Arch pain in foot during ruck12/2/2023 See the Salomon X Ultra 3 Mid GTX Hiking Boot on AmazonĪlso, any discussion of rucking boots is incomplete if you don’t mention the Salomon Forces Quest 4D GTX (Buy on Amazon). These boots are very comfortable and have fatigue reducing features – just what you want to go the distance.īy the way, these Salomon model of boots have a 2 year warranty. Salomon has been designing and making hiking boots for over 50 years. ![]() ![]() These are light-weight, maximum traction, and all around great boots. It’s made for warm weather, no GORE-TEX – so it’s lighter and has the best breathability. If you want a great hiking boot without GORE-TEX, check out the Salomon Men’s X Ultra Mid 3 Aero Hiking Boots (Buy on Amazon). Is it going to rain all day? Then wear shoes or boots that drain. So the key question becomes: Just how wet are your feet going to get? If you know your feet will be submerged, you don’t want waterproof and you don’t want Gore-Tex.Īnd by the way – heavy rain can be the same as being submerged. Most people don’t think boots with Gore-Tex drain well enough. Gore-Tex is able to repel liquid water while allowing water vapor to pass through, and is designed to be a lightweight, waterproof fabric for all-weather use.īut, that same ability to repel water means water stays in if your feet get submerged. Gore-Tex is a waterproof, breathable fabric membrane. If you do have to hike through a stream or creek, it’s better for the water to drain away quickly.Īnd for these same reasons, boots with Gore-Tex are less than desirable as well. What you really want are boots that drain well. Waterproof boots are not going to be very breathable – so your feet will get wet from sweating – and that means blisters, and that’s not very comfortable.Īdditionally, if you have waterproof boots and your feet get wet (like hiking through surf, a creek, etc.) the water will not drain. Generally speaking you don’t want waterproof boots. A GORUCK Selection event – one of the tougher events, your feet are going to be submerged in water, and very wet. ![]() The next important question: Are your feet going to get wet? Will your feet be submerged in water? If you are participating in an official GORUCK challenge event there’s a good chance that may happen, by the way. What sort of terrain are you covering? Will it be wet, rocky, sandy, muddy, or any of the other conditions that make boots essential? Or are you required to wear combat boots to simulate real world conditions? For military training purposes rucking in boots is recommended – to accurately prepare for the real world. And you can do this anywhere you can walk – in an urban or rural setting.įirst of all, the most important gear for rucking is your footwear.īoots or running shoes? Well, that depends. Burn more calories than walking and with less impact than jogging. It’s a cheap, simple exercise that burns calories and builds aerobic endurance due to the added weight on your back. What is Rucking? Rucking is walking with a loaded backpack.

Minuteman missile silo architects12/2/2023 ![]() ![]() For reference, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima that killed up to 126,000 people had a yield of just around 15 kilotons. ![]() Each Minuteman has one, two, or three thermonuclear warheads, each with an explosive yield of 350 to 475 kilotons. Finally, land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), sitting in reinforced underground concrete silos, carry larger warheads and are highly accurate, capable of taking out enemy ICBMs in their own silos if necessary.Īmerica's current ICBM is the LGM-30 Minuteman III, and about 400 of them sit below ground in silos scattered across the Midwest. Ballistic missile submarines launch missiles that are less accurate but nearly undetectable when submerged. Bombers are slow but can be retasked, have a "man in the loop," and can be recalled if necessary. This new missile, called the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD), will replace the 45 year old Minuteman III.