Bruce Silverstein Gallery is pleased to announce our second exhibition space, Silverstein Photography / 20, located at 529 West 20th Street, 3RD Floor. Silverstein Photography / 20, dedicated to the exposure of emerging photographic-based artists, reinforces our pledge to the future of the medium and the notion that significance is not restricted by exposure. In addition to the exhibition space, Silverstein Photography / 20 will also feature a newly designed private viewing area offering our clients and guests access to the works of our artists within a dynamic environment. For its inaugural exhibition, Silverstein Photography / 20 is pleased to introduce the work of Italian-born artist Maria Antonietta Mameli.
For her exhibition, Mameli (b. 1969) will show works from her recent series, Human Observations, Red Bags and Human Observations, Red Leashes. From the vantage point of the Manhattan Bridge, Mameli photographs the throngs of shoppers in New York's Chinatown carrying the neighborhood's signature red plastic bags, as well as dog-owners holding red leashes. These works call attention to the overlooked but recurrent possessions of her pedestrian subjects.
Once in production, Mameli removes all other elements from within the frame thereby highlighting the universality of our own human possessions (however temporary) through the bewitching union of light and object. By keeping her subjects in true scale as seen from the bridge, viewers are afforded an intimate encounter with the form of a stranger, whose only identifying traits are his or her silhouette and the belongings they carry. Without these typical layers of identification found in most street scenes, Mameli forces the audience to relate to her subjects typographically, with only the thematic elements she has chosen to feature serving as our guide.
Mameli's reductionary and high-contrast street scenes echo the printing style of famed Italian photographer Mario Giacomelli, and unite photography's most essential components, light and form. By minimizing the compositional elements within her images, Mameli not only calls attention to the temporal beauty of her anonymous subjects, but the simplicity of the medium as well. Mameli isolates the artistry of life's minutiae and our own comprehension of it.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a new executive order Wednesday, paving the way for a gradual reopening of the state as officials seek to put the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic in their rear-view mirrors.
At a press conference, the governor announced that his "safer-at-home" order, which limited commerce to essential services and was set to expire at the end of April, would be extended to May 4.
After that, looser rules in his new executive order — dubbed the "Phase 1: Safe. Smart. Step-by-Step. Plan for Florida's Recovery" — will be the law of the land.
Restaurants may once again welcome diners to sit down in their eateries, but they must limit their indoor occupancy to 25 percent and implement social-distancing measures by, for example, keeping bar counters closed. Eateries are also encouraged to seat people outdoors.
Hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers may once again perform elective surgeries, but they must set aside some capacity in their facilities as "surge capacity," in case of a new wave of COVID-19 infections.
The facility must also have adequate personal protective equipment without relying on state resources, according to the new order.
Non-essential retail stores, museums and libraries can also open, if permitted by local governments, at 25 percent of their normal occupancy levels.
In the first phase of the reopening, bars, pubs and nightclubs that derive more than 50 percent of their gross revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages will still not be allowed to sell alcohol for on-premises consumption.
Gyms and fitness centers, also, will remain closed for the time being. Restrictions on visiting nursing homes and long-term-care facilities will also remain in place.
DeSantis said a "phase 2" of the reopening, when riskier businesses involving more social contact like bars, hair salons and gyms would be allowed to reopen, will happen in consultation with medical officials, and only if state medical data continues to point in the right direction.

How did this half-holiday festivity come to be? We've heard of multiple sources:
- It can be hot on December 25th in Australia because of globe science. So those fun-loving Aussies started celebrating in their winter, or mid-July. When the Brits got to Australia, they brought the idea that Christmas is a cold-weather holiday. That means July when you're down under. Or up above, as they call it.
- In the early 1930s, a summer camp in North Carolina started the celebration and it just caught on. The kids loved the chance to decorate their cabins and sing carols. (And, of course, everybody got presents.) They were more arts and crafts than bicycles and baby dolls, but a gift is a gift.
