![]() I entered the Air Force in 1985 as a trumpeter in the Ceremonial Brass, which is the ceremonial unit of the United States Air Force band. VILLANUEVA: Well, it all started, of course, with my experience in the Air Force band. How did you go from doing the military memorial service work to honoring fallen military personnel? We are joined in the studio today, by Jari Villanueva, "Taps" bugler and historian. If you're just joining us, I'm Allison Keyes and you're listening to TELL ME MORE from NPR News. He got his brigade bugler, a 22-year-old by the name of Oliver Wilcox Norton, to help him revise that earlier bugle call into those 24 notes that we know today as "Taps." ![]() Now the tune that, of course that I just played, "Taps," was not so much composed by General Daniel Butterfield, but actually a revision of an earlier bugle call that went out of use just prior to the Civil War. It's made out of copper, has a brass garland out of it that surrounds the bell and it's an instrument that was used by the military buglers of the Civil War. VILLANUEVA: Yes, I'm playing it on a vintage instrument that comes from the 1860s. And you're playing it on a beautiful instrument. I always want to cry every time I hear it. VILLANUEVA: Yes, here is "Taps." There's 24 notes. KEYES: Can you play us "Taps" as we know it now? So he decided that he would revise that bugle call. General Daniel Butterfield thought that that particular call was just a little too formal-sounding to end the day. KEYES: But the gentleman that eventually composed "Taps" had an issue with that music, didn't he? And it was the call that would be sounded at, like I said, at the end of the day to tell the soldiers to put out the lights, extinguish the lights and go to sleep. And interestingly enough, it was Napoleon's favorite bugle call. VILLANUEVA: And the call that I just played came from the French. It's the call that was replaced by "Taps." KEYES: So that's the call that inspired "Taps" in the first place. And it was the call prior to the Civil War that would tell soldiers to put out the lights and go to sleep. It's called "Extinguish Lights" and it's found in the early manuals. This is a bugle call that was used during the Civil War. We're going to talk a bit about the history of "Taps." But, first, would you honor us with a performance? It's my honor to do over 300 military funerals a month for our Maryland veterans. JARI VILLANUEVA: Thank you for having me. ![]() He's now director of the Maryland National Honor Guard. With us now in the studio is Jari Villanueva, who played "Taps" at military funerals at Arlington Cemetery for 23 years. ![]() My next guest is a "Taps" historian and a retired trumpeter for the United States Air Force Band. "Taps" started out as a military signal for soldiers to turn out the lights and go to bed. That's in a bit.īut, first, the bugle call played at military funerals is ingrained in American culture as the music of mourning, but it wasn't always that way. Michel Martin is away.Ĭoming up, the weekly Can I Just Tell You commentary. ALLISON KEYES, host: I'm Allison Keyes and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News.

Īccording to a Jsurvey by Pew Research, 61% of Americans supported drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia. Meanwhile ,47% supported President Trump’s decision to order the strikes that killed Soleimani and others. Fewer people believe signing international agreements (29%), sanctions (23%), or military intervention (17%) are very effective. 3 drone strikes that killed Iranian Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, found that 35% of Americans agree that drone strikes are a “very effective way to achieve US foreign policy,” an increase from 23% in 2015. The United States also has the right under international law to “anticipatory self-defense,” which gives the right to use force against a real and imminent threat when the necessity of that self-defense is “instant, overwhelming, and leaving no choice of means, and no moment of deliberation.” Read MoreĪ Jan. Harold Hongju Koh, JD, Professor of International Law at Yale University and former US State Department Legal Adviser explained, “a state that is engaged in an armed conflict or in legitimate self-defense is not required to provide targets with legal process before the state may use lethal force.,” and a country may target individuals in foreign countries if they are directly participating in hostilities or posing an imminent threat that only lethal force can prevent. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia have officially consented to US drone strikes within their countries because they are unable to control terrorist groups within their own borders. The UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary, or arbitrary executions has said that Article 51 applies if the targeted state agrees to the use of force in its territory, or the targeted group operating within its territory was responsible for an act of aggression against the targeting state where the host state is unwilling or unable to control the threat themselves. ![]() Īrticle 51 of the UN Charter provides for a nation’s inherent right to self-defense when it has been attacked. The AUMF states that the President is “authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.” The AUMF does not have a geographic boundary, and the Obama administration notes that al Qaeda militants far from the battlefield in Afghanistan are still engaged in armed conflict with the United States and therefore covered under the law. Additionally, in 2001 Congress passed the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), authorizing armed conflict with al Qaeda and associated forces indefinitely. ![]() Presidential powers under Article II of the US Constitution allow the use of force against an imminent threat without congressional approval. Pro 2 Drone strikes are legal under American and international law. Drone strikes eliminate all of those risks common to “boots on the ground” missions. Such pursuits may pose serious risks to US troops including firefights with surrounding tribal communities, anti-aircraft shelling, land mines, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), suicide bombers, snipers, dangerous weather conditions, harsh environments, etc. Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and their affiliates often operate in distant and environmentally unforgiving locations where it would be extremely dangerous for the United States to deploy teams of special forces to track and capture terrorists. Drones are launched from bases in allied countries and are operated remotely by pilots in the United States, minimizing the risk of injury and death that would occur if ground soldiers and airplane pilots were used instead. Simply put, these strikes have saved lives.” īeyond killing terrorists, that drones are remotely piloted saves US military lives. transit systems, European cities and our troops in Afghanistan.

