Written by Alison Michel, Producer for National Geographic Education
You've probably heard of "crowdsourcing," the very 21st-century term coined in 2006 in Wired magazine. This new word, a twist on the idea of outsourcing, describes the practice of posing a question or challenge to the public, and asking for individuals to contribute a small piece to the project goal. Successful examples of online crowdsourcing include Kickstarter, a fundraising website for individual projects; National Geographic's own search for the tomb of Genghis Khan; and the uber crowdsourcing phenomenon, Wikipedia.
All of which is to say, the concept and practice of crowdsourcing has found a place in 21st-century society. But recently, I've started noticing a crowdsourcing niche, one that has yet to be named but I believe deserves to be singled out as its own phenomenon. Let me give you some examples.
The revolutionary documentary A Simple Question tells the story of a
classroom turned community activist. It all started in Laurette Rogers' fourth grade
classroom when, after watching a film on endangered species, a
student asked what she could do to help. Seizing the opportunity,
their teacher conceived a project that utilized her students' energy,
intelligence, and time. Together, they identified a threatened species
of shrimp native to the local streams of the area. This habitat was
eroding due to agricultural development (probably livestock
management). Students collaborated with scientists and ranchers to
understand the problem and develop a solution: plant trees to
stabilize the waterways and offer shade for cattle. They fulfilled the
mission by raising funds to purchase trees, and then planting the trees
with the help of friends, family, and community members.
Then there's Nat Geo's own BioBlitz, a ten-year collaboration with the
National Park Service. A BioBlitz is a great adventure in which students
and scientists join forces to identify species in our national parks.
Together, they observe, identify, and record plants, animals, insects,
and birds, generating valuable data for use by the Park Service. This
year's BioBlitz in Saguaro National Park included the discovery of a
microscopic creature called a tardigrade, or water bear, that was not
previously known to exist in the park. This information fills gaps in
the rangers' knowledge of the overall ecosystem of the region. The
bioblitz concept can be applied on any scale–from a schoolyard to a
backyard to a neighborhood park or even inside a classroom. In every
case, the practice of observing closely and documenting what living
creatures were found in a specific place at a specific time is a valuable
experience for both the individual and for those who will access the
data in the future.
To map and archive the data collected by the students and other
participants, BioBlitz uses FieldScope, an online interactive GIS
mapping tool. (FieldScope is also used by students who take field trips
to the Chesapeake Bay watershed to gather data including oxygen levels,
pH balance, temperature and biotic communities.)
So what is the common thread through these crowdsourced undertakings? Exactly: kids.
What is the wave of the future? Kid-sourcing.
Think about it: On one hand, we have 55 million kids going to school
every day, trying to acquire 21st-century skills like self-management,
problem-solving, decision-making, and communication, that will prepare
them for a rapidly changing future. On the other hand, we have profound
challenges facing our communities, from water shortages to aging
infrastructure to erratic weather to shifting population dynamics. These
problems are hugely daunting when considered on a global level, but
taken down to the local level, there is a chance that some progress can
be made to prepare for or recover from these challenges.
At the National Council for Geographic Education conference earlier this
year, I noticed that the walls were covered with fascinating posters
illustrating research on geographic topics like energy, population,
recycling, and natural disasters. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that these
professional-looking posters had been produced by high
school students as entries into the NCGE Map Gallery contest
(coordinated by Anita Palmer). To create each poster, students used
geographic inquiry–a step-by-step process to identify, research, and
analyze information, with the goal of making wise decisions and taking
healthy actions. One of the posters used geographic inquiry to identify
the best locations for solar farms in the northeastern U.S. By
calculating GIS data sets such as land costs, distance to population,
and photovoltaic intensity, the student produced a short list of
suitable options. The student also noted that, while these locations
were the best available, solar power is not yet cost-effective as a
large-scale replacement for fossil fuels, but may be useful on a smaller
scale. This realization is a valuable lesson as well, like those
learned in research and development, and through the scientific method:
not all theories pan out like you think they will. But in a classroom,
the primary goal is educating the individual, not testing a theory or
developing a product. In this case, the student gained valuable math,
science, geography, and economic information skills, as well as
21st-century skills and strategies. (NCGE is accepting entries for 2012
Clearly, students are uniquely positioned to offer incredible
contributions to their communities: they have the potential for focused
passion, boundless energy, and perhaps most importantly, lots and lots
of time. Whereas many would-be activists are unable to make time away
from the pull of family and work, students have at least seven hours
every day, nine months out of the year, to dedicate to learning.
Students can fully explore a problem, research it from all angles, and
develop and test innovative and unusual potential solutions, with the
guidance of a teacher or informal educator. (The student engagement that
results from such project-based learning has been proven to improve
classroom management, by the way.) A fully realized community project
not only can, but must incorporate elements of all subjects, from
writing letters and proposals and calculating data to illustrating
project plans and mapping activity locations. Of course, this is not to
say that kid-sourced projects should replace an entire curriculum, but
rather to recognize the incredible opportunity offered by actively
engaging students, classrooms, teachers, and schools in community
A search for the phrase "kid-sourced" and "kid-sourcing" on the Internet
yielded results oriented toward the business community: various
opportunities to integrate children into a family business, efforts to
use kids and youths as test-groups for marketing agencies, and even a
fictitious parental outsourcing company. This last example is the opposite of
education, where information is extracted from kids in order to create
products that are more desirable and profitable. Let's reclaim
kid-sourcing as a force for good that empowers students, encourages
communities, and enriches lives.
The bottom line: Incorporating community-oriented projects into
classroom instruction is a win-win for students and citizens. But you
don't have to take my word for it.
What examples of kid-sourcing have you seen? Have you ever been part of a
kid-sourced project? Are you a community organizer who has an idea for a
project that could be kid-sourced? Please comment!

As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Avior has re-affirmed its support for the Kaibigan Ermita Outreach Foundation. This NGO has over the twenty eight years of its existence proven its approach in providing education to children in Manila's poorest neighbourhoods and empowering local communities to take responsibility in changing things for the better around those children.
For this reason Avior has decided to set aside part of their fees to donate to Kaibigan. For this purpose Avior was visited by a Kaibigan delegation consisting of Susan Biteng (Director), Flor Balanza (Financial Manager) and board Members Eloisa & Robert Salomon.
After a short ceremony Avior President Edna Ranara handed over the donation for 2014 to Kaibigan Director Susan Biteng stating "a year ago all our efforts were focussed on helping out Avior Seafarer families affected by Supertyphoon Yolanda but we have moved on since then and now time has come to redirect our attention to those less priviliged and a ccause we believe in. We hope our business will expand so our donation to Kaibigan will increase as well".
