![]() When it comes to safety, there’s really only one question you need to ask yourself-will the ceiling be insulated? If the answer is yes, you will need an airtight, IC rated canister. To combat this issue, manufacturers developed insulation compatible (IC) and airtight (AT) fixtures. ![]() Unsealed and unable to be covered by insulation because of the risk of fire, you could often tell who in your neighbourhood had recessed lighting fixtures because the escaping heat would create ice dams or circular patches of melted snow on their roofs in the winter. The original can light fixture was incredibly inefficient. Insulation Compatible (IC) or Airtight Fixture (AT) Recessed lighting fixtures should be insulation compatible, or airtight. ![]() There are two things to think about when it comes to safety and recessed lighting: Whether you want a diffused or spotlightīut before you consider any of these things, your first and foremost concern should be safety.What fixture size and housing type you want.It’s also a popular choice for closets, kitchens, living rooms, and-most recently-outdoor lighting.Ī recessed light fixture consists of three components: Because it’s sleek and easy to conceal, recessed lighting is an ideal choice for areas with limited space for hanging fixtures. This style of lighting has a number of different applications in both residential and commercial settings, and can be used for ambient, task and accent lighting. Unlike chandeliers, pendants or flush mount lamps, which are designed to be visible, recessed lamps provide light without a visible fixture. Recessed lighting fixtures are those circular holes, most commonly found in ceilings, that house an illumination source. So, what exactly is recessed lighting and how can you make it work? We’re here to help you answer these questions and more: What Is Recessed Lighting? Recessed lighting is an extremely versatile lighting option that can help you create a well-lit space in your home, but it’s also easy to do it badly, especially if you don’t intend to seek help from a professional, such as a handyman or electrician, or do a little advanced planning on your own. And for good reason-it’s easy to combine with other types of lighting to create a layered look, and it helps to add ambience to any room. Regardless of what you call it-recessed lighting, downlighting, pot lighting, or can lighting-it has been increasing in popularity in recent years. ![]() Read our full Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids review. If you want a durable, long-lasting tablet tailored to young children, the Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids is a great choice. Sure, the lack of Google Play Store apps limits what you can do with this tablet, but that's hardly a problem if you're planning to give it to your 5-year-old so they can have something to watch videos on. Plus, the detailed built-in parental controls give you a lot of control over what a child does on the device, with little risk of them going astray. ![]() Like its siblings the Fire HD 10 Kids sports a bright display, a durable kid-friendly design, and excellent battery life. It costs as much as the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro ($199) and offers basically the same features, but aimed at children ages three to seven rather than older kids. The Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids, like the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro listed above, is effectively a version of the Fire HD 10 that's tailored for kid-friendly use. ![]() Without further ado, here are the best Amazon Fire tablets you can buy right now, based on our hands-on testing of every tablet Amazon makes. It's worth taking a look at our Amazon promo codes page for the latest offers. The more invested you are in the Amazon content ecosystem, the more value you'll get out of a Fire tablet. That means it's effectively impossible to install a number of popular Android apps, including Google apps like Gmail, unless you sideload them - and that's a big ask for many Fire tablet owners.