![]() ![]() The history of Shaoxing is hidden quietly on the green slate road of old streets, on the stone bridges across the river, and in the old but vitality “Taimen”. Explore the History by Visiting Shaoxing Top 8 Historic Blocks: The rich cultural heritage of Shaoxing is just like yellow wine, which requires tourists to taste slowly.The former residences of historic celebrities are like doors, which will give you an in-depth understanding of Shaoxing's customs, architecture, history and personalities of celebrities. Among them, the most worthy of a visit is the Green Vine Study of Xu Wei and Lu Xun's Hometown. They are scattered in the old streets and lanes of the city, such as the former residence of Xu Wei, Wang Xizhi, Lu Xun, Zhou Enlai, Qiu Jin, etc. Visit Former Residences of Historical Figures: There are so many former residences of famous people in Shaoxing and you don't need to look hard for them.Compared with other water towns in Jiangnan, Shaoxing has more scholarliness and the fragrance of yellow wine. This land gives birth to many eminent literary giants such as Qiu JIn, Cai Yuanpei, Zhou Enlai, etc., while black-awning boats, black felt hats, and dried pickled mustard are amorous feelings of Shaoxing. Her blood is the ancient canal in east Zhejiang, Kuaiji Mountain is her spine. This cultural ancient city, built in the Xia Dynasty, has a deep history of more than 2500 years. The complex homeland love knot can be seen everywhere, from the Baicao Garden to the Sanwei Study Room, from Kong Yiji's fennel beans to the Shaoxing opera. When it comes to Shaoxing City (绍兴), the first thing that comes to mind is the Chinese literary giant Lu Xun, of course. Shaoxing is located in the north-central of Zhejiang province between Hangzhou and Ningbo.

![]() The trackpad performs decently, with a one-finger tap left-clicking and a two-finger tap right-clicking. Media hotkeys (play/pause, etc.) are sadly absent from this keyboard but it does have a nifty scroll bar. ![]() The keyboard is LED backlit and has basic home, menu, reload, and volume hotkeys. This palm-sized keyboard will be tricky to type on for those with large hands, but thankfully, the latest version of this mini keyboard uses a traditional home row layout that you would find on a US keyboard. This inexpensive device has a compact keyboard, a mini touchpad, and just enough width to tuck away its wireless dongle. The Rii i4 Mini might look concerningly generic, but Rii has proven that their remote control-sized keyboards are designed for easy use with a number of media sources. However, if you need a wireless keyboard that works with both a PC and a Smart TV, then this is easily the best choice.įind more Logitech K600 TV Keyboard information and reviews here. If all you need is a dedicated keyboard for connecting to an HTPC, then the Logitech K600 might actually be overkill for what you need. It is one of few keyboards reviewed that runs on two AA batteries (included), but this works in its favor as the battery compartment also provides a small area to store the keyboard’s dongle when traveling. The K600 has an impressive 12-month battery. Unfortunately, Mac devices are only partially compatible and older devices like my beloved Steam Link aren’t compatible with this keyboard at all. The programming process is fairly straightforward and allows for full functionality with Samsung TV, Windows, macOS, LGTV, Chrome OS, iOS, Android, and Fire TV systems. Whether or not these keys work depends on which platform you’re using to stream, which means you have to program this keyboard via an online setup tool on Logitech’s website, even when you only want to connect with a PC. The left side of the keyboard houses additional navigation buttons like home, back, apps, and search. The touchpad has a directional navigation pad next to it that makes for a faster control scheme when you need to navigate a menu system. This touchpad can be tapped or alt-tapped to left or right-click but there are also easy-to-reach left and right-click buttons on the far left of the keyboard. The keyboard’s rounded touchpad is responsive and supports two-finger gestures for scrolling and zooming. The opt, start, command, and alt buttons are shared and also use the function key. This can be confusing if you are used to using F5 to refresh your page, for example. Note that these keys are function-locked to perform their media actions by default. The keyboard has a selection of media shortcuts on the function row, allowing you to play, pause, rewind, and fast-forward on pretty much any platform. Its rounded keys are responsive and easy to tell apart without looking down. The keyboard itself is compact and durable, made from a thick plastic that puts their older Logitech K400 Plus keyboard to shame. Both its Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connections are stable work from a max distance of 49 feet away. While most of the keyboards we reviewed only support 2.4GHz wireless, the Logitech K600 also supports Bluetooth, allowing it to work with the widest variety of devices. The Logitech K600 is a