They are every one welcome to check it out this is episode number 90 I'm your host Mark Saltzman I'm a journalist on their t.v. Host and public speaker. In the tech space and my goal across all mediums including radio is to break down geek speak into street speak so even if you're more tech shy than tech savvy this show is for you tech it out is brought to you by creating technology for today and tomorrow Smart life for those in search of incredible visit dot com for more info that's a.s.u.s. Dot com We have a great show planned for you this hour we're going to learn about a new fitness desk to help you stay fit while you sit all day your computer like I do we'll also learn about a new kind of fidget spitter you know what the kids play with all day these days but there's built in games when you pair it with an app on your smartphone what will they think of next and we'll talk with t.p. Lake about a new kind of wife in the home that's all coming up this hour on tech it out and more but 1st let's face facts here when it comes to smartphones there's a lot of choice out there you need to choose the brand that you like the size of the phone operating system a price point that makes sense to you of course and so on and so forth and now one of the biggest consumer electronics companies l.g. Has unveiled its new and eagerly anticipated smartphone the l.g. The 30 to tell us all about it and what all the hype is about Shelly wall is joining us on the line Shelly is senior brand manager at l.g. Electronics Welcome to the show Shelley Hi Thanks for having me pleasure so I know you're busy this time of year especially with multiple products under your belt but let's talk specifically this time around about the 30 the l.g. The 30 smartphone what makes this phone special. With the design of the 30 we really want to focus in on everything. Nearly one on. This phone pack then all the way to teachers and the camera technology this. Technology and more we've been able to give consumers a large 6 inch screen within a body that still comfortably fits within your hand and that screen borrowing from our home or Tronics business is an own led screen so with the leading edge best in class green that gives you brilliant colors in contrast like never before something else about this design of the device that consumers will love is the dual camera which we've had historically in a large number of devices but we've improved continuously the design of that camera the latest device comes with an after of f. 1.6 So for consumers that means they're able to get the most light in their shots which means that better low light toggery we've also included great in hand since as it relates to video production we know consumers are creating more and more video content on their own and more of this is being done on the go with a smartphone so we wanted to give consumers a tools to be a mini director without having to have the skill sets or the the fancy equipment to do so l g v 30 packs in features likes in a video mode which gives consumers not only a 10 bit h e r sensor but also 15 color grading precepts that are able to give you the types of effects that Hollywood movies producers use that is also news doing technology that allows you to not just doom to the center of it in your frame of view but to any point on your screen which gives a very Hollywood esque effect when you're trying to do into a subject. The the other things that this device includes are the great 18 by 9 aspect ratio this is something that was introduced on the l.g. G 6 and we've continued to expand this display allows you to have more screens than ever before we're also getting more and more optimized content the take advantage of the the new ratio. It's also great for multitasking allowing you to easily split the screen to apps that one and we've got to hold the speakers in Our Square camera mode that all the use of. I was going to ask you about some of the applications of having this taller screen so 1st of all just going back to the screen in a moment we'll talk more about the cameras in a minute but so 6 inches sounds big but it's not a big phone and that's because there's very little bezel around the screen it's almost all screen on the front correct that's correct and then the aspect ratio 18 by 9 so that means it's a much taller screen so it fits comfortably in your hand you mentioned one application so you can multitask so you're suggesting Shelly and our guess is Shelly wall the senior brand manager at l.g. Electronics that you could put for example you can snap a video on the top half of your smartphone while on the bottom half you may be browsing the web or vice versa. Exactly we know that consumers are constantly trying to use multiple apps at once and switching between them is sometimes tricky when you're trying to g.p.s. Let's say and you get a phone call and the split screen allows you to do both of those things easily so whether you're trying to watch a piece of video content we all know what it's like to try to watch a piece to you to content a call comes in and you lose it this allows you to kind of keep both going obviously you can't