![]() ![]() A study on Gryllus pennsylvanicus (the fall field cricket) indicated that females of this species tend to choose older males (chirp for shorter pulse periods) as mates more frequently than younger males (Judge 2011). Studies have shown that male crickets leading the calls - rather than because of a certain call length or pattern - are more attractive to female crickets. If several crickets are chirping at the same time, crickets will adjust the timing of the sounds produced. What kind of sound makes a more attractive mate? The same study noted that competing noises (from other male crickets and human sources) can impact the phonotaxis direction of female crickets. In an outdoor environment, an approximately 5-decibel dB difference in the male cricket’s chirp can make the difference in whether a female moves (or does not move) in his direction (Hiertenlehner and Romer 2014). Female crickets do not produce sounds but will walk or fly to singing males, following a behavioral pattern called “phonotaxis” (movement toward a sound). Pulse rate and the pattern of the pulses also differ between cricket species.īoth male and female crickets hear through ears that are located on their front legs. Each time the wings rub together, this is called a “pulse” and the pulse rate is impacted by factors such as temperature, e.g., faster rate during warmer temperatures. When this sound is being produced, the cricket’s wings are elevated. This is called “stridulation” and is used to attract female crickets as mates. ![]() Male crickets produce sounds by rubbing their leathery front wings together, i.e., file-like serrations on the wings’ edges rub against a sharp edge (scraper). For comparison, a car’s horn reaches about 110 decibels, and referee whistles can be approximately 115–125 decibels. For instance, in Gryllus bimaculatus (field cricket), the chirping sounds can reach up to 100 decibels, while Gryllotalpa vineae (mole cricket) chirps at about 88 decibels.

Both engines were paired to Eaton-Fuller manual or automated manual transmissions. All three configurations were shared with the Prostar (the regional-haul Transtar was offered with the day cab and 56-inch sleeper).Īt its 2009 launch, the Lonestar was offered with two engines: the Navistar-produced "Maxxforce 13" 12.4 L inline-6 (410-500 hp) and the Cummins ISX15 14.9 L inline-6 (525-600 hp). ![]() The series was introduced in three configurations: a day cab, 56-inch sleeper (low and high-roof), and 73-inch sleeper cab (high-roof and extended-roof).

In comparison to the 9000-series and similar trucks, the Lonestar was projected to increase its fuel economy by up to 15%. In line with the more contemporary design of the International Prostar, the exterior of the Lonestar was aerodynamically optimized. ![]() The final model of the NGV series to enter production, the Lonestar was developed in only 24 months from beginning to end following its initial development on computers and clay models, the company shifted directly to production (bypassing the assembly of traditional prototypes).

Through special order, the model line is also offered for certain vocational applications, including heavy-duty towing or dump truck use. Sharing its Next-Generation Vehicle (NGV) cab with the LT/ProStar, the Lonestar is a semitractor configured primarily for highway applications. Unveiled at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show, the Lonestar is the largest road vehicle ever introduced at the event. The flagship model line of the company, the LoneStar is marketed as its largest on-highway truck, slotted above the International LT (formerly the International ProStar).

Mercedes Romano? Why in the world would she be calling?

She kept her cell phone line private, only giving out the number for clients under contract. When Chloe was at the governor’s mansion, she had her calls forwarded from her apartment to this office. Just big enough to hold a small desk and chair. In an attempt to grab the still-ringing telephone, she dashed across the floor to the tiny anteroom. Orphanages and adoptions-anything to do with children-were the First Lady’s passion and life’s work, and Chloe often pitched in to help with fundraisers or visits to the children’s hospital. “This paperwork for the Romanian orphanage has to be done by tomorrow.” “Come back when you’re finished, darling,” Diana Romano said. Which she should apply directly to her hips. Harvey knew Chloe’s favorites were the pastries that boasted at least a thousand calories each. The governor’s mansion cook had brought brunch, including the homemade donuts. “Can we finish this conversation later, Mom?” she said, leaving the First Lady’s office while her mother pored over the details of a fundraising party scheduled in a few weeks.

No matter which warfare community they are a part of, Seamen can expect to perform lots of menial labor as they begin their initial training. If a sailor enters the Navy with a pre-determined rating, they will report to A-School straight after Basic Training. Once a sailor officially receives a rating, they need to report to "A-School" to receive basic training for their rate. At this point, the Division will mentor the sailor, who may "strike" for that rating. They may report directly to a ship and perform menial labor such as cooking and cleaning for several weeks or months until a Division decides to adopt them. If a Seaman is undesignated, then the first part of their career is spent seeking a rating. Rates can break down even further - for example, MM(W)s, where the W stands for Weapons, are Torpedomen and MM(N)s are Nuclear Machinist's Mates who serve on Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers or Submarines. So if the sailor is an E-1 Machinist Mate, then their full rate and rank is MMFR, or Machinist Mate Fireman Recruit. Such ratings fall into one of five broader categories: Seamen, Firemen, Constructionmen, Airmen, or Hospitalmen. Examples include Machinist's Mate (MM), Sonar Technician (ST), or Hospital Corpsman (HN). The full story comes from their "rate", or job specialty. ![]() Just knowing a sailor's rank, such as E-1, doesn't tell you much.
