The challenge in recovering from addiction and maintaining abstinence is two-fold. First, a recovering addict must inhibit drug-seeking behaviors and achieve abstinence. Second, the addict must establish a new, non-drug reinforced behavioral repertoire that is rewarding and satisfying. Although research is establishing the importance of explicit extinction training in reducing vulnerability to reinstatement of drug-seeking and relapse, little attention has been given to the role of non-drug reinforcers in the extinction process. Using conditioned place preference as a measure of the incentive value of contextual cues in eliciting approach behavior, this project systematically examines the role of new, non-drug reinforcement learning in facilitating the extinction of previously, drug- reinforced approach behavior and evaluates the impact of non-drug facilitated extinction on subsequent vulnerability to reinstatement. The role of dopamine in addiction is well documented if not entirely understood. It is believed to play a role both in the acquisition of drug reinforced behavior as well as its expression. This project investigates a novel hypothesis that tonic dopamine mediates the compulsive expression of previously learned, drug-reinforced behaviors while phasic dopamine activity mediates the modulation of previous learning as well as the acquisition of new learning, including non-drug reinforcement. Consequently, a potential therapeutic strategy would be the differential manipulation of tonic and phasic dopamine. Using transgenic mouse lines in which tonic and phasic dopamine activities are altered independent of each other, the differential contribution of tonic and phasic dopamine to the extinction of drug-reinforced behavior and the acquisition of alternative, non-drug behaviors will be investigated. Finally, nicotinic receptors have been shown to differentially modulate tonic and phasic dopamine release, providing a potential pharmacological strategy to pursue the above hypothesis. This project will examine the effects of currently available nicotinic acting drugs on the extinction of drug-reinforced behaviors and the acquisition of alternative, non-drug rewarded behaviors. As the role of nicotinic receptors in modulating dopamine is not fully understood, the project will use slice physiology to further characterize nicotinic modulation of dopamine in order to identify more specific targets for future drug development.
The primary goal of this project is to characterize the role of non-drug reward in the extinction of established, drug-reinforced behavior focusing on dopaminergic substrates that may critically mediate this relationship. A specific pharmacological strategy to enhance new learning and facilitate extinction of drug-seeking is proposed and developed. This work will contribute to the development of better behavioral approaches to addiction treatment, further elucidate the neural substrates underlying the shift from drug- to non-drug reinforcement critical in sustained recovery and provide preclinical evidence for a specific pharmacological target.

text: I recently left NSW to go to WA to try and find permanent work and once I left, my partner told me not to come back. I was devastated so I went home to Tasmania for 2 months but have now returned to NSW. The lease of the property I was living in with my ex partner was in both our names. Obviously I can't move back into that house but there is a unit at the back of the property which I can share with the present male tenant who has a separate lease to the house.. Is there any legal reason why I can't move into the unit? I don't want to get there and have the Police called to ask me to leave. There was a few nasty text messages between us when the separation took place but never has there been any violence.

So right now these are the branches I have:
WalnutiQ> git branch -a
* develop
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
My goal is to delete the branch feature-model_in_javascript so I tried:
WalnutiQ> git branch -d feature-model_in_javascript
Deleted branch feature-model_in_javascript (was 4604f04).
So now when I check my branchs I get:
WalnutiQ> git branch -a
* develop
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
remotes/origin/feature-model_in_javascript # <== HOW DO I DELETE THIS????
How do I delete that remote branch? I manually deleted it by clicking the delete button on https://github.com/WalnutiQ/WalnutiQ/branches
If you have already manually deleted the branch on the upstream server, then use
git fetch -p
to "prune" your remote tracking branches. Any branches under
remotes/origin that no longer exist on the server will be deleted from your local repository.
Just use below to delete the remote branch:
git push origin :<branch>
remove remote tags is the same.
You can find details here: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Branching-Remote-Branches
A slightly more modern syntax for deleting remote branches (perhaps easier to remember) is:
git push origin --delete <branchName>

Definitive Technology's Mythos SSA-42 is the perfect solution when you want superb surround-like sound with a simple setup. Definitive's Spatial Array technology precisely controls which sounds are played by each of the nine drivers, creating the illusion that you are surrounded by five separate high-performance speakers. The result is a wide listening area with excellent performance to the sides, in which you can clearly pinpoint action happening to your left and to your right. The SSA-42 doesn't depend on bouncing sound off of your walls, unlike some sound bar speakers, so it works well in just about any room. And it's designed to perform equally as well with your favorite music as it does with your Hollywood blockbusters.
The SSA-42 houses nine total drivers five for the front soundstage and four to handle the rear channels. Three of those drivers have a pure aluminum dome tweeter mounted in front of the speaker cone, for extended highs that reveal nuance and shimmer without a trace of edginess. And Definitive's BDSS driver technology helps increase the tiny speakers' output without increasing the size of the enclosure. Connect it to a multi-channel receiver and you've got a simple, high-performance home theater solution that's sure to impress.
The slim enclosure is made of stunning black hand-polished aluminum, and is sized to match TVs with screens measuring 42" or larger. The SSA-42 can be wall mounted using the supplied mounting bracket, or placed on a shelf in front of your TV.
Add Definitive's ProSub800 subwoofer to get full bass that reaches down to 20 Hz.
Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center.

