Welcome to the Penetration Testing Execution Standard homepage. This will be the ultimate home for the penetration testing execution standard.
For more information on what this standard is, please visit:
High Level Organization of the Standard
- Note: This is the ALPHA RELEASE. We have had TONS of interest from many members of the security community to help out and we wanted to show where we were at. This effort has been going on since November 2010 and has had over 1800 revisions. The links below are a basic view into where we are at today. As you will notice, the map has some branches that are not fully expanded as well as some basic information left out.
What we are looking for out of this release:
-Gain help from people who understand the direction of the map and will be willing to document the methods used to carry out the tasks identified in the branches
-Take feedback and comments form the community on improvements
-Identify a timeline for the full standard creation
-Create teams to tackle writing our the formal standard
-Create tools to address the gaps identified during the creation of the Standard
-And most of all, put an end to the poorly defined term Penetration Test!
Not all of these sections will survive the cuts after this round and there are many changes to come:
-Added Content -Weighting system -Grading Structure -Sample contracts -Sample deliverables -PTES Adaptive Strength questionnaire -tons more...
Hope you enjoy... -Nickerson
Following are the main sections defined by the standard as the basis for penetration testing execution:
- Pre-engagement Interactions
- Intelligence Gathering
- Threat Modeling
- Vulnerability Analysis
- Exploitation
- Post Exploitation
- Reporting
Below is the Penetration Testing Execution Standard Guidelines:

After leaving the Maceo Parker gig last Wednesday, buzzing from the amazing energy he and his band brought to the Corner Hotel, I discovered that there was about to be an announcement concerning an upcoming Prince tour down under!
|Prince W2 Australia Tour
Oh, yeah, and work. There's that, somewhere in there, too ;)
So that's where things are at for me right now. At one stage I was so busy going to live music gigs (not to mention comedy gigs, being that we've been in the midst of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival down here this month as well), that I was not finding time to write about them.
But that will all change shortly and I'll share my thoughts on these amazing gigs later this week, as we get ready for what is shaping up to be an extraordinary May here in Australia for live music.

Although the Honda scored the lowest in the test drive, it was never far behind in any category. In fact, one regular test driver said this Honda with its new power steering is the most improved of the bunch of ATVs.
"It was a very comfortable machine to ride," Jeff Ryan said. "In the past, it had a big tear shape to the gas tank and it was tough on the legs to straddle it. But ergonomically, this model was a vastly superior machine."
The drivers praised the FourTrax Foreman's power steering. "The power steering on the Honda was really good in the barrels," Pete Bakken said. "It really flowed."
The drivers did find some problems with the vehicle. Scott Veenker said he thought the Honda is rough riding and the ground clearance at 7.5 in. is not good.
The manual transmission also seemed to be a drawback in this test. "The Honda was more of a workhorse," explained Paul Gervais. "It has that Honda durability with manual transmission, which in one way is good and in another, I don't like to shift gears. The ride was good on it; it just lacked a little ground clearance. And my gut feeling is this vehicle may need the least maintenance of all the vehicles. I really liked the power steering."
The reverse gear gave fits to drivers who were unfamiliar with Honda's shifting patterns. "I don't like the procedure going into reverse," Abe Hodgen said. "It could be that I've not been around a Honda. But everyone else here is standardized on a side gearshift lever and Honda is not. But I liked the balance and handling of the vehicle."
The drivers praised the Foreman's engine braking and low-end torque with a load.
Most drivers said they wouldn't hesitate to buy a Honda, especially with the power steering. They considered it a real workhorse with low maintenance. But many didn't care for the manual transmission and its cumbersome three-step reverse process, and low ground clearance.

Birthday Bouchées
Life is totally crazy right now, up early, to bed late and not a minute's rest in between most days. Even the weekend means running around. I long for a Sunday in pajamas with a good book in my hands or in front of some mind-numbing, silly television show.
This weekend was my birthday and a friend and I had a joint birthday party. One of the best things about it was that we both love to cook and got to make only food we really love to eat. We stuck to finger food that people would be able to eat easily standing up and chatting, like these fancy cheese balls, savory cakes like this cake au thon, made in little individual portions, sushi rolls, mini-sandwiches and lots of veggies and dip like my hummus and Camille's Bacon and Onion Dip. People brought drinks but we also tried out this recipe for White Tea Sangria from that amazing Elle's New England Kitchen.
All and all a good time was had by all, except possibly the cats who hid under the bed the whole time. But they made up for it by being extra cute and affectionate for the rest of the weekend.

