Elliot Pulham, The Space Foundation, Friday, 1-11-13
Guest: Elliot Pulham. Topics: The Space Foundation's White Paper, "Pioneering: Sustaining U.S. Leadership in Space." Please direct all comments and questions regarding Space Show programs/guest(s) to the Space Show blog, https://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments and questions should be relevant to the specific Space Show program. Written Transcripts of Space Show programs are a violation of our copyright and are not permitted without prior written consent, even if for your own use.

Space Show programs can be quoted, but the quote must be cited or referenced using the proper citation format. Contact The Space Show for further information. We welcomed back Elliot Pulham, CEO of The Space Foundation (www.spacefoundation.org) to discuss their new White Paper, "Pioneering: Sustaining U.S. Leadership in Space." You can download both the Executive Summary and the actual paper at www.spacefoundation.org/programs/research-and-analysis/pioneering. Our guest was with us for the first hour of the program. During our time with him, we discussed the Pioneering white paper, the reason for it, and its approach to sustaining U.S. space leadership. Mr. Pulham defined pioneering for us and when asked, we learned that it was broader and more inclusive than the more frequently used terms of settlement or colonization. We talked about why NASA needed a purpose, one that was clearly defined and articulated throughout the organization, plus the congressional and executive branches of government. We talked about basic NASA management improvements plus a host of strategic and tactical recommendations to improve our civil space policy and program. Listeners had many questions for our guest ranging from how reforms within NASA and our political systems would actually be implemented to needing general public support for Pioneering to become the NASA organizational purpose. Other issues that came up included how to transition from one year funding battles to long term project financing. The NewSpace segment came up as did space advocacy organizations with listeners asking if the advocacy proponents need to speak with a more unified voice than from their respective and often diverse positions. In the last few minutes of our discussion, I asked our guest for the implementation process. Here, we learned what the Space Foundation has been doing since going public with their policy proposals and their plans for continuing to push for the Pioneering purpose and program. We also talked about the role each of us can play in pursuing this type of seed change within NASA, Congress, and the Executive Branch to implement space policy changes for the better. We did return after the hour for a very short second segment in which I announced some date changes for programs given the start of my teaching my UND commercial space graduate class.
If you have comments/questions for Mr. Pulham about the Space Foundation White Paper, please post them on The Space Show blog URL above.


text: To deliver fast acting static neutralisation across a wide range of areas, SMC has launched two portable fan type ionizers. The new IZF21 and IZF31 can not only neutralise a greater surface area but they can be customised to suit individual customers' needs. SMC, the worldwide leading expert in pneumatics, has met market demand for a rapid response portable fan type ionizer with the launch of its IZF21 / IZF31 Series. The new products boast a range of design features that deliver greater flexibility across a number of applications, such as PET bottles, packaging films and moulded goods and offer easy maintenance. The IZF21 / IZF31 have been designed with flexibility in mind, offering customers the ability to remove dangerous levels of static across an even wider area in under a second and achieve an ion balance of ±5 V. And being compact and slim, just 40 mm thick, both ionizers can be mounted in narrow spaces. The smaller IZF21 can manage a flow rate up to 1.8 m³/min or achieve a 1.0 second discharge time, whilst the IZF31 can either neutralise static in 0.5 seconds or manage a flow rate up to 4.4 m³/min. An optional louver, which can be mounted vertically or horizontally, comes with five different angle settings for dispersing air, enabling customers to adjust the static neutralisation zone from a narrow to wide surface area. SMC said: "The IZF21 / IZF31 offer our customers outstanding performance when it comes to static removal and control, plus guaranteed durability. Initial feedback has been extremely positive and we're confident they will be a great addition to our existing range of ionizers." Key features include an averaging function that almost doubles the lifespan of the ionizers' emitters. Product durability and reliability are enhanced thanks to four LED indicators that trigger up to seven alarms and an optional automatic cleaning function, with cleaning arms and brushes, that helps reduce contamination of the emitters. A filter can also be added to prevent foreign matter entering the motor, minimising the risk of short-circuits between emitters, which are easily replaced without the need for additional tools. The performance and stability of the IZF21 / IZF31 are further enhanced thanks to an automatic balance adjustment function. It has a built-in sensor that achieves a stable offset and reduces the adjustment time by constant monitoring of the offset voltage. For more information on the IZF21 and IZF31 fan type ionizer, visit the SMC new product page: www.smc.eu. ENDS October 2015

