Sony Ambie Wireless Ear Buds

Ross from Silverdale

Experience Wireless Earphones – Re-invented

Ambie corporation, a Sony spin-off joint venture, set its sights on creating “earcuffs” that could transform how users experienced day-to-day life. Design played a vital role in adopting a user-oriented stance and making that vision a reality.

Headphones go over your ears, virtually shutting out ambient noise. When you use earbuds, also, it’s hard to hear anything besides your tunes. Now, imagine getting a personal music experience without actually putting anything over or in your ears. That’s the unprecedented experience at the heart of “ambie sound earcuffs,” which let users add a musical accompaniment to their day-to-day activities—and still hear the people and things around them.

Description

Ambie are wireless earphones that does not block your ears completely.
With their comfortable ergonomic shape that you can wear them all day long and they become more like an accessory or jewellery to adorn your ears..

For work and play, overlapping surrounding sounds with ambie music enhances everyday life.

Animal Abuser

Lois from Red Beach

🚨 URGENT WARNING TO ALL LOST & FOUND / PET REHOMING PAGES 🚨 and people rehoming pets or reporting lost animals.

It has come to our attention that a long-term, repeat animal abuser is still actively obtaining animals through Facebook groups.

The type of animal does not matter — birds, livestock, dogs, small pets — anything he can access.

He monitors rehoming pages. He approaches people offering “help.” He presents as reasonable. He will say the right things.

Do not give this person any animals under any circumstances.

If you are an admin of a lost & found page, a community group, or a pet rehoming group:

• Please stay vigilant
• Check profiles carefully
• Share this warning across your networks

Animals have already paid the price for people not knowing.
If you are unsure about someone requesting an animal, ask rescue groups to help.
