Well, I'm dusting off this original Squeezebox to stream music from my NAS, as an alternate source to CD for my workshop system. Not expected to be 'serious' hifi. Challenge will be presenting the data over ethernet to the Squeezebox in a way it can handle. I think the Squeezebox predates UPnP and DLNA.

Roughly around 325,000 homes across the US are broken into every year, usually in plain view. Altogether there are about 2.5 million burglaries reported and 66% of those are in homes. Most break-ins happen during the day when people are most likely to be out and about.
There are certain things you can do to protect your home in order not to become a statistic. We’ve rounded up 4 tips to protect your home, your family, and belongings better.
Keep valuables out of sight
It’s not difficult for anyone to just walk up and take a peek through one of your windows and see what you have lying around if you don’t have thick curtains or forgot to close them on your way out. While some items are not really meant to be moved around, like a TV screen, others are easier to move and keep out of view. Laptops, mobiles, all other small devices, purses, and wallets can all be put away when you’re out of the house. Even if your purse or wallet is actually empty and the mobile is old, a burglar wouldn’t know that, and it would just be too tempting in their eyes.
Wire up
It doesn’t matter if you live in a building, a house, or own a shop or any other business, you can use a security system to put your mind at ease. If moving into a new home or looking to sell your old one that’s a good time for when to get a wired security system. Having a wired system can increase the cost of your home when selling, and may also have custom made options that wireless security systems do not always offer.
Don’t provide hiding places
Your landscape, tall trees, and bushes are lovely to sit near and under. They provide nice shade on hot days but they also provide more opportunity for thieves and the likes to hide in. Keep shrubs and trees trimmed, at least trimmed enough that they do not block windows. Besides that, don’t leave items outside. Many people will leave a ladder outside after doing some roof repair, for example. This is inviting a would-be thief to the upper floors of a house where windows might be often unlocked.
Change locks when necessary
Anytime you or someone else loses a key to the house, change the lock. You can never be sure if the key was actually lost or if someone got their hands on it, giving them more than easy access to your home. If you rent out a home, it’s also recommended to change locks after a tenant leaves.
You can never be too safe
There really is no such thing as being too safe when it comes to protecting your home. Be an alert homeowner and find out more ways to protect your property. Always keep all doors, windows and the garage locked. You can ask someone you trust to keep a watchful eye if you have to leave home for an extended period. As we say, better to be safe than sorry.

