Home : Home : Warfare Centers : NSWC Indian Head EOD Technology : Partnerships : Technology Transfer : FAQs
Why is it now important for the Navy to transfer its technology to the private sector?
The Administration, the U.S. Congress, and the Navy are putting greater emphasis on transferring Navy-developed technology and expertise to U.S. industry to increase U.S. industrial competitiveness, to create U.S. jobs, and to create capital. Emphasis is being placed both on transfer of technology for mission application with industry and for dual-use applications with industry.
Whom do I contact to receive further information on a particular Navy technology?
Contact the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD) , Navy ORTA representative at (301)744-6111.
What is a CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement)?
The Technology Innovation Act authorizes the Navy to work with industry to conduct mutually beneficial R&D. For information about a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) please contact the Office of Technology Transfer at (301)744-6111.
Is a model CRADA available? If so, how is it obtained?
A model CRADA is available.
How long does it take for a CRADA to be negotiated and signed by Navy officials?
Usually about 2-4 weeks. However, delays of 3 or 4 months have occurred in obtaining a company's corporate office approval.
Are discussions with Navy personnel kept confidential so that my competitor cannot learn of company secrets and/ or new product development, particularly under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)?
Navy personnel will not reveal any company proprietary information and, to the extent permitted by law, will protect any proprietary information developed under the agreement. Proprietary information developed under CRADAs may be protected from release under the FOIA for as long as it meets the definition of proprietary information as provided in the CRADA agreement. This protection is authorized by a provision of the Technology Innovation Act.
What can the Navy and what can my company contribute under a CRADA; i.e., money, man-hours, materials, facilities, and services?
The Navy can contribute all of the items mentioned, except the transfer of funds to the company. The company can contribute all of the items mentioned. The contributions of each party are negotiated by the Navy and the company.
What are the most important conditions for a successful technology transfer agreement with the Navy?
Have a "champion" (a strong supporter) for the project on both sides, thus effectively linking "technology push" and "technology pull." It is highly desirable for the Navy champion to be the researcher developing the technology.
Will the Navy grant an exclusive license(s) for particular Navy technology(ies)?
Yes. In general, there are certain statutory limitations on the granting of exclusive licenses by the Government. A CRADA grants the CRADA partners an option to acquire an exclusive license to the Government's interest in any invention made under the CRADA.
Will my company be given a license to all, or only particular fields of use, of a patented Navy technology under a licensing agreement?
Depending on the company's license application, all or only particular fields of use will be provided under a licensing agreement. If your company is the only one trying to license a technology from the Navy, your company may be able to get the kind of coverage it wants if you have a good commercialization plan and the demonstrated wherewithal to carry it out.
What happens if another company is also interested in the same technology that my company wants to commercialize?
There are a number of possibilities: a non-exclusive license can be provided to each company; an exclusive license can be given to each company for different fields of use, if appropriate; or, the Navy can request proposed commercialization plans (PCP's) from all interested companies, review and evaluate their plans, select the best plan, and an exclusive license can be provided to the selected company.
Are model licenses available? If so, how are they obtained?
Model licenses are available. Contact the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD) , Navy ORTA representative at (301)744-6111.
Is there a list of Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD) patents and patent applications which are available for licensing?
Yes. The list is available from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD), Navy ORTA representative at (301) 744-6111.
How long does the patent licensing process take, and what will it cost me in up-front money?
The process takes about 3-4 months after receipt of your application for license. (This includes a mandatory publication period of 2 months for exclusive licenses, during which a member of the public can file a written objection.) Up front license fees are generally set to provide the licensee with an incentive to diligently pursue the terms of the license agreement.
Does the Navy enter into confidentiality agreements with prospective commercial partners to facilitate the exchange of technical information?
Yes, and models of such agreements are available from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD), Navy ORTA representative at (301) 744-6111.
What are typical royalty rates that the Navy requires under a license agreement?
Royalty rates paid to the Navy in a license agreement are negotiable and vary depending on the type of license (exclusive or non-exclusive) and a number of other factors. Rates typically reflect a percentage of the net selling price for each royalty bearing product made, used, or sold by the licensee.
Who receives patent rights to technologies developed under a CRADA?
The company will receive title to the invention if a company employee makes the invention. The Navy will receive title to the invention if a Navy employee makes the invention. In both cases the inventing partner grants to the other partner a nonexclusive, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice the invention or have that invention practiced throughout the world on behalf of the non-inventing partner. Both the Navy and a company shall have title, in the form of an undivided interest, on jointly made inventions. One of the main strengths and benefits of CRADAs are that intellectual property rights are predetermined prior to the initiation of any work.
Can industry or individuals use Navy facilities, and is there a charge for the usage?
Industry or individuals can use Navy facilities on a space-available basis. Should the research to be conducted be of interest to the Navy, there would be no charge. However, the results could eventually be published by the Navy. Should a company or individual not want the results published by the Navy, they may have to pay for the use of the facility.
Must the data resulting from a company's tests in a Navy facility be made public?
No; if the company pays the total cost associated with use of the facility, the data will not be made public.
How can I enter into a cost/ resource sharing arrangement with the Navy for research and technology development?
Cooperative Agreements with profit-making firms are now authorized. Specific questions may be addressed to the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD), Navy ORTA representative at (301) 744-6111.
Will the Navy conduct research to assist a company to solve its technical problems or improve its products?
If the Navy has technology available that would be useful to the company, Navy employees would be pleased to discuss its applications to the company's need. Under a CRADA, a joint development effort could be conducted if the Navy has interest in the research.*
*Federal laws, regulations, and policies may apply to participation in certain activities. Such a determination will be made on a case-by-case basis depending upon the identity of the party and the nature of the proposed activity.
If you have other questions, please contact us 301-744-6111.

