of social progress. We only have to look at the Trumpfication of America so see how damaging this can get.
With more progressive politics currently being obstructed by ultra-conservatives, no action is taking place. For example, regarding the future of the NBN, which is looking bleaker by the day, several observers have now asked questions about investment in technologies that will soon become obsolete, and there is no plan to move the NBN beyond that situation. There are only a few diehards in the industry left who are still trumpeting the virtues of the second rate Multi Technology Mix (MtM); one have to ask what there motives are, political or technical?
A future privatisation will therefore most certainly be a financial disaster, a disaster clearly linked to the meshing of technologies, a FttH would most certainly have fetched a much higher price than the $27 billion estimated by PwC for a possible sale price of the MtM version of the network..
This lack of progress also applies to developments in smart energy. Despite a clear positive stand on these issues the PM has not been able to move away from the damaging policies put in place by his predecessor. In the meantime progress will happen anyway, and the heavily regulated energy industry, now totally in limbo, is facing a perfect storm – little innovation, customers disconnected from the grid, less revenue for the industry.
So who is going to pay for the grid? Will the government further increase energy prices – already among the highest in the world? That would guarantee a voters' revolt and a boost for solar and battery installations, leading to more grid defections and therefore lower revenues for the grid operators.
For those involved in industries that are spearheading the future these ultra-conservative policies are very damaging. The world doesn't stop; nor does it revolve around Australia. Progress will happen whether certain politicians like it or not, but without supportive policies in place it will be much harder for Australia to remain relevant and competitive in a globalised world. It will be difficult for us to create the new jobs that innovation generates, and we will miss out on the productivity and efficiencies that the digital economy has to offer – not just to businesses but also to healthcare, education and the government.
The challenges ahead of us are extremely complex and can't be resolved with one-liners and shirt-fronting. We need far more sophisticated leadership. We had hoped that Malcolm Turnbull would deliver on that but so far he has not been able to do so.
The world is not approaching the apocalypse that some of the conservatives are predicting – we have a bright and promising future ahead of us. But we need the right political leaders to focus on these issues and provide the policies so that the rest of the country can get on with the job of making it happen.
For the moment at least Malcolm Turnbull remains our best hope, but his star is fading quickly.


At ISE 2016, Genelec is showcasing the latest addition to its Smart Active Monitor (SAM) range, the 8430.
As well as being the latest member of the series, the 8430 is also the world's first commercially-ready AoIP (Audio over Internet Protocol) studio monitor.
Since Genelec debuted its first AoIP system at ISE 2010, much has happened in establishing more mature standards for Audio over IP, particularly the AES67 standard on interoperability.
"At Genelec, we believe that Audio over IP networking, using systems fully compatible with open and global standards, is the right, reliable and robust way to address the future needs of the audio market. By launching 8430 we are a significant step closer to this reality," says Siamäk Naghian, managing director at Genelec.
The 8430 features a variety of connectivity options. First using an AES67 signal via the XLR-housed RJ45 connector, and second, using a standard analogue signal via a balanced XLR connector.
As part of the Genelec SAM Series, the 8430 shares identical electro-acoustic features as the rest of the range, including MDE and DCW technologies, a flow optimised reflex port, very low distortion, high SPL and wide uncoloured response in a very compact enclosure.
"With the technological progress that has been made in the field and the serious involvements with AoIP by broadcasters and other customers, we feel there is potential for a well-engineered monitor to provide both convenience and high performance benefits that IP networks can deliver. We think that the 8430 is exactly that monitor and I anticipate an enthusiastic reception of the product amongst the audio community. Audio over IP is no longer the future of monitoring, it is here now," concludes Naghian.
In related AoIP news, the Media Networking Alliance (MNA) is exhibiting for the first time at ISE. The MNA is the professional AV industry alliance charged with promoting awareness and adoption of AES67. Genelec is a member company, as are Archwave, Merging Technologies and Lawo, who also have AES67 products available for demonstration at ISE.

