A system that did not need Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity to be fully operational.Our requirements for a new system were as follows:Ī collection of “home-grown” alarm system parts previously employed by the Childresses. But, our handyman security left too many blind spots and kept us home to play security guards instead of seeing the world we sailed so far to see. In the past few years, we got by with cheap wireless cameras and burglar alarms, both packaged and home-brewed. Camera equipment, stereos, computers, outboard engines - we could be ruined by what thieves could grab in just half an hour. We felt that investing in a serious anti-theft system would be cheap insurance the value of one moderate chartplotter exceeds the price of one great security system. And when word gets around that we were robbed, and that we were then able to go out and replace those things a month later because we “need them,” a message is communicated that most of us can afford to quickly replace these items. We are often in locations where purchasing locally or flying in replacements is a near impossible or expensive task. Losing them is not just a financial hit but also one that can endanger our safety and ability to sail onward. Unfortunately, the very things that many of us barely afford and appear like fancy toys to those on shore, are actually for safety - from navigation consoles, satellite phones and fishfinders, to laptops and iPads. ![]() Opportunistic thieves may think that most yachties have possessions to spare. In so many ways, YouTube channels and generous yachties worldwide advertise the relative wealth on board sailboats. Innocence is waning though over the recent years, tightening of security on cruising sailboats has been a trend.Įven modest sailboats like ours are a treasure ship when viewed from the life of many villagers. People ashore lock their homes and cars, and have security alarms and services, yet many sailboats leave hatches open and doors unlocked while blissfully asleep in paradise. Otherwise, many of us will pay the price. It is time for cruisers, not just superyachts, to take the lead from landlubbers and beef up security aboard our boats. This year, our “insurance budget” paid for installing a real marine security system to protect our equipment and us from people who may be determined to carry our things away.ĭinghy outboards have always been targets, as have cellphones and cash, but now thieves are also very interested in marine electronics, scuba gear and other treasures found on most cruising sailboats - not to mention the boat itself. Rather than paying an insurance premium, we put that money into upgrading and maintaining our boat in a seaworthy condition. ![]() But we feel one’s luck runs out at some point, and the worst will eventually happen. Sailing around the world for more than 12 years, through more than 50 countries, it seems we have been lucky to have not lost anything to thieves.

![]() Looking back, I loved it and hope others have the same fond memories Kelsey Varty, Ulen, Minn. I remember a lot of family dogs howled along with the whistle too. As long as we were in the driveway before it stopped all was good. I remember peddling our bikes as fast as we could across town to their houses to beat the whistle. Nine was the curfew whistle for the younger kids or older kids on the weekdays. But when I did spend time in town, my friends usually had to "check-in" or come home to eat lunch and supper at noon and 6 p.m. We lived a few miles out of town and could still hear it at home.Wanda Peterson, Carson, N.D., she remembers the whistle blowing at noon and 10 p.m.) It would be a nostalgic sound of a much simpler time and place. The town police officer drove around in his pickup to make sure kids went home. For us farm kids we knew we had better be getting home before the 10 p.m. Hearing it blow now makes me think of being a kid running around and playing outside with friends and how everyone scattered when the whistle would blow - MaKell Pauling-Normandin, Edgeley, N.D., the whistle blew at noon, 6 p.m. Growing up we knew when the whistle blew we better get home to eat and check in.All the cool older kids got to stay out to play “spotlight” after the 10:00 whistle - Ashley Samuelson, Edmore N.If the wind was from the east, we could hear it at our farm three miles west of town! - Nancy Bjerke, Valley City, N.D., whistle sounded at noon, 6 and 10 p.m. It was a way to let kids know it was time to be home to eat and then curfew at 10.I would welcome the whistle reminders! - Deb Jean, Rothsay, Minn. It was always a part of life for many years. On reflection, I think it was a subtle reminder to stop and be present. The whistle was great!! No matter where we were playing.What you said about growing up with daily town whistles Check out the collection and bring a bit of the French Riviera home with you this summer.

