The DeLorean: Tin Can or Rare Collector?
But, what was John DeLorean's intent in building his gullwing cars? Some of the answers may be found in his autobiography written just after he left General Motors in 1973, while he was still formulating DeLorean Motors, On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors. He wrote that the automotive industry – by which he meant General Motors – was top heavy with bureaucracy, arrogant, out of touch with the customers and unethical.
Clearly, though, DeLorean's stated intention during the formation of his own automobile company was to attempt to build an ethical vehicle that would last far longer than the cars being produced at the time. It seems he had second thoughts about mass producing powerful GTOs and Firebirds for the masses.
It's not well known, but DeLorean also planned to produce sedans and even buses – but as we know, his dream fell apart. As Sports Car Market magazine writer Carl Bomstead wonders, will we see a [car value] death bump with the passing of John D.?

Get Well Soon - How Building Technology is Supporting Employee Health
Technology has always been an obsession in commercial real estate. Everywhere we turn, we hear the heated conversation in CRE circles. More bandwidth, redundant power, easier turnstiles, more expedient security, faster elevator systems. The list is endless, the prices soar, everyone has the features and brags on them – but the challenge is finding the most relevant technologies for today, technology that businesses and individuals really value.
Not long ago, the biggest consideration in technology was sustainability - green systems, fewer emissions, recycled materials, recycling facilities. Interestingly enough, the highly sought after LEED certification that came with all the sustainability efforts became merely a box to check for some businesses – it was not a primary driver of leasing consideration. After lots of studies and surveys, it became evident the business community was not putting ECO first - it didn't directly impact the employees.
But now there's a bigger, more important and far more human umbrella under which sustainability falls: tenant wellness. In the current and fierce talent driven economy, employers and building developers alike are scrambling to find creative ways to attract the best employees, and wellness is fast becoming the hot topic.
According to the WELL Building Standard (not a widely understood certification), wellness is measured on air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort, and mind. It's one tough standard to earn, but it promotes concepts that compel building owners to strive to create environments that support wellness for their tenants.
Building features and technology supporting tenant wellness
The first building to be WELL certified in New York, Structure Tone's headquarters, boasts wellness features from flooring to paint to a café fully stocked with healthy food. Some wellness features are new and some are making a comeback.
Smart glass (or switchable glass) is glass that automatically dims when more sunlight hits it. While this technology has fallen in and out of style throughout the years, certain buildings are embracing it in either glass form or film form to optimize views and minimize energy costs. It's a technology that gets mixed reviews, but it starts to address a real problem. It's one solution to providing a more comfortable environment for tenants.
Another building feature that addresses the issue of sunlight is the concept of the offset core. In one study, workplaces with good daylight had a 3 - 40% gain in productivity and sales. By moving the "core" of the building (restrooms, elevators, etc.) to the exterior instead of the middle, much more natural sunlight is allowed in, not to mention that more flexible floor plates are created.
A newer wellness trend that's growing is bringing the outdoors in. A study from Dr. Chris Knight concluded that employees were 15% more productive when their workplaces were filled with just a few houseplants. Some buildings are taking the trend to a whole other level by creating "living walls." Building structures that support green space are showing up more and more.
Apps are starting to play a bigger role in employee wellness, with apps that remind employees to get up and move or even facilitate a little friendly fitness competition between employees. Companies are starting to support wellness with technology and building layouts in all sorts of ways, including nap pods, walking desks, high tech sparkling water dispensers, and meditation studios.
The future of wellness technology
As building owners and developers are focusing more on creating healthy buildings from the start, the Internet of Things (IoT) is coming into the mix. The use of smart technology in buildings for temperature control and lighting is rising. The future of office space looks healthy - and smart.

