What is one thing that has seen wars, opened gazillions of canned beans, corned beef, soup, bottled colas, and beer, and is now sitting prettily at the New York Museum of Art? Your guess is as good as mine. It's the ever faithful Swiss Army knife. The Soldier's Valet Forty-four years after the last armed conflict on Swiss territory, Karl Elsener designed the first prototype of the Swiss Army knife. This creative burst of genius was triggered by his indignation that the Swiss Army was issuing German-made pocket knives to their soldiers. His first design had a cutting blade, can opener, a punch, and a screwdriver - the perfect mechanism for soldiers who had no time for an extra baggage. Five years...

Many people who enjoy general aviation will have taken a camera up and happily snapped away to take advantage of some alternative views which would not have otherwise been possible This type of aerial photography perfectly legal and can provide some fantastic images in the right conditions. However, when selling the images or taking a professional photographer with you who will sell the images this becomes commercial aerial photography and there are many considerations which must be taken into account. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) considers these just some of the important questions you should ask yourself before undertaking any flight: Why are you taking pictures? Is...

Leonardo da Vinci created on paper, at least with the first helicopter, and the very first piloted helicopter was invented by Paul Cornu in 1907, however, this design was not successful. Another Frenchman, Etienne Oehmichen built and flew a helicopter 1 kilometer in 1924. An early practical helicopter that flew for a decent distance was the German Focke-Wulf Fw 61 invented by an unknown inventor. ( Igor Sikorsky is considered to be the "father" of helicopters not because he invented the first. He is called that because he invented the first successful helicopter, upon which future designs were based. So where when did the RC model helicopter begin? Well I do not know who is credited with the...

Ask a bunch of aspiring magazine writers what editors are looking for when they read article queries and I'll bet most of them answer, "good article ideas." Well, sort of. What editors most want to find in queries are good article ideas from writers who have an appealing edge over other writers. Contrary to what most beginning freelancers think, that edge need not be writing talent. A good many other qualities, some of which don't show up in a query, make a writer valuable to an editor. Ever hopeful yet skeptical, editors read queries for evidence that a writer not only has a relevant article idea but also one or more of the following qualities: 1. Research ability. Writers who can turn up little...

The death of five people in an aircraft crash in northern Angola has refocused attention on Africa's poor aviation safety record. VOA's Delia Robertson reports from our southern Africa bureau in Johannesburg.

Reports say the flight recorder, which will be central to the official investigation into the accident, has been sent to Luanda. Reports say the aircraft struck a small house next to the runway as it was coming in for a landing, and the aircraft's landing gear then appeared to give way on...

Insurance involves transferring a risk that you bare, onto an insurance company, so that you no longer have to worry about the event occurring. While you pay a fee, or premium for this, what you get in return is peace of mind. So what is the risk that you are transferring with life insurance? Well, quite simply, it is the financial risk of your own death. It should also be remembered that it is in certain circumstances possible to insure the life of another person, such as your husband or wife, or an important employee. The insurance company will then pay out to the named beneficiary once the event occurs, and this is usually a family member or business associate of the insured. The thing that...

One of a plethora of animated Christmas classics created in the 1960's - A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) and How The Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) come to mind - this rendition of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is unique in that it uses stop-motion animation instead of cartoons to tell its story. Voiced by Burl Ives, Sam the Snowman brilliantly narrates the tale of an awkward reindeer and his firsthand struggle with discrimination. Along the way, Ives sings a number of holiday classics such as "Silver and Gold," "Holly Jolly Christmas," and of course, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". Our story begins when Rudolph's father, Donner, tries to cover up his newborn son's shiny, bright red nose with a...

Avionics is an exciting field. When you have watched movies where they show the cockpit, you must have noticed the large number of controls and displays. That is what Avionics is all about. Avionics is a contraction of the two words Aviation and Electronics. Formerly Avionics was all about military application; in the 40's most of the operating systems which were involved in aircrafts were either mechanical, electric, radio-frequency based, or magnetic in nature, and the subsequent invention of radar in detecting enemy planes during World War II ushered in the development of a whole new category of electronic navigational devices. As the vacuum tubes gave way to integrated circuits, the field of...

