HTC’s U11 handset has unexpectedly been awarded “Best overall” Android smartphone under US$700 in a product comparison by technology Web site Android Central. The U11 scored highly for its ease of use, its camera and its external design.
In addition to the “Best overall” category bagged by the HTC U11, Android Central awarded the Google Pixel as “Best for updates,” the LG G6 was awarded “Best for single hands,” while the OnePlus 5 scooped the “Best for less” category.
Android Central said that while the award might take some readers by surprise, it proves that HTC is well and truly back. Although the U11 doesn’t have the super-sized screen of the Galaxy S8 or LG G6, Android Central says the U11 more than makes up for this with its practicality, smooth super-operation and ─ according to the reviewer ─ probably the best smartphone camera on the market today. As for the phone’s glass rear cover, while being a magnet for fingerprints, the Web site hailed the cover as a “work of art.”

Their charm lies in the paper-thin flour wrapper that needs to be folded evenly almost 20 times. Folding a tangbao requires skill to deal with a bulging filling and a thin wrapper. Tangbao are served in a bamboo steamer in which they are steamed, not only adding to the visual appearance, but ensuring they do not get cold before reaching the table. The best way to enjoy a tangbao is to dip it in a mixture of vinegar and soy sauce with
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced a seismic change in direction on March 19, hiking interest rates for the first time in 17 years. The move represents an unwinding of an ultra-loose — and maverick -- policy aimed at putting Japan’s “lost decades” of stagnation and deflation behind it. The last time the BoJ raised interest rates was in 2007, but its war against deflation began in earnest in 2013 under then-prime minister Shinzo Abe. “Abenomics” combined generous government spending and central bank monetary easing. The BoJ spent vast amounts on bonds and other assets to pump liquidity into the

The FCC had asked Dish Network to move one of its older satellites, EchoStar-7, 186 miles further from the Earth. However, the satellite had only advanced 76 miles before it ran out of fuel at the end of its operational life in 2022.