I didn't enjoy reading Patricia Highsmith's The Tremor of Forgery as much as I did her The Cry of the Owl, but The Tremor of Forgery is so many things that Owl isn't, and I will likely remember it better and longer because it is a novel in the pure sense of that word; novel, riddled with ambiguity, and filled with a dreadful uneasy suspense that to call it "suspense" seems daft. I don't think one is supposed to enjoy The Tremor of Forgery–think of all the cheap ways we experience enjoyment, and be thankful art of this other sort exists to push us into uncomfortable territory, as in this case, to a slippery town on the Mediterranean coast.
Hammamet, Tunisia, is bright yet noir; all the cats' tails are broken, presumably because it is sport among the young idle natives. We are told "They [Tunisians] love to hurt animals," and "Petty dishonesty is their way of life." A red-turbaned old timer named Abdullah lingers around parked cars, checking the door locks for carelessness, looking to steal whatever remains inside. Abdullah is a known colorful character, despised by locals and embedded tourists alike. The Tremor of Forgery is set in 1967 around the time of the Six-Day War, and the anti-Arab sentiment is high among the westerners who holiday in Hammamet.
Howard Ingham, a novelist, is in Hammamet waiting for the arrival of his production partners of a movie Ingham has been hired to write. The setting of Tunisia was decided on back in New York, where Ingham has left behind a girl he loves (Ina) and varied memories of a former wife (Lotte). Ingham putters about his beach resort, lounging and swimming and sleeping, working on another novel (a very Ripley-esque novel) and pestering hotel staff for any letters from back home. Ingham is one of the great writer characters in fiction; his mind is a hive of worry, minutiae, and banal edicts about others; it is constantly in overdrive over the same things, the same fears of fears, which he attributes to the character in the novel he is writing, but which may in fact be his own.
Ingham befriends Adams, an American with a dubious reason for being in Tunisia. Adams is a sympathetic fool, sure of his faith and Our Way of Life–referring to the west's superiority–so much so that Ingham takes to calling him OWL. Jensen, a Danish homosexual, is another of Ingham's confidants, this one a much more urbane and cosmopolitan type, without any of Adams' windbag tendencies.
The Tremor of Forgery hinges on a single moment, a moment that happens a third into the novel. Ingham, his bungalow robbed of a couple items of clothing the day before, wakes late at night to hear a prowler creeping around his porch. The prowler opens the bungalow door, sticks its head in, and Ingham bashes it with his typewriter.
Ingham seized his typewriter from the table and hurled it with all his force, shoving it with his right arm in the manner of a basketball player throwing for the basket–but the target in this case was lower. Ingham scored a direct hit against the turbaned head. The typewriter fell with a painful clatter, and there was a yell from the figure which staggered back and fell on the terrace. Ingham sprang to his door, pushed the typewriter aside with one foot, and slammed the door. The key was on the windowsill to the right. He found it, groped with fingertips for the keyhole, and locked the door.
He closes the door as the prowler falls back outside, and a while later Ingham hears the sound and scuffle of others as they seem to collect the prowler and tidy up the crime scene.
Was it Abdullah he struck and possibly killed? There was moment reading the The Tremor of Forgery where I said aloud to no one "holy shit it could have been ______ he killed!" thinking it any one of three people in Ingham's life. We don't know whose head Ingham crushed, and we never find out. This is the high-wire act Highsmith suspends over the remaining two-thirds of the novel, and she pulls it off, jerking the reader uncomfortably along with bogus hints and sly misdirection.
The story progresses with a couple new characters, including a visit from Ina, who has undergone a sort of mini-conversion of the religious bend. And yet it is never made clear how much the incident affects Ingham, though Adams and Jensen have opposite ideas and express them, sometimes with threatening manners. Ingham uses the incident to fuel his writing, and as the reasons for him staying in Hammamet come and go he arrives at strange plateaus of peace and contemplation; it is never clear what sort of man Ingham is, even at the novel's end, when a couple good breaks occur to make a reader think he is perhaps on his way to betterment.
The Tremor of Forgery brings to mind other art; The Stranger, of course, but only in a simple superficial manner–Ingham is not Meursault, nor is he meant to be. Much of the moral ambivalence of Cain's The Postman Always Rings Twice came to mind, as did a more recent work; Julia Loktev's 2011 film "The Loneliest Planet," which hinges on a moment very different, but that provides no easy answers thereafter, and makes one question everything that came before.
The Tremor of Forgery left me disjointed and wanting to reread another Highmisth quickly, preferably one with a more straightforward easy gait, one that might calm my brain. But I held back and let Tremor sink in. Happiness is so overrated.

Three QB Rotation; Strong Defense Helps Clarion Beat Winless Lincoln; KC Grad Kelsea With First TD
CLARION, Pa. (EYT) – Riding a strong defensive effort, Clarion University overcame having to use three quarterbacks to hand visiting Lincoln (Pa.) its 21st straight loss, 44-7, Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.
(Photo of Maverick Kelsea, a Karns City grad, celebrating after his first career TD Saturday in Clarion's win over winless Lincoln. Phot courtesy of Clarion University Athletics)
Despite allowing Lincoln its first points of the season – the Lions came into the game being outscored 87-0, Clarion's defense held the visitors to 129 totals yards of offense including negative six on the ground and five first downs. Seven of the Lions drives ended with negative yardage.
As such, it turned out to be a big day for the defensive line. Alec Heldreth finished with 10 tackles, two for loss, a sack and three quarterback hurries, while defensive linemate Saif Khan had eight stops, three TFLs and 1.5 sacks. Paul Blendinger, Trent Rogers and Corey Wells all added interceptions to give Clarion (2-1), which has won two straight for the first time since the 2016 season, nine picks in the last two games.
While Clarion's defense was stellar all day, it took the Golden Eagles offense a bit to get going, and Clarion ended up using three different quarterbacks on the day.
Last week's hero, Jovante Seard, who replaced Jeff Clement at halftime in Clarion's win over Lock Haven, shared time in the first half with freshman Tanner Jones and then Clement came out in the second half as the QB.
Seard was decent going 12 of 24 for 169 yards and three touchdowns, while Clement was better this week than last at least not turning the ball over. He was 8 of 10 for 74 yards and a touchdown. Jones, a freshman from Alexandria, Va., threw just one pass, an incompletion, on the day.
Eleven different receivers caught balls for Clarion paced by five catches for 44 yards and a touchdown by Marcus McCoy, while Khalil Webster and had four catches for a team-best 49 yards. AZ Britt (1 catch, 41 yards), Maverick Kelsea from Karns City (1 catch, 21 yards) and Dervonn Holton (2 catches, 32 yards) also had receiving scores.
On the ground, Clarion used eight different runners paced by Scott Florence's eight carries for 52 yards with Keanu Young chipping in four carries for 46 yards and a touchdown. Offensive lineman Zack Morris also got a late 1-yard touchdown run when the game was out of hand.
It took a while for the Golden Eagle offense to rev up with Clarion first scoring with 3:50 left in the first quarter.
A pass interference call on third-and-7 gave the Golden Eagles fresh life and put them on the Lincoln 25-yard line, and one play later Seard lobbed a 25-yard pass into the back of the end zone for Holton for the score. The Lions blocked the point-after attempt to keep the score at 6-0.
Seard struck again in the second quarter, again from 25 yards out.
Facing second-and-10, he found McCoy for the latter's third touchdown of the season, and James Metzgar's extra point put Clarion ahead 13-0. That would end up being the decider as the defense made it stand the rest of the game, allowing just one touchdown – a 42-yard bomb from Victor Espinoza to Dashawn Brice in the third quarter.
The Golden Eagles had one more score in mind before the halftime break, and Wells made sure they had their shot. He pulled down an errant Zach Green pass at Lincoln 41-yard line with 3:09 remaining in the second quarter, and Seard finished it from there, hitting Britt in the end zone in just one play to make it 20-0 after two quarters of action.
In the third quarter, Clemens connected from 21 yards out with Kelsea to give the local product his first touchdown of his career.
Clarion starts PSAC West play at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22, when it hosts Gannon.

