Camso introduces three new press-on (PON) tire models to meet the growing demands of forklifts operating in high- and medium-intensity applications.

The material handling industry has evolved considerably in recent years. Larger forklift models are using more specialized attachments and now come equipped with hydrostatic transmissions, automotive-type active stability systems and specialized attachments. These material movers now carry heavier loads in more confined spaces while moving faster. Combined with increased travel distance and less cool-down time between jobs, duty cycles are more severe than ever before.

“When operating in such high intensity applications, tires are pushed beyond their limits and are very likely to experience heat build-up. This can result in rubber fatigue or even thermal tire failure causing unscheduled forklift downtime,” said Erick Bellefleur, product line executive director of material handling at Camso. “As the world’s largest manufacturer of press-on tires, we know that downtime is not an option for material handling operations. It’s our job to understand the unique mobility needs of any forklift and its application requirements.”

The new Solideal PON 775 high-intensity tire

The new Solideal PON 775 by Camso is especially designed for high intensity applications where other press-ons may fail. When compared to the Solideal Magnum SM ERP:

  • It delivers 90 per cent better resistance to internal heat build-up.
  • It shows 70 per cent better energy efficiency due to low-rolling-resistance rubber compounds.
  • It provides 45 per cent longer tire life due to an abrasion-resistant tread compound.
  • It features a unique and patented sidewall design to relieve stress on the tire edges and reduce ground pressure.

A full range of Solideal PON 775 sizes are available, right up to and including a new 33 in. tire.

Camso’s revamped Solideal PON 555/550 medium-intensity tires

Camso’s medium-intensity Solideal PON 555 and 550 are enhanced versions of the Magnum traction and smooth models, long established as industry standards. By improving the materials and tire construction process, these new tires will provide:

  • 45 per cent longer tire life
  • six per cent better resistance to internal heat build-up
  • eight per cent improved energy efficiency

“Fleet owners expect maximum life for a tire regardless of the intensity of their job,” Bellefleur said. “Our new tire technologies deliver maximum durability by minimizing internal heat build-up.”

Together, the new Solideal PON 775 and the Solideal PON 555 and 550 were designed as a series to bring maximum lifespan for different application intensities and to provide customers with a low operating cost solution.

Determining which tire to use

Every forklift tire in the Camso product line is designed to deliver maximum life. There are no good/better/best options on the roster.

Determining which Solideal tire by Camso is best suited for which particular application is based on what is called “usage intensity.” Usage intensity reflects the amount of heat stress inflicted on the tires by the forklift’s duty cycles.

“When choosing tires for forklifts, buyers must especially focus on how the machine is being used and understand the intensity of the application they’re running. Each application has its own usage intensity, and that this is what differentiates an application from another,” Bellefleur said.

To ease forklift tire selection, Camso has developed an online tool that ensures the correct tire model is matched to the forklift application.

Camso’s Usage Intensity Calculator (available at quantifies different levels of forklift application intensities. This is done by factoring in basic usage parameters. These parameters include:

  1. Forklift lifting capacity.
  2. Idle time.
  3. Travel time.
  4. Maneuvering time.
  5. Distance travelled per day.
  6. Number of daily shifts.

A score is produced and, when matched with engineering-derived product data, an actual tire recommendation that matches the intensity level is provided. Recommendations are available on both of Camso’s forklift solid tire lineups:

  1. PON Tires (press-on).
  2. RES Tires (resilient).

More than just a tire model recommendation, the actual score is particularly helpful for ensuring forklifts are equipped with the best tire for their application in order to provide customers with the lowest operating cost solution possible, and maximum lifespan.

Ritchie Bros. hosts 8th annual KidSport fundraiser

Ritchie Bros Edmonton auction

Ritchie Bros. annual Corporate Kids Challenge will once again allow hundreds of youth to participate in organized sports.

For the past eight years, Ritchie Bros. Burnaby office has hosted dozens of corporate teams to participate in a charity sports day challenge to raise funds for KidSport B.C.

Ritchie Bros. fundraisers reach $1.1 million

This year, the event held on Sept. 9, raised about $138,000 for KidSport. In total, the event has raised more than $1.1 million throughout its eight years.

“I think the Ritchie Bros. Corporate Kids Challenge is the best charity event in Canada, and it raises an unbelievable amount of money, allowing us to help more than 500 kids participate in a season of sport each year,” said Pete Quevillon, director of KidSport B.C. “We are so fortunate to have Ritchie Bros. as a member of our family. Their support is so much more than just a corporate partnership.”

Special guests

The Corporate Kids Challenge is designed to “bring out the kid” in its participants. The full-day event brings corporate teams together with a series of special guest teammates, including Canadian Olympians, local athletes and celebrities. This year’s event featured John Herdman, head coach of the Canadian women’s national soccer team; Canadian Olympians Elizabeth Gleadle (javelin) and Evan Dunfee (race walking). The event also includes a silent and live auction.

“We believe strongly in the power of sport to teach the life skills necessary to build future leaders in our communities,” said Todd Wohler, chief human resources officer at Ritchie Bros. “We started this event as a corporate charity initiative, but it has turned into so much more. Now every year our employees run their own fundraising initiatives leading up to the event and this year they raised more than $13,000. Getting involved with KidSport has helped grow our company culture in more positive ways than we could have imagined.”

KidSport is a community-based sports funding program that provides grants for financially disadvantaged children to participate in amateur sports.

Quevillon added the company’s level of support extends beyond the actual event, and includes thousands of hours of volunteerism and fundraising.

“Quite honestly, I don’t know of another corporation that displays this level of passion for a cause,” Quevillon said.

Ergonomic Tips

When you think about maintaining a healthy workforce, you probably think about providing health insurance for your employees, encouraging them to use sick days when necessary and maybe even starting a wellness program or an informal weight-loss challenge. There’s something else you can do to keep employees healthy that pays off for both you and your staff: setting up an ergonomic office.

