By Andreea Andrei, Marketing and Business Administration Executive at The Cloud Computing, SaaS and Security Awards
This article is part of an A to Z series by Cloud and SaaS Awards, continuing with O for Off-Premises
The current changes all countries in the world are experiencing since the spread of COVID-19 force us to reinvent ourselves and turn crises into great opportunities.
More and more organizations get captivated by the growth of off-premises. Thus, it is vital to ascertain its effects on the quality of life of those engaged. The concept, categories, and characteristics of remote work are broadened, and certain research is offered to account for its benefits and drawbacks in this article.
What were the positive changes COVID-19 made?
One of the clearest aspects of these changes is labor relations and the fulfilment of the obligations derived from them, which in the vast majority of opportunities can no longer be fulfilled in the workplace, but rather remotely, as a result of forced confinement due to the spread of the pandemic.
Advances in telecommunications allow us today to speak of a new labor modality, through which people who can work outside the company's facilities are linked using new information technologies, with the aim of reducing costs for the employer and improving the worker's quality of life.
This is presented through several modalities that vary from "off-premises," "online work," "remote work," and "work from home," which have become a central axis of study and discussion to face current critical situations of social isolation and allow us to continue with work activities without the termination or suspension of employment contracts simultaneously.
As a result of the current post COVID-19 crisis, many countries across the globe have made the decision to implement off-premises working in their regulatory framework, insuring business continuity and the guarantee of working conditions for workers; this is the case for many firms throughout the world, including Ecuador and Chile, per example.
What are the advantages of off-premises work?
Off-premises, seen as a form of work organization, involves the performance of paid activities using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to connect the worker, the employer, and the development of work activities without requiring the physical presence of the worker in the employer's facilities.
This can be done in three ways:
- Self-employed – the home or place used for professional activities can be chosen independently. Thus, work is always done outside the company and the self-employed only go on-premises on some occasions;
- Mobile work – in which there is no established workplace and the main tools for development are ICT;
- Hybrid work – work is done two or three days per week at home and the rest of the time in an office.
There are issues that could be addressed around off-premises labour, however, positive points that generate many benefits for both parties (employer and employee) must be considered:
- Economic – labor effects: cost reduction, higher productivity, labor flexibility, stress reduction and access to people with disabilities;
- Legal – contractual effects: flexibility of hours, reduced absenteeism, low staff turnover, greater satisfaction and work commitment;
- Social – family effects: improvement of the quality of life, greater possibility of parents who are heads of households to accompany their children;
- Technological effects: pollution reduction, vehicular traffic reduction, greater access to ICTs, immediacy of information.
In times of crisis, the best option is to see the opportunities for:
- Change;
- Transformation;
- Adaptation;
- Improvement in the quality of life of people, cities, of countries and societies.
Will on-site work be replaced by remote work?
ICTs do not replace human labor conditions, they are a useful tool that allows us to see everyday life from another perspective: the possibility of connecting, relating, and developing work activities without requiring physical presence in a specific place. However, it requires:
- Discipline;
- Organization;
- Conviction;
- Ability to adapt to change, both as an employer and as an employee.
In this sense, Information and Telecommunications Technologies (ICTs) transform the means of labor relations but not the working conditions, since these are still in force, such as: working hours, salary, labor nature of teleworking, rest, equality, voluntariness, legislation applicable, union guarantees and social security guarantees, and labor risks.
The infrastructure of off-premises businesses
In recent years, the demand for computing resources has increased dramatically. The majority of businesses did not initially need to build an internal IT infrastructure. However, firms in practically every sector today rely on complex technological architectures to support their day-to-day operations.
Many business models have sprouted up in response to the rising need for IT infrastructure. Mostly due to the rise in demand for managed infrastructure over the past ten years, cloud computing has become increasingly popular. Some of the business models that have resulted from the cloud revolution include IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.
The question whether to create the infrastructure internally or outside is crucial. It could have a long-term effect on the company's performance, efficiency, and operational expenses. Understanding the values of off-premises infrastructure is key, given the possible repercussions of choosing the incorrect strategy.
- Administration: The IT infrastructure must be handled by the provider of managed services. Electricity supply, maintenance, upkeep, data backup, and other duties are handled by the cloud provider.
- Property and control: The building and the processing power belong to the cloud service provider. Like a renter, the company utilizes the infrastructure. According to the terms of your contract with the supplier, you may make use of the infrastructure. The decisions regarding the facilities and resources is less controlled by the company.
- Capital output: Most cloud service providers give a pay-as-you-go option. This subscription-based business strategy eliminates the need for significant upfront costs. Customers often have the option of leaving the service whenever they wish. They won't run the danger of being forced to maintain unproductive projects on their balance sheet as a result.
- Costs: Depending on the resources they utilize, users may be charged a membership fee or normal fees. Off-premises computing may be particularly adaptable in this sense. Each of the provider's clients pays a portion of the costs connected with sustaining the provider's facilities and resources. Customers will often pay less as a result, compared to alternatives that are located on-site.
- Scalability: Cloud service providers give more flexible resource scaling. Resources can be increased or decreased by organizations as needed. The off-premises strategy nearly always makes the right number of resources accessible.
- Network: Because the infrastructure is not situated on corporate property, users may only access it online. The cloud provider and company will need to set up a secure private network if connectivity over the Internet is not acceptable.
- Security: It is the cloud service provider's responsibility to keep its platform and infrastructure secure. Thus, only the security of the apps that are installed by the firm using the infrastructure are its responsibility. Nonetheless, this decreases the need for investment significantly.
- Management of bugs and updates: Hardware and software updates on platforms are handled by the cloud service provider. There may be little to no control over how and when modifications take place for companies utilizing the service. Having said that, cloud service providers may update resources without affecting service levels because of its scalability.
Overall, off-premises are those that are not within the business facilities, but within the cloud. That is, the processing and storage of data are done on servers managed and maintained by third-party companies. The use of off-premise servers is a way that many companies have found to reduce their data center costs, since it allows more mobility to access information and faster scalability, especially needed post-pandemic.
If your business has its infrastructure off-premises, these are Cloud Awards categories that might interest you:
- Best Cloud Infrastructure: this award is based on reliability and scalability, respectively;
- Best Hybrid Cloud Solution: the main criteria for this award, which favors a practical approach to cloud services, are latency, security, and dependability in a real-world solution;
The rest of categories can be viewed here. Please keep in mind that you still have time to submit your late entry for the Cloud Awards 2022-2023 program.

