the flash) farther away from the lens, the effect diminishes. One of the problems is that most reflective materials are designed to reflect light back in a relatively narrow cone, so if the photographer moves the source of the light (i.e. Unfortunately for celebrities everywhere, the clothing is far from foolproof, and there are many ways around the effects. How can photographers foil the anti-paparazzi clothing? In this photo, you can see what it looks like when the camera is thrown for a loop by the reflective bands on this reflective jacket. If I sent this to my picture editor, I’d be fired on the spot. In effect, the camera is exposing “correctly” for the reflective material, but incorrectly for everything else in the scene, probably ruining the photo.Īllow me to illustrate with a high-viz jacket and a kitten. Reflective materials do the opposite by reflecting a lot more light back at the camera than normal fabrics, the camera believes the scene is a lot brighter than it is and it reduces the flash output. As a result, the image would be far too bright, and probably ruined. If you were able to trick the camera into thinking the scene was much, much darker, it would tell the flash to increase its output. Imagine there was a way to trick the camera into thinking that the scene looks different than it actually does. The five steps above take just fractions of a second - it’s so fast, in fact, that you’re unlikely to even realize that there were two light flashes rather than one. The shutter opens, the flash fires for real this time, and the photo is taken.The camera tells the flash how much light it needs for a “correct” exposure, and the flash will increase its flash output to match how much light the camera requested.The pre-flash bounces off the subject and is returned to the camera through the camera’s lens. The brightness of this flash is measured by the camera.The flash will emit a small flash of light known as a “pre-flash.”.The photographer presses the shutter button, and the camera tells the flash that the photographer wants to take a photo. ![]() ![]() Most camera flashes (or “strobes,” if you will) used by paparazzi photographers are controlled by the camera, in a so-called “through the lens” or TTL automatic mode. If you’ve ever driven down a road and seen your headlights illuminate road signs almost impossibly far away, or if you’ve seen so-called cat’s eyes, you’ve seen it in action. These are textiles, plastics or metal that will reflect light back to its source. The trick is to use retro-reflective materials. Betabrand’s Flashback Photobomber and Flashback Silverscreen, and the ISHU anti-paparazzi scarves are some commercially available examples, but the basic technique has been in use for quite a while by camera-shy celebrities around the world. There are a few brands that offer anti-paparazzi clothing. Anti-paparazzi clothing has been around for a while, and if you’ve ever wondered how it works, oh boy have you come to the right place. If paparazzi have a right to take photos ( they do) and newspapers are allowed to print photos taken by paparazzi ( they do), it stands to reason that those in the brief spotlight of an eager photographer’s flash have a right to fight back, too (they do).

Use the Right Apple Accountįirst, make sure that the Apple account you are logged in with is the same one used on all your devices. After trying the right solution, you should be able to find wanted photos synced to your iPhone. Part 2: 5 Ways to Fix iPhone Not Showing iCloud Photosįor all the abovementioned problems, we offer you corresponding solutions. If the situations above occur to you, and you cannot find certain photos on your phone, don’t worry, because we have got you covered. Sometimes, there is no issue with the iCloud or iPhone, but it takes some time for iCloud photos to sync, especially when you have taken plenty of photos or videos, or when the Internet connection is poor. This is when the server is under maintenance, but the photos will be uploaded as usual as soon as the problem is solved. Sometimes, the Apple server has problems, so the iCloud is not working. This mode ensures that you use less cellular data, but can also limit your photos syncing between iCloud and your device. It might also be because you turned on low data mode. If the Wi-Fi or cellular data is slow, it is possible for iCloud to stop uploading pictures, so you can’t find them. If you turn off the iCloud Photos syncing on your device, the photos will not be uploaded to iCloud, and thus they will not show on your iPhone Internet Connectionįor iCloud to sync photos, there should be a stable Internet connection. ![]() If the accounts differ, you will probably not find the specific photos that you uploaded to iCloud on your iPhone. You need to use the same Apple account to sync pictures of your iPhone onto iCloud.