I guess I always had the vague notion that designing books essentially came down to the 100 Scope Notes method of creating your own debut YA cover (with final results here). Then Abby (the) Librarian linked to this video showing how they created the cover for the book Blameless (which, with its one namer title, fits into the 100 Scope Notes method pretty well anyway). Informative.
Good music too.
Speaking of music, let's talk about how necessary it can be in a book trailer. I mean, you could go the easy route and just lift some free use tunes from GarageBand. I'm not saying you couldn't. But there's such a difference between doing that and tapping a local band for their tuneage. Example A: Erica Perl's book trailer for Vintage Veronica:
See what I mean?
I justify this next one by pointing out that it contains a library dance sequence. Not off-topic then.
And on the off-topic side of things, another music video. This one is more of a Rube Goldberg device OK GO video. I don't remember who said it, but someone on Twitter commented (perhaps it was Ron Hogan) that they couldn't understand why any other band even bothers making music videos when OK GO is so darned good at them. Case in point:

As of now, Issei has more redeeming factors than this guy though.
I mean both of them have the "wouldn't hurt a fly" shtick down, but this guy (I keep forgetting his name) is much more shameless.
Which is amusing. Which, as I said, is the reason I'll keep watching.

I gave this one a try and saw the first 2 eps. The first one got me interested due to the nature of the MC. Then, episode two almost got me stop caring for this series. Maybe its not the overall story, but the execution of the 2nd episode is rather lame. That enemy girl is as generic as it can get (If you plan on double crossing someone, surely theres a lot of better ways than to execute a single little-trap and reveal your evil intention openly to your target afterwards ). Yeah, I know that this is a comedy but still . My take on this is that this one will be a generic ecchi-romance-fantasy ala Zero no Tsukaima sequels and a less serious version of Shakugan no Shana.
Ill give the 3rd episode a chance, and if that doesnt pick my interest, Ill drop this and stay with Yuusha Aesthetica instead.

They both are stereotypical super good guys;
They both have powers/abilities that revolve around being perverts;
They both have supernatural hot red-haired girls as partners/bosses;
They both have unnatural ability to attract and build a harem;
Even they reactions to most things are similar. You'd have to be blind and deaf to not notice the similarities, but of course, not liking Issei could contribute to this...

1 They both are ultimate over-the-top perverts;
thats correct but can be said for most ecchi series
2 They both are stereotypical super good guys
same as my remark from 1
3 They both have powers/abilities that revolve around being perverts;
DxD only watching the anime not reading the LnHis powers comes from being a demon and using them in perverted ways
This one his own pervertedness converts to power for Risara useage
4 They both have supernatural hot red-haired girls as partners/bosses;
ok thats kind of like saying Ash try and I are alike cause we both have brunette girlfriends? in reality i do at least
5 They both have unnatural ability to attract and build a harem;
same as 1-2 or any anime/ln/manga series =D
if i had to compare him to anyone it would be taro from MM
but still in reality male leads in ecchi series resolves around a few personalities
so i still fail to see how they are alike

One uses his powers in perverted ways and another uses his pervertedness as a source of energy...either way their powers/abilities (some) are based around their perverted nature.
Look, all I'm saying is that when I look at this MC I'm reminded of Issei because of these reasons and his mannerisms...you obviously are not. I made a comparison between him and a character I find to be similar...so what? I fail to see what the whole issue here is.
And...you'll bite? It's funny because this all started just because you insulted a character you don't like but other people may and I called you on it.

your point of view shows your inexperience on watching anime =D
but in this case going in small details they are nothing alike
lets compare 5 male Mc leads in small and big details for your list of 5 details
Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai
Highschool DxD
Infinite Stratos
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?
1 They both are ultimate over-the-top perverts;
Kaga,Issei,Ayumu and Taro fits this one watching the series can prove that point
2 They both are stereotypical super good guys
All 5 will fit this one
3 They both have powers/abilities that revolve around being perverts;
4-5 fits this
Kaga Pervertedness converts to power
Issei uses his devil/demon powers to create pervy desires
Ayumu is a cross dressing magical girl zombie killing machine enough said
Taro turns into super MM the most awesome super power perv in anime Henti-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah remember that?
4 They both have supernatural hot red-haired girls as partners/bosses;
Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai
Kaga =Lisara
Highschool DxD
Issei =Rias
Infinite Stratos
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?
Ayumu = NeNe
5 They both have unnatural ability to attract and build a harem;
Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai
i dont see a harem formed right now but its in progress
Highschool DxD
his harem is mostly rias and Asia and maybe Ravel other then that everyone treats him as a tool/kid
Infinite Stratos
im not going to lie im still a little clueless on how this happened but good things happens to idiots
best quote of the anime i remember
ill go on a date with you houki replies really? back to Ichika shopping that is then he gets kicked
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?
This Harem is indeed strong but hes building it himself unintentionally by acting like hiself
his Harem resolves around mainly jealously and helping him overcome his masochist
and with that being said i guess u could relate all 5 of them into being the same in many ways but in reality the small details of all 5 are nothing alike want me to add more series and Male Mc's?

