In the market exists several software tools to recover data on Mac’s based-computers. One of them is iSkysoft Data Recovery for a Mac; a solid product designed to operate in the most common disaster scenarios. This software comes with four modules: “Lost Data Recovery”, “Raw Data Recovery”, “Resume Recovery” and “Partition Recovery”.

Installation: It’s a simple procedure, performed entirely by a wizard. We should note that it offers the USB installation option, allowing to perform the recovery without causing further damage on the destination hard drive.

Data Recovery Modes

Lost Data Recovery: This mode recovers those removed files, deleted using Command + Delete or Trash emptied. Once this mode is started, it will show the available local disk drives; the user should select an unit and pressing the “Scan” button the process starts. The scanning time depends upon the disk size and number of files stored on it. When the process is completed, the recoverable files will be shown as a list, and the user may preview and retrieve them to a previously selected destination.

RAW Data Recovery: This module is recommended when the unit is corrupted, or it has been formatted by mistake. It performs a deep scan recovering files by file-signature. The routine’s layout is similar to the first method; the user must select a destination and pressing the “Scan” button the process starts. When the process is done, the recoverable files will be shown; in instance, the user can preview the files and select one of them. This option requires more processing time than the “Lost Data Recovery”; to prevent it, the method includes filtering capabilities, which reduce the scanning time.

Partition Recovery: It can be used when a partition is inaccessible due to errors or serious damage caused by accidentally removed, partition format, resize or simply issues related to media corruption. The process begins when the user presses the “Partition Search” button; the searching routine examines the problematic partition; once the process is done, the recoverable files are displayed; you can select and set a target drive, to recover them.

Resume Recovery: It has been developed to suspend temporarily a long process; in such situations it is possible to press the “Stop” button, to resume the process.

Conclusion: Once the product’s full testing was completed, we have seen that iSkySoft Data Recovery has been effective restoring diverse file types. Regarding to its usability, we note that the application can be operated by a wide user’s range even for beginners without technical knowledge, thanks to wizards-based interface.

Introduction

Video interfaces connect the monitor to the Image decoding device. Concerns over image quality and video protection has led to significant changes in display interface technology gradually. Although the VGA interface is still used in PCs, the future is moving to digital interfaces. Various methods including analog connector, hybrid digital plus analog interfaces and several digital interfaces have been developed up to now. However, there is some overlap in the features of display interfaces. We study several practical analog and digital video interfaces.

Analog display interfaces

S-video

S-video, standing for Separate Video, transmits video signals over a cable by dividing into two separate signals: one for color and another for brightness. Due to this separation, sharper and higher quality images than composite video can be achieved. S-video does not carry audio, so it commonly run with red and white RCA audio cables.

Component video

This video interface is superior over both composite and S-video. Because its three cables better preserve the various elements of the video signal including brightness and color, resulting in enhanced picture quality. Component video uses three RCA connections, Red, Blue and Green to send video signals. It carries visual data only, meaning that audio cables are still required. Hence, it is usually paired with stereo (red and white) RCA audio connections.

VGA

VGA or Video Graphics Array is the most popular video connection between computers and monitors. It is used on computer video cards, projectors and set top boxes. A standard VGA connection has 15 pins and supports display resolution of 640*480 pixels, while enhanced version SVGA is allowed for resolution of 1024*768. It is worth mentioning that the maximum resolution is limited by the connector bandwidth and cable quality and length.

In the VGA connector, due to tiny little pins into a small connector, building small coaxial cables is hard.

Digital display interfaces

DVI

Digital Video Interface (DVI) has been designed as a replacement for VGA (analog interface). However, in some cases DVI still supports analog displays. In fact, DVI is the only standard which can carry both analog and digital signals on one interface. If the display is analog, the DVI connection will convert the digital signal to an analog signal, otherwise no conversion will be necessary. It is worth mentioning that, the analog video bandwidth of DVI is higher than VGA, thus higher resolution can be supported compared to VGA. So, it can be applied by high resolution displays such as UXGA and HDTV.