A character actually inspired his rap name. One of his childhood favorites is The Warriors, based on the 1979 movie. “I play games for like, 18 hours a day,” Cochise admits. ![]() Instead of music, video games absorbed much of his time at that age-and they still do. As he grew older, the rhymer applied his experienced ear for percussion by producing jerk beats until “it eventually turned lame.”Ī 12-year-old Cochise later recorded for the first time over Meek Mill’s “House Party” beat, but it never surfaced outside of being sent to his friends. “Listening to Tyler made me make sure that I could be myself rather than trying to be somebody else,” Cochise shares. He soon discovered Tyler, The Creator’s music as a pre-teen and gained some internal reassurance. Hip-hop wasn’t too distant, as Cochise’s dad was into “real rap” and gave his son an MP3 player filled with trailblazers like Grandmaster Flash, The Sugarhill Gang and Afrika Bambaataa.Īfter his parents divorced and dad wasn’t in the house, Cochise was no longer shielded from hip-hop’s rawest and newest talents. Outside of his creative stretches in elementary school, Cochise, the seed of a Barbadian father and Jamaican mother, came up bumping reggae greats Buju Banton, Barrington Levy and Beenie Man. “I started really being decent at like, 6 or 7,” he remembers. His upbringing in the Christian church is where he would put his drum practice on display after Sunday service. Pots and pans doubled as his first drum set to bang on. The rap newcomer began feeding his appetite to create at the age of 4. Cochise has been prepping for this moment since he was a toddler. He’s plotting on securing his next banger, and it feels as if it likely won’t take long to get. “I’m definitely thankful and blessed for the area that we covered with that song,” says Cochise, born Terrell Cox, over Zoom this past October. 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart-the first entry for both artists-and racked up over 128 million streams on Spotify. The rising artist soared higher in 2021, with the $not-assisted “Tell Em,” a flossy record perfect for the soundtrack of a post-pandemic summer for those who were back outside. Cochise’s trademark high-pitched delivery carries the track, reflective of how one would sound if they inhaled a balloon of helium. The 22-year-old rapper’s song “Hatchback” made splashes on TikTok in 2020, with millions of users shimmying and twisting to the first few lines of his verse. The pool of talent in Florida is overflowing, but Cochise, a native of Palm Bay, is floating on a wave of his own.

Most notably, we've finally got Dolby Vision on this Roku stick, so your favorite streaming shows will have the right color balance and contrast (provided your TV supports it, too). The king stays the king, though, because little changed - and only improvements came with. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is a small, but noteworthy, upgrade over the Streaming Stick Plus it replaces. The best streaming devices you can find today ![]() It's faster than the normal Fire TV Stick 4K, and costs only $5 more. Oh, and then there's the latest entry to this list is the new Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max. We love the Apple TV 4K, but its price is prohibitively costly. It's the best streaming device for people who want an ad-free experience, something you don't see on other devices. Then there's the new Apple TV 4K (2021), a super-speedy update with a new remote with a clickable direction-pad. We just wish the Chromecast with Google TV's home screen were better, as it's a bit congested with stuff and the recommendations for what to watch and how to catch up can improve. On top of that, Android TV app support, via Google TV, means you don't need to worry about missing out on the latest streaming services. And the new Chromecast also streams in 4K, with HDR and Dolby Vision. Its remote enables you to put down your phone already and focus on what you're watching. We also really like the new Chromecast with Google TV. Check out our Fire TV Stick Lite vs Fire TV Stick face-off to see how its more-affordable models stack up. Oh, and you can rearrange the heck out of the Roku home screen, putting all of apps in your order of preference, while the Fire TV just lets you control that top row and makes you go to another screen for the rest. Trust me, as someone who uses at least one device from every streaming platform, if you can limit yourself to just one device, your entertainment cabinet or counter will look a lot nicer (and they can all stream the best Netflix shows - as well as the best Seinfeld episodes). That said, we've recently found a fix to the Roku bug that hides apps and the one Roku setting to turn off right now. All of the best streaming services are in the Roku Channel Store, meaning you'll probably never say "my favorite show isn't on here!" And it's finally got Dolby Vision, which it was missing when it was just the Streaming Stick Plus. The first is that Roku is the best platform when it comes to streaming media. We love the Roku Streaming Stick 4K, and recommend it as the best streaming device to friends and colleagues, for two simple reasons. Here's everything you need to know about the best streaming devices. Using all of these devices often shows us the benefits of spending more on your streaming device, as the cheaper Fire TV devices control your whole home screen experience, while the Apple TV has no ads and more customization. Small touches keep the Roku Ultra (2020) on our list, such as its incrementally faster performance, and smoother streaming on Wi-Fi in larger houses (when it's not near the router). Not only do we spend hours and hours watching