![]() Department of Defense began the JVX aircraft program in 1981, under U.S. The failure of Operation Eagle Claw, the Iran hostage rescue mission, in 1980 demonstrated to the United States military a need for "a new type of aircraft, that could not only take off and land vertically but also could carry combat troops, and do so at speed." The U.S. Development Early concept illustrations of V-22 Origins Navy planned to use the CMV-22B for carrier onboard delivery duties beginning in 2021. Since entering service with the Marine Corps and Air Force, the Osprey has been deployed in transportation and medevac operations over Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Kuwait. Air Force (USAF) fielded its version of the tiltrotor, the CV-22B, in 2009. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) began crew training for the MV-22B Osprey in 2000 and fielded it in 2007 it supplemented and then replaced their Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knights. The V-22 first flew in 1989 and began flight testing and design alterations the complexity and difficulties of being the first tiltrotor for military service led to many years of development. The Bell Boeing team jointly produces the aircraft. A partnership between Bell Helicopter and Boeing Helicopters was awarded a development contract in 1983 for the V-22 tiltrotor aircraft. The United States Department of Defense (DoD) initiated a program to develop an innovative transport aircraft with long-range, high-speed, and vertical-takeoff capabilities, and the Joint-service Vertical take-off/landing Experimental (JVX) program officially commenced in 1981. ![]() In 1980, the failure of Operation Eagle Claw (during the Iran hostage crisis) underscored that there were military roles for which neither conventional helicopters nor fixed-wing transport aircraft were well-suited. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft. The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is an American multi-mission, tiltrotor military aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing ( VTOL) and short takeoff and landing ( STOL) capabilities.

Should you decide to remove McAfee then whilst it should uninstalll using the usual Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Program applet, in some cases it does prove more stubborn and in that case you will need to use the McAfee Removal Tool which you can find in this list of AV removal tools.just use the one for McAfee to make sure that you get rid of it completely.įinally, McAfee comes with it's own firewall, and whilst WSA also has a firewall component it is different in that it requires use of the Windows Firewall or a 3rd party firewall, so you need either the latter switched on or the latter installed for more information on WSA & the Windows Firewall please see here. WSA is designed to be compatible/compliant with other mainline security application and practice that is true 98% of the time (only know issues are with BitDefender).īut I believe that you will find that WSA is lighter on your system resource, and also less 'noisy' when compared to McAfee, whilst giving yo that better protection. However, nothing prevents you from running both on your system for a while and doing a comparison as to which one you prefer/which one suits you best. Whilst there is no need to remove McAfee in my opinion WSA will provide you with much better protection. With these results in mind, it’s impossible to declare a winner for this category, seeing as both performed remarkably. Microsoft Defender also hit the sweet spot in its performance test to swoop the 6.0/6.0 marks from AV-Test. Just keep them if you know something as installed without your permission, or just to ensure something you installed is not in their databases. McAfee achieved the full 6.0/6.0 for its performance.