DVI cables or ports with fewer pins are designed for lower resolution devices. In order to support maximum resolution, the DVI port should contain all the pins. Since DVI does not support High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) encryption by default, by using hardware which only includes DVI ports, the video protection is not guaranteed. This is the biggest drawback of DVI. Since HDCP protects video from illegal copying, this feature is very critical for video surveillance systems.

DVI has several variants: DVI-D (digital only), DVI-A (analog only) and integrated DVI-I which carries both digital and analog video. DVI connections are popular on computer video cards, monitors and projectors.

HDMI

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) transmits uncompressed digital HD video and audio data in a single cable, while other connections require separate cables for audio and video. For instance, a component cable connection uses three cables for video and two for audio, resulting in five cables totally. While using HDMI, the uncompressed audio and video information can be transmitted using one cable, thus cable clutter is eliminated greatly.

Since HDMI is a digital connection, it is more robust to interference and noise problem compared to analog connections. Since most processes are the digital such as DVD players, Blue-ray players and game consoles, so by using HDMI for these consumers the analog to digital conversion will be eliminated. So, it leads to better quality picture and sound compared to other connections. Also HDMI supports HDCP, meaning that it is practical for video surveillance systems. HDMI connection is the most popular display interface, found on every TV, AV receiver, Blue-ray disk player, DVR, laptops and digital cameras, because by using HDMI, there is no need to buy separate audio and video cables. Therefore, fewer cables and connections are used.

DisplayPort

DisplayPort as a standard port to connect PCs, laptops, and other computers to video monitors has been called ultimate digital connection. It is a high definition AV connection which transmits audio and video data over a single cable with a locking connector. DisplayPort is a simple but high bandwidth interface which provides true digital images and clear sounds. It can even supply power.

One of the advantages of DisplayPort is that it works with older technology, as by using simple adapters, it is compatible with VGA, DVI even HDMI. DisplayPort enables high display performance, robustness, versatility, highest degree of system integration, and great interoperability among various device types. DisplayPort was originally developed as the next generation personal computer display interface and is now available on a wide range of tablets, notebooks, desktop computers and monitors. It is included on all newer Macs and many Dell, HP, and Lenovo computers and is also available on video graphics cards. DisplayPort can be used for consumer electronics but is not common.

DisplayPort is hot-pluggable, meaning that connections can be reconfigured without the need to restart the device. Also DisplayPort supports DPCP (DisplayPort Content Protection) and HDCP (High bandwidth Digital Content Protection). These two prevent illegal copying, so they are very critical in video security.

Comparing HDMI and DisplayPort

HDMI and DisplayPort are modern serial interfaces to transmit digital video over cables from one device to another. They are replacement for analog interfaces like VGA and S-video. DisplayPort is a newer connector can be found on Apple’s iMac desktops. It is compatible with HDMI signals, thus product interoperability is achieved.

The HDMI and DisplayPort both carry audio and video data on a same cable. They also support High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) to encrypt copyrighted video and audio data for the newest HD content. Therefore, data is protected from being played or copied during transmission over the interface.

Transmitting video and audio in high definition format (HD) must be conducted through interfaces with high data transfer rate. HDMI and DisplayPort are both high-speed digital interfaces, but they differ in several aspects. HDMI is mainly used for consumer electronics equipment, while DisplayPort is primarily developed for computer and peripheral video connections. In the following some of the main differences between these two, are studied.

Type of connector:

There are three main types of HDMI ports, each with 19 pins. The standard size (Type A) commonly found on TVs, projectors, set-top boxes and laptops. Smaller HDMI (Type B) is called mini- and mainly found on some laptops and tablets. The smallest is micro-HDMI (Type C) found on tablets and smartphones.

DisplayPort is available in two different types with 20 pins. One of them is the full-size version and the other is smaller called Mini DisplayPort which is used in Apple laptops.

Supporting the quantity of monitors (video and audio stream):

In video surveillance, using more than one display is preferable. Also, many gamers use two or more monitors simultaneously. HDMI can handle single video stream and a single audio stream, so it can support only one display at a time.

On the other hand, DiaplayPort can connect to multiple monitors up to four with a 1920-by-1200 pixel resolution. By using multiple DisplayPort interfaces, connecting as many as six display to one output is feasible.