Think of this as a sort of Italian mole -- it resembles that famous Mexican specialty in that it's a savory meat dish served in a rich, complex sauce made with a somewhat surprising ingredient: dark chocolate.
This traditional Tuscan recipe dates back to the Renaissance and -- since wild boar can be very difficult to find in the United States -- you can substitute any type of hearty game meat (such as venison or rabbit) or, lacking that, stew beef or pork shoulder. If using wild boar or other game meat, it needs to marinate for 48 hours -- with other meats, such a long marination time is optional.
It's a great Sunday supper dish for cold weather, or an impressive dinner party main dish, and it can be served with creamy polenta, mashed potatoes, wide buttered egg noodles or a wide pasta such as pappardelle.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, bring all of the marinade ingredients to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool completely. Submerge the chopped raw meat in the marinade and refrigerate, covered, for 48 hours.
Strain the meat and vegetables out of the liquid (retaining the marinade liquid). Separate meat from vegetables and discard vegetables and bay leaf.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the garlic in the olive oil just until it turns lightly golden. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and saute until vegetables are softened and onion is transparent, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the chili pepper flakes and saute for another 30 seconds. Stir in the prosciutto and saute for about 1 minute.
Pat the pieces of meat with a paper towel until dried well, then add to the pot and stir just until browned. Pour in the strained marinade liquid and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the bay leaf. prunes and sugar and return to a simmer. Cover and let simmer over low heat until meat is very tender, about 2 hours.
When meat is tender, stir in the orange zest, raisins, pine nuts, and grated chocolate. Stir until chocolate is melted and all ingredients are well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, as necessary.
Serve over creamy bowls of polenta, sprinkled with finely chopped fresh parsley.

Book Review – Junkie Wife
Junkie Wife
by Alexis Rhone Fancher
by Julianne Carew
Fiction Editor
From the collection's dedication page, which ominously states, "No names were changed. No one was innocent," to its last line, Junkie Wife, written by Alexis Rhone Fancher, tactfully illustrates the affects addiction has on an individual, as well as the relationships it inadvertently creates.
In "Flirting with Death—A Love Poem," Fancher begins with the phrase, "In love with the rush. Not the high," which establishes a stark, matter-of-fact approach to a life lived on the fringes of society. By using colloquial language laced with blunt, in-your-face imagery, Fancher successfully portrays a set of multifaceted characters that, for the most part, remain anonymous. The one to whom we can only assume is the "junkie wife," is never directly named, nor is the child prostitute, or the Armenian drug dealer, or the lovers on the beach. Vicki, the main character's former best friend whose "blood [later] splattered the bone white walls like a Pollack," and Dr. Tim, who tells the main character she "looks like a million bucks," even as she fingers a razor blade in her pocket, serve as intrusions to the main character's drug-induced haze, and remind readers of the blurred reality in which she is living.
Nowhere in Junkie Wife is there an excess of words. Each line is intentional, and takes the reader on a fast-paced downward spiral of self-destruction. Perhaps one of the most symbolic pieces of poetry is "Divorce Court Barbie (Ken Drives Away With All My Things)." In this piece, the main character essentially summarizes the exploits of her marriage, using tongue-in-cheek descriptions for herself such as "Bad Luck Barbie" and "The one Ken swears he wouldn't love if I were the last Girl on Earth Barbie." By comparing Mattel's iconic Barbie with the bleak realities of her character's shattered life, Fancher makes a statement about the unrealistic narratives women are taught as children, as well as makes reference to her characters inability to ignore these stereotypes with which she compares herself.
Junkie Wife is as addicting as it is honest. Fancher's minimalistic style and slice-of-life formatting leave readers wanting more, her words a drug, in and of themselves.

Poetry Book Review: "Babbage's Dream" by Neil Aitken
Babbage's Dream Book Review
by Julianne Carew, Fiction Editor
The East Jasmine Review
Full of quotations, Bible verses, definitions, and intimate portrayals of the man who can arguably be hailed the founder of the digital age, Babbage's Dream, written by Neil Aitken, is no ordinary collection of poetry. It is a poetic testament to the interdisciplinary studies of mathematics and humanity, religion and technology, and one man's revolutionary passion in quantifying a seemingly intangible universe.
In today's digitized world of instantaneous communication and innumerable social media platforms, it is easy to get lost in the vast coding of data that we have come to know as cyberspace. But before there was Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, there was Charles Babbage, the inventor of the first mechanical computer. It is through the influence of Babbage's life and work that Aitken draws his poetic inspiration.
Before the collection's opening poem, "Begin," Neil Aitken introduces readers to a quote by William Carlos Williams that summarizes his take on the work that follows. "A poem is a large, (or small) machine made out of words." Beginning with this opening statement, Aitken is already emphasizing a close relationship between artistic expression and technological advances. He is making it clear that throughout his collection of poetry, each word is, in itself, a piece of a greater whole, a small, yet essential part of a literary machine that works to make sense of man's relationship with that which he has created.
In his poem, "Binary," Aitken juxtaposes computer code, a combination of zeros and ones, with language, in a successful attempt to display how seemingly random, inconsequential patterns create the blueprint for the computerized world. "0000," becomes, "Absence stretched to extremity, nothingness in all quarters." "0001," becomes, "at the far reaches of a void, a glimmer." By personifying data code with descriptive human emotions, Aitken bridges the gap between man and machine, art and technological discovery, and gives precedence to the system on whose back the modern world operates.
In addition to drawing parallels between a wide range of topics, Neil Aitken uses a variety of literary techniques to further solidify his idea that art and science, religion and culture, are each mechanisms through which man creates meaning out of the chaos of the universe. In his poem, "Void," Aitken utilizes an alteration on the cut-up technique, first introduced by the early 1960's writer, William S. Burroughs.
"Of those machines //the mind of gears, the heart, a spring
by which we produce power//ever-winding, a chorus of marionettes…"
By using two different columns that can be read both independently, and as two pieces of a whole, Aitken reiterates the crucial emotional and physical space technology has overtaken in our modern world.
Due to its broad subject matter and harmonious artistic rhythm, Babbage's Dream can easily be devoured in one sitting. Much like the spark of genius that propelled the centuries' subsequent scientific breakthroughs, Aitken's poems are each a blazing testament to the elasticity of the human mind, the seamlessness through which various fields of study attribute within themselves, and an invaluable reminder that all people, thoughts, and ideas are each a crucial piece, solidifying a never-ending whole.