- It's the title of a not very popular movie from 1940. The movie didn't "make" the holiday, but by the time 1940 rolled around, people were already way into the idea of summer celebrating.

Beyond calorie counting, regular exercise or counter-intuitive strategies like the "Cookie Diet," one of the easiest ways to boost your chances of losing and maintaining weight is ... a scale (duh). Self-tracking can be tedious, though, especially if you're keeping tabs on a number of metrics. Hence, automation is as good as it gets.
The Wi-Fi Scale from Withings isn't the only web-connected digital scale on the market, but for now, it's the best we've stepped on. Aside from weight (to a tenth of a pound), the scale immediately calculates Body Mass Index and fat/lean mass (based on measurements like height, which you self-report upon signing-up online). Nice part is that if your computer's not on, the scale will save data and upload it— in a matter of seconds — next time you log on. Better part is that multiple people (read: your roommate who borrows everything) can use the scale, too. If your weights are very similar and the scale isn't sure who's who, the data will be attributed separately to an "unknown" user for you to claim and add to your user name. (Our account tracked three separate people, and only one weigh-in was unclear).
Sleek, sexy and simple, the online interface not only lets you quickly chart trend data for all of the metrics and set and track specific goals, but publish and/or share data in a multitude of ways including Twitter, Google Health and Training Peaks, which allows you to log workouts. Speaking of which, there's no reason you have to be tethered to a desktop to check out your progress. Withings' free iPhone app is a particularly solid approximation of the browser experience. Portrait shows you the numbers by day. Turning the phone to landscape gives you a chart of your weight over time. After all, knowing really is half the battle.

Search Engine Optimisation Ask any SEO professional a few years ago what the most important factors were with regards to website optimization, and they'll almost certainly mention keywords. However, the focus on keyword-based optimization has dropped out of favour enormously in the last few years, not least because major Google algorithm updates crushed many websites and low-quality content farms for their excessive on-site optimization. The search engine crawlers are robots, and just like all robots used to be, they were once very simple in nature. SEO was much simpler too, in theory at least. In its early days, Google would rank online content solely based on the keywords and links that its crawlers would find on websites.

Stupidest Column Of The Week Award Goes To... Thomas Friedman Again
Thank you Liz Cheney, for standing up against fascism. The rest of your career-- from soup to nuts (and that is mostly nuts)-- is every bit as bad as anyone could imagine. I hope you're reelected in the reddest and most ignorant, bigoted state in the Union, but that's just to give Trump a heart attack. Your voting record is a low "F" and everything you vote for has always made peoples' lives worse. And I know as well as everyone else that you have about the same chance of being sworn in as the Congress member from Wyoming next January as Dennis Kucinich does.
Friedman is generally a laughing stock and a boob to begin with, but in his Tuesday NY Times column he floated the idea of a Biden-Cheney ticket for 2024. To begin with, Biden is the oldest president in history and probably won't even run again. But if he did and win, Cheney would be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Cheney would be the most conservative president in history-- and the most hawkish and truculent, Great idea! And where does he get this idea? "Answer: It's the most diverse national unity government in Israel's history, one that stretches from Jewish settlers on the right all the way to an Israeli-Arab Islamist party and super-liberals on the left. Most important, it's holding together, getting stuff done and muting the hyperpolarization that was making Israel ungovernable."
But it isn't just Biden-Cheney that would do the trick. He has a whole slew of conservatives he would love to see running the country: Joe Biden and Lisa Murkowski, or Kamala Harris and Mitt Romney, or Stacey Abrams and Liz Cheney, or Amy Klobuchar and Liz Cheney. (I know, Stacey Abrams isn't a conservative and I'm surprised too to have seen Friedman throw her into his toxic brew.) He wants to share his brain fart with Steven Levitsky, a political scientist and co-author of How Democracies Die.
America is facing an existential moment, Levitsky told me, noting that the Republican Party has shown that it isn't committed any longer to playing by democratic rules, leaving the United States uniquely threatened among Western democracies.
