【推荐2】Looking for your next culture fix? Here are some must-see exhibitions that need to be on your radar.

It showcases potter (陶艺师) Lucie Rie’s ground-breaking practice across six decades. The potter was a key figure in British post-war art, having moved away in 1938 from Vienna. Her technical innovations permanently extended the language of studio pottery. Her achievements range from functional tableware to elegant bowls and vases decorated with sgraffito.

It’s the first show to explore the relationship between Leon Kossoff, whose thickly applied paint landscapes of post-war London are well known, and Paris trained artist Chaim Soutine. Kossoff discovered Soutine’s works in the early 1950s and was greatly influenced by it. The two artists shared an Eastern European Jewish heritage, and both created excellent works from the stuff of everyday life.

It examines the political power of luxury goods in the Middle East and Southeast Europe between 550-30 BC. This was a period when the Persian Empire was in conflict with the cities and kingdoms of Greece before being occupied by Alexander the Great. Loans to the exhibition include the Panagyurishte Treasure from Bulgaria.

On tour from the National Museums Scotland, Audubon’s Birds of America examines the artistry and legacy of one of the world’s rarest, most coveted and largest books. Published as a series between 1827 and 1838, and nearly 1 metre high, Birds of America by John James Audubon achieved international renown due to its epic scale and the book’s spectacular, large-scale ornithological illustrations. Compton Verney’s grounds are a wildlife shelter, so make the perfect setting for the show.

The earphones have six microphones and deliver a clear, crisp voice. They also let you change the default button functions on the earphones, which is excellent for runners who tend to touch the earphones while running. Thanks to the button, the earphones don’t move, even on sweaty runs, and they’re also water- and sweat-proof.

The pairs perfectly with any smartphone model have top-quality noise cancellation (取消). The earphones connect automatically when you take the earphones out of the slim charging case. It takes some time to adjust to the different tap commands and positions, but after some field testing, everything feels natural.

We love how quickly the earphones pair with our devices, including several laptops and smartphones—we don’t even need to refer to the instructions. They are extremely comfortable, even after hours of continuous use. The sound quality is also excellent.

The makers take the already successful earphones pros and upgrade nearly every aspect in the second generation. Sound is crisp and clear, whether listening to music or podcasts, or while on a call. The portable case also gets an upgrade.

Designed and produced by Chinese maker Changzhou Xili Car Industry, Changli, and Changli Nemeca is a small electric car that has got lots of attention online after being advertised as the world's most affordable electric car. Calling this thing a car is kind of stretching it a bit, as its electric motor can only produce 1.16 horsepower, and it has a top speed of only 30. km/h. Still, it does come with some interesting features, like air-conditioning, independent suspension, heater, radio and even reverse-view camera. But the most impressive thing about Changli in my opinion, is that you can have it sent to your doorstep.

Anyone who can just order Changli Nemeca online can have it mailed to them without having to pay extra money to the dealership. Changli measures 2.5 meters long, 1.5 meter wide, and 1.8 meters high, weighs 323 kilograms and can carry up to 30 kilograms.

The two-seat version starts at $ 930($ 1,200 with larger batteries), but you can choose a three-seat version as well, which will cost you $ 1,50. The battery of the small electric car is between 40 and 10 kilometers per charge and the batteries take between 7 and 10 hours to charge.

While Changli Nemeca won't be going head to head with other electric cars anytime soon it's still an amazing piece of machinery for the price. Where else are you going to find full functional electric cars that you can have mailed to your door.

【推荐3】Whether it’s a supermarket or a car commercial, many of the prices you experience are likely to have something in common. Prices are more likely to end in .99 more than any other pair of numbers — and certainly more than the even .00. We probably don’t think twice about buying something for $5.99 or $16.99, but it is a little strange when you think about it. Why aren’t prices just even dollar amounts? Is it a carefully organized marketing plan to get you to spend more?

Well, basically … yes. But there’s really nothing that is carefully planned about it. It’s actually pretty simple. “It’s a type of psychological (心理的) pricing,” says Julie Ramhold, a consumer (消费者) expert. “Because we read from left to right, we pay less attention to the end of the number versus the beginning.” This is especially effective if you’re just quickly reading several prices in a row. Therefore, the first number will definitely stand out to you more.

Of course, we still know that $9.99 is basically ten dollars, not nine dollars. But the $.99 trick takes advantage of the way our brains process prices. When we see a price of $9.99, we associate it as part of the $9-$9.99 range rather than the $10-$10.99 range. “Consumers don’t want to go beyond a certain type, so even a penny less may make a huge psychological difference,” explains Subimal Chatterjee, a successful and respected teaching professor of Marketing at Binghamton University School of Management.

This strategy is especially effective when it’s a change in the number of digits (数位). $99.99 is just inside the two-digits range, so it seems like a score … even though you basically are paying a hundred dollars. And, of course, the sellers are getting the most money they possibly could within that lower range, because 99 cents is only a cent below the higher range.
