Calculating Impact of an object (small rock) on the front of a moving car
|Share this thread:
May3-12, 10:44 AM
Hey Guys,
I have a problem I am working on and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.
The problem:
I need to calculate a force to apply to a given area of the front of a vehicle in relaticely small collision / impact with both a stationary and possibly a small moving object the size roughly of a softball for volume.
The scenario:
A car is driving at any given speed and a rock is either a) stationary and hits the front bumper or under neath of the car. or b) is propelled from a car in front and accelerates backwards at a given speed and impacts the vehicle.
I basicallly need to calculate the force that object will have at the impact point.
vehicle speed = 80km/hr, 50miles / hr
vehicle weight = 3000lbs, 1360 kgs
object size (small rock size of a softball)
circumference of a regulation softball = 12" / 0.3048
Now given that the radius would be:
C = 2 pi * r
r = C / ( 2 *pi )
r = (0.3048 m) / (2 * pi)
r = (0.3048 m) / (6.28318)
r = 0.0485 m
Volume of the softball-sized rock
V = (4/3) * pi* (r^3)
V = (4/3) * pi * (0.0485 m)^3
V = (4/3) * pi* (1.142E-4 m^3)
V = 4.782E-4 m^3
Find the mass of the rock using density
m = (2,750 kg / m^3) * (4.782E-4 m^3)
m = 1.315 kg
Now two given scenarios:
1) the rock is not moving and the car is traveling at 50mph. What the impact firce of the rock be?
- here there would obviously be a few factors at play. a) impact upwards b) force of car pushing down c) side angle forces
- for simplicity sake lets assume the rock hits something underneath the car and there is an equal distribution of forces updward and downward acting here and no acceleration of the vehicle at the point of the impact over a given time....
2) second scenario the rock is moving towards the car we can assume at a speed of 50mph also.
Any thoughts on simplifying the above problem?
much appreciated!

The actual Force will depend upon how long the impact lasts (i.e. the force would be a lot less and last for longer if it hits a soft part and higher for a short time if it hits a hard part). What you can work out will be the Impulse, which is equal to the change in Momentum. Momentum is Mass times velocity and you can work out the initial and final momentum if you know the initial and final velocities. Velocities are all relative so if one car is following another at the same speed then it is only the velocity of the 'rock' relative to the cars that counts. For the rock to be propelled backwards from the car, it would need to be actively thrown, I should imagine. A rock, picked up by a tyre (pretty enormous tread pattern needed) would be thrown Upwards but not backwards, so the maximum impact speed would be no more than the actual speed of the target car.
Finding or estimating the actual force involved, even for a single impact, would be very difficult and would probably need experiments on similar steel panels with different projectiles. Thing is, you just can't tell how long the actual impact took.
Are you trying to reconstruct some actual incident with this calculation and to get some meaningful evidence / ammunition?
Your more complex scenario has too many unknown variables to give you anything useful, I think.

I am looking for a Force to start with in an impact scenario for penetration / damage results to a panel on the front of a car... like a bumper for instance... or an oil pan or something...
I just need a force that I can substantiate to a certain extent.... i.e. not just a number I picked.... for arguments sake I have done teh analysis a dozen times over using various values of force - I would like to pin point a collision 'type' so to speak in order to justify the analysis done of course.
I would argue that a stone driven over will have a number of angular velocities if caught on a tire tread and pitched out the back and will of course always have an upwards acceleration component to it and will vary in magnitude of course. however the same scenario here that would send a stone into your windshield and crack it for instance.
The argument of driving over a point of an object such as a rock is an impact that I would like to look at.

Calculating Impact of an object (small rock) on the front of a moving car
The reason being is that the tire tread and surface of the ground are in contact and have no relative velocity - ie the patch of tire contacting the ground has zero velocity at that point. All other points of the tire move froward.
The one way a rcok can be flung backwards is if the front car has the wheels spinning.
May3-12, 01:54 PM
Fair enough. I had always though that there would still be some component in the opposite direction. As when you pinch an object at a stand still on the ground it flips up but also has a direction towards the opposite side of where you were pinching it?
that being said I am concerned with the impact. and defining a possibly force that could act in such an impact. if a moving object such as the rock scenario above has too many unknowns then what about the stationary rock impact on the underside of a car?