A ECI Conference Series
May 22-27, 2016
Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello
Quebec, Canada
About This Conference
Overview: Fluidization technology is applied transversally to diverse fields including catalysis, drying, heat transfer, spray drying, filtration, combustion and other non-catalytic reactions, pneumatic conveying, classification to name a few. This conference series has contributed to these breakthrough technologies particularly in promoting fundamental studies and developing a sound theoretical framework with which we discover and adapt novel applications.
The XV Fluidization Conference welcomes delegates from academia, industry and government who share the vocation to meet societal needs, reduce the environmental footprint of our processes, while at the same time forging new business models to meet the needs of the growing global population. To meet these challenges, we bring together experts in fields beyond fluidization and powder technology and include theoreticians in computational fluid dynamics (a transverse application), nano-processing and materials, catalysis, and biopharmaceuticals.
Our goal is to identify synergies that will inspire creativity and encourage young researchers to pursue careers in the field. In particular, Sessions on Encapsulation, Biomaterials and Fibers, and Composites are devoted to manufacturing or functionalizing materials.
Delegates from leading industrial multi-national corporations and top institutes will give plenary lectures outlining their views on industrial trends and challenges facing humanity.

Conference Program
Final Program with Poster List
General Information
Engineering Conferences International (ECI) is a global engineering conferences program, originally established in 1962, that provides opportunities for the exploration of problems and issues of concern to engineers and scientists from many disciplines.
The format of the weeklong research conference provides morning and late afternoon or evening sessions in which major presentations are made. Available time is included during the afternoons for ad hoc meetings, informal discussions, and/or recreation. This format is designed to enhance rapport among participants and promote dialogue on the development of the meeting. We believe that the conferences have been instrumental in generating ideas and disseminating information to a greater extent than is possible through more conventional forums.
All participants are expected both to attend the entire conference and to contribute actively to the discussions. The recording of lectures and presentations is forbidden. As ECI conferences take place in an informal atmosphere, casual clothing is the usual attire.

I first came across this book on the Human Rescues Dog blog, http://humanrescuesdog.com under the heading Books That Changed My Life. Then, almost immediately, I noticed that Alicia Silverstone has this book as her book club pick on her website http://www.thekindlife.com. So, I decided to read it.
I was first drawn to the book by its subtitle : how your diet can help save your life and change the world. Who doesn't want both of these things? It's a quick and easy read, there are comparison statistics interspersed with anecdotes and background information about the meat and dairy industries. To be fair, it is easy to enjoy a book that validates my vegetarian lifestyle and does not really challenge any of my values or beliefs. What I especially enjoyed about the book was the tone in which it was written. Robbins does not preach to the audience, rather encourages thoughtful contemplation about the impact daily diet choices have on health and wellness.
This book changed how I view the publication information that is so readily available from both the meat and dairy industries. It challenges our cultures beliefs about our definition of the four food groups and has really made me question and reflect on my own dairy consumption. Making conscious decisions about the food I am eating, decisions that align with my values and beliefs about a green life and clean eating seems like natural fit.
As this is the 10th anniversary of the book, many of the stats are from the '90's. This left me wondering about the current state of affairs of the meat and dairy industries as well as the current state of our planet. The optimist in me hopes things are improving, however the practical side of me doubts this. This book has opened my eyes to the impacts our eating habits have, and has confirmed my beliefs about the positive impacts of a plant based diet.

Contemplating a fresh chop? We've got inspiration aplenty, as this past fashion month all but confirmed that the statement haircut is finally on its way back. After several years of long locks only (save for a couple of outliers), the newest crop of It models are rocking a variety of edgier 'dos: Think thick bangs, shaggy layers, and curl-enhancing pixies. And the best part? There's never been more of an emphasis on natural texture, so that any cut you choose is truly your own. (And easier to maintain, too.)
Still need a nudge? We're betting one of these ultra-cool styles will motivate you to take the plunge.
You know how the "no makeup" makeup trend has finally given way to less makeup? Last year's lob has evolved in a similar way: Instead of using a curling iron to get "effortless"-looking waves, opt for piece-y layers that enhance your natural texture. Work in some of Leonor Greyl's Volumizing Mousse ($46) with your fingers, give your strands a tousle, and go.
Bangs are everywhere, and in every shape and form. But we're especially loving this eye-grazing, textured take, which proves that for once, a fringe doesn't have to be high-maintenance. (You won't even need a blow-dryer.)
Pair flattering, face-framing layers with rich, single-tonal color for a take on '70s waves that feels positively modern.
This punk-rock style isn't going anywhere soon. (And we're not just saying that because we recently made the cut.) Got kinky strands? Ask your stylist for lightweight layers that'll help define your curls even more. (Sleek-haired gals—keep reading.)
As Edie Campbell and Sora Choi (seen here) demonstrate, where curly texture gives the shag a little bit of natural softness, straighter strands take the edge factor up a notch. Emphasize razor-cut layers with a texturizing spray, like Blow Pro's Textstyle ($20).
We've been conditioned to avoid a triangular bob shape, but why? Is Solange not a fine enough example of how cool geometric hair can look?
Put a fresh spin on this '20s classic by opting out of short, blunt bangs in favor of a longer, piece-y fringe.
If we could sum up the year in hair trends in just three words, it would be "curls for days." Again, owning your own texture has never been so cool, and that means playing it up to new heights—literally, in the case of models like Imaan Hammam and Anais Mali. Ask for curl-augmenting layers and make sure you keep them hydrated with a great conditioner and a weekly mask, because nothing kills this look like poof and frizz.
Pulling off a short fringe is easier than you think. (And if you have a round face shape or longer forehead, it's especially flattering.)
Curls add softness and versatility to a short crop—not to mention they make it a million times easier to grow it out.
And finally, nothing screams confidence like a nearly shaved head—after all, as many a tearful America's Next Top Model makeover has taught us, a cut as badass as this requires the attitude to back it up.
Which cut do you like the best? Sound off below!

