Lichte en discrete headset van Plantronics

Met een gewicht van 7 gram is de Marque 2 Plantronics lichtste Bluetooth headset. Je kan ermee luisteren naar muziek, films of gps-instructies en tegelijkertijd gesprekken aannemen of weigeren zonder een toets in te drukken door ‘Answer’ of ‘Ignore’ uit te spreken. De Marque 2 heeft dubbele microfoons die ruis en geluiden veroorzaakt door de wind minimaliseren.

De nieuwe Bluetooth headset van Plantronics heeft een DeepSleep-modus waardoor de batterij volgens de fabrikant tot 180 dagen meegaat zonder tussentijds op te laden. Plantronics levert de Marque 2 met een 2-in-1 oplader die de headset en telefoon gelijktijdig kan opladen via een computer of in de auto. Het batterijniveau van de headset wordt ook weergegeven op de iPhone of Android-telefoon.

Met de gratis Find MyHeadset app kan je bovendien de headset terugvinden als ze is zoekgeraakt, ook als ze uitstaat. Als de Marque 2 aanstaat kan je een toon versturen zodat je kan horen waar de headset ligt. Als de headset uitstaat, kan je met de BackTrack-functie de datum, tijd en dankzij Google de locatie laten weergeven van de laatste keren dat je de headset hebt gebruikt.

A big problem is that the municipal government cannot access data held by jurisdictions outside Ontario, meaning it can’t learn the name or address of a vehicle’s owner to collect the outstanding fine.

The city has canvassed “worst offender” areas, including Michigan, Ohio, New York and Quebec, for information-sharing agreements, but many governments cite privacy issues, Fabrizi said.

In 2006, Toronto began purchasing licence information from provinces or states for about $7 a plate. The pilot project netted around $10,000 but cost approximately $12,000. It was scrapped after a year.

The city has also considered hiring collection agencies for individual drivers like Guluk, who have racked up thousands in unpaid tickets. But Fabrizi claimed the costs of employing a collection agency outweighed the total owed and “it simply made no sense.”

The pay-back rate for in-province tickets, about 82 per cent, is among the highest in North America thanks to Ontario’s plate denial system, which halts licence renewal for cars with unpaid tickets. But Fabrizi said a reciprocal arrangement with other jurisdictions would be difficult, since few others have the plate denial program.

The thinking is that tourists inject more money into the city than the average $30 parking ticket, Fabrizi said.

He adds that it would be a slippery slope determining which out-of-province offenders warrant using a collection agency or other aggressive means to make drivers pay.

“We take the approach that all out-of-province plate holders get the exemption, based on the better good of the city,” he said.Argo Mold limited specialize in Plastic injection mould manufacture,

The city is aware that some offenders are not just stopping in for the weekend (“The one I know, his girlfriend lives here,We specialize in howo concrete mixer, so he comes here for months at a time,” Fabrizi said.The term 'hands free access control' means the token that identifies a user is read from within a pocket or handbag.) Other big offenders are commercial trucks from outside of Ontario.

But in the overall parking scheme, out-of-province tickets make up a small portion of Toronto’s total — 115,000 out of 2.8 million, or just under 5 per cent — so council has opted not to pursue anyone, Fabrizi said.

The city will occasionally tow out-of-province vehicles with tickets, but generally officials only tow when a vehicle is impeding pedestrian or vehicular travel. And unlike what’s seen in the reality TV show Parking Wars, officials would never boot a vehicle (locking the car in place with a wheel clamp) due to mischief laws, Fabrizi said.

The out-of-province free-for-all may have an end in sight, however. By late next year or early 2014, council will vote on the use of automated hand-held devices to provide up-to-date information about repeat offenders.

Information about cars with unpaid parking tickets would be uploaded to officers’ devices each day, similar to a system already in place for stolen vehicles.

Fabrizi said.

But until then, out-of-province scofflaws will face no consequences — something Guluk says is only fair in his situation.