Hermosa Barcelona! Discover Barcelona's architecture
Topped by the wildly imaginative works of Antoni Gaudi, Barcelona is a living collage of architectural styles.
Though it's most famous for modernist masterpieces, Barcelona is covered with architectural mega-attractions that are equally fascinating whether you're an enthusiast or just want to get a feel for the city. Here's our walkthrough of the top sights and areas.
Follow our guide to the exceptional architecture in Barcelona
Start in the Ciutat Vella
With La Rambla as its central thoroughfare, the obvious place to start your Barcelona architecture tour is in the Ciutat Vella, or old city.
This vibrant district comprises several smaller neighbourhoods – Barri Gotic (the Gothic Quarter), El Born, El Raval and La Barceloneta – each of which has its own distinct character, as well as a host of unmissable architectural gems.
Here you can walk a stretch of one of the best-preserved Roman walls in the world, next to Plaça de Ramon Berenguer el Gran, before delving into the labyrinthine streets to see the range of styles that define this enigmatic area.
From Gothic mansions and Romanesque churches to medieval markets and classical baroque palaces, there's something to see on virtually every corner, and plenty of leafy plazas.
Highlights are numerous and often come down to personal taste, but there are undeniable showpieces no one should skip.
Vying for attention are Gaudi's magnificent Palau Güell mansion and the Gothic, gargoyle-covered Barcelona Cathedral, as well as the grandiose Palau de la Música concert hall, regarded as one of the finest Modernista buildings in Barcelona. Other essential stops include the five Catalan-Gothic palazzos that make up the Museu Picasso, and the weird and wonderful Casa Bruno Cuadros; a quirky art nouveau building on La Rambla adorned with decorative umbrellas and fans.
A view into the beautifully modern residential Eixample district
Modernisme in Eixample
To the north of the Plaça de Catalunya is the sprawling shopping and business district of Eixample, divided into two distinct sections by the elegant Passeig de Gràcia.
Laid out on a geometric grid system in the mid-19th century, it's a much-studied example of considered urban planning, put in place as the city grew beyond the old medieval walls. During Eixample's evolution various high-profile architects gave expression to their wildest ideas here, creating a neighbourhood-wide, open-air museum of Modernisme, also known as Catalan art nouveau.
Romantic hotels in Barcelona: From candlelit dinners on a… The best hotels in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter The best luxury hotels in Barcelona Top 10: The best family friendly hotels in Barcelona
For a definitive flavour of this unique style, head to the central section between Passeig de Sant Joan and Carrer Aribau, known as the Quadrat d'Or, or Golden Square. These breezy boulevards were the favoured spot of the well-to-do, who commissioned Barcelona's foremost architectural minds to come up with elaborate homes.
Consequently you can see some of the greatest architecture in Barcelona here, including Gaudi's dragon-roofed Casa Batlló, Puig i Cadafalch's Casa Amatller, and Domènech i Montaner's impressive Casa Lleó Morera; a trio collectively known as the Manzana de la Discordia, or the Block of Discord.
Of course, no visit to Eixample would be complete without a tour of its best-known building.
Gaudi's landmark Sagrada Familia is probably the most famous work-in-progress in the world, and a symbol of the Barcelona skyline for more than a century. It's still slated to be completed around the centenary of Gaudi's death in 2026, though various land issues have prompted some commentators to speculate whether it will ever be finished at all.
Either way, it continues to astound and confound every visitor to Barcelona, and is one of the most extraordinary structures in Spain, if not the world.
Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia is the largest unfinished Roman Catholic Church in the world
Contemporary architecture in Barcelona
Despite Barcelona's major associations with Catalan art nouveau, the city is so much more than just Gaudi, and has always been at the forefront of architectural innovation. Its contemporary masterpieces include the striking Joan Miró Foundation building designed by Josep Lluís Sert, and Mies van der Rohe's iconic German Pavilion constructed for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition – now recreated as a replica next to the Magic Fountain of Montjuic.
More recent additions have helped to reinvigorate previously run-down parts of the city.
