![]() ![]() The Abode Standard plan is self-monitored and costs $6 per month. Both provide for cloud storage (there is no local storage option) of motion-triggered video recordings from an unlimited number of Abode cameras on a 10-day timeline, but the most important differences between the two plans are related only to Abode’s broader smart-home/home-security ecosystem. Again, there’s no way to force the camera into IR mode it’s all automatic.Īs noted above, you’ll need one of Abode’s two paid subscription plans to do anything except view a live feed. (There’s no way to adjust sensitivity in the app.) Low-light and no-light clips look fine, but as usual the black-and-white infrared clips were much clearer than the “full color” ones. Unfortunately, I found Abode’s motion-sensing to be fairly low in sensitivity, to the point where it missed out on some obvious activity in front of the lens. (Note: Cloud-based recordings are only available with a subscription details below.) After a quick firmware update, I found managing the camera in the app to be rather straightforward, offering a reasonably clear but unremarkable live video stream along with a modest collection of features that include the ability to record a video clip, snap a still image, or scroll back in time to review previous recordings. I tested the Abode Cam 2 with Abode’s Iota smart home system and it set up quickly, connecting to my Wi-Fi network and Abode’s app in a matter of minutes. ![]() If you have a video-compatible Alexa or Google Home device, the Abode Cam 2 will work with either. (The camera automatically shifts into infrared mode when things get very dark.) Connectivity is via Wi-Fi (2.4GHz only), and the camera supports two-way audio.

Amethyst is a marvelous aid in overcoming addictions by counteracting the effects of drugs and alcohol on brain function while imparting its own peaceful sustaining energy.īecause Amethyst initiates wisdom and greater understanding, it is a comforting crystal for those grieving the loss of a loved one. It also helps one understand the reality of cause and effect in behavior and assists in better decision-making. It was credited with creating an atmosphere of pious calm, imbuing a sense of mental peace, and quietude.Īmethyst helps in identifying the root causes behind one’s negative behaviors, habits, and emotional patterns that create imbalance and disease. Additionally, Amethyst was popular in rosaries and prayer beads. It was also often used to align planetary and astrological influences. In Eastern cultures, it was listed in descriptions of sacred "gem-cities", "trees of life", and used in temple offerings for worship. To the Egyptians, it was Hemag, listed in the Book of the Dead to be carved into heart-shaped amulets for burial. To the Hebrews, it was Ahlamah, the ninth stone in the breastplate of the High Priest engraved with the tribe of Dan, as well as the twelfth foundation stone for the New Jerusalem. In the spiritual world, an Amethyst crystal provided a connection to the Divine. Like other royal stones, it protected its wearer from disease and infection.

Schawbel: Can you share an example of how you transformed your life after creating a discipline and sticking to it? Instead, try looking at the person that is talking to you. Don’t look at your phone every three seconds. In fact, your phone buzzing probably isn’t even a person-it's a robocall from a solar installation company trying to drum up business. Who is it that you think is calling or emailing or texting you that absolutely MUST hear from you RIGHT NOW? The President? Elon Musk? Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson? Sorry to break it to you, it’s not them. Even constantly checking your phone is not good. Obviously, talking to a person that is staring at their phone doesn’t build anything but annoyance and frustration. There are situations where a phone call or a face-to-face visit are needed.Īlso, there are times where technology can hurt a relationship. But it is also important to know that texts and emails have limits. I text message and email with friends and clients all the time. In fact, it can help-as long as the technology is used to augment relationships and doesn’t become the main conduit of interaction. I don’t think technology hurts relationship in business or in life. Willink: I am not anti-technology at all. Schawbel: What are some disciplines for using technology less and focusing on deep personal relationships more? As you continue to spend time attacking your weaknesses, over time, they will become strengths. Afraid to email your boss on that tough topic? Send the email.Īlthough all these actions will be uncomfortable at first, you will get more comfortable over time. Uncomfortable speaking to groups? Volunteer to teach a class at work. Instead of avoiding weaknesses, try attacking them. When we do that, we never progress or get any better. We all have a tendency to avoid our weaknesses. Willink: Step number one is not to run from them. Schawbel: What are some strategies for conquering your weaknesses and potentially turning them into strengths? Life becomes much better when you do that. Write the list or the schedule the night before, and then do what you said you would do. One of the best mental disciplines for people to implement is simply putting together a schedule or a task list and actually executing it. Discipline equals freedom applies to every aspect of life: if you want more freedom, get more discipline. You also have to have the discipline to say “No” to things that eat up your time with no payback-things like random YouTube videos, click-bait on the internet, and even events that you agree to attend when you know you won't want to be there. If you want more free time, you have to follow a more disciplined time management system. If you want financial freedom, you have to have financial discipline. But the only way to get to a place of freedom is through discipline. ![]() Freedom is what everyone wants - to be able to act and live with freedom. Jocko Willink: While Discipline and Freedom seem like they sit on opposite sides of the spectrum, they are actually very connected. After retiring, Jocko continued on the disciplined path of success, co-founding Echelon Front, a multi-million dollar leadership and management consulting company, writing the #1 New York Times bestseller Extreme Ownership, the children's book Way of the Warrior Kid, and creating one of the top-ranking podcasts, JOCKO PODCAST.ĭan Schawbel: What is the connection between discipline and freedom?

CatCraft combines everyone's love of cute cats with Minecraft vanilla survival play. It's a highly entertaining deviation from the usual Minecraft options.

