Witch riding broom1/25/2024 ![]() The earliest known image of witches on brooms dates to 1451, when two illustrations appeared in the French poet Martin Le Franc’s manuscript Le Champion des Dames (The Defender of Ladies). His confession came under torture, and he eventually repented, but was still imprisoned for life.īy the time of Edelin’s “confession,” the idea of witches riding around on broomsticks was already well established. He was arrested in 1453 and tried for witchcraft after publicly criticizing the church’s warnings about witches. Edelin was a priest from Saint-Germain-en-Laye, near Paris. From the beginning, brooms and besoms were associated primarily with women, and this ubiquitous household object became a powerful symbol of female domesticity.ĭespite this, the first witch to confess to riding a broom or besom was a man: Guillaume Edelin. It gradually replaced the Old English word besom, though both terms appear to have been used until at least the 18th century. The word broom comes from the actual plant, or shrub, that was used to make many early sweeping devices. Bryan Lowder writes, this household task even shows up in the New Testament, which dates to the first and second centuries A.D. It’s not clear exactly when the broom itself was first invented, but the act of sweeping goes back to ancient times, when people likely used bunches of thin sticks, reeds and other natural fibers to sweep aside dust or ash from a fire or hearth. But the actual history behind how witches came to be associated with such an everyday household object is anything but dull. The evil green-skinned witch flying on her magic broomstick may be a Halloween icon-and a well-worn stereotype.

Pocket hose1/25/2024 ![]() The exterior of the hose, which protects the core from damage, should be tough enough to resist abrasion and punctures it also needs to dry quickly to resist mildew. Quality hose materials can make the difference between a long-lasting, quality expandable hose and one that’s dead in the water. Most of the hoses we tested came with multifunction spray nozzles, although virtually any spray nozzle will fit. The quality of these products varies based on materials, hose length, fittings, weight, and spray nozzles. The best expandable garden hoses swell under moderate water pressure, drain themselves, and resist wear and tear thanks to its lightweight, kink-free outer shell. They’re a great choice for homes where storage space is limited, tight spaces where other hoses kink and twist, and for anyone who is tired of lugging around heavy, traditional rubber hoses.

Expandable hoses are self-draining, kink-, twist-, and tangle-resistant and weigh far less than their conventional counterparts while taking up very little space.

Hider 2 mac app1/25/2024 ![]() Fantastic implementation and customer service. Ultimately I really like this software and the improvements they’ve made to it. Questions like “Where is my data actually being kept on the file system?” and “Contrary to the name, it’s not just ‘hiding’ the files, RIGHT? It’s actually moving and encrypting them?” We are, after all, talking about people’s personal data so they should have quite a few questions about the way it’s being moved, stored, and accessed. Once added, you can toggle between hidden and visible with just a click of a switch no one can see or find your files with Finder or Spotlight when hidden in Hider 2. Just launch Hider 2, enter your password, and select a file to add to the Hider 2 vault. They were quick to answer…however I feel like a majority of what I was asking should have been readily available. Hider 2 is an app that lets you hide, encrypt, and password protect private data on your Mac. I had to email the developer a few times with specific questions. Additionally, I wish their website had more information about the software. Not the worst thing in the world…but I would prefer if they used the sparsebundle which is organic to OS X. Something I don’t particularly like is that all my data is kept in their proprietary format (.hvault). I’ve even changed computers and was able to port my secure files to my new computer seemlessly. SO dang easy to use and from what I can tell, secure. Inside the program, you can set a second level. ![]() I was looking for something to keep medical, tax, and personal records (documents with my social) encrypted and yet easily accessible. When you first use Wise Folder Hider, you need to setup a login password. I’m highly satisfied with my purchase here. Easy to create and name file “drawers” within the safe though they cannot be renamed after using them. The app rates password strength as it is typed in. The app has a nice user interface with a dial on a “safe” that moves as you type in a password-though the moving dial is meaningless, it’ a fun feature. Perfect your menu bar by completely hiding icons Hide any app icon from your Mac’s menu bar Compatible with light and dark menu bars Automatically hide icons again after five seconds Start Vanilla automatically when you log in Toggle icons with a keyboard shortcut (Seriously, I use this with Command-Shift-< like forty times a day. After 10 years of protecting your most cherished files and securing your most sensitive data. Not so, the documents are spread throughout the computer so I created special Hider files so I could more easily find the hidden documents. The most loved vault for Mac, 2009 to 2019. I expected Hider2 to be a large private file. When Hider2 is opened, anything in it can be shown or hidden wherever the files are stored. The original photo must be moved to iPhoto trash and erased. Hider 2 Application from MacPaw is the best alternative to protect files. Try to open the folder where the app is stored (or its installation. The photo must be copied out of iPhoto, put it in a file or on the desktop then it can be hidden with this app. Making a ZIP file on MacBook or iMac is very easy Just put the multiple files. (2) Apps that have an dedicated uninstaller: Head to the /Applications folder in Finder. It does not hide any photo stored in iPhoto. They remain wherever they are on the computer Hider2 simply hides them with an encryption code. Documents and photos are not moved into the safe at all. and in this way separate and organize all the content.Somewhat pricey but effective. To hide files no need to do anything specialSimply by dragging the folders or files they will be encrypted at the moment and the operation is very simple, that is, when you open the program for the first time you will be asked for a 'master' password where we can create different areas for work, leisure. Hider 2 is an important MacHider update, a program in which it is based on its first version and uses a simple utility that takes the aesthetics and refinement of the Mavericks interface to the style of the menu of the entire system with AES-256 bit encryption for files and folders as well as equally support notes, labels and external discs. Interest in information security is growing and especially with the continuous failures and bugs of the countless plug-ins and programs that we install on our computers, so much so that the least surprising thing is that you want to protect some of your files from prying eyes, either by unauthorized intrusion or so that they cannot directly gossip certain information.Īny of a number of overly 'complicated' solutions can be used for this including very extensive terminal commands and tutorials, but the developer MacPaw wants it to be a little easier so that the average user can take advantage of Hider 2 and more now that its launch is at a promotional price of € 8,99 being its normal price of Hider 2 of € 18,99, but MacPaw offers us this opportunity by lowering it 10 Euros from what will be its usual price.