I don't see how bringing up other main characters with commonalities refutes someone's personal impression that one character reminds them of another?
It's not like it's an objective assertion about which two characters are the most similar.

oh i forgot to post about this on all 5 male mc's picture 1 female this is how the Males would react
Kaga would be groping the breast
Issei would be hiding in a bush peaking
Ichika would be looking the other way and not noticing say female
Ayumu would be standing there and the female would strip and nose bleeds will occur
Taro would be below the say female getting stepped on

Hey now... you are forgetting the most important differentiating factor here... which ones are pretentious and ignorant cowards... I say Issei@DxD, Ichika@IS qualify... on the other hand, Tarou@MM, Ayumu@KoreZon, and this one are very much self-aware and try not to inconvenience those in their surrounding, while honestly expressing themselves whenever possible.
Superficially, they might appear similar, but on a second read into their behavior and particularly their motivation is quite different... or at least that's the way I see them.

Or did the Gods of Anime grace you with the only correct view point?
Yes, most of things you've said about all 5 characters are correct, yet I wasn't reminded of them when I watched this series, I was reminded of Issei...
To me they are similar, they all share similarities but to me, in my eyes, Kaga resembles Issei in his mannerism and actions.
It's all about view points, I understand how you can't understand my linking of Kaga to Issei much like I can't understand how you cannot see it. So why are we even fighting over this?
This wasn't even why the discussion started originally funny enough xD
And AmeNoJaku...in what way is Issei an "ignorant Coward"

Coward because he always repels the girls that are interested in him and ignorant because he fails to realize in the first place who are.
As I said in ecchi shows, there are characters that act self-aware of what they are doing, and kids who don't... whether each of us likes or dislikes one or the other, it's a matter of personal taste.

I heard a lot about this series (the manga) and I guess I was expecting it to be something else.
The ecchi is certainly enough for a series...unfortunately for me Lisara's archetype kinda counters the ecchi. Guess I'm the kind of guy that isn't satisfied with ecchi if it comes from a character with a personality that annoys me. This happens in every anime with a MC with her personality though...
But I don't know about the coward part...the way you explain it, it certainly fits Ichika but Issei, not so much.

ARCHEOSTORIE Journal of Public Archaeology is the open access peer-reviewed scientific journal that provides Italy with an arena to discuss issues such as the management and communication of archaeological heritage and, more widely, the role of archaeology into contemporary society. It produces insightful analyses on significant initiatives aimed at involving the public in archaeological and heritage issues, and bridging the gap between our past and modernity.
Despite the continuing growth of Public Archaeology as a field of studies, the Italian interpretation of the subject is still heavily under-investigated. As it was observed by Chiara Bonacchi (Public Archaeology, Vol. 12 No. 3, August 2013, 211–16 2009):
"This area is now beginning to be understood as concerned with the preservation, communication and public use of archaeology. However, the path towards a clearer definition of Archeologia Pubblica as a formal area of teaching and research requires further and more focused scrutiny if Public Archaeology is to become a way for Italian archaeologists to demonstrate public value and fight the consequences of the economic (and social) crisis we are experiencing."ARCHEOSTORIE aims to fill this gap encouraging academic debate on Public Archaeology in Italy and promoting and coordinating related activities.
AJPA - Volume 1February 2017The core of Archeostorie. Journal of Public Archaeology consists of a Topic of the year section with papers that analyze a specific subject from several points of view, and a Satura Lanx section with papers beyond the main theme.
A News and Reviews section following the scientific papers provides readers with first-hand reportages and analyses of important events of the year. We also collect selected archaeological works of fiction in the Archaeotales section, as we are convinced that storytelling is a powerful way of involving people in the love and appreciation of our past. But let's examine each section in depth.
Our choice for our first Topic of the year was Small but kind of mighty. Needless to say, we hope it to be auspicious for the Journal's future. In fact, successful projects generally 'start small,' but are conceived by people who 'think big.' Even if they are actually 'small,' they can have an enormous impact on the community they grow in, or even on society at large. They may choose either to stay small or to grow, but in both cases they prove to be influential and powerful.
We looked for good small public archaeology projects whose powerful impact on society was clearly described and analyzed but, above all, measured. In short, we challenged archaeologists to evaluate their public outreach activities in depth. We are proud of the result and we consider it a first significant step towards the establishment in Italy of public archaeology as an accurate and stringent practice.

