Doctor420Hawaii provides medical cannabis & marijuana certifications for qualifying patients in Hawaii. We have assisted more than 4,000 patients to lawfully possess marijuana and cannabis products for medicinal use since 2003.
Doctor420Hawaii is a Medicinal Cannabis Evaluation Center providing 329 marjuana card certifications.
We are NOT an authorized retailer or distributor of medical cannabis or marijuana products. Please contact the state licensed dispensary nearest you to purchase marijuana. We will accept out-of-state identification to obtain a 329 card as long as the patient can provide both a local physical AND mailing address. Certifications take a minimum of four (4) weeks to process and must be renewed every year to stay current. Please take a moment to review the 329 card eligibility requirements on our website before contacting us.
Our office is located in Hilo on the Big Island, and we travel to O'ahu, Maui, Molokai, and Kauai to hold monthly clinics for our patients. Contact our office today to see if you are eligible for a 329 marijuana card and/or to become a caregiver.

Effective Change, LLC is a Hilo Medicinal Cannabis Evaluation Center
Island of Hawai’i residents searching for medicinal cannabis, also known as the 329 card, can contact Effective Change, LLC in Hilo for a certified medical marijuana evaluation. This medical cannabis evaluation center with a heart is physician-owned and physician-run and services all main Hawai’i islands.
A core, diverse team of four leads Effective Change in Hilo: Matthew Brittain, LCSW, Dr. Christopher Lawinski, M.D., as well as Jonelle and Tatiana. As a team, they bring to bear far-reaching expertise from the areas of general medicine, cannabis cultivation, human forensics, and mental health to provide patients with the most comprehensive and compassionate care possible. Effective Change prides themselves on their ethnic diversity: African, Caucasian, Filipino, Hawaiian, and Korean! They’ve got it all, and they love to share and support all things cannabis.
The good people at Effective Change in Hilo have faithfully served Hawai’i residents longer and more carefully than any other medicinal cannabis evaluation center in Hawai’i. Hilo patients, and others residing on the Big Island - curious or otherwise interested in the palliative potential of medicinal cannabis - can contact the warm and friendly team at Effective Change with any questions or concerns.
Effective Change has been around for nearly two decades. The team has advocated for cannabis since 1999 when a bill proposing legalization made its way into the legislature. To take things further, Matthew Brittain, Effective Change’s founder, became one of Hawai’i’s leading medical cannabis advocates since helping found the business in Hilo in 2002.
Effective Change took on the mantle of cannabis certification coordination in 2002 when one of the founding fathers of the Hawai’i cannabis program, Dr. Wenner, passed away. Effective Change stepped in to provide continuity of care to many of his patients. Effective Change has gradually expanded its services ever since, including O’ahu and Kaua’i in 2006, Moloka’i in 2007, and Maui in 2010.
The first step to acquiring a medicinal cannabis recommendation in Hawai’i is to contact a state-approved physician like Dr. Lawinski at Effective Change in Hilo. Once the doctor has certified the patient for medicinal marijuana use, Effective Change can then register the patient with Hawai’i’s Medical Marijuana Registry Program. Once this process is complete, Hawai’i’s Department of Health will issue the patient a 329 Registration Card which then grants the patient legal access to dispensaries statewide.
Out-of-state residents are unable to obtain medicinal cannabis recommendations because Hawai’i requires its patients to have state-issued identification, which one cannot receive without a permanent Hawai’i address. Medical marijuana legislation in Hawai’i also requires that prospective medical cannabis patients suffer from chronic, debilitating diseases in order to qualify for certification. For a closer look at Hawai’i’s qualifying conditions, check out the Department of Health’s website.
For those approved by the state to use medical marijuana, be mindful of its “adequate supply” laws as well as the prohibition of administration in public. The cannabis communities of Hilo, and elsewhere, should keep their eyes peeled for Senate Bill 548 which would legalize marijuana for recreational use islandwide.
Islandwide. Effective Change now proudly serves every Hawaiian island excepting Lana’i. As the state’s sole islandwide medicinal cannabis certification center, no county or town is out of reach. From the populous Honolulu to the beautiful Haleiwa, if you’re on O’ahu, Effective Change has your back. From Kaawa to Nanakuli and Kapolei, the team at Effective Change will meet with you to help improve your happiness and wellbeing.
Hawai’i, a tropical paradise just a few thousand miles west of the westernmost coast of California, is home to some of the most sensational tropical vistas known to man. If you were to find yourself in Hilo on the Island of Hawai’i, be sure to trek through the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. Hikers, campers and beachgoers alike, the Big Island has something for everyone. From Mauna Kea Summit to Hapuna Beach, you can’t go wrong. Whether you’re trekking the Kilauea Iki Trail or letting the calm sands of Manini’owali Beach warm your toes, the Island of Hawai’i will never cease to amaze.
We hold a clinic twice or three times a month in Hilo. Our clinics are always on a Wednesday. Come on down and get yourself legal!
Our fee is $140/new patients, and $115 for renew patients. This does not include the $38.50 Dept. of Health fee. If you want or need us to do the data entry for you, we will for an additional $31.50. Email firstname.lastname@example.org or call 808 934-7566

Randomized trials are needed to determine the optimal treatment approach for early stage follicular lymphoma (FL), according to researchers.
A retrospective study showed similar outcomes among patients who received radiotherapy, immunochemotherapy, combined modality treatment (CMT), and watchful waiting (WW).
There were some differences in progression-free survival (PFS) according to treatment approach. However, there were no significant differences in overall survival (OS) between any of the active treatments or between patients who received active treatment and those managed with WW.
Joshua W. D. Tobin, MD, of Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, and colleagues conducted this research and reported the results in.
The researchers analyzed 365 patients with newly diagnosed, stage I/II FL. The patients had a median age of 63 years and more than half were men. They were diagnosed between 2005 and 2017, and the median follow-up was 45 months.
Most patients (n = 280) received active treatment, but 85 were managed with WW. The WW patients were older and had more extranodal involvement.
Types of active treatment included radiotherapy alone (n = 171), immunochemotherapy alone (n = 63), and CMT (n = 46). Compared with the other groups, patients who received radiotherapy alone had less bulk, fewer nodal sites, and fewer B symptoms, and were more likely to have stage I disease. Patients who received CMT had fewer B symptoms and lower FLIPI scores compared with patients who received immunochemotherapy.
The immunochemotherapy regimens used were largely rituximab based. In all, 106 patients received rituximab (alone or in combination) for induction, and 49 received maintenance rituximab (37 in the immunochemotherapy group and 12 in the CMT group).
Response rates were similar among the active treatment groups. The overall response rate was 95% in the radiotherapy group, 96% in the immunochemotherapy group, and 95% in the CMT group (P = .87).
There was a significant difference in PFS between the radiotherapy, immunochemotherapy, and CMT groups (P = .023), but there was no difference in OS between these groups (P = .38).
There was no significant difference in PFS between the immunochemotherapy and CMT groups (hazard ratio [HR], 1.78; P = .24), so the researchers combined these groups into a single group called “systemic therapy.” The patients treated with systemic therapy had PFS (HR, 1.32; P = .96) and OS (HR, 0.46; P = .21) similar to that of patients treated with radiotherapy alone.
Maintenance rituximab was associated with prolonged PFS among patients treated with systemic therapy (HR, 0.24; P = .017). However, there was no significant difference in OS between patients who received maintenance and those who did not (HR, 0.89; P = .90).
Relapse was less common among patients who received maintenance, and there were no cases of transformation in that group. Relapse occurred in 24.6% of the radiotherapy group, 18.3% of the systemic therapy group, and 4.1% of the group that received systemic therapy plus maintenance (P = .006). Transformation was less likely in the systemic therapy group (1.8%) than in the radiotherapy (6.4%) and WW (9.4%) groups (HR, 0.20; P = .034).
Overall, the active treatment group had better PFS than the WW group (HR, 0.52; P = .002), but there was no significant difference in OS between the groups (HR, 0.94; P = .90).
“Based on our comparable OS between WW and actively treated patients, WW could be considered as an initial management strategy in early stage FL,” Dr. Tobin and colleagues wrote. “However, long-term follow-up is required to determine if a survival benefit exists favoring active treatment.”
The researchers reported relationships with many pharmaceutical companies.

