Sonic Bug Repellents Don’t Work

Do Sonic Bug Repellents Actually Work?

It's summer, the mosquitos are buzzing and you want relief. Can you really battle bugs with sound, though?

Posted about 3 weeks ago

I live in Northern California, where the whole concept of summer is a cruel joke, but for the past two nights, a persistent buzzing has interrupted my precious sleep: mosquitos.

If only — no, wait, there is an app for that. Many, many apps, all variations on the sonic insect repeller plug-ins that have been on the market and "seen on TV" for years.

Sadly, according to Dr. Roger Gold, professor of entomology at Texas A&M University, the whole industry — which he said was worth over $1 billion — is basically rubbish. "Based on the testing we have done through the years, the claims of repelling insects [with sound] are unfounded," he said. "This is a strictly a buyer-beware situation."

Gold's testing mainly took place in the '90s, when he responded to requests from a number of different regulatory bodies, including the Federal Trade Commission, to take a look at these plug-in devices. (His research goes back even further: Gold debunked repellents in a 1985 Chicago Tribune story.) Gold and his team constructed plywood forts and placed insects inside of them, and then exposed the bugs to "several" different kinds of sonic devices on the marketplace: ultrasonic, subsonic, audible, etc.

None of them did anything to the bugs; some annoyed the younger female lab workers with a high-pitched droning sound. (Did you know that men and woman can hear different pitches? I didn't.) "In order for them to work, the insects have to be set up to perceive sounds," said Gold. But, as different species have different kinds of sensors, even those who may respond to sound waves ("hearing" seems to be a stretch for an insect) develop "habituation." In other words, the way you stop feeling your wristwatch after you've been wearing it for a while, "insects living in the presence of any sound gets used to it."

So where did this wacky notion take hold? According to Gold, the origins of the sonic bug repeller industry are in the military, like a lot of other consumer technology. "The military was interested in whether or not you could put insects in the pathway of the air raid siren and survive." he said. Thanks to the giant blast of energy generated by the sirens, it killed bugs dead. From there, commercial entrepreneurs took the idea and started making devices that used ultrasonic or sub-sonic waves. (No one wants an air raid siren in their living room.) Except that the whole reason the air raid siren worked was the sheer force, force that Gold said could kill a human standing nearby.

With that in mind, I downloaded a free app with several five-star ratings and testimonials, just to see what it did. Gold said that in addition to simply not working, sonic repellents had the potential to annoy pets. Anti Mosquito has three levels: 14k, 16k, 20k. It wasn't just inaudible to me, it was inaudible to my cats, who were completely bored by my perambulations around their nap-chair. Gold said that it was a combination of good marketing and wishful thinking that kept this bogus business alive, there's no such thing as a silver bullet for insects: "You know how real estate agents say 'location, location, location'? It's sanitation, sanitation, sanitation."

Self-Publishing Your Book via the Web

The Joys and Hazards of Self-Publishing on the Web

By ALAN FINDER

Not long ago, an aspiring book writer rejected by traditional publishing houses had only one alternative: vanity publishing. For $5,000 or $10,000, or sometimes much more, he could have his manuscript edited and published, provided that he agreed to buy many copies himself, often a few thousand or more. They typically ended up in the garage.

Digital technology has changed all that. A writer turned down by traditional publishers — or even avoiding them — now has a range of options. Among them are self-publishing a manuscript as an e-book; self-publishing through myriad companies that print on demand, in which a paperback or hardcover book is printed each time it is purchased; and buying an array of services, from editing and design to marketing and publicity, from what are known as assisted self-publishing companies.

“It’s the Wild West in a lot of ways — people who are innovators can do remarkable things,” said Mark Levine, whose own self-published book, “The Fine Print of Self-Publishing,” is now in its fourth edition.

Digital publishing and print on demand have significantly reduced the cost of producing a book. The phenomenal growth of e-readers and tablets has vastly expanded the market for e-books, which can be self-published at little or no cost. Writers who self-publish are more likely to be able to control the rights to their books, set their books’ sale price and keep a larger proportion of the sales.

But one thing has not changed: most self-published books sell fewer than 100 or 150 copies, many authors and self-publishing company executives say. There are breakout successes, to be sure, and some writers can make money simply by selling their e-books at low prices. Some self-published books attract so much attention that a traditional publishing house eventually picks them up. (Perhaps you’ve heard of the novel “Fifty Shades of Grey,” which began its life as a self-published work?)

Still, a huge majority of self-published books “don’t sell a lot of copies,” said Mark Coker, the founder and chief executive of Smashwords, a no-frills operation that concentrates on self-published e-books. “We make it clear to our authors.”

