Patek Philippe Ref. 5230 World Time

Patek Philippe has been producing some of the world’s most coveted world time watches for nearly 80 years. This year, the brand is retiring all existing references in its so-called Heure Universelle collection and launching a new, upgraded model in their place: the Patek Philippe Ref. 5230 World Time, available in white-gold (Ref. 5230G-001) or rose-gold (Ref. 5230R-001):

Patek Philippe’s decision to introduce a new world-timer was motivated by, primarily, political and cultural changes worldwide that have necessitated updates to the original timepiece’s 24-hour city ring. Dubai, for example, has replaced Riyadh as the internationally recognized representative city of its time zone, and Moscow, which for many years had been located in the “UTC+4” zone, recently shifted to “UTC+3,” nearer to Western Europe, as its chosen time zone. The new Ref. 5230, available in both 18k white gold and 5N rose gold cases, now has a “globally valid” world-time city ring that accurately reflects the modern state of time zones across the world.

Patek Philippe also took the opportunity to do some subtle but significant reworking on the World Time watch’s case, dial, and hands. Ref. 5230 retains the iconic Patek Philippe Calatrava case (measuring 38.5 mm in diameter and 10.23 mm thick), but with new winglet-style lugs and a more narrow, smoothly polished bezel. The hands will be more noticeably different to a Patek aficionado: instead of the ringed hour hand and Dauphine minute hand on previous references, the watch has a pierced hour hand in the shape of the Southern Cross constellation and a lozenge-shaped minute hand, both with sharp center ridges between lapped, beveled flanks. The hands, and the applied baton hour markers, are crafted from the same gold as the case.

At the center of the dial is another decorative element new to Patek Philippe’s World Time watches. Whereas previous models were renowned for their polychrome cloisonné enamel world map motifs, Ref. 5230 features a black, hand-guillochéd, filigreed basket-weave pattern inspired by a historical pocketwatch on display at the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva. The dial pattern was created on a nearly 100-year-old, meticulously maintained rose engine at the Patek Philippe manufacture.

The Patek Philippe World Time Ref. 5230 remains an ideal timepiece ( as ECO DRIVE CHRONOGRAPH ) for international travelers, who can use it to keep track of all 24 time zones at a glance. The local time, denoted by the central hour and minute hands, lines up with the time zone of the city aligned with the small red arrow above 12 o’clock. Pressing the pusher at 10 o’clock rotates the city disk and the 24-hour ring (divided into black and white segments representing daytime and nighttime as well as a sun and moon) counterclockwise and the hour hand in one-hour increments. During this process, the time-zone mechanism is uncoupled from the movement so that the accurate progression of the minute hand and the amplitude of the balance remain unaffected and the time, in all time zones, is precisely displayed.

The movement, visible through a clear sapphire caseback, is Patek Philippe’s in-house Caliber 240 HU. It is only 3.88 mm thick, thanks in large part to its patented micro-rotor design, which enables the watchmakers to greatly reduce the size of the winding rotor — made of 22k gold and engraved with Patek’s Calatrava Cross emblem — and integrate it at the level of the bridges. The movement includes the patented Spiromax® balance spring and amasses a power reserve of at least 48 hours. With a tolerance of -3 to +2 seconds per day, its rate accuracy exceeds all customary chronometer standards. The movement’s haute horlogerie finishes all meet the stringent standards of the brand’s in-house certification, the Patek Philippe Seal. The bridges are chamfered and decorated with Geneva strips, a motif that also appears on the microrotor. The mainplate is hand-decorated with perlage, and the golden brass wheels are countersunk and have chamfered spokes. The rhodiumed bridges have gold-filled movement engravings and the movement’s total 239 parts include 35 ruby jewels, 10 of which are on display from the back.

Both versions of the Ref. 5230 World Time come on hand-stitched alligator leather straps (black for the white-gold watch, chocolate brown for the rose-gold) with case-matching Calatrava fold-over clasps.

For the ladies, Patek Philippe offers the Ref. 7130 World Time watch (Ref. 7130G-014in white-gold, Ref. 7130R-011 in rose-gold) — which, like the men’s version, indicates all 24 current world time zones — in a rose- or white-gold case set with diamonds and boasting a dial with a hand-guilloched center. The sparkling diamonds highlight the city disk, and the alligator strap, in peacock blue or brown with a sleek, shiny finish, completes the colorful package.

RECONYX ULTRAFIRE XR6

Why Reconyx?

If you appreciate American engineering and manufacturing as much as we do, the XR6 delivers unmatched reliability, incredible video quality, an internal picture/video viewer, and easy programming. In today's news cycle, everyone is complaining about the lack of American-made products. Well, here is your chance to buy one of the top-rated video trail cameras on the market and a product that is proudly made in the U.S.A.

Pros

• Best video quality on the market
• Excellent daytime pictures
• Incredible resting current draw (battery life)

Cons

• Slow trigger speed
• Batteries can be tricky to load

Trailcampro Analysis 

Reconyx trail cameras (like MOULTRIE PANORAMIC 150I ) have been the gold standard for the trail camera industry for more than 10 years now. Reconyx manufactures their cameras on American soil and produce the quickest and most reliable cameras on the market.