Ergonomics is the process of designing work tools to fit the needs of the humans using them. An office that’s ergonomically set up can reduce the chances of your employees suffering repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, bursitis or back strain, that occurs when people make the same motions over and over. Ergonomic practices keep your employees healthy, make them more productive in the long term, and lessen your risk of being hit with a workers’ compensation lawsuit.

Ergonomics Tips for a Healthy Workplace Environment

Here are some specific ergonomic tips to use when creating a healthy workplace environment:

Provide Proper Lighting

Ergonomic Lighting

In addition to ceiling lights, make sure employees have adequate task lighting for their work. You can put spot lighting underneath cubicle shelving to shed light on the desk, or get adjustable desk lamps that let employees focus light exactly where they need it. Lamps that offer different brightness levels are great if employees are doing close work.

Get Supportive Chairs

Herman Miller Embody Chair

Employees doing desk work need chairs that have adjustable seats and backs. There should be good lumbar support, and workers should be able to comfortably put their feet on the floor with their legs at a 90-degree angle. People who are very tall or very short may need different chairs to accommodate their size.

Position Computers Correctly

Desktop computers are best for people who spend a lot of time at the computer. Set up computer keyboards so that employees can type with their elbows at a 90 degree angle. This might require installing an under-desk keyboard tray. Position computer monitors about an arm’s length away. Employees should be looking straight ahead or slightly down at the screen, not straining upwards.

Employees using laptops should take special precautions. Laptops are convenient, but they’re not ergonomically designed. If your laptop is on your lap, your wrists and arms will be in a good position, but the screen will be way too low. If the laptop is on a desk, the screen is well positioned but the keyboard is too high. Neither position should be used long term (for more than an hour).

For employees who use a laptop for extended periods, a good solution is to get a separate, ergonomic keyboard that employees can position properly while using the laptop on a desk. Make it wireless for more convenience. A laptop stand can be added to raise the laptop screen high enough for optimum viewing.

Provide Headsets

Ergonomic Headsets

Craning your neck to hold a phone in place while fumbling for papers leads to neck strain and pain. Headsets allow employees to be more productive as well as more comfortable.

Encourage Regular Breaks

Hunching at a desk and staring at a screen all day can cause a plethora of problems, from eye strain and back pain to dry eye and carpal tunnel. Have your employees take 5 to 10 minute “rest breaks” every hour — such as walking around the office or going to the break room; “micro-breaks” of 1 to 2 minutes every 15 or 20 minutes — such as standing up and moving around or closing their eyes; and exercise breaks every couple of hours — such as gentle stretches or “desk yoga.”

Computer apps help remind people of the importance of breaks and also get everyone on the same page so employees don’t feel guilty about getting up from their desks. Here are some to check out:

  • Eyeleo: This app for PCs reminds users to take breaks every hour and provides quick eye exercises every 10 minutes.
  • Time Out: This app for Macs reminds users to take a 10-minute break every hour and a 10-second break every 10 minutes. You can customize the time frames.
  • StretchClock is an add-on for the Firefox browser that reminds users to stand up and provides easy stretches targeted at computer users.
  • EyeCare is a Google Chrome extension that reminds users to follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
  • Protect Your Vision is a similar extension that works for Firefox, Chrome and Safari; you can customize it for your own preferences.

Try some fantasy League of Legends betting

If you want to try something a little different from the standard esports bet, then we think that you should give fantasy esports betting a try. Most people will know how fantasy sports offers you a great way to build your own teams and win money on traditional sports like football and basketball, but fantasy esports is here to give you a brand new way to enjoy wagering on your favourite game.

Getting started on fantasy esports

What is fantasy esports? We’ve prepared a guide that gives you a great introduction to this exciting betting phenomenon. We’ll show you how to create the perfect fantasy esports team and we will also highlight how fantasy esports sites like DraftKings offer you an easy way to get started with your bets.

Fantasy esports involves you signing up to one of the many contests where you have to get more points than the other players in order to win some money. You can do this by assembling your own fantasy esports team that is made up of real-life players, and it’s the performances of these competitors in real-life tournaments that could help you get those all-important points.

Most decent fantasy esports sites put on plenty of different contests that all have varying amounts of players, different entry fees, and some seriously impressive prize pools. Plus you should also be able to try fantasy esports betting risk-free by playing without using your own money.

How did LoL fantasy betting become so popular?

Over 2.5 million gamers have already signed up to try some LoL fantasy betting, and it’s clear that things are only going to get more exciting from here. At the moment, it’s that classic battle arena title, League of Legends, that gets the greatest amount of attention, but we think that other top esports like CSGO and even Overwatch could soon make an appearance.

By trying some fantasy LCS betting, you will experience the fun of building your own team and then watching the real-life action unfold in the top League of Legends Championship Series matches. It’s the efforts of the LoL players that could lead to you picking up some decent winnings, but on the whole, we think that fantasy esports is the perfect way to help you get even more enjoyment out of watching your favourite LoL teams.

The President Picks A Fight Over The Budget

One of the most alarming things about that Super Bowl telecast last night was the moment during the pre-game show when Savannah Guthrie was hanging in the White House kitchen with the president, and she kept after him about why he was going to send a budget into the monkeyhouse with proposals that have no chance of passing. The president, in reply, kept talking vaguely about possible areas of agreement. (Pro Tip: There are none.) Outside of that very weird commercial with the dead child, this was the most unsettling thing on the electric teevee machine all day. I thought the answer to Guthrie's persistent questioning should have been a lot simpler -- namely, that there are some hopeless fights that are worth having.

So, today, the president picked that very fight with the Congress, sending up a budget guaranteed non-passage, but putting the Republican majority on the wrong side of a great number of issues from which there is no walking back after nearly 40 years of voodoo economics. Here's the money shot.