Cable length:

The maximum cable length supported by each interface is an important subject. Since high data rate signals will be degraded over lengths, so cables should be kept short. A maximum HDMI cable length has not been specified, and a wide range of lengths is available, but manufacturers limit them to 15 meters (about 49 feet). For instance, by HDMI cables as long as 50 feet, the quality of video data has been degraded. In order to cover a long distance, a signal booster or an active cable to amplify the signal might be needed.

For DisplayPort, 3840- by- 2160 pixels (4K) video over a length up to 2 meters by using a passive cable can be achieved. Also, running a passive cable up to 15 meters is possible, but resolution will be limited to 1080p (full-HD), as defined by the standard.

Ethernet channel:

DisplayPort does not support Ethernet data and the standard does not have an audio return channel, while by using the latest version of HDMI, 100 Mbps HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) can be implemented. HEC is used primarily for audio control.

The Ethernet channel can be used to provide an Internet connection between devices, especially when HDMI devices are used for streaming video or other content from the Internet.

Advantages of HDMI in video surveillance

HDMI cables have several advantages that make it superior over some interfaces like DVI and component video, especially in video surveillance systems.

HDMI includes all components of both video and audio data in one cable, so there is no need for extra cables. Because, everything is contained in one compact cable package. HDMI transmission line could be used instead of at most 13 similar transmission lines, thus the problem of cable clutter will be solved effectively.

On the other hand, like many other modern data transmission cables, an HDMI cable is composed of a series of twisted pairs. It has been proved that this cable manufacturing technology, is superior over other cables even huge coaxial cables for reducing noise and interferences. Also HDMI guarantees HDCP, thus video information is protected from copying during transmission, confirming its benefit in video surveillance.

Why we should consider DisplayPort in addition to HDMI in video surveillance?

In video streaming, choosing the types of video connection to stream the content to the display is an important issue. Over the years, delivering this content through HDMI, DVI, and VGA cables has been the most popular method.

In recent years, a new technology called DisplayPort has been developed. It has slowly been adopted by motherboard and displays. By the newest version DisplayPort 1.2, achieving to 4K60p resolution (3840×2160@60Hz) is possible, while HDMI only provides this resolution at half the frame rate or less.

The most important advantage of DisplayPort 1.2 over the other standards is a Multi-Stream Transport (MST) technology, in which DisplayPort can transfer multiple video streams from one video output by using 21.6 Gbps bandwidth. Therefore, achieving up to 4 displays with 1080p resolution from a single DisplayPort output is possible, confirming the benefit of DisplayPort for video surveillance.

Conclusion

The main digital connectors used on computers and display devices are DVI and HDMI. DisplayPort is a newer connector mainly designed to replace VGA and DVI ports. The first choice to connect a device to display is HDMI which is commonly used in the most NVRs. The cables are cheap and it also carries audio. On the other hand, HDMI has some limitations and is not a perfect choice for all purposes. In most cases HDMI is fine, but for really high resolutions and frame rates, other options might be taken into consideration.

Since DisplayPort can support multiple displays and also due to its ability to connect to nearly any other type of monitor with an inexpensive adapter, getting a video recorder device which offers DisplayPort in addition to HDMI, is an admirable choice in video surveillance industry.

Crossover is a software that lets you run Windows-based applications on a Linux computer or MAC.

CodeWeavers, the company that developed CrossOver, has been working on an Android version of the tool that would enable you to run Windows programs on Android devices.

Last month, Google made its Play store available to the at least three Chromebooks, allowing their users to run apps developed for Android phones on their machines.

This means the users of compatible Chromebooks will also be able to run Windows programs by installing CrossOver for Android app. However, for now, this software won't run every single Windows app or even all those Windows apps that you can run on Linux or MAC platforms using Crossover.

While CodeWeavers's Android app is yet to be released, the Minnesota-based company this week posted a video on their official blog showing the Windows game Limbo and Steam game client running on an Acer Chromebook.

The company said the CrossOver for Android supports DirectX 9 graphics and detects the inputs from keyboard and mouse.