If you want to use this work in litigation of some sort then you need to be dealing with the appropriate quantities, to deal with the 'experts'.
Note: There will be no "upward acceleration" once released from the car. The only acceleration would be g, (downwards), as the stone is in free fall. Angular velocity would not be relevant. Would a spinning stone be worse than a non-spinning one?
AS for the range of velocities that you are likely to get from stones (small pebbles) picked up and thrown by tyres, the maximum velocity would be in the forward direction, from the top of the wheel, which is travelling forward, always at twice the road speed. This would assume that the stone was released cleanly right at the top of the tyre. Any higher speeds are unlikely to be encountered, I think.
Afaik, the majority of stone chip damage is due to the forward motion of the car behind as it collides with stones which have been flung more or less vertically upwards by a couple of metres.
But you are talking in terms of substantial rocks - where would they come from - apart from total vandalism?
May4-12, 10:46 AM
Usually, when talking about impacts, the impact is quantified in terms of energy and/or impulse, not force. Force is just too hard to calculate and not that useful. The energy and impulse are easy to calculate. Assuming that the car is much heavier than the rock and it doesn't slow down when colliding, just take E=1/2 m v^2, where m is the mass of the rock and v is the relative velocity (mainly the velocity of the car). If you assume the rock is embedded into the car, the impulse is something like I=m*v. If the rock bounces of the car, it's something like I=2*m*v.

The initial response to impact is elastic deformation. In this stage, force is proportional to deformation, i.e. like a spring. If the energy of the impact exceeds what can be stored elastically (the elastic limit) the resistive force plateaus. The depth of damage is therefore proportional to the remaining energy.
See e.g. http://www.pdhcenter.com/courses/s164/s164content.pdf.
For high speed impacts, the inertial density of the impacted surface becomes important. Instead of the stress being transferred right across the surface, local stresses are enough to exceed the elastic limit and the damage is therefore more localised. E.g. push hard on a metal sheet and the whole thing will buckle, but fire a bullet at it and you'll punch a neat hole in it.

July 26, 2013, 4:24 PM — Social networking giant Facebook has taken another step at making the PHP Web programming language run more quickly. The company has developed a PHP Virtual Machine that it says can execute the language as much as nine times as quickly as running PHP natively on large systems.
"Our goal is to make PHP run really, really quickly," said Joel Pobar, a Facebook engineering manager. Facebook has been using the virtual machine, called the HipHop Virtual Machine (HHVM), across all of its servers since earlier this year.
Pobar discussed the virtual machine at the O'Reilly Open Source Conference (OSCON) being held this week in Portland, Oregon.
HHVM is not Facebook's first foray into customizing PHP for faster use. PHP is an interpreted language, meaning that the source code is executed by the processor directly. Generally speaking, programs written in interpreted languages such as PHP tend not to run as quickly as languages, such as C or C++, that have been compiled beforehand into machine language byte code. Facebook has remained loyal to PHP because it is widely understood by many of the Web programmers who work for the company.
To keep up with the insatiable user demand, however, Facebook originally devised a compiler, called HipHop, that would translate PHP code into C++, so it then it could be compiled ahead of time for faster performance.
While Facebook enjoyed considerable performance gains of this first version of HipHop for several years, it sought other ways to speed the delivery of the dynamically created Web pages to its billion or so users. "Our performance strategy for that was going to tap out," Pobar admitted.
HHVM is the next step for Facebook. Under development for about three years, HHVM actually works on the same principle as the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). HHVM has a just-in-time (JIT) compiler that converts the human readable source code into machine-readable byte code when it is needed. (The previous HipHop, renamed HPHPc, has now been retired within Facebook.)
This JIT approach allows the virtual machine to "make smarter decisions at runtime," Pobar said. For instance, if a call is made to the MySQL database to read a row of data, the HHVM can, on the fly, figure out what type of data it is, such as an integer or a string. It then can generate or call code on the fly that would be best suited for handling this particular type of data.

The San Fermín earthquake,[1][2][3] also known as the Puerto Rico earthquake of 1918, was a major earthquake that struck the island of Puerto Rico at 10:14am on October 11, 1918. The magnitude for the earthquake was a 7.5 (or Level IX in the Rossi-Forel scale); however, that might not be an exact number. The main-shock epicenter occurred offshore about 5 km (3.1 mi) from the northwestern coast of the island, somewhere along the Puerto Rico Trench.
The earthquake triggered a tsunami with waves measured at approximately 20–35 ft; it swept the west coast of the island. The combined effects of the earthquake and tsunami made it remembered as one of the worst natural disasters that have struck the island. The losses resulting from the disaster were approximately 116 casualties and $4 million in property.
The epicenter of the 1918 Puerto Rico Earthquake was located in the Mona Passage about 16 km (9.9 mi) from the northwestern coast of the island, somewhere along an old left-lateral strike-slip fault close to the Mona Passage. The strongest ground shaking has been estimated at around a magnitude 7.5, or Level IX (Rossi-Forel scale). The resulting tsunami affected primarily the west coast towns of the Island (primarily Mayaguez).
As a result of the earthquake, numerous structures in the west coast suffered irreparable damage. Factories and production facilities were virtually destroyed, while bridges and roads were severely damaged. The earthquake caused several mudslides in areas where the magnitude exceeded Level VII, but none caused numerous deaths. Also, the river currents were affected, which, in many cases affected the foundations of many bridges, resulting in their collapse. Telegraph cables under the ocean were damaged, cutting off the island from outside communication for a time.[4]
The reported casualties of the earthquake have been estimated somewhere between 91 to 116 deaths. Approximately 40 of these deaths were caused by the tsunami which swept shore communities. Also, damages to property were estimated at around $4 million, which was a huge amount at that time in terms of the island's economy.
In Mayaguez, the largest city affected, 700 masonry buildings were damaged and 1,000 wooden houses, so many people were homeless. Major buildings like the church, post office and hall were severely damaged. With fear because of the aftershocks, many people camped out in the hills for weeks.[4]
As a result of the earthquake, a tsunami lashed the west coast of the island, probably 4–7 minutes after the main shock. The highest waves were measured at 20 ft and destroyed several coastal villages. It has been estimated that 40 people were drowned as a direct result of the tsunami.
The tsunami reached Galveston, Texas, where it registered as a disturbance on tide gauges.
Several aftershocks were reported immediately after the main earthquake. On October 24 and November 12, two strong aftershocks were reported in the island. However, no damage was reported as a result.