Book Review: Clifton Snider's "The Beatle Bump"
Book: The Beatle Bump by Clifton Snider
Reviewer: K. Andrew Turner
The Beatle Bump, by Clifton Snider (Los Nietos Press), is a work of adoration, contemplation, and emulation. Written mostly after the murder of John Lennon, Snider explores the playful lyrical style of the Beatles in his own songs. He digs into the roots of the Beatles, how they started and who influenced them. But above all, this is an ode from a fan to the musicians themselves.
Through exploration, Snider brings up letters that would not be out of place in the here and now. Love letters to Ringo and George, by fans that want nothing more than recognition and that ardor returned. Perhaps looking into our pop culture boy bands of the last few years: One Direction, N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, Boyz II Men, etc will yield similar letters. All these bands have their loyal followers, their fans that scream and shout and oftentimes lay bare their feelings freely, and some say excessively. Perhaps the only thing that has changed is our attitude for those women (in particular) that simply throw themselves at these stars. Snider never judges these Beatlemaniacs, as his poetry feels right on the edge of the precipice. He understands why we fawn over such innocent-seeming men and why they pull us in with magnetism.
Each poem reflects hours of listening to music, absorbing, jamming along, and feeling in those deep moments spent late at night wondering just how someone so far away, so distant could "get" you. In some of the song forms, he playful enters the arena of lyrics riffing on some of the nonsense but provocative stylistic choices.
And Snider reflects on the darkness that follows each Beatle around, from drugs to loss, and death. He explores, throughout the book, how he was affected by each Beatle, by the band as a whole, and by the world-wide impact the band had. In the later poems, when he explores Liverpool, with each snap of the camera and each line of the poem, the reader comes to understand, full-circle, the brilliance and the nostalgic pangs of a young man desperate to connect to something that so powerfully impacted him.
This work is phenomenal in and of itself, and any fan of the Beatles, or music history in general, should pick up a copy. Those who have been transfixed by music or any fan of a band will understand the deeper meanings here as well.

Mészáros Ervin (Budapest, 1877. április 2. – Budapest, 1940. május 21.) olimpiai bajnok magyar vívó.

Sportpályafutása
1894-től 1927-ig a Magyar AC vívója volt. Kard- és tőrvívásban egyaránt versenyzett, de nemzetközi szintű eredményeit kardvívásban érte el. Tizenkilenc évesen megnyerte a Budapesten, 1896-ban rendezett millenniumi kardversenyt.  Az 1904-es és 1908-as olimpián nem indulhatott, mert a bécsi hadügyminisztérium a monarchia tisztjeit nem engedte magyar színekben versenyezni. 1912-től 1926-ig szerepelt a magyar vívóválogatottban. Az 1912. évi nyári olimpiai játékokon, Stockholmban tagja volt a Berty László, Földes Dezső, Fuchs Jenő, Gerde Oszkár, Mészáros Ervin, Schenker Zoltán, Tóth Péter, Werkner Lajos összeállítású, olimpiai bajnokságot nyert magyar kardcsapatnak. Az olimpia kard egyéni versenyén – Fuchs Jenő és Békessy Béla mögött – a bronzérmet szerezte meg. 1925-ben az ostendei Európa-bajnokságon negyedik helyezést ért el.

Sportpályafutása közben a budapesti egyetemen jogot hallgatott, majd egy honvédtiszti tanfolyam elvégzése után a Magyar Királyi Honvédségnél szolgált. Legmagasabb rangja honvéd százados volt. A Magyar Vívószövetség tiszteletbeli elnökségi tagja volt.

Testvére Mészáros Lóránt vívó volt.

Sporteredményei
 kardvívásban:
 olimpiai bajnok (csapat: 1912)
 olimpiai 3. helyezett (egyéni: 1912)