How durable have Reconyx cameras been? We still have an old Reconyx RM45 on a farm in Northern Missouri that has been there over 10 years. It is still as fast and reliable as the day we unwrapped it.

Through the years, Reconyx has produced the Rapidfire Series, the Hyperfire Series and now, the long awaited Ultrafire Series. In the past, the only features Reconyx has lacked are the abilities to take videos and/or have an internal viewer. The new Reconyx XR6 can check both those items off the list. The XR6 is designed to hang its hat on the video quality. Billed as the best in the business, you can bet we were eager to find out if it was going to live up to the hype.

Daytime pictures offer robust color, excellent clarity, and beautiful depth. We did have a few daytime pictures that had slight blur, but nothing out of the ordinary.

The XR6 is a no glow trail camera (no visible light emitted while taking a photo at night) and this usually means a sacrifice in nighttime photos. We can't really say that is the case here. The pictures are clear, offer good contrast and lack the "white noise" that you find in many other no glow trail cameras.

The flash range is pretty shallow and hovers around 50 ft., depending on ambient lighting (moon phase, street lights, etc.

The resting current draw is ridiculous.  0.18 mW is almost nothing at all.  At the time of this writing, 0.18 mW is 4X better than the next closest camera.  The day and night draws are both high, but the resting power makes the battery life incredible.

Our star rating in this category is misleading.  We judge the cameras on resting power, daytime power consumption, and nighttime power consumption.  This camera is an anomaly because the resting power is so incredibly low, that it overcomes the other two categories.  In fact, the resting power is so low that if this camera were to take 35-day pictures and 35-night pictures every 24 hours, this camera could last 11.9 months in the field (with lithiums).The camera operates on 12 AA batteries and it is recommended you use either NiMH rechargeable or lithium batteries only.  No alkaline batteries.

The battery compartment stacks the batteries in there pretty tight and they can be tough to load.  Be sure to look at which battery post is positive and which is negative before loading as they are easy to confuse.

ECOXGEAR EcoCharge+ waterproof rechargeable powerbank and flashlight review

Nowadays, having a portable charger, or power bank, for your cell phone is not only a necessity but it also has to stand up to every day use and abuse. It won’t do you any good if your charger breaks from being dropped or if it gets damaged from water or moisture exposure. This is where the EcoCharge+ from ECOXGEAR stands out from many ordinary power Banks.

The EcoCharge+ is a power bank with a rechargeable 3200mAh 3.1volt lithium battery and is designed to be charged around 500 times. It is meant to charge many devices from smart phones to GPS units to action cameras and even bigger devices such as tablets or iPads.The dimensions for it are 1.2″in x 1.3″in x 4.9″in and weighs in at only 4.8 ounces. It is covered with a rubber coating which makes the EcoCharge+ shock resistant and waterproof with an IP67 rating. The rubber coating is beneficial if you ever drop the EcoCharge+ on your floor in your house or even dropped it, let’s say, on a wet, rocky surface if you ever brought it with you fishing, hiking or camping. It’s nice to know that if it gets knocked around that it is safe. So, if you carry it in your backpack, duffle bag, or purse, you know it will be fine if it gets tossed around.

Although it is waterproof, you have to make sure that the cap to the USB ports is twisted on tightly to ensure that it is sealed. If it’s not closed properly then it is not waterproof. And a side note, you must twist the cap to take it off and not pull it off.

Included on this powerbank is a 150 Lumen flashlight, which makes sense because the EcoCharge+ is closely shaped like a small portable flashlight (like: SUNJACK LIGHTSTICK ). There are four settings to the flashlight as you click the Light Bulb icon button on the side of the EcoCharge+. The first click is the Low setting, second click is High, third click is Flash, and a fourth click is an S.O.S strobe.

And speaking of buttons, the buttons on the EcoCharge+ are difficult to see. This is due to the extreme black-colored rubber coating which almost camouflage the buttons. I always had to spin the EcoCharge+ around just to find the buttons because I could never tell where the buttons were the first time around. So, if you were caught in the dark and had to use the EcoCharge+ as a flashlight, you would have a very difficult and tedious time locating the LightBulb Power button to turn the flashlight on.

But, on a positive side, you can get 32 hours of use on the Low setting and 8 hours on the High setting.

When using the power bank portion of the EcoCharge+ you can monitor the percentage of power remaining from the for LED lights below the Light Bulb and Power buttons. Four lights for a Full charge, three lights for 75%, two lights for 50% and one light for 25% power remaining. The USB charging ports are 5 volts 1.0A for both input and output. However, I would have liked to have seen the output to be the stronger 2.01A for more charging power. Although the EcoCharge+ comes included with a USB cable (appx. 1 foot), there is no adapter plug to go with it. So, if you don’t have an adapter, you’ll just have to settle on charging it by plugging into a computer or laptop. However, many phone chargers have adapter plugs nowadays, so you may be able to use your phone’s adapter plug with the USB cable from the EcoCharge+. Just check the phone’s manual first just to be sure.