Sir Walter Scott’s Scottish Baronial-style home Abbotsford is where the author wrote his world-famous “Waverley” novels. Image by Lorna Baldwin.
In July 1814, no one knew whose words they were reading exactly, but they read “Waverley” in such volume that the initial printing of 1,000 copies sold out in two days. Set during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, the historical novel tells the story of a young English soldier, Edward Waverley, sent north to Scotland to fight with the Redcoat army. Love gets in the way, and Edward’s passion for the feisty Highlander Flora leads him to join the Jacobites’ fight.
By November of 1814, “Waverley” was in its fourth printing and had become a runaway international success, all without the benefit of an author’s name on the title page.
Sir Henry Raeburn’s portrait of Sir Walter Scott in 1822, on display at the National Galleries of Scotland.
The author was widely believed to be Sir Walter Scott, at the time better known for his poetry — of the “Oh, what a tangled web we weave” variety.
“Waverley” was something new for Scott. He’d started it years earlier, put it away in a drawer and forgotten about it until late 1813. Then, in a three-week burst of creativity, he finished the second and third volumes at his new home in the Scottish Borders, Abbotsford.
The book was received with almost universal acclaim, and nearly every reviewer guessed it was written by Scott. Even some of his readers knew. Jane Austen wrote to her niece Anna in September 1814:
“Walter Scott has no business to write novels, especially good ones. – It is not fair. – He has Fame and Profit enough as a Poet, and should not be taking the bread out of other people’s mouths. – I do not like him, & do not mean to like Waverley if I can help it – but I fear I must.”
Scott didn’t admit to authoring “Waverley” until 1827, by which time he’d written a slew of other historical novels, largely in a bid to dig himself out of heavy debt from the collapse of his printer and publisher. Many of the novels were set in Scotland. “Rob Roy” and “The Bride of Lammermoor,” among others, helped export the romanticized vision of tartan, castles and heather-covered Highlands that persists to this day.
Scott’s study was one of the last rooms at Abbotsford to be finished. The desk is where he wrote the “Waverley” novels. Image by Flickr user Bernard Blanc.
From his perch in his study at Abbotsford, Scott churned out dozens of works of this new genre in high demand. His books were among the most popular and widely read around the world for over a century. Scott welcomed fellow authors to his home, including the American writer Washington Irving. His library of 9,000 books reflected his global reach.

Jason Dyer, director of development at Abbotsford, maintains Scott’s work is still relevant and important. “Through his novels and through his wider legacy, he is often credited as the man who reinvented Scotland as we know it today,” Dyer said.
“His works romanticized the Scottish landscape and Scottish history and this turned Scotland from being seen as a backward part of the British Empire, into a noble and majestic country. Through his works, tourists began to visit Scotland en masse.”
After Scott’s death in 1832, Abbotsford became a stop for literary pilgrims devoted to European Romanticism. Queen Victoria visited in 1867, writing in her diary:
“We went through some passages into two or three rooms where were collected fine specimens of old armour, etc., and where in a glass case are Sir Walter’s last clothes. We ended by going into the dining-room, in which Sir Walter Scott died, where we took tea…”
Scott spent the final few days of his life in the dining room, where a bed was made up for him in the window alcove overlooking the River Tweed. He’d suffered a series of strokes and died on September 21, 1832 at the age of 61. Image by Lorna Baldwin.
Scott incorporated gargoyles, or grotesques, into Abbotsford because of his interest in the supernatural, and to scare away evil spirits. Image by Lorna Baldwin.
Today, 40 percent of overseas visitors to Abbotsford are American. The house was reopened in July 2013, after a two-year, $20 million restoration. As for “Waverley,” to commemorate its 200 years in print, a newly adapted edition has been published by Jenni Calder, 50,000 words shorter than the original in a bid to lure in more modern readers to Scott’s work.
Lorna Baldwin is an Emmy and Peabody award winning producer at the PBS NewsHour. In her two decades at the NewsHour, Baldwin has crisscrossed the US reporting on issues ranging from the water crisis in Flint, Michigan to tsunami preparedness in the Pacific Northwest to the politics of poverty on the campaign trail in North Carolina. Farther afield, Baldwin reported on the problem of sea turtle nest poaching in Costa Rica, the distinctive architecture of Rotterdam, the Netherlands and world renowned landscape artist, Piet Oudolf.

The first cruise liner to cease voyages at the start of the coronavirus pandemic will not set sail again until at least the end of the year.
All departures by Viking Cruises remain suspended until December 31, said the firm's chairman Torstein Hagen.
He said: “We are committed to maintaining the safest and healthiest fleet in the industry. We are fortunate to have a fleet of small, Norwegian-registered ocean ships with only 930 guests, and Switzerland-registered river ships with only 190 guests.
“We believe that our smaller ships – which feature spacious public areas and staterooms – provide a much safer environment than mega liners.
“We have always had the highest standards for health and cleanliness – and we are currently finalising additional protocols to make Viking safer, in co-operation with leading international experts. We will be sharing more information about this very soon.”
The cruise line is continuing its fleet expansion next year with the launch of its seventh ocean ship, Viking Venus, as well as a new river vessel on the Mekong, Viking Saigon.
New expedition vessels, Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris, are expected for delivery next year for trips in Antarctica, the Arctic and North America’s Great Lakes.
The cruise line's first American river vessel Viking Mississippi will also come into service in 2022, along with its eighth ocean ship, Viking Mars.
Mr Hagen thanked customers for their support during the pandemic. He said: "From all of us here at Viking, thank you for your loyalty and support —a nd we look forward to sharing more milestones with you in the coming months.
“I have said before that we will only sail again when it is safe to do so. We are a private, closely-held company, which means we do not have to rush the decision to return to service.”

Meet the accounts behind Turkey’s controversial Twitter ban
Surprise! They’re great sources for news of alleged government corruption.
And if you don’t live in Turkey, or you’re somewhat Internet-savvy, you can now see them.
Twitter has been cagey about the fact that it recently agreed to censor two accounts to Turkish users, part of the compromise the company made after the country ineffectually tried to ban Twitter for a few weeks.
So, in full accordance with the Streisand Effect, we present to you the two accounts, both of which are (surprise!) some of the best original sources of leaks damning to Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdo?an and his AKP Party.
The first, @BA?ÇALAN, happily tweets about Erdo?an and his son, Bilal. For example, these accounts share links to alleged phone conversations between the two, which depicts Dad encouraging his boy to take bribes and later to hide money. The Erdo?ans didn’t deny that the voices were theirs, but claimed the audio was “montaged” to make the contents of the call seem worse than it was.