Argentina has been recently in the world media. Again, because of a crisis. The Argentinian Peso is one of worst performing currencies in the world. And in the last couple of months, it devaluated approximately 50% against the US Dollar.
However, this economic setback is definitely not the whole story about what is going on in the South American country. Paraphrasing Dickens, we can say that it is the best of times, it is the worst of times.
So, what are the reasons to be optimistic about my country?
An analysis of the last decade of elections shows that support for peronism is declining. And a majority of people is ready to vote for an alternative to peronism provided that they seem reasonable and with certain capacity for political maneuver.
It is very interesting what is happening not only at the national level but particularly at the level of the Province of Buenos Aires.
After so many years of populist mismanagement, the economic decadence — and frustration — is palpable. The defeated presidential candidate Daniel Scioli ran a campaign in 2015 promising to build sewers for the population. Yet Mr. Scioli himself was governor of Buenos Aires for eight years and his party was in office in that province between 1987 and 2015. Twenty-eight years, apparently, were not enough for Peronism to solve the sewage situation.
At La Matanza, for example, almost 40% of its 2.2 million inhabitants are poor, there are 114 villages and half of the streets are dirt roads. In fact, 50% of the marginality of the country is concentrated in Greater Buenos Aires.
After 70 years of political predominance, the decadence caused by Peronism is palpable and is visible to all. It is seen in the dirt streets, the miserable living conditions of millions of children, the explosion of slums, the aberrant marginality of the suburbs, the feudalization of the northern provinces, the fall in the levels of life and wealth -and not only against the most developed countries but against our neighbors in the region, technological backwardness, rampant corruption. The list could be almost endless.
The once mighty Peronist party is today reduced to a feeble league of northern feudal lords and the most pauperised suburban belt of the province of Buenos Aires. It may be that the excesses of former president Cristina Kirchner marked the pinnacle of the Peronist power and the start of its decline.
The current president, Mauricio Macri, went to elections offering a clear anti-populist alternative. He won in an election that was as surprising and shocking as Brexit and Trump. He did very well in all sectors of society, including the worse-off.
The surprise that Macri's election provoked among pundits, pollsters, and even the business community could (and should) be attributed to underlying tendencies within Argentine society. These tendencies are not yet fully appreciated. It could be the case that Macri's victory is a symptom of something much deeper. Namely, that Argentinians have had enough of populism.
I am a Board Member of Red por la Libertad (Liberty Network). It is an umbrella organizations which gathers think tanks, foundations, student groups etc. that promote Classical Liberalism in Argentina. We have identified more than 50 (in different stages of development, of course). But 50! It's a very good number and show how vital the Liberty Movement is in the country.
There's also nationwide effort to create a Libertarian Party in Argentina. What's more, they are currently having talks with very high profile people to have a very strong presidential candidate in 2019.
Attendance to liberal and libertarian events is increasing. In August Fundación Internacional Bases organized the 7th edition of the International Conference "The Austrian School of Economics in the 21st Century." Hundreds of people participated – most of them very young. In this regard, student groups like Estudiantes por la Libertad – Argentina are carrying out a magnificent work in empowering and introducing the new generations to Liberty.
Moreover, Argentina has great quality and quantity of Liberal Public Intellectuals. By this I mean individuals who are regularly consulted by the media, who write op-eds for the biggest newspapers, who are on tv, and have massive social media following. People who are known outside the liberal circles. Guys who, in a nutshell, my grandmother would know.
Well, we have plenty of those. Every time there's a hot economic issue, you can find a liberal in each and every tv channels. Their videos go viral in social media, the same as their memes.
And we have Javier Milei, who is a Rockstar. Milei is a media sensation and has single-handedly taken the libertarian message way beyond its typical recipients. Milei is engaging a new generation of young people who want to hear more about freedom and are fed up with the old and failed recipes of the past.
Why? Because liberalism is the Counter-Culture. If today you want to rebel against the established, you want to free yourself from what your professors, your parents and all the old people around you tell you, the only way you have left is to become liberal. Liberalism, which goes far beyond the economic, is the most countercultural thing you can find in Argentina today. With liberalism you are going to bother almost everyone – even Pope Francis himself.
In this sense, the left is a victim of its own success. They managed to control every aspect of our culture. And that deprives it of being attractive as an alternative. It can no longer be opposition to the establishment because it is The Establishment.
Thus, liberalism not only offers the best ideas but has also the strength of what's new and challenging. There are more and more liberal kids because liberalism grows in the same social interstices in which young people feel comfortable. Prohibited books, social networks, youtube, memes, podcasts and non-traditional media.
Unfortunately, from politicians, the state, the government, and the taxman, not the best news are coming out. And a lot has to do with the mistakes of the current government.
Since they've got in office, the government announced that their policy will be a one of "Gradualism." Changes will happen. Some reform will be implemented. But almost in homeopathic doses. Aldo Abram, a prestigious economists, has claimed that in economics instead of gradualism what we've had so far has been "Inmobilism." No change at all.
So-called "disability" pensions are a great example of this lack of reform zeal.
Needless to say, this is an obvious fraud. However, the government has done nothing about it.
The same could be said about the fight against inflation. The timid advance of 2017 in which inflation was reduced to just27 per cent has been decimated by this year's rate – which will be in the vicinity of 40 per cent.
Deficits have historically been a problem. Mauricio Macri's government did nothing at all to solve this situation. In fact, his deficits are even worse than Cristina's!
Since the government of Cambiemos (Let's Change) took office, the instrument they used in order to pay for gradualism and deficits was debt. And markets were extremely open-handed with Argentina for about two years.
However, starting in March this year, a brutal devaluation of the peso occurred. Why?
As my friend Iván Cachanosky explains, the crisis can divided in three stages. First, in mid-March of this year the international context changed. Then, the country suffered a problem in the supply of dollars. Finally, the demand for pesos began to fall sharply.
In mid-March, the US dollar began to appreciate. In addition, the interest rate of the Fed began to increase and the economy had already reached full employment. When these changes occurred in the international context, they made Argentine lenders begin to look in more detail at the country's numbers.
The fiscal deficit did not fall (ended 2017 at 6% of GDP) and the current account deficit increased (reached 4.8% of GDP from 2.7% observed in 2016). In a nutshell, the lenders said "enough!" It became evident that, in fiscal terms, more than gradualism there was inaction.
Faced with the change in the international context, not only the lenders stopped lending us, but also the dollars that came in due to financial speculations also began to turn around. In this case, it should also be taken into account that a financial income tax was applied to them that surely helped those capitals to leave. However, if the financial income tax had not been applied, financial capital would have remained the same due to the change in the international context. Nor helped the drought that crosses the country this year, because they are less dollars that had not existed drought, had entered.
Finally, when observing the exchange rate, people were scared and the demand of pesos collapsed. What does this mean? That the pesos they have, they use to buy dollars. In other words, faced with a situation where the supply of dollars had become insufficient, now the demand for dollars (due to a fall in the demand for pesos) is increasing even more. This caused the exchange rate to accelerate its advance. This situation led to having to renegotiate with the IMF in the face of the failure of the original plan.
At the base of Argentina's problems, nonetheless, lies a two-headed beast. Namely, public spending and fiscal pressure.
Public spending is extremely high. Before the 2001 crisis, it was around 25 per cent of GDP. Today it is more than 40 percent. It's like our politicians have added an extra state to be supported by already beaten up taxpayers.
Naturally, Argentina's public sector voracity comes at the expense of the citizens' pockets. The country not only has one of the highest fiscal pressures of the world but the highest of Latin America. It is the "world champion" in raising the fiscal burden as percentage of GDP. Namely, close to 13 points between 2002 and 2016. Incidentally, Ireland decreased its fiscal pressure by more than 4 points in the same period.
People are fed up with peronism. They almost hate it. It's a synonym of decay and everything that is wrong with the country.
In spite of all his shortcomings, Mauricio Macri still has a good chance to be reelected. I would put it in 70 per cent. This happens in spite of Macri's silly gradualism. His presidency has been a bottom up event and people don't want peronists and populists back.
But Macri's presidency is underachieving. Is it a missed opportunity? Not yet… But there's not a clear reform agenda nor a transformational impulse. In certain aspects, it seems that the people are ahead the political class and their demands are not being met. People want real change.
Liberals are the only ones who can provide the reasonable policies Argentina desperately needs to stop the decadence and start growing. Maybe the best way to make our voice heard in an election year will be with a political candidate and a strong candidate. This is a likely scenario.

