Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Since our kids have grown up, I admittedly don’t take a lot of video anymore. Mostly because my wife and I can be only so entertaining on camera by ourselves. So any video I capture these days is an on-the-spot thought and through the lens of my smartphone. The quality is acceptable but really flat. Yet there are always things I see that I want to capture. And for the past few years – instead of photographing something directly – I’ve often taken video instead and then gone through frame-by-frame to pick the best image to use as a photo. But the quality is often degraded, when I do that. Not anymore. I’ve gotten hold of the GoPro HERO10 Black Creator Edition – billed as an all-in-one content capturing powerhouse that makes vlogging, filmmaking and live streaming easier than ever. This system features pro-quality 5.3K video, Emmy award-winning HyperSmooth 4.0 video stabilization, enhanced audio, LED lighting and four hours … [Read more...] about GoPro HERO 10 Is A Sleek Modern-Day Handycam

Biden says ‘hello’ to N.Korea’s Kim amid tensions over weapons tests
US President Joe Biden (Reuters filepix by Evelyn Hockstein) - A + A SEOUL (May 22): US President Joe Biden, in Seoul before heading to Japan as part of his first Asia trip as president, had a simple message for North Korea's Kim Jong Un: "Hello... period," he told reporters on the last day of his visit to South Korea on Sunday. Biden said he was "not concerned" about new North Korean nuclear tests, which would be the first in nearly five years. But his wry response when asked what message he had for Kim underscored the administration's low-key approach to the unresolved tensions with North Korea. It is a stark contrast with former President Donald Trump's showy threats, summits, and "love letters" with Kim. Neither president's approach has led to a major breakthrough, however, and North Korea has resumed testing its largest intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), while intelligence reports suggest it is preparing for a new nuclear test. “We are … [Read more...] about Biden says ‘hello’ to N.Korea’s Kim amid tensions over weapons tests
Imported food prices surge and may continue rising
An employee displays imported meat packs at a mart at Eungam-dong, northern Seoul, in December. [NEWS1] Imported food prices are soaring as China locks down, the Ukraine-Russia conflict drags on and the United States deals with labor shortages. Beef imported from the United States or Australia is considered a cheaper alternative to hanwoo , or Korean beef, which is almost twice the price of Australian beef at discount marts. But experts forecast the gap between the local and imported meat prices will be much narrower if the current trend continues. China's lockdown of Shanghai has strained global supply chains, while the United States, a major meat exporter, is struggling with labor shortages at livestock farms. U.S. beef ribs retailed at 3,765 won ($3.1) per 100 grams Wednesday, up 53 percent from the previous year's average of 2,454 won, according to the Korea Agricultural Marketing Information Service run by Korea Agro-Fisheries and Food Trade Corporation.

In Slauson & Co., Google Investor Ron Conway Is Betting On More Than Money
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A couple of years ago, two old friends found themselves both in an unusual position: They were venture capitalists of color in a business that is dominated by white people. In 2021, Austin Clements and Ajay Relan formed their own firm, Slauson & Co., named for the famous thoroughfare in south L.A. It’s one of the highest-profile of many recently formed firms, initiatives and funds – many started in the wake of George Floyd’s murder — that aim to diversify entrepreneurship. The premise is that diverse venture capitalists will fund more diverse founders, who in turn, as they succeed, will create jobs and wealth in diverse communities. It’s a questionable premise in its ambition. Only a tiny fraction of startups in the United States, about 1%, receive venture capital. Even fewer succeed. And VC-backed winners tend to employ relatively few people, because part of the profitability they need to scale depends on keeping … [Read more...] about In Slauson & Co., Google Investor Ron Conway Is Betting On More Than Money
Nan proves villages have the answers
Villagers in Nan province create a mini-dam as part of a reforestation project. In the past decade, 13 northern provinces have suffered a deforestation crisis that has destroyed at least 8.6 million rai of land. Pattarapong Chatpattarasill For those in the provinces, having greater say in the key issues of local administration remains a distant dream. For instance, they cannot vote for their governors, as is done in Bangkok. However, a small tambon in the northern province of Nan has shown the way towards a different kind of self-rule. Nan's system of partial self-rule was established about 15 years ago by a group of well-respected residents of tambon Namkian in Nan's Phu Piang district. There, villagers have been able to tackle several tough issues like narcotics, gambling and deforestation, all the while allowing state authorities to focus on similar problems elsewhere. Spearheading the self-ruled system was Sarit Surit, a key figure of the so-called "42 Warriors" -- a group … [Read more...] about Nan proves villages have the answers
Joe Biden tendng to business in South Korea visit with Hyundai exec
SEOUL, South Korea — President Joe Biden is tending to both business and security interests Sunday as he wraps up a three-day visit to South Korea, showcasing Hyundai’s pledge to build a $5.5 billion electric vehicle and battery factory in Georgia and visiting U.S. and South Korean troops monitoring the rapidly evolving North Korean nuclear threat. The major U.S. investment by a South Korean company, which was formally unveiled in Georgia on Friday, is a reflection of how the U.S. and South Korea are leveraging their longstanding military ties into a broader economic partnership. The U.S. president has made greater economic cooperation with South Korea a priority, saying on Saturday that “it will bring our two countries even closer together, cooperating even more closely than we already do, and help strengthen our supply chains, secure them against shocks and give our economies a competitive edge.” The pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February has forced a deeper … [Read more...] about Joe Biden tendng to business in South Korea visit with Hyundai exec
Jeepney strike: Schools, gov’t offices closed
2-DAY STRIKE Jeepney drivers are starting a two-day transport strike starting today to oppose the government’s modernization plan for public utility vehicles. —MARIANNE BERMUDEZ Suspending work and classes nationwide today, Monday, shows that Malacañang “is nervous” about the two-day transport strike protesting a program phasing out jeepneys at least 15 years old, the leader of the mass action said on Sunday. Already, the Land Registration Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) said the mass action could be part of destabilization efforts. “We are receiving reports that the transport strike tomorrow led by Piston (Pinagkaisang Samahan ng Tsuper and Operator Nationwide) will be supported by other left-leaning groups. Allegedly, the plot is to destabilize the government,” an LTFRB board member, Aileen Lizada, said on the eve of the strike. Piston claims 200,000 members nationwide.

Sorry, China. Most Americans Support Higher Prices On Your Imports.
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin An overwhelming number of U.S. registered voters say they support higher tariffs on goods imported from China. According to a poll released this week by Morning Consult, 73% of survey respondents said they support the U.S. government using trade remedies on China to protect U.S. industries and American workers with a similar high number — 71% — supporting the trade war tariffs imposed on $250 billion worth of China imports during the Trump administration. Even with inflation at levels not seen since the 1970s, American voters seem willing to force companies to import from elsewhere or make it locally instead. “I am not surprised by these numbers,” says Harsh Khurana, CEO of WeCultivate, a tech company funded in part by Mark Cuban , that works as a browser extension on Amazon AMZN to show consumers American-made products. “Tariffs hurt the American consumer more than they hurt China's manufacturing because the … [Read more...] about Sorry, China.