Did you know?
Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality. For more information and helpful tips, check out this article from Definitive's website about conditioning your speakers.
easy to install and sounds great
Anonymous, Canton, OH
Average Customer Review(s):
easy to install and sounds great
This speaker has great sound, gets very loud without distortion. I didn't feel like shelling out the extra money for the SSA-50 and I'm not disappointed with my decision. It did need a little time to settle, I was more impressed with the sound after a few days than immediately out of the box. The simulated surround sound is ideal for the setup in our living room which is very irregular, but I can only really hear the surround sound when the volume is above the average listener's medium level. Additionally, it's annoying that you can't use banana plugs on this. The connections themselves are built to accept banana plugs but the way the back plate (which also functions as the stand) attaches makes it impossible. For a sound bar and an actual 5.1 surround sound system, this does the job well.
This speaker provides great sound at a great price. I had an older Polk Audio surround bar speaker and this is definitely huge improvement in sound quality.
Pros: Excellent sound quality.
Cons: None
Excellent speaker, high quality sound.
Pros: High quality sound.
Cons: Surround effect not as good as true rear speakers, but that is to be expected.
Really impressed with the performance. Works seamlessly with my Onkyo receiver and Polk subwoofer. Setup took about 10 mins from box to finish. Clean lines adds to the look of the entertainment center. Combined it with the Center Stage Bracket instead of wall mounting and it worked great. Outstanding recommendation from the advisor at Crutchfield. Again, they helped narrow the field, answered my questions, and got me into the right equipment.
Pros: Simple set up. Clean look. Great sound performance.
Cons: None so far
Excellent soundbar. Superior quality. I am in love with it.
Pros: Crystal clear sound
Cons: Must be used with a receiver as this is not powered
Okay... If you're looking for a sound bar, this is the one to buy. If you're looking for a 5.1 or 7.1 surround system don't buy this. I have two different setups in my house and each has a different use. If you're like me you will need to adjust your paradigm for what you want and need in a space. I would love a 5.1 or bigger system in every room I have a TV but my house wasn't built to accommodate this. My downstairs, two story living room was not wired for surround and there is no way to wire it (at least not without spending tons of money). The goals was to create sound that would allow me to enjoy what I was watching (TV, movies, sports) and let me listen to music as well. This speaker does that incredibly well. There is great separation of sound. Dialogue is clear even at low volumes and the clarity is outstanding. Now in fairness I do run it with a sub and have to admit that if it were not partnered with that I would be far less satisfied. Again if I want BIG movie sound I go upstairs and turn on the big system but for the money this speaker has me completely impressed. My advisor was great and shipping was ridiculously fast. If you don't have the space for a full surround but want excellent sound quality with crystal clear dialogue you will not go wrong.
Pros: Outstanding sound quality for the size.
Cons: make sure you buy the spade connectors not the banana connectors. Crutchfield lists both as viable options but if you use banana you can't attach the mounting bracket.
This thing is outsatdning. Sets up with ease, sturdy as can be and produces a sound like no other. Must have some kind of echo location thing. seems like the sound come from all sides. Amazing! .
Pros: Sturdy, Excellent Sound, Easy to Set Up,
Cons: Didnt Buy it 4 eyars abo when I should have.
I recently moved into a new home. The family room did not support my existing 5.1 speaker configuration. It was going to cost thousands of dollars to have in-wall speakers installed. Rather that do that, I decided to take a chance on a sound bar. I wanted to continue to use my existing Denon 2112ci home theatre receiver. The Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-42 offered everything I was looking for in a sound bar. Once I installed the unit, and adjusted the receiver, I could not have been more impressed at the sound quality, imaging, and overall effect of the sound bar. My powered sub even sounds better. Overall, I am impressed and happy with my choice.
Pros: Sleek design. True audio receiver support (front, surround, and center channel speaker support). Sound quality. Sound imaging and effects.
Cons: None
Excellent purchase. Amazing sound from one speaker. It sounds even better with digital blueray or CDs
Pros: Sound easy hook up
Cons: Nome
We purchased this sound bar because the reviews seemed to indicate it produced sound quality close to that of true surround sound for those who didn't have the room for (or want to deal with) installing multiple speakers. This unit was being paired with a LG Plasma TV, which comes equipped with optional audio settings, one of which is "cinema" for movies. As good as this mode is, there are times dialog isn't audible. Due to space constraints, the Definitive Mythos seemed to be a perfect solution. After multiple calls to Crutchfield's tech support (they did an AMAZING job helping us fine-tune various settings!), we determined there was little increased sound quality produced by the Mythos that warranted the price tag (and we purchased an "open box" unit at 15% off regular price). Perhaps our TV offers much better sound quality then we realized and that's why we didn't hear a perceptible sound quality upgrade, but we just weren't impressed. We returned the unit after a month or so of giving it a try. ***Disclaimer***: We didn't purchase the Definitive Pro-Sub Woofer; perhaps that would have enhanced the sound, but the sound bar alone didn't impress.
Pros: Sleek design.
Cons: Sound wasn't better than that coming from our TV.
Very disappointed in the sound quality; not at all what I expected.
Pros: None
Cons: Sound quality
I have a small space and wanted to avoid wires with my usual home theatre set up.i spoke with the rep at Crutchfield and he recommended this for amazing sound and convenience. The surround sound , even with the additional subwoofer I bought, not realistic at all. The bar is VERY heavy and hard to hang. I'm really dissappointed with the quality for the expense.
Pros: Not really any
Cons: Poor surround sound quality even in a small room; bar very heavy and anchors for wall not included.
excellent soundbar exactly what i was looking for
Prompt shipping and arrived in perfect condition. One screw began to strip as the back was installed; use a large Phillips. Absolutely excellent sound from the system. Perfect clarity of movie dialogue and full- room music and sound effects. Recommend a sub-woofer for the best experience. And take care with the volume. This can blow you away. If you like it loud- no distortion.
Bought this soundbar in December 2010. Pared this with a Def Tech Pro Sub 1000 for outstanding performance with my Pioneer Elite TV. Movie effects really come alive with this soundbar and gives a new dimension to my Blu-Ray movies that I have never experienced before, especially compared to TV speakers. Amazing sound - room is 14X19. Pricey when you have to add a subwoofer and receiver but you get much better performance than other soundbars and added flexibility as well. I did not want to run wires or have speakers all over the room. This combination provides great sound that is very spacious. Very happy with this purchase.
Great sound and a simple installation.
I purchased the Mythos SSA-42 soundbar a couple of weeks ago and I'm glad I did. The setup was easy and the sound is great. This product produces great sound while listening to music and watching movies. I paired the soundbar with the Defenitive SuperCube III subwoofer and the two work well together. If you have a small to medium size room I highly recommend this product.