"The UK is a world-leader in aviation, supporting high value jobs across the country and facilitating international trade and tourism" – image courtesy of Depositphotos.
The UK government have launched an aviation strategy, setting out their proposals for the future of British aerospace over the next three decades.
The consultation sets out how the government plans to modernise the aviation sector. It includes details on the electrification of aircraft and on how barriers to innovation can be overcome.
The Aviation 2050: The future of UK aviation consultation paper sets out how the government plans to encourage new innovation and technology in the aviation sector, how it can reduce congestion, noise and emissions, and minimise delays at airports.
It says the electrification of aircraft "could present significant opportunities" for the UK as sales of conventional aircraft decline, and hybrid-electric aircraft and all-electric aircraft become more popular. It quotes the Aerospace Technology Institute figures which estimate that hybrid-electric aircraft could generate up to £4 trillion in revenue by 2050.
More data openness is also recommended. The report says that compared to other transport industries, the aviation industry is relatively behind in data openness.
It advocates that government work with the aviation industry to improve the quality and the openness of data by formulating an 'Aviation Data Action Plan,' similar in concept to the data action plan for rail.
Paul Everitt, chief executive of the aerospace sector trade organisation ADS, welcomed the government's consultation paper: "Today's publication of the government's Aviation 2050 strategy is an important step in delivering a more sustainable UK aviation industry.
"The UK is a world-leader in aviation, supporting high value jobs across the country and facilitating international trade and tourism. Industry is committed to working closely with government to implement the new strategy.
Among the report's other proposals include greater cooperation between government and industry in the early safe demonstration and piloting of new technologies. That should be combined with business models that can help the aerospace industry profit from the new technologies.
Campaigns to raise public awareness of new aerospace technologies are also proposed by the government. The Go Ultra Low electric vehicles campaign is seen as a model for public campaigns. This campaign involved government and industry encouraging motorists to buy more electric vehicles by educating them about the benefits of electric vehicles.


Hello world, welcome to my blog. A friend encouraged me to blog as a way of sharing my thoughts to others. So here I am.
Just the other night, at two o'clock in the morning my daughter's cry woke me up. I hurried up to her room and asked "what's wrong baby?" and she said "I wanna eat". I said "what do you wanna eat?" "Green beans" she replied. So we went to the kitchen and opened a can of green beans and warmed it up. And believe me she really ate a good bit. After brushing her teeth, we both went back to bed. And then at 4:28 am she woke up again and asked the same.
Isn't it weird that a 3 year old little girl would want to eat that kind of food early in the morning? Ever since my daughter started eating baby food, she really preferred eating pureed veggies and fruits over other variety. Even now she still prefers to eat fruits and veggies over other food that a normal kid her age would ask to eat.
It is very important that in baby's early age they learn how to eat healthy. It helps them grow active and smart.
Today is the first day of June, today marks my very first day of trying to post something for this blog. As you can see in the date, I started blogging in June 1, 2008. It's been three years and I am glad I have tried because I got to meet wonderful people like YOU!


It was senior night, the last time Ryan Belflower would wear his home [basketball] uniform. Everyone in the gym knew his story.
Ryan was a special education student who would do anything to fit in and worked tirelessly to make that happen. His basketball career began as a ninth grader passing out balls to the girls' team. Then he hooked on with the boys' team, getting there every morning at 6:30, helping out in drills, running the practice clock and cleaning up afterward.
Now, he sat proudly on the sideline in his own white No. 12 uniform.
The crowd wanted him in the game. [Coach] Amundsen wanted him in, too. But he was also afraid the slightly built 18-year-old might get hurt.
Amundsen considered all this as he walked toward Ryan and patted him on the shoulder. Off came the warmup jacket, the buzzer blew and Ryan kind of half hopped, half ran onto the court, his left leg trailing slightly at an odd angle.
The noise was deafening as he ran out on the court.
The final seconds were ticking off the clock and Clovis East got the ball one last time. This time, Ryan found a spot just beyond the 3-point line to the left of the key. He got a pass, and turned to shoot.
The noisy gym quieted for a split second as the ball seemed to hang in the air forever. . . .
Read the article and find out how it ends!
That is quite the article.

Antoine Griezmann has said he has a realistic chance of winning the Ballon d'Or this year but has criticised FIFA for failing to recognise France's World Cup players at The Best awards.
Atletico Madrid and France forward Griezmann won the Europa League last season before lifting the World Cup in Russia. And after finishing third in the 2016 poll having lost the Champions League and Euro 2016 finals, Griezmann believes he has a realistic chance of picking up football's most coveted individual prize.
"Yes, I'm thinking about it, especially as I'm getting closer and closer to it," he told L'Equipe. "When I finished third in 2016, I had lost two finals. Now, I've won three. The Ballon d'Or is a prestigious award and for a player it's the summit. There's nothing better, nothing bigger. There can be trophies in your league, the World Cup, the Euros, it's not the same.
"I would ask myself what I would have to do more. I have won three trophies, I've been important in decisive moments. But it's not me who votes.
"Comparing with 2016, I have to be in the final three."
Griezmann and his France teammates were missing when FIFA named their three-man shortlist for their The Best awards, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Mohamed Salah the nominees.
"It's bizarre, and a shame, it's FIFA who award the trophy right?" said Griezmann. "And the World Cup is organised by FIFA, right? We won the World Cup and there is no Frenchman at the end. It's a choice, but it's surprising there's no world champion."
Griezmann also praised Manchester United's Paul Pogba for his performances and leadership in France's World Cup campaign. Pogba has been criticised at times during his career at Old Trafford while Jose Mourinho said the tournament suited him better than club football.
"Paul really stepped up a level in the dressing room. He had the right words that pushed us on. Hugo [Lloris], Raph [Varane] and Blaise [Matuidi], we knew they were there, but Paul, yes, that surprised us more and it did us good that he spoke like that," Griezmann added.
"For me, each time he speaks, I want to laugh. Paul is so used to messing around that it surprises me. That's why when he speaks, he never looks at me. He knows I'll have a little smile and he could laugh at any time. But that did him good and us too.
"He won back the ball and played quickly. He gained a lot of confidence during the World Cup. He must not change, nor that the comments about him change. He should be like N'Golo [Kante] -- he wins the ball and gives it to the forwards."