On behalf of Kaibigan Ms Susan Biteng thanked Avior for the trust and support received not only from Avior but also some of its Principals in the past.

How to Use Instagram Stories to Build Your Audience
If you are not new in the world of social media, you must have used Instagram, which is one of the fastest-growing social media platforms on the web. The image-sharing app has launched its stories back in 2016 but that was not much effective. Till June 2018, Instagram Stories achieved 400 million daily active users – a great jump from 300 million in October 2017.
The stories option has got some amazing features. Here you can upload photos, videos, and even texts. You can make them both interactive and creative. This is a great platform to connect and engage with your users on a long-term basis.
There are a lot of brands out there who utilize the power of Instagram to build their audience and promote their products. Promotion and brand awareness is very easy and flexible compared to the other social media platforms out there. If you have not started using the power of Instagram, you must start and see the improvement, or if you need some tips, we are here to guide you, read on to learn more.
1. Leverage Story Highlights
Any idea that what to do after 24 hours of uploading your story? Don't worry as Instagram has kept a backup for you. Really! Yes, there is an option called highlight, just use the "Add to Highlights" option and guess! Your stories can be watched on your account in the highlighted area.
This highlight feature allows brands to run multiple stories simultaneously so that audience can connect with your brand anytime, this will definitely make your content everlasting.
You could highlight interviews of experts in them or off-camera footage of any events you were a member of. You can even feature photographs of your customers utilizing your items, or on the other hand, consider sharing special and great features of your products.
2. Use Polls, Quizzes, or Share Trivia
The poll feature in Instagram Stories is very interesting which keeps users engaged in your post. Also, it gives information about the likes and preferences of the viewers.
These amazing features can assist you in creating content that connects with your visitors very well. When you query about their perceptions you get significant information and that will make them more valued and engaged with your brand.
This method is also the best way to get customer feedback. It can help you understand how your online followers and customers respond to you, and this feedback can help you improve your products in the long run.
3. Leverage User-Generated Content
The best way to use your stories to engage and build an audience is to leverage user-generated content (UGC). Motivate your followers to feature your brand in their stories and tag your brand in their stories.
You can motivate a user to share their experience with everyone by offering some incentive. And an incentive of featuring them on your Instagram profile can also be a good idea.
User-generated content has many advantages. It enables you to promote your products in organic ways. It also increases the trust of the audience. It makes a better connection with an audience.
4. Leverage Influencers
Influencer marketing is the best way to promote your brand and products. It can help you get new audiences and increase conversions by allowing consumers to discover your products easily.
You can leverage Stories for influencer marketing in two ways:
- 1. You can ask influencers to feature your brand in their Insta stories area.
- 2. Or you can share your photos and videos with influencers and ask them to share their stories.
If you have a limited budget you should consider working with micro-influencers. Micro-influencers are very cost-effective and their engagement rate is comparatively lower. They help to generate more ROI from your influencer campaign.
You need to work with many of them to reach more people. Working with an influencer will help you to grow your campaign. You can ask them to use your brand hashtag(#) or insert your website link. Make sure your influencer tag your brand in their stories.
For the success of your campaign, make sure your influencer is relevant and expert in their niche. They must have a relevant number of followers and a good engagement rate.
5. Share Personal Stories
Almost every active Instagrammer stay curious about what's trending on Insta, to tap that curiosity you can attach stories of your brands and products, customer testimonials, the procedure each product has undergone during their making, and to say the least, you can share about your employee experience too.
It is our suggestion that you personalize your experience of your audience with stories that occur behind the scenes which help you grow your brand and engage with your brand at a core level.
6. Use Videos in Stories
Instagram provides an option to share recorded videos and live videos in stories. According to research, 90% of all web traffic will likely be video traffic. So don't miss it.
Instagram is a crowded place. A live video is a great option to get more visibility. In this platform, you will definitely get noticed even if there is high competition in your industries.
You can share tutorial videos about how your product is manufactured or how can they use it. Even you can share your pre-recorded video that defines the beauty of your product.
Videos are the best way to learn about the new product so sharing videos about your product will boost your brand awareness.
You must focus on your videos in a way that it must be with some creative thought and unique in presentation. Don't focus completely on promoting your products.
Engage your audience in such a conversation where you can showcase to your viewers how your product can be beneficial for them.
Your videos could be about:
- Events you organized or participated in.
- About product launch
- Live and exclusive interviews
- A newsletter
7. Add Hashtags to Your Stories
Hashtags are the best way to help your content get promoted.
Creating a better Insta Story takes time, effort, and ideas. Hashtags can ensure that they get the views they deserve.
Hashtags can expand the reach of your post. Also, they help to connect with other Instagram communities. The user can also add customized hashtags to their stories.
You can also add a location to your story so that your post can be shown to a particular location. Adding location stickers in your Stories will help you to show up in more searches and people will be able to find you easily.
Also, tag yourself in your Stories; this will send the user to your profile. Don't forget to tag influencers and other people you mention in your Stories too.
8. Promote Your Stories
Instagram permits you to run story ads so they are visible to other users to get viewers to your profile. It can be a single image or 15-sec videos.
Ads are included taking in mind the theme and format of the message. To promote your images or videos to get a new audience and boost brand awareness.
It is certain that Instagram has a huge role to play in the future of social media marketing. If you are not out there to grab your share then you are missing out on a lot of advantages. It has got everything to convert your potential customers into actual ones.

Peach Buttermilk Bread Pudding. Could there be a more perfect comfort food? I think not. It is nearly impossible to compete with my husband's very favorite bread pudding, but this comes pretty close. Bread pudding has always been one of his favorites. Every so often I make something that's just for him.
We are working from home together now and it's crazy how fun it can be to live and work together. The first few days after the kids went back to school, we felt a bit giddy. We can work UNINTERRUPTED. We even watched a movie UNINTERRUPTED for the first time in forever. We ate lunch, again UNINTERRUPTED. It's been kind of great. Then we walk down to the bus stop in the afternoon and get the kids. It's nice settling into a new normal. You know? I think I like it.
And I think my husband likes it too. I'm excited to see where things go for us the next year or so. Hopefully you'll come along for the journey. We're essentially starting over and deciding to really give our freelance work a chance. Long term unemployment has given us a little bit of confidence, funny enough. It's scary, but I'm glad we're taking that leap together. Plus, the bonus of us working together is that there is always something tasty to eat or drink. Not a bad perk!