Some people have no problem with that; they want only to print 50 or 100 copies of a memoir or a family history at a relatively low cost. But others continue to dream big.

There are two basic kinds of self-publishing companies, both Web-based:

ASSISTED SELF-PUBLISHING These companies focus primarily on producing hardcover and paperback books. They offer many services, separately and in packages, including editing, copy editing, proofing, marketing, public relations, access to social media and even strategies for drawing search engines to a book.

With the rise of e-books, virtually all of these also will publish a manuscript digitally, and many have their own online bookstores.

At Lulu, for example, you pay nothing upfront. Each time a print book is sold, you receive 80 percent of the proceeds, beyond the cost of manufacturing the book. For $450, Lulu offers an editing package for books longer than 7,500 words (which is most books). Lulu will have a designer create a book cover for $130, and it provides groups of services like editing, design and formatting, starting at $729 and going as high as $4,949.

At CreateSpace, a division of Amazon, the process for producing a print book is similar. You go to the Web site, sign up for an account and follow the steps to prepare a print book for publication. If you sell your book through Amazon, you receive 60 percent of the proceeds, minus the cost of printing. Optional services include copy editing, which starts at $120, and converting a print file to an e-book for Kindle, $69.

Half a dozen packages, the most expensive of which costs $4,853, provide services like comprehensive editing, cover and interior design, promotion and publicity assistance and a video book trailer.

Relatively similar services can be found at many other Web sites, including Aventine Press; Self Publishing Inc.; Hillcrest Media; and iUniverse, Xlibris and AuthorHouse, which are among the imprints owned by Author Solutions, a company purchased last month by Penguin, a traditional publishing house, for $116 million.

Be sure to carefully compare prices since they can vary considerably, especially on printing and sharing in the sales.

E-BOOKS AND NO-FRILLS WEB SITES Smashwords is one of the low-cost Web sites that publish only e-books. As with similar sites, you can publish a digital book free, and then put it on sale at many online retailers, including Smashwords’s store, Apple’s iBookstore, Barnes & Noble, Kobo and Sony.

Proceeds are split this way: You get 60 percent of the book’s sales price, Smashwords receives 10 percent and the retailer gets 30 percent. (If you sell through Smashwords instead of a big retailer, you retain 85 percent.) Mr. Coker, the site’s founder, said it did not offer any services because he wanted to encourage do-it-yourself e-book publishing. Instead, the Web site provides lists of inexpensive independent contractors who can help with formatting an e-book or designing a cover.

Scribd got its start as a sharing site, where people distribute writing of all kinds free. The site now has an online store, where you can follow instructions to publish a manuscript as an e-book; when it is purchased at Scribd’s store, you get 80 percent of the proceeds.

Apple, Barnes & Noble and Kobo also provide platforms for publishing an e-book and selling it at their stores. The details vary. Apple, for instance, gives you 70 percent of the proceeds for sales at its iBookstore; Barnes & Noble provides 65 percent of the list price of e-books priced from $2.99 to $9.99 that are sold on its online store. Although Google does not have a self-publishing platform, its store is open to self-publishers, with 52 percent of the proceeds going to the writers.

You can usually, though not always, put an e-book up for sale at many online stores, not just at the one owned by the company through which you published the e-book.

Some self-publishers strongly recommend spending money on help with formatting both print and e-books; this process can be complicated, time-consuming and frustrating to do yourself, though by no means impossible if you are patient and technologically adept.

They also say you need to study carefully the details of each company’s contracts; some charge very high markups for printing hardcover and paperback books, offer a lower share of the sales or make it difficult and expensive to leave a self-publishing company if you become dissatisfied.

“It really is buyer beware out there,” said Ron Pramschufer, president of Self Publishing Inc. “Don’t get into the publishing business without learning something about publishing.”

A number of blogs and books on self-publishing can help you understand the business’s many complexities and distinguish transparent, well-run companies from those that benefit themselves far more than their authors.

The single toughest part of self-publishing is getting attention for your book. Nearly 350,000 new print titles were published in 2011, and 150,000 to 200,000 of them were produced by self-publishing companies, said Kelly Gallagher, vice president of Bowker Market Research, which conducts an annual survey of new books.

The quality of self-published books varies widely, “and people don’t know what’s good and what’s not,” said David Carnoy, an executive editor of CNET.com, which provides news and reviews of new technology.