The goal of long term care insurance is to help protect retirement investment portfolios from being exposed to the high costs of needing long term health care. The clients that purchase long term care insurance are typically financially successful, and independent.
The company will be working with consumers nationwide, most of whom will be initially attempting to find out what long term care insurance costs and if it makes sense for consideration.

We want the consumer to understand that we are a one stop shop, and we can simplify the buying process for the consumer by immediately providing comparison pricing of each and every insurance company.
The logo will be used on a quote request landing page. We wish for the logo to convey a fast and easy process because the goal is to have the consumer complete the request form for its free quotes. We also wish for the logo to have a strong consultant image, because we wish to be trusted as much as the large insurance companies we represent. Attached are some logos of companies we work with to give you an idea of our marketplace.
Colors to consider: Dark Blue,
Colors to avoid-red,yellow,
I am open to the logo utilizing symbols, or solely the name of the company.
I do not wish the logo to look busy. It must be clean, but convey trust and ease of use. The demographic is a 55-60 year old married couple.
Hope this helps.

VANCOUVER — Henrik Sedin knows what's coming. It's hard to miss Jumbo Joe Thornton.
"I'm not saying I won't fight him," the Canucks captain said with a smile Tuesday. "We'll see."
The last time the Canucks faced the San Jose Sharks in the playoffs, Thornton made a declaration of war on the opening faceoff by offering to fight Ryan Kesler, who declined. The Canucks overcame the act of aggression that characterized a Sharks' team almost as tough as it was talented and won the National Hockey League third-round playoff series 4-1 in games.
But a lot has changed in two years and, especially, the last month for the Sharks.
They're not quite as tough nor as reliant on Thornton as they were.
With Game 1 of the teams' first-round series on Wednesday night, Kesler may be deployed to shut down sizzling centre Logan Couture, leaving Sedin to face Thornton head-to-head.
"We'll have to wait and see what happens," Thornton said when asked upon his arrival in Vancouver if he would make the same invitation to Sedin that he did to Kesler. "They obviously beat us two years ago. Or is it three years ago now? Two? Their team has changed a little bit and so has ours."
The Sharks have changed more.
Gone is a little of the size and a lot of toughness the Canucks had to cope with two years ago. Two of the biggest pieces, literally and figuratively, were winger Ryane Clowe and defenceman Douglas Murray, sold off a week apart before the NHL trading deadline on April 3.
Clowe and Murray were heart-and-soul players, the kind of springtime warriors teams try to add for the playoffs. The Canucks made a pitch for Clowe, who was traded instead to the New York Rangers. A week earlier, San Jose general manager Doug Wilson ransomed Murray to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Both players were in the final year of their contracts, so the moves were based on economics.
But the deals had the potential to puncture the heart of the Sharks.
Instead, remarkably, it made them better. They are less rugged, even with San Jose's acquisition of former Canucks' battering ram Raffi Torres, but quicker and more balanced after coach Todd McLellan remade his forward lines.
"Record-wise, we certainly have been (better)," veteran defenceman Dan Boyle said. "Stuff happens. We just started playing better as a team. (Brent Burns) going up front and Joe Pavelski getting his own line, it created a little more balance.
"We lost two physical guys. But we picked up Raffi. I just think maybe last year, if our top line didn't get it done, we weren't finding ways to win. The last 15 or 20 games, we've had three lines going or maybe four."
With the trade of Murray a turning point, the Sharks went 12-5-1 the last five weeks of the regular season.
"Quite frankly, our team blossomed after those moves," McLellan said. "And it's not because we lost those people. They were very important. But other people stepped their game up. We became a little quicker and played a certain way."
Pavelski centres the third line. The 6-foot-5 Burns was moved semi-permanently from defence on to Thornton's wing. Couture centres Patrick Marleau and Martin Havlat on the top line.
The Sharks' attack no longer revolves almost entirely around Thornton and Marleau, and that's a good thing because Thornton has just six points — all assists — in his last 12 games and Marleau only one goal in 16.
Once regarded as a player suited only for the regular season, Thornton's fierce play the last few playoffs has remade his image. But Marleau, who went pointless in the Sharks' five-game opening-round loss to the St. Louis Blues a year ago, still needs to address his.
"Anybody who doesn't have a ring on their finger has something to prove when it comes to playoffs," McLellan said. "That's not just the San Jose Sharks. And if you have one (ring), you want two. So Patty Marleau does have something to prove. So does the rest of our team. For us to have success, there's no doubt, talking about Joe and Patty, they have to perform the best that they can. But the other players, the way we play our team now with four lines, they all have to produce. We are a committee team. It's as simple as that."
But the Sharks are still identified with Thornton and Marleau, and the clock is ticking on the 33-year-olds to do something in the playoffs for a team that has left more on the post-season table than anyone in the NHL the last 10 years.
San Jose has been to three Western Conference finals since 2003, losing all of them, and last year's five-game exit from the Stanley Cup tournament was the quickest in franchise history.
"You're only as good as your last playoff series," Boyle said. "The reality is you only get certain chances. You're not going to play forever. And as a team, if you don't win, guys go. If we don't win or make a run at this thing, other guys are going to go."
Some are already gone.