I was having a hard time getting to sleep the other night, so I got on Pinterest, like you do. And I started searching for recipes using peaches and buttermilk – two things I have on hand at the moment. I ended up finding a recipe for buttermilk bread pudding with blueberries and decided to modify it a bit and use fresh peaches instead.
Ah, peaches. My very favorite fruit. Someday I will have my own peach orchard with a dozen different kinds of peaches. That's my dream anyway.
I've written before that I have fond memories of eating peaches in my grandmother's kitchen as a child. And I remember loving the peaches for the most part. But I don't think it was until a few years ago that I really tasted a peach. Tasted as in it left an indelible impression on me as the moment when I really fell in love with peaches.
We had just moved from New York. I've got to tell you, it was hard for me to find good peaches there. They definitely had farmers markets and pick-your-own. But I don't remember having peaches there like we have in Utah. The peaches here can get to be the size of large grapefruits. Every inch of them covered in a thick layer of peach fuzz and oozing with sweet juice.
My husband's aunt gave us some Early Elberta peaches she bought from a neighbor. They were the ugliest peaches I had ever seen. But when I peeled the first one and ate it? That was instant love. It was like a first kiss. Totally unforgettable.
Since that day I've been searching for an equally perfect peach. A few have come close, but none have ever tasted quite as wonderful as that one peach did that day five years ago. It was the beginning of my awakening to tasting and enjoying food in a new way. I've never looked back.Print
Peach Buttermilk Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce
Tangy buttermilk pairs perfectly with sweet, juicy peaches in the bread pudding topped with amber caramel sauce.
- Total Time: 1 hour 25 mins
- Yield: 12 1x
- For bread pudding:
- 8 thick slices artisan bread (3/4 lb. loaf), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 cups buttermilk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks (or 1 large egg)
- 1 1/4 lbs. fresh peaches, sliced and cut into 1-inch pieces
- For caramel sauce:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 cup heavy cream, heated until very hot
- pinch sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For bread pudding:
- Butter a 9 by 13-inch pan. Place bread cubes and peaches in an even layer in the pan.
- Whisk buttermilk, sugar, vanilla, eggs and egg yolks. Pour over the bread and peaches. Let stand for about an hour in the fridge. Remove and let come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake for about 45 minutes or until set and top is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Spoon warm bread pudding into bowls and top with caramel sauce.
- Yield: 8 servings
- For caramel sauce:
- Sprinkle the sugar in the bottom of a heavy-duty saucepan. Turn heat on to medium-high. The sugar will start to melt. Gently swirl the pan so the sugar melts evenly. When the sugar has all melted and is golden amber in color, remove from heat and immediately add the butter and cream. It will bubble furiously and then calm down. The caramel will probably clump up. Place the pan over medium heat and stir to melt the clumps. Add a pinch of sea salt and the vanilla extract. Pour into a glass jar or pitcher and keep warm until ready to serve. Cover the leftover sauce and refrigerate. Keeps well for 2 weeks.

Russia's largest state-owned bank has announced that it is accepting passports issued by Ukraine's breakaway republics Donetsk and Lugansk.
The announcement came hours after an investigation by Russia's RBC news outlet revealed on Tuesday. found that none of Russia's top 30 banks would accept passports from either the Donetsk or Luhansk People's Republics, despite the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin to recognize the documents.
The majority of banks did not reply to comment, or said that they only worked with Russian citizens, RBC reported.
A Sberbank spokesperson initially told RBC that procedures were still being put in place for Donetsk and Luhansk passport holders. The bank then changed their position on Tuesday evening, confirming that the documents could be used in branches across the country.
Vladimir Putin signed an executive order officially recognizing identification documents from the two self-proclaimed republics on Feb. 18.
Individuals can now use the documents to cross the Russian border.
The Russian Federation will also recognize locally-issued education documents, certificates recording births, deaths, marriages, and divorces, and automobile registrations.
Putin said that the move would "protect human rights and freedoms" and adding that order was designed as a temporary measure until the conflict in eastern Ukraine was resolved.

Hacking the FLIR E4 thermal camera (2.3.0 resolution and menu hack)
Update 17 Dec 2015: New E4 cameras are coming with firmware version 2.8.0. The hacks cannot be applied on those cameras, however there's some indication that it's possible to downgrade to 2.3.0 firmware and then apply the hacks. Results so far have been inconclusive, with some cameras getting bricked in the process. If you have a 2.8.0 camera please wait and stay tuned. I will post an updated guide as soon as the problem will be sorted out. Thanks!
The FLIR Ex series is the latest line of entry-level thermal imaging cameras by FLIR Systems. The cheapest of the series is E4 with a resolution of 80 by 60 pixels, while the top of the range E8 has a 320 by 240 thermal image resolution.
However, Mike from Mike's Electric Stuff in this teardown video found that the E4 camera is equipped with the same 320 x 240 sensor as the E8 and it is simply software limited to 80 by 60.
In this article I will describe step-by-step the procedure to unleash the full potential of the FLIR E4 and effectively convert it to an E8.
See here for some before and after the resolution upgrade photos: http://toolguyd.com/flir-e4-thermal-imaging-camera-enhancements/
Also see this video to get an idea of how the extended menus look like:
The procedures, scripts, hacks, etc. are not mine. The hack is the result of the hard work of several people from the EEVblog forum and specifically this thread. However, this thread is becoming quite a beast and all the good info is scattered all over the place.
What I am trying to do here is to make a clearly laid out guide for performing the hack, without having to rummage through the 500 pages of the original forum thread.
This guide is only for the E4 cameras with the 2.3.0 firmware. You can find the firmware version by going to Settings, Device Settings, Camera information, Software.
Edited April 15 2015:
If your camera has an older firmware, upgrade it first to 2.3.0 and then perform the hack.
There seems to be some issue with cameras that have been upgraded from 1.xx to 2.3.0. For the time being it is recommended to NOT upgrade the camera and use the hack technique for 1.xx firmwares described in the eevblog thread instead. I hope this problem will be sorted out soon!
If it has a firmware version greater than 2.3.0 you'll have to wait until a new hack comes out. Check the EEVblog thread for updates.
This modification involves replacing some important files from within the camera's internal operating system. The hack so far has been successfully performed on hundreds of E4 cameras, however when meddling with OS files there's always the possibility of something going wrong and the camera may end up permanently BRICKED!
Don't blame me if this happens!