Talk:2776: Crystal Ball
I added an explanation of spherical aberration and the tendency of light to distort around spherical objects, as well as the idea of how fisheye lenses use this principle to do their thing. Darkwolf0218 (talk) 01:01, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you, the spherical aberration discussion is much better than before. Much better than the optics course I took where they consistently failed to notice that spherical aberration is because the lens is the wrong shape; it is an engineering problem not a physics problem.22.214.171.124 16:32, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
I can't seem to find the citation toolbar while editing on mobile. So dropping this here for a reference to ball lenses on fiber optic cables. Template:Cite web https://www.edmundoptics.com/knowledge-center/application-notes/optics/understanding-ball-lenses/ Iggynelix (talk) 12:37, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- We very rarely use Cites on this site. Just add a link (in alternate-word form to flow with the sentence, ideally).
- I've never really used toolbar stuff (simple enough to tap in {s, }s, [s and ]s, as well as any <s and >s needed for HTML, etc), and it's simple to (eventually, perhaps checking via Preview that it's not totally messed up on the first go or two) work out what others did to add references and copy the style of the right kinds of them.
- So if you want to mention a link to ball lenses, just do something like this. (PS., use the full ~~~~ when signing Talk contributions, I fixed yours without using the {{unsigned}} 'reminder'..) 18.104.22.168 14:28, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
Why am I now ear-wormed by "Beware of the Beautiful Stranger" by Clive James and Pete Atkin? "That ball needs a re-gun" I said, shelling out The future you see there has all come about" https://genius.com/Pete-atkin-beware-of-the-beautiful-stranger-lyrics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeOYHZQqWao 18.104.22.168 17:56, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
I'm going to edit the part on the title text to be more broad, as Google isn't the exclusive way to receive any kind of information on the internet 22.214.171.124 19:35, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
While we can all applaud the connection of spherical aberration to crystal balls, unfortunately the off-axis part of joke misses the mark as spherical aberration is an aberration that is generally uniform across the frame. 188.8.131.52 19:52, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, the comic seems to be confusing spherical aberration with coma, which makes it hard to produce a good explanation. I think the current reference to fisheye lenses, and distorted shapes, is a red herring. Spherical aberration rather appears as a lack of sharpness. 22.214.171.124 03:34, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
I'm new to the whole xkcd's websites and comic strips and I desire to meet some other xkcd fans as well!ArchaRaid (talk) 23:29, 16 May 2023 (UTC)


text: Sustaining independent living for elderly people in their own homes is desirable for various reasons. As older people become frail or disabled, a 'gap' appears between the abilities they still have and the abilities that are required for independent living. To a certain extent robots may close this gap by providing functionality lost through frailty or disability. A scenario was created involving a re-enablement coach robot. This scenario was discussed with older people, informal carers, and care professionals in focus groups in the Netherlands, United Kingdom and France. The results provided insights into the acceptability of robots and showed that older people were open to the idea of having a robot supporting them in their daily life. Participants were also willing to have a robot perform higher level coordinating tasks while playing the role of the re-enablement coach. However, participants wanted the robot to operate at the same level of intelligence as a human carer. This implies that more attention needs to be given to the development of the social skills and behaviour of such robots. Additionally, participants acknowledged that such a robot would create tension between respecting the autonomy of the user (i.e. robot obeys all commands given by the user) and the promotion of independence in the long term (i.e. robot is programmed to maintain the abilities the user still has). Our results indicate that people preferred to resolve this tension in favour of autonomy. This choice, however, may decrease the user's abilities in the longer term and thereby undermine users' ability to live independently.

Coffee roaster
Owner of www.suchan.coffee
"Very convenient to use, top brewing result. With cuptimo you have only one part to wash and it is ready. You cannot prepare filter coffee easier and better."
Entrepreneur and coffee lover
"After the first test we decided to include cuptimo in our coffee setup. Handling is super easy and fun, especially with the pump!
We're looking forward to experiencing our other beans with cuptimo too."
]]>Coffee enthusiast
"cuptimo is a game changer coffee maker!
The manual pump creates a vacuum in server and the beverage is forced through the paper filter by the reduced pressure. In addition, it produces much more liquid than simply allowing the coffee to draw down via gravity.
For this brew I used coffee from Brazil (Inacio Soares 454) natural anaerobic catuai by @manhattancoffeeroasters.
10,2g, 1/17 ratio, Temperatur 97°C
10 clicks on comandante grinder!
Deep and strong notes of whiskey and chocolate. No bitterness! No astringency!
You must try cuptimo if you want the new taste experience!"

"Ein Brewing Device aus Deutschland, welches dem Barista mit einem neuartigen Verfahren ermöglicht noch mehr komplexe Geschmäcker aus dem Kaffee herauszuholen und richtig Spaß bei der Zubereitung macht!"
]]>German and World Latte Art Champion
Juror, Barista des Jahres 2015
Miteigentümer www.sevenhills.coffee
"I have tested cuptimo for several weeks at home and on the road. You can use it as described and I always had a soft and very sweet cup of coffee. But even as a drip brewer with a Kalita filter it worked and for cold brew it is also very suitable."
]]>Certified Arabica + Robusta Q Grader
SCA Austria Board Member
Austrian Cup Tasters Champ 2019
Co-owner www.altwien.at
"I find the cuptimo brewer especially interesting for the preparation of light, Nordic roasts, because I can brew with very fine grinds. This brings out the full body as well as the fruity notes, but without the bitterness expected with such grinds.
I was also impressed by the intense flavor of cold brews prepared with cuptimo.
cuptimo offers a unique brewing process and should, in my opinion, be part of the standard equipment of every filter coffee connoisseur."