A patent for a automatic exposure regulating devicewas applied for in the US in 1959 and granted in 1961. Agfa obtained a licence for their Automatic 66, one of the first folding cameras with automatic exposure.
For those interested in the text of the patent:
Description
April 25, 1961 J. DURST 8 AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE REGULATING DEVICE Filed June 29, 1959 Fig.7
INVENTOR.
JULIUS mmsr ATTORNEY United States Patent AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE REGULATING DEVICE Julius Durst, Bressanone, Italy, 'asslgnor to Julius Durd and Durst Soc. p.A., Fabbriea Macchine ed Appareechl Fototecnici, Bolzano, Italy Filed June 29, 1959, Ser. No. 823,462
Claims prlorlty, application Italy July 7, 1958 14 Claims. (CI. 95-10) This invention relates to an automatic exposure regulating device for photographic cameras and motion picture apparatus, and more particularly relates to such a device in which both the shutter speed and eflfective aperture are controlled.
In automatically controlling the exposure of a photographic camera, photoelectric exposure measuring devices have been used either for regulating the shutter speed or the effective aperture. Since the regulation of shutter speed requires that complicated auxiliary elements must be controlled by an exposure meter, it has been preferred to adjust the lens diaphragm which can more easily be controlled, particularly in motion picture cameras for regulating exposures. However, the range of indication of an exposure meter is far greater than the range of regulation of a camera shutter, and the range of regulation of a diaphragm for controlling the efl ective aperture of the camera lens is also limited.
When both the effective aperture and shutter speed could be regulated, the range of indication of an exposure meter is utilized to a far greater extent. In systems with followup devices, the indication of light intensity provided by the exposure meter is transferred to either the aperture regulating diaphragm or the shutter by means of a control member. However, there is no means of simultaneously regulating and coordinating the operation of the diaphragm and shutter. In automatically controlling exposures, there is a problem of separately varying the aperture and exposure time to coordinate them over the full range of exposures. With automatically controlled exposure regulators having a range of control, for exampie, from 1 second to $3 second, the aperture must be adjusted to provide very fast exposure times with sufiicient depth of focus. Then when the ambient illumination is very small, the diaphragm must be opened to such an extent that the shutter mechanism provides its longest exposure times. However, if the light is so bright that even the fastest exposure time of the device is insufiicient, the diaphragm must be closed.
An object of this invention is to provide an automatic exposure regulating device which can utilize the entire measuring range of an exposure meter.
Another object is to provide such a device in which both the exposure time and effective aperture are separately varied in a coordinated manner with the etfective aperture being decreased as the shutter speed increases.
Still further an object is to provide such a device in which principal phases of variation of shutter speed are interspersed by principal phases of variation of eflective aperture.
In accordance with this invention an actuating means connected to an adjustable diaphragm is automatically opened and closed as the shutter speed is automatically regulated by control of a shutter retarding device.
A certain program in regulation of the aperture and shutter speed can be described in accordance with the following. This program can be governed in accordance with the statistical observations made by photography ice 2 erl; to provide definite proportion between shutter speed and effective aperture under varying light conditions. In accordance with this program, four successive trends can be determined in passing from the dimmest to the brightest light.
Starting with the dimmest light with the lens diaphragm fully opened, the slowest shutter speed is used; and the shutter speed is then reduced with increasing light intensity. When the brightness increases still further, it is then preferred to start closing the diaphragm in favor of maintaining depth of focus. When the brightness increases so much that proper depth of focus can be maintained by, for example, the diaphragm, the shutter speed is then reduced again to prevent insuificient motional focus from being obtained. As the brightness increases still further to a maximum, it is only possible to reduce the exposure further by closing down upon the diaphragm.
The subject matter of German Patent 923,525 of this same inventor may be utilized in providing a practical embodiment of the aforementioned cycle of regulation.
The object of this present invention may accordingly be described as the provision of a practical embodiment of a program type automatic exposure control which makes it possible for a photographer to avoid the trouble of separately adjusting either the effective aperture or shutter speed and the necessity of manually performing adjustments in accordance with the indication of exposure indicating instruments.
In German Patent 923,525 is shown a control element operated by a photoelectric cell through a galvanometer in accordance with a function of brightness of ambient illumination which provides a variation in the cross section of flow through a suction pump. This suction pump which is connected with the shutter is given more or less air in accordance with the size of inlet formed by an exposure meter regulated valve at a given time to provide an impedance which varies as a function of brightness of the ambient illumination.
In accordance with this present invention an exposureregulating device is connected to a shutter-retarding device and an actuating means for an adjustable diaphragm to permit the speed of the shutter and the opening of the aperture to be respectively separately controlled. A coordinating means acting between the shutter-retarding device and the actuating means causes the effective aperture to be decreased as the speed of the shutter increases. This coordinating means provides, for example, a program in which phases of adjustment of the shutterretarding device are interspersed by principal phases of adjustment of the actuating means. This is achieved, for example, by applying varied forces in steps to the actuatmg means.
One type of embodiment of this invention includes a second piston and cylinder in addition to the first piston and cylinder shown in German Patent 923,525. A passageway connects these two cylinders, and the piston to the second cylinder is connected to an actuating means for adjusting the diaphragm of the lens. The first piston is connected to the shutter to provide an automatic shutter retarding device. A spring maintains the diaphragmactuating piston in that limit of travel in which the greatest space is provided within its cylinder, namely in the bottom dead center position. The diaphragm in this position is accordingly maintained at its smallest aperture. When the shutter is released, the main piston moves through a suction stroke, and its impedance or retarding effect upon the running of the shutter is determined by the amount of air flowing into it. Simultaneously, the degree of vacuum created in the main cylinder is imparted to the second cylinder thereby opening the diaphragm attached to its cylinder against the action of the spring holding it closed. Since the vacuum is maintained substantially constant during this suction stroke, the diaphragm is maintained at a substantially definite aperture opening while the shutter is running off. An operative cycle having, for example, four zones or phases of different operation is provided by providing four incremental force-applying means associated with the diaphragm, for example, by applying four different spring forces to the diaphragm in such a way that the diaphragm control piston is maintained held substantially motionless in two of four phases throughout the range of variation of shutter speed.'
Separate programs of aperture size and shutter speeds are accordingly brought about in a relatively simple manner by variation in vacuum of the mechanism retarding the shutter. Since each shutter speed corresponds to a substantially definite'vacuum, the adjustable diaphragm is accordingly sucked thereby into the position coordinated therewith. However, in each separate phase of operation, neither the shutter speed nor the aperture opening seems absolutely constant because a variation in the shutter speed and accordingly the vacuum created thereby alters the aperture opening. In order to maintain one of these two regulating means substantially constant, individual cross-sectional flow passages are provided for the diaphragm control. A simple example of an automatic device for governing exposure is shown in German Patent 923,525 which, in accordance with this invention, is utilized in a unique manner to simultaneously automatically set the shutter speed and diaphragm in accordance with a substantially fixed cycle of operation. (See US. 2,800,844.)
It is accordingly advantageous to arrange this device in such a manner that the diaphragm is maintained closed by spring action when fastest shutter speeds are being provided. As the shutter speed decreases and the vacuum drawn in the retarding device increases, this overcomes the increasing resistance of the retarding springs applied to the diaphragm control.
Novel features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to one skilled in the art from a reading of the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein similar reference characters refer to similar parts and in which:
Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view in elevation of one embodiment of this invention; and
Fig. 2 is a plan cross-sectional view taken through an upper portion of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1.
In Figs. 1 and 2 is shown a housing 1 with a shutter mechanism 2 and release lever 3 mounted in its lower portion. Winding shaft 4 connected, for example, with the shutter blades (not shown) supports a rotating crank 5 upon which is mounted a crank pin 6. Crank pin 6 moves within a slot in the right hand arm of lever 9 which is rotatably mounted upon shaft 7 secured to housing 1. The left hand arm of lever 9 is connected by means of connecting rod 10 with piston 12. A compensating spring 8, for example of the torsion type, reacts in a counterclockwise direction upon lever 9. Cylinder block 11 within which piston 12 slides also encloses auxiliary piston 20 which is connected by pin 18 through connecting rod 19 to diaphragm adjusting lever 17. Lever 17 is part of an actuating means which moves the plates through diaphragm ring 16. Diaphragm plates 15 are maintained by tension spring 21 attached to pin 18 urged towards the closed position, and auxiliary diaphragm actuating piston is accordingly urged towards its bottom dead center position. Springs 22, 23 and 24 are part of an incremental force-applying means, and they are disposed in position to come successively into action to retard the movement of diaphragm lever 17 during its phase of operation to cause four substantislly discrete phases of diaphragm adjustment.
Casing 1 also encloses an exposure-measuring means incorporating a photoelectric cell 26 connected to a 4 galvanometer 25. Pointer 29 is mounted upon galvanometer shaft 27 and moves over a scale 31 whichcan be observed through window 30. A valve element 28 is incorporated upon the left hand side of pointer 29 and moves freely over suction regulating apertures 13 in the head of cylinder 11.
Operation When shutter 2 is released by actuation of release lever 3, its wind shaft 4 runs off in a counterclockwise direction and accordingly moves double-armed lever 9 along with it through pin 6. This causes a suction stroke to be performed upon the downward movement of piston 12. Valve element 28 is moved in accordance with the ambient illumination detected by photoelectric cell 26 to cover predetermined inlet openings 13 to a predetermined degree which controls the vacuum drawn by piston 12 thereby controlling its retarding effect and accordingly the running-off speed of the winding shaft and the shutter speed as well. The degree of vacuum drawn by main piston 12 exerts through passageway 14 a vacuum upon piston 20 which lifts it accordingly. This moves diaphragm adjusting ring 16 to open the diaphragm to an extent which varies in accordance with the incremental resistances of the springs 21, 22, 23 and 24 which are successively brought into action.
During the dimmest light conditions, the shutter retarding effect of piston 12 is highest and the strongest vacuum is exerted upon piston 20. This causes piston 20 to move to its highest position against the combined force of all four springs thereby opening diaphragm plates 15 to their maximum effective aperture.
As the light increases in brightness, the shutter speed starts to increase with the lens opening held substantially constant as long as enough vacuum is provided to move it into engagement with all four springs. However, when the shutter speed increases sufficiently to disengage lever 17 from final spring 24, the effective aperture suddenly drops to the position governed by the first three springs 21, 22 and 23.
Then follows a second phase of speed regulation in which the shutter speed increases while effective aperture is held substantially constant until the vacuum drops below an amount sufficient to maintain lever 17 in engagement with penultimate spring 23. Diaphragm plates 15 are then moved to a third more closed phase in which it is held as the shutter speed increases still further until the vacuum drops below the intensity suflicient to main tain lever 17 engaged with third spring 22. Then the remaining spring 21 draws lever 17 into its lowest position providing minimum effective aperture where it remains as shutter retarding piston 12 is regulated throughout its fastest range of speeds. The aperture opening is accordingly varied in stepped increments as the shutter speed varies from minimum to maximum with ranges of shutter speed variation being accomplished between the steps of aperture variation.

