![]() The closest thing to a viable explanation of the origin I could find is “squid” as it applies to inexperienced motorcyclists. Generally what members of the other branches call Navy sailors. Personally, I’m more on board with the first. The second explanation pertains to the combination of military uniform components: flat cover (aka, “a hat”) with a collar which allegedly makes the the head and neck look unusually cylindrical. The first is the “high and tight” buzzed haircut that has long characterized the (motivated) Marine, and how the style somewhat looks like a jar. I’ve heard a couple of explanations for this. In the event of an enemy missile launch toward a strike group, guess which ship would be sent out to absorb the impact to protect the other vessels? This put the once-proud frigate into a permanent state of defense to be used as little more than a hedge for higher priority CGs, DDGs, LHAs, etc. In modern times, these ships are packed to the gills with as many as 225 sailors (all male, except for female officers) and 0 missiles, due to reallocation of armament, and the impending decommissioning of the entire ship’s class. Missile Sponge (Applies exclusively to Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates, at least for now)Ī long time ago, these ships were considered fast and heavily armed for their size (about 450 ft) with a crew complement of (theoretically) 120-150. Kirk Benda, 757th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron specialist section chief, kisses his wife Melissa Benda Even (especially) the ones that pick on sailors. Because frankly, I find this shit amusing. I’ll think of as many as I can, elaborate on their origins and causes as well as I can, and you guys can feel free to add to it in the comments below. Generally, the ones that I did hear about were alcohol induced and largely in the name of “fun”, or what passes for fun in the military, which is frequent, though hardly serious engagements of violence.įor better or worse, everyone is picked on in one way or another. ![]() Things have changed substantially in the military, and I don’t have any recollection of starting a fight, engaging in, or hearing about many inter-departmental or cross branch fighting because of petty name calling, at least that I recall. Newbies tend to take it a bit personally, and in the olden days -I think- a sailor calling a Marine a jarhead would be just grounds for a bar fight. This is just point of fact, and shouldn’t necessarily be viewed as anything other than amusing. By joining the military, you inadvertently sign on for any number of service related slurs.

![]() Use cooking oil to cover the grill grates again before adding meat etc, to prevent the moisture from the food reacting with the metal.Before using your grill (even after following all the steps in the part above) you must use your wire brush to scrape the surface of the grill grates.Thankfully, there’s a way to prevent this fast-forming rust from forming anyway, and it’s a really simple thing to do with just a wire brush: Remember earlier when I said grills don’t all need moisture to rust, especially when reaching high temperatures? Well, what’s the point in doing all the steps above if it’ll just rust anyway? That’s why oiling your grates after each use, and DEFINITELY before storing your grill away for long periods, is so important. They’re just not able to, so by covering your grill with oil, no moisture will be able to get on to the metal surface and react with the iron to form rust to begin with. Why is oil so important? Well, I’ve spoken about it a few times here, but basically, we all know that oil and water don’t mix. Cover your grill so no moisture can get in (use your lid and an additional sheet or cover where possible).Then use a small amount of cooking oil and paper towels to spread the oil evenly over the grill grates. ![]() ![]()

The electric crossover feels clumsier on a twisty road and offers less driving range, though its still a leader in that area among rivals such as the Ford. Furthermore, getting out of a car with gull-wing doors if the vehicle rolls over on its roof is particularly tricky. Upswing doors tend to have a higher propensity for leaking and a higher center of gravity, which make the car less stable around corners. The aesthetic beauty of designs such as the gull wing belie their practical shortcomings. ![]() So why not others? Well, they're unconventional for a reason. With the exception of a few exotics, virtually every car in the world today uses these two formats. Not only does it look almost identical to the original concept, but multiple lightly camouflaged.

Inside, there are four bucket seats, and the same 17-inch capacitive touch-screen interface as found in the Model S. The Model X will also be available in all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive. While it sits a little higher than the current Model S, no one will ever mistake it for a truck, and it does not have the off-road performance of a truck either.