Also performing this hack could result into voiding the warranty and/or legal action against you from FLIR Systems or the United States government.
You are entirely on your own here.
I will also show the procedure to revert the camera back to its original state. But it is quite possible that there are tamper counters inside the camera. In that case, even if the camera is reverted back to normal, FLIR repair personnel will still be able to tell if the camera has been tampered with and may void your warranty.
Enough with the disclaimers, let's cut to the chase!
What you will need:
1. A computer running Windows XP 32 bit or Windows 7 32 bit.
There have been some reports of the hack being successfully deployed from Windows 8, 8.1 or 64 bit Windows versions, but it's mostly hit-and-miss.
So it is strongly recommended to find a Windows XP or 7, 32 bit PC. To see which version of Windows you have, right click on My Computer and select Properties.
The image below is from my laptop, Windows 8.1 AND 64 bit, not good!
It also works from a virtual machine too. Actually, all screenshots below are from a Win7 x32 virtual machine running on Oracle VM Virtualbox. However, and especially if you don't have experience in using virtual machines, I'd recommend to use a physical machine.
2. FLIR device drivers
Download and install the drivers from here: http://cdn.cloud.flir.se/swdownload/assets/other/flir_device_drivers.exe
3. FLIR Tools
This is the older 4.1 version that is compatible with XP too. Download and install them from here: http://cdn.cloud.flir.se/update/flir tools/4.1.14066.1001/flir tools.zip
4. Python 2.x
Python is a programming language and is needed for running the hack scripts. Don't get the newer 3.x versions!
Download it from here: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.9/python-2.7.9.msi
When this dialog comes up during the installation, click the little box on the left of Python and select "Entire feature will be installed on local drive", then click next and finish the installation.
Edited, 21/09/2015: When the installer finishes, restart the computer, else the python scripts described later in this guide might not run properly. (thanks to marcins, from the comments)
5. Filezilla
Filezilla is a free FTP client. We will use it to move files to and from the camera filesystem. Download it from here: https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client
6. Script pack
Download the script pack from this link: FLIR_E4_2.3.0_hack
This pack contains the files found here and the 2.3.0_menu_2014_EX_6_fix.zip found here. I am not taking credit for any of these. I simply combined all these files into a single convenient zip file.
There are three folders in the zipped file, FLIRfif, FLIRmenuhack and FLIRreshack. Copy these folders to the root of the system hard drive (C:\).
General description of the hack
The procedure can be broken down in three parts
- Switching camera to RNDIS mode
- Increasing resolution to 320 x 240 (resolution hack)
- Enabling PIP, extra measuring options, color palettes, etc (menu hack)
Switching camera to RNDIS mode
Normally, when the camera is connected to a PC via USB it is recognized as an external storage device (similar to a USB stick) and the captured photos can be accessed. By turning the RNDIS mode on, the camera is converted to a virtual FTP server and then we can gain access to the embedded OS files.
Assuming you have installed all the software and drivers I mentioned earlier, we can start.
The first step is to connect the camera to the PC using the USB cable provided. Windows will detect the camera and automatically install the drivers:
When the installation is complete, navigate to C:\Program Files\FLIR Systems\FLIR Tools\bin\ and run FLIRInstallNet.exe
(Since we will be using this program a lot, it is a good idea to make a shortcut to the desktop)
Under Camera you should see FLIR USB video. That means the drivers were installed correctly and the tool can communicate with the camera.
Hit Browse… , navigate to C:\FLIRfif, select Set_RNDIS_permament.fif and hit the Run FIF button.
Don't worry about the permament [sic] in the file name, this can always be reverted by repeating the procedure using the Remove_RNDIS_permament.fif file instead.
When the program has finished running, remove and replace the battery from the camera to do a hard reset (the camera doesn't turn off completely with the on-off button, it simply goes to low-power mode).
Turn the camera on. Windows will again start searching for drivers, because now it is in RNDIS mode and needs a different set of drivers.
When the camera is in RNDIS mode and connected to the computer, it is possible that your Internet connection will go down. This is normal and your Internet connection will be automatically restored when the camera is disconnected.
So, don't do anything that requires Internet at the same time!
When it has finished, go to Start, Run… (or alternatively, press the Windows logo button on the keyboard and 'R' at the same time). On the window that pops up type cmd and press enter.
This will bring up the command line interface. Now type ipconfig and press enter. This will do an enumeration of all network interfaces currently on the computer. Scroll a bit to the top and you should see this:
The word INFRARED is a dead giveaway!
Write down the Default Gateway. This is the IP of the camera, in this case 192.168.0.2
There have been reports that if the 192.168.0.x network is already taken, the camera will switch to 192.168.1.2, etc.
Now run Fillezilla. On the quick connect boxes enter the host IP (192.168.0.2 in this case), username: flir and password: 3vlig and hit Quickconnect.
If you haven't used Filezilla before, there are two main panes. The pane on the left shows the local filesystem, ie. the files and folders of your computer. The right pane shows the remote device files and folders, in this case the files inside the E4 camera.
So far we haven't really modified anything, so it is a good idea to make a full backup of the camera files. Select a folder on the left pane, where the backup will be stored. Then select all files and folders in the right pane, right click and select Download.
Some files and folders will fail to transfer, that's normal. Note that some of these files are UNIQUE for your camera. You can't simply copy the files from another E4, it won't work since they are different files. So keep these files safe in case something goes wrong.
Resolution hack
Now we are ready to do the resolution hack. Close Filezilla and bring up the command line interface (Windows key + R, cmd)
Type cd \flirreshack and hit Enter
then type python apply.py apply 192.168.0.2 (or whatever the camera IP is) and hit Enter
If you get: 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. then you forgot to tick the PATH option during the Python installation. Re-install python with the option enabled.
