Actor Robert De Niro has acted in some amazing movies throughout his career, but it appears as if he is beginning to lose his touch.
Rather than focusing on being the tough guy, something that he has excelled in through all the films he has acted in, he is now commenting on politics.
De Niro recently slammed President Donald Trump during a speech at Rhode Island's Brown University.
Conservative Tribune reports:
Over the weekend of May 26-28, Brown University celebrated the commencement of its class of 2017. De Niro, a card-carrying Hollywood liberal, tried to use his celebrity and "movie terminology" to relate to the graduates and inspire them towards, "change."
His statements were not only weak in logic, but likely offensive to a good part of his audience. Not everyone in the graduating class shared his left-wing sentiments, but that didn't stop De Niro from telling the graduates that the country they are graduating in is a "tragic, dumb— comedy."
"When you started school, the country was an inspiring, uplifting drama," he said, according to Brown University's website. "You are graduating into a tragic, dumbass comedy."
"My advice is to lock the Van Wickle Gates and stay here," De Niro said. "But if you do leave, work for the change. Work to stop the insanity. Start now so the Class of 2018 will graduate into a better world."
Shame on De Niro. He should stick to acting because he knows next to nothing about politics.
What do you think about De Niro's comments? Share this story on social media and leave a comment below.

Federal legislation provides funding for State grants to provide services that will prevent the unnecessary separation of children from their families, improve their quality of care, and ensure permanency for children by reuniting them with their parents, through adoption, or via another permanent living arrangement. Federal programs related to family support include the Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) program, the Family Preservation and Family Support Services Act of 1993, the Promoting Safe and Stable Families provisions of the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, and the Safe and Stable Families Amendments of 2001.
The following resources provide a broad overview of policies addressing family support services and program approaches to providing such services to families.

ZERO TO THREE Home Visiting Community Planning Tool (PDF - 286 KB)

Among Karl Marx's most famous writings are his Theses on Feuerbach. But who was Feuerbach?
Ludwig Feuerbach was brought up a devout Protestant, and started at university as a student of theology. He then became one of the most brilliant students of Hegel at Berlin university in the 1820s, and a Hegelian academic philosopher, though, as Engels remarked, "a never quite orthodox Hegelian".
In the years after the publication in 1835-6 of David Strauss's Life of Jesus, which subjected the Bible stories to the same sort of critical sifting of historical evidence as other stories of long ago,
Giant Swiss bank Credit Suisse stands accused of helping US plutocrats avoid tax by, among other things, shredding documents, holding meetings in a secret elevator, and hiding bank statements inside copies of Sports Illustrated.
The same bank also recently agreed to pay the US Securities Exchange Commission $196.5 million for another misdeed: cross-border brokerage and investment advisory services it provided to unregistered US clients.
14 other banks are under investigation by US authorities on the tax-avoidance front.
Late last year an even bigger, J P Morgan, did a deal with US authorities
Economic recovery? Only for a few. Wages are still lagging behind inflation. The average annual increase in wages is still onIy 1.0%, while prices (even on the conservative CPI measure) are going up about 2% per year.
Real wages (wage growth minus inflation) have been falling consistently since the end of 2009. It is certainly the longest squeeze since modern records began in 1964, and probably the longest since the 1870s.
Average house prices have risen, relative to wages, from five years' worth to ten years' worth, since 1997. As the Daily Mirror pointed out (11 February), wages would now
IT giant Atos wants to ditch its contract to assess ill and disabled people claiming out of work benefits, but it has not given up assessing people with long-term ill-health and disability for the new Personal Independence Payment.
Atos wanted out because the government told them they weren't up to the job of implementing the Work Capability Assessment. A National Audit Office report shows Atos is also not up to the job of implementing PIP (replacement for the Disability Living Allowance).
According to NAO, on the Atos-run north-east PIP pilot, new claims are taking on average 107 days,
Campaigners presented online retail giant Amazon with a 56,000-strong petition demanding it pay living wages.
The hand-in, which took place on Friday 28 February, was the latest action in an ongoing media campaign to expose exploitation in Amazon warehouses.
Campaigners have now set up a blog where Amazon workers can share and discuss experiences of working life.
Yorkshire care workers' seven-day strike
Workers at Care UK in Doncaster, South Yorkshire struck for a week from Thursday 27 February.

A London Underground "Employee Bulletin" of 19 February announced Tube bosses' plans to commission driverless trains on several lines.
The Rail, Maritime, and Transport workers' union (RMT) and drivers' union ASLEF have launched a dispute over the issue. The announcement, in the midst of an ongoing RMT and TSSA fight against job cuts and closures on stations, is an extraordinarily belligerent act by management and an indication of the extent of their plans to automate and destaff the network.
An RMT statement said: "We reaffirm our position that every train must have a driver to ensure the
Outsourced cleaners at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in central London struck on 4 and 5 March to win the same holiday entitlement, contractual sick pay, and pension scheme as directly-employed staff.
The cleaners, who work for the outsourced company ISS, have been involved in the long-running Justice 4 Cleaners campaign at SOAS. The strong ballot of 100% in favour of strike action on a 62% turnout is a testament to the strength of the campaign and the local SOAS Unison branch.
The union was approached by ISS and the company said it wished to meet the union on 3 March if
The recent crisis in Northern Ireland over secret letters from the British Government to republican "On the Runs" (OTRs) underscores the fragility of the power-sharing institutions.
The crisis emerged after the trial of John Downey, accused of the 1982 Hyde Park bombing, collapsed. It emerged that he received a letter in 2007 from the British Government telling him he would not face trial. Northern Ireland's First Minister, Peter Robinson, threatened to collapse the power-sharing Executive if the British Government failed to call a judge-led inquiry into the "get out of jail free cards" (in
Some union branches which previously nominated SWP members as left candidates in union elections have not done so this year.
The motive is to register a protest against the SWP's 18 months or so of crass mishandling of charges of sexual harassment and then rape against a leading organiser.
Some of those refusing to nominate explain that in the actual vote between an SWPer and a right-winger, they will vote for the SWPer. The refusal to nominate is intended as a gesture of reprimand.
It's not clear if any significant number of left-wing union activists actually intend to vote for the right