Lorenzo Guadagnini
Violin maker
(1685 – 1746)
Although tales dating from at least the early 19th century allege that Lorenzo Guadagnini, father of the renowned Giovanni Battista, studied with Antonio Stradivari, recent research does not support this theory of supposed lineage between G.B. Guadagnini and the great Cremonese tradition. In fact, it is overwhelmingly likely that Lorenzo never took up violin making at all, considering his itinerant and impoverished living situation and the overall lack of historical evidence connecting him to anyone in the trade.
G.B. Guadagnini's second label bears the script 'filius Laurentij', which may have promoted the notion that he had learned violin making through his father, though Guadagnini's intentions in that regard are unclear. In any case, the numerous instruments that have been attributed to Lorenzo over the years, from both Milan and Piacenza, are more likely misattributed works by other makers of the Guadagnini school including Giovanni Battista himself and his contemporary Gaspar Lorenzini.
Price History
- The auction record for this maker is $303,336 in Nov 1992, for a violin.

David Willey is targeting to deliver the best performance of his cricketing career & said that his "best cricket is probably still to come" after his outstanding five wicket haul on Thursday.
The 30 year's old rhapsodic performance helped his side to grab a six wicket win over Ireland in the first ODI series. However before entering into this series fast bowler had missed England's almost 22 white ball games. Willey gave credit to his bowling coach Pyrah for investing time in his bowling & directing him towards an outstanding performance.
"He's had me badgering him at all times of the day in the winter and fortunately he has invested some time in me. I feel like I'm moving in the right direction and I feel like my best cricket is probably still to come," quoted Willey as saying.
During the first ODI match Ireland managed to score just 172 runs after batting fast whereas Sam Billings & Eoin Morgan's smashing knock of 67 & 36 has helped England to hail victory.
Willey further stated that, "It was just special to be out there playing for England again. The main priority was to enjoy it. I've gone away and worked quite hard to get back near my best. It's been a roller-coaster, but I was just out there enjoying my cricket today." The second ODI between England & Ireland will be played on Saturday.

T.I. has officially added "comedian" to his resume, making his televised stand-up debut in Kevin Hart's upcoming Comic View reboot.
Variety (via Yahoo! Entertainment) was the first to break the news on Friday (July 7), when they revealed that Hart began taping the event on July 6 (his actual birthday), and will conclude taping it on Sunday (July 9).
The event, which will be hosted by Mike Epps, will be taped at the Resorts World in Las Vegas, NV, and will feature the Rubber Band Man strutting his comedic stuff alongside seasoned stand-up performers like Bresha Webb, Tommy Davidson, and Taccara Williams. Wild N'Out's D.C. Young Fly will also be making an appearance on the stage.
"I'm thrilled to partner with BET for the return of 'Comic View' as part of Hartbeat Weekend making this can't-miss celebration of comedy, music and culture," Hart said in a statement to the outlet. "Having hosted 'Comic View' in the past, I understand first-hand the incredible platform this franchise offers for comedians to showcase their talents on a national stage and I'm excited to continue that tradition in Las Vegas."
View this post on Instagram
The news of T.I.'s foray into comedy first broke in early 2022 when footage circulated online showing the Grand Hustle general putting his mic skills to the test at a comedy club. In the two-minute clip, Tip stands on stage and delivers a stand-up routine touching on infidelity.
"If you ever get into the area of cheating, that's no man's land," the Atlanta rapper — who has been married to his wife Tameka "Tiny" Harris for 12 years — joked. "Can you be in a committed relationship and still have a friend from the opposite sex? Now, if you fucking, it don't count!"
While T.I. will have to prove his comedic mettle to the notoriously difficult Comic View crowd, he's definitely faring better with his "unapologetic hood" comedy movie, Da Partments, which is heading for Tubi later this year.
DC Young Fly serves as a producer on the film alongside Tip, while Lil Duval and Karlous Miller are named as executive producers.
"The wait is almost over!!!! Get Ready for Uncensored Unhinged Unapologetic Hood humor at its finest…" T.I. wrote. "Fresh out the minds of ones who made it out the trenches & laughed all the way to the bank!!! Written & Directed by @tip for The Sauce Room Prod by @dcyoungfly & @tip Exec Prod @lilduval & @karlousm Introducing: The Haha Mafia"
He continued: "And Starring the coolest,funniest MFs in Atlanta. Some you know… & Some you should. We all would like to Welcome you to… DaPartments!!! Coming soon @tubi In Partnership wit @Swirlfilmsig."
In other news for T.I., his lengthy courtroom battle against his wife's former friend, Sabrina Peterson — who claimed in a 2021 lawsuit that the rapper held her at gunpoint and was harassing her — appears to finally be nearing an end.
Earlier this month, an appeals court struck down several claims in Sabrina Peterson's lawsuit against T.I. and his wife, Tiny Harris.
Court documents reveal that California's Second District Court of Appeal dismissed Peterson's claims for trade libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage.
The Paper Trail rapper and his wife filed a motion to dismiss Peterson's lawsuit shortly after it was filed. This was based on California's anti-SLAPP law, which protects free speech.
While the couple's motion was initially denied, the appeals court ultimately sided with the couple.
Despite this, Peterson's case has not been completely dismissed. She does, however, owe the couple "fees and costs incurred both in the trial court and on appeal in moving to strike the claims on which they prevailed."
T.I. and Tiny's lawyer Andrew B. Brettler told Law360 he was "generally pleased with the decision." He expressed confidence in clearing his clients of Peterson's defamation and false light invasion of privacy claims.