East of the Parc de la Ciutadella, the former working-class industrial neighbourhood of El Poblenou was once known as the 'Manchester of the Mediterranean'. After most of its factories and warehouses closed it fell into a steep decline in the latter part of the 20th century, only to have new life breathed into it by a massive regeneration project, sparked by the announcement that Barcelona would host the Summer Olympics in 1992.
The Telefonica-Diagonal ZeroZero Tower at the innovation hub in District 22@
District 22@
As with many host cities, the Olympics triggered huge urban renewal, leading to the development of the 22@ innovation district, which has become a hotbed of sustainable and technology-led architecture.
Some of the most prominent new landmarks include the 38-storey Torre Glòries skyscraper (formerly known as the Torre Agbar), which, at 472ft tall, is Barcelona's third-tallest building and similar in form to Norman Foster's Gherkin in London. Next-door is the metal-clad Barcelona Museum of Design, which juts out over the Plaça de les Glòries, earning it the nickname 'the stapler' by locals.
Admittedly it's a love-it or loathe-it kind of building, but whatever your view, the outstanding collections inside make it a must-visit destination for design lovers.

I've recently been involved with a couple of hearings where no judge was available, so we all trooped off home (at significant expense for my client).
So I did some research on recovering those wasted costs from the famed MOJ Compensation Fund.
Whilst I don't feel strongly enough about this to launch an e-petition and force a debate in parliament (like that would happen), it's poor practice that these important decisions – relating to the state keeping up its end of the social (and now fee-paid) contract – should depend on the whim on a local service manager who isn't even purporting to apply consistent or fair criteria.
My impression is that this is happening more often. I'd be interested to hear about other people's experiences in the comments.
That's my impression, too. I had a 6-dayer get pulled from the list the night before just 2 weeks ago, and a colleague in another 6-dayer had the same experience on the following day. Both at London Central. While this kind of adjournment has been happening for as long as I remember, I only ever recall it happening in short cases – up to 2 days' length.
This year I have had two cases removed from the list due to lack of judicial availability the last working day prior to the hearing, both outside the North East one of which was when I was boarding the train to travel.
The one occasion compensation was sought for the travel and hotel expenses that were wasted a short reply was received that as listing was a judicial decision, no compensation could relate to that decision.
As Tribunal claims fall and new fee paid judges arrive, I would be particularly concerned if this continued into 2014.
It is happening more in my experience. One reason it is happening more is because REJ's are saving money by not using fee paid judges who will emphatically tell you that they are available even at short notice. So the statement that there is no judge available to hear the case is half true. These last minute postponements are frustrating for everyone including the hapless lay members who get stood down at the last minute and don't get their fee.
This is one of my real bug bears. I'm sure I don't do as many tribunals as the lawyers on here but every one since this time last year has been postponed the afternoon before due to "unavailability of a judge" (with one exception – they told us that the afternoon before that the case was being transferred from Carlisle to Manchester – which since both claimant and respondent were based in Whitehaven was a completely unrealistic situation at such short notice). I must admit I've never even tried to get compensation.
If you have been cancelled, it is worth asking the Tribunal to give your case "DNM" or "Do Not Move" status. That should reduce the chances of it happening again. Some regions do this without prompting. Others, with very difficult lists, refuse but it must be worth a try.
Our last three hearings have all been pulled the day before -all within the last two weeks. Not enough Employment Judges is the reason given. I would hazard a guess that Regional Employment Judges have to work to a strict budget and therefore cannot pull in a part time Judge at the last minute when the number of cases listed exceed the number of Judges. Bloody annoying though. Grrrrrr!


New Zealand Pinot Noirs and Sauvignon Blancs broke records at this year's International Wine Challenge.
New Zealand enjoys a record year of winnings at the International Wine Challenge, bagging 38 gold medals – 13 of which were Pinot Noirs.
The 30th International Wine Challenge saw New Zealand flourish, winning a staggering 38 gold medals for their prized cool climate drops.