What Happens to Ceilings When Carrollton Bathrooms Flood
With so many plumbing fixtures in a small space, bathrooms are notorious for leaking pipes, clogged drains and other issues that result in flooding.

What's more, the damage you may not see is happening much deeper, behind the walls, and in your sub floor. Even if your damage does not appear to be extensive, the leak or flood in your Carrollton bathroom may have actually seeped into your sub floor, causing problems such as floor joist warping or weakening or mold growth.

Not at all! It would be ghetto if you had let Harper lick all the frosting off before re-frosting them though! ;)
I'm that mean mom that threatens her kids with death if they touch my frosted cakes.. got that move from my grandma, but she was better at it because deep down inside I believed she would actually do it.
3 year olds are hard sometimes. They try to be good, but their curious nature usually sidetracks them into trouble. Kudos for snapping a picture .. I usually forget to document in the midst of kid disasters.

My friend got in a car accident with 50 cupcakes while on her way to a baby shower. She called me from the scene and said, "Make more frosting and bring it!"
I did, and we refrosted in my car and they looked flawless. Not ghetto. Besides, their kids!

You're gonna laugh about this.....SOMEDAY. I would totally re-frost or just buy them (go to Sams Club).
My niece, who has 3 kids, paid to have this beautiful fondant cake made, I was at her house, when the cake was delivered. When my niece was walking the cake lady out, she got this "deer in headlights" look about her, ran in the house, to find that her 3 year old took a HUGE (and I mean, HUGE) bite out of the center of the cake. I thought she was gonna flip....glad I was there to save the little guy. LOL. She laughs NOW.