Įven so, a new Amazon Fire tablet can be well worth the investment if you need a cheap, durable slate for browsing the web and consuming media. However, they all share similar weaknesses, most notably the fact that all Fire tablets lack easy access to the Google Play Store. All Fire tablets run on Amazon's Fire OS, a custom version of Android, and it does a great job of serving up your Kindle ebooks, Prime Video offerings, and Amazon Music playlists in an easy-to-navigate format. While each offers different strengths, they all excel at allowing you to enjoy your Amazon content on the go. You get lost in the dynamic characters, their consistent fabulous dialogue and the interactions and the chemistry between the entire cast. The storyline for this movie is so well written from beginning to end. ![]() This movie is directed by Ted Demme (Blow) and stars Eddie Murphy (Coming to America), Martin Lawrence (Bad Boys), Bernie Mac (Bad Santa), Nick Cassavetes (Wraith), Anthony Anderson (The Departed), Guy Torry (American History X) and Ned Beatty (Superman). The story follows the people they meet while serving life in prison and the hijinks the two best friends get into. The storyline focuses on two friends trying to make a buck who get arrested and thrown in southern prison for something they didn't do. Life (1999) is a movie we recently watched together as a family and I originally saw in the theatres upon its release. I thoroughly enjoyed this picture, realizing early on that it was a very serious movie wrongly hyped as a comedy. Comedies are rarely as dirty and sweaty as this movie. Life is well-mounted and the sets are as convincing as any I've seen. Let's not overlook an interesting small role expertly understated by Ned Beatty, and the charm of Bokeem Woodbine as Can't Get Right. Note that when these characters are shown as old men, Murphy actually becomes an old man, Lawrence is still a young man in oldster's make-up. Lawrence is almost as good, but he does labor a bit with the dramatic parts, seeming a bit uncomfortable shedding his comic bent. I was surprised at how good Murphy is in this flick.Not one of my favorites, he convinces as he ages and grows under the burden his character carries, that of an entire life stolen from him. These are pictures that provide comic overtones to people struggling to get through a very serious and overwhelming event: war, contemplated suicide, and in the case of Life, life imprisonment. There have been some great ones that do this, and we mistakenly classify them as comedies. Once you let that expectation go, this is a great movie! It succeeds as a drama with comic tone. With that being said, check it out if you have time.Īfter reading the user comments on this movie, it appears that the main complaint is that it is not the rollicking laugh-a-minute comedy that fans of the two leads expected. I have to admit, they never came off as friend last as the film would like you to believe though. As funny as it is, it still has a great amount of heart and characters we grow to like too (most of them). In regards to the commentary, there're some themes that still resonate today: Homophobia, racism, and resilience in the face of hopelessness and adversity. Who knew Eddie Murphy and Martín Lawrence would make a great comedy duo? They play off each other well. During they sentence, they meet a befriend a colorful cast of characters. From failed escape plots, constant antagonism by the warden and his self-hating guard, to bitterness on how they came to be in this awful position. ![]() Throughout their time there, their friendship is tested in various ways. Most of the film is them trying to survive in the rough prison run by a racist warden. The plot's about 2 guys who end up in jail for a crime they didn't commit after a series of mishaps. Not only that, I dare even say it had some good commentary about issues the main characters had to face from not just from back then, but also today. To say this's an underrated comedy is putting it lightly. ![]() ![]() The wood chop is a great exercise for the core. Standing Cable chop to increase strength, muscle hypertrophy, and overall development of the obliques and transverse abdominal.Varying the position of the body and the direction of cable, you can work out various parts of the core muscles.Cable machines wood chopper are a safe and efficient tool to incorporate into your normal workout program.The cable setup gives your muscles almost uninterrupted time under tension.It offers almost unmatched versatility because you can change up the load, angle, grip positioning and body positioning easily.The cable chop can be a great movement to bulletproof core training and stabilize the lumbar spine during movements.Cable workout are more evenly distributed, and you have more of a constant load on your core muscles throughout the whole range of motion.The cable woodchopper workout offers an effective way to train the core, let’s have a look at some other benefits of wood chop exercises with a cable machine.