For years, the 'Internet of Things' has evolved as a game-changer movement. The Swedish Telecom giant Ericsson envisions 50 billion connected devices by 2020. Many sources, including a few I gathered below, predict it as a main trend for 2014: The Rise of 'Internet of Things', IoT.
Will 'Internet of Things' impact biometric-based applications? It already has: just look at the growing market for networked biometric capture devices for e.g. Physical Access Control applications; and PAC is the beginning.
International standards:
For core biometric Web services, OASIS and its members have been leading the way with published standards and reference implementations. For a general IoT introduction, see TED/OASIS videos.
Next development:
More than a decade ago we laid the foundation for our company, Optimum Biometric Labs, with our Web services-based operational monitoring and reporting tool, BioUptime. Today, we are moving forward our pioneering function by partnering with biometric vendors and system owners who want to offer and maintain maximum quality to users while minimizing operational costs.
In the era of 'Internet of Biometric Devices and Services' it becomes increasingly important to keep an eye on their vital operational aspects. I'm privileged that our contribution and advocacy are gaining more momentum.
Happy New Year!
Babak Goudarzipour, CEO, Optimum Biometric Labs
Ericsson Labs, Wired Magazine, The Guardian, VentureBeat, CNBC, CIO Magazine, Quartz, The Atlantic, IDG ComputerWorld, Forbes, InformationWeek
Update: In fact, Ericsson ConsumerLab identifies both Biometrics and Internet of things (see 'Sensors in daily places') as 10 hot consumer trends for 2014 and beyond. See the infograph report.

From a rich and sumptuous web of viscerally applied oil paint, the just visible form of a head emerges in Frank Auerbach's Head of Leon Kossoff. Painted in 1954, this dramatic and intimate portrait of the artist's friend and fellow artist, Leon Kossoff dates from a seminal period of intense experimentation in the artist's career, during which he forged an entirely new and unique conception of portraiture. Never before seen at auction, Head of Leon Kossoff was originally in the collection of David Roemer, son of Auerbach's lifelong friend, the filmmaker, Michael Roemer, who was one of the earliest and most important supporters of the artist. With its richly impastoed, sculptural and viscous surface, the profile of Leon Kossoff radiates from the dark, densely painted background, his forehead illuminated by a bright streak of light that crosses his face. Filling the picture plane, the figure's head is gestured downwards; his eyes downturned in a striking and enigmatic pose. One of the earliest of a series of intense and heavily worked portraits of Kossoff, this painting not only serves as a poignant testament to the extremely close and collaborative relationship between these two artists, but it boldly displays Auerbach's novel approach to portraiture. Not concerned with rendering a faithful physiognomic likeness, Auerbach has depicted an introverted vision of his sitter, capturing a raw and immediate physical presence, or as the artist described, 'the haptic, the tangible, what you feel when you touch somebody next to you in the dark' (Auerbach, quoted in C. Lampert, Frank Auerbach: Speaking and Painting, London, 2015, p. 23).
Auerbach first began to depict his beloved Primrose Hill, a quiet rural sanctum in the middle of the bustling urban metropolis, in the late 1960s. From this point onwards, this part of London has become central to the artist's work, providing endless inspiration. 'This part of London is my world', he explained, 'I've been wandering around these streets for so long that I have become attached to them, and as fond of them as people are of their pets' (Auerbach, quoted in C. Lampert, N. Rosenthal & I. Carlisle, eds., Frank Auerbach Paintings and Drawings 1954-2001, exh. cat., London, 2001, p. 15). Setting out at dawn, Auerbach went to the park at Primrose Hill and made rough sketches of the landscape: rapidly rendered charcoal or felt-pen drawings of trees, clouds, vistas or horizons. On his return to the studio, Auerbach used these sketches not as exact studies or plans for his paintings, but instead as impressions of the atmosphere; records of his experience of the landscape in front of him. Not completed en plein air, Auerbach's process enables him to conflate his memory and experience of the landscape in his own time, capturing 'what it was like to actually draw there that morning…what I see is what I was looking at when I did the drawing and it reminds me of it. That's what it was for. I see the sunlight and the trees and the hill so I paint from these by looking at the drawing…I'm looking at black and white drawings and the lines signal colours to me' (Auerbach, quoted in R. Hughes, Frank Auerbach, London, 1990, p. 166).
Like Constable's large and evocative depictions of the landscape, Auerbach's paintings capture fleeting and ephemeral moments in time, yet these scenes are monumentalised, meticulously worked up by the artist to create an image of permanence and durability. In this way, Auerbach's landscapes belong in the great heritage of European landscape painting, but, with their powerful portrayals of London, these works occupy a particular place within this lineage: as Auerbach has observed, 'I have a strong sense that London hasn't been properly painted. New York has been – think of Stella's Brooklyn Bridge, or O'Keeffe's Shelton with Sunspots. Paris has been painted to the last detail. But London? Monet on the Thames, Derain at the docks; bits and pieces, rather spottily, by Whistler and Sickert. But it has always cried out to be painted, and not been' (Auerbach, quoted in ibid., p. 84).
Featuring one angular, striking hawthorn tree in the foreground, which Auerbach has described as, 'a tree that shoulders the cloud ceiling' (Auerbach, quoted in C. Lampert, Frank Auerbach: Speaking and Painting, London, 2015, p. 172), the dramatic composition of Tree on Primrose Hill is evidence of a rare trip that the artist made outside London in 1975. Following a visit to Tretire in Herefordshire, Auerbach's depictions of Primrose Hill changed. Here, the artist was captivated by a tree outside his bedroom window, and as a result, when he returned to his depictions of London, the motif of a singular tree became increasingly prominent. Though Auerbach cannot recall why he chose this particular tree on Primrose Hill, he remembered that he was aiming to capture the 'feeling of the branch shaking in the wind' (Auerbach, quoted in ibid., p. 176), and integrate this into the rhythm of zigzagging strokes and vigorous impasto of the painting.