The Advocate (Portland, Oregon)
The Advocate was a weekly newspaper in Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon,[1] established to cover issues relating to racial minorities. It was founded in 1903 and is believed to have run until 1933, the latest date for which microfilm is available.[2]
In its early days it was known as the Mt. Scott Herald (published in Lents from 1913 to 1924) and possibly as the Beaver State Herald (published in Gresham and Montavilla).[3]
In 1912, Beatrice Morrow came to Portland and married Advocate editor Edward Cannady.[4] At the time, Portland had an African American population of barely 1,000, and Beatrice Morrow Cannady quickly became involved in civil rights issues, including protesting the showing of The Birth of a Nation.[4] Along with continuing to work on The Advocate and giving hundreds of talks and presentations, Cannady graduated from the Northwestern College of Law in 1922, and she worked to remove racist language from the Oregon Constitution.[4] She was finally successful in 1927.[4] She continued her work in Oregon through the 1930s, when she moved to California.[4]

Profit From Rising Interest Rates by Investing in Discount Brokerages
John is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
With the Fed announcing in June that it may soon stop purchasing treasuries and mortgages as long as the U.S. economy continues improving, investors are bracing for the inevitable rise in interest rates that had remained depressed since 2008. While rising interest rates may hurt certain investment strategies such as going long treasuries, it can also provide opportunities for the savvy investor. I believe one particularly effective method of capitalizing on the impending rise in interest rates is investing in discount brokerages such as Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW), TD Ameritrade (NYSE: AMTD), and E*Trade Financial (NASDAQ: ETFC). I believe that among these three discount brokers, Schwab and TD Ameritrade represents the safest choices. E*Trade offers more leverage to rising interest rates, but its poor financial health may mean that its risks outweigh its rewards.
Leverage to rising interest rates
There are two main reasons for why discount brokerages offer ample upside from higher interest rates. For one, in a higher interest rate environment, discount brokers will be able to generate significant interest income through investing the "float," or the cash that clients park in their investment accounts in short-term fixed income investments, as well as through charging interest on margin loans that customers take out for their accounts. This interest income comprises a significant portion of the three discount brokerages' revenue, and is a major profit driver. The table below depicts the trend in interest revenue for Schwab, TD Ameritrade, and E*Trade during the past several years.
Interest Revenue for Discount Brokers (in $ millions)
As interest rates inevitably rise, discount brokers will be able to earn a higher return on their float as well as on margin loans, which will lead to a significant spike in total sales given that interest revenue is already such a big portion of total revenue for these companies. Even better, much of this increase in interest revenue will fall directly to the bottom line, since there are no extra expenses the brokers need to incur to earn this higher interest revenue.
Granted, the discount brokers will have to share some of the bounties of higher interest rates with customers by passing through some of the higher returns to the client accounts. But sharing some of the profits from higher interest rates would sure beat not having much interest income to share in the first place. In its 2012 year-end report, Schwab estimates that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase its net interest revenue by 19.2%. Given that Schwab's net interest revenue in 2012 was $1.76 billion, this implies that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have boosted Schwab's pre-tax profits by roughly $0.27 per share. For sake of reference, Schwab's pre-tax income in 2012 was $1.15 per share, so the projected gains from higher interest revenue are quite material.
No more fee waivers
The second way discount brokers can win from higher interest rates is by reinstating money market fees that have been waived during the past few years. Brokers like Schwab were forced to waive the asset management fees they charge for holding customers assets in money market accounts in recent years because customers would have earned a negative nominal return on their cash if they were charged the normal fees given the dismal rate of return on money market investments. With higher interest rates, and a corresponding increase in money market rates, I think discount brokers will slowly be able to reinstate asset management fees on customer's money market accounts. Currently, the lost income from waived money market fees are significant, with Schwab estimating that it waived $587 million in fees in 2012, representing $0.46 per share in pre-tax profits. If discount brokers are able to bring these fees back thanks to higher interest rates, their bottom lines would almost certainly receive a sizable boost.
With interest rates almost certain to rise over the next several years thanks to the Fed instituting tighter monetary policy, discount brokers stand to greatly increase their bottom lines by generating higher interest revenue as well as by reinstating money market fees which were previously waived. Among the three discount brokers discussed, I believe that Schwab and TD Ameritrade are the best-of-breeds with strong financial health and a robust and growing asset base.
While E*Trade Financial may offer more leverage to higher rates because it generates a higher percentage of its total revenue from interest revenue, the company also has a weak balance sheet with a debt to equity ratio of 0.62 at the end of 2012 compared to Schwab and TD Ameritrade's ratio of 0.19 and 0.31, respectively. Looking at valuation multiples Schwab traded at roughly 31 times trailing twelve month (TTM) earnings, while TD Ameritrade traded at roughly 23 times TTM earnings. While these earnings multiples might seem a bit high, investors should remember that earnings per share for the discount brokers have room to spike much higher with even a modest increase in interest rates, as discussed in previous sections. As such, Schwab and TD Ameritrade are worth a look for investors seeking for a way to directly profit from a higher interest rate environment.