Very sad, we needed him on our team.. but i understand and support this decision..
Published on September 1st, 2010
Published on September 1st, 2010
Ted Warren has resigned as chairman of the St. John's-Mount Pearl chapter of the MS Society of Canada over the national association's stand on a new, but controversial treatment.
Topics : MS Society of Canada.This , MS.The Canadian Institutes of Health Research , Canada , Newfoundland "I am writing to express my profound sense of disappointment with the MS Society of Canada's decision to oppose clinical trials of the so-called CCSVI therapy for treatment of multiple sclerosis. I believe this attempt to undermine the growing national consensus supporting the need for such large-scale trials does a serious disservice to the very group the society professes to serve, namely those who live each day with this condition," Warren wrote to Yves Savoie, president of the MS Society of Canada.
This province has said it will support national clinical trials of the treatment.
Top Canadian and American scientists now say there's not enough evidence to back claims by Italian Dr. Paolo Zamboni that blocked neck veins are linked with MS.
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research held a news conference Tuesday to make recommendations on MS research priorities. The head of the federal agency which funds health research said the experts weren't convinced Zamboni's procedure works and is safe, and so they say it's too early to back clinical trials.
"There was a unanimous recommendation by the members of the working group not to support such a trial at this stage," Alain Beaudet said.
"Quite simply, the experts agreed that there is an overwhelming lack of scientific evidence on the safety and efficacy of the procedure.
"Nor is there any evidence at this time that there is a link between venous malformations and/or impaired brain venous drainage and multiple sclerosis."
MS has long been thought to be an autoimmune disease. But Zamboni contends that iron builds up in the brain because blood isn't draining properly.
Warren said he's spent the last few months defending the society's "nuanced approach, first conducting basic research on the theory to gauge its validity, but the growing tide of anecdotal evidence from patients who have experienced dramatic improvements in their condition cannot be denied."
"For those of us who have to live with the the harsh reality of MS ... the mornings when you awake to discover that one or more of your senses has been compromised by something that happened while you slept ... the days when you find you can no longer do the things that define you as a person ... the nights when you lie awake in terror, fearing how much more of yourself might be lost before the next dawn breaks ... for us, the personal accounts of recovery and return to the way things were before MS represent more than just compelling stories. They represent that all-too-rare opportunity for hope that we, too, can look to a better tomorrow. And that hope, in itself, is a powerful medicine," Warren said in his resignation letter.
"I've watched the sheer delight in the faces of MS patients when they see a person who went from barely walking to building rock walls after receiving CCSVI treatment. I've shared their tears as we heard of a wife's first dance with a formerly disabled husband who has now returned to all the precious joys of a 'normal' life. And finally, I've watched those same faces contorted in anger because the organization that is supposed to be devoted to helping them is refusing to acknowledge the sense of urgency that comes from the cruel reality of life with a degenerative condition.
"This is not a uniquely Newfoundland phenomenon. There are groups of MS patients in every part of this country who have been quietly lobbying for all 10 provinces to step up and fund a universal clinical trial for all Canadians living with MS. By stubbornly resisting this groundswell, the society has placed itself in the position of actively opposing an initiative that is supported by the vast majority of Canadians living with MS. Surely, an untenable position for this organization to take.
"What is perhaps most disturbing about the society's stance in this matter is the lack of sensitivity it shows to the hopes and dreams of those who have the most to lose in this whole debate, namely individual MS patients. If there is any possibility that there might be an effective treatment out there, perhaps even one that can restore what has been lost, the MS Society should be doing everything in its power to make that treatment available to those who need it most at the earliest possible date. To do as the society has done this week and stand squarely in the way of this process is quite simply wrong.
"I urge you to reconsider this ill-advised, paternalistic policy before it is too late."

I got a Windows 8 computer about a month ago and up til now it has worked okay. Today when I turned it on, it won't boot. Basically the whole screen is just black with the blue bar along the bottom, and the two icons in the bottom right corner.The computer has been stuck at this point for about half an hour now and doesn't seem to want to load any further. Does anyone know what the problem is, and how (if) it can be fixed?
Like such issue happen to windows 8 is countless. When your computer won't boot one day, what should you do? Most people may choose ask some IT engineer for help. Do you know it, Windows 8 includes a recovery feature called Automatic Repair that attempts to automatically diagnose and fix common issues that may cause Windows 8 to not start properly. Automatic Repair will start automatically when Windows is unable to start properly. Once started, it will scan various settings, configuration options, and system files for corrupt files and settings. If it detects anything, it will automatically attempt to fix them for you. Here I will show how to automatically repair Windows 8 computer freezes using Automatic Repair.