"New Zealand's Pinot just gets better and better and it is hard to beat in terms of quality, consistency and value. One theme that came through in judging this year was the regional diversity. This is great news for New Zealand Pinot and one that suggests that vine age is now starting to have a significant impact," said Sam Harrop MW, Co-Chairman of the IWC.
As well as their famed Pinot Noirs, which collected 13 gold medals, Sauvignon Blanc was only two behind on 11 gold. Alongside these better known varietals were some emerging grapes, including Grüner Veltliner (commonly found in Austria), and Albarino, which is traditionally from Spain and Portugal. Both these lesser known varieties took home a gold each.
"These wines have been tasted against thousands of contenders so it is a tremendous achievement that will catapult their product to an international audience," said Charles Metcalfe, co-chairman of the IWC.
The International Wine Challenge is one of the world's most rigorously judged wine competitions.

Awesome Drone Video Puts You On Top of KEEL Radio's Towers [VIDEO]
An amazing new drone video gives 101.7 / 710 KEEL listeners a bird's eye view from the top of the KEEL radio towers, all to the accompaniment of a vintage KEEL jingle.
The drone video, from AeroShotsTV, show the KEEL towers, numbering six in all, located just north of Shreveport in Dixie, Louisiana.
Here's a little more KEEL history from Wikipedia:
"The station originated with the call letters WDAN, licensed on May 19, 1922 to W.G.Patterson and Glenwood Radio Corporation, a Shreveport radio equipment dealer. The first broadcasts were made from Centenary College in Shreveport using a 10-watt transmitter.
By July of the same year Patterson and his associates moved the station to a new location, increased power to 50 watts, and was assigned call letters WGAQ. Local businessman W.K. Henderson became involved with the station, eventually gaining a controlling interest. In January of 1925,
Henderson relocated the transmitter site to his estate at Kennonwood, north of Shreveport. On August 14, 1926, W. G. Patterson and associates organized the Shreveport Broadcasting Association, purchasing the interest of W.K. Henderson in the station, and changing the call letters to KSBA.
The station changed ownership again in 1929, and the call letters were changed to KTBS. KTBS sold its radio operations in 1957. The call letters were changed to the current KEEL."

A good friend recently gave up red meat for Lent. She hadn't had a hot dog in years, but for some reason she got a hankering for one as soon as she couldn't have them. This BBQ chicken corn dog recipe satisfys her craving, and honestly, it's better than many classic corn dog recipes. It's sweet and tangy from the BBQ sauce, and the shredded chicken has a really nice texture.
The key to making this recipe work is putting the log-shaped chicken mixture in the freezer after adding the skewers. If the chicken logs are not frozen, you'll have a really hard time making them stay together as they fry. It takes an extra hour of prep time, but it's totally worth it.
In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce, ketchup and mustard.
Portion the seasoned chicken into 4 logs. Place a wooden skewer through each log and freeze the logs for 1 hour.
In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar and salt. Slowly add the buttermilk, whisking until the mixture is smooth.
In a large Dutch oven, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F.
Dip a chicken log into the batter until it is completely coated. Gently place the chicken into the oil.
Fry for 5 minutes, until golden brown on all sides, turning with tongs if necessary. Place the cooked skewers on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Repeat the dipping and frying process until all 4 corn dogs are cooked.


Home UX/UI Design UX of one.
Creating my own design team at FedEx.
For the past several months I've been consulting at a newly-acquired company by FedEx. I was tasked with reimagining and redesigning an aging and poorly designed application. The catch: I was the only UX designer at the company, and I needed help.
UX is not meant to be alone, and I needed to bring in others to generate ideas and critique my own. I needed perspective, and insight others had that I didn't. I needed constant feedback. And I especially needed others to promote better usability and design. I needed a team.
As I was conducting research and interviewing employees, I soon found those who brought energy, insight and a helpful attitude. These were the people I could count on to help make the project a success.
Seeing a cool new UI and being presented with a deck showing initial research and the potential for improvement and money-saved is a quick way to get an exec on board and on my side.