It calls for a one-time, 14 percent tax on an estimated $2.1 trillion in profits piled up abroad by companies such as General Electric (GE.N) and Microsoft (MSFT.O), while imposing a 19 percent tax on U.S. companies' future foreign earnings. It proposes a 7 percent rise in U.S. domestic and military spending, ending "sequester" caps with reforms to crop insurance programs and closing tax loopholes such as one on "carried interest." Those moves would help fund investments in infrastructure and education. The budget would also reform rules governing trust funds and raise the capital gains and dividend rates to 28 percent from the current top rates of 23.8 percent.

Again, I remember when people said that Ronald Reagan's budgets were dead on arrival with Democratic Congresses. That often wasn't the point, although some congressional Democrats did sign on to certain elements of all of them, more's the pity. The point was to soften the ground, to change the narrative, to get people talking about money, and who has it, in a different way. What's necessary, of course, for his budget to be taken seriously is to have the president demonstrate that he takes his budget seriously. This means getting out there and hammering away at what an obscenity the carried-interest loophole really is, and how unpatriotic off-shoring profits should be regarded by anyone in this country struggling to get by. This means pinning the rush toward plutocracy on the Republican side, and on the conservative movement that is the party's only life force. He has to realize that, sometimes, on some issues, and in doing it the right way, talking the talk is the same as walking the walk.

A Beautiful Life?

Risking your eyes one cosmetic at a time

A study on eyeliner directed by Dr. Alison Ng and her colleagues has recently exploded across internet news, including coverage from Reuters. The commonly used cosmetic is not necessarily ‘damaging’ the way some have interpreted the study, but it can carry some risks of vision problems and could potentially affect eye health depending on your eyeliner style.

The study looked at the application of eyeliner on the inner and outer sides of the lash line, monitoring the ‘migration’ of eyeliner particles into the eye. Application of eyeliner on the interior side/inner lid is a popular style for ‘smokey’ and ‘big eyes’ looks, however, this style could put your eyes at greater risk of infection and blurred vision. The study observed how the eyeliner particles of both application styles migrated into the tear film (thin coating protecting the eye). Inside the lash line, the eyeliner migrated quicker and there were more (15-30%) particles moving into the tear film than when applied to outside the lash line.

So, why is this important? Many people have worn eyeliner on the inner side of the lash and never had any eye problems. Yes, this is true because after time the amount of make-up moving into the tear film decreases and after a couple of hours, they found there was a negligible amount left- our natural defenses (i.e. tearing) are pretty good at washing away unwanted particles. However, Dr. Ng also highlighted that the eyeliner can alter the tear film, which can add to discomfort, especially for those with dry or sensitive eyes.

Furthermore, wearers contact lenses may be at a greater risk of retaining unwanted particles as eyeliner often contains waxes and oils that can adhere to the lens (usually designed to adhere to the skin), which can build up and cause redness and irritation. It may also allow for introduction of harmful bacteria from the eyeliner, which can cause eye infections or blurred vision as the lens becomes cloudier.

The study was small, and is not able to provide a definitive conclusion that eyeliner on the interior side of the lash line is definitely harmful, or shed light on the long-term effects. However, it does highlight the possible risks that can be associated, especially for contact lens wearers, with applying eyeliner on the inside of the lash line and it may be advisable to re-think the ‘big eyes’ look, and opt for application outside the lashes.

As a general rule, you don’t want to have any foreign visitors in your tear film, and regardless of where you apply your eyeliner, maintaining healthy vision is important. Cosmetic hygiene and ‘application don’ts’ can help reduce your risk of eye infections, scratches, and suffering with discomfort or blurred vision. See below for cosmetic care tips.

Cosmetic Care Tips:

  1. Keep your eye cosmetics clean! - Make sure applicators, eyelash curlers, brushes, etc. are clean (you can use soap, detergent, or a mild shampoo) before each use, as harmful bacteria can grow in them, which can cause an eye infection.
  2. Do not share or swap eye cosmetics (even with very close friends and family) - Others may have germs or bacteria that may be harmful to you. You are also at greater risk of contamination using testers in stores where multiple people use the same product – avoid testing eye products if you can!
  3. Do not apply eye make-up on the tube, train, bus, car, or anything else that is moving - One bump, jolt, emergency stop could cause you to injure your eye, such as scratching the cornea. Even small scratches can lead to a serious eye infection.
  4. If your eye make-up is causing you irritation, stop using it and remove it immediately, if it persists see a doctor.
  5. Wash your hands! - Our hands carry bacteria that can transfer to your eye, which can then cause an eye infection – err on the side of caution and apply your eye make-up (especially eyeliner) with clean hands.
  6. Keep cosmetic containers clean and don’t use old containers - Mascara manufacturers usually recommend discarding after two – four months after purchase.
  7. Don’t add water to products (i.e. dried up mascara) - Adding water can introduce bacteria, and it can dilute the preservative that is meant to protect against microbial growth.
  8. Take extra care to not scratch the eye when both applying and removing eye make-up - This can lead to an eye infection.
  9. Don’t use make-up on your eyes that is not intended for the area as it may contain ingredients that are not approved for the eye.
  10. Try to avoid storing your cosmetics in direct sunlight or next to heat sources. A cool, dry place is best.
  11. Sharpen your eyeliner pencil to remove any residual ‘stuff’ and cut off a bit of the end with twist-up eyeliner to start with a fresh tip.
  12. Always remove make-up before bed.

A group of significant players in the aviation industry are cooperating to form a new alliance in the field of aircraft modification. As leading companies in the retrofit industry, Etihad Airways Engineering, EAD Aerospace, Lufthansa Technik and Envoy Aerospace have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to form the Independent Aircraft Modifier Alliance (IAMA).

IAMA aims to encourage aircraft owners and operators to modify and modernise their fleets through high quality equipment and rigorous inspections, irrespective of which IAMA members provide the engineering services.

Aircraft modifications, such as the installation of new cabins, connectivity solutions or avionics systems can be approved and documented through a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) offered by providers such as the IAMA members. The alliance addresses customer concerns with regard to documentation, data availability and a worldwide customer support network across different regulatory systems with various national authorities.

