Most other antivirus brands that include VPNs, such as Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac or Kaspersky Internet Security for Mac, limit usage to a few hundred megabytes per day unless you pay extra. Norton's Secure VPN will help protect your privacy when searching the web, and unlike many of its competitors, Norton gives you unlimited data usage on the VPN. ![]() Norton 360 Standard gives you quite a bit more than simple antivirus protection, including a number of helpful extra features that could perhaps save you from paying for additional services from other brands. Norton 360 Standard for Mac: Security and privacy features Norton 360's Mac performance is not tested by Austrian lab AV-Comparatives, so we can only go off of its performance with AV-Test. Norton is the only Mac antivirus brand that we reviewed that never fell below 100% detection and was part of every round of tests during that timeframe. This performance was completely expected for Norton 360 which has managed to detect 100% of malware threats in all of AV-Test's Mac evaluations since April of 2017. It also avoided any false positives, meaning all detections were accurate, but this was true of its competitors as well. ![]() In March and April, Norton detected more than 95% of Mac potentially unwanted applications (those pesky apps that get installed without your knowledge) and more than 70% of Windows malware present on a Mac. Intego and Kaspersky were not tested at this time, but detected 98.5% and 100% of Mac malware in their most recent AV-Test evaluations, respectively In this same round, Avast (100%), Bitdefender (100%), and Trend Micro (100%) matched the perfect performance of Norton 360. In order to determine the overall efficacy of Norton 360's malware scanning, we relied on the Germany-based AV-Test lab, which conducts regular evaluations of major antivirus apps and services.ĭuring the March-April 2021 round of testing by AV-Test, Norton 360 detected 100% of Mac malware. Norton 360 Standard for Mac: Antivirus performance These include webcam protection, a reputation database that helps improve speed by establishing trusted and reputable sources, behavior monitoring that looks for suspicious activities with your data, and finally Power Eraser and Norton Boot and Recovery which can both be used to rectify more serious malware infections. It's worth noting that while Norton 360 Standard has a single license covering macOS and Windows, the macOS version is missing a few of the more advanced antivirus protection methods that the Windows version has. Finally, the firewall will once again look at data leaving your Mac to ensure that it isn't being provided to an unintended source. From there, protection is passed off to the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), which more specifically looks at efforts to gain access to your Mac. Norton's first line of defense is its Smart Firewall, which monitors incoming network traffic and tries to screen out malicious content before it even makes it to your Mac. The service relies on artificial intelligence and machine learning to ensure that emergent malware, viruses, spyware or ransomware will be detected. Norton 360 Standard for Mac: Antivirus protectionįollowing the initial scan, Norton 360 will provide real-time protection from any new threats. ![]() Norton 360 Standard is also compatible with Windows (7 through 10), Android (6.0 and later) and iOS (current and previous two versions). At the time of this review, that included macOS 11 Big Sur, macOS 10.15 Catalina and macOS 10.14 Mojave. Norton 360 Standard is compatible with the current and previous two versions of macOS. Parents can monitor School Time and the regular parental controls from a Mac. School Time is an addition to the parental controls designed to allow remote-learning students scheduled access to specific categories of apps and websites without opening the entire internet to them. In addition to the Norton 360 Standard features, this bumps the online storage up to 50GB and adds monitoring of people-search sites for your data, plus parental controls and a new School Time feature for kids using Windows, Android or iOS. This allows you to install Norton 360 on up to five Windows, Mac, Android or iOS devices. If you need to cover additional devices, you'll have to buy up to Norton 360 Deluxe for $105 per year. ![]()