That all means two things, he continued. First, this Trump-cult version of the GOP must never be able to retake the White House. Since Trump has made embracing the Big Lie-- that the 2020 election was a fraud-- a prerequisite for being in the Trump GOP, his entire cabinet most likely would be people who denied, or worked to overturn, Biden's election victory. There is no reason to believe they would cede power the next time.
"In a democracy," Levitsky said, "parties lose popularity and they lose elections. That is normal. But a democracy cannot afford for this Republican Party to win again because they have demonstrated a ton of evidence that they are no longer committed to the democratic rules of the game."
So Biden-Cheney is not such a crazy idea? I asked.
"Not at all," said Levitsky. "We should be ready to talk about Liz Cheney as part of a blow-your-mind Israeli-style fusion coalition with Democrats. It is a coalition that says: 'There is only one overriding goal right now-- that is saving our democratic system.'"
That brings us to the second point. Saving a democratic system requires huge political sacrifice, added Levitsky. "It means AOC campaigning for Liz Cheney" and it means Liz Cheney "putting on the shelf" many policy goals she and other Republicans cherish. "But that is what it takes, and if you don't do it, just look back and see why democracy collapsed in countries like Germany, Spain and Chile. The democratic forces there should have done it, but they didn't."
To put it differently, this Trump-cult version of the GOP is trying to gain power through an election, but it's trying to increase its odds of winning by gaming the system in battleground states. America's small-d democrats need to counter those moves and increase their odds of winning. The best way to do that is by creating a broad national unity vehicle that enables more Republicans to leave the Trump cult-- without having to just become big-D Democrats. We all have to be small-d democrats now, or we won't have a system to be big-D or big-R anythings.
That is what civic-minded Israeli elites did when they created a broad national unity coalition whose main mission was to make the basic functions of government work again and safeguard the integrity of Israel's democracy.
Such a vehicle in America, said Levitsky, should "be able to shave a small but decisive fraction of Republican votes away from Trump." In a tight race, it would take only 5 or 10 percent of Republicans leaving Trump to assure victory. And that is what matters.
This is the democratic way of defeating a threat to democracy. Not doing it is how democracies die. I am quite aware that it is highly unlikely; America does not have the flexibility of a parliamentary, proportional-representation system, like Israel's, and there is no modern precedent for such a cross-party ticket. And yet, I still think it is worth raising. There is no precedent for how close we're coming to an unraveling of our democracy, either.
As Levitsky put it: "If we treat this as a normal election, our democracy stands a coin flip's chance of survival. Those are odds that I don't want to run. We need to communicate to the public and the establishment that this is not a normal donkeys-versus-elephants election. This is democracy versus authoritarians."
This is not for the long term, noted Levitsky: "I want to get back as quickly as possible to where I can disagree with Liz Cheney on every policy issue"-- and that is the most we have to worry about-- "but not until our democracy is safe."
In other words: embrace conservatism and all the poison that goes with or the Nazis will kill us all. How about, instead, Mr. Friedman, embrace progressivism and all that goes with or the Nazis will kill us all? Did that even ever cross your mind? Or only progressives need to make sacrifices and progressive ideas are terrible anyway, is that the point? I feel sorry for poor Levitsky being dragged into your terrible idea.

Why Our Brains Love Stories And How Our Bodies React
"We always hear people say 'I don't have a creative bone in my body,' which is total BS because we all know that creativity isn't a bone. It's a muscle. And just like our muscles, we have to train them in order to make them stronger." - Noah Scalin To be great storytellers, we simply have to practice. Most of us don't have time to put in the 10,000 hours to become experts, but if we understand the science behind storytelling, we can hack the process. While storytelling conti

The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that the state controls rivers running through Alaska's federal conservation lands.
In its second consideration of a case filed against the National Park Service by Anchorage resident John Sturgeon, the high court found state rivers are basically exempt from NPS regulation.
On the most basic level, the Supreme Court ruling means John Sturgeon can again operate his hovercraft during fall moose hunts on the Nation River in Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve.
"This last Saturday, I actually took it out, turned the key and, by golly, it worked," Sturgeon said. "So I'm all ready to go."