Lexmark's Q4 Results Underscore Continued Transition to High-Value Solutions
by Robert Palmer | 1/28/15
Lexmark's Q4 and FY 2014 results indicate that the firm's overall transformation strategy remains on track. For the past few years, Lexmark has been quite vocal about its plans to transition from a hardware company to a software and solutions provider. Recent acquisitions and customer wins bolster that position, but overall growth will clearly be challenged by the shift to high-margin solutions, the impact of currency fluctuations, and continued threats to the firm's core printing business.
On a non-GAAP basis, Q4 revenue of $1.03 billion grew 2 percent from $1.01 billion in 2013, exceeding Lexmark's own guidance. Quarterly revenue growth was primarily attributed to increased revenue from Lexmark's "high-value solutions portfolio," which includes the firm's MPS and Perceptive Software businesses. For the year, non-GAAP revenue of $3.73 billion grew 1 percent, compared with $3.68 billion in the year-ago period.
As has been the case for some time, revenue continues to be negatively impacted by Lexmark's exit from the inkjet business. Inkjet Exit revenue of $58 million declined 42 percent in Q4 compared with the year-ago quarter, and was down 37 percent on a year-over-year basis. Lexmark expects Q1 revenues to decline year-to-year, with continued negative impact from the inkjet exit and unfavorable currency fluctuations. Even so, the firm expects revenues to decline slightly excluding the impact of declining inkjet exit revenues.
Lexmark's printing business was essentially flat. Hardware revenues of $236 million were up 3 percent compared with the same period a year ago. Supplies revenue of $646 million declined 2 percent year-over-year, primarily due to the impact of the inkjet exit. Laser supplies revenue of $589 million grew 5 percent compared with the year-ago quarter.
As mentioned, Lexmark's solutions portfolio continues as a bright spot for the firm. Fourth quarter revenue from Higher Value Solutions, excluding acquisition-related adjustments, grew 22 percent year-over-year to $341 million, and accounted for 33 percent of Lexmark's total revenue, up from 28 percent in the same period in 2013. For the year, high value solutions revenue of $1.13 billion, excluding acquisition-related adjustments, grew 18 percent year-to-year and accounted for 30 percent of total revenue, up from 26 percent in the same period a year ago.
On a non-GAAP basis, Lexmark's Q4 net earnings were $68 million, compared with $75 million in the year-ago quarter. For the full year, net earnings declined to $255 million, compared with $269 million in 2013.
Our Take
Lexmark's results presented a bit of a mixed reaction from the market. On the one hand, revenues increased on a yearly basis and the firm's solutions business continues to show strong results. On the other hand, bottom-line results missed most market expectations and Q1 guidance was lukewarm at best. Many analysts remain concerned about Lexmark's dependence on its core printing business, despite a continued mix shift to higher value solutions and an aggressive acquisition strategy that has clearly improved the firm's long-term outlook.
There is no question that Lexmark's continued transition to high value solutions and services, particularly managed services and ECM solutions, is paying strong dividends. The Perceptive acquisition has served as a foundation for Lexmark's software business, and the recent acquisitions of ReadSoft and Claron Technology should only strengthen that position. Lexmark highlighted several key deals that it landed in the fourth quarter, including a five-year MPS agreement for approximately $100 million with Alberta Health Services (AHS) of Alberta, Canada.
Lexmark also continues to show favorable results from the decision to transition its printing business to higher-end product segments. It is not easy these days to show revenue growth from hardware sales, and while the inkjet exit will continue to be a drag on revenues for some time, the overall strategy appears sound. Of course, many of the Lexmark's competitors are now leveraging inkjet technology to target the dominant position of laser in the office segment, so it remains to be seen how the firm might respond to those threats.
Meanwhile, Lexmark is slowly but surely becoming a major force in the office software and solutions business. The firm is widely recognized now as a leader in enterprise ECM, and recent acquisitions will strengthen its portfolio in document capture, workflow automation, and other areas. Lexmark is also doing a good job of leveraging its software business to sustain its overall printing business, which will help deflect declining demand in that sector.

The FINANCIAL — Presidential candidate, former governor of the National Bank of Ukraine Serhii Tihipko says that he is not interested in the post of the NBU governor at the moment.
He said this during live broadcast at the Ukraina TV channel.
"I can say it right now: the post of the National Bank's governor holds no interest for me," Tihipko said.
He mentioned that the position of the NBU governor is not a political post, which is why it is unsuitable for him as party leader now.
At the same time, Tihipko believes that the issue of replacement of the NBU governor is timely and that a new President should promptly propose to the Verkhovna Rada a new candidate to replace current NBU governor Volodymyr Stelmakh.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, presidential elections took place on January 17.
According to different exit polls, Tihipko won the third place following Party of Regions' leader Viktor Yanukovych and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
On January 14, Tihipko accused Stelmakh of his open support to President Viktor Yuschenko under conditions of confrontation between the President and the Cabinet of Ministers.
Five-year term of National Bank Governor Volodymyr Stelmakh expired on December 16, 2009.

Patel also drew distinctions between Roberts' case and other recent decisions holding that privilege had been waived as to internal investigations. In those cases, including one involving Maxim Integrated Products in Delaware, the judge ordered in camera review of the material.
Freeman said he wouldn't object to that route, but that he also didn't think it would be necessary.
Patel asked the parties for more briefs, in part focusing on why discovery in Roberts' SEC case shouldn't just be put on hold until after his criminal trial, which on Monday was pushed back to June. Such a move would deprive Roberts' criminal defense team of using discovery obtained from the SEC case.