Overview: The Definitive Technology Mythos Solo Surround Array 42 (SSA-42) is a unique multichannel loudspeaker that provides a 5-channel surround sound experience from just one speaker. The Definitive Technology SSA-42 is the perfect surround audio solution when you are unable or unwilling to wire and place rear channel speakers in your room, but still want a home theater experience. The SSA-42 uses Definitive Technology's best drivers and tweeters for audiophile-grade sound quality so you can enjoy enveloping surround sound from a single speaker. The Mythos Solo Surround Array 42 features five discrete channels to connect to your 5.1-channel Dolby Digital receiver, so you don't need to run wire to five separate speakers. The Mythos SSA-4 can be wall- or shelf-mounted using the supplied hardware.
Driver Technology
Enclosure Design
Mounting Options
Spatial Array: The Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-42 incorporates Spatial Array, a unique patented technology that optimizes the spatial presentation of five-channels to create the illusion that you are surrounded by five separate high-performance speakers. Spatial Array Surround technology uses subtle, but complex directional cues to completely free the sound from the speaker enclosure and convince your ear/brain listening mechanism that you are surrounded multiple speakers. Since Spatial Array technology does not depend on bouncing sound off walls, it works in virtually any room and set-up configuration. The SSA-42 uses Spatial Array technology on the front left and right speakers as well as the surround channels, so that you get big three-dimensional imaging from both stereo and multi-channel sources.
BDSS Driver Technology: The Front left, Front right, and Center channel drivers of the SSA-42 utilize Definitive's exclusive and patent-pending Balanced Dual Surround System (BDSS) technology. Speaker cones usually have one support point at the circumference of the cone (called the surround), but BDSS drivers have two support points or surrounds. This design suppresses cone resonance and promotes a longer, more linear cone motion for higher output, lower distortion and more accurate frequency response. As a result you will enjoy perfectly natural and lifelike timbre with crystalline clarity on voices, musical instruments ,and movie sound effects, even at high-volume levels.
Pure Aluminum Dome Tweeter: The Definitive Technology SSA-42's tweeter is a pure aluminum dome, which has been heat-treated to relax the crystal structure and then coated with a ceramic to produce extended highs. In order to keep the enclosure from being longer than popular sized video displays, Definitive engineers positioned the front channel tweeters in front of the drivers. While this is a commonly used space-saving technique, a tweeter placed in front of the driver usually interferes with the driver's sound waves. Using computer and physical modeling, Definitive engineers developed unique tweeter-housing geometry and venting that eliminates interference effects for audiophile-grade clarity, precision, and accuracy.
Drivers: The Definitive Technology Solo Surround Array 42 features three 3-1/4" BDSS drivers with axially-aligned 3/4" pure aluminum dome tweeters; two 3-1/4" BDSS high-output full-range drivers, and four 3" full-range high-output surround drivers.
Break-In Period: The Mythos SSA-42 will sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in period of 20-40 hours or more of playing is required to reach full performance capability. The break-in period allows the suspensions to work in and results in full bass, a more open midrange, and smoother high frequency reproduction.
Extruded Aluminum Enclosure: The SSA-42's enclosure is fabricated from aircraft-grade, hand-polished gloss black extruded aluminum, styled to perfectly match today's flat panel plasma and LCD TVs. Internal baffles and braces inside the enclosure eliminate interference effects between drivers and channels for true audiophile purity and maximum channel separation.
5-Way Binding Posts: The SSA-42 is equipped with 5 pairs (Front left, Front right, Center, Rear right, Rear left) of gold-plated, 5-way binding posts to attach your 5.1-channel home theater receiver's speaker wire.
Placement: The Mythos Solo Surround Array 42 is designed for horizontal use only. The 5-channel loudspeaker can be positioned below or above your flat-panel television. The SSA-42 matches perfectly with 42-inch and larger flat-panel televisions.
Mounting: The Definitive Technology SSA-42 comes with easy-to-install mounting hardware that allow it to mount on the wall above or below your television. The Mythos SSA-42 comes with a wall mount bracket that allows direct mounting to a wall. The SSA-42 can also be mounted directly to select flat-panel TV swing out arm-style wall mounts, so that the speaker angle changes with the TV angle. It also includes hardware that allows you to place the speaker on the TV, on a shelf , or on a table-top (surface must be at least 5-inches deep).
Angle Adjustment: The Mythos Solo Surround Array 42 comes with two brackets and two feet which screw into the speaker's wall-mount bracket to stabilize the speaker and allows you to adjust the vertical angle when the system is placed on a flat horizontal surface. When you set the speaker down, the speaker will lean back and rest on these feet. By varying how far you screw in-and-out the feet, you can adjust the vertical angle of the speaker. It is recommended that you aim the center-speaker so that it aims directly towards the height of the listeners' ears.

I recently purchased the SSA-42. There are five separate speakers in the SSA-42. Each has its own connection knob for a speaker wire. If you don't hook up each speaker you aren't utilizing the whole soundbar. [ ROBERT Jul 02, 2014 ]
I can't think of any reason why that wouldn't work. But, I would be sure to re-run the auto-calibration on your receiver with microphone in ideal listening area after setting up this soundbar as the new source of the center channel, as the frequency response won't be exactly the same as the center speaker that you are replacing. For the record, this sound bar has exceeded my expectations for providing all of the surround channels in my room, which would be very difficult to hard-wire surround speakers due to bookshelves, doorways, etc. The SSA-42 sounds amazing with my Sony mid-level surround receiver. Very powerful, clear, and convincing surround sound effect with that combo. [ Erik Jul 02, 2014 ]
You can but only the center speakers will work defeating the purpose of the total sound from the sound bar. My suggestion would be if possible would be to the full function of the sound bar and use your front speakers as front height speakers. This will giv you a much larger sound field and fuller sound. [ ROBERT J Jul 02, 2014 ]
Hi Richard, Yes!!! That is the beauty of this sound bar. Any configuration will work. Just remember, you will need to adjust the center channel speaker volume to match you other speakers. A few minutes at most. If you have a receiver that has a speaker calibration unit, no problem. It will do the work for you. If you have all five channels going to the sound bar, set everything to neutral. Then rock and roll. I could not be happier in my choice. It sounds so good, that I am surprised at films I have seen/heard dozens of time. New life! You will be impressed. Take care... --Tom [ TOM Jul 02, 2014 ]

|Nelly Thompson was a happy housewife who did not care much about anything but keeping her house and raising the kids. But there was one thought which deprived her of her sleep. She had once seen Terry, her son, in the shower, and his sizeable cock was her obsession. One evening she could not keep in her lust anymore and simply pulled Terry's pants off! At first she was anxious whether Terry would like her mature body, but the boy was so passionate:
Mary's father, lives with Mary, while their mother moved to another town after
divorce. Bob has many friends, and Mary, a shy pretty girl,
is often the target of their jokes. Bob was having more and more intense fantasies about Mary giving blowjob to him and his friend, so there came an evening when he invited his sexy daughter to have a couple of drinks: Mary performed so good she was all soaked in cum of her father and his amazed friend!
|Anthony Kowalski, a divorced teacher, loved his cute blonde daughter Amanda more than anyone in the world. Since her very childhood he enjoyed taking photos and filming her on camera. When she grew into a very beautiful teen girl, Anthony's shootings acquired a different taste. Sometimes he thought that it would have been great to film her naked, and one day he talked her into some naked posing, which led them to a totally hardcore incest scene:

Super Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded on the planet, blasted into the Philippines on Friday, killing at least four people and forcing nearly 750,000 people to flee from their homes.
Haiyan had sustained winds of 155 mph with gusts as high as 235 mph, according to the U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center. It is believed to be the strongest tropical cyclone to hit land anywhere in the world in recorded history.
According to CNN, the casualty toll is expected to rise once aid workers get to the hardest-hit areas, many of which were cut off from phones and electricity.
About 25 areas in the Philippines were hit, Gwendolyn Pang, the secretary general of the Philippine National Red Cross, told reporters. She explained that assessment teams were prepared to enter the stricken areas as soon as conditions allowed.
But they may not be able to do it alone. "We will be definitely needing more support for this one," Pang added.
We'll keep you updated as soon as more information becomes available on how to donate to relief efforts.
In the meantime, we'll be sending our thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by this devastating tropical storm.

