Meanwhile, Saint-Exupery searches for him, and Guillaumet's wife waits fearfully at home. The story: Guillaumet takes off, crashes and spends several days trekking back through breathtaking mountain scenery to civilization. Elizabeth McGovern plays his wife, Noelle Guillaumet and Val Kilmer is Jean Mermoz, the heroic pilot who is his inspiration. A company is established by aviation pioneer Antoine Saint-Exupery ( Tom Hulce) to extend airmail service over the Andes, and Henri Guillaumet ( Craig Sheffer) is the brave pilot who flies his flimsy little craft into mountain storms. “Wings of Courage” finds that more than long enough for its thin story, which involves the early days of commercial aviation in South America. ![]() IMAX movies are more or less limited to a 40-minute running time because of the huge size of their film reels (you need a block and pulley to lift one). It's one of only four theaters in the country capable of showing IMAX 3-D (another is the Sony flagship theater on Broadway in New York City). The movie is showing at the IMAX Theater at Navy Pier, which recently shut down to install the new projectors necessary for the process. Because the screen is so large, the illusion isn’t constantly being shattered when an object touches the edge of the screen.Īnd because the light source is so strong, the picture isn't dim and washed out. The result is breathtakingly good: The picture at last looks truly three-dimensional. The goggles are high-tech they have liquid crystal lenses that are controlled by radio waves, and each lens blinks 48 times a second, in sync with the projected image. And instead of those flimsy little glasses with the red-and-green lenses, you get space-age goggles that wrap around your head and make you look like Tom Corbett, Space Cadet.

![]() ![]() RoboForm is also compatible with all major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, Safari and Internet Explorer. Supported operating systems include Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, making it easy to use RoboForm on a desktop computer, laptop or smartphone. RoboForm and LastPass both work on most major platforms and browsers, giving you the flexibility you need to manage passwords across an array of devices. The one-way process prevents hackers from reversing the salting, making it impossible for hackers to remove the extra data from your master password. LastPass also uses one-way salted hashing to prevent unauthorized access to your accounts. This means that no one - including LastPass employees - will ever see your master password. One of the main forms of encryption used is 256-AES, which prevents your data from being transmitted to the company’s server. Like RoboForm, LastPass protects your data with several types of encryption and advanced security features. When it comes to creating a master password, RoboForm provides an additional layer of security by requiring you to use at least eight characters, four of which must be letters or special characters instead of numbers. This involves adding extra characters to make it more difficult for anyone to guess what your master password is. RoboForm also uses the PBKDF2 algorithm to “salt” your master password. ![]() It remains on your device, making it extremely difficult for hackers to gain access to your accounts. As a result, your master password is never transmitted to RoboForm or any other location. For example, account owners are given a secret key that prevents their master passwords from being decrypted on the company’s server. RoboForm uses several security methods to keep your data safe. We spent more than 10 hours testing RoboForm and LastPass to see how they compare with each other based on five evaluation criteria. We also checked to see how many users are supported by each type of account. It’s important to choose a password manager that fits your budget, so we evaluated both tools based on how much it costs for individual accounts, family accounts, and business/enterprise accounts. The best tools make it easy to share passwords for music and video streaming services, joint credit cards and other shared accounts. To help you choose the right one for your needs, we tested each password manager to determine how easy it is to share credentials with family members or business associates. Password sharing is important if you plan to create an account for multiple users. Although no security method is 100% foolproof, biometric authentication is one of the most secure ways to protect your data, as it’s incredibly difficult for a hacker to replicate your fingerprints or some other unique aspect of your identity. This security method uses fingerprints and other unique identifiers to verify your identity before granting access to your accounts. We evaluated these tools on their usability and checked to see if each password manager supports biometric authentication. For users who haven’t upgraded to Edge yet, we also checked to see if each tool is compatible with Internet Explorer. We tested each password manager to determine if it works with major operating systems and internet browsers, including Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Edge. Others require strong master passwords to ensure your data stays private.įew people use just one browser or device these days, so it’s important for a password manager to work on many platforms and browsers. Some password managers alert you when you create a weak password but don’t force you to choose something stronger. We also conducted tests to determine which tools do the best job of helping you create secure passwords. We evaluated each password manager based on the strength of its security features, such as whether it uses end-to-end encryption or secret keys to keep your logins safe. ![]() The main function of a password manager is to protect your login credentials from hackers and other unauthorized users. Keep in mind that no single password manager is right for every situation. We’ve cut through the noise by comparing two popular password managers according to five key features. When it comes to choosing a password manager, not everyone has the same needs, making it difficult to choose the right tool. ![]() ![]() The first wide-spread cursive penmanship instruction was the Spencerian handwriting system named after Platt Rogers Spencer who established a chain of business schools in the mid-1800s. There are several cursive scripts which were widely taught in schools throughout the United States. Mandatory education, along with the inexpensive copybooks which could be purchased nationwide, advanced literacy tremendously. The spread of literacy, which was originally limited to monks and a few highly trained laypeople, was suddenly possible. Penmanship manuals could then be printed in large number and used to teach people how to write. Oddly enough, widespread penmanship was given a big boost by the development of copperplate engraving which enabled the production of copybooks. Cursive started with professional scribes or "embossers" as they were called in the 18th century. This precursor to cursive was labeled "italic" after Italy.