This Car Runs on Thin Air!
by Nick D'Alto
Can noncombustion technology create a no-pollution way to drive? Imagine pulling into a service station to fuel up your car. But not at the gas pump or electric battery charger—at the air pump! That's not hot air, either! The next generation of cars may run on thin air. Wouldn't that be an incredible way to cut both pollution and dependence on foreign oil?
If you've ever inflated a balloon and then let it go, you've got the basics to test-drive the amazing MiniCAT, currently being developed by Moteur Développement International (MDI), headquartered in Luxembourg. Invented by Formula One racing car designer Guy Negre, this experimental vehicle is unlike any car you've ever seen. While your family's traditional sedan or SUV draws its horsepower using combustion (flammable gasoline explodes inside the engine's cylinders), the only fuel that MiniCAT needs (CAT stands for Compressed Air Technology) is the air we breathe.
Start with about 25,000 gallons of air (enough air to fill a small house). Now, squash it all into a space smaller than your school locker—because that's the size of two super-strong, high-pressure air tanks, custom-fabricated from exotic, spun-carbon fiber and mounted beneath the air car.
Talk about a tight squeeze! Confining that much air inside those little tanks (it's done using special compressors) generates an internal pressure of over 4,000 pounds per square inch. That's over 300 times normal air pressure.
When this cold, high-pressure air enters MiniCAT's unique, multichambered engine, it interacts with warmer air to create pressure waves that pump the engine's ingeniously engineered pistons to propel the car. MiniCAT's projected top speed is 60 miles per hour, with a range of 120 miles on a full air supply.
And pollution? Traditional internal combustion engines spew out carbon monoxide and other poisonous hydrocarbons, producing smog that is dangerous to human health and greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. MiniCAT's only exhaust is air—filtered so that it's cleaner than the air we breathe. This negative contamination (called "minus pollution") marks a revolutionary advance. While driving an ordinary car increases pollution, driving a MiniCAT actually cleans the atmosphere. That's not just zero pollution—it's even better!
Because there's no fuel burned, this car's air-exhaust comes out cold—so cold, at minus 22 degrees F, that you can blow it inside the car to produce no-cost air conditioning! In fact, this car's advanced, four-cylinder engine runs so clean that it's lubricated using just three and a half cups of vegetable oil! (Like you'd put in a salad—just change it every 30,000 miles!) The air car engineers are also experimenting with Earth-friendly body panels made from natural hemp fiber and mounted on an aircraft-inspired aluminum chassis.
Are you ready to take a test drive?
With no combustion (explosions) in the engine's cylinders, MiniCAT's ride is extremely quiet. Need to slow down for a curve? MiniCAT's brakes reduce the car's speed—but they also refuel the car! Called "regenerative braking," this works by absorbing the energy of the car's forward motion to operate a pump that raises the pressure in the air tanks. That extra pressure later helps run the car. Stop at a red light, and the engine literally stops, too—another feature to conserve power. The really cool part is the engine's automatic and instantaneous restart when you step on the gas pedal.
When it's time to refuel, just pull into an air station—where in three minutes, via a high-pressure hose, your air tanks are refilled. At home, simply plug MiniCAT's onboard electric air compressor into an ordinary wall socket (like running a tire pump from your car's cigarette lighter). Projected cost to fill your tank? About two dollars—or 1.6 cents per mile.
When you leave the city, flipping a switch will turn MiniCAT into a standard gasoline car. That's because the MDI engine is an "ultra hybrid"; the same engine that "breathes" compressed air to run pollution-free in populated areas burns combustion fuels (gas, diesel, or liquefied natural gas) in rural places, where emissions are less of a problem.
So will your family's next car be air-powered? MDI debuted its vehicles at Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2000, offering an opportunity for the developing world to enter the Auto Age without the pollution of gasoline. A fleet of 40,000 compressed air taxicabs is already planned to replace gasoline-powered taxis in heavily polluted Mexico City. Instead of building huge auto factories (which create lots of pollution, too), MDI plans small regional plants to conserve land and labor use. Sites in cities from Paris to Tel Aviv are already in development.
Of course, this new technology has its critics. Some argue that air power really only moves pollution from one place to another, especially since the air stations used to refuel the cars run their compressors on energy derived from fossil fuels. Like many new technologies, air cars are still experimental, so they don't run perfectly yet—prompting other opponents to say about the air car, "Don't hold your breath!"
- piston:
- A solid cylinder or disk that fits snugly into a larger cylinder and moves under fluid pressure.
- How is the fuel used by a MiniCAT car's engine different from the fuel used by a traditional car's engine?
[anno: The MiniCAT car's engine uses compressed air for fuel. A traditional car uses gasoline.]
- Why is the fuel for a MiniCAT compressed into such a small space? How does this compression help to power the car? Think about the pressure waves mentioned in the article. Write a few sentences to explain your answer.
[anno: When the air for the MiniCAT is compressed into such a small space, the pressure of the air becomes much higher. When the high-pressure air is mixed with warmer air, pressure waves are created. These pressure waves are used to move the pistons of the car.]
- What is the difference between the emissions from a traditional car and the emissions from the MiniCAT?
[anno: The emissions from a traditional car include carbon monoxide and other toxins that contribute to smog. The emissions from the MiniCAT include air that has been filtered so that it is cleaner than regular air.]
- Does the use of MiniCAT eliminate the need for fossil fuels? Why or why not?
[anno: Answers may vary but could include that the use of MiniCAT does not eliminate the need for fossil fuels as the MiniCAT must be plugged into an electrical socket every so often. The electricity coming from the electrical socket may have been generated at a power plant that burns fossil fuels.]