Sturgeon said he rebuilt the small hovercraft over the winter in hope that the Supreme Court would rule, in his favor, that Alaska rivers are not subject to park service regulation. He said he spent over a decade and more than a million dollars trying to prove through the courts that Alaska rivers are different.
"One of the things we tried to stress all the way through is that these are our highways, like I-5 in Oregon and Washington and California," Sturgeon said. "If people want to go to their fish camp or want to go moose hunting, they use these rivers just like highways. And the idea is that they shouldn't be restricted by the federal government. And that's exactly what the Supreme Court said."
The ruling relies on interpretations of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act and federal water rights, and it affirms that other private property inside conservation units — including Alaska Native lands — are free from park regulation.
"Both the state's-end holdings and Native-end holdings was upheld," said Alaska Federation of Natives President Julie Kitka.
Kitka said AFN is pleased with the ruling, which also specifically says it does not alter Katie John case rulings backing federal subsistence fishing management on Alaska rivers.
"There was a footnote that clearly indicated the Supreme Court's wish to keep those (rulings) intact," Kitka said.
The National Park Service issued a two-line response to the ruling.
"We thank the Supreme Court for their ruling this morning, and we are reviewing the decision to determine what changes will be necessary to bring existing policy in line with today's ruling," National Park Service Alaska Regional Park Office spokesperson Megan Richotte said.
"It's important to us that the National Park Service is in a position to protect the resources that the Park Service was given jurisdiction over for all Americans." said National Parks Conservation Association Alaska Regional Director Jim Adams.
Adams noted that a concurring opinion within the Supreme Court ruling leaves some wiggle room for the NPS to regulate hovercraft use which erodes river banks.
"That's just one example," Adams said. "I imagine any use on the river that washes up on the shore would be something that the Park Service would have a say in."
As for the man behind the long-running dispute, Sturgeon said the unanimous Supreme Court victory ends his legal battle. And at 74 years old, he plans to retire and do more moose hunting.

About With and For Part 1: A Great Conference
The IIT ID's About, With, and For conference was my second favorite conference experience this year, after the IA Summit.
The success of the conference was largely due to the focus of the topic -- methods for synthesizing user research to provide insights and concepts that lead to better product design. The specificity meant a deep look at what is perhaps *the* essential step in the user-centered design process. No matter how expert you were, you couldn't help but learn something new.
I missed the pre-conference workshops (I had to make my pilgrimage to Quimby's), but heard they went brilliantly. 6 different workshops took place simultaneously, each offering a different approach to synthesizing user research. In conversation afterward, Steve Portigal captured the experience as such, "It was like one of those comedy movies or television shows where you open the door and something that you didn't expect is happening. About half way in to the workshops, I visited each of them, and in one room you had people analyzing 30 sec videos, in another was a whiteboard session you'd expect at a consultancy, another featured arts-and-crafts with scissors and paper, in yet another a room was silent as people were writing their thoughts..." If nothing else it showed the remarkable range of approaches to making sense of what we observe.
The conference itself was a single day. I had the fortune of kicking it off with my talk, "Then a Miracle Occurs...", which I presaged in a prior peterme post, and which I'll write up more completely at some point in the future. The title comes from the following Sidney Harris cartoon:
Which for me, captures this notion that we get user data, and through some mechanations, produce something that directly informs the design. How do we do that?
[Note: I *just* now discovered that my business partner Jesse James Garrett uses the same cartoon to illustrate a similar, but different, point in his rumination on the practice of information architecture.]
A later presentation by Michael Winnick, a student at ID, labelled a similar mystery in the product design process. How we get from business requirements (often captured in a marketing requirements document) to a spec. He labelled the void in between as "Terra Incognita," which made me think of unchartered waters. If I give my keynote talk again, maybe instead of the cartoon, I'll do up some cartography with "here be dragons."

MANILA, Philippines – With improved ties between the Philippines and Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping has been a recurring figure in national affairs.