Roughly around 325,000 homes across the US are broken into every year, usually in plain view. Altogether there are about 2.5 million burglaries reported and 66% of those are in homes. Most break-ins happen during the day when people are most likely to be out and about.
There are certain things you can do to protect your home in order not to become a statistic. We’ve rounded up 4 tips to protect your home, your family, and belongings better.
Keep valuables out of sight
It’s not difficult for anyone to just walk up and take a peek through one of your windows and see what you have lying around if you don’t have thick curtains or forgot to close them on your way out. While some items are not really meant to be moved around, like a TV screen, others are easier to move and keep out of view. Laptops, mobiles, all other small devices, purses, and wallets can all be put away when you’re out of the house. Even if your purse or wallet is actually empty and the mobile is old, a burglar wouldn’t know that, and it would just be too tempting in their eyes.
Wire up
It doesn’t matter if you live in a building, a house, or own a shop or any other business, you can use a security system to put your mind at ease. If moving into a new home or looking to sell your old one that’s a good time for when to get a wired security system. Having a wired system can increase the cost of your home when selling, and may also have custom made options that wireless security systems do not always offer.
Don’t provide hiding places
Your landscape, tall trees, and bushes are lovely to sit near and under. They provide nice shade on hot days but they also provide more opportunity for thieves and the likes to hide in. Keep shrubs and trees trimmed, at least trimmed enough that they do not block windows. Besides that, don’t leave items outside. Many people will leave a ladder outside after doing some roof repair, for example. This is inviting a would-be thief to the upper floors of a house where windows might be often unlocked.
Change locks when necessary
Anytime you or someone else loses a key to the house, change the lock. You can never be sure if the key was actually lost or if someone got their hands on it, giving them more than easy access to your home. If you rent out a home, it’s also recommended to change locks after a tenant leaves.
You can never be too safe
There really is no such thing as being too safe when it comes to protecting your home. Be an alert homeowner and find out more ways to protect your property. Always keep all doors, windows and the garage locked. You can ask someone you trust to keep a watchful eye if you have to leave home for an extended period. As we say, better to be safe than sorry.