Why you shouldn't take the little things for granted.
In my first week on the job as Marketing Director for Warm Glow Candles, one of my tasks was to come up with a theme, slew of slogans and logo for our Spring Open House coming up in May.
I had been tossing around the idea of a play on "then and now" as we are expanding with at least one new building. Well, one new-old building. We are moving and re-purposing the first Warm Glow building — nothing like holding on to your roots as you move forward. Great theme- but proving to be difficult with regards the fun, cheeky Joes Crab Shack-like slogans and characters my boss was also wanting.
So, Friday rolls around and I've still got nothing. Not a damn thing. It's my first week, I've got something to prove and I have zilch. My boss pulls me in to her office, presumably to talk about the theme of the Open House- and to my surprise she has a been in a meeting with a lady from Lindsay Phillips.
*Note: for those of you who don't know, Lindsay Phillips sells customizable sandals. You can change the straps and pendants, etc… Very boutique, relatively kick-ass.
I digress. My boss then says, I want to model the Open House around this new shoe line we will have in the store and we will start with these coral and teal colors. She decides to buy every employee those sandals and matching Warm Glow tshirts for the event.
And then it happened. Like I was the most genious marketer on the planet.
Wait for it…
Yep. SANDALS rhymes with CANDLES. Perfect.
And that is how our Spring Open House theme was born. The littlest piece of the puzzle, a new sandal line, sprouted an entire theme. Don't take the little things for granted. Don't forget to look at EVERY piece of the puzzle when you're dealing with a bit of brain drain.
Stay tuned for more fun stories about Spring Fever: Candles and Sandals and as always, keep rockin'

Learn How to Write an Effective Personal Statement in No Time
Writing a personal statement is not as challenging as it sounds. When you are assigned the task of writing a personal statement, the most important first step is to read the instructions. In many cases, the instructions will provide word counts and a focus for the topic of the personal statement. You should be sure to get close to word count - without going over, and you should be sure to stick to the required focus.
Why Write a Personal Statement
Personal statements are essentially the format that many schools and workplaces use to get to know you. These statements are used as a way to sell yourself to a new school or to help get a promotion at work. When you write your personal statement, you want to put your personal traits in the best possible light and show how those traits can better the organization. You can also write about how the organization will make your traits better, too.
Where to Begin
Most personal statement assignments to involve answering a question or writing with a focus. You should directly address the question in a specific fashion, usually by telling a story. Before you begin to write, you should jot down some notes and possibly even formulate a brief outline to keep your focused on the task. Then you begin writing.
Opening Section
The first part of the statement is an introduction. This opening paragraphs should attempt to get the reader's attention with the use of an effective hook. Then you should move into the focus of the statement, by giving an answer to the question or addressing the focus. Do not directly address the reader. Write like you are writing an academic essay, but with slightly more of your own personal voice.
Middle Section and Closing
The middle section of the paper is where you get into the reasons why you should be accepted, promoted, or put into a particular organization. This where you will record your strengths and the strengths of the organization, too. You do want to show that you know something about the organization, so it looks like you have made your choice with purpose and care. If you are writing about a career goal, share what you have done to help learn about the career and prepare yourself for it. Most personal essays do not include formal conclusions, but you will want to be sure that you close the statement so it feels finished.

Van Morrison Ticket Information
Undeniably one of the most important Irish rock artists of all time, Van Morrison has long been a dominating force in contemporary music. He launched his career as vocalist for the band Them, earning major success with the raw hit "Gloria," before setting off on his own to record a catalog of music that artfully infused rock, folk, soul, and R&B. During a live performance on the Van Morrison tour, he's known to feature hits from across his more than four decades in the spotlight, including top tracks from iconic albums like "Tupelo Honey" and "Astral Weeks."