It seems Xi's presence will continue to be felt over the next coming years, as he was reelected to a new term last March.
His leadership at present sees no end as China's parliament abolished presidential term limits enshrined in their constitution, and no heir to the seat has been named.
The strongman, whose ties with President Duterte remain strong, is set to embark on a state visit to the Philippines from November 20 to 21 – the first visit of a Chinese president in 13 years.
Princeling's rise to politics
Xi Jinping is no stranger to politics. Xi's father, Xi Zhongxun, was the former vice premier and one of the founding fathers of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
Xi is seen as a "princeling" in the country, a term associated with children of prominent officials of the revolutionary party. Despite his privileged background, however, he experienced life from the grass roots after having been exiled to a remote village after his father's imprisonment in the 1960s.
Working his way up, he entered politics back in 1974 after finally being accepted as member of the Communist Party. He was first assigned party secretary of Hebei province, then took on higher roles such as becoming party chief of Shanghai and, eventually, vice president of China in 2008.
Later, Xi joined the Politbury Standing Committee – the party's decision making body – and obtained top positions as general secretary and chairman of the Central Military Commission in 2012.
He was elected president in 2013 by the National People's Congress, succeeding Hu Jintao.
China dream and global initiative
As president, Xi envisioned the "Chinese dream," or the overall rejuvenation and uplifting of the welfare of the entire nation as well as each citizen's personal well-being. This dream was realized through various policies, both national and international, to boost the country's economy, society, and diplomacy.
At the national level, Xi launched a sweeping campaign against graft and corruption in 2012, which punished more than one million low and high officials in the party as of 2017. Critics, however, see the campaign as Xi's attempt to neutralize his political rivals.
He also imposed an anti-poverty drive in 2017, with a pledge to eradicate poverty in China by 2020. This facilitated a wave of relocations around the country, moving those within the poverty line to new, government-built apartment complexes.
The decades-old one-child policy in China was also halted, with the country shifting its focus toward a more open health and population development.
Xi's presidency has also propelled China's influence to the global sphere, particularly with its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) that aims to link the economic circles in East Asia and Europe, connecting China – on land and over water – to partners in Asia, Europe, and Africa. This initiative is set to bring in more investments, trade, and cultural exchanges between China and its partnered countries.
While the BRI is seen as an economic booster for Asia's regional giant, it faces a stumbling block due to international tensions over China's claims in the disputed South China Sea.
Setbacks, controversies
In spite of Xi's reforms, his leadership still suffers from major setbacks in human rights, freedom of speech, and diplomatic disputes.
Online censorship continues to proliferate in China with its content closely monitored by the Communist party. Tighter cyber regulations have been imposed, such as live video streaming censorship and a 14-month "clean up" campaign on internet service providers and devices that use tools to circumvent the strict ruling. (READ: China orders tech firms to ramp up censorship)
The Chinese dream also turned sour for activists, rights lawyers, and journalists as the state renewed efforts in its crackdown against civil society in what analysts perceive as a way to muffle dissent.
Other countries – the Philippines included – have also been caught in a feud with China over trade and territorial disputes.
Despite ongoing talks on the contested South China Sea which also involves other countries like Vietnam and Japan, more than 1,600 Chinese structures have been set up in the area as of May 2018.
Nearly 800 of these structures can be found in the West Philippine Sea, the part of the South China Sea that belongs to the Philippines.
Military activities in the disputed waters have also increased tensions among countries. (READ: TIMELINE: The Philippines-China maritime dispute)
China has also been embroiled in a trade war with the United States, after the US imposed tariffs on Chinese products over alleged unfair trade practices.
China refused to back down, however, hitting back with tariffs on American goods as well. Beijing also has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization against the US' actions.
Despite months-long negotiations between the world's two largest economies, the rift continues to escalate.– Rappler.com

I was so excited I was in a trance, oblivious to everything except the filthy slut who I was fingering! Jean put her hand on my wrist and my hand came out of her hole with a plop, it was coated with her white pussy cream. Jean then walked me from the bar into the room in front of the guys, I stood in front of one guy and instinctively offered him my hand, the guy was sucking her fanny cream off my fingers, it was turning me on like mad having a bloke suck a woman's cum of my fingers!