Grasselli Chemical Company
From Bhamwiki
The Grasselli Chemical Company was an Ohio-based manufacturer of chemicals whose Southern territory was once headquartered in Birmingham.
The company was founded in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1839 by Eugene Ramiro Grasselli as a manufacturer of sulfuric acid. It moved its headquarters to Cleveland in 1867 in order to better supply that city's oil refining industry.
Grasselli acquired a 100-acre parcel near Hillman, four miles from Bessemer in 1899 for a new chemical works. It spent an estimated $100,000 to $200,000 building and http://nalys-group.com/info-cialis equipping the plant for the production of nitric acid and other heavy chemicals. The company also opened a downtown office in the Brown-Marx Building.
The Grasselli Company promoted a type of "social welfare" common among many of best online viagra'>best online viagra the wow look it 50mg cialis Birmingham District's large employers in the early 20th century. Through various programs companies would seek to improve the health and loyalty of its workforce. In addition to enter site prescription viagra sponsoring an Industrial League baseball team, the Grasselli company constructed houses for workers near the plant, a practice thought to attract a more stable workforce. The residences were heated with steam generated at the plant. The area has since been annexed into Birmingham and is part of the neighborhood of Grasselli Heights in the Grasselli community.
The Grasselli Chemical Company was acquired by E. I. Du Pont de Nemours Co. in 1928. Du Pont closed down its Birmingham operations in the 1940s.

It's a virus that's left many pork producers not only heartbroken, but hungry for answers to how and why it's done so much damage in only one year. Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDv) first entered the U.S. herd in April of 2013. Since then, some estimates point to 8 million pigs that have been lost in 30 states.
"Pigs take it hard, and people take it hard," says Erin Ehinger, a pork producer in Holland, Mich., who knows the impact of PEDv first-hand.
"We had some sows that started to have some diarrhea," she says. "We see a little bit of that here and there, but it continued to get worse and worse."
That was back in February. She says they immediately sent in diagnostics. Within a couple days, reality set in: PEDv had entered their herd.
"By that time, the farrowing had broke and we had sick babies everywhere," says Ehinger. "It was awful."
She says when PEDv broke, it broke hard and fast, impacting all six of their swine farms all together.
"That first farm broke, then we broke almost every other farm right after that, primarily over the weekend," she explains. "So, we've had all of our sows have been exposed to PED and it's been a long battle."

Even worse than fast food workers messing up my order is Subway workers messing up my order. I mean, seriously, I'm standing right here! If I say no onions, why are you putting onions on there?
Wow. I just said "that's all" to myself out loud. As fast as I said it, it sounded a lot like "and salt". Interesting. One thing I try to do when ordering food is be very clear and very specific. Of course I still get the occasional Extra onion and no pickle :( at BK (you can take off the onion but you can't add pickle if you don't has them). It's not a perfect world we live in and that's for sure.

I am intrigued by the effect that long endured stress, anxiety, guilt, loss, and responsibility have on the physical human condition. while I note that this phenomena is shared among many of those having held the office of president, this effect is most prominent in Lincoln. I wanted to capture that time when these effects had begun to wane; the war has ended, and a new hope prevailed for the burgeoning nation, as well as it's people whose ranks were now joined by millions who were previously in bondage. A new challenge worth undertaking. I imagine he is sitting for a portrait, and tried to duplicate that transition of feeling from sadness, remorse, and worry, to one of anticipation and hope. I imagine him pondering a humorous anecdote, but he hesitates in telling the artist, after being admonished to be still. The joke is never told, the painting never quite finished. He will be dead in three days.

