The life of your battery has a direct correlation with your productivity in today's communication centric world. Without your phone or laptop charged you are not going to get much done – how would you? Portable power packs are a dime a dozen and more often than not aren't worth their weight, whilst providing a full charge maybe once or twice they then fizzle out and are rendered useless. Time for an innovation perhaps?
The Kraftwerk fuel cell system is that innovation, with a complete reinterpretation of portable power. Rather than a focus on power storage, Kraftwerk looks at power creation. An internal fuel cell uses lighter gas to generate power within the confines of it's case, providing power for upto a proclaimed 11 iPhone charges (an iPhone charge is now the standard measure of any half-serious charging system).
This puppy looks a little too good to be true, taking the reliance on a wall socket and throwing it out the window. The possibilities of such a device are insane, particularly from the point of view of someone who has just camped the length of Australia's east coast. A portable, renewable iPhone charger is the coolest thing we have seen this year!

text: Lost all my bookmarks some time ago, now I'm trying to find the sites of several holster makers I had saved. They were for very nice hand tooled/stamped designed holsters. The type I've seen worn by the Texas Rangers and several other agencies. I like holsters that seem to exhibit themselves as works of art. Not looking for exotic skins such as Shark, Ostrich, and the like, just super nice hand tooling on horse and/or cow hide. I though I would ask here before spending all the time required to look for them again. Money if no object, just as long as the designs are nice, new, and even strange looking. Thanks!

Kamal Foroughi, who holds dual British-Iranian nationality, was working as a consultant for Malaysian energy company Petronas in Tehran when he was arrested by police in 2011.
He was charged with espionage and later sentenced to eight years in prison, where he has spent the last four years and nine months.
His family insist he is innocent but say the British Government is not doing enough to secure his release.
"We are very worried about his health, both physical and mental, and this is taking a great toll on him," Mr Foroughi's son Kamran told Sky News.
"Sometimes he gets very hopeful that he is about to be released, like in the last few weeks, then when it doesn't happen he gets extremely depressed.
"He just wants to be home again and to see his family."
Kamran Foroughi believes his father was in the wrong place at the wrong time and insists there was no evidence to support allegations on behalf of the Iranian authorities that he was a spy.
"There is no evidence to justify the charge," said Kamran.
"He has maintained his innocence and we were always convinced this was a big mistake.
"We had three years without any contact with him at all, then in 2014 we were allowed regular calls but one of the conditions is that we do not ask him about conditions inside the prison."
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said he was hopeful the Iranians would look positively on the humanitarian case for releasing Mr Foroughi.
"My Iranian counterparts, we expect, will be in London for the Syria conference on Thursday and I shall speak to them about this issue," he told Sky News.
"The Iranians do not recognise dual nationality so they will not discuss him with us on the basis that he is a British national, but they are looking at these cases from a humanitarian perspective.
"Mr Foroughi is an elderly man with health issues and there are very strong humanitarian reasons for exercising the power of clemency that exists in Tehran, and I'm optimistic we will get somewhere."

Exceed Your Vision.
Finish Strong.
We woke early and set out on a day that took much time and effort to bring together. Was it going to rain? or would the skies stay nicely overcast, or would the sun strike out strong. Living here in the Northwest keeps us on our toes when we schedule a shoot on location in a large river. We were working with many different components on this shoot. Would the floating dock stay in place that was constructed for this shoot? We would soon find out! We had a lot riding on this day. So many had worked hard to bring this day together. Now just waiting for the weather to agree with us was forefront on our mind this early morning.
We have been printing our own work for our studio on large format Pro Epson Printers since the year 2000. When I recieved a phone call from Dan Steinhardt, "Dano" marketing manager for the Epson pro division, I was thrilled to learn they were going to feature us in an ad campaign "Finish Strong". Dano headed up the project with collaboration from the terrific team at MC Saatchi LA. He asked me for my bucket list of shots that would come to life in this upcoming ad. This was definitely a busket list thing that was happening in my life and I did not want to fall short. The natural environments that Stevn & I choose to photograph in daily usually do not disappoint. Our mind went immediately to a few different images, the river being our first.
So we set out to embrace the beauty outdoors instead of our studio, this is what we have been known to do for so long. Why stop now?
The stage was set, our local river and the subjects of beautiful sisters floating on the water were to be the heartbeats in the image.
The river is a natural place to find Stevn & I working. Was this going to work however with studio lights in the current of the river and such? How were we going to capture this image with unpredictable weather and water depths? Could we pull it all off and come out with an image that shows the beauty around us as we photograph and capture our image with impact?
With ladders, heavy C stands, sand bags and waders, many crew of art directors, copy writers, make up and hair stylists, grips and the talented Mr. Joe McNally and Dan Steinhardt we all pulled it off without a hitch! It was a long 6 hours in the cold waters, but man alive! Was it ever a blast! All involved are special people to photograph a project like this with, the friendships that emerge from working together are so sweet. We are very grateful.
This next week I will continue to add the stories to our blog that describe the whole Epson experience for us.
We hope to meet many of you at PDN PhotoPlus week in New York City in October, As I will be speaking and educating in a seminar on Saturday, October 27, 4:00pm – 6:00p at Jacob Javits Center.
The program is "Turning the Ordinary into Extraordinary". This is the link for information http://n1b.goexposoftware.com/events/pp2012/goExpo/user/listSeminars.php?ci=96
We also have a surprise announcement that week in New York City! Stay tuned for the surprise announcement here.

Belfast church hosts ABV beer festival
Hundreds of beer fans have packed into a former Victorian-era church in Belfast for a top beer and food festival.
The ABV Festival was organised by three beer fans, including Michael Kerr, Felicia Matheson and Darren Nugent.
Some of the UK, Ireland and Europe's top beers were on show at the weekend, alongside food producers Farm & Food, Pizza Vantastica and Newtownards-based Mike's Fancy Cheese.
Following the event, organisers said: "We've closed that beautiful door to Carlisle Memorial Church after an amazing two days of great beer, great people and great fun."
Now in its second year, ABV brings top brewers to a city venue with history, having been previously held at the former Harland & Wolff drawing offices.