L'Oreal Brings Accessibility to the Beauty Industry With 2 CES Prototypes
L'Oreal's two new beauty projects might change the make-up world for the better.
Despite the roughly 1 billion people worldwide living with a disability, the beauty industry hasn't historically made products that suit their needs. With Selma Blair sharing her makeup routine with multiple sclerosis on TikTok and launching a line of inclusive tools, accessibility is now a topic of conversation for many brands.
L'Oreal unveiled two assistive beauty tech products at CES this year: HAPTA and L'Oreal Brow Magic. And I'll say, they're a breath of fresh air. Both products bring accessibility and inclusivity to an industry that's traditionally missed the mark. It's about time, right?
I got to talk to Guive Balooch, the global head of L'Oreal's Technology Incubator, about the company's accessibility products. His take on accessibility in beauty is simple: "Self-expression should have no barriers or limitations."
The first product from L'Oreal is the HAPTA makeup applicator. It's developed in collaboration with Verily Life Sciences, which created the technology for Liftware, a line of robotic forks and spoons that help people with mobility issues eat. Verily Life Sciences is an Alphabet company.
The HAPTA is similar. It's a handheld computerized makeup applicator for those with limited mobility in their hands or arms. It's surprisingly easy to use; the bulk of the HAPTA applicator is held in hand, with the attachment on the end connected by magnets -- no screwing or opening necessary. Inside the device are real-time sensors and smart motion controls that keep the lipstick upright, no matter which angle you hold it. The attachment swivels 360 degrees.
The HAPTA tool will launch with the L'Oreal-owned Lancôme lipstick and attachment at the end of 2023. However, future makeup applicators are expected. Balooch said, "We won't stop until we have every makeup application." He expects roughly one to two additional attachments, such as mascara and foundation, to launch in 2024 and 2025.
I was immediately struck by how sleek and thorough the device is. All the parts are helpfully self-contained in the charging dock. This shouldn't be a surprise, as all testing was done in the community it's designed for.
L'Oreal Brow Magic
The L'Oreal Brow Magic applicator is reminiscent of the Opte makeup-skincare printer shown at CES in 2020. Developed in partnership with Prinker, this electronic eyebrow applicator uses Modiface AR technology to eliminate the need for a slew of products and a chunk of your time. It's the first hand-held electronic brow applicator. And it works in seconds.
"It's filling the gap between professional and at home. Upgrading the at-home users to something that works no matter what your skill level, no matter what your creative level is. You can achieve what you want for your beauty," said Balooch.
First, you scan your face with the Brow Magic app, which uses AR technology to show how the brow options will look on your face. After you select your style, you move the device across your brow line in a single motion for each brow. The tool has 2,400 tiny nozzles with 1,200-dpi resolution, which print hundreds of hair-like temporary tattoos on your face. You can take it off at the end of the day with a standard makeup remover.
The sensors in the device allow it to locate your hair and match the speed at which you're moving. There's no pressure to go at the right speed -- the device detects and adapts.
There will be nine colors available for the 2023 launch. One ink cartridge, which holds three colors, is expected to last four to six months if used daily, depending on the size of your eyebrows.
Is this the future of beauty accessibility?
There's no sugar-coating it: Accessibility in the beauty industry has never been guaranteed. Makeup is supposed to be for everyone, and maybe starting now, it finally will be.
Many people with disabilities have faced frustration in shopping for and applying makeup with products that weren't designed for their needs. Over the past few years, there has been a shift in the industry toward inclusivity. Some brands have already started releasing products in accessible packaging or products that are easier to grip. For example, Selma Blair and Guide Beauty have released easy-to-grip makeup tools designed to guide the hand during application.
When asked what impact he expects the products to have on the industry, Balooch said, "I can humbly say that I hope we are leading, but I also hope it leads to everyone creating new technologies around this space."
The L'Oreal Brow Magic and HAPTA applicators are products at the forefront of inclusion and accessibility for applying makeup. It's not just enough to be able to open the products; they need to work for you too.
"Now there's a lot of sensors and technologies that are more accessible to allow for projects like this. I hope the entire industry does more," Balooch added.