The music of Washington D.C. band, Wylder, is no stranger here. However, to say that even after several great releases – single, EP, and full-length – the band is something easy to figure out, would be exaggeration to say the least. Though that kind of less predictable quality may seem like a marker of unfavorable proportions, by contrast, picking up on Wylder’s continually shifting sense of primary musical identity can be, and has been, a pleasantly intriguing experience thus far. Now with the release of new single, “Ready to Break,” the journey keeps moving forward and just as before, has revealed the band tweaking its sound and playing with instrumental subtleties that diverge from previous songs.
Will McCarry (Guitar, Vocals)
Lonnie Southall (Mandolin, Guitar)
Jackson Wright (Bass, Piano)
Mike Pingley (Drums)
Saying the foursome has fine tuned its sound on more than one occasion in the multiple years since its formation in 2015 doesn’t mean the band lacks a sense of identifiable, musical vision. What’s important to remember in context of the past, and worth observing in context of the present, is that the stream of changes Wylder makes are never such that the band becomes entirely unrecognizable or are so different that the change feels utterly forced. “Ready to Break” follows the release of two originals and two re-imaginings of songs from 2016 LP, Rain and Laura (independent, 2016), that were all recorded live. Set against the background of this live EP from February, and perhaps even further back to standalone 2017 single, “Save a Way,” the sound of “Ready to Break” comes through like a surprising display of poise that gives off a “just right” vibe between the single’s two release predecessors.
Wylder’s simple but inarguably memorable catchphrase, “indie folk for indie folks” isn’t one that’s easy to forget or one that is easy to ditch once that sonic embodiment settles in. While Rain and Laura was dead set on channeling this tagline, Wylder’s musical tweaks since have floated their stylistic needle between the “indie” and the “folk” halves of the band’s go-to style. Where “Ready to Break” excels is in its harmonious coordination between the more electrified and low-end focused writing foundation Wylder explored on “Save a Way” and the more vocal, acoustic, and meticulously noted melody focused writing of EP single, “The Lake.”
Contemplating the two approaches, it’s understandable that Wylder might want to fold in some more dynamic and intense sounds to serve as the propulsion behind hooks or rhythms in new songs. All the same, it’s hard not to be fearful of potential compromise trading away idiosyncratic performance for that deeper instrumental boost. That’s why “Ready to Break” is so promising and exciting. Right from the beginning, the uptempo strumming of an acoustic guitar at the forefront with the immediate following of syncopated, organic hand claps and egg shaker, shows a resurgence of a more folky aesthetic that leaves room to breathe in the mix. Yet, Wylder astutely makes sure to complement this showing of eager but lighter rhythmic energy with the pronounced presence of a hard-hitting, crisply snapping snare on the downbeats of the chorus; a modest modern undercurrent of a single-note but audibly noticeable electric guitar line; and the more pop-rock common polish of heavy vocal reverb and group vocal blending on the titular refrain in particular (“Oh I think I’m ready, Oh I think we’re ready to break”).
These decisions feel smart and carefully weighed on their own but even past them, are the decisions affecting dynamic flow and the overall shape of the song. All the increased intensity and tonal substance getting introduced at the first choral break is the ideal place for the song to feel as though it’s both going upward in volume and outward in assortment of and style of musical sounds. Then, when this expansion of sound remains through the second verse, it feels more right and expected because the song worked up to and earned it, as opposed to just loading all the electric and drum-centric bells and whistles from the first loop of the song’s hook. Capping off with a moment of sonic contraction at the bridge – where Will McCarry’s voice returns to being the sole focal point despite keeping the tonal intensity – “Ready to Break” regains a sense of lightness due to the combined reverb and instrumentally open space before finishing strongly with the complete arrangement and multi-part layering.
“Ready to Break” might read like a depiction of conflicted writing but it actually plays out much more like a smooth running wave or a metronomic see-saw. The song doesn’t just operate on one style setting the entire way through. Nor does it simply build upward in one, irreversible direction. “Ready to Break” is a conscientious blending of individual sounds and overall flow that feels like the best turning point for Wylder yet. The song shows the band has come into its own and can really start navigating the multi-faceted style it has developed over the years, with a comfortable finesse that no longer fights with itself for control.

Statins are drugs that can lower cholesterol. Statins work by blocking a substance your body needs to produce cholesterol. A frequently prescribed statin drug is Zocor (or generic simvastatin).
Zocor and related statin drugs are not without dangers especially when taking the 80 mg Zocor statin dose. In the case of statins, more is not better. Have you or a loved one suffered rhabdomyolysis muscle damage or kidney damage from Zocor?
Zocor has also been linked to potential increase in rhabdomyolysis, kidney damage, and kidney failure in patients taking 80 mg. compared to 10 mg., 20 mg., and 40mg. doses.
Muscle symptoms are a common side effect of statins including aching shoulders, jaw pain, or muscle pain in the legs. Muscle pain is a symptom of muscle breakdown occurring in the body from the 80mg Zocor statin drug. When tissues break down, the body must eliminate the excess waste products that overload the kidneys, causing more serious problems. Rhabdomyolysis is the medical term for the breakdown of muscle fibers that results in the release of muscle fiber contents into the bloodstream. Besides muscle pain, the other major symptom of rhabdomyolysis is dark, red, or cola-colored urine.

A marine-derived Streptomyces sp. (CMB-M0244) isolated from a sediment collected off South Molle Island, Queensland, produced mollemycin A (1) as a new first in class glyco-hexadepsipeptide-polyketide. The structure of 1 was assigned by detailed spectroscopic analysis, supported by chemical derivatization and degradation, and C3 Marfey's analysis. Mollemycin A (1) exhibits exceptionally potent and selective growth inhibitory activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (IC50 10-50 nM) and drug-sensitive (3D7; IC50 7 nM) and multidrug-resistant (Dd2; IC 50 9 nM) clones of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.

This is an excellent and informative introduction to the subject, and is recommended for anyone interested in the history of minor British railways/tramways. This edition is 60 pages with 12 pages of photographs included in the page numbering, and with drawings, illustrations and maps. It is No. 75 in the Oakwood Press' Locomotion Papers, from 1974.
Page 3: "The Wotton Tramway was a rural byway in the heart of Buckinghamshire. It progressed from a primitive horse tramway to be part of the vast London Transport network. It existed for sixty-four years and was known by various names: to the locals it was and always will be "The Tram"; to outsiders it was the Brill Tram, and during Metropolitan days it was referred to as the Brill Branch. The Tramway survived many ups and downs and had an interesting and varied history."
This was a 6½ mile long standard gauge line, running from Quainton Road on the Aylesbury-Rugby line, in a roughly south-westerly direction via Wooton , to Brill, on the Princes Risborough to Bicester line. The line stopped ¾ mile from Brill itself. The Tramway opened in sections from 1871and closed in 1935.

So far, as of 9-20-16, 54,098 mail-in ballots have been requested, with 2,939 ballots returned and accepted as ballots for the general election.
Of the ballots returned and accepted so far:
Compared to the same day four years ago, total ballots accepted are 110 percent, with registered Democrats at 129 percent, registered unaffiliated voters at 142, and registered Republicans at 82 percent of where their numbers were in 2012.
An interesting aspect in comparing this year's numbers against the 2012 trend: at this point, registered Republicans took the lead in mail-in accepted ballots and held that lead up to Election Day. This year, registered Democrats still have the lead, by a little over 200 accepted mail-in ballots.
Updated & reminder: just because 'registered Democrats' seem to be leading does not equate to straight Democratic voters. North Carolina still has an undetermined amount of old-line Southern conservative Democrats who may still be registered with the party, but likely are Republican voters at the ballot box. If I had to hypothesize, then I would say that group is within the Silent/Greatest generation and the older Baby Boomer generation; I would surmise that those Gen Xers and Millennials who register with a party affiliation are truer supporters of that party allegiance, while those who are registering 'unaffiliated' tend to be 'independent but leaners' per national surveys and research on independents.
Of the over 50,000 outstanding ballots, the division between registered party affiliation is:

The SIHH 2019 – The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie which ran its course in Geneva last week. During 14th to 17th of January 2019, this year’s edition of SIHH 2019 gathered 18 of Switzerland’s finest watchmakers along with 17 independent names. With 35 ultra-luxurious exhibitors, including luxury brands like Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, and Hermès, this event offered to the all design-world some of the most technically advanced and expensive timepieces with exclusive design.
SIHH 2019 renowned splicing of age-old craftsmanship and forward-thinking technology brought forward a battle of supremacy. Modern watches, new ideas and collections, and the latest innovations were applied and introduced. Furthermore, one of the greatest news about this watch fair was the announcement that in 2020 we would see SIHH collaborating with Baselworld.
From the current trailblazers of the blue dial trend to the cohort of entirely new lines, we want to inspire you and show the new upcoming design trends for 2019. Take a look at these 10 remarkable and unique watches!
The Micros Updates
This edition of the Balencier Contemporain, at 39.6 mm, is Greubel Forsey’s smallest timepiece yet to fit the independent watchmaker’s exclusive oversized balance-wheel system.
New Marvelous Lines
Designed by Ini Archibong, the new Galop d’Hermès was one of the highlights for women at SIHH 2019. The light is reflected in the curves, warming the metal and suffusing the shapes with vibrancy. Through the domed sapphire crystal, this unique watch exalts the gentleness of the dial.
Writing the History
The Lange 1 by A. Lange & Söhne was one of the first unique watches made following the re-establishment of this brand manufactory. This timepiece is an extraordinary combination of tradition and innovation which makes it a prime example of Lange watchmaking artistry. With pioneering features, this expensive watch is writing history.
Shades of Blue
In the Patrimony collection by Vacheron Constantin, we saw a striking majestic blue shade seep into its dials, from a classic hour-minute reference to its retrograde day-date model. The Genevan brand’s self-winding 40 mm Patrimony is a unique watch with 196 components of its Calibre 2460 Q6, including a 22-karat gold oscillating weight.
Swiss watchmaker and luxury brand Girard- Perregaux explored this new design trend in other ways. This expensive watch is a great example. Presenting an evolution of its predominant line, Laureato arrives in the watchmaking world’s first carbo glass material.
Bling and Precious Updates
The new Dazzling Rendez-Vous Night & Day modern watch with an exclusive design is a truly breathtaking wonder of watchmaking and refinement. With a new griffe setting technique, this timepiece by Jaeger-LeCoultre expresses generosity and preciousness: the form of its case and floral numerals, its two rows of diamonds and mother-of-pearl dial enlightens its Night & Day function.
The Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Edition “Mojave Desert” by IWC is the first watch with a case made from sand-colored ceramic. This unique watch is a limited-edition timepiece and its sand-colored ceramic is inspired by the Mojave Desert, home to the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake. Besides this, the color perfectly matches the uniforms worn by Navy pilots and is the result of a combination of zirconium oxide with other metallic oxides.
The Panerai Submersible Luna Rossa PAM 1039 is water resistant to 300 meters and features a very unique texture and look, resembling wood grain with a zebra pattern. Enhancing the strong personality, this modern watch is a great marriage between the luxury brand and Prada.
For its latest unveil at the Salon de la Haute Horlogerie 2019, the Swiss luxury brand Richard Mille takes us on a nostalgic trip to the candy store, creating a much colorful buzz once again. Get impressed, we present you some timepieces by the Richard Mille Bonbon collection.

Lots of pictures plus lots of recipes as I haven’t blogged for ages! Anyway I’m back from holiday, autumn is on the way and the harvest is starting. Here’s something from last weekend that was just a triumph even though modesty prevents me claiming all the credit…. maybe 97%…. 😉
Rob the butcher has been explaining to me over several weeks about a specific joint of pork that he calls a blade of pork. I did a little research and found out that on the other side of the Atlantic the joint is called a Boston butt. Apparently because they were packed in barrels or butts in Boston. You live and learn…
Anyway I decided that I should try it out and as it was nice weather the Big Green Egg and a long slow cook, a couple of friends and some wine seemed to be the right approach. I asked Rob for enough for four people and he replied that, as it was me, I would need two of them for four… not knowing any different, I readily agreed. It turned out to be over 4kg (9lbs) of pork. That’s quite a lot for four people, but it looked great! Here they are…
The dry rub was salt, fennel and nigella seed (crushed a bit), smoked paprika and a little pepper. Rubbed over the joints the day before cooking and wrapped up and left in the refrigerator overnight.
Next morning, temperature probe set for 95C internal meat temperature and a grill temperature of 110-120C (if you look carefully).
Some soaked hickory chips for a bit of smoke flavour and off we go!
Here’s the thing though… if you are going to slow cook meat the same day as you eat it… you have to get up early! I was expecting to serve at 8pm so the meat was in the Egg at 8am…
About 11 hours later after a day of controlling the temperature with the upper and lower air vents on the Egg, the desired temperature is reached and the meat is cooked to perfection. If you ever do this and watch the temperature of the meat carefully you will see that it goes up and down as various bits of the meat change their nature and consistency and some bits of it disappear altogether!
Looks a bit blackened but I assure you, that was the best bit!!!
And you simply pull it apart. The meat is beautifully cooked and soft, there is no connective tissue left in the meat at all and it comes completely cleanly off the bone.
So what would you serve with pulled pork Boston butts? Well, as I mentioned, the food from the garden is being harvested and I had all the ingredients for a coleslaw. Some of the carrots were a bit small… but never mind.
I am extremely proud of my cabbage that I hand reared from seed. It was absolutely perfect but that was purely down to beginners luck, no skill involved at all! 🙂 Of course you don’t have to grow your own cabbage and supermarket cabbages are perfectly all right, but growing your own is just a fantastic way to show off… you
I am a bit precious about the order to do the vegetables in, as I don’t like two things about some coleslaws – too much onion or pieces of apple that have gone brown! Yuk! This method should avoid both.
For a big bowl of coleslaw I grate half a medium size onion. When I finish crying, I juice half a lemon (not home grown) and mix it into the onion. The lemon juice “cooks” the onion a little and smooths the flavour so it’s less strong and raw tasting. Gentle onion is so much better in my view. Thinly slice half a white cabbage… and leave it on the board.
Core and small dice some desert apples to add some sweetness…
And mix the apples in to the onion and lemon juice straight away. If you leave them they’ll go brown but the lemon juice will keep them beautiful and for several days.
Grate the carrots and mix well it the apples and onion…
Then add the shredded cabbage, handful by handful, mixing as you go to make sure its all incorporated evenly together.
Now here’s the good bit… mayonnaise on its own will swamp the flavour of the vegetables but if you mix it 50:50 with creme fraiche you get a lovely light and creamy dressing that compliments the other flavours, but don’t use too much… its all about your cabbage. I use 2 desert spoons of mayonnaise and 2 of creme fraiche mixed well together for this big bowl.
A beautiful bowl of home grown coleslaw that will stay perfect (no brown apple pieces) if covered in the refrigerator for at least 5 days. Total time to make – about 5 months 🙂
Two butts was far too much for four people by the way… we barely ate one!! Which was good news as I took the rest for my lunch all week. With coleslaw!
And a dash of homemade chilli sauce from the excess of chillies, peppers and tomatoes that have been just perfect this year!
I love this time of year, don’t you?