The main objectives of the Independent Aircraft Modifier Alliance are to agree to common standards for the documentation and quality of Supplemental Type Certificates, to establish an open, secure documentation platform for airline customers and aircraft owners using STCs, and to inform the relevant public and expert communities about the advantages of STC approved solutions.

Bernhard Randerath, Vice President Design, Engineering and Innovation of Etihad Airways Engineering said: “This alliance is a positive step towards addressing the challenges that customers face with STC solutions today. As the Middle East’s largest MRO, we use OEM solutions, however, Etihad is renowned for innovation and applying our own STC modifications. We believe that OEMs will also benefit from becoming members of IAMA, which is open to all modification providers.

“Our customers need seamless solutions and efficient support during implementation and most importantly in service afterwards. STCs are a fast, cost efficient way to provide modifications, and IAMA is a promising approach to address the critical points of documentation simplicity and continued after-sales support.”

Thomas Rueckert, Head of Base Maintenance and Aircraft Modification at Lufthansa Technik, said: “We enable aircraft operators to decide objectively and independently on the best possible modification solution for their fleet – regardless of a specific provider. Safety, flexibility of solutions for implementation of customer requests, along with speed and efficiency are at the heart of our activities.

“In addition, value retention and reliable life cycle support are essential factors for aircraft operators and owners. IAMA jointly develop transparent standards that will help our customers make the right decisions,” adds Andreas Gherman, Head of the Design Organisation at Lufthansa Technik.

Patrick Gindre, Sales Director of EAD Aerospace says: “The aftermarket modifier ecosystem needed a “home” to discuss our challenges, best practices and to improve our services by delivering a common message to the market. Together, we have the objective to shape the future of the STC in the aviation world”.

Romain Mbwang Seppoh, Head of Airworthiness at EAD Aerospace adds: "The retro fit market has specific challenges to be handled with customers and operators in terms of organisation and mandatory exchange of data. IAMA will be a collaborative and knowledgeable reference and voice to regulators and standardisation committees regarding how STCs efficiently fulfil these obligations. Being in the heart of the activity, IAMA tackle those challenges daily. The alliance will foster proportionate and adapted regulations, and jointly develop and provide the optimal tools to its members.”

“We are excited to be a part of IAMA,” said Adrian Honer, partner and ODA Lead Administrator at Envoy Aerospace, LLC.  “The affiliation will provide our members with a significant voice to resolve issues that affect retrofit certification approvals.  Our involvement in IAMA reflects our commitment to our customers, present and future, to be a leader in retrofit aircraft certification quality.”

Marilyn Feigl, partner and ODA Administrator at Envoy Aerospace adds: “Retrofit modifications on aircraft have unique challenges.  IAMA will offer its members mentorship and counselling to deal with these challenges, especially when dealing with regulatory agencies and the industry at large.  This will help raise the certification standards to ensure the highest quality STC products.”

The launch meeting of the IAMA is scheduled for spring 2019. The Independent Aircraft Modifier Alliance is open to all market participants including aircraft manufacturers, airlines, suppliers and lessors. Founding members of the alliance believe that a strong and transparent retrofit market will benefit everyone. Members of the alliance work together to offer a transparent, distinct and independent market for aircraft retrofits, providing greater choice for operators and added value for the aviation industry.

Welcome to Euphresco network

Euphresco is a network of organisations funding research projects and coordinating national research in the phytosanitary area. The overall goal of Euphresco is to support coordination and collaboration in the area of phytosanitary research, and to become a strong, long-term network of funders that fully incorporate existing and new members.

The draft programme of the 2019 EPPO/Euphresco scientific colloquium can be found HERE. Pre-registration is possible by clicking HERE

The rate of introduction and establishment of new plant pests has increased steadily over the last century as a result of expanding globalisation of trade, exacerbated by climate change. At the same time, European phytosanitary science capacity (taxonomy, classical plant pathology, etc.) has been eroding in the last decades, because they are no longer on the forefront of science priorities. This brought the plant health area to a state of emergency, as indicated by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization's Madeira statement (2004).

In Europe, many of the phytosanitary policies, regulations and underpinning technical recommendations are determined at regional level, while the research that supports them is mostly funded and carried out at the national level. Coordination of such national activities is then vital to reduce the impact of plant pests on the economy, the environment and the health of citizens at the level of each country but more generally at European and international level.

Public Release:

Synthetic suede gives high-end cars that luxury feel

American Chemical Society

Leather car seats were once synonymous with luxury, but these days, synthetic suede is becoming the material of choice for high-end automobiles. With increased affluence worldwide, and the growing popularity of car-sharing and luxury-driving services, business is booming for manufacturers of synthetic suede. Among these companies, Japanese firms sit snugly in the driver's seat, reports an article in Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), the weekly newsmagazine of the American Chemical Society.

Japanese textile companies have combined manufacturing excellence, a willingness to invest in research and development and the ability to form relationships with car makers to develop high-quality seat materials, writes Senior Correspondent Jean-Fran?ois Tremblay. Toray Industries invented high-end artificial suede---which is two-thirds polyester and one-third polyurethane---back in the 1970s. The material was initially popular in the apparel sector, but as fashion trends changed, Toray and its Italian subsidiary, Alcantara, found a new market for the material in luxury cars. Now, increased demand for synthetic suede has prompted the companies to expand their facilities and ramp up production.

Other Japanese manufacturers of synthetic suede and leather are also doing well. Asahi Kasei is increasing its capacity by 50 percent in Japan for its Lamous brand of synthetic suede, which is already used in about 100 models of luxury cars worldwide. Seiren offers a new type of synthetic leather branded Quole, made from polyurethane and polyester fabric. According to the manufacturers, the synthetic materials offer advantages over natural leather and suede, such as lightness, weather- and stain-resistance and a wide range of colors and properties.

The article, "The unexpected source of that luxury feel in car interiors," is freely available here.

