Tech review: Imou DB2S Video Doorbell is godsend for dwellers of thick-walled apartments

Living in an apartment can be blissfully quiet — a real plus until someone's at your door and you don't hear them. My building, unlike many in Belfast, was seemingly built with Cold War-grade concrete, thick enough to block out any sound not blasted through a buzzer.
If someone knocks, I don't hear it. If they press the bell, I still don't hear it. Deliveries? Missed. Friends? Left loitering. And unless you want to permanently live with the anxiety of being 'door-adjacent', there hasn't been a great fix — until now.

Blue Jays place All-Star catcher Alejandro Kirk on the 7-day injured list with a concussion

DETROIT (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays placed All-Star catcher Alejandro Kirk on the seven-day injured list with a concussion on Sunday. In a corresponding move, the club recalled catcher Ali Sanchez and activated him for the series finale against the Detroit Tigers. The 26-year-old Kirk was pulled in the fourth inning of Saturday's 6-1 victory over the Tigers after he took a foul tip off his face mask. He was replaced by Tyler Heineman. Kirk began Sunday sixth in the majors with a batting average of .304. He has seven home runs and 47 RBIs in 88 games this season. ___ AP MLB:

Lauren Boebert's son charged with child abuse in incident she described as a ‘miscommunication'

Rep. Lauren Boebert's son has been charged with child abuse following an incident involving her grandson that she described as a 'miscommunication.' Tyler Boebert, 20, the eldest son of the MAGA congresswoman, was cited for criminal negligence where no death or injury occurred, which is a misdemeanor, for the July 11 incident, according to Windsor Police Department records obtained by Denver Westword. Authorities have not yet shared details about the incident, which the 38-year-old congresswoman brushed off as 'a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of the house.' In a statement, the congresswoman described her son's legal trouble as a 'one-time incident,' noting there was 'no injury or physical abuse involved.' Child Protective Services met with the family, the congresswoman added. It's not the first run-in with the law for the congresswoman's 20-year-old son, whose girlfriend became pregnant with his child when he was just 17 years old. In September of 2022, Tyler Boebert flipped his father's SUV into a creek, leaving the person in his passenger seat with multiple concussions and a severely lacerated hand. He was ticketed for careless driving. The case was eventually dropped down to a 'defective vehicle for headlights' ticket under a plea deal. Then, in January 2024, he called the police to report that his father, Jayson, was assaulting him, leading to his arrest. During the incident, Jayson allegedly 'pushed Tyler to the ground and pushed his thumb into his mouth,' according to the arrest affidavit. A month later, Tyler was slapped with more than a dozen felony charges for a series of thefts from vehicles – and for using stolen credit cards at local gas stations. Tyler Boebert pleaded guilty last October to a single charge of attempting to commit identity theft and was given a two-year deferred judgment, allowing his felony to be cleared from his record after completing his 24-month probation term. He was required to complete 80 hours of community service and was banned from using controlled substances. It was not immediately clear whether the most recent citation would be a breach of his probation. He is due in Weld County Court on September 8. Lauren Boebert did not immediately return The Independent's request for comment.