This is the expected output after running the script:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Users\user>cd \flirreshack C:\FLIRreshack>python apply.py apply 192.168.0.2 E4HACK-2 v0.4 **** DISCLAIMER **** - You do this on your own risk. - By using this tool, you agree that you will remove the hack before selling the device. - TO REPEAT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES you are allowed to sell a device that has this hack installed. - Please also uninstall the hack before attempting to do any firmware upgrade. - This was only tested with a factory 2.3.0 E4. IF ANY OF THIS FAILS AND YOU NEED TO RESTORE THE ORIGINAL CONTENTS MANUALLY: (which you shouldn't need to, but just in case...) A backup directory of relevant files is created for each "apply". Simply upload the files manually using FTP. You may have to run "stopapp" before you can overwrite common_dll.dll. Make sure you keep a good backup of your .CFC files. They are strong-signed so if you lose all your backups and the on-device files, _THEY ARE GONE_. (This script backs them up when you "apply", though.) = CONNECT TO FTP = CREATING BACKUP DIR backup-20150330124652 = RETR /FlashBFS/system/common_dll.dll = RETR /FlashFS/system/appcore.d/config.d/conf.cfc Applying 1 bytes of delta at 000053c7 Applying 1 bytes of delta at 000aeedf Applying 4652 bytes of delta at 0000042c * stopping application... * uploading common_dll.dll to /FlashBFS/system/ * failed (error_perm('550 File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).', )). * attempt 2 * failed (error_perm('550 File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).', )). * attempt 3 * failed (error_perm('550 File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).', )). * attempt 4 * uploading conf.cfc to /FlashFS/system/appcore.d/config.d/ * PLEASE HARD-REBOOT DEVICE. C:\FLIRreshack>
The script retrieves files /FlashBFS/System/common_dll.dll and /FlashFS/System/appcore.d/config.d/conf.cfc and backs them up in the backup-xxxxxxxxxxxx folder. Beware, the backed up files are UNIQUE to your camera, if you lose them you will never be able to revert it to its original state. So take good care to not delete them.
Then it generates a new common_dll.dll and conf.cfc files (saved in C:\FLIRreshack\) and replaces the original files in the camera with the generated ones. As seen in the printout, the script returns a 550 error, but after a few retries it manages to push them through.
Hard reboot the camera by removing and replacing the battery. Turn on the camera again. The crosshair will be off-center. Disable it from the camera menu and re-enable it and it should be centered again.
Now the thermal image should be much crispier. Congratulations, you now have a 320 x 240 resolution!
Reverting the resolution hack
To remove the resolution hack and bring the camera back to its original state,
First make sure that the camera is in RNDIS mode and check with ipconfig as shown in the Switching camera to RNDIS mode section of this guide.
Copy the original common_dll.dll and conf.cfc files from the backup folder (C:\FLIRreshack\backup-xxxxxxxxxxxx) to C:\FLIRreshack\. This will overwrite the modified files, but it doesn't matter because they can be generated again with the method shown above.
Then type python apply.py revert 192.168.0.2
This should push original files back to the camera and bring the resolution to the original 80 by 60.
Menu Hack
You can do the menu hack independently from the resolution hack. To do it, first make sure the camera is in RNDIS mode with ipconfig.
Then connect to the camera with Filezilla as shown before. Using the right pane, navigate to /FlashFS/System/appcore.d/config.d/ and right click on the conf.cfc file and download it to C:\FLIRmenuhack\
Go to command line interface (Windows key + R, cmd) and type:
cd \FLIRmenuhack
python menu_conf_e4.py
This will rename the original conf.cfc file you just downloaded from the camera to conf_reso_only.cfc and generate a new conf.cfc in C:\FLIRmenuhack.
Using Filezilla again, replace the conf.cfc found in /FlashFS/System/appcore.d/config.d/ with the one you just generated.
Then, run FLIRInstallNet.exe from C:\Program Files\FLIR Systems\FLIR Tools\bin\
Select the 2.3.0_Menu.fif from C:\FLIRfif\ and click on Run FIF.
When it finishes, your camera will have the E8 menu options!
Reverting the Menu Hack
To revert the menu hack, run FLIRInstallNet.exe from C:\Program Files\FLIR Systems\FLIR Tools\bin\
Select the 2.3.0_Menu_Restore.fif from C:\FLIRfif\ and click on Run FIF.
Then take conf_reso_only.cfc found in C:\FLIRmenuhack, rename it to conf.cfc and upload it to /FlashFS/System/appcore.d/config.d/ overwriting the file under the same name that is already there.
Do a hard reset on the camera and when restarted you should see the original E4 menus.

I don't know what's happened, but we've been having really great weather in Berlin these past few weeks. I've been spending more time outside and enjoying the sun.
I've also noticed that gross-park-couples are in season as well.
Otherwise, naked children abound. Apparently this is normal in Germany.
Oh yes, and Happy Easter weekend!

Gnosia review: A single-player impostor game that still brings the drama
I played a lot of Mafia as a kid. At recess and summer camps, it was a favorite because it required no equipment and no arena, and it wasn't about feats of strength or speed; it was about lying, and noticing when others were lying. When I first heard about Gnosia, a single-player version of the traditional impostor social game, I wondered how it would capture that tension. From playground Mafia to recent crazes like Among Us, the thrill comes from trying to see through how your friends lie, and fooling them in turn.
Amazingly, Gnosia pulls it off. Even though you're playing against computers instead of humans, the game builds tension through its charismatic cast and turn-based debate scrums, then threads it all together with an overarching mystery. Though frustratingly paced at times, Gnosia still makes a single-player version of "find the impostor" work.
Image: Petit Depotto via Polygon
The game begins with you waking up to a blaring red alarm. Someone named Setsu ushers you into a room with the other crew members of a ship adrift in space. You learn about Gnosia, an alien lifeform that mimics humans in order to erase them from the universe. They've infiltrated the vessel; you don't know who they are, and protocol dictates that you need to put a suspect into cryogenic cold sleep before you can resume warping through space.
It starts out fairly simple: just find the impostor. If you're right, you win; if not, you reconvene the next day and pick another person, hopefully not getting to the point where over half the crew is Gnosia and you lose. In that initial case, you eventually find the right or wrong person, lock them in cold sleep, and that's that.
And then it starts all over again. Because Gnosia isn't just a singular "werewolf" game, but a time loop as well. You are stuck repeating this theater of suspicion over and over. The mystery keeps growing: more crewmates join in, Gnosia hide in greater numbers, and special roles for crewmates start to become available.
For example, the Engineer can scan someone each night to detect if they're Gnosia, and the Doctor can scan the person most recently put into cold sleep to see if they were Gnosia or not. These roles become critical venues for gathering information. Other roles, like the AC Follower, exist solely to disrupt conversation. Through each loop, you will randomly embody any of these roles, with different modifiers; eventually, you'll be able to determine your own settings for each loop, deciding how many crew, Gnosia, and which roles are present, as well as the role you want to play. That includes being Gnosia yourself.
Image: Petit Depotto via Polygon
Unlike Among Us, where taking someone out is a matter of sneaky movement of your avatar to cover your tracks, Gnosia strategy is all about logic and deduction. Information is power, and you have a lot of it. Crewmates will suspect each other purely based on perceived inconsistencies in someone's personality, general demeanor, or sometimes just because they feel like it. You can use that to your advantage by noticing when someone's not speaking up as much as they usually do, or leaning too hard into a role to try and convince everyone that they are who they say they are.
