![]() ![]() The same is true for the motion sensors – these are PIR based (but can be set-up so they don’t get activated by your pets), and when motion is detected unexpectedly, the alarm system must either be deactivated or the siren will sound and notifications will be sent. Plus Ring will also get notified, if you pay for “professional monitoring” via the Ring Protect Pro plan. ![]() If no-one deactivates the alarm via the keypad (or Ring app), the siren inside the keypad sounds – sending you a notification to your phone. If the window or door is opened when everyone is out, the alarm system will detect this as a possible break-in. The window/door sensors are like magnetic switches: they are a pair and go on either side of a window or door. How does it work?Ī Ring Contact Sensor installed on my front door I’ll go back to that specific point later in the article, but for now, I’ll dive back into how the Ring Alarm system’s professional monitoring works. ![]() The reason I am going into the above is that even if you don’t think that professional monitoring will benefit you, Ring are actually offering loads of extra features for $20/month – so it might be worth buying the Ring Protect Pro subscription instead of managing it yourself with no subscription. Ring Edge, finally allowing local storage.Backup power via hook-ups to Ring Power Pack (purchased separately).In other words, if you have the Ring Alarm Pro and subscribe to Protect Pro, you also get the following features: Plus the newest Ring alarm kit (which includes the Ring Alarm Pro base station) comes with a built-in Eero Pro 6 router and a SIM card for backup LTE internet. Extended warranties on your Ring devices (if they are still under warranty when you subscribe, that is).60 day’s of video recordings (saved to the Ring cloud) from an unlimited number of Ring cameras and doorbells – something which usually costs $3/month per camera/doorbell.Ring offer this feature via their Ring Protect Pro plan, which also includes a bunch of other benefits: In other words, for $20/month you get a whole lot of home monitoring, for far less than ADT typically charge each month. Someone standing right next to a Ring Doorbell It also hooks into any Ring doorbells and cameras you have, so that Ring staff can potentially allow them to check your video feeds for evidence of a break in (but only if you grant them permission to do this, of course). Ring will contact local law enforcement on your behalf if needed – but it instead only costs $20 per month, and it can also include monitoring for smoke/carbon monoxide, panic alarms and floods/freezing alerts too (if you buy separate sensors for these final three, that is). This is essentially what Ring’s “Professional Monitoring” offers – i.e. When the alarm detects something, the alarm company is notified and they then notify local law enforcement to attend your house (if needed). In ‘the old days’ this used to mean paying an alarm company $40+ per month to monitor your alarm system. ![]() Instead, you pay someone to monitor your system for you. The whole point of a home alarm system is that if you’re out or busy and someone tries breaking in, you wouldn’t want to be notified once you’re free again – the burglarly (or break-in attempt) could have finished by then. So is it now worth paying $20/month for Ring’s “professional monitoring” service? And what features do you get for $20/month, exactly?Ī security guard looking at camera feeds on computer monitors Only new customers are affected immediately – existing Alarm Customers will be grandfathered onto the new rates.īut even if you were an existing customer, you’ll be paying $20/month soon enough. Notice how I say “ was“?! Unfortunately in 2021, Ring doubled the price of this service to $20 per month, as part of their move to the Ring Alarm Pro system. This is a pretty useful service, and for just $10/month, it was a lot cheaper than ADT’s $37-$53/month fees and SimpliSafe’s fees of $18-28/month. The initial callback is reliable, however some people have then found that follow-up calls aren’t quite as good. Ring alarm’s professional monitoring is a genuine 24/7 monitoring system which has an average 30 second callback time after Ring are notified of an event. But what is “professional monitoring”, you ask? Well, the gist is… It was easy to install, and for just $10/month, you could get 24/7 professional monitoring to safeguard your home. Ring released their smart alarm system back in July 2018, and it was fairly revolutionary. However you can’t blame me for thinking this when Ring used to only charge $10/month for Professional Monitoring, right? Actually, let’s back up a bit. Even though I’m only 31, I always feel old when I start a sentence with “Back in my day, things were so much better”. ![]() ![]() By picking the stats you want them to raise you’ll instantly power up your ally, and will get them closer to that all important next step in evolution.