My Favorite Things: Fall 2016 Edition
Fitness is cool, but there is much more to life than figuring out the perfect training split and cooking meals. Until now, I've written primarily about fitness things. That's not going anywhere, but I have plenty of other interests, and I want to share them with you all, because if they've affected my life in a positive way, I think there's a good chance they'll affect your life as well.
Welcome to the first installment of My Favorite Things.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that I blatantly stole this idea from Nate Green, one of my favorite writers in the world, who used to post "Things Currently Rocking My World" on his blog. I'll also admit that some of the most life-changing books I've read, and some of the most meaningful things I've ever owned, I've discovered through lists like Nate's, as well as others.
Without further ado, allow me to share some of the things that have been greatly improving my life recently. These are things I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone, and I highly suggest checking them out if you're interested.
Okay, so I'm years late on this, but Audible is an absolute game changer. I used to hate driving with a passion, but audiobooks make it much more bearable.
If you're short on time, but want to read books, Audible is absolutely amazing. I listen to audiobooks everytime I do my cardio, drive anywhere, or go on morning walks. I'm an avid reader, so I was hesitant about this, but it's a game-changer.
You can buy books straight up, but they are usually at least $20-30. If you sign up for a membership through your Amazon account, you can pay $15/month for one book credit each month, as well as get discounted rates on other books. This is an absolute steal, and I've listened to well over a dozen books in the past few months, books I wouldn't otherwise have had time to read.
If you want to start with a mind-blowing book, I highly suggest The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, one of the best writers out there. This book was suggested by Tim Ferriss, and it's a wonderful work of fiction that I immediately fell in love with.
Right now they are running an absolutely incredible deal, where you can grab 2 free books when you sign up for a 30-day trial. If you hate it (you won't), you can cancel before you get billed, and keep the free books.
If you need other suggestions for Audible books, some of my favorites are The Name of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday, #AskGaryVee by Gary Vaynerchuk, and Ego is the Enemy, again by Ryan Holiday. All of these are books that have quite literally changed my life in some way.
If you're ready to choose your two free books, click the image below to head over to the Amazon sign up page.
De Novo Nutrition Utopia(n)
This is the most mind-blowing supplement I've ever taken – literally. This is like nothing else on the market.
Utopia(n) is not a pre-workout, it's a pre-work mental enhancer. De Novo is an incredible company that was started by Ben Esgro, one of the leading researchers in the field of strength and conditioning.
This product is simple, with proven ingredients, but the real magic is in the fact that the ingredients work beautifully together. It's not a strong stimulant that'll get you buzzing and then crash, but rather it enhances mental function.
Not in the tunnel-vision sort of way that some pre-workouts do, but it literally feels like your brain is firing on all cylinders. This is the closest supplement I've found to Adderall – although it works on a milder level, you definitely feel the effects.
There's not much else to say, but this is the real deal, and I highly suggest giving it a try sometime. This helps me absolutely dominate my work sessions.
De Novo Nutrition Utopia(n)
Athletic Greens
If you've been following me for a while, you know I love my Athletic Greens. I've always said it's the highest quality greens supplement out there, and I stand by it. Hell, they even made me into a meme.
At the end of the day, any high-quality greens product will do, but you get what you pay for, and this is the best one by far.
With fall coming, sickness is upon us, even here in Southern California. Not only does this make sure you're getting enough micronutrients, it's a hell of an immune system booster. Whether you take AG or something else, a greens product should be high on your list of priorities if you want to stay healthy this fall and winter.
Athletic Greens was kind enough to hook me up with a 50% off link for my readers, so if you want to give it a try, you can get half off your first order, and they'll even throw in some fish oil for you.

Octoberfest Beer
Ah yes, one of the many joys of fall. I'm not a huge beer drinker, but I absolutely love this time of year, when Octoberfest beers are out. I always attempt to try as many as I can, usually not in one night, but sometimes. You know how it goes.
Anyway, I can't really link to anything, since this is the internet and you need to go buy your beer at the store, but you're missing out if you drink alcohol and you haven't tried some good fall beers.
Sam Adams Octoberfest is always a reliable classic, and so far this year I've also really enjoyed Spaten Octoberfest, and Sierra Nevada Octoberfest as well. Beer snobs of the world, don't judge me for not knowing much about beer, just comment on this post with what I should try if you know of something.
Non-beer drinkers: Throw some Fireball whiskey in hard apple cider. You're welcome. If you don't drink alcohol at all, then just enjoy some apple cider and call it a day.
The Human Condition – Jon Bellion
So, Jon Bellion is an interesting guy.
He's very young – 25, at the time of writing this, and he's an absolutely incredible producer. You may know him as the guy who sings on "Beautiful Now" by Zedd.
His music may not be your cup of tea, but I absolutely love it, and his story is very inspirational. This kid grew up hustling, and wrote songs for artists like Kanye West and Jason DeRulo, all while trying to stay as anonymous as possible.
Once he started releasing his own music, he actually got signed to a record label, but made them keep it a secret for a while. He wanted to use their resources to make the music he wanted, not sell out and get huge right away. I don't know many people who would do this, but he did.
I've seen him a couple of times, and the last show I went to was a completely sold out show here in San Diego. Hours before the show, the line literally wrapped around the city – pretty damn impressive for a kid who's not yet a household name.
Because he didn't let the label release one single or promote him all over the radio, he has a seriously devoted fan group who know every single one of his songs, and would buy just about anything he releases. Not people who come out to hear the one or two big radio songs and then go home. He brings his friends and family on tour, doesn't let fame sway him, and just does his thing.
Oh yeah, he puts on one hell of a live show, and the guy literally never stops smiling and laughing during his high-energy set. He loves what he does, and he's reached success at a very young age, mostly due to the fact that he refused to sell out, and stayed true to his art.
Anyways, I've had this album on repeat for a while now, and I highly recommend you check it out – you can listen to it for free on Spotify.
So, what are you digging right now? Books, tv shows, movies – drop a comment and let me know, and I'll check it out!

We are currently working very hard to create our book and to get it into the world. You can now pre-order our book. Our first book focuses on the questions why archaeology systematically fails, and in detail how a series of massive cataclysms wiped away ancient civilizations.
Every civilization comes and goes with massive cataclysms which are not yet discovered by geologists, paleontologists, and archaeologists. We have identified four former civilizations over a time frame of more than 300,000 years. Civilizations were disrupted on a massive scale due to crustal deformations, an event that science has called "ice ages."
Mathematics is our guide and we have made our method accessible to anyone through our website. Our true antiquity is immensely deeper and wider than anyone could ever imagine before. Our website explains the essentials, while our book goes much deeper into details.
How to Order the Book
We like to know how large the first edition has to be. The final price depends on the size of the edition. If you have been one of our one-time or recurring donors, and you are interested to receive the book, your donation will be subtracted from the final book price. That means that some of our loyal donors will have our first book for free and some with a significant discount.
The specifications of our first book:
- size: A4 paper measures in at 210mm by 297mm (8.26″ by 11.69″).
- full color.
- around 200 pages.
Our book will be manufactured by a local professional and will be sent directly to you through insured tracking service. You can send me an e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) that you are interested to purchase our book. To get on our list of purchasers, we ask a prepayment of $25 USD together with your name and address. The book is to be published in the second quarter of 2020.