multifunctional touchpad keyboard that sets the bar for what one should expect out of a mini wireless keyboard. ![]() What makes the standard Mavic 3 such a brilliant device is that, while still being bigger than some telephoto lenses, the entire thing can be stuffed into a kit bag and taken traveling. Read our full DJI Mavic 3 Classic review for more details In fact, compared to the original’s launch, there are some advantages – the subject tracking, panorama capture, and other functions are all working from day one, and are pretty high-end. That means creators who would only have used the 24mm EFL camera can pay a little less to get the 15 km range, advanced return to home (avoiding and re-routing around objects), and the excellent battery life of the Mavic 3 without really losing out. Video recording with a 10-bit D-log, plus all the low-light benefits of the large sensor, is retained too. This “Classic” version ditches the relatively low-resolution zoom camera(s) but retains the 4/3 Hasselblad camera on more or less the same airframe (including C1 certification). The Mavic 3 or 3 Pro are powerful drones, and priced accordingly, but not everyone needs a “hybrid zoom.” The Mavic 3 version, especially, is much more about surveying than content creation. This is a much more video-bias interpretation of the mid-teir brand than the Air 2S, but all the better for it. It even has a decent portrait mode that uses the whole height of the sensor. It also gains waypoint mission planning at last.įor anyone wanting a bit more weight and speed – to cope with tougher, windier environments – and the creative clout to capture different kinds of video, this is a fantastic drone. very good, but not quite as cunning as a Skydio). It's still lighter – and, importantly, significantly cheaper – than the Mavic 3 Classic (with one camera), let alone the multi-camera Mavic 3 variants.Īll the other bells and whistles of the Mavic can be found here – it has version 5 of DJI's AI pilot assist which can track subjects and avoid obstacles and it's as good (i.e. Since the Air 2S, the drone has put on a little bit of weight and the image sensor is smaller, but by my reckoning it's still the best choice – because now it's got two slightly smaller (but modern, stacked) CMOS image sensors with cameras at a normal (wide) and a medium tele length – much, much better in terms of creativity. Read our full DJI Mini 2 review for more details The Mini 2 is still a very sensible option. We once speculated that it might gain more use, but with the arrival of the Mini 3 Pro, its clear extra features will come at a higher price (if not a higher weight). The drone also sports a hue-changing light for, er… well, it’s fun to change the color using the remote. Photographers have been rewarded with Raw, Exposure Bracketing (though only 3 stops), and DJI’s spectacular automated panorama features, while video enthusiasts finally have 4K under 250g (and a shiny logo near the lens to prove it), topped off with digital zoom (useful to have, not essential to use). Together with more powerful motors and improved software, this drone can handle Force 5 (not too bad for such a light craft). The Mini 2 has essentially the same fantastic OcuSync controller from the Mavic Air 2 and later, with automatic frequency hopping. Principally these were: the radio range, the response to crosswind, and an assortment of camera features. Well, the ones who usually flew much more expensive drones were mentioned, anyway. The Mini 2 is a reimaging of the even older DJI Mavic Mini, which took a well-engineered ultra-light airframe (the weight is non-negotiable) and fixed the areas that drone geeks complained about. Read our full DJI Avata review for more details ![]() ![]() The Motion or Motion 2 Controller alone limits Avata’s full potential. True FPV enthusiasts should also budget for a separate stick-based controller to unlock the full range of stunts and maximum speed. We also like the DJI Goggles Integra, again refreshed in March 2023 (even thought the DJI Goggles 2 cost more). The hovering-joystick controller was revised in March 2023 as the RC Motion 2, adding a brake and a function wheel for photo settings. DJI also bundle the drone in various ways. While they're a good idea on a typical photography drone, they can cramp the FPV style by slamming the breaks rather than capturing a cinematic near-miss.įor most, this will be a better choice than DJI’s previous FPV drone. Better yet, this is done without forward vision sensors. At the same time the “cinewhoop” style frame makes things safer. The 4K 60fps camera, with one axis powered stabilizer does all that’s needed in terms of video quality (digital stabilization handles the rest). DJI’s second FPV drone strikes a better balance between form and function than its predecessor while managing to keep the costs down. ![]() State and local public health officials interviewed ill people to determine what they ate and other exposures in the week before they got sick. These findings do not affect treatment guidance since antibiotics are not recommended for patients with E.