It is worth mentioning that the software works only with the devices featuring x86 processors. Since a large number of Android smartphones and tablets boast the chips are manufactured by ARM, most of its users will be not able to run Crossover.

But, most of the Chromebooks have Intel processors, and they would be the main beneficiaries of Crossover once Google widens its Android app support to these machines and once this software is officially launched.

Currently, the Android app support is available in Acer Chromebook R11, Google Chromebook Pixel and Asus Chromebook Flip but Google has said that it will roll out to the feature to other Chromebooks in the market as well by the end of this year.

Since Chromebooks tend to be cheaper as compared to Windows, Apple's MAC and OS X laptops, their sales have increased over the last few years.

However, due to its lack of support for Microsoft Office, Photoshop and many other programs, critics call Chrome OS "just a browser" which "not works without an Internet connection".

But the arrival of Google Play Store will make Chrome OS a powerful and versatile operating system.

And, support for even some Windows apps would be a handy addition and will is expected to boost further the sales of Chromebooks.

If you want to be notified about when Crossover for Android will be officially released, you can send an email to CodeWeavers at android@codeweavers.com , the company said.

Apple products are truly iconic, commanding a loyal customer base unheard of in electronic devices. There’s something about the whole product that keeps the bond going strong – the look, the features etc. The applications featured on an iPad have been atypical from the regular android app. It is only in the recent past due to soaring popularity that apps with similar functions have begun to feature, in both platforms. Learn how outsourced application development services benefit business strategy.

Innovation is a key to success in technology

Harnessing technology innovatively is the key to success. An application that is creative, useful and stands-out from the crowd needs to be adapted and developed into a working one. Transforming an idea into a working function requires technical skill and expertise. Outsourcing to agencies helps to take the idea from a board to an iPad in a manner that’s justifiable.

Swift development gives it a first off the block advantage

An idea for an application could be a solution to a problem or an issue. Or it could be a creative way of getting something done easier. Since it features the use of a set technology, it is highly likely that similar application may also be in the process of development. Therefore it is important that the idea is turned around as fast as possible, to make it the first off the block.

Creative visuals in UI helps attract users

Getting users to download and use an application calls for the creation of world class visualization. A dull and drab presentation will sometimes put off an interested customer. Not only should an application have great functionality, but it should also present the functions better. Outsourcing to competent agencies helps to create a stunning visualization in the UI.

Testing and Development

The application needs to be tested prior to release. Agencies possess the expertise and the experience to test the functioning of the application and look for potential bugs. They conduct sufficient tests to determine if the application would crash under any given circumstances. It is essential that testing is extensive and thorough to prevent crashes.

Overall, outsourcing of development of application for the iPad has numerous benefits. This has to be viewed in the context of the quality requirements of Apple. The quality of applications intended to feature on the iTunes store need to be of a certain basic minimum quality. To ensure that the quality criteria is met, it is essential that experts are relied upon.

There are a number of project managers today that use Microsoft Project to create and track project plans to keep tasks on schedule. Project is a fine application for small endeavors with one person in charge. However as a project grows and more decision makers are involved, managers need an application that can provide enterprise-wide project management.

On-line Management with Project Server

When coordinating a large venture, basic management tools like Microsoft Project may not serve the manager’s needs. It is a standalone application that can be used only on one computer. All project information is in one place and all decisions can be made only at that computer.

Once there is a large endeavor with a management team, this lack of access becomes a problem. What is needed is a project management tool that can be shared company-wide and allow all managers to track their respective tasks without needing to wait for printed reports.

Project Server was designed with exactly that capability in mind. All team members can access the application from anywhere on the company network or over the web. Coordination and communication is easier when everyone is on the same page.

Each Team Member Has a Role

Just because everyone can access the software, that doesn’t mean everyone has the same capabilities. Individuals are given permissions appropriate to their role in the plan and in the company.

Project managers use the basic Project Professional application just like they have in the past. However their updates and changes are transmitted to the server where they can be viewed by other managers and incorporated in their plans.

Team members who don’t use Project directly can still access the server to see what their tasks are, what the status of the overall plan is, and can send status reports to be used by managers.