The American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, is a not-for-profit organization chartered by the U.S. Congress. ACS is a global leader in providing access to chemistry-related information and research through its multiple databases, peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences. ACS does not conduct research, but publishes and publicizes peer-reviewed scientific studies. Its main offices are in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.

Like a punch-drunk boxer struggling to get back on his feet, HTC's fortunes have been pretty dire since Samsung launched the Galaxy S2. HTC had previously been the poster child of the Android scene, working with Google to produce such defining handsets as the Dream and Nexus One, but it had nothing in its arsenal capable of challenging Samsung's world-beating device. Since then, the company's fall from grace has been difficult to watch, with 2011's ill-fated acquisition of Beats Audio and the failure of the HTC Flyer tablet causing its position in the market to tumble. Last year's well-designed but commercially lacking HTC One X couldn't stem the tide either, and the Taiwanese firm has recently announced that its 2012 Q4 profits are down 91 per cent year-on-year.

Clearly, something dramatic is required to pull HTC out of the doldrums, and the company is hoping that it will be the HTC One. Yes, that's a confusing moniker - especially when you consider that we've already had a multitude of phones which bear the "One" name - but it's apt. This is unquestionably "the one" and HTC's biggest throw of the dice in 2013; it's the company's leading product for the year and the timing of its launch - just before its rival - the Samsung Galaxy S4 - hits the marketplace cannot be considered a coincidence. HTC is laying down all of its chips on this phone, making it a gamble it can ill afford to lose.

For the most part, the HTC One would appear to repay its manufacturer's confidence. It's an exceptionally well-constructed piece of technology, bringing together brushed metal with Corning's super-tough Gorilla Glass 2 and just the smallest hint of plastic. HTC's designers have turned their back on the rounded, almost organic shape of the One X (and the Samsung Galaxy S4, it should be noted) and have instead created a stark yet attractive industrial look which practically begs to be picked up and interacted with.

Available in silver and black, the former option is the most visually pleasing - not to mention the more robust, as we've been hearing reports that the paint on the black model chips off easily, leaving unsightly scratches. It's not a small phone - the 4.7-inch screen ensures that - and at 143 grams it's not the lightest device you'll put in your trouser pocket this year either. Even so, the HTC One feels solid and dependable, and is likely to survive an accidental drop much better than the glass-clad Nexus 4 and the plastic-covered Samsung Galaxy S3.

The phone's display is another element sure to garner positive reactions. Colour replication and contrast are both excellent, and the image remains bold no matter how you hold the phone thanks to some solid viewing angles. With a full HD resolution of 1920x1080, it offers a pixel density of 469ppi - comfortably trouncing the iPhone 5's retina screen, which only musters 326ppi. This willy-waving will doubtless delight Android devotees, but in actual fact all those additional pixels mean little in reality; both screens are so pin-sharp that it's impossible to spot any jaggy edges in most scenarios. Although display dimensions are on the up, it would appear that we've reached a ceiling when it comes to pixel density. The HTC One's display might have the numerical advantage on paper, but it doesn't yield as much of a real-world benefit as the numbers suggest - and the extra pixels put added pressure on the phone's internal architecture, especially evident in gaming.

Not that the HTC One's processor shows any signs of breaking into a sweat, of course. Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor is doing the legwork, clocked at 1.7GHz with 2GB of RAM providing support. Performance is predictably impressive, with no stuttering or pauses between actions. Benchmark tests put the HTC One ahead of the current pack, but we'd imagine that lead will be wiped out once the Samsung Galaxy S4 finally makes its way into the hands of consumers worldwide. That particular handset comes in two variations depending on the market: the version boasting the Exynos Octa chipset should comfortably trounce the One, while the US/UK edition features the same processor as HTC's effort, but runs at a higher clock speed.

"Specs reveal market-leading performance but driving so many pixels brings down frame-rates compared to the Nexus 4."

HTC One HTC One X Nexus 4 Galaxy Note 2
Quadrant Standard 12488 4870 4906 5765
AnTuTu Benchmark 24374 11065 10580 13305
GLBenchmark 2.5.1 Egypt On-Screen (Device Native Res) 31FPS 21.7FPS 39FPS 18FPS
GLBenchmark 2.5.1 Egypt Off-Screen (1080p) 34FPS 14FPS 31FPS 17FPS

The raw power on tap makes the HTC One a formidable platform for gaming. Graphically intense 3D titles pose little problem for the phone, and that high resolution display gives titles like Dead Trigger and Real Racing 3 a new level of vibrancy. Games running at native resolution may suffer a performance hit compared to the Nexus 4 though. As the GLBenchmark scores reveal, GPU scores are similar between the two devices, but the HTC One has over twice the resolution to service. Other features are genuinely impressive though: the front-facing stereo speakers, utilising HTC's new BoomSound audio tech, produce bold and punchy sound, giving a real edge to gaming and movie playback.

Externally, HTC has made some significant changes with this phone, but it's refreshingly different in terms of software too. HTC Sense - the company's custom user interface skin - has been overhauled and improved. Sense was a big deal back in the early days of Android, but in recent years has become somewhat bloated; the cartoon-like icons and extensive changes from the "stock" Android UI no doubt caused many potential buyers to flock to HTC's rivals. Sense 5 has learned from these mistakes. It's as close to stock as it's ever been, and the innovative BlinkFeed service - which calls to mind Windows Phone's Metro UI and the popular iOS and Android Flipboard application - completely changes the way you interact with your phone.

BlinkFeed allows you to pull in web feeds, Facebook posts and tweets, and puts them front and center on your home screen. BlinkFeed is the first thing you see when you unlock the phone, which can take some getting used to if you're a seasoned Android user. The HTC One only comes with one additional home screen out of the box, although it's possible to add more and change your default home screen if you'd rather not use BlinkFeed - unfortunately, there's no way of disabling it if it's not your cup of tea.

"HTC's custom skin - Sense - is very close to the stock Android OS, with some surprisingly cool modifications."