I have no idea how he figured this part out but luckily he told me what my Amazon search URL is! I always use the tools on Amazon to create individual URLs for products I review so I never knew what it was! For grins and giggles and if you want to make your own extension instead of using the one I’ll give you, you’ll have the URL: This is where I need to enter the Amazon search URL that tells Amazon that you came from my site. The only tricky bit for me was to enter the Search URL. Choose the Extension type, which in our example will be a search extension. You enter your name as the author, name the extension, give the extension a title that will be shown in the menu bar app, optionally you can add an icon that will show when text is selected in the little pop window. It’s about a 2 minute process (if you round up) to use PopMaker. With the free PopMaker you can easily create your own PopClip extensions. He found a link to a free tool written by Brett Terpstra called PopMaker. I can’t wait to try out more of these PopClip extensions! But wait, I’ve gotten distracted from my cause You can translate text using a bunch of different translation engines, Grab some text and instantly start a tweet using your favorite client. There are extensions for all of your favorite Notes and To Do list applications, instantly creating a note after selecting the text. Someone created a Say extension for PopClip that does it instantly. I’m sure you know you can have OS X speak any text you select, but it’s a couple of pulldown menus to do it so it’s clumsy. One of my new favorites takes the text you’ve selected and displays it in Large Text on screen. I started scanning the 142 extensions that are available and it’s crazy what you can do with PopClip. You know how you copy some text from the web and paste it into an email or a document and it has all the dumb formatting of the website instead of your document? If you use the Paste= extension in PopClip, it executes a past and match style which means the pasted text takes on the format of your document. My main use of PopClip has been to add the “Paste =” extension. When I’m done explaining what Claus taught me, you’re not going to have to do this to use my Amazon Affiliate link because I’ll give you the extension, but I’m going through this so you can make your own extensions if you like. The cool part about PopClip is that people can write extensions for it and as of right now there are 142 free extensions available. PopClip’s behavior is contextual, so it will change to offer paste, look up in Finder and more options depending on where you select text. ![]() At its most basic level, when you select text in OS X, a little window pops up above the text, offering to copy the text, search the words on the Internet or look the word or words up in the dictionary. PopClip is a menu bar app from PilotMoon that lets you do all kinds of fun things. ![]() Let’s start with the geekier idea first, and that’s the PopClip extension. I figure most of you will never do this but the tools he’s teaching me are so cool, I wanted to share the fun. Once you’ve watched them I think you’ll be motivated to give one of these ideas a play. They’re great because they really show how much easier it is to use one of these solutions rather than trying to remember to go to and enter a search term in that little Amazon box. When Claus first told me about his ideas I didn’t really “get” how they would work so he made two videos that I’ve linked in the shownotes. Just in case someone doesn’t know what we’re talking about here, if you buy something on Amazon after using my Amazon Affiliate link, a small percentage goes to help the show and it costs you nothing.Ĭlaus’ two ideas to make it easy and natural to help out the show are a bookmarklet and a PopClip extension. Like any good NosillaCastaway he started with a problem to be solved: “People don’t use affiliate search boxes on websites, because they are creatures of habit and changing habits is hard and nearly impossible, unless there is value to be gained by doing so.” He’s right, I hear from people all the time saying they meant to use it but they have trouble remembering. He came up with two great ideas to make it super easy and even kind of fun to use Amazon Affiliate links. My new favorite NosillaCastaways is My new favorite NosillaCastaway is Claus Wolf from Germany. ![]() This is all built on a character’s three hooks, which are a mixture of personality traits and, well, plot hooks, and serve as influences to both a character’s chance to have events as well as how they react to them. This kind of exposition prevents each individual campaign or playthrough from drowning you in reading, as can sometimes happen in other RPG-like games. In fact, there are many of these little tidbits that help to flesh out the characterizations and add depth to characters and the world. Since events usually occur once, they are not mechanically relevant but are still nice to see, as they provide context and a bit more depth to the world in a relatively simple way. For example, after an event which featured spirits dancing in a standing circle, the standing circle appeared in the hex. They will also develop the character mechanically or provide some sort of bonus for the next fight, and sometimes both! The events can also add landmarks to the map after they occur. Events serve as character development, fleshing out the character’s past or defining how they will exist in the future. ![]() The game features numerous events with a varying degree of