![]() ![]() I cleared the malfunction, and the gun kept running. After shot number four with the ammo, the malfunction occurred. However, I experienced a single stovepipe-type malfunction with the Liberty Ammunition. With 17 of the 18 loads, the SIG was 100% reliable. ![]() However, two – the Liberty Ammunition Civil Defense and the Team Never Quit – had light-for-caliber bullets: 50 and 100 grains respectively. The majority of the ammunition stuck to the standard bullet weights: 115, 124 and 147 grains. After that I dug into the other ammo – most of it hollow points of varying designs. I ran 100 rounds of Blazer Brass through the gun to get warmed up and see where the pistol was hitting. I wanted to know if this pistol could be depended on. Not all compact 1911 pistols are reliable, and a lot of companies seem to have problems making 9mm work in them. ReliabilityĪs you can see in the ammunition table above, I ran 18 different factory loads through this pistol. Modern hollow point designs are less dependent on velocity to expand, but velocity sill plays a role. All other things being equal, I prefer to have my 9mm defensive ammunition running at or above 1,100 fps. In my research and experience, velocities above 1,100 fps have a greater likelihood of ensuring reliable expansion after encountering clothing. Velocity is a tool ammo designers can use to ensure expansion. ![]() For me, these are excellent loads and crossing 1,100 fps is reassuring. Indeed, velocity for the various loads was lower than the same loads shot from other guns I’ve tested with longer barrels.Įven so, the Federal HST 124 gr +P and Winchester PDX1 Defender 124 gr +P loads exceeded 1,100 fps. Since this SIG pistol has a relatively short 3.3″ barrel, I expected to see correspondingly low velocity measurements. Like all ammunition, barrel length affects accuracy. All measurements are an average of five shots. Performance measured with a Competition Electronics ProChrono Digital Chronograph at an approximate distance of 15′ from the muzzle of the pistol. SIG SAUER Elite Performance V-Crown 147 gr JHP SIG SAUER Elite Performance V-Crown 124 gr JHP The fact that I am mentioning specific numbers should indicate how much I thought of this gun’s ability to place rounds on target. ![]() I don’t test guns from a Ransom Rest, which means that most of the group size comes from my skill (or lack thereof) as a shooter. I’ll give you my general impressions on accuracy and if anything jumps out as being particularly good or bad. Long time readers will attest to the fact that I don’t spend a lot of time talking about group sizes. Everything seemed to be running well, so I began checking to see what kind of accuracy I could get. I ran through some rounds to ensure the gun was working properly and tested both magazines. Todd, Gary and the guys have been a real pleasure to work with, and if you’re ever north of Tampa, I hope you drop in and check them out. The SIG arrived on a Thursday afternoon, and I headed out to shoot it the next morning. For the past year, I’ve had the luxury of shooting at an indoor pistol range that opened up near my office. Here are the specification on the SIG SAUER 1911 Ultra Compact: Model # However, for a gun that I would carry for self-defense, it doesn’t hurt anything to have it prepared for a low probability – but very real – situation. Granted, the likelihood of needing to run a gun one handed and manipulating the slide off of the rear sight is very low. While it has a nice look, it completely precludes its use when running the gun one-handed. One other thing I dislike about the sights is the front ramp on the rear sight. On a dark target, I had to rely on the dots to align the gun. The rear sight has a sharp notch that aligns nicely with he front sight to make a very clear sight picture on a light colored target. I also like the Trijicon HD Night Sights and Truglo TFO sights. XS Sights are well known for having a large, visible front sight. I much prefer to have a large, bright front sight with a rear sight that is more subdued in comparison. I just prefer other systems that in my experience tend to be more efficient. The three-dot arrangement can be visually confusing under stress, and tritium sights can be difficult to find in normal lighting conditions.ĭon’t get me wrong, three dot sights work. The tritium vials have a thin white outline to offer some visibility during daylight conditions.īy and large, I’m not a fan of the traditional three-dot sights and less of the typical tritium three-dot configurations. SIG uses a set of three-dot night sights on the pistol. I have to admit that the sights on this pistol are not my favorite, but I know many others will like them just fine. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the Virtual Assistant, we fed 10 years of workflows, troubleshooting, and technical advice into this machine learning/AI Assistant, and I threw the kitchen sink at it in testing. There isn't really any digging needed to go in and find what you need to scale, move, add, or adjust in your master layers of your production. The whole tool sits right in front of you. So, essentially, in the UI itself, as you're adding your camera sources or your visual sources, everything's here. You can look at each layer itself in the Shot Properties panel. In your preview live window, we use five master layers where you can add your logos, lower-thirds, PNGs, PSDs, obviously cameras, video playback-whatever you need to tell your story or for your live production. In the UI, you have a preview window and your live output, meaning that you can monitor your live output as you are looking over and composing or building out your next shot.