The authors of the new study did not look at that particular question, although a recent analysis of 35 studies demonstrated a modest effect on attention, memory, anxiety and pain perception. If binaural beats can boost this process, it’s possible that it might have a beneficial effect on some types of cognition, perhaps including memory recall. To return to the analogy of different brain wave frequencies being like different languages, your brain sometimes needs to translate messages from one language into another, and vice versa. Some cognitive tasks, such as learning and memory formation, require networks within the brain to communicate with one another despite using different types of brain waves. However, the researchers did find that binaural beats can elicit “cross-frequency connectivity”, in which the brain coordinates its activity across different types of brain waves. But when they asked participants to describe any changes to their mood, they found that neither types of sound had any significant effect. They found that both binaural and monaural beats can entrain the brain to their particular frequency. The authors played binaural or monaural (normal) beats to 16 participants, and recorded their brain activity with EEG. ![]() A deep-pitched musical tone or a lightbulb flickering a few times a second can indeed cause your brain cells to start firing at the same frequency.īut does this entrainment necessarily have any effect on our mood? As the authors of the new study point out, there is still little convincing evidence for this. We also know that brain entrainment is a genuine effect that can occur in response to particular rhythmic frequencies perceived by our senses. ![]() We might almost think of these various types of brain waves as different languages that the brain uses for different functions.Ĭurious Kids: What happens in our bodies when we sleep? Theta waves (4-7Hz), meanwhile, are linked to memory and emotional regulation. Delta waves are also associated with learning and motivation. For example, during deep sleep the predominant brain activity happens with frequencies of between 1 and 4 Hertz, so-called delta waves. Specific frequencies are thought to be involved in specific cognitive tasks. The frequency of this synchronous firing can be measured with EEG (electroencephalograpy) electrodes on the head. It is thought that large groups of neurons can fire together to share information within the brain. The brain is made of billions of nerve cells (neurons), which transmit information to one another across huge networks of interconnections. ![]() What are these different types of brain waves? In other words, listening to binaural beats allegedly promotes brain waves associated with our most relaxed states. The purported relaxing effect is allegedly due to the fact that these frequencies are similar to the frequency of brain waves that occur during deep sleep, as opposed to the higher-frequency brain waves associated with conscious activities. It has been claimed that this third frequency prompts brain cells to begin firing at the same frequency – a process called “entrainment”. The resonance between the two frequencies is interpreted as a third sound (termed a “binaural beat”, because it involves two sound inputs, and is heard as a frequency in between the two played frequencies). Here’s three hours’ worth – are you relaxed yet? What are binaural beats?īinaural beats is a perceptual illusion that occurs when two slightly different frequencies (notes) are played into each ear separately, typically using headphones.

In addition to these booming business opportunities, it has been estimated that over $300,000 of each ransom is spent on bribes to businessmen, clan leaders, village elders, and politicians. In this ransom-fuelled economy, few people had an economic incentive to oppose piracy. Evidence on the effect of ransoms on local prices, export volumes and currency exchange markets strongly support these conclusions. In what is often referred to as a “Dutch Disease”, this currency appreciation reduced profits in export markets like livestock. In addition, ransoms resulted in currency and price inflation. This money increased profits among businesses that cater to pirates, like drug traffickers, construction workers, prostitutes, and vehicle importers. Ransoms have brought over 350 million dollars into Puntland over the last five years, making it the largest single source of wealth in the Puntland economy. ![]() So why have piracy attacks been particularly rampant in Somalia? In a follow-up study with Justin Hastings at the University of Sydney, we suggest one possible answer: The size of the ransom economy has created a vicious cycle, making it increasingly unprofitable to oppose piracy. When pirates have an opportunity to work in a legitimate (and less risky) business with high wages, they are more than willing to forego piracy. Second, and most encouragingly, these results tell us that pirates are not trapped in a life of piracy. Pirates choose to take to the sea, not because they have no other option, but rather because the alternatives do not pay enough. First, they tell us-contrary to Muse’s claim-that pirates do often have other employment opportunities they can turn to. These results lead us to a couple interesting conclusions. Significantly, when prices rise again, there is also an appreciable decline in attacks. We demonstrate that when prices drop in low wage markets, there is a significant rise in the number of pirate attacks in affected states. We then looked at the effects of changes in the profitability of low-wage markets, as measured by global commodity prices. Piracy is common in over twenty coastal states, and we collected information on all attacks that occurred in these states over the last decade. This effect of declining wages on piracy is true globally. By comparing price and wage rates over time, we establish that much of the rise in Somali piracy was probably caused by this reduced purchasing power and unemployment. These newly unemployed were likely attractive to pirate organisations because of their training and access to arms. These coincided with a budgetary crisis in Puntland in April 2008, which forced the government to withhold wages from border and security forces. In 2008, Puntland was affected by a combination of drought and inflation, the latter largely driven by conterfeit currency and high world food prices. In a recent study published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution, we provide evidence that supports a different story. Many pirates have never done any fishing and studies of ransom spending suggest that the money is spent far from coastal cities. Nor is it the case that all pirates were fishermen. While illegal fishing has been a problem in Somali waters, there is little evidence of a sharp drop in fisheries production leading up to the spike in piracy. Nor is there much evidence that piracy is driven by declining fisheries. In addition, most evidence suggests that Puntland was actually doing quite well economically prior to the rise of piracy in 2008, largely fuelled by rising exports of livestock to the Middle East. Contrary to a poverty thesis, piracy began, not in Somalia’s war-torn and poorer southern regions, but in a comparatively well-off and stable north-east region of the country known as Puntland. To be fair, Captain Phillips is accurate in its portrayal: interviewed pirates do often claim that they took to piracy due to poverty, declining fisheries and the incursion of foreign fishing fleets into Somali waters. This thesis is also often perpetuated by the media and policymakers, although in reality the actual relationship between economic circumstances and piracy is more complicated. LSE’s Ryan Jablonski and Steven Oliver of the University of California, San Diego explore the reasons for piracy on the Somali economy.ĭuring one of the more poignant scenes in the Oscar nominated film Captain Phillips, Tom Hanks’ Phillips castigates Muse, the pirate leader, that “There’s got to be something other than being a fisherman or kidnapping people.” To which Muse retorts, “Maybe in America”, perpetuating the claim that Somalis are driven to the seas by high levels of poverty and instability. ![]() Please fill out the CAPTCHA below and then click the button to indicate that you agree to these terms.