It is not impossible to get any flight last minute tickets, but you might have to make some compromises to avail of them. If you have not been thoughtful enough to book early on, or if some circumstances have created an urgent travel for you, then you might need to rely on last minute tickets. It is a fact that it makes better sense to book tickets in advance. There are many advantages of such prior bookings. First and foremost, you can get flights and seats of your choice. You will be able to land at a time chosen by you, and not by the airline, since the choice of flight will be in your hands. And, most importantly, you will be able to buy at the listed rate of the tickets. However, it should not...

Most people do not consider flying in a private jet as practical and efficient, on the other hand, the extravagant costs of these mini jets do not seem to dither most business travelers and any other flyer who is ready to plunk down over a million dollars per year for a hassle free, quick fly. Over the time, it has been observed that in spite of whatever the statistics have to say, owning or partly owning or even just flying in a private business jet or a company owned jet has been the in thing to do. When compared to commercial airlines, most people cannot compare the advantages and disadvantages numbers wise. The numbers just don't add up. However, for most busy executives and CEOs, the numbers...

Sometimes it cannot be avoided, taking a child under two on a plane for an emergency trip. Perhaps you have heard (or even experienced) horror stories of being trapped on a plane for two hours while a baby screeched the entire time. Maybe, too, you were the person who sat next to the harried mother as she tried to soothe her squirming infant. To be the harbringer of such misery is not a welcome prospect. However, a plane trip with a toddler or infant need not be a harrowing experience, for the mother or other passengers. By taking precaution and taking care of your child, you can arrange for an easy ride. Have the child's birth certificate ready: Though you don't need to purchase a ticket for a...

There are numerous pilot training programs available at most aviation supplies stores, software programs for more accuracy so people who want to learn flight basics can do it from the comfort of their own home. However, many students prefer being enrolled in formal pilot schools, and even complete a career in aviation to fulfill their dreams. From accelerated flight training schools, to traditional pilot academies, choosing a flight training school only requires your will to enroll and attend on-site classes. Whenever you see a flight course announced at an aircraft supplies warehouse, or promoted through an aviation magazine it would be best to learn more about them before making a decision since...

Air traveling can be an exciting experience for many but it does have its own challenges and risks. Moreover, the aircraft ambience and different factors associated with air traveling can cause anxiety among the passengers. The article throws a light on a number of safety issues thereby helping you to make your trip safer. Most accidents generally take place during the take off and landing phase of flight.

Seatbelts are the best protection against a crash or collision. They hold you in place in so preventing your body and head from...

From 1990 to 2004 Palazzo Fabroni, building of the 18th century in the heart of Pistoia (Tuscany - Italy), had an important role in the planning of exhibitions of both Italian and international artists, like Roberto Barni, Enrico Castellani, Giuseppe Chiari, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Giuseppe Uncini. After few years of works of renovation, from 2004 to 2007, Palazzo Fabroni has now reopened and houses the exhibition of Claudio Parmiggiani, supervised by the art historian Jean Clair; the exhibition goes over the artist's International experiences and represents one of his highest achievements. Many and meaningful have been the intuitions which, from the mid 60s, have...

Time for some training! So, you are not sure what type of training you will need or how it compares to the commercial side of aviation. For starters, there are some very big differences. Please be aware that the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) do not require that a flight attendant be assigned to an aircraft with fewer than 20 seats onboard. With that being said, it is a good idea -- regardless of federal regulations -- for the person who is in charge of the cabin area to have adequate training. There are quite a number of programs out there that train or claim to train business flight attendants. Some programs are excellent while others are awful. Caveat emptor -- let the buyer beware -- is the...