Dear Richard
as the Indigenous Marathon Project Coach who was primarily responsible for identifying and coaching Project athletes Juan, Joseph, Charlie and Caleb until Deek stepped in and took over close to New York 2010, I was also one of the 3 person interdepartmental working party which in 1991 made the successful feasibility study recommendation of $9.1 to Federal Cabinet to establish the AIS IndigenousUnit.
I presume that I appear in tonight's ABC film Running to America. However, as I have been prevented from viewing it at any of the private screenings around Australia to date, I would like to make the comment concerning your chat with Deek that I wish the documentary well.
If I watch the film tonight, it will be with a feeling of deep hurt and humiliation, for reasons which are currently before ACAT in Canberra.

 Hate to say "We told ya", but..... broadstuff email@example.com (Alan Patrick) 2017-02-08T19:55:13Z http://broadstuff.com/wfwcomment.php?cid=2948 1 http://broadstuff.com/rss.php?version=1.0&type=comments&cid=2948 The impact of Fake News on the US Election http://broadstuff.com/archives/2947-The-impact-of-Fake-News-on-the-US-Election.html After our systems predicted Trump's win, we were asked a number of times about the impact of Fake News (and Bots, Russian Hacking etc - we will cover those in separate posts) and here is a summary of some of the useful research we looked at:

 Stanford/ NYU Research

 Firstly, research by Hunt Allcott of NYU and Matthew Gentzkow of Stanford, published by Stanford University looked at the sources and takeup of Fake News. They defined "fake news" as "news stories that have no factual basis but are presented as facts". By news stories they meant stories that originated in social media or the news media, i.e. excluded false statements originated by political candidates or major political figures. They also excluded websites well-known to be satirical, such as the Onion.

 Firstly, they found that in the US elections, people mainly got their news by from sources other than websites and social media (see pie chart below, left). But online media (websites and social media) was where most Fake News was disseminated. They also looked at how Fake News was disseminated on the online media (below, right) and the majority was transmited via social media with a significant minority going direct (to websites or their feeds) or finding it in search results, This contrasts hugely with how top news was disseminated, mainly via older channels but online the major source was via direct access and then search.

 They also looked at how people reacted to Fake News, ve Mainstream media news, and also inserted Placebo news (stories they made up) to test reactions. The chart below shows how people reacted:

 The Figure presents the share of headlines that survey respondents that recall seeing (blue bar) vs. recall seeing and also believing (red bar). They averaged responses across all the headlines within four categories of headlines they presented - "Big" true stories; Smaller true stories; Fake stories and Placebo stories that they had made up headlines for. In short they found that 15 percent of people reported seeing the Fake stories, and 8 percent reported seeing and believing them (about 55%). But the chart also shows a number of other interesting tendencies:

Rates of both seeing and believing are much higher for true than fake stories

They are higher for the "Big True" headlines (the major headlines leading up to the election) than for the "Small True" headlines (the more minor fact-checked headlines that were gathered from Snopes and PolitiFact).

Placebo fake news articles, which never actually circulated, are approximately equally likely to be recalled and believed as the Fake news articles that did actually circulate.

This false recall rate is similar for Fake and Placebo articles, this suggests that the raw responses significantly overstate the circulation of Fake news articles, and that the true circulation of Fake news articles was quite low

 The last test they did was to model what impact Fake News would have had to make to shift opinion in the most closely fought wards to ensure the Democrats won. For Clinton to have won the election, Trump's margin of victory would have to decrease by ~ 0.51% of the voting age population, which would have shifted Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin into Clinton wins and deliver the Electoral College. Thus, the core question was whether fake news could have increased Trump's margin of error by more than 0.51 percent of the voting age population. The table below summarise the outcome of their model. In summary, the column on the far right looks at how many times more effective the Fake News would have had to be compared to TV advertising to have had to have shifted the vote. For example, on line 1 a Fake News story as it performed in reality was would have had to be 37 time more effective to shift opinion. If recall was 7% of all stories, it would have had to be 27 times more effective. Line 8 sows that if Fake News shares were 20x greater it would still have to have been 13 times more effective

 Their overall conclusion was that Fake News was very unlikely to have had a major effect:

Social media were not the most important source of electionnews, and even the most widely circulated fake news stories were seen by only a small fraction of Americans. For fake news to have changed the outcome of the election, a single fake news storywould need to have convinced about 0.7 percent of Clinton voters and non-voters who saw it toshift their votes to Trump, a persuasion rate equivalent to seeing 36 television campaign ads

Another study was done by IPSOS for Buzzfeed on the impact of Fake News on Facebook, as Facebook had by far the largest reach of any social network for Fake News (see study here) and conclusions were in line with the above work:

 IPSOS Online survey of 1,007 American adults

 Percentage of consumed news in the past the month by channel showed

Facebook (55%)

Broadcast TV (56%).

Print newspapers (39%)

Cable news (38%)

"Social media (generally)" (33%)

Newspapers' websites (33%).

 Print, TV and Twitter was relatively more trusted than Facebook

74% of those who'd gotten news from print newspapers

59% of respondents saying they trust news from TV all or most of the time.

49% of people who had gotten news from Twitter,

 Far lower trust of news on Facebook all or most of the time

18% of respondents trust news on Facebook all or most of the time

30% said "about half of the time,"

44% said they rarely or almost never trust news on Facebook.

8 % Don't Know

 However, other research by IPSOS suggests that trust is not the same as belief — Another poll by Ipsos/BuzzFeed News foundon average about 75% of American adults believed fake news headlines about the election when they recalled seeing them. This contradicts the Stanford finding of c 55%, but as their model showed, even that belief level would not have changed the election outcome

 Our Conclusion

 In short, both studies show a minority of news was received from the online world, and it was by and large not widely believed, so the impact was relatively small. However, 2 caveats to the Stanford work:

 We suspect the Stanford study underplays impact on people, our empirical observation is that many people believe what they want to believe no matter how untrustworthy the source, and will go to great mental gymnastics to justify their belief even when its shown to be totally false, so that IPSOS figure of 75% may well be closer then the c 55% (8% of 15%) of the Stanford study.