Fingerprint Scanner: Technologies Which Change the Rule of Thumbby Tushar Mehta January 10, 2017 0 comments
Fingerprints are in vogue, now available even in entry-level phones. If you're vigilant about your privacy and unwanted peaks into your screen set turmoil in your heart, you must already be using a fingerprint or a similar biometric sensor for unlocking your phone. Thanks to Apple's Touch ID which was introduced with the iPhone 5s in 2013 fueled the momentum of trends shifting in favour of fingerprint sensors.
Biometric sensors have witnessed a major riot of opportunities in 2016 itself. Based on a report by Acuity Market Intelligence, the number of smartphone models with biometric sensors saw a growth of over 100% since January through December 2016. These biometric sensors include the traditional fingerprint sensor, Iris scanners, and blood vein scanners such as a hear-rate monitor. Nearly 40% of the smartphones available globally deploy fingerprint on-board.
As the prices of fingerprint-enabled phones are declining and cheaper alternatives flouting the trade, the concern over the security of fingerprint has soared like hot smoke. As the fingerprint is becoming the key to our security and privacy, innovators are exploring the area of fool-proof fingerprint scanning, with due attention to the resistance against threats or data forgery. Below are some technologies that can replace the traditional flat-bed fingerprint scanner in 2017.
Synaptics FS9100 – Optic-based & Button-free Fingerprint Scanner
While optic-based fingerprint scanners have been hot in trends, Synaptics is the first company to exhibit a ready-for-procurement batch of optical sensors, titled FS9100. This optical fingerprint sensors capable of reading fingerprint through a sheath of 1mm thick glass. Protected under scratch-proof glass, it will be readily water-resistant and will not require a separate cutout.
Further, in collaboration with facial recognition firm called KeyLemon, Synaptics displayed at CES 2017 a smart engine for incorporating facial recognition with the fingerprint, making it convenient and firmly secure for the user. Samsung has a history of sourcing its fingerprint sensors from Synaptics and we can anticipate an optical fingerprint sensor being featured on the Galaxy S8, set for launch this year, the use of facial recognition may lag behind. Innovation is crucial for Samsung after the Note 7 debacle last year.
SecuGen UN20 and Hamster Pro 45 – Cross-platform and FBI-certified
SecuGen, manufacturer of optical fingerprint technology showcased UN20 which is an optical serial fingerprint scanner capable of being used with various devices such as mobile phones, access control units, industrial applications and financial solutions (ATMs and PoS). It comes with Unity BDP (Biometric Development Program) which allows OEMs to integrate SecuGen fingerprint in a nearly endless number of devices. The UN20 Bluetooth is a cross-platform fingerprint scanner which, as suggested by the name, is Bluetooth-enabled and doesn't require wired for connection with the native device.
Hamster Pro 45 from SecuGen is a badass dedicated to forensic research and law enforcement. Made especially for the FBI, Hamster Pro 45 boasts a two-finger scanner instead of just one. This increases the accuracy of fingerprint reading. We may soon experience such a solution on commercial devices citing increasing attacks on consumer technology.
Apple Ready to Counter Samsung
Apple has, as per some reputed sources, filed a patent request for "a capacitive fingerprint sensor with electrostatic lens." This will allow Apple to rid away with the Home button which is being carried along as emotional baggage, as well as let Apple compete its bezel-less iPhone 8 with likes of the Xiaomi Mi Max.
The present range of capacitive fingerprint scanners cannot identify any change in the magnetic field of users' fingers based on the distance between the two surfaces. The electrostatic lens will remediate this by identifying the electric field of the user's finger and adjusting the parameters in play while reading fingerprints – resulting in increased accuracy and security.
Chinese Brands such as Xiaomi and Huawei Catching Up
Huawei's latest upcoming devices – Honor Magic, Mate 9 Pro and Mate 9 Porche will boast FPC1268, an under-glass fingerprint scanner. Xiaomi is a repeat customer of FPC, a fingerprint manufacturer, and is likely to utilize the latest model FPC1268 on its flagships in 2017. This will catalyze the transcendence of glass-based fingerprints into affordable smartphones.
What the Best Innovator at CES 2017 Offers –
Goodix Technology was revered as the Best Innovator of embedded technology at the CES 2017 because it unveiled Live Fingerprint Detection Sensor. Goodix analyzed that present class of capacitive fingerprints are not very reliable, and its fingerprint solution uses Infrared and a heart-rate monitor to easily detect fake and cloned fingerprints. After being convinced that it is a "live" finger, the scanner recognizes a "friendly" finger based on its conductivity. It is likely to feature on phones such as Gionee M2017 and Meizu PRO6 Plus.
The use of fingerprint has seemingly evolved into a market trend, with cheaper solutions being leveraged with almost every affordable smartphone. Fingerprint scanners are a cardinal essence of a majority of the flagships. Capacitive fingerprints gave birth to security issues when some 3D printing artists managed to manipulate templates of users' fingerprints, now calling for more advanced and secure technologies.
As the popularity of fingerprint grows, we will have more users as well as intruders, thus calling for more advanced and nearly sci-fi tech, available for a wide range of devices including biometric smart cards. Simultaneously, other biometrics such as Iris scanners may strive to increase the security of our data.