Īmerica's strategic nuclear arsenal is built on a "triad" model-nuclear warheads are distributed among a force of bombers, ballistic missile submarines, and intercontinental ballistic missiles, each with their advantages and disadvantages. Air Force has awarded contracts to Northrop Grumman and Boeing to build a new long-range intercontinental ballistic missile. last but not least, there’s an indoor shooting room in case you want to practice for a zombie invasion.The U.S. this is because there is an aquaculture set up that can be used for raising fish like salmon and hydroponics for growing organic vegetables like tomatoes, lettuces or fruits like strawberries and blueberries. In terms of survival, there’s a shop where residents can buy all the food they want, including fresh produce. a saltwater pool, completely computer-controlled with a water slide and cascade will make sure you feel like vacationing whenever you want. as for amenities, you can find a pet park, climbing wall, classroom, library, gym, bar and cinema. from those floors, seven are for luxury living with condos that have all the goods a luxury apartment could want with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. the complex is spread across 15 floors, goes 200 feet underground and can have a maximum occupancy of 75 people. ![]() just imagine that the door that welcomes you into the building weighs eight tons and is made of armored steel filled with concrete.īoasting a total of 54,000 square feet, the survival condo has everything you could ever need to live through the end of days. The survival condo has been called an engineering marvel and resides in what larry says is one of the strongest man-made structures ever created a nuclear hardened bunker with walls as thick as 9 and 1/2 feet made from epoxy hardened concrete that was built back in 1960 to house and protect the atlas nuclear missiles. developed by engineer and software developer larry hall, this doomsday underground building is ‘not for your typical survival nuts as portrayed in media, but rather for successful, educated and well-to-do individuals who simply want peace of mind in the event of a natural or manmade disaster.’ set underground in a secret location in kansas, united states, the survival condo presents itself as a missile silo converted into a luxury survival resort. If the apocalypse is coming, the super-rich can buy underground luxurious condos where they will have all the commodities found on their penthouses in cities like paris or new york. Indesign ebook tutorial12/2/2023 ![]() Udemy is becoming a popular training destination and they have a number of programs.Let’s talk about FREE first! Adobe has a number of free training videos.In both cases you will want to end up with a mobi file which you will upload or send to Amazon. The second solution is to produce the EPUB file using InDesign and then use Kindle Previewer to convert the file to mobi format. There are two ways to prepare your eBook for sale in the Amazon Kindle store. By the way, many of the video training programs also have courses on Word and using style sheets.Īlso See: Format a Word Doc for eBook Conversion-5 Resources Amazon So take the time to make sure headings and paragraph styles follow a specific set of rules. It is a somewhat tedious process but it’s probably easier to do it in Word than in InDesign. InDesign isn’t going to alleviate the need to standardize the styles used in your manuscript. One more thing: fixed page eBooks are designed for specific devices, like Kindle Fire, the color Nook tablet and Apple iPad. This is often the best format for a children’s illustrated eBook. Unlike reading a regular EPUB eBook the content does not arrange itself according to font size preference and screen size. That is, all the page elements-words and images-are aligned on the page just the way they were in the print book. This type of eBook differs from a regular EPUB in that the output file is like a PDF file. A related keyword is fixed page EPUB or fixed page layout.In other words, does the training material have sufficient detail about using InDesign to create EPUB files? (I explain files for Amazon below.) Evaluating training programs (and YouTube videos) In this post I want to point you to a few of those resources and just as importantly make a few suggestions before you get started. I had a call this week along these lines-I think the person was in front of their computer waiting for me to talk them through the clicks! It’s not something we do anymore but the good news is that there are several online training resources and of course books as well. Sometimes it makes more sense for a publisher to learn how to create their own eBooks rather than outsource to someone like AuthorImprints.