rarity. The map isn’t available in its entirety from the beginning, as the game is broken up into three or five chapters with each additional chapter revealing a larger part of the map to explore. Each one features a circular map with a number of zones, and has either an event or a battle against one of the game’s five factions, with the majority focused on whatever the main enemy of the campaign is. Wildermyth comes with nine campaigns, five pre-designed and four procedurally generated, though even the designed campaigns feature a large element of procedural content. Wildermyth, by Worldwaker Games, is a turn-based tactical RPG where the player controls a party of mythic heroes seeking to defend the procedurally generated Yondering Lands against one of many possible threats. ![]() Lower Latency – Latency refers to the ability of a system to perform in real-time. With an increased frequency, the data speed also increases. On the other hand, 3G uses 900-2100 MHz, frequency bands. The key difference between 3G and 4G is the frequency used to broadcast data. This means no video buffering, game lag, breaking audio, or low-resolution video calls. Benefits of 4G Servicesįaster and better speed – The fourth generation of the network is 10 times faster than the third generation of network. The key takeaway is that LTE is 10-20 times faster than the third generation of the network ( 3G). Understanding the technical definition of LTE can be difficult and confusing. LTE naturally lies under the 4G standard, as it acts as a data access capability. The name was decided by Telcos (Optus, Virgin Mobiles, etc.) for the fastest internet services they could provide at present. Aussies use the term LTE for 4G, which stands for Long Term Evolution. The term ‘ 4G’ is used as a network standard. There are three major companies in Australia providing 4G data services to Aussies in all cities. The 4G network provides better internet speed, faster data transfer, high upload, and download speeds, no video buffers, high-resolution audio and video, lower latency, and wider bandwidth. For instance, it will take you 15 minutes approx to download a movie of normal resolution or a song from iTunes will take 10-12 seconds at max. ![]() For an LTE phone, you can expect a download speed of 20 Mbps, which is 10 times faster than the 3G network. Your data provider will give quick broadband data speeds to your receiver or mobile broadband device. The term ‘ 4G’ is also known as ‘LTE’ in major parts of the country. Users depend heavily on the 4G network for various purposes. AT present, 4G is being used full-fledged. The journey began with the introduction of the first generation of the network (1G), back in 1987. What is 4G?Īfter the evolution of networks, we have come across the fourth generation of the network. The best solution for such areas in investing in a quality 4G signal booster for Australia.

While getting GBA on your BlackBerry may be difficult (if not impossible), there are a ton of different options to get your hands on a working emulator and a compatible device to play all the Game Boy games you want. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords, Pokémon Pinball, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire are just a few of the games for those with GBA nostalgia. So, you ask, what's so great about GBA that someone would want to go through all this trouble? Well, GBA had some pretty sweet games that would simply be bomb to play during downtime. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video. This, of course, would take up a lot of space and would require a ton of work and patience, but if you really want to get that GBA emulator on your BlackBerry, then this is your best bet.Ĭheck out these BlackBerry employees running an Android emulator on a PlayBook. From there, you could theoretically run a GBA ROM by mimicking the Android system. That emulator would then allow you to download a GBA emulator for an Android device, since your BlackBerry is moonlighting as an Android. It has also been suggested that BlackBerry users download an Android emulator. While some people have had minimal success launching a GBA ROM on the BlackBerry PlayBook, there have been many problems reported, including the inability to save games, only being able to play one ROM, and sluggishness. When it comes to BlackBerrys, the list of compatible emulators and ROMs is very similar to the other smartphones on the market-except when it comes to GBA. Once that's done, you can download the Pokémon Gold ROM and run it through the emulator. So, if you want to play Pokémon Gold on your BlackBerry Pearl, you would download the Game Boy Color emulator directly to your phone or transfer the download from your computer. In this case, it's mimicking whatever gaming system you choose. In order to play any of a particular system's games or ROMs (read-only memory files), you must first download an emulator that will allow your device to mimic the original device's attributes. Depending on what system you're using, a Mac, Windows PC, Android device, or BlackBerry, each emulator will run differently or not at all (most sites list what devices are compatible with each emulator). There is an emulator available for almost any gaming system you can think of, from Super Nintendo to the PS2. Is it truly impossible to do? How It Works You can find a few tutorials and videos out there on getting Game Boy Color or NES games on an Android device, but the most elusive mobile emulator is for Game Boy Advanced (GBA) on a BlackBerry.