My Letter to ABC's 'Lost'
Meredith Hoffa: After five devoted seasons of being a "Lost" watcher, I decided to voice my complaints.
Dear "Lost,"
Stop hiding stuff. Do you hear me? STOP HIDING! I need you to come out from behind the *^%$#ing renaissance faire garb, show your face, and start answering my &^%*ing questions.
I'm getting increasingly anxious that you are never going to answer these questions. What are your plans, man? I've stuck with you for five seasons, yet it seems like your whole M.O. is to just pose question after question, layering them on top of one another like a crazypants question lasagna, and as someone who is a do-er and also vaguely OCD and thrives on checking items off a list and gaining closure, it is really messing with my sense of sanity that you keep adding MORE questions to my list without ever clearing the clutter and allowing me to cross anything off that list. Who raised you? I mean seriously. There are three months left to the whole affair, and frankly I'm concerned that the series finale will come and go and you will not have addressed the outstanding questions, and if that happens I will feel such massive, raging and victimy piss-offery that I will have no choice but to prematurely turn into a bitter old lady when really I am a young and pleasant gal and should -- at least for a little while longer -- still carry with me some small to medium amount of hope and idealism.
Honestly, do you even have a plan? Is anyone driving this bus? I have followed you on this island journey with the assumption that you are leading me somewhere good, towards some gratifying climax. But if that's not the case, please tell me now. Sooner is better than later. Because in your hands is the power to ruin my trust in television forever. And Lord knows I adore television.
"Lost," please be aware of the sacrifices I have made for you over the years. I've ignored my pesky, tugging inner voice of reason and have decided to accept the inexplicable lack of hair-frizzing humidity, the absence of a single shellfish allergy, the seemingly unlimited supply of backpacks, men in permanent eyeliner, Sun's pristine linen pants and sweater set ensembles and the fact that Hurley does not lose weight. For you I have also accepted monsters made of ash, tropics-dwelling polar bears, reincarnation, electromagnetic fields, baby-adoring hobbit-men, and neanderthal-esque madwomen/Frenchwomen. Oh and also time travel. Also ghosts. Though then again, are they ghosts? You have yet to answer that question.
Anyway, we've been together a long time now, and my strongest hope is that those gazillion hours were not spent in vain. I'm a busy person with a busy life -- a baby, a high maintenance cat, bills -- and unfortunately I don't have time to indulge your shenanigans. There's certainly still time for a happy ending here (not that kind!) and so please, if you don't want to lose me, please, please give me some sort of sign that you are not leading me down a path of bull*&% juvenile sci-fi mumbo-jumbo fantasy dreck.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

Usually seems these days like a newspapers primary function is to maximise circulation. And I guess that is a function of the business. But I think newspapers have become victims of the free market, as with everything else. They compete for readership and so become increasingly sensationalist and / or polarised in their views, in order to distinguish themselves and make themselves heard. Its role as the thoughtful, rational interpreter has been squeezed, and now it is mainly intended to be a standard bearer of a pre-determined position / point of view, preferably one that can wittily deconstruct the opposing point of view on any given topic.
"Comment is free, but facts are sacred" – so famously wrote the (Manchester) Guardian editor and sometime Liberal MP CP Scott.
The words were penned for an article he wrote in 1921 to mark the paper's centenary and are frequently quoted in debates about journalistic standards.
However, the full piece includes much more than the oft-repeated quote, including this passage from CP Scott on the role of a newspaper. Like the quote, it too has many contemporary echoes:
A newspaper has two sides to it. It is a business, like any other, and has to pay in the material sense in order to live. But it is much more than a business; it is an institution; it reflects and it influences the life of a whole community; it may affect even wider destinies. It is, in its way, an instrument of government. It plays on the minds and consciences of men. It may educate, stimulate, assist, or it may do the opposite. It has, therefore, a moral as well as a material existence, and its character and influence are in the main determined by the balance of these two forces. It may make profit or power its first object, or it may conceive itself as fulfilling a higher and more exacting function.

The FAA is issuing an Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Helicopters (previously Eurocopter France) EC130B4 and EC130T2. The AD requires repetitive inspection of the fenestron-to-tailboom junction frame for a crack. This AD is prompted by reports of a crack propagating through the junction frame on two EC130B4 helicopters. These actions are intended to detect a crack and to prevent failure of the junction frame, which could result in loss of the fenestron and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

