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

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.

How to TikTok your way to a prize at the Cannes Film Festival
Eric Randolph and Julie Pacorel (AFP) Cannes, France ● Sun, May 22, 2022 2022-05-22 19:04 0 02c2f042c5018a82e8094ec752a1072e 2 Entertainment cannes,France,film-festival,movies,TikTok,video Free You no longer need millions of dollars and a distribution deal to win prizes at the Cannes Film Festival -- just a mobile phone and a bit of ingenuity will do. Turning 75 this year, the world's leading film gathering knew it needed a shot of youth and made TikTok an official sponsor. That has brought some of the video platform's biggest stars to the French Riviera -- including Italian-Senegalese sensation Khaby Lame and his 139 million followers -- inevitably breaking the festival's usual taboo against selfies on the red carpet. TikTok has also sponsored a short film competition, with prizes awarded by a jury of film professionals, as well as Lame. "You might think that three minutes is short, but we really tried to judge them just as we would a film of 120 … [Read more...] about How to TikTok your way to a prize at the Cannes Film Festival
The New Virtual Economy Of The Metaverse
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Michel Kilzi is a serial entrepreneur, data intelligence expert with a vision to redefine the role of data as an asset. If there’s one thing that’s the talk of the town today, it’s the metaverse. A blend of virtual reality, augmented reality, sensorial tech and spatial computing, the metaverse promises to give us new experiences from our couches or cubicles. But the metaverse is not just some gaming space, sci-fi dream come true. Nor is it limited to tech companies—it is an entirely new economy. Even traditional firms, including restaurants like McDonald's and retailers like Nike , are preparing for the metaverse to become a space where you’ll be able to go shopping, play games, meet friends, attend concerts, work and generally build a virtual life. Since the metaverse is still in its infancy, there is no clear path to profitability for most businesses; everyone is scrambling to strike gold first. As we … [Read more...] about The New Virtual Economy Of The Metaverse
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