Coproducer (and veteran cinematographer of African landscapes) Sven Persson was able to obtain substantial tax breaks and material assistance from the government of South Africa, so the narrative was converted to a colonial dynamic. (A week and a few dead Blackfeet later, Colter staggered into a trading post, very much alive. Purified of character, traditional dramatics, and language, The Naked Prey has the blunt force of a campfire myth, but it began as an adaptation of the very true early-nineteenth-century escape of Lewis and Clark expeditioner John Colter from Blackfoot tribesmen, who killed his partner John Potts but let Colter, an iron-man trapper famous already for having traversed hundreds of winter miles alone exploring the West, run naked and be chased. ![]() What other fiftysomething star, in the days before ubiquitous bodybuilding, would have placed himself, largely naked, running hell-bent without dialogue through the sub-Saharan African bush? But as he aged, he became less content with showbiz atrophy and more adventurous with his reputation. As his star steadily waned through the fifties and early sixties, in the gradual and pleasingly nongerontophobic way careers used to linger into a middle-range actor’s menopausal years, Wilde did his fair share of the costume epics so popular during the nascent days of TV. Lewis’s The Big Combo) and directed his first film, the perfectly brisk and unexceptional Storm Fear. But walking through more than two dozen period adventures, noirs, and romances over the next decade, Wilde evidently began to chafe, and in 1955 he created his own production company (the flagship movie was Joseph H. From there, Hollywood beckoned, and in short order (with, in 1945, Charles Vidor’s A Song to Remember, for which Wilde caught an Oscar nomination, playing a particularly robust Frédéric Chopin) he graduated to buckleswashing leading-man status. He ended up being the fencing instructor for, as well as playing Tybalt in, the 1940 Laurence Olivier Broadway production of Romeo and Juliet. Olympic fencing team (in saber), opting out before the 1936 games to pursue theater. Here is the dry-eyed corrective to the darkest-Africa safari romance, the spear-fight-and-starvation bones beneath the chest-pounding adventure saga.īorn in Hungary, Wilde himself began as a man-of-action athlete, belonging to, but never competing with, the U.S. Indeed, the thrust of the film is Darwinian in its brutality, from the tribal executions (which include covering a safari hand in mud and then cooking him ceramic-hard over a fire) to the parade of veld atrocities-it was surely the first film in which we saw a tribesman casually step out of the carcass of a butchered elephant with an armful of innards and hang them over a campfire to dry. It may be the first entry in the “man in the wilderness” subgenre, as well as the first stripped-down American action film (prior to 1966, westerns and swashbucklers were ordinarily 80 percent talk, 20 percent combat at best). The film’s plot is as primitive as a hieroglyph: Wilde (identified only as “Man” in the credits), on a colonial-era ivory safari, is captured by a tribe of hunters after his fat-cat financier disgraces their expedition when the tribesmen decide to give Wilde’s character “the Chance of the Lion” and hunt him for sport, he kills their point man and keeps on running. It also has the least dialogue of any Hollywood movie since Modern Times and yet was nominated for a best original screenplay Oscar. ![]() Insofar as the movie is remembered at all, it remains the best known in Wilde’s lost filmography. In fact, had Fuller been a little less postmod hard-boiled and a little more dog-eat-dog athletic, he might have arrived at something as pulse-panicky, as pure and cruel and infernal, as The Naked Prey. Wilde remains an unexhumed artist-a scattershot brother to the delirious genre god Samuel Fuller-whose three best, though generally forgotten, films, The Naked Prey (1965), the World War II combat daydream Beach Red (1967), and the eco-sci-fi apocalypse No Blade of Grass (1970), make up an ersatz triptych of human self-hate at three evolutionary stages: primal, “civilized,” and postcivilized (it may very well have been Wilde’s point that there’s precious little difference between them). ![]() ![]() ![]() Gives fantastic images of the Moon, the rings of Saturn, Jupiter’s Red Spot, and more.Not only is this scope easy to set up and use, it’s informative and fun too – what could be better?

![]() He shared a bit of his coaching strategy with me and I was immediately impressed. Mike Fregeau has been a defensive coach at Bethel for over 16 years. Prior to heading back to the airport, I sat briefly with a member of Bethel’s football coaching staff. I wish everyone could have the chance to see what I saw on Monday I returned from Bethel with great optimism about the future, and with a few words of wisdom. Bethel is an amazing, energetic environment for Christian students, and their faculty is largely responsible. Students are hungry to dig deeper into the evidence and over 200 of those in attendance signed up for free downloadable Case Making materials before I even got off the stage. I challenged the student body to go the extra mile to learn why Christianity is true so they can better defend it once they leave the safety of Bethel. Campus Pastor Laurel Bunker invited me to teach as part of their Tru?tworthy Chapel series. Presbyterian’s next game is on October 8th against Morehead State.A few years back I spoke at Bethel University and had the chance to visit with several students and professors afterward. Even if that doesn’t come true, we will likely never again see a team in this sport win by 65 and lose by 72 in back-to-back games. It’s entirely possible that in 10 years we’ll be watching Kevin Kelley coaching in a 83-63 no-kick Super Bowl. Grinnell was regularly shooting 50+ three-pointers per game years before the Splash Bros changed the NBA. My point being, we could be witnessing the nascent days of the future of the sport. I’m reminded of the men’s basketball team at Grinnell College, where coach Dave Arseneault’s system resulted in games like a 179-104 win in 2012 where a Grinnell guard scored 138 points. I live for this unnecessarily messy team and their gaudy box scores. Who cares about a 2-2 FCS team?ĭear reader, I do.

One of the rarest sights in college football in 2021: A Presbyterian punt. Presbyterian never punted, never kicked a field goal, and only averaged 27 yards on their kickoff attempts, which are nearly always onside kicks. With only 38 completions in the game, 26 percent of his passes ended up in the end zone. Presbyterian won the game 84-43, with sophomore quarterback Ren Hefley setting an FCS record with 10 (yes, ten) touchdowns. Just one month into Presbyterian’s season it’s safe to say the Blue Hose are likely in the midst of the single most chaotic season a college football team has ever played.