School doesn't get out until July 6th. The temperature here hovers in the high 60s, maybe low 70s. The sun makes rare appearances, but we've had at least a little bit of rain most days. And I have yet to don a pair of shorts, not even once. Beach weather, this is not.
The term "British Summer" seems to be an oxymoron. It doesn't feel like summer here.
Living in D.C., you get hot and humid summers, the kind that make me retreat into the air conditioned house and peruse real estate listings in cooler climates. I don't miss the 90+ degree temps or the 80% humidity that made the air feel thick and heavy.
But it doesn't feel like summer here, no matter what the calendar says.
I'll take 68 degrees over 98 degrees every day of the week, every month of the year. But I'd love just one 80-degree day with the sun shining, if only to finally break out a pair of shorts and get some color on my pasty white legs.
I'm holding out hope that when July arrives, some warm and sunny days arrive with it. But I'm definitely not complaining — British summer is vastly better than D.C. summer, and God knows I've spent the last decade loudly announcing my hatred for the heat of July and August in D.C.
I just want a tan on my legs.
Also, we did find a beach in England last summer, and the biggest thing we're missing about summer at home.

In this guide, we'll look at the five most effective ways you can help your eCommerce consulting clients achieve their goals. Be sure to enroll in our 10 Things Every Coach or Consultant Needs to Know course before you get started.
Analyze and advise on current marketing methods
Not every eCommerce website can succeed on word of mouth alone. While legends like Zappos.com sell millions of dollars worth of shoes each year thanks to positive word of mouth, it's tough for a newer, less established website to do the same.
This is where marketing comes in. In order for any eCommerce website to sell its products, it needs to have an actionable marketing plan built around proven and scalable methods like search engine optimization or pay-per-click advertising.
When you start working with a new eCommerce consulting client, the first thing you should do is look at their current marketing plan and the methods they're using. Are they working? If they aren't working, what's holding them back from success?
Many eCommerce businesses are operated by people that excel in creating products and building beautiful websites, but aren't well versed in marketing. They may have the mindset that business will come naturally if their products are good enough.
As a consultant, you should observe which marketing methods are currently being used by your eCommerce clients, and their results. If one is successful, scale it and increase its results. If one is a failure, end it in favor of more profitable options.
Some eCommerce websites excel with one form of marketing – for example, search engine optimization or Adwords for Search – but instead spend too much of their marketing budget on failed display advertising or social media campaigns.
Observe what your clients are doing, find out what they're doing wrong, and scale up what they're doing right. There's a successful marketing campaign out there for every eCommerce consulting client – it's your job as a consultant to find it.
Our course, The Online Marketing Crash Course; Traffic, Leads & Clients, explains the different marketing methods used by eCommerce businesses, and shows you how to help your eCommerce consulting clients discover their best options.
Look at on-site factors that could limit conversions
Getting the right people to visit your eCommerce client's website is one task – the next is turning them into customers. Many eCommerce websites limit their sales by using designs that make it unnecessarily difficult for consumers to buy products.
We've all had a frustrating experience with an online sales interface before, whether it was booking a plane ticket or trying to register using a clumsy, unintuitive online lead capture form.
As an eCommerce consultant, your goal is to help your clients make their websites as customer-friendly as possible. This process involves a variety of practices, from simple on-site conversion optimization to advanced user interface design.
Conversion optimization is one of the most important aspects of on-site eCommerce design. If your client's website isn't designed to maximize conversions, they could be throwing away the money they spend on advertising and PR campaigns.
Our course, Conversion Optimization, is a wonderful guide to optimizing a website for the highest possible conversion rate. From call-to-action buttons to good forms, it covers all aspects of conversion optimization for your eCommerce clients.
Another important aspect of eCommerce consulting is making sure that your client's website is user-friendly and intuitive. Often, you may need to audit their website to see which processes are holding back potential customers or clients.
Enroll in our course, User Experience: The Ultimate Guide to Usability, to learn how you can take an objective, results-focused approach to converting your eCommerce client's website from unintuitive to user-friendly and easy to operate.
Choose payment processors that work for your clients
Are you working with a small eCommerce company? They may be spending more than they need to on payment processing by billing customers through a merchant account if their total order volume is limited.
Optimizing a client's payment processing system is one of the best ways to reduce their expenses and optimize their business. In many cases, eCommerce companies with limited sales are held back by investing in their own merchant account.
This is due to a variety of factors. One is the necessity of a rolling reserve, which can take its toll on small business cash flow. Another is the fees charged by many of the top merchant banks to small businesses, which can add up to a huge sum over time.
Advising your eCommerce consulting clients about alternative payment methods for customers – be it PayPal or new credit card processors like Stripe – is a great way to help them explore new processing avenues and reduce their spending.
Our course, eCommerce Website: Using PayPal, shows you how to help your clients establish merchant billing through PayPal. From one-off purchases to subscriptions, this in-depth course covers every aspect of PayPal integration for eCommerce.
Explore user feedback to optimize your client's store
Does your eCommerce consulting client collect user feedback? Does it ask its users to review and rate products? Does it send out quarterly or annual surveys to learn more about what its customers do and don't want?
Every type of business can benefit from learning about its audience, and your job as a consultant should be to help your clients learn more about what their clients want from them, what they don't want, and what problems they're facing.
Often, collecting data from users should be your first step as a consultant. The data you generate from surveying your client's customers can be used to optimize their website for maximum conversions and improve usability.
Surveying your client's customers is easy. Online applications like Google Docs make it easy for you to solicit feedback from customers, and your client's mailing list is an excellent place to start asking for feedback, tips, and recommendations.
Not sure which questions to ask your client's customers? Our course, User Feedback Surveys: Fundamentals, explains the benefits of surveying customers and shows you exactly how to set up your first eCommerce customer survey.
Consider the bigger picture and your client's goals
Not every business has the same strategy, and approaching each client with similar solutions might not be the best way to proceed as an eCommerce consultant. Before you start working with a client, consider their strategy and bigger picture goals.
What might stand out as a problem from your perspective could actually be one of your client's greatest strengths. A product that seems too expensive could actually sell better due to its high price point and the perception of luxury it creates.
Successful eCommerce consulting isn't just about giving your clients tactics that they can use to optimize their businesses; it's about understanding their long-term goals and helping them achieve them.
Once you've performed your initial analysis of a client's website – checking their on-site SEO, analyzing their advertising campaigns, and judging usability – step back for a moment and ask yourself if there's a reason for their decisions.
Speak to your clients to learn more about what their goals are for the next few years, or even the next decade. Many eCommerce businesses plan a long for the future, and focusing on the present isn't necessarily the best way to help them.
Our course, Grow Your Business With a Strategy, explains how businesses use short-term tactics and long-term strategy to grow and develop. Enrolling in it could help you gain the perspective of your client and truly understand their problems.