Taking its name from the infamous cobbles of Paris-Roubaix, the Roubaix from Specialized is one of the machines that started the endurance-bike party in the first place. The only reason it’s not our best buy is it’s rather eye-watering price-tag. Plus, buying from an independent brand like Mason means there won’t be ten other riders there with the same bike. Armchair levels of comfort with beautifully balanced handling and timeless looks that will make you the envy of everyone on the group ride. It is, quite simply, the best aluminium bike we’ve ever ridden. However, there are plenty of other off-the-shelf build options, or just get in touch with Mason and they can spec the bike according to your personal requirements.Īt the core of it all is Mason’s not-so-secret weapon: a high-end, Italian-made aluminium frame, boasting beautiful craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail that puts it firmly in the “premium” category. The one we tested came equipped with electronic shifting courtesy of a SRAM force AXS groupset, a set of hunt wheels, and some beefy 32mm Continental GP 5000 tyres which really helped to take the edge off poorly surfaced roads. Suffice to say it was a baptism of fire, but the bike didn’t disappoint. Our first ride on Mason’s definition road bike took us 140 miles from Newcastle to Dumfries and Galloway via the Solway Coast. You can even opt for a gradient finish, pick the colour of the decals and choose to have your cockpit painted to match the frame. Everything from the wheels to the stem can be changed, and you’ll also be given the option of a custom paint job, where you can choose from a matte, gloss or sparkle finish and no less than 15 different colour options for the frame. Perhaps this is why it’s the bike of choice for the Ribble Weldtite pro team, who are no strangers to pushing bikes to their limits.Īnother feature we’re big fans of is Ribble’s “Bikebuilder” service, which allows you to mix and match hardware and componentry for a bike that’s perfectly suited to your requirements. It looks and feels racy, but even after 108 miles and 10,000ft of Yorkshire’s toughest climbs we still found it comfortable. From the sleek integrated cockpit to the custom colour options, everything about this bike’s appearance screams premium, and after putting it through its paces on Struggle Dales, Yorkshire’s hardest sportive, it’s clear there is more going on here than just good looks.īalancing nimble handling, stiffness and speed with comfort and reliability, the endurance SL R really does challenge ideas of what an endurance bike can be. If there are still people out there who think of Ribble as a budget bike brand, the endurance SL R disc should convince them otherwise. We were looking for a good balance of comfort, speed, durability and sure footedness on less-than-favourable roads, all of which we found in the following machines. This stood us in a good position to put some of the best endurance road bikes through the wringer and see how they performed. We’re partial to a big day out, and our tester’s local roads in rural Northumberland aren’t exactly known for their smooth, rolling tarmac. If your local roads are littered with bumps and potholes, these may be the bikes for you. These historic landmark events are known for shaking bikes (and riders) to bits with rougher-than-rough road surfaces, and endurance road bikes were designed as a solution. This category of bike was born out of the cobbled streets of Northern France, home to several of the “Classics” races. ![]() Their slightly upright riding position makes them far more comfortable than purebred race bikes, but they can still go fast when they need to.Īnother key benefit is durability. If you’re the type of rider who leans towards longer stints in the saddle, an endurance road bike is going to be a better choice.Įndurance road bikes are geared towards tackling long days and smoothing out rough roads. Super-aggressive, super-aero racing road bikes look the business, but comfortable they are not. It's not the densest way to make money (You can only stack 10 meals, so about 200 silver per stack), but once you have everything set up, it requires no micro at all and is why it's my favorite way to make money. You will probably need a larger cooler to store this many meals, but it pays for itself in a single visit from a trader. ![]() I just set my builders to keep making simple meals until I have 900 so I always have enough for eating and selling. ![]() If you can grow a bunch of corn outside, this is the most efficient way to produce mass simple meals as I described above. Most exotic good traders show up with no more than 3k silver, so you unload around 150 meals (or more if you want any items off the trader, makes buying bionics very cheap) and clean them out, and before you know it, you have 10k silver and no longer need anything. I usually get around 19 silver per simple meal (Social skill 12-14 pawn). With corn, you would have to call in a bulk goods trader and then the exotic goods trader, which takes time and consumes goodwill (which, in this case, means consuming money).If in a year round growing biome, selling simple meals to exotic goods traders is incredibly lucrative since A16. For example, if you want to buy goods from an exotic goods trader, you could sell flake directly to them. Fewer traders accept corn, which is especially relevant when calling traders in with a comms console. Due to the large quantities of corn, it takes more hauling work. This is amazing value it even beats flake in terms of pure work efficiency.Ĭorn has a few disadvantages when compared to drugs. For 370 ticks ( 6.17 secs) of work, you get 24.2 Market Value ( 163.5 / game hour), and it does not need to be processed any further. Thus a corn harvest only needs to be placed in a simple shed.Ĭorn is arguably the most work efficient means of generating wealth. When possible, planting in rich soil will help mitigate the weaknesses associated with its long grow time, while planting in low-fertility soil will exacerbate them.Ĭorn's exceptional shelf life means that the colony does not need to invest in freezer space for corn, as even the slightest winter will keep corn fresh until next year's harvest. It's also recommended to either keep an emergency food stockpile or other alternative food source on hand in case of crop loss. ![]() If your harvest comes in mid-fall, you may want to either forbid sowing to save labour or temporarily switch to rice in order to get a little more food. ![]() And depending on the climate, corn might not reach maturity before winter hits. These long harvest cycles mean that losing a single harvest to blight, fire, cold snaps, or other misfortune is far more consequential than losing a crop of faster-growing plants. This is because corn has the highest harvest yield, meaning fewer sowings and harvests for a given amount of food, but it is balanced by a long grow time. Their primary advantage is their incredible labor efficiency: corn provides 200% the nutrition per work of potatoes, and 367% that of rice. In regular soil, corn plants provide slightly less nutrition per day (per tile) than rice plants (97%) and slightly more than potato plants (102%). ![]() This really reflects very badly on Arturia and reminds me of the days they got caught out on KVR with some very bad shilling. I got lots of Arturia software and hardware. I mean, I didn't even pay for v5, but still they want me to have it. They should have at least given me a choice. I now have to go back and rip out all Arturia stuff. I did a fresh install in a machine and they forced this on me. Just don't think that v5 is better than v4 coz it's not.