Why can’t high-end restaurant workers unionise?
In the high-pressure world of fine dining, organising for better conditions makes sense.
In the high-pressure world of fine dining, organising for better conditions makes sense.
“Kitchens can’t be unionised. It just isn’t possible.” James*, who wanted to keep his identity private, is head chef and owner of a fine dining modern British restaurant in Yorkshire. He thinks the idea of kitchen staff organising for better conditions will never be more than a pipe dream.
“This is an industry that relies entirely on customer satisfaction. That can mean there has to be a sacrifice somewhere on the team. You can’t just down-tools and drop your tea towel the moment your shift finishes if there’s no one to cover. This isn’t like an office job, you can’t clock out because your hours are technically done. It doesn’t work like that.”
As a boss and business-owner, his anxieties about the future survival of his business are clear. It is the idea of strikes and mass walkouts that seems to trouble him most when considering how unions would impact the industry - likely a result of witnessing widespread industrial action across multiple sectors over the last year.
“It’s not even worth thinking about what the benefits of a unionised workforce could be, because it’s just unattainable,“ he argues. “It isn’t feasible for a small business like mine to have to, for example, pay for someone to be off sick for a year, or to find skilled staff to cover if everybody decides to walk out. We wouldn’t survive. The industry wouldn’t survive.”
His fears are common within an industry notorious for its precariousness. Most independent restaurants don’t make it - 60% don’t survive past the first year, and 80% go under in five years - which is 10% above the normal business failure rate. This instability has only got worse in the last few years. In 2022, 1,406 restaurants fell into insolvency amid worker shortages, the lasting impact of the pandemic, and now the cost of living crisis.
But, while it's understandable that owners and employers are grappling with myriad anxieties right now, none of these industry-wide problems are the fault of the worker. And yet it is employees - kitchen and wait staff typically, in lower positions and on lower wages - who are first in line to be punished for the impact of forces outside their control.
James knows this. He says that in an ideal world “it would be a dream to be unionised”, but he simply can’t see how it could work without further damaging an industry that is already flailing.
There are, however, models for organising in the hospitality industry, both at home and across the pond.
In February, kitchen and wait staff at Lodi - an Italian-style cafe in New York’s Rockefeller Center - began wearing gold pins on their uniform to show support for the restaurant’s first-ever union. If they succeed, they could be the forerunners of a new organising movement at high-end culinary spots. However there has been swift and aggressive pushback from bosses. The fledgling union has already filed for unfair labour practice charges, alleging Mattos Hospitality - the restaurant group that runs Lodi - had held a number of captive-audience meetings, with the aim of discouraging unionisation. Mattos Hospitality denied these allegations, publishing a statement saying they are “committed to preserving their [the workers’] right to make an informed decision.”
Regardless of the backlash, the push by workers at Lodi is bold. While we have seen a swell of unionising among workers at chain restaurants and coffee shops in recent years, it is still far rarer in upmarket establishments.
This is in part due to smaller teams at independent restaurants and a lack of cohesive connection between workers at different establishments - making it tough to organise. It’s also likely a result of the historic disposability of kitchen staff, where high turnover used to mean it was too risky to raise complaints. However this is no longer the case due to labour shortages. Changing too, is the historic culture of toxicity, bravado and abuse that were a mainstay of elite kitchen environments.
"There's a weird masochistic streak in chefs"
Frequently depicted in popular culture - think Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, critically acclaimed HBO series The Bear, and recent blockbuster The Menu - there has been a fascination with and glamorisation of these hostile working environments, with some staff internalising the message that taking abuse is part of the job, or even makes you better. James remembers this well: “I’ve worked in some really aggressive kitchens,” he tells us.
“There was a lot of physical stuff. It was horrible back in the day. But it felt like you were learning from it, which sounds crazy. It was kind of a macho thing. You had to ‘earn your stripes’ to get respect. Looking back now, it was horrible. I went through some shit. I worked with some horrible human beings”
Robert Parks, head chef at double AA rosette restaurant Copper and Ink in London, and former Masterchef contestant, has similar memories of the early days of his career. He got his first professional job in a kitchen in 2015 after appearing on Masterchef, and he started out on the bottom rung of the ladder, working his way through ranks.
“It was pretty brutal to be honest,” Robert tells The Lead. “But there's a weird masochistic streak in chefs where you kind of enjoy how difficult and taxing it can be.” He says it wasn’t uncommon to work 80- or even 90-hour weeks, and people would use their longest streak of uninterrupted shifts as a badge of honour. “My longest was 10 consecutive shifts, starting at 7am and finishing past midnight,” says Robert. “You don't really realise how much your body and mind is suffering until you stop. If you just keep going, you don't give yourself an opportunity to really feel it.”
“The industry lacks good representation in government”
Now, things are different for Robert. He says the culture at Copper and Ink couldn’t be further removed from the toxicity he experienced earlier in his career. He says younger chefs like him want to break the cycle and provide an environment that encourages retention and enables longevity, rather than pushing people to breaking point.
As a paid-up member of the Labour Party, Robert says unionising is something he has always believed in. And, unlike James, he has a very clear vision of how it could work effectively within the restaurant industry. “Workers should have the right to withhold their labour,” he explains. “But I think there are also potential benefits for both employees and restaurant owners in the idea of staff unionising. One issue is how the hospitality industry is regarded within government. I feel that what the industry lacks is good representation in government. Unions are a fantastic way of achieving that. It can become a much more direct conversation - as we have seen with other sectors going through industrial action at the moment.”
That conversation is starting to happen here in the UK. Unite the Union is working to challenge poor employment practises across the sector, fighting for fair tips, decent wages and guaranteed minimum working hours. They have already backed a number of wins for workers in the sector, including a year-long campaign from Pizza Express staff to ensure they didn’t lose their right to 70% of tips made on credit cards, and a campaign to push for employers to provide safe transport home for staff after late shifts.
‘If bosses are not exploiting people, then they shouldn't worry about unionising’
As for the unique challenges of the restaurant industry, Robert doesn’t believe there is any issue that would make unionising impossible: “In terms of working hours, there are certain idiosyncrasies in the industry that are as they are. That would have to be reflected if people were unionised, but this isn’t unsurmountable,” he says.
“The bigger issue that needs to be tackled is where staff are being exploited - whether that’s in terms of hours, pay, or how they’re being treated at work. If bosses are not exploiting people, then they shouldn't have anything to worry about in terms of unionising. I think the argument that a union could be a slippery slope is an argument that's usually made by people who don't want change, full stop.”
For Robert, the precarity of the industry provides an opportunity for a change in culture and a shift in the balance of power. With workers no longer as disposable as they once were, he believes that in order for the industry to survive, owners and employers need to properly incentivise workers. No matter how difficult it may feel to change entrenched cultures, Robert says change is crucial for the future of restaurants.
“It is certainly a difficult time to be having these conversations for employers, because of how fine and how tight the margins are in the industry at the moment,” says Robert. “None of that is the fault of the employees. All of this is part of the broader conversation of what we can do, as a society, from a government level right down to an individual customer level, to make sure we can maintain the hospitality industry that we all enjoy.”

Dog therapy offering folks a stress break or just some extra loving
[gtxvideo vid=’F4lsCRK8′ thumb=’http://player.gtxcel.com/thumbs/F4lsCRK8.jpg’ vtitle=’Dog therapy’]
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) – Anyone who needed some extra loving or just a break with a pet — had that chance.
At Lexington Medical Center it offered folks a chance for a therapy dog stress break.
According to the American Heart Association pet ownership, particularly dog ownership, may help reduce a person’s risk for cardiovascular disease by reducing stress, heart rate, and blood pressure.


