Hot shoe adapter for Sony NEX-5 and NEX-5N gets the hands-on treatment

The Sony NEX-7 we reviewed last month is the only cam from the NEX line to include a hot shoe for attaching an external flash, but NEX Proshop just introduced an unofficial workaround for the NEX-5N and NEX-5, a hot shoe adapter that will ship for $79.99. Engadget Chinese got to handle a unit and gave it a spin on the NEX-5N. In addition to allowing for an external flash, the adapter lets you automatically sync with the internal one, with the recommended max shutter speed being 1/ 250s. Our sister site's hands-on version didn't allow for tightening the screw position with a coin, which resulted in the adapter coming a bit loose -- so perhaps this isn't the exact model that will ship. Hop on over to the original post for more photos.

Entertainment News, Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News ? Short ...

Other than a fairly crucial commitment to brevity, what is it that makes a short story a short story? As the 2012 edition of the world?s richest prize for the form ? the ?30,000 Sunday Times EFG Private Bank Short Story Award ? comes to a conclusion, I spoke with this year?s shortlist to get their own insights into the art and craft of writing short fiction.

Emma Donoghue, the Irish writer whose novel Room became an international bestseller, makes the shortlist for ?The Hunt?, a disturbing tale set during the American War of Independence. ?It?s inspired by a snippet of history? she says, ?as my stories and novels often are: in this case, a passing reference in a historical study to a mass rape that happened in 1776.?

What is that she thinks attracts authors to the form? ?Writers often love writing short stories because they are small worlds: big while we?re inside them, and offering all the satisfaction of researching and shaping a novel but in miniature, without the years of commitment. Romances rather than marriages??

Tom Lee?s story, ?The Current?, examines the altered and sometimes strained relationship between father and son after the father has had treatment for a mysterious illness. Like Donoghue, he also finds the required level of focus attractive and so far he has written and published only short stories: ?I like the concentration and intensity of it. I like that they tend to be suggestive, allusive and unresolved. I like that you can write something and if it doesn?t work you haven?t spent three or more years of your life killing yourself over it.?

Linda Oatman High?s ?Nickel Mines Hardware? considers the devastating effects of a high-school shooting on a traditional Amish community. She is a lifelong resident of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. ?I was inspired to write the story after covering the Amish school shootings of 2006 for a newspaper in Lancaster and another one in Scotland. My husband?s grandparents were Amish, and so I felt a personal connection to the people and their tragic loss.?

What does she think distinguishes short stories from the novel? ?Writing short stories differs from writing full-length fiction in that the writing feels more poetic to me. The story must be told and resolved in a concise manner, and every word matters.?

Jean Kwok also feels that there is something in the creation of a short story that distances it from the process of novel writing: ?Short stories are an illuminating and extremely difficult art form. Although many people think short stories are easier than novels, there are many ways in which short stories are more challenging. Because of the limited length, every sentence in a short story has to count, every scene has to add to the whole. There is more room for error in a novel. Furthermore, short stories explore the multitude of shadows in every writer?s heart.?

Her story, ?Where the Gods Fly?, is certainly drawn from that shadowy place. It explores the hardships and choices that migrant families must face as they look to make a new life. Jean herself made the migrant?s journey from Hong Kong to Brooklyn when she was five and worked in a Chinatown clothing factory for much of her childhood.

Advocates for the short story have long stressed that the form has its own integrity and identity. But there is no doubt that writing short fiction can also be a valuable testing ground for ideas, styles and approaches that sometimes grow or morph into longer works: ??Where the Gods Fly? was my first foray into weaving together the themes of art, cultural differences and poverty? says Kwok. ?It taught me a great deal and my next novel is also about a Chinese girl who becomes a professional dancer. It is a completely different story from this one but it shares the same roots.?

The Irish short story writer and novelist Kevin Barry?s shortlisted story, ?Beer Trip to Llandudno?, follows a tight-knit group of ale-obsessed men travelling from Liverpool to Llandudno for their latest bittersweet tasting trip.

Barry explains the extreme fragility of a short story as it comes into existence. ?A short story is a high wire act. Every sentence is a step along the line, and you can fall off and break your neck at any moment. It is a tighter Hale Bob Dresses, more controlled and in many ways more difficult form than the novel ? you?re working with your breath held, almost, as you try to engineer this very delicate contraption. Most stories wind up in pieces on the floor.?

But if where they end up is precarious, the origin of many short stories is equally fractured and mysterious. And just because the form is short, doesn?t necessarily mean that the investment in research is any less serious. Welsh novelist and poet Robert Minhinnick?s story, ?El Aziz: Some Pages From His Notebooks?, charts the progress of an Iraqi man who makes his way across Europe to the UK where he becomes a care home worker.

Here Minhinnick explains a little about the complex origins of the story: ?In 1998 I was helping make a film about depleted uranium. It involved interviews with US and UK soldiers who had fought in the first Gulf War, and with Navajo and Hopi miners who actually dug out the uranium in Arizona. Our team decided to go to Iraq to film first-hand the impacts of the war. This was the time of the UN embargo on trade DKNY Clothes, so entry to Iraq was very difficult. We flew to Amman then took the bus across ?Badiet Esh Sham? ? the Syrian desert.?