Who is North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's daughter, Kim Ju Ae, and why is she appearing more in the media?
- Kim Jong Un is believed to have 3 children, including one confirmed daughter, Kim Ju Ae.
- Ju Ae has recently made several appearances in North Korean media since November.
- Her seat in the global spotlight has stirred speculation about North Korea's next successor.
The daughter of the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has recently been making splashes in the state media and in rare public appearances.
She was first unveiled to the public in November when the state released images of Kim Jong Un and his daughter touring an intercontinental ballistic missile testing site. A few months later, she was seen, front and center, at official gatherings, including an anniversary banquet for the North Korean army.
North Korea's Stamp Corp. also announced on Tuesday that an image of the "respected daughter" will be prominently displayed on the country's stamps, according to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency. On Saturday, she was spotted again in photos with her father at a soccer game.
The daughter's global debut is a notable break from the Kim family's usual procedure for public appearances. A verified photo of Kim Jong Un, in comparison, wasn't revealed until he was around 26 years old in 2010, a year before the death of his father, Kim Jong Il.
The unexpected showcasing of the daughter has raised questions about whether Kim Jong Un is sending signals regarding the next heir to the Kim dynasty, though experts have said that it's too early to speculate — especially considering the seat is typically reserved for a son.
Yet little is known or has been confirmed about the daughter herself — by the state and the North Korean leader. Transparency in general has not been a strong suit for the hermit kingdom.
Here's what we know so far about Kim Jong Un's daughter.
What is Kim Jong Un's daughter's name?
Her real name was never revealed by state officials or outlets.
The first source to acknowledge the very existence of Kim Jong Un's daughter was NBA player Dennis Rodman, who developed a relationship with the North Korean leader during his visit to Pyongyang in 2013.
In an interview with The Guardian, he revealed that Kim Jong Un and his wife Ri Sol Ju had a baby.
"I held their baby Ju-ae and spoke with Ms. Ri as well. He's a good dad and has a beautiful family. Kim told me, 'I'll see you in December,'" Rodman told the outlet.
According to a recent report from Radio Free Asia, local governments in the cities of Jeongju and Yongsong have ordered women named Ju Ae to change the names on their birth certificates — another indication that may confirm the daughter's identity.
How old is she?
The South Korean National Intelligence Service believes Ju Ae was born around January 2013, according to The Chosunilbo, putting her at 11 years old.
And taking from Rodman's 2013 visit around February, Ju Ae would be around 10 or 11.
Ju Ae is believed to be the second child, according to the National Intelligence Service.
Kim Jong Un and Ri Sol Ju may have had their first child in the summer of 2010 and a third child around the beginning of 2017. Both of their sexes remain unconfirmed.
South Korean lawmakers have said they've received tips that the first child may be a boy, CNN reported.
What have North Korean officials and state media said about the daughter?
When the North Korean state media outlet KCNA released pictures of Ju Ae at the missile testing site, the agency recounted that Kim Jong Un was at the inspection "with his beloved daughter and wife."
Months later at a banquet celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Army in February, Rodong Sinnum outlet described how Kim Jong Un arrived at the lodging quarters with his "respected daughter" — a descriptive title that's also conferred to the North Korean leader in its report.
Little has been said by state news agencies about the daughter beyond passing mentions.
According to former CIA officer Andrew Kim, who was involved in diplomatic efforts between the US and North Korea, Kim Jong Un may have made a rare comment about his personal life to the then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo back in April 2018.
"'I'm a father and a husband. And I have children,'" the former CIA officer recalled Kim Jong Un telling Pompeo. "'And I don't want my children to carry the nuclear weapon on their back their whole life.' That was his answer."
Could Kim Ju Ae succeed her father?
Experts began to speculate if Kim Jong Un was signaling his next successor with the repeated public showings of Ju Ae.
Cheong Seong Chang, a senior analyst at the Sejong Institute in South Korea, told CNN that the daughter's appearance at the testing site and the state outlet's description of the "beloved" daughter could be the latest sign that Kim Jong Un has chosen his next heir.
"Considering these, there is no longer any doubt that Kim Ju Ae has been appointed as the successor to Kim Jong Un, and it is necessary to pay attention to how this will affect North Korea's domestic and foreign policies in the mid- to long-term, and how North Koreans will accept the succession of the fourth generation," Cheong said.
But Duyon Kim, a senior analyst at the Center for a New American Security in Washington, DC, warned that it's too early to draw conclusions.
"We can only speculate at this point," Kim told The Associated Press,"(Kim Jong Un is) obviously showing her off intentionally and, at a minimum, he seems to be trying to reiterate the importance, status, and legitimacy of a direct Kim bloodline offspring. It's too soon to assume that she will be his heir because the son has always succeeded the throne in North Korea."
Who else could succeed Kim Jong Un?
There has been speculation about Kim Jong Un's younger sister, Kim Yo Jong, being a potential contender.
Currently, Kim Yo Jong serves as the only woman on the State Affairs Commission, North Korea's policy-making body.
The South Korean National Intelligence Service previously said in 2020 that the sister could be the country's "de-facto second in command," CNN reported, citing Kim Byung-kee, a South Korean parliament member who attended a briefing with the agency at the time.
David Straub, a former senior diplomat in the US embassy in Seoul told The Daily Beast that Kim Jong Un's recent flaunting of his daughter may be troubling signs for the leader's sister if he truly is considering putting Ju Ae at the top of the hierarchy.
"Kim had both his uncle and his half-brother murdered," Straub told the outlet, referring to Kim Jong Nam, who was assassinated in Malaysia in 2017 with a chemical nerve agent. Kim Jong Nam was widely considered to be the next leader of North Korea after Kim Jong Il.
"I'll bet everyone in the Kim clan remembered, perhaps especially Yo Jong," Straub said.

What does the EMP do?
Hey there DMV survivors I'm relatively new and am completely stumped when it comes to a few things. What does this EMP do?
What exactly does it mean when you're in the game and above someone's icon is those bone figure things that sometimes wrap around someone's icon for?
Hi! The EMP is used against the Singularity by disabling those pods the Singularity shoots out, thereby preventing them from infecting or teleporting to survivors. It doesn't knock them out forever, but it does deactivate them for a decent amount of time.
Those bone things (the ones which appear eitherside of the survivor portrait) mean 2 things: 1. One survivor will have them on permanently and much larger than the others. They are the obsessiom, which the killer gets more BP for killing and the obsession will important for some killer (and even survivor) perks and 2. If you see them wiggling around a portrait it means they are being chased. A good way of knowing when it's safe to do something else, or figure out if the survivor needs helping and is on their last hook.