Sharing is caring:
How to Sweep the Floor in Fifty-three Steps
Based on actual events.
- Get inspired. At 3:00 pm the electrician fixing the lights at your house asks, "How old are your kids?" "Big E is nearly four and little g is fifteen months," you say. "I could've guessed something like that based on the mess under your table."
- Blush profusely at how a complete stranger is judging the cleanliness of your house.
Fire the electrician.
Get broom and dustpan out of closet.
Pick up a pink bib, three plastic balls, half a lego car, an old Christmas ornament, a dirty washcloth, a chip clip, a toy excavator, three plush angry birds, one plush green piggy and four markers.
Traipse throughout the house depositing the above items in their appropriate locations.
Notice Big E watching. He asks, "Mom, can I play garbage man too?" Offer him a cardboard box to use as a garbage dumpster. He runs off with the box, smiling.
Walk back to the table to find little g eating a mystery object. Ask, "What's in your mouth?" Try to pry open her tiny jaws while she shakes her head no. Finally extract a half eaten pretzel that she could've only gotten off the floor.
Throw away slobbery half eaten pretzel. Little g wails.
Pull chairs away from table while little g grabs your leg. Her wail turns to screams as she reaches up with a grabby hand, wanting to be held.
Pick little g up and rest her on your right hip. Using your left hand, awkwardly swipe the broom at the layer of crunched up Crispix, shriveled apple bits and last night's now dried out rice that has accumulated under the table.
Sigh and look at little g who is still crying. Put down broom and search for a pacifier. Finally find one under her crib and pop it in her mouth.
Attempt to distract little g with her favorite board book, "Hello, Animals." She takes the bait.
Return to kitchen. Find Big E dumping a collection of two action figures, two dice, a racecar, a firetruck, and the three balls from before on the floor right where you are about to sweep.
In a loud voice say, "NO, Big E, I'm sweeping right here."Big E replies, "But this is the garbage dump!"Take a deep breath and in a falsely excited voice say, "Actually the toy box in your room is the garbage dump. It's like a huge dumpster itself!"See Big E's eyes light up. He says, "OK!"
Help Big E put two action figures, two dice, a racecar, a firetruck and the three balls back in his cardboard box and walk backward toward his room. When he reaches his toy box he lifts the box over his head and dumps the contents out behind his head as if he were a real garbage truck.
Pick up the broom and sweep under one side of the table.
Hear little g say "mamamamamama." She holds "Hello, Animals" out.
Say, "G, I can't read right now. I'm sweeping the floor."
Little g reaches down and picks up a half eaten cracker. Dropping the pacifier out of her mouth she puts the cracker in.
Say, "No, no, no! We don't eat off the floor." Extract the half cracker. Realize that perhaps little g is hungry and put her in her high chair for a snack.
Walk into the kitchen to get a snack for little g and notice that Big E is holding a knife and stabbing the cardboard garbage truck box repeatedly.
In a panic ask, "E, where did you get that?""From the counter," he says. His face is the picture of childhood innocence.Explain that we don't play with sharp knives, and ask him to give you the knife. When he refuses ask, "Do you want a timeout?" He says no and gives you the knife.
Hear little g fuss and realize you still haven't gotten her a snack. Throw some crackers on her tray.
Pick up the broom again and sweep under the other side of the table.
Search all the chairs for the now missing dustpan. Ask, "Where could that have gone?" Search the kitchen with no luck.
Ask Big E, "Have you seen the dustpan?"He says, "Surprise! I disappeared it!" Sigh and ask him to reappear it.
Search for dustpan with Big E. Finally find it in his toy box where it had been deposited during the garbage truck dumping game.
Hear little g crying and see her making grabby hands at the water glass on the table. Get little g her sippy cup.
Little g throws her sippy cup on the ground in a huff, along with the remaining crackers on her tray. See her reach again for the water glass. Give in and help her get a drink out of the water glass.
Try to take the glass away before it smashes on the ground. Little g screams and dumps the rest of water on herself.
Take away glass by force. Remove soaking wet baby from highchair and take her to her room to change clothes.
Remove wet shirt and pants and only then realize that she has a poopy diaper.
Change poopy diaper. Put dry clothes on little g.
Hear Big E calling, "Mom? MOM!" from the other room, volume increasing with every repetition.
Yell, "I'm in here!" so he doesn't panic. Big E comes into little g's room carrying "Hello, Animals."
Read "Hello, Animals" to Big E and little g.
Try to go back to sweeping after "Hello, Animals" is finished but stay after both Big E and little g vociferously protest. Read the book four more times.
Notice Big E grabbing his crotch and announce that it's time for a potty break. Accompany him to the bathroom so he can do his business.
Pick up broom and dustpan and return to table area. Resweep the first section since little g's snack is now on the floor.
Hear Big E pull a stool over to the kitchen counter. Wonder what he is doing while you sweep the first pile of floor scraps onto the dustpan.
Walk with dustpan to garbage can. See Big E on kitchen floor stabbing his cardboard box with the knife. Have the following conversation:"What are you doing?""I'm chugga, chugga, chugging with this jackhammer.""E, that is not a jackhammer it's the knife that I SPECIFICALLY asked you not to play with. It's not safe. You are not being very obedient." Try to take knife."No, I WANT IT!" he yells."TIME OUT" you yell.
Remove knife from Big E's hand, luckily without drawing blood. Carry Big E kicking and screaming and place him on the time out chair.
Set timer for Big E's time out while trying to ignore his screaming. See that Big E has climbed off the time out chair. Have the following conversation:"You're in time out. Get back on the chair!""NO. I DON'T WANT A TIME OUT!""You have to have a time out. Do you want it here on the chair or do you want to go in the bathroom?""NOOOOO!" Big E runs around the kitchen island as you chase him to get back into the time out chair. You catch him and carry his writhing body into the bathroom.
Once again, you set the timer for Big E's time out. He continues screaming from the bathroom and then comes out and defiantly flops over the time out chair. Have the following conversation:"Your time out's not over. Go back in the bathroom.""NO! I want the chair!""You chose the bathroom when I had to chase you earlier. Get back in the bathroom. NOW!"
Move the time out chair into the bathroom with Big E still on it. Reset the timer for a third time. Stand holding the bathroom door knob while Big E pulls violently on the other side until the timer rings.
Pick up little g who has joined her brother in crying and is once again begging to be held.
Go into Big E's room. Attempt to calm yourself and your crying children down through distraction. Build a block tower and knock it down with construction machine toys.
Big E and little g see what you're doing. You let them knock down the next three towers, then show them how to make their own. When they are both engrossed in their play sneak out.
Pick up broom and dustpan. Sweep remaining pile onto dustpan and bring to garbage can.
Smile with satisfaction as you dump the dustpan and close the lid. Notice the time: 4:25 pm. Lose smile as Big E says, "Mom, I'm hungry. Can I have a snack?" realizing that the floor will once again need sweeping.
An hour and a half, a snack and a dinner come and go. After dinner husband comments, "Wow, our floor is really dirty."
Resist the urge to punch him in the face.

Along with your home and workplace, vehicles also need to be prepared for the upcoming winter season. It is very important to fully check and winterize your vehicle, which includes having a mechanic check your battery, antifreeze, wipers, windshield washer fluid, ignition system, thermostat, lights, exhaust system, heater, brakes, and oil levels.
If you must travel during winter conditions, it is best not to travel alone. Try to plan your travel during the day, and make sure to let others know your destination, route, and when you expect to arrive. Make sure to keep your gas tank near full to avoid ice in the tank and fuel lines.
Always carry a Winter Storm Survival Kit in your car!!
Mobile phone, charger and batteries . Flashlight with extra batteries . First-aid kit. Knife. Shovel. Tool Kit. Tow rope. Battery booster cables. Compass and road maps. A windshield scraper and brush or small broom for ice/snow removal. Blankets and sleeping bags, or newspapers for insulation. Rain gear, extra sets of dry clothes, socks, mittens, and stocking caps. Large empty can to use as emergency toilet. Tissues, paper towels, and plastic bags for sanitary purpose . Small can and waterproof matches to melt snow for drinking water. Cards, games, and puzzles. High calorie, non-perishable food, such as canned fruit, nuts, and high energy "munchies" (Include a non-electric can opener if necessary). A small sack of sand or cat litter for generating traction under wheels and a set of tire chains or traction mats. A brightly colored (preferably red) cloth to tie to the antenna.