The movement is the same except that you would have to attach the rope to the pulley machine at the mid-way point. You can also do this exercise using a pulley machine and a rope or handle. Do about 3-4 sets of 12-16 reps with a weight you feel that is appropriate.Repeat the same movement on the left hand side. ![]() From the top of the movement, bring the weight back down (breathing in as you do so) and using the same movement but downwards this time.This is the top of the movement and the motion of this exercise is basically a diagonal upward movement. As you un-bend you knees (legs straighten out) you will move the weight with both hands upwards twisting your midsection and pivoting on the right leg.Hold the weights on your right side with both hands in the bent position – your starting position.Keep your legs apart with your knees bent over you feet (knees shouldn’t be pointing inwards or outwards because you will injure your knees in the long-run).With resistance bands, you will have to tie it to a pole or cable pulley machine. Grab a free weight (like I have in the video below) or a dumbbell or resistance bands.It’s a good combination exercise especially when you want to do a quick workout. It focuses on your obliques and abs, but it also works your legs, glutes and lats. The method of performance for the type of weight you use is the same. You can also use resistance bands and even a kettlebell. This can be done anywhere and all you need is a dumbbell or a free weight like the one I am using in my demonstration video. One rotational exercise that is also a full-body exercise is the woodchopper exercise. You can exercise all you want but if you consume more calories than you burn, binge eat and eat the wrong types of foods, it won’t make a real difference! In order to lose the fat around the waist, most importantly you must eat healthy foods. Rotational exercises are some of the best exercises to do to lose those love handles or the pear shape around one’s midsection – the stubborn fat around one’s waist. ![]() Though there has been a large number of case reports and pilot clinical trials with various prescriptions in China in the past decades, they do not provide comparable, measurable, and reproducible evidence for efficacy of the treatments. ![]() However, in western society, the evidence of its efficacy is seen as unconvincing. Ĭhinese herbal medicine (CHM), one of these natural product treatments with less side effect, has been widely used to disperse menopausal problems in China and other Asian countries. In USA, 82% physicians recommend herbal remedies to their menopausal patients. Therefore, not only patients but also physicians are increasingly interested in complementary therapies using natural products with good effectiveness and fewer side effects. Furthermore, a significant proportion of menopausal women have contraindications to or are unwilling to use hormone therapy. Hormone therapy is taken to be the most effective treatment for menopausal syndrome, but various disadvantages and side effects have been reported, including increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer, endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma, stroke, and venous thromboembolism, especially for long-term therapy. Among them, vasomotor symptoms, vaginal dryness, and sleep disturbance are most frequent and thus regarded as the most relevant problems, followed by mood symptoms and urinary complaints. Ĭlinical manifestations of menopausal syndrome have a multivariate feature, including vasomotor episodes, urogenital problems, sleep disturbance and mood disorders, uterine bleeding, somatic symptoms, vertigo and headaches, palpitations, skin formication, and sexual dysfunction. Menopausal syndrome not only has an impact on women's quality of life but also is associated with other health problems, for example, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis in old age. Menopausal symptoms can last for 4-5 years or longer and can even be found in 9% of 72-year-old women. An American survey reports that approximately 25% of women require treatment. ![]() It has been reported that almost 80% of women in western countries and more than 60% of Chinese women suffer from menopausal problems. Women can experience menopausal symptoms beginning in their mid-to-late forties. (3) All these findings need to be confirmed in further well-designed comprehensive studies meeting the standard of evidence-based medicine and including Zheng-differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine. (2) Chinese herbal medicine may be effective for at least some menopausal symptoms while side effects are likely less than hormone therapy. Critical analysis revealed that (1) high-quality studies on efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine for menopausal syndrome are rare and have the drawback of lacking traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis (Zheng-differentiation). None of the studies investigated long-term side effects. CHM did not increase the endometrial thickness, a common side effect of hormone therapy. Only ten severe adverse events were reported, two with possible association with the therapy. Side effects and adverse events were generally mild and infrequent. Menopause was diagnosed according to western medicine criteria in all studies while seven Chinese studies and one non-Chinese study further stratified the participants using traditional Chinese medical diagnosis “Zheng differentiation.” Efficacy was reported by all 9 Chinese and 9/14 non-Chinese papers. This study evaluates 23 (9 Chinese and 14 non-Chinese) randomized controlled trials for efficacy and side effects of Chinese herbal medicine on menopausal