Micheal Sebamba known by his Tiktok account name as Mikeyseems2funny has made a comfortable life thanks to Tiktok. The app that was embraced by Ugandans in the last two years has become popular in Uganda and 5 months down the road, Sebamba is already making good money out of it.
Mikeyseems2funny who is also an LED screens operator at Fenon Events, one of the leading events companies in Uganda confirms he is making good money from Tiktok. Whereas other users are just following content that is posted by others and others just posting content without direction, Sebamba says he gives it time as an online content creator who then shoots quality comedy clean content and uploads.
The content has garnered him a huge number of online followers and physical fans who call him and appreciate with a small token. Tiktok, according to Sebamba doesn’t pay directly but endorsements that come from corporate clients are what pays. According to Sebamba, many companies have signed with him and others are yet to sign up with him to endorse their brands while recording his content.
He confirms that endorsements range from about Shs2.5M and above and for the fans, they can send to his phone as much as Shs500,000 for appreciation.

The Skoda Yeti is not the docile car that it appears to be. The 1.8l TSI Volkswagen engine is equipped on a large number of models of the Volkswagen group and it is able to give unexpected performance. This Alientech training will give you all the technical information you’ll need about the vehicle and control unit to get ready for the tuning procedure. After that, by following a wizard through the ECM Titanium software, you will be shown how to improve the 1.8l TSI’s performance while preserving the vehicle’s reliability.
With Alientech tuning procedures, you won’t need to understand the principles on which the tuning of the different maps is based, nor spend time creating a brand new tuning procedure on your own. You just have to buy the practice that deals with the vehicle you have in your workshop and start working on it to reach surprising and guaranteed results.
Were you given a vehicle equipped with a Volkswagen 1.8l TSI engine and a Bosch MED17.5 control unit, but you are not sure how to tune it so that the performance will improve? In 30 minutes, our example focused on a Volkswagen 1.8l TSI with a Bosch MED17.5 control unit will teach you all you need to know to perform an effective tuning on vehicles equipped with this combination.
First, these tuning practices offer a set of specific information about the vehicle, the engine, the control unit and the original file: this data, which is otherwise hard to find on your own, was carefully selected by our Alientech technicians. Then, after applying Alientech tuning method to the vehicle in question, you will be shown how to change the maps of the original file in order to get a tuned file that improves the Skoda Yeti’s performance and guarantees its reliability. This is possible thanks to numerous tests performed both on-bench and with diagnostic tools: the results can be found in the third section of the training.
This practice is useful either for slave tuners or beginners who don’t have enough experience to create a tuned file on their own, and for more experienced tuners, who will be able to compare their knowledge with our procedure. By successfully and affordably tuning a greater number of cars in your own workshop, you will widen your range of customers and, therefore, improve profits.
The 1.8l TSI installed on the Skoda Yeti is a versatile engine with unexpected performance. The Volkswagen Group has fitted the same engine on a large number of Skoda, Volkswagen, Seat and Audi vehicles. This course is the easiest way to increase exponentially the possibilities of your workshop towards a large number of petrol vehicles!
The 1.8l TSI combination controlled by the Bosch MED17.5 ECU is common to many car models: further proof of the reliability and adaptability of this equipment.
One lesson of about 25 minutes, composed by 3 sections:
vehicle, engine, control unit, connections and original file description
diagnostics and results
in this part of the course we will describe the characteristics of the vehicle by listing version, equipment, year of production, traction and type of gearbox.
Then, we indicate all the vehicles – even of different car manufacturers – equipped with the same engine or similar version; immediately after, the specifications of the engine control unit will be specified in detail: that is the identification data and the versions for the emission classes.
In addition, we talk about the types of connection with Alientech tools – which are useful for the remapping – by indicating the protocols of use, the available functions and giving some practical advice for editing operations. Finally, the structure of the original file is presented by indicating the addresses and the various areas.
this part directly addresses the remapping practice. After a brief introduction, we present the summary list of the maps that will be modified, the Alientech modification method and its specific application to the vehicle in question. Following the wizard of this online course, you will be able to create a mapping that will ensure high performance and guaranteed reliability.
this last part is dedicated to the discovery of the potentialities of this remapping practice: the new increases, compared to the original settings of the vehicle in a precise and detailed chart, clarify efficaciously how this remapping practice is effective and surprising.
The Volkswagen Golf VI GTI is a staple for performance enthusiasts. Alientech technicians analyzed the characteristics of the Volkswagen 2.0l TSI engine and developed a tuning procedure that makes it even better performing!

What Is Lycopene & What Foods Can I Find It In?
Lycopene is a very potent antioxidant produced by plants. It has several health benefits.
The unique thing about lycopene is that it becomes more bioavailable and therefore better for you to eat when it has been processed, but also if it's ingested together with beta-carotene.
It’s a non-provitamin A carotenoid. Non-provitamin A carotenoids mean that it do not exhibit Vitamin A activity, like many other carotenoids.
Lycopene is bright red and therefore found in fruits and vegetables that are red, except strawberries and cherries.
Table of Contents
Lycopene Is A Non-Provitamin A Caretenoid
Lycopene is a non-provitamin A carotenoid.
Non-provitamin A carotenoid means that lycopene can't be transformed in the body into vitamin A, as many other carotenoids can.
A non-provitamin A carotenoid is a compound present in plant foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, that can protect against the development of various diseases, including cancer.
Lycopene Is A Potent Antioxidant
Lycopene is one of the most potent antioxidants among dietary carotenoids. (source ◳)
Lycopene is considered to be a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the body from the damaging effects of free radicals.
These are unstable molecules that cause many problems for the body.
They are generated by certain environmental toxins and by the body itself.
Antioxidants are known to protect the body against free radicals. Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals and prevent them from causing damage to the body.
Antioxidants are also known to reduce the risk of heart disease, strokes, and cancer.
They can also help reduce the risk of cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and other eye diseases.
Lycopene is known to help protect the body from these diseases and to help reduce the risk of getting them.
Heat Your Tomatoes
Lycopene is found in high amounts in tomatoes. Even processed tomato products, such as juice, ketchup, paste, sauce, and soup, all are even better dietary sources of lycopene. (source ◳)
Processing raw tomatoes using heat transforms natural lycopene into a form that is easier to utilize by the human body. (source ◳)
Lycopene In Foods
Lycopene gives red to pink colors to some vegetables and foods. (source ◳)
Foods You Can Find Lycopene In
You find lycopene mostly in vegetables, sauces and gravys, and spices and herbs.
Examples of food sources include
- Tomato Powder
- Sun-Dried Tomatoes
- Dried Red Tomatoes
- Canned Tomato Paste
- Canned Tomato Puree
- Canned Tomato Sauce