Each character has their own personality, informed by their own past and quantitatively aggregated in Gnosia's six traits, which the player character also has. The Charisma trait makes others likely to follow your lead, and Intuition makes you better at spotting lies. A high Logic score helps you convince others that you're right, while Performance can help you lie or get a point across. Lots of Charm makes you less likely to get chosen for cold sleep, while Stealth makes it less likely the Gnosia will target you, or that others will realize you have malicious intent.
Through each loop, your own character can build up these traits using experience points earned while looping. Eventually, you'll unlock skills to use in debates; rather than simply agreeing that someone is suspicious, you can Exaggerate about how sketchy they are in the hopes of turning the group's sights on them. Of course, others can use these abilities too, and drawing too much attention on yourself might backfire, making you look suspicious in turn—or even like a tasty target for the Gnosia.
Image: Petit Depotto via Polygon
Though the crew members started out as strangers, I became deeply familiar with them all. I now know their likes and dislikes, who they're likely to partner with or suspect, who's eager to suspect anyone, and who can easily discern lies—and most importantly, their tells. Raqio is a Logic behemoth, fearsome in late-game scenarios if they can get there, but they're often an easy target for suspicion. Kukrushka, meanwhile, is hard to accuse of being Gnosia because of how Charming she is, making her an effective ally in debates or, if you're a conniving monster like me, good cover for you and your Gnosia pals.
That might be Gnosia's best trick: how it gradually turns these avatars slinging accusations at one another into people you can understand. Loop over loop, you have to adjust to what you're given and what you can learn over time, all the while relying on how well you know these characters to stay alive. In one loop, Chipie was a trusted ally, helping me systematically wipe the crew out one by one and tricking them into cold-sleeping the wrong people. That ship was ours. Then, several loops later, Chipie was a constant thorn in my side. I was still Gnosia, but he was not. It seemed like he saw right through my fake claim that I was the Doctor, and he'd constantly cast suspicion on myself and the other Gnosia. My stats weren't high enough; I couldn't bluff my way out. My next Gnosia loop, I still held a grudge, so he was first to go.
Even without a real-life human on the other side of these arguments, the cast of Gnosia always feels reactive and evolving. They have no qualms about calling bullshit on lies, or finding you even more suspicious if you try to encourage doubts about another person right after you've been called out. It blew my mind when a crewmate pointed out that the Gnosia eliminating one of my previous detractors made me look suspicious, because they were right. I was Gnosia; I took out that nosy jerk who called me sketchy in front of everyone, and even as the rest of the crew unceremoniously dragged me for several rounds of debate about it and then dunked me into a cryo tank, I had to admit, they got me.
Image: Petit Depotto via Polygon
These little moments make up the framework of the game's larger story. You're not just looping to play some Mafia, after all — there are bigger mysteries afoot, like what the Gnosia are, and why they're on the ship. Where did the ship leave from, and where is it going? And why are you looping?
You unravel that mystery through social conversations with the crew. Gnosia can feel like two games in that respect: a single-player roguelike impostor game, and a traditional visual novel with branching narratives that have good and bad ends. The greater goal of Gnosia is not necessarily to win, but to learn, so it encourages you to search for strange outcomes and settings that might, for example, make one character more talkative than they usually would be.
What makes Gnosia unique among visual novels might also be its biggest sticking point for some: randomness. Some loops require certain conditions to be completed before you can learn the lore you're looking for. In some loops, I'd never have the right conditions met to get what I needed, so I had to either play out a game or jump out and reset. The game certainly elicited other frustrations, too: sometimes at my best-laid plans falling apart, and sometimes at the struggle to find the way forward. The occasional errant argument could throw everything askew; it was sometimes hard to tell why an ally had turned on me, or the reasoning behind one character's doubt of another.
That Gnosia managed to elicit these emotions and still keep me invested is a testament to how good it is when it works well. Real surprises, sad moments, and even slight scares were all had in the course of my time-looping journey, which took me a little over 20 hours to play through to the credits. Rather than seeming like two disparate sections, the larger story and the impostor game intertwined and enhanced each other. In one loop, I betrayed a fellow Gnosia to draw suspicion away from a character I needed to talk to. In another loop, a character professed their love for the player character; I had to vote to cold sleep them in the next.
Image: Petit Depotto via Polygon
When I got into triple-digits of loops, I could start speeding through text boxes. I knew what they were saying; I knew this group and its dynamics. I'd survived dozens of Gnosia invasions, helmed just as many, and died in dozens more. Just by seeing who spoke and when, I could identify the weak points. I understood these characters, just as I came to understand my friends through those playground Mafia games. Even when the Gnosia characters were my enemies, I felt endeared to them. I enjoyed spending time with them and looked forward to every little social event they had.
That's the weird part of Mafia, Among Us, and other games like this: you choose to play them as a social activity with a group of friends. You knowingly walk into a situation where someone, possibly you, has to deceive everyone else. And yet this game of suspicion and tension between everyone is meant to be enjoyable.
Gnosia manages to capture that in single-player format, while creating a story and universe you care about enough to really learn and understand. I know everyone's tells, but I also know what they like and dislike, what they struggle with and what they seek. Gnosia's both an impostor game and a visual novel, and the mix results in something else entirely new. Whether you enjoy new forms of storytelling or just want the friendly deception without the social anxiety, it's well worth experiencing.
Gnosia released Mar. 4 on Nintendo Switch. The game was reviewed on Nintendo Switch using a pre-release download code provided by Petit Depotto. Vox Media has affiliate partnerships.

Mars 2020
|This article is based on a Wikipedia article and is controlled by version 3.0 of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC-BY-SA).
Mars 2020 is a Mars rover mission by NASA's Mars Exploration Program which was launched on 2020, July 30th, and landed successfully on 2021, February 18th.
The Mars 2020 rover was named Perseverance was announced by NASA on 4 December 2012 at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco. The rover's design will be derived from the Curiosity rover, but will carry a different scientific payload. Nearly 60 proposals for rover instrumentation were evaluated and, on 31 July 2014, NASA announced the payload for the rover.
It includes a small coaxial helicopter Ingenuity, which successfully completed it mission in May 2021.
|C3-Launch energy
|Apr 2018 – May 2018
|7.7–11.1 km2/s2
|Jul 2020 – Sep 2020
|13.2 - 18.4 km2/s2
The rover is planned to be launched in 2020. based on scientific objectives set one year earlier. Precise mission details will be determined by the mission's Science Definition Team.