There is still an aura surrounding the name MV Agusta that no other motorcycle manufacturer can match; a compelling mix of money, glamour, exoticism, authenticity and history that is unique and outstanding.
Yet the name was lost until 1992, when it was rescued after 15 dormant years by Ducati's then owner, Claudio Castiglioni. The first bike of this modern era, the 750cc F4, appeared 12 years ago, but MV Agusta established its reputation in the Fifties and Sixties as the supreme grand prix racing force, until finally eclipsed by Honda. The MV mystique was enhanced by its grudging production of occasional and very expensive road bikes.
Modern MV has never had enough money to fully develop its bikes, and while the Ferrari-designed engine was hugely powerful, especially when later enlarged to 1,000cc, it was also harsh, hard-edged and difficult to use effectively, while the ergonomics of the bike were hardly on the rider's side.
The first Brutale was its naked stablemate and a close derivation, so inevitably came with the same caveats. While this gave the bikes a reputation of being for the cognoscenti only, in practice it meant that MV didn't sell many.
MV Agusta was not well managed anyway, its troubles grew deeper and last year Harley-Davidson bought the company. Everyone held their breath.
The new, 2010 Brutale 1090RR is the first bike from the new regime, and you can breathe out now because the signs are very good that Harley knows what it's doing.
The looks have changed little, even though MV says 85 per cent of the bike is new including the bodywork – and there's nothing wrong with that as this is an aggressive, distinctive and very stylish motorcycle. But the ride is an entirely different and much more rewarding experience: it's still fast, but now it's also friendly, and MV's aim of creating a machine you could switch to comfortably from a Honda has been achieved.
There is also a lower-spec 990R which we'll be reporting on at a later date – the Brutale 1090RR is more powerful and a little lighter than the old model, although the specifications suggest the opposite: 154bhp for the old model versus 144bhp for the new. The reason is simply that the new owners have also brought in a new honesty about the numbers.
There's also a revised bottom end for the engine (although the MV-signature radially arranged valves and cylinder head are retained), a significantly revised frame, new wheels, swingarm and engine management.
What matters most is what it's like to ride, and here the MV is going to win over a raft of new fans. Although it's quite a compact bike, there's now room for taller riders and the new-found comfort is enhanced by the beautifully plush suspension. It's as good on the track as on bumpy back roads, with impressive poise and control and outstanding ride quality.
There's a fair amount of fork dive when the top-spec Brembo stoppers are given a workout, and the bike's weight makes itself felt: it might well be lighter than the old model, but it's heftier than some of the competition, such as Ducati's Streetfighter. While the engine has been revised it's still an interim measure before a totally new one can be produced. In the meantime, the existing one is heavy compared with more modern units.
It produces plenty of power, however, and it shows at all speeds because this is a very torquey unit, pulling hard from little more than idle. The rasping snarl that accompanies large throttle openings is very Italian, almost Alfa Romeo in its growling quality, with more volume and quite distinct from Japanese in-line four-cylinder motors. You also get a welcome smoothness thanks to the addition of a counterbalance shaft.
The motor keeps thrusting you forward as the revs rise until it's howling towards the red line and accelerating ferociously, although the power tails off noticeably at the very top. The throttle response is imperfect, however, with something of an old-fashioned suddenness in delivery from throttle off to on, such as when you're feeding the horses back in from the overrun.
There's a new party trick with the motor, a rider-adjustable traction control system. This works by looking for unexpected spikes in crankshaft speed, as caused when the rear wheel suddenly loses grip, and when it detects them it retards the ignition to reduce power.
It works with astonishing smoothness, so much so it took me a long time to be convinced that it was working at all. I didn't flip or highside the bike despite some pretty heavy throttle use mid-corner, so it was doing its job.
The chassis stiffness, weight distribution and balance have changed little – with the even better suspension the handling is now outstanding and the Brutale makes a better track bike than the Ducati Hypermotard, for example.
While the MV's weight might not be a big issue on a high-speed circuit such as Misano, on tight roads with unpredictable corners you sometimes feel you're really wrestling the machine – despite the light steering, it still takes effort to change direction fast. It's beautifully neutral, however, with excellent balance at very low speeds.
For all the dynamic excellence of the Brutale, the real gain is in its sophistication and user-friendliness. It's not going to alienate riders like the old one did, but it's still going to excite them – and it still wears that very special badge.
All of which bodes very well for the forthcoming F4 sports bike, and for the future of MV Agusta under Harley-Davidson.
Price/availability: About £14,000/December 2009
Power/torque: 142bhp@10,600rpm/85lb ft@8,000rpm
Top speed: 164mph (claimed)
Fuel tank/range: 5.1 gallons/ n/a
Alternatives: BMW K 1300 R, £9,745. Ducati Streetfighter S, £14,000. Honda CB1000R, £8,100. Kawasaki Z1000, £6,400. Yamaha FZ1, £8,299.
Verdict: Still glamorous, still blindingly fast, now everyday usable and far more sophisticated.
Telegraph rating: Four out of five