Tired of rude waiters who spill your food and oblige you for a tip? That ain't a problem in this restaurant.
In 's Baggers, an innovative restaurant in Nuremberg, Germany, waiters are the thing of the past. Customers simply order food via a touchscreen on their table, and their orders reach them from the kitchen by sliding down a rail of long, looping metal tracks. It's the future of eating out, and it's pretty awesome.
Upon entering the restaurant, guests are given a card where all their order information will be stored. They can insert this card in the reader connected to the touchscreen and begin to select their orders.
Food arrives promptly right in front of them color-coded according to their seating arrangement. After the meal, they can evaluate their meals, the service, and ambiance of the restaurant through the touchscreen. They can even send an e-mail or SMS to recommend the restaurant to friends.
While waiters are being replaced by robots and machinery, real live human chefs remain intact in the kitchens. Food is excellently prepared, made from fresh organic ingredients sourced from the local Franconia region. There's a new menu every week, which brings people coming in for more.
The only bad thing about this restaurant is probably the fact that reservations are always full. So if you're hankering for a futuristic flair to your dinner, make a quick booking through the restaurant's official website.

Fans of Grant Gustin's Barry Allen were pretty upset when Ezra Miller was cast as the Scarlet Speedster in the upcoming Justice League movie instead of the CW star. Even fellow CW superhero Stephen Amell (Arrow) felt like it should have been Gustin suiting up as The Flash on the big screen.
Honestly, Snyder makes a good point. (Don't expect us to ever say that again.) The world Snyder has created for these titans of DC Comics is dark and serious, oftentimes egregiously so. Meanwhile, on the CW, The Flash regularly features more levity. It manages to strike the right balance of whimsy and angst, as projected in the original Flash comics.
But regardless of tone, Snyder notes that there's an even more substantial reason for this tale of two Flashes: the multiverse.
While Snyder and Warner Bros. have hinted at this before, it looks like the DC Comics universe is officially taking full advantage of, and committing to, its multiverse. If you're a comic book fan, or just a fan of The Flash, which has been doing a stellar job of explaining the multiverse over the past season, then you know what Snyder means by multiverse.
If not, here are the basics: Think about Earth, the planet we live on. Now, what if there was an alternate universe with an entirely different Earth on it? And another alternate universe where America lost World War II and now the country is an apocalyptic wasteland? And another one that's exactly the same as our world except everyone you know has a goatee? And what if there are infinite other versions of Earth, too, that all exist parallel to one another? That's the multiverse!
So, without getting into super nerdy detail, with the multiverse in play, you can have Gustin's Barry Allen hanging out on Earth-1, fighting metahumans of the week, and Miller's Barry Allen hanging out in some other dimension entirely, joining the ranks of the Justice League alongside Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Cyborg. They can both exist at the same time in parallel universes.
"I'm not avoiding [the TV show] at all," Miller told MTV News back in July. "I think it's awesome! And come on, we're The Flash! It's parallel universes. Grant Gustin is The Flash, and I'm The Flash. Don't you see? It's the Event Horizon! We crossed it, baby. Grant and I are chillin'. We're going to have a race -- it's going to be dope."
The Justice League Part One hits theaters November 17, 2017, but you can (maybe) catch a glimpse of Miller as Barry Allen in the upcoming Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, out March 25, 2016.

I haven't found the book that @Bob_Wilson recommended yet - at a used price - but for the nonce, I wonder if those, like Bob, who have put a lot of thought into this matter, think that the following trend and world-view is correct, going way too far, or not going far enough?
It seemed perfectly clear that the tweet intended to make parents more open to the possibility that their little bundles of joy may not turn out to be the boy or girl they thought they were raising. In fact, it strongly suggests that being too forceful in teaching such once-elementary realities as "boys have penises, girls have vaginas" is dangerous and antiquated.
"Most of the time our worry comes from a desire to be in control. It's actually a form of idolatry because it's making something else out to be bigger than God. We put Him back in His proper place in our minds when we say, "You're a good Father. I'm going to trust You. I refuse to worry about these things and choose to cast them on You. I have faith that You are a good Daddy" (p.99).
I have started 'The Rational Optimist' and will tell my feelings when done, it is by Matt Ridley and talks about how human evolution is moving forward. So far great book and more so a great idea.
Currently reading The Evangelical Universalist. I've got to say, it's much different than I thought it would be. From the sermons and youtube videos I've watched of Robin Parry, I've always found him to be highly academic, but his book is much easier to follow. Enjoying it so far, and I plan to post a review once I finish it.
I'm reading three books concurrently - well, not strictly concurrently, i.e. at the same time. They are the type of books one can read a bit, put down and carry on with others.
Specifically, Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules of Life, Jordan Sarfati's Refuting Compromise, and Nancy Pearcey's Total Truth. All very worth reading.
Sarfati's book is a refutation of Hugh Ross's attempts to fit creationism into the current position of non-creation scientists (the large majority) who attempt to explain you, me, all life and things from a purely naturalistic system of belief.
Pearcey provides an amazingly erudite case for a Christian worldview. She also sides with Sarfati in repudiating modern fallacies about the origins of this universe, this planet and all life herein. She exposes Darwinism for the nonsense it is.
Good reads, especially for the many of you on this Forum who appear to have adopted unproven, in fact unprovable, theories.
This review has moved me to order Amery's essay. The link to this most excellent blog is at the bottom.
The occasion of my Good Letters post was a review by Alan Lightman, the novelist who doubles as a physicist, in which he advances transcendence as the religious emotion. Transcendence is religion's "high," but like a drug-induced ecstasy, it grows blunt and less keen over time. Larger and more frequent doses of the original stimulus are necessary to revive the experience, which will never be as good as the first time. Or, to say the same thing in a different metaphor, the "acute fever" of religion, which James defends against its dull habit, is a condition in which no one can live for very long without suffering hallucinations.
There is a more adequate account of transcendence. The source is Jean Améry, the great Holocaust essayist. (He also wrote unforgettably about aging and suicide.) Transcendence, he wrote in At the Mind's Limits , first published in 1976, is the "basic quality" of the human mind. Améry means something quite ordinary by this: the mind reveals itself in transcending the brute and unpleasant facts of physical reality. "The mind is its own place," as Milton's Satan famously says, "and in it self Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n." Terminal illness can become the enjoyment of the small pleasures that give life its subtle tam ; performing the remunerative but difficult work upon which others depend can become the source of bitterness and complaint.
The function of transcendence in the religious life is to lay the foundation of an unalterable idea. The framework, though—the daily commitment to the idea—becomes what Lightman calls the "most persuasive evidence of God." Transcendence is a glimpse of the reality created and sustained by dull habit.
Everything that happens to Eddie in the sequel is a consequence of his failure to make "that feeling" the basis of action or belief. Like so many of his contemporaries, he prefers the fever to the habit.
Dr. Sleep by Stephen King, sequel to The Shining.
Is Dr. Sleep any good? King has gotten kind of hit-or-miss, but the Shining is a classic.
Looks like a very good read! That's the time period I am most interested in.
By Peter M De Lorenzo.
His blog about cars and Detroit is classic. Must read for any CAR GUYS!