![]() Some footwear with Gore-Tex Surround lacks the durability seen in boots like the Nucleo. For comparison, similar boots often weigh 3 to 5 ounces more apiece. Lightweight Hiking Boot Choiceįor leather hiking boots, the Nucleo is lightweight. The same holds true on dewy, early-morning hikes or light mountaineering in snow. Go ahead and walk through shallow streams or puddles. Gore-Tex Surround provides full waterproof protection and improves airflow around the foot. The result is underfoot breathability, whereas most footwear offers no air movement where the sock compresses against the insole. But Gore-Tex Surround incorporates a woven polyester or polyamide mesh insole that allows air to pass beneath the Gore-Tex bootie insert. Gore-Tex has long been used in hiking boots. La Sportiva balances the leather with breathable, protected mesh (see “Nano Cells” section above) to give you the best of both rugged protection and breathable comfort.įootwear Breathability From Gore-Tex Surround It is resistant to wear and a good choice for hiking boots. Nubuck leather is a rugged performer with a velvet-like surface. This system protects the mesh yet allows air to circulate around the bottom of the foot, letting feet breathe. You can see a fine (breathable) mesh material through the PU web. La Sportiva injects a polyurethane “web” onto the mesh upper to form what it calls Nano Cells. The Nucleo is for sale now at REI, in men’s and women’s models for $199. GearJunkie got a pair to inspect for this breakdown. ![]() This year, La Sportiva upped the ante with its Nucleo hiking boot by combining Gore-Tex Surround and a proprietary feature, Nano Cells (see the web pattern on the image above). The waterproof/breathable membrane Gore-Tex Surround increases breathability in footwear. Hiking boots can get clammy, especially on warm days. But the quest for breathability in waterproof boots has taken a step forward in recent years. Buying used because they are cheaper, broken in, and I can really try them out before committing (at REI anyway).A ‘macro membrane’ pattern serves as a visual cue (and a functional feature) on the Nucleo High GTX boot, which La Sportiva claims is its most breathable boot to date. They feel like high top basketball shoes but with a Vibram sole.īeen through lots of boots lately trying to find a replacement for my worn out Alico boots for backpacking. If the boots had fit I would have kept them despite the odd setup, but it is definitely out of the mainstream. The clips and the narrow laces are not too bad. 12.5 USA is bigger than 29.5 But I was getting a little heel slip in the 12, and even in the wide version my left foot was too long (hitting the end of the shoe), so figured 12.5 would not fit either. Most m ondopoint 12 hiking boots are 29.5 La Sportiva is less than 29.5 So La Sportiva is definitely smaller if you go by USA size. Since La Sportiva have a reputation for being narrow I figured they might fit my narrow heel wide toe foot. Emailed La Sportiva they told me their wide in this shoe (and the Raptor BTW) is only wide in the toe box area. I find La Sportiva's to be my new go-to footwear for just about any occasion. I can even wear them around my residence for any occassion and keep my feet feeling comfortable all day long.īeing prior military, fire/law enforcement, I have worn many types and styles of footwear. Temp Control: With the proper socks, these boots kept my feet very warm in sub-freezing temps and likewise, in warmer temps my feet weren't drenched from sweating.Ĭonstruction/Durability: From dry sandy conditions to wet, rooty, rocky, mossy, muddy or wet environments these boots performed as advertised and did not experience any breakdown or tears from environmental conditions.Īs stated above, I have worn two different pair of these boots on the Appalachian Trail on long distance section hikes. Support: The design of the tread allows one to negotiate rocky terrain and not create pinpoint stabbing to your heel, arch, and toe box. Fit: My custom orthotics added a huge plus to the comfort of the shoe for long distance hiking. ![]() ![]() While researching this, we read an article that confirmed that when the Margarita was gaining momentum in popularity, the 3 similar drinks in circulation were the picador (lemon based) the sidecar (lemon based) and the daisy. To give some context to our debate, there are some that argue that eliminating the orange liqueur actually makes this a version that is not a margarita! The Tommy’s version is characterised by omitting the orange liqueur from the recipe. One widely known twist on the original has become a modern day classic: the Tommy’s Margarita. Stories of its origin are as numerous as the variations of the drink, and as with most classics, bartenders and enthusiasts find ways to tweak the recipe. In the 1953 December issue of Esquire Magazine, the first printed mention of a ‘Margarita’ recipe read: one-ounce tequila, a dash of triple sec and the juice of half a lime or lemon. It has the same ingredients and proportions as a Margarita but was published years before the first reference of a ‘Margarita’. Tarling, which was published in London in 1937, reads a recipe for