Recap and analysis of the week in state, and federal, government
from State House News Service
BOSTON — House Speaker Robert DeLeo sent Gov. Charlie Baker a clear, if not slightly unconventional, message this week about the state's ballooning Medicaid program and the governor's somewhat unpopular plan to tax employers to pay for it:
You want it? You own it.
The $40.3 billion House budget plan released this week by Rep. Brian Dempsey and his Ways and Means Committee essentially punted the issue of an employer assessment to help pay for MassHealth back to the Republican administration.
The draft budget greenlights the Department of Revenue and its commissioner, former Republican state treasurer candidate Michael Heffernan, to develop and implement an assessment on employers that don't provide health coverage to most of their employees at any level it deems fit.
Dempsey did say the state only needs about two-thirds, or $180 million, of the money originally targeted by Baker from his $2,000-per-worker assessment, but there's nothing to stop Baker from going for the whole pie. The only stipulation from House leaders is that the administration consider some of the critiques made by businesses over the past few months.
That's not to say the plan absolves House Democrats who vote for the budget of any responsibility should the debate over the assessment turn sour. Those who vote for this budget will, in essence, be writing Gov. Baker a blank check and accepting anything that comes after.
Senate President Stanley Rosenberg's overtly diplomatic response also seemed to belie some apprehension with the House approach of deferring to Baker. "Everyone approaches things in their own way," he said.
Dempsey said he believes the administration has been talking in good faith with the business community about how to refine the proposal, and is confident that a compromise can be found.

SACKED Warriors mentor Matthew Elliott has not ruled out coaching again and blasted suggestions the club's Polynesian players do not respond to Australian coaches.
In his first interview since being fired by the Warriors, Townsville-raised Elliott opened up about his second termination in three years after his demise at Penrith.
The 49-year-old refuses to be bitter about his latest axing, but he spoke of the multitude of "myths'' that pervade the Warriors.
One is that the Auckland club is best left to a born-and-bred Kiwi coach who understands the cultural nuances of their large contingent of Polynesian players.
Player power was allegedly behind Elliott's shock dismissal on Monday, but he defended his relationship with the group.
The Warriors' two grand final appearances were orchestrated by Australia-born coaches Daniel Anderson (2002) and Ivan Cleary (2011), Elliott's successor at Penrith.
"That is overstated really, I never felt having an Australian coach is an inhibiting factor. They are a great group of guys,'' Elliott said.
"There's so many myths around the Warriors. One is the one (about Australian coaches), the other one is the talk around the massive Warriors pack.
Just-appointed @NZWarriors acting head coach Andrew McFadden on media duty this afternoon #WarriorsForever pic.twitter.com/Fy81ENwQmI
— Vodafone Warriors (@NZWarriors) April 7, 2014
"It's not a massive pack, it's nowhere near the biggest in the comp. It's a stereotype.
"I don't know where it comes from but South Pacific Islanders and Polynesian players are all through the comp.
"The Warriors have a good representation (of Polynesians) but I think that is simply false. It is based on the thoughts of people who don't understand what really goes on at the club.
"There is always some adaptations you make from club to club, but if someone blindfolded you at the Warriors or another NRL club, you wouldn't know any different.
"That cultural stuff is not an issue.''
Warriors officials tried to peddle the line Elliott resigned, but his sentiments on Monday suggested he was pushed out of his Auckland office.
The former Canberra coach is packing up the contents of his home and will return to Australia as soon as possible.
While his coaching career is in tatters, pragmatic Elliott is determined to pick up the pieces and believes he has a future in the NRL.
"I wouldn't rule out coaching again,'' he said.
"I got involved in some strategic stuff here at the Warriors and I feel I've got a fair bit to offer there. I'm not limited in what I can do.
"I really feel I have a bit to offer this competition. In what guise that is, I have some time to think about that.
"I'm handling it OK. In the grown-up world, you have to take this stuff on the chin.
"The decision has been made. It doesn't matter what I think. I'm getting on with the game.''
Asked if he feared the axe was coming, Elliott said: "Whether I knew it was coming or not, it wasn't going to change it, so the best way is to be respectful of that.
"It's not about wording around decisions and it's not about whether you agree or disagree. It's like on the field, the referee makes a call. You can moan about it all you like, but it won't change what happens.
"I really believe from when I started to now, we made significant improvement across the club. I hope Cappy (caretaker Andrew McFadden) gets an opportunity to build on that. He is ready to be a first-grade coach.
"Every coach has a different approach. I will stick my hand up and say I could have done some things better. I won't be selfish or petulant. I have to pick myself up and get ready for the next chapter.''

One of my favourite cities. Visited five times ( last, in Oct 2014)
I always stay north of Retiro park in elegant Salamanca district .
Hotel Jardin de Recolrtos.
Madrid has excellent public transit....easy to get around
Some posters prefer staying closer to Mayor or Santa Ana or Prado.
Easy day trips to Toledo, Segovia, Aranjuez and more...

Madrid is also one of my favourite cities.
I've previously posted these suggestions:
Have breakfast or lunch at Café del Círculo de Bellas Artes in down town Calle Alcalá, 42. One of the city's most emblematic cafés. Grab a window table and watch Madrid life on bustling Calle Alcalá. Take the lift up to the roof topp terrace (the azotea) for great views of the city. http://www.esmadrid.com/en/cargarAplicacionNoche.do?identificador=179
Watch the sunset over the Guadarrama mountains from the terrace at El Ventorrillo in the Vistillas park. Great pollo al ajillo (garlic chicken), some say the best in town. Map, video and some pictures: http://11870.com/pro/restaurante-ventorrillo
Have lunch or some tapas at Casa Granada, on the 6th floor of an apartment building just off Plaza Tirso de Molina. Hard to find and an excellent terrace. http://www.tripfilms.com/Travel_Video-v63831-Madrid-Where_To_Eat_in_Madrid_Casa_Granada-Video.html
Café Central, just off bustling Plaza Santa Ana, is a fabulous jazz venue with live performances from the best artists every night at 10. Artists shift every week. Entrance 15€. Good food also. Populart, a little further down the street, is also a great place. http://www.cafecentralmadrid.com/
Experience world class flamenco at one of the best tablaos. Madrid is arguably the flamenco capital of the world. Although the art form comes from the South (Andalucía), everybody has to conquer Madrid to get to the top. On their way there, or as an opportunity to try out new things and get an up close audience, many of them work the top tablaos. I recommend Casa Patas and Cardamomo, both close to Plaza Santa Ana.
A stroll in the beautiful Retiro Park. http://www.aviewoncities.com/madrid/parquedelretiro.htm
Asturian Casa Mingo for the best grilled chicken and cider: http://www.casamingo.es/
Watch the video, and you're sold:
Txirimiri in Calle del Humilladero, 6 gives you an idea of why the Basque kitchen is considered among the best in the world. In the midst of one of the best tapas/restaurant districts in town, in and around Calle Cava Baja in La Latina.
I never leave Madrid without having had the squid in its own ink and the famous cod at Casa Revuelta, also in the same district.
The Reina Sofia contemporary art museum. The second floor with Picasso, Dalí, lots of other painitings, posters, films, photos etc., dealing with a couple of the greatest civilizational breakdowns of the 20th century, the Spanish Civil War and WWII, completely blew my mind off a couple of years ago.
(And of course Prado and the Thyssen-Bornemisza museums)