Ĭursive writing which features linkages between all the letters in a word and flowing letter shapes which allow the pen to move easily and continuously is much more efficient and the time saved was important to business and governments. It featured linkages between some letters in addition to the slant. ![]() Niccolo Niccoli, an Italian living in the 1400's, is credited with giving a distinct slant to a form of Carolingian script. An example is the Book of Kells, a beautifully illuminated book of the four Gospels, which was produced by the Columban monastery on the island of Iona off the coast of Ireland. Some monasteries became famous for the works produced in their scriptoriums. Writing was a specialized skill primarily executed by monks in monasteries as a way of earning income for the order. The resulting Carolingian minuscule script introduced the ideas of upper- and lowercase letters, punctuation, and spaces between words. In the 700's, Charlemagne hired an English monk, Alcuin of York, to develop a script by which the recordkeeping of his kingdom could be standardized. ![]() To save parchment, it was later condensed into capitalis rustica, a curvier, smaller script. This lettering system worked very well in the great stone edifices the Romans erected. Until 400AD, the Romans used all capital letters in a style called capitalis quadrata (square capitals). Around 2,400 BC, the Egyptians began using papyrus and reed brushes for writing. About 3,000 BC, the Sumerians introduced one of the earliest forms of writing, cuneiform, which relied on a wedge-shaped stylus pressed into moist clay or wax. Writing started with printing and was naturally greatly affected by the tools available to record the information the writer wished to transmit. In fact, National Handwriting Day is celebrated each January 23rd in honor of John Hancock, well known for his clear signature on the Declaration of Independence. It is much faster to write in the easy, flowing manner of cursive where the pen only leaves the paper between words rather than after or even during each letter. Cursive writing was developed to save time. ![]() ![]() 8 on the charts in June 1962.Ĭrawford stayed busy with guest appearances on episodic TV throughout the ’60s and well into the ’70s, with credits including Rawhide, Lancer, The Big Valley, Hawaii Five-O, Little House on the Prairie, and, later, Murder She Wrote.

But was that safe? Not! The baby was sleeping on a feather pillow which had been put in the bed! It would have been easy for this baby to suffocate against that. The beautiful baby was sound asleep in their bassinet. I remember going into a home for a breastfeeding consultation many years ago. If you have a pillow top mattress consider putting a yoga mat under where the nursing parent and the baby are sleeping to make the surface firmer. We would have been so much safer on a firm flat mattress with no blankets or pillows near the baby. I think back to my first weeks with my first son and we slept together, him on my chest, on my husband’s old lazy boy reclined for hours each night. Being over heated is associated with infant death, in bed or not!ħ. Have them near you but in the safest sleep position.Ħ. After you are done feeding make sure to roll them on their back. Her fragile baby stopped growing in the uterus and had to be delivered by emergency Ceasarain Section at 38 weeks. No one told this mother that this was a risk factor. When you have a fragile baby they are much more likely to die period, but bed sharing is more of a risk. This news story is what spurred me on to write this. Watch this award winning news story to learn more.Ĥ. This is rarely talked about but most babies who die in beds with their families are formula fed. BTW, go a head and have a glass of wine or beer, just sober up before bed!ģ. What about medications for a Cesarean Section? So not just drugs you might be taking for fun but any medication that might cause physical or mental impairment. No smoking! Research shows that babies who sleep with smokers are more likely to die in bed.Ģ. Here are the Safe Sleep Seven: Safe Sleep Sevenġ. I am saying if you do bed share, here are some ways to make it safer. Be clear, I am not recommending that families bed share. They know that bed sharing and breastfeeding often go hand in hand so they have developed a list of suggestions to help reduce the risk of infant death while bed sharing.įamilies need to feel comfortable with their choices. I have been involved with La Leche League for over 24 years. In my experience, this perfect sleep scenario is rare. Having your baby appropriately dressed (Not to warm, not too cold.), in your bedroom for the first twelve months (How come we aren’t talking about this?), close at hand but in their own separate sleep space with no blankets, pillows, bumper pads (Why are stores still selling bumper pads?) in the sleep space with them, is safest. The nursing parent provides all of that for them. They just want warmth, security, and food. Many of us don’t have to worry about tigers eating our babies any more but our little ones don’t know about all of the modern changes that make life so much safer for them. Humans are a carrying species and our babies expect to be close to us. I say, smart baby! Being close to a parent helped keep a baby safe not too long ago. Many families choose to bed share but many families end up sleeping their babies because the baby will not sleep unless they are touching another human being. This outstanding webinar by Marji Cyrul discusses what the current research actually says. This re-thinking has caused a re-framing of just say no, “never sleep with your baby”, to a risk reduction approach at least at the state level here in Michigan. This unintended consequence seems to be having the “safe sleep” folks reconsider their approach to reducing infant mortality. Since the infant mortality coalitions have started the campaign of “never bed share” with your baby, an unanticipated result seems to be infant deaths on couches and chairs have been sky rocketing. For more information check out our podcast on this! Make sense? On a couch? Co-sleeping but not bed sharing. When you are bed sharing, having an infant sleep with another adult in a bed, you are co-sleeping but not all co-sleepers are bed sharing. This is when a baby and another person are sharing a sleep space. There are many terms that are often confused. ![]() It is more common for families who are breastfeeding to bed share but many families who formula feed also bed share. Up until the last 100-200 years babies commonly slept with their parent and around the world this is still common. Little human mammals expect to sleep close to their parents and often won’t settle if this doesn’t happen. Bed sharing and having young babies seem to go hand in hand. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe do some Googling if any of this interests you.