Did arcane use motion capture12/2/2023 ![]() Because the characters of Spirits Within strive for true photorealism, we are more acutely aware that there is something not quite human about them. Bearing little resemblance to the franchise from which its name is derived, Spirits Within was crippled by its rather tepid plot and somewhat bland characters although Aki and her comrades look fantastic, they occupy a place on the slopes of the Uncanny Valley.Īlthough, or perhaps because, the film’s characters look almost real, they maintain something of an alien quality, whereas the endearing cast of Toy Story possessed just enough human characteristics to give a familiar sense of humanity, of life, without striving to seem truly alive, audiences were able to become emotionally invested in them. ![]() Although a box office bomb which returned only $85 million of its $137 million budget, it was notable for being the first photorealistic computer animated feature film. A mere six years later, Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of Final Fantasy, brought Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within to our screens in 2001. It also proved that computer animation was a viable approach to filmmaking and paved the way for a slew of CG features and effects. Toy Story was nominated for several awards, and won its creators awards for leadership and technological achievement. This component of Lucasfilm would later go on to be purchased by Steve Jobs and become Pixar, the company which produced the world’s first fully computer animated feature length film, Toy Story, in 1995. Where once directors would have made use of puppets, miniature sets, prosthetics and pyrotechnics, now they make use of the numerous powerful tools afforded them by digital technology.ĭirectors such as James Cameron and George Lucas have taken a direct hand in creating the technology they deem necessary to tell their stories dissatisfied with the tools available to him at the time, Lucas began his Star Wars saga halfway through, later hiring Ed Catmull to head Lucasfilm’s Computer Graphics Division. Less and less of what we see on screen is real in the physical sense – given the fictional nature of film, it would be inaccurate to describe anything on screen simply as ‘real’ – as more and more is left to digital insertion post-filming. ![]() Special effects, which used to be the realm of the likes of Ray Harryhausen and his golemic stop-motion puppets, are now dominated by animators working with computers and render farms. As many directors abandon celluloid in favour of digital, film becomes less alchemical and more technological. Similarly, the cinematographer can see how his shots turn out right there and then and decide if he needs to re-shoot, rather than waiting, wondering and being forced to try and recapture the moment the next day. The day’s film no longer needs to be developed over night in order for footage to be reviewed, but can be played back instantly. ![]() The emphasis on how we receive content has shifted, too, as these services provide programming on demand, in some cases releasing a whole series simultaneously to be viewed at the subscribers discretion.Īs the technology has evolved, the filming process has changed as much as the viewing process filming on digital, takes are no longer governed by the ten minute limit of a reel of film. Services such as Netflix and LoveFilm which offer us the option of streaming content from both film and television on computers, mobile phones, and tablets subvert the communal cinema experience as viewing becomes ever more individual, ever more private. Lines are blurred as television, characterised by its role as a private, home-based viewing medium with episodic content, traditionally shot on a lower budget and with lesser equipment than cinema, grows and begins to match the silver screen in both technology and content. The advent of digital has occasioned many changes in the way film is made and viewed many directors now film digitally rather than on film stock, and thus editing is now a primarily computerised process.

Obama potus twitter12/1/2023 When contacted by ABC News about D'Almonte's experience, Twitter provided the link to the social media site's " Inactive Account Policy," which allows Twitter to reclaim dormant and rarely used accounts. ![]() In the realm of social media, specifically Twitter, the official White House account was set up in 2009. "I probably should have worked harder to hold on to it but I just didn't," D'Alimonte said with a laugh. 'The POTUS Twitter account will serve as a new way for President Obama to engage directly with the American people, with tweets coming exclusively from him,' The White Houses Alex Wall explained. POTUS, an acronym standing for President of the United States, has its origins in telegraph code, where it was used as an abbreviation. He has not tried to re-register the handle since his initial attempt in 2011. Today, with a tweet from the Oval Office, President Obama launched POTUS - the official Twitter account of the President of the United States. "I just thought okay, whatever, and kind of never thought about it again until today." "For whatever reason, when I tried to create the new account using a different email address, it said that I couldn't take D'Almonte said. It turns out D'Alimonte was correct, with President Obama himself taking over the handle and putting it to use on Monday.īut when D'Almonte went to re-register the handle with a different e-mail address – almost immediately after he changed his original handle – he was blocked from doing so by Twitter. "Because I was looking for jobs at the time … I thought it was probably time to choose a handle that better reflected me and not the President of the United States, which I definitely am not."Īfter initially changing the handle to his own name in 2011, D'Almonte decided he should not entirely let go of the handle on the off-chance that someone might be interested in claiming it down the road. 20, President Barack Obama will give up the POTUS Twitter account that he has used since 2015 to make way for President-elect Donald Trump and his team to take over the account. ![]() "I had the handle until 2011 when I moved to the U.S.," D’Alimonte, a Canadian citizen who currently lives in Toronto but spent several years living in California, told ABC News.
