Pour the melted butter evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the cranberries over the top of the brown sugar. Add the cubed bread to the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cranberries over the top. 2.

Some new services are available to thwart the efforts of the thieves who steal packages from the doorstep. But awareness can help, too. Security cameras, either real or fake, can scare away would-be thieves. Many cameras are integrated into doorbells. But subtle cameras don t usually scare off criminals, so manufacturers recommend actually posting a sign to tell criminals they are on candid camera. Amazon is working on a way to prevent package theft with its new Amazon Key option, available to Prime members in a few dozen cities for about $250. The system is powered by an electronic front door key that allows a delivery driver to unlock the home and place the package inside. For people with pets or concerned about privacy, Amazon has also introduced a Key In-Car service, which allows carriers to open a car trunk to store packages. Amazon also has lockers available at places like Whole Foods that serve as a central drop off point from which the purchaser can pick up their package with a secure code. Still, most people will have to make secure arrangements by having packages delivered to a work address or a trusted neighbor. 68