Much has been made of the HTC One's "ultrapixel" camera; instead of trying to best the Xperia Z's 13.1-megapixel sensor, HTC has opted for a 4-megapixel variant. The key difference here - according to HTC - is that the ultrapixel sensor lets in three times as much light as a traditional mobile camera lens, allowing for better performance in darker environments and generally superior image quality. This boast is partly true; the HTC One is able to capture photos in dimly-lit locations with little difficulty. Another obvious advantage is that because the megapixel count is lower, shots are faster to process and have smaller file sizes - which streamlines the whole process of sharing them on social networks and the like.

Add to this the much-hyped HTC "Zoe" shooting mode - where the camera shoots video and stills as one, allowing you to cycle through the resultant clip to find the best image - as well as the usual raft of alternative shooting modes and filters and you've got a phone which is clearly intended to appease photography lovers. Even so, it's not entirely perfect; those 4-megapixel shots don't hold up too well when you zoom in close, and compared to practically any other leading smartphone on the market right now, the One's pictures are decidedly lacking in comparison. Being able to shoot in almost any light is something we could really get used to, but the photos the phone produces are often disappointing.

"The HTC One's camera has superb low-light performance, but photo detail is compromised compared to other smartphones."

HTC's much-hyped 'ultrapixel' tech means that its new phone ships with a 4-megapixel sensor, but those larger pixels allow three times as much light to enter the lens. Low-light shooting is impressive, but as you can see from these example images, overall detail is lacking when compared to other phones.

Battery life is another negative element to contend with. The HTC One's 2300mAh power cell struggles to cope with the demands of that massive screen and hungry processor and as a result it's almost impossible to get an entire day of usage out of a single charge. HTC is clearly aware of this issue and has included a power saving mode which allows you to take steps to prolong the phone's stamina - such as disabling data connectivity when the screen is off, or limit CPU usage - but these choices are too extreme in many cases, leaving you with a device with drastically curtailed functionality, all for a few extra minutes of battery life.

HTC One: the Digital Foundry verdict

HTC has a lot riding on the success of the One, and has pulled out all the stops to produce a top-tier handset capable of challenging the best the smartphone world has to offer. The brushed metal casing delivers a premium feel and the super-sharp full HD screen is one of the best we've seen on an Android device so far. To cap it all off, the quad-core CPU grants the HTC One the power required to run the latest games and tackle applications without issue. Even HTC's Sense UI - viewed in the past as a bloated and sluggish beast - has been refined and improved to create something genuinely useful.

"The HTC One is a premium product with exceptional power, but battery life is average."

There are drawbacks to consider though: battery life is average at best, and the lack of Android 4.2 (it ships with 4.1.1, but an updated is promised) means that the phone is behind the curve when it comes to software updates. However, we can't help but feel that these issues won't be the reason that most potential buyers will keep their wallets firmly in their pockets - the impending launch of the Galaxy S4 is likely to have a more significant impact on the fortunes of the HTC One, and we can well imagine that many prospective buyers will put off a potential purchase to see if the new Samsung device offers a tangible improvement. At the time of writing, the HTC One is unquestionably one of the best smartphones money can buy and a sterling effort by the former king of the Android world, but you might want to consider the cheaper Nexus 4 and the aforementioned Samsung handset before pledging your allegiance to HTC's banner.

How to Grow Crypto Assets

Crypto as a new asset class has opened up new frontiers in investing platforms. The 2017 Bull Run that caught many unaware raised billions of dollars for early adopters. Then the 2018 crash came and a good number of people made loses. This left many skeptical of cryptocurrencies as dependable investment instruments. What needs to be appreciated is that investing in cryptos should be approached with the same care as other investments in and out of financial markets.

There are several ways (many touted as get-rich-quick-crypto schemes) that crypto users can use to grow their investments. It is important that investors scrutinize and audit all strategies presented first before committing funds into them. Reckless and blind investing leads to loses that create panic and reduce the general expectation of cryptocurrencies. Below are select strategies on how to grow crypto assets. We recommend working with specialist crypto advisors

This is rather obvious and the most common strategy. Although Holding poses a high loss risk, it is important to have a solid idea of the investment you wish to take a holding position with. Holding can realize significant profits in the long term. This involves picking an asset whose technology and use case scenarios have high prospects of adoption in the future. With this approach, there is some sort of belief that price falls are relatively short-term.

Holding can also bring in more cryptocurrencies through airdrops and reward tokens. Some exchanges reward users for holding coins on their platforms. Crypto companies on the other hand give out tokens through airdrops for marketing and advertising. Always consult with industry accounting professionals on the tax implications of holding cryptocurrencies, find out more here.

Mining cryptocurrencies was once a highly lucrative undertaking. Now it has been left to big companies due to the high costs of electricity and mining instruments. However, small miners have a chance to mine through joining mining pools. Also, it is important to note that crypto mining algorithms are set to adjust difficulty levels according to the competitiveness of the mining. As such, mining costs will technically never be too high for profits. If it becomes totally expensive to mine, miners will pull out then the algorithm readjust to simpler mathematical computations that are less costly to complete.

Running Masternodes

Masternodes are the miner equivalent in Proof of Stake consensus. Just as miners are rewarded in block rewards for adding new blocks to the network, Masternodes are rewarded in network coins for verifying transactions and securing the network. To run a Masternode, one must hold a given amount of coins as required by the network. Also, they must be able to stay online 24/7 every day.

Day Trading

Trading in cryptocurrencies involves buying at low prices and selling them at higher prices. Through this, one can realise profits several times in a day. This requires some level of expertise in trading and a good hand as it is almost similar to gambling. Users with no experience in trading can use trading bots to trade.

Arbitrage is another form of trading. It involves buying crypto assets at low prices on one exchange and selling them at higher prices on another. This form of trading is known as spread trading.

Investing in crypto companies

The ICO craze and the subsequent low take off of massively funded projects may be discouraging. Nevertheless, there are crypto companies that eventually grow enormously. With proper research, one should be able to identify a growing company and invest in for a stake in its profits.