He'd got his prick out and was wanking himself whilst he licked my fingers, I was completely transfixed and had fanny juice flooding my panties, I didn't notice when Jean stood behind me and pulled my dress up round my waist, I was now on display, Jean was rubbing her snatch across my butt cheeks, I could feel her hairy bush against me, what a sensation.
The guy in front started to grown and a massive jet of jizz flirted from his prick and landed just above my knee, I then woke up…
After he finished I turned round, Jean was sitting between two guys on a sofa, she had a prick in each hand and her legs were wide opening, they were both fingering her, I could see that the both had at least two fingers in her hole, they were also sucking on her nipples.
I moved to a guy sitting alone, I stood there in front of him with my legs apart, he put his hand forward and began to rub my pussy through my thong, I was that wet he was fingering me through the material, I told him to show me his prick, he pulled it out of his trousers, he was about 6 inch long Ankara bayan escort but rock hard, I leant forward and put my hands on his thighs, I then bent my head and started to suck him off hands free.
By doing this my butt was on display, within a minute I felt my thong being pulled to one side and the guy who'd licked my fingers was licking my crack.He was licking from my clit to my arsehole, it was like a dog lapping up water, his tongue was in my fanny, in my arsehole, sucking my clit, I couldn't hold off and came as he stuck his tongue further up my snatch.
I heard groans and one of the guys that Jean was wanking off was emptying his nuts, it was spraying on het tits, the other guy stood up and plastered her face and hair, she was covered in it. As I watch this, the guy I was sucking pulled his prick out of my mouth and unloaded on me, I swallowed some, some went on my forehead and the rest over my head landing on my back.
The guy was still tonguing my holes and my twat was farting as I came again and again, I was weak at the knees and almost collapsed on the floor.
I came out of my cum stupor and saw Jean, she was now sitting on a massive fucking dong, the guy must have been 10 inch at least, she had her back to him as she rode him so we could all see that massive prick slide up her. David was standing on the side of the chair fucking her mouth with his 7inch prick, in fact, he was fucking her brains out the way he ways ramming his knob in her mouth.
I crawled on my hands and knees to get in front of them and Escort bayan Ankara started to lick the blokes balls, his shaft, her fanny all the same time, she was squelching and I was swallowing everything, I pulled the guys knob out of her hole and licked her juice off his bell end, I then stuck my tongue up her hole and sucked as much of her juice as I could.
Jean said put it in my arse, I held his knob and put the massive head against her butt hole, I watched as it opened her up and about 6 inch slid in, there was still another 4 inch to go!
I shoved two fingers in her fanny, I could feel his prick up her through the membrane, I massaged her and then with a squeal she opened up and I felt the remaining 4inch of his prick slide up her arsehole, he was in up to his balls.
I pulled my fingers out of her hole and shoved my tongue in her, I could feel him fuck her with my tongue, I was cumming with the sensation of what was happening.
I then felt something pushing against my fanny, I looked round and there was another guy trying to get his knob in me, fucking hell, his prick wasn't that long, but it was as fat as a beer can! It'll never go in I thought, the next thing I thought I sat on a litre coke bottle, he was in up to his balls and was fucking me like a piston engine.
It was going in with such a force it was pushing my head into Jeans twat, the guy was ugly but I was squirting funny juice like no tomorrow, I thought my fucking ears had popped.
David then moved from Jeans mouth and his prick nudged my face, Bayan escort Ankara as I looked up it went right in Jeans twat.
I licked his prick as he fucked her whilst I was being fucked silly, God I was loving this.
The guy fucking me tensed and he spunked up me, it felt like a fucking hose pipe had been let off, he must have spunked for 30 seconds.
At the same time both David and the guy up her arse started to cum, they both filled her holes and then pulled out, spunk was dribbling from her.