shows and movies from the top streaming services on these devices, but we compare them against those with similar prices, to help you figure out which is best for your budget. Some of us at Tom's Guide own multiple entries from this list of the best streaming devices, to see how they evolve over time. ![]() And while we used to have the Xbox One S on this list, Microsoft has stopped manufacturing that console, so we've swapped it out for the excellent Xbox Series S. The former's speed improvements make it the first Fire TV Stick we've put on this list, and the latter finally delivered a good remote. The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is one of the latest additions to this list, following the Apple TV 4K (2021). Oh and don't worry about Roku's YouTube problem, it's been settled. It's our top pick for many reasons, and Roku's streamlined app-first OS is one of them. Our current pick for very best streaming device overall is the Roku Streaming Stick 4K, an update to a previous model that improved performance and added Dolby Vision. ![]() I will be paying a lot of money for these highlights and I'm going on my hols soon so REALLY want them to be nice. I have been trying desperately to fade the brown and have been washing hair with Vosene and Bicarbonate of Soda as I googled and that seems to help fade colour, it does seem to be working. The guy doing it reckons he's got 15 years experience with colour. Anyway, I have never felt like 'me' since and have yearned to go back blonde even though my hair has never been in better condition now! I've phoned a salon, which I hope is a good one and got an appointment next week. I've had it done a few times since with a semi permanent brown. “That’s much more attractive than any kind of thing you could do to make yourself look glamorous.I've always had blonde highlights but about 8 months ago I got fed up and got my hair dyed back to my natural colour, medium brown. And, whenever I have any doubts, I just think of what Steele said: “The more you become yourself and the more comfortable you are with yourself, the more you exude confidence,” she told me. Down the line, perhaps I’ll squeeze lemon onto my lengths at the beach, or book a shine-enhancing gloss treatment-but right now, I’m most looking forward to embracing something effortless. And we aim at assisting you in your hair goals by providing. With so many techniques and color combinations available for dark-haired gals, brown hair with highlights is a go-to option when the time comes to give a new twist to brunette hair. Sure, I bristle at my roots, but I can easily conceal them in a bun for any Zoom meeting-and, with each passing day, they’re moving closer and closer to my ends. We do believe that brunettes can have even more fun with their locks than blondes do. Work with a colorist who can help you decide on the perfect gradient and placement between your natural hair and highlights. I, for one, am taking her words to heart. Caramel highlights on light to dark brown hair are a classic hue for a reason The sweetly warm tones are super flattering that can add both depth and dimension to your face. This combination creates an amazing look from top to bottom and makes your hair look like a million bucks. ![]() In this hairstyle, the dark hair is made to stand out through the use of caramel or golden blonde highlights. Ultimately, “Just be patient,” she advises. These caramel highlights on brown hair look works well with dark hair. “There are fine-tuning services you can do to make yourself feel better that won’t destroy your hair,” Kaeding notes, suggesting a few light-reflecting balayage pieces, or a pop of gold- not bleach-on the ends. After all, adopting a more natural shade doesn’t have to be left entirely to fate. “You can send me the biggest in the world, and if she says she wants a big changement, we say non,” he explains, emphasizing that he focuses on subtle enhancements that will not compromise the quality of the hair.

Balayage hair and Ombre hair Inspiration Customised colour application for unique highlights. It was enough for me to cancel my follow-up appointment-permanently. From this vantage point, I was just one of the many masked, mouthless, wannabe baby blondes posing in the same black salon robe, against the same black backdrop, with the same head full of expensively placed highlights. While I tend to agree with Lebowitz on just about everything (the value of a uniform the idiocy of lounge chairs in Times Square), this is where we diverge.Ī few weeks ago, I was scrolling through my colorist’s Instagram when I spotted a photo of myself that stopped me in my tracks: I look like everyone else, I thought, appalled. Fran Lebowitz once wrote, “The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one’s soul shine through.” Now, I don’t know what exactly the world-class wit thinks of bottle blondes, but if we take her words at face value, they seem to suggest that our God-given hair color is perhaps not what suits us best. ![]() Fixed camera orientation for DJI Zenmuse P1.Fixed shift in projects defined in feet.Ability to open a project in PIX4Dsurvey.Fixed not saving the output coordinate system upon reopening a project or when uploading from PIX4Dmapper to PIX4Dcloud for processing.Fixed the unstable orientation constraint effect.Fixed issue where the volume tab appeared black.Fixed incorrect elevations loaded from S.O.D.A.The GCP/MTP table might not show enough decimal digits for the coordinates.Improved support of the ANAFI Ai drone.We recommend testing the preview version before using it for production work.įor detailed steps about downloading, installing, or updating the software the Software download and installation article.