I'd like to start this short warning by saying I'm a naturally lean girl. Always been – and judging by the looks of my father, who passed his skinny gene onto me – I'll always be. I'm coming forth with this because I'm honestly hoping it will keep 'haters gonna hate' genre comments at bay. Yeah, I've been getting a lot of those, especially when I signaled that this or that starlet is craving for attention by wearing a dress two sizes below her normal size. There's no 'poor taste' indicator on the scale, people! One can very well be model – thin and still favor Jersey Shore fashion.
I was browsing through the news and one thing really alarmed me among the gazillion fashion topics of what coat, what dress you should pack for Thanksgiving. Weight! Just try it yourself: go check out your favorite website (that'll be StyleFrizz, ahem! – blushing) and you'll notice the weight talk!
I've read people talking about respectable hit TV series and the weight of the actors involved. I've read articles about Jessica Simpson's new weight loss, I even read that Zara won't expand in rural U.S. because the customers 'won't fit in the clothes'.
You think I'm kidding, huh? No! Once the Holiday Season milestone is hit, every year, the media starts pumping the weight issue through all the available channels. I was in the kitchen yesterday, listening to the news. On the radio. And lo and behold, the NPR news continued, after highlighting the main political and economical issues of the day, with a very interesting talk surrounding the treadmill desk. Because, you see, the experimental use, on a small group of 30 people showed that they lost a lot of weight in just a month from switching from the traditional desk to the treadmill desk.
It's a dream! Personally, I always wanted to write a lengthy piece of thought like this one while running at 2miles per hour. Actually, you know what? next time I'll do my yoga workouts, I'll try exercising my Photoshop retouching skills on some random picture!
Yesterday, I signaled Christina Aguilera as a wrong example and I used her Red Carpet appearance during the annual AMAs this year to sustain my theory: there's no way you can broadcast a positive message to your fans or indifferent bystanders if you're looking like a burnt pancake pan! People stop focusing on who you are and concentrate on how you look instead. Hence the numerous backslash pouring in Christina's direction because she can't be waif skinny. I have no problem with that scale – talk, I happen to think that it's just not an easy topic to address to. The complexity of weight gain / loss is dynamite sensitive matter. Should be treated accordingly. Do I even need to exemplify what happens instead? I'm sure that if you take it inside yourself, you'll remember at least one occasion, daily, when you've heard / read / witnessed a weight – discrimination moment!
From the abyss of the zero size talk to the peak of bashing a rounder person, you'll hear them all during the Holidays Season! All colors of the weight rainbow will pass before your eyes like Macy's giant Thanksgiving parade balloons. All that because people gather round festive dinners during this season and they go ahead and enjoy themselves! It's like every ounce of menu joy must be paid for in jeans and workout sweat. Maybe it's time we start treating ourselves with more honesty and more love? Maybe if we would just stop obsessing about the outside shell we would give our body a chance to tell us what it needs? What it wants? Chances are your body won't tell you that you really need that extra pair of extra skinny jeans! But ask yourself this: are you ready to be honest with yourself? Are you ready to forget the trending topics, figure out what you want to be and just go out and become that?
I'm aware that this weight talk could've gone further, but I just wanted this piece to be a modest warning sign pre – Holidays. You'll hear a lot of weight talk this season. Let it pass, it'll fade on itself, like every other fashionable thing out there.
Here's Jessica Simpson's New Baby Bump!
Jessica Simpson Hiding New Baby Bump?


Woodland Park, Passaic County, New Jersey - On Tuesday July 5th at 14:20 hrs Woodland Park police were dispatched for a reported two car motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Taft Avenue and Jackson Avenue in the borough.
They arrived to find this bizarre scene. One car, a Ford AWD "Edge� that was turning onto Jackson Ave struck a Honda Accord head on; the resulting collision caused the Ford to ride up on top of another! A female driver was trapped in the upper vehicle. The occupants of the lower car self extricated themselves.
The West Paterson Fire Department was requested and Rescue 1, Engine 2 and Engine 3 responded to the scene along with EMS and Paramedics. Assistant Chief Joseph Macones established command and directed first due Rescue 1 to stabilize the upper vehicle and free the occupant from the drivers seat out of the passenger door of the Ford "Crossover� vehicle. Engine 2 assisted with the extrication and Engine 3 stretched a protection attack line for the operation.
Quickly the vehicle was secured using West Paterson Fire's new Rescue Jacks cribbing, it was discovered the occupant had suffered no apparent injuries from the accident that propelled her all wheel drive car into the air coming to rest the way it did, she was checked out at the scene after being removed by the firefighters. It took about 15 minutes to extricate the female occupant from the wreck.
No other injuries were reported at the scene. A flat bed from a local towing service pulled the lower vehicle away letting the other settle back down to terra firma, and cleaned up glass and misc debris at the scene. All fire units were returned to quarters about 45 Minutes after dispatch. Yet another fine job by the volunteer fire units of the West Paterson Fire Department.