We both looked a mess, spunk coming out of every hole, spunk on my face and legs, on Jeans face,tits and belly, we were covered in it.
David suggested we clean up, we went to the bathroom, Jean looked at me and said lay on the floor, I lay down as she stood astride my face, she then squatted over my face, both her holes were gaping as spunk and pussy juice dripped out on to me, I grabbed her arse and pulled her cheeks wide apart, I then stuck my tongue in both holes and sucked out all the spunk and funny juice whilst she came again, my legs were spread wide whilst I was doing this and Jean leant forward and sucked my twat, swallowing all the spunk that was gushing out.
When we'd had the last drop, we tidied our clothes, Jean gave me her phone number in case I was interested in doing something like that again with her.
We then went back into the room, all the guys had gone and David gave Jean her coat, a brown envelope and thanked her, she then left.
He turned to me and said Britt you were fantastic, here's a tip for you, instead of giving me 100 bucks, there was 500 bucks, 500 bucks for being fucked silly wow, I thanked him and thought I'd give his cock a quick squeeze before I left, when I put my hand on his prick through his trousers, he was hard as a rock…

What's the most important feature on your smartphone? Is it the camera? The display? The design? The processor? The software and apps it runs? Chances are, it's a combination of all of those things and more. But over the past few weeks I've learned that the most important feature on my smartphone is none of the above; it's the battery life. It's a little obvious: if your phone's battery is dead, none of the other features are useful or even matter.
I came to this realization after spending the last month using a six-month-old, midrange Moto Z Play as my primary device. I had impulsively purchased the Z Play late last year when it was on sale for the holidays (down from its already attractive price), but after briefly using it to get some initial impressions and try out Moto's Mod accessories, it sat largely unused for months. That changed in March when Moto finally delivered the Android 7.0 Nougat update to my unlocked model and I took the SIM out of my Google Pixel and put it in the Z Play full time.
At first glance, the Z Play is not very impressive. It's on the larger side, with a chunky, unimpressive design, a lower-resolution 1080p display than many other 5.5-inch phones, and a midrange Qualcomm processor. It doesn't do VR, isn't water resistant to any extent, doesn't have tiny bezels, has a silly fingerprint scanner on the front that doesn't double as a home button, and doesn't have a class-leading camera.
But as my colleague Chris Welch noted in his original review of the Z Play for Verizon, this phone has the best battery life of any device you can purchase right now. Those otherwise unimpressive features — 1080p display, midrange processor, and blocky design, which allows for a large, 3,510mAh battery — combine to provide outstanding longevity between charges. Moto says the device has its "longest lasting smartphone battery ever," but I'll go one further and say the Z Play has the longest-lasting battery of any modern smartphone I've ever used.
The Z Play has the longest-lasting battery of any modern smartphone I've used
For example, according to GSam Battery Monitor, a battery usage monitoring app, I've averaged over seven hours of screen time between charges with the Z Play. That's an actual seven hours that the display was on and I was staring at my phone, either reading, tweeting, emailing, taking pictures, or whatever. Compared to my Pixel, which typically kicks the bucket after two and a half or three hours of screen time, this changes how I use and think about my phone. Even other devices with exceptionally long-lasting batteries, such as the OnePlus 3T or Samsung's S7 Edge, usually only provide four or five hours of screen time before giving up.
On a typical day, I have a long, mostly train-based commute that has me using my phone for a solid two hours before I even arrive at the office. I'll read my Pocket queue, catch up on Twitter, manage email, connect with colleagues on Slack, use my phone as a mobile hot spot, and stream music from Spotify to my wireless headphones or watch YouTube videos during this time. I'll also use my phone to buy coffee and check the status of the subway lines on my way in. When I get to the office, I might take a handful of phone calls, send a few dozen texts, find a spot to get lunch, and use my phone for other miscellaneous tasks throughout the day. By 4PM (or even earlier), I have to charge virtually every other smartphone in order to make sure I have enough juice to last me on the commute home.