Rounded Gear also added two side pockets to its belt loop leggings. It also wicks moisture like a dream, and it dries quickly if they do get wet, either from sweat or a spilled energy drink. The fabric is thick enough not to show your undies when you’re squatting heavy at the gym. They also make a nice lounge-around-the-house pair of leggings because they are super stretchy and made from a durable yet breathable blend of spandex and polyester.

Rounded Gear Beltloop Leggingsįeaturing heavy-duty belt loops that will accommodate a gun belt up to 1 ¾ inches wide, for any Rounded Gear’s Beltloop Leggings are ideal for ladies who need to pack a full-size sidearm in a Kydex OWB holster. Adding your own Kydex trigger guard as an added safety feature isn’t a terrible idea. ![]() Although the guard is relatively soft, but thick enough that snagging the trigger through the holster is highly unlikely. A universal guard comes with purchase and includes a break-away retention strap. The leggings also feature sturdy belt loops and spacious side pockets.ĭene Adams Concealed Carry Leggings are designed to be used with a trigger guard and retention insert. All those pockets also mean there are plenty of spots to tuck extra mags and all your favorite EDC gear. The pockets are extra roomy and can hold everything from a tiny micro pistol to a full-size competition pistol. With five pockets around the waistband, they easily accommodate all the most popular carry positions. Read the rest in my column at Firearms Talk.I love these leggings because they offer five different holstering options. CCW refers to this as the Trigger Gun Shield or TGS and it is designed to both keep the fabric from bunching over the firearm and to dissipate and smooth the outline of the frame, to keep it from being a situation of “is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?” The second feature of the system is that deep inside that pocket is an adjustable fabric holster that securely holds your handgun in a correct position until needed. Its gathered at the waistband by two unseen snaps that, when pulled open, allow fast and easy access to the pocket. The top edge of the pocket is actually a flap that is designed to break away (hence the name of the product). The company has designed a line of clothing that turns your pants into holsters. One company has worked on this problem of eliminating waistband and ankle holsters while making your pockets weapon friendly: CCW Breakaway. It is more than possible that you can accidentally fire the weapon while playing pocket pool for it, it has actually happened. In addition, a handgun unsecured is a handgun lost, as it floats around, flips, spins, and can even become dangerous. The Monkey Trap where you reach into your pants pocket, then fish for a grip on your pistol, and struggle to pull what is now a fist holding a lump of metal, from this pocket. Having your firearm just sitting in a pants or coat pocket is unreliable and even dangerous you are setting yourself up for the Monkey Trap. If not then you have it in an ankle holster or pocket. Odds are you either have it in a waistband holster, inside or outside, or concealed by a shirt, vest, or other item of clothing. Everywhere you go people are safer because you are there. ![]() So you carry your firearm with you in the world for protection.