In any case, this ideology was followed in the early stages of production of the respective technology segment. But the current abundance of goods on the market goes beyond the traditional purpose. In the ranking of the best car alarms in 2021, you can find devices equipped with GSM, GPS and other useful options.
Our list includes models from three price categories:
- Alarms with one-way communication – they only provide for sending commands from the remote control to the module (opening / closing the car, turning off the alarm). As you understand, signal transmission in the opposite direction is not available for budget devices.
- Feedback signals: These models support signal transmission in both directions: from the remote control to the device and sending notifications to the remote control, smartphone or other devices. As a rule, in such car alarms, a GSM module is implemented to track the location of the car.
- Auto start and GPS alarm: These models support automatic start and stop of the engine at a specified time (if there is a timer) or based on the ambient temperature for heating. The module, in turn, is responsible for determining the geographical coordinates of the alarm.
Inexpensive and good car alarms
And experienced motorists face difficult questions when they think about buying such equipment. What can we say about users who faced such a task for the first time … Given this circumstance, we tried to collect car alarms with different prices in our rating. In the entry and mid-budget categories, you’ll find:
- budget (see 1-3) – one-sided cost up to 3000 rubles;
- in terms of price / quality ratio (see 4-6) – with feedback up to 15,000 rubles.
Recommendations for selection are given at the end of the article. Good vision!
DaVinci’s one-way signaling model, the PHI-130, is the top 10 car alarm of the current year. The device of the initial price category provides for blocking the main unit, the engine relay. Includes dual range shock sensor. Included is a set of necessary cables, 2 remote controls. The signal transmission distance is 50 meters. Judging by the comments of the pilots, the dynamic signal quality is quite satisfactory for this category. The build quality is also hard to find fault with. The CAN module is missing as a siren.
- dynamic signal;
- transmission distance;
- good structure;
- low price.
In the segment of good budget models, the inexpensive two-way car alarm Scher-Khan T1 looks advantageous, bewitching with a large control range, convenient software support and scan protection. According to the manufacturer, this device boasts a search range of 1000 meters. The keychain has a high-quality design, on which you can find a neat display. Among the shortcomings, we note that in this series a power relay is not provided. I am glad that the connection of the smartphone with the head unit is carried out using a key fob. Of course there is an immobilizer, CAN support. The shock or vibration sensor supports 3 levels of control.
- there is an immobilizer;
- protection system;
- good display;
- handy application.
- Power relay not included.
The Pandora DX 57 model adds to the list of car alarms with a GPS module, which differs from analogues in the improved quality of the dialogue radio channel. The automatic start model has minimal power consumption. The car alarm has 16 security zones, including wheels. Despite the affordable cost, this device has a power heater and does not require other devices. This model lacks Bluetooth control, which is typical for many analogues, but this is not necessary here. At the same time, a high-quality key fob, created according to the IATF 16949: 2016 standard, deserves special attention. This speaks not only of practicality, but also of the reliability of this series of car alarms.
- leading brand;
- modern features;
- quality of protection;
- engine starting.
Pandect also offers good two-way car alarms. However, the X-3110 system will definitely not satisfy the acceptable price. However, this is easy to understand, because the device supports GSM / GPRS, automatic engine start. At the same time, it is suitable for automatic transmissions and diesel engines. Pros include a Bluetooth adapter and a nice regular key fob. Using a special applet, you can check RFID tags both from a personal computer and from a mobile device. In turn, the built-in sensor with 3 zones of tilt, impact and movement expands the functionality of the security system. They can be configured remotely. Connecting additional devices is the same as provided for by the design – you can add control systems for elevators, a trunk lock and even lighting. In addition, the function of a passive immobilizer was implemented.
- input IMMO / KEY;
- excellent equipment;
- GSM alarm;
- Bluetooth adapter;
- management of RFID tags.
- high cost of the system.
StarLine A63 GSM ECO
The best inexpensive car alarms in 2021, in our opinion, is another model from the best manufacturer – StarLine A63 GSM ECO. In the category of advanced security systems and telematics with GSM, this is certainly one of the most affordable models. The device attracts with the support of optional 2CAN + 2LIN and GLONASS interfaces. In addition, the system received a shock-resistant key fob with a 128-channel transceiver, the alert range of which reaches 2000 meters. Judging by the description of the developer, this device feels safe in various weather conditions: at temperatures from -50 to +85 degrees. Thanks to the patented technology, the battery lasts for 60 days.
- well-known manufacturer
- battery charging time;
- software solutions;
- wear resistance at temperatures.
- not the best model in its segment.
The best car alarms with feedback
This category contains premium talkback templates. Representatives of the premium segment are able to provide users with comprehensive protection and additional features. In particular, they provide tracking of the location of the car via GPS, support other tracking technologies. At the same time, they are distinguished by the highest level of usability.
StarLine A93 2CAN 2LIN GSM ECO
The best car alarm in terms of price / quality ratio for 2021 remains the StarLine A93 2CAN + 2LIN GSM ECO model, designed for connection to CAN and LIN buses. An excellent solution for different Lada models. A good GSM module is used to implement telematics tasks. The set also includes two additional key rings. The problem is that the remote control with feedback is purchased separately – basic devices lack this option and the screen. This is evidenced by the mark “ECO” in the name of the system. Satisfied with GSM / GPRS connection, the most affordable price and flexible module settings using a personal computer and special software. It is possible to significantly increase the content of information, as well as the volume, which is limited only by the coverage of mobile communications. For better results, the manufacturer recommends installing an additional GPS antenna.
- good structure;
- GSM / GPRS support;
- the price of money;
- proprietary software;
- simple setup.
- simple key rings included.
Pandect X-1900BT 3G
In the premium model of the already well-known brand Pandect X-1900 BT 3G, only the siren is missing. Otherwise, everything is like a good car alarm with feedback and automatic engine start. Of course, if you are willing to pay the amount indicated in the table (see below). Benefits include support for GSM, 3G, GPRS and Bluetooth networks. In addition, the company’s engineers took care of supporting protocol 4.2 and newer. Thanks to the presence of two CAN / LIN buses, the system can be installed on almost any vehicle wiring. The system supports 13 independent security zones at the same time, which allows full monitoring, and any alarm notification is instantly sent to the user’s phone.
- GPRS support;
- Bluetooth 4.2;
- two CAN/LIN buses;
- 13 security zones;
- good design.
This is a lightweight version of the Pandora DX 9x premium car alarm with two-way start and auto start. The features of this line include a proprietary application, thanks to which it is possible to connect to the device via a smartphone via Bluetooth. In addition to the remote control, I liked the immobilizer and the Anti-HiJack function. If necessary, you can enjoy convenient operation with a stable remote control at a frequency of 868 MHz, which indicates a stable signal. At the same time, the key fob of this series is distinguished by good ergonomics, durability and an OLED screen. Another advantage is the LIN / 2xCAN module, which ensures the stable operation of the security system.
- level of reliability;
- trunk protection sensor;
- quality keychain;
- automatic execution system.
- not a premium line.
StarLine A97 3CAN+4LIN
The place of the former leader in the category of premium car alarms with good feedback and automatic engine start is taken by the StarLine A97 3CAN + 4LIN model, which supports many useful and modern options – from Super Slave mode to invisible blocking. An additional authorization function is provided (validation provides additional security). Also noteworthy is the intelligent 3D control system, as well as protection against repeaters (protection against signal interception). There is a built-in buzzer and Bluetooth Smart, which can be installed on a smartphone with any operating system. 60 flexible logic programs are available, 3CAN + 4LIN digital integration is supported.
- number of options;
- protection system;
- double check;
- handy application.
Pandora DXL 4750
The best car alarm in 2021 is the Pandora DXL 4750 model, which has a full range of functions – from 3CAN to GLONASS. At the same time, the abundance of functions did not prevent the manufacturer from taking care of the low level of power consumption. It should be noted that the major digital bus protocols are supported; Immobilizer bypass algorithms are available. The main difference between this line and its predecessor is the updated D-023 keychain. As you understand, this car alarm uses a 4G modem. It is also necessary to note a powerful chipset that ensures the range and stability of signal transmission. The model is practically not afraid of any interference.
- economic model;
- interference protection;
- many functions;
- good processor.
How to choose the right car alarm?
In fact, we have identified the main types of car alarms, emphasizing the advantages of models with feedback and automatic engine start. But in addition to these options, there are a huge number of parameters that must be considered when buying a security system. If you do not know how to choose a good car alarm, let’s start in order:
- Number of security zones. The more independent zones with their own set of sensors, the better. Ideally, the corresponding sensors are located in the trunk, covering the doors, hood, and more. Advanced systems show the specific point of impact or vibration on the screen of a smartphone or a two-way key fob;
- Protection mode. “Silent Arming”, “Silent Arming”, “Auto Arming” – this is the optimal set of useful functions.
- Useful features. Modern security systems have a “service mode” (disabling signals and warnings, control units). Convenient when using gas station services;
- Automatic start. This is the ability to remotely turn on and off the car engine.
- control range. Obviously, the greater the maximum distance, the better. One has only to add that the alarm clocks themselves are rarely limited by any parameters. Rather, it refers to transmitters, the quality of which determines the range of transmission and reception of the signal.
- Vibration signal. This feature is used in modern cell phones. Like known sensations, this can be implemented in car alarm key fobs.
In addition, it is worth paying attention to a number of auxiliary parameters.
As practice shows, very often attackers find “failures” in security systems by scanning and identifying vulnerabilities in car alarms. For this reason, modern systems are equipped with anti-scan protection. The bottom line is that they intercept the signal to disarm the security system, preventing the risk of gaining access to the native key.
It is worth noting that this function can be implemented in different ways depending on the category of equipment and technologies of the brand. Among the most common:
- Dynamic Encryption: The keychain as well as the system changes the communication codes with each exchange of information;
- Dialogue format: the remote control and the system exchange different “keys”, rejecting unauthorized requests from the outside.
It would not be superfluous to say that in addition to protection methods, scanning methods are also improving, so it is worth dwelling on modern car alarms.
Contents of delivery
Even inexpensive modern models are equipped with a CAN module that allows you to connect equipment to an electronic bus. It is found in most modern cars. In addition, the number of such elements is constantly growing. Using various sensors, this module allows you to receive information about the status of certain parts, including opening doors, trunk, hood.
The kit also includes one or more remote controls with one-way support or feedback, depending on the class of technology. Usually displays support expensive systems. Lockout Lockout: The presence of this item as part of the configuration indicates that the vehicle’s engine can be locked out if a security breach is suspected.
Nutrition and memory
It’s okay if the car alarm has its own power source. In addition, the format of this technique can be different, as well as the power. In some models, it plays the role of a fallback, in others – the main one. In both cases, this feature makes the signal independent of the on-board circuitry, which is extremely important.
even better if the model provides for the presence of non-volatile memory. Content will be saved even without access to energy.
The rated current consumption of the alarm only affects the time the equipment will run on its own battery. In addition, manufacturers usually indicate the current in protection mode. Therefore, once again I want to focus on the importance of supporting an autonomous power source.
Which car alarm is better to buy in 2021?
Therefore, you need to rely on finances and the class of equipment, taking into account the first parameter. If you do not know which car alarm to buy, consider the information provided in the price table, we have tried to take average values for products from leading manufacturers in different segments. Before summing up, it is also worth mentioning that the design of any model can support a different number of additional channels. Each of them is used to connect certain equipment. Therefore, before buying a particular system, please clarify this issue in the service. Like:
- The best cheap car alarm is Scher-Khan T1;
- A good model with two-way communication is the Pandect X-3110;
- The maximum security system in terms of price and quality ratio – StarLine A93;
- Premium car alarm – Pandora DXL 4750.