Managers are busy with meetings, reports, supporting their team and responding to problems. Those who were willing to schedule team meetings to generate ideas and processes were invaluable to move the project along. They also set an example that it's OK for other employees to put time and effort into ideating better usability. Usability that would pay off for everyone down the road.
People know what good usability design feels like. They experience it on their phone and on popular websites. But when they come to work and slog through a dated application with no thought for usability, it's easy to be discouraged. I found employees who realized they could make a difference and were willing to do user tests, sketch out their own ideas, and even send me emails with their thoughts about feedback.
They don't know what they don't know. And that can be a good thing. When I ask for help responding to the current software and imagining different ideas, they have very little history with it. They can give fresh ideas that aren't restrained yet, and judge it with fresh eyes.
I connected with developers who were more of a mind to stay on top of UX principles. They were willing to talk with users (on occasion) or at least go with me to meet them. Not surprisingly, these developers gave valuable feedback and ideas that improved my designs and flows all the time.
Some of what I was doing at FedEx couldn't be shared. But it was still important to get feedback, mental and emotional support from other designers who could relate to the issues I was facing.
But what about the opposite side?
There are those who do know a lot but have a condescending attitude towards others because of it. I saw that they lacked the ability to listen and try to understand much of the time. They weren't flexible and had a hard time engaging with other employees. As expected, others had a hard time working with them too.
Sitting there with arms folded, murmuring under their breath, this person relishes pointing at all the mistakes and shortsightedness they see in a company. They take pleasure in sitting back and not participating in building solutions because they're the only ones who get it.
There are developers who are kind of like short-order cooks. They reach into Jira, pull the next ticket off the carousel, fry up the code. "Order Up!" Their interest is more about marking time until their shift's done, not in reaching out to try new things.
Been There. Done That. Ain't Gonna Happen.
I met some employees who at first I thought were going to be a golden resource of knowledge and perspective. They'd worked in different departments and knew how all the pieces of the company fit together. But there was a dark side. They had seen their share of 'initiatives,' that had faded without effect, and had all but given up that anything would ever change.
"We've tried stuff before. Can't be done," was a common response.
The other day I overheard a couple of developers talking about where a button should appear on the screen and whether it should say 'done' or 'close.' I bristled at first thinking they should be consulting me. But then I had another thought. Isn't part of my role as a UX designer to promote usability and its benefits anywhere I can? And instead, I should be excited to find other people having a UX-related discussion amongst themselves.
Designers working in teams at other places may have a more established UX environment and culture. But I've been able to design my portion of a big project and show huge cost savings for FedEx. Due very much to recruiting the indispensable help of people inside the company that never even knew they were part of my product team.
UX of one. was originally published in UX Collective on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Important Dominican Republic Travel Update
by Paula Hill, CCC | Aug 27, 2020 | Caribbean, Resort Vacations
Are you booked at a Dominican Republic All-Inclusive Resort?
On 8/25/20 the president of the Dominican Republic announced an exciting set of initiatives and protocols to ensure safe travel in the DR.
The following measures apply to all travel industry businesses including restaurants and bars:
Rapid tests will be performed on randomly selected travelers upon arrival, such as the diagnostic breath test for COVID-19.
Upon implementation of this measure at the end of September 2020, the requirement for a negative COVID-19 test prior to arrival will be eliminated.
Social distancing and the use of masks will be mandatory for the duration of a visitor's stay.
All tourists visiting a resort will be granted a travel assistance plan on a temporary basis that will include coverage for emergencies, telemedicine, lodging for prolonged stays, and costs for changing flights in the event of an infection.
This insurance will be provided at no cost to the visitor until December 2020 and will be 100% paid for by the Dominican State.
A sanitary area will be implemented to ensure that resort employees stay as long as possible within the facilities. Properties will implement effective health management with suppliers, contractors, and employees.
Employees will be regularly tested and will follow a specific protocol to come in and out of the facilities.
Plus all of the better (upscale and luxury) resorts have implemented their own safety and hygiene protocols to protect both employees and visitors.