a cocktail called The Picador. Whether you look at the influence of a 1920’s cocktail called the Daisy (the recipe was a combination of a citrus juice - lemon or lime, a spirit, and orange liqueur) or one of the most widely repeated claims of invention by Margarita Sames, a Dallas socialite who was apparently the first to rim the glass with salt during a party in 1948 or the declaration made by Carlos “Danny” Herrera that he invented the drink for actress Marjorie King, who didn’t like to drink tequila straight, but combined the tequila/lemon/salt (the widely known combination for a tequila shot, right!?), it’s important to consider this: the word “daisy” is translated to “Margarita” in Spanish, thus giving possible weight to one of the claims that one of the original names for our fave cocktail was ‘Tequila Daisy’.įrom the mid-1930’s onward, there were scores of Margarita origin myths and to add confusion to the matter, (and weight to our personal claim of lemon being the true hero and original base of a good Marg) in the book “Cafe Royal Cocktail Book," by W. And believe me, we’ve dug deep on the topic to prove our point! Like so many inventions discussed over a cocktail or in a bar, ideas scrawled down on napkins only to end up crumpled in the bottom of a purse or pocket, there are numerous stories relating to the origin of the “original” Margarita recipe. And the answer is YES! It is absolutely a Margarita, and we won’t shy away from our opinion that ours will be the best Classic Marg you’ll taste! A commonly asked question when discovering our Classic Margarita Mix is made with a lemon (not lime!) base is, whether it is in fact, a 'real' Margarita. It can also help in the treatment of blood disorders and conditions affecting the feet. How Will Blue Onyx Help You?

Discussion forums are also available, along with a personalized diet profile. You can build your own personal food database and log your meals and exercise. MyFitnessPal offers free features, including a food diary to track what you eat and a searchable food database of more than 14 million items. The app includes a blog with plenty of informational videos and stories. The app then recognizes the type and portion of the food you're eating and adds those to your list. Users can scan a barcode on packaged food, and a handy camera-enabled feature allows you to scan your actual plate of food. Once you have, the app provides a daily calorie intake goal to help you meet your desired rate of weight loss, which it doesn’t let you set higher than 2 pounds per week. You’ll also be prompted to set up an account. MyFitnessPal guides users through an initial setup that asks basic questions about height, weight, activity level and goals. While many calorie-counting apps only track the number of calories, carbs, fats and proteins in foods and meals, Cronometer drills down in more detail the many other vitamins and minerals that constitute the food you eat each day. In addition, the company offers a professional version designed for nutritionists, dietitians, schools, hospitals and research teams.Ĭronometer’s key difference from other calorie-tracking apps lies in the robustness of the data related to micronutrients that it collects and supplies. ![]() For paying customers, there is a higher-tier gold account that removes advertisements and provides additional features, such as long-term data charts and reports, custom biometrics, recipe sharing and more.

The following 10 nutrition tracking apps are among the best known and most widely used.Ĭanadian company Cronometer’s free app allows you to log your meals and track up to 84 micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and macronutrients (fat, carbs and protein). Not all apps make it easy to track these other nutrients, and some aren’t very accurate even when they do. "But for others I work with, it might be protein, fiber, saturated fat, sodium, etc., that they’re tracking as they work toward other health goals.” “For many people, it’s calories, and lots of apps are tailored to this," she explains. The second factor Cochrane recommends considering is which nutrients you’re trying to track. More choices mean it’s more likely to be an easier task to log your foods.” "Many apps have a verification process for entries that will help in making sure what you’re choosing best matches what you’ve actually eaten. “First, evaluate how large and how accurate the database is in the app," she advises. There are two main factors to think about when trying to find one that works for you, she adds. “Everyone has their preference when using these apps,” says Samantha Cochrane, a registered dietitian at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus. And with new apps being created all the time, it may take some trial and error to find the one that works best for you. While a simple notebook and pencil can do the trick for some people, there is now a wide variety of free and paid apps on the market to help dieters keep track of their foods. Presidents do this by endless maneuvering, manipulating, compromising, persuading, and bargaining and on the other side, congressional leaders use the same methods to hamstring them. To