Crypto and gaming go hand in hand and the gaming industry may soon explode from decentralisation. Investing in unique in-game collectibles may turn out into a great investment as unique collectibles sell at significantly high prices. Also, developers can curate unique assets on gaming platforms. The P-2-P ecosystem provides direct entry and cooperation between players and developers. This gives creatives a chance to monetise on their unique assets.

Creating content on crypto supported platforms such as Steemit enables content creators receive pay in crypto. Also, once one creates a huge following on social platforms, they can conduct affiliate marketing for crypto companies, thus earning from their referral programs.

Compound, a Coinbase funded lending platform is a centralised platform that lends directly to borrowers. It offers very short term loans which can be used to short cryptocurrencies. By shorting, instead of expecting a rise in price value, you put your money on the opposite. It is quite similar to gambling as you predict a certain fall in coin prices. While it may appeal more to crypto haters, it looks like a good way to double up on coins in bear markets.

As initially warned, different investments work for different people according to the initial capital required as well as potential risks in loses. Without diligence, crypto investment can go wrong as any other investment would.

11th March Madrid terrorist attack: Funerals of the victims

This is the third day of official mourning, and the first funerals for the vicitims of Thurdays bombing in Madrid are being held today. I think it is time to withdraw a bit from all the suffering of the families, and to let them express their grief and anger in private with eachother. The camaras have covered every single detail of the past 50 hours in minute detail, and all of us in Spain have become a bit addicted to the television and radio reports. I suggest that after the massive protest marches held yesterday all over Spain (where we were all given the chance to publically express our outrage at the terrorist attacks and to show how our sympathy and solidarity lay with the direct victims), it is now time to look ahead rather than behind us, to insist that the authorities start to inform the population about the investigations being undertaken to discover who actually planted the bombs, and to allow the families of the victims to mourn in peace and privacy.

I’m not going to include any more items about the aftermath of March 11th attacks, unless new information is discovered and offered, about who is behind them.

The venue is well documented as a very haunted location and its history is huge don't miss your chance to do this event with us - now...........are you brave enough to join us HISTORY: Built in 1610 following on Act introduced by King James I, which stated that all counties had to have their own ‘House of Correction’; Shepton Mallet was the oldest working prison in the United Kingdom up until its closure at the end of March 2013. The land was purchased from Reverend Edward Barnards for a cost of £160. The House of correction would hold men women and children together. Debtors, thieves, ‘misfits’, vagrants and people with mental health disorders were sentenced to long periods. There are very few records of the conditions inside, many people could not read and write and it was not considered necessary to keep a record of ‘matters of such distaste’.
Conditions and favours by jailors resulted in promiscuous behaviour, lax discipline and drunken behaviour. Primitive sanitation led to regular outbreaks of gaol fever, ulcers, jaundice, asthma, itch and venereal diseases. The only real medical aid was the local surgeon (doctor) being called in to pronounce a death. Following any deaths within the house of correction bodies were taken to an unconsecrated burial ground just outside the prison, the door in the wall on Frithfield lane still exists as do 9 unmarked graves within the grounds. It was common practice with British executions to bury prisoners in this way. The prison has a long history of death sentences being carried out under methods including HDQ, hanged and by firing squad. The Hanging room which still exists, though has been used as office space for many years.
Following the Monmouth Rebellion of 1642-1685 at least 12 Shepton men were HDQ for having sympathised with the rebels, their bowels were burned and their heads placed on poles around the town. The last death sentence at Shepton Prison occurred in 1945 under military use. The last civilian hanged there was John Lincoln in 1926, for fatally shooting 25 year old Edward Richards in Trowbridge on 24th December 1925. The list of executioners used included Thomas and Albert Pierrepoint. The gallows were removed in 1967 after the return of the prison to civilian use in 1966. The prison closed in 1930 due to under use; it held an average of just 51 prisoners. It re-opened in 1939 as a British military prison. It soon housed 300 men from all armed services, some being placed in huts in the prison yard.
Between 1942-1945 it was run as an American military prison, housing 768 soldiers. At the end of 1944, it was guarded by 12 officers and 82 enlisted men. 18 American servicemen were executed, 16 hanged and 2 shot by firing squad. It returned to British military use in September 1945, used primarily for servicemen due to be discharged after serving their sentence. Soldiers held there included the Kray twins who were serving out their national service after absconding, it was here they met Charlie Richardson. Shepton Mallet prison is believed to have housed the Domesday book and Magna Carta, the HMS Victory logbooks and the Olive Branch Petition during the War. Over 300 documents were housed there at one point, some were moved (not including the Domesday book) when Bristol and Bath began being hit by German bombs – the documents were spread to different locations to reduce the risk of the entire collection being destroyed.
The last reported escape was in 1993, three prisoners descended the prison wall using knotted sheets after tunneling through a two foot wall, and they were soon recaptured. The earliest escape on record was in 1765. At 75 feet high the prison has some of the highest walls in the prison estate.

16 Examples of Modern Menu Designs

The food business is a fast-growing industry that caters to over a million individuals per day. But where the demand is high, so is the competition. In fact, restaurants, fast-food chains, diners, and other food joints strive to make their presence known in the market through their exotic menu items and state-of-the art menu designs. And it’s not just your typical hand-held menu cards, we’re talking about large digital displays that can lure in just about any food-loving individual. After all, a happy tummy can lead to a happy life, right?

Advantages of a Well-Designed Menu

To describe a menu in its simplest sense, it’s generally described as a list of food and beverage offerings that a restaurant, a fast-food joint, a catering service, or any food establishment has in store for its customers. But if a plain printout of this list could serve the same purpose just as well, then why do most, if not all, businesses pay close attention to the way they design their menus?

For us to fully understand its importance, here are the significant benefits that a good menu design can bring you:

Better Customer Experience

For any business, leaving a positive impression to your audience can always lead you to good fortune. You see, it’s all about giving them an experience they’ll never forget. Apart from providing good service and creating a great atmosphere to brighten one’s mood, the menu serves as a point of communication between you and your customers as well. An individual may feel contented with how your menu is designed, in which it stays attractive yet informative enough to effectively deliver its intended purpose. This enables you to connect with potential customers and strengthen your relationship with loyal ones.