Nonetheless, it appeared like only 32% of females are pleased with what corporations are doing when an precise sexual harassment circumstance pops in their environment.
What Female Gamers Knowledge on Digital Fact Online games
This challenge is now turning out to be a ‘normal’ factor that persons do to get interest from diverse ladies or gentlemen that they see.
What’s additional shocking is that sexual harassment seemed to be obvious– not just on a physical environment but also to the virtual fact world.
If you happen to be a girl and you can expect to gown up as a girl playing a character on a virtual reality game, there will be moments that you will practical experience harassment in quite a few types via this engineering.
In an article written by virtual gamer Taylor Lorenz in 2016, she comprehensive her story of being harassed on virtual fact as if she was ‘ripped’ and ‘transported again to middle college.’
According to her, she was playing AltspaceVR– a person of the major VR game titles– at the time.
She entered the welcome place wherein a several minutes later on, she obtained an unsolicited ‘virtual kiss’ from a random enjoying character. Just after this, Lorenz’s character was now surrounded by other male enjoying characters inquiring whether her bodily visual appeal on the activity is the exact same with her– though rubbing their palms alongside with her digital entire body.
However Lorenz understood that VR only gives slight sensation to real bodies in buy to sense the recreation, she felt sexually harassed after participating in on AltspaceVR– just like they actually touched her body with their arms.

Technically, a whole lot of VR organizations presently recommended all gamers that experience any kinds of sexual harassment on the sport.
Most of them place an uncomplicated blocking instrument for gamers to block a selected character and report them on the stream as sexual offenders or such.

A further tip that they shared is that VR corporations must include a ‘granular control’ on their VR spaces that will give quick access for gamers when they felt that a certain character or team is finding way too considerably near with their private place.

A Song of Ice & Fire (and Data): Team Reveals Patterns in “Game of Thrones” Deaths
This Sunday, April 14, the final season of "Game of Thrones" premieres, promising an answer to a years-long guessing game: Which character will claim the Iron Throne once and for all? The conclusion of "GoT" may be one of the most tightly held -- and most anticipated -- secrets in showbiz.
Since it premiered in 2011, the fantasy phenomenon has rewritten the rules of prestige TV with its shocking character deaths. With no one safe from an untimely end, "Game of Thrones" raised the stakes of each episode and created a massive fan base that happily waits for the axe to fall -- sometimes literally -- on major characters.
OBLIGATORY SPOILER WARNING: Plot twists and details of seasons one through seven discussed below.
However, there are clues to the show's secret formula. Math professor Tim Chartier and Cats Stats student researchers George Baldini, David Lee, Fabio von Schelling Goldman and Zach Nussbaum have found patterns in the first seven seasons that may reveal when we can expect major characters to die in the final six episodes.
Quick note about the data: Chartier originally analyzed the first six GoT seasons while he served as Chief Academic Officer for data analytics firm Tresata. "Game of Thrones Death Timeline" is the source of data for seasons one through six and also the source for character classification. Cats Stats analyzed season seven independently.
Who's going to die?
The creators of the show frequently serve as the chief executioners. Deaths of major characters occur almost entirely in episodes penned by creators and showrunners David Benioff & D.B. Weiss. (The only major exception is Joffrey's death in season four.) This is particularly significant this season as they do not author the first two episodes of the last season. However, they take over from there, writing the final four.
When are they going to die?
If the show follows the pattern above, our favorite characters may be safe for the first two episodes. But, once the opening credits end for the third episode, should viewers grab a cushion and get ready for the ride? Data shows that major characters haven't died at random times. There are patterns in both the timing of deaths during a season and within an episode.
First, the Davidson group looked at when deaths occur after the opening credits. This graph shows that on average, major deaths occur at two times: approximately 20 percent into the episode or at the very end.
What does that mean for viewers? Episodes three through six of season eight are super-sized. With an expected run time of 80 minutes, it's probably safe to relax after the opening 20 minutes. But when the episode passes the one-hour mark, you'll want to be on high alert. Of course, that doesn't mean nothing happens between those times. We see from the bar charts in yellow and blue that minor and recurring characters die throughout the show.
When do characters tend to die during the season? Again, the Davidson group worked with percentages, since season seven consisted of only seven rather than 10 episodes. Although major characters die throughout the season, we see below that they die most often at the end of a season. This isn't exactly shocking of course, as most GoT seasons have built toward explosive climaxes every season.
One thing to keep in mind: We are in uncharted territory. The final GoT book hasn't even been published (much less written, for that matter) so there are no guide posts. One thing has been clear, when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. We don't know who the winner will be, but the data may give us hints of some of the drama yet to come.