This plugin extends to Code block in WordPress core to add syntax highlighting which is rendered on the server. By performing the syntax highlighting on the server, there is then no need to enqueue any JavaScript on the frontend (e.g. Highlight.js or Prism.js) and this ensures there is no flash of unhighlighted code (FOUC?). Reducing script on the frontend improves frontend performance and it also allows for the syntax highlighted code to appear properly in AMP pages as rendered by the official AMP plugin (see also ampproject/amp-wp#972).
The extended Code block uses auto-detection for the language in the block to add syntax highlighting, but you can override the language in the block inspector. (There is currently no syntax highlighting of the Code block in the editor.) The plugin supports for all 185 programming languages that highlight.php supports (being a port of highlight.js).
Any one of 89 styles may be enqueued that highlight.php/highlight.js provide. To change the
default style, you may do so by picking a theme via Customizer in the Colors section. To override the
default style programmatically, use the
syntax_highlighting_code_block_style to supply the one of the style names, for example
add_filter( 'syntax_highlighting_code_block_style', function() { return 'github'; } );
When a filter is provided, the theme selector in Customizer is automatically disabled.
This plugin is developed on GitHub. See list of current issues with the plugin. Please feel free to file any additional issues or requests that you may come across. Pull requests are welcome to help extend.

For centuries Feyregg Castle has been a centre of culture and social life.
Feyregg is one of the most beautiful baroque palaces in Upper Austria. The castle is L-shaped with three square towers, the outer tower of which does not rise above the level of the hipped roof of the main building. The other two towers are substantially higher, the anterior tower being on the edge to the right of the two-storey central building. It is four floors high and built on a square base with a double-edged pyramid-shaped roof which ends in a knob. The courtyard has a lawn crisscrossed by gravel paths and is sheltered by a high wall on the two sides that are not flanked by buildings. There are two recessed gates in this wall. The first leads into what used to be the French Park and is today a market garden and the second gate gives access to the former outer ward. The residential building consists of two parts. There is the Palas of the old castle and the newer baroque construction between the Palas, the old tower and the stair tower. The latter hosts the guest rooms and the living rooms as well as the reception rooms of the present owner.
Please get in touch for more information.

Spathiphyllum 'Sensation' (0.3m)
Brown leaf tips are likely caused by over watering. Water thoroughly, but don't allow the soil to get soggy. It could also be caused by direct sun. Move it to a shadier spot and be careful not to over water. If the leaves become shriveled and dry, the humidity is too low. You can increase humidity by misting the plant or placing it on a tray of wet pebbles.
- Sunlight: Partial sunlight
- Water: Keep soil evenly moist. Use a pot with a drainage hole to prevent soggy soil, which can cause root rot.
- Fertiliser: Keep plant in top form by feeding the plants every few weeks with a dilute solution of liquid fertilizer.
- Plant size: approx. 32cm (vary in sizes)
- Rootball size: 18cm x 18cm
- Pot type: Plant comes in brown landscape pot (with drainage hole)
* Product photo shown is for reference only. Actual plant colour, type, size and arrangement may differ from photo.
* Kindly take note when you're purchasing matching pot, the diameter has to be larger than the rootball size

Soil for Potted Plants
Plants should be grown in fertilised potting mix. Make or buy a fertilised mix which consist of coco peat moss or coconut fiber (coir), vermiculite or perlite, compost and other ingredients. A lightweight soil for potted plants needs to provide good drainage, hold moisture, and give roots room to grow.
Light Requirements
All plants depend on light for their survival, and making sure your potted plants get the right amount of light is key to keeping them happy. For both indoor and outdoor containers, group plants with similar light requirements. Don't mix shade lovers with sun lovers in a single pot; one or both of them will be unhappy, depending on where you place the pot.

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration cited a Milwaukee metal stamp plant for 14 safety violations and proposed it pays penalties of $106,000 for the infractions. The plant was inspected due to an OSHA program that focused on facilities with higher-than-average illness and injury rates. Worker's compensation in Milwaukee, as in the state of Wisconsin is important for any people injured in similar unsafe environments. Programs such as the Site-Specific Targeting Program help protect all workers involved.
With worker's compensation in Milwaukee, the laws call for environments to be safe and precautions taken to protect workers from injuries or illness. Investigators said they found multiple machines in use lacking the proper guards used to protect workers. Investigators cited the plant with one willful violation for lack of machine guarding on metalworking machines, exposing workers to amputation hazards.
The plant received seven serious citations, four of those relating to a lack of machine guarding and the remaining three which included:
- inadequate lockout/tagout procedures training
- failing to certify periodic inspections of energy control procedures
It also received six other-than-serious violations, namely:
- failing to inspect slings prior to use
- lack of employee training on bloodborne pathogens initially and annually failing to certify powered industrial truck training records
- failing to perform pre-shift inspections of forklifts
- forklift nameplates were not legible.
The company has 15 business days to comply and pay the penalties, request an informal conference or contest the findings.
If you or your loved one has suffered an illness or injury due to workplace conditions, it is crucial to speak to an attorney well versed in worker's compensation in Milwaukee. Call today for your free, initial consultation.