Also, the Stanford model is generic and averaged, if (and it's a big if) Cambridge Analytica was able to pinpoint just the people it needed to persuade, in just the wards it needed to persuade them, actual impact could be higher

 In other words this may underplay the total impact of Fake News, but even so the model is still showing it has to be a LOT more effective to actually swing the votes. Our view is its a marginal contributor, but in a 50/50 split election (which in effect this was) even small margins can be effective, especially if used in conjunction with a number of other small nudges.

 Also, the Stanford model's definition of "Fake News" is very strict - we believe there is far more "False" news - news that bends the truth, or is economical with it - in circulation, and that acts in a similar manner. A lot of this sort of news is meat and drink to more "respected" media as well (and it is they that are leading the complaints against "Fake" news).

 At any rate, expect more use of Fake News in future campaigning, and in attempts to persuade in general.

 We have looked at how our systems can counter this, and believe we have some solutions

Despite hiccups*, Yahoo's planned sale to Verizon appears to be moving forward — but some portions of the company will be left behind and renamed Altaba Inc.

 Yahoo is hanging on to its 15 percent stake in Alibaba and its 35.5 percent stake in Yahoo Japan, and those assets will survive as an investment company under the new name Altaba Inc., as the rest of Yahoo integrates with Verizon. The assets had previously been nicknamed Remain Co.

Amazon drone patent drawing

 Amazon has had a patent granted to fly blimp warehouses above cities so drones can deliver your goodies from the blimps. Leaving aside the "how the hell do you get a patent for something so damn obvious and that has already been done", the question is why blimps?

 The answer is the appalling logistic costs of transporting products by drone. As we showed in the previous note on this area (over here), drone delivery has some major problems:

(i) Small payload - many trips are required to satisfy even a moderately large order, a weekly shop would take 20+ drones to deliver. Heavy lifting drones are unlikely to be a feature of urban environments anytime soon, they are very dangerous if anything goes wrong.

 (ii) Each trip has two very unproductive components

 - firstly, the trips to and from warehouses, which are a long way (tens of miles) from where most customers are

 - secondly, as payload is small, there is no ability to do a number of drops in one run as you can with a van, so each and every drop is essentially a point to point trip from warehouse to customer which increases transport costs per trip and reduces trips/drone per day, so asset utilisation falls

 So there are essentially two solutions to the problem - either put physical warehouses in very high cost urban land (ie buy the Royal Mail or Big Yellow Storage) which hugely increases costs of warehouse square footage, or have mobile warehouses that move in closer so reducing the back and forth distance each drone flies.

 Why blimps? Simply put, our analysis shows that the sheer number of drones needed to replace vans would be tantamount to huge swarms of these devices, the noise, flying traffic and risk of having them at street level would intolerable. Thus the only other available option is to fly them up and down to hovering blimps. Downside is the blimps are aircraft and thus have to fly at a safe height (tens of thousand feet), so drones (which, remember, for this application are basically helicopters so cannot benefit from any lift generated by wings) will have to expend a lot of energy climbing

 We say only available option - the other option is of course vans, travelling on roads. These are high payload carrying, can optimise multiple drops and are non intrusive as they stick to existing transport networks. Best of all, they don't fall out of the sky.

 Also, as we showed in the previous note, vans have a useful device - called a driver - that can negotiate that most tricky of problems, the last yards delivery to the customer.... broadstuff firstname.lastname@example.com (Alan Patrick) 2017-01-02T12:16:56Z http://broadstuff.com/wfwcomment.php?cid=2944 0 http://broadstuff.com/rss.php?version=1.0&type=comments&cid=2944 Ten Tech Predictions for 2017 - Puncturing the Hype http://broadstuff.com/archives/2943-Ten-Tech-Predictions-for-2017-Puncturing-the-Hype.html It's time for Broadstuff's annual Tech predictions for 2017, or rather where we Puncture The Hype. Given our whole operating mantra is to give realistic advice to clients on new technology opportunities, getting behind the hype is essential and if we can do it a bit tongue in cheek, well that adds to the entertainment (You can see our stellar 2016 record over here). Of course it is in Listicle format as countless analytics show more people read listicles than ordinary articles, so consider yourself "nudged".

 Anyway, here goes:

 1. The Reality of Legacy - the weightless rise of cloud, social, analytics etc platform companies will increasingly find the gravitational pull of legacy platforms restrains them. That is where much of the data and a lot of the core processes flow, and for these new systems to move from the periphery to the centre of the enterprise they will need to interoperate with the old gradgrinds - which will force reality into all the overblown economic "savings" projected from all the new shiny products hitting your screens.

 2. Cloud comes to Earth - Not only the above, but the limiting economics of the rental cloud model, the lower service responsiveness for sophisticated users, and its security risks will weigh more heavily on heavy users of computing power. Expect far more to be made of hybrid cloud + user managed services. Last year we believed Cloud had already hit these buffers and (as has been the trend) would rename itself again - - we were wrong, but will predict that 2017 is the year of transition and we'll see more Cloud - X and Y-Cloud services

 3. Social, meet Regulation - the lesson of 2016 is that Social as a vector of Fake News, heavy trolling and abuse, use to communicate "ist" dogmas, a vessel of Millenial mental illness et al has sparked increasing ire (whether you believe its valid or not) in a lot of groups and organisations which do have political influence, so expect increasing pressure for social platforms to be regulated or constrained in a raft of ways. In other news, all Social platforms will busily copy each others' features to differentiate themselves until they all look the same.

 4. 2017 will be hyped as The Year of Mobile, will disappoint, and 2018 will later become the New Year of Mobile - In short, we doubt the planet will be eaten by Mobile in 2017. Its days of exponential hypergrowth are ending, and it's settling down into a mature system with comfortable growth and new services largely cannibalising old ones, like the PC industry once it came to the top of its S curve. Worry about Ad-blocking will continue to grow faster than Ad-blocking, but levels of Ad-blocking will start to impact service models, driving increasing concern in the Ad industry but expect no reform yet.

 5. AI / Machine Learning - hype will continue to grow to stratospheric levels while the underlying services massively undershoot the rah-rah. Actual deployment will continue to be in tight, narrowly defined verticals with manageable solution spaces, while theoretical deployment will rocket to the stars, to infinity and beyond. The major problem with AI right now though is much of what is being called "AI" in the hypewave are in fact just closed loop system dynamic algorithms, which is nothing more than a variant of...

 6. Big Data and Analytics - people are starting to realise that "big + data" is not the same as "useful information".and that pure analytics is useless without knowing what to do with it. This will be the real focus in 2017 and for the next new years. AI or not, suspicion and distrust of these systems will grow and there will be a few high profile system failures in 2017 that will increase pressure to regulate or force transparency on what these algorithms are doing. Also, on the security/privacy front there will be no letup in data heists - much big data is concentrated by entities whose main concern is its exploitation, not safekeeping - so it's only going to get worse.