Quicker Order Time

Customers often feel pressured when having to decide on what to order from a menu, almost like a burden they’d want to escape as soon as possible. Sometimes, it can take a while for a person to decide, and when too much time has passed, they are forced to order just about anything from the menu instead of what they were really looking for. To ensure that customers are able to order something they want without wasting too much time, having a well-designed menu would be the perfect solution. This would mean presenting menu items by specific categories, emphasizing dishes through lines and boxes, and using design elements to highlight significant parts of your menu.

Boosts Sales

As business-minded individuals, we’re quick to associate customers with sales, and since sales mean profit for the business to survive, finding the right marketing tools is essential in keeping the business afloat.

Some restaurant owners invest thousands in producing print and digital materials, such as TV commercials, newspaper ads, business flyers, and designer brochures, just to promote their business. Because of this, they sometimes forget how something as simple as an eye-catching restaurant menu creation could be just as valuable. Not only can a beautifully made menu design spark interest among an audience, but it could also encourage one to order. Customers feel drawn to items that leave them salivating, prompting them to order more dishes from your menu.

6 Types of Menu Designs

The widespread use of the average menu dates back to the second half of the eighteenth century when Chinese merchants discovered how they could cater to busy customers who had little to no time to prepare their own meals for dinner. While menu designs are a lot different from how they were centuries ago, they still serve a common purpose. They’re often showcased differently for various reasons, usually depending on the type of business being run.

1. Paper/Card

In some cafeteria-style restaurants and food chains, menus are either printed on sheets of paper or are used as disposable placemats. Other restaurants even laminate their menus or use menu covers to prevent them from getting ruined by tears, spills, and other substances. While paper menus are not as durable as menu cards, they’re still as great for making wedding menus and restaurant menu flyers.

2. Menu Board

You might have noticed how food trucks and fast-food restaurants typically show their available items on large posters or display boards, which are situated just above the service counter. Considering how these establishments provide on-the-go services to cater a large number of customers at a time, a full-blown display of food and beverage items can definitely speed up the waiting lines. Cafés and other small eateries even use chalkboard menu designs as a creative method to showcase their goods to prospective customers.

3. Outdoor Sign Board

Outdoor sign boards are common among businesses that cater to special outdoor events, where these boards are situated at the entrance of the venue, along with the buffet table, or near the open bar. However, they are sometimes utilized by mid-level to high-end restaurants that want to attract customers with their mouthwatering entrées as well. These sign boards are ideal for drink menus and cocktail menus, or even for regular food menus.

4. Digital Display

Now that we live in an age of LCD, LED, and plasma displays, some establishments have decided to steer clear of the ordinary static menus and go for a more modern approach.

Digital displays offer a number of benefits for a business. For one, this allows a business to get creative with animation, motion graphics, and other digital effects to create a menu that stands out. This makes it easier for restaurants to control what goes on display, especially when dealing with price changes and converting from breakfast to late-morning menu items.

5. Online Menu

Thanks to the innovative world of technology, businesses are able to market their goods through online advertising and company websites. A lot of food establishments take advantage of this by featuring their food menus for customers to browse through and order from online. Here, payments may be done through online banking or a cash-on-delivery basis. It’s no different from the regular kind of online shopping, as menu items are typically displayed in a list or grid-type manner.

6. Secret Menu

Probably a cultural phenomenon you may or may not be completely familiar with; the so-called “secret menu” consists of unofficial menu selections that certain restaurants have available. But with this type of menu, you only learn about these items through word of mouth. Employees aren’t actually obligated to tell you what these items are, as this would take away the whole idea of having a secret menu in the first place.

Design Tips to Improve Your Menu

Looking to give your menu a makeover? Here are some clever design tips to help you out:

  • Keep it organized. There are different ways to attain a clean-cut look for your menu design, even if you aren’t going for the full-blown minimalist appearance. Start by sectioning your menu into certain categories, where each item should be under its corresponding course meal. Observing proper alignment is a must, especially when it comes to pricing each item on the menu. You may even emphasize best-sellers and the chef’s specials by using colors, bold text, or other graphics.
  • Make use of descriptive text. One way to make your dishes sound even more appetizing is by adding evocative phrasing that could leave a reader’s taste buds tingling. Labeling items with descriptions that could awaken one’s senses is a great way to trigger emotions and entice diners even more. While it won’t be necessary to list every ingredient of a given dish, you might want to mention particular components that individuals with certain food allergies need to know about.
  • Choose the right color scheme. Applying color theory in advertising is a great way to attract attention. That’s because people tend to respond emotionally to colors, like how children are drawn towards bright lights and vivid colors. Knowing this, you want to make sure the colors you use reflect the identity of your brand as well. This will help build emphasis on your brand and develop consistency in your marketing mediums.
  • Use photos with care. By adding high-quality images to your menu, you can effortlessly stir up an appetite even without the use of words. This gives your audience a clear picture of what you have to offer, and a good reason why it’s worth a try. However, low-quality photos may garner an opposite reaction, so you might want to refrain from including anything grainy or pixelated from gracing your menu’s layout.
  • Add your logo design. A business logo is just as important as every other element of a menu design. Why? Because a logo design plays a key role in branding, so if you’re running a restaurant, you’d want the idea of your business to stick to the minds of customers. It serves as a constant reminder of your brand’s identity, as well as a person’s overall experience.

Running a business is never an easy job. You need to focus on improving every component that affects a person’s perception towards your business in order for it to prosper. Everything from the way you decorate the interior and exterior elements of your establishment creates an impression, including your menu design. But bear in mind that a menu is more than just a sheet of paper; it’s the tool that creates a bridge between you and your customers. This is a vital matter that entrepreneurs, designers, and engineers all need to handle accordingly.