listen to You Tube and be on a call at the same time but let's say you're browsing the Internet whatever it may be there's no need to put someone on hold and tall go between you can do it do it seamlessly and speaking of browsing the internet when you have a an 18 by 9 aspect ratio scream and a big 6 inch display you can see more content without having to scroll through it I mean you're not going to be swiping so much because you're going to get a lot of content at any one time when the website is full screen on the device we're not talking multitasking so it's better for the user to not have to scroll so much in between websites right yeah exactly so there's lots of opportunities to take advantage of that definitely scrolling up like Facebook and Instagram take advantage of that and any web site that you go on as well very able to just see more with that the need to scroll and what was the 3rd application for the 80 by 9 aspect ratio you mentioned something about square photos can you elaborate Yeah so square camera mode has the number of different features that it's able to unlock the 1st is actually being able to take a photo while preventing your last one so as opposed to the top like ogling into your gallery to see the last photo to see if you want to take a retake you can easily just see what you just took so you can see snap as many as you want and very quickly toggle between and see if you've got the perfect shot the other thing that it lets you to do which is similar to the g 6 and we've also included it on the Q 6 is the ability to take a photo. The front and back at the same time feature is an interesting. Social when you're trying to highlight yourself in a moment but you also want to capture that for the moment at the same time because they've got the 18 by 9 re show it actually split that into 2 perfect squares I got it Ok Very cool All right so let's talk a bit more about the cameras can the l.g. V 30 shoot 4 k. Video which would be best to view on these new T.V.'s today it can shoot in 4 k. It also has tended h.d.r. Sensor which is going to give you much more richness in the colors that you're able to capture with the camera as well right h.d.r. Is an acronym for high dynamic range it results in better contrast color and brightness so these images will look much better especially when you play back on an h.d.r. Compatible television so great stuff there so again this is the l.g. 30 it's a new 6 inch Android powered smartphone from l.g. With stellar cameras both on the front and the back a beautiful screen with an 18 by 9 aspect ratio What's the audio quality like let's say you're a music fan and you want to load it up with tunes. Yeah it's so similar to its predecessor the the 20 we've continued with providing consumers with a high 5 quad back and what that means is you're able to experience sound files as if you're live at a concert it's that same level of output that you're able to get what a typical smartphone has is a single dac which is a digital to analog converter so it's able to take an m p 3 file clean it up through that converter and then output it here device by having 4 docs were able to by using each create glass noise in your file more clarity in loudness in the sound so you're getting the absolute best version of the equate back awful awesome for then a smartphone we're chatting with Shelly wall the senior brand manager at l.g. Electronics about the l.g. V 30 and then finally battery life this may not be the sexiest of features when you're you know you're scrolling down the list of the marketing materials but it's certainly an important one with such a big and vibrant scream does that impact battery performance. You're able to adjust the settings to 2 year usage so of course having the device on full brightness is going to the point your battery faster but we have a number of different modes that allow consumers to make the most of their battery life we also have a large battery capacity so because we've got the large battery capacity the ability to just hear your settings as well as convenience features like wireless charging as well as quick charge 3 point now we have feel confident that the v. 30 can provide the battery life for both a heavy as well as light user Congratulations by the way I was reading a review by Tech Radar dot com one of the web sites I visit often and gave it almost a perfect score to the l.g. V 30 which is which is amazing they called it specifically if you haven't read it streamlined design of the device bursting with. Features they say interesting camera improvements and a gorgeous 0 lead display so similar to the old led T.V.'s from l.g. Which I've talked about in the past on this program but now has that similar technology inside of a device that you can slip into your pocket or purse so Shelly while the senior brand manager at l.g. Electronics thank you for your time thank you very much the cost of the l.g. V 30 is about 800 dollars right or subsidized over a 2 year plan with your favorite carrier We'll be right back with more tech it out stick with us when we talk about a do fidgets better for gamers breaking down geek speak.