But with the Z Play, I don't even think about recharging my phone in the middle of the day. By the time I leave the office, it typically still has 35 to 40 percent battery remaining, which is plenty to last through my demanding commute home and even still be useful when I'm vegging out on the couch in the evening. In my years of reviewing devices, no other smartphone has ever been able to last through my demanding workday like the Z Play can. If I had a less challenging schedule, I could easily see the Z Play going two or three days between charges.
This stellar battery life would be all for naught if the Z Play had showstopping failures in other areas, but that's not the case. It's a little bigger than I'd like, but aside from that, I don't have any issue with the display (I don't care about using my phone for VR, which is really the only reason you'd need higher than 1080p resolution), the processor is more than capable for what I use my phone for, and even the camera is good enough that I don't miss my Pixel when I'm taking photos.
I miss Moto's software additions when I use other phones
The Z Play doesn't have any poorly designed software changes that make it more annoying to use than my Pixel, and in fact, I've grown to appreciate Moto's software additions that my Pixel lacks. The Moto Display feature that shows me notifications whenever I pick up the phone or wave my hand over it is way more reliable than Google's similar Ambient Display, and the double karate chop gesture to turn on the flashlight has become one of my favorite and most-used shortcuts. And Moto has included a useful swipe-up shortcut to make the interface easier to reach with your thumb, which the similarly large Pixel XL doesn't have.
Further, because the Z Play supports Moto's Mod platform, I can take advantage of the JBL SoundBoost speaker for better audio (this is killer for conference calls), Mophie's Juice Pack battery mod for even longer stamina (a fully charged Z Play and Mophie mod will cover me from Friday to Monday without needing to plug in all weekend), or Incipio's Vehicle Dock, which is perhaps my favorite Mod accessory. The Z Play shines on its own without the Mods, and I don't think they are a good reason to buy a phone. But if you already have a great phone, the Mod options are just icing on an already tasty cake.
Moto Mods are icing on top of the Z Play's already tasty cake
Before I started using the Z Play full time, I'd constantly check my phone's battery meter throughout the day and worry about when I'd need to charge up. (Hence the reason I use apps like GSam in the first place.) Fast-charging features, which have become standard on Android phones in the past couple of years, have made it a little easier to live with charging in the middle of the day, but nothing has eased my anxiety like the Z Play worry-free battery life. It's one less thing I have to think about during the day, which for me, is invaluable.
I'm sure that I will be tempted by other devices coming out this year (the Galaxy S8's design and display might be too irresistible to for my poor wallet), but each time I've switched my SIM into another phone, it ended up back in my Z Play after less than a day. I hope that in the future other device makers will prioritize battery life the way that Moto did here, without compromising the rest of the features that make my smartphone such an indispensable tool. Until then, I'll be sticking with my Z Play.

About Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo is considered a day of great importance in Mexico as it marks the day in 1862 when President Benito Juarez sent troops to face an invading French army that was marching toward Mexico City.
This annual celebration commemorates the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5th 1862.
The battle took place as the French attempted to carve out a new empire in Mexican territory, which helped to slow down the invading force's advance to Mexico City.
The incident saw the French lose more than 500 soldiers, with the Mexican force losing less than 100 men. The battle took place under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza and saw a smaller Mexican force succeed against a larger French force. General Zaragoza died months after the battle due to illness.
A year after the battle, a larger French force defeated the Mexican army at the Second Battle of Puebla, and Mexico City soon fell to the invaders.
In addition to its importance in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is significant to many Americans.
In fact, the United States celebrates Cinco de Mayo on a much larger scale than Mexico, with parades, battle re-enactments, mariachi music, traditional foods, piñatas and fireworks mark the day. Though for many years Cinco de Mayo celebrations in the US inaccurately promoted Cinco de Mayo as Mexican Independence Day.
Cinco de Mayo is a day to celebrate freedom and liberty, and although Mexican citizens feel very proud of the meaning of Cinco de Mayo it is not a national holiday in Mexico, but it is a school holiday and an official holiday in the State of Puebla where the mentioned battle took place.