The First World War wreaked devastation on a global scale, but 100 years on how much do young people today really know about this pivotal moment in history? Wanting to inspire young people to delve deeper into the events of the past and consider how this has shaped their own futures, we launched The Great War Debate for the Department for Education.
Taking place in key cities across the UK, this series of debates has so far seen nearly 100 world-leading experts bring to life fascinating topics for A level students, enhancing their history studies with social, political and strategic insights. As testament to the events' success to date, 90% of students rated the debate as good or very good, 76% stated that it motivated them to study history in the future and 97% of teachers would recommend the event to a colleague.
We create a regionally targeted PR campaign to secure pre-event coverage and media attendance at each event, offering interview opportunities with high profile chairs, students and teachers. Through this we exceeded attendance targets and secured coverage with top tier regional broadcast including BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Manchester and BBC Radio Somerset.

|Gillmor et al.
This application is a continuation-in-part of the U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 07/232,441 of David S. Breed filed Aug. 15, 1988 for "IMPROVED GAS DAMPED CRASH SENSOR"., now abandoned

(d) means for biasing said sensing mass toward said first location in said passage with an average force of more than 5 G's; and
(e) means for closing an electrical circuit when said sensing mass moves to said second location in said passage.
(a) a tubular passage;
(b) a sensing mass arranged to move in said passage in response to a vehicle crash, there being a tight clearance between said sensing mass and said passage such that the movement of said sensing mass with respect to said passage is damped by gas flow;
(c) a flexible first electrical contact;
(d) a second more rigid electrical contact in proximity to said first contact;
(e) means responsive to the movement of said sensing mass with respect to said passage for displacing said first contact toward said second contact causing said first and second contact to close an electrical circuit during a crash;
(f) means for biasing said sensing mass so as to maintain said first and second contacts in open relationship in the absence of a vehicle crash.
Gas damped crash sensors have become widely adopted by many of the world's automotible manufacturers to sense that a crash is in progress and to initiate the inflation of an air bag or tensioning of seat belts. Sensors constructed from a ball and a tube are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,974,350, 4,198,864; 4,284,863; 4,329,549 and 4,573,706 to D. S. Breed. A sensor constructed in the form of a rod with an attached coaxial disk, both arranged to move within a cylinder, is disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 4,536,629 to R. W. Diller.
Recently, it has been found that although the sensors disclosed in the Breed patents generally perform well during high speed crashes, their performance deteriorates significantly in marginal crashes especially when strong cross axis accelerations are present. One automobile manufacturer requires that the air bag not be deployed on crashes into barriers at 9 mph and always be deployed for crashes into barriers at 12 mph or above. When crash sensors are designed to meet this criterion, they perform well on laboratory shock test equipment. However, when placed on a vehicle and crash tested into a barrier at 12 mph the sensor frequently either does not trigger at all or triggers late. In the first case the occupant does not receive the protection of the air bag or belt tensioning device, and in the second case he/she is at risk of being injured by the deployment of the air bag.
It has been hypothesized and shown theoretically that there are some conditions where the sensing ball does not merely roll down one side of the tube but in fact undergoes a rather complicated whirling or orbiting motion. When this happens, a significant amount of energy is dissipated through sliding friction between the ball and the tube. This phenomenon has the effect of substantially delaying the motion of the ball and, on a marginal crash it can lead to a no-trigger or a late trigger condition.
This type of motion is caused by accelerations which are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the sensor tube. In the typical mounting arrangement, the sensor tube axis points toward the front of the vehicle and it is the accelerations in the vertical and lateral directions that can cause the whirling motion described above.
Cross axis vibrations have other undesirable effects, particularly on the electrical contact design currently used in gas damped ball-in-tube sensors. In particular, since the standard contact is a cantilevered beam, vibrations of the sensor can cause the contacts to vibrate resulting in several intermittent "tic" closures before solid contact is achieved. Similarly, when the contacts are first impacted by the sensing mass, (i.e. the ball) they frequently bounce one or more times. In one particular crash at 14 mph in which significant cross axis accelerations were present, the ball momentarily bridged the contacts causing a "tic" closure of insufficient duration to reliably trigger the air bag. Although this closure was on time, the air bag did not deploy until much later when a more solid contact closure occurred.
The ball-in-tube sensor currently in widespread use has a magnetic bias. Both ceramic and Alnico magnets are used depending upon the amount of variation in bias force caused by temperature that can be tolerated. Sensors used in the crush zone of the vehicle, and safing or arming sensors used both in the crush zone and out of the crush zone, can have ceramic magnets since they can tolerate a wide variation in bias force. Alnico magnets are used for the higher biased non-crush zone discriminating sensors where little variation in the bias can be tolerated. If a spring bias is employed in place of the magnetic bias as shown in the U.S. Pat. No. 4,580,810 to T. Thuen, the variation of the bias force with temperature can be practically eliminated. The use of a spring bias can also have the effect of reducing contact bounce and minimizing the effect of cross axis vibration on the contacts.
In the conventional ball-in-tube sensor, two cantilevered contacts are bridged by a gold plated ball. The gold plating is required to minimize the contact resistance between the ball and the contacts which are also gold plated. Gold is soft and easily damaged and the precise plating thickness and uniformity is difficult to control with the result that the dimensional tolerances of the ball can vary. This, in turn, affects the overall accuracy of the sensor. If the gold is eliminated from the ball, the cost of the ball may be substantially reduced and the accuracy of the sensor may be improved.
The thickness of the gold plating on the sensing ball is important from a corrosion viewpoint. A very thin coating of gold is all that is required to reduce the contact resistance. A thin coating, however, is porous and since gold has a different electromotive potential than the stainless steel ball, galvanic corrosion can take place if moisture is present in the sensor. Thus, a thick plating is preferred but this further increases the cost and reduces the dimensional accuracy of the ball. If the sensing mass, instead of bridging the contacts, is arranged to push one contact into another, the gold on the ball can be eliminated.
The U.S. Pat. No. 4,536,629 to R. W. Diller discloses a rod-in-cylinder gas damped crash sensor in which a contact spring is employed to provide a spring bias to the sensing mass. The U.S. Pat. No. 4,116,132 to Bell also uses a spring for bias. These sensors are also susceptable to contact bounce during operation.