What happens when you combine the popularity of video games with the fidgets spitter craze the answer is fidget Li control the 1st Bluetooth connected gaming fidgets spinner available now joining us to explain what that means exactly and what makes this fidgets better unique we're joined on the line by Justin Kifer c.e.o. And co-founder of fidget Lee welcome to the show Justin Thanks Mark I had to read the press release twice going like wait a 2nd here are they really combining gaming with this if it's bigger that's clever So let's start right from the top what is the physically control and control is spelled c t r l like in the video game world right that's right yeah so you know officially control is you know kind of like you describe it it's a Bluetooth connected fidgets Spener that connects to your mobile phone or tablet us and Android and then utilizing a bunch of sensors inside of the control device we have accelerometer gyroscope fact we're able to calculate the rate of spin or revolution so r.p.m. Speed that it's spinning at Count number of revolutions in which direction and spinning clockwise or counterclockwise and all sorts of other metrics and data and now fits better specifically our especially control have in your pocket functions as a 360 degree motion controller for mobile games All right so the idea is that for a one for a one on the Android or or i Phone or i Pad can tell you how many spins you're getting so I know that's kind of like bragging rights you got 0400 spins I got to 20 whatever but the gaming part so are you are you suggesting that you use the fidgets spinner to play games that are built into your app or other games like using it. Like you control or other games so we have 3rd party game studios and app developers along with our internal team that are building really cool games that you know specifically for frigidly control or taking existing games that are available through the App Store and Hansing them so that you can use digitally control as a controller so we have games like. Control which is a you know you control helicopter using your fitly control device when you spin it and the helicopter a sounds when you stop spinning at the Sens you have to avoid obstacles and things like that in the landscape. Which is a kind of a bubble catcher type of game except there's a center piece in the middle of the screen that when you spin control it rotates around either direction you're spinning it and depending on the speed of your spin and then you're trying to align you know 3 or more of the same colored bubbles that are kind of like flowing in from all edges of the screen into the center in order to make them so as a bunch of different games that are available that you can use this as a controller and there's also a music game called remakes control right that's right yeah and that's actually a funny story because I was talking to a simple machine out of New York City which is a game studio there we really kind of admire some of the games that they're doing and you know it's going to c.e.o. Kurt and you know he kind of this is over the summer as we're just developing the product and he kind of went away and came back the next day after I described what we're doing kind of showed him a demo of a prototype and he's like I have got to leave the killer app for this but it's not a game which was ironic because we were looking for games. And what he described it was ultimately what has become very mixed and we've worked in collaborated on together where you can take your Apple music or Google Music Library or Android and pull in songs that you have available on your device and use control as a basically like a turntable so you. Kind of like spinning vinyl and you can you know play the song forward or in reverse you can slow it down you know you can scratch like wine a lot of turntable all sorts of cool things like that we're chatting with Justin Kai 1st c.e.o. And co-founder of fidget Li The makers of digitally control it's the 1st Bluetooth connected gaming fidgets better are there buttons on the fidgets bitters Well for those games that require buttons or is it all the spinning motion of the bitter or the by holding it in certain ways it has an accelerometer as well yeah the accelerometer and gyroscope allow us to understand how you're holding it in 3 dimensional space whether it's at a $45.00 degree angle or a 90 degree angle and so we can utilize that data as well and that's that is being used in some of the games that are going to alter it now spin direction so clockwise the number of evolution spans we have. Freefall detection and air time calculations so if you're throwing it up in the air we'll hear steady and things like that tap detection so we don't have an stance your question in this version although you can imagine a future version may but if you tap on the device anywhere we can detect that and count. Things like that and use that almost like a button Ok got it 2nd last question because this is radio is the 5th it's bigger bigger because it has those sensors inside and wireless technology like Bluetooth or is it around the same size as a regular fidgets bigger Yeah it's pretty much the same size it is slightly thicker if you're talking I think it's a millimeter. It's barely different the form factor is essentially the same Got It All right so let's talk pricing and where we can learn more about the fish it's been a yeah sure so you can definitely check it out and buy fidget Lee dot com And we're also live nationwide in the u.s. In Target. All right and it's $39.00 right $3911.00 of the. Ok physically dot com and look for the up with the same name at the app stores are right that's right all right thank you so much justin for from fitly thanks for your time thanks Marc when we return on this show we'll chat with t.p.