But I have something else on my mind right now. Technically, I was going to tell you more about Pingoo’s story. Now it’s time for Pingoo’s morning ice cube shower. Then, a cloud transformed! From it, something that we’d never seen before came flying.” What that was? I will tell you tomorrow. ![]() ![]() What was that? Surprised, we checked the sky, but there was nothing but a few clouds. That was fun! Suddenly, we heard a loud noise from above…RATTLE RATTLE, like that. “A few years ago, I played catch with my siblings on the ice. They have had the dream of flying for a long time, Pingoo told me. They were going to take flying lessons with a well-known seagull in the Caribbean. That’s why he’s always wearing his special hat, too. Not exactly the best conditions to go flying!Įxactly! Despite all that, Pingoo and his siblings have the mission to become the first flying penguins of the modern age. That’s why their wings have deteriorated. They also need to dive a lot to catch fish under the ice. Penguins have built up quite a resistance to adapt to the cold. Or you’d need to add runners to your wheels. Probably not, I’d just slip and fall all over the place! You wouldn’t just go and ride your bike there, would you? Sometimes, it’s minus 50 degrees Celsius there. They had to adapt to their natural habitat, the Antarctic. You learn it once and never forget how to do it! But over thousands of years, they lost the ability to do that. Penguins cannot fly, although they are birds and have wings You know, a long time ago, penguins could actually fly. Well, I am eager to see what your ‘accomplices’ will come up with. Pssst Pandas, do you have any idea what Ella is talking about? I’ll have to consult my accomplices first. ![]() But there is one thing they can’t do with them. Then you’d know that penguins might have wings that they can use to dive really well with. Maybe you should watch an animal documentary rather than action movies every once in a while. They are more or less on a penguin mission.Īh Max, you always only think of James Bond. Pingoo and his family do not want to solve a case, but they want to risk a jump. Well, sort of like that….but not a mission like the ones you might be thinking of, with fast cars, wild chases and unafraid spies. Pingoo and his siblings didn’t just want to go for a holiday in the Caribbean. Pingoo will soon be reunited with his siblings, I am sure of it! Maybe we here on Panfu can help them fulfil their big dream. If we light a rocket every day, Pingoo’s family won’t lose sight of us. Oh dear! Imagine they hadn’t seen the rockets and had just continued on, sailing further and further away… Look, you can even already see them on the horizon! I am so glad that we could lure little Pingoo’s family in the direction of Panfu with our rockets. But all Pandas have to help out there! Go and visit Pingoo at the Caribbean Beach, so he can tell you about his idea and keep your fingers crossed – hopefully, Pingoo and his family will be reunited soon! He also had a great idea about finding his family. He told us everything about his boat accident. Needing to do something, Ella gave him a cool box, so he’d feel more comfortable.įive minutes later, the box was full of Pingoo’s frozen tears, which made us even sadder. We really didn’t know how to console him. Pingoo lost his five siblings when he fell off the boat! That is bound to be a big shock for him! He is totally desperate and doesn’t know if he will ever see them again. The poor fella is crying so bitterly that his whole body shakes from it. Pingoo arrived at the Caribbean Beach!! He’s feeling dreadful. Shortly after that he jumped up off his bench and yelled “There he is! Pingoo is alive!!! And he is swimming towards Panfu”. A tear rolled down his cheek and he brushed it off, saying “This coastal wind always makes my eyes water”. Ella and I looked at the floor, while Horst Hering clung to his binoculars and looked for Pingoo. Then he said in an unusually small voice: “My glass eyes just can’t detect him…” Nobody dared to say anything for a whole 3 minutes. In a shaky voice I asked him: “And what happened to Pingoo?” Horst Hering swallowed audibly. Then he was silent, looking through his binoculars. At that point, a big wave came and…splash! The little penguin fell into the water, beak first! And the boat? It just continued on its way!” Just now, a penguin leaned over the side of the boat. „What am I seeing? One, two, three, four, five, SIX penguins in a tiny sail boat! And then those waves. Of course we don’t want to keep from you what Horst Hering saw through his binoculars yesterday. |