Mr. Carnoy self-published a novel, “Knife Music,” in 2008. It sold enough copies that a traditional publisher eventually bought it. Among his suggestions for selling your book: devise a creative marketing campaign, try one new tactic a day, and study the strategies used by successful self-publishers and imitate them.

“The biggest thing you have against you in trying to sell your book is that people don’t know about it,” he said.

Adding videos to your Word documents

Lights.. Camera.. Action! Adding videos to your Word documents

by Word Team

Today's post comes from Seth Fox, the program manager on the Word team responsible for adding web videos to Word documents.

Videos are a great way to engage a reader, tell a story, invoke emotion, and communicate effectively. They are found all over the web (news articles, blogs, websites, etc.) and are a great way to enhance documents you send digitally. In the new Word, we added the ability to insert web video directly into your documents, allowing you to create rich, interactive output that pairs your words with video whenever appropriate.

When designing this feature we had a few key goals:

1. Allow you to easily find and insert online video from a variety of sources
2. Ensure that videos are easy to move, resize, and position

3. Allow videos to be played right from within Word, so you don’t have to switch context.

Easy to find and insert videos directly from Word

We wanted to make it easy for users to find and insert online videos from a variety of sources right within Word. You can use Bing to search for videos (similar to inserting online pictures), and you can add specific video providers like YouTube to search for and insert videos.

This allows you to quickly find the video you want, insert it, and go right back to writing your document (we’ve all been there when a simple search for content online has led to a 2 hour visit to Facebook or a marathon session of clicking through cat videos). When you search for a video, each result is shown by a thumbnail preview. Selecting or hovering over the thumbnail will show the title of the video, the provider (ex. YouTube, Dailymotion, etc.), and its length. Click the icon on the bottom right of the thumbnail to preview the video so you can make sure it’s the one you want before inserting. If you’ve already found a video online you can copy the video’s embed code (typically found by a share link) and paste it into the embed code slab to directly insert the video.

Videos insert with a thumbnail automatically, making it easy to recognize the video at glance and invites your readers to press play. When you insert a web video into a document, Word actually saves a link to the online source hosting the video. This allows you to watch the video anytime you’re online without bloating the file size of the document.

Videos are easy to work with in your document

Once the video is inserted it behaves like a picture. You can resize it and position it exactly where you want in your document. You’ll even get alignment guides to help you position it in exactly the right spot. If the thumbnail of the video isn’t what you want, simply right click and select change picture to replace it with any picture on your PC. Videos also support most image features like cropping and effects so you can touch up the thumbnail to make it look just right. Videos in your document feature a large play button to make it easy to play with a single click. However, we know that sometime you’ll need to print out these documents or export them to PDFs. Whenever videos end up in a static format we removed the play button to make sure it’s out of the way of the thumbnail.

Playing videos inside Word is a great experience

We wanted to ensure that consuming videos in Word was a simple and compelling experience. We support the latest web standards like Flash, Silverlight, and HTML5. This makes it easy to play most videos you find online. With a click or tap of the play button the reader is instantly immersed in the video.

We chose this approach over playing the videos inline because videos are typically 640 x 360 pixels or larger which takes up about 85% of the width of a typical document. Allowing the thumbnail of the video to be independent from the playback size provides the flexibility to place the video where you want while still being able to play the video at its original size.

Note that if you share a document containing a video with others and they open it in a previous version of Word, or in the Word Web App, they’ll still be able to watch the video because the thumbnail is linked to the original video source (which will play in in their browser).

Tabs for Windows Explorer

Lifehacker: Clover2 (h/t Future Lawyer)

Clover Brings Chrome-Style Tabs to Windows Explorer

Windows: Tab management in Chrome is great, and if you wish Windows Explorer had tabs that look and work like Google Chrome, Clover is the app for you.

Once installed, Windows Explorer will have tabs that work almost exactly like the ones in Chrome work. Cntrl+T opens a new tab, Ctrl+W closes it, even middle-clicking to close a tab works. There's even a new tab box to click for a fresh explorer tab—just like in Chrome. If you right-click on a tab, you even get the same contextual menu options, including the option to re-open a closed tab, duplicate an existing tab, or pin a tab to the back of the list.

Clover is completely free, and supports Windows XP and higher (including the Windows 8 RTM.) We tested the app in Windows 7 and it works great. The tabbed interface is snappy and fast, and the tabbed interface compliments the stock explorer UI. The developer's site is in Chinese, but he has an English page on his site (linked below.) To download the app, hit this Google Translate link for the front page and click "Download" (you may have to leave Google Translate to start the download.) update: Softpedia has a mirror of the app if you can't get to Ejie's site.