Palm Confident That Pre Will Launch On Time
by Jennifer Chappell Wed, 28 Jan 2009 3:46 am EST
In light of the news that Apple got the multi-touch patents, many wonder if Palm is biting their nails. I was very happy to have just read an article over at Laptop Magazine that Palm is confident that the Pre will launch on time. Mark Spoonauer spoke with Palm spokesperson Lynn Fox on the phone, and Fox reiterated that "the company is on more than solid ground should the legal fists start flying."
We reported recently that Lynn Fox had spoken out regarding a possible patent lawsuit:
"Palm has a long history of innovation, obviously reflected in our own products and our own robust apps portfolio," she said. "We have long been recognized for our fundamental patents in the mobile space. If we're faced with legal action, we're confident that we have the tools to defend ourselves."
Laptop Magazine pressed Fox a bit further about the possibility that the lawsuit might impact Palm's upcoming launch of the Pre. According to the article, Fox stated:
"We have no reason to think that our launch plans for the webOS and Palm Pre won't come to full fruition. We have no plans to change the launch time."
Now that was music to my ears! I don't know when the Pre is actually supposed to launch as we've heard recently that it could coincide with the launch of the Sprint Treo Pro. But.... WMExperts posted in an article yesterday that the Sprint Treo Pro is now delayed until the end of February.
We have a long discussion going on at the moment in our TreoCentral Pre forums about the rumored February 15th Pre launch date. Some forum members seem to think that Palm will have a Super Bowl ad for the Pre. That would be wild, huh? I'd sure love to see a Pre ad during the Super Bowl. I won't be holding my breath of course, but seeing an ad would be awesome. But more importantly, I just want to see the Pre be released as soon as possible.

When explaining his reasons for leaving, Ollie said;
"I have to be honest with myself, and everyone, that I do still love someone else… I have to follow my heart in this scenario and it would be wrong for me to ignore these feelings. At the end of the day, this is Love Island and it's about finding love. If I carried on anything with Paige, or any other girl that might come into the villa, it wouldn't be fair on them."

New Rosetta view of the comet - and a comparison to other comets
Rosetta's view of Churyumov-Gerasimenko is getting better and better. Today they released a new image from the high-resolution OSIRIS camera, and it's a very fresh one, taken only two days ago. Distinct features are coming into view. I'm curious about the black dot on the duck's back -- it reminds me of the black boulder (PDF) that Hayabusa saw on Itokawa.
OSIRIS view of comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko on July 29, 2014 Rosetta obtained this view of the comet on July 29, 2014 from only 1950 kilometers away. The pixel scale is about 37 meters. This image has been enlarged by a factor of 3 from the original resolution.Image: ESA / Rosetta / MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS / UPD / LAM / IAA / SSO / INTA / UPM / DASP / IDA
This is finally a detailed enough image for me to update my "comets visited by spacecraft" montage! I'll probably re-update this again with a better image in the future, but it's good enough for now. (Visit planetary.org/cometscale to see if there's a newer version -- that link will return you to this post now, but if I update the image again I'll make it go to the updated one.) Notice that of six comets that we've visited, at least four of them seem to consist of two (or more) bodies welded together with a narrow neck in between. There's the Borrelly bowling pin, the Hartley 2 dog bone, Halley's dumbbell, and now Churyumov-Gerasimenko's duck, making double-lobed bodies more common among the comets we've visited than the marginally rounder shapes of Tempel 1 or Wild 2.
Scale comparison of comets visited by spacecraft as of August 29, 2014 As of 2014, six comets have been visited by spacecraft; the most recent addition is Rosetta's 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This version of the montage has now been supplanted by a more recent one.Image: Image credits: Halley: Russian Academy of Sciences / Ted Stryk. Borrelly: NASA / JPL / Ted Stryk. Tempel 1 and Hartley 2: NASA / JPL / UMD. Churyumov-Gerasimenko: ESA / Rosetta / MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS / UPD / LAM / IAA / SSO / INTA / UPM / DASP / IDA. Wild 2: NASA / JPL. Montage by Emily Lakdawalla.
The Rosetta image looks a little weird in this composite because Rosetta is approaching the comet from the direction of the Sun, so it's equally lit all over; there's no cast shadows, no shape discernible from shading. Eventually there should be some Rosetta pictures of the comet whose lighting geometry matches the other photos better, and I'll put out a new version then!

Chris Gilmour Transforms Recycled Cardboard into Life-Size Sculptures of Dentist Chairs and Pianos

Chris Gilmour
Instead of sending flat, leftover cardboard boxes to the recycling center, artist Chris Gilmour transforms them into life-sized sculptures. Creating using nothing but cardboard and glue, the artist's sculptures are detailed and refined, as if made from a more sophisticated material. Gilmour renders everything from musical instruments to medical equipment, to cars and bikes, in chillingly realistic detail.
The British artist recycles packaging material into his painstakingly detailed sculptures, without the use of any supporting frames, wood or metal. Each represents an object from everyday life, but rendered in cardboard, it takes on a whole new presence.
His pieces tap into our and memories of these objects and our relation to them while growing up -- vintage typewriters and vacuum cleaners remind us of homework and domestic life, and a dentist chair is replicated in full detail, including examination light and spit sink.
The material of cardboard- a childhood favorite for fort and playhouse making- also beckons our memories of the objects Gilmour replicates, tying them in with the present.
The apparent functionality of Gilmour's cardboard sculptures often seem so real, that the viewer gets confused.
He has sited visitors attempting to type on his typewriters and open car doors before they realize that the pieces are in fact art works and not the real thing.
Gilmour uses recycled cardboard and packaging material because of its accessibility -- virtually all of his neighbors and family members throw away the material on a regular basis. Instead of traditional marble or bronze, Gilmour makes a modern and environmentally sensitive statement, while playing on our nostalgic memories.