Maurice RavelBiography
Though Maurice Ravel became closely associated with Paris, he was not actually born there. He was born on 7 March, 1875 in Ciboure, France (the heart of Basque country in southwestern France). He was the son of a Franco-Swiss engineer and a Basque mother. The family moved to Paris when he was 3 months old. He began his musical studies at the age of 7, and entered the Paris Conservatoire de Musique at 14.
He continued his studies under composer Gabriel Fauré in 1897.
Very much the "man about town" he became the darling of Parisian café society. He joined a group of like-minded young artists in Paris, whose regular meetings gave them the chance to discuss ideas and collaborate on projects.
As the nineteenth century gave way to the twentieth, Ravel (together with Debussy) created a style of music partly inspired by the Impressionist paintings of Claude Monet. As a result, France became one of the most exciting musical countries in the world.
Then, at about the same time that Debussy died in 1918, Ravel's own styles changed quite dramatically. His music became generally sparer in tone and more abstract in character, much closer to the neo-classical styles of Stravinsky and other composers of the period. Like them, Ravel used early jazz harmonies and rhythms to colour his musical works.Throughout his changing styles, however, Ravel remained a master of orchestral and piano writing, with a harmonic style, or musical language, instantly recognisable as his own.
Stravinsky once described Ravel as "the Swiss watchmaker" of music, because of Ravel's painstaking attention to detail. Ravel himself described a work of art as "a ripened conception where no detail has been left to chance". And so it was that he developed his own method of composing, which was central to his style. He perfected small, self-contained "blocks" of music, then assembled them into larger, more complex structures - much like the many moving parts of a watch. Thus it was that he earned Stravinsky's approval.
In 1921, the French government finally decided to recognise Ravel's achievements by awarding him the much-prized Légion d'Honneur. Unfortunately, the award was announced publicly before Ravel himself had been informed of the decision and he promptly declined to accept it. One honour he did accept, however, was an honorary doctorate from Oxford University in 1931.
Although Ravel travelled abroad in his youth, it was not until he was in his fifties that he ventured across the Atlantic. His four-month tour of the U.S. in 1928 was an enormous success: His numerous concerts and piano recitals received an enthusiastic reception, and he was introduced to celebrities from the worlds of art and show business (including George Gershwin, whose work he much admired). Ravel's trip across America must have been hard work, but in fact he found that it had one unexpected benefit: A long-time insomniac, he confessed that travelling on the long-distance overnight trains gave him the best night's sleep that he'd had since childhood.
Ravel began to show signs of neurological problems in 1927, and over the next few years he suffered from muscle problems and aphasia. He began to show signs of dementia, and a car crash in 1932 worsened those symptoms. Over the next few years, he lost all ability to communicate (either through speech, reading or writing). On 28 December, 1937, the man considered to be one of the most original and influential composers of the twentieth century died in Paris after an unsuccessful brain operation.

One of the most recognizable and beloved automotive mascots of all time is Rolls-Royce's famed Spirit of Ecstacy. Sculpted in 1911 by Mr. Charles Sykes and reportedly modeled after Ms. Eleanor Thornton, this symbol came to signify Rolls-Royce as much as the automaker's neoclassic Pantheon-inspired grille and double-R emblem, all of which are still seen on today's Rolls-Royce automobiles.
Oversized versions of the Spirit of Ecstacy were prominently featured in the most prestigious Rolls-Royce showrooms in the 1930s, where they complemented the originals adorning the cars' radiator caps.
English firm Priory Fine Arts is now offering their interpretation of the original Spirit of Ecstacy Showroom Sculpture, which they have carefully refined in details from the original that they based it upon. These sculptures, which stand more than 26 inches tall and weigh 39 pounds, are part of a limited edition series, and are available in bronze, silver-plated or gold-plated finishes (the latter two being available at extra cost).
By the way, if you'd like to check out one of the original showroom statues, the Classic Car Club of America Museum at Gilmore in Hickory Corners, Michigan, has one as part of its Mascot Collection, donated by Marvin Tamaroff (see "The Collectors," HCC #2). The Museum is open between May 1 and October 1, so plan your visit for next Spring.

Lionel Ainsworth has joined Aldershot on a two-month loan deal from npower League Two rivals Rotherham.
The versatile forward, 25, has recently returned to full fitness following a shoulder injury and will look to get back up to full speed while helping the Shots climb away from relegation danger in League Two.
The former Derby, Huddersfield and Shrewsbury man is subject to a recall clause after 28 days.
Shots boss Dean Holdsworth said: "Lionel is a very exciting player who I know from my days as assistant manager of Derby County.
"He can play down the middle or on either flank and can be a real threat who possesses great quality. He is an excellent addition to the squad."
But Rotherham boss Steve Evans is ruling out the prospect of any extended stay for Ainsworth at the EBB Stadium.
Evans added: "Lionel has gone to get some first-team competitive action and that really is the sole reason why I have sanctioned the loan deal, he certainly has a future with the Millers.
"The lad is now desperate to be playing and I have listened to his request for that to happen."