symptoms. ![]() Take a look at Starlinks Configuration Guide which can be found on the following page: The latest generation of MoCA 2.5 adapters are all made with MaxLinear chipsets so, in theory they all have the same user interface. The problem that you'll run into is the lack of support from various companies, and by that I mean an actual user manual that explains the various settings of the adapters. In terms of security, there is a security system on the adapters. So, when you connect the adapter to the router, the router will run the ethernet network, even though that ethernet network runs over a coaxial system, where in this case the adapters run the coaxial communication system. The adapters all have at least one ethernet port that connects to a device, pc, router, etc, etc. So, you have to know how many coaxial jacks are on the adapter that you're going to buy, in order to determine whether or not you need that second splitter. The input jack is connected to the inbound RG-6 cable, and the modem is connected to the output jack. There are other adapters on the market which have two coaxial jacks, one for input, one for output. ![]() The latest Actiontech ECB6250 adapter only has one coaxial jack, so you would need a second splitter to connect the modem and adapter to the inbound cable. The satellite splitter has to provide that same range from the output port to the input port and reverse.ĭepending on which adapter you buy, you might not need that second splitter. The MoCA 2 splitter provides the internal port to port frequency range which supports the MoCA Delta-High/Extended band, which runs up to 1675 Mhz. One key point is that you need a MoCA 2 qualified splitter as the main splitter, with a high frequency splitter such as a satellite splitter for the second splitter which then connects to the adapter which then connects to the router. *Added setup that you included will work, or should work as expected. What I'm unsure of is first, whether this is a feasible setup and second, how is the adapter hooked up to the router? Should it be via the LAN port? The other slight concern (but I think this is the point in the Filter) is that no one outside my home will be able to gain access to my NAS or computer_A. Ideally, I'd like "computer_A" to be able to access the NAS. Incoming -> Cable -> MoCA -> MoCA -> cable -> splitter -> ModemĬable Ground POE splitter -> MoCA adapter -> router -> NASīlock Filter -> cable -> adapter -> computer_A In a recent thread, I saw an example of a setup like this but I've modified it to be closer to what I'd like. I'm confused about how to hook up my router with the adapters and the modem such that I still just have one network with all my devices on it.Ī lot of setups/diagrams I've seen indicate that I'd need splitters. What I'm confused about is how I can do this using my own router with the modem in bridge mode. In simpler terms, I'd just like to 'extend' my current LAN using coax (and I only need to extend it to one other room). What I'd like to do is to use the existing coax runs in my home to hook up an ethernet backhaul to a mesh node (technically it doesn't even have to be a mesh node but could just be to connect another device like a PC). My understanding is that in bridge mode, there's no MoCA enablement from the 4582 but I could be wrong. I've currently got a CODA-4582 (which supports MoCA 2.0) but I prefer to use my own router and put the modem in bridge mode. There's been a slew of threads lately on MoCA and I have my own questions on setup. ![]() This guide about the best spy cameras should resolve any open questions and help You in Your decision to find the most suitable spy camera.Ĭheck current Price Timeqid Hidden Camera Charger Table could not be displayed. I will not only review these small cameras with my background as a photographer but also from my knowledge working for an electronics company. If You are respecting the law and don’t plan to use the spy cameras with any malicious intent, I hope You will enjoy this guide. With the following hidden cameras, You are not able to record excellent video, that comes close to the quality of mirrorless cameras for under $500, but can also record the audio in a very high-quality. Whether You want to use these cameras for Street Photography, or just to observe Your own house, is Your choice. Keep sure that when You record people, that You stay within Your legal limits of hidden cameras. Spy Cameras are good for many reasons and You should use them responsibly. Since we only produced the PCBs and didn’t manufacture the final product, I was interested in seeing how the finished products looked like. Those are also referred to as “wearables”. We also produced flexible PCBs that would later be used in glasses or other small electronic products. So this overview is mostly out of personal interest working for an electronics company that would produce prototype circuit boards (PCBs) – those green plates that are inside every electronic product. Normally, Spy Cameras aren’t really within the realm of cameras that I normally use and review like the best point and shoot cameras under $300, but out of personal interest, I was curious in seeing how modern technology works and where the real-life applications of technology are, that I helped to advance. But since the technique is advancing fast and I am always interested in new technology gadgets, I wanted to give these spy cams a shot. Spy Cameras are usually not what I use to do Street Photography or any other kind of photography. ![]() ![]() In 1875, the United States gained exclusive access to the harbor for coaling and repair through the Reciprocity Treaty with the Kingdom of Hawaii. Wealthy, White Americans sought to establish an imperial presence through missionary and economic activity as early as the 1830s, and in 1870, General John McAllister Schofield (namesake of the current Schofield Barracks in Wahiawa) suggested that the United States secure access rights to Pearl Harbor. If Pearl Harbor was critical for projection of imperial and naval power, why was the Great White Fleet unable to dock there? By 1919, Pearl Harbor would have a fully-functioning and established naval base, but not before a Japanese victory in the Russo-Japanese War finally urged the Navy to recognize Hawaii’s importance for American strategy in the Pacific.