Breaking the speed industry this is talking about how technology columnist author and t.v. Personality Mark Saltzman quick question for you what do most of today's technologies in the whole have in common I'm talking about laptops and tablets and smartphones smart T.V.'s video game systems and those streaming video boxes and what about Smart home devices like thermostats video cameras and voice activated personal assistants Well if you answered wife I you'd be right wife is the glue that connects these things together so how good is your home's wife I if it could be better because you're not getting the speed or range that you want you're certainly not alone so we're now going to learn about mesh this is a next generation y. Fi technology that's becoming quite popular joining us on the line to explain is Queenie c. Marketing manager at t.p. Link Welcome to the show Queenie thank you for having me before we talk about what t.p. Link has to offer in this space let's chat a little bit more about the problem that mesh addresses what's wrong with wife I to date. Our devices is already equipped with the next wife. Which is the. Traditional. Camote is just don't cut it for most users families are fighting for a ban within the home better connections and requesting for better connections and faster speed also to rise while users that this is where the mesh comes in is that people are using mobile and then also they're walking around trying to browse content and that's some of the problems. Right so and you're so you're right I did mention a couple of these things so speed is sometimes a problem range is another one. Where you know I know my kids used to complain about my wife and my room doesn't work I just going to do homework in this room instead or you know can we do something so I can watch a video so the range is another and then the 3rd problem I guess Queenie is is the more devices that we have on the network the more bogged down it can become you know just there's that we call it the pipe right this is the the the information that flows from your devices to to the router and the more devices that you have the more congested it can get so t.p. Link has a popular mesh solution called the deco m 5 Tell us about it so that that go up and live like a traditional working get one unit it comes in the. Pods and it fits in my hand and he can placement various locations in your home creating a unified network so it's a single network in your home that extend up to 4500 square. Ok so even larger homes over 4000 square feet again so that addresses the problem with range so as you mentioned you've got these like little pox I guess that you would put throughout your home and these are all talking to one another and when you said one network I think you're hinting at the fact that previously if you had a router and then you needed to extend the range to another part of your home you would buy what's called a repeater but the problem is that you often had to change the name of the network that you were joining in order to get access so now it's all just one name that is correct and also because you're talking to each other and talking to your device that is. Next to the best wife site to your devices on each other Ok so it automatically So if you're walking around your home with your smartphone or your tablet it will automatically join the closeness. I called it a pocket that your devices will automatically joyed the strongest part or the closest Pod And those are usually the same one at the same the closest the strongest and. That it all hopped from one to the other as you move about your home in the end that happens automatically. Now is the deco m 5 also ideal for home automation I mean that's becoming a big trend No Yeah absolutely not for me and. A lot of times you can't really move your socket over power outlets so this is more of a home coverage. Over such a wide space in your home you won't have to move any products around because most of your home products is already it needs to be near a power source a good point we're chatting with Queen d.c. She's the marketing manager at t.p. Link they're the makers of many networking products and now they've got a mesh system as it's called called the deco and 5 mesh is a new take on the wireless in your home by using different pods spread throughout your home but they all talk to one another how easy is the deco m 5 to install maybe you can walk us through the process Oh yes it's super easy. On the smartphone. And then connect your router to your modem connects to walk you step by step what kind of equipment you need and as you walk to go step by step instructions it kind of swipes right and then the next step so it's it's super easy to configure all rocks also setting up a guest network and. So you swipe rate like tinder Yes. When you buy the deco m 5 does this replace your existing router or does this add on to the box you may already have for a wife I the deckle and I would request because it's an echo and 5 router Ok now just for those who are listening that may have a modem and router in one box which is often the case when you buy or rent one from your provider like such as Bell then you can still use that box as a motive you still may need it when order to get internet but then you would just do. Able the wireless part correct so we talked about holds as large as 4500 square feet could use the deco in 5 if you have even a larger home than that can you buy additional Pods and put them throughout the house or is it maxed out at 3 you know you get up to 10 deco units in your home. Of the. Ok cooked with a differentiators between Deco and it's other competitors is parental controls and security talk to us about these features and that's going to do or. Our current controls and it's different from what you would see in the market what we do is we do a profound parental controls where you actually my sins are nursed a sick. And then you to an hour to an. Allowance is. Why I. Think you're on your own so that's what we call a robust parental controls. Who are the ones. Who are. Regularly. Coming here are sticks and has that coming into the market what it does in the. Base level security that prevents these acts coming in and attacking you're going to need an antivirus in your device. You would still want it but it's just an added level you know another layer of defense Ok finally how much does the deckle and 5 t.p. Link cost and where can we learn more about it so the bank.