In May 2017, evidence of the earliest known life on land may have been found in 3.48-billion-year-old geyserite, a mineral deposit often found around hot springs and geysers, uncovered in the Pilbara Craton of Western Australia.
Proposed objectives
The mission is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program, and it is planned to explore Jezero Crater for a Martian year (1 sol = 687 Earth days).
On 9 July 2013, the Mars 2020 Science Definition Team reiterated that the rover should look for signs of past life, collect samples for possible future return to Earth, and demonstrate technology for future human exploration of Mars. The Science Definition Team proposed the rover collect and package as many as 31 samples of rock cores and soil for a later mission to bring back for more definitive analysis in laboratories on Earth, but in 2015 the concept was changed to collect even more samples and distribute the tubes in small piles across the surface of Mars. However, returning the samples to Earth would likely require two additional missions: one rover to land on Mars, take the samples collected by Mars 2020, and launch them into Mars orbit; and another to collect the sample canister in Mars orbit and return it to Earth. Neither of those missions is under development by NASA,
In September 2013 NASA launched an Announcement of Opportunity for researchers to propose and develop the instruments needed, including a core sample cache.
The rover can make measurements and technology demonstrations to help designers of a human expedition understand any hazards posed by Martian dust, and will test technology to produce oxygen (O2) from Martian atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).
As proposed, the rover will be based on the design of Curiosity. While there will be differences in scientific instruments and the engineering required to support them, the entire landing system (including the sky crane and heat shield) and rover chassis can essentially be recreated without any additional engineering or research. This reduces overall technical risk for the mission, while saving funds and time on development.
A Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator, left over as a backup part for Curiosity during its construction, will power the rover.
The rover mission and launch is estimated to cost about US$2.1 billion.
In October 2016, NASA reported using the Xombie rocket to test the Lander Vision System (LVS), as part of the Autonomous Descent and Ascent Powered-flight Testbed (ADAPT) experimental technologies, for the Mars 2020 mission landing.
Proposed scientific instruments
- Planetary Instrument for X-Ray Lithochemistry (PIXL), an x-ray fluorescence spectrometer to determine the fine scale elemental composition of Martian surface materials.
- Radar Imager for Mars' subsurface experiment (RIMFAX), a ground-penetrating radar to image dozens of meters beneath the rover.
- Mars Environmental Dynamic Analyzer (MEDA), a set of sensors that will provide measurements of temperature, wind speed and direction, pressure, relative humidity and dust size and shape. It would be provided by Spain's Centro de Astrobiología.
- The Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment (MOXIE) is an exploration technology investigation that will produce oxygen (O2) from Martian atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). This technology could be scaled up in the future for human life support or make rocket fuel for return missions.
- SuperCam, an instrument that can provide imaging, chemical composition analysis and mineralogy in rocks and regolith from a distance. It is similar to the ChemCam on the Curiosity rover but with four scientific instruments that will allow it to look for biosignatures.
- Mastcam-Z, a stereoscopic imaging system with the ability to zoom.
- Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman and Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals (SHERLOC), an ultraviolet Raman spectrometer that uses fine-scale imaging and an ultraviolet (UV) laser to determine fine-scale mineralogy and detect organic compounds.
- Mars Helicopter Scout (MHS) is a solar powered helicopter drone with a mass of 1kg that could help pinpoint interesting targets for study and plan the best driving route. It has coaxial rotors, a high resolution downward looking camera for navigation, landing, and science surveying of the terrain, and a communication system to relay data to the rover.
- Microphones will be used during the landing event, while driving, and when collecting samples.
Proposed landing sites
The following locations are the eight landing sites that were under consideration for Mars 2020 previous to the meeting in Pasedena, California Feb 2017.
- Columbia Hills, in Gusev Crater
- Eberswalde Crater
- Holden Crater
- Jezero Crater
- Mawrth Vallis
- Northeastern region of Syrtis Major Planum
- Nili Fossae
- Southwestern region of Melas Chasma
A workshop was held on 8–10 February 2017 in Pasadena, California, to discuss these sites, with the goal of narrowing down the list to 3-4 final sites for further consideration.
- Jezero Crater
- Northeastern region of w:Syrtis Major Planum
- Columbia Hills, in Gusev Crater, where the Spirit rover landed.
The Jezero Crater was eventually selected.
In reaction to the announcement, California U.S. Representative Adam Schiff came out in support of the Mars rover mission plans, saying that "an upgraded rover with additional instrumentation and capabilities is a logical next step that builds upon now proven landing and surface operations systems."
NASA's science chief John Grunsfeld responded that while it could be possible to launch in 2018, "it would be a push." Grunsfeld said a 2018 launch would require certain science investigations be excluded from the rover and that even the 2020 launch target would be "ambitious."
Space educator Bill Nye added his support for the planned mission saying, "We don't want to stop what we're doing on Mars because we're closer than ever to answering these questions: Was there life on Mars and stranger still, is there life there now in some extraordinary place that we haven't yet looked at? Mars was once very wet—it had oceans and lakes. Did life start on Mars and get flung into space and we are all descendants of Martian microbes? It's not crazy, and it's worth finding out. It's worth the cost of a cup of coffee per taxpayer every 10 years or 13 years to find out." Nye also endorsed a Mars sample-return role, saying "The amount of information you can get from a sample returned from Mars is believed to be extraordinarily fantastic and world-changing and worthy."
The selection has been criticized for NASA's constant attention to Mars, and neglecting other Solar System destinations in constrained budget times. Contrary to usual NASA practices, the mission was approved for flight before a Science Definition Team (SDT) had been formed to decide on the mission's purpose and goals.

A movie star owns much of Tribeca, and many movie stars live there in tastefully decorated lofts of immense grandeur and capaciousness. They live alongside successful artists who bought early and financiers who arrived late. Aesthetically, it's a well-off neighborhood. Financially, it's in even better shape: 10013 is the most expensive zip code in Manhattan. Poodles poop opal piles on platinum sidewalks. Mothers speak Locust Valley lockjaw, while their toddler sons and daughters, a cute platoon of Polarn O. Pyret-clad Rowans and Stellas, learn to suck teeth and speak Bajan. The neighborhood does not want for public spectacle.
This has been true ever since the overflow crowds spilled from Area at 157 Hudson and Jay McInerney flailed like a gunpowder marionette through Odeon. Although the club closed in 1987 and Mr. McInerney is now a dummy wine columnist, the taste for spectacle endures.