The U.S. Pat. No. 4,329,549 to D. S. Breed discloses a biasing force of two to three G's applied to the sensing mass in a gas damped crash sensor. It indicates further that a biasing force of five G's need not be exceeded for such a crash sensor. However, a thorough study of vehicle crash libraries, has revealed that, when a crash sensor of this type is placed in the crush zone of a vehicle and is not located in the crush zone in certain marginal crashes, it will trigger too late and thus cause injuries to out-of-position occupants. For these marginal crashes, an occupant without deployment of an air bag will probably not be injured as seriously as by a late deploying bag. It is therefore desirable to make a crush zone sensor which does not trigger at all in these cases.
A crash sensor according to the invention is adapted for installation on an automotive vehicle equipped with a passenger protective device such as an inflatable air bag or seat belt tensioner. When such vehicle is subjected to deceleration of the kind accompanying a crash, the air bag is inflated to provide a protective cushion for the occupant or the seat belt is pulled back against the occupant holding him in a safe position.
A sensor constructed according to the invention comprises a housing adapted to be mounted on the vehicle in a position to sense and respond to deceleration pulses. Within the housing is a body containing a tubular passage in which is mounted a movable deceleration sensing mass. The mass is movable in response to a deceleration pulse above a threshold value from an initial position along a path leading to a normally open switch that is connected via suitable wiring to the operating mechanism of an inflatable air bag or seat belt tensioner.
A biasing spring or magnet acts on the deceleration sensing mass to bias the latter to its initial position under a preselected force which must be exceeded before the sensing mass may move from its initial position. When the sensing mass is subjected to a decleration creating an inertial force greater than the preselected biasing force, it moves from its initial position toward its air bag or seat belt tensioner operating position. Movement of the sensing mass is fluid damped, thereby delaying the motion of the sensing mass from its initial position to its operating position, during which time the deceleration must continue to exceed the bias force. Fluid damping is controlled by the clearance between the sensing mass, which in a preferred embodiment is a ball, and the tubular passage.
According to one feature of the present invention the magnet which is used as the biasing means for the sensing mass is brought into service to prevent contact bounce when the sensor is activated. In particular, the electrical contacts are constructed of magnetically permeable material and means are provided in the sensor to concentrate the magetic flux originating from the magnet through the electrical contacts when the sensing mass is moved to the contact-actuating location. The electrical contacts are thereby mutually attracted to each other and will remain closed once they come in contact.
According to another feature of the invention, it has been discovered that increasing the biasing force from 2 or 3 G's of the conventional gas damped sensors to approximately 6 G's can solve the late-firing problems present in the conventional sensors, without affecting the sensitivity of the sensor for other crashes. Preferably, the level of the biasing force for crush zone crash sensors is increased to greater than 5 G's and, more particularly, to the range of within 5-10 G's.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a contact design for a vehicle crash sensor which eliminates contact bounce.
It is another object of this invention to utilize the magnetic field which is present in a magnetically biased crash sensor to cause one contact to be held against a second contact when the sensor triggers.
It is another object of this invention to utilize one contact as a biasing force against the ball which is pushed into a second, more rigid contact in a vehicle crash sensor, thus eliminating both contact bounce and the magnet.
It is a further object of this invention to devise a smaller, simpler and less expensive vehicle crash sensor.
It is an additional object of this invention to eliminate the need for gold pating on the sensing mass of a vehicle crash sensor.
It is still another object of this invention to provide a level of higher biasing force than is previously known in damped crush zone sensors to eliminate the late firing problems of such crash sensors on marginal crashes.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 8 is a graph showing marginal curves of gas-damped crash sensors with different levels of bias.
Apparatus constructed in accordance with the invention as illustrated generally in FIG. 1, is adapted for use in conjunction with an automotive vehicle or truck (not shown) and is accommodated within a closed, metallic housing 1 having a mounting bracket 2 by means of which the housing can be secured to the vehicle. Extending from and secured to the housing is one end of an insulating sheath 3 within which are electrical conductors 4 and 5 that form part of an electrical circuit as disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 4,329,549 to D. S. Breed. The interior configuration of the housing 1 is complementary to the sensor apparatus so as to snugly retain the latter within the housing. Frequently the housing is filled with epoxy or a sand and epoxy mixture to further retain and seal the sensor within the housing. In other cases, the housing is hermetically sealed.
The sensor apparatus is designated generally by reference number 6 in FIG. 2, and comprises a body 7 formed of suitable plastic material and having a cylinder 8 closed at one end by a wall 9. At the other end of the body is an enlarged cylinder skirt 10 defining a cylindrical chamber 11. Communicating with the chamber 11 is a bore 12. The inner surface of the end wall 9 is provided with a semi-spherical, concave seat 15. Fitted into the bore 12 is a metallic sleeve 16 having a smooth inner surface forming a tubular passage 17 and on the outer diameter, midway along the sleeve, is a groove 13 in which is accommodated a rubbery sealing and vibration isolating ring 14 which also holds the sleeve in place.
Accommodated within the passage 17 is a spherical, magnetically permeable, electrically conductive sensing mass 18, the radius of which corresponds substantially to that of the seat 15 and the diameter of which is slightly less than that of the tubular passage 17. Between the ball 18 and the tubular passage 17 is a tight clearance 20. When the ball moves along the passage, a pressure difference is created between two sides of the ball due to the resistance experienced by the gas in passing through the tight clearance. This gas flow is a mixture of both viscous and inertial flow, and it is mainly controlled by the clearance of the sensor. The pressure difference thus applies a resistant damping force on the ball.
Fixed in the cylinder 11 is a cylindrical plug 19 formed of electrically insulating material, the plug being fixed in the chamber in any suitable manner, such as by cement, by ultrasonic welding, by crimping the rim of the skirt, or a combination thereof.
Means are provided for applying a magnetic biasing force on the sensing mass 18, such means comprise an annular magnet 32 having a hole 34 therethrough in which is received a mounting ferrule 35 forming a part of the body 7 and projecting beyond the wall 9. The magnet 33 may be maintained snugly in abutting relation with the body wall 9 by outwardly swaging or expanding the free end of ferrule 35.