A helicopter emergency services (HEMS) weather summit will be held tomorrow in Washington, D.C. The event is sponsored by the National Center for Atmospheric Research in conjunction with the National EMS Pilots Association, FAA, National Weather Service and the International Helicopter Safety Team. An inaugural summit, held in 2006, resulted in the development of the aviation digital data service HEMS weather tool.
The FAA has issued a final rule to adopt a new Airworthiness Directive (AD) for the sliding doors on the Eurocopter AS350B, AS350BA, AS350B1, AS350B2, AS350B3, AS350C, AS350D, AS350D1, AS355E, AS355F, AS355F1, AS355F2, AS355N and AS355NP. The AD does not apply to aircraft that have modification AL 4262. The AD, which requires removing specified nuts and washers from the lower ball-joint bolt, was prompted by a report of a sliding door detaching from the helicopter in flight.
The FAA has adopted a new Airworthiness Directive (AD) for all AgustaWestland A109, A109A, A109A II, A109C, A109K2, A109E, A109S and A119 helicopters. It was prompted by the failure of the tail rotor pitch control link assembly on an A109E, caused by a production defect. The AD requires inspecting the link assembly for freedom of movement and taking corrective action if rotation resistance or binding occurs.

The FAA has begun the process that could lead to rewriting the certification regulations for normal and transport category helicopters certified under Parts 27 and 29. On February 22 the FAA issued a request for public comment, due on or before May 23.
The FAA has begun the process that could lead to rewriting the standards for normal- and transport-category helicopters certified under Parts 27 and 29 of the FARs. On Friday, the agency formally issued a request for public comment due on or before May 23. Specifically, the FAA is seeking comments on whether it should revise the maximum weight and passenger-seat capacity for helicopters in both categories and make airworthiness standards "more efficient and adaptable to future technology."
The FAA is proposing an Airworthiness Directive for the Eurocopter AS332C, L and L1 to require initial and repetitive inspections of the outer skin, butt strap and fuselage frame for a crack and modification of the helicopter. The proposed AD is prompted by an AD issued by the EASA that states a crack was discovered in a fuselage frame during a daily check.
The FAA is proposing an airworthiness directive for MD Helicopters 369Ds, 369Es, 369Fs and 369FFs with specific serial-numbered tailboom assemblies. The AD was prompted by the discovery of short-edge margin conditions on two tailboom assemblies.

Seafood Species Substitution and Economic Fraud
Seafood Substitution
Economic Deception or Fraud in the sale of seafood occurs when a less expensive species is substituted for a more expensive-species. For example, the substitution of less expensive snappers (Lutjanus spp.) or rockfish (Sebastes spp.) for more expensive red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) in interstate commerce constitutes fraud and is prohibited under the Misbranding Section of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act Section 403: MISBRANDED FOOD. (See also, United States Code, Title 21, Chapter 9, Section 403(b) - Misbranded food: A food shall be deemed to be misbranded if it is offered for sale under the name of another food.
FDA's Examples of Substituted SeafoodProducts in Column A have been known to be substituted for those in Column B,
which in most cases are products that are more expensive.

Labour can hardly comment on data security
I find it highly ironic that Labour is going on about sensitive data security:
Is Labour asking Keith Ng and Ira Bailey to handover or delete the files.. no…they're making political capital out of them. Remember when they had their own data breach…at that time Labour threatened and blustered and attacked the person who breached their security, such as it was.
While Labour, the Greens and left wing blogs all stick up for Keith Ng and Ira Bailey, I do wonder how things would have panned out had it been revealed that it was me who found this data breach, and that I took files and that I or my source asked for money. I know exactly how it would have panned out… because Labour did it to me.
They accused me of hacking, they laid complaints against me with the Privacy Commission and wrote threatening letters. The whole saga is summarised here.

Caltech senior Wilson Ho spent his summer completing a SURF project in the lab of Robert Grubbs, one of the winners of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Ho tells his nonscientist friends and family that the goal of his project is to develop "stem-cell Band-Aids" that might one day help restore vision in those suffering from macular degeneration.
Much like cities organize contingency plans and supplies for emergencies, chronic infectious diseases like HIV form reservoirs that ensure their survival in adverse conditions. But these reservoirs—small populations of viruses or bacteria of a specific type that persist despite attack by the immune system or drug treatment—are not always well understood. Now, however, researchers at Caltech believe they have begun to decode how a reservoir of infection can persist in HIV-positive populations.
One looks like little more than a stethoscope head attached to a wire; the other seems to be an oven mitt with three metal disks sewn on. Simple, yes, but these prototype medical devices—developed by young Caltech researchers working on a SURF project—could one day save lives.
When it comes to a small HIV-fighting protein, called cyanovirin-N, Caltech researchers have found that two are better than one.
Zcube Srl, a research venture of the Italian pharmaceutical company Zambon, and Caltech have signed an exclusive research and option agreement to develop and commercialize skin patches that contain embedded carbon nanotubes for delivering drugs.
Each time a virus invades a healthy individual, antibodies created by the body fight to fend off the intruders. For HIV, the antibodies are very specific and are generated too slowly to combat the rapidly changing virus. However, scientists have found that some HIV-positive people develop highly potent antibodies that can neutralize different subtypes of the virus. Now, a study involving Caltech researchers points to the possibility of using these neutralizing antibodies in the development of a vaccine.
Figuring a virus's host is can be difficult, especially when you're talking about bacteriophages, a group of bacteria-infecting viruses. The problem lies in identifying which bacteriophages are infecting which bacteria, without having to culture either the viruses or their hosts in the lab. Now, a Caltech-led team has created a technique that can "physically link single bacterial cells harvested from a natural environment with a viral marker genes," the scientists report in the July 1 issue of the journal Science.
As part of a program to foster innovative biomedical research projects, an anonymous donor has pledged $3 million each to Caltech and City of Hope to strengthen scientific collaborations between the two leading research institutions.
There's a wealth of health information hiding in the human immune system. Accessing it, however, can be very challenging, as the many and complex roles that the immune system plays can mask the critical information that is relevant to addressing specific health issues. Now, research led by scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has shown that a new generation of microchips developed by the team can quickly and inexpensively assess immune function.
A team of researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Caltech, and the University of Louisville have used a stimulating electrode array to assist a paralyzed man to stand, step on a treadmill with assistance, and, over time, to regain voluntary movements of his limbs. The electrical signals provided by the array, the researchers have found, stimulate the spinal cord's own neural network so that it can use the sensory input derived from the legs to direct muscle and joint movements.