If you've stepped into an office lately as I'm sure many of you think you've likely seen desks are always the same anymore it's not a one size fits all scenario you may have noticed some standing desks becoming popular or those that switch from a standing to a sitting desk and back again joining us on the lights talk about the trend we're joined on the line by Bobby reveal a president of Nvu electronics Welcome to the program Bobby Cox are having me on Arc Howard Morse I'm well thank you and you. Think Straight Well before we talk about these new desk trends and what you've got to offer Tell us a bit about n.v.u. And you Canadian distributor of consumer electronics products. Gadgets and office economic products and new category for us is active seating all right active seating I like that all right yes so with that in mind what are these standing desks exactly and what are the benefits to them Why do you think they're trendy. They've been around for a while I think right now they're becoming more noticeable and present in offices and homes all around I think done a lot of studies and people are spending more and more time sitting in front of a computer working longer hours and they coined the term that sitting is the new smoking so sitting for extended periods of time is not doing any benefit for anybody's health and people need to start getting more active so the standing desk can and allows people to stand up a little bit get their body moving keep blood flowing in their system help their cardiovascular health and overall become more productive while they're working but I like to now not all of these desks switch from standing mode to us. Hitting desk and then back again is that a good feature to look forward should you get one that either standing or sitting It's always beneficial if you have the option to have an adjustable height desk and the reason for that is if you're just using a standing desk there's a lot of medical studies that have recently come out some very recently actually that standing for prolonged periods of time is also not the greatest for you so as long as you're getting some movement while you're standing that's good for you so you need to have a balance of sitting and standing and moving wall while you're working now speaking of moving that leads us nicely into the fit desk this is the product that you are distributing that desk what makes this product unique Well if it does and I think you are fit that is the brand and fit that makes a product called the bike desk right and the bike desk has been grabbing people by storm it's a stationary bike with a built and desk platform which allows people to work put their laptops on the desk and and exercise at the same time people just more and more people don't have the time to go out to the gym after they work or to exercise they have family life then whatever else is going on with them they just not finding the time to exercise and this allows people to find that time to exercise while they're working and it also helps their health while they're working on their productivity so for employers employers to have a product like this for their employees it's going to help their bottom line regardless because they have more productive employees and they're healthy are active feeding I like that so we're talking in particular about the fit desk bike desk and I understand so when I read about it I thought oh it's a great idea for maybe a home office or a home but if it was in an office environment maybe too loud but from what I've read it's actually quite quiet and it is it's actually the bicycle mechanism is. Is whisper quiet so you can actually hear it when it's in operation so it is perfect for any office it won't disturb anybody has a small footprint and it it actually it's compact so you can fold it up and tuck it away in a corner if you don't need it out but most people will decide once they start using it that they'll probably throw away their existing stuff going to sit on the bike desk and do all their work from there all day so I haven't seen this yet in person what's this like I'm assuming it's got to be a comfortable seat if you're it is a very comfortable seat so you can spend hours on the saying I've been using it since we brought it out so the fit desk 3 point No actually just launched in Canada in the last 2 weeks so it's brand new and it is the seat cushion is a little bit heavier than your traditional bike seat so it's in there to accommodate you so you can sit for longer periods of time and it also has a background stuff as well so you're not just sitting hunched over but you can sit back like in a regular chair can you clarify again about what the table top part looks like it's big enough to put a tablet on and or a laptop rather in a mouse Yes so the regular tab size it'll fit a laptop and probably. Some notepad for your phone and everything but there is an extension kit which you can get for it which doubles the size of the desk surface and that will give you enough space to put your mouse on one side you're drinking your notes in your phone so it really is you know it gives you about 36 inches of not 36 or 32 inches of space when you're when you're using it so it's it is quite wide Ok As for prices this is what you're looking at for the bike desk $349.00 for the under desk elliptical it's $169.00 the tabletop standing desk is only $99.00 and the fit and desk. Is to 99 and all of these products and more info on them is available at the fit Desk dot com That's the fit Desk dot com Poppy reveal thanks for your time thank you very much for when I see you next I want to expect really good quads I want to see like fully buy because even using this Thanks Bobbie that's the fit Desk dot com When we return on tech it out I'm going to share with you some tips to a safer online shopping experience we've got Black Friday coming up followed by Cyber Monday and there's the holidays so I want to share with you some ways to keep yourself protected your data your computer or smartphone or tablet so don't touch that dial when we return on tech get out some online shopping safety tips will be right back breaking down geek speak into straight speak tech it out Posted by Mark Saltzman thank you for watching Fox a.b.c. And the c.w. Here in Alaska is making certain statements and we need to set the record straight the fact is that we have to pay for all the programming we provide g.c.i. The fact is that we have made numerous attempts to negotiate with g.c.i. For market based rates so that we can afford to bring this expensive programming to you I want us to give them this programming for less than it costs us they are attempting to use you their customers to continue their monopoly and eliminate competition how many times have they reduced your rates or deliver the service they promised in the manner you expected when they dropped AMC and The Walking Dead or route t.v. And the Mariners did they drop your rates do you really trust g.c.i. They are a monopoly built on your hard earned dollars and they are using their power to drive out all competition in our market in short they want to control what you watch and how you watch it we negotiated deals with Dish Network and direct t.v. With no issues so what is the problem it's time to stand against a bully call or write g.c.i. Until them to stop using their bad faith tactics.