Q: Norm of a Taylor approximation of a multivariate function I have a function $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^m$. My goal is to bound the first order Taylor approximation of $f$. Given $x,x'\in\mathbb{R}^n$ I have that
\begin{equation}
f(x)-f(x')\approx (x-x')^TDf(x')+(x-x')^THf(x')(x-x')+\mathcal{O}\left(\left\Vert x-x' \right\Vert^3\right),
\end{equation}
where $Df(x')$ and $Hf(x')$ define the Jacobian and Hessian w.r.t $x'$, respectively. Taking the 2-norm of each side we get
\begin{align}
\left\Vert f(x)-f(x')-(x-x')^TDf(x')\right\Vert_2&\leq \left\Vert(x-x')^THf(x')(x-x')\right\Vert_2\\
&\leq\left\Vert H f(x')\right \Vert_2\left\Vert x-x'\right \Vert^2_2 \quad (\text{operator norm}).\\
&\leq C \left\Vert x-x'\right \Vert^2_2\\
\end{align}
My goal is to bound (and find $C$) such that $\left\Vert Hf(x') \right \Vert_2\leq C$. The confusion I have is that as $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^m$, the Jacobian and Hessian are both tensors. Is the correct approach to split $f=(f_1,f_2,\dots,f_n)$ and take $n$ separate Taylor approximations of $f_j:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}^m$ for $j=1:n$ and then we would have $\left\Vert Hf(x') \right \Vert_2^2=\sum_{j=1}^n\left\Vert Hf_j(x') \right\Vert_2^2$ where $Hf_j(x')$ is the individual Hessian of $f_j$ at the point $x'$ ?
Or am I missing something blindingly obvious here?
Thanks in advance.

ZTE USA is happy to announce an update to the Blade Max View (Z610DL). Over the next 72 hours a rolling OTA (Over the Air) update will be going out to all active devices.
This update will take you from your current Nougat Build(Z610DLV2.0.0B08) to Android Oreo Build (Z610DLV3.0.0B06). Updated features and functions of this new build are listed below in the notes.
Miscellaneous performance improvements and other fixes.
This is such an awesome to end 2018! Blade Max View users enjoy Oreo.
woohoo ...Happy New year .... Thanks ZTE !!
Thanks ZTE for honoring your pledge to deliver oreo 8.1.0. Fully updated as of this post. Very happy.
And it works on Google Fi!
I was so happy to hear this, but I will wait a few days before I update.
Will this be available for zmax pro?
@bobandsin Oreo will not be coming to the ZMAX Pro. That device is no longer being updated.
im so sad,I love this phone.
I don't suppose us ZTE Blade Max (Z982) users will be getting this update? Checking my current last update was Android ver 7.1.1 Security patch level Aug 1, 2018.
@Bladereap3r As with any carrier device it does depend on whether or not the carrier requests the update. At this time I don't see carriers pushing any additional updates to that device (982).
sshasan, thanks for the reply and another view about my query. Sad though, i really wanted the Oreo OS but im happy with my Z982 under $200usd fone and im not prepared to flop out high dollars for a flagship fone (attn Metropcs) .
Does this phone blade max view supports AT&T VoLTE and Cricket?
@skyethur The Blade Max View is a special case as it was originally destined for carriers. The requirements were in place prior to launch.
Ahh i see just like the huawei mate pro that was supposed to launch on AT&T but didn't go further but still get VoLTE and wifi calling.

Wool for Climate & Nature
The World Resources Institute's Roadmap to Net Zero in the Apparel Sector revealed that 39% of emissions in the fashion supply chain are emitted at the farm and raw material processing stages. As fashion brands focus on meeting their net zero carbon and nature positive commitments, they must address the materials they use and their sourcing supply chains.
Wool has had a long and impactful history in the UK. In medieval England wool was the most common material used in clothing, and production of wool from the farm to the mill and processing levels played an important role in the Industrial Revolution. While there are still roughly 30 million sheep in the UK, after WWII the emphasis has shifted from sheep as a diverse income stream from wool, meat, and skins, to commercial farming focused on meat production. Most wool fibre produced in the UK today is used in household textiles such as carpets instead of clothing. As a result, wool supply chains in the UK are fragmented.