Nice, though I probably wouldn't purchase it (for the design) definitely not at that price point. I'd be interested in great lighting design on a real budget, lighting that is easy to find, including inventive DIY.
I saw a great piece somewhere once...it was an old chandelier with all the metal parts literally encrusted in various seashells, mostly in the soft pink/cream tones,and instead of crystals it had swags of strung tiny shells ( can find at craft stores, or old seashell necklaces at second hand stores)-it looked like something out of Davie Jone's Locker!!!Very cool and DIY!!
Wow, thanks boomer, my dining area isn't large enough for some of the Lighting Universe examples you shared but amazing options at Lamps Plus. I'll spend some time hunting through both sites... Thanks!

An Empirical Study of the Training Evaluation Decision-Making Model to Measure Training Outcome
Academic journal article
By Hung, Tsang-Kai
Social Behavior and Personality: an international journal , Vol. 38, No. 1 , February 2010
Article excerpt
Organizations in Taiwan are facing more rigorous competition than ever before because of the new era of globalization. As a result, human resource development (HRD) has received additional attention in both the public and private sectors. In the public sector, Taiwan's government has embedded the concept of HRD into the government transformation process. Several recent government policies have reflected the need for intensive HRD. Meanwhile, in private sector organizations, training has become a prevalent concern for decision makers. Common Wealth, a major industrial and business magazine, conducted a nationwide study of the top 1,000 companies in Taiwan regarding their business priorities. The top two priorities of these companies were: 1) training and development and, 2) research and development. A total of 47.8% of the top 1,000 organizations perceived training and development as being the highest priority they needed to address (Chen, Holton, & Bates, 2005). Undoubtedly, a training program is an attempt to improve work performance, rather than a prerequisite for job performance that has already been judged successful. Therefore, the more understanding that can be gained regarding how a training program works, the more support the top management will give. But how do we know the program works well? If we want to continue to improve and refine it, we have to be able to determine whether or not program participants are really getting what they want. In order to ensure that training is maximally effective and to determine what improvements could be made, measurements must be taken. A four-level model of evaluating training program effectiveness, based on an evaluation process originally proposed by Kirkpatrick in 1959 was adopted for use in this study. The model involves four levels of criteria for evaluation procedures: reaction, learning, behavior, and results. A successful training evaluation relies on the collecting and analyzing of data. Goldstein (1980) defined evaluation as the systematic collection of descriptive and judgmental information necessary to make effective training decisions related to the selection, adoption, value, and modification of various instructional activities (p. 237). However, the time and cost involved can be considerable, and even HR professionals are saying that training evaluations are simply the response rates from trained employee surveys. There are several reasons that companies do not undertake training evaluations; among them are the costs involved, the difficulty in establishing controls, measuring devices being unavailable, staff not being qualified, the statistical work being too cumbersome and complicated, the difficulties in determining the relationship between training and results, too many variables operating at the same time, and the evaluation results being too theoretical and not providing meaningful information.
Literature Review
According to the Sugrue and Rivera (2005) state of the industry report, training evaluations occurred at the following rates: level one (employee reaction) 91%; level two (employee knowledge) 54%; level three (transfer of training to the workplace) 23%; level four (impact on business) 8%; and level five (monetary impact of the training) 3%. The ASTD researchers found that sales training programs were the most likely to be evaluated at levels three and four while executive development programs were most likely to be evaluated at level five. The general consensus is that training evaluation is a critical and important phase of the program development process; however, this step is often neglected. Attia, Honeycutt, and Attia (2002) provide three reasons why this is so. First, training has been limited historically; training budgets have been reduced annually consistently since the 1970s. Second, the academic analysts have criticized evaluation efforts, asserting that they provide weak practical guidance. Third, trainer anxieties result in a desire to avoid performance appraisal unless the outcome is guaranteed to be positive. …