Nick Barrita explains: “People buy it for gifts, for dinners, for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, and just to keep in the fridge. And people do.Įvery month the team makes about 3,000 gallons of orange sauce and sells an average of 15,000 bottles - more during the holiday season. Diners can add small sides of the proprietary sauce to their delivery orders, but word’s long been out that you can also buy it by the bottle. Named for its color and featuring a top-secret combo of dried red chiles, white onions, tomatoes, garlic, oil, tomatoes, and more, La Vic’s version took years to perfect into the creamy, easily pourable, totally celebrated version it is today. Created by Marcelino shortly after opening his original, now-flagship location, it’s an updated take on a thick, spoonable Oaxacan sauce. Grilled and tucked into a fully loaded burrito or two-hander taco, its rich, savory flavor is notable and deeply satisfying.Īnd of course there’s the famed orange sauce. Its 10-ingredient marinade, crafted from a 50-year-old heirloom recipe, includes garlic, tomatoes, vegetables, onion, bay leaves, oregano, and a little beer. One taste of the carne asada - the restaurant’s most popular meat at 7,000 pounds sold per week - and it’s clear the food here is transportive. Headed toward the three-decade mark, La Victoria Taqueria remains a victory. He took the task seriously, leveraging and sometimes evolving heritage recipes, importing all of his spices from Oaxaca - which he still does today - and making almost everything from scratch. Over the years, Marcelino opened additional San Jose locations: Santa Clara Street near San Pedro Square, Fourth and Julian streets, Fourth and Gish streets, and Almaden Expressway - as well as the Hayward destination.įrom the beginning, Marcelino’s goal was to bring the flavors of his upbringing to his community. The humble counter-service restaurant, which still features pretty much the same concise menu as it did when it opened, became an instant classic. But he established himself in the area for 11 years before opening La Victoria Taqueria in a converted Victorian townhouse on downtown San Jose’s East San Carlos Street.

Personally, I think it's very nice that the use of the food processor works with handles and not with, for example, a button. This mixer looks nice and sleek in the kitchen. When the price became acceptable with Black Friday (and now too), the choice was made very quickly for me. I've wanted a KitchenAid for quite some time, but because of the high price at the time, I had a lot of doubts and in the end didn't buy it. We ask how easy it is to access spare parts, look at the length of the warranty and much more.During the Black Friday Weekend I bought this KitchenAid Imperial Red. Sustainability: We assess the amount of packaging the stand mixer arrives with and the recyclability of the packaging.Washing your stand mixer’s attachments by hand can also be a pain, so we looked for dishwasher-safe accessories to make cleaning less of a headache. Ease of use and cleaning: Modern stand mixers can offer sophisticated features but being easy to use is incredibly important.Whisking, beating and kneading attachments are key to this and we awarded extra points to machines that offer more integrated features, like weighing scales, timers and extra attachments. Processor versatility: Stand mixers should take on key kitchen tasks that make life a lot easier.Whatever the performance and functionality, it must always match up with the price. Value for money: You can spend anything from £60 to £900 on a stand mixer.We looked for pavlova mixes that were glossy and well-whisked, cake mixes that were light with evenly distributed zest and finally, well-risen dough that was soft and light when baked. Results of functions: A machine that efficiently mixed all the ingredients at the same time was a staple requirement.Overall quality of materials: Well-made stand mixers with quality components should last. ![]() Those that had recyclable or biodegradable elements scored better. Packaging: Like most high-value kitchen appliances, stand mixers often arrive with a lot of packaging.We used the average cost per kilowatt hour for fixed rate tariff customers – at the time of writing this is 31.8p per kWh for electricity. For stand mixers, we ran the mixer on high for five minutes. To give you an idea of how energy efficient the stand mixers we’ve tested are, we’ve begun recording the cost of energy used over a set period of time. Which is the most energy-efficient stand mixer? Value for money: there’s no point splashing out on a gadget-y machine with various accessories if you’re only going to use it to occasionally make basic cakes.If you struggle with your back, this is a significant consideration. Weight: if you’re short on counter space and will be hauling the stand mixer in and out of storage, be aware that some of them can be very hefty.Study the number of bolt-on accessories available if you want to use your machine frequently for lots of kitchen tasks. Versatility: stand mixers can work hard with the right attachments, which include everything from pasta rollers to sausage makers.Buy the biggest machine you can afford that will fit in your kitchen. Capacity: like batch baking for cake sales? You’ll need a larger bowl capacity and perhaps a more powerful mechanism that will plough through larger volumes of mixture.What to look for when buying a stand mixer Best mid-range stand mixer: Russell Hobbs Go Create stand mixer, £133īest stand mixers to buy in 2023 Kenwood Titanium Chef Patissier XL.Best digitally controlled stand mixer: Lakeland 6.5L digital stand mixer, £199.99.Best stand mixer for small kitchens: KitchenAid 3.3-litre stand mixer, £299.Best large-capacity stand mixer for affordability: Cuisinart Precision stand mixer, £313.Best stand mixer for last-minute bakes: Breville HeatSoft stand mixer, £249.Best stand mixer for baking: KitchenAid 6.9-litre Artisan stand mixer, £749.Best stand mixer for luxe kitchens: Kenwood kMix, £479.99. ![]()