There is a growing interest among artisans and craft makers in the UK to revitalise traditional wool production techniques and activate supply networks focused on sustainable wool garment production. Synthetic fibres account for nearly 60% of materials in today's clothing, while wool comprises just over 1%. Consumer preferences and higher production costs contribute to this difference.
Pilio is working to increase demand in sustainable fashion for wool textile fibres from farms implementing regenerative agricultural practices. We aim to demonstrate the environmental, economic, social, and cultural opportunities presented by wool fibre production. To generate demand, Pilio is developing a wool product activating a local and sustainable supply network.
Pilio is leading on a number of innovative projects to activate the adoption of renewable energy solutions and regenerative agricultural practices in communities producing natural fibres. One of these is Pilio's Wool for Climate & Nature.
Developing a wool production network
Pilio is developing Wool for Climate & Nature to connect the wool supply chain from farmers to brands to create a wool product while demonstrating the environmental benefits of regenerative sheep farming.
Pilio is currently scoping this project and working alongside UK farmers. As a member of Textile Exchange and Pasture Fed Livestock Association, Pilio will share the learnings from this project with the wider fashion and farming communities to ensure it can be scaled and replicated.
To develop Wool for Climate & Nature Pilio is undertaking the following activities in 2022:
Market analysis on UK wool and sustainable fashion
Engagement with the emergent interest in rebuilding the wool market from brands to farmers, processors, and craft makers to activate a sustainable supply network
Demonstrate the value of wool fibre and learn best practices through production and marketing of a prototype wool product
Calculate the carbon footprint of the project in order to ensure sustainability claims are backed by science and metrics
Develop a 2023 exploitation plan to use Pilio's learning in this project towards scaling sustainable wool production processes
Are you a brand with an interest in steering meaningful investment in your wool supply network? Contact us for more information.

Tel Aviv Tips > Tel Aviv Tips > Things to try in Tel Aviv: Burger Ranch
If you like fast food and want to try the local fast food, Israel's Burger Ranch is McDonald's main competitor in Tel Aviv, like in the rest of the country. Burger Ranch has a total of 107 branches all over Israel, including several in Tel Aviv and they have taken over many of the former Burger King branches in the country (Burger King is no longer operating in the country due to the fierce competition on the fast food market). The first Burger Ranch branch was opened in 1972 on Ben Yehuda street in Tel Aviv, and the second one opened in 1978, also in Tel Aviv, but on Ibn Gvirol Street. So Burger Ranch is really Tel Avivian at heart, even though branches of this chain can now be found all over the country. Burger Ranch does not sell non-kosher products like cheeseburgers or seafood (many of the McDonalds branches in Israel are also kosher, by the way) but we highly recommend their fries (especially the ones with the jagged edges, so good!) and the spicier hamburgers. There are 4 glatt kosher Burger Ranch branches, one in Jerusalem, one in Petach Tikva and two in Bnei Brak, but none in Tel Aviv. For Passover, however, all of the branches offer buns for the hamburgers that are kosher for Passover.
Like any big city, Tel Aviv has a lot of events, shows and other fun…
One of the main attractions in Tel Aviv, of course are it's many gorgeous beaches.…
The Goocha is without a doubt one of the leading sea-food restaurants in Tel Aviv…
When looking for a place to shop for more reasonably priced items than on Kikar…


Finally, with competition to Google for the first time Sony Smart Eyeglass to launch next year 2015. Sony announced the feature and specification of the Smart Eyeglass, this eye glass connects with Android 4.1 and above version smartphones. These accesses to smartphones, data like text, symbols and images onto the user's field of view.