Even interested parties not directly involved in completion of the tasks, such as executives or investors, can be given access over the company network or the web so they can monitor the progress. Comprehensive security settings ensure that each person is given needed access without any excess privileges.

Project Server Training

Even experienced users of Microsoft Project will benefit from training on the unique capabilities of Project Server. The enterprise-level features of the software greatly increase the size of the projects that can be handled but may not be obvious to new users. Tasks such as team building, resource substitution, and information pooling can be used more effectively after taking instructor-led courses.

The transition from Project to Project Server is a major step for any business but with guidance and proper planning, it is a move that can be made with a minimum of complication. The added capabilities will be invaluable to any mid-size to large business.

While it is tempting to share your food with your fury family member, you should be aware that many of the human foods are poisonous for dogs. You should avoid ordering foods for your dog from the below menu.

APPETIZERS

Baby Food – Many people try to give baby foods especially to pups when they are not feeling well. Baby foods are not bad in general. However, you should make sure the baby food you are giving does not contain any onion powder. Also, baby foods do not contain all the necessary nutrients for a healthy dog.

Chewing Gum – Most chewing gum contains a sugar called Xylitol which has no effects on humans. However, it can cause a surge of insulin in dogs that drops a dog’s blood sugar to dangerous level. If your dog eats large amount of gums, it can damage liver, kidney or worse.

Candy – Many of the candies also contain Xylitol, the same type of sugar as Chewing gum. So, keep candies and chewing gums away from the reach of your dogs and puppies.

Chocolate – Chocolates are considered poisonous for dogs. Chocolates contain caffeine and theobromine which can be toxic for your dog. Chocolates can cause panting, vomiting, and diarrhea, and damage your dog’s heart and nervous systems.

Corn on the cob – Dogs can eat Corn, but not the cob. Most dogs cannot digest cob easily, which can cause intestinal obstruction, a very serious and possibly fatal medical condition if not treated immediately.

Macadamia Nuts – Macadamia nuts also known as Australia Nuts can cause weakness, depression, vomiting, tremors and hyperthermia in dogs.

Mushrooms – Mushrooms are tricky. While some types of Mushrooms are fine, others can be toxic for dogs. Some types of mushrooms can cause serious stomach issues for dogs. As a cautious dog owner, you should try to avoid giving mushrooms to your dog.

Tobacco – Never give tobacco to your dog. The effects of nicotine on dogs are much more worse than humans. The toxic level of nicotine in dogs is 5 milligrams of nicotine per pound of body weight. In dogs, 10 mg/kg is potentially lethal.

Cooking dough – Raw bread dough made with live yeast can be hazardous if ingested by dogs. When raw dough is swallowed, the warm, moist environment of the stomach provides an ideal environment for the yeast to multiply, resulting in an expanding mass of dough in the stomach. Expansion of the stomach may be severe enough to decrease blood flow to the stomach wall, resulting in the death of tissue.

Rotten food -Spoiled food have mold and other bacteria which can cause serious damage to your dog’s health.

MAIN ENTRIES

Cooked Bones – While raw bones are beneficial for your dog’s teeth, cooked bones can be dangerous for your pup. Cooked bones are more brittle, which means it is highly likely they might splinter and cause internal injury to your dog.

Cat Food – A little cat food eaten by your dog may not be an issue. However, you feed cat food regularly to your dog, it can cause some health issues. Cat foods usually have higher level of protein and fat which are not healthy for dogs.

Fat Trimmings – Meat fat trimmings, cooked or raw can cause pancreatitis in dogs.

Liver – Feeding liver occasionally might be OK, but do not feed too much liver to your dog. Excessive consumption of liver can adversely affect your dog’s muscles and bones.

Yeast – As mentioned earlier, too much of yeast could rupture your dog’s stomach and intestines.

Dairy Products – Some dogs would be fine with dairy products. However, dogs generally have relatively poor levels of tolerance to lactose which is found in milk. As a result, it can cause diarrhea and other digestive issues.