Day 15 ends with no sign of the missing East Toledo toddler.
FBI divers spent Monday combing the Maumee River for 18-month-old Elaina Steinfurth.
The search boast spent five hours on the water near the Anthony Wayne Bridge, known as the High Level Bridge, as fishermen somberly looked on.
Rods and reels, speedboats, and rowing teams.
It seems like a normal summer day on the Maumee River, but it's all cast in the grim shadow of a US Coast Guard boat searching for 18-month-old Elaina Steinfurth who was last seen on June 2nd.
"They came down this way and then they went down there and stopped," says William Jones, a fisherman.
Jones sits in silence, as he always does as he baits his hook and waits for a bite.
But this time his thoughts are with the missing East Toledo toddler and what the FBI and Coast Guard will find, or won't find, in the river.
"Whatever they can do to find her. I hope they find her alive," says Jones.
"A lot of similarities in Nevaeh's case," says Risa Smith who the organizer of the group called Justice for Nevaeh. "It's kind of eerie."
Since last Thursday, dozens of the group's volunteers have been fanning out and searching every other day for missing Elaina.
Justice for Nevaeh formed four years ago after five-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan disappeared from her apartment in Monroe, MI. About two weeks later, a pair of fishermen found Nevaeh dead, encased in cement, buried alive on the banks of the River Raisin.
"We're talking about being by water again, we're talking about a lot of things that have to do with Nevaeh's case which does definitely open up a few wounds, but you can never give up hope when you're looking for a child," says Smith.
"I've got four of them," says Louis Snyder.
Snyder is a fisherman and a dad.
He hopes the FBI, Coast Guard, Toledo Police, or volunteer searchers find Baby Elaina safe and spared the gruesome fate of Nevaeh.
"I just wish they could find her and have her alive and there's nothing wrong with her," says Snyder.
Meanwhile, Elaina's mother is in the Lucas County Jail on a charge of child endangering.
Police say Angela Steinfurth admitted that Elaina was hurt and she failed to seek medical attention for the girl.
Steinfurth will be back in court on Thursday.

Business Ideas in the News / May 28, 2014
Thanks to an anonymous benefactor, Boing Boing is pleased to present the first-ever look at the original Disneyland prospectus. These extremely high-resolution scans were made from one of the three sets of pitch-documents Roy and Walt Disney used to raise the money to build Disneyland. There are no archive copies of this document. Neither the Walt Disney Company nor the Walt Disney Family Museum have it. But we certainly hope both organizations will download these documents for inclusion in their collections.
You can see the entire twelve page prospectus here.

The Global Hospital Medicine Fellowship is ideal for early-career hospitalists or graduating residents who anticipate careers in global health.
Research Training and Mentorship
One and two year fellows will participate in the Summer Program in Outcomes Research Training (SPORT) at the University of Chicago during the summer quarter of their first year.
Our fellowship is integrated within the Center for Health and the Social Sciences (CHeSS), where core faculty in hospital medicine, health economic, medical sociology will work with our fellows. With connections to virtually all schools and divisions at the University of Chicago, CHeSS works to support and promote innovation and excellence in research, scholarship, training, and collaboration.
Some fellows wit strong interest in medical education scholarship may wish to consider the Medical Education Research, Innovation, Teaching and Scholarship (MERITS).
Fellows may also wish to pursue a Master's Degree in public policy at the Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies or a Master's Degree in the Department of Health Studies.
We collaborate closely with the University of Chicago Human Right's Program, where Dr. Lyon sits on the board and with the University's Global Health Initiative.
Clinical Training
5-6 months each year at a collaborating site in Haiti.
Supervision 'in the field' will be provided by local senior clinicians, and by University of Chicago and University of California San Francisco faculty on periodic visits.
*** Collaborating sites beyond Haiti will be considered with an applicant's prior experience and approval of the site by fellowship faculty.
2-3 months each year attending at the University of Chicago Medical Center.
Welcoming the inaugural class of family practice residents
St. Marc, Haiti, January 2012
The Global Hospital Medicine Fellow will live, work, teach, and conduct research in Haiti in collaboration with Partners In Health / Zanmi Lasante (PIH / ZL) – the largest provider of healthcare in Haiti and a central partner with the Ministry of Public Health and Population and the State University of Haiti in rebuilding medical education after the devastating earthquake on January 12, 2010. Fellows will attend on a dedicated inpatient teaching service alongside Haitian physicians and trainees. Fellows will also serve a primary role in teaching internal medicine to Haitian residents in PIH / ZL's family practice residency program.