To condition the apparatus for operation, the sensor mechanism is fitted into the housing 1 shown in FIG. 1 and the latter is fixed to a vehicle with the longitudinal axis of the passage 17 parallel or at a predetermined angle to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the circuitry connected to the sensor. The sensor 74 in this case is arranged in the circuit with the conductors 4 and 5 connected to the vehicle battery 70, the restraint operating instrumentality 71, the restraint apparatus 72 and the circuit grounding 73. The contacts 27 and 28 inside the sensor 74 close the circuit when the sensor is triggered.
The magnet will exert a magnetically attractive force on the sensing mass 18 so as to normally retain the latter in an initial, inactive position on the seat 15 at the closed end of the passage 17.
If the vehicle on which the sensor is mounted is traveling in the direction of the arrow A (FIG. 1), the sensing mass 18 will remain in its position until such time as the vehicle experiences a deceleration pulse greater than the biasing force exerted on the mass 18 by the magnet 33. If such deceleration pulse is of sufficient magnitude and duration, the sensing mass 18 will move from the position shown in FIG. 2 to an operating position, shown in FIG. 4, in which the mass causes contacts 27 and 28 to contact and complete the electrical circuit, shown in FIG. 7, from the energy source (battery) 70 to the operating instrumentality 71 so as to activate the restraint device 72.
Contacts 27 and 28 are made from a magnetically permeable material. In the presence of a magnetic field the contacts 27 and 28 will therefore bend toward each other closing the circuit in the manner of conventional reed switches. When the ball 18 moves to a position adjacent to contacts 27 and 28, the magnetic flux lines travel between the ball 18 and the left end 41 of the magnetic circuit element 40. This concentration of flux lines caused by the ball designated by lines 42 in FIG. 4 causes contacts 27 and 28 to bend towards each other making contact.
When the ball 18 returns to the seat 15 at the end of a crash, the concentration of flux lines is removed and contacts 27 and 28 spread apart.
This arrangement eliminates contact bounce since once the two contacts make contact, the magnetic force holding them together exceeds the magnetic force needed to cause initial contact. Thus an hysteresis effect exists.
Although contacts 27 and 28 shown in FIG. 2 are illustrated as being mounted in the sensor header, an alternative approach would be to make use of a standard reed switch 29 enclosed in glass as shown in FIG. 4. Here, contacts 27' and 28' perform in the same manner as contacts 27 and 28 in FIG. 2.
An alternate preferred embodiment of the sensor is shown in FIG. 5 generally as 100. A contact spring 107 presses on the ball providing the necessary bias. Two terminals 108 and 109 are extended outside of the sensor 100 to be connected to the circuitry of the vehicle. The contact spring 107 is connected to one of the terminals 109. During a crash, the ball 118 moves toward the front of the vehicle to the left in FIG. 5; however, its motion is opposed by the contact biasing force and a difference in pressure across the ball 118. This pressure differential is gradually relieved by the flow of the gas through the clearance 120 between the ball 118 and the cylinder 117. The tight clearance 120 provides a damping effect on the motion of the sensing mass. The force exerted by the contact spring 107 against the ball at all times exceeds the inertial forces caused by vibrations acting on the contact. Thus, the contact 107 always physically touches the ball 118. If the crash is of sufficient severity, ball 118 moves to the left sufficiently to bend contact spring 107 to touch contact 108, completing the electrical connection and initiating the safety apparatus as shown in FIG. 6. Since the contact 108 is rigid and the contact 107 is pressed against the ball, neither contact will vibrate and thus solid contact closure results.
In both embodiments shown herein, the sensing mass is not part of the electrical circuit. Therefore, the need for gold on the sensing mass has been eliminated resulting in a less expensive and more accurate sensor. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the need for the magnet is also eliminated resulting in a much smaller and simpler sensor. Also, since only a single contact is made, instead of the bridging of two contacts as in the conventional ball-in-tube sensor, the size of the sensing mass can be reduced, while maintaining the same contact pressure and further reducing the size and cost of the sensor.
As will be evident to those skilled in the art, other types of sensors could make use of the present invention for improved contact closures. placed in the crush zone of a vehicle. The crush zone is that portion of the vehicle which undergoes significant plastic deformation during an accident and where both longitudinal and cross axis vibrations are of signficant magnitude and can seriously effect the sensor behavior in marginal crashes.
In a paper "Trends in Sensing Frontal Impacts" by D. S. Breed and V. Castelli, to be presented on Feb. 27, 1989 at SAE 1989 Symposium, the importance of placing the crush zone sensor in the crush zone is discussed and illustrated. As soon as the sensor is moved back to a location that might reasonably represent the location of a front center crush zone sensor relative to an angular impact, the sensor begins to fire late on a significant number of pulses. These are mostly marginal pulses in which it would be better for the sensor not to fire at all than to fire late. Based on the study of a car crash library, it has been discovered that a standard crush zone sensor with a bias of 2-3 G's triggers late for a number of pulses between 12 and 16 MPH. A significant improvement can be made in a viscous damped sensor by increasing the bias to the range of within 5-10 G's to reduce the incidence of sensor triggering on long duration pulses which are indicative of the sensor not being in the crush zone.
FIG. 8 shows the triggering curves for a gas-damped, crash sensor arranged in the crush zone of a vehicle. In the region below each curve, the sensor does not fire; crash parameters located above each curve cause firing of the sensor. If a sensor is allowed to fire later than about 30 milliseconds after the beginning of a crash pulse the resulting deployment of the occupant restraint system may cause harm to the occupant.
As may be seen, a gas-damped crash sensor with a 2.2 G bias can easily fire substantially later than 30 ms provided that a relatively mild crash pulse continues for this period. If the bias is increased to above 5 G's, as indicated by a second curve in FIG. 8, the possibility of late firing is eliminated for all crashes except those which continue to be severe or for which the crash pulse continues due to a secondary collision. Bias levels above about 10 G's do not permit effective crash sensing even in the low (1-30 ms) region as indicated by the third curve in FIG. 8. However, the paramaters of a sensor, such as the clearance between the sensing mass and the cylinder or the travel of the sensing mass, can be adjusted to obtain the required sensitivity when the bias level is changed. Therefore, the sensor performance is not restricted to the curves shown in FIG. 8 by the increase of the bias level.
There has thus been shown and described an improved gas damped crash sensor which fulfills all the objects and advantages sought therefor. Many changes, modifications, variations and other uses and applications of the subject invention will, however, become apparent to those skilled in the art after considering this specification and the accompanying drawings which disclose the preferred embodiments thereof. All such changes, modifications, variations and other uses and applications which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are deemed to be covered by the invention which is limited only by the following claims.