 7. Internet of Things - the current consumer IoT wave will increasingly look like a busted flush as ongoing concerns about security, privacy and long term service viability grow owing to more data heists, failed services and pulled products. It will sink into the Gartner hype cycle's "slough of despond" in 2017. Lack of universal standards and producer preference for walled gardens means that interworking and open data transportation will remain a pipe dream. Thus Industrial IoT and tightly specific consumer verticals with simpler offerings will be where the real growth is. Wearables, a consumer vertical of IoT, underperformed hugely vs forecasts in 2016 and will continue this slow trend in 2017 owing mainly to the standards and service risk issues.

 8. Robots/Mechatronics/Drones - are essentially "vertical" applications of AI/Analytics maths that create real and tangible value (the real cost of physical production essentially drives out all the spurious "Unicorn" business models that drives headline hypergrowth however). But drone/robotic delivery is being totally oversold, once the sheer volumes of these things  required for package delivery and thus moving along sidewalks/flying in suburban areas becomes clear, the only hockey stick curve will be urban resident resistance. Those most hyped of robots, automatic cars, are a pipe dream for several years still. There will be high-hype trials of course, but outside of extremely well manicured environments these devices will still require human control* - so the first major deployments will be industrial (after all, that's where all the previous generations went first) and very structured and dedicated usage paths ie "road-trains/trams".

 9. Remote Production (3D Printing et al) - will continue to grow, but also will not "eat the world" in 2017. Expect the real growth to be in remote production by more conventional devices like textile weaving & printing, CNC machining etc rather than deposition (aka "printing") techniques. It is still largely high cost and low quality compared to older technologies, so will remain in niches where its unique properties create extraordinary value. There will continue to be "Much Wow" headlines but big picture will be "so Small". Makers are not going to replace Manufacturers any time soon.

 10. Unicorns / "New Ways of Working" / Gig Economy - 2017 will be Shit or Bust year for many Unicorns that rely on "New Ways of Working" using worker exploitation or (and, in some cases) regulatory arbitrage based business models. Many Unicorns are shitting themselves, some big names will go bust in 2017 - especially at risk are those that are growing by using investor money to buy market share that then run into regulatory headwinds. There is much flummery going on as Unicorns caught on the horn of this dilemma attempt to pivot. You can't make book on this yet, unfortunately...

 And, as its now the rage in "curating" listicles, here's a Bonus Prediction:

 11. AR/VR - Useful bits of AR will become integrated into Mobile and Wearable devices over time, VR will be a niche pursuit until (if) price points come down hugely and even then its not likely to expand much farther than the gaming aficionado market. Resist all blandishments that this is the future, it won't be.

 *As an aside, there have been a number of deaths from hybrid auto-cars beinh used outside their "safe zones", so far the makers haven't been touched. So far.... broadstuff firstname.lastname@example.com (Alan Patrick) 2016-12-31T10:58:34Z http://broadstuff.com/wfwcomment.php?cid=2943 0 http://broadstuff.com/rss.php?version=1.0&type=comments&cid=2943 Hacking off finger(print)s http://broadstuff.com/archives/2942-Hacking-off-fingerprints.html As no-one predicted ever (erm, 2012 anyone?), hackers have hacked fingerprint recognition technologies on mobiles - ZD Net

New research, set to be announced at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday, by FireEye researchers Tao Wei and Yulong Zhang outlined new ways to attack Android devices to extract user fingerprints.

 The threat is for now confined mostly to Android devices that have fingerprint sensors, such as Samsung, Huawei, and HTC devices, which by volume remains low compared to iPhone shipments. But down the line by 2019, where it's believed that at least half of all smartphone shipments will have a fingerprint sensor, the threat deepens.

 Of the four attacks outlined by the researchers, one in particular -- dubbed the "fingerprint sensor spying attack" -- can "remotely harvest fingerprints in a large scale," Zhang told ZDNet by email.

 The problem isn't just limited to mobile devices. The researchers warned that many of the attacks they note in their talk also apply to high-end laptops with fingerprint sensors. Vendors are rushing out patches, but its clear that this extra-security approach is hackable

 And the problem is, once hacked, you can't change your fingerprint.....

Drone Drop Economics - Copyright Broadsight Ltd

 I was reading an MiT Technology article on Ocado's super-automated warehouse (h/t Renaissance Chambara) and after all the description of the robot warehouse it talked about logistics and the use of robot vans for delivery. (For non UK people, Ocado picks the food at its warehouse and then delivers to your door via a fleet of vans).

 Now we use Ocado and similar, as do many suburban Londoners, as the time to drive and shop in London's traffic makes it very convenient and at c £3 per delivery, it actually almost costs in vs taking the car - or at least I and many others are happy to pay the extra cost for the saved time and hassle.

 But when I started to think about Robot vans negotiating London's narrow and traffic choked suburban streets, and then doing a robo-delivery to the countless different front of house arrangements - gate / drive / stairs / entry / stairs (a lot of people use Ocado et al so the driver can take their heavy shopping up several flights of stairs to their apartment), I came to the conclusion that this was all going to be a long, long way off and the article was just doing the usual techno-hype crapdance at that point. I also then understood exactly why Amazon was interested in drones - heck, if they can fly contraband to prisoners they can deliver to Nth floor apartments (maybe in the future all apartments will have dronepads bolted on)

 But then I started to think about payloads and flight costs and quickly realised that drones are probably only ever going to deliver light, high value items, and grocery shopping probably isn't in that category, because it's heavy and relatively low value.

 Now no consultant can go for long without a trusty 2 x 2 matrix, so sure enough, there is one at the top of the page to illustrate the point - in essence the only drone delivery space is light and valuable (top left) as:

(ii) Payload limits - to lift heavy stuff you need big drones, but they themselves are heavy and thus will be too dangerous to have whizzing around suburban skies Right now there is a 20kg weight limit (drone plus payload) outside of safe spaces but that's because there are so few drones. A weight of just a few kilograms dropping out the skies can seriously hurt someone, so this weight limit will come down over time in populated areas, and that limits payload so your typical Ocado shop will need a LOT of smaller drones each carrying their kilo or so of goods. (Think of your weekly shop, break it into c 1 kg / 2 pound lots, and then think of the number of drones needed)

 (i) If the item isn't valuable it won't pay the cost of the flight. There are 3 cost factors at work here:

 - Drones that can do this sort of delivery are heli-drones, ie they have no ability to fly using wings - every inch they move up and along is driven by the propellors, its the most high cost way to drive a flying object

 - The payload will be limited so there won't be the multiple drop off points on a route, ie they will need to do far more drone-miles from warehouse to customer per package, which further pushes up costs.