At this moment people are focused to smart watch Technology by iPhone; many other top brands are focused to develop the smart watch technology. Both the smart watch and smart Eyeglasssegments will be likely to see a lot more buzz next year with many top companies. Sony reported on their personal blog that the Smart Eyeglass is supposed to launch in March 2015.Sony also announced that there will be separate software development, particularly for its smart Eyeglassproduct that means Sony is trying to create some different attraction, and the exact information is not yet revealed.
The Sony Eyeglass is included with some advanced technology, which is never used in any other eyeglass like transparent lens focusing, CMOS image sensor built into it, accelerometer, Gyroscope, electronic compass, brightness sensor, and microphone. Sony Company said that these features will be enabled together with GPS location information within the connected smartphone, hoping that this device will provide much valuable information as per the user's current circumstances.
And sure in Sony Smart Eyeglass device they will be using their optic technology, to develop a lens of 85% transparency and just 3.0 in thickness. This Eyeglass is included with monochrome display. This smart Eyeglass is fixed with Camera to the left hand with just 3.0 megapixel which supports Bluetooth and WI-Fi for connectivity and other share options as per the installed application.

You have probably passed the beauty section at your favorite store many times. What you may not know is what that beauty counter can do for you. This is just one great tip, and many more follow in this article.
TIP! Fill an empty pot or a tiny jar with the moisturizer of your choice. You could stash the portable container in a purse, travel bag or in a desk drawer at your work.
Apply Vaseline to your cuticles weekly. Since this feeds your nails, they should grow more quickly. Additionally, it will help your cuticles and nails be stronger and healthier. This is an easy and quick way to make your nails and cuticles more attractive and healthy.
Before going to bed, spread some Vaseline over your eyebrows. This will make your eyebrows look better and shiny. However, be careful with the Vaseline, as getting it elsewhere on your skin can lead to acne and clogged pores.
TIP! No matter what your skin looks and feels like, it is important to wash your face at least once a day. Be sure to fully remove makeup prior to cleaning your skin.
In order to enhance the appearance of your lips, use shimmery white eyeshadow on the center of the top lip. This will improve the reflection off of your lip, giving you the glow that you desire.
You can enhance hazel or dark green eyes by using colors that bring out the golds and greens to appear like candlelight. These type of colors include silver pewter, pale shimmery lavender, light brown and even deep purple.
TIP! Research has shown that most people find beauty in symmetry. If you want to be beautiful, strive for symmetry.
Even hair color and style can be altered to make fuller faces look narrower and slimmer. A cut with sleek long lines that lands below your jaw but above your shoulders works best. Also, use highlights to create a narrow and more defined appearance. This color variation will attract attention to facial features like your eyes and smile.
Always properly wash your make-up off at night before you go to sleep. Use a solution that is geared to expel all of the makeup from your face. After this, clean your face using your regular methods. If you don't remove make-up, it will clog your pores and you are more likely to get acne.
Before applying mascara, use an eyelash curler to curl your eyelashes. This will help to enliven your eyelashes so your whole appearance looks more energetic. When using an eyelash curler, start at the bottom of the lashes and squeeze for a single second. Do it a second time at the tips of the lashes. This can help to give you the curve that you desire for beautiful lashes.
TIP! This can cause you a lot of problems because your follicles are open at that time. This can cause severe irritation.
If your skin is less than perfect, select a matte blush instead of a shimmer bush. Blushes with shimmer tend to highlight blemishes such as acne, scars, moles and bumps, making them far more obvious. A matte blush will hide blemishes and other imperfections.
Epsom salt has many beauty benefits you should take advantage of. You can use Epsom salts for a laxative or to soothe your sore body. Use salt, water, and lavender to help make the paste. This can be applied to trouble spots on your skin and left overnight. You will wake in the morning to improved skin.
TIP! If you have a square-shaped face, create a softer look by applying a cream-based rose, pink or coral blush. Use the blush on your cheeks, applying it with your fingers.
In conclusion, you may have walked by a beauty counter without knowing that you could get your makeup done there. It can be a good way to find out about new things and new makeup techniques. These tips can help you when you are buying beauty products. You'll feel great on your way out the door.