īefore the United States formally annexed Hawaii, the natural harbor ( Wai Momi) at the mouth of the Pearl River on Oahu factored into American plans for the islands. “The Atlantic fleet…came face to face here with one of the hard facts of urgent need-that is, the immediate improvement of Pearl Harbor,” The Sun emphasized.By the early 1900s, Americans, representatives from Hawaii, and even members of the military recognized Pearl Harbor as an important component for America’s ascendancy in the Pacific, potentially as “indispensable as Gibraltar to the British Empire.” Pearl Harbor, then the site of a basic Naval station equipped with the barest of necessities for maintaining a naval presence, was an ideal spot for safeguarding the fleet, but it was in need of improvement-primarily dredging to deepen the channels allowing access to the harbor and a dry dock for repairing vessels. Ironically, “only eight miles away one of the finest natural harbors in the world, a place of shelter just now more important to the United States from a military and commercial standpoint than any harbor it possesses,” The Sun reported on Pearl Harbor after the fleet’s visit. Even then, there was insufficient space for coaling near Honolulu without difficult maneuvers four of the ships had to travel 70 miles to the Island of Maui to refuel, while others were only able to squeeze one-by-one into the Honolulu harbor. The fleet was forced to drop their anchors in open water near Honolulu as there was not enough room for all 16 ships in the city’s harbor. There was just one problem: the Great White Fleet had nowhere to dock in Honolulu. Hawaii, then a territory of the United States and recognized as the “crossroads of the Pacific” for its position between the West Coast and the United States’ colonial and territorial possessions in the Philippines and Guam, was a natural stopping point for the fleet, reflecting America’s expanding geographical reach. Crowds gathered to witness what was to be America’s answer to Britain’s dominant sea power in a new age of imperial expansion. In July of 1908, the Great White Fleet-President Theodore Roosevelt’s impressive armada of 16 dazzling white battleships under the command of Rear Admiral Robley “Fighting Bob” Evans-stopped at Honolulu, Hawaii on its global tour.

And they improved beyond just the single trolling rod holder to a full system. If you have not built a rod holder yet and want to try now is the time have fun and use your imagination.Įventually the self built rod racks moved to the retail rod rack. The best part of custom rod builds are the endless possibilities you can come up with for your needs. You can add a trolling rod setup and maybe a Action Camera Stand. The possibilities are endless, have 2 rods 3 or more, add a part to attach you fish finder or maybe a small work table. So from here people started to come up with there own ideas and builds. I really liked this design and I really would like to try this again of course with some big improvements. This was easy to build and did a great job of keep my rod secure. So that is why I went with a flat rod rack. ![]() I was into flyfishing and the 8 to 9 foot rods don't do well standing straight up. So here is my first home built rod rack and it worked very well for me. What works best as far as I can see when it comes to making your own rod racks is PVC. So let's go on order for me and rod racks and so that means we are now going to talk about the DIY rod Rack. I will continue on with this write up but I encourage everyone to post up there rod holders and let us know what you think as well. These rod holders are still available and I would say a most have as part of your float tube setup. These gave me an opportunity to take an extra rod with me and fill more secure. I like that the are adjustable for the most part, but they are really for trolling not really for storing the extra rod on the tube, even though that is what I do from time to time at least in the past. ![]() You can place them on either side of your tube or get to an use them on both sides. These rod holders which I have used for years are very useful and simple to use as well. First let's talk about the most basic but useful tool the single strap on rod holder from like Scotty and Caddis. So on to the hunt for a rod holder to help secure rods to the float tube. It was pretty apparent after my second outing that this was not the best was to carry a second rod. So for me I started out with a basic float tube and used the tiny velcro straps on the side of the tube to secure the second rod when I went out fishing (do you remember those). Maybe we can inspire an new design of a future rod holder. I would like to just post some great picture of some great products as well as share my thoughts on these different types of rod holders. Ok maybe I don't know that for sure but I would image people worked on this many years ago. I think from the very start of float tubing the idea of how can I take more rods with my was of high concern. So I wanted to talk a little about Rod Racks in float tube fishing. |