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will find it. 26 For what will it benefit someone if he gains the whole world yet loses his life? Or what will anyone give in exchange for his life? Matthew 16:24-26 CSB
Introduction (00:01:21)
Hey guys welcome back to the PSALMS to God podcast. So funny story: I was in the process of organizing my laptop and the files on my laptop, and I found this episode that I recorded months ago—months ago—Like probably around the time that I was starting the podcast, and that I never finished it. It's just like a half done episode, with kind of random notes and thoughts that I was trying to put together. And when I looked at it today, I was like "That was a great idea! It was a great episode. Why didn't I finish that?" I have no idea why I didn't finish it, and I have no idea why I was trying to organize files on my computer today, but I'm going to take it that was the Holy Spirit leading me back to that episode and telling me that I needed to record it and talk to you guys about it. So here we are.
An Occurrence at Publix (00:02:21)
We're going to talk about Matthew 16:24-26, in the context of an experience that I had at the beginning of the year. So sometime in January, I was shopping. I went to Publix to get something—pretty sure based on the date that I wrote down that I was buying something for a potluck at the church that I attend. And when I went to Publix—there's a Publix nearby me that I called "The Shady Publix." Every time I go to this Publix, something weird happens; I do not like going to this Publix. I feel like... I just feel uncomfortable going to this Publix by myself at any time, because something weird always happens. So I refer to it as "The Shady Publix," but "The Shady Publix" was the most logical Publix for me to go to that day because it's actually near my job and in the direction that I was driving, for me to go to any other grocery store or any other Publix would have been going out of the way, and that just didn't make sense. So, I had stopped there on the way back home. And when I stop there, soon as I pulled into a parking space, this man approached my car, and he came all the way up to the window—like the driver side window—and he started talking. And I was weirded out to say the least. Like I did not understand why he was coming up to my car, and why he was starting to talk to me. Like not even like, "Oh I let you get out of your car and approached you in the parking lot." Like he legit walked straight up to my car. I could not open the car door to get out had I wanted to, because he was standing like directly in front of the car, and so he basically said that he ran out of gas. And that's all he said. He didn't ask for money. He didn't ask for gas. He didn't ask for a ride to the gas station. He didn't ask for a phone to call a friend to take him to the gas station. Like to this day, I don't really know what his intention was. Like I don't know what he was...why he was approaching me.
And in the moment, I was like this is super weird. This is super sketch. First of all, I don't look like the person that you should be approaching for this problem. And what I mean by that is: so when I was in South Carolina, I remember I had this situation where I needed a pocket knife. I was trying to open something and I felt like a pocket knife would be of assistance. I didn't have one. And I was walking across the campus at the university I went to, and I saw this this group of guys. They were dressed in camouflage and they looked like they did some hunting in their spare time, and I made the assumption that they would have a pocket knife, so I approached them and asked them for their help. I did not go to the girl that was walking by that was in heels and a dress and was like fully made up, because she didn't seem like she would have a pocketknife. Now that's very stereotypical she could have very well had a pocketknife; they might not have had a pocket knife, but the odds were that these gentlemen who were dressed like they go hunting frequently were more likely to have a pocketknife than this woman who is dressed like she was about to go give a presentation and would probably only have like a pencil or a USB drive or something. It's just there are certain people... Like, I mean its basically like if I'm trying to reach something on the top shelf and I go to somebody who is shorter than me for assistance, that doesn't make sense. I would approach somebody who's very tall to try to help me.
And so in the situation I'm like I don't know why you're coming to me I have a very small car. I don't look like I would have a gas can in the back of my car. My car is very old; it's not like I look like I have a lot of money, or I could just be, you know, throwing money at you. You know... It just seems like a really weird situation. So I was very, very hesitant, and the demeanor that I probably had was not a very pleasant or positive one, because I was just like "Please leave." That's what I was thinking in my head.
Biblical Responses (00:06:52)
But after the situation, the verses that I read in the beginning (Matthew 16:24-26) were the first things that popped into my head. And I was asking myself, "Why is it that we allow ourselves to be so afraid of other people?" And I know that... I know the answer: the media and what happens. Our society is completely screwed up. It is very possible that had I opened the door, or rolled down the window, or attempted to give this man some money, or let him borrow my phone, or whatever, that he might have reached in and tried to kidnap me. He might have tried to kill me. He might have tried to rob me. There is a very high probability, and considering where I live it's even higher of a probability that that could have just been somebody trying to mug me, but at the same time that also could have been an angel giving me a test. That... It could have been somebody, a genuine person, in need of help.
And I think the reason our society has the problems we have is that we don't help the people who need help, because we're afraid that they're one of these other people who don't need help. And you know the truth is, in this verse we often think about this in the context of martyrdom—like someone has asked you do you believe in God and you said yes even though it might cause problems. Basically, like how Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah (better known as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego) had to make the decision not to kneel for the statue.[2] The king had already said if you didn't kneel in front of the statue he was going to kill you. So it's basically a public declaration of their faith in God when they decided not to bow; and they knew that there would be negative consequences—and of course God covered them in that situation. But really this verse in Matthew is talking about so much more than that. It's about not being afraid to do the right thing, regardless of the consequences. It's not just saying "I believe in God" and necessarily making that public declaration in such an obvious and overt manner. It's also about the actions that speak to your faith in God.
So in that moment, I did not know what his intentions were. I didn't know if he was out to do some harm to me or if he was genuinely in need. And at the end of the day, I can't control his actions. I can only control my actions. I can't control whether he was going to try to mug me or whether he was going to try to rob me or whether he was genuinely seeking help, but I can control whether my intention was to do good to him or whether my intention was to ignore any sort of harm that might have been coming towards him or any sort of trouble that he may have been in. And what's even more ironic about all of this[4] is that I just did a podcast episode where the verse that I used to basically pull the episode together was Jeremiah 17:9-10, and the second part of that, verse 10, it talks about how God judges us based on our actions not on our heart—because the heart does crazy things! So remember that when y'all out here saying "God knows my heart." The heart is wicked and deceitful, but it's our actions that really speak volumes because that's what we can control.
A lot of times in moments like this we let fear keep us from doing something positive or from doing good. And that's a problem, because regardless of what was needed in that situation, regardless of whether I actually had money to give him or not—I didn't 'cause I never have cash—but even down to the demeanor that I had, the way I responded to that person, that is very significant, because that's a human being. Whether I decided to try to do something to help this person monetarily, whether I was going to give them my phone, whatever I decide to do or not to do, I did at least owe it to him to be polite, to show a Godlike character when responding to him,[3] and I didn't do that because I let fear dictate my actions. And fear is not of God. God does not want us out here being afraid to do good, and that's something we should definitely be talking about as we go through our walk and our journey with Christ.
Wrap Up (00:12:22)
So I'm curious what you guys would have done in that situation and how you would've felt about it. Would you have stopped to talk to the person? Would you have tried to help them out? Would you have done like me and been like "Yo, you just need to leave. Please leave me alone"? And there's no judgment because I already told you what I did, and I'm not even 100% sure that I would behave differently today.[1] It's a struggle, y'all; it really is. So hit me up on Instagram, let me know what you would do, and thank you guys for tuning in. You can find the transcript for this episode at www.psalmstogod.com/TakeUpYourCross. Don't forget to like and subscribe. See you next time!
References and Footnotes
- In my mind I'd like to think I would behave differently, but I know that when you're taken off guard, you resort to instinct which is probably still going to say "stranger danger" in this case.