Overcoming the Everyday—Deliberately
How to Keep Your Career Energized and Moving in the Right Direction
Every day, we're each presented with a sequence of opportunities in our working lives. The decisions we make in the office—from the way we approach our peers to how we handle a project crisis—allow us to drive our careers in the direction of our choosing. Even then, it's easy to fall into routines that allow us to slip into mediocre (or, sadly, bad) habits.
To help you keep your career as invigorated and inspired as possible—and to avoid slipping into what's comfortable and easy—we've outlined a few key elements of Anders Ericsson's "deliberate practice" theory below, so you can better utilize this concept in your daily life.1
What Is Deliberate Practice?
For those who aren't familiar with his work, Anders Ericsson is a professor of psychology at Florida State University, whose research on peak performance and gaining expertise has received critical acclaim.1 Usually applied to athletes, artists, scholars and similar "outside-of-the-norm" pursuits, his work explores the ways people can achieve greatness overall and in their fields.
However, the concept of deliberate practice is apt for all professionals seeking to perform at their personal highest level—from salespersons and marketers to human resources representatives and entrepreneurs.
Essentially, deliberate practice is a focused effort to increase expertise in a given area through practice that pushes one outside of their comfort zone, which often requires a mentor who can monitor their growth and suggest ways to excel.2
The theory is simple, yet its potential results can be monumental.
How to Step Outside Your Comfort Zone
Use our suggestions below to help guide you as you start to step outside of your comfort zone and integrate deliberate practice into your life:2
Slow down.
Working faster doesn't mean you're producing better quality work. In fact, it often leads to careless mistakes. Slow your pace down to give yourself more control of your work, so you can ensure what you do is valuable.
Put it on paper.
According to recent studies, you're 42 percent more likely to achieve the goals that you actually write down.3 This means writing down your goals the old fashioned way—with pen, paper and your hand—actually helps actualize your intentions. If you commute to work on the bus or train, consider making your To Do list on your way to work, so you're focused and ready to go when you arrive.
Ask for feedback.
This is where the mentorship aspect comes into play. Your mentor should be someone who you respect and admire and whose honest feedback you value and can rely on. A great mentor can help you evaluate your performance, provide suggestions on how you can improve, and help measure your progress.
Find your weakness.
What is it that's standing in your way and keeping you from achieving your goals? What feedback have you been told over and over again? Once you've identified your biggest weakness, you can work toward strengthening your performance in these areas, so it becomes less of a roadblock to your success. With time and your mentor's patience, you can start to catch these mistakes yourself.
Keep doing what you're doing.
The difference between meaningless repetition and deliberate practice is that you're deliberately adjusting your actions to consistently improve your performance. Find your flaws and keep them in mind as you move forward. That's the key to reaching your end goal: gradually making yourself improve everything you do by maintaining a personal awareness.
How Can It Benefit My Career?
For professionals, the ability to expand their expertise through articulated guidelines is an opportunity that could affect careers, companies and consumers for the better. Many professionals have the desire to be great at what they do.
However, expertise and greatness can seem like arcane and abstract concepts without a tangible set of steps to achieve them. This is the true value of deliberate practice for your career: By outlining the behavior and mentality needed to be great, deliberate practice forces you to step outside of what's normal or routine in your work life and try something new.
For many of us, we don't necessarily attach words like greatness to our work life. But why not? Why not seek to be truly great in the office?
Whether or not you feel that Ericsson's method of deliberate practice is right for you, pushing yourself past your normal limits and trying out new tactics can help you discover and develop a new perspective on your work life. Stepping outside of your comfort zone is never an easy feat, but remember, it doesn't have to happen overnight. Take the time you need to consider how deliberate practice might fit into your life and how it could impact your career.