Whether or not this is a deal breaker for your application, that will depend on if you are more interested in spatial detail, or spatial coverage. Given that the array of each sensor is the same (5472 x 3648 pixels), the difference in ground resolution element for each system is therefore just 0.3 cm per pixel (3.2 cm per pixel for the Evo vs. ![]() In effect this means that mapping data will cover a slightly larger area with the Evo, but with slightly lower ground resolution.įor example, at a flying altitude of 100m (over flat terrain), the width of an Evo image will represent 174m, while a Mavic image would cover 160m. The Evo has a wider field of view at 82 degrees compared to 77 degrees on the Mavic. There’s not a great deal to split between the two cameras. I was too scared to try though □ The Camera However, there is an option to change the ‘standard’ speed setting to ‘ludicrous’ and that might resolve this issue. Perhaps the Mavic is a little quieter in flight? I also found the Evo a bit slow taking off, which would be a concern for me in some environments when it’s better to get up and away (e.g. I’ve not tested these capabilities, and certainly if it’s a Force 8 wind in the marine environment there will be so much chop on the water’s surface that there’s no point in mapping anyway!Īside from these specifications (and various others that really don’t weigh in to my decisions) that you can get directly from the website of the respective drone companies, operationally these drones are very similar. Wind resistance – Incredibly the Evo claims that it can withstand up to Force 8 winds (62-74 km/h), while the Mavic only claims Force 5 (29-38 km/h).That would also mean carrying fewer batteries, so the complete package may actually end up lighter than the Mavic… Mavic’s 31 mins is a substantial difference and would result in several more hectares mapped. Flight time – of course we know that we never actually achieve the advertised flight time, but assuming that both companies inflate these numbers equally, then the E’s 40 mins vs.365g), but this plays into the flight time as per the next dot point.

How I wish LinkedIn allowed tables for these sorts of comparisons… I’ve picked out a few of the specs that are most important to me. I aim to use the best equipment for the job regardless of the brand, so hopefully the following information is useful to you as well. I have no affiliation with either of these companies and remain brand agnostic with the drones I fly. However I do expect that the differences I experience in using them will remain in their newly updated models. Both of these drones will be superseded any day now. In this review I’ll focus on the following: the drone, remote controller, camera, and the app stack.īut firstly a caveat. I’m not a photographer or videographer so I’ll leave those opinions up to the experts! And yes you might argue that there are better (and more expensive) models out there but let’s start with these entry level offerings.

Under normal conditions they are not very destructive however, if several generations of carpenter bees have been tunneling in the same area, extensive damage is possible. Carpenter bees do not consume wood, but their tunneling can be destructive to softwoods and hardwoods alike. “Unlike the bumble bee that typically builds colonies in the ground, the carpenter bee is a solitary bee preferring to live and nest alone in wood tunnels.

It has the same active ingredients as the termite foam, so use whichever one you’re able to find. Note: Spectracide now also sells Carpenter Bee and Ground Nesting Yellow Jacket Killer Foam. ![]() Carpenter bees will build their nests in existing holes, if they can find them, so if you have a trap full of carpenter bee-sized holes hanging near by, they’re likely to crawl inside to check it out, and when they do, you’ll have them trapped. But it’s definitely important to block the holes right away because it forces the bees, who weren’t in their nests when you sprayed, to go in search of new nesting sites, and it also kills the larvae they’ve laid, so you don’t have more bees hatching out next year. If we’re short on time, we just cram a stick up the holes until we have time to make a more permanent fix. Afterwards, we fill the holes in with caulk or wooden dowels. Then, we treat the holes they’ve bored with Spectracide Termite Killing Foam (it’s formulated for carpenter bees, too). We hang our traps where we’re seeing carpenter bee activity. Instead of finding their way out, they find themselves in the jar, and can’t figure out how to get back out. ![]() They see light coming up from the hole at the base of the trap, and move towards it, assuming it’s the exit.

I’m far from the only person to sing Stretch Concealer’s praises on the internet. It’s especially amazing under the eyes for brightening and covering dark circles, and on areas of redness or discoloration. The first time I put it on I was amazed at how quickly the product disappeared into my skin, becoming undetectable. This concealer is so lightweight that you can put it all over your face without it feeling heavy - I’ve heard quite a few people say they basically use this as foundation. Then I set with a tiny bit of powder to prevent creasing. I find the warmth of my fingertips helps the concealer sink in. ![]() To apply, I warm it up in the pot with my ring finger and tap it onto the skin. There are currently five shades - Light, Medium, Dark, Deep, and Rich - but I find the product sheer and blendable enough that you should be able to find a close enough color match. Glossier Stretch Concealer owes its lightweight, hydrating texture to several ingredients: beeswax and microcrystalline wax, avocado and jojoba oils, cocoa butter, and adaptable mineral pigments. If you’re super oily or looking for full-coverage, this might not be the pick for you. This is a very specific formula - dewy, emollient, and natural-looking, with medium coverage. I didn’t list it as my top pick only because this product is not quite as versatile as the Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage. I use it almost every day, and for occasions as varied as grocery stores runs and weddings (including my own). Glossier Stretch Concealer is my favorite beauty product of all time, the one I’d bring with me if I were stranded on a desert island but still needed to look awake for some reason.

Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage appears on just about every list of concealer recommendations and is a popular choice for makeup artists. Apply this with a smaller, flat brush to get the best targeted coverage. The thicker consistency also ensures the concealer stays put all day, even on tricky spots like raised blemishes. It works like a dream on pimples and sun spots due to the high coverage and long-lasting formula. I find the formula a touch dry for under my eyes, but oilier skin types will love it.