Bibles, Study Guides, and Accessories
Deciding which bibles and bible references and bible commentaries to stock is an immense challenge. I attempt a historical and a critical approach. We begin with the Hebrew and Greek originals. We move through the significant translations chronologically: the Geneva (with its sharp and learned Calvinist notes), the King James (safer for its sponsor), the New Revised Standard, and the excellent harvest of translations in the late 20th Century -- the New International, the English Standard, and the Common English.
Our dictionaries and handbooks tend to be a little conservative, mostly because I am skeptical of the confidence and the imagination of modern liberal scholars. Two thousand years of brilliant minds have thought about and written about scriptures (longer and more in the case of the Hebrew scriptures), and the humble approach with that perspective is useful and wise. The best approach is to begin with the basics and go from there.
On a less controversial note, protect your treasure of wisdom with a book cover or tote. We have several designs with neat features.

I have heard of developers who work with code which is a complete mess because originally the code was quickly developed and the quality was not there in the first place.
Its always good to get maintainable, reusable code but I was wondering if it was best to sacrifice some of this due to time constraints. A common problem I come up against is over engineering something and wasting a lot of time. We all know in the real world due to time constraints its going to be very difficult to get near perfect code.
I was wondering if there was a general rule for getting good quality if there is not much development time? Do you find this a common problem in development balancing code quality and time?

As Texas Goes, So Goes The Planet
A version of this article appears in the March/April 2007 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
March 08, 2007
Green building is the core of one Texas realtor's practice.
Unknowingly, the architecture and building community is responsible for almost half of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions annually," says renowned solar architect Edward Mazria, whose speech draws the largest crowd in our U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) North Texas Chapter's two-year history. This November 2006 evening culminates a year of green building events. For 29 years I worked professionally for environmental advocacy organizations at all levels, and I haven't seen this many varied groups this motivated since the late 1970s.

DVD Mystery in the Sky
25 November 2010
In a world that is ever more infused with the blessings and challenges of technology, it is essential that everyone has at least some understanding of the basic principles of science. Citizen science projects involve amateurs to gather research data. This offers a unique opportunity for people to enrich their lives by participating in hands-on science.
The Citizen Sky project engages thousands of amateur astronomers world-wide to contribute their observations of a variable star in order to unveil its mysterious nature. There is nothing like such a hands-on experience to equip free-thinking people with the ability to make decisions that require a scientific understanding.
The documentary "Mystery in the Sky" about the Citizen Sky project was made so that many people may share in this experience. In this documentary the citizen scientists, project organizers and professional astronomers explain the importance of Citizen science and how amateur observations contribute to cutting edge scientific research.