1) Museums- Prado and Reina Sofia for Guernica which is simply amazing in person.
2) Él Retiro Park. Beautiful gardens with fish in the lake and entertainment for families.
3) Él Corte Ingles- department store in the city center with a wonderful 7th flr view.
4) La Mallorquina at Puerta del Sol-for some of the best pastries and café con leche in the city. It's an institution. Stand at the bar on the ground floor for the best experience.
5) I took the Madrid City Walk offered by the Tourist Office. While it only went to a few historic neighborhoods, it was a nice intro on the history of the city. Cost was around 12 euros.
6) finally just walking around on a weekend night around 11:30-12am and seeing all the families/people still out walking around.
7) Did I mention the cafe con leche?

I was in Madrid in November. Stayed in the wonderful Hotel Only You which is hip in a very happening and busy (in a good way) area. Retiro Park is my favorite place in the city, especially if you're a runner.
Loved my day trip to Toledo, but preferred Segovia with its fairy tale castle and incredible 2,000 year old aqueduct. Well worth going to and very easy to get around by train.

I loved the museums and so stayed near El Prado, where I was also within easy walking distance of some delightful restaurants and cafes.
I believe the National Archaeological Museum has recently reopened after a long closure.
The Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales is well worth visiting IMO.
I was glad I spent 2 full nights in Toledo, a night in Segovia, and a night in Avila. Many people choose to visit these places as day trips from Madrid. Depends on your interests.

Above is a thread I posted on another site. Scroll down for my itineray in Madrid and some pics are further down the thread. Nothing beats sunset at Temple de Debod and the fountain behind it! Bring a camera and maybe a bottle of wine!

Kja and I seem to have the same Iikes about Madrid (and Spain in general)! I completely agree about Segovia, Avila and Toledo! I recommend multiple nights if you have the time in each (3-4 in Toledo!)

Kja is so correct! This convent is stunning! It is well worth multiple attempts to get in! I think it took me 3 or 4 tries before I could make the cut!

I like staying in the Plaza Santa Ana/ Prado museum area as I find it convenient to other areas in the city. This February we'll be staying at the Westin Palace using Starwood points. Another hotel I like which is less expensive is Catalonia Las Cortes.
You've gotten some very good advice above. Yes, by all mean include a stroll in Retiro park. Hopefully you'll have decent weather in April. We've lucked out even in March.
Try and visit Mercado San Miguel, near Plaza Mayor. A fun way to try tapas.

Your food and museum suggestions have me drooling...terrific list thanks so much. I think we may only have time for 1 day trip and so far Segovia is the top contender, thanks travellingdad! I'm more of a jogger slash brisk walker slash lazy stroller so I like the idea of being close to Retiro Park south of the Salamanca area but still considering other areas, thanks cruiseluv.
danon, continuing to love all your recs...wow 5 times in Madrid! This will be our first time {going with bf}. What would you say is the best mode to get around the city from Salamanca?
kya and joannyc, great minds think alike...thank you! Debod Temple looks amazing, took serious note to bring a bottle. Any tricks on how to get in the convent the first attempt? I'm reading through both your Spain threads and learning a lot.

El Corte Inglés stores have a grocery store in the basement level. Great place to pick up wine, cheese, snacks.... and olive oil to bring home! I love, love, love Fuenroble Olive Oil!
My nephew bought a couple of bottles on Amazon as a Christmas present for me this year. Shipping charges are quite high. But, in previous years, I've bought a couple of bottles or cans in El Corte Ingles and brought it home with me.
Also, a nice place to buy fashionable scarves.

I stay close to Retiro.....there are several metro stops ( Retiro and Banko De Espana) , bus lines and Cercania near by. Salamanca is a good size area.
A walk to Prado is about 10min...., I also walk to Sol , Mayor and even further...
if you don't stay in Salamanca, take a walk through its lovely streets ..and do some window
shopping ...they call it :barrio de dinero ( neighbourhood of the wealthy)
Many posters prefer to be closer
to Sol ( the very centre of Madrid) ...and Mayor with many restaurants, tapas bars etc..
Before you decide on the hotel, take a look at the metro map of Madrid . It is impressive.

"Any tricks on how to get in the [Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales] the first attempt?" Sorry, no. Just a bit of a warning: Many groups of people have just one person stand in line, so the line seems to move exceptionally slowly and it often looks like people are cutting in. I remember thinking that i was something like 16th in line, but I had to wait through 2 full cycles because of that. But it was worth it IMO!

And, because they speak only Spanish, I had no idea what the nun was saying. Another tourist told me she said there were no more tours that day as they walked away. But, a number of people remained hanging out so I asked someone why. She told me that the nun said another tour may start in a 1/2 hour. So finally, after my previous unsuccessful attempts to get in, I finally made it in! Woohoo!!!

Thanks danon, the metro map looks simple and efficient. I agree, won't miss strolling in your hood if we don't end up staying in Salamanca. Haven't solidified hotel yet but thinking of The Principal, Palacio de Tepa, maybe the Fenix...rooftop terrace would be wonderful.
My bf came up with the brilliant idea to visit Rioja to check out the wineries & the Gehry hotel. We'll be coming from San Sebastian with a car and staying maybe a night or two?

You'll need reservations to visit the wineries in the Rioja, but there are a few now with wine bars, including the Bodegas Marques de Reical (check out Maribel's Guide to the Rioja for additional information and recommendations).
For staying in the Rioja, near Elciego, you can see if Villa de Álbalos (www.hotelvilladeabalos.com) has anytime available, and for a great 4-star, try Hotel Viura in Villabuena de Álava (www.hotelviura.com). If not to your taste, then you can stay at the Villa de Laguardia (en.hotelvilladelaguardia.com), a few minutes north of Elciego.