get any major legislative program off the ground in our Madisonian maze of countervailing and overlapping powers, politicians are compelled to piece together a new patchwork of factions, congressional votes, and temporary coalitions. A standard device of both presidential parties is to choose the Vice President from one of the congressional parties. The parties move in and out of coalition at any time any one of the four might coalesce with any one of the others. Congressional committees are countered by presidential commissions. The President flanks Congress with legislative powers, just as Congress flanks the President with executive powers. Their own counterpart of the gerrymandered congressional district is the electoral college. ![]() ![]() Presidential parties are typically, though not uniformly, majoritarian, activist, and welfare-minded and internationally oriented. The congressional parties fear “the tyranny of the majority,” stress (certain) minority rights, and are rooted in the one-party areas, North and South. Its prophets are Madison and Calhoun and its contemporary spokesmen are James Burnham, William S. It is basically Madisonian and rests on states’ rights, local elections, rural over-representation, restricted franchise, powerful congressional committees, the seniority system, and the filibuster. It is generally conservative, isolationist, and intrinsically negative. Burns’s view-and the historian will not accept this without qualifications-the congressional parties have a common ideology. Both the Democrats and Republicans are divided into a presidential party and a congressional party, and Pennsylvania Avenue is approximately as long for the Democrats as for the Republicans. Ours is in fact a system of four parties, each of which is made up of coalitions. For only nominally is ours a two-party system in order to govern, these Presidents have been compelled to manipulate multi-party coalitions more complex than those of France before de Gaulle. They have been hobbled by Madisonian checks and hamstrung by coalition politics. Bums points out that the Presidents who have tried to play this role have been dogged by frustration. ![]() Burns labels this fragmentation the “Madisonian Model,” and he is persuaded that it has long since outlived its usefulness.īut Mr. The fragmentation of power thus produced was further aggravated by the federal system, with its rivalries between state and nation, governors and legislatures, city mayors and state governments. Burns attacks neither the motives nor the methods of the framers, but rather their often celebrated handiwork of checks and balances: elaborate safeguards, countervailing forces, separate constituencies, staggered elections, separated powers, counterbalancing vetoes, overlapping authorities. Not since Charles Beard published his Economic Interpretation of the Constitution fifty years ago have the framers of the Constitution had so rough a time. ![]() Burns devotes half his book to a revision of American political history. Burns has struck a telling blow at both the American political tradition itself and at all the scholarly and public complacency about that tradition. As for the present, the conventional field of operations for political scientists, his estimate of the situation might have been more accurately represented by substituting in the title of this book the word “Breakdown” for “Deadlock.” For all his mild-mannered tolerance and all his deference to classical authorities, Mr. James MacGregor Burns, the genial professor of political science at Williams College, has a deceptively bland way of advancing revolutionary readings of the past and revolutionary proposals for the future.

This a once-through, quick tuning that gets the piano to proper pitch and close to being in tune, but not as close as a standard fine tuning. ![]() If the piano has one or more sections more than 50 cents off standard pitch, I will usually raise/lower the pitch at the first visit and then come back in two or three weeks to do the fine tuning, allowing the piano to get used to the drastically different amount of tension on the strings and soundboard. If most of the piano needs a pitch adjustment, it's $30 extra. If one portion of the piano needs raising/lowering, it's $15 extra. Consequently, an exact price for a tuning cannot be given until the piano has been examined, but it will be between $100 and $160. This entails tuning the affected portion or the whole piano to bring it close to the correct pitch before doing the actual fine tuning of the piano. The average hourly rate that professionals charge for piano tuning is 100, but some tuners charge as little as 60 an hour. If an area of the piano or the whole piano is more than 10-15 cents below or above pitch (100 cents = 1/2 step), then either a partial or complete pitch raising/lowering will be necessary to ensure a stable tuning. If its been a long time since its last service, average tuning service. The amount depends on how much of the piano is in need of pitch adjustment. Average tuning service call cost is 150 200 + tax, if piano has been maintained. Price of a raising or lowering is an extra charge to a standard tuning. |