Marcos expressed his desire to acquire submarines from other countries, specifically diesel-electric models from friendly countries like US and Germany.įor the past several decades, the US Navy has stopped operating diesel-electric submarines, and has converted to an all-nuclear submarine force. The Philippines requested for 2 Balao-class submarines from the US in the 1950s, but this was not provided. In the end, only the flying boats arrived, which were assigned later on to the Philippine Air Force. In the early 1950s, the Philippine Navy requested for 3 World War 2 era diesel submarines from the US government, together with PBY Catalina flying boats. Either the Philippines was restricted by the American government in acquiring submarine technology, and when this was lifted, the Americans has not been able to transfer submarines for believing that the Philippine government cannot support such capability. The Philippine Navy has been aspiring to acquire submarines since the 1950s, but has been unsuccessful in many attempts. Spain's Navantia also confirmed that it will be submitting an offer based on their S80 Plus Isaac Peral-class oceangoing submarine. Naval Group confirmed that it has revised its offer with the Scorpene-class but similar to Brazil's Riachuelo-class which is longer to accommodate more batteries, while DSME was acquired and changed name to Hanwha Ocean and made an offer on September 2023 with the KSS-III Jangbogo-III PN which is a downsized variant of KSS-III Dosan Ahn Changho-class without VLS and AIP (although AIP remains an option). In 2023, the project was not awarded and was moved to Horizon 3 phase with an increased budget of Php97,000,000,000.00, equivalent to US$1.7 billion. As of 2022, only Naval Group and DSME continue to be in talks with the Philippine Navy. Discussions are also still ongoing with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and South Korean government with the Jangbogo-I DSME-1400PN, and ASFAT and the Turkish government with the Reis-class (Type 214) submarine. Discussions and negotiations ongoing with Naval Group and French government, for final price, soft loan financing, and package inclusions. * Status: Philippine Navy shortlists Naval Group and DSME as of 2019, top selection with Naval Group with Scorpene-class CM-2000 diesel-electric submarine. * MaxDefense Searching Hashtag: #PNSubmarineAcquisition * Source of Funding: Soft loan financing, to be paid via GAA Funds through AFP Modernization Program Trust Fund * Acquisition Mode : Government-to-Government (G2G) Process with still unknown country. * Modernization Phase: Horizon 3 Phase of the RAFPMP, moved from the 2nd List of Horizon 2 Phase of RAFPMP as of 2023. * Quantity: 2 units, plus Submarine Basing, Submarine Training facility, support equipment, training, logisitcs support, and others. * End User: Philippine Navy (future Submarine Force) The Scorpene-class submarine, which is currently the leading model selected by the Philippine Navy. This resource page is expected to be longer than usual due to the discussion on the history of the Philippines' desire to have submarines. The Submarine Acquisition Project, currently the most expensive and most complicated project of the Philippine Navy, will provide the Philippine Navy with assets that even a small fleet of frigates may not be able to provide in terms of overall naval combat capability. The Philippine Navy has embarked on the acquisition of a small fleet of diesel-electric attack submarines, which would allow the service to increase its combat capability, and taking advantage of submarine's use of underwater cover for deterrence and surprise attack against larger, more capable countries. ![]() Scroll to the bottom of the article for instructions in English.

Investor trepidation based on the struggles of Snap and other unique technology IPOs one investor called “tech unicorns” may well represent an obstacle for those companies and others.

Those concerns get extra concerning given major tech IPOs in the offing: Altice USA, the American arm of the multibillion-dollar Luxembourg based telecom, is expected to make a 46.5 million share, $27-31 initial offer this week, and the Blue Apron meal service will be making a public offering soon as well.