IdemoLab, DELTA joined forces with KEA's Jewellery Design program and Wearable Technologies in collaboration to create 'Meaningful Jewellery' for their wearable technology project, and to host the Wearable Tech Global Picnic.
At the event "Jewellery of Tomorrow", KEA students from all semesters exhibited their projects (Meaningful Jewellery, Mixed Media, and Portfolio). The Meaningful Jewellery Devices class was part of a collaboration between Vanessa Julia Carpenter of IdemoLab, DELTA and Petra Ahde-Deal of KEA. Vanessa is exploring the Design of Meaningful Smart Devices and introduced to the class how to work with hardware and think about creating non-screen, tangible, embedded interactive devices which create value and are meaningful in people's lives.
In the coming decade, wearable technology will touch nearly every aspect of our lives. The jewellery students from KEA shared their 8-week journey in creating meaningful jewellery devices and their functional prototypes. Understanding the functionalities of different sensors and using the knowledge of design thinking and user experience, the functional jewellery prototypes are the nexus of design, innovation, imagination and function.

Governor Josh Shapiro signed Senate Bill 37 - known as Paul Miller's Law - into law, prohibiting the use of hand-held devices while driving. This bipartisan legislation makes Pennsylvania the 29th state in the nation to ban distracted driving. Paul Miller's Law allows law enforcement to issue a ticket when a driver uses a cell phone while driving. Drivers can still use their phones to alert emergency responders and to make phone calls, use a GPS, and listen to music, if they are using hands-free technology. JUNE 05, 2024 - HARRISBURG, PA

For anyone interested: The attached device is a copy of Asian device online. It is 2 door hinges each with 4 "L" shape brackets. The ribbons sandwiched between brackets. The ribbons are firmly superglue to the left and right side of the sole with the door hinge in "V" folded shape. As the V shape flattens the ribbons pull quite hard on the feet making them wide. (the hinges lock when it is flat so the device pull is constant) I used it for 2days to stretch foot width 5.25". When released they were 4.9" and have stay that width while being bare foot. It is possible to walk slowly "flat footed" wearing this device which helps pull the stretching width of the feet. Excellent balance when hiking with wide feet. Helps from slipping on rocks also.

I like what they've done with the design, harkening back to word processors and coupler modems. Feels almost like something you'd see in a Wes Anderson movie.

I used an iPhone 5s with the Camera and Snapseed apps.
It appears to be some sort of communication device, with a tethered mouthpiece and receptacle for inserting monetary funds. My understanding is that the user would activate the device with money, then press the square keys under the mouthpiece to identify the appropriate connection terminating point. Once the connection was achieved, usually with an audible greeting of some sort, the user would then speak into the portion of the mouthpiece closest to the tethered communication cable. Placing mouthpiece in hook above the square buttons would end the connection. I remember seeing these lining the walls outside the office at my high school, near the ashtrays.