vary depending on:
• The delivery address of your goods (your region)
• The delivery service you choose (such as next day delivery, economy delivery, etc.)
• The total weight of your order (delivery chargers are higher for heavier items)
• The total value of your order (for insurance purposes)
The total charge for delivery, along with all the different delivery options we are able to offer
for any particular order, will always be clearly displayed at the checkout. The information below
provides an overview of our delivery options and terms.
Next Day Delivery
Next day delivery is available on all orders where the following criteria have been met:
• The order is placed before 3pm (GMT) and all security checks have been completed
• Royal Mail Special Delivery or Courier Delivery Service is selected
• All items on the order are in stock and available for delivery
• Cleared funds have been received in full for the order total
• Delivery is to a UK mainland address
• Applies to next working day, excludes bank holidays and weekends
UK Delivery Options
A signature is required on delivery from someone at the specified address. All items must be
checked for damage before signing for the goods.
Detailed online tracking information is provided for courier deliveries, the tracking reference
number information is emailed to the customer following despatch. A number of different
couriers are used in order to obtain the most competitive delivery price including DHL, UPS and
APC Overnight.
International Delivery Options
A signature is required on delivery from someone at the specified address for Royal Mail signed
for items and all courier deliveries. All items must be checked for damage before signing for
the goods. Royal Mail deliveries are handed over to the national postal service in the
destination country for final delivery, e.g. Correos in Spain, La Poste in France, or the United
States Postal Service in the US. Some national postal services are more reliable than others,
and tracking information is only available up until the point at which the parcel leaves the UK.
If a national postal service is known to be unreliable, or if an item is required urgently, we
recommend using a courier shipping option instead.
Detailed online tracking information is provided for courier deliveries, the tracking reference
number information is emailed to the customer following despatch. A number of different
couriers are used in order to obtain the most competitive delivery price including DHL and UPS.
Failed Deliveries
For Royal Mail delivery options, if there is no one at the delivery address to accept the parcel, a
card should be left and the parcel can be collected from the local sorting office , or
alternatively a redelivery can be arranged. If delivery has been unsuccessful after
approximately 7 days, the parcel will be returned to Novavox.
For courier delivery options, if you are unavailable on the delivery date, the courier should
leave a calling card and take the parcel back to your local depot. The delivery should then be automatically attempted later the same day or the next day. If delivery is still unsuccessful
then your parcel will be held until you contact the courier to rearrange the delivery on a more
convenient day. If there's no one available to take delivery at the address specified you can
collect the parcel from your local depot, with 2 forms of identification. If delivery has been
unsuccessful after approximately 5 days and the courier has been unable to contact you, the
parcel will be returned to Novavox.
Redelivery of goods returned to Novavox will be chargeable at the appropriate rate. Wherever
possible we will contact you to ensure delivery is successful, however in the event of us not
being able to contact you we will hold returned goods until you have instructed us to re-deliver.
In the event of a refund being requested we require written notification by email fax or post.
Lost Items
Our couriers use robust tracking systems and provide detailed online tracking information. In
the unlikely event that an item is lost, this information will be made available via the detailed
online tracking information and a refund or a replacement will be provided as soon as we
receive official confirmation of the loss from the courier.
Royal Mail Recorded deliveries are only tracked at the point of delivery. In the event of non-
delivery Royal Mail investigations can only be initiated after 15 working days have elapsed
from the date of posting for UK deliveries, 20 days for European deliveries, and 25 days for the
rest of the world. For this reason we are unable to offer advanced replacements or refunds on
any items lost in transit using Royal Mail services. Royal Mail investigations into lost/damaged
deliveries can take up to 3 months, and we are unable to provide a refund or a replacement
until Royal Mail have completed their investigations. If these terms are not acceptable then we
recommend using a courier delivery option instead.
All deliveries are subject to clearance of funds and stock availability, this combined with the
third party nature of courier services means that, whilst we always try to keep to promised
delivery dates, occasionally goods may arrive late. Invariably this is to do with factors outside
of Novavox's control. For this reason we cannot offer guarantees on delivery dates or accept
any liability for losses as a result of late deliveries.
We endeavour to ensure that you receive your goods in pristine condition. If any items are
visibly damaged or missing on receipt, you must sign the carrier's delivery note accordingly
and inform us as soon as possible but no later than 48 hours after receiving the order. If your
items are faulty on arrival, you have 14 calendar days in which to inform us of the fault. Items
should be returned in their original packaging complete with all accessories and
documentation. Once we receive the returned item(s) we will send you out a replacement, or
provide you with a full refund if we do not have any replacements in stock. If there is a fault
with your product within 12 months from the date of delivery (or within the manufacturers
guarantee period if greater than 12 months) then you are entitled to a warranty repair. We test
returned items, and if a returned item is found not to be faulty by our technicians we will
return the item to you, in this instance you will be liable for the return carriage.
If you have simply changed your mind about any item ordered and you wish to return it, then
you can do so provided you inform us of your decision within 14 calendar days of receipt. The
item must not be used and must be 'as new' when returned to us. Once you've informed us
that you wish to return goods, you have 28 calendar days to do so, at your own expense. Once
the item is received at Novavox, we'll issue a full refund for the product via your original
payment method. Please note this policy has some limitations.
If you need to return an item to us for any reason then using a shipping method that provides
proof of delivery is recommended to ensure products are not lost in transit. If we do not receive an item that you have returned and you are unable to provide proof of delivery then
we will not be able to provide a refund or replacement. Before returning an item, please
contact us so that we can provide you with a Return Authorization Number (RMA). Items
should be returned to us within 28 days complete with all accessories and documentation and
if possible in their original packaging.
For full details of our delivery & return terms please see our Terms & Conditions.

First, man made the analogue clock. Then he made the digital clock. Then, just because he could, he made the funky cross between the two that looks like a digital clock but has moving mechanical parts like an analogue one.
Art Lebedev, the patron saint of cool concepts that will never be manufactured as real products, has applied his unique genius to the world of timekeeping. The result is Segmentus, a clock that uses swinging plastic segments to replicate LCD-style numbers.
OK, the numbers aren't always the easiest to read—this is particularly annoying for those of us who thought that digital clocks would always be a safe harbor in the confusing and often embarrassing world of analogue timekeeping—but, hey, it's art. Er, Art. [Art Lebedev via SlashGear]