Many passengers have so far travelled by using cheap one way flights and have then booked a second ticket for another trip. But, what feeling do they have about them? Do they recommend them? At first, the proposal of getting a cheap one way flight was viewed with suspicion but after more and more people experienced this kind of trip it was finally accepted and recommended. Of course, it is not the same as travelling first class. To some extend, this type of flights may lead you to think carefully about them as they have some disadvantages, such as not enjoying the same benefits a first-class passenger has. Obviously, modern travellers are currently choosing cheap one way flights because of the...

Experts are striving to make us understand how important it is to use the oil and gas responsibly and how important they are in our lives. The thing we should be the most aware of is that these resources are limited, and this is why the experts are trying to find alternative fuels. While the automobile industry already has cars running on alternative fuels, most of the cars use oil and gas. People use diesel oil, gas oil, or liquefied gas. The vehicles that use liquefied gas have their cars adapted. As in the case of natural gas, the fuel oil undergoes a process before its consumers can use it. Because of the different kinds of fuel oils, countries have different classifications about it. The fuel...

Back in 1992, after I had been flight instructing for a few years, I was in the local FBO's office where I worked. I was waiting for one of my students to come back from a solo flight. When my student came in, he looked as though he had just seen a ghost. He was shaking and sweating I asked him what happened. The answer that I got was one that most flight instructors would not want to hear: "I was practicing stalls in the practice area, and all of a sudden I was upside down, and then just spinning toward the ground I didn't know what to do, but I heard your voice tell me to pull the power back and just let go of the control column, and the plane will stabilize." If you know anything about small...

Tempurpedic foam mattress are viscoelastic. That means the mattress was designed in such a way as to conform to the contours of your body. Compared with many other mattress which are usually too rigid and resist the contours of your body. Some mattresses on the other hand are too soft and don't offer support to your body when you are sleeping. Tempurpedic foam mattress also has the ability to return to its original shape and can provide better comfort and orthopedic support. In fact, tempurpedic was first invented by NASA intended to protect its astronauts during space flight. It was intended to ease the pressure off extreme G forces on astronauts during lift off although it never quite worked out...

Teachers are all at sea: despite a great deal of effort over the past 20 years, academic achievement among high school students continues to lag behind. In their attempt to improve school results, the educators are trying to find roots of poor academic achievement of high school students. Some point the finger at the outrageous homework loads students are snowed under. Supporters of this idea argue that students are overburdened with academic demands of questionable value and, as a result, end up indifferent to studies, exhausted, and worn out. Probably, there is some grain of truth in this claim. However, recent investigations have rebutted these suggestions... The recent Pew Research Centre poll...

Humans have been gazing at the skies, dreaming of leaving behind their earth-bound existences and joining the birds in a world which was, for most of our history, denied to us probably since the dawn of time. In almost all classic works, there are references to the desire to fly. The theme of flight as a dream has been used in thousands of poems and songs. In the 16th century, Leonardo da Vinci created a sketch of a machine which he believed would help humans achieve their quest to take to the skies. Well before his time, Leonardo Da Vinci's spirit was flying free, more than 300 years before powered flight was turned into reality by the Wright brothers -- themselves working from the platforms that...

This newsletter I thought we might look at some of the questions our fear of flying customers ask. Also, we would like to demonstrate how skilled our customers are at imagining disastor! As always, none of our newsletters are poking fun at you. One of the founders of this programme used to have a fear of flying so we know what we are talking about... One particular skill we have noticed that people with a fear of flying are able to do is to imagine their death in intricate detail. People on our fear of flying courses ask us things like the following: When we crash, how quickly do we die? Or When we crash, do our clothes come off? I am not poking fun at people with fear of flying phobias. It might...

If you love to travel and you love charging it to plastic even more, airline credit cards are definitely worth considering. Vacations, business trips, out of state, out of country, even off the continent flights will earn you airmiles. Airlines credit cards work by giving the cardholder a point for every dollar they spend or a certain amount of points for certain purchases. These points add up to airmiles, and these airmiles can then be used for flights to a destination of your choice. If you rack up enough airline miles by using your credit card, you can fly anywhere in the world completely free! Pay Your Balance Fully Airlines credit cards work the best for those who can pay their balances in full...