And now the curtain opens on American Cut, the new steakhouse by Marc "Forge" Forgione.
On a crisp quiet night in late October, two men smoke stogies on the patio in front of American Cut. Backlit by floodlights, they might be in their 30s, though it's hard to see through their smoke halos. They are laughing madly, like wolves over a carcass. They smell like power—cologne, smoke, whiskey. They move aside, and I push by, alone, walking quickly.
The double doors to the restaurant swing open in unison, or at least they should. (American Cut is not the kind of place one should enter through just one door.) We dolly into the restaurant, onto a swaggering Mad Men fantasy. A sonic rush: It's loud in every way. All the surfaces are hard and burnished. The zebrawood tables, the inlaid marble floors, the glass shelves with glass bottles, the big watches, swinging dicks, hard smiles, hard eyes, a $20 "plank smoked" old-fashioned made with Woodford Reserve served in a maple wood-smoked glass on a hardwood bar. Big ice cube. Amber liquid. Hot-boxed luxury. It's brash and Art Deco, but the effect is Max Beckmann.
The only thing soft is the flesh of the trio of hostesses. They're skinny and pretty like a bouquet of flowers. Flowers that say, "Can I take your coat?" Flowers that say, "Follow me." Flowers that say, "Leave your wife."
At American Cut, the tables are so large, the leather seats so deep and the din so loud diners contort their faces into masks of tragedy and comedy to get their points across with a conspicuous lack of subtlety. Perhaps they'd do the same in closer, quieter quarters, but here they have cover. No great steakhouse is subtle. Steakhouses are the silent movie stars of restaurants. Their gestures are grand and pantomimed. It is awesome to behold a restaurant in such lockstep with its patrons. It's actually kinda beautiful.
Even the slightest suggestion of nuance has been gutted. The menu is a succinct study of too much. Its divisions are unsurprising: raw, classic and hot appetizers and then a page of meat. Mr. Forgione has correctly surmised that surprise has no place here. One doesn't go to a steakhouse to be jolted but to be validated. The best a steakhouse can do, and this American Cut does, is to perfect the small canon of classics. By perfect, I suppose I mean both properly execute and make even more extravagantly bananas.
Take the Diamond Jim Brady oysters ($18). Oysters, the only yonic food in this phallic temple, are a steakhouse staple. American Cut's are named after the glutton robber baron Big Jim from Blood on the Tracks. DJB ate his oysters baked, as was the custom at the time, with crucolo, a soft cheese from Trentino, and Champagne, a sparkling wine from Champagne. For his version, Mr. Forgione covers six Olde Salt oysters in a black truffle bechamel sauce made with the cheese, adds a splash of Champagne and bakes them.
Diamond Jim, with a stomach six times the size of a normal man's, ate his oysters this way, because he alone could. Whether you wish to or not depends on whether you enjoy how oysters taste. If you do, don't. But if you like the idea of oysters, but really secretly don't like the taste, do. The flavor of the little bivalves is moot and muted. Their shells are just shovels, each bearing a cheesy, creamy payload.
The pattern is repeated, and, if a fault can be found at American Cut, it is this: the utter and aggressive disregard for the natural flavor and character of ingredients. This seems deeply at odds with current culinary trends. The oysters taste like cheese. The shrimp in the cocktail, chilled and stuffed into a neat little silver goblet, are so overwhelmed in Mr. Forgione's signature 22-Batch cocktail sauce that they too are demoted from being crustaceans with tiny shrimp souls to being rote messengers for horseradish. The chili lobster, a Forgione staple and luxe take on the Malaysian chili crab, looks like it has lobster in it—and it does indeed contain an entire lobster—but the spicy broth totally overpowers the meat. Still, the dish is delicious, especially when chased with a thick buttery slab of Texas toast, which doubles as a sponge.
Even I can see what lunacy it is to critique a king for ruling by fiat or a steakhouse for its aggression. American Cut is not the place for active listening and deliberative democracy. It's opéra bouffe. It's opéra beouf. It's a show, and Marc Forgione is a master of the genre.
He opened the original American Cut at the Atlantic City casino Revel. Restaurants at casinos are meant to provide succor to suckers or to court big whales. Either way, it takes a show to distract them from their losses. Here, in Tribeca, the room is full of winners, but Mr. Forgione still unerringly manhandles his meat to maximum effect.
Take, for instance, his NYC Cut ($44), 20 ounces of Creekstone steak, brined, coated in pastrami spice, grilled and topped with caraway seed butter. The result is a half-steak, half-pastrami beast you half expect a surly Katz employee to come in and claim. It's a lot. Too much, in fact. But it's perfect. A lesser chef might have felt compunction to treat a former cow this way, but Mr. Forgione forges forward headlong. Crazy as it seems, it all works out. Of abnormal juiciness, extreme tenderness and superb flavor, the NYC Cut is one of the best steaks I've ever eaten.
I'd be slightly less enthusiastic about the restaurant if this was the extent of Mr. Forgione's talent, but, when he wants to, he can also scale back. A 14-ounce dry-aged New York strip ($42) is served nearly au natural. Mopped with dry-aged fat and crusted, it's the product of great facility at the grill station. Of course, for those to whom this seems too ascetic, the steak—like all the steaks on the menu—can be doused in one of six sauces and topped with an increasingly insane array of condiments, which start at an egg ($3), cycles through bone marrow ($8) and foie gras ($18) and chili lobster ($27) and ends with shaved white truffle ($99).
I don't think adding any of these materially improves the steak, and I wager neither does Mr. Forgione, but he knows his powerful patrons like to make up their own minds.
Mr. Forgione's most brilliant gesture at American Cut isn't the meat at all but a single carrot. The carrot, technically the "carrot glazed carrot," is but one long carrot, covered in honey mint carrot reduction. It arrives on a single plate like a giant orange priapus and costs $10. It must be an insult, but if it's a "fuck you," the diners don't seem to mind getting rogered. In fact, they rather enjoy it.
Perhaps it's animist or what Keynes called "animal spirits" that draws them to the orange pego. The Tupi tribe of Brazil, after all, used to eat their vanquished foes in the belief they would gain their strength. If this is true, a 9-inch $10 carrot-cock is nothing if not bargain-basement manhood. If it's a sly commentary on his patrons' need to constantly reinforce their masculinity through reckless consumption, it's a brilliant joke. But if it's just a carrot, it's one terrific carrot, and that's enough.