Be sure to go tasca hopping. That is you go from tapas bar to another tasting their specialties. I have not been in Madrid in a few years, so I do not like giving recommendations as things may have changed.
There is also a little visited the Royal Tapestry Factory. here is a description form Frommer's:
At this factory, founded nearly 300 years ago by Philip V and located a short walk southeast of Atocha railway station, the age-old process of making exquisite (and very expensive) tapestries is still carried on with consummate skill. Nearly every tapestry is based on a cartoon of Goya, who was the factory's most famous employee. Many of these patterns, such as The Pottery Salesman, are still in production today. (Goya's original drawings are in the Prado.) Some of the other designs are based on cartoons by Francisco Bayeu, Goya's brother-in-law.
Also on Sundays is the Rastro, supposedly the world's largest flea market. While there is junk, there is also some interesting for sale.
Here is some of impressions from my last trip to Madrid:
I am standing next to a framed poster of a toilet system. Sunday morning at El Rastro, an outdoor flea market, finds possibly a thousand vendors, that weaves in and around an area near the Plaza Mayor. It is the grandeur of junk, an old fashioned diving bell helmet sits on the ground waiting to be purchased and the pure practicality of inexpensive clothing, and the same sophomoric T-shirt humor found in English, now available in Spanish-Sex Instructor-First Lesson Free. Ramones T-shirts were also on sale at more than one stand.
You hear the gravelly voice of old Spanish men and women; others look like Uncle Junior, while the tragically hip look for the de rigor sunglasses. The tradition of El Rastro is 500 hundred years old and I think one of the original vendors is still selling socks.
It has a reputation for pickpockets which is countered by a large police presence.
Also on Sunday morning philatelists and numismatists gather at the Plaza Mayor where maybe 50 vendors sell stamps, money, and coins. There were a number of envelopes (called covers in English and sobres in Spanish) which were stamped censored after the Spanish Civil War. There were also mourning covers, bordered in black, which were sent in sympathy before stamps were used.
Seeking sanctuary I stopped in the Church of San Isidro, the patron saint of Madrid. It has beautiful terra cotta statuary and the reliquary of the saint and his wife. I am always skeptical of who is buried where. I was also curious who is attending Mass. No surprise the vast majority where over 55.
Had a decent meal behind the Plaza Mayor, with a very good gazpacho. When you are in the Plaza there is a statue. Follow the horse's behind and make a left.
Reina Sofia
The Museum is across the street from the busy Atocha Station. The building looks like an amalgam of different uses with the elevators added on the outside while the inside varies from an now enclosed cloister to an office building.
There are two floors of permanent exhibits the 2nd and 4th and both are Spanishcentric.
The 4th floor is filled with post war Spanish artist with a Motherwell thrown in. The second floor has the name brands-Picasso, Dali, Gris, Miro, occasionally interrupted by a Kandinsky, Magritte, or Tanguy. They do have an exceptional collection of photographs particularly Man Ray's gelatin silvers including those of his friends Bunel, Dali, and Andre Breton. There are also photos of the Spanish Civil War some which were taken by Robert Capra.
The Dalis remind us that he was a brilliant, inventive craftsman who added thoughtful and quirky touches. There are pieces from his twenties to his nineties. The later paintings demonstrate a simplicity toward his work.
The focal point of the museum is Guernica and the attendant studies. There is great controversy even now whether it should have been moved from an annex of the Prado. To me, this is a family fight. It remains one of the greatest pieces of art, an apologetic anti-war statement.
Other pieces I found interesting were:
Daniel Vazquez Diaz, La Fabrica Dormida (1925). It is at once both very industrial and dreamy.
Sculpture by Julio Lopez Hernandez, Pareja de Artesano (1965). It is older couple in front of a workbench filled with tools. It is made from wood, polyester and The detail of the faces, clothes, and tools is wonderful.
Eduardo Arroyo, Madrid-Paris-Madrid (1965). This is a two panel work which depicts the artist leaving Madrid as a clown returning to Madrid from Paris, as basically the same artist but personally more sophisticated. Very clever.
I went to the Thyssen Museum which is in a renovated palacio. The walls where the collection is hung are salmon colored (I guess they can turn into the world's largest restaurant if things go bad.) The lighting is a combination of indirect natural lighting and electric. Those paintings that have glass have a glare. Although the collection is arranged chronologically, the works are laid out on both sides of a corridor with rooms off the corridor. You look like a drunk as you zig zag across the hall. I also lost track of what I saw in the rooms and did not see. The guards are always speaking in knots, so I think we can conspire to borrow a few paintings.
It is hard to believe that a family who started the collection in the 1920's amassed so many pieces. They start in the 1300's and proceed through the late 20th century. There are Dutch masters, impressionists, and a number of Americans including Sloan, Homer, and Copley. They seemed fond of the Hudson River School of art and befriended Lucian Freud.
Some of my favorites are:
Hugo Erfurth with Dog by Otto Dix (1913)
Carl Lee Schmidt by Oskar Kokoshka (1911)
Corner House by Ludwig Meidner (1913)
And the wittiness of Max Ernst
We can also blame Ferninad Bol for painting Young Man with Feather (1647. It is probably the first known portrait of the idiotic pose that many writers are given to these days, with one finger across the chin and the rest of the fist supporting the chin.
There was also one called Reclining Nude Shepherdess by Berthe Morisot (1891). I may be wrong, but I don't think you see too many reclining naked shepherdesses.
I then went to Retiro Park. There was a classical orchestra rehearsing. They were playing familiar parts of famous pieces. I cannot remember all the names but you know the one that goes da-da-di-da. Well anyway. There was Pachelbel's Canon, 1812 Overture, and Swan Lake. The played Swan Lake mighty fast and all I can think of is the dancers racing crazily around the stage.
I just ran down from the hotel room, it sounded like a parade or a fistfight outside. It was a sound truck blaring hip hop and Euro techno music. The DJ was speaking in English "Are you ready?"
I said no and returned to my room.

If you get to the Monasterio de las Descalzas when it opens, they will tell you when there is likely to be an English tour. I did this in March last year and was sent away for an hour. I filled this time with chocolate and churros just up the street.
This is pasted from my notes from my 3 day trip...
MADRID March 2014
I stayed at the Hotel Principe Pio just off the Plaza d'Espana. This was a great location with good bus links, and the metro close by at Plaza d'Espana and Opera. I arrived around 9pm and took a bus up the Gran Via – I was dining at La Barraca on Calle de la Reina. The Arroz Negro was fabulous! Taxi back to the hotel was 6 euros.
Next day I walked up through the Old Town (sort of following the Rick Steves tour in reverse) to the Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol.
I waited a short while for an English tour of the Monasterios de las Descalzas – well worth a visit – and then wandered across town, stopping for a delicious snack lunch for 6 euros at Musee de Jamon.
I'd prebooked a ticket for the Prado but was early so I sat in the sun with a glass of wine at El Botanico on Ruiz de Alarcon overlooking the Botanical Gardens.
As someone who is overwhelmed by big museums and has a low-ish boredom threshold, I booked my ticket for the Prado, but did my research first because I knew I really wanted to see and spend time with the Velasquez and el Greco paintings. I noted which rooms had paintings by certain artists whose work I admire, and just went to those rooms. Obviously I saw a lot more, but by planning my visit I could be specific about what I saw. I was at the Prado for a little more than 2 hours which was fine for me.
I took buses back to Plaza d'Espana, and walked up to the Temple of Debod which was close by and open until 6.45pm.
For dinner I took the metro to Latina and found my way to Calle de la Cava Baja and explored the numerous tapas bars along there and on Calle de la Cava Alta.
Next morning I walked through the Sabatini Gardens to the Palacio Real, getting in line about 15 minutes before it opened. I really enjoyed my time spent here.
I love small museums, private collections, and there are 3 wonderful ones in Madrid. The Sorolla, the Lazaro Galdiano and the Cerralbo.
I visited the Sorolla on this morning, finding it absolutely charming and delightful, then walked the short distance to the Lazaro Galdiano, stopping for lunch along the way. I found a stunning el Greco in the Lazaro Galdiano which I spent a long time admiring, and I had him all to myself as this museum was virtually empty.
That evening I took a Tapas Walking tour with Andres Jarabo of Walks of Spain. Not cheap but he comes very highly recommended and is a very charming and nice man with a great knowledge of Madrid, food and wine. I met some interesting people on the tour and it was great fun.
On my last day I walked to the Museo Cerralbo for when it opened at 9.30am and had the place to myself for most of the hour or so I was there. Not just a lovely building with the most amazing staircase and pretty garden, but a glimpse into the lifestyle of a wealthy family a hundred years ago, it is packed with fascinating antiques and artefacts.
I walked over to the Cathedral, then up to the Mercado de San Miguel for lots of snacks and then had lunch across the way at Segun Emma. I did some shopping in the food hall at el Corte Ingles, had a final glass of wine in a café on Plaza Oriente and it was time to collect my bags and make my way back to the airport.