But the dominant subject – legal writing – tended to account for one-quarter to one-third of all the manuscripts. The exact subject matter in each of the categories would vary somewhat from one library to the next. They give us a good idea of what was traditionally found in manuscript libraries. There’s also a national collection of manuscripts in Mauritania that is based on the contents of 80-odd private libraries. With the decline of scholarship in Timbuktu in the 1600s, Islamic learning emerged in nomadic centres to the west (in today’s Mauritania). Today’s older manuscripts in West Africa mainly date from this period. That period waned, but Arabic learning revived again in the 1800s across West Africa in the wake of several Islamic reform movements that stretched from today’s Guinea and the Senegal River Valley to Northern Nigeria. In the 1500s, what is called Timbuktu’s ‘ Golden Age’, its famous scholars were known across North Africa. In fact, Timbuktu was only one of several southern Saharan towns that attracted scholars and offered Islamic learning. The first reference to manuscripts in Timbuktu was in the 1400s, contributing to the mystique that has always enveloped the city as a centre of Islamic education. This commerce also brought Islamic teachings across the Sahara Desert. Centres of learningĮarliest contact between North Africa and Timbuktu focused on West Africa’s gold trade. The full story of West Africa’s manuscript culture and Islamic learning centres will finally be known when the attention that is lavished on Timbuktu’s manuscripts is also given to libraries in neighbouring Mauritania, Niger and Nigeria. Most of these manuscripts come from the 1800s, but have very deep historical roots. In it, we find one-third of all extant manuscripts with known authors (314 titles), written by 204 scholars, one-quarter of them from West Africa. It is a comprehensive inventory of over 100 public and private West African manuscript libraries. The West African Arabic Manuscript Database provides an even bigger picture. Timbuktu destruction: landmark ruling awards millions to Malians The association has been working with universities on three continents to secure and record, now digitally, their Arabic and Arabic-script manuscripts. It’s at this website that one can access the archive of an association of 35 private Timbuktu manuscript libraries – called SAVAMA-DCI. This is a resource I began 30 years ago at the University of Illinois that now provides students access to most of the titles and authors that make up West Africa’s manuscript culture. While Mali Magic displays 45 very photogenic manuscripts from one private library, the site doesn’t begin to tell the full story of the wealth of West Africa’s manuscripts that are found from the Atlantic to Lake Chad.īut thanks to decades of scholarship and, recently, digitisation, that information is now accessible at a bilingual, open-access, online union catalogue of nearly 80,000 manuscripts at the West African Arabic Manuscript Database. The manuscripts, themselves, some reputed to date as early as the 1400s, were threatened and the international community responded. There have been documentaries and books, academic studies and a renewed public interest since some of Timbuktu’s world heritage status buildings were damaged in attacks in 2012. No place in West Africa has attracted more attention and resources than the city that has always captivated the imagination of the outside world, Timbuktu. ![]() The images of the documents, text in Arabic, can be found at a page called Mali Magic. The ancient Timbuktu manuscripts of Mali were back in the headlines following internet giant Google’s initiative to host a collection of them at an online gallery. ![]() ![]() While they may grow up participating and interested in sports, many girls drop out between the ages of 8-12. Whether they lack confidence or access to performance solutions or safe places to play, according to a recent report from the Women’s Sports Foundation, girls have roughly 1 million fewer opportunities to participate in sport than the 4.5 million opportunities boys have today. “It’s easier to work together than it is to work by yourself.Through sports, boys and girls can learn important life skills that apply both on and off the field – however, a significant gender equity gap still exists in youth sports. “It’s a partner or perish society,” Sayed said. He added that working with local governments and religious and community organizations is important for HYPE’s success. “We have to be able to adapt because climates, environments and communities change.” “We have to consistently be agile, Sayed said. He also said HYPE continues to strive to achieve its original goal of helping people and that the only change has been the methodology behind the help. “HYPE is a community that focuses on strengthening the infrastructure of our youth and the families through the positive development of the programs we have.” “We’ve really diversified who we are and what we do,” he said. ![]() Sayed said HYPE works to cater to all needs in the community.

Most competitors are able to detect at least 80% of malware samples, and antiviruses like Avira, Bitdefender, and Norton picked up 100% of the malware during my testing. I then installed GridinSoft and performed a full scan - and I can’t say I was happy with the results. To test GridinSoft’s malware protection capabilities, I downloaded a collection of nearly 1,000 malware files to my PC, including trojans, ransomware, spyware, adware, cryptojackers, worms, keyloggers, and rootkits. GridinSoft’s antivirus scanner detects malware using a malware database as well as advanced heuristics to detect both known and new malware files. GridinSoft’s Anti-Malware program offers 4 security tools: If you want a good, low-cost antivirus for all of your devices, I recommend you take a look at Norton, Bitdefender, Avira, or TotalAV, all of which offer premium cybersecurity protection for a similar price to GridinSoft. I really wanted to like GridinSoft, but after extensive testing I was really disappointed with its low malware detection rates, lack of additional features, unintuitive dashboard, and poor customer support. GridinSoft is a low-quality antivirus that can’t compete with the best antiviruses in 2023. ![]() GridinSoft doesn’t have a risk-free money-back guarantee, but you may get a refund within 30 days of purchase if you can prove that the software was unable to remove malware from your PC. You can also download and use Trojan Scanner for Android completely free of charge. I’d recommend most users select a better anti-malware program from our list of the top antivirus programs for 2023 , but if you’re interested in GridinSoft, you can test out Anti-Malware and Trojan Killer with a 6-day and 14-day free trial, respectively. And GridinSoft’s customer support is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. GridinSoft’s user interface is also very cluttered, so users may find it difficult to access all features and settings. In addition to poor performance, GridinSoft lacks most of the features I want to see in a premium antivirus in 2023, including a firewall, device optimization tools, a VPN, or even a version for macOS and iOS. Both the Trojan Killer and Trojan Scanner are just basic malware scanners, which also underperformed in my testing. GridinSoft offers 3 products, including the Windows-only Anti-Malware program, the portable Trojan Killer version, and the Android-only Trojan Scanner. The main Anti-Malware program only has malware scanning and anti-phishing protection - and both features performed poorly in my tests, detecting 60-70% of my malware samples and missing most phishing sites. ![]() ![]() Honestly, if you’re looking for a good, reasonably-priced antivirus, you should take a look at premium programs like Norton or Bitdefender, which both offer perfect malware detection and removal rates, a wide range of useful extras, intuitive dashboards across all operating systems, and excellent customer support. Gridi nSoft is a bare-bones antivirus with low malware detection rates, zero extra features, a cluttered user interface, and poor customer support. ![]() ![]() A sketch of your gardening area is very helpful for several reasons: to record the location of where things are planted, to plan for future plantings, and to determine the size/amount of what can be planted in your allotted space.