 - Furthermore, to carry the average shop will need a LOT of these smaller, safer drones and they will have to move as a swarm, so delivery will have extra queuing time, where drones have to hover airborne awaiting their turn to drop the goods - and you can't turn the motor off as you do with a van (and that's ignoring the question of whether multiple flocks of 40 or so drones will ever be allowed to go buzzing round the suburbs

 Here comes the weekly shop....

 Somehow, I don't think the optimal solution is flying the 40 or so drones small enough to be safe in a big flock from out of town warehouse some 20+ miles away on a fly/drop/return flightplan.

 Next step will probably be someone suggesting giant dirigibles flying above the suburbs as mobile van-hives with drones buzzing to and fro from them, but all this does is reduce drone to/from flight and replace it with a dirigible flight cost. The weight/value equation will still cut in, big time.

 (Update - it appears Amazon have patented the blimp-drone thing - that was quick, I only wrote about it this morning....)

 broadstuff firstname.lastname@example.com (Alan Patrick) 2016-12-29T08:48:06Z http://broadstuff.com/wfwcomment.php?cid=2941 1 http://broadstuff.com/rss.php?version=1.0&type=comments&cid=2941 How did our Ten 2016 Predictions go? http://broadstuff.com/archives/2940-How-did-our-Ten-2016-Predictions-go.html At the beginning of the year we made ten major predictions for key technologies this year. They are tongue in cheek, as an antidote to the portentious projections that come out at this time every year but there is always a serious point behind them. Here's how we did :

 1. There will be an infinite number of Tech forecasts coming out in the next few days/weeks. All will be mainly wrong (except ours of course).

Well this was an easy one to get right of course  Our results were 6 spot on on, one happened this year when we thought it wouldn't, one didn't happen which we thought would, and one we got half right - so 6 1/2 out of 9, that's a higher hit rate than most so we will award ourselves a point for this one as well .

 2. By mid 2016 there will be an Uber for anything and everything being pitched by someone, somewhere. By late 2016 an Ubermensch will kick-start an Uber for Ubers, and the cycle will implode up its own asymptote.

Not quite an Uber for Uber, we weren't serious about that - but there have been some real doozies pitched - my favourite is the Uber for your washing machine.

 3. There will be an unseemly rush of Unicorns for the IPO gate. It will be seen that many Unicorns are just turkeys though, and they will jump the shark rather than the gate, which will mostly remain bolted.

We got this one half wrong - not in our view that that many had to rush for the gate or go to the wall - but that they could. Turns out that the bubblemarket started to deflate and there were very, very few - but there were quite a few failures and a general realisation that Unicorns were not what they should be - even the Economist at year end even pointing out that " a great many of the business models that have led to astonishing valuations for startups – like Uber – may be based on attempts to end run regulations to exploit workers, as opposed to technological breakthroughs"

 4. By the end of 2016, the predictions that "2016 will be the Year of Mobile X" will be reset to 2017.

This is our annual snark at Planet Mobile, which - since we started the blog 10 years ago - has always been extremely (over)hyped about its prospects each new year. Our favourite is Ben Evan's series that started in 2014 that "mobile is eating the world". This year was no exception, but the world still remains uneaten, and next year's prediction of "mobile eating the world" has just come out. By the way, they are very good reads, but the title is endemic of Planet Mobile - no ways will you ever see a report saying "Mobile growth 2017 - doing nicely enough thank you" .

 5. The worry about Ad Blockers being used will continue to increase exponentially faster than the use of Ad Blockers grows

The panic was overstated as predicted but one hopeful sign is the increasing realisation in the Ad industry that (i) they may be a cause of the problem and (ii) people who are using Ad blockers do not want to talk to you.

 6. Another Tech Consumer Wearable will be released amongst great fanfare, and sink in a sea of indifference.

Well, Pebble surpassed us here and overall the whole market has still not lived up to the hype in 2016, and by some measures is even in decline. This year the Apple wireless ear thingies were released, and...well, can you remember what they were called?

 7. Someone will point out that The Cloud is just Bureau Computing 2.0 and a natural commodity*, and it will be rebadged (again)
 .
We were wrong - Cloud is still Cloud, the predicted total new-wine-into-old phase change has been pushed back

 8. The Internet of Things Fridge use case will still be the most oft repeated one in public. In private, surveillance and monitoring will be.

You can't make it up - these two use cases crashed together and hit the headlines in a big way when the Mirai virus roped in surveillance cameras as well as all those dumb fridges, toasters etc using endemic IoT insecurty to launch one of the biggest DDoS attacks of the year. I guess technically we were wrong, in that the hidden use case became very public, but we are delighted to be wrong here, it as really put the cat among the IoT pigeons!

 9. Artifical Intelligence will be seen as The Answer, despite the salutary experience of Die Antwoord (The Answer) with robot artificial intelligence. Someone will hack a traffic routefinder system and send all cars to Coventry.

The hype over AI has indeed gone into overdrive, but our point about self drive cars not really ready for use had more tragic outcomes than our tongue in cheek comment, with a number of drivers being killed in crashes

 10. There will be multiple leaks of private user data, and users will still blink lemming-like every time it happens, believing that their free service provider values them as a special, unique snowflake (well it does of course, that value is their sale price)

And there were! Just before writing this Yahoo put the bow on the show admitting 1 billion accounts had been hacked in 2014. - and yet everyone still just seems to sign up, hit the "I agree" and dump their lives onto the 'Web.

 So by our reckoning two wrong (one almost -over-wrong), one half wrong, six right, one we gifted ourself so 75% hit rate. Arguably the mobile one and "we'll be more accurate" are self righting, so 5 1/2 right out of 8 may be a better marker - a mere 69% then..... broadstuff email@example.com (Alan Patrick) 2016-12-17T23:26:19Z http://broadstuff.com/wfwcomment.php?cid=2940 0 http://broadstuff.com/rss.php?version=1.0&type=comments&cid=2940 What is the point of Pollsters? http://broadstuff.com/archives/2938-What-is-the-point-of-Pollsters.html

The increasingly standard Election Prediction Method of predicting one winner till the total volte-farce at the last minute

 After their superb showing in Brexit and the US Election, we bring you the best yet - the Richmond by-election in London. One candidate is definitely going to win, until the last minute when it seems the other is. (Betfair win probability graph, hat tip to Mike Smithson)

 Those who don't read this blog may not know that we correctly predicted Trump's election (and had the balls to go public about it 3 days before the election), but what we never understood was what the pollsters were up to - our monitoring systems told us that Trump was way ahead from the get go. Yes there was a spike for Hillary at the end, but it was from behind.

