However, it’s the software that’s Honor 8C’s biggest Achilles’ Heel. No matter how you slice it, EMUI isn’t among the best. Animations are slow, there are a lot of duplicate apps, and whatnot. EMUI is visually-inconsistent as well; some icons are circular in shape, others are square, while some are square with rounded corners. The same goes for the notification shade and individual notification cards. To top things off, the Honor 8C comes with a slew of bloatware apps (e.g. AppGallery, Camera360), and some of them can’t be uninstalled.

Woodline cases come in American Cherry, Rosewood, Zebra and American Walnut, and cost $49.95 in various Amazon searches (unless you want the latter, in which case it’s $59.95). — John Brownlee

We’re almost done on our tour of the Nolan helmet factory. Once the helmets are painted and the clear coat has been applied, they pass various stations to have the face shields, internal visors and other parts installed.

According to Pearlman, the haute-casual dining trend also helps restaurateurs run bigger and more successful businesses. Constructing interiors out of hard surfaces makes them easier (and thus cheaper) to clean. Eschewing ornate decor, linens, table settings, and dishware makes for fewer items to wash or replace. Reducing table service means fewer employees and thus lower overhead. And as many writers have noted, loud restaurants also encourage profitable dining behavior. Noise encourages increased alcohol consumption and produces faster diner turnover. More people drinking more booze produces more revenue. Knowing this, some restaurateurs even make their establishments louder than necessary in an attempt to maximize profits.

The orchard’s wood planks stretched out in front of him, thick and wide, with raw edges. When the owner poured acetone over one board, its winding, dark brown grain floated like magic to the surface—just as it would look when it was sanded and varnished.

The video illustrates this process and I was amazed at the skill and dedication of the staff applying these beautiful designs to the Nolan helmets.

The advanced chassis of the Range Rover Velar offers the ultimate in comfort, dynamics and capability across a variety of terrains and weather conditions. The sophisticated double-wishbone front suspension follows sports car design principles, with knuckles and bearings engineered for particularly high stiffness to deliver exemplary steering and handling response and precision. Aluminum is used extensively to save weight, while steel front lower control arms provide maximum durability in challenging off-road conditions.

Shruti Jaipuria of the Bangalore-based Maia Design Studio helmed the interiors of Toast & Tonic, has devised a striking feature for the walls and roof with the chipboard finish that stretches all through the ceiling and pillars of the restaurant. The eye takes in the marble floors inlaid with brass and wall surfaces treated with peanut shells to create texture–there’s synchronicity and symmetry in the visual palette, which continues with the furniture and seating (tan frames and buff upholstery for that chic touch).

Large alloy wheels – in particular the range of 22-inch designs – optimize the vehicle’s stunning silhouette, while further enhancing the dramatic presence of the vehicle.

Traditionally, I haven’t been a huge fan of Spigen’s Neo Hybrid line. The Neo Hybrids I had for both my Nexus 5 and Galaxy Note III had their plastic frames crack upon impact. Cases are supposed to protect phones, but they shouldn’t self-destruct when dropped. But with the Neo Hybrid ‘Herringbone’ for the Pixel 2 XL, the quality seems to have been taken up a notch.

In a Land Rover-first, the Terrain Response systems are accessed not through a dedicated controller but using the driver’s reconfigurable infotainment system rotary controller, or directly through the touchscreen itself. This intelligent system integration contributes to the clean, uncluttered design of the center console.

"This is the only question on this list we can answer definitively—yes, you need flood insurance. Before Harvey, many realtors said it was only necessary when it came to certain parts of town, certain types of homes, or certain areas in the flood plain. ‘That’s about the opposite of what the message should be,’ says Caroline Schlemmer, an agent with Greenwood King."
