Five Things You Need to See From Macworld

 

The Consumer Electronics Show - CES affectionately called - is not the only major trade show every year. In fact, far from it. For Apple fans, the highlight of the year is March Macworld in San Francisco, and I watched the show last week to see what was new, especially for iOS users. You know, for iPhones and iPads. Here are the coolest things I came across:

5. Ring. Here's a gadget that I recently included in our round-up of favorite Kickstarter campaigns. Ring is a piece of jewelry with wireless connection you can use to control all kinds of devices and technology around your home using hand gestures. It sounds like science fiction, but I've seen it demonstrated (even in prototype form) at the show.

 

4. HandyPhoto. Photo editing apps for the iPhone and iPad are a dime a dozen. Unless, I suppose, if you consider that many of them are free. But HandyPhoto surprised me. Here is a photo editor that has a wealth of professional caliber editing and retouching tools, including some impressive features clever editing. I love the ability to select an object and move it to the scene (or transplantation to another image). You also "uncrop" a photo can - to extend the background magic as you can do in previous editions of Photoshop. It is $ 3, and worth every penny.

3. appetites. Speaking of iPad applications, appetites is a great mash-up of an application recipe and traditional meal delivery service. Imagine having a digital cookbook on your tablet, but with the ability to select a specific recipe and the ingredients arrive at your door the next day - it's appetites. The application is very cool, with a focus on the videos to explain step by step how to prepare each meal in detail. And the delivery service is currently operational in some selected cities (such as San Francisco and Los Angeles). The application is free, giving you access to a limited number of revenue each month. For unlimited access, you can pay a small subscription (about $ 2 / month).

2. Olloclip 4-in-1 Ipad. You've already seen a 4-in-1 for iPhone, and actually I include it in our video ROUNDUP tab holiday gadget. Olloclip returned after the adapter to fit the IPad. Olloclip told me that they decided to do so because IPADS used simply as more and more cameras. After all, tourists have noticed that you keep IPad into the air to take a picture - or maybe you did it alone. Using Ipad, the camera seems a bit ridiculous, and it can be ignored, especially if you are blocking sight of someone else, then I ask you to use common sense and a bit of the Court to take pictures with the tablet. But if you, at least do it with the help of Ollocip stunning 4-in-1, giving you two lenses macro, wide angle and fisheye lens in a compact body. Will be available in April for $ 70.

 

1. FLIR ONE. My favorite show was FLIR camera ONE, a case of manga for the iPhone with integrated thermal camera. This makes your iPhone a powerful infrared imager, which you can use to see in total darkness. The heat sources can see through walls, be used for personal safety, and more. I played with him on the show, and took this image of the company representative. It will be available later this year for about $ 350.

Asia Unites Against Poaching

Representatives from 13 Asian countries committed to immediate action to stamp out poaching at the conclusion of a four-day symposium hosted by the Nepal government in Kathmandu from February 2-6, 2015.

The Symposium: Towards Zero Poaching in Asia adopted five recommendations:

• Swift and decisive action to elevate the importance and effectiveness of antipoaching initiatives and cooperation among all relevant ministries, departments and agencies within their borders, while at the same time strengthening international cooperation in the face of this serious criminal activity.
• Adoption of the Zero Poaching Tool Kit and assessment of current antipoaching responses to determine improvements and close serious gaps.
• Increase and improve collaboration as a successful antipoaching response is critically dependant on effectively engaging a diverse number of shareholders
• Improve standards, training and support for rangers, other frontline staff and prosecutors.
• Commit to identifying a Zero Poaching national contact point to effectively coordinate transboundary efforts to stop poaching.

Tika Ram Adhikari, Director General of Nepal’s Department of Wildlife Conservation and Soil Conservation, said: “Nepal was proud to host this vital conversation in Asia because we recognize that poaching is robbing us of our wildlife wealth, which includes tigers, rhinos and elephants. We cannot allow wildlife crime to continue to wrap its tentacles deeper into the region. Our individual efforts may win us a few battles, but we can only win the war if Asia presents a united front to stop the poaching, end the trafficking and wipe out demand.”

Mike Baltzer, Leader, WWF Tigers Alive Initiative, said: “This is the beginning of the end for poaching across Asia. WWF is proud to have supported this landmark meeting and is committed to be part of the new determined movement for Zero Poaching in Asia.”

Nepal was the natural host for the symposium having achieved zero poaching for two years in the past four years. At the symposium, representatives from local communities, protected areas as well as enforcement agencies shared their lessons lea

At the closing ceremony, Nepal’s legendary Chitwan National Park (CNP) also became the first global site to be accredited as Conservation Assured Tiger Standard (CA|TS).Despite the threats that CNP faces, the protected area has seen an increasingly effective management and protection regime. This further demonstrates the commitment of Nepal towards zero poaching.

Thirteen Asian countries participated in the symposium: Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Russia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Lao PDR. Partner NGOs and other organisations included IUCN, TRAFFIC, CITES, UN Office on Drugs and Crime, US Department of Justice, SMART Partnership and Southern African Wildlife College.

WWF co-hosted the symposium with Global Tiger Forum, National Trust for Nature Conservation and the South Asian Wildlife Enforcement Network.

The symposium provides valuable direction on tackling poaching in advance of the Kasane Conference on the Illegal Wildlife Trade to be hosted by the Botswana government on 25th March 2015. This meeting follows the London Conference on the Illegal Wildlife Trade hosted by the UK government in February 2014, where 41 governments committed to taking “decisive and urgent action….” through the agreed declaration.