 Yet the pollsters consistently showed her (and Remain, and now Zac Goldsmith) way in front till the Shock (hah!) Ending - how come? There are really only 3 possible reasons:

i) Their methods are crap, they are talking to their choir
 ii) Their methods are fine but some form of mental fug (confirmation bias?) prevents them from interpreting it properly
 iii) It is a deliberate attempt to influence an election via "Fake News"

 We originally thought it was (ii), but now we begin to wonder.... broadstuff firstname.lastname@example.com (Alan Patrick) 2016-12-02T06:06:00Z http://broadstuff.com/wfwcomment.php?cid=2938 0 http://broadstuff.com/rss.php?version=1.0&type=comments&cid=2938

IT HAS been fashionable to say that yesterday's prosaically named "London meeting" was a waste of time because Israel was not present.
That is unfair. The meeting's achievements are real, if very modest. The gathering began to spell out, in a more detailed way than ever before, the practical steps needed to set up a viable Palestinian state.
It extracted a few precise commitments from the Palestinian Authority — and made precise demands on its Arab neighbours to give real help.
It was, above all, a recognition of the significance of the death of the Palestinian leader Yassir Arafat. Had

Having used epilators in the past I was not exactly looking forward to this but wow, totally recommended. I've also used the body brush too but regularly want to use this over a period of time to see what the results are
I was very impressed when I got my Braun silk-epil 7 through the post. I've never used an epilator before bit was pleasantly surprised. It took me a while to gather up the courage to put it on my skin but when I did I didn't know why I fussed so much! Very easy to use, virtually pain free, just a little sore on the more tender areas (ankles & behind the knee) the battery is very good and love that it's cordless. I sat put in the garden an used mine! I also love the idea that you can use it when your legs are wet too! But overall I am extremely happy with this product! I have beautiful smooth and silky legs!
Well I am verry impressed with the braun silk-epil 7 skin spa,I was curious to see if it cuts the shortest of hair like it says as,short as a grain ov sand! And it really does not only this my legs feel great and smooth such a better result than using a razor and shaving cream so much so I won't b needing my razor anymore! Also the exfoliator head is a verry welcome bonus my skin feels great.I have shown this product to freinds and family and they would like to purchase one.its the perfect beauty essential especially for summer, but also all year round. I have and would highly reccomend this ladies! :)
When I received the braun silk-epil 7 through the post I was very excited, however when it came to actually using the product I was very apprehensive. This was my first time using an epilator and I had heard that it hurts a lot. When I got the courage to put this on my skin and start using it I realized that it was virtually painless due to the message system which works like a charm! Not only that it is very easy to use, I have tried all of the different heads and I actually like all of them. The shaver was easy to use and much quicker than a usual razor which I will never use again. The exfoliator really was as good, as I expected, and after one use my skin felt silky and velvety smooth. My favourite head was the epilator, on the box it says that it removes even very fine hairs and it was definitely correct. This head was perfect and much better than waxing as it gets even the smallest hairs. I really do like this product and I think that if you are considering whether or not to buy it you should, also an added bonus is that you can use the epilator on wet skin!
So I received my brand new epilator (thanks BzzAgent) on Thursday. I was so excited! I have had epilators in the past but stopped using them as I didn't like how they worked. After receiving this epilator I could wait to get inside the box. I opened it and was amazed at how many attachments there were. You get and epilator attachment, a shaver attachment, 2 cover attachments (one for face and one for armpits/bikini line), a cleaning brush, an exfoliating brush head (with cover), a charger and a bag to keep them all in. So as I suffer badly with facial hair and after using hair removal cream for years, my face was the first place I tried it on and the results are amazing! Its instant and I had finished removing hair within a couple of minutes. My next step was to try the shaver head for my legs. It worked ok but didn't cut the hair right down as I would have liked it to and definitely doesn't cut well in water. I then tried the exfoliating brush. Works brilliantly in water or dry. My skin felt noticeably softer and felt cleaner after I used it. All in all I am very happy with the epilator and all the accessories that come with it. Thank you again BzzAgent for letting me try this fabulous product.
I have used several epilators in the past all different brands and always ones designed to be used in water I find it less painful to epilate in the bath.
However as soon as I received this epilator I got out of the packaging and tried it immediately on dry legs, it was painless and it does exactly what it states, removes very short hair (mine was very short stubble as had previously shaved them 2 days before). My legs were lovely and smooth within minutes. There was a slight redness to my legs which I think has to be expected as I had just plucked the hairs out of the roots but this faded very quickly, I would say within 15 minutes.
A great part of the design of this epilator is the pivoting head as it makes areas such as ankle and knees easy to get too.
It comes in attractive packaging, and has 4 different attachments. It's cordless for easy use.
Overall this is a great product. This is easily the best epilator I have used and the most pain free one, I will be strongly recommending this to my friends.
Received this on Friday, and can't wait to try the exfoliation attachment. I already had a Braun Silk Epil 7, which I've used for about a year and have always been impressed with the results. It's this exfoliation brush I want to try out, to see if it improves my skin and in the longer term prevents ingrowing hairs. This is what it's meant to do-
The exfoliation brush removes dead skin cells with massaging micro-vibrations to bring out a naturally improved skin appearance. For results comparable to professional exfoliation.
So I will let you all know how it goes soon
it was really good i have never used one before and now i would recomend it. It was still painfull removing the hair but what hair removal isnt but it was so easy to use you couldnt miss any hairs it so adatable to all areas with its difrent attactments and the exfoleater was to die for it really left your skin fresh and completley relaxed you
I love love this epilater!! I used the brush attachment first to exfoiliate, i didnt feel like it actually exfoiliated though, but this said everything else was fab!!. I used the shaving attachment first to shorten the hair and it worked really well, i done one leg dry and one wet, then used the epilator attachement after, it worked well on dry but even better on wet, as the warm water helps, then splashed with a little cold water to close pores after. I done legs, bikini line, under arms and upper lip. When looking to buy it doesnt really make it clear enough you can do bikini line, although it says you can in the booklet. I was expecting it to be really painfull but this wasnt the case, the upper lip was quite uncomfortable but everywere else was very bareable and even less when wet. I would really recomend this to anyone, its quick and easy. And more inportantly leaves you smooth for longer :)
Gets rid of the shortest hair which is always good
great attachments which is easy to change
easy to clean
charging light is very usefull so you know when to charge it
earsy to use
handy storage pouch
would defintley recommend