julia, I love how you roll! Thanks for that...equally looking forward to the smaller museums and choc churros. I was thinking of all the ones I need to book ahead of time but might make sense to get the Madrid card. Can someone clarify if the card only allows a one-time entry to each museum, unlike the Paris Museum Pass that allows multiple entry? Doubt we'll have time to go twice to the same museum but good to know.
AND...very important, any recs on where I can get the best paella in town? Thanks!

Spaniards ALWAYS consume the paella for lunch, not dinner. 'Que Si Quieres Arroz Catalina' is a restaurant that serves excellent paella for lunch (1pm to 4pm) from Friday to Sunday. The restaurant is housed in a beautiful building located in the Casa de Campo, the largest park in town.

"Meticulously researched. . . . Too Heavy a Load reads like a wonderful historical novel."Akilah Monifa, Emerge
The title of Rutgers historian White's long-awaited encore to her seminal Ar'n't I a Woman? (1985) may prove prophetic. The book traces the "masculinization of America's racial consciousness"--the shift from judging black progress by the professional or social success of black women to that of black men--but is unlikely to fulfill White's hope of reaching a "lay" audience. White begins with the formation of the National Association of Colored Women in the 1890s, then summarizes black women's participation in the suffrage movement and in the civil rights movements of the 1920s through the 1960s, and concludes with a conference of black women academics and graduate students at MIT in 1994. Structured like a textbook, the work provides capsule accounts of pivotal events in black women's history. It's clear that black women indeed had to "defend" themselves not only in the mainstream but within the black community. Unlike their white counterparts, White notes, black women saw themselves as peers to black men in community-building activities, but conflict arose when the granting of women's suffrage coincided with the rise of a "self-consciously militant black male" in the wake of WWI. While much here has been said before, and without White's often preachy tone, her systematic focus on the ongoing, internal "struggle over the meaning of black masculinity and femininity"--one that has replayed itself each decade as black women seem caught in a kind of Sisyphean tale--will make White's book required reading for college courses in American history. 25 photos.

VIDEO: Fearless shopkeeper in medieval-style duel with machete-wielding robber
A HEROIC shopkeeper beat the odds and defended his business from a masked machete-wielding attacker during a medieval-style joust using a metal pole.
Dramatic CCTV footage shows brave Muhammed Maqsood refusing to back down against the thug when he demanded money from the till at 6am.
As the robber attempted to confront the 63-year-old with his blade, the shop owner grabbed a metal shutter pole and the pair traded blows.
But Mr Maqsood, also known as Max, withstood the attack despite being hit three times with the machete - losing part of his finger - and the masked man ran away empty handed.
"He got me three times, but I used the pole twice and got him once on the shoulder and he ran away"Max
Police released the video of the incident at Max and Sons convenience store in Eden Vale, Sunderland last Saturday.
Max, who has run his shop for 32 years, said: "He was telling me 'give me the money, give me the money' and he showed me the big knife, which was 3ft long.
"I went to the counter and said to him 'cool down' and he followed me. I said 'look, that's where we put the money'.
"He got me three times, but I used the pole twice and got him once on the shoulder and he ran away.
"It was a shock and I've never done anything wrong to anybody."
Acting Detective Sergeant Nick Lawrance added: "The footage is clearly distressing as it shows the man going in armed with the machete and struggling with the shopkeeper.
"This sort of incident is extremely unusual in the area and I'd like to reassure people we're doing everything we can to trace the man in the CCTV."

THE REACH OF WAR: Questions, Pledges, and Confrontations; Report Says Iraq Contractor Is Hiding Data From U.S.
By JAMES GLANZ and FLOYD NORRIS
Published: October 28, 2006
A Halliburton subsidiary that has been subjected to numerous investigations for billions of dollars in contracts it received for work in Iraq has systematically misused federal rules to withhold basic information on its practices from American officials, a federal oversight agency said yesterday.
The contracts awarded to the company, KBR, formerly named Kellogg Brown & Root, are for housing, food, fuel and other necessities for American troops and government officials in Iraq, and for restoring that country's crucial oil infrastructure. The contracts total about $20 billion.
The oversight agency, the Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction, said KBR had refused to disclose information as basic as how many people are fed each day in its dining facilities and how many gallons of fuel are delivered to foreign embassies in Iraq, claiming that the data was proprietary, meaning it would unfairly help its business competitors.
Although KBR has been subjected to a growing number of specific investigations and paid substantial penalties, this is the first time the federal government has weighed in and accused it of systematically engaging in a practice aimed at veiling its business practices in Iraq.
The allegations come at a critical time for the company, as Halliburton is trying to spin off the subsidiary. And in July, the Army announced that it would terminate KBR's largest contract with the government, and the company says that it will compete to regain some of that business when the government calls for new bids.
Proprietary information is protected by the so-called federal acquisition regulations, known as FAR. But the agency said KBR routinely stamped nearly all of the data it collects on its work as proprietary, impeding not only the investigations into the company's activities but also things as simple as managerial oversight of the work.
''The use of proprietary data markings on reports and information submitted by KBR to the government is an abuse of the FAR and the procurement system,'' says a memo released yesterday by the special inspector general.
As a result, the memo said, ''KBR is not protecting its own data, but is in many instances inappropriately restricting the government's use of information that KBR is required to gather for the government.''
The specific examples cited by the inspector general are taken from an $18 billion contract called the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program, informally known as Logcap, under which KBR provides food, fuel, housing, recreational facilities and laundry and other services to American troops, government officials and other contractors in Iraq.
A spokeswoman for Halliburton, Cathy Mann, did not dispute the company's extensive use of the proprietary label but said, ''KBR has included proprietary markings on the majority of its data and property in support of its government contracts for the U.S. Army for at least the last decade.''
That assertion could not immediately be confirmed with the Army. But in its memo, the inspector general's office said that during the course of its investigation, both Pentagon auditors and Army contracting officers had shared serious concerns about the practice.
And a statement released late yesterday by the Army Sustainment Command in Rock Island, Ill., said that it had ''implemented corrective actions relative to the concerns raised'' in the memo.
Ms. Mann added that KBR believed that the use of proprietary markings in work for the United States government ''is not only encouraged, but required'' by federal laws restricting the disclosure of American trade secrets abroad.
With the release of the new memo, that argument is unlikely to gain much traction with members of Congress, federal investigators and the numerous critics who have been calling for access to information on KBR's work in Iraq almost since the invasion ended.
''The arrogance is astounding on the part of KBR,'' said William L. Nash, a retired Army major general who is a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and an expert on postconflict zones. ''It's time for Congress to step in, because this has just gone too far.''
Reaction to the memo on Capitol Hill also revealed that the issue of KBR's performance and investigations of its work are increasingly causing concern on both sides of the political aisle.
Henry A. Waxman, the California Democrat who is the ranking minority member of the House Committee on Government Reform and was one of the earliest critics of KBR's use of the proprietary label, said the new memo showed how the company had tried to conceal ''corporate profiteering during wartime.''
Senator Susan Collins, the Maine Republican who is chairwoman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said, ''I am concerned that the special inspector general has not always had full cooperation and access to the corporate documents that his office needs to carry out its critical mission.''
Access to that information, Senator Collins said, ''helps to ensure that government contractors fulfill their contractual obligations and that government gets the best value for taxpayer dollars. The improper use of proprietary claims impedes critical transparency and makes it more difficult for the inspector general's office to complete essential audits.''