Alongside this challenging trip, Minhinnick also drew inspiration from his father-in-law?s experiences in the care system as well as his own travels around Andalusia, and the result is a short story that weaves current political conerns with the personal, the biographical, the historical and the mythical.

Having heard from the six shortlisted authors, it?s perhaps right to leave the last word with Joanna Trollope who, as well as being on the judging panel for The Sunday Times EFG Private Bank Short Story Award, is also the Chair of judges for the Orange Prize for Fiction:

?Short stories are notoriously difficult to pull off successfully, needing ? as they do ? to involve the readers during reading as well as to leave them with something to reflect on afterwards, and all in only a few thousand words.?

You can read the shortlisted stories in an anthology published by Waterstones available to purchase in store and through waterstones.com. The winner will be announced on Friday 30 March.

Screenfeeder Is A Gorgeous Way To Display Social Feeds On Your iPhone, iPad Or TV

Screenfeeder is a gorgeous new app for the iPhone, iPad or TV (via Apple TV's AirPlay), which displays your social feeds on the screen from services like Twitter, Foursquare, Instagram and Dribble.

The idea may not be as practical for serious news watchers who follow thousands of accounts, sorted into multiple lists, but for the everyday user whose tweets flow a bit slower, Screenfeeder offers an attractive interface to view them in.

10 Ways to Diversify Your Online Marketing | Business 2 Community

You are probably already using online marketing to get your business message to your target audience. But as online consumption continues to grow and channels continue to multiply, your local business must incorporate a wide variety of online marketing tactics in order to reach consumers in the many places they search, surf, and socialize online. Here are 10 easy ways to diversify your online marketing in order to optimize your presence across the Web.

1. Combine Search Advertising with SEO?
Studies have shown that running paid search engine advertising alongside a search engine optimization strategy can increase clicks to your site. So, if you?re just using one of these search engine marketing tactics, you?re missing out on visits to your site from potential customers.

2. Create a YouTube Channel & Add Videos
Creating and uploading videos to YouTube is an easy way to increase your ability to get found in search. And, since YouTube is a Google product, YouTube videos get great real estate in its search results.? With over 4 billion videos being viewed on the site each day, video is one of the most consumed forms of online media. Plus, videos have been shown to lengthen a consumers? time on a website and increase their likelihood to purchase.

3. Start a Business Blog
Create a platform to tell your brand?s story, and employ a content marketing strategy to help you build awareness, acquire customers, generate leads, and increase customer loyalty. A business blog is a great way to showcase your industry expertise, share useful tips, highlight community involvement, and more. And using SEO best practices will help it rank in search engines. Plus, sharing blog posts on your social media profiles can help you drive engagement and word of mouth with your fans and followers.

4. Leverage Compelling Infographics
Using infographics in your marketing can help you drive engagement and social sharing with your audiences on your blog or social media outposts. Creating an infographic from scratch can be a daunting task, but you can easily re-share an existing infographic (just remember to cite the original source!), or use an app like Wordle or Visual.ly to create a custom infographic about your business.

5. Retarget Your Website Visitors
Website retargeting, or remarketing, is a cost-effective way to target visitors who may have left your website without converting and drive them back to your site. Because this technique targets consumers who have already shown interest in your business by visiting your website, remarketing can lift conversions on your site, boosting your online marketing efforts.

6. Boost Awareness with Display Advertising
Another way to boost your advertising efforts is with display advertising. This advertising technique reaches consumers where they spend most of their time online ? browsing websites ? so it builds brand awareness with a broad range of consumers who may not be actively searching for your business.

7.?Incorporate Mobile in Your Marketing
Now that over 100 million people in the U.S. use smartphones and 80% of searches conducted on mobile devices are for local products and services, it makes sense to have a mobile marketing plan to reach these on-the-go consumers. Some mobile marketing options to consider include SMS marketing, mobile search, display advertising, QR codes, social media marketing, and more.

8. Create a Foursquare Special
To attract and engage local consumers in your area, consider joining Foursquare and creating a special customers can take advantage of. By offering a discount for new or existing customers and sharing it across the Web, you can drive a stream of revenue and generate new customers for your business.

9. Establish a Business Page on Google Plus
You may already have business profiles on top social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, but you can also create a business page on Google Plus to start sharing content. Once you?ve set up your Page, here are some tricks and shortcuts to help you optimize your posts.

10. Market your Business on Pinterest
According to comScore, Pinterest had around 17.8 million visitors at the end of February, with a 52% increase in growth from January to February, making it the third most popular social media site in the U.S. Due to its design, share-worthy content, and accessibility, Pinterest has become an ?addictive? site, with users spending 98 minutes per month on the site. This makes it prime online real estate for you to reach social networkers who show interest in the types of products and services you deliver.

Incorporating all of these marketing tactics might not be feasible for your business, so it?s important to understand your audience and the types of marketing they will respond to. Then, add some of those methods into your marketing strategy to optimize your Web presence and boost the results of your online marketing efforts.