- How we treat people can have a profound impact on their psyche, how they value and perceive themselves.
- It's ironic because the verse I planned for the planned episode actually fit this unplanned episode better.

Atlanta Falcons draft a quarterback in this full 7 round mock draft
By Nick Halden
Cameron Thomas is far from a sure thing edge rusher but can Atlanta truly miss any worse than they have in recent memory? If they don't take an edge rusher with their first-round pick Thomas is a solid prospect that will give Atlanta a project player who could prove to be a great rusher at the next level.
The concern with Thomas is his consistency and his ability to translate his skill set to the next level when you consider the level of athletes he was often competing against. Atlanta's inability to find a consistent pass rush has been well covered even when the team was having success.
Veterans like Adrian Clayborn and Dwight Freeney are exceptions to the inconsistency over the last half-decade. Free agents and surprise contributors are the only ways Atlanta has been able to register any type of pass rush as most of their draft selections have proven to be major busts.
Vic Beasley and Takk Mckinley are headline names of Atlanta disappointments when it comes to their attempts to find a pass rusher.
Thomas would be able to come in without these expectations and pair with Lorenzo Carter, Grady Jarrett, and Devonte Wyatt to give the Falcons a boost and a chance at finding an elusive pass rush.

Child Support Law
How Do You Enforce a Child Support Order?
If you need to enforce your child support order, you have a number of options available to you. Whichever of the following routes you choose, however, it's always helpful to discuss your situation with a family law attorney for guidance.
Overview of Options
Whether your ex has recently refused to make their court-ordered payments or is paying less than the child support order dictates, there are steps you can take. Options include:
- Filing court paperwork to enforce the order
- Requesting help from your local child support enforcement office
- Wage garnishment
You may choose to file the initial paperwork on your own instead of hiring a lawyer, but you may find greater success with the weight of an experienced attorney behind you. In any case, all states have a child support enforcement agency where you can get help with child support enforcement for free or pay a small fee.
Child Support Enforcement Office
Your local child support enforcement agency has a variety of methods to help you in enforcing payments.
Options include:
- Intercepting state and federal income tax refunds
- Seizing lottery and casino winnings
- Placing liens on real estate and vehicles
- Suspending driver's licenses
- Suspending fishing and other recreational licenses
Child support enforcement agencies also have the power to suspend professional licenses such as real estate or teaching licenses
In some circumstances, contempt proceedings will result in jail time for the parent who refuses to comply with a child support order. While incarceration is rare, it is a remedy that courts will use to encourage parents to comply.
Wage Garnishment
With this type of recourse, your ex gets paid, but you get a portion of each paycheck. Your state's child support enforcement agency – or, depending on the state you live in, the court itself – can issue an order to garnish or withhold directly and your ex's employer has to comply. If you don't know where the other parent works, your child support enforcement agency often can access this information.
Automatic income withholding is commonly set up in many states when the initial child support order is put into effect. Wage garnishment is effective with past due amounts that were not able to be collected through automatic income withholding.
Automatic income withholding, wage garnishment and other similar options may not be the best route if the obligor – or the paying parent – is self-employed.
Heading Back to Court
If you still need help enforcing payment based on your court-ordered child support order, you still have options. A contempt motion can be filed against the other parent in most states for failure to pay.
Filing for contempt is a request to the court to enforce its child support order. Failure to pay could result in time behind bars or other sanctions against the delinquent parent. In many states, you can submit this paperwork on your own.
Enforcing an Out-of-State Child Support Order
If the other parent moves out of state, you can still get your child support order enforced. Most child support enforcement agencies across the country will work cooperatively with other agencies. There are complications that come when trying to enforce an out-of-state order, so it is best to consult with a local attorney on the process for enforcing your child support order.
In a Child Support Dispute?
Whether you are seeking or paying child support, lawyers in our directory can protect your rights and best interests.

The Asus ZenFone smartphone series has been quite successful in India, much to our surprise, and the company has disclosed that the sales figure will most likely cross 200000 units by the end of this month. At this rate, the OEM might turn out to be as triumphant as Motorola which managed to sell a million phones (that's with six zeros) in just about 5 months.
The Asus ZenFone series comprises of 4 smartphones which cater to different price points and needs. In just 4 days of their launch, the company reported a sale of 40000 units. All models appear to be doing well as they've been out of stock multiple times already.
It was only back in August that the company launched its 4.5-inch model which offers slightly improved specs compared to the 4-inch phone. All options in the lineup are dual SIM compatible and they are powered by dual core Intel Atom CloverTrail+ processors. Currently, the handsets run on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, but updates to version 4.4 KitKat have been promised for the near future.
Also read: Android One ignites a price war between Google and Samsung
In recent news, Asus launched an update for its 5-inch and 6-inch ZenFone handsets which bring in USB OTG compatibility that's already enabled on the smaller sibling. The new firmware also tags alone some fresh features and fixes for better stability.
With Android One and the new Moto G hitting India, and the Redmi 1S doing exceptionally well, Asus could witness more intense competition. The ZenFone series is available exclusive through Flipkart with prices starting at Rs 5999 and going up to Rs 16999.