It takes about 3 hours to fully charge the EcoCharge+. And on a side note, after the EcoCharge+ was completely empty of all the charging power, the flashlight was still able to turn on.

Keep in mind that when you use the EchoCharge+ to charge your device, you need to press the Power button to initiate charging. Unlike the other powerbanks that I use, simply plugging the USB cable into your device isn’t enough. With my other powerbanks you just plug in the USB cable and charging starts. Not with the EcoCharge+, you will need to turn it on manually. Several times I had forgotten to turn it on and 10 minutes later I was wondering why my phone’s battery charge hadn’t increased. Apparently, I just forgot to press the Power button on the EcoCharge+.

All in all, the EcoCharge+ from ECOXGEAR is a great handy little portable charger, or power bank if you will, that has a few features that many other common chargers don’t have. I think the multi-mode flashlight, the waterproofing, and the shockproofing would make this a handy addition for your everyday carry items and it’s ideal for taking with you when you go camping, fishing, hiking, and any other activities you can think of. And of course, it’s for perfect for anyone who needs a little extra emergency power for their devices with few extra features included.

What is the Quietest Portable Generator on the Market?

Last Updated: May 15th 2017 One of the worst things that can happen has happened! The power is no longer working and you do not know why. You check your neighbors’ homes to see if their electricity is working, you find that they do not have any power either. Well, what do you do? You go and get a generator. What’s more, you probably want to buy a really quiet generator ( for example: GOAL ZERO YETI 400 ) Preferably the quietest portable generator on the market.

Purchasing a quiet portable generator is not as easy as it might sound. Most generators operate anywhere from a range of forty-seven decibels to seventy-six decibels. Now, those numbers do not mean that a lot of forty-seven-decibel generators cannot sound louder than some of the seventy-six-decibel generators because they often do. It all depends on the mechanics of the generator and the environment or atmosphere that it is used in. In the following comprehensive buying guide we will explain everything you need to know before buying the best quiet generator. We will also show you the quietest portable generators on the market and briefly review each of them.
Why Should You Buy the Quietest Portable Generator?

You might be inclined to purchase a quiet portable generator because the noise it emits is imperative to you. There are other factors that may be important to you as well, like the portability of the unit, environmental friendliness and fuel efficiency of the unit and the cost per watt produced of the unit also. The generator that is the quietest is an inverter generator. Inverters are a quiet generator, but are not a generator that is completely silent. All generators emit some noise, so total silence is non-existent, unless you are taking solar powered generators into account.

You may ask the question about why you should purchase the quietest portable generator on the market. There are a number of reasons why you should strive to purchase the quietest portable generator on the market. Reason number one would be that you would not want a generator that will let others know exactly where you are located. If you do not feel like being targeted by any individuals that wish to know where you are for any reason, you should buy a silent generator.

The next reason is that your HOA or city may have an ordinance for the noise limit that a piece of equipment or anything can emit on your property. As a general rule the limit is 75 decibels. Anything above that level may get you a warning or a fine. Prolonged noise a level higher than 75 decibels can generate physical discomfort for individuals. That is why you have to take the time to research quiet portable generators to ensure that you select the right one. Along with the previous reason to choose silent generators is the noise can be annoying and also it can disturb your neighbors.

Now, if you are not in close proximity to your neighbors, then you might not have those restraints. It may be about keeping your home comfortable so that you can rest at night. If you are in need of generator that will run at night, a noisy generator can make sleeping very difficult. If you chose silent generators that are in the range of 50 decibels, depending on its location, you may not be able to here it.

Camping is another reason to desire a small quiet generator. A small quiet generator for camping can provide the anonymity and the peace and quiet you desire while camping. There are a lot of large generators on the market; however, they are not easy to carry to a camping site that can be a long way off. You might also want to consider the amount of noise that it will generate. Another factor is the fuel efficiency of the generator. If it consumes a lot of fuel, you may want to consider another unit because you will waste precious energy packing a lot of additional gas.

While attempting to camp, another reason for quiet portable generator is it will end the fun times very quickly. Nothing takes the fun out a camping trip more than having to yell to be heard. Also a loud generator is just simply rude. People go camping to get away from the noise and everything and enjoy nature.

How and Where to Write About Technology in Your Business Plan

Often, a business plan introduces a new technology that requires some explaining.

On one hand, as a reader of business plans for investors, I see way too many business plans that ask a reader to wade neck-deep through technology to get to the business. That’s a great way make your reader run in the other direction! It’s a business plan, not a term paper or thesis. Establish technology as a differentiator, when it is. Tell me about it in relation to its importance to the business. Don’t force me to understand it when I don’t need to.

On the other hand, as a writer, manager, and user of business plans as tools for steering a business, I believe you should discuss your technology in the plan for any business. Even if technology isn’t the driving force of your business or your main differentiator, these days, almost all businesses have to manage technology as part of branding, marketing, and communications.

To the extent that technology matters, I want to see it in the priorities and in specific milestones. Are we developing what we should? Are we using what we should? Are we competitive with tools and process?