A sophisticated and charming apartments have been completed by Ony Architecture. Established Boston area with an area of 1500 square foot loft building, exactly above the dominant use of wood interior accents. Here is the project description from the designers: "The scope of the project consisted of ren-ovation of the kitchen, an addition of an office/guest bedroom, creating a multi-functional storage wall, and general improvements to the space. Minimalist white concrete and brick walls and ceiling illuminated by ample natural light through generously sized windows create a contrast with the warm, rich, material utilized for flooring and other finishes. The dark American Walnut flooring is matched by the structural grided shelving of the storage unit. The same warm material is used as a countertop as it drapes over the island, and forms the foundation and support for the translucent paneling of the guest bedroom/office. The Walnut grided shelving is wrapped with a skin of multi-layered Birch plywood to enclose certain storage spaces, and reveals other sections for book and artifact storage."

October 1 2009, Moscow – Aeroflot Russian Airlines JSC celebrates twenty years since entering IATA – International Aviation Transport. The decision to enter IATA was made in October 1989 in Warsaw, at IATA's 45th General Assembly. Aeroflot became Russia's first air carrier to enter IATA. Today, among IATA members are 15 carriers from the CIS including 6 Russian ones.
November 3 1992, a special Memorandum of Understanding was signed that certified Aeroflot's IATA membership as the successor of the former Aeroflot which used to unite all the Soviet civil aviation. IATA also approved the templates of Aeroflot trademark and shipping documents.
Russia's leading carrier, Aeroflot traditionally plays a great part in IATA's global initiatives promotion in Russia. In 2006, Aeroflot became Russia's first air carrier to obtain IOSA operator certificate having successfully passed IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit). The company's entire air fleet has been certified to comply with IOSA standard. In 2009, Aeroflot for the third time confirmed its compliance with the new and stricter IOSA standards, and became Russia's first carrier to successfully pass ISAGO (IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations).
It is to a great degree owing to Aeroflot's effort and persistence, that Russia opened a green street to the e-ticket technology as the key element of IATA's initiative to straighten the air carriage procedure and implement new e-technologies in the industry. Aeroflot also contributed a lot in the last year's full operational launch of the IATA BSP (IATA's Billing and Settlement Plan) in Russia. This project which will significantly raise air carriage sales efficiency has resulted from IATA's strategic partnership with Aeroflot and VTB Bank.
Aeroflot also supports environmental initiatives of IATA, which aspires for making civil aviation a maximally clean transport, and driving hydrocarbon emissions to a close to zero level. The energy-saving program adopted by Aeroflot fully conforms with IATA's ecologic strategy.
IATA's member, Aeroflot can participate in discussion and adoption of the most important documents regulating the operation of the international air transport. Aeroflot traditionally represented in IATA's administration. At IATA's 65th annual General Assembly which took place in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) this June, Aeroflot's CEO Vitaly Savelyev was elected to IATA's board of governors for the period of 2009-2012. This is the first time that a Russian company's director has been included in one of the key committees – the Nominee Committee, whose responsibility is to nominate candidates to the Board of Governors.
According to Vitaly Savelyev, Aeroflot has always played and is playing an important role in IATA's activities, cooperating with the major air carriers within this organization. Aeroflot's direct participation in IATA's operation and administration will allow the company to become an active player in the aviation industry globally, take advantage of high environmental standards.
IATA (International Air Transport Association) was established in 1945. It is headquartered in Montreal. Bringing together the world's leading air carriers, the Association coordinates and represents the aviation industry interests in the areas such as flight safety provision, flight operation, tariff policies, maintenance, aviation safety; it develops and publishes international standards, provides training and consulting services, and more.
Aeroflot has been IATA's active player since 1989, and is represented in its Board of Governors.

Brother MFC-J4510DW – Performance and Verdict
So, does the new orientation improve the print speed of the Brother MFC-J4510DW? Brother claims speeds of 12ppm for both black and colour print and our five-page text document gave 7.3ppm. In draft mode, this increased to 12ppm exactly and the 20-page document, back in normal mode, gave 10.9ppm.
Duplex is standard on the printer and the 20-page document printed at 5.7 sides per minute, which is a good speed for an inkjet. A single page copy took 16s from the glass and a five page text copy took 50s from the ADF. 15 x 10cm photos, from the rear feeder, took an average of 1:15. You can print to the machine from a phone or tablet using the Android iPrint & Scan utility.
Compare these speeds with the https://www.trustedreviews.com/brother-mfc-j6710dw_Printer_review Brother MFC-J6710DW a £250, full A3 inkjet which prints conventionally. It managed a maximum speed of 9.0ppm, around 20 percent slower than this machine.
Plain paper print quality has always been a bit problematic on Brother inkjets and things haven't really improved here. There's still lots of fuzziness around characters, due to unwanted ink flow or dot control.
Colours are smooth, though not particularly bright, and registration of black over colour is good. Photos are well reproduced, with good, solid colours and plenty of fine detail, though darker shades tend to lose definition.
Brother won't talk about how it ripples the paper to print landscape, but we wonder if it's connected with the flapping noise it makes when feeding each sheet, which saw a noise level of 71dBA at 0.5m. This is loud – like a vacuum cleaner at 1m, though only for a moment for each sheet.
Using four, high-yield cartridges gives page costs of 2.8p and 7.2p, neither of which is high for this class of machine, but both of which are bettered by the same Brother MFC-J6710DW (1.8p and 5.3p, respectively).
While the Brother MFC-J4510DW's innovation of printing pages in landscape mode makes for a neater printer and some increase in speed, it's hard to get too excited. It looks a lot better than Brothers fax-like older all-in-ones, but the plain paper print quality is still the poorest of the 'big four' brands and some of its rivals undercut its running costs, too.