The public-private partnership State of Green has just published the white paper 'Smart Buildings: Combining energy efficiency, flexibility and comfort', which offers a selection of examples and opinions, demonstrating opportunities and lessons learned from different stakeholders across the Danish smart buildings industry, supported by state-of-the-art case examples from across the world.
Buildings account for up to 40% of society's energy demand and thereby play a key role in the green transition. The aim of this white paper is to share best practices on smart buildings that offer more flexibility, comfort and energy efficiency.
Through several state-of-the-art case examples, the publication illustrates the potentials and lessons learned on how to maximise the outcome of implementing smart systems in buildings through innovative architecture, construction, technology, management and user-behaviour.
The publication has already been warmly welcomed by the Danish Minister for Energy, Utilities and Climate, Lars Chr. Lilleholt.-"Smart buildings can increase efficiency and reliability in the overall energy system, storing energy when it is abundant, and then releasing it and shutting down non-essential consumption when demand is high. Obviously, this can reduce peak loads, the need for generation capacity and the risk of blackouts. This may be worthwhile in any energy system, the Minister states in the white paper.Also, the Vice President of the European Commission for the Energy Union, Maroš Šefcovic acknowledges the importance of buildings as part of the green transition:- "The solutions highlighted manifest, once again, that energy efficiency provides Europe's industry with an unparalleled business opportunity. I have often said that the Energy Union was a triple-win Strategy, benefiting the economy, society, and the environment. In your work – you exemplify that! I therefore encourage you to continue. I have no doubt that together we can make Europe the most energy-efficient continent."
View the publication here:
State of Green is a public-private partnership founded by the Danish Government, the Confederation of Danish Industry, the Danish Energy Association, the Danish Agriculture & Food Council and the Danish Wind Industry Association.

Apple hit with nearly $440M judgment in VirnetX patent suit
After losing in its patent dispute trial with VirnetX, Apple has been hit with a $439.7 million judgment after a U.S. district court denied all of the company's motions, TechCrunch reports. That figure is higher than the original $368.2 million ruling against Apple from the 2012 trial, but less than the $625 million figure in last year's decision. On a separate track, all four of the patents in question — which have ties to Apple's FaceTime technology among other applications — have already been invalidated by the Patent and Trademark Office, but that case is still ongoing as well, and is non-binding until all appeals have been exhausted. As for this current court loss, Apple confirmed it is once again appealing the outcome.
Cue talks Apple plans to bring more Indian content to Apple Music
During a tour of India that included meeting with Bollywood stars and the announcement of new Mac labs at KM Music Conservatories, Apple SVP Eddy Cue said the company has a big interest in bringing more Indian music to Apple Music and introducing it to the outside world, The Economic Times of India reports. Apple has been pushing to enter India's market on multiple fronts, and Cue said Apple is working with new and existing artists to make sure customers of Indian descent both within India and around the world see their culture reflected in Apple's content offerings. Cue was mum about rumors of Bollywood collaborations with the company's fledgling video content division, but said, "Bollywood is as good at creating content as anybody else around the world. And I am sure we will do things here because it's a great film and entertainment market."
Qualcomm sues to stop Apple's iPhone sales, production in China
In its latest attack on Apple in their ongoing legal back and forth, Qualcomm has asked China to ban the sale and production of iPhones, Bloomberg reports. Qualcomm filed the new suit in Beijing's intellectual property court, once again claiming patent infringement on technology that controls the iPhone's 3D Touch and power management capabilities, according to Christine Trimble, a company spokeswoman. "Apple employs technologies invented by Qualcomm without paying for them," Trimble said. While it's very unlikely that China would take such a drastic step against such a large employer, analysts see the move as another push to get Apple back to the negotiating table since it has thus far stood firm against Qualcomm's threats — even going so far as to pay the legal bills of its partners who have also been sued by Qualcomm.
Apple expands Apple Pay Cash testing to retail employees
After encouraging some of its corporate employees in the U.S. to test Apple Pay Cash on iOS 11.1, Apple has expanded trial use of the person-to-person money transfer system to retail employees, MacRumors reports. The feature is still absent from the iOS 11.1 developer betas, but Apple's retail retail employees have been given access to both the beta and "an additional internal-only beta profile to unlock the Apple Pay Cash feature." Employees said they also have to have their iCloud accounts whitelisted to access the feature and can only send money to those who have been similarly cleared.
Report: Apple considering offering stylus-compatible iPhone as early as 2019
After debuting the Apple Pencil for the iPad Pro two years ago, the company is reportedly considering making its iPhones compatible with some form of stylus as early as 2019, The Investor reports. While Steve Jobs was famously against introducing a stylus with his touchscreen devices, Apple released the Apple Pencil aimed at artists and designers to mostly warm reviews. Apple also added handwriting and markup functions in iOS 11, making the Apple Pencil more useful across a wider variety of apps. The source claims Apple engineers are currently working on an iPhone that would work with a digital pen and is "also in talks with a couple of stylus makers for a partnership," which could mean the stylus that comes with a future iPhone could be different from the Apple Pencil — possibly more compact.
Apple reportedly moving to Face ID for all 2018 iPhones, getting rid of Touch ID
Well-connected KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims Apple will abandon Touch ID entirely in its 2018 iPhones, opting to use Face ID instead for all models, 9to5Mac reports. Kuo previously said Face ID's fate was dependent on how users reacted to the feature in the iPhone X, but he now believes the device's 3D sensing capabilities will be a "key selling point" for Apple, allowing the company to "capitalize on its clear lead in 3D sensing design and production for smartphones."
Apple releases iOS 11.0.3 with a warning about 'non-genuine replacement displays'
Apple has released iOS 11.0.3, a minor update for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users that addresses specific issues with iOS 11 on older iPhone models — audio and haptic feedback problems on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and unresponsive touch input on some third-party iPhone 6s displays. The iOS 11.0.3 release notes also include a specific caution against "non-genuine replacement displays" emphasizing that "Apple-certified screen repairs are performed by trusted experts who use genuine Apple parts."
Cook: Technology for AR glasses 'not there yet'
With Apple's ARKit opening up new horizons for developers, speculation continues around Apple's rumored project aimed at creating AR glasses, but CEO Tim Cook threw cold water on the idea that the company will be releasing such a product soon in an interview with The Independent. While he refused to comment specifically on what the company has in the works, Cook said, "Today I can tell you the technology itself doesn't exist to do that in a quality way. The display technology required, as well as putting enough stuff around your face – there's huge challenges with that. The field of view, the quality of the display itself, it's not there yet."
Report: iPad Pro may be next device to get TrueDepth camera, Face ID
Well-connected KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims the next iPad Pro will likely be the next device to adopt the iPhone X's TrueDepth camera system that supports Face ID, 9to5Mac reports. Kuo expects the feature to be limited to the iPad Pro models, similar to how it is incorporated into the iPhone X but not the iPhone 8 or 8 Plus. Notably, Kuo doesn't make a prediction about the future of the home button and Touch ID on the iPad Pro, but even if the iPad Pro keeps its home button, Apple's inclusion of the TrueDepth camera would open up more options for developers and spur the creation of more apps as support for the Face ID feature is broadened across other Apple devices.
Cook shows signs of being open to EU tax reforms that keep revenue in countries where it's earned
French officials claim Apple CEO Tim Cook didn't push back against French President Emmanuel Macron's call for the company to pay more taxes, Bloomberg reports. Apple is embroiled in a legal fight with the EU over a ruling that the company owes more than $14.5 billion in taxes collected in Europe and not paid to Ireland, and thus far Cook and other company representatives have stood firm in their public opposition to the ruling, claiming Apple has followed all applicable tax laws. Macron and other European leaders are looking to plug those legal loopholes that allow major companies to funnel their European profits to countries like Ireland rather than paying taxes in the countries where sales are taking place, and the French president said Cook "accepted that fiscal laws worldwide are shifting toward making companies pay tax where money is actually earned." Apple declined to comment on the meeting.
Apple leaves version of iTunes featuring App Store available for anyone to download
While Apple removed the App Store from its latest update of iTunes, the company has also left a version featuring the App Store — version 12.6.3 — available for download. The company's support page for that download makes it clear the intent is to allow businesses deploying their own internal apps the ability to access the App Store from iTunes, even going so far as to provide special provisions allowing the older version to be downloaded to machines that already inadvertently downloaded iTunes 12.7. Anyone who wasn't quite ready to part with all the things left out in Apple's streamlining of iTunes can download iTunes 12.6.3 for PC or Mac, but the software won't prompt you to execute future updates like iTunes always seems to do, so if you want to upgrade at a later date you'll have to seek out the update yourself.
Apple inks deal with Spielberg for first show, cuts ties to Weinstein amid sex scandal
Apple has made a deal with Steven Spielberg, Amblin Television, and Universal Television to make new episodes of "Amazing Stories," The Wall Street Journal reports. The popular sci-fi/horror series ran on NBC in the '80s, and sources familiar with the discussions said Apple will be creating 10 new episodes at a price tag of over $5 million each. One executive involved in the project said that level of spending is on par with higher-end shows currently being produced by HBO and Netflix, so Apple is betting heavily on its first jump into original programming.
Apple releases second developer betas for iOS 11.1, tvOS 11.1 + watchOS 4.1
Apple has released a second set of betas for iOS 11.1, tvOS 11.1, and watchOS 4.1 to registered developers. The release notes for all three platforms mostly indicate bug fixes, although watchOS 4.1 adds Apple Music streaming capabilities to the Apple Watch Series 3, including support for iCloud Music Library and Apple Music radio stations. Recent reports also suggest that iOS 11.1 may add support for Apple Pay Cash, with Apple employees already testing the feature, although it doesn't appear to have yet been unlocked in the developer betas.

