Visiting the NYC Time Warner Medialab
The Time Warner Medialab is New York’s state-of-the-art research lab focus on consumer behavior across the content spectrum! All the research done in this building allows Time Warner and its key partners an opportunity to understand consumer insights from media, all the way through retail environment as well.
The Medialab, as TW calls the space, is based on the company’s Manhattan Time Warner Center headquarters and exists to, in official terms, “[incorporate] cutting-edge technologies and research techniques [to provide] an unmatched ability to test consumer engagement throughout the entire 360° media-to-retail experience.” Complete with biometric monitoring and eye-tracking capabilities, as well as focus group space for the old-fashioned analysts out there and broadcast capabilities to finetune test content, the massive location includes retail space, video game stations, an “in-home living-room simulation” and a 50-seat screening space to best sample product in a variety of settings. According to the project’s official website, “In order to foster the company’s continued growth as a progressive supplier of engaging content, Time Warner and its core divisions–HBO, Time Inc., Turner, and Warner Bros.–consider the Medialab an essential instrument in understanding consumer behavior, evolving media habits, and industry trends.”
I had the chance to visit the Time Warner Medialab in Columbus Circle in New York City this week!
The first place worth mentioning is the testing studio. When you enter the Studio One, you can see one large screen and one computer screen showing the same content. A guy in the camera was shown on the screen, and there are lines linking red dots on jumping around the whole screen, which means the direction your eyesight goes. In the real world, that is used by a track which part of the screen can attract people’s attention when they are watching. On the other, second-screen apps that complement the TV viewing experience can heighten people’s response to the advertising and programming.
The next room we went to is the Control Room. That is where Time Warner conducts the tests for their media products. Different focus groups of people will be invited to take the interview and finish surveys. The whole control room is neat with a clean table of-of bunch chairs, but there are some interesting secrets under that. If you squat to see the bottom side of the table, you will see eight displayers hiding in there. Because of that design, instruments can hide well under the neat appearance.
The Time Warner is a terrific place for the media business. It can let the media company know how consumers engage with content and enable testing with the latest devices and distribution platform.

NYC Hot Sauce Expo brings the Heat to Brooklyn – Hey! Let’s Lit This Summer
I recently had the pleasure of attending the 6th Annual NYC Hot Sauce Expo and while there I had the opportunity to sample countless hot sauces from large and small purveyors around the world.
It was an intense afternoon and one where nearly everyone was sweating conspicuously while seeking out free milk, and cold cocktails, to help drown out the fiercely hot sauces that everyone was there to try.
Whether you’re already a die-hard hot sauce aficionado or you’re new to the spicier side of foodie-life, these are the three hot sauce brands that I had never heard of which you will want to try.
Magic Sauce by Cobra Chilli out of Queensland, Australia. This Asian style sauce is so amazing and tasty and has been described as “liquid umami” – it’s their Best Seller.
The first five seconds in your mouth, you will taste all of the ingredients – the soy, the sesame oil, the onion, ginger and garlic and even the Carolina Reaper – but without the heat. Then the heat will kick in but will only really last for about 15 seconds. It will then dissipate, leaving you with the fantastic flavors of all the natural ingredients. Wow – magic.
Wham, Bam, Spice & Ham! It’s Carolina Reaper bacon hot sauce. What more could you want from a hot sauce? It is the world’s hottest pepper combined with bacon. It is super spicy and great tasting!
This delicious combination of Carolina Reaper and Bacon will awaken your senses.
It would be great to use these two awesome hot sauces for a great BBQ party night at July 4th with the beautiful fireworks. I know this summer has been pretty hot already, but why not to make it a little bit even more spicier? Because summer is the BBQ season, let’s go fun!

First Aid for Broken Bones and Fractures
Bones are the essential part of our skeleton which helps in locomotion from one place to another and other movements as well. But when these bones get broken or fractured due to extra unbearable pressure on them, severe pain is experienced by the person. Under such conditions, it becomes difficult to move for even short distances. If you or any of your friend come across such episode you should have an idea about the necessary actions that must be taken at that time for first aid :
- Place the Person to Bed Immediately
A bone fracture could happen due to multiple reasons, like injury during sports or when you are doing some other work. Suppose you get a fracture while running on the track, the first thing you need to do is to shift yourself to the bed but without moving the fractured bone much. You can do that by taking the help of someone near you. Visit urgent care near me for further treatment by the expert and professional doctors.
- Do not Move the Affected Bone
Moving a fractured bone too often can cause serious problems, more it is accompanied by severe pain. When you are lying on the bed, make sure that you do not rush here and there for the things like your directory of contacts to search the number of the doctor. For this purpose, you can take the help from someone in your surrounding.
- Cover the fractured bones that Protrude Out of the Skin
Fractures are of two types, one in which bones get cracked into two or three parts but still they do not move from their original place, and the other types are that which gets dislocated from their initial position and sometimes even protrudes out of the skin by causing injury and bleeding in the skin surface. If your damage resembles to somewhat like this try to cover the wounded surface with a bandage or something like that so that blood does not ooze out and bone could be resisted by excessive movement.
- Ice Therapy
This is the most efficient way of reducing the bleeding caused by skin injury in dislocation types of fractures. Rubbing ice cubes on the affected site minimize the area of cross-action as a result of which blood capillaries contract and less blood ooze out from the injury. This therapy of lowering bleeding and pain as well is prevalent since ages and proved out to be very useful in many cases.
- Call the Physician
Above described steps are performed at home, but to rush the patient for hospital urgent care Hoboken is very crucial. This is because the only doctor can provide the actual severe treatment for recovery from the fracture.