![]() One of the best things about premium laptops in 20: screens with minimal bezels around them. What We Don't Like A small trackpad will put some people off The HP Spectre x360 13t has a keyboard with excellent, long travel. The laptop also doesn't get very hot to the touch, with most of the heat exiting at the back of the machine beneath the screen where you'll barely feel it. The Spectre not only handled it all easily, it did so without the blaring fan noise of my typical work machines, an 8th-gen Dell XPS 13 and a 2017 MacBook Pro. ![]() My typical workload includes about 40 Chrome and Firefox tabs, spreadsheets, Photoshop, Spotify, and more all running simultaneously. Though you'll only be able to get it with the late-2019 G-series 10th-gen processors for now, we expect it to get updated with the latest H-series chips later this year. Though the Spectre isn't the fastest laptop we've tested recently, its quad-core 10th-gen Intel i7 more than held its own in single and multi-core benchmarks. ![]() Excellent performance, with battery life to spare It's just one less thing that would've given you pause on previous Spectre laptops that is no longer a concern. Truth be told the Synaptics ones have been fine for a year or two, but I find the MPT drivers more consistent. Perhaps most importantly, though, HP has once again opted for a Microsoft Precision Touchpad, ditching the Synaptics-driven pads that it used in previous Spectre models. In my tests I was able to pretty easily clear 90 words per minute on the Spectre. Otherwise, your options mostly come down to two things: do you want the OLED display, and do you want an LTE WWAN modem for on-the-go connectivity? Picking either option requires stepping up to the i7 processor, 16GB of soldered RAM, and usually the "Nightfall Black" color instead of Silver or Blue. You can at least swap out the SSD, adding more storage if you need it later (once prices have come down). Unfortunately, most portable laptops in this space feature non-upgradeable RAM, and that's the case here.
![]() Raspberry has diuretic, choleretic, anti-anemic effect, helps strengthen the walls of blood vessels and promotes intestinal health. Ripe raspberry (Rubus іdaeus L.) contains free organic acids (citric, malic, salicylic), minerals (Co, Cu, K, Na, Fe, Ca, Mg, P), vitamins (B-group, PP, C, provitamin A), tanning substances. Strawberry is rich in phenolic compounds which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer action. Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa, D.) is known as a berry with high content of organic acids (citric, malic, quinic, salicylic, as well as succinic and traces of shikimic and glycolic upon ripening), vitamins C, PP, E, B 1, B 2, B 6, B 9, K, carotene, pectin and other substances. So, to level the seasonal nature of consumption, increase the shelf life of the finished product and reduce the transportation and storage costs, they are often processed and dried. However, these are seasonal, perishable products. Adulteration of agricultural raw materials should be regarded as one of the most dangerous types of fraudulent practices, because it creates favorable conditions for unfair competition, leading to stagnation, loss of export potential of domestic food producers and, consequently, to the decrease in the investment appeal of the industry.įresh juicy berries and fruits are natural sources of biologically active substances. In recent years, the spread of adulterated goods there has reached such a level that it threatens Russia’s national security. The modern consumer market of edible raw materials and foods is extremely important strategic part of the modern economy of the Russian Federation. Currently, there are practically no studies aimed at determining quality and chemical composition of fruit and berry powders in order to identify adulteration, though this type of survey would be great practical interest both for producers and consumers. The results obtained allowed to conclude about misinformation and qualitative adulteration of the materials. The “obligatory” amount of K, Fe, Ca, Co, Cu, Mg, Mn were absent in the melon powder, which did not correspond to the fundamental laws of the plant physiology. The raspberry powder was devoid of detectable amount of Co and K, and B, Ca, Cu, Mg, Mn, Si important for plant life were present in residual amounts. The strawberry powder above the detection limit did not contain such essential macro- and microelements as Ca, Mg, B, Co, the amount of Si, Fe, K was at trace level. Thus, the strawberry powder lacked oxalic and tartaric acids, the raspberry raw material lacked malic acid, and the melon material – citric acid. The amount and ratio of organic acids did not correspond to the profile of natural raw materials. This high level of sucrose content indicated the addition of 40.4-52.3% white sugar. In all powder samples the sugars were represented by sucrose in 80-97%. The actual protein and lipids levels did not correspond to the ones declared by the manufacturer in the labeling, and were uncharacteristic of the processed raw materials. It was found that the color and flavor ranges of the studied materials were uncharacteristic of the initial raw materials. We studied organoleptic, physical, chemical parameters, and nutrient composition of strawberry, raspberry, and melon powders and identified their profile of organic acids and mineral composition produced by a Russian company. Adulteration, fruit and berry raw materials, chemical composition of fruits, organic acids profile, mineral elements. |