DRINKS

Alcohol – You should not even let your dog taste any kind of alcohol, let alone consume it in large quantity. The main ingredients used in beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages are toxics and dangerous for dogs. Alcohol can cause poor breathing, abnormal acidity, intoxication, lack of coordination and even coma and/or death for a dog.

Coffee – Too much Coffee can be poisonous for your dog. Common signs of a coffee overdose include vomiting, tremors, restlessness and rapid heart rate. In severe cases, seizures can appear. It’s possible for dogs to collapse if high amounts of caffeine have been consumed.

Milk – Many dogs especially puppy drink milk. Most dogs may not experience any issues with milk, but some dogs may be intolerant to lactose found in milk. Dogs allergic to lactose may experience upset tummy and other allergic reactions after drinking milk.

Citrus Oil Extracts – Oil extracts from citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons and limes can cause irritation in your dogs digestive system especially if consumed in large quantities. Dogs may experience diarrhea, vomiting, drooling, and trembling.

FRUITS AND SALADS

Apple Seeds – Apple seeds contain amygdlin, a form of cyanide. It can hinder blood from carrying oxygen throughout the body. Keep your pup away from apple seeds.

Avocado – Avocado fruit, its pit and plant are toxic for dogs. Avocado damages heart, lung and other tissue in dogs in addition to stomach upset, vomiting and pancreatitis.

Grapes & Raisins – Dogs usually get allergic reactions after eating grapes and raising. Dogs may experience vomiting, fatigue, diarrhea, and possibly kidney failure.

Onions – Onions are dangerous for dogs. Try to avoid feeding onions (raw or cooked) to your dog. If the dog eats a small amount of onions every day for many days, it may gradually develop anemia over weeks to months.

Chives – Chives can cause hemolysis, anemia, or hemoglobinuria in your dog. Some of the symptoms of too much chives consumption include weakness, lethargy, pale mucous membranes and discolored (red to brown) urine.

Peaches – Dogs may not experience any issues if they just consume peach flesh. However, pits of peaches are toxic to dogs. They may cause your dog to experience dilated pupils, dizziness and excessive drooling.

Plums – Stems, leaves, and seeds of plums are toxic for dogs. Dogs may experience brick red mucous membranes, dilated pupils, difficulty breathing, panting, and shock.

Tomato Leaves – The leaves of a tomato plant contain the glycoalkaloids alpha-tomatine and dehydrotomatine which are toxic for dogs. Some of the symptoms of eating tomato leaves include; drooling, stomach upset, diarrhea, vomiting and changes in his behavior. Tremors or seizures could also occur if your pup has consumed too much tomato leaves.

FISH

Raw Fish / Fish in general – Some amount of fish in your dog’s diet may not cause any issues. However, If fish are fed exclusively or in high amounts to your dog can result in a thiamine (a B vitamin) deficiency leading to loss of appetite, seizures, and in severe cases, death.

SIDE DISH

Human vitamins – Some human vitamins can be toxic for pets, in particular those that are fat soluble like vitamins A, D and E. Also, iron tablets can damage the digestive system lining, and prove poisonous for the liver and kidneys of your dog. So, keep your vitamins away from your dog especially puppies.

Human Snacks – Some of the human snacks might use ingredients such as onion and garlic powder, raisins, chocolate which could be toxic for dogs. Try to give your furry friend snacks and treats made just for them instead of sharing yours.

If your dog has an emergency after eating or drinking something, please call your veterinarian immediately.

Curly hair is found in almost a lot of population today. It is really difficult to take care of curly hair as compared to the normal hair. The basic thing we can do is take care of the scalp as the nourishment comes from the scalp and dryness in scalp leads to dull and damaged hair.

Here we lay down some tips and tricks for you to have flawless and tangle-free curls.

Know your curls

Different patterns and different types of curls require different nourishment and maintenance routines. The type of curl helps you decide the shampoo the conditioner and the serum you need to use to have frizz-free and shiny hair.

Less is more

It is important for curly hair that which product we use and by how much. The right amount of product is less than you think. Always look before you apply the shampoo and conditioner to hair as the quantity matters.