Welcome back to tech get out do you love online shopping Well you're certainly not alone perhaps it's no surprise that we've discovered the benefits of online shopping you don't have to fight traffic to drive to the mall and circle the parking lot online stores are open 24 seventh's and you can wear your pajamas while shopping it's easy to compare prices between multiple retailers you could read reviews from both customers and critics product selection is vast including many stores and unique items sold outside of the u.s. And products are shipped right to your door or the gift recipients home if you prefer all of that being said to ensure a smooth online shopping experience I do want to share some advice for you in case you're fairly new at it or not doing it the right way so let's start with the obvious stick with stores you already know and love you know the big guys are great like an Amazon a Wal-Mart a Best Buy and so on and if you're shopping on e Bay remake sure you read the seller's reputation before you buy to ensure you'll have a smooth experience when you're shopping online when you are giving out your credit card make sure it's a secure connection and you can do that in one of 2 ways one is you'll see a little padlock on your browser which lets you know it's a secured connection and encrypted one so it's private otherwise you'll see h t t p s at the front of the address bar the s stands for security so don't give your credit card if you Elisi h.t.t.p. Number 2 is to pay securely you know on a related note shop on sites that only take secure payment like a credit card or Pay Pal never said cash or a check when you're shopping online stick with a credit card or Pay Pal both offer buyer protection should you need it should there be a dispute Number 3 look for a seal of approval most shy. Upping sites have some sort of seal at the top or bottom of the page like each store did she cert or Vera signed something like that it's a security seal of approval Better Business Bureau's find as well even though it's a private organization but still that the idea's the same look for some sort of security seal of approval number 4 Try not to do any online shopping when you're using a public computer like in an airport lounge where it shared or when you're using public Wi-Fi like at your favorite coffee shop you never know if your information is being tracked and logs so it's best to wait until you're home on your own private Wife Network or if you really want to do some online shopping or banking in your on your laptop somewhere use your cell phone as a hotspot as it's called in to log into that because a cellular connection is safer than a Free Public Wi-Fi one number 5 update your software whether you shop on a smartphone tablet laptop or desktop always keep the operating system up to date to avoid cyber criminals exploiting a weakness always use good anti malware software that's anti malicious software that is on your computer that can look for anything suspicious and remove it immediately so that's about it you know it's not rocket science it's a lot of common sense and using a secure payment method just in case you have a dispute you've got some recourse there doing your homework to changing your passwords every once in a while to keep a step ahead of the bad guys this is what you're going to need to know before you shop online and whether you want to do it on a smartphone tablet or laptop or desktop online shopping is safe overall and it's certainly fun and convenient but just try to exercise some of those tips to ensure the best possible experience on a related note if you're looking to make some cash so you can buy new things for the holidays for your loved ones the Internet is also a great place for that specifically you can use it all. And marketplace like e Bay dot com So you would set up a free account you would make a post about what you'd like to sell with some photos and then people can either bid or just buy it outright the catch there though is that you have to ship the product to the recipient you want to build that into the price the other way to do it and a very popular one it is the local classifieds online classifieds So Craigslist and the like where it is free as well to make a post you can say hey I've got this old t.v. For sale of got this smartphone I no longer use an i Pad or so so on and post the price you want and put some photos on there and then somebody would meet you in order to pick it up it would be just a cash transaction make sure though that if you do a set something up to sell that you meet someone in a public location like a coffee shop or bring a friend along with you just in case but that put some cash back into your pocket which you can then use to buy new stuff over the holidays and again take advantage of those sales over Black Friday Cyber Monday and leading up to the holidays thank you for listening to tech it out today everyone this program is brought to you by a Seuss creating technology for today and tomorrow Smart life for those in search of incredible visit dot com for more information that's a.s.u.s.