Sonos bringing AirPlay 2 support to its speakers next year
Sonos has announced it will bring support for Apple's AirPlay 2 standard to its speakers next year, allowing users to control the devices with HomeKit or Siri. AirPlay 2 integration will allow voice control of music in addition to providing the ability to listen to the audio from videos, apps and games through the speakers. The company also debuted its new Sonos One speaker ($199) during the event — the company's first speaker with built-in voice controls. Once the AirPlay 2 update rolls out, other Sonos speakers will be controllable by voice through Apple devices, but it's unclear at what point next year the update will arrive.
Apple Store begins selling AR teddy bear
Apple has become the exclusive retailer for toy startup Seedling's Parker the Bear, an ordinary looking teddy bear that has some serious augmented reality capabilities when paired with the companion app. Parker comes with his own backpack, doctor's kit and X-ray bibs that produce AR responses in the free app, relying on an iOS 11-equipped device to produce fun effects instead of electronics built into the toy itself. Exams will display Parker's bones and organs, prompt kids to use 3D Touch functionality to get the bear to perform tests like taking deep breaths, and display other games and puzzles that increase Parker's "happiness factor," which in turn unlocks other AR effects. The toy is available for $60 from Apple or directly from Seedling. [via AppleInsider]
Lifx debuts new HomeKit-enabled Beam lighting system
For smart home device users looking for a more unique lighting solution than the typical connected bulb, Lifx has revealed its Beam lighting system ($200). Each kit comes with six beams, one corner piece, and a power pack, allowing users to build themselves an illuminated right angle on any wall. Each beam can reproduce 16 million different colors and has 10 "blended light zones," allowing for some serious control to create a variety of color schemes. The lights are dimmable fro 1 – 100 percent and can be controlled through HomeKit (or through the dedicated app for users without a hub). The Lifx Beam is expected to begin shipping in November and can be pre-ordered now on the company's website.
Apple employees reportedly testing out Apple Pay Cash
Some of Apple's corporate employees in the U.S. are testing Apple Pay Cash on iOS 11.1, MacRumors reports. A source claims Apple's workers have been using the direct money transfer system after downloading iOS 11.1, installing an added beta profile and then getting their Apple IDs whitelisted by the company. The process only works when both users have the proper permissions, and attempts to send money to those outside the loop result in an error message.
Apple releases iOS 11.0.2 with fix for iPhone 8 speaker problems
Apple has released iOS 11.0.2, which fixes a bug that caused crackling sounds in the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus earpieces during calls. The update also sorts out an issue that was causing the devices to hide photos and fixed the problem causing attachments in encrypted emails not to open.
YouTube iOS app update allows sharing in iMessage; Nike app adds new workouts, Apple Watch options
YouTube has updated its iOS app to allow for quick and easy sharing of videos directly through iMessage. Tapping the share button under a video in the YouTube app now allows the video to be sent in Messages, and the recipient can play the video directly in Messages without exiting the app. The Nike+ Run Club app also saw some improvements, adding Audio Guided Runs in both iOS and watchOS that pair specialized playlists with guidance from coaches and athletes. The app also activates a Cheers feature that encourages users to notify friends when they're going out for a run and lets the friends send positive feedback. Perhaps most importantly, Apple Watch Series 3 users will now have access to elevation data even when running without their iPhone tethered to the watch. [via 9to5Mac]