Have a hair care routine

Having a routine i.e. fixing the days you wash the hair and the time intervals between oiling them help to have nourished and healthy hair as it ensures that the scalp is clean between short intervals of time.

Sleep

We must have an adequate 8hrs. Of sleep, at night it helps our body to repair itself and treat the damages that are happening on a day to day basis. Also or having healthy hair we should sleep on silk pillows as they are softer on hair as compared to normal pillow cases when we toss and turn during our sleep and also be must braid our hair while sleeping as it helps to prevent them from getting tangled.

Hair Masks

Apart from shampoos, conditioners, and oils a lot of other products can help and nourish the hair one of them are hair masks. Once or twice a week we must use a hair mask depending on the hair type and the consistency. Thick and curly hair needs a little extra care all we have to do is whip a conditioning mask with egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, and one tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of honey. Combining apple cider vinegar, Greek yogurt, and honey help to reduce the breakage of hair. Lemon juice and olive oil hair mask help to cure the itchy scalp. For dry hair, we can combine avocado and coconut oil. Baking soda and coconut oil help to reduce dandruff.

Say no to heat

Using hair dryers and straighter can damage the hair structure and lead to hair-fall.

Other precautions

We must say no to the brushes as they may damage the delicate curls and lead to hair loss. We can opt for finger combing or wide tooth comb instead. For fine curls showering with a hair net will allow you to get your hair clean and still maintain the curl structure.

Thus by using the shampoos and homemade masks, we can take care of the fragile curly hair.

As the people of the world are looking forward to, Apple on the occasion of the tenth anniversary launched the strongest flagship iPhone series – iPhone X. After a moment, that avant-garde high-performance iPhone 8, as if to become a child abandoned in the past. In the iPhone X open pre-sale day, millions of people around the world are staring at the collapse of Apple’s official website in a daze in that few hours. Wait until we finally entered the page, excitedly cried and screamed then found out that the delivery time has become 5-6 weeks. In other words, even if the order is scheduled now, delivery time is already in December.

However, the price of this smartphone is as high as $999. Why so many people fighting for such an expensive cell phone? Explore the iPhone X four revolutionary updated performance.

1. The missing Home key

On the iPhone X, Apple canceled the Home button the first time in the last decade. This also means that, in appearance, iPhone X has a shocking future-sense bezel-less full screen, and Touch ID was canceled. Equipped with OLED screen, it supports Dolby horizon and HDR 10, high 2436 x 1125 resolution, extremely high 1 million: 1 contrast, absolutely the best visual experience.

It is available for $ 15 and is easy to get assembled to resemble a headset of virtual reality. It is a simple viewer technically, mainly because it is easy to use and is a standalone device. It requires iOS or an android phone to gather its display and processing power. It is also simple to be used, once the cardboard kit is being delivered, users would have to simply fold it, slot it in the phone so as to explore a variety of cardboard games. This virtual reality or a VR box is available both at Apple's App store and Google play store and it is now possible to try the basic VR demos free through the Google cardboard app for both iOS and Android.

VR box overview: The VR box is a solid plastic version of the Google cardboard headset featured with completely adjustable eye lenses.

Lenses: the lenses look just as children's binoculars and it is possible to adjust their position in the dimensions, depth and width depending on the video or the application. Every application on the Google cardboard features a different field of view and users might have to adjust the headset for different applications.

Comfort: These headsets are to get rammed against one's face hard and thus are required to be comfortable. The VR box feels so comfortable compared to the original cardboard headset and if needed additional padding could be used in the surrounding area for those with a ridge nose.

Phone holder: The phone holder has padding on both its sides where the phone gets held in place. The holder has holes on both its sides to allow the user to add charger and headphones, so that when the device is in use, there would not be many disturbances to with power and user could get immersed in the VR box much longer. The slider fixes into the headset with a click and it does not slide out on its own. The VR holder has a line marker to help users center the phone and thus offers a high quality to the set with nil clumsiness.

More than playing games, the headset works wonders in watching movies. Users have found it stunning to watch 3D movies with the set, which is much, much better than the cardboard set. The head strap is absolutely comfortable and the padding around the eyes helps to use the set for long hours in watching movies.
